EDITOR’S NOTE GIVING FREE TRADE A FAIR SHAKE “Hitting the wall” in a marathon is a real, physiological thing. For most runners, the dreaded phenomenon presents itself as a seemingly unconquerable feeling of exhaustion that comes on in a wave at about mile 20 of the race. Volumes of running science have been written about what “the wall” is and how to power through it. I’ve never actually run a marathon, but I think I’m experiencing “the wall” and need to come up with some strategies to overcome the deep, existential weariness brought on by this election cycle. As I write this, on Nov. 1, there are exactly seven days until we can close the book on the 2016 General Election. At least, that’s what we might like to think. I have a sneaking suspicion much of the rhetoric and acrimony that has characterized American life over the past year or so isn’t going away when we finish casting ballots on Tuesday, Nov. 8. Recognizing the long tail of partisanship is, I suppose, is one way of dealing with political fatigue; and, perhaps as a palliative measure, that’s why this week’s feature (see Page 9) drills into a topic as apparently settled as the North American Free Trade Agreement. I have a personal connection to the story of NAFTA—I was 13 years old when the historic trade deal between the United States, Canada and Mexico was signed, and it had an immediate effect on my hometown of Sandpoint, located about 60 miles south of the border. My dad had worked in the lumber mills of North Idaho for most of my childhood, and later went on to sell building supplies. Like a lot of people, ours was one of those families “supported by timber dollars.” That got a lot tougher when NAFTA was passed and the market was drowned in below-market priced Canadian wood products. So, when Donald Trump said NAFTA is the “worst deal in U.S. history,” part of me kind of agreed. It was a bizarre feeling to agree with Trump, so I decided to take a closer look at the legacy of NAFTA on the state of Idaho. Of course, as with everything, it ended up being more complicated than I first imagined. —Zach Hagadone

Obviously some even worse stuff for both sides has come to light since I concepted this piece, but good luck trying to squeeze Trumps abhorrent treatment of women into a magazine cover without having readers reel back in horror. His face is bad enough.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

OPINION A VOTE FOR NASTY WOMEN It’s time to change AMY PENCE-BROWN If you have been following the news, you are certainly familiar with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s bigoted remarks about people of color, people with disabilities and women—particularly his Democratic presidential opponent Hillary Clinton. Recently, during the final presidential debate when Trump interrupted her for the umpteenth time, he lashed out her with the accusation “such a nasty woman.” What was meant to be a demeaning patriarchal comment has become a rally cry for Clinton supporters around the nation, myself included. Call us names and tell us we are “playing the woman card,” but I, and women like me, have had enough. I learned at a very young age that my female body was a political vessel and what was said about it, put on it, put in it and how it looked was largely manipulated by others. I grew up in small conservative towns in southern Idaho and when I was 15, I took money I had saved from my first job (at Dairy Queen), scheduled an appointment and secretly had my long hair chopped off into a short asexual pixie cut. It was one of my first feminist acts of defiance against the patriarchy and beauty culture. My parents were angry, my classmates were shocked and I was told that I looked ugly and like a boy. At about that same time, I began to realize I could use my words to challenge the status quo—to speak out against something I felt was harmful. There was an outcry to abolish the only chapter on sex education from our junior high school health class curriculum, and I knew it would be a huge mistake. I wrote a letter to the editor of our local newspaper in support of teaching us how to safely navigate our newfound sexuality and was called a slut and a bad influence. I went on to study history and women’s studies at the University of Idaho. Boys loved that I was quirky, fun and looked cute in a short skirt but not once I opened my mouth to talk. In my early 20s, a boyfriend turned to me one day and yelled, “I am so tired of hearing about your feminist bullshit. Will you just SHUT UP?!” (I broke up with him.) In my 30s, I moved back to Boise after landing what I thought was my dream job, only to have to fight for equal pay, appropriBOISE WEEKLY.COM

ate family leave and time to breastfeed my baby. I was deemed difficult to work with, demanding and a bitch by my femalesupervisors. I lost that job because I questioned blatant gender discrimination. Around the same time, I entered a new phase of my feminism by literally Googling the words, “Why am I fat and happy?” because I was fed up with our consumerist culture constantly force feeding us shame about how we are supposed to look. What I found launched me into the world of body positivity and fat acceptance and the radical notion that all bodies are good bodies and that there is, in fact, no wrong way to have a body. Since then, I have stood up several times in the name of discrimination and hate—most notably in a blindfold and a black bikini in 2015 during the Capital City Public Market in downtown Boise—and I continue to be accused of being too loud, too academic, a bad mother, too angry, too radical and taking up too much space. The naysayers seem to have gotten meaner and louder during the current presidential election cycle. I think it is because the stakes are so high as we teeter on the cusp of a major revolution. For years, women and minorities have been under attack by the GOP, and it all came to a head when the bullish Trump was selected as the 2016 candidate. To me, Trump represents the worst that America has to offer, including hate, racism, injustice, patriarchy, oppression, sexism, violence and anger. I hope many reading this are with me when I say I am done accepting this way of thinking as the status quo and I am ready to stand up, speak up and use the power of my ballot. I have never been more excited to vote in such a historic moment, for not only the first female president of the United States but the best candidate for the job. Join me Tuesday, Nov. 8, at the polling place and vote Hillary Clinton for nasty girls who dare to buck beauty standards and who stand up for sex education; for nasty women who refuse to date misogynists and be treated unfairly in the workplace; for all those women and girls ahead of us and behind us, including our own children, so they may never be degraded for being articulate, talented, educated, ambitious and themselves. It’s time to change the culture and the system. BOISEweekly | NOVEMBER 2–8, 2016 | 5

NEWS PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE

A Ketchum nursery owner said it was a “misunderstanding” when he voted twice in 2008.

YES, THERE HAS BEEN VOTER FRAUD IN IDAHO Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump would have Americans believe there is widespread voter fraud, saying “people that have died 10 years ago are still voting” and there is a “massive problem with illegal immigrants voting.” The Brennan Center for Justice deflates Trump’s claims, arguing “allegations of widespread voter fraud often prove greatly exaggerated. The allegations simply do not pan out.” However, conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation has curated a list of election fraud cases over the past several years “where individuals were either convicted of voter fraud, or where a judge overturned the results of an election.” The list includes two Idaho incidents: Following the 2004 General Election—Bush vs. Kerry—Jason Jay Goodson was convicted in Bonneville County in eastern Idaho, for “falsifying or forging public records and wrongful signing of a ballot petition,” which is a felony. He was sentenced to two years probation. Following the 2008 General Election— Obama vs. McCain—Walter Coiner, who identified himself as a Ketchum nursery owner, pleaded guilty to attempting to vote twice: once through a write-in ballot in Twin Falls and again in person at a Blaine County polling place. According to the Twin Falls Times-News, Coiner misunderstood where and when he could vote, and asked for leniency from the court. Ultimately, Coiner was sentenced to one year of probation, a $300 fine and 40 hours of community service. Most claims of voter fraud in 2016 have come from GOP candidates, and the year’s first big case involved a Trump supporter. Terri Rote, 55, of Des Moines, Iowa, was charged with election misconduct (a felony), after prosecutors said she cast two ballots at two separate early voting locations. Rote told police, “it was a spur of the moment thing,” and later told Iowa Public Radio she cast her first ballot for Trump but feared it might be changed by unscrupulous poll workers to alter her ballot in favor of Hillary Clinton. “The polls are rigged,” said Rote, after being released on a $5,000 bond. —George Prentice 6 | NOVEMBER 2–8, 2016 | BOISEweekly

Planned Parenthood battles political present, has higher hopes for the future GEORGE PRENTICE Hannah Brass Greer, Idaho legislative director and public affairs manager with Planned Parenthood Votes Northwest—a non-partisan, non-profit organization—was issues-deep in a political conversation when she pointed to the Idaho Statehouse. “When I’m listening to people across Idaho, yes, they want to talk about Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, but what I believe to be true is that our lives are most impacted by that building over there,” Greer said. “It’s important to engage, but we’ve got to engage at a local level if anything is truly going to change.” Greer talks about change for a living. When she’s not lobbying Idaho lawmakers to secure access to safe, legal healthcare, she’s promoting engagement in the political process, no matter how messy it has become. “It’s an election like no other. We can’t look back in the playbook of other election years and say 2016 looks like any other year,” said Greer. “That said, Planned Parenthood feels a lot a momentum: The way we’re delivering healthcare, the way we’re conducting conversations, all of it is shifting in a positive way. And this is a pretty big year for us.” To say the least. In addition to what Greer says is “the most progressive presidential ticket that we’ve ever seen” in the Clinton campaign, Planned Parenthood is marking its centennial. Nearly 100 years to the day from when Planned Parenthood was founded, Greer said, “I don’t know how many Idaho students are taught about Margaret Sanger. I don’t remember learning about her when I was a student.” In 2015, a series of deceptively-edited “sting” videos from anti-abortion activists claimed to show Planned Parenthood officials trying to sell fetal tissue. Shortly thereafter, a number of Idaho legislators and representatives from the office of Governor C.L. “Butch” Otter demanded an accounting of how much in Idaho tax dollars had gone toward paying for abortions at Planned Parenthood facilities—particularly procedures funded through Medicaid. Idaho Medicaid dollars can only be used to pay

for abortions in cases of rape or incest or if the mother’s life is at risk, and lawmakers were informed that between 2012 and 2014, only two abortions funded by Medicaid were performed by Planned Parenthood in Idaho—the state’s portion was $108. Meanwhile, the people responsible for the videos were indicted by a Texas grand jury on felony charges of tampering with government documents. “There’s a political shift to attack Planned Parenthood and other organizations that increase access to health services,” said Greer. “I don’t expect those attacks to slow down.” That shift has been tangible at the Idaho Statehouse where, in 2015, the Idaho Legislature pushed through House Bill 154, which requires women to get an exam and counseling from a physician before they can purchase the chemical abortion drug RU-486. Planned Parenthood filed suit against the State of Idaho, saying the new law illegally restricts access to safe and legal abortions in Idaho. More recently, the 2016 Idaho Legislature passed House Bill 516, requiring Idaho doctors give women seeking an abortion a list of ultrasound providers, including names of “limited service” or “crisis pregnancy” centers—places that give false or misleading information about what services are offered and deny referrals for reproductive health care. “Many of those centers aren’t regulated. Many of them, if any, aren’t even required to comply with HIPAA laws. There are all sorts of problems with the facilities are on that list,”

said Greer. “We now have a lot of people being pushed toward places that, I’m concerned, aren’t providing accurate information. It’s clearly agenda-driven.” Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump took aim at Planned Parenthood during his final debate with his opponent Hillary Clinton, saying he would push to end federal funding to the organization and would only add “pro-life” justices to the U.S. Supreme Court. “People in Idaho are talking. And sometimes they’re asking about Clinton or Trump, but they’re also asking, ‘Why can’t I get access to the healthcare that I need today?’ And then they learn, ‘Oh, it’s because the Idaho Legislature makes you wait for it,” said Greer. “And we’re hearing more and more volunteers say, ‘You know why I’m here today? It’s because I’m sick of what’s going on. And I want to talk about this. And I want to talk to other voters.’” According to Cynthia Alleman, support for Planned Parenthood in Idaho comes from all corners of the political spectrum. “Not just burning feminists,” she said. Alleman’s daughter, Amber Reynolds-Smith, agreed. “That’s right,” she said. “Sometimes, it’s a conservative retired Lieutenant Colonel from the Air Force,” she added, referring to her 82-year-old grandfather, Fred Alleman. Cynthia said her father has been a Republican for much of his adult life. 8 “For him, it has always been about doing right, and Planned Parenthood has BOISE WEEKLY.COM

10-digit dialing in Idaho will be optional until August 2017, when it will become mandatory.

HERE COMES 10-DIGIT DIALING Beginning Saturday, Nov. 5, Idaho will ease its way into 10-digit dialing. That’s when the Public Utilities Commission launches what it calls a “permissive dialing period,” which means the 208 area code can be added to all local dialing. By this time next year, it will be mandatory. “The commission wanted to allow plenty of time for customers to prepare for the change and get used to 10-digit dialing,” said PUC president Paul Kjellander. Idaho is still one of a handful of states that has one area code—208 was assigned to the Gem State back in 1947. In 2001, a study indicated Idaho would soon run out of available numbers under the 208 umbrella. That’s why a second area code—986—will be issued to new telephone numbers beginning in fall 2017. Regulators decided to mix the 208 and 986 area codes throughout Idaho instead of separating the state in two sectors, which would have required many Idahoans to change their area code. That, in turn, is prompting the 10-digit dialing. The PUC says, over the next several months, Idaho customers should start changing the numbers they have pre-programmed into their phones to include the area code. When mandatory 10-digit dialing begins in August 2017, all calls—even local calls— without an area code will not be completed. Long-distance or toll calls on landlines will require a 1 before the area code, the same as long-distance calls now require. Local calls on landline phones will still not cost anything, even though dialing the area code will be required. The move to a second area code will not impact rates. Regulators were quick to add that callers will still dial just three digits when calling 911, 211, 411 or 811. In rolling out the “permissive dialing period,” a PUC spokesman said new technology “will eventually drive seven-digit dialing into obsolescence. Thus, any future dialing change and [future] planning will be eased by the implementation of 10-digit dialing now rather than later.” —George Prentice 8 | NOVEMBER 2–8, 2016 | BOISEweekly

Donald Trump called NAFTA the ‘worst deal in U.S. history.’ How has it played out in Idaho? Z ACH HAGADONE

ithin the span of 1 minute, 54 seconds of the first 2016 presidential debate, Republican nominee Donald Trump attacked the North American Free Trade Agreement four times, calling the U.S.-Canada-Mexico pact, “the single worst trade deal ever approved in this country” and “one of the worst things that ever happened to the manufacturing industry.” “NAFTA is the worst trade deal maybe ever signed anywhere, but certainly ever signed in this country,” he said. “Nothing will ever top NAFTA.” Shortly after the Sept. 26 debate, The New York Times described Trump’s salvos on trade as the candidate’s “best moments” in the face off. During the following two debates, he also landed blows against NAFTA and vowed to “terminate” the deal should he gain office—it’s fair to say Trump never stuck any talking points better. That the real-estate-mogul-turned-reality-TV-star-turnedGOP-presidential-candidate would perform best on trade is perhaps unsurprising, considering his long business career. That he would zero in a 22-year-old trade deal approved by former President Bill Clinton, husband of his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton, may have caused most—especially younger— voters to scratch their heads. If so, it bears noting that for big chunks of the electorate, including in Idaho, Trump was right. Or, at least, it seems that way. Anyway, it’s complicated.

‘SMALL POCKETS’ The stretch of U.S. 95 south of the IdahoCanada border is sparsely populated. Heading north from Bonners Ferry, in aptly named Boundary County, the road runs parallel to the Kootenay River as it flows through a narrow glacial valley dotted with small farms. The highway branches about 12 miles south of the border, with ID-1 heading to the crossing at Porthill and 95 continuing to Eastport. Skirted by dense forests, the peaks of the Selkirk Mountains rise up in the west and the Cabinets in the east. Changes at the border were immediate following the passage of NAFTA in January 1994. Trucks bearing logs from British Columbia rumbled south into Boundary and Bonner counties, taking advantage of loosened trade restrictions between the U.S. and Canada. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Soon, the Eastport-Kingsgate station on U.S. 95 became the sixth most trafficked along the western U.S.-Canada border, with 194 crossings per day in 1995. According to a Federal Highway Administration analysis published that year, of the 5,100 two-way truck movements across the western border in 1994, 90 percent of the trucks moving south were full and 33 percent of those heading north were empty. As Canadian logging trucks rolled through towns like Bonners Ferry, Sandpoint, Hayden and Coeur d’Alene, locals who had traditionally subsisted off timber jobs started to worry. Unlike in the U.S., Canadian lumber companies enjoyed subsidies from their government. The result was a wave of below-market priced timber that U.S. producers couldn’t compete

with. In August 1995, then-U.S. Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) railed on the floor of the U.S. Senate against the trade deal for exposing the domestic market to “cheap, subsidized Canadian timber.” “When [NAFTA] launched, it had an immediate negative impact on our timber industry and we lost jobs,” said Shawn Keough, who in addition to serving as senator for Idaho District 1 since 1996, is also executive director of Associated Logging Contractors, Inc. “I also remember President Clinton on the TV talking about how NAFTA was good for most of the USA ‘except for small pockets here and there,’ and thinking that our little area of Idaho was dead center in one of those ‘small pockets,’” she added. By 1997, three years after the trade deal was

implemented, nine of the 14 Idaho companies that had taken advantage of the Transitional Adjustment Assistance Act, meant to provide support for workers laid off or forced to take part-time shifts because of NAFTA, were lumber mills or in the wood products industry. Since 2003, which is as far back as U.S. Department of Labor records go, 8,063 Idaho businesses have been certified TAAA eligible with 3,475 participants having received some kind of financial assistance, be it training, job search or relocation allowance, or wage subsidies. The total amount paid out to Idaho TAAA recipients since 2003: $34 million. “For some of our other companies, however, it opened trade opportunities that had not existed prior, but I’ll be darned if I can remember which ones those were now,” Keough said.

According to Crapo, those farmers were in for a rude awakening when markets they thought would suddenly be thrown open turned out to be less than accommodating. “We’ve had very difficult times with Mexico in getting them to agree to let our Idaho potatoes into their markets,” Crapo said, adding sugar, a major southern Idaho industry, has also run into significant barriers with Mexican trade officials. In its 2016 “Trade Issues Report,” the Idaho Department of Agriculture provided an update on conflicts with Mexico regarding Idaho exports. Mexico jacked up tariffs on a number of agricultural products in 2009 and 2010 in retaliation for Congress cutting off funds to a program that made it easier to move trucks across the border. While processed potatoes from the U.S. carried a 5 percent tariff (reduced from an initial 20 percent), Canada—the primary competitor in the market—enjoyed a 0 percent tariff, making Canadian potatoes far cheaper for consumers. In 2008, NAFTA rules eliminated tariffs on sugar between the the U.S. and Mexico, resulting in a glut of cheap Mexican sugar. In March 2014, the U.S. sugar industry filed antidumping and countervailing duty petitions against Mexico, which the International Trade Commission found valid, writing that U.S. sugar producers—including those in Idaho—were “materially threatened” by low-cost imports of subsidized Mexican sugar. “It would be different across different parts of the economy, but I believe, overall, it has turned out that NAFTA has been a bad deal for Idaho,” Crapo said. “I think that most of the agriculture community—not all—but most of the agriculture community who at the time supported it … has over time expressed a lot of concern over the way NAFTA has been implemented or the way in which protections against non-tariff trade barriers have not been enforced adequately or not been realized. In the whole, NAFTA has been a bad agreement for the U.S.”

VIVID INFORMATION The problem with hemispheric trade deals like NAFTA, economists say, is often with public relations. The economy is complicated, and people often conflate their personal experiences with job loss or shrinking bank accounts with the system as a whole. Social scientists call it “vivid information”—you see a fiery plane crash and think, “I’m never getting on a plane again.” Meanwhile, statistics show you are orders of magnitude more likely to die in a car collision, yet you happily strap in for your morning commute. The image of the plane crash is so much more intense, it feeds a fear impulse that has little to do with logic. “In a very general sense, if you’ve got a trade deal that’s raising output GDP [gross domestic product] in all of the affected countries, total employment is likely going to be rising as well,” said U of I Economics Professor Steven Peterson. “Within each country, there’s going to be winners and losers, and the losers are often concentrated

While NAFTA coincided with dislocation to the economies of timber-reliant communities in Idaho, the deal as a whole generated—and continues to generate—a lot of money across the state. Since 1994, exports to Canada and Mexico from Idaho companies have risen 800 percent. According to a 2015 report from the International Trade Administration, 202,200 Idaho jobs rely on exports or imports, representing a 98 percent increase from 1992. In that time, Idaho exports to Canada and Mexico have risen $1.6 billion, with export trade to Canada—Idaho’s No. 1 trading partner—worth more than $1.5 billion. What’s more, trade-related jobs in Idaho grew 2.8 times faster than total employment from 2004 to 2014 and Idaho goods exports have grown almost twice as fast as the state’s gross domestic product since 2004. “The research that I’ve seen on NAFTA as a whole for the U.S., Canada and Mexico is that it’s been a help to the economy and definitely has spurred international trade,” said University of Idaho Economics Professor Eric Stuen. Writing for the Zion’s Bank Idaho Politics Weekly website, contributor Steve Taggart criticized Trump’s trade policies in July 2016. “Like all trade agreements, there were winners and losers from NAFTA,” he wrote. “Idaho was one of the big winners.” U.S. Sen. Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) begs to differ. Among the first major votes Crapo cast in the U.S. Congress was a “nay” to NAFTA. Elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Idaho’s second congressional district in 1992, the nowU.S. senator joined with his three colleagues in the Idaho congressional delegation (including Democratic Rep. Larry LaRocco) in withholding his support when the trade deal went before lawmakers in 1993. “As now, with regards to [the Trans-Pacific Partnership], there was strong opposition from both wings of the political spectrum: from labor on the left and from very strong conservatives on the right. And for different reasons,” Crapo said. “For labor, the concern was on interference with jobs. For conservatives, the opposition was largely the same kind of opposition that you see today: A concern about yielding United States sovereignty to other nations with regard to issues like environmental policy or labor policy or what have you.” Nonetheless, NAFTA was widely supported in Idaho at the time—particularly among small business owners and the agricultural industry. In a survey of 1,300 farmers and ranchers conducted by the University of Idaho in October 1994, 2/3rds of respondents said not only were trade deals like NAFTA beneficial, they didn’t go far enough. Speaking to the Lewiston Morning Tribune at the time, U of I Extension Agricultural Economist Neil Meyer, who worked on the survey, said, “I think most farmers realize that their markets are dependent on exports. Therefore, they view multilateral and bilateral trade agreements as generally enhancing their ability to sell overseas.”

in specific industries. The winners are often more diffused. ... It’s harder to see the job gains, but it’s easier to see the job losses.” That’s cold comfort to the losers. Yet, when it comes to shaping policy, a longer view is necessary to assign blame for perceived economic injustices. “Prior to NAFTA, you’ve got several things going on at the same time. You’ve got an increase in technological advance, which causes a fair amount of job loss. As worker productivity goes up, the number of workers goes down,” Peterson said. Stuen added: “Automation within the saw mills, in particular, has reduced the number of workers needed to produce the same amount of board feet. So not all the job losses can be blamed on NAFTA. In fact, only a small portion can be attributed to the trade deal, with those other factors playing a larger part.” Put another way, the decline of timber industry employment, specifically, was going to happen

regardless, but, Peterson said, trade deals like NAFTA speeded up the process. “Then trade takes the blame for it,” he said. In the war of perception, rhetoric like Trump’s—and that of former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, whose campaign also took a dim view of free trade policies—can have as much effect as tariffs, duties and other barriers. Speaking to Trump’s attacks on NAFTA, Stuen said, “It’s obviously been threatening to trading partners such as Mexico. I think Trump has proved to be wildly unpopular in Mexico.” Meanwhile, Peterson said, “If you look at Bernie Sanders and some of the rhetoric on the left, I’m concerned about a new rise of protectionism across the board. I think we may be in some rough waters going ahead, given the rhetoric that’s coming out of the politicians. I’m hoping it dies down and becomes more sensible, more cerebral, more deliberative, than what we’ve heard in this campaign.” BOISE WEEKLY.COM

52ND YEAR - BOGUS BASIN SKI CLUB PRESENTS THE DARK HEART At the dark heart of Idaho politics is negation. Nothing wins in Gem State governance like rejecting governance, and international trade has long operated as a dog whistle to awaken voters’ lesser angels. The Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks extremism across the nation, ranks the passage of NAFTA among the events that led to the so-called “Patriot Movement.” In one of its reports, titled “The Militia Movement Takes Off,” SPLC wrote, “In a bid to spur trade and economic growth, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is implemented. One result is a loss of American jobs to Mexico and other countries as manufacturers shift production to lower-wage markets. “Within three years, a study by the advocacy group Public Citizen will find, some 500,000 U.S. jobs have been lost and downward wage pressure is affecting millions more. “NAFTA and other international economic pacts are deeply resented by radical rightists ... who see them as evidence of the growing power of a global elite, or ‘New World Order.’” For extremists—both on the left- and rightwings, though the latter has always been better at mobilizing its numbers—free trade policies confirm a long-held belief: The world economy is controlled by a fill-in-the-blank list of enemies of the “traditional American worker.” In North Idaho in the early 1990s, groups like the Aryan Nations could be found—literally—on the side of the road. At the Sagle, Idaho, flea market on U.S. 95, the AN parked its repurposed school bus alongside rows of tables piled with tracts like The Turner Diaries and various “survivalist” literature; their skin-headed acolytes, dressed in robin’s-egg-blue short-sleeved uniforms, lounging on the steps of the bus as kids like yours truly accidentally wandered into their space looking for mystery novels (true story). Randy Weaver, a small-time arms dealer to white nationalist groups in the Northwest, was besieged by federal agents in 1992. Late-Aryan Nations leader Richard Butler was peddling his stump preacher act in a backwoods church in Hayden. There were billboards on U.S. 95 between Sandpoint and Coeur d’Alene demanding “Get U.S. out of U.N.” The mills were closing and kids went without. At the same time, lateIdaho Congresswoman Helen “Canned Salmon” Chenoweth was shooting a film with also-lateconservative rabble rouser Phyllis Schlafly decrying the coming New World Order. The video, titled “Global Governance: The Quiet War Against American Independence,” features Chenoweth in the first eight seconds, followed by late-U.S. Congressman Jesse Helms, granddaddy of the alt-right Pat Buchanan and former lawmaker-turned George W. Bush-era Attorney General John Ashcroft. The theme of the video, which can be found on YouTube, is selfexplanatory: A stew of conspiracies—including the Convention on the Rights of Children and UN Treaty on Women overthrowing the AmeriBOISE WEEKLY.COM

can family and the UN trying to filch American historical landmarks—fill the film. According to Buchanan, an effort was afoot “to subordinate national decisions to global decisions.” No less than the National Socialist Movement, long riven with internal conflict, in April 2016 signed an historic accord with fellow groups to stop fighting amongst themselves and join together to fight their perceived common enemy: “The drive for profit and control led by the banks, corporations, and Jewish interests have wrecked our economy and nation, but are doing the same thing to nations around the world. Free Trade agreements such as NAFTA ruined the American manufacturing economy, but also destroyed the Mexican agricultural economy,” the NSM mission statement reads, going on to state the goal of NAFTA and other such deals was to lay “the groundwork for a North American Union.” As Buchanan, in Blood and Politics: The History of the White Nationalist Movement, is quoted: “The battle over NAFTA is ... a struggle about what it means to be a conservative.”

ANYWAY, IT’S COMPLICATED NAFTA was, and remains, to a large number of Americans, the first in a series of abdications of sovereignty. There’s truth to it, but maybe not exactly the truth that animates the fever dreams of Idaho’s most overheated patriots. “What the U.S. has historically done… is we have frankly been out-negotiated and we agree to very bad deals just with regard to tariffs. We have also put into the agreements a lot of policy pressures on the United States government and a lot of individual states in the country with regard to non-trade related policies,” Crapo said. “I do believe NAFTA and the failure of NAFTA to achieve the benefits it was touted to have achieved, and the actual reality that there were changes forced on the United States government in terms of our compliance with NAFTA that was mandated in a number of circumstances, has contributed to the concerns that the United States—unjustifiably and too frequently—yields sovereignty, and I do agree with that.” Asked if NAFTA is the “worst deal” ever, Crapo said the deal President Barack Obama signed with Iran to limit that country’s nuclear arsenal was worse. “But I do have to say, the concern I have—and I’m speaking more broadly than NAFTA—with trade agreements that the U.S. has entered is not with the notion of trade agreements themselves,” he said. “I believe we need trade agreements.” Regarding the “worst deal,” Stuen said, “I think that’s a mischaracterization. … Although it’s undeniable it’s had a negative effect on some sectors ... overall, it’s been a good thing.” However, it’s complicated. “It’s easy to justify things based on perceptions of such-and-such happened and I lost my job, and that’s the culprit,” said Stuen. “They’re not thinking about the economy as a complex system.”

ZELLA BARDSLEY’S A BESTIARY James Lipton never ceases to amaze. The longtime host of the insightful (but also hilarious) Inside the Actor’s Studio, he spent 20 years researching the plurals of nouns. The result was An Exaltation of Larks, published in 1968, and it’s one of the foremost sources on what to call a group of, say, leopards (a “leap”) or critics (a “shrivel”). Lipton’s work is seminal in the area, but also shows a playfulness of language that continues to inspire writers, artists and the public. Count visual artist Zella Bardsley among them. Her newest exhibit at Art Source Gallery, A Bestiary, is illuminated by Exaltation, featuring everything from riots of rock lobsters to armies of ants and beyond. Check it out while sipping Indian Creek wines and listening to tunes by Rochelle. 5:30-9 p.m. FREE. 1015 Main St., 208-331-3374, artsourcegallery.com.

GAME OF POEMS Season seven of Game of Thrones is coming. Unfortunately, producers of the hit HBO program have pushed the air date of the ﬁrst episode to “mid-2017,” and the season is expected to contain seven episodes rather than the usual 10. Thankfully, Big Tree Arts and Spacebar Arcade have the perfect activity to tide us over until the premiere: the Game of Poems. It’s a deep dive into nerdiness that pairs well with a beer and the lights and sounds of Boise’s only downtown video game arcade. Prevail against the expert Nerd Panel in a trivia challenge, write up themed poems and short stories, and drink the night away. You might even take home the grand prize from Crucial Memory Systems. This event is for 21 and over. 8-10 p.m. FREE. 200 N. Capitol Blvd., boisepoetry.com.

GRAMFEST WITH OLD DEATH WHISPER, ANDREW SHEPPARD AND 2 GUN RIG; NOV. 5; THE OLYMPIC Like a sad slew of other inﬂuential musicians, Gram Parsons’ hard-partying lifestyle took him out before he was 30: Parsons was only 26 years old when he died of an alcohol and morphine overdose. Parsons left his “Southern gothic family life” behind only a few years earlier, but as the saying goes, “You can take the boy out of the country, but you can’t the country out of the boy,” and more than four decades after his death, Parsons is still name-checked as one of the founders of country rock. Some of those who carry on his tradition pay homage to the pioneer each year on his birthday—Nov. 5—with their version of Gramfest, which is exactly what ass-kickin’ country rockers Old Death Whisper will do on Saturday, playing both covers and originals.

THE HEAD AND THE HEART, NOV. 9, MORRISON CENTER It’s not often that a band’s ship comes in so rapidly, but The Head and The Heart has enjoyed a lightning-fast rise to become one of the most in-demand indie-folk acts in the nation. It wasn’t so long ago that the Seattle-based sextet was hustling in smalltown bars and small rooms around the Northwest. If Sub Pop thought it was taking a chance with The Head and The Heart’s 2011 self-titled debut album, it was worth it—the record became one of the label’s best-selling debuts of all time and, before even the band members knew it, they were reading about themselves in Rolling Stone. Gone are the hard-scrabble days, as THATH is touring behind its 2016 release Signs of Light (Warner Bros), with stops in Canada, Mexico, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, the U.K. and across the U.S.—including a night in one of the biggest rooms in the Gem State. —Zach Hagadone With Declan Mckenna, 7:30 p.m., $35-$70.

Jeremy Renner (left) and Amy Adams (right) star in the much-anticipated Arrival, landing in North American movie theaters on Friday, Nov. 11.

CLOSE ENCOUNTER OF THE BEST KIND Arrival comes just in time GEORGE PRENTICE People of Earth: fear not. They come in peace. Those colossal strangers on the horizon mean no harm. In fact they bear great, intelligence and, quite often, pure delight. Please make them welcome. For the next 90 days they’ll fill many of your days and nights with great satisfaction; and, before any wack-job militia members grab their muskets, I should clarify that I speak not of a foreign invasion. Rather, get ready for a steady march of fabulous films coming in multitudes that we have not seen in quite a while. The first is Arrival, a big, thrilling sci-fi drama that is equal parts hair-raising and poignant. While preparing for this review, I dug out my notebook, filled with initial reactions to the film gleaned from viewing its North American premiere in September at the Toronto International Film Festival. Among the words I scribbled in the dark were: “poetic,” “grand,” “deeply emotional,” “often somber” and, after pages and pages of musings, I finally wrote, “I love, love, love this film.” By now, there’s a good chance you have seen the trailers for Arrival. In anticipation of its Friday, Nov. 11 debut in theaters across the planet, its producers have decided to go all out with a big push to Oscar season. For the record, I think they’re spot-on. Amy Adams, its star, will most certainly make the Best Actress short list (it’s stunning to think this young lady has already 24 | NOVEMBER 2–8, 2016 | BOISEweekly

DeďŹ nitely a malt driven style, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just enough hops on the ďŹ nish to keep things in balance. You get ďŹ&#x201A;avors of vanilla, caramel, mocha and cafe au lait. A nice, warming brew with a bit of spice. FULL SAIL WASSAIL, $1.50-$1.80 An ebony colored pour with a ruby tinge, the thin, tan head does not linger. The aromas are malt driven with a graham cracker and caramel edge. Lightly carbonated, as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d expect from the head, the ďŹ&#x201A;avors are smooth, lightly sweet, with just a touch of bitter hops. You get toffee, toasted malt, spice and a touch of hazelnut. SIERRA NEVADA 2016 CELEBRATION ALE, $1.60-$1.90 A three-ďŹ nger froth tops this copper colored brew, collapsing slowly and leaving a thick lacing. Celebration has always been a hopforward, holiday brew and this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is no exception. Slightly muted aromas of citrus laced hops come through.

JEAN ASSON Making sure your vote counts

FIRST THURSDAY Sweet treats, warm drinks, and letters to Santa

GEORGE PRENTICE

Jean Asson voted early this year, but as a chief judge in her Meridian precinct, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be at the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 8 protecting the right of others to vote. This will be Assonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final Election Day as a poll administrator, though. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stepping back, she says, to spend more time with her husband and volunteering with the Assistance League of Boise. With just a few days left until Election Day, Asson talked about what will undoubtedly be her busiest day of the year. When did you begin working for Ada County Elections? A friend of the family asked me to help out in 2006 because there were a number of changes coming to the voting process.

That election triggered some more changes in Ada County. They decided our precincts were too big, so they sliced up the region into more precincts. As a result, they created a new polling place near Banbury Golf Course and asked me to be the chief judge there. Can you explain the options for someone who has never voted before? If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here long enough to have an Idaho driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really all they need. Otherwise, someone who has been in Idaho for 30 days or more but doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have an Idaho license, can bring an out-of-state license or a photo from something like a Costco card. They also need a utility bill to link them to their current address. If they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a utility bill, they could also use a checkbook, a car registration or even a magazine with their address on the label.

If I remember my recent history correctly, those cke out a victory. Remember those hanging-chad ballots in Florida? Well, we had those types of ballots here, too. So, Ada County asked me to be trainer, where If they have no photo ID? No problem. Then, they can sign a personal I would go to poll workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; homes, instructing identification affidavit, and [they] get a ballot. them on all of the new changes prior to the election.

They called me over, and I stepped out A chief judge is ultimately responsible for a polling place. Once that polling place opens, none into the lobby with the young man, who repeated, of the poll workers can leave. So the district judge, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not showing my ID, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not signing who is responsible for seven or eight separate pre- anything.â&#x20AC;?

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): I am in awe of your head-first, charge-forward, no-distractions approach. I aspire to incorporate more of the Aries-style directness into my own repertoire. But I also love it when, on rare occasions, you flirt with a more strategic perspective. It amuses me to see you experimenting with the power of secrets. Your wisdom often grows at an expedited rate when you get caught up in a web of intrigue that exposes you to dark joys and melodramatic lessons. During times like these, you feel fine about not having everything figured out, about not knowing the most straightforward route to your destination. You allow the riddles and enigmas to ferment as you bask in the voluptuous ambiance of the Great Mystery. Now is such a time. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I am pleased to inform you that at least 30 percent of what you think you know about love and lust is too prosaic. Probably too narrow and constrained, as well. Here’s the good news: As soon as you agree to relinquish the dull certainty of that 30-plus percent, you will open yourself to a surge of fresh teachings. And soon, I expect, dewy throbs and hot flows will awaken in all the erotic parts of your body, including your heart and brain and soul. If you’re brave enough to respond, lessons in intimacy will keep you entertained for weeks.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Over the past two decades, wellmeaning Westerners have donated a profusion of clothes to lowincome folks in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. Kind and magnanimous, right? Yes, but their largesse has had an unintended consequence: the demise of the textile industry in those African countries. With this as a cautionary tale, I’m asking you to take inventory of your own acts of benevolence and charity. Are they having effects that you approve of? If not completely, how could you adjust the way you give your gifts and bestow your blessings? CANCER (June 21-July 22): Is it possible that you might flourish as a topdog after all the work you’ve put in as an underdog? Can you wean yourself from the worried fantasy that you’ve got endless dues to pay, and then harness your imagination to expand your confidence and build your clout? I believe you can. In the coming weeks I will unleash a flood of prayers to the Goddess of Holy Reversals, asking her to assist you. Now please repeat after me: “I am a creative force of nature. I am a strong song of liberation. I am a wise animal with direct access to my primal intelligence.” LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The next two weeks could be smooth, peaceful, and bland. Is

that the experience you want? Mild satisfactions, sweet boredom, and slow progress? There’s nothing wrong with any of that. Please feel free to loll and loaf as you explore the healing charms of laziness. Grant yourself permission to avoid conflict and cultivate sunny selfprotectiveness. This is one of those times when silence and stasis are among the best gifts you can give yourself. Welcome the rejuvenating power of emptiness! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It’s time to replace banged-up, dried-out old obsessions with ripe, juicy fascinations. It’s your duty to phase out numbing traditions and deadening habits so as to make room for exciting new rituals, customs, and sacraments. Can you summon the electric willpower to shed influences that are technically “correct” but lacking in soulfulness? I think you can. Do you love yourself enough to forswear pretty but meaningless titillations? I think you do. Now get out there and do the hard work necessary to bring more serious fun into your life. Homework: Write an essay titled “What I Can Do to Be More Playful.” LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Over the course of his or her life, the average British person says “Sorry” on more than 90,000 occasions. The typical Libran Brit probably utters routine apologies upwards of 120,000 times. Libras

from other countries may not reach that heady level, but many do specialize in excessive politeness. (I should know, as I have three planets in Libra in my natal chart.) In accordance with the astrological indicators, I am authorizing you to be a bit less courteous and solicitous than usual in the next two weeks. Don’t go overboard, of course. But allowing yourself some breathing room like this will help you get more rigorous access to your authentic, idiosyncratic, soulful urges—which will be very tonic. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Until 2007, Scotland’s official slogan was “Scotland, the Best Small Country in the World.” Deciding that wasn’t sufficiently upbeat, the government spent $187,000 on a campaign to come up with something better. “Home of Golf” and “Home of Europe’s Fastest Growing Life Sciences Community” were among the proposed phrases that were rejected. The ultimate choice: “Welcome to Scotland.” I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because you’re in a favorable phase to rebrand yourself. But I hope you will be more daring and imaginative than Scotland. How about “Smolderingly Alarmingly Brilliant”? Or maybe “Safely Risky and Unpredictably Wise” or “Home of the Best Secrets Ever”? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I cheer you on as you attend

to your difficult but holy duties. I send you my love as you summon the wisdom and resourcefulness you need to weather the gorgeous storm. Here are clues that might be useful: Whether you are partially or totally victorious will depend as much on the attitude you hold in your heart as on your outward behavior. Be grateful, never resentful, for the interesting challenges. Love your struggles for the new capacities they are building in you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The coming weeks constitute the harvest phase of your personal cycle. That means you have the pleasure of gathering in the ripe rewards that you have been cultivating since your last birthday. But you also have the responsibility to answer and correct for any carelessness you have allowed to affect your efforts during the previous eleven months. Don’t worry, dear. My sense is that the goodies and successes far outnumber and overshadow the questionable decisions and failures. You have ample reasons to celebrate. But I hope you won’t get so caught up in your rightful exaltation that you’ll neglect the therapeutic atonements. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Like England and Spain, the Netherlands has a royal family, including a king, queen, prince, and princesses. They’re an egalitarian bunch. The young ones attend

public schools, and the previous queen’s birthday is celebrated with a nation-wide flea market. The king’s crown is attractive but quite economical. Its pearls are fake, and other “jewels” are made of glass, colored foil, and fish scales. In accordance with the astrological omens, I propose that you create a regal but earthy headpiece for yourself. It’s high time for you to elevate your self-worth in an amusing and artful way. What fun and funky materials will you use in your homemade crown? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In her book, A Natural History of the Senses, Diane Ackerman reports on the eccentric methods that professional writers have used to galvanize their creative process. Poet Amy Lowell relaxed into her work day by puffing on Manila cigars. Novelist Colette plucked fleas from her cat. T. S. Eliot’s poetry thrived when he had a head cold. Novelist George Sand liked to jump out of bed after making love and immediately begin writing. Novelist William Gass, who is still among the living, wanders around outside taking photos of “rusty, derelict, overlooked, downtrodden” places. As for D. H. Lawrence: climbing mulberry trees naked energized his genius. What about you, Pisces? Now is an excellent time to draw intensely on your reliable sources of inspiration—as well as to seek new ones.

PAGE BREAK $GYLFH IRU WKRVH RQ WKH YHUJH MEANING OF DEATH

DEAREST GODDESS MINERVA, I think I know what the meaning of life is. I haven’t exactly learned what the meaning of death is. I was wondering, Minerva, if you could share what you think the meaning of death is? Sincerely, Dying to Know

DEAREST DYING TO KNOW, Death is different to everyone. For me, death is the great equalizer. Death is a great mystery. Death is the natural progression all living creatures must go through. Death is indiscriminate. It cares not for time or circumstance. Death is unfair in a world that strives and longs for fairness. Death cuts down some in the prime of their life and lets others linger on in misery. Death can be merciful but more often is confusing. Death takes some who have contributed so much to our world years before they should go and has conversely vouchsafed a long life for evil people who cause harm and pain. Death is a reminder to us that our lives are fragile, and people are ephemeral. Death is a teacher whose lessons should be making us kinder people who are all in this existence together. Death is a part of living. If we are listening to the lessons it teaches us and to the people who have left us, then we know death is just a change in presence. Those we love never really leave us. Death is a transference of energy, and our job is to preserve the lessons for those to come.

THE POLITICAL GRAVEYARD Of all the election cycles in U.S. history, this one might mark the nadir of public respect for politicians. General sentiment seems to be that current ofﬁce seekers (or holders) couldn’t sink much lower without ending up six feet under—which, of course, will happen eventually no matter how things go at the ballot box. If you’re sick to death of politics, take a stroll through The Political Graveyard (politicalgraveyard.com), politicalgraveyard.com which logs where more than 200,000 U.S. politicians are buried. Billed as “The Internet’s Most Comprehensive Source of U.S. Political Biography,” the website is a trove of information on politicians going back to the Founding Fathers. It’s also a monument to meticulousness, with dozens of categories searchable by geography, cemetery, ofﬁce or election, cause of death, demography, occupation… you name it, The Political Graveyard has probably annotated it. Created in 1996 and maintained by Lawrence Kestenbaum— clerk of Washtenaw County, Michigan—TPG is continually updated as politicians sluff their mortal coils, which is kind of comforting in a way. Nothing, not even lawmakers, lasts forever —Zach Hagadone
