NOTE ON A LIGHTER NOTE ... These last few weeks, we’ve been throwing mounds of pretty heavy text at you. Between rare-earth minerals potentially becoming Idaho’s next big cash crop to Idaho soldiers returning from war to remembering the 10 anniversary of 9/11, the main feature space has been serious stuff lately. It’s time to lighten up. First, this week’s cover from Veiko Valencia is the final cover from a local artist this year. Let me clarify what I mean by that. The year in cover art at Boise Weekly begins with the first edition following Best of Boise, which means it ends with the edition right before Best of Boise publishes. That means Valencia’s cover this week is the final piece included in this year’s Cover Art Auction. The auction is one of the coolest things we do at BW, just by virtue of the fact that it allows us to reinvest roughly $15,000 in the local arts community each year. And apparently plenty of readers feel the same way about it, with a number of you asking when and where this year’s auction is happening. Well get out your calendar: This year’s auction is Wednesday, Nov. 2, at the Linen Building. The auction starts promptly at 6 p.m. Because the event has become so popular, we’re pre-selling tickets this year to buyers who want to be sure to snag a seat. Pre-sale tickets for reserved seating are $5 and available through Brown Paper Tickets at brownpapertickets.com. Those who purchase pre-sale tickets get in the door at 5 p.m. Doors open for general admission at 5:30 p.m. For those who don’t prepurchase tickets, entry is a $3 donation, which we’ll add to the pot of money we’re doling out to local artists from the night’s proceeds. Also new this year, the 10th annual Cover Auction is in partnership with Trey McIntyre Project and in December, look to TMP’s 10+1 event, which will be in partnership with Boise Weekly. But the Cover Art Auction isn’t the only BW party coming up. Sunday, Oct. 2, join us at the Linen Building from 2-6 p.m. for our annual Best of Boise party. The fun is free and open to the public. Next week’s issue begins our twoweek run of Best of Boise. First up: Staff Picks, the always irreverent take on what’s best (and sometimes not so best) about Boise. And on Sept. 28, it’s the most popular edition of the year: Readers’ Choice awards. —Rachael Daigle

BILL COPE/OPINION

OLD DOG, OLD TRICK Ask Bill: Advice for the worried

Cope you pathetic loser U of I dummy, When I wrote you up a couple of months ago (BW, Opinion, “The Slackest State,” June 22, 2011) about my desatisfaction with what Republicans who are runners against Hussein Obama, you said that all the smart Republicans like that Chris Christie honker from New Gersey and Jeb Bush were not runners because they don’t want to inherent the economic mess from Hussein Obama that Hussein Obama inherented from George W. Bush. Being a overflowed septic tank of lies and socialistism as you are, I didn’t believe your answer for a second, and I wanted to write right back and tell you what a no-talent hack libtard you are, who doesn’t have the brain God gave a skunk turd. But I didn’t get around to it at the time because there were a couple of rodeos coming up so I had lassoing practice to catch up on, and then there was the God and Country shindig over in Nampa which I never miss because it’s easier than going to church, and there was another week or two eaten up because my Belinda left me and ran off to Oklahoma with another calf roper she met at the God and Country shindig, and then after that, I had to figure out what to do with the kids since it was the money she brought home from Quicki-Lube what put the food on the table since I use most of my money for ... But hey, that isn’t none of your goddamn business anyhow, so butt the hell out, you perv! Anyhow, it’s probably good that I didn’t get around to writing that followup letter since now I can write this one, which is about how pumped up I am that Rick Perry is come into the race to save the USA from Hussein Obama’s Mao Mao agenda. What do you think of that, you Streisand-sucking puke, that Perry is going to kick Barry Hussein back to Kenya! Texas style! And let me tell you something else, you whackedup old hippy freak. When Rick Perry is president, like he will be, us real Americans will be praying up a storm anytime President Perry runs headon into something he thinks is more God’s business than a president’s business. Like in that drought down in Texas? Rick Perry knows that a drought hasn’t got nothing to do with being governor, so he did what a good Christian man oughta do and laid it off on God to take care of. And it isn’t Rick Perry’s fault that God decided to let that drought run a while longer. So what I want to know is, Cope, how’s it feel to watch all your smoochysmoochy hopey change go running down your leg like your boyfriend spilled a pisswarm Coors on your lap? Way back on that night when all you misfits and elitist sissies was watching Hussein give his amazingest stupid victory speech there in Chicago, did you imagine that us white people would just sit and take it!? That goes to show what a misfit elitist sissy you are. Why don’t you go live somewhere where your kind lives? I bet you would think moving to San Fran Sicko was like going to heaven, wouldn’t you, you stinking Vandalhumping weirdo? Signed, Used To Be Dick From Melba But Me And The Kids Moved In With My Mom Since Belinda Left Me So Now I’m Dick From Homedale Dear UTBDFMBMATKMIWMMSBLMSNIDFH, Mind if I call you “Homedale Dick”? So in answer to your question, I want to tell you about our old dog, if you don’t mind. Think of it as a parable. I always find parables are a good way to make a point. Parables and allegories, similes and metaphors … I use them as often as possible. I find that certain sorts of people have trouble keeping up if I don’t dress my purpose up in easy-to-follow stories. Now then, the parable of the Tired Old Dog: Our dog is old—112 years old in human years. Her name is Molly, and I’ve used her in parables before. She came from the pound as a pup, and to this day, in terms of lasting enjoyment, Molly is the best gift I ever gave my daughter. But now she is old. She is nearly deaf, she doesn’t see well, her legs give out on her now and then, and we think she has some variety of doggy dementia. She sleeps most of the time, but when she’s awake, she paces back and forth, non-stop. Central to all her pacing is her food bowl. All she thinks about anymore is eating, and she’s always looking for something exciting to eat. We give her treats once a day, and she relishes remnants of pizza crust or the occasional bite of pork chop or bit of boiled potato. But we don’t, and shouldn’t, feed her that sort of thing all the time, should we? Gracious no, if she ate table scraps continually, as it appears she would prefer to do, she’d be as big as a doggy version of that New “Gersey” honker you spoke of. As it is, she’s remarkably trim and fit for being 112 years old. But in her doggy mind, Molly is past caring how trim and fit she is. Whenever she wakes from her multitudinous naps, she immediately checks her bowl to see if any surprises showed up while she slept. And then, until she goes down for another nap, she returns to her bowl every few seconds to check again. And again, and again. I believe she thinks that all she has to do is turn away from her bowl for a few steps, and it will be different when she steps back. It’s either dementia, or she is a believer in pooch magic. Whichever it is, since the day Rick Perry declared and became the right’s newest champion, all I can think of as I watch Molly return to her bowl over and over, expecting it to be different, is the Republican Party, hoping that if it turns once more to another blustering, boorish Texas buffoon, it will be better this time around. Write anytime, Homedale Dick. I love hearing from you. WWW. B OISEWEEKLY.C O M

Three years in, it’s obvious to all but the most willfully obtuse liberals and progressives that their 2008 votes for President Barack Obama have not paid off. The president blames obstructionist Republicans for his lack of action on, well, everything. His blame-the-GOP argument would be plausible if not for one thing: Before the Republicans swept the 2010 midterms, Obama had enormous political capital, a supportive media and Democratic control of both houses of Congress. Had Obama wanted, he could have governed to the left. Far to the left. The economy was in freefall. We lost 600,000 jobs the month he took ofﬁce. We would have gone along with anything he asked for, including a new WPA program and permanent jobless beneﬁts. Obama didn’t govern like a liberal because he didn’t want to. He didn’t want to because he’s not a liberal. Many progressives are angry. They want to send Obama and his fellow phony Democrats a message next November. But they don’t know how to counter the central argument of the two-party trap. There hasn’t been a liberal presidential nominee for 40 years. Mainly this is because liberal voters are willing to vote for right-wing Democrats. A lot of liberals are asking me how to counter the two-party trap argument. Here’s what I tell them: First and foremost, your vote cannot and will not put Rick Perry, Mitt Romney or Sarah Palin in the White House. Mathematically speaking, your vote is purely symbolic. Point two: Democratic Party strategists take liberal voters for granted. Democratic leaders obsess over “Reagan Democrats,”

“soccer moms,” “security moms” or whatever catchphrase equates to “swing voter” during a given year—people who might vote Republican one election, Democratic the next. As for liberals, progressives and leftists, Democrats ask: Where else are they going to go? Refusing to vote for Obama answers their question: If you don’t stop taking us for granted, we will take our votes elsewhere— whether to the Republicans, a third party, or limbo, boycotting the process altogether. Point three: Voting for immoral leaders makes you immoral. It’s one thing to be duped, it’s another to knowingly vote for a politician you know will promulgate policies you believe are wrong. Knowing what you know now, a vote for Obama in 2012 would be a vote for torture, extrajudicial assassinations, drone attacks, corporate health care, doing nothing about jobs and staying in Iraq. A liberal who votes for Obama would be directly responsible for the torture, killings and suicides of the desperately unemployed. The two-party trap is the sort of sick game that sadistic concentration camp guards like to play. “I’m going to shoot this old man or this little boy. You decide which. If you refuse to choose, I’ll shoot both.” There is only one way to deal with ideological terrorists: Don’t. Let evil scum do what they like. If the guard shoots both, it’s a terrible crime—but the blood is all on his hands. For a progressive, voting for Obama is like asking the guard to shoot one person rather than two. In the short run, it seems like the right decision. In the long run, the man and the boy die—and it’ll partly be your fault.

JER EM Y LANNINGHAM

DAVE SCHENKER AND SETH FEUERBORN A need for speed GEORGE PRENTICE On Thursday, Sept. 15, five members of Boise State’s Greenspeed club will travel to Utah’s famed Bonneville Salt Flats to try to break the land-speed record for a vehicle powered by vegetable oil. They’re confident they can break the record of 98 mph. They’re so confident, in fact, they have the existing 215 mph record for all petroleum-fueled trucks in their sights. It’s quite a task, considering that a year ago they didn’t have a vehicle. But the idea has been a decade-long dream for Boise State junior Dave Schenker, 34. When not in class, Schenker’s team, including senior Seth Feuerborn, 34, has been spending every precious moment with their most unlikely of race cars: a souped-up 1998 Chevrolet S-10 pickup. Boise State is known for its nontraditional students. That would certainly include you. Schenker: Definitely. I was homeschooled. I worked in construction for many, many years. I eventually had my own metal fabrication shop. I started messing around with trucks, diesel trucks specifically. I found out there was a lot more to an engine than I could possibly imagine. When I started looking at school, I thought mechanical engineering would be a good fit. Feuerborn: I grew up in Pocatello. When I graduated from high school, I did a year and a half at Idaho State University. Being young and naive, I thought I would spend the rest

8 | SEPTEMBER 14–20, 2011 | BOISEweekly

of my life behind a desk. I like cars, and at the time, I had to pay somebody a ridiculous amount of money to fix my car. So I went to a vocational school and became a mechanic. I worked as a mechanic for years, but some of the old timers kept telling me you’re too smart to be doing this. I went back to school through the Re-education Trade Act. I’ve been at Boise State since 2009. Can you explain how a diesel-fueled engine would use something like vegetable oil? Schenker: It’s not really a conversion. The vehicle actually has an extra tank. You have your diesel tank and you have your vegetable oil tank. You fire it up, get it to operating temperature, and it starts burning vegetable oil automatically. How much would it cost an average motorist to put an extra tank in their vehicle? Schenker: The complete kit is just over $2,000, but a lot of people do it themselves using things they find for about $600. How did your club, Greenspeed, begin? Schenker: The day I started school, I would talk about the idea in every class I took. It took me over a year and a half to find the right person as a co-officer for the club. It took another year to convince the school to let us be a club. It’s not like we’re the yo-yo club. We were constantly meeting with lawyers and risk management.

Because there was the possibility of danger? Feuerborn: Sure, because of the speeds involved in breaking the land record. Schenker: We are 99 percent sure that we will break the land-speed record for vegetable oil on Sept. 15. Our ultimate goal is to beat the petroleum-based land-speed record. When did you start working on the truck? Schenker: We got a donation of $2,000, plus each club member kicked in 100 bucks. We eventually found a truck on Craigslist for $2,500. We bought it in March. In May, we got a business in Garden City to donate a sixmonth lease for a garage. In late May, I started calling potential sponsors. By Aug. 16, we had an operational vehicle. When you’re racing on the Salt Flats, does the desert heat help you? Schenker: The hotter it is, the thinner the air, so it’s easier to go through. But you don’t get as much oxygen into your engine, so it’s a toss-up. Is the truck street legal? Feuerborn: No. One of the school’s stipulations from Boise State is that we are only allowed to drive the vehicle on the Salt Flats. Let’s say you break the record. What then? Feuerborn: Celebrate. Schenker: We’ll set the bar even higher next time.

YEAR OF IDAHO FOOD

GROWING LIVES Community gardens help refugees build new lives in their new homes WORDS AND PHOTOGRAPHS BY GUY HAND

Somali Bantu kids Bezunesh and Johannes Mina share a smile.

You may not see it in their faces, but the people in these photographs are the victims of some of the worst atrocities humans can inflict on one another: civil war, ethnic persecution, genocide. After escaping those threats, many then endured the danger and degradation of living in refugee camps. Eh Soe Min, an ethnic Karen from Burma, fled persecution and spent 11 years in a refugee camp in Thailand before being cleared to move to Boise. He said he was referred to in the camp as a “zero man,” because as a refugee he was perceived as having no value. Many of Boise’s younger refugees were born in similar camps. The Somali Bantu, Burmese, Burundian, Congolese and Ethiopian refugees on these pages share one more thing in common: They were once gardeners and farmers or came from communities with close ties to agriculture and the land. After resettling in the Treasure Valley, organizations like Global Gardens have helped them get back a positive reminder of their former lives: growing food. “Part of it is just to help them feel connected, giving them a chance to do something they already know how to do. It helps people feel at home, it promotes physical activity, it promotes better health, and most of the people in the pictures are earning supplemental income by selling at farmers markets,” said Katie Painter, refugee agriculture coordinator at the Idaho Office for Refugees. Global Gardens, which Painter administers, started out as two small garden plots in 2004 and has since expanded to include several community gardens, farms and farmers market booths around the area. Several refugees from the program have started their own independent farming businesses. Painter said these new Idahoans, despite much previous suffering, often exhibit the best qualities in human nature. “I’ve learned so much from them about human resilience—people who’ve been through a lot and still come out on top,” she said. “They adapt really quickly. I learn from them every day.” Eh Soe Min puts it another way: “In my mind, any place when I reach it, there is my home.” SLIDESHOW: Scan this QR code for more photos in this series.

Dominic Rowan plays an unyielding King Henry VIII at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre.

THURSDAY SEPT. 15 film SHAKESPEARE’S GLOBE LONDON CINEMA SERIES: HENRY VIII You don’t have to attend renaissance fairs to appreciate a good, old-fashioned Elizabethan drama, and you don’t have to be a history buff to appreciate the seedy awesomeness of Shakespeare’s The Famous History of the Life of King Henry the Eight. It’s a dramatic masterpiece that tells the story of King Henry VIII, his minister Cardinal Wolsley and Queen Katherine, the first of Henry’s six wives. Katherine gets the boot and Anne Boleyn, Henry’s midlife-crisis fling, takes her place. On Thursday, Sept. 15, Fathom Events will stream a 2010 performance of Henry VIII at the Globe Theatre in London at movie theaters nationwide. The screening will include behind-thescenes features like cast interviews and a segment about the Globe Theatre, which was reconstructed in 1997. A production of Henry VIII originally destroyed the theatre in 1613, when a special effects cannon misfired. Something that explosive has to be good. But the special effects aren’t the most captivating part of the play. The characters take that honor, with their incredible costumes and enough political wheeling and dealing to make your head spin. It’s perfect for theater-goers or a casual fan looking for an intro to Shakespeare. 6:30 p.m., $15. Edwards Boise Stadium 22 and IMAX, 7701 W. Overland Road, 208-3779603, fathomevents.com.

Orchestras must continue to evolve, even if the notes they play do not. It’s an impressive feat to keep an organism made up of so many individualized parts alive and well, and Boise Philharmonic has reason to be proud that, as it opens its 2011-2012 season, it also celebrates its 50th anniversary. In his three years with Boise Philharmonic, Musical Director Robert Franz has had a focus on the phil’s future. This upcoming season, which opens Friday, Sept. 16, is an opportunity for the philharmonic to show how far it has come and how well-situated it is to see at least another ﬁve decades. “It’s a funny thing, 50 years,” Franz said. “It’s a big deal because, ﬁrst of all, it means there’s a stability in the organization. But the thing that’s worrisome about stability is that you have to make sure you keep growing, otherwise you become stagnant. So for me, a 50th anniversary celebration is not only looking back at the past but it’s making sure we are using our stable base as a way to look forward to the future.” What that means for phil audiences in the 2011-2012 season is Strauss’ Don Quixote, The Messiah, The Nutcracker, a piece by acclaimed local composer Jim Cockey, performances with the Boise Master Chorale and more. There will also be some special family programs, including a screening of the Wizard of Oz with the orchestra playing the score live, and the premiere of Stella’s Musical Tour of America, a story and music that Franz wrote for his niece. Idahoborn astronaut Barbara Morgan will be on hand to narrate the tale of Stella who travels the world from her magic balloon. Franz said this 50-year celebration is the perfect time to reassess Boise Philharmonic’s current mission, as well as further it. “[We want] to take bigger risks, more risks and do more things. That’s exactly what we’re doing.” Friday, Sept. 16, 8 p.m., $23-$43. Northwest Nazarene University, Swayne Auditorium, 623 S.

tie-dye HYDE PARK STREET FAIR 2011 Boise’s North End is known for attracting hippies and nonconformists, but the Hyde Park Street Fair draws a diverse crowd. For more than 30 years, folks from every part of the Treasure Valley have come to Camel’s Back Park to experience that famous North End relaxed spirit. The moment you arrive at the park, you’ll be surrounded with the tempting aroma of fried foods. Stock up on grub, relax on the cool grass and chow down. Or wander the paths between the vendor booths, where hundreds of Northwest artists display and sell their creations. The street fair is a great place to find something unique: beautiful silver and hemp jewelry, countless crafts, bizarre bug key chains and some of the quirkiest hats and accessories. Take a hike to the top of Camel’s Back to look down on the street fair, and you’ll see a mass of color.

SATURDAY SEPT. 17 video games X-TREME GAMERS NIGHT When playing video games, you can participate in violent tactical missions, slay big game, play sports or take care of cute, cuddly animals. A new game from Starving Eyes Advergaming even allows you to get your political rage ﬂowing. Tea Party Zombies Must Die equips players with an arsenal of weapons, including a crowbar, a shotgun and, as you level up, a machete. You can use said weapons to wreak havoc on Tea Party zombies, including a Newt Gingrich zombie, the Sarah Palin zombie and an “express racist views anonymously on the Internet modern Klan zombie.” The landscape of the game is bleak, littered with Fox News logos and decaying Tea Party propaganda. Though Tea Party Zombies Must Die is an amusing option for left-leaning adult gamers, Fort Boise Community Center will offer more kid-appropriate games for your little ones to play during X-Treme Gamers Night. Kids and parents are invited for a night of gaming on Saturday, Sept. 17, featuring open play and tournament gaming. They will have 12-foot screens, food, drinks and prizes. And if you can’t make it this Saturday, Fort Boise will also have gaming nights the third Saturday of every month through January. 7-10 p.m, $2. Fort Boise Community Center, 700 Robbins Road, 208-384-4486.

boulder-hurling abilities, Scots are among the few who manage to make a plaid skirt look macho. If you want to join your manly Scottish brethren and kick it in a breezy kilt this weekend, there’s no better place than the Treasure Valley Celtic Festival and Highland Games at Expo Idaho. On Saturday, Sept. 17, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., the Scottish American Society of the Treasure Valley will host an array of athletic competitions, including the famed caber toss, where athletes hurl a long tapered tree through the air. The festival

Pigs are oft credited for being cleanly creatures. They take off their shoes at dinner parties, floss obsessively and even pull their sleeves over their hooves when reaching for public bathroom doors. Yeah, that’s total hogwash. When left to their own devices, pigs roll in excrement and stuff their snouts with anything you put in their troughs, etsy.com/shop/elmsoapmakers including pork. Pigs are considered to be so dirty that they’ve long been shunned by both Islam and Judaism. Which is why bacon soap makes complete sense. Who wouldn’t want to wake up, jump in a hot shower, and start lathering themselves with smoky, pig-fat scented soap? By the time you’ve finished bathing, you’ll smell like the grease-caked flattop at an all-night diner. Well, lucky for all you baconphiles, ELM Soap Makers in Eagle is now selling bacon soap at the Meridian Farmer’s Market and online at its Etsy store, etsy.com/shop/elmsoapmakers. Or if you prefer to keep your bacon in the fry pan, ELM also offers equally agrarian but substantially less porky soaps made with moisturizing goat milk. Scents include lavender, cinnamon, coffee and rose. —Tara Morgan

NOISE/CD REVIEW JONATHAN WARREN AND THE BILLY GOATS: A LITTLE SOMETHING STRONGER THAN WINE On their new release, A Little Something Stronger Than Wine, Boise’s Jonathan Warren and the Billy Goats have straightforward interests: women, the West and whiskey. Frontman Warren seems to have a particular closeness to the brown liquid, singing, “She’ll make a man lose his mind / but she’ll help him / make it through the night.” While the whiskey panacea might make things easier at first, the rockabilly quintet acknowledges that drink doesn’t solve everything: “It didn’t take a lot to learn her name / but it’ll take a long time for him to forget.” While their tastes may seem transparent, their style of barroom bluegrass on this album won’t leave a guy crying in his glass. JWBG are the type to drag in a straight-laced suit off the sidewalk, sling one back with him and then get him stomping to the beat on dusty floorboards. “I never was much a gamblin’ man / But I gambled with your love,” Warren croons in “Sara Jean,” a story of love lost. “I thought it best to let you run for a while / But now I can’t see you smile.” “Boise, Idaho” and “California Green” round out the album, with the former providing a party track and the latter adding an acoustic ditty that will stick to your cerebrum. JWBG’s upbeat sonorous chords, blended with Warrens’ tremulous vocals and a syrupy mix of cited influences like Keller Williams and Mason Jennings make for tracks reminiscent of the Foggy Mountain Boys but with more eclectic instrumentation. And less jug blowin’. JWBG shows progression since their self-titled album, with Something Stronger showing that they’ve sanded out the rough bits of their sound—fortunately, they haven’t shaved off all the rawness that makes their music so much damn fun. It’s precisely that level of grittiness, that lack of glitz, that makes a band like JWBG a different breed than their CMT counterparts. —Andrew Crisp

NOISE/CD REVIEW JOHN MAUS: WE MUST BECOME THE PITILESS CENSORS OF OURSELVES It is perhaps fitting that a doctoral student of political science would name a record We Must Become the Pitiless Censors of Ourselves. This maxim alludes to a form of politics structured around ensuring that we, the citizenry, discipline ourselves into maintaining a proper social order. For instance, casual mention of killing cops is generally frowned upon in the public sphere. But go figure: When the phrase “kill all the cops in sight” is sung in a soft baritone over an array of choral synthesizers and smooth beats, it’s easy to react with impunity. The song “Cop Killer” isn’t John Maus’ only foray into questionable social parameters; his ego-exposing live shows are wrought with erratic flailing, red-faced chest pounding and violent air punching. On “Matter of Fact,” he insists over and over again that “pussy is not a matter of fact.” He does this on top of music that would be fitting for a 1980s underground horror flick. These dark anthems are classic Maus and fit nicely into the scheme of his record. However, it is the songs where he takes himself seriously that truly make this a worthy album. On “Hey Moon,” Maus duets with Molly Nilsson, their voices drenched in nocturnal reverb atop delicate synth lines and minimalist beats. On “Believer,” Maus invokes former bandmate Ariel Pink with echo-laden vocals that drift in and out of a thumping sheen of glossy low-fi effects. “Quantum Leap” sees Maus laying down a rigid bass line beneath frantic synths and dance-inducing drum beats. To the uninitiated listener, Maus’ ’80s throwback vibe, layered synths, simplistic beats and amoral lyrics might seem a tad crude. But in the world of Maus, anything goes. —Stephen Foster WWW.

OUT OF COUNTRY The Zac Brown Band is rocking the country music scene AMY ATKINS In country, like in rock, there are subgenres—alt-country, honky-tonk, cowpunk, Western, new, classic—but a country song has an almost immediately identifiable flavor that it gets from the twang of the guitar and message in the song. Stories about cheating and retribution are common in country music but so, too, are family get-togethers, pickup trucks and patriotism.

BUSH, KFCH, SEPT. 14 1995 was an epic year for alt rock. Third wave ska-sters No Doubt, fronted by the midriff-baring blonde Gwen Stefani, released its smash hit album Tragic Kingdom, and the ﬁsh-eye lens video for “Spiderwebs” skanked across MTV in regular rotation. At the same time British grunge act Bush, fronted by the dreamy Gavin Rossdale, topped the charts with tracks like “Glycerine” and “Comedown” from its debut album, Sixteen Stone. Inevitably, the queen and king of 1995 alt radio shacked up, becoming one of rock’s hottest duos. Now, 16 years since Sixteen Stone’s release, the couple is still together and Bush has ofﬁcially reunited. Though the band has a new guitarist and bassist, they’ll no doubt bring the ’90s back with classics like “Machinehead” and “Everything Zen,” along with tracks from the just released The Sea of Memories. —Tara Morgan With Dead Sara. 7 p.m. doors, 8 p.m. show, $25-$65.

THE VIBRATORS, THE SHREDDER, SEPT. 18 Most British punk rock legends have long fizzled from the scene, immortalized only on patches stitched to ripped jean jackets. Not The Vibrators. The group has been touring and cranking out albums intermittently since its formation in 1976. In fact, The Vibrators played more than 130 gigs in 2010 alone. Known for straight-up punk gems like “Judy Says (Knock You In The Head)” or the ballad-y charm of “Baby Baby,” The Vibrators’ first album, Pure Mania, spent five weeks in the U.K. Top 75, peaking at number 49. The band also did an early tour opening for Iggy Pop, featuring David Bowie on keys. On Sunday, Sept. 18, the band will add another stud to its belt when it motors into Boise for a show at the recently revamped The Shredder. —Tara Morgan With Sandusky Furs. 8 p.m., $8.

TRYING TO WIN James Lloyd should put that grin on a T-shirt.

AWARDS ALL AROUND At a press conference at the Idaho Shakespeare Festival amphitheater on Sept. 7 Boise Mayor Dave Bieter announced the four recipients of $15,000 economic development grants in the ar ts: Idaho Shakespeare Festival, Ballet Idaho, Boise Philharmonic and Trey McIntyre Project. “It is a competitive process and, unfortunately, there are always more applicants than there are funds to give out, but we’re very pleased to announce them [the recipients],” Bieter said. Bieter said the recipients were chosen after a rigorous review of their economic impact to the region, both in the number of people they employ and the employers they help attract. “What we did was do a call for bids for arts organizations with an economic development emphasis,” he said. “Show us what kind of economic activity in terms of the people you hire and the funds you raise and spend in our community and we’ll judge you on that impact.” Other community arts organizations actually get a boost from these grants as well, because it takes the four recipients out of the running for the $45,000 in regularly budgeted grants that will be announced sometime in the next several weeks. Terri Schorzman, Boise Department of Arts and History director, said there were more than 40 applications for those grants, double the number from previous years, a sign of the program’s success. The grants will not only help the arts organizations that receive them provide an economic boost in the community but will assist them in becoming more visible both locally and outside of the Treasure Valley. Another artist whose work will be more visible, albeit on a smaller scale, is James Lloyd. For weeks, we had been anticipating the results of a T-shirt design contest by Radio Boise, in which the locally run station asked artists to submit “iconic and adventurous” designs that incorporated “localism, independence and Radio Boise’s focus on community service and musical diversity.” Our spate of sleepless nights and all the tossing and turning as we waited for a winner ﬁnally came to an end when James Lloyd was announced the winner. T-shirts with Lloyd’s new design will be available at radioboise.org and will also be for sale during the Hyde Park Street Fair, which runs Sept. 16-18. —Amy Atkins and Josh Gross

Comic Paula Poundstone on parenting and Wait, Wait ... Don’t Tell Me! AMY ATKINS She voiced a cartoon character who was a single mother raising an 8-year-old son who was obsessed with making home movies. She starred in her own episode of a Bravo channel series featuring female comedians—Caroline Rhea and Joan Rivers each had an episode as well. She was the first woman to win a CableACE Award for Best Stand-up Comedy Special. She made an appearance on Larry King Live to discuss charges of child endangerment against her and the resulting stint in rehab for alcohol abuse.

THE TEMPEST

THOR

Director Julie Taymor (Across the Universe, Frida) takes on Shakespeare’s ﬁnal and perhaps most fantastical play. In this interpretation, Taymor switches up the gender of the lead character Prospero by casting Oscarwinner Helen Mirren in the role. Prospero has been cast out of the kingdom to a desolate island with her daughter, Miranda (Felicity Jones). Prospero uses sorcery to strand her betraying kinsman on the island so that she might return her daughter to her rightful place on the throne. The ﬁlm’s stars include Chris Cooper as Antonio and Djimon Hounsou as Caliban. Alfred Molina and Russell Brand also star as the wellmeaning drunks Stephano and Trinculo.

A chance to stare at shirtless Thor star Chris Hemsworth is reason enough for some to pick up this one, now out on DVD. This movie tells the stor y of Thor, a power ful but arrogant prince of Asgard, one of the Nine Worlds in Norse mythology. Thor is banished to Earth for betraying his father’s commands, and as he is literally falling straight from heaven, he collides with researcher Jane Foster (Natalie Portman). Thor’s evil little brother allows enemies into Asgard and tries to secure his place on the throne by sending a big bad guy to dispatch Thor. Kenneth Branagh directed this ﬁlm that has a broader appeal than might be expected. —Kat Thornton

SCREEN/INTERNET HENRY’S KITCHEN TV chefs tend to further the illusion that cooking is easy. Ingredients come pre-portioned in color-coordinated bowls, which are dumped in succession into a fragrant pan—no onion eyes or garlic-stained fingers in sight. Henry Philips is not that kind of chef. On his YouTube cooking show, Henry’s Kitchen, the clean-cut average dude awkwardly bumbles through bachelor-type recipes, all while giving camera-shy, cringe-worthy commentary. On the first episode, Henry shows folks how to make his Killer Oven-Baked French Toast, kicking things off with a few words of wisdom: “French toast was originally originated by the French.” Henry gets bits of shell in the eggs, mangles his cheap loaf of bread with a dull knife, substitutes maple-flavored syrup for vanilla extract and forgets to turn on the oven. And this is one of his most successful episodes. When Henry attempts his Anytime Chili for One in episode two, things go even worse:

26 | SEPTEMBER 14–20, 2011 | BOISEweekly

Henry should stay out of the kitchen.

“The recipe that I’m using makes it for six to eight people, but I’m only making chili for one, so I’m going to be dividing every one of the ingredients by seven,” Henry mumbles. Backed by sad piano music and public access-style choppy editing with ﬂowery ’90s graphics, Henry’s Kitchen is so awful, you heave a sigh of relief when it becomes apparent that he’s in on the joke. —Tara Morgan WWW.

YEAR OF IDAHO FOOD GU Y HAND

EMPLOYED BY MOTHER EARTH

The Saladman cometh.

Coeur d’Alene tribe gets back to its food roots

THE SALADMAN FINDS A PERMANENT HOME; GARDEN CITY GETS A NEW BREWERY

GUY HAND Stepping into the Family Foods supermarket in Plummer, 34 miles south of Coeur d’Alene, is not unlike stepping into a supermarket anywhere in rural America. A case full of day-glow donuts and thickly frosted cakes grab the eye the instant a shopper walks through its door. The deli counter is stacked in crisp brown mountains of deep-fried everything—and apart from a long wall of pricey produce and a rather impressive meat counter—space is given over to a typical assortment of packaged and processed fare. There is nothing exceptional about that supermarket—apart from the fact that it sits on the Coeur d’Alene Indian Reservation, home to a community grappling with the obesity, diabetes and other food-related illnesses that studies have linked to the kind of unexceptional food lining American grocery store shelves. A group of local food activists say Plummer’s only grocery store isn’t the root problem, nor is it the convenience stores and fast-food outlets that dot Plummer’s main drag. It’s the lack of healthy, affordable food options available to a town of 900 people. That group, the One Sky/One Earth Food Coalition, wants to change things. “We’re rampant with diabetes,” said LoVina Louie as she and three other coalition members picked huckleberries in the mountains east of town on a cloudless August morning. A 2008 federal study found that Native Americans between the ages of 15 and 19 experienced a 70 percent increase in diabetes between 1994 and 2004. “It’s just so much easier to buy fried foods,” Louie added. “That kind of food is what’s killing us.” The link between diet and disease is hardly unique to Native Americans, but the problem is often ampliﬁed by factors unique to reservations. Many are located in “food deserts,” deﬁned by the USDA as areas “with low access to a supermarket or large grocery store.” Reservations are also often located on unproductive land or arable land leased to non-natives involved in large-scale, commodity agriculture. One study found that 70 percent of America’s tribal croplands are leased to non-Native Americans—much of the Coeur d’Alene Tribe’s land is leased to commodity wheat producers who sell their product to distant markets. In addition, many tribes have limited access to land suitable for practicing traditional, ancient food ways. The net result is that Native Americans tend to WWW. B OISEWEEKLY.C O M

produce little of their own food and have limited control over the kinds of foods imported into their communities. “So we started this little food coalition,” said Laura Laumatia, the University of Idaho Extension educator for the Coeur d’Alene Reservation and one of the four women picking huckleberries. As she dropped berries into a bucket, Laumatia said “a mix of tribal and non-tribal folks” formed the coalition on the reservation a year and a half ago to take control over their community’s food choices. “We decided to keep it pretty informal and started planning events where people would feel comfortable,” Laumatia said of the coalition’s fledgling efforts. “Everybody always likes to have a meal together and that definitely ties into traditional Coeur d’Alene culture,” Laumatia said, so in 2010, the coalition began hosting bi-monthly dinners. At the dinners, the group showed provocative food films like Fresh and Food, Inc. and then discussed them. “That was how we got started,” Laumatia said. “But then we realized you have to look at the whole system.” After acquiring some donation and grant money, the One Sky/One Earth Food Coalition—which by then included the tribe’s Department of Natural Resources, its Cultural Department and other key community organizations—grew more ambitious. The coalition began offering instructions to home gardeners and, in April, built one of three small community gardens. It even talked the tribe’s Wellness Center staff into replacing many of its highly processed, sugary snacks with healthier hummus, Greek yogurt and whole wheat products. Picking huckleberries was another way coalition members were trying to improve the reservation’s food future: by supporting the tribe’s ongoing efforts to

preserve and reinvigorate its hunting and gathering traditions. “We’re hoping we might be able to use some of these huckleberries for our Water Potato Day event,” explained Gina Baughn, the tribe’s natural resources education specialist. Water potatoes are an aquatic tuber that the Coeur d’Alene Tribe once foraged along the banks of lake Coeur d’Alene. Every fall, the tribe puts on Water Potato Day as a educational opportunity and celebration. “We hope to have a teepee set up and some traditional foods [like huckleberries],” Baughn said. “Then we’ll have some elders talking about the importance of water potatoes and traditional foods.” The tribe has been inviting surrounding schools and the general public to the event for about a decade, now. This year’s water potato events will be held Oct. 26-28. Louie, who, a couple of hours into the huckleberry picking session had picked more berries than anyone else, mentioned helping with another tribal-food program back in June. At a “culture camp week,” tribal children were taught how to erect teepees; skin, quarter and dry deer meat; catch ﬁsh and dig camas—another iconic staple for many Idaho Indian tribes. As positive as the event was, it also gave Louie pause. “All the kids we took digging camas, they had never dug camas,” she sighed. “They didn’t even know what to look for. And, you know, some of the boys had never been out hunting,” Louie said, before she stopped and stared into a deep blue sky. “And that’s who we are.” For Louie, the tribe losing its food traditions is tantamount to losing its identity—and potentially more 28 culturally damaging than a disease like

For the past 12 years, Chris the Saladman has been one of the few purveyors of green things at deep-fried fairs and festivals across the valley. But now, as other area cooks opt to go mobile, Chris Olson has decided to set up shop in a spot sans wheels. Olson plans to open Chris’ on Broadway Featuring Saladman by the ﬁrst of October in the building that formerly housed Jeffrey’s Next Door. In addition to his salads and wraps, Olson will also offer 12-15 different burgers, hand-cut fries, smoked ribs and chicken. “We’ll do breakfast Saturday and Sunday mornings, and we’ll have Friday-Saturday night steak and scampi or steak and ahi dinners,” said Olson. Chris’ on Broadway will be smoke- and alcohol-free, but Olson said patrons are more than welcome to take their grub to go and saddle up next door at Broadway Bar for a cheap cocktail and a smoke. And in brews news, Brewforia took a quick breather after the Barley Bros. festival before launching into its latest sudsy undertaking, Oktoberfest. For $30, you’ll get a bottomless beer stein and the chance to watch besotted lads in lederhosen rock the accordion. Not to mention, there will be plenty of schnitzel, beer games and a $250 grand prize Best Beard Contest. Ocktoberfest runs from 1-11 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 17, at the Century Link Arena. For more information, visit oktoberfestid.com. And in other exciting craft-brew news, Garden City will soon be home to another microbrewery, Crooked Fence Brewing. The spot is getting situated at 5242 Chinden Blvd., east of Glenwood Street. Frequent BW illustrator and cover artist Kelly Knopp is designing the labels and marketing for the brewery, including the oh-so-delicioussounding Three Picket Porter, which is aged in Jack Daniels whiskey barrels.

diabetes. Across the country, other Native American tribes have recognized the cultural importance of food and are trying to take more control of their diets in what a recent report called a “tribal food sovereignty movement.” In Arizona, Hopi and Tohono O’odham groups are working to strengthen school garden programs and local agricultural projects on tribal lands. In New Mexico, the Taos Pueblo is trying to revitalize agricultural traditions and become more food independent. The multistate Navajo have similar programs, as do the Oneida Tribe of Wisconsin and the Anishinaabe of Minnesota. Still, Louie thinks there’s a long way to go, at least in Plummer. “We don’t even have a farmers’ market, you know? Like there’s a few of us that are tying to have gardens, but I don’t even know much about gardening.” In some ways, she said, the situation has gotten worse—they now have Zips, a fast-food chain. Immersing herself in huckleberry bushes seemed to brighten Louie’s mood. Before heading out to pick, she mentioned having recited a traditional tribal prayer of thanks to the huckleberries. “We’re supposed to pray, and we’re supposed to give thanks because these berries are giving up their lives for us. Even when our men go out hunting, you pray and you ask that [animal] if it could give its life to feed our people. It’s a connection we have.” Dropping a few more berries into her bucket, she seemed to sum up the tribe’s dilemma in a couple of sentences. “You walk into the supermarket and you buy hamburger, you don’t have a connection to that cow,” Louie said. “You go buy a bag of chips, you don’t have a connection to that potato.” 27

Nothing beats pot beans at Woody’s.

WOODY’S It was Ed’s Abbey. It was Brews Brothers. After a marauder makeover, it became The Plank. Now the newest incarnation at 650 S. Vista Ave. is Woody’s. No matter what its name, the establishment has always been a laid-back neighborhood pub that seldom lacks patrons. Busy though it may be, Woody’s is visually quiet inside. Pale pine tables, chairs and barstools are all but unnoticeable, and beer signs and pennants on the wall don’t beg for much attention. Sports fans can wander in and find a game on one of the big-screen TVs and the horseshoe pit and covered patio out back are welcoming diversions. Woody’s is, like its predecessors, a beer-and-wine-only establishment, but owner Lyle Titus said even the 20 beers on tap weren’t enough to sustain the establishment, so he decided to shake up the former standard pub fare. Sandwiches, burgers, hot wings and baskets of fried finger foods are available, but now you can also order a mahi mahi or sockeye fish taco, an Italian sausage, or choose from a large selection of Baja WOODY’S barbecue dishes like home650 S. Vista Ave. 208-336-1790 made chili verde or barbecued sweet-chili-rubbed ribs. All of the pork, beef and chicken ser ved at Woody’s is cooked over mesquite wood and handpulled on-site. The beef chuck in the firelog-sized Baja carne asada burrito ($6.99) had a deep, smoky flavor but tasted like it sat over the mesquite a bit too long. It was crunchy, which was an unexpected texture to encounter in a burrito, and was a little off-putting. A sauce station in the corner held bottles of Tapatio, Tabasco, barbecue and fry sauces to accentuate dishes for individual tastes, but I was content with the spicy red chili sauce and a green tomatillo that came with the burrito. The tangy green sauce gave the dish a piquant kick but it wasn’t quite enough to override the overcooked meat. The side of pot beans, however, also had that rich smoked flavor and were cooked to exactly the right consistency. Next time, I’ll ask the server to chuck the chuck and fill that big soft warm tortilla with those beans, cheese, lettuce and the green sauce. Woody’s is tr ying to set itself apart further by turning its focus to the ’cue. A newly hung vertical banner that reads “BBQ” runs the length of the pole under the big Woody’s sign outside and all the meat is smoked in a grill on the front patio. It may ver y well work—somebody just needs to make sure to turn over the meat. —Amy Atkins

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): “An awakened Aries would rather err on the side of making a daring, improvisational mistake than cuddle up with passionless peace,” writes astrologer Hunter Reynolds. “He or she knows that creative conflict can be a greater unifying force than superficial harmony.” This is an excellent keynote for you to keep in mind during the coming days. But make sure your motivations are pure and humble, please. If the daring improvisation you launch is fueled by arrogance or the urge to dominate, your efforts to shake things up for the greater good will fail. Fight against what Reynolds calls “terrified niceness”—but do it with fierce compassion not sneering rage. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Back in 2009, John Allwood, an Australian melon-picker, used his head to smash 47 watermelons in 60 seconds. That broke the previous world record of 40, also set by him a couple of years earlier. I’ve chosen him to be your role model for the coming week, Taurus—for two reasons. First, you’re primed to outstrip a personal best you achieved some time back. Second, it’s a perfect time to use your head in fun and creative ways. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): According to April Winchell’s book Regretsy: Where DIY Meets WTF, here are some of the treasures you can find for sale at etsy.com: a toy pig made from a root beer can; a “juicy enchanted pouch” for holding runes; a handmade hornet’s nest; a stuffed feral goat fashioned to resemble a unicorn; fake tapeworms that are actually spray-painted fettuccine; and a “haunted Ouija board Las Vegas casino-style blackjack roulette poker chip.” I would absolutely love it if you designed something like this and hawked it on Etsy, Gemini. Your skill as an idiosyncratic creator will soon be peaking, as will your capacity for marketing the most unique aspects of your shtick and style. CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Specialization is for insects,” said science fiction writer Robert Heinlein. “A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, pitch manure, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently.” I bring this thought to your attention, Cancerian, because it’s an excellent time for you to broaden your understanding and expand your repertoire. How many of the things that Heinlein names can you do? Make a list of your talents and try to add some new ones to that list in the coming weeks.

34 | SEPTEMBER 14–20, 2011 | BOISEweekly

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A veterinarian in Nashville, Tenn., was asked to do something he had never done: diagnose and treat a wounded whooping crane. Experts devoted to safeguarding the endangered species advised him to wear a billowy white suit. That way the wild bird would be more likely to accept his attention. “You learn very quickly how to communicate dressed as a marshmallow,” the vet said after completing his work. Be prepared for a metaphorically similar encounter, Leo. You, too, may face a prospect that resembles interspecies conversation. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Everything is unique,” said the 19th century authors known as the Goncourt brothers, who wrote all their books together. “Nothing happens more than once in a lifetime. The physical pleasure that a certain woman gave you at a certain moment, the exquisite dish that you ate on a certain day— you will never meet either again. Nothing is repeated and everything is unparalleled.” Of course, this is always true. But I suspect you will be more intensely aware of it in the coming days than you have in a long time. In part that’s because the sensations and experiences headed your way will be so unique, so exquisitely fresh. And, in part, it’s because you’ll be wide-awake to the novel pleasures that are possible when you appreciate the fact that everything changes all the time. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Sentiment without action is the ruin of the soul,” said environmentalist Edward Abbey. The “ruin” doesn’t happen because of a single small failure to translate sincere intentions into good works. Rather, it’s the result of long-running laziness or passivity—a consistent inability to do what one’s passions demand. If there is even a shred of this tendency in your make-up, Libra, now is an urgent time to shed it. According to my astrological analysis, you simply must carry out your soul’s mandates. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I would never advocate burning copies of the book Faking It: How to Seem Like a Better Person Without Actually Improving Yourself. I’m a staunch defender of freedom of speech, even if the speech offends my moral sense. On the other hand, my freedom of speech allows me to advise you to strenuously avoid that book or any influence that resembles it. In my opinion, you need to become a better person in the coming weeks, not just pretend you are. Here’s a good place to start: Don’t just pay lip service to the idea of supporting others’ freedom of speech. Help them claim and express that freedom, even if it makes you uncomfortable.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Every one of us is born with up to 150 new mutations that make us different from both of our parents. Most of those genetic alterations are neutral in their effects. Some are negative and a few may be beneficial. I bring this to your attention, Sagittarius, because you’re entering a phase when it’s possible to take more advantage of your positive mutations than you ever have before. Can you guess what they are? Try to, because you’re primed to tap in to their fuller potential. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Dictionary.com says there are 19 words in the English language with no perfect rhymes. Among them are six words that are useful in constructing this week’s horoscope for you: cusp, glimpsed, depth, rhythm, gulf and opus. I like the fact that none of them rhyme because it’s symbolic of the task you have ahead of you. You’re on the cusp of a shift in your rhythm that will take you out of your depth, compelling you to close the gulf between you and a resource that will be crucial for you to have access to in the future. You’ve glimpsed what needs to be done—the creation of a new opus—but in order to accomplish it, you will need to be motivated by a frustration that feels like having to rhyme unrhymeable words. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The Jerusalem Syndrome is a temporary psychological phenomenon that, on rare occasions, overtakes travelers who visit Jerusalem. Under the influence of ancient holy sites, these people may become obsessed with religious themes or experience delusions that they are characters from stories in the Bible or Koran. I don’t expect you to fall under the sway of such an outbreak, Aquarius, but I do suspect that you will soon have some intense spiritual stirrings. To ensure that they will enlighten you, not dishevel you, stay well-grounded. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): My Pisces friend Rana Satori Stewart coined some new words that happen to be perfect for you to begin using and embodying. “Blissipline,” she says, is “the commitment to experiencing a little or a lot of bliss every day; the practice of expanding one’s capacity for bliss and being open to receive it in any moment.” A “blissiplinarian” is “someone who enforces pleasure and invites opportunities for more pleasure,” while a “blissciple” is a person who aspires to master the art of blissipline. I encourage you to be a blissciple, Pisces, because it will put you in sync with the effervescent invitations the cosmos have scheduled for you.
