EDITOR’S NOTE BALLOTS, STREET PARTIES AND BOOZE If the prospect of getting this election season over with as soon as possible is appealing to you, you’re not alone. Why not discharge your civic responsibility early and wash your hands of the whole thing?

In this week’s edition of Boise Weekly, News Editor George Prentice profiles an innovative way to vote early in Ada County, as elections officials prepare to roll out a mobile polling station. The description from Ada County Chief Deputy Clerk Phil McGrane as “food truck voting” is an apt one. Housed in a long trailer with awnings and a counter, the polling place looks and acts much like a rolling diner.

Unveiled in part for convenience—with the mobile vote machine set to vend its democratic wares at high-traffic sites around the county—it was also conceived for security. With many polling places located at schools, the grim possibility of a shooting incident could disrupt elections. Sad but true, this new method of early voting protects both ballot casters and the integrity of the system. What’s more, taking a cue from natural disasters like Hurricane Sandy, which struck near Election Day 2012, the mobile early voting station enables officials to proceed with elections even if other vital infrastructure has been damaged.

Elsewhere in the paper, get your guide to September First Thursday events starting on Page 8. With the kids back in school and the days ticking down to the official end of summer, it’s a good reminder that the fun still hasn’t ended downtown.

Speaking of fun, it’s time again for BW’s monthly Boozehound column, in which we sample a selection of spirits and explore a cocktail recipe or two. This time around we delved into the surprising history of the Moscow Mule, mixing up a few with vodkas from as far away as Iceland and as near as our own backyard in Rigby, Idaho.

Cheers to the final weeks of summer, cheers to good vodka and three cheers for the countdown to Election 2016.

OPINION FROM THE FAR MARGINS Teachers

NICOLE LEFAVOUR In one-room school houses and giant high schools, in college classrooms and university labs, the people who teach America’s next generation have begun the school year and are into their second week of imparting wisdom to those who may inherit the earth.

Teachers—the people deciding whether to pass around a Maya Angelou poem or pull out a worksheet on adjectives—are going to work this week after long summers of second and third jobs that help their own families afford college or make the mortgage payments, not to mention those essential yet futile minimum payments on the student loans they took out decades ago.

Today, 12-year-old Sierra is showing up at school after sleeping in a van by the park, watching her dad shoot heroin while her mom is on the corner with a cardboard sign asking for money. Today, 6-year old Rosia will be called an alien by her classmates and a boy will tell her the new president will take her parents away. Today, 9-year-old Christopher will be beaten behind the temporary classrooms at the edge of the playground for wearing a pink bracelet he found on his way to school. He will tell no one, fearing his dad will use “the belt” on him if he finds out. At recess, 17-year-old Neema will carefully arrange to sit in her art classroom at lunch so the group of girls in first period who stared at her in her Hijab and whispered about her being a terrorist won’t find her. She’ll remember that it began that way in her country before the war, with people calling each other evil until the killing began. She doesn’t sleep most nights. She will miss first period tomorrow to avoid the girls and sit in the back of all her classes so no one can look at her.

In spare numbers among these children are teachers—humans whose classrooms see more than 160 students in a day. It is not a guarantee that they or anyone will notice. Lunch times and the hours after school are taken up with correcting and grading the collective academic work of 160 students, filling in for the support staff lost in the budget crisis; managing computer interfaces; learning software; reporting test scores and attendance; and even monitoring online classes.

Maybe you’ve never sat in the velvet and marble room where the state budget is voted on; where competing motions are voted up or down and millions of dollars materialize and vanish depending on which faction of which political party presents them. I have. I’ve made motions and sat there through the inevitable 4-16 vote that turned them and the teachers, counselors and reading programs they represent into dust.

For the four years I served on the Senate Education Committee I watched lobbyists for BOISE WEEKLY.COM

the education technology industry slowly siphon 10s of millions of dollars from our budgets. Free public education is justly the most major public service the state provides its citizens. As such, it’s long made up half the state’s annual budget. That much money draws industries with an eye for public dollars they can turn into profits.

For-profit education technology companies have proliferated. They pay skilled lobbyists in podunk statehouses to sell lawmakers the latest and greatest in math instruction, course content, simulated labs; student and parent online interfaces; grade, attendance and test score tracking; teacher performance monitoring; and more. All the school has given up are a few aides, their counselors, nurses, social workers, maybe a reading specialist and a teacher or two.

We struggle not to be a nation that produces so many mass murderers and homeless youth so full of pain, loneliness or self loathing that they become addicts or statistics in our unconscionably high incarceration rate. And, yes, perhaps parents are struggling with parenting. Perhaps the problem is compounded by our nation’s practice of paying working adults an hourly wage that equates to the price of a sandwich.

Parents aren’t home because they work multiple jobs just to earn a fraction of what their own parents earned in the day when companies were local and felt responsible for the well-being of the families they employed. We forget that, once, unions bargained for wages, salaries, pensions, health plans and working conditions—in all kinds of industries, including education, where they had more leverage to help teachers.

Today across Idaho, more than 30 teenagers at a time show up in rooms with a single adult at the helm. One person to manage 30 sets of traumas and tragedies—one person to sympathize and remind a child they were not the culminating factor during the divorce. One human to know which of the 30 have been cutting themselves, drinking, sending naked texts, getting pregnant, being molested by their stepfathers or selling pot.

One person is there for those hours every day to make sure no one dies or that one child’s crisis does not become a universal tragedy when a gun or a knife or explosive or poison is brought to class. One person stands at the front of the classroom, helps kids bond, nurtures their self esteem and their humanity so that they cry with each other and do not utterly despair while the world around them empties and burns.

Nicole LeFavour is a longtime educator and activist, and served in both the Idaho House of Representatives and Idaho State Senate.

‘FOOD TRUCK’ VOTING

Ilai Mizrachi-Gabbitas is remembered as “a tough little kid, wise beyond his years and witty.”

CHILDREN’S LIBRARY TO HONOR BOY LOST IN DROWNING TRAGEDY His parents called him “a miracle baby.” Ilai Mizrachi-Gabbitas was born Aug. 20, 2010 after his parents, Moshit and Chuck, sought help conceiving through in vitro fertilization. Ilai was one of 32 babies who could potentially come from the procedure, and the only embryo to survive. Even then, Ilai had to make it through four months frozen in the lab, then successfully emerge from a carefully calibrated process of thawing out. Moshit and Chuck named him Ilai after one of the Biblical “mighty warriors” who served as King David’s guards.

“And indeed our Ilai was a warrior,” his parents wrote on a website dedicated to him.

Ilai drowned in his family’s pool in East Boise on Aug. 9, fewer than two weeks from his sixth birthday. The circumstances surrounding his death have not been made public, though officials referred to the tragedy as accidental.

In remembrance of the boy they called “a tough little kid, wise beyond his years and witty,” Ilai’s parents are working to establish a children’s library at the Chabad Jewish Community Center of Idaho, where Ilai studied Hebrew.

Moshit and Chuck wrote that their son was an avid learner with deeply felt faith.

“He loved being a Jew, and he loved learning about Jewish values and traditions and talked about it often, teaching it to us and anyone that would listen,” they wrote. “He was our prized student. But he was also our teacher.”

As of Aug. 29, a funding goal of $50,000 had garnered $35,626. The fund drive is set to end Sept. 9, which, per Jewish custom, marks the end of shloshim, the 30-day mourning period following the funeral of a next of kin.

Writing on the library fund website, donors expressed their sorrow over Ilai’s death and shared reminiscences of an always-smiling child who was inquisitive and kind, beloved in his neighborhood by parents and kids alike.

Numerous entries also recollected instances when Ilai could be found helping out around his family’s North End bakery, Janjou Patisserie.

“I particularly enjoyed my trips to the bakery when Ilai was there helping out or playing,” wrote an anonymous donor. “The last time I saw Ilai, he was learning to ride a bike. I will miss watching that sweet, curly haired boy grow up.”

GEORGE PRENTICE

NEWS

Early voting trend grows, coming to a curb near you GEORGE PRENTICE Getting registered voters excited about this election year may be a fool’s errand with the names Clinton and Trump at the top of the ballot.

Nonetheless, Ada County’s rejuvenated efforts to get more people to the polls—and an innovative way to take the polls to the people—reach far beyond Tuesday, Nov. 8, or Election Day 2016, even though, at least for now, elections officials in Ada County are expecting a high voter turnout, particularly among those who want to cast ballots early.

“There’s every reason to believe that we’ll see a record number of early voters,” said Ada County Chief Deputy Clerk Phil McGrane, the man in charge of all things electoral for the county.

McGrane only needs to look back at 2012 and the last U.S. presidential election. Three weeks before Election Day 2012, 800 registered voters showed up at the Ada County Elections Office to cast an early ballot.

“That was the first day of 2012’s early voting. It continued to build every day. It peaked on the Friday before the election, when we saw 2,000 people cast an early ballot in one day,” said McGrane. “Ultimately, we saw just shy of 22,000 people vote early in that election. We had to adjust on-the-fly pretty quickly because we didn’t know what to expect.”

While voters were casting their ballots before Election Day, what they were doing in 2012 wasn’t technically what is considered “early voting” today. Those 2012 voters were requesting absentee ballots at the elections office, filling them out, stuffing them into an envelope and handing them to an elections worker. In essence, it was not much different from requesting an absentee ballot be mailed other than they were bypassing the U.S. mail system. Today, voters get a customized ballot printed at the early voting site, they fill it out and it gets scanned into the vote database right there.

In 2016, more than two-thirds of U.S. states will offer some sort of early voting, a jump from less than one-third of states in 2008 and 2012.

Ballots will be cast as early as Friday, Sept. 23 in some states, even before the first presidential debate occurs.

Idaho absentee ballot requests can be mailed to voters as early as September, but Idaho statute

Ada County Chief Deputy Clerk Phil McGrane gives the proposed designs for a mobile polling place the once -over. The mobile unit will appear at various spots across the county in the weeks leading to Election Day.

only allows in-person early voting three weeks prior to an election. Still, early voting in Ada County, particularly in presidential elections, is quite popular. In 2012, more than 27 percent of all Ada County ballots were cast early and, in 2008, when the presidency was an open election with no incumbent, a full 33 percent of Ada County voters cast ballots early.

“We’re hopeful that early voting will continue to grow here,” said McGrane. “Our neighbors in Oregon and Washington have adopted systems where all ballots are mailed in by voters and, while we hear from people all the time asking us to do the same, it’s quite clear from the Idaho Legislature that we’re not going in that direction. So instead, we’re focusing our efforts on early voting.”

This year, Ada County voters will have several options for casting early ballots. In addition to requesting an absentee ballot by mail, Ada County will operate early in-person voting, beginning Monday, Oct.17, at five locations: the Ada County Elections Office (400 N. Benjamin Lane), Boise City Hall (150 N. Capitol Blvd.), Meridian City Hall (33 E. Broadway Ave.) and the Eagle Senior Center (312 E. State St.)—but the last early voting option is the real game-changer.

“How should I describe this? We’re going to be ‘food truck voting.’ Picture a food truck, and that’s a pretty good idea of what you’ll experience at our new mobile voting unit,” said McGrane, with clear eagerness for rolling out the innovation, which was still being retrofitted as Boise Weekly went to print. “It’s our own design: a trailer with pop-up windows and awnings. Four election workers will be inside the mobile unit.

You’ll go up to the window, get your customized ballot printed out, vote and have your ballot scanned right there.”

McGrane said the public will be able to vote at

the mobile unit when it’s parked at a number of locations in the three weeks prior to Election Day. “We’re already talking to some of the area’s largest employers—Micron, St. Luke’s, Idaho Power—so that we can set up the mobile unit nearby to encourage more of their employees to vote,” he added. “One of the high-profile areas that we’re particularly excited about is the front of the Borah Post Office, right in the heart of downtown Boise—a very high foot-traffic area right in the shadow of the Idaho Statehouse.”

The idea of a mobile voting unit is not rooted in Ada County’s desire to encourage early voting.

In fact, it is the direct result of disaster planning.

“Quite frankly, we needed to be ready in case of tragedy,” said McGrane. “Think back to Hurricane Sandy in 2012, which hit just before Election Day. They had to shut down nearly half of the polling places in the New York area. I don’t know what would happen if we had to do that.”

But a different type of near-tragedy prompted Ada County to prepare for mobile voting sooner than later.

“It dates back to something that happened during Election Day 2013,” recalled McGrane.

On Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2013, Boise police were summoned to a house where a person with a loaded gun was threatening suicide. Because the house was near a Boise school, the district locked down the school as a precaution for about an hour. The school was an active Ada County polling place.

“By the time we got word of the police action, the matter was resolved. Miraculously, no one showed up to vote at that polling place in that hour’s time, but it begs the question: What would we have done? The number one thing we must never do is disenfranchise 7 someone’s right to vote,” said McGrane.

“So we started planning.”

A new solution to the Boise River’s phosphorous problem

According to officials, the monthslong Broadway Bridge redesign has a $20.2 million price tag.

A BRIDGE TO SOMEWHERE

HARRISON BERRY Near the confluence of the Snake and Boise rivers, the water runs dark brown, loaded with sediment and spiked with phosphorous. But after being sifted through a new treatment facility south of Notus, it courses almost clear past an observation deck where Idaho state and local leaders gathered Aug. 24 to christen the so-called Dixie Drain.

“What’s happening here is on the leading edge of environmental science,” said Idaho Department of Environmental Quality Director John Tippets.

The Dixie Drain is Treasure Valley cities’ answer to EPA guidelines that limit the Boise River’s phosphorous load.

The problem is severe. Untreated, the Boise River contains approximately 4,000 micrograms of phosphorus per liter—far higher than EPA limits, which say the river should contain no more than 70 micrograms of phosphorus per liter between the months of May and September.

Members of the press got their first look at how the Dixie Drain diverts the brackish water into the facility, deliberately slowing the stream’s flow and allowing it to deposit silt and other solids into the drain’s collection area. That’s where polyaluminum chloride is added to the mix, turning phosphorous into a flotsam that can be removed from the surface of the water before the

Boise Public Works engineer John Tensen on the Dixie Drain innovation, a first-of-its-kind project in the U.S.: “On a pound-for-pound basis, there’s just no comparison.”

Boise River returns to its normal course. Every year, the process is expected to remove up to 10 tons of phosphorous and 8,000 tons of silt.

“It’s not so hard to do something that makes things better,” said Boise Mayor Dave Bieter.

The Dixie Drain is the first phosphorous offset project of its kind in the United States.

“The EPA gave us flexibility to come up with an alternative,” said U.S. Rep. Mike Simpson.

“That’s what we expect the government to do.”

“The flexibility has generated something I believe could be a national model,” said U.S. Sen. Mike Crapo.

“This is a treasure for Idaho … and projects like this will bring [the Boise River] back,” said EPA Region 10 Administrator Dennis McLerran.

The facility is also poised to save money. EPA penalties for phosphorous-laden water are high and add up quickly. Boise Public Works Director Neal Oldemeyer stood before the Boise City

Now, three years and approximately $50,000 later, Ada County is ready to roll out its mobile polling place. It will be on standby 6 throughout this Election Day and every primary and general election henceforth. McGrane said Ada County will be ready, at a moment’s notice, to redirect voters to a secure, alternate location if a school or other public building is in lock-down. In the meantime, the public will gets its first taste of early/mobile voting on Monday, Oct. 17—along with other brick-and-mortar early polling places—through Friday, Nov. 4. An announcement of the list of locations for the mobile unit is expected in the coming weeks.

“Elections have become more expensive, beginning with the technology and staffing. So, we’re constantly trying to find out efficient ways to facilitate as many voters as possible,” said McGrane. “It’s in everyone’s interest to serve as many early voters as possible, so that we can avoid those long lines on Election Day and encourage a larger electorate.”

CIRCLING THE DIXIE DRAIN

NEWS

Council and members of the Ada County Commission in 2011 and told them in order to stay ahead of the curve, long-range improvements to the West Boise Wastewater Treatment Facility and Lander Street Wastewater Plant would have to be made, with projected costs running to as much as $92 million and $36 million, respectively.

By contrast, the Dixie Drain’s price tage was $21 million.

By building the drain on the Boise River between Notus and Parma, Boise can capture huge amounts of sediment and phosphorous that would otherwise be inaccessible to treatment facilities in the eastern end of the Treasure Valley.

According to Public Works engineer John Tensen, it removes 1.5 pounds of phosphorous from the river for every pound of phosphorous untreated at Boise’s water treatment plants.

“On a pound-for-pound basis, there’s just no comparison,” he said.

want to avoid those longer lines: Vote during the lunch hour.

“Our new voting equipment has given us some fascinating data that has totally shattered some of our previous assumptions,” said McGrane. “The bulk of voters show up after work, especially after 5 p.m. In fact, we didn’t know how great that scale was. It turns out that nearly 15 percent of all our registered voters show up between 5 and 6 p.m. “ The best hour to vote, at least in Ada County, is noon to 1 p.m.

“I never would have thought that was true, but our statistics are showing us that the lunch hour is when the least people vote,” said McGrane. “I guess a lot of people have been thinking that the polls were busy when, in fact, they weren’t.”

At whatever time voters head to the polls on Election Day, McGrane and his staff of nearly 1,400 workers will be prepared for record numbers.

“If you think of it, we’re the largest event-planning operation in the state of Idaho,” he said. “We have to facilitate 190,000 people. It’s a bit like wedding planning on a grand scale.”

When Boise State University swings open the gates of Albertsons Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 10, ushering in another college football season, Boise will once again see a city within a city. Nearly 37,000 people will be in attendance at the sold-out season opener to watch the Boise State Broncos play the Washington State Cougars. Imagine everyone in Lewiston, Post Falls, Rexburg or the combination of Eagle and Star inside Albertsons Stadium—its capacity surpasses each of those cities’ populations.

With so many people in confined quarters, public safety is a chief concern—but those people need to get to the stadium first.

Figuring out how is not a task for the fainthearted: The $20 million-plus renovation of the Broadway Bridge shut it down for the better part of 2016 and fans are still wondering how they’ll get to the stadium, only a touchdown-toss away from bridge.

Fear not, says the Idaho Transportation Department, insisting the bridge will be open

by Sept. 10, even though the project won’t be complete. While ITD officials have been elusive about whether the span would be open by kickoff, Boise State officials confirmed Aug. 29 they’d been told by transportation officials to plan on it.

“Everything we’ve been told is that the bridge will be open for game day,” Boise State Athletic Director Curt Apsey told the media Aug. 29. “I don’t know if it will be completely finished, but at least for a 24hour period, people will be able to drive or walk across the bridge. I know they’ve been working on it 24/7.”

When complete, the bridge redesign will include newly-paved ramps from the Boise Greenbelt to Broadway. Three new staircases will also link the pathway to the upper road.

ITD officials said the newly designed Broadway Bridge should accommodate the approximate 25,000 vehicles traveling Broadway each weekday. Add the thousands of pedestrians who hike to Albertsons Stadium on game day, and the reopening won’t come a moment too soon.

The Sept. 10 nationally-televised season opener is slated to kick off at 8:15 p.m.

Angie Smith’s photos of Boise refugees have garnered national attention.

ANGIE SMITH’S STRONGER SHINE THE LIGHT INSIDE Though she’s based in Los Angeles, photographer Angie Smith has a strong connection to Boise: When Boise Weekly spoke to her last year, Smith said her family’s deep Boise roots go back three generations. What drew Smith in during a visit to Boise five or six years ago, though, was not the city’s past: It was its new role as a haven for refugees.

“I was impressed by [the] growing diversity,” Smith said. “People from every corner of the world.

So, with help from a Kickstarter fund and a grant from the Boise Department of Arts and History, Smith began working on Stronger Shines the Light Inside: Illuminating the Refugee Experience in Idaho, documenting life in the City of Trees for people from Afghanistan, Burma, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Iraq and Syria, which has received national attention. See and celebrate the exhibition at the opening reception at the Linen Building (1402 W. Grove St.), which will feature local eats and entertainment, with food from Kibrom’s Ethiopian Restaurant and The Goodness Land, wine from Zhoo Zhoo and beer from Bittercreek, along with the poetry of Patrick Wangoi, dance by the Wawakali Group, music by Gloria Butinda and more. The reception begins at 7 p.m., a donation of $20 is suggested, and space is limited so reservations are definitely encouraged. Visit strongershinesthelightinside.com for more info.

Artist Judas Arrietas: For Basques, Boise is “an almost mythical place, a kind of Basque Atlantis that you need to visit before you die.’’

JUDAS ARRIETA’S WONDER STORIES Judas Arrieta’s paintings combine the counter-culture vibrancy of graffiti, stylized quirk of manga and subconscious influence of text in advertising (and propaganda) in a riot of colors and shapes so arresting, each viewing provides something fresh and exciting.

Born in the Basque Country, Arrieta always felt a connection with Asia—and a fascination for Boise. In a statement for his 2015 exhibition Boiseland at Ming Studios, Arrieta said, “For any self-respecting Basque, Boise, Idaho, is a place of history and encounter, an almost mythical place, a kind of Basque Atlantis that you need to visit before you die.’’

The international artist is yet again leaving his mark on this city of magic: As part of the inaugural artist-in-residency program at the Modern Hotel (1314 W. Grove St.), Arrietas painted a mural on the back wall of the building. Arrietas will officially unveil Wonder Stories on First Thursday and, to celebrate, the Modern is throwing a party with cocktails, pintxos, live music and a game of I-Spy with Arrietas.

The shindig starts at 6 p.m., and you don’t want to miss it or your story will be wondering why.

MUSIC GUIDE WEDNESDAY AUG. 31

AFROSONICS, AUG. 31 Boise audiences have experienced Afrosonics’ blend of South American, Caribbean, blues, rock and funk at Treefort Music Fest, World Refugee Day, Art in the Park, the Boise 150 celebration, Hyde Park Street Fair and who knows how many other events.

To call their sound “world music” is literally accurate—led by Dayo “Ariwo” Ayodele, of Nigeria, band members hail from as far as Congo Brazzaville and Surinam, and as near as California and Boise—but the label doesn’t quite do them justice. With such a robust blend of influences and styles, Afrosonics taps into a universal culture that transcends national borders or traditions.

Fitting, then, that the band should close out the 2016 Alive After Five series, which has brought together tens of thousands of revelers to mingle in a shared appreciation of music and community.

GREAT DANE, SEPT. 1, REEF Like the beast from which he took his moniker, Great Dane (nee Dane Morris) is more than meets the eye. The giant canines appear fierce but are, as a breed, gentle and playful. Great Dane, the 20-something L.A.-based EDM producer/DJ, crafts tracks rife with the heavy bass beats of hip-hop and trap, but weaves in emotive, harmonious vocals and instrumental lines—turning what could be a monotonous march into engaging, hypnotic music.

A member of L.A.’s “beat scene,” which Pitchfork called “a sprawling collective of musicians ... aiming to bridge connections between left-field electronic styles and underground rap,” Great Dane has toured with the likes of renowned beat-scene artists Daedelus, Flying Lotus, The Gaslamp Killer and Gramatik. He also nurtures Team Supreme, the popular 20-plus-strong beat collective he co-founded in 2012. The group delivers new beats via beatteamsupreme.com every week, when a Team Supreme producer pick two samples and a BPM which everyone uses to create a rhythm.

You’ll be beating yourself up if you don’t beat feet to this sweet show of national talent.

SCREEN LITTLE BIG MEN

Little Men explores life’s simple pleasures… and pains.

GEORGE PRENTICE Coming-of-age stories, particularly cinematic ones, are usually defined by youth’s simple pleasures. Unfortunately, life has its equal share of simple pains. Little Men, directed by Ira Sachs (Love Is Strange) is that rare movie with both. Small in size but ample in spirit, Little Men is an innocent remembrance that tempers pleasures and pains—not really big ones—with little mush or melodrama. In that delicate balance, Little Men has set itself apart from so many of the movies of the summer movies of 2016, which has turned out to be a forgettable season.

CITIZEN JENNIFER MARTINEZ

Congressional candidate and bride-to-be GEORGE PRENTICE Jennifer Martinez received a surprising email in early March from Sally Boynton Brown, executive director of the Idaho Democratic Party.

“She asked if I had ever thought about running for office,” said Martinez. “Honestly, I thought she was thinking about the Idaho Legislature. She said, ‘No, we want you to run against Congressman Mike Simpson.’”

A few days later, Martinez filed paperwork with the Idaho secretary of state’s office, indicating she would challenge the incumbent.

“He’s held that office for 18 years. That’s twothirds of my life,” said Martinez, 29.

Tell us about your personal backstory.

My parents came to Idaho in 1981 as undocumented workers, looking for farm work. By the time I was born, they had already qualified for permanent U.S. residence under President Reagan’s Immigration Reform Act of 1986. My dad taught himself English because he had to drop out of school in the fourth grade to work the fields.

You grew up in the Magic Valley?

Yes, in Wendell. I went to kindergarten all day while my parents worked the fields. I went to Gonzaga University with an eye toward law school. I was preparing for the LSAT exam this year when I was asked to run for Congress.

Can I assume your parents were thrilled to see your name on the ballot?

When I told them, they asked, “What are you doing? Excuse me?” When they voted for me during the May primary, they were overjoyed.

Are you holding down a job at the same time you’re campaigning?

I’m an administrative assistant for the Upper Snake River Tribes Foundation and a youth organizer for the Idaho Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence.

Do you have any paid staff?

No, I have a tremendous group of volunteers.

How about fundraising? What’s your goal?

I want to raise $100,000.

That’s a pretty modest amount. Shouldn’t a congressional campaign require closer to

24 c AUGUST 31 – SEPTEMBER 6, 2016 c BOISEweekly

$500,000?

I’m thinking that we’ll have a mailer and possibly some radio spots, but there isn’t any more for television. That’s pretty expensive.

What does your schedule look like?

There are definitely things you shouldn’t do, like go to McDonald’s at midnight or not get enough sleep. I always have to carve time out for the gym. Oh, and we’re planning a wedding.

Wait a minute... what?

My boyfriend proposed in April. He’s a family advocate for the Head Start program, an amazing guy. We’ve been together for seven years.

You’re getting married this year?

Oct. 15 in Wendell. We love the autumn.

Where is Mike Simpson politically vulnerable?

He doesn’t represent me on so many issues. He says he supports immigration reform but without a path to citizenship. Well, that creates a secondclass citizenship for a good many Idahoans. I’ve never heard him speak about equal pay for equal work. And my fiance is a Marine Corps veteran who fought in Iraq; he and a lot of his colleagues have gone through so much. I haven’t seen a lot of longtime Republican members of Congress introduce comprehensive measures to get veterans the care they need.

The political climate in 2016 is particularly caustic. Have you run into any of that on the campaign trail?

There’s a lot of ignorance and bigotry coming from Donald Trump. Mike Simpson has publicly said that he supports Trump, even though he may disagree with some of his policy stances. Putting your party before country is not OK. Are you advocating for Democratic Party control of the state?

We’re almost always better when we compromise. So many more people benefit. I’m not in favor of Idaho becoming an overwhelmingly blue state. I want a purple state where we work together more often. We’ve got to start advancing our economic and social situation while cutting back the hatred.

TWO MULES TO SIP AND SAVOR

J O S H UA RES N I C K

BOOZEHOUND

Take a ride with a pair of Moscow Mules Z ACH HAGADONE

Drinking out of desperation is never good policy but, sometimes, despair can serve as the mother of invention. Take the curious history of the Moscow Mule, an iconic cocktail of 2 oz. vodka, 4 oz. ginger beer and a wedge of lime served in a water-beaded copper mug.

On its origins, the histories are nearly unanimous: The Moscow Mule was an accident.

It started with an executive at G.F. Heublein & Brothers, an East Coast food and beverage company most famous up to that point for bringing A.1. steak sauce to the market.

Sometime in the late 1930s, John G. Martin acquired the Smirnoff vodka company for the sum of $14,000 and rolled it into Heublein’s holdings. What might seem like a good deal was actually a big problem: Americans were either completely unfamiliar with vodka or they hated it. Some joked “vodka” was Russia for “horrendous.”

In 1941, scratching his head over what do with his new acquisition, Martin paid a visit to his pal Jack Morgan, who owned the Britishthemed Cock ’n’ Bull pub on L.A.’s Sunset Strip.

As luck would have it, Morgan was in a jam of his own: He had been crafting ginger beer but, like Martin’s vodka, no one was drinking it. Thus, the basement of the Cock ’n’ Bull was piled high with disused crates of the stuff.

This is where accounts start to differ. Some claim Martin and Morgan came up with the idea to combine their respective unwanted products.

Others say it was the brainchild of Cock ’n’ Bull head bartender Wes Price. Even the signature copper mug is a mystery, making its way into the story as either the result of a Russian copper heiress trying to unload a grip of cups she couldn’t sell otherwise or through Morgan’s girlfriend, who owned a copper company and could provide the unusual vessels at a cut rate. Regardless, the tipple turned out to be greater than the sum of its parts. A star was born.

Dubbed “Moscow” for its association with Russia’s national spirit and “Mule” in reference to the kick of the ginger beer, its ascendance into the pantheon of mid-century mixology is one of the greatest marketing schemes in the BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Not necessarily from Russia, but with love nonetheless.

booze world. With a then-cutting edge Polaroid camera, Martin pounded the pavement in L.A., snapping photos of bartenders holding a bottle of Smirnoff in one hand and a copper-mugged Mule in the other. He left one photo with the ’tender and took the other to a competing bar to show off the next big thing. As early as 1942, Inside Hollywood reported, “There is a new drink that is a craze in the movie colony now. It is called ‘Moscow Mule.’” By the 1950s (House Un-American Activities Committee notwithstanding), it was one of the most popular drinks in the country. It had its own jingle, penned by “Killer” Joe Piro, and no less than Woody Allen signed on as a pitch man in the ’60s.

Sauce scholars tend to agree that despite its unlikely creation, the Moscow Mule introduced vodka to the American drinking public and launched the spirit, which would become the most-heavily consumed in the country—in 2015, Smirnoff was the top selling brand at eight of the 10 liquor stores in the Treasure Valley.

Boise Weekly mixed up a couple of Moscow Mules, however, we eschewed the familiar Smirnoff for two unique vodkas—one from Iceland, the other from Rigby, Idaho—and both ginger beer (Cock ’n’ Bull, $4.95 per four-pack) and ginger ale (Fever Tree, $2.45 per 500 ML bottle).

REYKA VODKA, $19.95 From the volcanic underbelly of the far North Atlantic comes this imminently quaffable smallbatch grain vodka crafted in Borganes, Iceland.

Produced with arctic water in a distillery powered by geothermal energy, Reyka goes down slightly sweet with none of the astringency (i.e. nail polish remover) that typifies many less refined vodkas.

Warming nicely with little to no burn, when

mixed with Cock ’n’ Bull, it highlights the complexities of the ginger flavor while taming some of its rougher edges. As one taster put it, “You could take a six pack of ginger beer and this vodka to any party, and it would be a hit.”

TETON GLACIER POTATO VODKA, $19.95 Where Reyka trades on its smooth character, Teton Glacier, hailing from Rigby, Idaho, plays a lot rougher. The characteristic “vodka smell” is pronounced but, in the mouth, Teton Glacier is much smoother. While its bark is worse than its bite, mixed with Cock ’n’ Bull, it presents a satisfying rounded, loamy flavor.

BOTTOM’S UP Well aware we were playing fast and loose with the Moscow Mule rules by sidestepping Smirnoff and introducing ginger ale, our experimentation yielded some interesting results. First, Reyka and Fever Tree ginger ale make a much better combo than Reyka and the far spicier Cock ’n’ Bull ginger beer, which tends to overpower the vodka’s delicacy. The thinner notes of the ginger ale allow the Icelandic entry’s signature sweet, smooth nature to shine through, making for a light and icy sipper. By contrast, Teton Glacier’s more aggressive profile and tuberous overtones punch at their weight with Cock ’n’ Bull’s spice. Mixed with ginger ale, Teton Glacier runs roughshod over its subtle sweetness, making for an uneven experience.

Both are worthy Moscow Mules, but be warned of the high sugar content in this cocktail: Cock ’n’ Bull boasts 40 grams of sugar per serving, while Fever Tree ginger ale clocks in at 17 grams per serving. Mishandled, you’ll be saying do svidaniya to whatever plans you had for the morning after.

DEAR FUTURE WIFE, Today was a very hard day. Particularly hard to handle. I left the office because I needed fresh air. I am not sure the walk made me feel any better. I was surrounded by people walking like robots. There were bodies without souls. They know the address they aim at, but a very few are aware of their destination, where life is taking them to, on a larger scheme. I was surrounded by people who are alienated from themselves, from their being and their feelings. I am not happy but I am hopeful. I am sad but joyful — for I know you will shine in my life one day like a beautiful hopeful dawn, awakening the birds in me to sing a beautiful melody. -Your future husband.

REDHEAD AT RED FEATHER I looked at you, you looked at me.

Then I looked at your feet then you looked at my feet, then you looked at my face and I looked at your lips and then you looked at my lips. So I looked at your feet and licked my lips... so you then smiled with a spark in your eye.

writing my next Leo horoscope.

In another dream, my Leo friend Erica suggested that I compose your horoscope while attending an orgy where all the participants were brilliant physicists, musicians, and poets. In a third dream, my old teacher Rudolf (also a Leo) said I should create the Leo horoscope as I sunbathed on a beach in Maui while being massaged by two sexy geniuses. Here’s how I interpret my dreams: In the coming days, you can literally increase your intelligence by indulging in luxurious comforts and sensory delights.

prepared for you. Nor do the Overlords of the New World Order, the Church of the SubGenius, the Fake God that masquerades as the Real God or the nagging little voice in the back of your head. So why am I going ahead and divulging this oracle anyway? Because I love you. My loyalty is to you, not those shadowy powers. Therefore, I am pleased to inform you that the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to evade, ignore, undermine or rebel against controlling influences that aren’t in alignment with your soul’s goals.

and leadership. Allies will feel fertilized by your creative vigor. You’ll stimulate team spirit with your savvy appeals to group solidarity.

If anyone can revive droopy procrastinators and demonstrate the catalytic power of gratitude, it’ll be you. Have you heard enough good news, Sagittarius, or can you absorb more? I expect that you’ll inspire interesting expressions of harmony that will replace contrived versions of togetherness.

And every blessing you bestow will expand your capacity for attracting favors you can really use.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Play a joke on your nervous anxiety. Leap off the ground or whirl in a circle five times as you shout, “I am made of love!” Learn the words and melody to a new song that lifts your mood whenever you sing it. Visualize yourself going on an adventure that will amplify your courage and surprise your heart.

Make a bold promise to yourself, and acquire an evocative object that will symbolize your intention to fulfill that promise. Ask yourself a soul-shaking question you haven’t been wise enough to investigate before now. Go to a wide-open space, spread your arms out in a greeting to the sky, and pray for a vision of your next big goal.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The dictionary says that the verb “to schmooze” means to chat with people in order to promote oneself or make a social connection that may prove to be advantageous. But that definition puts a selfish spin on an activity that can, at least sometimes, be carried out with artful integrity. Your assignment in the coming weeks is to perform this noble version of schmoozing. If you are offering a product or service that is beautiful or useful or both, I hope you will boost its presence and influence with the power of your good listening skills and smart conversations.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The fictional character known as Superman has one prominent vulnerability: the mineral kryptonite. When he’s near this stuff, it weakens his superpowers and may cause other problems. I think we all have our own versions of kryptonite, even if they’re metaphorical. For instance, my own superpowers tend to decline when I come into the presence of bad architecture, cheesy poetry, and off-pitch singing. How about you, Capricorn? What’s your version of kryptonite? Whatever it is, I’m happy to let you know that you are currently less susceptible to its debilitating influences than usual.

Why? Well, you have a sixth sense about how to avoid it. And even if it does draw near, you have in your repertoire some new tricks to keep it from sapping your strength.

YOGA

I would very much like to explore this spark if we ever meet again.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Truth decay is in its early stages. If you take action soon, you can prevent a full-scale decomposition. But be forewarned: Things could get messy, especially if you intervene with the relentless candor and clarity that will be required for medicinal purification. So what do you think? Are you up for the struggle? I understand if you’re not. I’ll forgive you if you simply flee. But if you decide to work your cagey magic, here are some tips. 1. Compile your evidence with rigor. 2. As much as is humanly possible, put aside rancor. Root your efforts in compassionate objectivity. 3. Even as you dig around in the unsightly facts, cherish the beautiful truths you’d like to replace them with.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Are you willing to lose at least some of your inhibitions? Are you curious to find out what it feels like to cavort like a wise wild child?

If you want to fully cooperate with life’s plans, you will need to consider those courses of action.

I am hoping that you’ll accept the dare, of course. I suspect you will thrive as you explore the pleasures of playful audacity and whimsical courage and effervescent experiments. So be blithe, Taurus! Be exuberant! Be open to the hypothesis that opening to jaunty and jovial possibilities is the single most intelligent thing you can do right now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): What’s the current status of your relationship with your feet? Have you been cultivating and cherishing your connection with the earth below you? The reason I ask, Gemini, is that right now it’s especially important for you to enjoy intimacy with gravity, roots, and foundations. Whatever leads you down and deeper will be a source of good fortune. Feeling grounded will provide you with an aptitude for practical magic. Consider the possibilities of going barefoot, getting a foot massage, or buying a new shoes that are both beautiful and comfortable.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): A woman in the final stages of giving birth may experience acute discomfort. But once her infant spills out into the world, her distress can transform into bliss. I don’t foresee quite so dramatic a shift for you, Cancerian. But the transition you undergo could have similar elements: from uncertainty to grace; from agitation to relief; from constriction to spaciousness.

To take maximum advantage of this blessing, don’t hold onto the state you’re leaving behind—or the feelings it aroused in you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In one of my dreams last night, a Leo sensualist I know advised me to take smart pills and eat an entire chocolate cheesecake before

28 c AUGUST 31 – SEPTEMBER 6, 2016 c BOISEweekly

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The Illuminati do not want you to receive the prophecy I have

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you are attuned with the cosmic rhythms in the coming weeks, you will be a source of teaching

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s quite possible you will receive seductive proposals in the coming weeks. You may also be invited to join your fortunes with potential collaborators who have almost fully awakened to your charms. I won’t be surprised if you receive requests to share your talents, offer your advice, or bestow your largesse. You’re a hot prospect, my dear. You’re an attractive candidate. You appear to be ripe for the plucking. How should you respond? My advice is to be flattered and gratified, but also discerning. Just because an inquiry is exciting doesn’t mean it’s good for you. Choose carefully.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Would you like to become a master of intimacy? Can you imagine yourself handling the challenges of togetherness with the skill of a great artist and the wisdom of a love genius? If that prospect appeals to you, now would be a favorable time to up your game.

Here’s a hot tip on how to proceed: You must cultivate two seemingly contradictory skills.

The first is the capacity to identify and nurture the best qualities in your beloved friend. The second is the ability to thrive on the fact that healthy relationships require you to periodically wrestle with each other’s ignorance and immaturity.

MINERVA’S BREAKDOWN

$GYLFH IRU WKRVH RQ WKH YHUJH

DEAR MINERVA, I can’t understand the rudeness of some people in this day and age. When I am out at a club or bar, it seems like every single time, someone cuts in line. They push their way to the front with total disregard for others. What is equally frustrating is that bartenders and other people waiting don’t say or do anything.

What can I do?

Sincerely, —Cut It Out

DEAR CUT IT OUT, This is one of my personal pet peeves as well so, believe me, I feel your pain. Most of us learned how to form lines in kindergarten and I certainly doubt anyone out there enjoys being cut in front of. I am one of those people who does call people out on this behavior. It is disrespectful of a person’s space and their time. It is one of the most selfish displays of rudeness, and we have a duty to ourselves and others to let the perpetrator know what they have done. I don’t normally resort to shame but, in this case, they need to be told. Remember: Just use your words. Be polite but firm.

Don’t touch them. I find others in line become more vocal and supportive because of it. If you are friendly with your bartender, let them know what has happened and give them a big tip. That’s an alliance you will always cherish. Together, we can become a better society.

NOTY was launched in 1983 on an undisclosed “Ivy League campus” with a mission “to discover, verify, nominate, elect and disseminate great names.”

Organized in bracket-style, with nominees progressing through a series of name-to-name contests until a winner is declared, NOTY features more than a little rumination on the nature of the entries and color commentary on the progression of the competition—all presented without malice.

Some highlights from past years’ winners include: Godfrey Sithole (1985), Doby Chrotchtangle (’91), Tokyo Sexwale (2001), Vanilla Dong (’07) and Idaho’s own Amanda Miranda Panda (’15).

Meanwhile, in May, Pope McCorkle III bested Sweet Orefice, snagging 2016 Name of the Year honors. nameoftheyear.com Called the “Best March Madness Time Waster” by ESPN and “One of the greatest websites in the world” by the Washington Post, between entries like Taco B.M.
