NOTE BW GOT BACK Each of our readers takes a different tack when dissecting Boise Weekly. News hounds linger over the first few pages, music nerds thumb through the Guide and crossword junkies cut straight to the back. Well, now there are a few more reasons—in addition to anthropomorphized cats, astrological prophecies and ripple-chested men—to scan BW Classifieds.

In our Jan. 9 issue, artist Elijah Jensen-Lindsey resurrected his popular cartoon Hobo Jargon. Whether it’s a dude talking about “triumphant pubic hair” or a bearded man looking for a “less boastful leotard,” Jensen-Lindsey pens hilarious asides for both his hirsute and clean-shaven characters.

In other new comic news, this week’s paper includes the first installment of Garry Trudeau’s long-running syndicated national comic, Doonesbury. For more than 40 years, Trudeau has made his name penning timely political and social commentary. We’ll publish the Sunday edition of Doonesbury each Wednesday in 8 Days Out and post Trudeau’s five other weekly installments online at doonesbury.boiseweekly.com.

But it’s not all chuckles this week. We’re also launching Rest of the Best, a competition that takes up where BW’s Best of Boise leaves off. Each year after BOB hits the stands, we are flooded with calls from local florists, carpet cleaners, glass blowers and others wondering why we don’t have a category honoring their trade. Rest of the Best is a way to give some love to businesses not on the BOB ballot.

Beginning this week, you can vote under the category Recovery Starts Here, which includes Boise’s best bail bondsman, DUI attorneys and loan shops. Just head to boiseweekly. com and look for the Rest of the Best button. Results will be printed each week in the Classifieds section. Upcoming categories include ski season, Valentine’s Day and wedding planning.

For more info, check out the ad on Page 31.

But enough about the back of the paper, here’s what’s front-and-center in our world this week: The main News feature on Page 8 looks at how Boise’s homeless population is using free Internet access at the public library to have a voice, the Noise feature on Page 19 trails Ketchum cowboys Old Death Whisper and the Arts feature on Page 22 delves into Shakespearean heroines, kung-fu and the undead.

SAFE SLEDDING I witnessed and captured on film that terrible accident that happened at Simplot Hill Jan. 12. On Jan. 13, a friend and I went back to the hill with banners and caution ribbon, and an edited version of the terrible video. We were, and still are, intent on changing the safety standards (or lack thereof) at Simplot Hill. We were amazed at how many people read the banners and turned around, but at some point, we were overrun and people began re-creating the conditions that led to the young boy being run over.

The news crew from KTVB showed up and recorded me talking about what had happened the day before and what we were trying to accomplish with the banners. I gave them a copy of the edited video and they included that in their 10 p.m. broadcast. However, they completely edited out the main points I was trying to get across: First, that I’m not trying get the hill shut down forever. Next, that there are simple and affordable solutions to make that hill so much safer, and finally that some parents don’t realize that kids freeze up when they are going too fast and need to be taught the “bail-out rule.”

They posted the video and the story on their website and Facebook page and it blew up with primarily negative comments about

S U B M I T

the whole thing. Everyone thought I’m an asshole or ego-maniac, or I want bigbrother government to step in and control the situation. People made ignorant comments like: next he’ll be wanting to shut down the Boise River or wrap everyone and everything in bubble wrap.

The ironic thing is I love sledding, I love adventure and danger, and I like to stand up for people’s rights to do what they want to.

But witnessing that firsthand and knowing that this has been going on year after year after year with authorities, media and the general public alike all saying, “yep, this happens all the time, these damn parents need to take more responsibility for themselves.”

How about spreading that responsibility both ways? While the sign does say “Enter and sled at your own risk,” it also says “we maintain the authority to revoke the use of this property.” Why can’t they invoke that right and shut it down long enough for some simple safety measures to be implemented? I feel by saying “enter and sled,” they are by all rights inviting these people into a very dangerous situation under the pretense that this is good family fun. Ski resorts also have “enter and ski at your own risk” disclosures, however, they have personnel and safety fences

and medics and people patrolling skiers’ speeds, and above all else, a safe, gradual landing zone where you can come to a stop.

Simplot Hill has none of this, and yet they invite people onto this property anyways, fully knowing year after year there are life-threatening accidents happening there.

This accident—and I’m sure so many others in years past—could have been prevented if there was a no parking zone at the base of the main slope. This way, there would be a clear line of sight. There is also the option of putting up hay bails in the winter to stop people who have gotten out of control.

It’s too late to close the barn door. There are almost as many guns as people in America. Unless you intend to institute house to house searches and confiscation, any of the incremental control proposals will be like bailing with a thimble to control a flood.

OPINION/BILL COPE

MORE FORE TALES Nostril Bill prognosticates It has been two years since Nostril Bill issued any prophesies. He cannot recall why he had no predictions for 2012, but no one knows better than him that visions of the future are much like cold sores: Sometimes ya’ got ‘em, sometimes ya’ don’t.

This year, he got ‘em, by golly. (Visions of the future, that is. Not cold sores.) He started having them way last fall but with the election coming up and the fiscal cliff and one damned thing after another, he is just now getting around to relating them.

For instance, as early as Halloween, he could foretell that during the earliest days of 2013, our jolly veep, Joe Biden, would grab Sen. Mitch McConnell by the wattle and not let go until the bug-eyed Senate minority leader agreed to a tax increase on rich people.

But poor Nostril had no opportunity to pass it on until after it had happened, and there is no task more thankless than passing on a prophesy to the public two weeks after it has already come true. This is why Nostril Bill will not include (what will become known as) “Wattle-Gate” in the following list of visions … which he predicts will start immediately following the completion of this sentence. Like ... now.

JAN. 17: Republican Sen. Mike Crapo will resign his office and take a lucrative position as the legislative liaison for Five Wives Vodka.

JAN. 18: In the wake of Crapo’s resignation, Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter will appoint Sen. Jim Risch’s wife, Vicki, to the vacant seat, making the Risches the first married couple in American history to be senators at the same time.

JAN. 24: Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Luna will introduce his new reform package, “Students is our Future.”

FEB. 12: During the president’s State of the Union speech, South Carolina Republican Rep. Joe Wilson will again shout out, “You lie!” This time, Barack Obama will step confidently off the podium, walk down the aisle to Wilson, and slap the crap out of him.

MARCH 3: To counter the expanding support for more stringent laws concerning firearms, the National Rifle Association will launch a film production division, NRA Grand. Its first project will be a television comedy depicting the lighter side of having Glock-packing teachers in the classroom and Officer McWilly patrolling the halls in his snazzy neo-SWAT outfit. Following is a sample of the show’s hilarious repartee: Jimmy: “Missus Crapapple, Missus Crapapple! Sneezer Boogerhead punched me on the shoulder! It hoits so baaaaad.”

Mrs. Crapapple: “Jimmy O’Brady, I’m sick to death of you complaining all the time.

Now you sit down and shut up, or I’ll show you something with a real punch.”

Title of the new sit-com: Room .223.

APRIL 22: Celebrity chef Paula Deen will

6 | JANUARY 16–22, 2013 | BOISEweekly

premiere yet another way to shed unwanted pounds. Insisting she has unearthed a weightloss secret that goes back to the Greek citystate of Sparta, she names it Paula Deen’s Spartan Pomegranate and Pork Chop Diet.

“You don’t have to deprive yourself of anything you feel like eating, Honey” Ms. Deen will insist, “as long as you start your meal with a pomegranate and end it with a pork chop.”

MAY 1: On this day, Lindsay Lohan will not be arrested for something, making it three straight days of her not being arrested for something.

JUNE 28: A spokesman for the Mayan Anti-Defamation League (MADL) will announce that the world is really, really, really going to end on Dec. 21, 2013. He apologizes for last year’s mix-up, recalling the embarrassment his organization experienced when the 12/21/12 date turned out not to be the Day of Doom in accordance with the ancient Mayan calendar. But, as he goes on to explain, that misreckoning was the result of someone forgetting to convert the original Mayan calculations to the metric system.

“Could of happened to anyone,” he’ll shrug.

To add an extra dose of drama to the revised version of the dire prophecy, it will be arranged for the announcement to be made at precisely high noon on the summer solstice, June 21. However, due to a misreading of the “Cuddly Kittens and Pudgy Puppies” calendar in the office of MADL, the press conference is accidentally set for one whole week later than intended, demonstrating that those Mayans still have a thing or two to learn about scheduling an event.

SEPT. 3: Mitt Romney will be spotted at the Iowa State Fair pretending to enjoy a plate of biscuits and gravy.

SEPT. 4: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will be spotted at the Iowa State Fair, going through a plate of biscuits and gravy like a baleen whale goes through a cloud of krill. (Later in that same month, Christie will make public his decision to go on the Paula Deen’s Spartan Pomegranate and Pork Chop Diet. To a reporter who questions his decision, Christie will snap, “Look at those Spartans, you idiot. They had to be doing something right. You got a problem with that?”

DEC. 20: On the day before the world ends, every household in Idaho will receive a 5x7 card with a picture of Sen. Risch and Sen. Risch smooching under a sprig of mistletoe held over their heads by McConnell, hiding his still-tender wattle behind a fluffy white beard. The caption will read, “From Senators’ Little Helper to you, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.”

DEC. 21: The world will end. Many Idahoans will regret it couldn’t have happened one day sooner.

TED RALL/OPINION

MEN OF DISHONOR A Congress of 21st century cynics dodges 19th century rules People are calling the recently adjourned 112th Congress “the most dysfunctional ever” and the least productive since the infamous “do-nothing Congress” of the 1940s. But one cause for congressional gridlock has gone unnoticed and unremarked upon: We no longer have a sense of honor.

Back in the late 18th and 19th centuries, when our bicameral legislature and its rules were conceived, a gentleman’s word was his most precious asset. Integrity was literally a matter of life and death (consider the matter of Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr).

Though less than perfect, there was a lot to be said for a culture in which a person’s word was his bond, legalistic quibbling was scorned and a legislator was expected to stake out and defend a principled position, even in the face of political and personal adversity.

It’s hard to imagine the fiscal cliff showdown unfolding in the 1800s or even the first half of the 1900s for two simple reasons. The general fiscal health of the country would have come ahead of partisanship. Second, and more importantly, members of the two political parties would have stuck to the deal that they struck a decade earlier.

When George W. Bush pushed for a set of income tax cuts that primarily benefited the wealthiest Americans in 2001, he argued the standard GOP trickle-down economics.

In order to get enough Democratic support, Republicans agreed to a five-year time period, after which taxes would revert.

By 2006 there was still no evidence that the tax cuts had stimulated the economy. In fact,

WWW. B OISEWEEKLY.C O M

by many measures, things were worse. If this had been the 19th century, Republican legislators would have acknowledged that their experiment had failed. A gentleman didn’t run away from the facts or his mistakes.

Voters seemed to agree. Unhappy with the state of the economy, Americans returned Democrats to control of Congress in 2006.

Republicans had a pretty good idea that their unpopular policies were driving them toward a decisive defeat in the midterm elections. For men and women of honor, this would have been a time to reassess and back off.

Nevertheless, the GOP jammed through an extension of the 2001 Bush tax cuts for the wealthy months before the midterm election.

Here we are nearly 12 years later, and the verdict is in: The Bush tax cuts failed miserably. It’s absolutely ridiculous that President Barack Obama and the Democrats agreed to extend them for all but the richest one-half of 1 percent of Americans. But the debate should never have gotten this far. Had the Republicans who proposed it in the first place possessed an iota of good old-fashioned 19th century honor and integrity, this misbegotten legislative abortion would have died in 2006.

Robert’s Rules of Order and other quaint traditions of parliamentary procedure don’t translate to a quibbling little time like ours.

The Senate, the only house of Congress that permits a filibuster, draws upon a tradition of principled minority protest that goes back to Cato in ancient Rome.

Until the 1970s, filibusters were a 11 rarity, averaging one a year. Senators

As a matter of fact, morning commuters might even notice the approximate 10-block daily migration from downtown Boise’s homeless shelters to the downtown library.

“They’re part of our key constituents,” Kevin Booe told BW. He should know. As director of the Boise Public Library, Booe’s office is one floor away from a daily gathering of homeless men, women and children who had BRADY MOORE

Idaho’s Department of Administration was hoping for quick lawmaker approval of its new rules governing citizen access to the Statehouse and buildings throughout the Capitol Mall complex.

“Many of these guidelines have been in place for many years,” said Teresa Luna, the department’s director.

Luna spent her entire morning on Jan. 14 shuttling between the Senate State Affairs Committee and a subcommittee of the House State Affairs Committee, asking two sets of lawmakers to codify new rules outlining what’s allowed and what’s not at the Capitol and its surroundings.

But Luna was quizzed by both House and Senate members, who wanted to know how the rules were crafted and how much public participation was involved.

“During the [2012] legislative session, we worked with Occupy Boise to come up with what we thought were acceptable guidelines,” said Luna, referring to the encampment which spun off numerous Statehouse protests. “But it was met with much disdain. We didn’t feel there was any hope in coming to any sort of negotiated rule-making for this process.”

Terreton Republican Sen. Jeff Siddoway didn’t like what he heard.

“Is that legal for an agency to just not take on that responsibility?” he asked Luna.

“Yes, it is,” she responded.

Senate Majority Leader Bart Davis told Luna that he worried that another of the new rules–restricting demonstrations beyond 30 minutes after any day’s adjournment of the Legislature–might be a restriction of First Amendment rights.

“Are you limiting their free-speech protections?” asked Davis.

Luna said “no.”

Things didn’t sail through the House subcommittee either, with the majority of the legislators asking that rules be opened to a public hearing before the full committee of the House State Affairs Committee.

“I’m comfortable with the rules, but there is some concern here that constitutional rights are being stepped on,” said Lava Hot Springs Republican Rep. Ken Andrus. “It’s a good idea to have a hearing.”

Monica Hopkins, ACLU Idaho executive director, agreed, telling the House subcommittee that the new rules were onerous.

“They’re an unnecessary overreach of government,” she said.

Hopkins, and more members of the public, will have an opportunity to weigh in on the rules when the Senate committee take up the issue on Wednesday, Jan. 16.

Jimmy Moore wasn’t happy. He was upset over how he said he had been treated by a Boise nonprofit. So he went to the social network to vent some steam.

“At least I tell the truth and am willing to help those who need it and not try to destroy someone’s life to give it to them to make a name for myself,” he wrote on Nov. 8. “I will post the truth and say it the way it is. If you don’t like then get the f*** out of the kitchen.”

The Boise Public Library System provides 150 desktop computers to the public, 42 at its main branch on Capitol Boulevard. Policy limits daily access to a total of two hours.

Moore doesn’t have a kitchen, a living room or a bed for that matter, to call his own. He’s homeless.

“I’ve been trying to get back on my feet since 2005 after I fell 100 stories down an elevator shaft in Arizona. I broke my back,” he said. “I moved here hoping my family would accept me or help me out.”

But Moore has few options for respite from January’s bitter cold. He said he has been banned from Interfaith Sanctuary, the River Street homeless shelter, since 2009– and has had few kind words about the shelter ever since.

“They can kick you out and never let you back in,” he said. “You ought to read the Boise Weekly blog and you’ll know who I am and what I’m about.”

In order to share his grievances at boiseweekly.com, like scores of other men and women who don’t have a home of their own, Moore makes his way to the main branch of the Boise Public Library after the doors

already settled in to warm confines of the library, their layers of scarves and jackets stashed underneath chairs and tables. The temperature outside the building hovered near freezing on a late December afternoon.

Booe said that he had noticed an increase in the number of homeless families utilizing the library’s resources in the past five years. In addition to escaping the bitter cold, Booe said Boise’s homeless are usually anxious to secure one of 42 computers available to the public to research health issues, access job listings or communicate through social media.

The faces peeking over a “I need help” sign spotted on Boise street corners or near grocery store parking lots are, quite often, also someone’s Facebook friend. The cold and hungry huddled underneath the Boise Connector are regularly accessing Craigslist. And those needing to voice their anger, sadness or frustration to a stranger often reach out on comment sections at

boiseweekly.com.

The BW website has become a robust forum for readers to vent about homelessness and local shelters, with many comments directed toward the Interfaith Sanctuary.

“Everyone’s agreeing that sanc [sic] has turned into a Nazi prison camp,” wrote one reader under the online moniker “stadia.”

“The homeless do not have a voice with regard to the abuse they suffer in the shelter of Sanctuary night after night,” wrote another.

In fact, Heather Ellsworth, who said she stayed at Interfaith Sanctuary from September 2012 until early December 2012, showed BW a petition that current and former residents had shared regarding what they called “unfair treatment.”

“It is time for legal action for the protection of the homeless,” states the petition.

“We were ignored and thrown in the trash.”

“I don’t think they would let me in the door if they knew what we were doing,” she told BW. Jayne Sorrels, executive director of the Interfaith Sanctuary, quickly dismissed the criticism and said that the negative comments came from disgruntled former residents.

In particular, a number of the former residents took to the Internet to complain about what they claimed was a leaking roof at Interfaith Sanctuary, but Sorrels assured BW that “the roof was no longer leaking.”

“We’re first and foremost an emergency shelter that depends on community involvement,” she said.

As Sorrels spoke to BW, nearly 160 local men, women and children were checking in for the night at the sanctuary, which providing an overnight respite until 7 a.m.

And each morning, shortly after the shelter asks its temporary residents to leave for the day, more homeless gravitate to the Boise Public Library.

“They use more than just our online resources,” said Booe, but he added his staff regularly manages the computer access.

“Some do complain that the time limit is too short,” he noted.

The library’s policy limits daily access to a total of two hours, with no one-time access to last more than one hour. The library also offers additional time–at a rate of $1 per hour–for any user who needs to have more access than two hours per day.

“But we don’t really have problems with the homeless community,” said Booe.

Meanwhile, one floor away, a number of homeless men and women were accessing Facebook, Google and boiseweekly.com, some for enjoyment, some for personal grievance.

RISING TO THE CHALLENGE ‘Building is not just standing stuff up.’

ANDREW CRISP One of the Treasure Valley’s highest profile construction projects means something a little different to everyone. For some, the forthcoming 18-story skyscraper at the corner of Boise’s Eighth and Main streets is a sign the economy has pulled out of its slump. For others, it shows Boise’s confirmation and future as a real city. No matter who you are, the project is hard to miss.

Circling the skies above downtown Boise, the operator of a massive blue tower crane spends his days lifting steel girders to frame the building–rising from the pit once known as the Boise Hole. Launched by the Gardner Company of Salt Lake City, with Zion’s Bank’s Idaho headquarters as the key tenant, the building’s core stood eight stories by early January.

A year from its projected completion, the building-to-be has already inspired one Boisean, Stephen Gagnon. He’s convinced that the tower will come to define where he lives.

“I think it really shows that our city is going through some economic growth,” said Gagnon. “And that Boise itself is a great community.”

Standing at the base of the construction project in a brown hard hat, wearing a bright orange vest and with only the beginnings of his first mustache, it’s not hard to believe Gagnon is only 16 years old.

The Borah High School student was anxious to share details about his own construction project, albeit on a much smaller scale.

“I made a replica of the tower crane out of LEGOs,” Gagnon said. “Though I think most 16-year-olds probably don’t still play with LEGOs.” Gagnon dreams big: he’s equally capti-

vated with physics, singing in a barbershop quartet, playing classical piano and thinking about building the cities of tomorrow.

“It’s the beauty of how many people can function together,” Gagnon explained, “and the cool things mankind can do.”

Most teenagers don’t spend their days watching an online webcam aimed at the project to gauge its progress. But the Borah High School junior enjoys tracking the tower’s rise above the city when he’s not cramming for tests in his advanced chemistry and physics classes.

Stephen Gagnon, 16, a Borah High School junior, loves physics, music and planning cities of tomorrow.

“When the weather was warmer, we would take random trips to Downtown Boise to see it ourselves, and look at it For every ESI project, Nelson explained, So to fulfill their son’s Christmas wish, from the balcony across the street,” said his he chooses a theme to motivate workers.

KAREN ECHEVERRIA Idaho school districts face another ‘fiscal cliff’ Feb. 1 GEORGE PRENTICE

When did you change your name to Echeverria?

I was in my 40s. My mother’s family came from Spain and I wanted to take her maiden name. I was born a Robison. My name changed to Gustafson when I was married for 20 years, and then I changed it to Echeverria. I wanted to celebrate that Basque heritage.

Are your professional roots in education?

Not really. I worked in various jobs for the state, including being the assistant administrative rules coordinator for the Department of Administration. From there, I went to work for the State Board of Education as their policy and governmental affairs person, and then I made the jump to here in late October 2007.

How has your job changed since you took over ISBA? I have a way-different management style than my predecessor, Dr. [Clifford] Green.

Hierarchy never made any sense to me.

But you acknowledge that you’re the face of this organization. You’re regularly testifying before legislative committees.

I love it. It’s the favorite part of my job. I’m confident with my topic.

10 | JANUARY 16–22, 2013 | BOISEweekly

Most people would be terrified at the prospect of testifying.

I do still get some butterflies, but I like to stand up in front of committees and present the perspectives of our ISBA members.

How many members do you have?

It’s about 560; 113 of Idaho’s 115 school districts are members.

Why would the other two not join?

Mullan in North Idaho hasn’t been a member for years. I don’t have an answer why.

And then several years ago, Mountain Home dropped out. They said they couldn’t justify the dues.

How are the dues calculated?

It’s based on two measures: school population and the amount of [maintenance and operation] funds they receive from the state.

How would you characterize the ISBA’s current relationship with the Boise Independent School Board of Trustees?

There was some friction this past fall.

Has it been repaired?

The Boise School Board is not always in agreement with the majority opinion of our

JER EM Y LANNINGHAM

When Karen Echeverria tees up on the first hole of Lakeview Golf Club in Meridian, she takes the long view.

“I have a big drive,” she said. “Put me on the front tee.”

Echeverria, 57, executive director of the Idaho School Boards Association, is keeping her eye on the proverbial ball of late–not a dimpled Titleist but the education budget which is being whacked around by the 2013 Idaho Legislature.

“I think our funding system is unsustainable. We can’t keep doing the same thing, hoping it will be better or different,” she said.

In the midst of a tight schedule where she’s constantly shuttling between her 13th Street office and the State Capitol, Echeverria sat down with Boise Weekly to talk about spending, politics and her Basque heritage.

association. As executive director, how do I keep everyone in the fold? Our ultimate goal is always what’s best for the students. How we get there … well, we may not always agree on those issues.

But Boise has come very close to pulling out of the ISBA. We certainly don’t want that. I just spoke with [Boise School Board President A.J.] Balukoff and he asked about some specific training we could provide. I think the relationship with the association is always tenuous.

Let’s talk about another school board, in Nampa. They’re drowning in a $4.3 million budget shortfall based on bad accounting, and now they’re facing furloughs, transportation issues, new activity fees and a levy vote. Wasn’t poor governance at the heart of that problem?

We’ve looked at a list to see which school boards received governance training and we found school boards that we’ve seen in the news recently – Nampa, Garden Valley, Coeur d’Alene–those are the districts that haven’t had training for a while, and we offer free governance training every three years.

What’s at risk?

Textbooks, transportation, curriculum. It’s huge. When you think about it, onehalf of the state budget goes to school districts, and school board members are 11 responsible for the management. When

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

CITIZEN 10

you talk about that responsibility on their shoulders, governance is huge.

How would you best describe the state of education funding in Idaho?

One of the things the state will really have to look at is our funding formula and our supplemental levies. For instance, the Boise School District has nearly twice as much funding per student as its neighboring district in Meridian. And when you get out into our rural areas, some of them can’t even pass a supplemental levy to put a roof on a building or hire a part-time teacher.

Is it fair that Idaho public education is a system of have’s and have-nots?

Absolutely.

So what does Plan B look like?

I have no idea. Someone with a mind like [House Speaker Scott] Bedke is going to have to tackle that.

No doubt the debate over the governor’s proposal to eliminate Idaho’s personal property tax will be part of that conversation.

If business personal property tax goes away, that will be a significant cut to a lot of school districts, and they’ll probably have to turn around and increase the taxes to property owners. If they do that, those voters are going to think twice about supplemental levies to help fund education.

Do you expect proposed legislation concerning school safety to surface?

We’re not sure. They call that a sleeper. We haven’t heard of anyone who’s going to run with that legislation. If they do, obviously, we would be involved with it.

Let’s talk about last November’s voter repeal of the Students Come First initiatives.

What’s the immediate fallout from that?

I don’t think the public was aware that $30 million was left on the table, and we have to figure out what to do with that money.

We don’t want that going toward business personal property taxes. We want that to go to school districts.

Won’t that have to be determined very soon?

A series of payments go out to school districts and the next one is scheduled for Friday, Feb. 1. And right, now the check to schools will be minus some of that money because voters turned down the propositions on technology and students who want to take dual-enrollment courses. The likelihood of the Legislature passing an appropriation bill and the governor signing it is, in my opinion, slim to none.

How do you rectify that?

Maybe schools will have to wait until May 1 or maybe we try to get another payment somehow. To a school district like Meridian, that’s something like $5 million and that’s a huge cash flow.

We haven’t seen much of Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Luna since voters rejected those laws.

I don’t think we’re going to see much more of him soon. I think he’s going to lay quiet for a while. These were definitely initiatives that he wanted. Obviously, he was the face of it.

He took some hits that were unwarranted.

A generation ago, education didn’t intersect with politics as much as it does today.

It has become very political. I have grave concerns. We shouldn’t be Democrats or Republicans at the school board level. I would hate to see the level of governance at the local school board level be attacked or go away.

RALL viewed them as a nuclear option. Now, the filibuster is not only a daily routine but gets deployed in an automated way so that the Senate has effectively become a body in which nothing gets done without a 60 percent vote in favor.

Everyone in the Senate understood what filibusters were for. No one abused them. It was a matter of honor. But honor is too much to ask when even the most basic of all political considerations—ideology and party affiliation—bend like a reed in the winds of change.

The Republican governor of New Jersey and a Republican congressman from Long Island, N.Y., were so incensed by their party’s refusal to approve disaster relief funds after Hurricane Sandy that they went public with disparaging remarks about the Republican leadership in Congress. Fair enough. Standing 7

up for your constituents against rank parochial self-interest is what integrity is all about.

On the other hand, the immediate willingness of some so-called liberal Democrats to welcome Chris Christie and Peter King indicates a willingness to overlook basic principles that would have startled most self-described gentlemen of a century or two ago, much less those who’d entered public service.

Back then, of course, the American political party system wasn’t as settled as it is today, so there were mass changes of party affiliation as parties appeared, metastasized and vanished.

Still, it wasn’t acceptable behavior to change parties over a minor spat like the hurricane aid or for a party to accept members who didn’t adhere to its principles.

It’s almost enough to make you wish for a duel.

THURSDAY AND SATURDAY JAN. 17 AND JAN. 19 brando MOVIES AT THE LIBRARY AT COLE The library in Alexandria, Egypt, was endowed to collect all the knowledge in the world, but somehow, it bequeathed to posterity the false impression that libraries traffic primarily in books.

Keeping up its mission to provide access to free knowledge and culture to the public the Library at Cole and Ustick will share two films this week that offer, if not knowledge, perspective and a bit of culture.

On Thursday, Jan. 17, at 6:15 p.m., eight-time Academy Award winner On the Waterfront (NR) will play as part of the library’s Movie Discussion Group series. The 1954 film tells the story of Terry Malloy (Marlon Brando), a dockworker and former up-and-coming boxer hustled into collaborating with mob-connected union boss Johnny Friendly (Lee J. Cobb).

On Saturday, Jan. 19, at 2 p.m., the library presents The Lorax (PG), the 2012 animated feature based on the Dr. Seuss book of the same name, in its latest installment of Family Movie Matinee. In it, Ted Wiggins (voiced by Zac Efron), who lives in pre-fab town Thneedville, is on the hunt for a real tree to impress his crush, Audrey (voiced by Taylor Swift), but the search for nature leads him into cahoots with failed industrialist The Once-ler, and trouble with the mayor of Thneedville over the last Troffula tree seed.

Whether you’re on the lookout for some stunning golden age cinema or a flick to watch with the kids, the library is ready for you.

Thursday, Jan. 17, 6:15-9 p.m. FREE; Saturday, Jan. 19, 2-3:30 p.m. FREE. Library at Cole and Ustick, 7557 W. Ustick Road, 208-570-6900, boisepubliclibrary.org.

In The Souls of Black Folk, W.E.B. DuBois said that the problem of 20th century America was the problem of the color line. Then the 20th century proved him right: After years of segregation following hundreds of years of slavery, the United States began the slow process of discontinuing the legal basis for racial bias and combating racism in American culture.

The racial complexity of America in the 21st century is the topic of discussion by Richard Rodriguez, who shares themes from his book, Brown: The Last Discovery of America (2003), at the Church of the Big Wood in Ketchum as part of the Sun Valley Center for the Arts’ multidisciplinary project.

Rodriguez—a contributing editor at New America Media in San Francisco—has written for publications in the United States and abroad and has further explored issues of race, ethnicity and class in Hunger of Memory: The Education of Richard Rodriguez, Days of Obligation: An Argument with my Mexican Father, and Brown.

He won the George Foster Peabody Award in 1997 for his essays on American life on NewsHour and was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for non-fiction writing.

In Brown, Rodriguez uses the color as a metaphor for the states of being between black and white, rich and poor, and foreign and domestic. America is as much divided by these categories as it is united by the decay of the lines between them. Rodriguez is a perfect example, describing himself as a “queer Catholic Indian Spaniard at home in a temperate Chinese city in a fading blond state in a post-Protestant nation.”

BOISE’S BEST BAD DANCER 2 Not everyone is as keen on getting jiggy with it as Mr. Will Smith, but for those burdened by two left feet, there’s still hope for greatness at the second installment of Boise’s Best Bad Dancer.

With shows like So You Think You Can Dance and Dancing with the Stars filling primetime slots on television, one might wonder where the regular folks can go to show off their funky chickens.

Liquid Lounge is back in the mix this year, hosting Boise’s Best Bad Dancer 2 as chosen by a panel of judges, including Ms. Minerva Jayne, Jynx Jenkins of Idaho Dance Theatre, and the reigning bad dancing champion, Mikey Pullman.

These esteemed judges, along with those brave enough to endure the copious amounts of burning Charlestons, broken sprinkler heads and staged moonwalks will vote to crown first, second and third place, as well as the audience favorite, with the “Guaranteed to Get You Laid” Dancing Turkey Trophy.

First place will be awarded a $100 cash prize, four tickets to any winter or spring performance of Idaho Dance Theatre, and four tickets to a Friday or Saturday night comedy show at Liquid Laughs, excluding special engagements.

A five spot gets you in the door so bring your friends, family, co-workers and otherwise eligible voters to cheer you on as you inevitably embarrass yourself publicly. Sign-ups begin at 6:30 p.m. for those who want to unleash their worst moves on the public.

Little about American football can be as satisfying or as delicious as the menu of snacks served at any game night party. With the annual culmination of the NFL season just around the corner, Super Bowl XLVII on Sunday, Feb. 3, at the New Orleans Superdome, preparation for assembling one’s own feast isn’t far off, either.

But for how many Super Bowls have you found yourself forlornly pouring a bag of greasy potato chips into a bowl or microwaving a box of chicken nuggets because cooking seemed too difficult? Rather than resort to hiring Martha Stewart as a personal chef, let Woodriver Cellars chef Mike Owen show you the ropes before kickoff.

Those in search of classy Super Bowl snacks are invited to join Owen’s class Wednesday, Jan. 23, at the Eagle winery. Priced at $30 for wine club members and $35 for nonmembers, the class will take participants through the concoction of six different treats, tastes included, designed to pair with different wines offered by Woodriver Cellars.

Each dish is intended to match flavors in an accompanying wine. The menu includes shrimp cocktail with horseradish sauce, honey chipotle chicken wings, garden vegetable and cream cheese stuffed mushrooms, mini beef Wellington, grilled beef skewers—and for dessert? A chocolate and banana quesadilla.

Unlike learning to make beer-braised brats, your new cooking skills may help impress your pals but and score a touchdown of your own.

You know what it’s like. You’re getting slizzered with your pals and you want to get a dumb tattoo to send a message to your ex but your “friends” won’t let you just because you can’t stand on your own or remember your name.

So eventually, you find yourself at Los Betos with a mouth full of beans.

But somehow, you still want that dumbass tattoo.

Well, you’re in luck, because not only does the Los Betos at 5220 W. Fairview Ave. LOS BETOS 5220 W. Fairview Ave., Boise have a machine that dispenses temporary tattoos for 50 cents each, but with the exception of the guy who got the Romney logo face tattoo, they’re possibly the worst tattoos imaginable: Annoying Orange.

The machine is packed with giant, brightly colored temporary tattoos and stickers featuring the images and catchphrases of the YouTube/Cartoon Network sensation and his friends. There are all manner of fruits, vegetables and other foods anthropomorphized with the face of the series creator, Dane Boedigheimer.

And if there’s any better terrible tattoo to get than a bright red apple exclaiming, “neato burrito,” or a disgruntled pear proclaiming “I need a vacation” to show your ex who’s really the “juvenile loser that needs to get off the couch and find a job,” we don’t know about it.

Workshops & Classes A chill crowd checked out Interstate at the Broken Resolutions Ball.

SOAKING IN THE BEATS AND EATS After a few frozen weeks of lackluster musical options, Boiseans were ready to soak up the beats.

Boise Weekly freelancer Jeremiah Robert Wierenga swung by the Knitting Factory Jan. 9, for a performance by Brit rockers Keane.

“There’s an unspoken question every time you attend a concert of an artist you really admire—are they really that good live?” wondered Wierenga. “For British piano-rock band Keane, the question is whether lead singer Tom Chaplin can really hit those high notes with the clarity, precision and strength displayed on the band’s 2004 breakout debut, Hopes and Fears.”

As it turns out, he could.

“Chaplin, originally hired as an acoustic guitarist for the band, was spot-on, his rising falsetto and ringing baritone resonating over rapt concert-goers,” said Wierenga. “The Knitting Factory crowd was surprisingly companionable, swaying and singing out together.”

While no one lobbed rotten tomatoes at the Knitting Factory, some folks were warming up their throwing arms at Edwards Greenhouse Jan. 12, when the Treasure Valley Food Coalition launched its Tomato Independence Project.

The campaign to “end the tyranny of tasteless tomatoes” is a gastronomical exploration of the local tomato.

“The event showcased the variety and complexity of tomatoes in their preserved form by doling out flavorful samples of soup, goat cheese spread and bruschetta that starred robust sundried, canned and frozen heirlooms from seasons past,” explained BW freelancer Carissa Wolf.

This was the first in a series of discussions, workshops and seed swaps designed to help Treasure Valley foodies eat more locally. For more info, visit treasurevalleyfoodcoalition.org.

While some stood up for local food, others remained seated for local music at the Linen Building’s Broken Resolutions Ball Jan. 12, which featured a mixed bag of performers, including Brianne Gray, Poppa Joe, Mike Quinn and Interstate.

“Acoustic singer-songwriter Mike Quinn observed mid-opening set that he’s used to playing bars—and not used to people sitting in chairs and paying rapt attention to what’s happening on stage. It was an observation that would be repeated regularly during the evening and a phenomenon that gave the event the feeling of being an unplugged concert, rather than a ‘ball,’” observed BW staffer Harrison Berry.

But things were a little more lively Jan. 13 at Neurolux, where Los Angeles Americana band Rose’s Pawn Shop stormed the stage.

“The band’s break-(red)neck pace was reminiscent of Let’s Go-era Rancid, and it didn’t take long for the dance floor to fill up. And as long as the band kept that speed up, it stayed full,” noted BW’s Josh Gross.

Talks & Lectures

CD REVIEW/NOISE PHANTAHEX, GHOST MISSION Phantahex is part of a growing trend in Boise: improvised electronic instrumental music.

And while the multi-synth duo of Tristan Andreas and Grant Olsen has been pushing its way through the local scene in 2012, January brought the world at large the first chance to hear the group.

Ghost Mission, a 15-track collection of the band’s sketches, rehearsals and demos that was released as a purchasable download available through Bandcamp.

Chock full of chirps and rumbles, analog moans and clicks, as well as the dulcet tones of the elusive monochord—an instrument comprised of a single string extended along a 12-foot piece of steel pipe built by Andreas and played with a drumstick—Ghost Mission is a casually psychedelic journey through 1980s synthesizer fantasies and video game soundtracks.

Though less goofy than The Moog Cookbook or even Dick Hyman, Phantahex makes more deliberately artificial, occasionally corny sounds than contemporary electronic music.

The album’s fourth track, “Ophelius Trajectory,” doesn’t have drums and is primarily a slow series of modulations added to a deep bass chord. Though the two don’t sound much alike, the slow but constant modulation of a simple run of notes makes “Ophelius Trajectory” feel similar to “On the Run,” from Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon.

Another drumless track, “Warm Glow,” invites listeners to soak in a slow and winding lead nearly jittery with tremolo. Andreas and Olsen can be faintly heard in the background, giving one another instructions as clear as figures in a mist.

Songs on Ghost Mission run anywhere from one to 10 minutes. Some have definable, engaging melodies, while others are slowly evolving patterns of sound.

The bottom line is that if you likes synths and know the name Walter/Wendy Carlos, you’ll probably dig Ghost Mission.

You’ll also probably love it if you’re stoned out of your gourd.

If, however, you are not any of those things, there’s a decent chance you may find the album a slightly exhausting, potentially corny listen.

ROCK OF AGES MELTS FEW FACES AT THE MORRISON CENTER Rock of Ages wears its cheese on its sleeve. In the opening comments before the Jan. 12 evening show at the Morrison Center, a booming voice told audience members not to be “douchebags” and turn off their cellphones, and then signed off with “enjoy having your faces melted.”

But the jam-packed Morrison Center crowd—comprised of grandmas shepherding pre-teens in sequined pants and dudes in leather jackets escorting chicks with hair higher than their heels—seemed to soak in the cheese with ease.

A thick cloud of fog rolled off the stage, bathed in a purple haze and lit by flickering red neon signs made to look like Los Angeles’ Sunset Strip in the late ’80s.

Most of the musical’s characters had gathered at the dive-y Bourbon Room, owned by fringe-jacket sporting Dennis Dupree (Matt Ban). Soon, narrator Lonny, played by the overtly Jack Black-esque Justin Colombo, told the crowd, “When you’re putting on a music-al you have to introduce a freaking love story … and quick.”

And that they did. In a flash, the audience was transported “3,337 Waffle Houses away” to Kansas, where Sherrie (Shannon Mullen) was packing her bags. Against the will of her parents, Sherrie has decided to become an actress in Hollywood, where she is promptly mugged and meets long-haired aspiring rocker Drew (Danny McHugh).

Sadly, despite their shared naivety and love of cherry Slurpees, the two characters didn’t resonate—musically or romantically. Perhaps that was because McHugh is the understudy for leading man Dominique Scott. Or maybe it was because Mullen’s voice wasn’t commanding enough to carry the range of glam rock covers the show demands.

The plot for Rock of Ages continued to develop using lyrics from familiar ’80s tunes like “Anyway You Want It,” “Don’t Stop Believin’” and “Every Rose Has Its Thorn.” Backed by “We Built this City,” German father-son businessmen Hertz and Franz (who slip in and out of their terrible accents) convince the town’s corrupt mayor to let them develop the Sunset Strip.

At the same time, bickering rock band Arsenal is breaking up and playing its last show at The Bourbon Room.

But for all of the full-throttle song-and-dance numbers, glitter and cheeky sexual banter, the Morrison Center crowd seemed generally unenthused by the production. There were no rousing singalongs, and despite a wailing performance from the live band onstage, the atmosphere never took on the vibe of a rock concert. The crowd filed out of the auditorium passing the merch table without a second glance.

KEEPIN’ IT REAL Old Death Whisper don’t wear no rhinestone shirts JOSH GROSS

Wood River Valley-based guitar player Rico Hood has no idea why he plays cowboy music.

“I grew up in Texas and hated that shit,” Hood said. “I grew up with the Descendents and Black Flag.”

The hatred didn’t wane in his 20s, either.

“I lived in Dallas forever, and it sucked because every band there wanted to be the Reverend Horton Heat,” he said.

But country may have been in his blood.

Hood said that faced with the choice of being Old Death Whisper adds a punk rock flair to its whiskey-fueled country tunes. either “an Elvis guy or a Beatles guy,” his father went with Elvis and became a greaser.

Youth Lagoon will release a second album soon.

BUGHOUSES AND TREEFORTS Boise band and defacto cultural ambassador Youth Lagoon announced via Pitchfork that its sophomore album, Wondrous Bughouse, is set to be released Tuesday, March 5, on Fat Possum.

The timing couldn’t be better. In addition to providing local sensitive introverts with a fix of sad-sackery just in time to prevent them cheering up and appreciating spring, the album will come out just before Youth Lagoon plays one of the headlining sets at Treefort Music Fest, which takes place Thursday, March 21-Sunday, March 24, in downtown Boise.

Also playing at the fest will be more than 150 other bands, many of which Treefort just announced this week.

Big headliners include psychedelic pop band Animal Collective, socially conscious indie hip-hop icon Sage Francis and the old-school soul revival of Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings.

A number of other acts like Dan Deacon, Emily Wells, James Plane Wreck and Ugly Hussy were also announced in the latest round, as well as some alumni like Pickwick and Delicate Steve.

Treefort press liaison Matt Dalley said that the rest of the lineup will be revealed in two more rounds of announcements— one Wednesday, Jan. 30, and the other Thursday, Feb. 14. That means some big names are being withheld until those dates.

A complete list of the bands announced to date for the festival can be found at boiseweekly.com.

Other Treefort alums on their way back to Boise are members of Buffalo Death Beam, which had the distinction of being the only band to rock an oboe at last year’s festival. Several members of Buffalo Death Beam play Flying M Coffeegarage Saturday, Jan. 19, with their new group, Edmund Wayne, which Seattle Weekly said “manages to elicit the mood and stylings of Andrew Bird with the magnitude of Radiohead.” That show starts at 8 p.m. and costs $3.

But Youth Lagoon ain’t the only local band with a new album on the way. Boise punks Piranhas BC have been in the studio with Speedy Gray of Like A Rocket, working on a new round of drunkpunk and country mashups that the band hopes to have out sometime in the spring. Stay tuned to Boise Weekly for more details as they develop.

SWEATSHOP UNION, JAN. 19, REEF Vancouver, B.C., doesn’t stand out for having a strong rap scene. But Sweatshop Union, the “Vancity”-bred hip-hop group known for its 2008 full-length Water Street, works hard to put that misconception to bed.

Since forming in 2000, the Canadian collective has penned rhymes known more for substance than substance abuse— tackling topics from rap’s rampant misogyny to the Iraq War. Sweatshop Union focus on issues with tracks like “Oh My,” a ballad about class consciousness, and “High Grade,” about choosing music over “smart” career choices.

With 2011’s The Bill Murray EP, Mr. Marmalade and Mos Eisley spit about the famous Hollywood actor, who’s “strictly the Billest.” “That’s Bill Murray,” they rap, “You’re Chevy Chasin’ a dream.”

And while former member Kyprios left the group to pursue a solo career in 2011, that hasn’t slowed down the six remaining members on their march to Boise’s Reef.

LIVING DEAD IN DENMARK Tyler Bush’s AIR studio was broken into.

ANTIQUES ROADSHOW COMING TO BOISE Last week, Antiques Roadshow, the TV program beloved by collectors everywhere, announced plans to visit Boise. Production crews will roll into town Saturday, June 29, as part of an eight-city tour to film the popular Public Broadcasting Service program.

“We’ve invited Antiques Roadshow to come here for more than a decade,” said Ron Pisaneschi, director of content at local PBS affiliate Idaho Public Television.

Every week, Roadshow takes a group of experts to cities across the country to appraise that town’s family heirlooms and antiques. Participants bring in items pulled from dusty attics or basements, often cradling one-of-a-kind violins, priceless jewelry or vintage children’s toys, with appraised values in the thousands, much to the surprise of their owners.

“Heretofore, they haven’t done it in Boise because, for the first many years, the requirement was that there be 100,000 square feet of column-free space, which we don’t have in Idaho,” said Pisaneschi.

However, the Roadshow production crew, according to Pisaneschi, experimented successfully with shooting the program at smaller venues, ultimately securing Boise as a stop on the tour. A venue will be revealed at a later date, but you can download a free ticket application at pbs. org/antiques.

Moving from PBS to BODO, artists are encouraged to apply for free studio space at the 8th Street Marketplace and Renewal Underground as part of the Artist in Residency program.

Last week, the Boise City Department of Arts and History issued a new call for artists for residencies from March to August 2013, open to emerging and established Idaho creators in any discipline. AIR artists are given use of studio space to create new work. In return, they host art events on the First Thursday of each month. Abby Christensen, Tyler James Bush, Mary Lantz and Tuong Anh Ens are the current AIR artists, whose terms expire in March. Applications may be submitted before the noon deadline Friday, Feb. 1.

And speaking of Tyler Bush’s AIR studio, the artist was the victim of a burglary he believes occurred between 11:30 p.m. Jan. 8, and 11:30 a.m. Jan. 10. Bush returned to his studio space to find his Apple Mac Mini computer, Apple iPhone 3GS and a mini projector missing.

Bush is offering a piece of his artwork to the person who steps forward with the items. Those with information can contact Boise Police or the artist via his website, tylerjamesbush.com.

Shakespearean heroines battle zombies in HomeGrown Theatre’s new play CHRISTINA MARFICE In a snow-covered, barren wasteland, the still of the night air is broken by loud cries and heavy breathing. Three of Shakespeare’s leading ladies—Ophelia, Lady Macbeth and Juliet—face off against a horde of the undead. One zombie hunches over and dramatically clutches a sword protruding from his chest, then falls the ground. Rock music and gunshots blare as more zombies fall at the hands of the heroines.

NEWS/REC REC

VIRTUAL FITNESS The best part of snow requires getting downhill.

WINTER WONDERS Winter is in full swing, and if you haven’t been buried beneath a tidal wave of slush from a passing truck, you may be in the mood for some winter adventures.

If that’s the case, make your way up the hill to Bogus Basin Mountain Recreation Area Saturday, Jan. 19, for the Mambo Meadows Rail Jam at the ski area’s Mt. Dew Terrain Park. Plop down the $20 registration fee and show off your skills for the chance to take home a few prizes and a bit of glory.

Would-be victors of the rail can register the day of the event, beginning at 8:30 a.m., and competition begins at 11:30 a.m.

Both helmets and park passes are required, so be prepared to pay another $16 to get a lift ticket if you’re not a season pass holder.

Download a waiver in advance online, and anyone younger than 18 must have their parents sign off on their adventures.

For more information, visit bogusbasin.org.

You don’t have to compete to get in on the action, though. The Boardroom will be at the base of the hill throughout the day offering on-snow demos of the latest and greatest boards.

The free demos give boarders the chance to try out a variety of manufacturers’ boards in different styles, including some of the most sought-after specialty board companies in the country.

The Boardroom crew will attach riders’ own bindings to the boards they want to try out so they can have a true comparison between the offerings. Anyone who wants to take advantage of the deal just needs an ID and a credit card to leave as a deposit.

While there will be no youth boards available, there will be a range of sizes for adults. Anyone younger than 18 must have a parent or guardian sign off before taking a board out.

For more info and dates for more demo days, visit boardroomboise.com.

Of course, if you’re one of those who thinks the best part of skiing is apres ski, Brundage Mountain Resort has a contest that’s right up your alley.

The resort expanded the offerings at its main lodge this season, adding a specialty coffee bar, SideStash Cafe. The cafe is looking for a signature drink and is inviting the public to send in recipes for a chance to win a $50 Brundage gift card.

To enter, submit your cutting-edge coffee drink recipe—as well as a clever name for the brew—to the Design a Drink contest page on Facebook. Visit brundage.com and click on the contest to find the link.

360 Kinect programs make at-home workouts fun MICHAEL LAFFERTY There’s nothing like sweating it out in the privacy of your own home—no one around to mock you, correct your form or laugh.

So, pull down the shades, crank up the Xbox 360 and get ready to burn some calories. Two exercise programs recently released for the 360 with Kinect controller offer a little at-home guidance: Zumba Fitness Core and Nike+ Kinect Training are two vastly different titles but with the same goal.

NIKE+ KINECT TRAINING The slogan behind the Nike+ Kinect Training is “Get Athlete Fit,” and the program collaboration between Sumo Digital, Microsoft and uses Nike+ and Nike trainers to deliver intensity and reactive training regimens.

It utilizes two real Nike personal trainers—Alex Molden and Marie Purvis—and users can pick one as their mentor and trainer. The setup allows the trainer to get a fitness baseline to measure progress.

Make sure there is plenty of room and that the Kinect controller can see from the floor on up. The program will have users on their backs doing straightleg raises and push-ups, lunges, high knee lifts and jumps.

The game does an eerily good job seeing precisely what the user is doing, providing feedback—“raise your knees higher” or, in the case of a push-up, “pull the hips up”—and analyzing the quality of the workout.

The program designs a progressive fitness routine incorporating a wide range of techniques to focus on strength and endurance.

Users commit to a weekly schedule and then the program divvies up the targeted exercise types. Tests are taken periodically to chart progress.

Nike+ may detect that a user’s balance is slightly off and contributing to instability when standing on his or her right leg. No problem. The program designs a routine that emphasizes strengthening the deficits in the right leg.

Additionally, as the workout goes on, the program monitors and records how many repetitions are done correctly compared to the overall number of reps attempted.

While Nike+ doesn’t do what miCoach from Adidas does in incorporating a lot of games into the workout, it does allow players to participate in a quick game of

Nike+ Kinect provides an adaptable fitness program for at-home users.

dodge ball. Not only do you have to dodge the balls coming at you in waves, but you can tack on bonus time by singling out and kicking any soccer balls rolling in your direction.

The graphics are pretty good and utilize a fitness gym setting with a wooden wall behind the player. There are few distractions and the focus is clearly on the workout.

Zumba Fitness Core rates your moves.

ZUMBA FITNESS CORE This music-driven program uses dance steps to make you sweat by emphasizing two areas—cardio and core. Published

by Majesco, the program has prompts to remind users to tighten core muscle groups while working out to increase the quality of the workout.

Because this is a dance-centric workout program, Zumba Core uses six main dance styles, including salsa, meringue and reggaeton, but quickly blows past the basics in the actual workout.

The workouts themselves are broken down into either a single song for those who don’t have a lot of time or a full-on Zumba class.

Each song of the 40-track list is further defined by the type of workout (warmup, cardio, core or cardio/core) and intensity level. The low-intensity workouts are more

like warm-ups and can also provide nice early morning routines for those about to head out to work for the day.

With the medium- and high-intensity workouts, the routines take different forms.

You might pull up a high-intensity workout to the tune of the “Sugar Plum Fairy” and the routine has a real ballet style—lots of movement on the balls of the feet, strong balancing techniques and small jumping motions. Or you might favor “Paris (Ooh La La),” which brings on a rock burlesque dance sequence to work both core and cardio.

For the truly uninhibited, there are belly dancing moves, Brazilian funk and pop routines available.

Each song has an onscreen instructor that players are supposed to try to mimic and a screen inset showing upcoming moves before you get to them.

The backdrop for the whole workout ranges from dance clubs to tropical islands, and all points in-between. Instant feedback is provided with a meter that judges each motion. You might barely complete the move and get a “nice” prompt, get two-thirds of the move down and receive a “hot” comment, or nail the move to a sparkling “ZUMBA” message.

The program will allow up to two players and also allows players to put together a fitness program and track progress.

FINAL THOUGHTS Both Zumba Fitness and Nike+ are terrific programs and anyone using either will get a great workout. The key is to not just begin an exercise program but stick with it.

Neither program can do that for you. Of the two, Nike+ might be a bit more hardcore in nature, but what it does borders on technologically amazing.

Still, either program is a solid recommendation for those looking to get a workout or establish a routine without having to commit to a gym.

LE CAFE DE PARIS French bistro fare with minimal flair TARA MORGAN

Le Cafe de Paris was a warm refuge from the ice-slicked streets on a recent sunny Sunday morning. As my pal pulled open the door to the downtown French cafe, she smiled and said, “I always forget about this place for brunch.” I nodded in agreement.

Apparently, we were in the minority. The small restaurant teemed with people, French toast and crepes flew from the kitchen hoisted above the heads of the all-female waitstaff. A line of hungry patrons nursed coffees by the door and watched for signs of movement from tables littered with empty mimosa glasses.

Aside from the thin, flavorful green beans and the darkly caramelized onions in the soup, everything we had was good but lacked the seasoning and execution to make it great.

As our server cleared away our plates, she apologized for the meal’s timing, explained that it was her first night serving dinner and offered a dessert on the house. As we chiseled hunks of dark chocolate and tufts of minty mousse off the delightfully subtle Casablanca ($5.50), smiles of satisfaction spread over our faces.

CHILL OUT WITH CHIANTI In a country known for diverse wine styles and different grapes, sangiovese is still Italy’s most widely planted red variety.

The name sangiovese translates as “blood of Jove,” and its cultivation is thought to predate the rise of Rome. Sangiovese is the workhorse grape for central Italy, but in Tuscany it reaches it’s zenith. Typically blended with other varieties, the grape provides the backbone for the ever popular chianti. Here are the panel’s three favorites: 2009 GINI CHIANTI, $10.99 This wine was the most openly aromatic of the trio, with floral, ripe raspberry and blueberry backed by anise, fig, dried mushroom and a touch of earthy forest floor. While the nose is Old World in style, the palate is more New World, with fruit-forward flavors of red berry and cherry. Aged in large, neutral oak casks, this bargain chianti is a traditional blend of 80 percent sangiovese, with the remaining 20 percent a combo of canailo, ciliegiolo and malvasia nero.

2011 MAIANO CHIANTI, $22 Reserved on the nose at first, this wine opens up with time in the glass to reveal intriguing aromas of creme de cacao, coffee, dark berry and spice.

The flavors are round and rich with creamy chocolate-covered cherry that’s nicely balanced by tart red berry.

Light tannins, leather and touches of spicy licorice come through on the lengthy finish.

2010 SELVAPIANA CHIANTI, $17.99 This wine is a classically styled chianti from the Rufina district.

Fermented in both stainless steel and concrete vats, a part of the blend sees time in new oak barrels. That adds a touch of vanilla to the bright berry aromas that are backed by dried flowers, earth and game. A nicely structured wine, the texture is silky smooth with berry, plum and pomegranate flavors, with a hint of nutmeg on the finish.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): “If you would hit the mark, you must aim a little above it,” wrote 19th century poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. “Every arrow that flies feels the attraction of the Earth.”

This is good counsel for you to keep in mind during the coming weeks, Aries. I suspect you will have a good, clear shot at a target you’ve been trying to get close to for a long time. Adjust your trajectory to account for the attraction of the Earth.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If you learn a novel idea or a crucial new lesson while you are tipsy or outright blitzed, you will probably forget it when you sober up.

And it will remain forgotten as long as you abstain. But there’s a good chance you will recall the vanished information the next time you get loopy. I’m telling you this, Taurus, because even if you haven’t been inebriated lately, you have definitely been in an altered and expanded state of consciousness. I’m afraid that when you come back down to Earth in a few days, you might lose some of the luminous insights you’ve been adding to your repertoire. Is there anything you can do to ensure you will retain these treasures? It would be a shame to lose track of them until the next time your mind gets thoroughly blown open.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Studying the movements of the planets is my main way of discerning the hidden currents of fate. I sometimes supplement my investigations by reading Tarot cards and the Chinese Book of Changes, also known as the I Ching. This week, I used all of the above, as well as the following forms of prognostication: catoptromancy, divination by gazing into a mirror underwater; cyclomancy, or divination by watching a turning wheel; geloscopy, divination by listening to random laughter; and margaritomancy, divination by observing bouncing pearls. Here’s what I found, Gemini: You now have the power to discern previously unfathomable patterns in a mystery you’ve been monitoring.

You also have the ability to surmise covert agendas. Best of all, you can discover secrets you’ve been concealing from yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “To be reborn is a constantly recurring human need,” said drama critic Henry Hewes. I agree. We all need to periodically reinvent ourselves—to allow the old ways to die so that we can resurrect ourselves in unforeseen new forms. According to my analysis, Cancerian, your next scheduled rebirth is drawing near. For best results, don’t cling to the past; don’t imitate what has always worked before. Instead, have faith that surrendering to the future will bring you the exact transformation you need.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): My readers Paul and Sophie wrote to let me know they have patched together three Latin words to invent a term for a new concept: vomfiabone. They say it means “a curse that becomes a blessing.” Here’s an example of the phenomenon at work in their lives: While driving home from work together, they experienced car trouble and had to pull over to the shoulder of the road, where they called a tow truck.

Later, they discovered that this annoying delay prevented them from getting caught in the middle of an accident just up ahead.

Extrapolating from the current astrological omens, I’m guessing that you will experience at least one vomfiabone in the coming week, Leo. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I bet that in the next five months you will be obliged to carry more responsibility than you have in the past. You will find it hard to get away with being lazy or careless.

I suspect that during this time you will also have the privilege of wielding more influence. The effect you have on people will be more pronounced and enduring.

In short, Virgo, your workload will be greater than usual—and so will your rewards. To the degree that you serve the greater good, you will be a major player. As for next few weeks, concentrate on the work, service and responsibility part of this equation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Do you know what a “binky” is? It’s what a rabbit does when it gets so crazily happy that it exuberantly leaps up into the air, stretching and twisting its body as it flicks and flops its feet. I’m not sure if lexicographers would allow us to apply this term to humans. But assuming they might, I’m going to predict that you’ll soon be having some binky-inducing experiences.

You’re entering the Joy and Pleasure Season, Libra--a time when abundant levels of fun and well-being might be quite normal.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You know that area on your back that you can’t quite reach if you want to scratch it? It’s called your acnestis. I propose that we make it your featured metaphor of the week. Why? Because I suspect you will have to deal with a couple of itchy situations that are just beyond your ability to relieve.

Yes, this may be frustrating in the short run. But it will ultimately make you even more resourceful than you already are. By this time next week, you will have figured out alternative solutions that you haven’t even imagined yet.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “We need new friends,” said essayist Logan Pearsall Smith.

“Some of us are cannibals who have eaten their old friends up;

others must have ever-renewed audiences before whom to reenact an ideal version of their lives.” Smith could have been talking about you Sagittarians in early 2013. According to my interpretation of the astrological omens, you need some fresh alliances. Their influence will activate certain potentials that you haven’t been able to access or fully express with the help of your current circle.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A San Francisco writer named Maneesh Sethi decided he was wasting too much time on the Internet. His productivity was suffering, so he hired a woman to sit next to him as he worked and yell at him or slap his face every time his attention wandered in the direction of Facebook or a funny video. It worked. He got a lot more done. While I would like to see you try some inventive approaches to pumping up your own efficiency, Capricorn, I don’t necessarily endorse Sethi’s rather gimmicky technique. Start brainstorming about some interesting yet practical new ways to enhance your self-discipline.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Ronnyjohnson618” is a guy who posts his opinions on a wide variety of Youtube videos. Many times, he claims to be an expert in the field he’s commenting on.

Responding to a live music performance, he says he’s a conductor of an orchestra. Offering his opinion about a mimosa plant, he asserts that he is a botanist.

Beneath other Youtube videos, he declares he is a meteorologist, chemist, psychologist, soldier and geometry teacher. I love this guy’s blithe swagger; I’m entertained by the brazen fun he’s having. As you express yourself in the coming week, I recommend that you borrow some of his overthe-top audacity. Create a mythic persona. Imagine your life as an epic story and play the part of a hero.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The earliest performance artist on record was the ancient Greek philosopher Diogenes of Sinope.

In one of his notorious stunts, he wandered around Athens with a lit lantern during the daytime, claiming to be looking for an authentic human being. I recommend that you undertake a similar search in the coming days, Pisces. You don’t have to be as theatrical about it. In fact, it might be better to be quite discreet. But I think it’s important for you to locate and interact with people who are living their lives to the fullest— devoted to their brightest dreams, committed to their highest values and sworn to express their highest integrity.
