NOTE GUIDE TO THE APOCALYPSE I have a recurring nightmare. Chaos prevails, there’s a war raging, an invasion of some kind has happened, and I’m hiding out in a closet within a closet in my family’s cabin in Garden Valley. From that vantage point, I can see the enemy approaching from a distance through a peep hole I’ve created, but I know they cannot see me. As for the closet within a closet, the door from one into the other is hidden from view by a dresser so should the house be raided, no one would suspect a secret hiding spot behind a dresser in a closet.

The thing is, the closet within a closet really does exist.

And I do often joke with my parents that if things start to go south, it would be an excellent place to hide out. I never have figured out a practical use for that closet within a closet, but after having read this week’s Citizen interview with Garden Valley real estate agent Gary Craven, I can’t help but think my dream scenario might have been exactly what the home’s designer had in mind when drawing up the plans.

So there you have it: Should the “shit hit the fan,” you’ll find me in a closet. In a closet. And the house will look abandoned—likely I’ll throw a foreclosed sign on it (see Rec, Page 30). As for food, I’ll be washing down some SPAM and powdered eggs (see Food, Page 32) with a growler of 10 Barrel Apocalypse IPA (see Beer Guzzler, Page 32) while I sing along to “A Hard Rain’s A Gonna Fall” (see Noise, Page 24) and play apocalypse trivia with the poor sap who gets stuck in the closet with me.

Needless to say, it’s a pretty ridiculous issue. However, there’s one story in particular I’d like to draw your attention to—this week’s News piece, “Five Weeks” on Page 8.

As you read the story of a young mother who is fighting her insurance company to cover part of her chemotherapy treatment, you might find, as I did, a nasty bit of political hyperbole coming to mind: death panels. As the nation debates the role of government in health care, a woman in Mountain Home has some asking what may be an equally complex question: What is the role of a health-insurance company when it comes to care, particularly when its first concern is to its bottom line rather than its customer?

BILL COPE/OPINION

THE GREAT WHITE HORSE Red has a new stake in this election

“Red! Look at you all dressed up. White shirt. Tie. Bicycle helmet. What’s all this about? And who’s your young friend?”

“Cope, meet my bicycle buddy, Brigham X Aeleahakamonee. He come all the way here from New Provo on one of them Owyhian Islands to spread the word, an’ I’m showing him the ropes of good old Mur’dian. I told ’em I’d do anything they asks me to do, except I had to do it here in Mur’dian so’s I could get home quick if’n the power went out on my meat locker.

Now Cope, what don’tcha know about us Latter-day Sainters that you been dyin’ to ask ’bout?”

“Uh, hold on, Red. Are you telling me you’re a ... a ...?”

“Yup! Nows I am. An’ this’n be the very first day of my mission. It’s supposed to go a couple o’ years, but I’m hopin’ I can get some time shaved off if I bring in a snoot-full of converts.”

“But didn’t you belong to the Church of the Holy somethingorother Covenant in the Vineyard of somethingsomething Christ the Ascensioning Adventist? Or something like that.”

“I did. Yup, up ’til just a couple weeks ago, I did. Been a member of that church ever since some feller what preaches Sunday nights on public access TV was telling about how the church what I was brought up in is the Whore of Babylawn. Like in the Book of Revulootions, you know? Wull brother Cope, I sure didn’t wanna be part o’ no Whore of Babylawn, so’s I packed my wife and kids over to that Christian church. An’ I gotta admit, it was a dang good ’un. Ever’ Wens’dee night, they run classes on how to build your own storage shed out o’ sod and how to make mighty tasty casseroles out them freeze-dried survival food packets we all stocked up on back when Barack Obama got elected.”

“So why’d you go Mormon?”

“Cope, the way I figure it, this is the best time ever to be a Mormon. We’re just a months away from having our first LSD president, an’… ” “That’s not at all a sure thing, Red, and I believe you mean ‘LDS.’” “What’d I say? Did I say ‘LSD’ again?

Gull durn, that little boner almost kept me outa the fold. Anyway, we’re gonna have our first LDS president … no matter what you say, Cope … an’ he’ll be filling all sort of positions, ya’ know? Appointing securtaries o’ this and that, and chief of who’sit and ambassadors to whatever. And them fellers’ll be filling up their guv’mint buildings with other appointees, and so on, right down the line to what guys get picked to head up things like the Office of Salmonella Inspectors and the Bureau of Indian Casinos. Sos if’n this ain’t a good time to be a Mormon, you tell me when is.”

WWW. B OISEWEEKLY.C O M

“Then this is a career decision you’ve made? Sort of like you’re using your newly found faith as, uh ... let’s call it venture capital?”

“Wull Cope, where’s it says in the Bible nor the BOM that a man ...”

“The ‘BOM’?”

“Book of Mormon, idjut. So’s where’s it say a man can’t be a bona fide believer and be trying to move hisself up in the world at the same time. An’ besides, it ain’t all just about getting a better job. You ever heard of the White Horse, Cope? The White Horse what will come an’ save America from total ruination in the nick o’ time?”

“Uh-huh. I’ve heard of it, the White Horse Prophecy made by Joseph Smith ... supposedly.”

“Yup. Old Joe said there’d come a day when the Constitution’ll be hanging by a skinny, skinny thread. No bigger than a hair off’n your fanny, Cope! An’ it’ll take a White Horse to come roarin’ in and save the whole kit’n’caboodle. Wull, don’t you see how the Constitution is hangin’ by a skinny thread right now?”

“Let me guess. You see Mitt Romney as the White Horse. Right?”

“Wull think ’bout it. Is there anyone whiter? And he’s got a horse! See what I’m gettin’ at? That fancy dancin’ horse o’ his?

I don’t imagine the horse is what’s gonna save the country. I think old Joe Smith meant that a white feller is the White Horse, even if the horse he rides in on is brown. An’ I’m guessing if old Joe were alive today, it’d be the ‘White Cadillac Prophecy.’ But hows can you not see the writing on the wall, Cope?

It’s right there in front of ya.”

“Red, you know, don’t you, that even the Mormon poobahs don’t acknowledge the White Horse Prophecy? There is controversy over whether Smith even said it.”

“Yeah, that’s what they tell outsiders.

But to the true-blue Sainters like me and Brigham X here, see … we know when to know when them church elders are saying things just to make you gentilers stop claimin’ we’re out to take over the world. And we knows how what they really believe in is just the opposite of what they say they don’t believe in. See how that works? They tells you how the White Horse ain’t part of no church doctorin’, and that tells us the White Horse is definitely part of church doctorin’.

Un’erstand?”

“Understood. And Red, I know exactly the government job you should be positioning yourself for. You know … for when all those appointments start coming down.”

“What’s that?”

“You’d be the perfect man to head up the Office of White Horse Puckey Pickup. And all you’d need for the job is a scoop shovel and a wheelbarrow. Get it?”

“Har har, Cope. Big har har.”

OPINION/TED RALL

SERVICE, PLEASE

Congress should mandate phone reps If you’re like me, you travel a lot. And if you’re on Facebook, odds are that you’ve been locked out of your account because you logged in from an “unfamiliar location.”

Facebook’s test to make you prove you are who you say you are is bizarre: It shows you random pictures of your Facebook “friends” and ask you to identify them. Most of my “friends” are readers of my cartoons and books. I don’t know their faces. Moreover, not all of my “friends’” photos are of themselves.

One Facebook test—I kept failing—presented me with pictures of potted plants.

Why does Facebook freak out when I log in from San Diego while Citibank allows me to move money using no more than a password—from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan?

During my third week of Facebook Lockout Month, I tried to call the company to ask that question and plead my case. I couldn’t.

Facebook doesn’t have a service number.

Some tech companies have phone numbers, but there’s no way to talk to a live human.

“Twitter’s system hangs up after providing Web or email addresses three times,” Amy O’Leary reported in the New York Times.

“At the end of a long phone tree, Facebook’s system explains it is, in fact, ‘an Internet-based company.’ Try email, it suggests.”

When tech companies worth $10 billion don’t have a working phone number, you know they’ve taken “drop dead” to a whole new level.

“A lot of these companies don’t have enough employees to talk to,” Paul Saffo, a technology forecaster in Silicon Valley, told The Times. “Facebook, for example, has just one employee for every 300,000 users. Its

6 | JULY 18–24, 2012 | BOISEweekly

online systems process more than 2 million customer requests a day.”

Indeed, one of the more troubling aspects of the Internet revolution is that the new tech sector employs far fewer workers per dollar of capitalization than the older industries, such as manufacturing, that it is replacing. Big banks like Goldman Sachs may be profit-sucking vampire squids, yet they’re not nearly as destructive as high-valuation, low-payroll leeches like Twitter and Facebook.

General Motors, a company with $39 billion in equity value, directly employs 207,000 people, plus many more indirectly through its suppliers. Facebook has nearly twice the market capitalization ($67 billion) but employs a miserly 1,400 workers. On Wall Street, Facebook is worth more than GM. On Main Street, GM is worth 250 Facebooks.

It should be obvious to everyone that companies have a moral obligation to be responsive to the public, and that their duty to provide high-quality customer service increases exponentially as they grow in size. It should be equally obvious that companies that extract billions in profits from the American public have a moral responsibility to hire members of the American public.

Clearly, the big tech companies are refusing to meet these minimum standards.

We should demand, Congress pass, and the president should sign a law that sets clear standards for customer service by large corporations. For every X number of customers and/ or every Y million dollars of capitalization, there should be one U.S.-based, native Englishspeaking, professional customer service rep waiting to take our calls and help us.

FIVE WEEKS David Wright, 57, is homeless and spends time in the library to get out of the heat.

Idaho woman, facing mounting debt, appeals to Blue Cross to cover her cancer treatment GEORGE PRENTICE

THE LONG, HOT SUMMER With a dripping towel draped around his neck, David Wright sat in front of a fan in a storage shed at Boise’s Interfaith Sanctuary on July 12, seeking brief reprieve from a sixth-straight day of triple-digit temperatures. Wright is one of hundreds of Boise’s homeless to take advantage of the Sanctuary’s “beat the heat” efforts, by providing shaded areas and distributing hot-weather supplies.

“I guess I’m very sensitive to the heat,” said Wright. “It catches me off guard and I drop.”

Blistering heat has caused Wright to collapse several times so far this summer.

He told Citydesk that his access to medical care was limited, but doctors ruled out any underlying illness, citing Wright’s age, 57, as the major factor in his heat sensitivity.

“Recently, it’s been getting worse,” he said. “People close to me say it looks like it’s starting to beat me down.”

Jayne Sorrels, Interfaith Sanctuary’s executive director, said “beat the heat” has two main components: “No. 1 is the gathering of supplies for people who are on the street during the day,” she said. “Unfortunately, this is a time when our donations drop off significantly, because people don’t think about homelessness in the summer.”

As quickly as they can collect them, sanctuary volunteers are distributing bottled water, sunscreen, hats and visors to the homeless. More importantly, they swing the shelter’s doors open each evening, just as Boise begins to bake.

“We open at about the peak time of the heat every night—6 p.m.,” said Sorrels.

When the shelter closes at 7 a.m. scores of homeless men, women and children spill back on to Boise’s hot pavement, but the Sanctuary tries to equip each with some of the donated hot-weather supplies.

“I think people don’t think about what you do if you don’t have a place to go to stay cool,” said Sorrels. “There are only so many options when you have no money. You might go to the park and sit by the river, but it’s still hot.”

Wright said he spends most of his days in the air-conditioned main branch of the Boise Public Library, searching online for work. He picks up odd jobs around town, but because he is unable to work outdoors, his options in the summer become very limited.

“It sucks,” he said. “I’m 57. It’s not going to get any better. But without the Sanctuary, I’d be out on the street. I’d be lost.”

Danni Gilbert wants another season. She wants to see the leaves change, to return to Mountain Home High School to meet a new class of students, to possibly watch her 5and 7-year-old daughters open presents under a Christmas tree or to blow out the candles on another birthday cake. But she needs some help.

Cancer has made its way into her 39-yearold lungs and liver. Her oncologist, Dr. Dan Zuckerman, knows what to do: administer a biweekly cocktail of chemotherapy complete with Avastin, a drug designed to rob a cancerous tumor of precious blood cells.

But Gilbert’s insurance company, Blue Cross of Idaho, won’t pay for the Avastin, ruling that the drug doesn’t meet what it calls a “standard of care.” So instead, Gilbert is faced with shelling out $3,300 every other week for a drug that her physician says is her best bet to prolong her life.

Several hours of interviews with Gilbert’s family, friends and caregivers, as well as Blue Cross officials still left key questions unanswered, questions that revealed the greater dilemma of health care in America, no matter what your political leanings may be: UÊ UÊ UÊ

What good is cutting-edge medical care if it can’t be paid for?

Who gets to be the final arbiter of how and when treatment is offered?

What is the value of life, no matter how short it may be?

Emotions ran high in a series of conversations in which Boise Weekly was given precedent-setting access to Gilbert’s records at St. Luke’s Mountain States Tumor Institute and the Meridian headquarters of Blue Cross of Idaho. What BW discovered was much more than a heartbreaking story of a wife, teacher and mother of two. Danni Gilbert is an everywoman who fears being asked to measure the quality of her life while others measure how long she will ultimately live.

THE CANCER “What do you want to do, babe?” asked James Gilbert on June 21.

Danni looked up at her high-school sweetheart, father of her two daughters and husband of 16 years. She was lying down in a MSTI treatment room as she and her husband awaited her biweekly chemo. The Gilberts and Zuckerman were set to proceed with her treatment, until a St. Luke’s associate walked into the room with the news that Blue Cross had

just denied payment for Avastin. The St. Luke’s employee explained that Gilbert could pay $3,300 for the Avastin or refuse the treatment that Zuckerman was convinced would be her best hope.

“What do you want to do?” asked James.

Danni and James met in high school in Great Falls, Mont. James always wanted to be a teacher. After a brief but successful career in human resources, Danni eventually followed her husband’s career path.

“Danni is always looking out for the little guy,” said James. “And she’s always going to bat for underprivileged kids.”

When the Gilberts moved to Idaho in 1997, James took a teaching job in Mountain Home while Danni taught special education at Boise’s Taft Elementary. In 1999, Danni also began working in Elmore County, teaching history, psychology and sociology at Mountain Home High School. James eventually became the assistant superintendent of the Mountain Home School District. Their two daughters were born in 2005 and 2007. Life was good.

“We’ve always been in pretty good shape, not fitness freaks but always active,” said Danni. “In 2010, I wanted to compete in the City of Trees marathon so I started running.

But after a mile or two, it was difficult to breathe and that’s not like me.”

One physician treated Danni for allergies.

Another doctor thought it might be asthma.

But a CT scan in September 2010 revealed a series of white pockets in her lungs, triggering a biopsy and, in short order, a diagnosis of stage-four colorectal cancer.

Danni was stunned but was immediately referred to MSTI and Zuckerman.

“Everybody says I have the best doctor available,” she said.

THE CAREGIVER “In many cases, patients diagnosed with stage-four cancer may die in the first six

months. But my single goal is to help Danni live as long and as well as she possibly can,” said Zuckerman, taking a long breath to consider his next statement. “But she knows what she faces. She has no illusions.”

Zuckerman, a native of Boise, returned to his hometown to practice oncology after 16 years of education and training in Chicago and Boston. At any given time, he sees hundreds of patients at MSTI. “I’ve treated thousands since I’ve been here,” he said. “I currently have about 100 patients on active chemotherapy and hundreds more in their first five years following chemotherapy.”

Zuckerman, married and a father of 5-,7and 9-year-olds, spoke plainly but also experienced more than a few lumps in his throat while talking about his patient.

“She’s a young, vibrant woman—married with kids about my age,” he said, taking another long pause. “But she’s fighting for her life. Who can fault a young woman with young kids in the prime of her life?”

Shortly after her diagnosis in September 2010, Zuckerman prescribed a chemotherapy regimen of something called Folfiri, a cocktail of drugs and vitamins, along with Avastin, which he said has shown great promise in the 21st century.

“In 2004, gold-standard evidence showed that Avastin was robbing tumors of blood vessels,” he said. “That’s a home run.”

When BW asked Zuckerman what adding Avastin offered his patient, he took yet another long breath.

“Six months,” he said. “Now, that may shock you as a layperson. But I must tell you that six months is a blockbuster. Avastin is not a cure but it is clearly a drug that could prolong life.”

Initially, as a first-line treatment, Blue Cross agreed. In fact, the carrier approved payment for the full treatment. The Gilberts’ policy WWW. B O I S E WE E KLY. C O M

NEWS requires $1,500 in annual individual deductible expenses.

“The treatment worked very well for Danni,” remembered Zuckerman.

Danni’s colorectal cancer abated but the disease made its way to her lung and liver.

That’s when Zuckerman began Folfox, a revised chemotherapy regimen for what would be formally labeled as a “second-line treatment,” a regimen that did not include Avastin.

“Following what we knew and the base guidelines at the time, we didn’t include Avastin,” said Zuckerman.

But a meeting of the nation’s top oncologists as recent as a month ago was a gamechanger, according to Zuckerman, and new hope was on the horizon, or so he thought.

THE CUTTING-EDGE RESEARCH The annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncologists, held in Chicago in early June, attracted more than 30,000 of America’s physicians and cancer specialists.

Zuckerman, an ASCO member, said the conference is traditionally a platform for the latest in cancer research.

“A presentation at ASCO revealed that Avastin was now having success in second-line treatment,” he said. “This was huge. Needless to say, I was anxious to share the news with Danni but she had already read about it by the time I returned to Boise.”

Zuckerman said a control trial had indicated that adding Avastin to the second line of treatment could prolong Danni’s life.

“The median age of prolonged life was 1.4 months,” he said.

While five weeks may not seem long to most, Zuckerman said Danni would not have the extra five weeks otherwise.

“And who knows where Danni is on the curve? Two months? Six more months? She was a strong, healthy woman before this diagnosis and that’s important,” he said but conceded that he was not talking about adding years to his patient’s life.

But Zuckerman and Danni’s hope for another season came to a halt on June 21 when Blue Cross said “no” to Avastin for secondline treatment.

THE ARBITER Following Blue Cross’ denial of Avastin as a second-line treatment, Danni’s appeal letter to the insurance company was filled with grief.

“I was shocked but also determined to do everything in my power to fight this disease,” wrote Danni. “Never in my wildest dreams did I think that part of this fight would be with my insurance provider.”

Blue Cross officials were reluctant to talk to BW about her plight, but after Danni signed a HIPAA waiver, Karen Early, director of corporate communications, and Josh Jordan, corporate communications specialist, sat down for the better part of two hours to discuss what Early agreed was a “dreadful situation.”

About 600,000 Idahoans carry Blue Cross of Idaho insurance cards in their wallet. Blue Cross is, by far, the Gem State’s largest carrier, pulling in $1.6 billion in revenues in 2011.

WWW. B OISEWEEKLY.C O M

Ninety-six percent of Idaho’s physicians are approved providers in Blue Cross’ network, including Zuckerman, and 100 percent of Idaho’s hospitals, including St. Luke’s and MSTI, are also in the network.

When BW told Zuckerman about Blue Cross’ acceptance for an interview, he had a request.

“I would ask them to let me do my job,” Zuckerman told BW. “I’m not making things up. This is clear data. I just want to do my job.”

But in response, Early said Blue Cross “had a job, too.”

“Our job is to act in a way that facilitates hundreds of thousands of people to be able to afford their medical care,” said Early. “It’s our job to make sure that what we pay for has known therapeutic care.”

Early revealed that Danni’s appeal process had been bumped all the way up to Dr. Lance Coleman, Blue Cross’ director of medicine, who denied her appeal.

Early said Coleman had determined that the standard of care, which according to Blue Cross didn’t include Avastin for second-line treatment, had not been met.

“We’ve paid $350,000 for her care for the last two-and-a-half years. It’s not as though Blue Cross hasn’t provided coverage,” she said. “We don’t pay for experimental or investigational drugs.”

But Avastin is neither experimental nor investigational. Blue Cross has approved its usage for hundreds of other Idaho cancer patients in first-line care. In fact, Danni’s dilemma may come down to a life-or-death tug-of-war surrounding the words “or” and “and.” Simply put, Avastin’s prescription label recommends the drug’s usage “for first- or second-line treatment.”

“That says ‘or,’ not ‘and,’” said Early.

“And Dr. Zuckerman is asking for us to approve Avastin for first ‘and’ second line treatment.”

If there is a glimmer of hope for Danni and her physician, it may come in new levels of appeals that Early revealed in BW’s interview.

“We will offer Dr. Zuckerman and Danni the chance to sit down and talk with our Dr. Coleman,” said Early. “Additionally, we’ll pay for an independent review, outside of our organization, and we’ll be bound by that decision. And we won’t ask that Danni be bound by it in case she still wants to appeal.

If an outside investigation reviews all the data and finds in her favor, we’ll pay everything retroactively.”

But as BW was going to press on July 18, Danni still faced another $3,300 out-of-pocket bill during her latest chemotherapy treatment.

She has even consulted with an attorney about the possibility of divorcing her husband so as not to burden him and their children with mounting debt when she passes.

“This is so much more than Danni, more than St. Luke’s, more than Blue Cross,” said Zuckerman. “There are so many people who can’t or won’t bring this fight. I’m so privileged to take care of her. She’s a remarkable woman.”

GARY CRAVEN JER EM Y LANNINGHAM

PREPARING FOR THE END OF THE WORLD …

OR SOMETHING LIKE IT GEORGE PRENTICE

The view from Gary Craven’s window at Garden Valley Homes and Land in Crouch is idyllic.

“Pine trees, mountain, blue skies and temperatures in the low 70s,” he said. “God’s country.”

But Craven’s view beyond the horizon isn’t pretty at all. In fact, it’s hell on Earth, including possible nuclear conflict, economic collapse and anarchy.

Craven, 63, is a “prepper.” He’s not necessarily preparing for the end of the world, but he’s getting ready for all kinds of chaos. In fact, as a real estate broker, Craven offers some Garden Valley properties that he says would be perfect when “the shit hits the fan.”

In your previous profession, you were Ada County’s deputy coroner. Did you spend your days declaring people dead?

Deputies do most of the investigations, determining whether a death was natural, accidental, a homicide or suicide.

How does a job like that not affect you?

To do the job, you have to steel your emotions.

Does any of that inform you being a prepper?

It does show you the underbelly of society and how things might get out of control.

Maybe it affected me that way.

What’s the difference between a prepper and a survivalist?

I think a survivalist is a guy that goes out into the woods and survives on his own for no reason. A prepper is someone preparing for what’s coming.

I don’t think I’ve heard of a prepper until recently.

I think the media hung it on people. But there are all different types of preppers, preparing for economic collapse or [electromagnetic pulses].

Which category do you fit into?

If you’re a little prepared for almost anything, you have a much better chance of getting through those times. I don’t think the world is going to end, but I think we’re in for some real trouble.

If you were to use an analogy of a clock, how close are we to midnight?

Right on the edge of the last minute. But I don’t think that’s an end-of-the-world clock.

I think there’s going to be a new world. We’ll have a lot of trouble and a lot of people won’t make it through.

Do governments and nations fail in that scenario?

Absolutely, but they’ll probably be reformed. Plus, I think nature will play a part—more earthquakes, natural disasters. A lot of people aren’t going to be here.

In looking at one of your real estate listings, I see a riverfront retreat in Garden Valley. You say the property is a prepper’s dream.

Garden Valley is a perfect place to be away from the big city. Unrestricted property means you can do what you want to do— maybe build an underground shelter.

You also write that it’s a good place to be when the shit hits the fan.

At least you can be away from the maddening crowd.

How worried should we be?

Time is growing short. All you have to do is look at Iran, which wants to blow us and Israel off the map. When they get the bomb, they’re going to use it.

Do you engage with other preppers?

I really don’t share much, and I don’t think other preppers want to share either.

It’s not a movement, it’s individuals. For instance, most preppers don’t want anybody else to know if they have a bug-out plan.

Why would they even tell other preppers?

Are you more nervous than the rest of us?

I’m at peace. We shouldn’t panic. It’s pretty smart to prepare in a variety of ways.

You can always use stuff that you store away, even if the shit doesn’t hit the fan.

MIND OVER THE

APOCALYPSE

WHY PEOPLE BUY INTO THE END OF THE WORLD DEANNA DARR | ILLUSTRATIONS BY ADAM ROSENLUND Did a group of ancient Mayans sit around one day and forecast the end of the world, which just so happens to be roughly five months away?

Some people think so, just as others were betting that Judgment Day would arrive on May 21, 2011, or—since deciphering cosmic calendars can be understandably tricky—Oct. 21, 2011.

Humans were predicting the end of the world long before those ancient Maya were a glimmer on the horizon. And all that time, other people have bought into the idea, absolutely convinced that they would witness the end of days.

It’s safe to say that, at least until this point, they were all wrong.

But why do people across history and around the world continue to put their lot in with the self-proclaimed prophets who always seem to be predicting one apocalypse or another?

It might just be a matter of human nature.

Steven Lawyer, a clinical psychologist who teaches a class on science and pseudoscience at Idaho State University, said that people are often just looking for a little certainty in an uncertain world.

“Some people have a real intolerance for uncertainty,” he said.

“When you have this uncertainty, it is unsettling to you. ... People need to look for things that are going to lend them a sense of certainty that things are going to happen.”

Just what has people feeling uncertain depends on the person, culture and what’s going on in the world, but Lawyer said a reoccurring issue is mankind’s understanding of death.

“Existentialists would argue that much of human behavior is based around the meaning of life and trying to understand what 12 happens after death,” he said. “If you grow up in a certain belief system, the idea of the apocalypse generates a certain level of

predictability.�

End-of-the-world fears and pre11 dictions aren’t limited by geography or culture; in fact, they’re rather widespread.

Whether it was the Ghost Dance (in which a group of American Indians believed that the world would be regenerated and their people returned to an idealistic existence) or the Cargo Cults of Micronesia (who believed that the higher powers would drop cargo from the sky and end their dependence on the white traders who came to their islands), such ideas often arise during times of turmoil within a society, according to anthropologist John Ziker, who teaches at Boise State.

Ziker said that during periods of great stress, often a self-proclaimed prophet will arise with a plan and begin attracting recruits looking for someone with answers.

That, too, falls in line with human nature, Lawyer said. “We tend to think that there are certain people who have the market cornered on the truth,� he said.

As like-minded people begin looking for their truth, they form a social connection, whether they know it or not, Ziker said.

It also doesn’t hurt that mankind, as a whole, tends to be a bit narcissistic. “Everyone thinks that the apocalypse is going to happen when they are alive,�

Lawyer said. “It’s the notion that anything big will happen in our time, that this is the important time.�

Both Lawyer and Ziker agree that while the end of the world has been predicted since the beginning of the world, the degree to which the world is connected has changed the way apocalyptic prophecies and beliefs spread. “There’s a much stronger and easier connection with other cultures,� Lawyer said. “It allows us to be aware of events going on around the world that might feed into our beliefs in the end of the world.�

He said people who believe tend to look for patterns and connections to support their beliefs while ignoring bits of information that are contradictory to those ideas.

Psychologists use the term “cognitive dissonanceâ€? to deďŹ ne that oh-so-human habit of making our beliefs ďŹ t what we want them to. “It gets us into trouble all the time,â€?

Lawyer said.

But what happens when the predicted day of the apocalypse comes and the world just keeps rolling along? While it might be reasonable to think that those who bought in most whole-heartedly to the prediction would be the most angry, research has shown that they are actually the ones most likely to continue their belief, Lawyer said.

In the 1950s, social psychologist Leon Festinger made his way into a cult that believed a UFO was going to come and save a few chosen people from the apocalypse.

When the mother ship failed to scoop them up, Festinger found that the most hard-core believers were the ones who found excuses for why things didn’t work out as expected. “They ďŹ nd ways to justify their beliefs,â€?

Lawyer said.

When it comes to the predicted Mayan apocalypse Friday, Dec. 21, Lawyer said it may be that some people have chosen to see the Mayans as a sort of mystical culture.

Like many other scientists—who have spoken out that the end of one Mayan calendar does not mean the end of the world and have found other Mayan calendars going beyond Dec. 21—Ziker just smiles in a shaking-his-head kind of way. “There’s a lack of critical thinking,� he said, diplomatically.

GET A HEALTHY DOSE OF

APACO-OPTIMISM THE UPSIDE TO THE APOCALYPSE Contemplating the end of the world can instill a sense of extreme fear, wide-spread panic and a need to get in touch with our inner survivalists. But the only for-sure effect of all the fretting, re-evaluating of religious views, repenting and hoarding is an elevation of bloodpressure levels. Instead of focusing on the sure-to-be-awful things associated with all the apocalypse talk, why not drink that proverbial half-full glass of optimism, channel your inner Pangloss and have your apocalypse sunny side up?

According to a May 21 article by New York Times health writer Jane E. Brody, “adults shown to be pessimists based on psychological tests had higher death rates over a 30-year period than those who were shown optimistic.â€? Sure, in the event of an apocalypse, you could be wiped out by robots/zombies/oods/freezing/exploding of the world, rendering the life-preserving effects of optimism irrelevant, but in case you do survive or all this end-ofdays stuff works out to be a bunch of hooey, here are some positive aspects of any event that may wipe out a good chunk of civilization. Roll these around in your noggin’ when hunkered down in your bunker, take some deep breaths, and feel better about the world’s downfall.

NOSTRADAMUS RANKING SCALE HOW LIKELY THEY ARE TO BE “THE ONE.” Nostradamus really liked to predict the end of the world. In fact, it doesn’t seem like he did much else. So when analyzing the myriad threats to Earth and/or humanity—earthquakes, nuclear meltdowns, Justin Bieber riots, etc ...—Ol’ Nosy seems like the most appropriate barometer. Boise Weekly took a list of potential apocalypses and ranked them from 0-10 Nostradamus units, for how likely they are to be “the one.”

SHOPPING

FOR THE APOCALYPSE WHAT GOOD IS MONEY ANYHOW? GEORGE PRENTICE Shopping for zombie knives, Chinese riot gear and radiation pills gives a whole new meaning to what retailers have called Black Friday.

In fact, preppers, survivalists or garden-variety nut jobs envision spending many days perusing scores of online end-of-the-world retailers hawking Mayan wall clocks or Armageddon underwear. When retailers say, “Everything must go,” this time, they may really mean it.

“You really can’t tell a prepper by looking at them,” said Dan Turrittin, owner of Boise Army Navy, Boise’s go-to location for survivalist gear. “We’ve probably always had them among us. Let’s face it, most people are just one step away from having all of their camping gear and being a full-blown prepper.”

Turrittin should know. As the owner of the landmark store for two years and employee for 25 more, he’s lost count of how many men and women he’s helped put together a bug-out bag for when the big one drops.

“Take a look over here,” said Turrittin making his way to what has become known as the bug-out aisle.

“We thought about putting together a bag, but most prep-

pers like to make their own. But we still offer some suggestions.”

A bright yellow “What In Your Bug Out Bag?” sign stands over bins of first aid kits, pack axes, duct tape, kerosene lanterns, matches, mess kits and MREs. “My guess is that with the bag included, you could put together your own supply for maybe $200 minimum,” said Turrittin.

But for every serious prepper, there’s also someone that is, let’s just say, off the boil.

“We have some bleeding zombies for target practice, and this particular knife is from our zombie line,” said Turrittin, pointing to a $50 Ka-bar blade that was more machete than knife.

Armageddon is apparently recession proof, or at least as close as any business can be.

“We sure weather some bad economic times, certainly more than others have,” said Turrittin.

He’s hoping that the end of days is later, rather than sooner. Business is that good. Ê

Zoo Boise folks are real late-night party animals.

FRIDAY JULY 20 zzzzzz SNOOZE AT THE ZOO OK, so who wants a drink at the Sun Valley Center for the Arts Wine Auction?

THURSDAY-SATURDAY JULY 19-21 vino SUN VALLEY CENTER FOR THE ARTS WINE AUCTION The Sun Valley Center for the Arts is pulling out all the bells and whistles with a three-day wine auction packed with chocolates, one of the coolest marching bands around, dinners prepared by personal chefs, picnics and, of course, lots of wine. It all goes down Thursday, July 19-Saturday, July 21, in the Sun Valley/Ketchum area.

Among the less expensive highlights of the three-day fete are a chocolate and wine tasting, featuring chief chocolatier David Owens and Bissinger’s Handcrafted Chocolates on Friday, July 20, and a wine tasting and picnic, featuring March Fourth Marching Band on Saturday, July 21.

“On Thursday, we have all of the higher-end events like vintner dinners, where vintners come and pour wine, and we bring in chefs to design meals around the wine,” said Melissa Becker, summer assistant at the Sun Valley Center for the Arts.

Cocktail attire and jackets are recommended for the vintner dinners, which will be held in private homes across the valley and offer perfect pairings of wine and cuisine prepared by some of the finest chefs in the nation. Similar attire is encouraged for Friday’s gala, featuring 40 different auction lots, a live auction, dinner and a surprise performance.

Even if you’re not in it for the wine, catching March Fourth is still well worth the trip. This eclectic marching band comprised of musicians, acrobats, stilt-walkers and dancers is known for its wildly theatrical performances and ability to get a crowd dancing.

Proceeds from this annual fundraising event have represented between 30 and 50 percent of the center’s annual budget, helping the center achieve its mission of making the arts more accessible.

Various times and locations, $40-$750 individual events, $1,500-$2,500 packages. Sun Valley Center for the Arts, 191 Fifth St. E., Ketchum, 208-726-9491, wineauction.sunvalleycenter.org.

Never mock a short man. Especially comedian Kevin Hart.

FRIDAY JULY 20

Books: They’re like TV shows in your brain.

funny KEVIN HART’S LET ME EXPLAIN TOUR Standing at just more than 5 feet tall, comedian and actor Kevin Hart has self-deprecation down. Before launching into a falsetto-voiced rap verse, Hart joked, “I wish I could be a rapper or some shit. But nobody would want to listen to my album, my voice is too small” in his special I’m a Grown Little Man. Hart’s career began at amateur night at a Philadelphia comedy club. Not long after, he quit his job as a shoe salesman and worked his way into skits at the Laugh Factory and Laughs Comedy Festival. In February 2011, he broke a record set by Eddie Murphy after selling out a two-night performance at Los Angeles’ Nokia Theatre. He’ll bring his brand of funny to the Morrison Center Friday, July 20, as part of his Let Me Explain Tour.

Topics in his show often return to Hart’s inability to exhibit anything approaching the “thug” style, his diminutive stature and his family, including raising his young daughter and son.

Poking fun at himself for falling short of stereotypes—that his stature and demeanor don’t inspire machismo—has proved popular enough for three specials, including Seriously Funny, which was distributed nationally on DVD. One of his most-watched skits on YouTube includes mocking a conversation with his daughter, who was learning to speak, asking for more juice. “Mggammama juice!” Hart impersonates, to which he responds, “Who the fuck you think you talkin’ to?”

When Hart isn’t touring for comedy, he works on the silver screen. He’s had roles in The 40 Year Old Virgin, Barbershop, and the Five-Year Engagement. His largest part yet is in Think Like a Man. Tickets for his stop in Boise are available at idahotickets.com.

7 p.m., $57.50. Morrison Center, 2201 Cesar Chavez Lane, 208-426-1609, mc.boisestate.edu.

Roughly 18 local artisans and crafters will set up outside the coffeeshop with a variety of wares, including wood work, soaps, vintage-y goodies from Spools and Jewels, totes for you and your bike by Bella Grano and plenty of items for kids.

Speaking of youngins, entertainment will be provided outside Flying M starting at 10 a.m. and continuing every other hour on the hour until 2 p.m. by youthful performers from the Salvation Army music program.

The program is designed to teach performance skills

SATURDAY JULY 21 pancakes & paperbacks BREAKFAST WITH BOOKS While adults revel in snagging sambusas and kombucha at Capital City Public Market on Saturdays, sometimes little tikes can’t be satiated with all the fresh veggies in the world. Conveniently, Rediscovered Books on Eighth Street has a plan to feed and entertain children with its Breakfast with Books program.

Each child receives breakfast provided by Brick Oven Bistro, engages in a craft-making activity to make something to take home, listens to a story read by bookseller Jamie Schildknecht and nabs a coupon good toward 25 percent off a children’s book.

The second event of the series begins at 9 a.m.

Saturday, July 21, with the theme Fractured Fair y Tales.

Schildknecht plans to pick three stories that retell classic fair y tales, such as the Three Little Pigs and their plan to frame the Big Bad Wolf. He suggests an age range of 4-8 years old.

This month, the book store is capping registration somewhere between 12 and 15 children, with advance tickets available on its website, and lowering the cost to $5 plus a 5 percent discount on a book.

The series will continue Saturday, Aug. 25, when Rediscovered will feature Terribly Terrific Tongue-Twisters, which are sure to put Schildknecht’s reading skills to the test.

9-10 a.m., $5. Rediscovered Books, 180 N. Eighth St., 208-376-4229, rdbooks.org.

Nothing is more picturesque than cooking dinner around a campfire— flames licking the underbelly of a cast iron pot and crisping the edges of a gooey marshmallow.

But building said campfire doesn’t have to be an epic undertaking requiring the expertise of an axe-wielding Hercules.

For the lessbiolitestove.com skilled fire-starter, there’s the BioLite Camp Stove, a 33-ounce portable stove the size of a Nalgene water bottle that runs on twigs, pinecones and wood pellets.

According to the BioLite website, where the campstove sells for $129: “Open wood fires are inefficient, wasting potential energy and creating toxic smoke due to incomplete combustion. Carefully designed stoves that use fans to blow air into the fire can dramatically improve combustion.”

But smart design is just the tip of the flame—BioLite also helps keep you connected off the grid. The device converts heat from the fire into usable electricity, so you can recharge phones, lights and other electronic gadgets while you cook. It takes approximately 4.5 minutes to boil 1 liter of water and 20 minutes of charging will provide 60 minutes of talk time on an iPhone 4S. But BioLite isn’t just concerned with the tech-savvy outdoor enthusiast, the company also produces a HomeStove, which is “designed for the 3 billion people worldwide who cook on smoky, open fires, [and] provides LPG-like cooking performance while serving as an affordable source of electricity to charge life-changing devices.”

Ghostland Observatory’s Aaron Behrens wonders if there are indeed lasers in the jungle somewhere.

MASSV DANCE PARTY Despite the omnipresent heat, this week brought live music lovers to their feet. Alive After Five kicked things off in sweltering, ass-shaking style with a performance by throwback funk/ soulsters Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears on July 11.

According to Boise Weekly intern Tabitha Bower: “Between taking swigs of his Dos Equis and showcasing his vocal talents, a sweetly dirty mixture of grit and soul, Lewis showed off his skills by playing his electric guitar with his teeth.”

But the band wasn’t done having its way with Idaho audiences. On July 13, Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears poured its sticky sweet jams on the crowd gathered for the inaugural MASSV music and art festival-slash-carnival in Ketchum.

According to BW Staff Writer Andrew Crisp: “When the electric Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears took the stage, the area in front of the stage became clogged with people, which only grew more chaotic when Adventure Club, the first real electro act of the night, took the stage.”

The dance party continued into the night, with a set by festival investor Doc Rock/DJ Alien, who donned a metallic suit that shot lasers from his fingers and an elaborate alien get-up.

The second day of the festival got off to a much slower start, as revelers nursed hangovers and avoided the sheets of rain soaking the city. Despite low attendance for Boise bands Shades and Atomic Mama, and an early end to Finn Riggins’ set to funnel water to the ground from the tarpaulin roof, the party continued with headliners Ghostland Observatory.

“The crowd quickly rushed back to the main stage, finally cleared of its water issues,” wrote Crisp. “There, Thomas Ross Turner, draped in the Lone Star flag as a shroud, dropped the band’s electro blend of funk and rock while singer Aaron Behrens caterwauled about the stage.”

Back in a much drier Boise, Bower hit up Opera Idaho’s production of Oklahoma July 13 at Idaho Botanical Garden.

“The cast, all Boise locals, filled the garden with their big voices, backed by a 14-piece orchestra,” wrote Bower. “The audience sprawled out in fold-up chairs and blankets, passing around bottles of wine, laughing in harmony with the cast and singing along to the much-beloved lyrics.”

And speaking of wine, Red Room hosted a much less family friendly event July 16: the second season premiere of The Evil Wine Show, a locally produced sketch comedy and talk show with hosts Wes Malvini and Dustin Jones.

“For this episode, the theme was sex. Comedy sketches featured a fashion show that ended with the hosts going to a playground called Pedophiles, and a fantastic satire of a ’50s educational film, in which Malvini and Jones poke and prod two named people with pool cues as a bone dry voiceover explains the various functions of the body without a shred of accuracy,” noted BW’s Josh Gross.

New episodes of The Evil Wine Show screen Mondays at Red Room. For more info, visit evilwine.com.

NOISE

BUNKER BEATS

A PLAYLIST FOR THE APOCALYPSE ANDREW CRISP | ILLUSTRATION BY ADAM ROSENLUND

SONGS FROM BOISE BANDS WHO WE’D SCOOP UP BEFORE RUNNING TO THE HILLS TO ESCAPE THE FLAMING METEORS IF ONLY TO DRINK WITH THEM AND ASK FOR ONE LAST SHOW:

SONGS TO SET THE MOOD IN THE BUNKER. LIGHT THE WORLD’S REMAINING TEA CANDLES AND TOSS A RED CLOTH OVER EVERY LAMP. THE EARTH ISN’T GOING TO REPOPULATE ITSELF:

1. “THINGS FALL APART” BY BUILT TO SPILL “Came into the darkness from out of the blue / I don’t know much but I know what to do,” sings Doug Martsch, in this song about heartbreak. The theme of love lost may be something to relate to as your loved ones begin to disappear.

1. “THICKFREAKNESS” BY THE BLACK KEYS The title track of an industrial, analog album with album art is as suggestive as its lyrics: “Hold me / love me / in your heart and I’ll hold you near / and I’ll whisper in your ear.”

2. “WAKE (KEEP THIS TOWN ALIVE)” BY FINN RIGGINS Or, in this case, keep this shantytown alive.

3. “PSYCHOCILLIN ROBOBOOGIE” BY ATOMIC MAMA “I’ve got dusty boots and a red bandanna,” sings Jake Warnock, inspiring images of a dystopian American West filled with gunslingers and zombies.

4. “WE ARE ALONE” BY OWLRIGHT This layered jam by dance-party vets Owlright should get you gyrating on a makeshift stage made of bean cans.

2. “PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH” BY BARRY WHITE White sings about how foreplay blows his mind in a brassy baritone. ’Nuff said.

3. “LOVE AND SOME VERSES” BY IRON AND WINE Sam Beam’s breathy vocals on Our Endless Numbered Days will forever set hearts aflutter.

4. “IN THE AEROPLANE OVER THE SEA” BY NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL This less-than-perfect love affair has mentions of ashes in the air.

5. “I WAS A LOVER” BY TV ON THE RADIO Bass-heavy beats, falsetto voices and electronic diddling.

5. “COME ON AND DIG A HOLE” BY HILLFOLK NOIR Not only is the chanted refrain a smart move when the apocalypse is nigh, but the haunting percussion and whispery vocals help set a more serious tone.

24 | JULY 18–24, 2012 | BOISEweekly

WWW. B O I S E WE E KLY. C O M

NOISE OLDIES WORTH PLAYING ON THAT VINTAGE RECORD PLAYER YOU MANAGED TO SNAG AFTER SOCIETY BEGAN ITS COLLAPSE: 1. “A HARD RAIN’S A-GONNA FALL” BY BOB DYLAN In this case, it’s fiery, burning rain, and the droplets are napalm, not water.

2. “TWO SUNS IN THE SUNSET” BY PINK FLOYD These guys wrote music like the world was ending, and this song reads like a soundtrack to the apocalypse.

3. “WHEN THE MUSIC’S OVER” BY THE DOORS “When the music’s over / turn out the lights,” warbles Jim Morrison. Good advice, lest your gasoline-powered generator charging your iPod runs dry.

4. “BAD MOON RISING” BY CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL If there are zombies ambling about, chances are werewolves are on the way.

LINE YOUR SUBTERRANEAN CHATEAU WITH CHAMPAGNE BOTTLES, THEN UPGRADE THOSE DIM, COLD WAR-ERA BULBS WITH FLICKERING NEON LIGHTS AND INSTALL A SURROUND SOUND SYSTEM TO LISTEN TO THESE TRACKS: 1. “UTOPIA/DYSTOPIA (THE EARTH IS ON FIRE)” BY YACHT Wait for the sun to go down to shake it to this poppy dance duo’s futuristic beats.

2. “1999” BY PRINCE Prior to the Y2K scare in 2000, Prince released this admonishment to dance until the sun explodes.

3. “2012 (IT AIN’T THE END)” BY JAY SEAN AND NICKI MINAJ Modern radio artists on heavy radio rotation couldn’t resist an irreverent excuse to party.

“Turn It Up / Mash it up / We gonna party like / party like it’s the end of the world” Sean croons.

4. “MEDICINE” BY STARFUCKER This track is filled with lines like “Sorry, so helpless” and repeated admonishments to “take your medicine.” In this case, perhaps “medicine” means cyanide capsules.

SONGS FOR SEARCHING THE LANDSCAPE FOR A LEADER, SHEPHERDING YOUR NEWFOUND FLOCK OR SEARCHING OUT A LAND UNBLEMISHED BY RADIATION: 1. “I’LL NEVER GET OUT OF THIS WORLD ALIVE” BY HANK WILLIAMS No matter how Williams struggles and strives, there’s no escaping inevitability.

2. “MY COMPANJERA” BY GOGOL BORDELLO These Gypsy punks have been making wandering-minstrel music for years. Check their costumes for ideas on how to refashion found materials from the rubble.

3. “DESERT SEARCH FOR TECHNO ALLAH” BY MR. BUNGLE Because Techno Allah will undoubtedly save us all from radiation.

4. “3 INCH HORSES, TWO FACED MONSTER” BY MODEST MOUSE The sounds of found instruments, including clanging pans and the screechy radio serial quality of Isaac Brock’s vocals, invoke images of a wandering family band.

THE SWEETER SIDE OF A SLATE WIPED CLEAN. AFTER THE WORLD IS SCORCHED, THINGS ARE BOUND TO BLOOM ONCE MORE: 1. “YAWNY AT THE APOCALYPSE” BY ANDREW BIRD Birdsong crops up on this indie track, which could be used to search out remaining wildlife.

2. “WE WILL BECOME SILHOUETTES” BY THE POSTAL SERVICE A song for finding a friend to scour the planet with. Avoid thinking about allusions to Pompeii’s frozen shadows.

3. “STARALFUR” BY SIGUR ROS While the language isn’t one we know well, the message of remembrance sent by strings and flowery chanting rings true all the same.

4. “I’M ONLY SLEEPING” BY THE BEATLES Because the Earth, like the sleepy-eyed Fab Four, will rouse once more.

BEAT CONNECTION, JULY 19, REEF Electronica, by its nebulous nature, is a genre ripe for constant reinvention. And Beat Connection’s avant-garde sounds are blazing a new synth-strewn path. The band will make its way to Boise’s Reef Thursday, July 19, with Vancouver, British Columbia, band Teen Daze and Los Angeles’ White Arrows in tow.

The quartet organizes a cadre of computers, synthesizers, guitars and drums to mesh both digital and analog elements seamlessly. Originally hailing from Seattle, the band released its first EP, Surf Noir, in 2011. On June 19, Beat Connection dropped a full-length release, The Palace Garden, and launched a national tour.

Unlike the majority of the band’s dancey, electro-pop contemporaries, Beat Connection peppers its jams with catchy vocals. Tracks like “Saola” prove the group’s ability to create songs good for both sing-a-longs and ass-shake-a-thons.

EMMYLOU HARRIS, JULY 21, EAGLE RIVER PAVILION Emmylou Harris is getting old. That’s not to say she writes bad music, that she’s unattractive or that her musical career is nearing its end. In fact, she will release her 24th studio album next year. But there comes a point in every long and fabled career when the past deserves reflection.

Just listen to the first track, “The Road,” on her 2011 album, Hard Bargain, a song about Harris’ mentor and the hugely influential songwriter Gram Parsons. The song is also an expression of the insight that there’s likely more road behind Harris than there is before her, and it’s the driving force behind the album, in which shards of introspection shimmer against the backdrop of Harris’ social consciousness.

“My real heart at this point in my life is animal rescue,” Harris said. “It’s really become a second career for me.”

DVD/SCREEN A FEW GOOD DVDS TO PREPARE YOU FOR THE PENDING APOCALYPSE:

SCREEN/THE BIG SCREEN

1. A BOY AND HIS DOG A 1975 cult classic about … a boy and his dog.

2. ON THE BEACH Anti-war movie from 1959 about a submarine looking for nuclear survivors.

3. THE BOOK OF ELI One of Denzel Washington’s best.

END-OF-THE-WORLD FLICKS HOLLYWOOD DELIGHTS IN DEPICTING THE END OF DAYS GEORGE PRENTICE | ILLUSTRATION BY ADAM ROSENLUND

4. THE RAPTURE A consideration of zombies and the Bible from 1991.

5. INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (1978) The remake is more visceral than the 1956 original.

Cataclysm has been really, really good for Hollywood. Perhaps no other genre consistently pulls in moviegoers anxious to watch global annihilation while polishing off a large soda.

Moviedom’s biggest stars have cut their teeth on trying to save the world. Bruce Willis brushed a giant meteor away from Earth’s orbit in Armageddon, Will Smith told aliens to suck it in Independence Day, and Mel Gibson taught us to be afraid, very afraid, of crop circles in Signs.

But perhaps no actor has had greater success with end-of-days themes than Charlton Heston.

String together Heston’s apocalyptic resume and you have a pretty depressing film festival: The Omega Man, Soylent Green, Solar Crisis and the holy grail of kitschy sci-fi, Planet of the Apes. I vividly recall the ridiculous delight of watching Heston’s sinewy snarl.

“Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape,” a half-naked Heston told

28 | JULY 18–24, 2012 | BOISEweekly

his simian captors.

I promise you that sitting in a 1968 movie palace watching the pre-CGI classic was mindblowing. When Heston pounded his fists into the sand, recognizing that mankind had blown itself off its own planet and yielded to an ape conquest, audiences were astonished. No less than four sequels, two television series and two rather successful 21st century reboots were inspired by the original conceit.

Behind the lens, no other director has fetishized our demise more than Roland Emmerich, who takes particular glee and massive amounts of studio money to dream up new ways to kill us all. Some are rather terrible— Godzilla, Eight Legged Freaks, Universal Soldier—while others are just in extremely bad taste—2012, The Day After Tomorrow.

Of the scores of films that consider the possibility of our demise, we can generally divide

them into two camps: those that take themselves way too seriously and those that gleefully embrace a universe without universal order.

Of the latter, the top of the apocalyptic heap belongs to Dr. Strangelove, Stanley Kubrick’s so-true-that-it’s-achingly-funny examination of our nuclear age. There are plenty more of its ilk: 12 Monkeys, Night of the Comet and Shaun of the Dead, to name a few.

And the former offers some of the best movies of any genre: 28 Days Later, Children of Men, The Road Warrior, I Am Legend and Dawn of the Dead (the 2004 remake).

Unfortunately, this summer’s most-recent effort, Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, starring Steve Carell and Keira Knightley, is a ghastly flop. Not knowing whether to be funny or sweet, the film is neither, and I couldn’t wait for the movie, and the characters’ lives, to end.

REC

SURVIVING THE APOCALYPSE

IF YOU’RE NOT ALREADY A HUNTER OR CAMPER, TAKE NOTES RANDY KING | ILLUSTRATION BY ADAM ROSENLUND

SHOOT A MOVING TARGET If zombies didn’t move then we would have nothing to worry about. Unfortunately, they are going to chase down all survivors and try and eat their brains. The trick is going to be shooting them while they are on the run. Use the biggest caliber that you can—the caliber determines how much blood gets out and the amount of air that gets in. The combination makes for fatal shots.

TIP 1: Sustain the lead on the zombie. Assuming the zombie is going 10 mph, shoot about 6 inches in front of the zombie for every 50 yards with a riffle. If you’re using a shotgun, don’t shoot the zombie until it is within 50 yards and figure 1 foot of lead.

TIP 2: Keep on swinging. The concept is to keep the gun moving even after the trigger is pulled. Stopping the movement will cause the lead to lessen.

TIP 3: Keep on shooting. Shoot like the lives of you and your family depend on it. Because if you’re shooting at a zombie, they probably do. Double tap.

BE A NOMAD You might be forced out of the house or the apocalypse might come while you’re stuck in traffic. Any way it happens, you might end up a nomad. A solitary person looks like fresh meat to zombies and a resource to others.

TIP 1: Poop like a cat. A nice pile and some TP might as well be a signal flare for evil-doing bandits looking for nomads. Instead, when you poop, dig a small hole, defecate in it,

30 | JULY 18–24, 2012 | BOISEweekly

then stir it up with a stick mixing in dirt.

Toss the paper on the top and cover with an ample amount of soil. Cover it with brush and leaves in a natural fashion.

to make them earn what they get, right?

Spiders, hot oil, fall traps, sticky films and poison will await anyone who comes into my house uninvited.

TIP 2: Camp like a ghost. Avoid soft surfaces, like anything within a few hundred feet of water as a campsite. Mud or soft surfaces will show where you camped. Don’t make a fire ring—they’re too easy to spot. Use natural tree cover and deep shaded locations for a campsite. Make sure you can’t see the camp from any of the nearby trails or roads.

TIP 3: Dig in. Have a basement? Great. It is the most secure spot in the whole house. If not, then you should make one.

Below-ground spaces are the most-easily defended. Another benefit of a basement is that the ground is typically cooler under the house, which is a great thing when it’s summertime and the livin’ ain’t easy.

TIP 3: Have good boots. Your feet are your primary form of transportation. Use them wisely and respect them. Getting a hold of a good pair of boots with ankle support is imperative. Good boots can make the 20 miles a day you have to hike to avoid the Thunderdome all the more bearable.

TIP 4: Get the hell out. A single-story family house is just about the worst thing that a person can try and defend. No matter how good the defenses are, one match can have everyone in the place scattering out like coughing lab monkeys. Figure out a better, more-defensible location. If you can move out of your house, do so.

FORTIFY YOUR HOUSE The end of the world is probably going to happen when you are in one of two places: at home or work. Work buildings vary too much for useful insights but most houses have a few things that can work to your advantage.

TIP 1: Mark your house as condemned. This is a cool trick as long as you don’t see others doing it, too. Camo your house to look like no one is home. Board it up and wrap it in tape. Shit, throw a foreclosure sign on the front door. Just don’t burn the wood stove and stay away from the windows.

TIP 2: Watch the movie Home Alone. Let’s say the invaders make it to your place. You want

BUILD A SIGNAL FIRE How is it that you are the last person left alive on Earth? Well, you probably aren’t. It is more likely that you are so isolated that it just feels that way. The next trick is alerting others that you are still alive. Signal fires are a great way to do that.

TIP 1: Have the materials for a fire ready before you need them. Nothing says heartache like watching a low-flying plane and not being able to get its attention.

TIP 2: Burn tires. Since not many people will be left on Earth, it’ll be OK to burn as many as you like.

Tires make black acrid smoke that can be seen for miles.

TIP 3: If you are feeling crafty, use gas or diesel to burn SOS into the parking lots of your favorite grocery stores.

SURVIVE A BREAKDOWN OF THE GLOBAL FOOD CHAIN What kind of society are we left with when the stores run out of food? Do we turn into a commune and share? Probably not. Most likely, we start stealing from others and create clanbased survival systems. Those who own the most guns typically end up on the top of the food chain. What can you do?

TIP 1: Learn to scavenge the natural world. All around us is food. The vacant lot across the way can hold more nutrients than you would imagine. Dandelions make spinach look like a Twinkie. To better prepare for this catastrophe, it is good to know how to get food from the fat of the land.

TIP 2: Stockpile seeds. It might seem odd but seeds, sprouted, can be incredibly nutritious. While they might be low in calories, they have large amounts of the vitamins, amino acids, proteins and fiber that we need to stay healthy.

TIP 3: Potable water is the most important

thing people need. Stockpile it or devise a way to get clean water from the world around you. A well is a good option, as long as you control it. Rain collection helps. Make sure your water is sanitary with iodine or a quality water filter.

FOOD

APOCALYPSE CHOW

A GUIDE TO GRUBBING DOWN UNDERGROUND TARA MORGAN | ILLUSTRATION BY ADAM ROSENLUND After the grocery stores have been stormed and their aisles emptied of Hungry Man TV dinners and beer, your post-apocalyptic grocery cart will be as barren as the flame-charred landscape. That is, unless you’re prepared.

As any prepper worth his or her dried beans will tell you, it’s imperative to have a supply of well preserved food at your disposal when the current world order comes crumbling down around your Don’t Tread on Me novelty socks.

HOW MUCH FOOD SHOULD YOU HAVE STORED? According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s ready.gov, they recommend people “store at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food,” including “canned foods, dry mixes and other staples that do not require refrigeration, cooking, water or special preparation.”

But The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints recommends hoarding a larger load—at least a three-month food supply, supplemented by longer-term supply items like grains and beans that have low moisture content. It recommends storing 25 pounds of wheat, white rice, corn and other grains per adult per month, along with 5 pounds of dried beans.

WHAT FOOD PRESERVATION METHODS ARE BEST? In times of turmoil, when zombies are picking bits of fresh brain from their yellowed teeth outside your barred basement window, many survivalists suggest having a stock of hasslefree, comforting foods on hand.

CANS: The most common, ready-to-eat items that line bunker pantry shelves are canned foods—everything from corn and green beans to SpaghettiO’s and Dinty Moore beef stew. In addition to filling your gut, canned veggies also have the added benefit of coming packed in water—a hot commodity when your taps sputter dry. Just be sure to snag the low-sodium varieties so that refreshing glass of bean water doesn’t make you more parched.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, canned meat and poultry are shelf stable in the pantry for two to five years after purchase, while the National Center for Home Food Preservation notes that home-canned goods that are “stored in a cool, dry place will retain optimum eating quality for at least one year.”

Prepper websites recommend stocking up on canned goods that you regularly consume so you can rotate through your supply while patiently waiting for the rise of the robots.

32 | JULY 18–24, 2012 | BOISEweekly

FREEZE-DRIED: For those who prefer their final meals in freeze-dried form, a number of companies manufacture light-weight emergency preparedness kits. Mountain House makes a 72-hour kit for one adult that comes with things like granola, scrambled eggs, beef stroganoff and chicken teriyaki for $50.60.

Wise Food Storage, on the other hand, offers a one-year supply that feeds four adults, or two adults and four children, three meals a day for $6,650.

Wise

Food meals come in pouches stored in stackable plastic tubs and include entrees like creamy pasta and vegetable rotini, cheesy lasagna and hearty tortilla soup. Just dump the powdery dust into a few cups of boiling water and voila, instant food-flavored mush.

An instructional video at wisefoodstorage.com notes that the empty tubs can also “serve several other purposes, such as digging, carrying of water or disposing of waste.”

DRIED GOODS: Most prepper pantries are also piled high with mounds of dried foods like grains and beans. Though beans require a bit of planning—it’s recommended that you soak them in three times their volume of cold water for six hours before cooking—they are a much

cheaper alternative. Grains like wheat berries, couscous and rice are also good to have on hand, but don’t forget to stash a sturdy handgrinder in your bunker if you plan to make flour.

WHAT ABOUT FRESH VEGGIES? After a month of forking down mushy beans and cold Chef Boyardee ravioli from a can, you’ll probably be ready for a fresh salad. But if the world outside your bunker went up in a fiery ball of radiation, you’ll be SOL in the garden department. While you could potentially run grow lights off a generator, that might not be the best use of your limited power supply. Enter: seed sprouting, which doesn’t require sunlight.

According to survivetheapocalypse.net, “If you can rinse your mini crop twice daily, and the temperature is human habitable, you can have fresh, nutrient-dense sprouts in as little as three to five days.”

You can grow mung, lentil, barley, pea, garbanzo and tons of other sprouts, using only a hemp cloth bag. Simply fill the bag half full with seeds and rinse with cool water for approximately 30 seconds then close the drawstring and hang the bag to drain.

“Most seeds will only need to be rinsed twice daily, but depending on the temperature, the weave of the hemp bag used, and the environmental humidity of your area, you may have to rinse more,” writes survivetheapocalypse.net.

Once the sprouts are 1-inch or so long, you can start eating them.

If you have access to a window, but can’t leave your house due to the roving gangs of shit-talking bears wearing jetpacks, there is another option for fresh veggies: window gardens.

According to an article on npr.org: “The simplest window farm system is a column of upside-down water bottles connected to one another. Plants grow out of holes cut into the sides. An air pump is used to circulate liquid nutrients that trickle down from the top of the column and make their way to the plant roots.”

Window farms can grow things like strawberries, cherry tomatoes, herbs, lettuces and peppers, but not root vegetables like carrots.

WHAT NUTRIENTS DO YOU NEED TO SURVIVE? So, now that you have a stockpile of grub crammed in your basement—and a secret stash hidden under the floorboards just in case your bunker is pillaged by unprepped pirates—here are a few food-relat- 33 ed ailments to look out for: WWW. B O I S E WE E KLY. C O M

FOOD BEER GUZZLER/FOOD

OSTEOMALACIA/RICKETS: A calcium or vitamin D deficiency can cause osteomalacia in adults and rickets in children. Calcium helps build strong bones and vitamin D helps to absorb calcium.

Rickets causes bowed legs, while osteomalacia causes softened bones.

Calcium is abundant in dairy products, dark green veggies, seeds, nuts and soy. Vitamin D can be found in fortified milk and fish liver oils or synthesized from the sun.

THE THREE BEERS OF THE APOCALYPSE If one interpretation of the Mayan calendar is right, Earth’s days are numbered. And if that’s the case, with apologies to the Book of Revelations, I’m going out with bottles of brew rather than horsemen, where breaking the seal leads to a pleasurable experience rather than pestilence, famine and death.

Here are a few choices on the apocalyptic theme.

UNIBROUE LA FIN DU MONDE If there’s a better Canadian beer than this Quebec-brewed, Belgian-style Tripel, I’ve yet to taste it. A cloudy light straw in the glass with a thick, foamy head that collapses slowly, this beer offers a touch of clove and pepper on the fruit-laden nose. The palate is a delightfully complex mix of flavors, including mango, creamy malt, clove and white pepper, finishing with a refreshing citrus tang. The name translates from French as “the end of the world,” and it’s a world-class brew for the end of days.

SHOCK TOP BELGIAN WHITE This entry from Anheuser-Busch is an effervescent pour that’s a hazy gold with an egg-white head that fades quickly.

The aromas are reserved, but you do get some appealing grain backed by touches of spice and citrus. It’s light but pleasant on the palate with a nice tartness that turns creamy. The Shock Top website features a countdown to the end of the world, and this pick definitely beats a bottle of Bud Light as the final day approaches.

10 BARREL BREWING APOCALYPSE IPA A thick and clingy froth tops this orange-tinged, yellow brew.

The hop-driven aromas are a mix of pine and citrus with a light, herbal touch. It’s a lively mix of sweet malt and bitter hops on the palate. In this well-balanced ale, hints of grapefruit and orange come through on the clean finish. Locally, the impending apocalypse will be a little easier to swallow once this Bend, Ore.-based brewery expands to downtown Boise.

SCURVY: As seafaring rascals of yore 32 will warn you, scurvy comes from a vitamin C deficiency. Symptoms include lethargy, depression, spot formation on the skin, gum disease, jaundice, fever, neuropathy and, ultimately, death.

Vitamin C can be found in citrus fruits, tomatoes, potatoes, strawberries and broccoli.

ANEMIA: Anemia is caused by iron deficiency, which decreases the amount of red blood cells that provide oxygen to body tissues. Anemia leads to weakness, tiredness, pallor, shortness of breath and jaundice. Iron can be readily found in meat, seafood, dark greens, broccoli, eggs, enriched flour products and dried beans.

BERIBERI: Beriberi is caused by a thiamine, or vitamin B1 deficiency.

Wet beriberi affects the cardiovascular system, whereas dry beriberi affects the nervous system.

Symptoms include severe lethargy and fatigue, along with cardiovascular, nervous, muscular and gastrointestinal complications. Thiamine can be found in yeast, pork, dried beans, oatmeal, flax seeds, sunflower seeds, brown rice and whole grain rye.

PELLAGRA: Pellagra is caused by a niacin, or vitamin B3 deficiency.

Symptoms include diarrhea, dermatitis and dementia. Niacin can be readily found in chicken, halibut, beef and shitake mushrooms.

BOISEweekly C L A S S I F I E D S | JULY 18–24, 2012 | 37

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Acro-yoga is a relatively new physical discipline. According to a description I read on a flier in Santa Cruz, Calif., it “blends the spiritual wisdom of yoga, the loving kindness of massage and the dynamic power of acrobatics.” I’d love to see you work on creating a comparable hybrid in the coming months, Aries—some practice or approach that would allow you to weave your various specialties into a synergetic whole. Start brainstorming about that impossible dream now and soon it won’t seem so impossible.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Unless you grow your own or buy the heirloom variety at farmers markets, you probably eat a lot of tasteless tomatoes. Blame it on industrial-scale farming and supermarket chains. They’ve bred tomatoes to be homogenous and bland—easy to ship and pretty to look at. But there’s a sign of hope: A team of scientists at the University of Florida is researching what makes tomatoes taste delicious and is working to bring those types back into mainstream availability. I think the task you have ahead of you in the coming weeks is metaphorically similar, Taurus. You should see what you can do to restore lost flavor, color and soulfulness. Opt for earthy idiosyncrasies over fake and boring perfection.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It’ll be a humming, murmuring, whispering kind of week—a time when the clues you need will most likely arrive via ripplings and rustlings and whirrings. Here’s the complication: Some of the people around you may be more attracted to clangs and bangs and jangles. They may imagine that the only information worth paying attention to is the stuff that’s loudest and strongest. But I hope you won’t be seduced by their attitudes. I trust you’ll resist the appeals of the showy noise.

Be a subtlety specialist who loves nuance and undertones. Listen mysteriously.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Most change is slow and incremental.

The shifts happen so gradually that they are barely noticeable while you’re living in the midst of them. Then there are those rare times when the way everything fits together mutates quickly.

Relationships that have been evolving in slow motion begin to speed up. Long-standing fixations melt away. Mystifying questions get clear answers. I think you’re at one of these junctures now, Cancerian. It’s not likely you’ll be too surprised by anything that happens, though. That’s because you’ve been tracking the energetic buildup for a while, and it will feel right and natural when the rapid ripening kicks in.

38 | JULY 18–24, 2012 | BOISEweekly

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Lately, you’ve been spending time in both the off-kilter parts of paradise and the enchanting areas of limbo. On one notable occasion, you even managed to be in both places. How’d you do that?

The results have been colorful but often paradoxical. What you don’t want and what you do want have gotten a bit mixed up. You have had to paw your way out of a dead-end confusion but have also been granted a sublime breakthrough. You explored a tunnel to nowhere but also visited a thrilling vista that provided you with some medicinal excitement.

What will you do for an encore?

Hopefully nothing that complicated. I suggest you spend the next few days chilling out and taking inventory of all that’s changed.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The painter Philip Guston loved to express himself creatively. He said it helped him to get rid of his certainty, to divest himself of what he knew. By washing away the backlog of old ideas, he freed himself to see the world as new. In light of your astrological omens, Virgo, Guston’s approach sounds like a good strategy.

The next couple of weeks will be an excellent time to explore the pleasures of unlearning and deprogramming. You will thrive by discarding stale preconceptions, loosening the past’s hold on you, and clearing out room in your brain for fresh imaginings.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Charles Dickens wrote about harsh social conditions. He specialized in depicting ugly realities about poverty, crime and classism. Yet one critic described him as a “genial and loving humorist” who showed that “even in dealing with the darkest scenes and the most-degraded characters, genius could still be clean and mirth could be innocent.” I’m thinking that Dickens might be an inspirational role model for you in the coming weeks, Libra. It will be prime time for you to expose difficult truths, agitate for justice and speak up on behalf of those less fortunate. You’ll get the best results by maintaining your equanimity and good cheer.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): For many years, ambergris was used as a prime ingredient in perfumes. And where does ambergris come from? It’s basically whale vomit. Sperm whales produce it in their gastrointestinal tracts to protect them from the sharp beaks of giant squid they’ve eaten, then spew it out of their mouths. With that as your model, Scorpio, I challenge you to convert an inelegant aspect of your life into a fine asset, even a beautiful blessing. I don’t expect you to accomplish this task overnight, but I do hope you will finish

by May 2013.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Interruption” will be a word of power for you in the coming days. No, really: I’m not being ironic, sarcastic or satirical. It is possible that the interruptions will initially seem inconvenient or undesirable, but I bet you will eventually feel grateful for their intervention. They will knock you out of grooves you need to be knocked out of. They will compel you to pay attention to clues you’ve been neglecting. Don’t think of them as random acts of cosmic whimsy, but rather as divine strokes of luck that are meant to redirect your energy to where it should be.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You don’t have to stand in a provocative pose to be sexy. You don’t have to lick your lips or radiate a smoldering gaze or wear clothes that dramatically reveal your body’s most-appealing qualities. You already know all that stuff, of course; in light of this week’s assignment, I just wanted to remind you. And what is that assignment? To be profoundly attractive and alluring without being obvious about it. With that as your strategy, you’ll draw the exact blessings and benefits you need to you. So do you have any brilliant notions about how to proceed? Here’s one idea: Be utterly at peace with who you really are.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I brazenly predict, my dear Aquarius, that in the next 10 months, you will fall in love with love more deeply than you have in more than a decade. You will figure out a way to exorcise the demons that have haunted your relationship with romance, and you will enjoy some highly entertaining amorous interludes. The mysteries of intimacy will reveal new secrets to you and you will have good reasons to redefine the meaning of “fun.” Is there any way these prophecies of mine could possibly fail to materialize? Yes, but only if you take yourself too seriously and insist on remaining attached to the old days and old ways.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Be alert for fake magic and make yourself immune to its seductive appeal. Do not, under any circumstances, allow yourself to get snookered by sexy delusions, enticing hoaxes or clever mirages.

There will in fact be some real magic materializing in your vicinity, and if you hope to recognize it, you must not be distracted by the counterfeit stuff. This is a demanding assignment, Pisces.

You will have to be both skeptical and curious, tough-minded and innocently receptive. Fortunately, the astrological omens suggest you now have an enhanced capacity to live on that edge.
