EDITOR’S NOTE UP, UP AND AWAY In a photo from the National Democratic Convention, former President Bill Clinton is brushing the back of his hand across an oversized red balloon that has dropped from the ceiling. The look on his face is one of childlike delight. The DNC marked the official beginning of the contest for the next President of the United States, but the question of who will succeed President Barack Obama has been a topic of conversation in the news, on social media and at cocktail parties for more than a year. People seem to be, not surprisingly, exhausted with national politics. Bill Clinton’s balloon moment was a kind of reprieve. Here at Boise Weekly, we strive to keep things fresh and local. This week, legislators will convene at the Idaho Statehouse to consider faith healing and its impacts on Gem State children—In the 1970s, Idaho passed a law granting exemptions from prosecution in cases where parents had denied their children medical care on account of religious beliefs. Stay tuned for coverage of that meeting, which is scheduled to take place on Thursday, Aug. 4. In this week’s edition, News Editor George Prentice looks at a recent Idaho Environmental Forum about dams on the Snake River. While some argue hydroelectric dams on one of the West’s most significant waterways are pivotal to electricity production, others argue the threats posed to fish and other wildlife by the dams is too high and press for use of more solar and wind energy. In more lighthearted news, this week’s Citizens are Cassandra Bissell and Juan Rivera LeBron, the stars of Idaho Shakespeare Festival’s production of Twelfth Night. Interesting fact: Neither of them have fixed addresses; they’re nomad thespians at the top of their games. Sometimes the malaise creeps so deep, we turn to booze, so we convened a panel to concoct and drink mai tais. BW intern Greta Gardner served as mixologist and author for this week’s feature on the classic tiki drink, in which she includes a little history of this tropical delight and showcases two fine rums. Find it on Page 24. Whatever your level of enthusiasm or ennui, maybe all you need is a red balloon—and this week’s edition of Boise Weekly. —Harrison Berry

OPINION FROM THE FAR MARGINS Pretending to pray NICOLE LEFAVOUR For eight years, while I was elected to serve as an Idaho State Representative and Senator, I sat on-camera in the big leather seats in the formal chambers of the House and the Senate where we voted, and where, each day, I was expected to pray. I have a deep faith in some core part of humanity, in the chaos of the wild, and in the fundamental good intent of individual people, but I do not believe in god. My internal morals, the way my parents raised me, what I have worked for in my life and how I have lived at times, would probably have made me a good follower of several religions. However, like many quiet people with no religion, it is not for a god that I do what I do. I’ve lived life in a world which I never really noticed spun delicately in the shadow of powerful churches, ancient synagogues, mosques and temples. Religion shaped our constitution, steers the hand of policy makers and governors, declares wars, sets limits on what bills will be heard and, to this day, confines our lives within ever tighter and weaker circles of law. It’s a common and senseless presumption that Americans are religious. We smile when told ‘God bless you,’ we bow our heads, repeat lines others say— but millions of us do not literally believe in God. There’s a conspicuous pressure for those who do not believe to be silent, not to, by our visibility, call to question the faith of those who do. The godless are amoral. The godless are less patriotic, less chaste, less selfless, less pure. And quietly with our silence we let that be the script. We keep ourselves safe from judgement and others safe from feeling questioned. You will often find us pretending to pray. When the Democratic national convention aired this past week, I had no seat in the vast stadium of the faithful as I had eight years earlier when I cast my delegate vote for a community organizer named Barack Obama. I wholly believed in my heart that this one man could turn the tides of injustice that had scoured communities in poverty, immigrants, LGBT people, Latinos, people with disabilities, women, and communities of color. But no amount of faith could overcome the swing of the pendulum that turned Congress from a friendly body to an impenetrable wall set on stopping every bit of progress I’d BOISE WEEKLY.COM
hoped to see as I sat in that stadium seat in Denver where that president accepted the nomination from the party to which I’d lent my faith. Presidents do not make the laws. Their powers are limited. They set tone and can veto what they like, but they are not gods. Sometimes we treat them as gods though. Just as political party becomes religion, we are a nation of polytheistic fanatics sprinkled among a vast overriding majority of people who are quietly godless. The majority, bows its head in the voting booth, the confessional, where they are forced to put their supposed faith to paper if they are to have any impact on the policy that draws limits on their lives and establishes their freedoms in law. In choosing to enter a church they are stuck with the patriotic rhetoric which draws battle lines, forces them to choose one ballot or the other, take up arms in the name of one scripture or the other, turning our nation’s highest law making body into a battle ground for opposing crusades. You can see it on social media, the ones who fight for party and the ones who focus on policy regardless of party. The faithful and the godless. I know three things: I know the godless are the majority; I know Congress makes the laws and if we do not look at individual policy makers there, all is lost; I also know political systems can change, can evolve. In America, it will be our peril if we do not start now to open and loosen our political primaries, to use top-two run offs and big wide “ranked ballots” where any candidate of any party, or of no party, can run and no one wastes their vote because choices are numbered by preference so that a voter’s next most -preferred candidate gets their vote if their favorite isn’t popular enough to be viable. We can change and upend what has become a system of fanaticism, not a system of democracy. It’s time we stop risking having the most extreme or pure of either party as our only option. They can not be the only gods to which voters are expected to pray. It’s time politics were done in the name of the people affected, for the sake of the policy, not the party. People will bow their heads and mouth the words only so long before they leave the pews or fill the streets and stop pretending to pray. BOISEweekly c AUGUST 3–9, 2016 c 5
CITYDESK
Ada County Commissioners should have a decision on Aug. 10 about the private airstrip.
FOOTHILLS AIRSTRIP ETA SET FOR WEDNESDAY, AUG. 10 After listening to hours worth of evenlydivided public testimony on July 27, regarding a controversial proposal to build an airstrip in the Boise Foothills, Ada County Commissioners said they needed to delay their decision. “You get into these land-use issues and it tends to get emotional,” said Commissioner Dave Case. “We received 250 pieces of testimony that we still need to go through.” Though only 31 people testified at the public hearing—16 in favor, 15 against— more than 200 apparently sent in testimony or documents for commissioners to consider. “We have a lot of material to consider here, and some very good testimony,” said Commissioner Jim Tibbs. “There were quite a few new exhibits introduced that we haven’t had a chance to thoroughly review yet.” “We’re going to need some fresh minds and little bit of rest,” said Commissioner Rick Yzaguirre, as the evening of July 27 approached the morning of July 28 and with that, Case, Yzaguirre and Tibbs agreed to push their decision to Wednesday, Aug.10 at 7 p.m. at the Ada County Courthouse. It was earlier this year when landowner Dean Hilde asked for special zoning to build a private airstrip in the Wildhorse subdivision, north of Table Rock, in the Foothills. Because the subdivision is outside Boise city limits, the Boise City Council asked the Ada County Planning and Zoning Commission to reject the request. Boise Mayor David Bieter said he was stunned at “the audacity” of such a request and Councilman TJ Thomson said an airstrip would be “out of touch with the community.” Arguments fell on deaf ears when in May, the commissioners approved the request. Undeterred, however, the City of Boise appealed the decision. The three county commissioners will be acting as ad-hoc air traffic control managers when they try to negotiate a safe landing of the issue on Wednesday, Aug. 10. —George Prentice

NEWS DAMS, MEGAWATTS AND POACHED SALMON How changing the way we generate electricity is inevitable GEORGE PRENTICE The room in the Hoff Building was packed on the blistering hot afternoon of July 26 during the Idaho Environmental forum’s latest effort to deconstruct the debate of salmon recovery versus the Northwest’s network of hydropower dams. Even regular attendees of IEF forums were stunned by the overflow attendance. “You know what? I think a lot of these people are lawyers,” whispered an Idaho Department of Environmental Quality employee to a tablemate. It was an excellent observation. “We’ve invited attorneys from opposing sides to participate,” said Greg Hahn, associate vice president for communications at Boise State University and event moderator. “They declined.” But Todd True, who has spent the past three decades defending wildlife and lands for Earthjustice, accepted and for the next 60 minutes, he delivered a message of urgency in the decades-long debate over the salmon struggling to navigate the Snake River dams as they migrate to the cool spawning waters of central Idaho. “Living without those dams in order to save the salmon is not an unsurmountable problem. We can do this,” said True. “The Bonneville Power Administration is fond of saying that there is a 97 percent survival rate of juvenile fish through the Columbia/Snake hydropower system—but you want to be very careful with that number. For example, it doesn’t take into account the losses at each of the eight dams. Add to that the increased temperatures at reservoirs behind the dams. Then there’s the stress of going through the hydro system. The fish are victims of something called ‘delayed mortality.’ The real juvenile survival rate? It’s closer to 50 percent.” Three hours from Boise, at the much-cooler Redfish Lake Lodge in the Sawtooth National Forest, officials were happy to report one salmon had managed the 900-mile migration from the Pacific Ocean, swimming past Portland, Ore.; The
Dalles, Ore.; spillways across the Snake River and the eight massive dams on the Snake River to the spawning waters near the Sawtooths. “I’ve been here 18 years. It amazes me to watch the dynamic of the salmon—one year having one fish and another year seeing 1,800,” said Jeff Clegg, general manager of the Redfish Lake Lodge. “I don’t know all the reasons of how or why some fish are able to make their way back here, but I do know that people talk about it. It’s exciting, and they want to know more.” From his vantage point at the Idaho Fish and Game headquarters in Boise, fisheries staff biologist Russ Kiefer said the salmon that showed up at Redfish Lake on July 20 made the journey from Bonneville Dam (about 40 miles east of Portland, Ore.) in 33 days. “We know that because we put glass-encapsulated computer chips in the many of the juveniles, and we can track them online,” said Kiefer, pointing to the University of Washington’s Data Access in Real Time or DART tracking system. “Obviously, a lot of people kept wanting to know when the first salmon arrived at Redfish this year, especially considering how things were last year.” Last year was a deadly one for sockeye salmon: Most died in the too-warm waters of the Lower Snake and Columbia Rivers. Additionally, biolo-
gists noted many of the fish suffered extreme stress, ending up with gaping ulcers or sores, bulging eyes and shredded skin. “And that’s the stress that I talked about, “said True. “They truly suffer from a delayed mortality.” Altering or removing those dams would be a giant mistake, though, according to the Bonneville Power Administration, the federal power broker that administers the network of dams cherished by electric utilities throughout the region. As an example, the four dams on the lower Snake River generate an average of 1,022 megawatts annually, which is enough energy to power a city the size of Seattle every year. But opponents point to a 2009 report from the NW Energy Coalition showing that even if the region’s carbon-emitting coal plants went dark and the four dams ceased operating, there is “enough affordable energy efficiency and renewable energy resources in the Northwest to satisfy load growth.” True couldn’t agree more. “The numbers I’ve seen … about 950 megawatts coming from the four lower Snake River dams, primarily in the spring, due to snow run-off,” he said. “But compare that to the non-hydro renewable energy, which is 7 about 2,500 MW. Plus, there is 1,500 MW more in the pipeline, heading our way, BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Boise Rescue Mission sends plea for financial help
Ten-digit dialing will begin in November and be mandatory effective August 2017.
IDAHO GETS A SECOND AREA CODE (986), 10-DIGIT DIALING WILL SOON GO INTO EFFECT
GEORGE PRENTICE It’s not unusual for the Boise Rescue Mission to turn to the public for help, but in nearly every instance, appeals have come as part of regular newsletters or direct mailings and usually around the holiday season. So, more than a few Treasure Valley residents were surprised to read an Aug. 1 announcement from the Mission, stating it needs financial assistance, quick—and the tone of the request was dire. “I’m not crying wolf,” wrote Mission CEO Rev. Bill Roscoe in the Aug.1 newsletter. The Mission serves between 900 and 1,000 free meals each day to needy Treasure Valley men, women and children, and the Mission’s shelters house around 400 people each night. “This is no small thing; we do it without any government money,” said Roscoe, adding that this is the first time anyone with the Mission can remember turning to the public for help in a financial crisis. “We did have something a bit like this four of five years ago, but we looked within ourselves to solve that. This time ... the deficit is quite large (approximately $350,000), and we want to the Treasure Valley to know that we need their help.” Roscoe said the problem started in the fall of 2015, when the Mission was set to mail out

its traditional holiday appeal, which helps fund programs through the calendar year. “But the subcontractor who was to send out those letters, one of the largest mail houses in the nation, went bankrupt, turned out the lights and walked away, leaving all of the letters in their warehouse,” said Roscoe. “Our direct contact didn’t hear about it until it was too late. There was no way to recover that and the deficit followed us through the year.” Roscoe estimates about 50,000 appeal letters were never mailed.
much of it solar. That’s much, much more than hydro.” Though some argue renewable sources are inconsistent because 6 “the wind doesn’t always blow” or “the sun doesn’t always show,” True said it’s important to find a way to help the Northwest become more dependable on wind and solar and less on hydro power. “It’s a solvable problem,” he said. “We still have time to find alternative solutions. People, this is not an insurmountable problem. One study says if hydro would go away, customer bills would actually go down. Another study says that customer bills might go up, but less than $1 a month.” Regardless of whether this year’s salmon run is more robust than 2015 or is further indication of the species’ decline, something has to give. In October 2005, U.S. District Judge James Redden issued an order to the U.S. government in to correct its dam operations on the Snake and Columbia rivers in order to recover salmon. “The government’s inaction appears to some parties to be a strategy intended to avoid making hard choices and offending those who favor the status quo,” wrote Redden. “Without real action from the agencies, the result will be the loss of the wild salmon.” BOISE WEEKLY.COM

“That’s our life blood,” he said. “It’s not as if we have a collection plate.” Things went from bad to worse, Roscoe said, when the Mission experienced a “summer slump,” a downturn in donations. “We’ve never had to turn to a bank for a loan, and we’re going to do everything we can to avoid that,” said Roscoe. “We don’t see any cuts to programs or layoffs. We just wouldn’t do that. We would go to the bank first, but I’m optimistic that the people of the Valley will hear about what happened and help us out.”
Redden retired in 2011, handing the case to U.S. District Court Judge Michael Simon who doubled-down in May of this year, telling dam operators continued inaction was not an option. “For more than 20 years, the federal agencies have ignored the admonishments and continued to focus essentially on the same approach,” wrote Simon. “These efforts have already cost billions of dollars, yet they are failing. Many populations of the listed species continue to be in a perilous state.” True said the U.S. government asked Simon for five more years to come up with a solution. “And Judge Simon said, ‘OK, you want some more rope? Fine, here you go,’” said True. “And to those of you who think you’ve seen this movie before, I would say that this isn’t Groundhog Day. It’s more similar to The Same River Twice.” True was referring to the 2003 documentary film that took its title from a saying by 6th century B.C. Greek philosopher Heraclitus: “You cannot step twice into the same river.” True is saying change is inevitable; and significant change to how we generate electricity and its dramatic impact on endangered salmon is right around the river bend.
When Idaho’s Public Utilities Commission announced in the fall of 2015 that it was preparing to introduce a second area code to the Gem State—986—with a launch date of late 2017, the news garnered plenty of headlines. Though not much has been said about the change since, the PUC wants to remind Idahoans that the new area code, which will require 10-digit dialing, is fast approaching. In the planning stages, PUC took public comments and more than half of the Idahoans who wrote letters asking for a geographic split, with half of the state retaining the old area code and half assuming the new one. The PUC pushed back, saying it would cause major disruption. Instead, the PUC adopted a “geographic overlay,” which will assign the new area code any newly issued phone number statewide. The geographic overlay will require all Idaho customers to dial 10 digits, a change that “will eventually drive seven-digit dialing into obsolescence,” according to the PUC. Voluntary 10-digit dialing will begin in November, becoming mandatory in August 2017. In anticipation of the change, the PUC will hold a series of public workshops across the state. In the Treasure Valley, the workshop will be at the PUC’s Boise headquarters at 472 W. Washington St., on Wednesday, Sept. 28, at 7 p.m. Other workshops will be held in Lewiston (Wednesday, Aug. 10), Coeur d’Alene (Thursday, Aug. 11), Pocatello (Tuesday, Sept. 27) and Twin Falls (Wednesday, Sept. 28). But PUC officials want to be clear: the workshops are intended to explain the new area code, not to debate the pending change. “Because the commission has already made its final determination...these workshops will be informational in nature and not an opportunity to discuss alternatives,” warned a PUC statement. Meanwhile, more information is available at puc.idaho.gov. —George Prentice

You don’t have to be John Popper to dig the Yellow Pine Festival.
27TH ANNUAL YELLOW PINE MUSIC AND HARMONICA FESTIVAL The harmonic brings to mind classic scenes of old Westerns: tumbleweeds rolling across dirt roads, wild horses galloping through hills, cowboys sauntering into saloons. The “pocket harp” is an Old West icon, but it’s alive and well in the Valley County hamlet of Yellow Pine, when the Yellow Pine Music and Harmonica Festival transforms the town into “the harmonica capital of the western world.” The festival, which is in its 27th year, includes three days of workshops (not only on harmonica but in songwriting, looping and more), food and craft vendors, children’s concerts and performances by renowned players and bands, like a night under the stars with Willie and the Singlewides. Join in the Friday and Saturday morning parades, followed by jam sessions where all players are welcome. 10 a.m. Friday, FREE. Yellow Pine, 208-633-6945. yellowpinemusicandharmonicafestival.org.

FUTUREBIRDS, AUG. 3 Nothing quite evokes wistful weariness like a steel guitar. Coupled with the delicate vocals of guitarist/singer Carter King, Athens, Ga.-based Futurebirds use it to unreel a brand of countrified rock that calls to mind too-hot evenings in sad small towns. The quintet’s third studio album, Hotel Parties (Easy Sound, 2015), is a collection of sometimes jangly, sometimes twangy, somewhat psychedelic tracks colored by King’s style, which carries a hint of Neal Young. Opening track “Paranoia Letters” features Futurebirds’ signature dreamy, soaring melodies stretching on forever— a la REM—complete with majestic guitar bends. The title track has King at his Neal Young-iest, his lilting, high-register delivery ideal for narrative-rich lyrics exploring the rambling life of a musician, loneliness and self-medication. Catch Futurebirds when it wings into town. —Zach Hagadone With Parade of Bad Guys, 5 p.m., FREE. Basque Block, downtownboise.org.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM
JOHN E. COMBAT, AUG. 5, NEUROLUX Last year, Boise Weekly named John E. Combat and The Jungle Fucks’ Pain Milk (self-released) one of the best local albums of 2015. It was a peculiar choice because Pain Milk is a digital-only release from a group that disbanded more than five years ago. It was a logical choice because Pain Milk is an exciting timeless record that combines the sludge-punk sound of Flipper with organ-driven frat-rock reminiscent of The Dave Clark Five and The Kingsmen. Also, this loose fun recording alludes to what must have been an awesome band to see live, creating a bittersweet listening experience for anyone who didn’t see John E. Combat and The Jungle Fucks when they were active. Fortunately for fans of music and the Boise rock scene, Jonathan “John E. Combat” Schoenfelder is back. The Jungle Fucks moniker has been dropped out of respect for former members and the new line-up, but expect the same distorted organ and face-melting music. Combat kicks off a short West Coast tour at Neurolux on Friday— hopefully the first of many Treasure Valley shows to come.

The partnership between Jodi Peterson, the director of development and programs at Interfaith Sanctuary homeless shelter, and internationally renowned musician Curtis Stigers is a bit like a jazzy song: it has elements of sentimentality, melodrama and improvisation. “It was a safe way to fall in love,” said Peterson. “It took some time, and the friendship was always there,” said Stigers. The best way to describe the couple, now Jodi Peterson and Curtis Stigers at McCall’s Payette Lake, where Stigers will host one of three McCall Jazz engaged, is to say they are partners. Their latest concerts, starting Wednesday, Aug. 3 through Saturday, Aug. 6. collaboration is a cool trilogy of music events dubbed McCall Jazz: on Wednesday, Aug. 3, “It’s a huge commitment for her,” said Stigers.

SCREEN KEEPING THE FAITH AND THE BABIES The verdict on The Innocents: Powerful GEORGE PRENTICE Director Anne Fontaine’s new must-see film— and certain Oscar contender—reminds us that our fears of terror and oppression were our also our parents’ … and their parents’ and their parents’ and so on. When wannabe oligarchs preach isolation or fascism, the flames of hate are rekindled. So as I watched The Innocents (released as Les Innocentes when it debuted at Sundance earlier this year), I was struck at how relevant its theme was, in spite of it being based on a true story from 1945 Poland. Do not be disinclined to see The Innocents. Granted, a Franco-Polish production of a Post WWII psychological drama may not be your idea of a date night, but I promise, you will not soon forget The Innocents. You may weep in sorrow early on, but by the end, you’ll be crying tears of joy—in part, I’m happy to note, because of two magnificent female filmmakers behind the camera: Fontaine (the underappreciated Coco Before Chanel) and cinematographer Caroline Champetier (Cesar Award winner for 2011’s Of Gods and Men). The Innocents is based on the remembrances of Madeleine Pauliac, a young Red Cross doctor assigned to heal wounded Allied soldiers in previously Nazi-occupied Poland. When a nun arrives at the Red Cross hospital, begging Pauliac to come to a nearby convent, we learn

SCREEN EXTRA DISHING FOR DOLLARS Boise television viewers can be forgiven for thinking the latest “sky is falling” announcement from KNINTV is a repeat. Every local affiliate of a major broadcast network has warned viewers of the possibility of going dark in the wake of broken negotiations with either a cable (CableOne) or satellite (DISH or DirecTV) carrier. Last fall, KTVB-TV warned its BOISE WEEKLY.COM
viewers NBC programming might disappear if the station’s relationship with DISH didn’t improve—of course, they worked things out. In 2012, KBOI-TV said CBS programs would go away if an agreement with CableOne couldn’t be ironed out—again, they inked a new deal. Now, it’s the local FOX affiliate’s turn with DISH. “Most of the time, these negotiations are handled quickly
and behind the scenes with no interruptions,” Kathy Silk, KNIN general manager tells viewers in a taped message. “Unfortunately, to date, we have been unable to reach an agreement [with DISH]. You could lose our station.” Silk tells viewers they risk losing the new fall TV season, the World Series and NFL football. She also fires a shot across DISH’s bow, saying, “You always have choices
through our free, over-the-air signal and other providers [DirecTV or CableOne].” Things are a less friendly in the KNIN versus DISH match. DISH has recently begun suing affiliates for what it calls “Dump DISH” tactics, arguing that “DISH’s goodwill as a reliable service provider is eroded.” We’ll keep you updated. —George Prentice BOISEweekly c AUGUST 3–9, 2016 c 23
BOOZEHOUND TIME FOR A MAI TAI The old-school cocktail is still a delightful summer refresher GRE TA GARDNER
TRADER VIC’S DARK RUM—$16 AND UP The mixologist’s injunction against mixing light and dark boozes doesn’t apply to the mai tai. In fact, the day and night mixture is just one of many of its famous characteristics. The original mai tai recipe begins with dark rum, and there are plenty delicious ones to play around with, such as Myers’s [sic] or Gosling’s Black Seal. For the sake of tradition, we used Trader Vic’s Dark Rum, which, by itself, went 24 c AUGUST 3–9, 2016 c BOISEweekly
down a little too easy. Don’t let the initial aroma fool you: This rum contains creamy vanilla undertones that bring through a delicate sweetness despite the acidity of all three fruit juices we used in our recipe. Put down the slumpy spiced rums—Trader Vic’s Dark is delightful and affordable.
BW STAFF
Overlooking the Emeryville, Calif., Marina with a view of the sparkling San Francisco Bay, is Trader Vic’s Polynesian restaurant and lounge, a beloved spot for people in search of exotic eats, premier cocktails or a tropical getaway close to home. It’s a realm of tiki gods and tribal decor, and its top-notch Polynesian cuisine has earned it a place among San Francisco’s best restaurants. Trader Vic’s is also well known in the cocktail world: the contemporary tiki hut is known as the birthplace of the original mai tai. As the story goes, the drink was coined “mai tai” one afternoon in 1944, when Victor J. “Trader Vic” Bergeron hosted some friends visiting from Tahiti. He passed around a new concoction, made from dark rum, light rum, lime juice, orange Curacao liqueur, orgeat syrup, simple syrup, ice cubes, and garnished with a pineapple wedge and fresh mint. After the first sip, one of his guests shouted, “Maita’i roa ae!” or “Out of this world!” Another restaurateur, however, claimed to have created the cocktail several years prior. Ernest Raymond Beaumont Gantt, better known as Donn Beach or “Beachcomber,” lured customers in with his “rum rhapsodies” and is considered the founder of tiki-themed restaurants, popular in the 1940s and ’50s. Gantt said he invented the “mai tai” in 1933, but Vic’s growing celebrity sidelined Gantt’s claim. Trader Vic’s spawned a slew of locations in Europe, the Middle East and Asia, and with the expansion of restaurants, the mai tai became even more popular, which in turn inspired bartenders and mixologists to create their own versions of the tropical drink. Inspired by the summer heat, a Boise Weekly tasting panel took up its own tiki torch and mixed up some mai tais.
FLOR DE CANA: SLOW AGED ANEJO ORO RUM—$18 AND UP Holding dry, oaky and sweet undertones, each sip of Flor De Cana Anejo Oro was smooth, with a lingering warmth. We noticed this light rum had strong whiskey notes, derived from a four-year aging process in charred white oak barrels once used for storing bourbon. Our whiskey radar was spot on. Despite its similarities to bourbon, this Nicaraguan rum carries island-esque undertones of lime and sweetness, justifying the few extra bucks. Flor De Cana was an instant add to our shopping list not only for making mai tais: This rum, with its amber hue, tastes great on the rocks. It’s a must-have spirit.
MAITA’I ROA AE! Bartenders the world over have come up with their own versions of the mai tai, but our panel held to the classic recipe of one ounce each of dark and light rums. Keeping in tune with our “island merchant” melody, we chose Trader Joe’s orange and pineapple juices for our neo-mai tai, finding a modest one-half ounce of orange and onefourth ounce of pineapple plenty. Adding to its already robust tartness, we squeeze one ounce of fresh lime juice (about half of a lime) into the jigger. Though we subbed the orange juice for Cointreau (to be totally honest, we forgot to get some) but did have on hand a bottle of
Small Hand Food’s orgeat, an almondbased liqueur that tamed some of the drink’s acidity. Made from rose and orange flower water, orgeat is irreplaceable in the mai tai, as it rounds-out an otherwise too-citrus cocktail with delicate flavor. We weren’t partial to the milky appearance the orgeat gave the drink but agreed the rare find is essential to the overall flavor profile— we used about one-half ounce—and will be a welcome ingredient in other cocktail experiments. And though the color of our drink was atypical for the traditional mai tai we decided to leave the grenadine to Shirley Temples. By resisting a pinky tone courtesy of red dye no. 4, we dodged a maraschino sugar bomb. Shaken and poured over the rocks in a tumbler rather than a tiki mug, our final presentation achieved a “sandy shore” color— arguably more apt for a mini parasol and mint leaf garnish, in our opinion. Hands down, the mint leaves made the drink, hitting the nose right off the bat, carrying through each sip and lingering through the exhalation. Fresh leaves from the store work fine, but garden-grown mint is ideal. Our flowery, citrusy mai tai was dangerously delicious without sacrificing traditional tropical flair—perfect for a lazy August day. BOISE WEEKLY.COM
CITIZEN CASSANDRA BISSELL AND JUAN RIVERA LEBRON
ISF presents more than a dozen shows of Twelfth Night GEORGE PRENTICE
While triple-digit heat settles into the Treasure Valley for much of August, Christmas is about to come the Idaho Shakespeare Festival… sort of. William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night (the title refers of the 12th day of Christmas—remains a favorite more than four centuries after it was first unwrapped. Its themes of gender identity, accepting change and loving oneself feel contemporary as we follow the perils and passion of Viola, one of the most popular characters in the Bard’s canon. Prior to the Friday, Aug. 5 opening of Twelfth Night—which will feature 15 performances through Sunday, Aug. 28—we sat down with Cassandra Bissell (Viola) and Juan Rivera Lebron (Orsino) about their summer under the stars. How did your professional relationship with the company begin? Bissell: December 2013, I was just about to run out of unemployment. I had auditioned for Charlie Fee in the fall, and I actually got an offer to go somewhere else. I sent Charlie and email, and it turns out that he had already cast me as Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing for the next season. It turns out that everyone else knew except me. Somehow, I had been left off of the email list. Lebron: I was working at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in 2007. Charlie was in town and asked if I would audition. I said sure. I think it was three years later that I received an email with an offer for a role, but I couldn’t do it that year. The next year, I got another offer to join ISF for a production of The Imaginary Invalid.
I’m presuming you have to make that relationship work when you’re spending a considerable amount of time apart. Bissell: But we just came off of 10 months of working together. Our relationship is on solid enough ground so that we can make decisions based on each of our artistic fulfillments. Do you talk about marriage? Bissell: I’ve never been interested in being married. That said, you seem to be continually cast as women who have obvious tug-of-wars with love, commitment and usually end up married. Bissell: That’s very true. Over the past few years, I’ve heard more than a few audience members comment on your naturally curly hair. Quite honestly, it looks like an amazing theatrical wig. Bissell: It’s funny. I’ve had grown people comment on it more than kids. I was in a production of The Tempest once and as I was coming out of the theater after the show, a bunch of people said, “Wait, that’s your real hair?” I said, “Yeah, but you don’t need to pull on it.” I credit my hair with the success of my Shakespeare career. I used to hate it. I’ve grown to love it.
Where is home for you now? Bissell: My partner and I are gypsies. We have continually worked out of town. I’m doing Twelfth Night here and in Cleveland, and then I return to Idaho to perform with the Company in Fools in Sun Valley for the early part of 2017. Lebron: My wife is Christine Webber; she plays Olivia in Twelfth Night. We kept a home in Los Angeles for two years; we’re also gypsies now.
Can you speak to how Twelfth Night remains contemporary all these years later? Bissell: All the big issues are there: love, loss, rediscovering and even reinventing yourself. Lebron: For my character, who is a duke and of a very high status, it’s rare for him to let someone into his heart. He reveals the most intimate parts of his heart to Cesario, who is actually Viola in disguise. And when Viola, this beautiful woman, reveals herself, she already knows my soul. It’s a short leap from there to love.
What’s the upside of having two actors living under one roof? Bissell: Being comfortable enough to change ideas. My partner is Neil Brookshire, who has performed many times at ISF.
And Boise audiences… Bissell: Are awesome. This is how these Shakespeare comedies were written to be performed. And Boise audiences always want us to win.

DEAR L I saw her phone tonight after she was arrested. I see where she reached out to you. I have no idea why. You said that you had nothing to say. That’s hard for me to believe and even harder for me to take. That’s about all I have been able to hear for the past six months: your silence. Who ever thought that a lack of sound could be so loud, that it could drown out the rest of the world. I MISS YOU, STICKS But let’s face it, your mind is settled from the first glance and your heart is a shallow thing. I couldn’t get over my feelings, and you were honestly bad for me in a number of ways. Quitting you was the best thing I could have done. You were a good friend, but a lousy person.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Did you honestly imagine that there would eventually come a future when you’d have your loved ones fully “trained”? Did you fantasize that sooner or later you could get them under control, purged of their imperfections and telepathically responsive to your every mood? If so, now is a good time to face the fact that those longings will never be fulfilled. You finally have the equanimity to accept your loved ones exactly as they are. Uncoincidentally, this adjustment will make you smarter about how to stir up soulful joy in your intimate relationships.
to dismantle my prejudices. To my credit, I have even managed to cultivate compassion for people I previously demonized, like evangelical Christians, drunken jocks, arrogant gurus, and career politicians. But I must confess that there’s still one group toward which I’m bigoted: super-rich bankers. I wish I could extend to them at least a modicum of amiable impartiality. How about you, Aquarius? Do you harbor any hidebound biases that shrink your ability to see life as it truly is? Have you so thoroughly rationalized certain narrow-minded perspectives and judgmental preconceptions that your mind is permanently closed? If so, now is a favorable time to dissolve the barriers and stretch your imagination way beyond its previous limits.
FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): I apologize for the seemingly excessive abundance of good news I’m about to report. If you find it hard to believe, I won’t hold your skepticism against you. But I do want you to know every prediction is warranted by the astrological omens. 1. In the coming weeks, you could fall forever out of love with a wasteful obsession. 2. You might also start falling in love with a healthy obsession. 3. You can half-accidentally snag a blessing you have been halfafraid to want. 4. You could recall a catalytic truth whose absence has been causing you a problem ever since you forgot it. 5. You could reclaim the mojo that you squandered when you pushed yourself a few months ago. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): August is Adopt-a-Taurus month. It’s for all of your tribe, not just the orphans and exiles and disowned rebels. Even if you have exemplary parents, the astrological omens suggest you require additional support and guidance from elders. I urge you to be audacious in rounding up trustworthy guardians and benefactors, mentors and fairy godmothers. Ask for advice from heroes who are further along the path that you’d like to follow. You are ready to receive teachings and direction you weren’t receptive to before.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When a parasite or other irritant slips inside an oyster’s shell, the mollusk’s immune system besieges the intruder with successive layers of calcium carbonate. Eventually, a pearl may form. I suspect that this is a useful metaphor for you to contemplate in the coming days as you deal with the salt in your wound or the splinter in your skin. Before you jump to any conclusions, though, let me clarify. This is not a case of the platitude, “Whatever doesn’t kill you will make you stronger.” Keep in mind that the pearl is a symbol of beauty and value, not strength. CANCER (June 21-July 22): It’s your lucky day! Spiritual counsel comparable to what you’re reading here usually sells for $99.95. But because you’re showing signs that you’re primed to outwit bad habits, I’m offering it at no cost. I want to encourage you! Below are my ideas for what you should focus on. (But keep in mind that I don’t expect you to achieve absolute perfection.) 1. Wean yourself from indulging in self-pity and romanticized pessimism. 2. Withdraw from connections with people who harbor negative images of you. 3. Transcend low expectations wherever you see them in play. 4. Don’t give your precious life energy to demoralizing ideas and sour opinions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’re not doing a baby chick a favor by helping it hatch. For the sake of its well-being, the bird needs to peck its way out of the egg. It’s got to exert all of its vigor and willpower in starting its new life. That’s a good metaphor for you to meditate on. As you escape from your comfortable womb-jail and launch yourself toward inspiration, it’s best to rely as much as possible on your own instincts. Friendly people who would like to provide assistance may inadvertently cloud your access to your primal wisdom. Trust yourself deeply and wildly. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I hear you’re growing weary of wrestling with ghosts. Is that true? I hope so. The moment you give up the fruitless struggle, you’ll become eligible for a unique kind of freedom that you have not previously imagined. Here’s another rumor I’ve caught wind of: You’re getting bored with an old source of sadness that you’ve used to motivate yourself for a long time. I hope that’s true, too. As soon as you shed your allegiance to the sadness, you will awaken to a sparkling font of comfort you’ve been blind to. Here’s one more story I’ve picked up through the grapevine: You’re close to realizing that your attention to a mediocre treasure has diverted you from a more pleasurable treasure. Hallelujah!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Could it be true that the way out is the same as the way in? And that the so-called “wrong” answer is almost indistinguishable from the right answer? And that success, at least the kind of success that really matters, can only happen if you adopt an upside-down, inside-out perspective? In my opinion, the righteous answer to all these questions is “YESSS???!!!” -- at least for now. I suspect that the most helpful approach will never be as simple or as hard as you might be inclined to believe. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your strength seems to make some people uncomfortable. I don’t want that to become a problem for you. Maybe you could get away with toning down your potency at other times, but not now. It would be sinful to act as if you’re not as competent and committed to excellence as you are. But having said that, I also urge you to monitor your behavior for excess pride. Some of the resistance you face when you express your true glory may be due to the shadows cast by your true glory. You could be tempted to believe that your honorable intentions excuse secretive manipulations. So please work on wielding your clout with maximum compassion and responsibility.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may experience a divine visitation as you clean a toilet in the coming weeks. You might get a glimpse of a solution to a nagging problem while you’re petting a donkey or paying your bills or waiting in a long line at the bank. Catch my drift, Capricorn? I may or may not be speaking metaphorically here. You could meditate up a perfect storm as you devour a doughnut. While flying high over the earth in a dream, you might spy a treasure hidden in a pile of trash down below. If I were going to give your immediate future a mythic title, it might be “Finding the Sacred in the Midst of the Profane.” AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I’ve worked hard for many years
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Are you lingering at the crux of the crossroads, restless to move on but unsure of which direction will lead you to your sweet destiny? Are there too many theories swimming around in your brain, clogging up your intuition? Have you absorbed the opinions of so many “experts” that you’ve lost contact with your own core values? It’s time to change all that. You’re ready to quietly explode in a calm burst of practical lucidity. First steps: Tune out all the noise. Shed all the rationalizations. Purge all the worries. Ask yourself, “What is the path with heart?”

DEAR MINERVA, I love the restaurant where I work. Most of the time, I have great regular customers who come in. I have one regular customer, however, who never tips any of the servers. She always seems to enjoy her food, and I have seen her gesturing as though she’s relishing every bite. Whether she’s alone or with others, she has never once left a tip, and I am starting to resent it. What can I do? Sincerely, Tipped Off
DEAR TIPPED OFF, Ouch! It would be hard to be helpful and smile for this serial penny-pincher who loves the food but doesn’t tip for the service. Customary sit-down tip in our modern world is 15-20 percent, more if you had wildly good service, and I would think only less in extreme circumstances. Short of asking her if there was a problem with the service—I’d check with management before doing that—I am not sure you can approach it. Maybe she’s on a tight budget and only comes to dine when she has a little money to spare. While not ideal (she should work that 20 percent into her splurge), it could explain her noted relishing of the food and lack of tip. Even in 2016, some are unaware of tipping etiquette. This is hard to correct without confrontation. If asking is a no-go, then smile through it and hope your good-server karma will bring in someone who isn’t ignorant of proper tipping protocol to offset her faux pas.

During the so-called Kitchen Debate over American and Soviet consumer products in 1959, brash Russian Premier Nikita Khrushchev asked then-Vice President Richard Nixon if American capitalism had devised a machine that “puts food into the mouth and pushes it down.” Americans have been conditioned to consume mass quantities without mechanical aid, but that doesn’t mean gadgets have gone the way of Cold War paranoia.
