As I walked in the newsroom Tuesday morning, News Editor George Prentice asked, “Do you know who Aaron Judge is?” This is a fairly common occurrence: I walk in the newsroom, George asks if I‘ve heard of something/someone and he either gives me a short tutorial if I haven’t or we chat about it if I have. I hadn’t heard of Aaron Judge, so George told me about the 6-foot 7-inch, 282-pound outfielder for the New York Yankees, and the rookie’s outstanding performance—and win—at the 2017 Major League Baseball All-Star Home Run Derby on June 10.

Intrigued, I looked Judge up.

Thanks to Baltimore Sun sports writer Peter Schmuck, I learned Judge made “a 513-foot homer that hit just below the roof in left-center field and also hit a 507-foot shot and a 513foot homer during the All-Star Game” and landed “a Yankees record of 30 homers in the first half of the regular [baseball] season” (he finished with 47). From ESPN Senior Writer Jerry Crasnick, I found out “a baseball card signed by Judge just sold on eBay for more than $14,000.” I discovered from New York Post sports writer Joel Sherman, how proud Judge’s parents Patty and Wayne are of, as Judge’s father calls it, their son’s “magical ride.” I did and will continue to read about the 25-year-old sports phenom, whose talent, skill and humility are mentioned nearly as often as the uncommonness of a baseball player of Judge’s height and weight—and I’ll do so as way to add a sense of equilibrium to news of the detrimental Senate healthcare bill, to counteract the inanity of Donald Trump Jr.’s Twitter feed and to neutralize the rhetoric of Sebastian Gorka and Kellyanne Conway being interviewed by CNN co-anchor Alisyn Camerota.

This is not about trying to find a silver lining. I am realistic. I know the world can be a raging suckfest at times, but I also know nature abhors a vacuum and will insist on some kind of balance.

I will keep reading about how Russia may have interfered with U.S. elections, Kim Jong Un is testing missiles and a group of pilgrims were murdered in Kashmir—but I will also look for stories and updates on the young Yankee who made me smile.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“

JAMES COMEY LEAKED CLASSIFIED INFORMATION TO THE MEDIA. THAT IS SO ILLEGAL!” —President Donald Trump Via Twitter

BLONDIE

MAIL A NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN IDAHO ARE SICK OVER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP’S PROPOSED HEALTH CARE BILL. (Note: The letters below were edited only for formatting.)

I am fiercely opposed to President Trump’s health care proposal because it will affect the health, finances and lives of many Americans.

Mary Dale Boise, ID Trumpcare or the Better Care Reconciliation Bill is a terrible bill for Idaho and its citizens. It takes away medical insurance from 23 million people. It cuts funding of Medicaid by $700 billion and short funds programs in Medicare. It increases premiums for people with pre-existing conditions to the point that medical coverage is out priced for the average person and Idaho has 600,000 citizens with pre-existing conditions. It is extremely hard on rural areas, and Idaho is predominantly rural and will force many to go without coverage and cause the closure of rural hospitals. It cuts funding for organizations that provide reproductive health services for women. With all of its negative points—which is almost

all of the bill and does nothing for the average person except to make health care unaffordable or remove people from their health coverage— it does one thing for the 1 percent of American citizens or super wealthy rich people who really don’t need it any way: gives a tax break. Rob from the poor and give to the rich or transfer wealth from lower and middle class citizens to the 1 percent at the top upper class. This bill should not even be considered in the senate at all, and a bipartisan approach needs to be taken to enhance the law of the land..

Randy Coburn Nampa, ID The GOP Health Care Bill shouldn’t even be called a health care bill. It’s just a massive transfer of wealth from working people to Wall Street. Not only that, but 22 million Americans would lose their insurance under this bill, taking away the necessary care children, seniors and low-income Americans need.

I urge my senators here in Idaho and every senator who hasn’t voted no on this bill to do so. We need health care not wealth care.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced that the [June 29] scheduled vote on the awful GOP health care bill would be postponed until after Independence Day. That is because the GOP doesn’t have enough “yes” vote commitments from members of the party to bring this horrible bill to the Senate floor.

The Senate plan is not a health care bill. It is a massive transfer of wealth from working people to Wall Street. Twentytwo million Americans would lose their insurance under the Senate bill. The Senate bill taxes working people’s health benefits while cutting taxes for millionaires and insurance companies. That’s just wrong.

The Senate bill effectively destroys Medicaid, stripping health care from children, seniors and low-income Americans.

Health insurance is more than a policy, it’s peace of mind. It’s knowing your family will be cared for and not having to worry about going broke when you get sick. That’s why I strongly oppose the Senate health care bill. The more I learn about it, the less I like.

Robbing health care from millions of Americans to give yet another tax cut to the rich and powerful is just plain cruel.

Our health care system needs to be improved—we all agree on that—but this bill would do exactly the opposite, for no other reason than greed. I urge Senators Mike Crapo and James Risch and to vote no on the Senate health care bill.

NEWS FOR RENT

In the wake of record-low vacancy rates, Boise will soon see a flood of new apartments GEORGE PRENTICE RYAN JOH NSON

In The History of the World Part 1, Mel Brooks joked, “It’s good to be the king.” Currently in Boise it is good to be a landlord, and great to be a developer: There are more than a dozen new or in-development housing units in the downtown core alone. More than 1,300 units have been recently completed or are under construction.

The reason for all the development is simple enough: a record-low vacancy rate. According to the Downtown Boise Association, apartment occupancy was 99 percent in 2016.

“A healthy vacancy rate is something around five or six percent. A 10 percent vacancy rate is beneficial to the renters, but a two percent or lower vacancy rate is unhealthy and beneficial to the landlords,” said Diana Lachiondo, Director of Community Partnerships at Boise City Hall. “Right now, we have people applying to 20 or 30 different places and wasting money on application fees, putting themselves in a deeper financial hole. It’s a really bad scenario for renters.”

The best example of the critically low apartment availability is played out every day at Johnson Property Management, one of the largest rental management firms in the Treasure Valley.

“Let’s take a look,” said JPM owner/manager Don Johnson. “I’d say right now we [manage] about 900 rentals: apartments, condos and houses. How many do we have available?”

Johnson walked over to a huge whiteboard with scores of addresses, a big “X” covering most of them. “Today, we’ve got six,” he said. “Yes, you heard me right. Six. Now, we’re in the middle of the month, and things turn over constantly. We’ll turn over about 15 to 20 a month. But a one or two percent vacancy rate is very low.”

Johnson said he’s reserving judgment on how the influx of new rental units will affect the market, but 1,300 new units is a drop in the bucket compared to how many rentals are currently under construction all across Ada County, many of them outside the Boise city limits.

“I keep track of a list from the Ada County Assessor’s office. Take a look at this,” Johnson said

Hate crimes target “race, color, religion, ancestry or national origin.”

NUMBER OF REPORTED HATE CRIMES IN IDAHO JUMPS IN 2016 Most of the news is not good inside the 253-page “Crime in Idaho” report, issued July 3 by the Idaho State Police Bureau of Criminal Identification. It reveals a rise in 2016 in crimes against persons, property and society; a rise in violent crimes; and a whopping 27.3 percent increase in hate crimes in Idaho compared to 2015.

According to Idaho Code 18-7902, which was adopted in 1983, it is unlawful to “intimidate or harass another person because of race, color, religion, ancestry or national origin.” Offenses can be punishable by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine for each occurrence. Law enforcement officers recognize and report hate crime offenses based on “bias-related drawings, markings, symbols or graffiti left at the crime scene,” according to ISP, or “bias-related oral comments, written statements or gestures made by the offender.” Hate crimes can also be triggered by an “incident coinciding with a holiday relating to, or a date of particular significance to, a race, religion, disability, ethnicity or sexual-orientation.”

According to the statistics, 46 percent of reported hate crimes in 2016 involved destruction of property, followed by simple assault (17 percent), intimidation (17 percent) and aggravated assault (14 percent).

Hate crimes targeting black people were 25 percent of the total, with 4 percent targeting Hispanics or Latinos; 18 percent were anti-gay or anti-LGBT; 7 percent targeted members of the Islamic faith; four percent targeted Protestants; and 50 percent of the hate crime victims were female.

The highest number of hate crimes in Idaho during 2016, nearly 18 percent, were reported by the Coeur d’Alene Police Department, followed by the Boise Police Department (11 percent), the Canyon County Sheriff’s Office (11 percent) and the City of Pocatello Police Department (11 percent).

June was the worst month, when 21 percent of all incidents were reported.

—George Prentice 6 | JULY 12–18, 2017 | BOISEweekly

as he pulled out a stack of papers. “Here we have a list of all the units that are in some form of the process of being built.” Johnson flipped to the bottom page. “It’s 5,500.” He looked up, took a deep breath and repeated, “It’s 5,500.”

Johnson, 70, still shows every rental. It’s in his blood. A faded photo on the wall of his office shows him at age 4 standing next to his grandfather, Richard Johnson, who opened Johnson Property Management in 1958.

“My father is still at it,” said Johnson. “He has the oldest broker’s license in Idaho. He’s 92 and he’s still active.”

Also on Johnson’s wall is a framed JPM ledger page, circa 1958, showing rentals ranging from $40 to $45 a month. That’s a far cry from what the U.S. Housing and Urban Development Department today calls “affordable.”

WHAT’S AFFORDABLE? The word “affordable” is often tossed around

when analysts talk about housing markets, but what an economist considers reasonable is exorbitant for some.

‘This is the so-called income ladder that we use when we communicate with our partners in the community,” said AnaMarie Guiles, Housing & Community Development Manager for the city of Boise, pointing to a tall, multi-colored chart titled “2017 Income Guidelines.”

“These numbers are important to help us discuss what our focus is when it comes to housing,” said Guiles.

In a nutshell, here are the critical numbers from the 2017 income guidelines: Boise’s median income for a family of four is $64,300.

There are four main categories: Extremely Low (four-person family with an annual income of $24,600), Very Low (four-person family with an annual income of $32,150), Low (four-person family with an annual income of $51,450) and Workforce (fourperson family with an annual income of $77,160).

Affordable Rent is calculated to be 30 percent of a family’s income. According to HUD, “families who pay more than 30 percent of their income for housing are considered cost-burdened.”

Affordable Rent for a family of four in each of the categories would be $615 (Extremely Low), $804 (Very Low), $1,286 (Low) and $1,929 (Workforce).

“Yes, there is some criticism around that definition of ‘affordable.’ We have a lot of individuals and families who say 30 percent of income isn’t realistic. There are a lot of people who say it should be more like 45 percent because that’s what they’re experiencing,” said Guiles. “Have you seen the new report from the United Way of Treasure Valley?”

She was referring to the just-released community assessment from United Way detailing the status quo of health, education and financial stability across the Treasure Valley.

And some stunning conclusions regarding 7 housing appears on page 27 of the study.

“The stress of housing insecurity is BOISE WEEKLY.COM

In 2012, Derrick O’Neill raised eyebrows when he took over as the City of Boise Planning and Development Services Director. O’Neill was an accomplished developer in the private sector and served as Executive Director of United BOISE WEEKLY.COM

an ongoing threat to lower-income wage earners in the Treasure Valley, especially for those who rent homes or apartments,” reads the study. “The percentage of individuals who are burdened by high housing expenses…is higher among renters than among homeowners. This number has been slowly increasing in Ada and Canyon counties. This is not due to renting as the sole factor, but likely reflects that those who rent their home are financially vulnerable—often unable to find an affordable home to purchase, to save enough for a down payment, and to earn enough to provide a financial buffer in the event of other expenses.”

An accompanying graphic in the study reveals another jaw-dropper: Nearly 16 percent of renters are deemed food insecure, more than three times more than homeowners.

And that strikes at the very heart of some major housing initiatives managed by the City of Boise.

“Boise is extremely rare in that we own rental housing. We own about 300 units in 48 locations. And that’s beyond rare. There’s not even a national precedent,” said Guiles.

Those city-owned units are geared toward individuals or families in the “extremely low” category, earning 30 percent or less of the median income.

But the chance of someone getting into one of those low-cost rentals is extremely slim.

“Someone may be on a waiting list for three years, or…” Guiles paused for a moment and said, “…well, to infinity.”

And while the city continues to operate and manage its own much-in-demand affordable rentals, officials say it’s even more important for private developers to step in to build more affordable rental complexes.

“We’re always looking for more multi-family units. The recession was particularly harsh. In 2010, there wasn’t a single permit issued for the construction of a multifamily unit,” said Lachiondo. “It created this big chasm where nothing was in the works. And now, here we are in our fourth year of record-low vacancies.”

But the city wants a much more diverse portfolio of rental availabilities, not just for lowincome families. That’s where Guiles points to the upper levels of Boise’s median income chart.

“It’s all about diversity. We want to appeal to more income levels,” said Guiles. “That’s, for instance, the nurse who checks you in for surgery at St. Luke’s Hospital. Or any number of downtown employees who would fall under the category of ‘workforce’ housing.”

Completed since 2014, under construction or planned

This map was displayed before a packed room during the 2017 State of Downtown address on May 18, sponsored by the Downtown Boise Association.

Way of Treasure Valley. Barely two years into his new post at city hall, O’Neill stood before the Boise City Council in the summer of 2014 and proposed that the city provide the economic stimulus to create at least 1,000 apartment rentals or for-sale condominiums.

Nearly five years later to the day, the Downtown Boise Association, at its annual State of Downtown confab, displayed a map of the city’s downtown core. Scattered across the map were a series of dots, signifying all of the apartment or condo projects that had recently been completed or were under construction. The total number of units? 1,313. In the same demonstration, the DBA said 8,000 people currently lived downtown, only 3.6 percent of the city’s population.

Mike Brown, co-founder of LocalConstruct, is in the business of changing that figure.

“Yes, check back with me about a year from now,” said Brown with a smile.

Brown, with hardhat in hand, had just inspected the latest LocalConstruct project, the Fowler, which will bring 159 apartment rentals to the revitalized Central Addition neighborhood at Broad and Fifth streets.

“Right now, we’re looking at swinging the doors open mid- to late-fall. We’re getting a lot of inquiries already,” said Brown. “The Fowler will have a mix: studio apartments, one and twobedroom units. Plus you’ll see a high-end pizzeria and coffee shop on the ground floor, plus an enclosed parking garage.”

Brown is a busy man. His company has a long list of developments in California, Colorado and Montana, and is making its presence known in Boise. The company recently completed The

Watercooler on the 1400 block of Idaho Street, which offers 39 units, including studios and one, two- and three-bedroom apartments. That followed LocalConstruct’s biggest gamble when, at the height of the recession in 2012, it partnered with Old Boise to remodel the historic Owyhee Hotel into a mixed use of downtown apartments, retail and commercial space and dining.

“What did we learn from the Owyhee project? I could write a book,” said Brown with a big smile. “At the time, everybody was saying ‘millennials, millennials, millennials.’ But we anticipated on getting a mix of people. And that’s exactly what happened. We saw just as many boomers. It turns out that that millennials and boomers pretty much want the same things in downtown living.”

Brown is cautious, though.

“Downtown Boise’s continued success is not a foregone conclusion, but I can tell you absolutely that based on the quality of local governance at city hall, the quality of your elected officials and their staffs, I would say that it’s a gross improbability that this is not going to continue to thrive.”

Even before the Owyhee project was complete, LocalConstruct had already committed to The Watercooler and The Fowler apartment projects. Sitting inside Boise Brewing, directly next door to The Fowler, Brown looked down Broad Street to where, only a few years ago, gravel parking lots had defined much of the landscape.

“If you build the rooftops, everything else will follow,” he said. “And who knows? If The Fowler is as successful as we think it will be, we may start working on The Fowler 2, some more apartments right across the street. It makes sense.”

The first phase of WWP will include 223 apartments, plus retail on the ground floor.

PLANS FOR WHITEWATER PROJECT IN WEST END UNVEILED A look at the artist renderings for the latest in a long list of proposed apartment complexes reveals a six-story structure surrounded by a paved walkway, plenty of bike racks and an outdoor cafe. Closer inspection, however, reveals The Whitewater Project would rise above the single-level homes west of downtown Boise.

WWP, which is slated to be built on the southeast corner of Main Street and Whitewater Park Boulevard, would be the product of one of the most unique land swaps in Boise history. In April 2016, the Boise City Council traded the city-owned 6.6 acres at Main and Whitewater for the historic 20-acre Spaulding Ranch near N. Cole Road and W. Chinden Boulevard, owned by developer LocalConstruct. City officials agreed the Main/Whitewater acreage was worth more, but wanted Spaulding Ranch as part of an initiative to promote urban farming. Soon after the trade, the wheels began turning for what would become the WWP apartment/ retail complex.

“In the course of the last year, WWP has investigated the highest and best use for the west end property as well as the financial feasibility of various options,” LocalConstruct co-president Mike Brown wrote to the city council in March.

On July 11, Brown unveiled the proposed WWP designs. The first phase of the plan includes five floors with ground-floor retail and 223 apartments—32 studios, 91 onebedrooms, 87 two-bedrooms and 12 townhouses. City officials say 10 of the apartments would be set aside as “low income units” subject to U.S. Housing and Urban Development requirements. Developers say the ground floor could include coffee shops, personal service retailers, a yoga or fitness studio and an anchor grocery store. Brown wrote to the council that there has been “no success to date” in attracting a grocer, but the effort is continuing.

Grab the adults and the tots and head over to Celebration Circle at JUMP to see the fryer that can cook around 2,000 pounds of fries an hour, enjoy Idaho’s signature snack and do your part to help the Idaho Food Bank in its mission to alleviate food insecurity in the Gem State.

Challenging the narrative one artwork at a time.

BRYAN ANTHONY MOORE: ALTERNATIVE FACTS OPENING RECEPTION Bryan Anthony Moore was throwing around terms like “alternative facts” before they were mainstream, and producing artwork that questions how we teach American history—or, as Moore would say, “Mythstory”—long before election season. His paintings, sculptures and illustrations are artificially aged to question the presentation of events back to the founding fathers, but the way his work blurs the lines between fact and fiction seems particularly relevant today. Enter Moore’s new installation: a pop-up show called Alternative Facts that has been two weeks in the making. View Moore’s new work at Ming Studios to see him tackle “significant current events” through art; a time-lapse of Moore’s process will also be on display, and the show will run through July 22.

6:30-9:30 p.m., FREE. Ming Studios, 420 S. Sixth St., 208972-9028, mingstudios.org.

Nick and Heather Millward didn’t yet share a last name when they formed The Riffbrokers in Boise in 1999, but they did share a love of music. Now, 18 years later, the Millwards and their band have settled firmly into the self-styled genre of “powerpop twang,” a “unique mixture of British Invasion and ‘80s Midwestern.”

Despite a rotating cast of characters, The Riffbrokers have released more than five full-length albums—including Every Pilot’s Blinded by the Sun (2011) and Facing Away From It (2016)—over the years on their own label, Unsmashable Records.

Considering that on Facebook, the band’s lone interest is listed as “Getting in vans. Getting back out,” the trio, rounded out by guitarist Chris Cline, is probably happy to be on the road home.

BLONDIE /GARBAGE, JULY 14, IDAHO CENTER Debbie Harry, the blonde at the core of longtime rock band Blondie, had a lot of birthday candles to blow out this year—on July 1, the punk icon turned 72. If you find that hard to believe, you’re not alone; it seems like only yesterday that “Call Me” and “Heart of Glass” were on the radio, and Blondie’s personal hybrid of rap, hip-hop and disco was sweeping the nation. Luckily, that fire never really died; Blondie and ’90s alt-rock band Garbage—fronted by the incredible Shirley Manson—have hit the road together and will perform at the Nampa Idaho Center Friday, July 14.

The two bands joined forces for the “Rage and Rapture” North American Tour following the debuts of Pollinator, Blondie’s eleventh studio album, and This Is the Noise That Keeps Me Awake, Garbage’s photo-packed autobiography, both of which were released earlier this year. Snag tickets to this blast from the past on ticketfly.com before they sell out.

SCREEN EXTRA THE LITTLE HOURS: PRAYER AND F-BOMBS

The opening scene of The Little Hours, which is based on Giovanni Boccaccio’s 14th century novella The Decameron, is idyllic. Framed by wildflower-covered hills of Tuscany, a young nun slowly leads a donkey as a choir sings, presumably from a not-too-distant convent. Moments later, a young man smiles at two passing nuns.

“Good day,” he says. “It’s a beautiful morning, sisters.”

“Don’t fucking talk to us,” screams one nun, reaching for a BOISE WEEKLY.COM

hatchet. The other chimes in with more profanity—the most I’ve ever heard spoken in 10 seconds.

The most blistering of the torchtongued is none other than Aubrey Plaza, who rolled her eyes as April Ludgate for all seven seasons of NBC comedy Parks and Rec. Plaza is also a co-producer of The Little Hours, along with her boyfriend Jeff Baena, who wrote and directed the film. Co-stars include Molly Shannon (SNL), Alison Brie (GLOW, Community, Mad Men), Kate Micucci (The Big Bang Theory) and Jemima Kirke (Girls). John C. Reilly plays

BEERGUZZLER NEWLY REVISED Revision Brewing is the new venture of Jeremy Warren, founder of Sparks, Nev.-based Knee Deep Brewing, and fellow Knee Deep brewer, Jeb Taylor. With that pedigree, it’s not surprising the duo is exploring hop-dominated ales, and three of their year-round offerings recently arrived in the Treasure Valley. They are all sold in 22-ounce bombers, have progressively higher hops and more alcohol—6.5, 9.1 and a dangerous 11.3 percent by volume respectively—and they are all highly recommended.

REVISION IPA: RE-IMAGINED INDIA PALE ALE, $6.99-$8.49 A thick head covers this crystal-clear, honeygold brew, then collapses slowly leaving a porous lacing. Smooth hop aromas dominate the nose, backed by slightly sour notes of grain and mineral. This is a well-balanced ale with a solid hop core rounded out by creamy malt. The finish is fresh and dry, offering touches of orange and mineral.

REVISION WHAT WHAT, DUBIOUS DOUBLE IPA, $7.99-$9.49 This IPA has the same honey-gold pour topped by an even thicker head with less staying. Earthy, pine-laced hops lead off on the nose colored by a bit of citrus. There are slightly amped up hops on the palate, but the bitterness is restrained, coming through mostly on the finish. The flavors are a rich mix of orange, grapefruit and sweet bread.

REVISION DR. LUPULIN DIABOLICAL 3X IPA, $9.99-$11.99 Like the others, this pours a bright honey-gold with a reasonably dense froth that fades fast, leaving a nice lacing. The sweet citrus and resiny hops on the nose are surprisingly subtle. Despite its triple IPA moniker, the hops, while big in flavor, have their bitterness kept in check by sweet grapefruit and malt.

The finish lingers with a spicy booziness.

CITIZEN DR. KEVIN CAHILL

Local economist has a lot of questions about impact of F-35s GEORGE PRENTICE Dr. Kevin Cahill is a preeminent economist.

His work on labor and health economics has been published on multiple occasions, and he has been expert witness in legal proceedings involving antitrust litigation and the controversial Keystone XL Pipeline. As managing director of the Boise office for Portland, Ore.-based ECONorthwest, Cahill’s clients include the City of Boise, which turned to him for help in crafting the Boise Competes project, which aligns public and private entities to help churn the city’s economic engine.

Cahill is well known for his no-holds-barred opinions on the effort by the City of Boise to land a much-touted F-35 mission at Gowen Field. Cahill says a study the city has often used to promote the F-35 project is misleading, at best.

Why did you and your wife relocate to Boise?

We lived in Boston for 20 years. Then we had children—holy cow. [Boston] went from being the greatest place to live for somebody in their 20s to an extremely stressful place to live. We had visited here before and one day we turned to one another and said, “Let’s make the jump. We’re going to raise our kids in Idaho.”

Give me a snapshot of your work.

I’m affiliated with Boston College, and I do work for them, but primarily, I run the Boise office for ECONorthwest. Through my company, we linked up with the City of Boise in 2012. I put together a proposal for them on the Boise Competes Project. I think we did some good work for the city.

Have you done other projects for the City of Boise?

Not since I spoke out about the F-35.

Walk me back to when the push for the F-35 first came onto your radar.

A few people approached me and said, ‘There’s an Idaho Air National Guard Economic Impact Study. You’re an economist. Can you take a look? It just doesn’t seem to make much sense.’ So, I looked at the study. It was just so bad.

For the record, that study insisted that the F-35 mission would bring significantly positive economic benefits to the Boise area, including 2,800 direct- and indirect jobs and a contribution of more than $155 million to the local economy.

But that’s incredibly misleading. The study included the benefits but none of the costs to the community. It doesn’t account for any negative impacts.

I think I know the answer to this, but why wouldn’t the study include any negative impacts?

There’s only one reason why: They didn’t ask the questions because they’re afraid of the answers.

But these are not stupid people.

They’re very smart people. There’s a sizeable chance if they run the numbers of the F-35, they’re going to end up with a net-negative impact. As proponents of the F-35, that would be the last thing they would want.

Let’s talk about an op-ed you wrote for the Idaho Statesman in May of this year. You ripped into the study, and you received quite a bit of pushback from the its authors.

But it’s rather stunning in that they said they were never even asked to look at the costs for their study. They only looked at the benefits.

That’s sad. Their benefits included hundreds and hundreds of pages, and the costs could have easily been done in a couple of pages. The economics are as clear as day. I think when their initial analysis came out, they weren’t banking on a trained economist looking at it. Because otherwise, they wouldn’t have done it. It’s embarrassing.

I know your own analysis was pro-bono and not affiliated with your employer, but what does ECONorthwest think about all of this?

My employer isn’t out for the quick dollar.

Yes, we’re objective and yes, we might lose business because of that objectivity. Sometimes you have to be the skunk at the picnic. I think, for sure in this particular case, I’m the skunk at the picnic.

PAGE BREAK $GYLFH IRU WKRVH RQ WKH YHUJH READY AND WILLING DEAR MINERVA, My long-term significant other is interested in butt stuff, but he’s also very concerned with the straight-laced status quo. I have tried to give him some encouraging tips on starting, but he shuts down. Any good ice breaker ideas?

Sincerely, Ready & Willing

DEAR READY AND WILLING, Exploration can be a great thing to do as a couple and as long as you are respecting each other’s boundaries, then everything should be smooth sailing. Part of exploration, however, is realizing that some things are fun to talk about, even if you never end up doing them. I think it’s great that he’s interested in trying new things, and that kind of openness is an indication of a strong relationship. I commend you for being open to exploring as well.

Sex and sexuality are a gift and should be maximized. Isn’t life full of enough unpleasantness as it is? We should be sexually gratified.

We shouldn’t be too concerned with the straight-laced status quo in the privacy of our own boudoir. A little back-door action is hardly a new concept in the sexual world. I don’t know what kind of couple you are. I don’t know who is pitching and who is catching. If it is something he is going to carry guilt and/or shame about, then he’s not ready. Be patient with him. Continue exploring the fantasy and do some research on safest practices. With statistics showing 3540 percent of people trying it, you won’t be alone.

MINERVA’S BREAKDOWN

THE POO VAULT Every dog owner knows that taking Fluffy for a walk means turning into a part-time ninja—smelly bag of dog-doo in hand, you scout the area for the nearest trash can, willing to leap over a fence or tiptoe around a flowerbed to reach it without alerting nosy Mrs. Next Door to your stinking secret. Tired of the ninja life? Boise dog owner Jessica Streib created the Poo Vault, a recyclable, odor-trapping, portable dog poop safe, so you can be a regular human again. To keep your hands feces-free, the ultra-light Poo Vault clips securely to your belt or $17.99, poovault.com attaches to your canine’s leash with a carabiner, and it is strong enough to carry “two poops from a 70 pound Labrador.”

Visit the website to buy yours, watch comedically tragic “Dog Poo Stories” from Poo Vault converts or just to find out why “Poo Vaults make every walk more happy and less crappy.”

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): It’s not your birthday, but I feel like you need to get presents. The astrological omens agree with me. In fact, they suggest you should show people this horoscope to motivate them to do the right thing and shower you with practical blessings.

And why exactly do you need these rewards? Here’s one reason: Now is a pivotal moment in the development of your own ability to give the unique gifts you have to give. If you receive tangible demonstrations that your contributions are appreciated, you’ll be better able to rise to the next level of your generosity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Other astrologers and fortunetellers may enjoy scaring the hell out of you, but not me. My job is to keep you apprised of the ways life aims to help you, educate you and lead you out of your suffering.

The truth is, Taurus, if you look hard enough, there are always seemingly legitimate reasons to be afraid of pretty much everything; but that’s a stupid way to live, especially since there are also always legitimate reasons to be excited about pretty much everything. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to work on retraining yourself to make the latter approach your default tendency. I have rarely seen a better phase than now to replace chronic anxiety with shrewd hope.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): At least for the short range future, benign neglect can be an effective game plan for you. In other words, Gemini, allow inaction to do the job that can’t be accomplished through strenuous action. Stay put. Be patient and cagey and observant. Seek strength in silence and restraint. Let problems heal through the passage of time. Give yourself permission to watch and wait, to reserve judgment and withhold criticism. Why do I suggest this approach? Here’s a secret: Forces currently working in the dark and behind the scenes will generate the best possible outcome.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions,” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. “All life is an experiment.” I’d love to see you make that your operative strategy in the coming weeks, Cancerian.

According to my analysis of the astrological omens, now is a favorable time to overthrow habits, rebel against certainties and cruise through freewheeling escapades that will change your mind in a hundred different ways. Do you love life enough to ask more questions than you’ve ever asked before?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Thank you for contacting the Center for Epicurean Education. If you need advice on how to help your imagination lose its inhibitions,

please press 1. If you’d like guidance on how to run wild in the woods or in the streets without losing your friends or your job, press 2. If you want to learn more about spiritual sex or sensual wisdom, press 3. If you’d like assistance in initiating a rowdy yet focused search for fresh inspiration, press 4. For information about dancing lessons, flying lessons or dancingwhile-flying lessons, press 5. For advice on how to stop making so much sense, press 6.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The cereus cactus grows in the deserts of the southwestern U.S. Most of the time it’s scraggly and brittle-looking, but one night of the year, in June or July, it blooms with a fragrant, trumpet-shaped flower.

By dawn, the creamy white petals close and start to wither. During that brief celebration, the main pollinator of the plant, the sphinx moth, has to discover the marvelous event and come to gather the cactus flower pollen. I suspect this scenario has metaphorical resemblances to a task you could benefit from carrying out in the days ahead. Be alert for a sudden, spectacular and rare eruption of beauty that you can feed from and propagate.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If I had more room here, I would offer an inspirational PowerPoint presentation designed just for you.

In the beginning, I would seize your attention with an evocative image that my marketing department had determined would give you a visceral thrill (like maybe a photoshopped image of you wearing a crown and holding a scepter.)

In the next part, I would describe various wonderful and beautiful things about you. Then, I’d tactfully describe an aspect of your life that’s underdeveloped and could use some work. I’d say, “I’d love for you to be more strategic in promoting your good ideas. I’d love for you to have a well-crafted master plan that will attract the contacts and resources necessary to lift your dream to the next level.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I advise you against snorting cocaine, MDMA, heroin, or bath salts, but if you do, don’t lay out your lines of powder on a kitchen table or a counter in a public restroom. Places like those are not exactly sparkly clean, and you could end up propelling contaminants close to your brain. Please observe similar care with any other activity that involves altering your consciousness or changing the way you see the world. Do it in a nurturing location that ensures healthy results. P.S. The coming weeks will be a great time to expand your mind if you do it in all-natural ways such as through conversations with interesting people, travel to places that excite

your awe and encounters with provocative teachings.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In late 1811 and early 1812, parts of the mighty Mississippi River flowed backwards several times.

Earthquakes were the cause. Now, more than two centuries later, you Sagittarians have a chance— maybe even a mandate—to accomplish a more modest rendition of what nature did way back then. Do you dare to shift the course of a great, flowing, vital force? I think you should at least consider it.

In my opinion, that great, flowing, vital force could benefit from an adjustment you have the wisdom and luck to understand and accomplish.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’re entering into the Uncanny Zone, Capricorn. During your brief journey through this alternate reality, the wind and the dew will be your teachers. Animals will provide special favors. You may experience true fantasies, like being able to sense people’s thoughts and hear the sound of leaves converting sunlight into nourishment. It’s possible you’ll feel the moon tugging at the waters of your body and glimpse visions of the best possible future. Will any of this be of practical use? Yes! More than you can imagine, and not in ways you can imagine yet.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): This is one of those rare grace periods when you can slip into a smooth groove without worrying it will degenerate into a repetitive rut.

You’ll feel natural and comfortable as you attend to your duties, not blank or numb. You’ll be entertained and educated by exacting details, not bored by them. I conclude, therefore, that this will be an excellent time to lay the gritty foundation for expansive and productive adventures later this year. If you’ve been hoping to get an advantage over your competitors and diminish the negative influences of people who don’t empathize with you, now is the time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “There is a direct correlation between playfulness and intelligence, since the most intelligent animals engage in the greatest amount of playful activities,” reports the National Geographic.

“The reason is simple: Intelligence is the capacity for learning, and to play is to learn.” I suggest you make these thoughts the centerpiece of your life in the coming weeks. You’re in a phase when you have an enhanced capacity to master new tricks. That’s fortunate, because you’re also in a phase when it’s especially crucial for you to learn new tricks. The best way to ensure it all unfolds with maximum grace is to play as much as possible.
