EDITOR’S NOTE FROM KRATOM TO A CONGRESSIONAL RACE If you’re not hip to kratom, don’t feel too tragically uncool. Though the crushed leaves of the kratom tree in Southeast Asia have been used for centuries to treat pain, insomnia and depression, the substance hasn’t been top-of-mind for most Americans. That has started to change, however, with the recent announcement by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration that kratom is set to join LSD, marijuana, ecstasy and heroin on the list of Schedule I controlled substances. The DEA’s decision has sparked a wave of opposition from hundreds of thousands of kratom users who have taken the leaves (either in powder, pill, tea or tincture form) to overcome a host of maladies—including opiate addiction. The latter use is the reason for the ban, and it’s freighted with irony. Kratom’s effectiveness comes from a pair of alkaloids in the plant that, when ingested, trigger the same parts of the brain that respond to opioids. That’s not entirely unusual. Dark chocolate has also been shown to activate similar receptors in the brain. The opioid effect has long been recognized—not by Western medical authorities, of course—as useful for heroin addicts to wean themselves off the drug. So much so that Thailand banned it in the late 1940s because too many opiate addicts were kicking the habit and it was cutting into the government’s opium tax revenue. Nonetheless, the feds say kratom presents an “imminent hazard to public safety” and are moving with a quickness to take it out of the hands of users. According to the DEA, the Schedule I listing is set to take effect Friday, Sept. 30. We spoke to a number of local kratom users and retailers, as well as law enforcement and addiction recovery experts, about the potential outcomes of a kratom ban. Find out what they had to say on Page 6. Elsewhere in this edition of Boise Weekly, we check in with Magic Sword on Page 17; rank the top films from the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival on Page 19; and, on Page 20, have a chat with Boise lawyer James Piotrowski, who is challenging Raul Labrador for his seat in the U.S. Congress. —Zach Hagadone

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“
I’M BASICALLY A PRISONER OF MY OWN APARTMENT.” —Cassandra Moonflower, via Facebook.
MAIL THE BEST DE-FENCE Dear Editor, After nearly half a century in Boise—often (unavoidably) aware of our sometimes minor and other times rancorous disputes ’twixt County and City, and almost always feeling City is in the right and County is in the wrong—I am surprised to find myself wholly in the Ada County Highway District’s corner anent The Fence. It is a brilliant solution; it is handsome, and it is aesthetically appropriate to the Boulevard as the main approach to the Capitol and to the history reflected in other “appurtenances” to the Boulevard (Boise Art Museum, Julia Davis Park, Idaho Historical Museum, The Cabin and so on). That some people will “cheat” and jawalk anyhow (as two young men were filmed doing) is as inevitable as people jaywalking between traffic signals; but adding more of the latter in however many places will do no more to solve that problem than does The Fence. I submit that traffic signals, with their messages of Stop! Go! Wait! Hurry! You Have Five Seconds to Live, Now Four, Now Three…, are highly stressinducing, whereas The Fence sends a gentle, friendly, nonstress-inducing message. Best of all, The Fence does not further visually CLUTTER the view down Capitol Boulevard, along and across which
there are already far too many light poles, overhanging traffic signals, and multi-colored and often blinking lights. This is not only becoming visually confusing to motorists but is also UGLY. The last thing the Boulevard needs is more (and more and more) of the same. ACHD: I salute you! City: Back off! —Melissa Dodworth, Boise
SUB PAR SUBHEAD As an admirer of Boise Weekly, I was disappointed by the subheading chosen for the profile of Jennifer Martinez (Citizen, Aug. 31): “Congressional candidate and bride-to-be.” Research shows that media coverage more often highlights the relationship status of female candidates than of their male counterparts, thereby contributing to the trivialization of female public figures. I would be interested to learn if you plan to feature in this same way the status of male candidates or of candidates who are single or are in relationships that lack a legal designation. I have a feeling you do not. We need more women like Martinez who are willing to stand up for what they find important and to run for office, so it is disheartening when a candidate’s engagement is deemed more important or interesting than her experience, her position on

A MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE? On Nov. 8, a majority of Idaho voters will go to the polls and vote to end the Republic. By casting their votes for Donald Trump they will be stating their opposition to the American ideal. Trump has been called a narcissistic sociopath. That’s putting it mildly. Ivana Trump, Trump’s first wife, said Trump kept a copy of Hitler’s speeches by his bed and regularly read them. That would explain the eerie parallels between Trump’s vicious attack campaign and Hitler’s. Hitler and Trump appeal to the same kind of angry white conservatives, those who hate immigrants, minorities, nonProtestants, gays and women. Donald Trump, Jr. stated in 2008 that the Trump businesses were heavily supported with money from Russia. Could this explain Trump’s bromance with Putin? Trump must release all of his tax data so we can see how much Russian (and Chinese) money he has. What if Trump is Putin’s “Manchurian candidate” to divide and conquer America? Sadly, Republican leaders failed to do “extreme vetting” of their presidential candidates before they selected a fifth columnist like Donald Trump. Since Republican leaders have failed, it is up to us, the American people, to save America by voting against Fuhrer Trump. —Gary L. Bennett, Emmett

NEWS KRATOM CRACKDOWN
Idaho’s obscenity law got it into trouble last year after a challenge from the Village Cinema.
STATE SUED (AGAIN) OVER BOOZE AND OBSCENITY LAW In March, the Visual Arts Collective staged a steamy performance of the Frankly Frankie burlesque show. Little did VAC owner Samuel Stimpert know, two Idaho State Police Alcohol Beverage Control officers were in attendance. “They observed what they perceived as violations of 23-614,” Stimpert said, referring to a Gem State statute that has joined its obscenity laws with beer, wine and spirits licenses. “They threatened to revoke our license.” VAC has agreed to pay an $8,000 fine and observe a 20-day suspension of its liquor license—but that won’t be the end of it. The American Civil Liberties Union of Idaho; Ferguson Durham, PLLC; and Van Valkenburg Law, PLLC filed suit Sept. 15 against ISP on behalf of VAC, Alley Repertory Theater and Anne McDonald, aka Frankly Frankie. “We have a law that is antiquated,” said ACLU-Idaho Legal Director Richard Eppink. “The harm [of the law] is, we can’t have a vibrant culture.” The suit aims to strike down the same law used by ABC against cinemas serving alcohol while screening films that feature nudity or sexual content. One high-profile instance of the law’s chilling effect on movie houses came in 2013, when The Flicks wouldn’t show critically acclaimed yet racy Blue Is the Warmest Color for fear of running afoul of the statute. Another instance occurred in 2015, when the Village Cinema in Meridian got hit for screening Fifty Shades of Grey while serving booze. Village Cinema pushed back with a lawsuit, and this past spring the Idaho Legislature voted to grant theaters permission to serve booze along with adult-themed films. The challenge filed Sept. 15 seeks an immediate injunction to halt enforcement of the law in time for Alley Rep’s preview performance of The Totalitarians, which the theater company plans to present at VAC on Thursday, Oct. 13— preferably with the bar in operation. Stimpert said VAC is a significant venue for artists in the Treasure Valley, but it’s only viable if he’s able to serve alcohol. “This is a large space—expensive to keep open. We tried to survive without [a liquor license] and weren’t able to,” he said. “We just want to keep being a cultural center.” —Harrison Berry 6 c SEPTEMBER 21–27, 2016 c BOISEweekly
Soon to be listed Schedule I, some fear the kratom ban will fuel opioid abuse Z ACH HAGADONE The Lucky Kwik Stop looks like any other convenience store. Tucked in amid the low-slung buildings in the Linda Vista Plaza at the corner of Liberty Street and Fairview Avenue, customers pop into the shop for smokes, a cold drink or any of the other sundry items like lighters, vape products and novelties that fill its shelves. In a glass case fronting the cigarettes are rows of packages, tea bags and tincture bottles containing a substance the Drug Enforcement Administration will soon list as Schedule I—alongside LSD, marijuana, ecstasy and heroin. For Marcus Zimmerman, who manages the Kwik Stop with his mother, the impending listing of kratom, set for Friday, Sept. 30, is bad news. “It’s really the only thing that keeps us open at the moment, so it will definitely impact us,” he said. “It takes up most of our business, that’s what our business works around.” That’s no exaggeration: Zimmerman estimated sales of kratom, whether in powder, pill, liquid or tea form, account for 90 percent of the store’s income. On its website, the shop boasts the largest kratom selection in the Treasure Valley. “Everything else is snacks, nicknacks or drinks,” he said. Kratom is a tropical tree indigenous to Southeast Asia and known to science as Mitragyna speciosa. Its leaves are crushed and dehydrated for dissolution in juices or teas, packed into capsules, rendered into liquids or gums, and—in unadvised instances—smoked for its alternately sedative and stimulant effects. Use of kratom (pronounced kray-DUM) has been documented in Thailand and surrounding countries for centuries. The herb also goes by the names biak, kakuam, ketum, thang and thorn. At low doses, kratom produces a buzz likened to caffeine—the plant is related to the coffee tree—while higher doses yield a sedative effect that provides pain relief, euphoria and drowsiness. It has been used to fight fatigue, depression, insomnia, even opioid addiction. The secret to its popularity lies with a pair of alkaloids that affect areas of the brain that also respond to opioids—specifically, mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine, which the Journal of the American Chemical Society described in a May 2016 paper as representing “a novel framework ... which may exhibit improved therapeutic profiles.”
LeRoy Cheyney, who co-owns WellBeing Holistic Health Co-Op and works evenings at the Lucky Kwikstop, said kratom’s popularity “blew up” once opioid addicts discovered it could help them kick the habit.
In other words, kratom acts like an opioid but isn’t an opioid, and shows some potential for being useful in treating opioid withdrawal. Still, the DEA has declared it an “imminent hazard to the public safety,” requiring a two-year emergency Schedule I listing that would expire unless the administration takes action to the contrary. The announcement, which was delivered in a letter of intent dated Aug. 25, has left both users and distributors reeling and, to no small degree, befuddled. “I was given notice two months ago that kratom was going to be looked at in five years. Then I get this one-month notice that it’s going to be scheduled,” said LeRoy Cheyney, a traditional Native American healer and owner of the WellBeing Holistic Health Co-Op, located in the same plaza as Lucky Kwik Stop. “This totally blindsided me.” Cheyney, who personally uses kratom to alleviate insomnia, works at the Kwik Stop in the evenings to consult with customers interested in trying the herb to lessen pain, fight depression or, like him, get a good night’s sleep. Sometimes, he’ll refer them to his suite of practices down the sidewalk, which run the gamut from hypnotherapy and massage, to reiki, sound and psychic healing, cupping, nutrition and meditation. Noting its opioid-like effects, Cheyney underscored kratom’s use as a way for addicts of heroin or prescription pills to wean themselves without resorting to methadone or similar drugs. “As individuals realized they could get themselves off opiates, it blew up,” he said. Zimmerman agreed that kratom has experienced a surge in popularity—particularly over the past year, as rumors of the ban began circulating among the many websites and online groups that
share information and testimonials about kratom. “Just the other day this older veteran gentleman came in and he just found out about it because of the ban,” Zimmerman said. “He was only able to sleep two hours a night because of his back pain. He’s been taking kratom for about a week now and he’s had perfect sleep every single night because of it. A lot of our customers have admitted to being heroin addicts before. A lot of kids, like 20- to 21-year-olds that have already had back injuries, they need it because they don’t want to be stuck on oxy. It’s helped so many people, all of our customers, every single one of them.” The DEA begs to differ that kratom is a panacea. In its 2015 “Drugs of Abuse” listing, kratom is described as potentially leading to “psychotic symptoms and psychological addiction” including “hallucinations, delusions and confusion” as well as “nausea, itching, sweating, dry mouth, constipation, increased urination and loss of appetite.” “There is no legitimate medical use for kratom in the United States,” the administration wrote. More dire, the August letter of intent referenced 15 deaths said to have occurred in the U.S. related to kratom exposure from 2014-2016, as well as a rash of deaths in Sweden between 2009 and 2010 after users took “Krypton” kratom. Kratom advocates push back at those statistics. First, none of the reported 15 deaths could be attributed to kratom alone, with nearly 65 percent of all poison control calls related to kratom including use of the substance with other drugs like alcohol, acetaminophen, benzodiazepines and narcotics of varying type. As for the deaths in Sweden, “Krypton” might go 7 under the kratom moniker, but its association with the herb ends at the name. BOISE WEEKLY.COM
NEWS According to kratomonline.org, “Krypton” is actually a blend of caffeine and O-desmethyltramadol, a synthetic opioid. Taking 0.5 grams of Krypton is said to be the equivalent of 60 grams of morphine. A 2011 report in the Journal of Analytical Toxicology similarly concluded Krypton was heavily spiked with O-desmethyltramadol. “This is an instantly, dangerously addictive substance,” the kratomonline.org warning stated. “[D]isingenuous marketers have tried to pull a fast one on the public by using the kratom name on a product that is not kratom.” Members of the message board bluelight.org who used Krypton reported terrifying results. “This so-called Kratom, I feel, has much more potential for addiction than smack,” wrote one user who admitted to have been ingesting the drug continuously for 20 hours. “This shit is one way to get Kratom banned outright.” That the DEA would use 15 deaths over a two-year period, as well as the dubious kratom connection in the Swedish overdoses, to justify its emergency listing doesn’t smell right to Dan Landis, a Boise private investigator who has been using kratom to treat his back pain for three years (though he had to overcome an initial skepticism about kratom as “voodoo medicine”). What’s worse, he said, is the speed with which the feds are moving—announcing in their letter of intent that because DEA was taking the action as a “temporary scheduling,” it would not be considered a “rule” as defined by U.S. code and therefore not subject to public comment: “[T]he Administrator finds that there is good cause to forgo the notice and comment requirements ... as any further delays in the process ... would be impracticable and contrary to the public interest in view of the manifest urgency to avoid an imminent hazard to the public safety.” “It sounds suspect, doesn’t it?” Landis said. “It has been abrupt. If you start probing, you’ll find that a lot of the lobbyists have gone and spoken to the politicians and said this is a problem. ... There’s a lot of money involved with this—law enforcement, the pharmaceuticals, the insurance companies. Everybody’s pockets can be lined by banning this substance. It’s really all about financial gain for the pharmaceutical industries.” Researchers at the University of Massachusetts did file a patent application in 2010 for a kratom extract to treat opioid withdrawal, and the DEA’s letter of intent referenced 660 calls to the National Poison Data System related to kratom from January 2010 through December 2015. According to the Centers for Disease Control, more than 14,000 people died from overdoses involving prescription opioids in 2014 alone. “I would like to see individuals get off of OxyContin, get off of Percocet, and start to go toward this particular substance, which has zero side effects and is just as effective,” said Landis, who recently assisted the American Kratom Associa6

tion with data investigation that helped stymie a ban in Georgia. “Fifteen deaths in two years, they say, related to kratom? That’s a little ridiculous to go out and put an emergency ban in effect.” The DEA reported the equivalent of more than 12 million doses of kratom were either seized or are being held pending an admissibility ruling from the Food and Drug Administration between February 2014 and July 2016, and anecdotal evidence suggests it is growing in popularity nationwide. If it constitutes a public health emergency, it hasn’t made much of a mark on Boise. “We haven’t heard that much about it from our patient base,” said Brant Massman, who co-founded the national Center for Behavioral Health in 1983, specializing in the treatment of opioid addiction. The company operates Idaho Behavioral Health with offices in Boise, Caldwell and Mountain Home.
“There’s no known medical use for kratom, and there’s been no formal trials to study the efficacy or safety of kratom to treat opioid addiction or opioid withdrawal. So, we obviously don’t recognize it as a withdrawal symptom reliever,” he said. “We just haven’t heard much about it.” Boise Police Officer Casey Hancuff, who works as a drug recognition expert, agreed that kratom doesn’t cut much of a profile among the other narcotics the department deals with. When it has come to the attention of police, it’s usually in conjunction with another substance. “Any drug that has the potential for abuse, which kratom does, eventually gets on our radar through impaired driving or just people overdosing,” he said, describing that early stages of excessive kratom use will present with heart palpitations, while later stages involve trouble staying conscious and low blood pressure.
“The biggest problem I know with kratom is when it’s mixed with other drugs,” Hancuff added. “Some over-the-counter drugs and prescription drugs do not interact [well] at all with kratom. That’s where the deaths have come from.” True opioids are what keep Boise law enforcement officers up at night. Noting Sept. 19-23 is National Heroin and Opioid Awareness Week, U.S. Attorney for the District of Idaho Wendy Olson issued a news release pointing out Idaho ranks fourth in the nation for non-medical prescription painkiller use among individuals over the age of 12. The U.S., meanwhile, accounts for nearly 100 percent of the world demand for hydrocodone and 81 percent for oxycodone. “As I meet with law enforcement ... around the state, I hear what they see: an increase in heroin use, abuse and availability,” Olson wrote. “Prescription painkillers are simply synthetic heroin.” Stacked up against the opioid epidemic, Hancuff said kratom amounts to pretty small potatoes. “[Kratom] is obviously present in Boise, but it’s not one of the biggest problems we see here in town,” he said. “Our biggest problem right now is in the opiate world. And if you think about imminent problems with health, that’s a big deal.” Assuming the Sept. 30 kratom ban goes into effect—though a whitehouse.gov petition to stall the Schedule I listing has received nearly 132,000 signatures of the 100,000 needed—Boise police will begin treating the herb as they would marijuana. Possession of small amounts would be a misdemeanor. Larger quantities could add up to the level of delivery or trafficking, which would rise to potential federal charges. Zimmerman said he’s worried about post-ban enforcement—whether his store and others like it could be raided. To avoid that possibility, he said Lucky Kwik Stop is liquidating its supply by Sunday, Sept. 25. “I’m worried that they’ll take this out of proportion,” Zimmerman said. “We will be doing what the law says; we’re not going to try to push this. We’ll be getting rid of it before the deadline.” According to Hancuff, Zimmerman and other kratom retailers probably don’t have to worry about such high-handed tactics. “I don’t see them sending out a bunch of undercover officers to go put stings on smoke shops,” he said. “It’s possible, but I think we have bigger fish to fry, honestly.” Ironically, the kratom ban may serve to make those fish even bigger. Hancuff said kratom users trying to fight opioid addiction will face a stark choice following the Schedule I listing. “They’re going to have to find more kratom or jump to heroin, and that’s going to be the problem,” he said. “It’s going to push people into opiates. It’s frightening. I think there will be a downside, I truly do.” Landis also fears the ban will backfire. “People will turn to hard opiates and heroin if they can’t get kratom,” he said.

ENERGIZE BOISE CELEBRATION
BOISE FILM FESTIVAL
B’ARC N BREW CRAFT BEER FESTIVAL
In 2014, Boise leaders kicked off a new program to improve the city neighborhood by neighborhood—beginning with a slate of projects in the Vista Avenue area. Two years later, the Energize Boise effort is showcasing a range of new projects being led by residents across the city. If you’re inspired to get on the Energize bandwagon, the event will also walk attendees through ways they can use the new Neighborhood Toolbox developed by the Energize Our Neighborhoods team. Continuing in the spirit of civic pride, Boise Mayor Dave Bieter will present the Good Neighbor Awards, bestowed on residents nominated by their neighbors for going out of their way to make life a little better in the City of Trees. 5:30 p.m., FREE. Boise City Hall, 150 N. Capitol Blvd. Energizeourneighborhoods.org.
The second annual BFF kicks off Friday, Sept. 23, with a host of features, short films panels and special events. “I’m so excited about the panels on women in film, film in Idaho and screenwriting,” said Melinda Quick, director of marketing. “Also we’re so excited to bring Oh, Beautiful to this year’s festival.” The short documentary by artist Natalie Fletcher is about her travels through the United States, painting bodies along the way. Fletcher will not only be in attendance for the festival but will present a live art performance in Freak Alley, as well. Most BFF screenings will be at the Boise State University Special Events Center—although a few will be at Studio 208, with an opening night mixer at Amsterdam Lounge and an awards ceremony at Payette Brewing—making it a little easier to binge watch. Get the full schedule at boisefilmfestival.org. Friday, 6:30 p.m.-Sunday, 6 p.m.; $5-$95, Boise State SPEC, 1700 University Drive, boisefilmfestival.org.
Drinking with your dog used to be a feature of sad-bastard country songs. That was before the craft beer movement came along with its inviting taprooms and dog-friendly policies. Make plans to hit the B’Arc n Brew Craft Beer Festival with your best furry friend and take part in southwest Idaho’s biggest dog-friendly craft brew fest. There, you’ll find offerings from more than a half-dozen local and regional craft breweries; vendors; a dog parade and costume contest; and music from The Oliphants, Critter Soup, Deviant Kin, Steep Creek, Andrew Sheppard Band and Like a Rocket. For the price of admission you’ll get a tasting mug and eight tickets. Proceeds benefit employment opportunities for people with disabilities at The Arc Idaho. Noon-7 p.m., $15.

BOISE STATE UNIVERSITY DISTINGUISHED LECTURE SERIES: DAVID BROOKS In 2003, David Brooks succeeded William Safire as the conservative columnist at The New York Times bringing a right-leaning voice in the pages of the Gray Lady of journalism. Since then, he has meditated on American domestic and foreign policy, lauded and derided President Barack Obama, and taken heat from just about everyone. Like a good messenger, he’s frequently the target of criticism, though rarely an easy one. Brooks will speak Tuesday, Sept. 27 at the Morrison Center as part of Boise State University’s Distinguished Lecture Series. His topic will be “character and the common good”—a riff off his 2015 nonfiction work, The Road to Character, in which Brooks outlined his thoughts on humility, perseverance and other “eulogy virtues.” The lecture is free to attend. 7 p.m. FREE.

CYNDI LAUPER, TEARS FOR FEARS; SEPT. 21-22; OUTLAW FIELD It’s hard to believe Cyndi Lauper, the most fun-havingest girl of the late-20th century, turned 63 in June. Age ain’t nuthin’ but a number, of course, and Lauper still has the pop-rock chops of that neon-haired sensation whose 1983 hit “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” spawned a 1985 film starring Sarah Jessica Parker and served as an anthem for the decade. When Lauper comes to Outlaw Field in Boise on Wednesday, Sept. 21 she’ll bring with her new country tunes and blues legend Charlie Musselwhite as a special guest. If you still wanna have fun and aren’t ready to leave the ’80s behind, catch British new wave, synthpop duo Tears for Fears as Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith showcase material from their forthcoming album, set for release in 2017. That’s right, 36 years and they’re still cutting records. Tears for Fears will take the Outlaw Field stage Thursday, Sept. 22 after a rescheduled date in the City of Trees. Tickets from the earlier, canceled show will be honored. —Zach Hagadone Cyndi Lauper: Wednesday, Sept. 21; 7 p.m; $38.50-$43.50.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM
Cannes has the Palme d’Or, Venice has the Golden Lion and Sundance has its Grand Jury Prize. In Toronto, it’s up to audiences. While critics and industry pundits flood the Canadian city each year to screen nearly 400 films, so do paying audiences—and they’re the ones who vote for which Toronto International Film Festival movies receive accolades. This year, TIFF audiences chose La La Land for the People’s Choice Award. TIFF audiences have a pretty good batting average, granting the People’s Choice to 12 Years a Slave, The King’s Speech and Slumdog Millionaire, which all took home Best Picture Oscars, as well. La La Land, starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, is spectacular. I saw it twice: once
The Birth of a Nation, Denial, The Edge of Seventeen, Lady Macbeth, The Limehouse Golem, Maudie, Raw, The Secret Scripture, Sing, Their Finest, Toni Erdmann, Una, A United Kingdom
Amanda Knox, American Pastoral, Barry, The Bleeder, Deepwater Horizon, Elle, Free Fire, The Journey, LBJ, The Magnificent Seven, Personal Shopper, A Quiet Passion, Rats

CITIZEN JAMES PIOTROWSKI Public lands, veterans and trying to unseat an incumbent GEORGE PRENTICE James Piotrowski understands the upset he’ll have to achieve to unseat Raul Labrador, the GOP congressman seeking a third term in the U.S. House of Representatives. However, Piotrowski also believes the timing couldn’t be better for a change. Labrador turned down our request for an interview to discuss the issues before voters this November, but Piotrowski, a 49-year-old Boise attorney who argued on behalf of developmentally delayed adults before the U.S. Supreme Court in 2014, was happy to sit down and stake his claim as a more moderate voice in Idaho’s congressional delegation.
have gotten a lot more attention than it did. And then there’s the proposal to transfer public lands to the state—that’s a Tea Party issue. Labrador claims it was brought to him by county commissioners; I promise you, the issue was not brought to him by the voters of Idaho. Then there was Labrador’s vote against the Secure Rural Schools Act [2015’s SB 517]. He was the only Idaho congressman to vote against it. Congressman [Mike] Simpson worked hard on that bill and for Labrador to vote against it was not in line with voters.
Can I assume for an Idaho congressional campaign that includes television advertising, you’re going to need $300,000 to Have you always been a Democrat? $500,000? Always. The most important political issue Our target is to come within that range. I did of our age is the advancement of an individual’s some digging, looking at previous election cycles civil rights.

But we’re seeing some of that demographic Are you advocating Idaho’s congressional delegation not be politically red or blue but favoring a Democratic candidate. We’re going to try to make that work for us. purple? I chose this race very carefully. It’s because Was there a particular event or series of Raul Labrador is the member of our congresevents that drove your decision to run for sional delegation that desperately needs to be office?

Raul Labrador is the only member of the U.S. politics as usual, but a genuine threat to what makes Idaho so special.

BEERGUZZLER BELGIAN BLITZ If you can’t find a Belgian beer you like, then you don’t like beer. They run the gamut from light blonde ales to heavy tripels and everything in between. Here, for your consideration, are three distinct Belgian style ales: a witbier from Belgium’s De Brabandere, a saison from Chicago’s Goose Island and a strong dark ale from California’s Heretic Brewing. GOOSE ISLAND 2016 SOFIE BELGIAN STYLE FARMHOUSE ALE, $3$3.80 Originally brewed to refresh Belgian farm laborers during the harvest, this saison is delicious in all seasons. A hazy straw in the glass with a thin head, it’s filled with ripe citrus and fresh grass aromas with a touch of spice. A hit of pepper colors the palate that’s a mix of lightly tart lemon, grainy malt and herb. Just a bit of Brett comes through on the finish. HERETIC TORMENT, $9$11.70 There’s a ruby tinge to this coffee colored ale, topped with a thin tan froth. The aromas are a heady blend of biscuit, malt and dried fruit. Big and boozy in the mouth, you get sweet malt, toffee, fig, date and creamy espresso. The buttery finish lingers on and on. At 10 percent alcohol, it’s definitely a brew to sip and savor—winter’s coming. DE BRABANDERE WITTEKERKE WILD, $3-$3.80 A lightly cloudy, very pale lemon drop colored pour, the head is thin but persistent, leaving decent lacing. Opens with an earthy funk on the nose that gives way to ripe lemon and stone fruit. It’s an exceptionally refreshing quaff with creamy lemon and lime flavors and a softly sour finish. A great choice as we segue into fall. —David Kirkpatrick BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Thomas, a gnostic text about the teachings of Jesus: “If you do not awaken and develop the potential talents that lie within you, they will damage you. If you do awaken and develop the potential talents that lie within you, they will heal you.” Whether you actually awaken and develop those talents or not depends on two things: your ability to identify them clearly and your determination to bring them to life with the graceful force of your willpower. I call this to your attention, Libra, because the coming months will be a highly favorable time to expedite the ripening of your talents. And it all starts NOW.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Even if you are a wild-eyed adventure-seeker with extremist views and melodramatic yearnings, you’ll benefit from taking a moderate approach to life in the coming weeks. In fact, you’re most likely to attract the help and inspiration you need if you adopt the strategy used by Goldilocks in the fairy tale Goldilocks and the Three Bears: neither excessive nor underdone, neither extravagant nor restrained, neither bawdy, loud and in-yourface nor demure, quiet and passive—but, rather, just right. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Some of my readers love me but also hate me. They are drawn to my horoscopes in the hope that I will help relieve them of their habitual pain, but then get mad at me when I do just that. In retrospect, they feel lost without the familiar companionship of their habitual pain. It had been a centerpiece of their identity, a source of stability and when it’s gone, they don’t know who they are any more. Are you like these people, Taurus? If so, you might want to avoid my horoscopes for a while. I will be engaged in a subtle crusade to dissolve your angst and agitation. And it all starts now with this magic spell: Your wound is a blessing. Discover why. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In my dream last night, bad guys wearing white hats constrained
you in a canvas straitjacket, then further wrapped you up with heavy steel chain secured by three padlocks. They drove you to a weedy field behind an abandoned warehouse and left you there in the pitch dark. But you were indomitable. By dawn, you had miraculously wriggled your way out of your confinement. Then you walked back home, free and undaunted. Here’s my interpretation of the dream: You now have special skills as an escape artist. No cage can hold you. No riddle can stump you. No tangle can confuse you. (P.S.: For best results, trust yourself even more than you usually do.) CANCER (June 21-July 22): The next four weeks will be a favorable time to come all the way home. Here are nine prompts for how to accomplish that: No. 1. Nourish your roots. No. 2. Strengthen your foundations. No. 3. Meditate about where you truly belong. No. 4. Upgrade the way you attend to your self-care. No. 5. Honor your living traditions. No. 6. Make a pilgrimage to the land where your ancestors lived. No. 7. Deepen your intimacy with the earth. No. 8. Be ingenious about expressing your tenderness. No. 9. Reinvigorate your commitment to the influences that nurture and support you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): What tools will work best for the
24 c SEPTEMBER 21–27, 2016 c BOISEweekly
tasks you’ll be invited to perform in the coming weeks? A sledgehammer or tweezers? Pruning shears or a sewing machine? A monkey wrench or a screwdriver? Here’s my guess: Always have your entire toolbox on hand. You may need to change tools in mid-task—or even use several tools for the same task. I can envision at least one situation that would benefit from you alternating between a sledgehammer and tweezers. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I’m confident that I will never again need to moonlight as a janitor or dishwasher in order to pay my bills. My gig as a horoscope columnist provides me with enough money to eat well, so it’s no longer necessary to shoplift bread or scavenge for dented cans of beets in grocery store Dumpsters. What accounts for my growing financial luck? I mean besides the fact that I have been steadily improving my skills as an oracle and writer? I suspect it may in part have to do with my determination to cultivate generosity. As I’ve become better at expressing compassion and bestowing blessings, money has flowed to me in greater abundance. Would this strategy work for you? The coming weeks and months will be a good time to experiment. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Here’s my translation of a passage from the ancient Gospel of
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You can’t completely eliminate unhelpful influences and trivial saboteurs and debilitating distractions from your life. But you’re entering a phase of your astrological cycle when you have more power than usual to diminish their effects. To get started in this gritty yet lofty endeavor, try this: Decrease your connection with anything that tends to demean your spirit, shrink your lust for life, limit your freedom, ignore your soul, compromise your integrity, dishonor your reverence, inhibit your self-expressiveness or alienate you from what you love. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Work too much and push yourself too hard, Sagittarius. Eat corn
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I propose that you and I make a deal. Here’s how it would work: For the next three weeks, I will say three prayers for you every day. I will ask God, Fate and Life to send you more of the recognition and appreciation you deserve. I will coax and convince them to give you rich experiences of being seen for who you really are. Now here’s what I ask of you in return: You will rigorously resolve to act on your core beliefs, express your noblest desires and say only what you truly mean. You will be alert for those times when you start to stray from the path with heart, and you will immediately get yourself back on that path. You will be yourself
three times stronger and clearer than you have ever been before. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you loosen yourself up by drinking an alcoholic beverage, don’t drive a forklift or ride a unicycle. If you have a hunch that your luck at gambling is peaking, don’t buy lottery tickets or play the slot machines. If you’re drawn to explore the frontiers of intimacy, be armed with the ancient Latin maxim, Primum non nocere, or “First, do no harm.” If you really do believe it would be fun to play with fire, bring a fire extinguisher with you. In presenting this cautionary advice, I’m not saying that you should never push the limits or bend the rules. But I want to be sure that as you dare to experiment, you remain savvy and ethical and responsible. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I invite you to explore the healing power of sex. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to do so. You are also likely to generate good fortune for yourself if you try to fix any aspect of your erotic life that feels wounded or awkward. For best results, suspend all your theories about the way physical intimacy should work in your life. Adopting a beginner’s mind could lead you to subtly spectacular breakthroughs. (P.S. You don’t necessarily need a partner to take full advantage of this big opening.)

DEAR MINERVA, Every year I go through this and I want to know what you think. Labor Day has come and gone. Can I still wear white or do I have to wait until spring? Everyone seems to have an opinion but no one knows why. Help me please? I love to wear white! Sincerely, —Beverly Sutphin
DEAR BS, This question comes up every year! Everyone thinks that they know the proper way to handle this fashion tradition. Since people want to avoid a faux pas, they just ban white from their wardrobe until spring. You certainly don’t have to do that. The whole “no white after Labor Day” rule was set by society’s elite during an era when strict dress codes were followed. White fabrics are often lighter weight and more comfortable for summer months but hardly a daily norm for the rich and famous. The rule stuck that we should only wear white clothes between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Fast forward to 2016. Now we can do whatever we like and “no white after Labor Day” really means that we should be wearing clothing that is appropriate for our climate. There are even “winter whites” that are heavier materials to stay warm and still enjoy the color. So, go ahead and wear what you like as long as you are comfortable and protected appropriately for the season ahead. I would even suggest to avoid rules of fashion all together. It’s your body. Adorn it as you please. SUBMIT questions to Minerva’s Breakdown at bit.ly/MinervasBreakdown or mail them to Boise Weekly, 523 Broad St., Boise, ID 83702. All submissions remain anonymous.

MINERVA’S BREAKDOWN
SAVE MY INK As recently as October 2015, the National Association for the Preservation of Skin Art was actively engaged in an effort to frame tats taken from corpses. That’s not nearly as creepy as it might at first sound. Under the aegis of “Save My Ink,” NAPSA members could pay a fee and yearly dues to the non-profit with the agreement that upon their deaths, NAPSA would savemyink.com work with the embalmer to remove their beloved tattoo, treat it against decomposition and mount it under glass for their loved ones to contemplate. According to savemyink.com: “Whether you have spent countless hours and large sums of money on your tattoos or you have a few especially meaningful pieces, the labor and stories behind your tattoos can carry on for future generations to experience.” Unfortunately, NAPSA no longer offers the service through its membership program, but the organization “is exploring providing preservation services directly through funeral homes.” To view a gallery of preserved specimens, check out the website. In the meantime, start saving up. NAPSA estimated the removal and preservation process costs about $2,000. —Zach Hagadone
