EDITOR’S NOTE SILLY SEASON With the Iowa Caucus in the bag and Ted Cruz—aka Grandpa Munster—wringing his hands in glee after his victory over Donald Trump, it’s the beginning of the end for this seemingly eternal silly season of presidential politics.

The Idaho Republican and Constitutional parties have set their date for a primary presidential election on Tuesday, March 8, while Idaho Democrats will be caucusing Tuesday, March 22.

That means if we’re going to receive—or suffer—any candidate visits ahead of the general election in November, it’s likely to happen sometime in the next month or so.

Trying to figure which way Idaho will go is less a question of Democrat or Republican, but what brand of “insurgent and antiestablishment” rhetoric will most tickle voters’ fancy.

Those words were borrowed from Randy Stapilus, writing for Ridenbaugh Press in July 2015 under the headline “Donald Trump’s Idaho?” In his column, Stapilus dug into history to illustrate Idahoans’ particular style of voting—often skewing toward “candidates who match up with the Idaho self-image.”

Among the “insurgent and anti-establishment” exemplars, he noted “challenger[s] to powers that be who are dismissed by them”—including Helen Chenoweth, Sarah Palin (a Sandpoint native) and Ron Paul. As for candidates who fit “the Idaho self-image,” Stapilus named former Presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush and former Gov. Mitt Romney—the latter whom enjoyed wide support from his fellow Latter-day Saints in the Gem State.

According to this week’s Boise Weekly online poll (see Page 30), Bernie Sanders was the favorite by a wide margin with 66.09 percent, followed by Hillary Clinton (15.59 percent) and Trump (6.93 percent). While the sample size only numbered a few hundred respondents, it was surprising to see Trump in the top three.

As Stapilus wrote in his conclusion, “Might Idaho be Trump territory? Could be, if The Donald lasts in his campaigning hothouse long enough to get to next year’s Idaho primary.”

Say what you will about Trump or his chances, if he visits Boise, it will be a hell of a show.

OPINION PALIN’S DOWN FOR TRUMP The political marriage made in Hog Heaven BILL COPE “You look perplexipated, Cope.”

“Well, Red, yes... I am a tad perplexipated.”

“Wazza matter? Ain’t ya’ gettin’ ‘nough fiber in y’r grub?”

“I can’t seem to come up with anything original on this Trump/Palin merger. I’ve seen this sort of thing before... now and then something comes along that’s just so crazy-ass surreal that you can’t ignore it, but neither can all the other political writers. It’s like we’re all thinking the same things, and it’s impossible to find a fresh approach to it.”

“Is you implistatin’ how Sarah boosterin’ up Trump is crazy syrup?”

“Oh no. That makes perfect sense. Loud and cheesy always sticks with loud and cheesy. It’s why Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity are on the same network, see? And why it’s so hard to tell one country-western singer from another. And why all the really stupid action movies come out at the same time of year. And why you never see Miley Cyrus or that Kardasian person hanging out with anyone classy. Or... “ “Dang it, Cope! What’s y’r point here!”

“Oh, sorry. But see, you take people as loud and mouthy and cheesy and cheap as either Donald Trump or a Sarah Palin individually, they’re naturally going to get attention. They’re like a huge, gross pimple on the end of your nose... just can’t hardly pretend they’re not there.

But then, they come together, and it’s like a confluence of two big rivers. Only instead of rivers, it’s mouths. See? Two big, muddy mouths, combining into a roiled-up mess of the lowest, noclass, sleazy, trailer-trash foulness you wouldn’t have thought possible outside of an A&E reality show. And so much concentrated tawdriness puts a huge strain on the levees, you see? The levees, well, they’re what would serve as morality and conscience and honesty to most people. You might call them the ‘Levees of Constraint,’ see?

They’re there to keep us from getting swept away in a flood of shabby and noxious behavior. But those same levees are what garish hucksters like Trump and Palin poo-poo as ‘political correctness,’ get it? And... and... “ “You ain’t foolin’ me, Cope. Y’r confabulatin’ up one o’ them megaphors, ain’tcha’?

“Ah. Caught me. I am indeed confabulating up a metaphor, and I’m just hoping nobody else comes up with the same thing, like they’ve done with everything else I’ve confabulated up.”

“Whatcher mean?”

“See, when I heard Palin was endorsing Trump, my first thought was what a backstabbing, shameless weasel she is for supporting the very jerk who had said John McCain’s five years as a POW didn’t qualify him as a hero... that he BOISE WEEKLY.COM

was just another loser for getting caught. This was the man who’d picked Palin for a running mate eight years ago and hasn’t said a negative thing about her since. McCain’s shown nothing but loyalty to the low-rent harpy who, incidentally, many believe caused him to lose the election.

But before I could get that into words, Rachel Maddow did half a show on it. Beat me too it by a mile. Said exactly what I was thinking... only Rachel didn’t use the phrase ‘low-rent harpy.’”

“Cope, tain’t no surprise t’ nobody you and Rachel Maddow ‘ld be thinkin’ alike.”

“Yeah, but there’s a big difference between thinking like Rachael, and copying what she says. But that’s not all. My next idea was how we shouldn’t feel too sorry for McCain for getting dumped on by Palin, because if he hadn’t dumped Palin on America eight years ago, he wouldn’t have opened American politics up the horror that any shrill, know-nothing, tasteless, flouncy, flash-in-the-pan... any opportunistic sack of farts who would say any lie that crossed her, or his, mind in order to appeal to the most thoughtless, hateful, vicious Americans... that anyone like that could be considered presidential material, no matter how stupid, unqualified and inappropriate she, or he, is. So think about it... if it hadn’t been for McCain, there would have been no Palin.

And without Palin, there would be no Trump.

McCain is just reaping what he sowed. Right?”

“Wrong, Cope! You ain’t got no cause t’ call Sarah Palin a ‘sack o’ farts!’ I can see it wit’ Donald. He’s always got that look like whate’er he ate last is givin’ ‘im some trouble. But that’s a low blow t’ give t’ Sarah.” “’Low blow?’ Was that a pun, Red?” “Huh?” “Well, anyway, it doesn’t matter because before I got around to writing that idea down, I found it on the Internet, two weeks before I could have gotten it in today’s paper. Blogger named Chris Weigant wrote the exact same thing I was thinking on Huff Post... only he didn’t use the phrase ‘sack of farts.’”

“So’s that means y’r all out o’ ideas on how t’ despitasize Sarah an’ my man Donald?”

“Not exactly. I’m working on a scenario about how a love child of Donald Trump and Sarah Palin might turn out.”

“Ewwwwwwww!”

“Yeah. Pretty ugly picture, huh? I’m thinking of calling it ‘Pregnant Heiress Gets Thrown Out of Wharton for Brawling with Dormitory Neighbors.’”

“Nope, Cope. I don’ imagine any’un else is gerna think o’ that ‘un.”

“I sure hope not.”

NO FISCAL IMPACT

Statehouse leaders eye new rules to account for actual costs of legislation HARRISON BERRY

bill would actually culminate in a $50 million loss in general fund revenue. The bill cleared the House, but was bounced back to committee by Senate Republican leadership.

Necochea said fiscal notes with more thorough information, including projections, analysis and summaries, would give lawmakers the tools they’ need to make measured decisions, but that information isn’t included.

“You rarely see two years of impact on a fiscal note. They’re leaving information on the table,” she said.

cut, have robust services available to legislators to help them plan for budgeting well into the future.

Idaho isn’t alone in the need to address challenges stemming from fiscal notes. Connecticut, the highest-scoring state in the report, requires bills and budgeting that increase spending to be audited by a nonpartisan agency, and multi-year budget projections of any piece of legislation that could affect governmental units or agencies extending at least five years into the future.

Lewiston Democratic Rep. Dan Rudolph has expressed concern about the role and scrutiny of fiscal notes in the legislative process.

He said he’d like to see stronger tools or more staff available to legislators to help build more complete fiscal notes. From his point of view, Joint Rule 18 provides few guidelines for what constitutes a complete or thorough financial accounting.

“Yes, Idaho law requires a fiscal note, but there’s no requirement of accuracy.

There isn’t any vehicle to provide that accurate estimate,” he said. “We don’t have resources worth a darn in determining the fiscal impact. It’s our responsibility.”

Davis wouldn’t say exactly what changes leadership could make to Joint Rule 18 during the current session, but he did say possible changes tend toward encouraging legislators to debate the sufficiency of fiscal notes in committee before they reach the House or Senate floor. That could include giving committee chairs more headroom to ask for analysis of legislation, or empowering individual lawmakers to ask their chairs to form small committees for conducting fiscal analyses. Encouraging legislators to debate fiscal impact statements before their full chambers would set a bad precedent, Davis said, since that would imply lawmakers would vote on statements of purpose.

“So now we’re voting on them? I think that’s the wrong precedent to set because then you’re saying this advertising that’s in the statement of purpose [is legislative intent], and I don’t think that’s a good policy for the state to have,” he said.

For Necochea, however, the risk of a bill clearing the Legislature without responsible fiscal vetting is immanent.

“I don’t think it’s rampant, but there’s always that potential, and until we have transparent budgeting practices we’re at risk for passing a bill that costs more than we think it does,” Necochea said.

ADAM RO SEN LUND

According to Joint Rule 18, every bill introduced in the Idaho Legislature must have an attached statement of purpose and a fiscal note.

The former is an invitation for lawmakers to vote in favor of the bill, while the latter provides a forecast of how the bill could affect the state’s bottom line—if at all. At least, that’s how they’re supposed to work.

All too often, said Senate Majority Leader Bart Davis (R-Idaho Falls), the financial consequences of legislation go unexamined until taxpayers are left with the tab.

“I want fiscal notes to be as accurate as they can possibly be,” he said. “My experiences with most legislators is they really are trying to give me a good fiscal note. They’re trying to give me a number, but they do have to rely on input from others.”

Joint Rule 18 was most recently modified in 2013, when lawmakers added language saying the statement of purpose isn’t part of a bill’s text, and fiscal notes only apply to unamended bills. Now, Davis and other legislative leaders are looking into ways of encouraging their colleagues to give greater scrutiny to how bills affect state and local coffers—and they can expect change to come sooner rather than later.

“I have a possible re-write right here,” Davis said.

According to Idaho Center for Fiscal Policy Director Lauren Necochea, the problem with fiscal notes boils down to a nickel-and-dime effect, with counties, cities, agencies and taxpayers paying the costs of bills that went under-examined during the legislative process.

“It adds up. A million here and a million there, and suddenly you’re talking about real money. People sitting around the kitchen table are impacted by state budget decisions,” she said. “We pass a lot of bills every year, but if they’re costing money we’re not acknowledging, it can add up.”

Necochea cited HB 311, an elaborate proposal

by Star Republican Rep. Mike Moyle late in the 2015 legislative session, which would have increased fuel taxes by 7 cents, removed a sales tax on groceries and repealed the food tax credit.

Moyle told fellow lawmakers it would be a tax increase in fiscal year 2016, then turn into a net tax decrease in FY 2017. The Center for Fiscal Policy challenged Moyle’s fiscal note, saying passing the

A recent report by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities ranked the Gem State 33rd in the nation for the tools it makes available to legislators to score bills for fiscal accuracy. It gave Idaho poor marks for failing to use detailed, multi-year forecasts of revenue and spending in compiling fiscal notes and finding independent consensus on revenue forecasts.

Payday loans have been called a “debt trap.”

FEWER PAYDAY LENDERS IN IDAHO Two years ago, the Pew Charitable Trusts issued a study revealing Idaho had the highest payday loan interest rates in the nation, with Gem State lenders charging as much as 582 percent annual interest. The Idaho Community Action Network has repeatedly tagged payday lending as “a vicious cycle.” Even Idaho Department of Insurance Director Gavin Gee, whose agency licenses, examines and regulates the lenders, dubbed extended payment plans through payday loans a “debt trap.”

On Feb. 2, Gee announced stricter oversight has triggered a 34 percent decline in licensed payday lenders in Idaho, from 223 at the end of 2014 to 147 at the end of 2015. In particular, Gee pointed to “increased scrutiny” from the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, created in 2011.

The CFPB is currently mulling new federal regulations that would require “more robust underwriting practices,” limiting short-term loans to 45 days and the establishment of a 60-day “cooling off period after a borrower has taken out three such loans in a row.”

Meanwhile, ICAN leaders say those new rules can’t come soon enough.

“Every day the CFPB delays, more financial damage is done to American families,” ICAN board member Miranda Davis said at a rally in Boise late last month. “I work hard as a single mom and the last thing I needed when I borrowed money was to get trapped in a cycle of debt that was nearly impossible to get out of. My wages were garnished and it hurt my family more than if I had just let my power be shut off.”

ICAN officials said their research indicates each day CFPB delays in enactment of the proposed rules, U.S. families lose another $23.9 million, totaling more than $8.7 billion annually. The proposed rules were unveiled in March 2015 and, while CFPB officials have indicated they want the restrictions to go into effect sooner than later, no timetable has been put forward.

The city’s fleet has experienced an increase in “unforeseen vehicle collision incidents.”

REPAIR COSTS FOR CITY’S VEHICLE FLEET JUMP 80 PERCENT The city of Boise in 2015 was proud to boast that its Fleet Services—consisting of approximately 1,200 vehicles for public safety, maintenance and administration—had been singled out as the No. 1 fleet in the nation among leading government vehicle fleets. City Clerk Craig Croner flew to Denver to pick up the award at the June 2015 Government Fleet Expo and Conference. According to expo judges, Boise Fleet Services topped similar departments in thousands of other cities by “staying efficient and competitive, overcoming challenges, and having a vision and direction for the fleet.”

Boise Fleet Services’ latest challenge isn’t getting as much media coverage. In the past three months, Croner has had to turn to the City Council for two separate cash increases to fund repairs stemming from a growing number of crashes involving city vehicles. Since November 2015, the council has been asked to approve a whopping 80 percent increase to pay for bodywork and painting of city vehicles.

Nobody is saying who’s responsible for the wrecks, but an internal memo to the council from city of Boise Purchasing Manager Colin Millar stated there have been “unforeseen vehicle collision incidents.”

In 2014, Boise awarded an annual $100,000 contract to Harold’s Auto Body to handle repairs and painting for the city’s fleet.

The contract came with four annual renewals and the city renewed the deal in February 2015. But in November 2015, Croner and Millar were surprised to see a 65 percent increase in repair and painting costs. That’s when Millar first went before the council to ask for a $65,000 change order to the contract. Millar said the city had used independent claims administrator Idaho Intermountain Claims to calculate repair estimates before turning to Harold’s to start fixing the vehicles.

Three months later, on Feb. 2, Millar returned to the council, saying the $65,000 increase he asked for in November wasn’t enough—to the tune of $15,000 more per year.

“The average has increased, requiring the need to do a second change order to the contract,” Millar said. “Change order two … will increase the contract to $180,000, which represents an overall increase of 80 percent.”

Learning Lab has little time for debate, it’s too busy meeting the challenge GEORGE PRENTICE The Super Bowl has nothing on the political footballs kicked around at the Idaho Statehouse—not least of which are funding public education and refugees resettlement in Idaho.

The educators at Garden City-based nonprofit Learning Lab have neither the time nor inclination to engage in those debates. No. 1: Learning Lab doesn’t ask the Legislature for government funding, in spite of the fact it helps hundreds of people earn high-school diplomas and prepares scores of children for kindergarten each year.

No. 2: The educators at Learning Lab know about the plight of refugees, something they say more lawmakers ought to understand.

“The current anti-refugee politics are a lot of noise and a lot of fearmongering. I don’t understand it,” said Learning Lab Executive Director Ann Heilman. “I don’t think the people against the welcoming of refugees understand the suffering that refugees have gone through. The stories I’ve heard over the years… I could just cry right now. What would you think if someone told you what it was like to hide in a tree as they watched their father being killed? Or a mother saying, ‘Run, don’t turn back’?”

Once upon a time, Heilman worked in the heart of Idaho government, serving as state human resources director from 1999 through 2006 for then-Gov. Dirk Kempthorne. When Kempthorne was appointed U.S. Interior secretary, incoming Gov. Jim Risch brought in many of his own picks for top state offices.

“Some of us were, let’s say, truthsayers, who said, ‘The emperor has no clothes.’ Well, we were summarily dismissed,” Heilman said. “Honestly, at the time I wasn’t aware of the Learning Lab.” While Heilman was considering her next professional challenge, the Learning Lab was thriving but poised to make its own change. In 1990, the Junior League of Boise launched a program, then known as “Literacy Lab,” to assist adults who struggle with reading. Within a year, they began offering classes at the Boise Public Library. Two years later, the organization became an independent nonprofit and the Learning Lab was born.

Shortly thereafter, the Lab’s founding director, Gemma VanHole, decided to extend the reach of the organization by forging a family-based literacy program, offering preschool education for infants

Martha Strong (seated) has been teaching with the Learning Lab since its inception. She is joined by students (left to right) Luqman from Iraq, Victoria from Russia and Alfonso from Costa Rica.

and toddlers while parents took their own classes nearby. By 2006, Garden City stepped forward to offer the Learning Lab a new home, leasing littleused land for $1 a year for the next 50 years.

“By 2006, Gemma got the building built and furnished and said, ‘OK, it’s time for somebody else.’ Coincidentally, it was the same time I was looking for my next opportunity,” said Heilman.

“When I came in, the board of directors said, ‘Don’t mess it up.’ Honestly, I felt as if I had fallen into a bucket of cream.”

That’s more like whipped cream today, considering the Learning Lab expanded further by offering classes at the Hillcrest branch library. Between the Lab’s headquarters on E. 36th St., the main branch of the Boise Library and the Hillcrest branch, literacy classes are now offered morning, afternoon and night, Monday through Thursday.

During the 2014-2015 school year, 253 adults— many of them learning the English language or preparing for a GED certification—and 79 children were in Learning Lab classrooms. None of that comes cheap. Although the average cost of a class is $300, nearly all the adults are usually on the bottommost rung of the economy and can’t afford it. As a result, approximately 98 percent of students attend classes through scholarships funded by donors. Individual donors provide 34 percent of Learning Lab’s income, in addition to significant in-kind donations of the Garden City land lease and the thousands of hours donated by the Lab’s 157 volunteer educators.

“If they didn’t exist, we’d probably have to pay somewhere close to $200,000 for those services each year,” said Heilman. “They’re amazing. We have tutors who have been with us for 20 or more years.”

One of those Learning Lab veterans is Martha Strong, who began as a volunteer in the 1990s. On a recent afternoon visit to the Lab, Strong sat at her desk, proudly pointing to a number of her students: one was in the earliest stages of learning English, another was preparing for a science GED exam, another was learning algebra and still another was reading social studies. Each of the students proudly called Idaho their new home but their origins had turned the classroom into a mini-melting pot. Students from 35 countries took Learning Lab classes during the past school year, with the number of students from Iraq, Somalia and Sudan doubling in the past 12 months. Most recently, the Learning Lab assisted refugees or immigrants from Afghanistan, Congo, Iraq and Mexico become U.S. citizens.

“It’s a pretty amazing story but a good many people don’t know about Learning Lab,” said Heilman. “As a matter of fact, the folks at Drake Cooper did some analysis for us a while back and said, ‘Your Lunch for Literacy event has better recognition than you do.’”

That’s not such a bad thing. Now in its 23rd year, Lunch for Literacy—this year slated for Friday, Feb. 5—has become a highlight of Boise’s social calendar. The luncheon at the Boise Centre will feature New York Times bestselling author Ridley Pearson, but attendees agree the highlight is always when a Learning Lab student shares his or her personal story.

“Because that’s what it’s really about,” said Heilman. “It’s about telling a story about education and acceptance and the story of America.

After all, we’re all children of immigrants. Why can’t we all be on equal footing?”

BOHEMIAN FASHION FUSE For years, Eyes of the World Imports owner Michelle V.Busch has wanted to put on a fashion show in her store at 1576 W. Grove St. Now more than ever, she said her shop is carrying “some of the best and most beautiful clothing we’ve had.”

On this First Thursday, Feb. 9, V.Busch’s vision will become a reality. From 6-8 p.m. in the Eyes of the World yoga room, five models will show off dozens of outfits, jewelry and accessories from Nepal, Thailand, China, India and Bali.

“This way, our customers can see a lot of our merchandise that’s usually hidden on our racks,” V.Busch said.

There is only enough space for 60 people in the fashion show and tickets are $10 but in exchange, patrons get a $10 voucher toward a purchase at Eyes of the World. A portion of that night’s sales will benefit the Women’s and Children’s Alliance. Tickets can be bought between now and the show at Eyes of the World. The event will also include wine and hors d’oeuvres.

“I feel like we can finally make it happen,” V.Busch said.

In praise of Idaho’s activist women.

FETTUCCINE FORUM Idaho Purce grew up in Pocatello during the 1950s, when she was heavily discriminated against for being African-American. Enduring those experiences turned her into a lifelong advocate for civil rights. She served on the first Idaho Commission on Human Rights, as well as being active with the NAACP and even traveling to Hayden Lake in northern Idaho to tour the former Aryan Nation compound. “[She is] an activist whose life embodies the ideal of being the change we’d like to see in the world,” said Dr. Lisa McClain, a professor of history and gender studies at Boise State University..

Women like Purce and others will be lauded during First Thursday’s Fettuccine Forum at 5:30 p.m. McClain, who will host the event, invited a group of women to sit on a panel and discuss the topic, “Being the Change: Women Activists in Idaho.”

Panelists include Yasmin Aguilar from the Agency for New Americans, Mistie Tolman from Planned Parenthood and Emilie JacksonEdney of Add the Words. The forum takes place at the City Council Chambers in Boise City Hall at 150 N. Capitol Blvd.

FICTION 101 READING “We sit on the edge of the bed wearing only pilgrim hats and white dickies. She has a spot of gravy on her inner thigh.”

“He wants to cut weight, that’s why he’s not sharing my muffin.

I have begun to secretly wish for an injury. Nothing serious, just a sprain.”

“Between us, he’s nothing but a red-faced-fist-pounding man who’d eaten cat food. And we were the ones who fed it to him.”

After reading those excerpts from this year’s Boise Weekly Fiction 101 contest, how could you not want the full stories—all 101 words of them? The reading of the 14th annual Fiction 101 winners takes place at Rediscovered Books (180 N. Eighth St.) on First Thursday, beginning at 7 p.m.

23RD ANNUAL VALENTINE FOR AIDS

MUSEUM OF BROKEN RELATIONSHIPS

FAT TUESDAY AT HUMPIN’ HANNAH’S

The annual Valentine for AIDS silent auction at Flying M Coffeehouse is a tradition that dates back nearly a quarter-century.

When it started, HIV/AIDS was still a medical mystery—an underlying medical condition that turned obscure or otherwise easily overcome diseases deadly. Since then, social attitudes about and treatments of the disease have changed, but Flying M’s benefit has not. Join the downtown coffeeshop/gift shop for its 23rd annual auction. In year 22, it raised more than $27,000, and this year, the work of approximately 260 local artists will hopefully raise even more for the Safety Net for AIDS Program, which provides housing, utilities, grocery and medical assistance to those with HIV/AIDS. Monday-Saturday, 9 a.m.-9 p.m.; Sunday, 9 a.m.-6 p.m. FREE. Flying M Coffeehouse, 500 W. Idaho St., 208-345-4320, flyingmcoffee.com.

The Museum of Broken Relationships, located in Zagreb, Croatia, is filled with physical reminders of lost love. Founders Olinka Vistica and Drazen Grubisic created the museum to “offer a chance to overcome an emotional collapse” by allowing people to contribute symbols of their “broken relationship”—photos, letters, trinkets, toys, etc.—accompanied by the brokenhearted’s story. The founders created a traveling exhibit and, with the help of local author and screenwriter Sam Silva, Ming Studios, the Modern Hotel and a grant from the Boise City Department of Arts and History, the mementos of lost love are making their way to Ming Studios in Boise. Half of the show will be comprised of selections from the MOBR permanent collection; the other half will be made up of local contributions.

5 p.m., FREE. Ming Studios, 420 S. Sixth St., 208-972-9028. mingstudios.org.

Experience a night of New Orleans traditions when Hannah’s and the Sapphire Room channel Bourbon Street for a night of music, acrobatics and prizes, and booze specials.

This year’s Annual Ta-Ta Tuesday theme at Hannah’s is Comic Book Carnival, and the best costume wins a big cash prize, so come as your favorite comic character and revel in Mardi Gras madness. Performances by Vivica Valentino and Nikoa Mak kick off the festivities, followed by the amazing acrobatics of Frankly Burlesque, then The Rocci Johnson Band and VJ Jazzy Jim with Zydeco and Cajun Swamp will keep the dance floor full—and the beads flying—until the wee hours of the morning.

INNOCENT MAN, FEB. 5, KNITTING FACTORY Some people say Idaho is the northernmost Southern state.

Listening to the rollicking, country-fried, rock of Innocent Man, the comparison rings true. “Slow Nights in Idaho,” the title track on the Boise sextet’s new album (Slow Nights, February 2016), is a boozy anthem to cheerful nihilism. From drinking “whiskey in the mornin’ with my peaches and cream,” to ripple and rye by the fire, it’s a 24-hour party with nothing to lose because “tomorrow don’t give a damn about me.” On a scale of Ram Jam to Hank Williams Sr., Innocent Man lands somewhere closer to the former, but there is more nuance to the band’s sound than a reference to Ram Jam might suggest. Singer Kristin Burns can belt it out with just the right tinge of twang, and the fiddle and organ accompaniments provide touches of Americana and rocking gospel.

Innocent Man is a helluva good time, and a helluva good time it will be when Slow Nights drops at the Knitting Factory, Friday, Feb. 5.

AELTER, FEB. 10, VISUAL ARTS COLLECTIVE If, when listening to Aelter, your thoughts turn to the intro song from True Detective Season 1 or the works of the late, great H.R. Giger, that’s (maybe) by design. Aelter, a side project of Boise doom metal duo Wolvserpent, wears its cinematic sensibility on its sleeve. In the band’s own words, its latest LP, Aelter IV: Love Eternal (Peasanta Urfolk, April 2015), carries on its tradition of exploring “a cinematically dreary dreamscape of doom-inspired darkness.”

Alternately referred to as “gothic Western folk music” and “hypnotic darkwave pop,” Aelter IV is indeed a journey through uncharted territory, leading off with an introductory track followed by “Death Eternal,” “Love Eternal,” “Life Eternal” and “Hope Eternal.” In a departure from Wolvserpent’s driving oeuvre, Aelter IV is deeply melodic, deeply romantic and deeply dark. Catch Aelter in its first ever live performance on Wednesday, Feb. 10, at Visual Arts Collective.

William Lewis’ The City Limits exhibit investigates and elevates the mundane.

ON THE EDGE OF CITY LIMITS AND DIRECTIONS TO THE EGRESS Local artist William Lewis is a master of investigating—and elevating—the mundane, as is evident in his new exhibit, The City Limits, presented by Surel’s Other Place.

According to surelsplace.org, The exhibit of “small paintings of nearby landscapes” came about after Lewis “took a wrong turn during a drive.” He found himself at “Boise’s southern edge, where city gives way to high desert … The brightness of the sky and the dry, raw earth seemed to overwhelm the impermanent, human interventions in the landscape.”

Lewis employs the richness of oil paint to create steel, wood, dirt and clouds, turning something as simple as a dump truck chugging along a highway into something sublime. The City Limits is on display through Monday, Feb. 29 at Cinder Winery (107 E. 44th St., Garden City, 11 a.m.-5 p.m.)

Speaking of mystery, dance is often a misunderstood art form. The beauty and athleticism are usually obvious, however, the narrative isn’t always. Local performing art collaborative LED is making strides toward untangling dance by “fusing artistic mediums,” including “live original music, movement, sound and visual design,” all of which help tell the story. LED’s full-scale work, This Side of Paradise, was a breathtaking mixture of forms that explored the relationship between F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. The dance, music and screen projections lit up the Morrison Center, when LED debuted Paradise in October 2015—and a release party at The Egyptian Theatre on Jan. 22 for a CD of original music written for Paradise was even more charged than the debut.

Rather than fight the smaller stage, the husband-and-wife team of LED co-founders— artistic director Lauren Edson and creative director Andrew Stensaas—took advantage of the close-knit quarters, heightening what had already been an outstanding performance.

Both the dancers and the musicians were electrifying, creating an atmosphere that was part rock concert, part high-art performance.

LED is slated to stage a new work titled This Way to the Egress at the 2016 Treefort Music Fest—we don’t want to give away the story, but here’s a hint: zoo. The venue is a perfect fit and a perfect opportunity to see what this innovative group is capable of.

Bela Fleck and Abigail Washburn find their own old-school sound CHRIS PARKER For Bela Fleck, his love affair with folk music started early. As a young boy living in New York City, Fleck saw the Beverly Hillbillies on television in the ’60s and was blown away—not by the redneck stereotypes, but the opening theme music, performed by Earl Scruggs.

“It was the truest sound I had ever heard and I didn’t even know what it was,” Fleck said with a chuckle. “I heard the banjo, it was Earl Scruggs, Husband-and-wife duo Abigail Washburn (left) and Bela Fleck (right) meld different playing styles, work and it just turned me on.

JES SICA MURRI

RECREATION SWAPPING SCHOOL SUPPLIES FOR SNOWSHOES

SnowSchool takes students out of the classroom to learn about science JESSICA MURRI For many kids who participate in SnowSchool, it’s the first time they’ve been to Bogus Basin Mountain Recreation Area.

“They may only live 20 miles away and they can see it, but there’s this huge disconnect,” said Ilyse Sakamoto, outdoor education director at Bogus Basin. “I went out to Nampa in the fall to talk to some teachers about the program, and a little boy asked me if Bogus Basin is in another state.”

SnowSchool takes nearly every third-, fourthand fifth-grader in the Treasure Valley on a oneday journey around the mountain on snowshoes.

Sakamoto and her volunteers teach kids about winter ecology and snow science while letting them experience snowshoeing for the first time.

She tries to target Title I schools first, giving kids who haven’t otherwise had the opportunity a chance to experience Bogus Basin. The field trip costs $5 per kid, but it’s free if the family can’t afford it.

Sakamoto and a handful of volunteers recently led Mrs. Rebecca Taylor’s fifth-grade class from Whitney Elementary on a day-long adventure devoted to snow. The kids divided up in groups of six, with each group assigned a SnowSchool leader. They strapped on MSR snowshoes—with a lot of help—and set off at an awkward gait through clear, cold sunshine on Bogus Basin’s snowshoe trails.

SnowSchool started in 2005 as a recreationbased program, getting kids playing in the snow and trying out snowshoes. In recent years, however, it has aligned itself with classroom curriculum. Sakamoto pointed out animal tracks and talked about winter ecology.

She stopped to talk about the trees of the Boise National Forest, plucking needles off a Douglas fir and encouraging the kids to taste them.

“What do they taste like to you?” she asked.

“Does the taste remind you of a particular 22 | FEBRUARY 3–9, 2016 | BOISEweekly

Jeremy Perez, 10, spent the school day at Bogus Basin with his class, learning about snow science and winter ecology through SnowSchool. His favorite part: sliding down the slopes on his belly.

memory? How about the trees you bring into your house for Christmas? Those are usually Douglas firs.”

The kids laughed and grimaced at the bitter taste of pine needles, then moved on to an upward trek to Bogus Basin’s SNOTEL site. There, Sakamoto talked about the weather station and how to calculate snow-water equivalent measurements. She scooped a pile of snow into a Nalgene bottle that she planned to microwave later. They all made their best guesses of how much water would remain.

Sometimes the kids’ guesses were a little off kilter. When they tried to guess how deep the snowpack was, they came up with “six feet,” “seven inches” and “one giraffe neck.”

Sakomoto handed them shovels and instructed them to dig snow pits all the way to the ground.

Turns out, the snow was 45 inches deep in that spot. To be fair, that’s a little less than three-quarters the length of the average giraffe neck.

The snowfall at Bogus has been the best the mountain has seen in years. More than 130 inches have fallen there since November, and SnowSchool has experienced the effects.

“Last year, it was so hard because there was no snow,” Sakamoto said. “We had to turn our lessons into ecology and survival classes. Digging snow pits was hard because there were only a few patches of undisturbed snow. This year, we’re having the opposite problem. It’s taking the kids way longer to dig their snow pits, which means we have to hurry through other lessons.

Sakamoto said it’s a good problem to have, but the challenge was clear when 10-year-old Iyari Ayala and her friend, Cinaya Gilbert, also 10, struggled to stay above the powder. At one point,

Ayala’s snowshoe post-holed deep into the snow.

It took several minutes of scrambling, pushing and shoving to get her out.

Disaster averted, the kids packed into an igloo built into the mountainside. It was a tight fit with six students and Sakamoto, but they nestled close together on the snow bench and looked up at the uneven blocks of snow holding the shelter together. While it was 30 degrees outside, the igloo stayed a toasty 45 degrees.

While the kids had the chance to conduct experiments in the snowy landscape, Bogus Basin’s SnowSchool is itself an experiment. Run in partnership with the Winter Wildlands Alliance in Boise, the national organization has expanded the SnowSchool program across the country. Bogus has become the testing ground for new activities, experiments and lesson plans.

Taylor’s fifth-graders laughed and spread ash on their faces from a nearby burnt tree and held clumsy races on their snowshoes. Their favorite part came at the end, when they got to slide on their stomachs down some packed-out slopes.

“It was way more fun than I thought,” Gilbert said at the end of the day. “I thought it would be about science and we would sit in a classroom, but really we got to have fun while doing science.”

By the time spring break rolls around, as many as 2,200 kids will have gone through SnowSchool at Bogus this season.

“We get some kids up here that hate it.

Their hands are freezing, they keep taking their gloves off, they’re just having a miserable time,” Sakamoto said. “My goal is always to help each child, support them in a way that they can find something they enjoy, something that makes them want to explore more.”

BEERGUZZLER YOU SAY DOUBLE, I SAY DOPPEL Doppel (double) Bock brews are typically darker and stronger versions of Germany’s Bock lagers. They are sometimes referred to as “liquid bread,” having originally been brewed

by Paulaner monks to provide sustenance during Lenten fasting. The first examples of these strong lagers appeared in the 1600s, but it wasn’t until 1780 that the Doppelbock brew was officially recognized. Their popularity with brewers and consumers alike has spread across the globe.

AYINGER CELEBRATOR, $3-$3.60

A deep ebony in the glass, this is the darkest of the three, topped with a thin head that collapses quickly. The aromas are an enticingly straightforward mix of sugar, malt and dark fruit.

The flavors are delicious plum, fig and date, smooth malt, a touch of char and dark chocolate.

The Doppelbock by which others are judged.

SPATEN OPTIMATOR, $1.60-$1.90

A cola colored pour with a thin head, it offers a complex array of aromas, including sour grain, raisin, smoke, leather, biscuit and toasted malt. Dark fruit, sweet malt and pumpernickel flavors dominate.

Lighter bodied than you might expect from a Doppelbock, which makes for an almost sessionable style, though the 7.6 percent alcohol would argue against it.

WASATCH DEVASTATOR DOUBLE BOCK, $2-$2.30

The two-finger mocha head covering this ruby tinged, dark tea colored brew disappears rapidly. The aromas include caramel, sweet malt, dark fruit and touches of herb and nut. Creamy malt flavors lead off, balanced by light citrus, with a smooth, refreshing finish.

Will 45 Years overcome Rampling’s controversial remarks?

GEORGE PRENTICE If Charlotte Rampling wins this year’s Best Actress Oscar, film historians will point to the final moment in 45 Years, when the camera slowly zooms to a tight close-up of her face.

Around her, friends and family are celebrating a 45th wedding anniversary, and as party guests sway to “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes,” Rampling has stopped dancing. What’s more, she can’t even move.

Without uttering a word, Rampling’s expression reveals horror, disdain and resignation. The mistress of the icy stare since her film debut 50 years ago, Rampling captures all those emotions not by twisting her face into contortions, but by allowing the camera lens to penetrate her soul, revealing her character’s worst fears.

It’s a moment I still can’t shake, nearly five months since first seeing 45 Years at its North American premiere during the Toronto International Film Festival.

Just prior to their Toronto appearance, Rampling and co-star Tom Courtenay picked up Best Actor and Actress prizes from the Berlin InterCharlotte Rampling on the dominance of Caucasian Oscar nominees: “Do we take from this that there should be lots national Film Festival. Since then, Rampling has of minorities everywhere?” filled her trophy shelf with Best Actress honors from the Boston Society of Film Critics, Los Anher cause,” he wrote. “They will not go well with geles Film Critics Association, the (U.S.) National burned up the Internet since its invention. So it American Oscar voters at all.” shouldn’t have come as a terrible surprise when Society of Film Critics, the London Film Critics’ Rampling has since tried to walk back her Rampling, asked to comment on the outcry over Circle and the European Film Awards. original remarks telling CBS News, “I regret that this year’s Oscar nominees being all-Caucasian, A fashion icon of the swinging ’60s, her film my comments could have been misinterpreted.” said in a Jan. 22 French radio inresume boasts amazing variety: All of this is a nasty shame on two counts: First terview that the outcry was actually Georgy Girl (1966); The Damned off, Rampling’s original comments were nothing “racist against whites.”

CITIZEN MO AMER

Palestinian comic on losing everything and gaining acceptance MARCIA FRANKLIN

Mohammed “Mo” Amer, 34, fled Kuwait with his family in 1990 during the Gulf War and settled in Texas. He became mesmerized with comedy when he first saw Bill Cosby perform and started his own comedy career after high school (he opened for Dave Chappelle in Boise last September). Amer performs all over the world, including for American troops.

Amer started his comedy career after high school and is now one of a growing number of popular Muslim-American and Arab-American comedians, whose ranks include Dave Chappelle (for whom Amer headlined in Boise in September, 2015), Dean Obeidallah, Maysoon Zayid and Preacher Moss. He’s performed all over the world, including for American troops.

Since May, 2015, Amer has been touring his one-man show, Legally Homeless,”which plays off the absurdities he experienced as a refugee for nearly 20 years until he became an American citizen in 2009.

On Tuesday, Feb. 9 at 9 a.m. at Boise State University, Amer will give the keynote address and perform at the annual conference of the Idaho Office for Refugees. In March, he’ll travel to Tunisia as part of a U.S. State Departmentsponsored cultural exchange.

Boise Weekly spoke to Amer by phone in advance of his appearance in Boise.

Did you know before you were contacted to do this event that Boise is a preferred resettlement area for refugees?

I had no idea. It totally left-fielded me. It just blew me away.

Because you were a refugee yourself, do these types of events hold a special place for you?

I experienced it firsthand. I had to flee Kuwait with a refugee travel document, went through the process of having to migrate to another country, go through that legal system, learn it, assimilate culturally, try to understand what’s happening, what the references were. You have to really, really dig deep to adjust. It’s something I’m very, very passionate about for sure.

Are we on the cusp of seeing an increased popularity of Muslim-American comics?

I definitely feel like it’s a necessary bridge that BOISE WEEKLY.COM

needs to happen … people are starving to know about Arab culture. They really are very ignorant to it and don’t know it very well. So it’s really, really necessary that we do that. All of the sudden you see hummus everywhere. Hummus is a thing now. It seems like whoever we’re beefing with, we really like their food.

What message will you have for your Feb. 9 audience?

Anything you can do is possible; 100 percent.

It’s not the end. Somebody always has it worse. I know it sounds really cliché, but you have to every day do something functional to hit that goal and it will happen. And one thing that I’ll cherish from what I saw as a really negative and horrible experience, which was being uprooted in war.

Everything was gone. Everything is just material.

You experience the world really differently. And the more time that goes by, the more you smile at adversity.

Do you think comedy can reach those who are fearful of refugees?

Some people just think they’re right, and even though they know they’re wrong, they can’t admit they’re wrong. But I think it’s a small minority that feels that way. So I believe that it’s really effective from that standpoint, that it can really share an experience or give them an experience with somebody they’ve never sat with before.

You toured in Egypt around the time of the uprisings. How do you feel about performing in Tunisia, where the Arab Spring seems to have been more successful?

I find it to be really fascinating to actually have the opportunity to tour Tunisia after all that and see what the vibe is. Super, super excited for that. It really does create a bond and plant seeds.

There really are only two indigenous art forms to America—jazz and standup. So seeing the Arab countries birth some standup comedians is really exciting.

What do you hope people will take away from your performance?

I hope they think it’s really funny. That’s No. 1. That’s the most important thing to me, honestly. But if you can make them laugh and think, then you’ve really got something.

CRISIS

LEGAL BW LEGAL NOTICES

SERVICES

IN THE DISTRICT COURT FOR THE FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT FOR THE STATE OF IDAHO, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF ADA IN RE: LANE DEE JOHNSON. Legal Name Case No. CV NC 1521472 NOTICE OF HEARING A Petition to change the name of Lane Dee Johnson, now residing in the City of Meridian, State of Idaho, has been filed in the District Court in Ada County, Idaho.

The petition proposes that his/her name be changed to Lane Dee Seward because that is the name he has been known by all his life.

The petition will be heard on the 1st day of March, 2016, at the hour of 1:30 p.m. Objections may be filed by any person who can show the court a good reason against the name change. WITNESS my hand and seal of said District Court this 29 day of December, 2015. CLERK OF THE DISTRICT COURT By: DEIRDRE PRICE Deputy Clerk.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): The Bible’s Book of Exodus tells the story of the time Moses almost met God. “Show me your glory, please,” the prophet says to his deity, who’s hiding. “You cannot see my face,” God replies, “but I will show you my back parts.”

That’s good enough for Moses. He agrees. I hope that you, too, will be satisfied with a tantalizingly partial epiphany, Aries. I’m pretty sure that if you ask nicely, you can get a glimpse of a splendor that’s as meaningful to you as God was to Moses. It may only be the “back parts,” but that should still stir you and enrich you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The archaic English word “quaintrelle” refers to a woman who treats her life as a work of art.

She is passionate about cultivating beauty and pleasure and wit in everything she is and does. But she’s not a narcissistic socialite.

She’s not a snooty slave to elitist notions of style. Her aim is higher and sweeter: to be an impeccable, well-crafted fount of inspiration and blessings. I propose we resuscitate and tinker with this term, and make it available to you. In 2016, you Tauruses of all genders will be inclined to incorporate elements of the quaintrelle, and you will also be skilled at doing so. If you have not yet dived into this fun work, start now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Sufi teacher (and Gemini) Idries Shah offered this teaching: “They say that when Fortune knocks, you should open the door. But why should you make Fortune knock, by keeping the door shut?” Let’s make this your featured meditation, Gemini. If there is anywhere in your life where proverbial doors are shut—either in the world outside of you or the world inside of you—unlock them and open them wide. Make it easy for Fortune to reach you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Many Cancerians harbor a chronic ache of melancholy about what they’re missing. The unavailable experience in question could be an adventure they wish they were having or an absent ally they long to be near or a goal they wish they had time to pursue. That’s the bad news.

The good news is that you can harness the chronic ache. In fact, it’s your birthright as a Cancerian to do so. If you summon the willpower to pull yourself up out of the melancholy, you can turn its mild poison into a fuel that drives you to get at least some of what you’ve been missing. Now is a favorable time to do just that.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): How will the next chapter of your story unfold? I suspect there are two possible scenarios. In one version, the abundance of choices

28 | FEBRUARY 3–9, 2016 | BOISEweekly

overwhelms you. You get bogged down in an exciting but debilitating muddle, and become frazzled, frenetic and overwrought. In the other possible scenario, you navigate your way through the lavish freedom with finesse. Your intuition reveals exactly how to make good use of the fertile contradictions. You’re crafty, adaptable and effective. So which way will you go? How will the tale unfold? I think it’s completely up to you. Blind fate will have little to do with it. For best results, all you have to do is stay in close touch with the shining vision of what you really want.

says Irish writer Colum McCann.

Normally I wouldn’t dream of encouraging you to make the same declaration, Libra. My instinct is to help you do everything necessary to maintain harmony. But now is one of those rare times when you can thrive on what happens when you become a bit tilted or uneven or irregular. That’s because the influences that unbalance you will be the same influences that tickle your fancy and charge your batteries and ring your bell and sizzle your bacon.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “To hell with my suffering,” wrote Arthur Rimbaud in his poem “May Banners.” I suggest you make that your mantra for now. Anytime you feel a sour thought impinging on your perceptions, say, “To hell with my suffering.” Then immediately follow it up with an expostulation from another Rimbaud poem, “It’s all too beautiful.” Be ruthless about this, Virgo. If you sense an imminent outbreak of pettiness, or if a critical voice in your head blurts out a curse, or if a pesky ghost nags you, simply say, “To hell with my suffering,” and then, “It’s all too beautiful.”

In this way, you can take advantage of the fact that you now have more power over your emotional pain than usual.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The African Association was a 19th century British group dedicated to exploring West Africa.

Its members hoped to remedy Europeans’ ignorance about the region’s geography. In one of the Association’s most ambitious projects, it commissioned an adventurer named Henry Nicholls to discover the origin and chart the course of the legendary Niger River.

Nicholls and his crew set out by ship in their quest, traveling north up a river that emptied into the Gulf of Guinea. They didn’t realize, and never figured out, that they were already on the Niger River. I’m wondering if there’s a comparable situation going on in your life, Scorpio.

You may be looking for something that you have already found.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “I like people who unbalance me,”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Richard P. Feynman was a brilliant

physicist who won a Nobel Prize in 1965 for his pioneering work in quantum electrodynamics. He also played the bongo drums and was a competent artist. Excessive pride was not a problem for him.

“I’m smart enough to know that I’m dumb,” he testified. “The first principle is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool.” I suggest you adopt him as your role model for the next two weeks, Sagittarius. All of us need periodic reminders that we’ve got a lot to learn, and this is your time. Be extra vigilant in protecting yourself from your own misinformation and misdirection.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Food connoisseur Anthony Bourdain has a TV show that enables him to travel the globe indulging in his love of exotic cuisine. He takes his sensual delights seriously. In Charleston, S.C., he was ecstatic to experience the flavorful bliss of soft-shell crab with lemon pasta and shaved bottarga.

“Frankly,” he told his dining companion, “I’d slit my best friend’s throat for this.” Bourdain was exaggerating for comic effect, but I’m concerned you may actually feel that strongly about the gratifications that are almost within your grasp. I have no problem with you getting super intense in pursuit of your enjoyment, but please stop short of taking extreme measures.

You know why.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may sometimes be drawn to people or places or ideas long before they can give you their gifts.

Although you sense their potential value, you might have to ripen before you’ll be ready to receive their full bounty. Here’s how author Elias Canetti expressed it: “There are books that one has for 20 years without reading them, that one always keeps at hand, yet one carefully refrains from reading even a complete sentence. Then after 20 years, there comes a moment when suddenly, as though under a high compulsion, one cannot help taking in such a book from beginning to end, at one sitting: it is like a revelation.” I foresee a comparable transition happening for you, Aquarius.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The Leaning Tower of Pisa is eight stories high, including its belfry, and tilts sideways at a 4-degree angle. When builders started construction back in 1173, they laid a weak foundation in unstable soil, and the building has never stood straight since then. Yet it is the most lucrative tourist attraction in the city of Pisa, and one of the Top10 in Italy. Its flaw is the source of its fame and glory. What’s the equivalent in your world, Pisces?

Now is a favorable time to take new or extra advantage of something you consider imperfect or blemished.

You were looking for something to eat and we ended up at the same restaurant. I was with my friend.

Just wanted to say that you were really cute lol. I think you were looking at me but I couldn’t tell.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CASEY! I just wanted to wish you a Happy 24th Birthday! I hope you’re having a blast in Boise and enjoying your new chapter in life! I hope you’re doing well in general and hope you are loving your new job. I’m sorry things didn’t work out between us.

I wish there was something I could do to fix our friendship. I truly care for you and wish that we did not have to part like this.

MORGAN AT TRADER JOES You were at TJs with a friend because you were being “ghosted.”

DEAR MINERVA, How do you seduce a man?

—Curious and Lonely

DEAR CURIOUS AND LONELY, How to Seduce a Man by Minerva Jayne Step 1: Get up and get ready for your day. Wear whatever clothes you love. Wear your hair however you like. Put on makeup. Or not. It’s your face.

Step 2: Pursue your passions. Paint if you like to paint.

Go to yoga class if you like. Watch Maury if you prefer. Want to save the world? Get your sweet ass out there and do it.

Step 3: Love your body. All of it. Even the parts others might hate. Especially the parts that men think they have a right to an opinion of. It’s your vessel. Cover it in tattoos if you like. Keep it bare if you like. Want plastic surgery? Get it, babe, but it must be you wanting it, not someone else’s expectation. If I had the money I would be getting the Heidi Montag special right stat.

Step 4: Be authentic.

Step 5: Don’t. Seduction is the dishonest way and suggests manipulation and trickery. In 2016 you don’t want to be stuck in the position, or any of the positions the Kama Sutra outlines, where things are not aboveboard. The best way to attract a man is to be yourself (see steps 1-4).

Local company Sibbz Longboards has made a name for itself by crafting top-notch custom skateboards.

Now, owner Tyson Sibbett may find himself a topic of conversation among interior designers and oenophiles, with the launch of Woodz Barrel Board Company, where Sibbett crafts custom boards—and, this spring, furniture from whiskey and wine barrels.

Sibbz Operations Manager Courtney Sibbett said though Woodz is a separate entity, it’s like Sibbz’ “little brother.” They have a similar logo (Sibbz is a bird wearing a crown; Woodz is an owl with a crown) and Woodz also sources locally, Prices vary with barrels from Sockeye. woodzbarrelboardcompany.com “In the next year, we plan to be using 20-50 barrels per month,” Courtney said, adding they use every part of the barrel except the metal ring, even using barrel tops and bottoms to make signage for any retail outlets that will be carrying Woodz designs.

With the kind of clients who’ve bought custom Sibbz boards—Tech 9 and Ziggy Marley, for example—telling people about them, Woodz may need a whole lot of barrel tops.
