EDITOR’S NOTE GOOD AND BAD We have bad news and good news this week. First the bad: disaster is (potentially) looming in the Treasure Valley.

On Page 8, Boise Weekly staff writer Jessica Murri delves into the various types of doom that face the Boise area—from earthquakes, fire and flood to social and economic collapse—and what plans and processes the experts at the Ada County Emergency Management office have in place to help save us.

One of the biggest threats is drought, and that’s another piece of bad news. On Page 24, BW News Editor George Prentice sat down for an interview with Idaho Department of Water Resources Board Chief Brian Patton to talk about the twin trends of increasing temperatures and population growth.

Based on current projections, as many as 1.6 million people may call the Boise Metro Area home by 2065. At the same time, average temperatures in the region could rise between 2 and 4 degrees Fahrenheit by 2050. That’s going to put stress on one of the Treasure Valley’s most precious resources: water. IDWR is looking at an increase in demand of as much as 357 percent in the coming decades, but resource managers are already looking at ways to ease the pinch.

Now the good news: Nestled in the pages of this week’s edition of BW is our annual Bar and Restaurant Guide—a glorious, glossy, 72-page collection of profiles, tidbits, factoids and listings for hundreds of the Treasure Valley’s favorite eateries and drinkeries. This year’s theme was “hidden gems”—casting a spotlight on a handful of the area’s secret (and maybe not-so-secret, depending on how often you get out of the house) bars and restaurants.

The Bar and Restaurant is one of our favorite special publications, and we hope it’s one you enjoy and keep handy all year long.

To cap off the goodness, you’ll also find listings and event picks for April First Thursday, so you have no excuse not to enjoy this fickle spring weather, whether you’re looking for something to do, see, eat or drink.

MAIL WHO’S PAYING FOR THAT? While Idaho’s 2016 legislative session had the potential for significant impact, in many ways our lawmakers failed us. They failed to Add the Words, Close The Gap and raise minimum wage. Instead, one of the bills passed was Senate Bill 1321, also known as the Bible-in-schools bill, which blurs the lines between the separation of church and state in Idaho public schools.

Once Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter signs this bill into law, it would permit the use of a religious text as a reference in all classes, including science classes.

This is an alarming bill for several reasons.

First of all, using a religious text, specifically the Bible, in a science class undermines the integrity of the scientific method, which relies on hypothesis, observation and testability.

Secondly, it privileges Christianity above other religions and spiritual beliefs. Third, it is important to consider whether or not a student would actually feel comfortable leaving the classroom or expressing discomfort when the Bible is referenced in class.

There will be a power differential between the student and teacher, as well as peer pressure to conform.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, this bill raises serious constitutional concerns.

Despite what the bill’s sponsor, Rep. Sage Dixon (R-Ponderay), claims is constitutional based on what “the little Supreme Court in [his] head” tells him, our state attorney general has made it clear that this bill is

BOISEWEEKLY.COM What you missed this week in the digital world.

“specifically prohibited” by the Idaho Constitution. Further, the Idaho Constitution expressly states, “No books, papers, tracts or documents of a political, sectarian or denominational character shall be used.”

Despite what the Constitution clearly states and the attorney general’s warning, the Idaho Legislature still passed Senate Bill 1321.

This type of legislation is harmful to Idaho in more ways than one. Not only does it violate the Constitution, but it is also costly to Idaho taxpayers. Unfortunately, the Idaho Legislature has a habit of passing bills against better judgement that result in Idahoans footing the bill for expensive, ill-fated legal casework.

In 1996, Idaho created a special state fund called the Idaho Constitutional Defense Fund that is supposed to be used to protect state sovereignty in conflicts with the federal government.

However, since its inception, the fund has lost every case except for one, costing the state of Idaho and its taxpayers a total of $2.1 million.

Notably, 2015 was an expensive year for the Idaho Constitutional Defense Fund.

The most costly case the fund has ever lost resulted in Idaho paying more than $628,000 in attorney fees after losing a case defending the state’s unconstitutional ban on same-sex marriage when four lesbian couples sued.

Also in 2015, the second most costly loss resulted in a $474,000 price tag when a woman successfully argued that Idaho’s restrictive abortion access bills were unconstitutional. In this instance, too, lawmakers were warned

that passing restrictive abortion laws posed considerable concerns about constitutionality. Yet, despite the fund’s history of futile lawsuits, this session our lawmakers again saw fit to replenish the nearly dry well and appropriate $2 million more for the Idaho Constitutional Defense Fund.

Other than the sole successful case won in 1996 regarding a settlement negotiation over nuclear waste storage and cleanup in the eastern side of the state, the Idaho Constitutional Defense Fund has operated as a conservative extension of the Republican majority Legislature’s campaign against progressive civil rights issues.

Of the 10 lawsuits, nine were losses and five of those losses were related to same-sex marriage rights and reproductive rights, two of which awarded Planned Parenthood approximately $446,000 in total.

The inevitable Bible-inschools bill lawsuit will soon be on this list, and it is necessary for Idahoans to ask, how much will this cost us?

As Idahoans, we must demand that our taxpayer money be used more effectively by the Legislature than on wasteful legal costs that arise due to passing unconstitutional legislation.

Senate Bill 1321 will almost certainly be taken to court and the state of Idaho will lose.

The Bible-in-schools bill is yet another example of a misuse of Idaho’s Constitutional Defense Fund prompted by irresponsible legislation passed by Idaho lawmakers.

OPINION TRUMP TOUGH?

Or is it all a New Yorg state of mind?

BILL COPE “If’n ol’ Donal’ Trump went up aginst that ol’ Fin Deezul, who d’ y’r think’ld win?”

“Uh... huh? What are you talking about?”

“Simple question, Cope. Say Donal’ Trump went macho t’ macho wit’ Fin Deezul, who d’ y’r think’ld still be standin’ at the end?”

“Red, that’s maybe the stupidest question anyone has ever asked me.”

“OK then, smarmy-pants. Let’s make it that ol’ feller what plays ol’ James Bond. He’s purty good wit’ his fits, ain’t he? That Greg Daniels feller? Let’s say him and Donal’ Trump went toe t’ toe. Who d’ ya’ think’ld win that’n?”

“It’s Daniel Craig, not Greg Daniels. And why on earth would Trump ever be in a fist fight with Daniel Craig? Or Vin Diesel, for that matter.”

“Gull durnit, Cope! I ain’t saying they would be in a fits fight. I’s just askin’ who you think’ld win if’n they were in a fits fight.”

“Well... OK... if I had to say... if I absolutely had to guess who would come out on top in a fist fight between Donald Trump and Daniel Craig... or Vin Diesel... I’d say it would be Daniel Craig.

Or Vin Diesel. No question. There. You happy?”

“Wrong, Cope! Jus’ like y’ al’ays is! Y’r forgettin’ that the James Bond feller, and Fin Deezul too, ain’t real! They’s movie stars, tha’s all. An’ ev’r thin’ they do in them movies is made-up stuff.

Just acause they look tough in a movie don’ mean they really are tough.”

“And you’re saying that Donald Trump really is tough, is that it? That’s there’s nothing made-up about what we see him doing?”

“Ain’t you been lis’nin’ to what he’s been sayin’, Cope? ‘Bout how he’d like t’ be punchin’ them protasters in the mug? ‘Bout how if’n it were up to him, they’d be haulin’ them heckaleers out o’ there on stretchers? ‘Bout how ever’body’s such pansies now-a-days that nobody wants t’ hurt nobody no more, like they did back in the good ol’ days. That ain’t no made-up actin’ stuff.

Tha’s the real deal, Cope! Tha’s the kind o’ tough talk what they only preten’ t’ do in movies!”

“Ah, Red. Please tell you’re not foolish enough to believe Trump is a tough guy himself, just because he can prod the dunces in his audience to act like vicious apes.”

“Who’s you callin’ fictshus apes, Cope? Them’s real apes! Nothin’ fictshus about ‘em! An’ don’ tell me ol’ Donal’ Trump ain’t no real tough feller, either. He’s growed up in New Yorg City, f’r cryin’ out loud! Don’ you know nothin’ ‘bout New Yorgers!? Ain’t you never seen no Marvin Scorpeezee movies!?”

“Trump grew up the son of a rich man, Red. He grew up in private schools. He grew up privileged from day one, your Donald Trump.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

He never worked for anyone but his daddy. He dodged the draft and never served in the military.

He started out his own career with a milliondollar kick-start. So tell me, Red... at what point in this pampered bastard’s life did he ever punch anyone in the mug or put someone on a stretcher himself? Why, I’d be damned surprised to learn he was ever in a fist fight in his life.

“Then hows come he’s got so many o’ his follower fellers inspirated to punch a heckaleer?

Huh? Hows come he can incitipate that kind o’ boldness out o’ folks if’n’ they di’n’ see that kind o’ boldness out o’ him?”

“You have it ass-backwards, pal. There’s nothing bold about sucker punching a protester when you’re surrounded by a mob of morons egging you on. It’s what cowards do. Bullying, mindless cowards. And they’re being ‘incitipated’ to do it by the biggest, bullying-est, mindless-est coward in the room. A coward who probably hasn’t been without a bodyguard at his back for decades. A coward who insults and debases and demeans others precisely because he knows he will never personally have to suffer any consequences for his words. Tell you the truth, Red, I picture Trump as more of a slapper, not a slugger. And the way he talks about women, I can pretty well guess who he’s been slapping.”

“You’s ain’t implistatin’ ol’ Donal’s the sort o’ man what’d whop a female, I hope, Cope.”

“Sure as hell am. In every measure that counts as decency, morality and civility, I don’t think there’s a breath of difference between Trump and the lowest, most abusive bum that you’ll ever come across in a domestic violence court. He’s not tough. He’s just plain trashy.”

“An’ wha’s wrong wit’ that? Gull durn, Cope, wit’out trashy, we wouldn’t have no Monster Truck rallys ‘r no professional wrestlin’. Wit’out trashy, we wouldn’t have motorsickles what ain’t got no mufflers, an’ Carl’s Jr, advertisin’, an’ the National Enquirement mag’zine, an’ Honey Boo Boo ‘r Duck Dynasty! Wit’out trashy, there woul’n’t be no hats worn inside, n’r most o’ country music, n’r most o’ wha’s on that Facebook, n’r most o’ what that Lady Gaga does t’ get attention. We wouldn’t have shock jocks ‘r cowboy clothes ‘r Andy Sandler movies ‘r tank tops ‘r pay-day loan joints ‘r Justin Beaver. Cope, you’d ought face it... trashy is what this country is all about! An’ ain’t nobody un’erstands that better’n ol’ Donal’ Trump! We’s finally gettin’ th’ pres’dential canderdate we deserve!

“Wow, Red. I don’t think I could have said that better myself. Out of the mouth of boobs, huh?

NEWS TO CATCH A RAPIST Law attempts to address Idaho’s ‘rape myth’ GEORGE PRENTICE

The king and queen of this year’s IFF prom? Reps.

Ron Nate and Heather Scott.

IDAHO FREEDOM FOUNDATION’S REPORT CARD: HURRAHS OR HYPOCRISY? Depending on how you categorize the Idaho Freedom Foundation, the far-right leaning lobbyist and media organization’s “Freedom Index” is either a badge of honor, campaign fodder or laughable.

The reputation of the Idaho Legislature may be among the most conservative in the country, but it isn’t enough for IFF Executive Director Wayne Hoffman, who believes the body is certainly among the most Republican.

“But conservative? Not even close,” said Hoffman. “Intentionally or innocently, the conservative label is a misnomer that serves to confuse voters.”

Which is why, Hoffman said, it has been left to his organization to look at each bill introduced at the Statehouse, decide if it grows or shrinks government, raises or lowers taxes, and determine whether it “supports special interests or the free market.”

Then the index uses a legislator’s voting scorecard to determine his or her approbation from IFF. King and queen of the 2016 IFF prom are Reps. Ron Nate (R-Rexburg) and Heather Scott (R-Blanchard), each earning marks higher than 97 percent on the IFF index.

Nate and Scott both voted against a measure to include workers’ compensation coverage for firefighters diagnosed with cancer. Each also opposed three of this year’s seven K-12 public school budget bills.

Other legislators—all Republicans—who got high marks on the 2016 IFF Freedom Index were Reps. Steve Harris (Meridian), Shannon McMillan (Silverton), Sage Dixon (Ponderay) and Kathleen Sims (Coeur d’Alene); and Sens. Steve Vick (Dalton Gardens), Bob Nonini (Coeur d’Alene) and Sheryl Nuxoll (Cottonwood). All except Nate and Harris are from northern Idaho.

Bingham County Sheriff Craig Rowland should take note that, effective July 1, House Bill 528 will become law in Idaho. In spite of his prior remarks regarding sexual assault, when he insisted “the majority of our rapes … are actually consensual sex,” he will, henceforth be required to forward all evidence of a possible rape to an Idaho State Police forensics lab or have a very good reason reason why he hasn’t. And, no matter how much Rowland may think that the Idaho Legislature should “not dictate what we need to do,” his office will also be required to document all rape kits, their status and have the Bingham County prosecutor verify the log.

Most Idahoans first heard of Sheriff Craig Rowland when on March 14 the eastern Idaho lawman stunned residents in his community, as well as readers of national media outlets like the Washington Post and Jezebel, when he said most rapes were consensual.

Outrage soon followed, with WaPo’s headline “The Rape Myth That Lives On in Idaho” and Jezebel’s “Idaho Sheriff: No Need for Rape Kits.”

Rowland said he was pushing back against HB 528, a first-of-its-kind piece of Idaho legislation, calling for the codification of systems, procedures and reporting of sexual assault evidence. While he walked back his comments four days later, stating he “misspoke,” Rowland held firm that a number of rape kits need not be sent to state forensics lab.

He even portrayed himself as a victim, alleging he had become the target of cyberbullying from people who responded to his initial remarks.

Still, the legislation passed with unanimous support from the Idaho House and Senate and was signed into law by Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter nine days after Rowland’s 15 minutes of shame.

“I wish I could say that I was surprised by Sheriff Rowland’s remarks. I don’t even know the man,” said Rep. Melissa Wintrow (D-Boise).

“That said, I truly hope to meet and talk with Sheriff Rowland about this some day. I look forward to that conversation.”

Idaho’s new rape evidence kit law will still give sheriffs like Rowland discretion to determine if a rape kit should not be tested if “there is no evidence to support a crime being committed,” or if “an adult victim expressly indicates that no further forensic examination or testing occur.”

The law also requires a county prosecutor to independently review that decision.

Filling the shelves of a heavily-guarded room at the ISP crime lab are nearly 35,000 DNA swabs of convicted felons, processed into Idaho’s state prison system over the past few years.

In July 2015, USA Today and journalists from more than 75 Gannett newspapers conducted a nationwide survey of untested rape kits and found at least 70,000 neglected kits. An “agency-byagency count” by the paper “covered only a fraction of the nation’s 18,000 police departments, suggesting that the real number of untested rape kits in the U.S. reaches into the hundreds of thousands.”

In November 2015, the Idaho-Press Tribune shocked readers when it reported “dozens of rape kits in Canyon County sit on shelves untested.”

The Press-Tribune revealed the Caldwell Police Department had sent only 65 percent of its rape kits for testing at the Idaho State Police Forensics Lab while Nampa had only forwarded 10 percent of its rape evidence kits for testing.

It turns out that by the time the Press-Tribune published its report, the man in charge of the ISP crime lab was already trying to address the issue.

“Actually, it was the summer of 2014 when much of the nation was becoming aware of huge numbers of untested rape kits in major cities across the U.S.,” said Matthew Gamette, ISP Laboratory Systems director. “But ISP needed to be respectful. We’re not an agency that oversees other law enforcement agency in Idaho, nor should we be.”

That said, the officials at the ISP labs—with locations in Meridian, Coeur d’Alene and Pocatello—didn’t know what they didn’t have, at least when it came to rape kits that were or were not forwarded from local law enforcement agencies.

“Yes, I think that’s a fair assessment,” said Gamette. “But the public should know that there were no rape kits here at the forensics lab that were backlogged or not tested. We simply didn’t have them because they had not been sent here”

Gamette, who joined ISP as systems quality manager at the crime lab in 2008 and rose to the lab’s top job in 2014, began visiting local law enforcement agencies across Idaho in an attempt to address inconsistencies or delays of untested rape kits. Ultimately, Gamette decided to host a series of roundtable meetings with law enforcement officers, prosecutors, rape victim advocates, physicians, hospital administrators and representatives of the Idaho Supreme Court.

“I asked Matthew to sit in on one of those interagency meetings last year,” said Wintrow, who was just coming off her freshman year in the Idaho House in 2015 after spending a good portion of her professional life as a women’s rights advocate and the first director of Boise State University’s Women’s Center (renamed the Gender Equity Center in February). “The public should know that Matthew is a hero. He took the initiative on this where, quite frankly, no one else had before.”

Attendees of those interagency roundtable discussions agreed something needed to be done to address the inconsistencies or delays of handling evidence of sexual assault. Thus was born House Bill 528.

Despite its unanimous passage through the House and Senate, it wasn’t easy to accomplish.

“There was a lot going on behind the scenes.

This legislation needed multiple rewrites,” said Wintrow, who credits Gamette and Kelly Miller, executive director of the Idaho Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence, for doing much of the heavy lifting on crafting the bill. “And it came in at the 11th hour, just under the wire, to get consideration. Keep in mind that nothing like this had ever been tried before in Idaho.”

Wintrow said she secured support for the bill BOISE WEEKLY.COM

from representatives of the Idaho Chiefs of Police Association while the Idaho Sheriff’s Association indicated it would not oppose the bill.

As written, the new law requires that, unless a victim expresses otherwise, “sexual evidence kits are tested in a timely manner.” As for “timely,” the legislation directs local law enforcement to forward the evidence to ISP forensic services after “no later than 30 days.” The lab must then complete its forensics exam within 90 days of receipt.

The kit is then returned to the local law enforcement agency for evidentiary purposes.

“But our internal goal is to get them processed within 30 days,” said Gamette. “Again, there may be a reason that local law enforcement may choose not to send the rape kit to the lab. And that decision is still in their hands. And the new law requires that second level of oversight from the county prosecutor.”

Sheriff Rowland’s comments notwithstanding, the question remains: Why had so many rape kits not been forwarded to the forensics lab?

“My sense is that some law enforcement agencies thought that there was no need to forward an evidence kit if identity of the suspect was not a question. In other words, they knew the suspect was the husband or boyfriend,” said Gamette.

“So we needed to pose our question in a different fashion to local law enforcement: ‘What if that same individual, say if it was a husband or boyfriend, turned out to be a habitual rapist, but his DNA was never in the database?’”

The intense security of that database was one of the impressive aspects of the operation on display when Boise Weekly was recently granted rare access to ISP’s Meridian crime lab.

“My colleagues that you’ll meet here today are scientists. Not technicians, mind you, but scientists. They have scientific degrees with heavy emphasis on biology and chemistry. They think as scientists and they testify as scientists,” said Gamette, adding that a fair amount of his colleagues are regularly called upon to testify in criminal courtrooms throughout Idaho.

The security and sterility of the crime lab is omnipresent. One of the heavily guarded rooms is framed by dozens of racks along its walls, similar in fashion to a massive library. Filling the shelves of those racks are folders—approximately 35,000 at last count—each containing the DNA swab of a convicted felon processed into Idaho’s state prison system over the past few years. Each white folder includes the swab, fingerprints and demographic data. All of that information is analyzed by a crime lab scientist and registered electronically into a nationwide DNA database, but the room serves as the Idaho repository of DNA evidence.

“When I got here in 2008, we had about 4,000 samples in the database. But it has grown substantially over the years and the more samples that come in, the more likely that we’re going to get a hit from an unsolved crime,” said Gamette.

Who has the distinction of being at the bottom of IFF’s “Freedom Index”? Rep. Hy Kloc (D-Boise).

These two forensic latent print scientists are part of the approximately 40 scientists who work in Idaho State Police’s crime labs in Meridian, Coeur d’Alene and Pocatello.

national crime lab databases each minute, and it’s a good bet that the “hit” can possibly solve a years-old cold case or even exonerate someone who has been wrongly accused.

“It was just a couple of years ago, right here in Meridian, that police had identified someone they thought was responsible for a crime. But when we ran his DNA against the database, it turned out that someone from California happened to be in our area at that same time,” said Gamette. “To their credit, investigators went in the different direction and the original suspect wasn’t convicted.”

On the flip-side, Gamette recounted a recent sexual assault of a young Idaho girl in the southern region of the state.

“And the suspects, a couple of truck drivers, thought they were being smart by dumping the body inside the Idaho state line before making their getaway,” said Gamette. “But the database provided a cross-country link to help us discover that those truck drivers were from Florida. For an investigator, a lead like that is invaluable.”

DNA testing is about to dramatically expand at the ISP crime lab. A second DNA lab has opened just down the hall and Gamette said he’ll soon expand his staff, adding scientists in the coming months to accommodate the rape kit law.

“We’ll be adding new chemists, a toxicologist and latent-print analysts. Our salaries aren’t nearly as high as they are in neighboring states, but we’ve been pretty successful in keeping our team,” said Gamette.

Further still down the hall, a team of analysts was combing through evidence in ISP’s fingerprint lab.

“You may remember the case of some human remains discovered in the Boise Foothills,” said one of the scientists who asked not to be identi-

fied for security purposes. She was referring to a Feb. 13 incident where a hiker found the remains on a path, which had been closed during the winter months.

“It was pretty amazing. I hadn’t been involved in something like that I’ve been with ISP for three years,” she said. “The skin was quite damaged; the top layer was completely gone. But a piece of skin from one finger helped us identify the deceased.”

The woman was identified as Ronnie Parrott, 42, who had been missing since August 2015.

The Meridian crime lab serves all of the Treasure Valley. The Coeur d’Alene ISP forensic lab handles everything north of Adams and Valley counties and the Pocatello lab serves eastern and southern Idaho, including Twin Falls. Still, all DNA cases are forwarded to and worked at the Meridian lab. And those cases will now include a good number of untested sexual assault evidence kits that had been sitting on shelves in in Canyon County.

The Press-Tribune reported April 1 that the Caldwell Police Department would be forwarding its backlogged rape kits to the ISP crime lab in the next few weeks, while the Nampa Police Department announced it would soon submit about 90 untested rape evidence kits.

Meanwhile, no word yet the on the number of rape kits to be forwarded from Sheriff Rowland’s Bingham County Sheriff’s Office.

“But we’ll know how many are there and how many have been submitted or not,” said Wintrow, pointing to another part of the new legislation. “A detailed report will be submitted to the Legislature, beginning next January. And every rape kit will be referenced in the report. And if there is some reason that it hasn’t been tested, they’ll need to tell us why.”

Reps. Hy Kloc (Boise), Ilana Rubel (Boise), John McCrostie (Garden 6 City), Melissa Wintrow (Boise), Elaine Smith (Pocatello) and Phyllis King (Boise).

Hoffman said too many legislators with an “R” attached to their name vote to support “big government” yet “return home to wave the conservative banner, hoping that none dare challenge their rhetoric.”

Hoffman and IFF’s particular ire is directed at Idaho Republicans who score low or in the middle of the IFF pack, because they might support the proposed school budget or more government oversight. The lowest-ranking Republican in the 2016 IFF Freedom Index is Rep. Fred Wood (Burley) a five-term legislator and chairman of the House Health and Welfare Committee. Wood made headlines when he and Rep. Lance Clow (R-Twin Falls) joined House Democrats in opposing legislation to grant an additional $2 million in state funds to fuel attorneys fees in constitutional lawsuits that Idaho nearly always loses.

Rep. Kelley Packer (R-McCammon) didn’t get the worst marks among her GOP colleagues on this year’s IFF Freedom Index— with a D-minus—and 36 other Republican members of the Idaho House and Senate got lower grades. Nonetheless, Packer did have some of the choicest words for IFF when, in February, she said, “I don’t know that they’re necessarily an honest, conservative voice.”

In a mid-session podcast, Packer told her constituents IFF was practicing its own version of bullying, adding, “There’s just a lot of ironies and hypocrisies that I see in place.”

As for Democrats who scored better than some Republicans on the IFF Freedom Index, Sens. Dan Rudolph (Moscow), Grant Burgoyne (Boise) and Cherie Buckner-Webb (Boise) scored higher than Rep. Wood, Sen. Fred Martin (Boise) and Senate Majority Leader Sen. Bart Davis (Idaho Falls).

WHEN DISASTER STRIKES A look at how county officials—and others—prepare for the worst JESSICA MURRI

L

ucky Peak is considered a high-hazard dam.

“Does that frighten you?” asked Paul “Crash” Marusich, the mitigation specialist for Ada County Emergency Management.

“Well it shouldn’t,” he added. “High-hazard only means that we live beneath it. It’s inspected regularly, it’s monitored constantly and the dam is a quarter-mile wide at the base. The chances of it breaking are infinitesimal.”

Marusich isn’t going to say it’s impossible, though.

“I’m just going to say getting struck by lightning twice while holding a winning lottery ticket is probably better than the chance of the 8 | APRIL 6–12, 2016 | BOISEweekly

dam breaking.”

Regardless of how slight the chances, Ada County Emergency Management has a dam failure plan, as well as a 100-page flood response plan.

According to Marusich, the dam doesn’t actually need to burst for the Treasure Valley to be in big trouble. There are three reservoirs situated above Boise and, when they get full around this time of year, they hold a collective 1 million acre feet of water.

“We are the closest community of our size to a dam in the nation,” Marusich said. “Let’s say the water is doing something called piping,

where water is coming through in little spots.

Crews are starting to repair it, but they have to relieve pressure on the dam by letting out the maximum amount of water they can, which is 25,000 cubic feet per second. We’re already flooding town at that point.”

The Boise River is flowing at around 2,000 cfs right now. At 25,000 cfs, Boise State University, Zoo Boise, Ann Morrison Park and most of Garden City would be flooded. If the dam is already letting as much water out as it can and the reservoir is still too full, it could lead to what Marusich called a “spillway event,” which is when the water has to go some-

where—so it goes over the top.

“Without the dam failing, we’re pushing 120,000 cfs through town,” Marusich said.

“Now, if the dam breached—because you would think maybe our agency actually looked at that—and the reservoirs were full, it would take somewhere between 50 minutes to two hours for the water to get to downtown Boise.”

Marusich explained that when the water reached downtown, it would be 40 feet high, submerging just about every building lower than four stories.

“We’re disaster nerds,” he said. “We really are.”

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

DISASTER NERDS Six people work in the Ada County Emergency Management office. Together, they create, update and exercise emergency preparedness plans for earthquakes, floods, mass casualty events, hazardous material response, terrorist attacks, wildfire, extreme weather and even Mormon cricket swarms (think: plague of locusts).

But preparing for the worst in Ada County comes down to the same thing that consumes most officer workers’ 9-to-5: answering email.

Plus, there are a lot of conference calls and the occasional interagency drill.The Ada County Emergency Management office is not a team of first responders; rather, they are delegators who take control when disaster strikes, organizing emergency services and fire departments, law enforcement and triage.

“Maintaining those relationships, that unity, is part of our daily job,” Marusich said. “One of the popular sayings in emergency management is, ‘You don’t want to be exchanging business cards over the rubble pile.’”

Marusich didn’t see himself in emergency planning until a few years ago, when his wife wanted to move the family to Boise. He left his job as a park ranger in Marigold County, Ariz., where he managed 122,000 open acres and handled a lot of rattlesnakes.

Myla Jeffries didn’t plan on entering the field of emergency preparation, either. She was studying engineering with an emphasis on architectural design, but thought the recession would make it hard to find employment, so she job shadowed an emergency preparation specialist on a whim and changed her major.

The upbeat 23-year-old, who graduates with a degree in emergency management from Idaho State University this spring, is the ACEM community outreach specialist.

“I just got glued to it,” Jeffries said.

Her job includes keeping a watchful eye on Twitter and other social media to make sure all is well in the valley. She also sends out a lot of weather updates.

“If there’s one thing people love, it’s weather alerts,” she said.

Jeffries also fights an uphill battle of convincing people to maintain 72-hour kits.

“Depending on the incident, if it’s bad enough, it could take at least three days before the government can help you,” Jeffries said. “A lot of what I hear is, ‘Yeah, I have all this gear somewhere,’ but it’s spread out. People don’t actually have one designated kit they can grab.”

The Ada County Emergency Preparedness Guide encourages families to have kits that include a gallon of water per person, per day; ready-to-eat canned and dehydrated meals, as well as comfort foods like cookies; a first-aid kit; a battery-operated radio; a flashlight and tent; toilet paper and personal hygiene items; clothing; sturdy boots; important medications; BOISE WEEKLY.COM

cash; and legal documents such as passports, birth certificates and bank account information.

Another of Jeffries’ tasks is to remind people their kits need to be updated every six months to remove expired food and make sure clothes still fit.

“I have two 72-hour kits,” she said. “One in my car and one in my house.”

Marusich admitted he only has one kit in his car, explaining that the one in his house is “in a bit of disarray,” but when disaster strikes, families need to be able to leave their homes— kits in hand—within eight-10 minutes.

Case in point: the 2008 Oregon Trail Fire that hit southeast Boise. The city declared it a disaster as the Emergency Management office dispatched trucks from every firehouse in the community.

“We had 45 fire units on one fire,” Marusich said. “Had a single other fire kicked open that night anywhere, it would have been an even bigger disaster. We were all in one spot, and there wasn’t anything left to go anywhere else.

That was the tipping point.”

The Oregon Trail Fire burned 10 homes to the ground and damaged nine others. Jeffries said Boise police knocked on the door of a house to evacuate one couple, and they didn’t even have time to grab their kit—their house was in flames four minutes later.

“This valley has experienced a growth spurt from people out of state and when I talk to people, they’re so shocked to find out things like this can happen in Idaho,” Jeffries said. “Those who are from California, they’re shocked to find out we can have an earthquake in Boise. A lot of them got rid of their earthquake kits when they left California. ‘No, no, no. Bring that back,’ I tell them. ‘You need that.’”

ON OUR OWN Emergency preparedness is a relatively new career field. Emergency management offices didn’t even exist until the early 1980s. Prior to that, the field was called “civil defense” and it had more to do with the fear of nukes than natural disasters.

“President Carter formed FEMA [the Federal Emergency Management Agency] and that was the birth of our profession,” he said.

Jeffries said the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks brought a new sense of importance to emergency preparation. The field became more of a profession and universities began offering degrees. Because emergency management is so new, Marusich said it’s more of an art than a science, and he’s working with a nearly blank canvas. His focus is on the wildfire hazard mitigation plan, rewriting it to in10 clude the wild/urban interface surrounding Boise. He’s looking carefully at each BOISEweekly | APRIL 6–12, 2016 | 9

The tent—supported by a scaffolding of lightweight steel rods—folds into a 6-by4-foot package, easily stored in a vehicle or garage.

Bob Zeller works for Vital Domes, helping to sew the giant canvas sheets together and promote the survival shelters at trade shows around the country. The Utah-based company only started in June 2015, but Zeller said it has already sold 25 shelters, which can cost up to $10,000.

“I want to be in a position to help others and [having a dome] would be one way to do it,” Zeller said. “But I do not trust the government by any means. My answer is absolutely not—the government cannot protect us if something drastic happens. I don’t know what that emergency might be, but I do know I’ve got a cabinet full of ammo; I have a closet full of guns.”

The only thing Zeller and Jeffries do agree on is the importance of a 72-hour kit. Except Zeller’s kit will last him and his 26 family members not only three days, but three years.

“There are various levels in the prepper community, from people who buy an extra can of soup every week at the grocery store, to zombie killers,” Zeller said. “I hope I am closer to the zombie killers. I know how to load my weapons. I know how to unload them, too.”

Before Zeller joined Vital Domes, he worked with sewing machines for 45 years, sewing everything from airbags to lingerie.

neighborhood on the outskirts of town and figuring out the real risk of wildfire.

Almost all the counties’ plans are online at adacounty.id.gov/accem. The plans reveal that a Level 1 Mass Casualty Incident involves more than 150 patients, which could be injured or dead from things like multiple vehicle collisions, building collapses, mass transit accidents, hazmat incidents, weapons of mass destruction or victims of multiple shootings.

The plan lays out a triage process and provides checklists to incident commanders, safety and liaison officers, and medical branch directors; and mobilizes volunteers. It is not light reading.

Marusich and Jeffries said it’s important to note that if disaster was to strike the Treasure Valley, we’re pretty much on our own. There are no sizable population centers nearby to offer help.

“We’re the most isolated community of our size in the United States,” Marusich said. “Once we’re out, it’s going to take awhile for help to get here, which is why it is so important that the public is personally prepared.”

He added, “It’s not that the government doesn’t want to help you. It’s that we’re overwhelmed. We’ll be working nonstop and it still won’t be enough. That’s why it’s called a disaster.”

ard said. “Some of them are very well thoughtout and very good plans. But what happens when we have a societal or economic collapse?

If we have a solar flare or an EMP and everything stops working, their plans probably aren’t going to hold up very long. That is what we are trying to prepare for, the other ‘what-if ’s.’

We can be a stabilizing force that can help the community.”

Swickard said the Light Foot Militia— which includes Ada, Canyon and Gem counties—has around 110 members. They meet on the first Tuesday of every month.

Marusich, from the Ada County Emergency Management office, has only had one conversation with the Light Foot Militia.

“They approached us once because they wanted a CERT [Community Emergency Response Team] class, and I explained to them that anyone wearing the green backpack for CERT during a disaster is not allowed to carry a firearm,” Marusich said. “That was the last time they talked to me.

“The Light Foot Militia will never be activated by this office,” he added.

WHEN DISASTER STRIKES According to Marusich and Jeffries, nowhere is safe. The largest risks in the Treasure Valley revolve around weather—from extreme cold and ice storms to extreme heat and brownouts—or severe wind events. It’s unlikely, but Boise could even get a tornado.

“There’s nowhere you could live that’s 100 percent safe,” Marusich said.

“It’s not an if, it’s a when,” added Jeffries.

But Marusich said if disaster does strike, Boise is the right city to live in.

“Anytime anything bad has happened here, this entire community has come together,” Marusich said. “They’ve rallied and they’ve assisted one another and it’s one of the most awesome things about living here. That’s the nature of people in this area. We’re anticipating the exact same thing would happen in a disaster. It wouldn’t be, ‘Let’s head to Wal-Mart with our guns,’ it would be, ‘Let’s try to help each other.’”

To get a better idea of how prepared each resident of the Treasure Valley is, Marusich is asking the community to take the Ada County Hazard Mitigation Survey online. The survey takes around 10 minutes and asks questions about the level of concern for natural disasters, and what sort of steps the survey responder has taken in his or her household to prepare for a hazard event.

So far, Marusich’s office has received about 500 responses.

“Generally,” he said, “people are not as prepared as they’d like to be and they’re not as aware as they thought they were.”

Papa and his mamas.

Catherine, Maria and Pilar are three of the most well-known women in Ernest Hemingway’s revered novels A Farewell to Arms and For Whom the Bell Tolls. According to Hemingway scholar Dr. Stacey Guill, the female characters in Hemingway’s books are an “interesting and controversial” topic.

Guill will host a punchy presentation in the council chambers at Boise City Hall (150 N. Capitol Blvd.), examining Hemingway’s fictional women and whether the author created them in the shade of his own perceived misogyny.

“Critics say he only writes women characters who are man-hating victims, or others who just want to please their men and have no life of their own,” Guill said. “But Hemingway wrote on the iceberg principle, meaning seven-eighths of what’s really driving the characters is not on the page.”

Guill’s 40-minute presentation will explore specific passages from the books, historical and cultural context surrounding the novels, and the universal topic of how women are treated.

“That’s a big issue in politics today,” Guill added.

Things are going to get weird at Trailhead.

First Thursday goers visiting Trailhead (200 S. Eighth St.) won’t soon forget the things they’ll see at its first-ever Maker’s Showcase.

Creators from JUMP, the Boise Public Library and Boise State University will display their inventions, which include molded plastic body armor for motorcycle safety, DNA Origami and a Sonic Sound Scarf.

“It’s my job to help all of these students with their passions,” said Amy Vecchione, head of Web and Emerging Technologies and an associate professor at Boise State. “Making mistakes leads to new innovations and inventions.”

Vecchione will show off her own invention, the Sonic Sound Scarf, which has speakers embedded in the fabric and plays music at the touch of an inlaid button.

One of her students will demonstrate how he uses a 3-D printer to create classroom graphs for blind students, while another Vecchione’s will exhibit his plosiphone—a xylophone-style instrument constructed of PVC piping and played with paddles. The inventor was inspired by the Blue Man Group.

“It was really hard to get it tuned properly,” Vecchione said. “It depends on the elevation and the temperature of the room. People will have a chance to play it and learn about the design process.”

The event runs 5-9 p.m. Snacks and beer are included.

BOISE ART GLASS AND FIREFUSION STUDIO—Watch FREE demos or take a class while enjoying il Segreto wood-fired pizza and Woodland Empire beer. 5-9 p.m. FREE. 1124 W. Front St. BOISE CREATIVE CENTER—Stop by the BCC for a scavenger hunt.

Have your (cup)cake and eat it, too.

If you’re clever enough, you won’t need to plan dinner on First Thursday. Hit up the right galleries and you can dine on a varied spread of hors d’oeuvres and the occasional glass of beer or wine. If the vagabond lifestyle isn’t your thing, however, consider these excellent meal deals instead: For appetizers, start at Capital Cellars (110 S. Fifth St.) for a new take on an old favorite. Pinney’s Potato Croquettes are stuffed with Idaho potatoes, prosciutto, Gouda cheese and thyme, then breaded and fried and served with green pea puree and pea shoots. The bite-sized delights cost $8, and diners can also enjoy 25 percent off a bottle of Idaho wine.

For mains, head to The Melting Pot (200 N. Sixth St.), where $22 nets you two glasses of house wine and a cheese fondue—take your pick from aged medium-sharp cheddar blended with Emmenthaler swiss, lager beer, garlic and seasonings; the Wisconsin Trio, featuring fontina, Butterkase and gorgonzola blended with white wine, scallions and sherry; or the fresh spinach artichoke, which mixes fontina and Butterkase with fresh spinach, artichoke hearts and garlic. End your evening at Lilly Jane’s Cupcakes (1020 W. Main St.), where you’ll get one free cupcake per guest and special pricing on the rest.

Choosing from the Plain Jane, Super Chocolate, Black and White, Caramel Apple, Red Velvet, Lemon and Caramel Macchiato flavors may be the most difficult decision you face all night.

BOISE PUBLIC LIBRARY SPRING BOOK SALE

CHRISTOPHER TITUS: BORN WITH A DEFECT

BALLET IDAHO: SLEEPING BEAUTY

It’s no wonder an exclamation point is on the Boise Library sign.

“We’ve committed to $500,000 to the new Bown Crossing branch library,” said Jo Anne Michaels, Friends of the Library board member and past president. “So this year’s spring book sale is as important as ever.”

At the spring sale, browse through more than 100,000 books, LPs, CDs, DVDs and rare posters and magazines. Proceeds from Friends of the Library fundraising have helped open the doors of three new neighborhood branch libraries, but all eyes are on the newest branch at Bown Crossing, set to open later this year.

Members-only preview sale Wednesday, 4-8 p.m.; Thursday and Friday, 9 a.m.-8 p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.; Sunday 10 a.m.- 5 p.m. Boise Public Library Warehouse, 762 River St., boisepubliclibrary.org/friends.

For comedian/filmmaker/husband/father Christopher Titus, reading about another mass shooting, another prescription drug on the market or another religious zealot trying to ban marriage are signs of “human de-evolution,” which makes him “want to go study with the Shaolin monks.” Fortunately, the only place he’s going is on the road with his new show, Born With a Defect (he plans to record his upcoming stop in Eugene, Ore., for a new DVD, and he’s still working on his full-length film, Special Unit: The Movie). The show is for 18 and older only, and opening for Titus is his comedian wife, Rachel Bradley.

On his website, Titus explains how seeing live comedy is the cure-all and the new show is “therapy if you’re a parent; birth control if you’re childless.”

8 p.m. $25-$45. Knitting Factory Concert House, 416 S. Ninth St., 208-367-1212, bo.knittingfactory.com.

The original Sleeping Beauty was a dark tale. Written in the early 17th century by Neapolitan folklorist Giambattista Basile as Sun, Moon and Talia, it’s a story of rape bordering on necrophilia, treachery, attempted murder and a cannibalistic plot.

Thank the Brothers Grimm and Walt Disney for the Sleeping Beauty we all know and love, and thank Ballet Idaho for bringing the iconic fairy tale to the Morrison Center on Friday, April 8-Saturday, April 9.

This decidedly family friendly version is set amid 18th century courtly dances, ornate costumes and set to the music of Pyotr Tchaikovsky. Choreographed by Peter Anastos, this Sleeping Beauty will be dreamy, rather than nightmarish. Just like we like it.

Friday, 8 p.m.; Saturday, 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.; $38-$58. Morrison Center, 2201 Cesar Chavez Lane, 208-426-1110, balletidaho.org.

ASTRONAUTS, ETC.; APRIL 8; NEUROLUX Friday’s forecast calls for sunshine and a high near 85 degrees, which might warrant a playlist of high-energy songs. This is Boise, though, which means the weather is as unpredictable as Donald Trump’s hair in a windstorm. If we’re looking at rain, more laid-back tunes would be apt. On Friday night, get wrapped in the chill (but danceable) melodic pop of Oakland, Calif.-based Astronauts, Etc. to bridge the extremes. Classically trained frontman Anthony Ferraro creates music that is light but deep, airy and solid at the same time, and works in the sweet spot between science and soul.

According to a 2015 interview with T Magazine, Ferraro got into the algorithm writing scene by falling in with hackers. “I learned how to program really quick, and wanted to use it as a composition aid for myself,’” he said. He did just that and, according to the article, his “Hypothetical Beats” was included at “the world’s first algorithm auction at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum.”

Friday’s forecast: awesomeness with a chance of brilliance.

NOISE NEWS STORIE GRUBB LEAVES THE HOLY WARS BEHIND, TRAVELS THE LENGTH OF TOMORROW ON HIS OWN Sean Kelly, a.k.a. Storie Grubb, thinks something is missing from mainstream music.

“There aren’t any protest songs,” he said, noting there’s as much conflict in the world now as, say, in the ’60s, when more musicians, poets and artists were speaking out against civil and global unrest through their art. “There should be more.

Artists have a responsibility,” he said.

It wouldn’t be accurate to call Kelly’s latest LP, The Length of Tomorrow (self-released, 2015) a protest album, but it is certainly his reflections on modern times and themes like war, death, love, life, religion and the relationships one has with fellow human beings on this beautiful planet.”

Kelly calls Tomorrow a “pseudo concept album,” and it certainly has lyrical threads tying tracks together as he explores childhood, coming of age and adulthood against the backdrop of bittersweet memories and a world gone to hell.

In “Milky Way,” Kelly sings “We got a Milky Way / Oh God, it’s almost paved / The human race has nearly won / Mother Earth has come of age / and BOISE WEEKLY.COM

made herself a shallow grave / while she drives us all into the sun.”

Kelly, who is an accomplished visual artist as well as a musician, wrote, arranged, performed, recorded and produced all except one track (a cover of Beck’s “Jack-Ass”) on Tomorrow and for each song, he created detailed illustrations. While the approach to music isn’t different from his previous work, the music itself certainly is.

For several years, Kelly performed with a full band as Storie Grubb and the Holy Wars, playing mostly uptempo indie rock and garnering a healthy local fanbase.

But in spring 2015, a yearning to go back to the guitar-based, lyric-centric music he loved when he first taught himself to play, had Kelly dismantling the Holy Wars, holing up and focusing on what would become Tomorrow.

“It’s the culmination of my thoughts and dreams,” Kelly said. “It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.”

—Amy Atkins Available online at Amazon, Bandcamp, iTunes and more, and at The Record Exchange.

WINESIPPER GRU-VEE GRUNER

2015 HUGL WEINE GRUNER VELTLINER, $15 Opens with a complex array of intriguing aromas that include floral peach, creamy melon and bright citrus, all backed by mineral, spice, clover, juniper, herb and spring greens.

At first sip, there’s a bit of tongue tickling spritz.

The flavors are a mix of candied lemon, lime and blood orange, balanced by crisp acidity on the long finish.

2014 OTT GRUNER VELTLINER, $20 The nose is a rich combo of lemon curd, sweet lime, melon, tart apple and mineral.

There’s an impressive intensity to the tart and tangy palate. It offers peach, apricot, melon and green apple flavors with a bit of lemon zest on the lively finish. A step up from the everyday, easy-drinking Gruners.

2014 PRATSCH GRUNER VELTLINER, $14 The light but lovely aromas include tangerine, peach and lime with touches of apple blossom, bacon fat and mineral. There’s a good balance between the ripe fruit flavors and food friendly acidity. You get sweet melon, lemon, lime and a hint of tangerine.

Like the Hugl, this comes in an oversized, one-liter bottle, making both great values.

It may be a phonetic throwback to the ’60s, but it’s only been in the past dozen years or so that this Austrian white with the unwieldy name was dubbed Gru-Vee. Gaining a cult following back then, especially on the East Coast, its popularity has since exploded to the point where it has become a mainstream pick for many. With expressive spring green flavors and touches of white pepper, it’s one of the few wines that pairs well with the fresh asparagus hitting the Treasure Valley now.

THE ATLAS BAR OPENS DOWNTOWN Plus deets on Stack Rock Hard Cider and The Sturiale Place TARA MORGAN Though you’ll find a couple vintage motorcycles parked inside, The Atlas Bar is not a biker bar.

“We’re going for a Pengilly’s [vibe] with a little more of a modern twist,” said owner Todd Asin. “I used to finish motorcycles for a living.

I have 18-foot ceilings, so I have a couple of motorcycles on the wall.”

Located at 108 S. 11th St., next door to Prestige Skateboards, The Atlas Bar features a handcrafted 10-seat bar with 14-foot columns and stained glass that lights up on top. Max capacity is around 30, with two high tops that come off the wall near the bar and three tables in the back. There are also plans in the works for a small patio.

“I got a liquor license. I’d been on the list for 16 years,” said Asin. “They give you such a short time frame that I was just searching for anything. … Once I found this spot, I came up with the idea for the place. After 16 years, it kind of just catches you out of the blue.

Nobody’s life is the same 16 years later.”

Asin is keeping the drink offerings minimal to match the intimate space: a standard menu of cocktails and six taps pouring mostly regional micros.

“It’s just going to be a classic bar. … We’re not doing any kind of infused cocktails; there’s no gimmick. I’ve been around Boise all my life, and I used to bartend a long time ago. I have buddies that own bars. The gimmicky stuff just doesn’t seem to work, so it’s just a bar. Pretty much, if you can name it, we should be able to make it.”

The Atlas Bar officially opened March 31 and is now slinging drinks seven days a week from 3 p.m. to 2 a.m.

“It’s just a quaint place; it’s the kind of place I’d want to go,” said Asin. “It’s small, dark—but it’s not scary dark—it’s clean, it’s eclectic.”

In other booze news, you’ll soon be able to snag a hard cider with your chard and radishes at the Boise Farmers Market. Peaceful Belly

A former Central Addition home, the Wood House (top and bottom left), will find new life as The Sturiale Place cafe/ museum at 15th and Jefferson streets. Meanwhile, The Atlast Bar (right) goes for “a Pengilly’s [vibe].”

co-owner Clay Erskine has branched out into fermented apple wine with his new business, Stack Rock Hard Cider.

“I got intrigued with heirloom apples and cider last year and made some small batches with some of the apples varieties that are commonly available around the Treasure Valley,” said Erskine.

Those batches, crafted with dessert fruit from Kelley Orchards in Weiser, were so well received that Erskine decided to up the volume.

“My friend Scott [DeSeelhorst] at Snake River Winery … offered his equipment for me to try to make a little bit more cider this year,” said Erskine. “We ended up making about 600 gallons, and we just did our first bottling.”

Stack Rock will feature three ciders to start, all named after trails in the Foothills: Dry Creek, a dry cider; Hard Guy, a habanero cider; and Hulls Gulch, a hopped cider.

“We don’t back-sweeten any of them,” said Erskine. “They’re all bottle-conditioned so they’re going to chill out in the bottles for about a month and then we’ll probably have them at farmers market available for sale, probably the end of May, first of June.”

Erskine is also growing his own apples for future batches. Last spring, he grafted 500 fruit trees, including English, French and East Coast cider apple varieties like Ashmead’s Kernel, Northern Spy and Kingston Black.

“We won’t get fruit off of those until probably year five, so it’s still a ways off,” said Erskine.

Stack Rock’s ciders clock in at 7.3 percent ABV and will be sold in 500 milliliter bottles for $8 a pop.

“The niche that I’m shooting for is more

of the wine-style versus the beer-style of cider making,” said Erskine.

In other news, a new Italian cafe, gift shop and museum is opening this summer at 1501 W. Jefferson St. The Sturiale Place will be housed in the former Wood House, an 1890s Queen Anne home that was relocated from Boise’s Central Addition to 15th and Jefferson streets in November. Owner Rita Sturiale is busy remodeling the space for a projected July 1 opening.

“I’m kind of a stickler for old fashioned things, and I want to keep it as original as I possibly can but since it’s a commercial property, I have so many codes and restrictions,” said Sturiale.

The small, 18-seat cafe will have a seasonal patio on the side and will serve “authentic, delicious, homemade Italian food like grandma used to make,” Sturiale said.

The menu will most likely include a few specialty handmade pastas and eggplant parmesan, along with Italian cookies like pizzelle and pignoli.

“It’ll greatly depend on the chef, which I’m working on right now,” said Sturiale. “So when I hire the chef in the next couple of weeks … we can solidify which direction we’re going.”

Sturiale said the spot will also house a small gift shop and a museum featuring items she has collected over the years. The museum won’t be open all the time. Rather, she said, it will be “a little, interesting side note.”

“We’ll have some Italian heritage information in there. It’s just going to be a little, personal, eclectic museum of sorts,” said Sturiale.

CITIZEN BRIAN PATTON Water, water...

GEORGE PRENTICE

If population trends hold and the Treasure Valley gains an average of 1.9 percent more residents per year, the Boise area could be home to 1.6 million people by 2065. At the same time, climate models from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration indicate a temperature increase in the Pacific Northwest of between 2 and 4 degrees Fahrenheit by 2050. Between 2021 and 2050 the region’s temperatures are projected to increase 2.5 degrees; between 2041 and 2070, the region’s temperatures are projected to increase by 4 degrees; and between 2070 and 2099, the region’s average temperatures are projected to increase another 6.5 degrees.

In a new study from Boise-based SPF Water Engineering, presented to the Idaho Water Resource Board, a combination of population growth and climate change will result in startling demand for water—a possible increase of as much as 357 percent across the Treasure Valley.

The projection incorporates an estimated 10 percent increase in a long-term “precipitation deficit” resulting from higher evaporation rates fueled by warmer temperatures. Even taking into account moderate levels of water conservation, indoor use of water by residential consumers is projected to increase by as much as 61,300 acre-feet per year across the Treasure Valley.

No one is shouting “crisis” yet, but the study inspired us to talk to Brian Patton, board chief of the Idaho Department of Water Resources.

Doesn’t this analysis have a much broader applicability?

It definitely helps inform other water management decisions in the Treasure Valley.

The executive summary of the report said, “new supplies can be achieved through a combination of measures,” such as improving water conservation and increasing groundwater pumping. Does that mean we could or should be pumping more groundwater than we’re currently pumping? In certain parts of the Treasure Valley, there is additional groundwater that could be pumped.

The bottom line of this report was jawdropping. What triggered this analysis?

Several years ago, the Idaho Legislature asked the water resource board to investigate potential water storage projects.

To be clear, the implication here is that metering all customers is a tool for water conservation.

Yes, moving away from a flat rate and toward metering all customers would have that effect.

Can you name one of those projects?

We’ve been partnering with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to look at the Boise River.

The Corps is interested in reducing our flood risk on the river, while we’re interested in finding ways to better manage our future water supply.

24 | APRIL 6–12, 2016 | BOISEweekly

Where?

Canyon County. The aquifer is generally stable in Canyon County and can probably be utilized to serve future water supplies. The closer you get back upstream toward Boise, the aquifer is under more stress and probably couldn’t withstand large additional uses.

The study also challenges more Treasure Valley communities to conserve water, indicating a number of towns or municipalities aren’t metering their water customers. Can you tell me which towns or cities are not metering?

All the big cities do. A number of small towns don’t meter. [A check of water providers across the Treasure Valley revealed residential customers of Capital Water Corp.—about 2,700 households near Capital High School— were not metered, nor were residential customers in Star or commercial customers in Kuna].

One final question of a more immediate nature: We’re hearing water resources for the Treasure Valley this summer are looking good.

I think we’ll have a good water year in southwest Idaho overall but, again, that’s just for the coming year.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): French artist Henri Matisse (18691954) is regarded as one of the greats, in the same league as Picasso and Kandinsky. Even in his 80s, he was still creating marvels that one critic said seemed “to come from the springtime of the world.” As unique as his work was, he was happy to acknowledge the fact that he thrived on the influence of other artists. And yet he also treasured the primal power of his innocence. He trusted his childlike wonder. “You study, you learn, but you guard the original naiveté,” he said. “It has to be within you, as desire for drink is within the drunkard or love is within the lover.” These are good, sweet thoughts for you to keep in mind right now, Aries.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus-born Kurt Goedel (19061978) was among history’s greatest logicians. His mastery of rational thought enabled him to exert a major influence on scientific thinking in the 20th century. Yet he also had an irrational fear of being poisoned, which made him avoid food unless his wife cooked it. One of the morals of his story is that reason and delusion may get all mixed up in the same location.

Sound analysis and crazy superstition can get so tangled they’re hard to unravel. The coming week will be an excellent time to meditate on how this phenomenon

might be at work in you. You now have an extraordinary power to figure out which is which, and then take steps to banish the crazy, superstitious, fearful stuff.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): For a time, pioneer physicist Albert Einstein served as a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, N.J. On one occasion, a student complained to him, “The questions on this year’s exam are the same as last year’s.” Einstein agreed that they were, then added, “but this year all the answers are different.” I’m seeing a similar situation in your life, Gemini. For you, too, the questions on this year’s final exam are virtually identical to last year’s final exam—yet every one of the answers has changed.

Enjoy the riddle.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your personal oracle for the coming weeks is a fable from 2,600 years ago. It was originally written by the Greek storyteller Aesop and later translated by Joseph Jacobs.

As the tale begins, a dog has discovered a hunk of raw meat lying on the ground. He’s clenching his treasure in his mouth as he scurries home to enjoy it in peace. On the way, he trots along a wooden plank that crosses a rapidly-flowing stream. Gazing down, he sees his reflection in the water below.

What? He imagines it’s another dog with another slab of meat. He

tries to snatch away this bonus treat, but in doing so, drops his own meat. It falls into the stream and is whisked away. The moral of the fable: “Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.”

your imagination to run wild and free. How exuberantly can you fantasize? Find out!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “I never get lost because I don’t know where I am going,” said the Japanese poet known as Ikkyu.

I stop short of endorsing this perspective for full-time, long-term use, but I think it suits you fine for right now. According to my astrological projections, you can gather the exact lessons you need simply by wandering around playfully, driven by cheerful curiosity about the sparkly sights—and not too concerned with what they mean.

P.S. Don’t worry if the map you’re consulting doesn’t seem to match the territory you’re exploring.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In his book Strange Medicine, Nathan Belofsky tells us about unusual healing practices of the past. In ancient Egypt, for example, the solution for a toothache was to have a dead mouse shoved down one’s throat.

If someone had cataracts, the physician might dribble hot broken glass into their eyes. I think these strategies qualify as being antidotes that were worse than the conditions they were supposed to treat. I caution you against getting sucked into “cures” like those in the coming days. The near future will be a favorable time for you to seek healing, but you must be very discerning as you evaluate the healing agents.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “If literally every action a human can perform was an Olympic sport,” Reddit.com asked its users, “which events would you win medals in?” A man named Hajimotto said his champion-level skill was daydreaming. “I can zone out and fantasize for hours at a time,” he testified. “This is helpful when I am waiting in line.” You Virgos are not typically Olympic-class daydreamers, but I encourage you to increase your skills in the coming weeks. It’ll be a favorable time for

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In his poem “The Snowmass Cycle,” Stephen Dunn declares that everyone “should experience the double fire, of what he wants and shouldn’t have.” I foresee a rich opportunity coming up for you to do just that, Scorpio. And yes, I do regard it as rich, even marvelous, despite the fact that it may initially evoke some intense poignance. Be glad for this crisp revelation about a strong longing whose fulfillment would be no damn good for you!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “When I look at my life I realize that the mistakes I have made, the things I really regret, were not errors of judgment but failures of feeling.” Writer Jeanette Winterson said that, and I’m passing it on to you at the exact moment you need to hear it. Right now, you are brave enough and strong enough to deal with the possibility that maybe you’re not doing all you can to cultivate maximum emotional intelligence. You are primed to take action and make big changes if you discover that you’re not feeling as much as you can about the important things in your life.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Psychotherapist Jennifer Welwood says that sadness is often at the root of anger. Feelings of loss and disappointment and heartache are the more primary emotions, and rage is a reflexive response to them. But sadness often makes us feel vulnerable, while rage gives us at least the illusion of being strong, and so most of us prefer the latter. But Welwood suggests that tuning in to the sadness almost always leads to a more expansive understanding of your predicament; and it often provides the opportunity for a more profound self-transformation. I invite you to apply these meditations to your own life, Capricorn. The time is right.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “The causes of human actions are usually immeasurably more complex and varied than our subsequent explanations of them.”

Fyodor Dostoyevsky said that in his novel The Idiot, and now I’m passing it on to you just in the nick of time. In the coming weeks, it’s especially important for you to not oversimplify your assessments of what motivates people— both those you respect and those you don’t fully trust. For your own sake, you can’t afford to naively assume either the best or the worst about anyone. If you hope to further your own agendas, your nuanced empathy must be turned up all the way.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Believing love is work is certainly better than believing it’s effortless, ceaseless bliss,” says author Eric LeMay. That’s advice I hope you’ll keep close at hand in the coming weeks, Pisces. The time will be right for you to exert tremendous effort in behalf of everything you love dearly—to sweat and struggle and strain as you create higher, deeper versions of your most essential relationships.

Please remember this, though: The hard labor you engage in should be fueled by your ingenuity and your creative imagination.

Play and experiment and enjoy yourself as you sweat and struggle and strain!

MINERVA’S BREAKDOWN

LOOT CRATE

$GYLFH IRU WKRVH RQ WKH YHUJH

DEAR MINERVA, My boo and I used to “play” in that we used to have threesomes. Then, cheating happened. Then monogamy happened.

I love “us” and I love this relationship. I’m dedicated to it for the long haul, but how can I bring up, “Remember how it used to be? Remember those hot three-ways? Want to try “that” again?”

—Three’s Company

DEAR THREE’S COMPANY, If you have been through this much already, why are you finding it so hard to approach this subject? Just bring it up casually. Maybe ask your “boo” what kind of fantasies they are having these days. Then it will open the discussion and you can share your fantasies. If concern comes up about cheating, this would be the perfect time to talk about what you have learned from the prior experiences. There are very few problems that cannot be overcome by discussing and setting down some ground rules. While not the norm, polyamorous or open relationships are increasing in popularity and they are working very well for some people. There is still an element of danger in this. You will be playing with fire with this kind of scenario but, as adults, you should be able to make some agreements, abide by them, have your fun and maintain your relationship. If you get major pushback from your boo, then you must also respect that. If this is a deal-breaker for you, then you aren’t really in it for the long haul. Best of Luck.
