EDITOR’S NOTE TURNING THE PAGE ON 2016 IS A GIFT ITSELF It’s hard not to agree 2016 has been the kind of year you’re happy to consign to history and move on from. Between police shootings, terror attacks, the Zika virus scare, dire climate warnings, worsening conditions in Syria, and the shocks of Brexit and the election of Donald Trump as president of the United States, we endured the almost weekly deaths of some of our most beloved cultural icons. As satirist John Oliver, of HBO’s Last Week Tonight, put it in his Nov. 13 broadcast: “Fuck you 2016.” One solace may be that the final weeks of this, in Oliver’s words, “uncommonly shitty year” include ample opportunities to circle with friends and family in a spirit of mutual appreciation and togetherness. Of course, expressing love for one another in the form of gifts is a big part of the holiday season. As such, it’s time once more for our annual Gift Guide. Inserted in this week’s edition of Boise Weekly, you’ll find 32 glossy pages of gift ideas from local merchants perfect for neighbors, co-workers, loved ones and anyone else whose sparkling personality landed them on your list this year. In the waning days of a harrowing turn of the calendar such as this, it’s more important than ever to give with your whole heart, not just your checkbook. Speaking of which, we’re closing in on Hungry Bowls at the Grove Plaza. Now in its 19th year, the event helps fill bellies as well as do a lot of good for those in the community struggling with food insecurity. Freelance writer Sami Edge profiled Hungry Bowls and its work on Page 16. Of course, we couldn’t avoid politics if we tried. On Page 6, Boise Weekly intern Alexandra Nelson delved into the funding disparity between Boise State University and the University of Idaho and, on Page 7, I took a look what might be the first U.S.-Canada trade dispute faced by Donald Trump when he is inaugurated in January 2017. Speaking of future events, we’ll be closing BWHQ early for Thanksgiving Thursday, Nov. 24-Friday, Nov. 25 to enjoy the holiday. We hope you do the same. —Zach Hagadone

OPINION IRON AND RUST
Coming to grips with a Donald Trump presidency Z ACH HAGADONE I’ve spent the past week or so trying to wrap my head around the election of Donald Trump as the 45th president of the United States. As hard as I try, I can’t come up with a coherent perspective. The largest part of me is instinctively repelled by the bald antagonism of his campaign, which contained almost nothing consistent with what anyone of good conscience could align with our loftier ideals as a country, let alone common decency. That’s not a political argument, it’s a pure human reaction. Donald Trump is not a person I would want to be seated next to on a plane, standing behind in line at a grocery store or stuck in an elevator with. His arrogance, mean-spiritedness and naked aggression make him someone I would take pains to avoid at a party. I wouldn’t let my children spend time in his company. A smaller part of me, the part that majored in history in college, recoils at what we know happens when leaders with a deconstructionist agenda are installed. Wreckers of institutions seldom achieve the totality of their agenda, but they always do at least some grievous damage. At the core of Trump’s ideology is a howling nihilism that transcends politics. It’s a sneering negation of empathy, a self-centered obsession with shortterm gain and the rejection of complex thinking as weak or suspect. Trump is the amygdala gone wild, fueled by an insatiable need to tear down anything that might present cognitive dissonance. Like Commodus, the second-century Roman emperor who succeeded his father, philosopher king Marcus Aurelius—the latter widely considered among the most intellectual and effective emperors in Roman history—Trump is a showman. Commodus killed preselected opponents in the Roman Coliseum to roars of public approval. Trump fired people on Celebrity Apprentice to the delight of millions of weekly viewers. Commodus believed he was Hercules reincarnated. Trump believes his superlatives encompass business acumen, fashion sense, sex appeal and oratory—“I know words. I have the best words.” Both used ostentation to cover lack of substance, bombast to stand in for strength, and Commodus turned Rome’s “empire of gold” into one of “iron and rust,” as Cassius Dio wrote at the time. Still another part of me understands how Trump was elected. Rural communities have been left behind economically, and income inequality gaps are actually wider today than at any time since the Gilded Age (by some counts, it’s even worse). Our infrastructure is failing at a rate embarrassing among industrialized nations. Our health care system, despite historic efforts toward reform, doesn’t work for a great many of us. Fears for the future and resentment held BOISE WEEKLY.COM
toward political, financial and media elites by broad swaths of Americans are real, justified and go back decades. However, fed on a diet of hyper-partisan, factually dubious and—thanks to our social media-driven consciousness—nearconstant rhetoric, these reasonably felt grievances have morphed into a noxious stew of nativism, isolationism, racism, misogyny and general intolerance masquerading as “conservatism.” It’s far from conservative. It’s radical. It rejects incrementalism, looks askance at balanced judgement and fears compromise as signifying a lack of will. Attacks on “political correctness” in this environment are more often than not cloaked justifications for denying the common rights of those who look, live or think differently. In the glare of Trump’s demagoguery, we may be witnessing the heat death of large-scale community feeling in this country, and those who fear his presidency, even if they weren’t specifically targeted by him during the campaign, are right to do so. Yet one more part of me feels like I shouldn’t worry too much. Admittedly, this is a small part; still, it’s there. It tells me the forces that helped propel Trump to the White House have been a feature not only of the makeup up of the United States, but human civilization as a whole, since the beginning. Beyond a divide between our political parties, we’re experiencing a resurgence of tribalism in our society. Identity politics, not the politics of Republicans or Democrats, defined this election cycle and, while they may have played well on the campaign trail, they are no basis for governance. While there is nothing “normal” about the ascension of Trump to global leadership—and any attempt to say so is naive at best and dangerous at worst—all I can hope for is the complexities of his office will necessarily temper Trump’s (many) lesser instincts. The signs aren’t great this will happen. Already Trump has surrounded himself with personalities who hitherto ruled empires of disaffected commenters in the bitterest depths of the internet, but I can’t conceive someone like Steve Bannon—the virulent racist, anti-semitic, homophobic and misogynistic ex-president of alt-right “news” site breitbart.com, whom Trump appointed chief strategist on Nov. 14—will last long in the corridors of power. I’m not entirely sure Trump will find himself equal to the job after a year or two. I hope (maybe against hope), that he’ll find his eliminationist policy ideas and personal brand of outrageous offense and hyperbolic petulence don’t serve anyone—not even himself. Which, like Commodus before him, is the axis on which his worldview turns. Otherwise, our empire of “iron and rust” may be closer than we think. BOISEweekly | NOVEMBER 16–22, 2016 | 5

PURSE STRING TUG OF WAR
Developers want to bring Housing First to this site near Fairview Avenue and 23rd Street.
HOUSING FIRST (AND FOREMOST) To be clear, the program is called Housing “First,” not Housing “Only.” “It doesn’t do you any good to have a building for housing if you don’t have services,” said city of Boise spokesman Mike Journee. “Conversely, it doesn’t do you any good to have the services if you don’t have a building.” What’s more, Housing First, the Treasure Valley’s most ambitious effort to date to combat homelessness, is not a Boise “only” initiative. “On a personal level, this is the most complicated thing I’ve ever worked on,” said Diana Lachiondo who, as director of Community Partnerships for the city, has shepherded her share of complicated initiatives. “From a project level, Housing First is unique in the number of different entities that had to align.” Those entities include Ada County, the Idaho Housing and Finance Association, and the Saint Alphonsus and St. Luke’s health systems. Together, they announced this week the Housing First effort had reached a “critical milestone,” pointing to a possible 2017 start for the program that would include a single-site residence for up to 40 homeless individuals and/or families, complete with supportive services including health care, mental health counseling, substance abuse treatment and even financial counseling. In particular, Housing First will concentrate on those people who are considered Treasure Valley’s chronically homeless—meaning they either have a disabling condition, have been continuously homeless for a year or more, or have had at least four episodes of homelessness in the past three years. While community leaders say Housing First is a proven model in other U.S. cities, it is still unchartered territory for the Treasure Valley. “We’ve never done this before,” said Lachiondo. “We set out a vision last February, but the reality was never a given.” Lachiondo’s boss, Boise Mayor Dave Bieter, stood before an audience Feb. 9 and detailed the plan to many who would become partners in the endeavor. At the time, he described it as a two-pronged approach to fighting homelessness: a permanent housing solution for the chronically homeless along with so-called “wrap around” services, i.e. health care and counseling. “Creating Housing First options is an 7 investment in breaking this reactive cycle and a step toward proactive efforts that 6 | NOVEMBER 16–22, 2016 | BOISEweekly
Bronco student leaders to begin Statehouse lobbying for fair funding between Boise State and U of I ALE X ANDRA NEL SON The Broncos vs. Vandals rivalry, played out on basketball courts and football fields for decades, is nothing compared to the competition for public dollars at the Idaho Statehouse. Idaho’s two largest public universities face off each spring before the Legislature’s budget-writing committee; and Boise State officials claim they have been shorted more than $52 million annually in favor of their Moscow counterparts. The budgetary tug of war is practically written into Gem State history. Since U of I was conceived as Idaho’s only land-grant university in 1889, much of the funding from the Legislature has been weighted heavily in favor of the Moscow campus. Boise State, meanwhile, began as Boise Junior College in 1934 and began handing out bachelor’s and master’s degrees in 1965. Even now, according to a 2016-2017 state budget analysis, Boise State receives only 63 percent of the funding U of I does on a per-student basis. Despite that deep divide, Boise State officials insist that when it comes to the funding dispute, they don’t want to intensify the rivalry. “This is not an us vs. them issue, because we value higher education across the board. I want to make that perfectly clear,” said Josh Scholer, student lobbyist for the Associated Students of Boise State University. That said, Boise State President Dr. Bob Kustra still expressed frustration over the $52 million gap. “There are substantial dollars left on the table, so to speak, from over the years, and I don’t know how to get them,” Kustra said. “I just don’t think that money is ever going to be recovered.” The most recent budget analysis revealed U of I received $9,257 in state funding per fulltime enrollment (FTE) student, whereas Boise State received only $5,828. When multiplied by Boise State’s 15,433 FTE students, that $3,433 difference adds up fast. If both universities were funded the same amount per student, Boise State would receive
more than $52 million in additional annual funding. Taking graduate students into account, that number swells to more than $92 million. “Over the years we get farther and farther behind,” said Kustra. Blake Youde, chief Communications and Legislative Affairs officer for the Idaho State Board of Education, blames the combination of the 2008 recession and the current enrollmentbased funding system for the uneven levels of state support. Under current guidelines, Idaho public universities receive a predetermined amount of base funding, along with an allotment of the socalled Enrollment Workload Adjustment. “When the economy takes a downturn we see an increase in enrollment and vice versa,” said Youde. “What happened over the last few years is that the state didn’t have the revenues available to fund the calculations for the EWA.” When functioning properly, the EWA provides funding based on the number of enrolled students and is updated on a three-year rolling average. However, according to Youde, that EWA funding has not been updated since the 2008 recession. The result, he said, is that public universities are being funded based on an old formula, leaving institutions like Boise State, which have seen rapid enrollment increases, significantly underfunded. “While K-12 has now been funded up to 2009 levels, higher education has not,” said Youde.
One solution, he said, would be to switch from the EWA to another funding method— specifically, outcomes-based funding. That method funds public universities based on output of graduates rather than enrollment levels. Most important, it would be based on current numbers. Kustra said he is in favor of outcomes-based funding as long as the outcomes make sense. That said, Kustra worries about what he sees as possible roadblocks that could be thrown up by U of I and other universities competing for the same dollars. “One important question will be this: Are all the universities, their presidents and their lobbyists, in full support of this plan? And can we all agree that no one university will try to kill it by going directly to legislators and suggesting that it’s not a high priority with them? It must be the highest priority for all the universities,” he said, “and that is still to be determined.” Meanwhile, ASBSU, Boise State’s student government, is following Kustra’s lead. The governing body has voted unanimously to establish a “new platform on higher education,” stating its intention is to “call upon the Idaho Legislature to increase investment in higher education which benefits all Idahoans.” “It’s not ‘fund us more’, it’s ‘fund us equitably’” said Scholer. Kustra advised ASBSU to “focus on the future” and make the success of the 7 outcomes-based funding program its main goal. BOISE WEEKLY.COM
NEWS SOFT WOOD, HARD PROBLEM
The first U.S.-Canada trade dispute Donald Trump might face affects Idaho Z ACH HAGADONE
RYAN JOHNSON
Among the stated goals of President-elect Donald Trump has been the renegotiation of, or withdrawal from, a number of international trade deals. When news of his election victory over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spread around the world Nov. 8, financial markets were in an uproar and trading partners like Canada and Mexico started to fret. In the hours and days following Trump’s win, markets stabilized and even gained ground. Still, as economists struggle to forecast what a Trump presidency will mean for global trade, one agreement at the heart of a long simmering trade dispute with Canada is already hanging in the balance. How it is resolved—or not—will have an impact on Idaho. According to a University of Idaho analysis, the sales value of the forest products industry in Idaho was estimated at $3.5 billion in 2013 and directly employed more than 10,500 workers. Exports supported another 9,000 positions via indirect employment. Jobs in the sector pay well: 27 percent higher than the state average across all other industries. Those jobs have long been imperiled by trade policies that allow Canadian timber companies to undercut U.S. competitors. In 1995, shortly after passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement, it was estimated Canadian softwood lumber—the type of wood used to build homes, for instance—accounted
for 39 percent of the U.S. market. Policymakers blamed subsidies offered by the Canadian government that allowed its producers to pay fully three times less per million board feet than those in Idaho, Oregon and Washington. Exacerbated by other factors like increasing technology, the influx of below market-priced Canadian lumber helped devastate the timber industries in the Northwest in the 1990s and early 2000s. In 2003, NAFTA officials approved U.S. tariffs on Canadian softwood—a move that was applauded by then-Congressman C.L. “Butch” Otter, who represented Idaho in the House. Three years later, the parties agreed in 2006 to the so-called Softwood Lumber Agreement. The SLA, which was renewed for two years in 2013, refunded $4 billion in U.S. anti-dumping and countervailing duties and divvied up another $1 billion between the feds and the forestry industry. It also established an export charge to be paid
“I think when you get right down to it, what students are going to have to do is not necessarily make the narrow case that ‘we’re here because this is good for Boise State’ but that ‘we’re here because we’re students, and because we pay tuition, and because we expect public higher education in Idaho to be cost effective, and to be the very best at the allocation and expenditure of resources,’” he said. Scholer said he’s unwilling to give up and move on from the funding gap, and he wants students to advocate for reimbursement of at least a portion of the funds he claims Boise State has been shorted. “Asking the Idaho Legislature for $52 million is equivalent to pulling a tooth out that is not ready to come out yet,” said Scholer. “It’s just not likely to happen, and it’s a painful process. But we understand that, and that’s why we’re not going to be protesting. We’re going to sit down and 6

by Canadian producers should prices fall below a given level and barred the U.S. from filing any further anti-dumping cases. Those provisions expired on Oct. 13, 2015 and, more than a year later, no agreement has been put in place to alter or renew them. In a letter headed by U.S. Sens. Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) and Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), 18 other senators from both political parties pressed President Barack Obama on Oct. 21 to act on a commitment with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to secure a new agreement that would stabilize trade policies regarding softwood lumber. “Only this type of agreement will allow U.S. lumber mills the opportunity to compete fairly in our own market and to make the investments necessary to grow the domestic industry to its natural levels of production and employment,” they wrote, concluding, “Hundreds of thousands of U.S. jobs and thousands of U.S. rural communities depend on fairness in trade in softwood lumber. That is why we will continue to urge you, and any future Administration, to seek a fair, effective, and sustainable agreement with Canada on softwood lumber trade.” While Obama has made clear his desire for some kind of SLA, it is widely regarded as unlikely the issue will be resolved before his successor is inaugurated in January 2017— potentially making it the first U.S.-Canada trade issue Trump will face. Meanwhile, the president-elect’s staunch protectionism has aroused fears that trade disputes between the close neighbors may become the new norm. According to an Oct. 26 report from Reuters regarding the absence of a new SLA, U.S. Lumber Coalition Chairman Charlie Thomas said, “the U.S. industry will eventually have no choice but to use our rights under U.S. trade laws to offset the unfair advantages provided to Canadian industry.” That could lead to the kind of escalation that experts say can result in trade wars. “If we were to stumble into a trade war,” said U of I economist Steve Anderson, “we have no way of knowing how disruptive that would be to industries inside Idaho.”
have these difficult conversations and, hopefully, we’ll get somewhere.” When asked about ASBSU’s chances of success, Youde said he was “not going to try to predict the Legislature.” However, he did add that the Idaho State Board of Education would be behind ASBSU’s efforts to increase funding for higher education in general and would be happy to have a student organization’s “voice and insight.” “I understand ASBSU’s point [about the funding gap’s unfairness] completely, because BSU has grown in enrollment at a higher rate than other schools,” said Youde. “Student activity in the public process to advocate for their college or university is outstanding. It shows pride and concern within the student body, and that’s something that the Idaho State Board of Education wants to encourage. We welcome ASBSU’s resolution and think it’s great to have them involved.”
City of Boise officials highlight the net positive fiscal impact of Housing First.
will save money and lives,” said Bieter. That amount of money involved is substantial. Bieter was armed with a just-finished study compiled by Boise State University analyst Vanessa Fry, which revealed Treasure Valley costs— including jail, court and medical expenses—for the chronically homeless topped $5.3 million annually. Compare that, the study concluded, to the approximate $1.6 million in annual expenses for a proposed Housing First effort. “We’re a very compassionate, generous community, and people understand the moral case for this,” said Lachiondo. “But the fiscal case, I believe, is what has gotten us to where we are today.” The city of Boise has committed to $1 million, along with $500,000 and $5.8 million of low-income housing tax incentives from the IHFA, to fund what will be called the “New Path Community Housing” project, to be built on what is currently a vacant lot on Fairview Avenue and 23rd Street. “It’s not as if we said we wanted that particular parcel of land,” said Lachiondo. “We put out a request for proposal, but it would be up to a proposed developer to identify a possible site. And the developer we chose now owns that parcel.” The developer is Boise Pacific NIHC Associates, a joint venture whose principal partners have more than four decades of experience in affordable housing projects across the U.S. If all goes as planned, the developers will submit to a series of planning and zoning and design review hearings at Boise City Hall. “It’s really important that citizens will have their say on this project,” said Lachiondo. As for the supportive services costs, Ada County has contributed $250,000, Saint Al’s and St. Luke’s have each kicked in $100,000, and $25,000 in contributions have come from the United Way of the Treasure Valley and the Laura Moore Cunningham Foundation. “And right now, Ada County is right in the middle of negotiating with Terry Reilly Health Services to help make those supportive services happen,” said Journee. “If all goes as planned, we’ll break ground on the building next spring and the supportive services will be in place by the time we open. Who knows? By this time next year, we may be ready to go.” 6

THE CABIN HOSTS AUTHOR COLUM MCCANN
PRAY FOR SNOW WINTER ALE FESTIVAL 2016
WINTRY MARKET
Irish-born author Colum McCann has written six novels and three short story collections; one of them, Let the Great World Spin, won him the National Book Award in 2009 and the prestigious International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award. Stunning and immersive, his books have the rare ability to help readers be someone they’re not, inhabiting beautifully drawn, vividly human characters amid epic backdrops—from Frederick Douglass during his trip to Ireland in Transatlantic to a lonely female soldier standing guard on an Afghan mountain top in his 2015 collection of short stories, Thirteen Ways of Looking. The author will speak at the Egyptian Theatre as part of The Cabin’s Readings and Conversations series. It’s an event not to be missed. 7:30 p.m. $25-$35. Egyptian Theatre, 700 W. Main St., 208-345-0454, 208-387-1273. thecabinidaho.org/event/colummccann.
Even though the official start of winter is about a month away, there’s snow time like the present to start praying for a powdery one. For the fourth year, Tom Grainey’s hosts the Pray for Snow Winter Ale Fest—a blizzardy bacchanal of food, drink and entertainment. Like beer? How about suds from more than 40 breweries. Love whiskey? Sample labels like Jameson, Four Roses and Jack Daniels. Fancy a smoke? Sturman’s Smokeshop will be on site with a cigar tent. If all that booze makes you want to get down, there will be three DJs spinning tunes. Of course, all that drinking and dancing works up an appetite. No worry: a raft of local food trucks will be slinging food. As if that wasn’t enough, the festival also features a snowboard and ski rail jam, snow sport vendors and reps from three Idaho ski resorts. If that doesn’t get the snow gods’ attention, nothing will. 2-8 p.m., $25. Republic Parking Lot, Fifth and Grove streets. brownpapertickets.com/event/2706557.
Gift giving isn’t just shouldering past thronging crowds to snap up an overpriced piece of gadgetry. It’s an art. In the spirit of artful giving, beat feet to the sixth annual Wintry Market, where 67 makers and artists will set up shop for two days at El Korah Shrine in downtown Boise. From jewelry to cards, books to clothing, fine art, illustration, body care products, confections and more, every item is a piece of indie art or handmade craft in this feast of quirky, high-quality, original options for brightening your loved ones’ holidays. Even better, it’s a local affair, meaning you’re really giving three gifts when you purchase at Wintry: your chosen recipient wins, local businesses win and, by keeping your dollars local, you win, too. Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; Sunday, 10 a.m.-3 p.m.; FREE. El Korah Shrine, 1118 W. Idaho St., 208-343-0571, wintrymarket.com.

MIKE DOUGHTY, NOV. 16, RECORD EXCHANGE Not even 50 years old, singer-songwriter Mike Doughty has done more in one lifetime than some of us could accomplish in two or three. From 1992 to 2000, Doughty was the vocalist/guitarist for Soul Coughing, a band known for its mix of Doughty’s poetic stream-of-consciousness lyrics bathed in alt-rock, hip-hop, experimental jazz and noise. During those same eight years, Doughty fought heroin and opiate addiction as well as his bandmates, arguing over publishing royalties and songwriting credits. In the 16 years since Soul Coughing broke up, Doughty has recorded an astounding 18 albums and EPs, and even wrote a memoir of his years with Soul Coughing and heroin, The Book of Drugs (De Capo Press, 2010). The prolific artist’s most recent release, The Heart Watches While the Brain Burns (Snackbar, Oct. 2016), is still hot off the press and his in-store appearance at Record Exchange is his only Boise show on this tour. —Amy Atkins 6 p.m., FREE.

Hailing from Denver, six-piece Paper Bird keeps good company. The band has toured with fellow Coloradans The Lumineers and Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, as well as Hall and Oates, Shakey Graves, and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. Now on the road behind its September release Paper Bird (Reimagined), Boise audiences will get a chance to hear what the Colorado Springs Gazette called the band’s “new rock sound.” Among the tracks on the new album, “Parade” is a standout, opening with a wordless warble that borders on celestial, then builds to a low-simmering song-story about love and loss that showcases the crystalline vocals of new member Carleigh Aikins. There’s a country lilt to much of Paper Bird, but it’s cut with an alt-folk crunchiness that lands it in rock territory (the band itself says it draws inspiration from Fleetwood Mac). “To The Light,” which opens Paper Bird, is an apt example, with the heavy bass groove of its intro descending into a head-bobbing beat featuring Aikins’ vocals underpinned with bright guitar picking. The result is a strutting earworm we can’t wait to hear live. —Zach Hagadone With The Ballroom Thieves; 7 p.m.; $10 adv., $12 door. The Olympic, 1009 Main St., 208-342-0176, theolympicboise.com.

Loving comes at precisely the right moment in our history GEORGE PRENTICE Imagine a challenge so daunting that, even if you were to lose everything, you would still cling to faith in the future for the United States. Too soon? Take heart, America. Better yet, take Loving, a powerful yet gentle film that reminds us how far we’ve come while cautioning how far we still have to go. There is no fire nor brimstone in Loving’s sermon—it is the simplest of love stories, yet its testament rings loud and strong, making it not just essential viewing for any discerning moviegoer, but also the perfect elixir for this moment in our history, when we question our national destiny. On June 2, 1958, U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower was enjoying a relatively peaceful second term in the White House, moviegoers were having a grand ol’ time guffawing at Andy Griffith in No Time for Sergeants and Loving is, by any measure, a love story more than a history lesson. much of the nation was listening to The Everly Brothers sing “All I Have to Do Is Dream” on the radio.

BEERGUZZLER Wine is fine, but if beer is what’s near and dear, here’s a trio of brews that will work well with Thanksgiving turkey and all the trimmings. All three are from Belgium, all three have a bit of that intriguing Belgian funk, and all three have a food-friendly crispness—a balanced acidity that helps cleanse the palate between bites. They’re a bit pricey, but hey, it’s the holidays. BOUKET FARMHOUSE ALE, $5-$6.50 Brewed by Belgium’s De Proef in collaboration with Massachusetts’ Trillum Brewing, this straw colored pour throws a thick, egg-white head. The aromas are hoppier than you might expect, and are complemented by bright citrus, pepper and a touch of Brett funk. Nicely balanced, the hops are more reserved on the pleasantly tart palate, with lovely notes of pepper and spice. CUVEE DES JACOBINS ROUGE, $6-$7.50 A thin, tan head covers this ruby tinged brew. It’s filled with tart cherry and cranberry aromas and a hint of brown sugar. On the palate, this Flemish sour lives up to its name with bold, sour fruit flavors (apple and cherry) that stick around. It really wants to be paired with food. A nice kiss of oak comes through on the finish. ORVAL TRAPPIST ALE, $5.50-$7 A hazy amber in the glass, it’s topped by an explosive, three-finger head (caution is advised when you pop the top). A complex array of aromas greets the nose with plum, apple, caramel, banana bread and the requisite touch of Belgian funk. The palate is filled with spicy fruit; just the right hit of tangy, foodfriendly citrus; and a bit of pepper. Outstanding. —David Kirkpatrick 16 | NOVEMBER 16–22, 2016 | BOISEweekly

Empty Bowls celebrates 19 years of giving back on Black Friday SAMI EDGE The thought of long lines on Black Friday might conjure images of a jam-packed mall or a pre-dawn big box store stakeout. A long line snaking from the Grove Plaza in downtown Boise on Friday, Nov. 25 will actually signify the consumer holiday’s antithesis: giving back. Empty Bowls, a fundraiser for the Idaho Foodbank, has been a Black Friday tradition for the past 19 years. The event offers the public a chance to buy a one-of-a-kind bowl and fill it with delicious soup donated by local restaurants. The bowls cost $10 a piece and proceeds go toward helping Idahoans in need. The event gets packed each year, with lines frequently extending from the Grove Plaza and around the block. That’s kind of the Hungry Bowls will feature more than 3,000 hand-decorated bowls for sale at the 19th annual event. point, said Idaho Foodbank Public Relations Coordinator Mike Sharp.

CITIZEN BRUCE GREEN
Whole Foods team leader on food, glorious food GEORGE PRENTICE
Bruce Green began working in the grocery industry as a high-schooler in 1973 and, with the exception of a couple of brief stops along the way as a lumberjack and laborer at a nuclear power plant, he has worked much of his life as a grocer—including nearly 19 years with Whole Foods. “This will be my 41st Thanksgiving in the grocery business, four of them in Boise,” he said, standing amid crowds of shoppers at the Boise Whole Foods who were already filling their baskets for the Thanksgiving season. Green has been the so-called “team leader” at Idaho’s only Whole Foods since it opened on Broadway Avenue on Nov. 14, 2013. Taking a respite from his managerial role, Green sat down with Boise Weekly to talk about the food business, the holiday season and finding great employees.
curement team partnered with the Idaho Department of Ag to bring in a lot of regional producers.
What brought you to Boise? I had worked for Whole Foods, primarily in Colorado, for quite some time; but years ago I told our regional president that if there was ever a Boise store, that’s where my wife and I wanted to live. They almost moved forward with the store in 2008 but then the recession came through. Ultimately, they came to me in 2010 and said they were going to open in Boise.
Can I assume you have a playbook for the 72 hours leading up to Thanksgiving? Much of our work is done in the 10 days before Thanksgiving. We’re going to get 1,500 to 2,000 turkeys delivered here. But Thanksgiving can be like our playoffs. Honestly, it’s an easier game because people are looking toward that one big meal. The challenge builds as people begin entertaining the two weeks before Christmas and then New Year’s. There’s goose, pork crown roast, lamb, prime rib, ham, turducken…
What’s the secret to hiring and keeping good people? Hire attitude and teach the skills. We’ve hired a lot of people with no experience in the grocery business, but you can do so much with the right attitude. Experience in grocery? It’s a bonus, but not necessary. We have a lot of originals here, but a lot of young people who started in this store have asked for opportunities with Whole Foods in other parts of the U.S. I know that bringing a national brand to Boise is challenging because our city is isolated from other major metropolitan areas. How does that impact your distribution channels? We’re about equal distance from our Denver and Seattle distribution centers. If the weather is tricky in one direction versus the other, we’ll place orders from the alternate location. And local producers? We have about 170 local vendors. Our proBOISE WEEKLY.COM
Is your culture any different for those vendors who have had relationships with traditional grocers for years? We’re always visiting farms and packaging facilities. We’ve got pretty high animal compassion standards, so we work with a lot of local folks to help them with their own animal compassion guidelines. And Whole Foods has been a part of the national conversation on GMOs. Last year, our company gave all of our suppliers five years to complete GMO labeling. Some thought that was a long time, but it’s a big deal.
Wait, a minute—turducken? I thought that was a novelty item. I remember John Madden joking about turducken on Thanksgiving football broadcasts in the 1990s. Yes, we make turducken [chicken stuffed into a duck stuffed into a turkey]. We get quite a few orders for turducken. A lot of people aren’t thrilled with the idea of cooking a turkey, let alone a turducken. Pre-cooked meals are big sellers, yes? More and more customers don’t want their fridges filled, or ovens for that matter. Many of them pick up their meals at our holiday table. We’re even open Thanksgiving Day to accommodate that. What’s the simplest turkey alternative? The night before Thanksgiving is probably our biggest pizza night of the year. It’s easy and definitely not turkey. BOISEweekly | NOVEMBER 16–22, 2016 | 17

holiday bazaars HOLIDAY BAZAARS ARE COMING! ADVERTISE YOURS IN THE BOISE WEEKLY!
FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): There is a 97 percent chance that you will not engage in the following activities within the next 30 days: naked skydiving, tight-rope walking between two skyscrapers, getting drunk on a mountaintop, taking ayahuasca with Peruvian shamans in a remote rural hut or dancing ecstatically in a muddy pit of snakes. However, I suspect you will be involved in almost equally exotic exploits—although less risky ones— that will require you to summon more pluck and improvisational skill than you knew you had. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The Onion, my favorite news source, reported that, “it’s perfectly natural for people to fantasize about sandwiches other than the one currently in their hands.” You shouldn’t feel shame, the article said, if you’re enjoying a hoagie but suddenly feel an inexplicable yearning for a BLT or pastrami on rye. While I appreciate this reassuring counsel, I don’t think it applies to you in the coming weeks. In my opinion, you have a sacred duty to be unwaveringly faithful, both in your imagination and your actual behavior—as much for your own sake as for others’. I advise you to cultivate an up-to-date affection for and commitment to what you actually have, and not indulge in obsessive fantasies about “what ifs.”
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I hesitate to deliver the contents of this horoscope without a disclaimer. Unless you are an extremely ethical person with a vivid streak of empathy, you might be prone to abuse the information I’m about to present. So please ignore it unless you can responsibly employ the concepts of benevolent mischief and tricky blessings and cathartic shenanigans. Ready? Here’s your oracle: Now is a favorable time for grayer truths, wilder leaps of the imagination, more useful bullshit, funnier enigmas and more outlandish stories seasoned with crazy wisdom. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Kavachi is an underwater volcano in the southwest Pacific Ocean. It erupts periodically and, in general, makes the surrounding water so hot and acidic that human divers must avoid it. Yet some hardy species live there, including crabs, jellyfish, stingrays and sharks. What adaptations and strategies enable them to thrive in such an extreme environment? Scientists don’t know. I’m going to draw a comparison between you and the resourceful creatures living near Kavachi. In the coming weeks, I bet you’ll flourish in circumstances that normal people might find daunting. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Seventeenth-century British people used the now-obsolete word “firk-
20 | NOVEMBER 16–22, 2016 | BOISEweekly
tytoodle.” It meant “cuddling and snuggling accompanied by leisurely experiments in smooching, fondling, licking and sweet dirty talk.” The coming weeks will be prime time for you to carry out extensive experiments in this activity. But here’s an interesting question: Will the near future also be a favorable phase for record levels of orgasmic release? The answer: maybe, but if and only if you pursue firkytoodle as an end in itself; if and only if you relish the teasing and playing as if they were ultimate rewards, and don’t relegate them to being merely preliminary acts for pleasures that are supposedly bigger and better. P.S. These same principles apply not just to your intimate connections, but to everything else in your life, as well. Enjoying the journey is as important as reaching a destination. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Here’s an experiment worth trying: Reach back into the past to find a remedy for what’s bugging you now. In other words, seek out on an old, perhaps even partially forgotten influence to resolve a current dilemma that has resisted your efforts to master it. This is one time when it may make good sense to temporarily resurrect a lost dream. You could energize your future by drawing inspiration from possibilities that might have been but never were.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): By the time he died at 87 in 1983, free thinker Buckminster Fuller had licensed his inventions to more than 100 companies. But, along the way, he often had to be patient as he waited for the world to be ready for his visionary creations. He was ahead of his time, dreaming up things that would be needed before anyone knew they’d be needed. I encourage you to be like him in the coming weeks, Libra. Try to anticipate the future. Generate possibilities that people are not yet ripe to accept but will eventually be ready to embrace.
Siri Hustvedt. The good news, Sagittarius, is that in recent weeks your personal ghosts have been discoursing at length. They have offered their interpretation of your life’s central mysteries and have provided twists on old stories you thought you had all figured out. The bad news is that they don’t seem to want to shut up. Also, less than 25 percent of what they have been asserting is actually true or useful. Here’s the fantastic news: Those ghosts have delivered everything you need to know for now, and will obey if you tell them to take an extended vacation.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Does the word “revolution” have any useful meaning? Or has it been invoked by so many fanatics with such melodramatic agendas that it has lost its value? In accordance with your astrological omens, I suggest we give it another chance. I think it deserves a cozy spot in your life during the next few months. As for what exactly that entails, let’s call on author Rebecca Solnit for inspiration. She says, “I still think the [real] revolution is to make the world safe for poetry, meandering, for the frail and vulnerable, the rare and obscure, the impractical and local and small.”
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In the film Bruce Almighty, Morgan Freeman plays the role of God and Capricorn actor Jim Carrey is a frustrated reporter named Bruce Nolan. After Nolan bemoans his rocky fate and blames it on God’s ineptitude, the Supreme Being reaches out by phone. (His number is 716-7762323.) A series of conversations and negotiations ensues, leading Nolan on roller-coaster adventures that ultimately result in a mostly happy ending. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you Capricorns will have an unusually high chance of making fruitful contact with a Higher Power or Illuminating Source in the coming weeks. I doubt that 716-776-2323 is the right contact information. If you trust your intuition, I bet you’ll make the connection.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “We all have ghosts inside us, and it’s better when they speak than when they don’t,” wrote author
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Some spiders are both construction workers and artists. The webs they spin are not just strong and functional, but also feature decorative elements called “stabilimenta.” These may be as simple as zigzags or as complex as spiral whorls. Biologists say the stabilimenta draw prey to specific locations, help the spider hide, and render the overall stability of the web more robust. As you enter the web-building phase of your cycle, Aquarius, I suggest that you include your own version of attractive stabilimenta. Your purpose, of course, is not to catch prey, but to bolster your network and invigorate your support system. Be artful as well as practical. (Thanks to Mother Nature Network’s Jaymi Heimbuch for info on stabilimenta.) PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Aren’t there parts of ourselves that are just better left unfed?” asked Piscean author David Foster Wallace. I propose that we make that one of your two keynotes during the next four weeks. Here’s a second keynote: As you become more and more skilled at not fueling the parts of yourself that are better left unfed, you will have a growing knack for identifying the parts of yourself that should be well-fed. Feed them with care and artistry.

DEAR MINERVA, I’m a straight, white dude. I am struggling with what to call my friends who don’t seem to identify as the sex they were born. I don’t want to offend anyone, so can you tell me what the difference is between transvestite, transsexual, shemale and transgender. It’s confusing to me. —Trying to Get It
DEAR TRYING, Language can be daunting around gender. Here is the best way I can sum it up: Transvestite connotes a fetish for dressing as the opposite sex. It tends to be related to sexual pleasure more than gender identity or sexuality. Transsexual describes someone who is undergoing or has undergone gender affirming medical procedures. They are people who identify as a gender other than what was assigned to them at birth or that society associates with their genitalia. Shemale is a pejorative, fetishistic term for transsexuals. Associated with pornography, it’s terribly outdated. Don’t use it. Transgender people have a gender that differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. This term can include transsexuals, gender fluid, agender, bigender and genderqueer people. Whether someone opts for surgical changes to their body is their choice. A great rule of thumb is to open up dialogue with your friends and find out who they are. You’ll find that they will let you know how they see themselves, how you should view them, their pronoun preference and how to address them. 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.

TURKEY AND STUFFING SEASONED KETTLE CHIPS FROM TRADER JOE’S No other creature on earth but the human being could have thought up potato chips—slicing the tuber so fancifully, deep frying and dusting it with seasonings. No chimp, croc or bird could have conceived of such an elegant vessel for empty calories, salt and cholesterol. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, Trader Joe’s now $1.99, Trader Joe’s offers the latest advancement in potato chip technology: Turkey and Stuffing Seasoned Kettle Chips. They’re imbued with all the merits of TJ’s other chips, like long-lasting freshness, a robust texture and pleasing crispiness; but they’re also covered in authentic stuffing flavors like turmeric extract, celery, parsley, sage and thyme. While they’re not a 1:1 match for your grandma’s stuffing recipe, they’re a noble approximation and a fond reminder of the tastes and smells of Thanksgiving—and in a bag, to boot. —Harrison Berry
