ACHIEVEMENTS! If this edition of Boise Weekly feels a little heavier in your hands, it’s the weight of experience… or knowledge, or—at least—lots of work. Sandwiched in the paper this week you’ll find the more than 100 glossy pages of goodness we call Annual Manual. After months of compiling, photographing, calling, writing and editing, our yearly guide to all things Treasure Valley is finally ready. This time around, we decided to focus more on the people of the Boise area, so you’ll find profiles of just a few of your neighbors who are making their communities more interesting—if not better—places to live. Of course, there are also loads of bar, restaurant and shopping profiles, as well as listings and events calendars good for the whole year.

And speaking of people who make the Treasure Valley more interesting, consider Jessica Holmes, who was crowned Boise’s Funniest Person by a panel of judges (and a cheering crowd) at Liquid on July 27. Best known to many as the force behind the Story Story Night public storytelling series, Holmes was joined by Alisha Donahue, Ben Pierce, Brandon Baxter and Ryan Black in the final five—winnowed from 20 original contestants over a monthlong series of stand-up faceoffs.

Holmes’ singularly awkward blend of nervous laughter and strangely endearing poop-talk (plus grim tales of the newly single adult acne sufferer) won her $1,000, the adulation of a standing-room-only bar crowd and the right to claim that she’s the funniest person in any given room in Boise—no matter what or where. If she doesn’t get business cards emblazoned with “Boise’s Funniest Person,” she’s squandering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Finally, while we’re talking about accolades, Boise Weekly’s own Sally Freeman, publisher/lead social organizer/font of wisdom/person with whom the buck stops, has picked up a new title: president of the Association of Alternative Newsmedia Board of Directors. She previously served the AAN Board as secretary, but was up-voted by her colleagues at the association’s meeting in Miami. BW also earned a couple of other distinctions. Former graphic designer Adam Rosenlund won second place in the illustration category for his work on the “Mind Over the Apocalypse” feature package, and little old me took home third place for election coverage with my story “Grand Old Punch-Up.” Not nearly as cool as being named “Boise’s Funniest Person,” but I’ll take what I can get.

BILL COPE/OPINION

PRESIDENT ME Eat my dust, Kustra

I don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up, but I may be moving away soon. Yeah, I’m applying for this other job, see, and if I get it, I’d have to move up to Moscow. Yeah, Moscow, Idaho. You’ve heard before what I think about Moscow. There’s hardly another town in the world that I’d rather live in. So I’ve really got my fingers crossed. For the job, for living in Moscow, all of it. Yeah. That’d be so cool.

Now, I should tell you, even if I get that job, it’s not like you’d never hear from me again. No, it’s a pretty high-profile gig and there’s every chance I’d be in the news here in Capital City with some regularity. See, if I get it, I’d be the next president of the University of Idaho. Yeah, me. That’d be so cool.

See, they’re having trouble hanging onto presidents up there. Counting interim ones, they’ve had eight different presidents in the last 20 years. Six just since 2003. The last guy, Duane Nellis, lasted only four years. Took a job at some school in Texas, I hear. And as hard as it is for me to understand why any sane, intelligent, educated, adult human being, qualified in any field more distinguished than that of pest extermination, would leave Moscow for any place in Texas, I’m sure Dr. Nellis had his reasons. Like, would you—as a sane, intelligent, educated, adult human being—want to have Tom Luna for your boss?

Yeah, let your brain chew on that: I answer to Tom Luna.

That’d be so not cool.

U Make no mistake, there are plenty of reasons beyond Mr. Luna for why the U of I can’t hold onto presidents. Without state leaders at Luna’s back who seem to think all you need to call yourself a “university” these days is a semi-pro football team and a rotating list of adjunct faculty willing to pay for their own on-campus parking, Luna would be one of the last people in Idaho anyone listened to.

And of course, let’s not forget we have a Legislature that has as little regard for educated people—and the stuff educated people know—as they do for Obamacare and wolves. Not to mention, at fifth (from the bottom) we have one of the least educated state populaces in the United States. I’m confident we can throw most of Europe and Asia onto the “Who’s More Educated Than the Average Idahoan?” list, too.

So yeah, it’s obvious to me that the starting point of the U of I’s woes is that the “I” stands for “Idaho.” Think about it: Can it be mere coincidence that, as the thoughtless, anti-intellectual, anti-science, anti-Enlightenment sludge of modern conservatism grew like some noxious mold on an unwashed petri dish to envelope the entire Republican Party, the great share of America’s universities found themselves cursed by under-funding, extravagant tuition hikes, exorbitant student debt, falling enrollment, abysmal graduation rates and utter disrespect for WWW. B OISEWEEKLY.C O M

what they offer civilization?

And where has the sludge of noxious conservatism taken hold any more firmly than Idaho? Seriously, about all that separates Idaho from Mississippi these days is the humidity.

So it’s little wonder that our state’s Flagship University—yeah, I said it!—has fallen on hard times, perhaps even more so than universities in other parts of the country, because there is something about Idaho’s premier institution of higher education that just pisses off conservatives, have you noticed?

It’s been going on for years. Decades, even.

They keep arguing that anything important— “important,” of course, according to a conservative concept of importance—should be relocated down here in Boise where all the people are. Like, if Boise is going to be where all the mediocre lawyers end up, they should be going to law school here. Or if some Micron lackey needs a few engineering credits to advance himself, why shouldn’t the local community college get the engineering school that Idaho can only afford one of?

But I can’t help but feel the conservatives’ disdain for the U of I goes deeper than the socio-politics of little-town vs. bigger-town.

I’m convinced they distrust the idea of so many of Idaho’s most promising students being up there, a couple of hundred miles beyond the range of the Naza-Mormofundamentalist force field that filters so much of what happens in Idaho; up there where they can’t keep a grip on what kind of faculty might be spreading what kind of god-forsaken free thought amongst the youngsters; up there where Idaho’s best minds might be learning (gasp!) unconservative ideas!

So nope, it’s no mystery to me why the U of I can’t keep a president. Imagine being qualified enough to lead an actual university, all chock-full of Ph.D.s and research facilities and a broad range of curricula and such, and then you find out your entire fate is in the paws of drooling baboons who can’t even fathom the value of kindergartens, let alone universities.

It’s gotten so bad, the university is proposing a new $2 million president’s mansion to entice candidates for the position. I say forget that. Save your money, U of I. Give me the job, and I’ll live in a double-wide in Genesee. For wages, I’ll settle for gas money and a parking spot. I’ll even pay for my own mortarboard.

And hey, out of all the applicants you’re looking at, I may not be the most highly educated. Or, you know... most qualified.

But as Luna proves every day, being “qualified” doesn’t count for much in this state. I say what you need is a real Vandal. Someone who will fight ruthlessly for the school, its students, its faculty and its future. Someone not at all shy about telling Idahoans what a shitty boss he has.

OPINION/JOHN REMBER

RITES OF PASSAGE Defining our own mile markers

Last fall, after a lot of hesitation and anxiety, I signed up for Social Security. I did so after our financial adviser said that if I waited and signed up for full retirement at 66, I’d be 87 before my benefits would exceed what they would be if I signed up at 62.

“Think of how much you’re going to enjoy that extra money when you’re 87,” he said.

Still, I put it off for a couple of months.

Social Security seemed like an unwelcome rite of passage. Before you start getting that monthly check, you’re living in a world where you could be somebody. Whoever buys Tamarack could hire you to put the resort back on its feet. Halliburton could hire you to design fracking procedures that wouldn’t destroy the water supplies of farmers. Ford could make you the spokesperson for its new line of F150s, and let you keep the hat and the boots and belt buckle when the job was over. President Barack Obama, noting your plain-spoken English and common sense, could appoint you to the Supreme Court, where you could write the opinions that would guarantee voting rights for poor people, strip corporations of personhood and make Rupert Murdoch go back to Australia for nine years to wait for a visa to enter this country.

But after that first Social Security check, it’s over. You build shelves in the garage. You print up business cards that declare you a consultant. You check out the thick works of academic historians from the library, and fall asleep with your nose stuck between the forewords and the first chapters. Your wisdom, such as it is, comes from song lyrics popular in the 1970s. You wander around town, noting that young people look younger than you did when you were that age, and that there’s something sick and wrong about a man in his 30s wearing short pants and riding a skateboard down the sidewalk. You rant about tattoos on the shoulders and lower legs of otherwise attractive young women.

At least that’s what I thought you did. It hasn’t worked that way. What I thought was a rite of passage has turned out to be just a monthly check from the government. My brain has not stopped working. The aged boys on skateboards sometimes look like vital young men out embracing the world, although it helps if I’ve been reading Walt Whitman before I dodge them on the bike paths. Tattoos on young women can look quite attractive, although I confess that some of them made me hope their tattooist quit tattooing after a year or two and did something he or she was good at.

Once, in a freshman comp class at the College of Idaho, two of my female students announced that after class they were going to get tramp stamps across their lower backs. They weren’t sure what they would be, although they were leaning toward a flattened X made up of lightning bolts, or double-headed eagles with wings outspread,

or “something Art Deco.”

“Whatever it is,” I told them, “make sure it’ll look good on your butt. Because that’s where it’s going to be in 20 years.”

They decided not to get the tattoos. I now and then hear from their mothers, who thank me yet again for my plain-spoken English and common sense.

Which brings us again to rites of passage.

We live in a culture where rites of passage have lost meaning and permanence. You can get your driver’s license, but it can be taken away. You can get married, but you can get unmarried. Graduation ceremonies—when they haven’t been robbed of meaning by previous graduations from junior high, elementary school and preschool—deliver you, often enough, not to adulthood, but to an infantilizing world of unemployment and impossible loan repayments. You can be confirmed in religion, but you can lose your faith to scientific materialism. You can go to war, but you can come home to a world that provides few post-war identities for warriors.

No wonder people are drawn to tattoos, because they are a do-it-yourself rite of passage. Leaving home, a divorce or an overseas deployment can all be made official by a tattoo. You are a different person after than before. But diplomas, certificates, legal decrees and oaths in front of hundreds of witnesses—not so much.

In Carl Jung’s autobiography, he wrote little of his chronological, physical life.

Instead, Memories, Dreams, and Reflections records moments when he felt the gods move beneath the surface of life, and moments when dense bits of the unconscious flooded into his awareness. These were the kind of pivot points he found important. Without them, people cannot grow up. Without them, people cannot be sane.

It’s hard enough to grow up in a culture that provides meaningful rites of passage.

When the culture sucks the meaning out of things, as ours does, it’s nearly impossible.

Hence the aged boys and girls, the compulsive focus on things that gave pleasure at 17, the obsession with spectator sports, the preference for one’s buddies or women’s group over one’s spouse, the body as surgically alterable terrain rather than housing for the spirit.

If I ever run an old people’s home—not that I will—there would be an elaborate induction ceremony. It would say, in effect: “Welcome to adulthood. Your life has been long and hard, and you’ve spent much of it doing meaningless things in meaningless circumstances. But now you have time to add meaning to your life. Look for the things that move your heart.

Wonder at the separate existence of other human beings. Learn from the people around you. If you succeed at making meaning in your life, share that meaning with others.”

And that would just be the ceremony for new employees.

THE CORE OF THE MATTER

Eberle (lower left), would be the fourth Boise City Council member to leave in recent years.

Idaho counts down the days to its biggest change to public education

ANOTHER BOISE COUNCIL MEMBER HINTS HE’LL STEP DOWN AT END OF TERM

KEVIN HUELSMANN In less than a month, Idaho teachers will do more than just welcome approximately 250,000 students back to school; educators will also be tasked with opening the book on far-reaching new standards which will dramatically change the way Gem State students learn.

Dubbed Idaho Core Standards by the Idaho State Department of Education, the department insists the new Common Core rules come with “extensive amounts of training and millions of dollars in state-funded efforts to ease administrators into this new program.”

Yet teachers will face this challenge without the help of new textbooks.

“They’re not out there for the new standards,” Education Department spokeswoman Melissa McGrath told Boise Weekly. “Publishers are scrambling to keep up.”

McGrath said there’s money available to help buy new textbooks; the problem is a matter of timing.

“Why would state administrators or district-level leaders invest in books that soon will be out of date?” she asked.

“We’re in a kind of a bind with this,” said Stephanie Youngerman, supervisor of language arts for the Boise School District—second only to Meridian as Idaho’s largest district. “We could spend a lot of money on things that support Common Core, or we could have materials that don’t support Common Core and have no money left. We’ve taken the more cautious approach.”

Boise district officials, like their counterparts at the state, are waiting for textbook companies to catch up, Youngerman said.

Meanwhile, administrators and teachers have been charged with figuring out how to turn the new set of guidelines into classroomready lessons.

“We don’t have things in place just yet,” Youngerman said, “but we’ll have things for teachers to use when school starts.”

Specifically, teachers will lean on Common Core handouts to supplement existing textbooks. Additionally, the district is hosting regular meetings where teachers can discuss problems and ask questions. Administrators expect to conduct regular surveys asking teachers about their progress and outcomes.

Idaho Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Luna and other Common Core advocates insist that the new standards are a response to complaints from more and more WWW. B OISEWEEKLY.C O M

Boise District School Superintendent Don Coberly is flanked by Stephanie Youngerman (left), supervisor of language arts for the district, and Cathy Sorger (right), mathematics curriculum coordinator.

employers about Gem State graduates’ lack of “real-world” problem-solving skills—and from colleges saying that incoming freshmen were ill-prepared for the level of learning that faced them in a university setting.

The new standards are aimed at fixing those problems by updating the way K-12 students learn mathematics and language arts—eschewing memorization in favor of broader, more analytical understanding of the subject matter.

Instead of getting 30 math problems for homework, for example, a student might only get a few longer, more complex questions that involve real-life challenges requiring students to think through multiple steps, not simply apply a formula.

Students will not only have to solve problems, but they’ll have to explain how they did so, said Cathy Sorger, mathematics curriculum coordinator for the Boise School District. “For example: ‘How did you come to that answer?’

And, ‘Can you show how you got there?’”

In language arts, students will now have to incorporate a host of research and analysis to consider the larger context of stories, plays and poems they’re reading.

Boise District Superintendent Don Coberly told BW that his schools will roll out Common Core with a measured pace; and, since the Idaho Standards Achievement Tests were administered to grades 3-10 during the past school year, there won’t be a need to retest students in the coming year as the new standards are implemented.

“We don’t need to be in a hurry,” said Coberly. “We can move through the implementation of the curriculum and take our time with testing.”

But there is cause for concern among some of those who work one-on-one with students.

Not having appropriate textbooks—or at least reference materials that are suited to the new curriculum—could prove troublesome, said Tony Pori, owner and operator of Boise-based tutoring company The Math Advantage.

“Having to adapt, say, a third of a textbook and having to adapt nearly the entire thing are quite different,” Pori said, referring to the task that lies ahead of many teachers. “It’s going to be hard to do that.”

Common Core standards were developed by a coalition of state governments in a process that began in 2007, when Luna began meeting with other state education chiefs regarding the overhaul effort. In June 2010, he began hosting regional public meetings throughout Idaho to talk about the Common Core concept.

By November 2010, the Idaho State Board of Education adopted the standards and the 2011 Idaho Legislature gave final approval to adopt the so-called Idaho Core for math and language arts.

Through much of 2012, the Idaho Department of Education decided to focus on bringing administrators—who help manage more than 700 of Idaho’s public schools—up to speed. This summer, state education officials say they’re keying in on teachers; trying to help them adapt Idaho Core standards to the classroom.

Youngerman said English and language arts teachers will be expected to encourage students to support more concepts and ideas about literature.

“For example, during a certain time period, not only would you be studying the authors of that time, but also looking at the poetry and theater that goes along with that,” Youngerman said. “This [Idaho Core] is much more integrated.”

To gauge its success—or lack thereof—new testing will follow. Some teachers and administrators say parents should be aware that it will take their children some time to adjust. Others are more blunt, saying some students will clearly find the new method more challenging.

In either case, administrators are warning that students’ scores will likely take 8 a dive initially.

Sample test questions, which

Politics, at least at Boise City Hall, is becoming more of a young person’s pursuit.

Only four years ago, Mayor Dave Bieter was the youngest person on the Boise City Council. Today, he’s not even the second or third youngest. In fact, Boise’s newest lawmakers, Lauren McLean, Ben Quintana and TJ Thomson, all in their 30s, are considerably younger than hizzoner, who will turn 54 this November.

Between 2009 and 2012, and in fairly short order, Thomson, McLean and Quintana replaced outgoing council members Jim Tibbs, Vern Bisterfeldt and Alan Shealy.

And now, one more council member concedes that he’s nearing the end of his political career.

“I think the young bucks are slowly getting their feet on the ground,” Councilman David Eberle told Boise Weekly.

Eberle, first elected to the Council in 2003, and re-elected by wide margins in 2007 and 2011, says his public service bucket list is just about complete.

“I’ve accomplished almost everything I wanted to,” said Eberle. “So, yes, it’s time to step down.”

Eberle was quick to caution that he wasn’t making an announcement anytime soon, but he did confirm that he and his wife were looking forward to building a new home in Garden City.

“I think I can step down, certainly by the end of my term if not sooner,” said Eberle, 63, whose term expires at the end of 2015.

“There’s something my dad taught me.

If you bring in a CEO and he can’t get an agenda done in five to six years, then he’s not ever going to get it done,” said Eberle.

“I think it’s true with City Council members.

You run because you’ve got fire in your belly.

I came in on issues of fiscal responsibility and sustainability, and we’re largely there.”

Eberle added that he would have “mixed emotions” about living in Garden City, “But we’re not wealthy, and if we’re going to live on the river, it’s going to be in Garden City.”

For now, he said he’s still enjoying watching the “young bucks” but has to coach them on occasion.

“Sometimes, they’ll make statements and you have to remind them it’s part of the public record,” he said. “Or maybe they’re really gung-ho for an initiative, but you have to ask them where are they going to get the money for it.”

Eberle said there was “no great urgency” to step away from office, but we shouldn’t be surprised when and if that happens.

“That’s the plan, until it’s not,” he said.

CAN A MEGA-LOAD MAKE A U-TURN? Legal roadblocks await latest tar sands shipments GEORGE PRENTICE The Idaho Transportation Department may want to consider building a new off-ramp on the stretch of U.S. 12 that winds alongside the Clearwater and Lochsa rivers in North-Central Idaho: “Next Exit, U.S. District Court.”

ITD has visited several courtrooms since 2010, when Boise Weekly readers began reading of proposed shipments of T-Rex-sized equipment (BW, News, “Taking the Scenic Route,” July 7, 2010) across one of region’s most scenic thoroughfares—destined for the controversial Tar Sands Oil Project in Alberta, Canada. ExxonMobil had initial plans to pull massive rigs of equipment across U.S. 12, from the Port of Lewiston to the Montana border, before heading north to Canada.

But debate, and a number of legal challenges, stretched out over two years—before ExxonMobil retreated from its plans, opting instead to break the mega-loads into smaller shipments and hauling them up Idaho’s Highway 95 (BW, News, “Beating the ExxonMobil Mega-Loads,” Nov. 16, 2011).

But (and stop us if you’ve heard this one before), the mega-load debate is again picking up speed as yet another transport company, this time Oregon-based Omega Morgan, asked ITD to pull as many as nine shipments, each at least 255-feet long, from Lewiston to Montana via U.S. 12, before heading north for a Tar Sands customer that Omega won’t disclose. Each rig, resembling a Saturn rocket from the Apollo space age, is a water purification vessel weighing approximately 320 tons.

Omega has floated two of the nine mega-

loads, via barge, to the Port of Wilma, Wash., four miles downstream of Lewiston, and has already loaded the shipments aboard massive tractor rigs.

“Omega has spent a lot of money moving those loads toward Lewiston in what I would view as a dead-end location for them,” Kevin Lewis of Idaho Rivers United told Boise Weekly.

But Lewis reminds Omega that a federal judge ruled in February that the U.S. Forest Service has authority over a large stretch of Idaho’s U.S. 12 (BW, News, “The MegaMyth About Mega-Loads,” Feb. 6, 2013) and should exercise that authority to protect the Wild and Scenic Corridor, winding through the Nez Perce and Clearwater forests between Kooskia and the Idaho-Montana border.

“And through that ruling, the Forest Service really has three criteria that we’re looking at when someone requests an oversized shipment through the region,” Heather Berg, Wild and Scenic River administrator for the Nez Perce and Clearwater forests, told BW. “No. 1: Would the shipment block both lanes of traffic and create traffic delays? No. 2: Would the shipment require more than 12 hours to travel through the national forest?

And No. 3: Would the shipment require physical modification of the highway?”

Omega’s shipments initially violated all three criteria, according to Berg. Omega has since modified its proposal, but Berg said the request still violated the first two criteria.

When BW asked Berg to describe current negotiations with the Forest Service, Omega

have been developed by the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium, a 29-state group of administrators—including from Idaho—are available online through smarterbalanced. org/pilot-test or by linking through the Idaho Department of Education’s website sde.idaho.gov.

One question, posed to third- through fifth-grade students, asks which equation is true or false: 37 X 4 = 1,480/10 215 X 39 = 2,487/3 4,086 X 7 = 32,202 7

and the Idaho Transportation Department, which would grant a permit to travel on U.S. 12, she took a long breath and laughed nervously before answering.

“It’s a challenging situation,” she said.

“And ITD and the Forest Service have different interests. I think it would be best to describe our conversations as cordial and professional.”

ITD is more tight-lipped, only confirming for BW that Omega Morgan had submitted a plan to the state of Idaho and, according to ITD Public Involvement Coordinator Adam Rush, “At this time, a permit has not been issued.”

Meanwhile, Idaho Rivers United is more than anxious to challenge Omega’s plan if and when anyone—including the state of Idaho or the U.S. government—gives Omega a green light to move the mega-loads across U.S. 12.

“This is, pure and simple, a brinkmanship move on the part of Omega Morgan,” said Lewis. “I can just hear Omega now, crying that they spent all this money moving their loads to Lewiston; and, you know, that’s just what they’re going to say. Well, they had their eyes wide open on this one. And if they made the choice to come to Lewiston, it was at their own peril. And they deserve zero sympathy for that.”

Meanwhile, ITD hastily scheduled an executive session of its board of directors for July 29. The agenda said “legal issues” would be discussed behind closed doors.

“It should be an interesting week,” Lewis told BW.

9,130 X 86 = 785,180 Another question asks high-school language arts students to choose the most precise meaning of the word “disgorging”: a) scattering randomly, b) throwing out quickly, c) spreading out widely or d) casting forth violently.

There are dozens of other samples on the website, but the biggest test of all will come in about 18 months, when the Idaho Department of Education sees the first results of what will be the biggest change to public education in anyone’s memory.

BRIAN CARDOZA Idaho City Hotshots superintendent feels the burn, but keeps the focus GEORGE PRENTICE

At what age did you have a sense of how dangerous your father’s work as a Hotshot was?

I was very young, and one of my dad’s best friends was killed in the 1979 Ship Island Fire [in Eastern Idaho’s Targhee National Forest].

I was worried about that, but my dad always assured me how safe he was. He was right. It’s less dangerous than most people think.

I find that hard to believe.

I’ve got a great crew—very well trained.

JER EM Y LANNINGHAM

It’s all in the family for Brian Cardoza.

The 40-year-old son of a Central California Hotshot firefighter, Cardoza has been on the lines of the some of the nation’s most intense wildfires for more than two decades.

Even his 6-year-old son, Grant, has offered some pretty good firefighting advice.

“Last summer I was on a fire outside of Salmon and Grant really wanted me to come home,” Cardoza recalled. “He said, ‘Dad, get your Hotshots to lay some hose, squirt some water on that fire and come home.’ I said, ‘Son, you don’t understand; the fire is too big.’

“A few days later, we ended up laying in all of this hose, and the only way we could contain it was with water. I thought, ‘Man, I should have just listened to Grant.’”

Cardoza, a single dad, telephones his son— back in their Boise home—almost every night.

But, on occasion, he has to apologize for not calling due to the intensity of a firefight.

In between battling some of this summer’s nastiest wildfires, Boise Weekly spoke with the Idaho City Hotshots superintendent about his son, his crew and the tragedy in Arizona that claimed the lives of 19 Hotshots.

Most of them have been with me long enough to read my mind most of the time.

They’re awesome.

What defines a Hotshot?

In my opinion, it’s the physicality and crew cohesion.

By cohesion, are you talking about number of working parts in synch?

Some are cutting brush or trees, others are scraping the line, some on lookout, some monitoring the weather. We have 22 on the Idaho City Hotshots right now, 14 of them have radios, so we have a lot of traffic on our crew channel.

Talk to me about the hours you work.

In an initial attack, when a fire starts, we can work up to 30 hours-plus.

Hold it. Thirty hours straight?

That’s right. Once things get to a standard schedule, we’re 16 hours on, eight hours off.

But how do you maintain energy and focus?

From our spring training—two weeks in April. It’s very physical, plus a lot of classroom training.

Professional athletes must have nothing on you Hotshots when it comes to spring training.

It’s funny that you say that. Some of our best guys were kids in high school who struggled to even make their varsity sports teams. But when we get to a fire line, those are the ones who work the hardest and never give up. That said, we have a lot of college athletes. A lot of runners, captains of college football teams, you name it.

How did the June 30 deaths of 19 Arizona Hotshots resonate among your Hotshots?

Our crew was a bit sheltered at first; we were still fighting fires when it happened. We didn’t have much outside communication. But now that we’ve heard more, it’s pretty staggering.

Do you talk that through with your crew?

We sat down and talked about it quite a bit. I reassured them that our crew has been working together a long time and we’ve got a good thing going. We need to step it up and stay focused.

I’m guessing that a big part of that focus is knowing when to pull back.

Our lookouts know when a fire is coming our way, telling us to get to a safe place. That’s how we stay alive.

Is this a life you would recommend?

I love it. I’ve given up my summers for as long as I can remember. I’ve been doing this for 22 years. But I love the camaraderie. And in the winter, I can spend a lot more time with my son.

What are your son’s dreams?

He wants to be a scientist.

Maybe he can help his generation prevent more wildfires.

We’ll see. We can hope.

Believe it or not, the Tige Endless Wave Tour brings a full weekend of all that and more to Lucky Peak Reser voir. The Boise Sur f This Bash kicks off with four days of Tige Boat demos, clinics, a Sur f ’n’ Tur f party and a wakesurfing competition, Thursday-Aug. 1-Sunday, Aug. 4.

Yes, skeptics, wakesurfing: a sport in which the rider surfs the wake trailing a wakeboard boat. All the thrills of catching an ocean wave minus the threat of shark attacks.

The EWT opens its first two days of the stop with boat demos and pro rider clinics, followed by meet-and-greets with professional wakesurfers at the surf ’n’ turf party from 6-8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 2, at the Holiday Inn Boise Airport. The party is open to the public and features live music, giveaways, autographs and photo ops with the pros.

Wakesurfing competitors are categorized into pro, amateur and masters divisions, and men’s and women’s surf- and skim-style competitions run all day Saturday, Aug. 3, and Sunday, Aug. 4, at Lucky Peak’s Spring Shores Marina. For the spectators, the Surf This Bash features sponsor tents, food and drink vendors and water jump houses for the kids, plus more live music and giveaways.

whole lotta harpin’ YELLOW PINE MUSIC AND HARMONICA FESTIVAL

the livin’s easy

When the pioneers entered the land we now call Idaho, they weren’t sporting earbuds and making iPod playlists. Musical entertainment came from those who carried simple instruments like pocket harps and harmonicas. The 24th annual Yellow Pine Music and Harmonica Festival honors the tradition of those early settlers each year by bringing some solidly folky tunes to Central Idaho.

From Friday, Aug. 2-Sunday Aug. 4, the hills will ring with traditional music, and spectators can try to impress the crowds at the harmonica open mic Friday and Saturday nights. Of course, they can always just sit back and listen to professionals play in the solo performances.

Want to get more harmonica-proficient? Learn valuable techniques at Harmonica Bob’s Per formance Skills Workshop on Saturday, when professional harmonica player Bob Jackson Miner teaches playing etiquette to help you jam with the best and overcome that stage fright. Tickets for the workshop cost $10.

Visit the Museum of Harmonica Wonderment to learn all about the history of the mouth harp and see musicians, past and present, who have shaped the use of the instrument. If all this harmonica talk whets your appetite, grab a New Orlean’sstyle sandwich from Po’ Bois and a cold draft from TableRock Brewpub and Grill. For those satisfied by a stogie, Back Country Outfitters will have a selection of cigars available, because nothing goes with a harmonica like a cigar—we’d just like to see them used at the same time.

Friday, Aug. 2, 1 p.m.-midnight; Saturday, Aug. 3, 8 a.m.midnight; Sunday, Aug. 4, 8 a.m.-6 p.m. FREE. Yellow Pine, yellowpinemusicandharmonicafestival.org.

For 10 days, Long Valley will be filled with the echoing chords of jazz and classical music as McCall and Cascade both play host to a series of concerts by locally and internationally recognized artists.

Concerts will be held Friday, Aug. 2-Sunday, Aug. 4, and Wednesday, Aug. 7-Sunday, Aug .11, at various locations around both towns, with performances beginning most evenings at 7:30 p.m. and a few afternoon concerts scheduled for the weekends.

Guest soloists including pianist Mei-Ting Sun, violinist Lindsay Deutsch and vocalists Nicole Greenidge Joseph and Cascade’s own Adam Wade Duncan will perform individual concerts, as well as accompany the SummerFest orchestra in larger concerts. Venues include area churches, Shore Lodge and even Kelly’s Whitewater Park in Cascade. The latter will be the scene of an evening of jazz with the Ted Rosenthal Trio on Wednesday, Aug. 7.

And since it always seems to be a struggle to get younger audiences interested in classical music, families can take advantage of a special free children’s concert on Saturday, Aug. 10, in McCall, where future music fans can check out an instrument petting zoo following the performance.

Friday, Aug. 2-Sunday, Aug. 4; Wednesday, Aug. 7-Sunday, Aug. 11. Concert times and locations vary. $25-$100. McCall, mccallmusicsociety.org.

PICA-PIC Most people older than 25 will wistfully remember the days of huddling in the playground around a handheld LCD video game, listening to the monotone beeps as they craned their necks to see the screen, waiting for their turn. Those nostalgic adults can rediscover their favorites online and fully playable in their web browser thanks to Polish art studio Hipopotam. From the “I remember that!” of Donkey Kong Jr., pica-pic.com to the “I don’t even know how to pronounce that!” of Nu, Pogodi, there should be at least a couple of games that any child of the ’80s would recognize.

Children of the modern age, however, will probably glance up from Call of Duty and wonder if it has Xbox Achievements.

The games are simple, it’s true, and the monochrome LCD images look pretty laughable next to modern 1080p polygons (or even a budget smartphone), but they remain eminently playable. Entire lunchtimes can still be lost trying to get to level 10 on Sub Attack. Office arguments end up settled over a couple of games of Parachute. Online score tables bring back the “yeah, just one more go, I can beat it this time” aesthetic that are lost on most modern games.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to try and top the alltime high score of 55,350 on Zelda.

ARTS/BOOK REVIEW HONOR BY KENNETH SCHERER Indie publishing is both a blessing and a curse. By removing the thorny gatekeepers of traditional publishing houses, there is an inordinate amount of decent fiction—from old-fashioned genre to avant-garde experimental literature—that would never make it to the shelves of a Barnes and Noble. But with the sheer breadth of work available, swelled by the unnerving ease of self-publishing—especially digital (upload document, set price, click publish, done)— the wheat-to-chaff ratio has become bloated.

Hastily written first drafts that are often unreadable drown out polished, gripping prose, creating an ever-growing argument suggesting the diamonds hidden in the rough may not be worth the effort it takes to mine them.

HONOR While Boise writer

by Kenneth Scherer Kenneth Scherer’s Published by WestBow Press Honor doesn’t quite belong at the forefront of that argument, it is still present as backup evidence—a novella that comes across as unfinished and unpolished, in dire need of an editor’s touch and heavy revision before it can stand out from the crowd.

The book introduces war vet Brent Edwards, who struggles to cope with coming home with crippling injuries sustained in an ambush. A chance meeting with a beautiful girl forces him to evaluate what it means to be a hero, a soldier and a wounded man reliant on the care of a woman.

This promising setup is sadly let down by the prose within.

Hyper-inflated with unnecessary adjectives and redundancies, it expends so much effort trying to paint a picturesque scene the focus gets lost, giving entire paragraphs over to situations that could be better explored in single short sentence. On the first page, we find the protagonist struggling with moving a pebble from under his butt in order to get comfortable on a bench—half the page devoted to this effort. A conversation that is little more than introductory small talk and setup lasts seven full pages, coming between bouts of scene-setting and further exposition. Sadly, not as much detail has been paid to the raw text, with errors in spelling, punctuation, continuity and grammar on most of the 232 pages.

There is a good foundation for a story here. The raw plot is reasonably compelling and well thought out, and has the potential to be something deep and meaningful. But the storyteller lacks confidence in himself, spending most of the time either explaining things that don’t require explanation or engaging in sheer repetition. Barely a page goes by without mentioning the protagonist’s feelings of guilt and anxiety, the pain of his wounds or his girlfriend’s beauty, depowering what emphasis they could have had. Almost every conversation, no matter how trivial, ends up bookended by explanation and exposition. The two mantras of an accomplished writer—”show, don’t tell” and “less is more”—end up virtually reversed.

Scherer has a solid core to work on and with editing, it could be a good read, but it is far from ready as merely a readable book, let alone one to stand out from the thousands of other self-published novels clamoring for attention.

THE COMFORT OF DISCOMFORT Adam Rosenlund exhibits a new side at Bricolage AMY ATKINS Anyone who has picked up a Boise Weekly in the past few years has seen Adam Rosenlund’s work. As BW’s staff graphic designer, his illustrations accompanied articles on everything from politics to picnic food. As is often the case with illustration work, the creations were Rosenlund’s based on ideas from someone else—sometimes with little more than a synopsis, he would create a visual representation of a story. For De-Resolution, an exhibition of new work opening First Thursday at Bricolage, Rosenlund again works with both internal and external forces, but this time, in a completely different way.

THE NEXT CHAPTER Finn Riggins takes a break for new baby, new music

Adorable psychopaths plan multi-state spree.

NEW MUSIC PROJECT PSYCHO ADORABLE LAUNCHING 75-DAY TOUR

BEN SCHULTZ Eric Gilbert has a theory: He believes that everything runs in cycles of seven years.

He sees his band Finn Riggins as a case in point. Although no one planned it this way, the band’s Neurolux show on Thursday, Aug. 1, will fall exactly on its seven-year anniversary.

Appropriately, it will be the last chance to see the celebrated local trio for a while. Finn Riggins announced on its website in May that Lisa Simpson, the band’s lead singer/guitarist and Gilbert’s wife, is pregnant with their first child (due Tuesday, Nov. 5). After the Neurocoverage—from the Boise Weekly or anylux show, the band will go on hiatus both to one—of the local scene. So from the outside, it have the baby and to work on new material. looked like there was no bands here. And then “It’s hard to believe,” Simpson said of her I remember that I was like, ‘There’s all these band turning 7 years old.

Finn Riggins set down roots, recording its Finn Riggins’ “birthday” because that’s the day album Vs. Wilderness at AudioLab studio in they and drummer Cameron Bouiss moved to Hailey. Prior to that, the three were roommates 2009, followed by extensive touring, playing more than 200 shows per year across the Unitat the University of Idaho. Gilbert met Simped States. When the band decided to scale back son several years earlier in Vermont. on touring, Gilbert promoted shows around “We sort of dabbled in a band,” Gilbert Boise, using the contacts he’d made playing said, “and then, [Lisa] was basically like, ‘Come back to me when you’re ready for this.’” all over the country. Since he had already set up shows in Moscow and booked the band’s “That wasn’t my perception,” Simpson tours, it was a natural fit. For Gilbert, booking countered with a laugh. is a way to repay debts.

Generosity and willingness to take risks don’t always translate into financial profit, though. “Mostly, we like to help Eric out as much as possible,” Swope said, “because he doesn’t really make any money off of us.”

Megan Stoll, Duck Club marketing director and Gilbert’s assistant at live concerts, agreed.

“We don’t make any money,” Stoll said.

“We kind of basically have a cycle: ‘OK, so we made money on this show. This show, we lost money.’”

Still, Stoll said that she takes pride in how Duck Club Presents gives concertgoers a chance to hear high-quality music at reasonable prices—and not just established acts like Animal Collective, but up-and-comers like the Soft White Sixties.

For his part, Gilbert said he approaches Treefort and Duck Club with his eye more on art than commerce.

“We are trying to make it [Treefort] sustainable, but we’re not thinking, ‘OK, if we book this, we’ll make this much money.’ Duck Club as well; we don’t think of it on those terms,” he said. “Otherwise, we’d be getting Bieber more often.”

Gilbert can’t say just how his new fatherly duties will impact work with Duck Club. As for the future of Finn Riggins, taking some time off is part of the adventure.

“I think for me, it’s always been, ‘OK, let’s see what’s going to be thrown at us next,’” Simpsons aid. “And certainly, we’re at that crossroads right now, with starting a family at the same time.”

But that has always been part of the plan.

“It wasn’t an either/or when we decided to start the band; we knew that this would be something that we chose as well,” she said.

Still, they have to pay the bills.

“So I’m hoping that that can continue, that Eric can continue doing what he loves,” Simpson said, “because I know how much he loves it.”

When Bronwyn Leslie (aka Lionsweb) and Kelsey Swope (aka Grandma Kelsey) moved into a room in the back of a Garden City bingo hall, they found an old wooden cradle. It sits in a corner and holds aged vinyl LPs that include Bob Dylan’s Nashville Skyline, The Beatles’ Abbey Road and some unnamed guilty pleasures.

It’s an apt metaphor for Leslie and Swope’s new musical collaboration.

Although they’ve played together for only a couple of months, they’ve booked an ambitious 75-day U.S.-Canada tour under the name Psycho Adorable.

“It’s totally different than any collaboration that we’ve done before,” said Swope, describing the project as encompassing “our interpretation of the world: how we deal with things, how we cope with things, how we relate to people, how we exist as women, how we exist as humans.”

A trip with Finn Riggins to this year’s Eastern Oregon Film Festival in La Grande, Ore., planted the seed for Psycho Adorable.

Leslie and Swope were scheduled to perform there under their respective solo acts and developed a friendship. On the drive back to Boise, Leslie said, they agreed: “We should do something, let’s collaborate!”

The name arose from a conversation that Swope had with a friend.

“We were hanging out one day and were trying to describe my music [as Grandma Kelsey], and that’s what we came up with,” she said.

Leslie and Swope tried to think of other names, but whenever they talked to people about their collaboration, “we couldn’t describe it any other way that would just make sense,” Swope added.

Rather than turn to Kickstarter or Indiegogo, the pair opted to launch an independent fundraising campaign via their blog, psychoadorable.tumblr.com, to finance the tour. Using a funding platform builds “a wall between a donation and the person receiving it,” Leslie explained. “I think we definitely wanted to bridge that gap.”

A tour kickoff show happens on Wednesday, Aug. 21, at The Crux. Leslie and Swope also plan to record three to five Psycho Adorable songs during the first week of August.

In addition to her musical projects, Leslie recently received a $5,000 Idaho Film Office grant. She plans to use the money to film a documentary on serial killer Lyda Southard.

“I just feel like a big kid a lot of the time,” Leslie said. “I’m doing exactly what I want to be doing.”

MC CHRIS, AUG. 2, NEUROLUX At the end of 1984’s Revenge of the Nerds, Gilbert and Lewis give a speech in which they publicly acknowledge and accept their nerdiness in the coming-of-age scene required of all ’80s movies. A lot has changed since then. Now, instead of name calling, we name check nerds, secretly envious of them and wishing we’d founded Facebook. Or Apple. Mostly Apple.

MC Chris, aka Chris Ward, aka the voice of Sealab 2021 engineer Hesh Hepplewhite, has long embraced his geek within and parlayed his squeaky voice and kooky sense of humor into a successful rap career. He returns to Boise with a stop on his Revenge of the Nerd 2 tour, and all geeks, dorks, spazzes and, of course, nerds are welcome. Pocket protectors not required.

PILLAR OF ART Jesus Urquides

BIETER ANNOUNCES MAYOR’S ARTS AND HISTORY AWARDS It might not be the Key to the City, but it’s the highest artistic honor Boise Mayor Dave Bieter can give. Hizzoner recently announced the recipients of the 2013 Mayor’s Awards for Excellence in Art and History, adding two Lifetime Achievement awards and three Boise 150 accolades, in honor of the city’s sesquicentennial.

This year, Boise Contemporary Theater and artist Kerry Moosman were recognized for general artistic excellence, while Boise Rock School and ceramicist Rick Jenkins were recognized for excellence in art education. The Laura Moore Cunningham Foundation and philanthropist Susan Smith received nods for support of the arts. U.S. Bank was singled out with the Business Support for the Arts award.

Treefort Music Fest, which enjoyed its second takeover of downtown this spring, was honored with an Excellence in the Arts—Emerging Organization award.

The Friends of Jesus Urquides—which preserves the history of the pioneering Mexico-born muleteer whose contributions to Boise’s founding were honored earlier this year with a downtown memorial (BW, Arts, “Honoring Jesus Urquides,” April 24, 2013)—earned recognition for excellence in history. Kurt Zwolfer, education manager at the Idaho State Historical Museum, picked up the Excellence in History Education award.

Boise 150 Awards were broken into three categories, with honorees including former Capital City Development Corporation Executive Director Phil Kushlan in the Community category; the Idaho Statesman in the Enterprise category; and Don Belts and Eric Jensen of local site planning, landscape architecture and urban design firm JensenBelts in the Environment category.

Finally, Lifetime Achievement awards went to Esther Simplot, an arts and culture supporter so steadfast that buildings and parks get named after her, and Pug Ostling, a longtime restaurateur whose cultural contributions include the foundation of the Fettuccini Forum lecture series, as well as groups and exhibit space for writers and artists, and the former Gene Harris Block Party.

Though awardees were announced July 18, they will be officially honored Thursday, Sept. 12, from 5-10 p.m. at the Boise Plaza building with a ceremony, live music, food and no-host bar.

Tickets to the awards presentation, hosted by the Boise City Department of Arts and History, cost $35 and are available online at mayorsawards.eventbrite.com.

The work of Ketchumarea artist Rod Kagan enjoys a resurgence HARRISON BERRY At first sight, Rod Kagan’s sculptures have a vaguely industrial quality. His columns and totems, meant to evoke ancient and Native American themes, are triumphant stacks of cubes, spheres and arches. His candlesticks nod at pyramids and rivets, and human representations like “Reclining Lady 3” look like Kagan built them from bronze tangrams.

Kagan’s works have been on display at the Smithsonian, and an 8-foot-tall Hanukkah menorah Kagan built is permanently housed at the Wilshire Boulevard Temple in Los Angeles.

LOATHSOME DOVE It’s open season on Eurasian collared doves RANDY KING

Dogs on a roll.

ROLLIN’ WITH THE DOGS Boise is both a dog- and bike-friendly sort of place, but the two don’t necessarily mix well (many a biker can share stories about going over their handlebars when a dog suddenly ran across their path).

But a Boise couple used that sort of oiland-water relationship as inspiration to create a canine cycling product, the Puprunners.

“We just made one for ourselves and people would literally stop us,” said Anna Carter, who along with her husband, Ben, started selling their creation in late 2011.

The contraption looks like a bike caboose for kids; but rather than safety harnesses, the cart features a fold-away floor and a bar where leashes can be attached.

The idea is to follow city leash laws while still being able to ride your bike without risking your life (and those of others) by trying to hold a leash and pedal at the same time.

When a dog wants to run, the floor is folded up and the dog follows behind the bike within the confines of the cart. When Spot gets tired, the floor folds down and the dog can ride in the cart. Different models accommodate different sized dogs, and some models offer split floors so one dog can ride while the other runs. The whole cart is collapsible for storage.

Puprunners are built in Boise and sold online only at puprunners.com. The carts cost between $350-$500, and the company offers a line of accessories like removable sun mesh so you can trick out your dog’s ride.

Of course, ongoing construction along the Greenbelt might make finding an area to ride more challenging. The good news is that two projects are due to wrap up in early August: the Pioneer Corridor and the section across from the Boise State University campus. The bad news is a new project is about to close a mile-long section of the pathway.

The Lander Street to Willow Lane project will close the Greenbelt on the north side of the Boise River from Veterans Memorial Parkway, west to Willow Lane, beginning Thursday, Aug. 1.

Amy Stahl, community relations coordinator for the Boise Parks and Recreation Department, said the $300,000 project will replace the existing asphalt with concrete.

But because of the location, there are few detour options for Greenbelt users.

Stahl said officials are recommending that the public use the pathway on the south side of the river, through Garden City, to avoid State Street. Bikers and walkers can cross the river at the Boise River Recreation Park pedestrian bridge or by using the Veterans Memorial Parkway bridge.

The entire project is scheduled to be completed by early October.

My Uncle Dave’s ranch borders Jump Creek near Homedale and has a nice tree-lined section of creek bottom. The agricultural land provides ample seeds and food for all sorts of game animals. It is perfect bird hunting country—pheasant, quail, duck, geese and a host of other avian creatures are routinely spotted on the property.

No wonder it has been invaded by foreigners.

Beady-eyed genetic giants have taken over sections of his property— well, kind of. More like they flutter around and eat some of his corn; nonetheless, the invaders are not supposed to be here.

The intruders are Eurasian collared doves. They are found across the country and are quickly migrating in Canada as well. As the name implies, the doves are originally from Asia and Europe, but they have been on the invasive path for most of the past century. They had conquered Western Europe by the 1950s, the Bahamas by the 1970s, and are now found as far north as the Canada-Alaska border.

According to some sources, Eurasian collared doves were introduced to the Western Hemisphere when some escaped on an island in the Bahamas during a pet store burglary. A hurricane then transported them to Florida.

“They have steadily been marching across the country since then,” said Sal Palazzolo, from the Idaho Department of Fish and Game.

Eurasian collared doves are similar to the native mourning dove—so much so that people often don’t notice the difference. A dove is a dove. But on closer inspection, a collared dove has a black ring of feathers around its neck, it is usually lighter in color and has a squared tail. On average, collared doves are also bigger than mourning doves.

Being a hunter, I have always been interested in collared doves because of the open season that Fish and Game has placed on them. A hunter can bag as many as he or she wants and all IDFG asks is that an identifiable portion of the bird is left intact, otherwise it will count toward the mourning dove limit.

If hunting collared doves outside of dove season, officials will slap you with a poaching ticket if they can’t ID the bird—mourning doves are a federally protected species.

Without a bag limit, I have the potential to score a couple grass-fed, organic, free-range, hormone-free dinners in the off-season.

While Fish and Game officials would not openly talk smack about collared doves, the agency’s opinion of them is pretty easy to

ADAM ROSENLUND

guess based on the hunting rules.

Not being a pro in the invasive species wrangling game, I called for some backup.

I spoke with Jackson Landers, who wrote a book called Eating Aliens: One Man’s Adventures Hunting Invasive Animal Species. One of those species was collared doves.

“Hunting collared doves should be one part of our eradication efforts. It won’t be the whole answer, but it should be part of it,” Landers said.

“Wing-shooters will need to spend time watching both collared doves and mourning doves in flight before going hunting, especially when the mourning dove is not in season,” he added. “Their flight behavior is different, and with practice, a hunter can learn to tell the difference instantly in mid-air. Without practice, you might shoot the wrong species and earn yourself a fine from the game warden.”

In Eating Aliens, Landers does exactly that: scours the country for invasive species and eats them. The opening chapter is on giant iguanas in Florida and the book closes with pigs in Texas. It is a great read on just how much change invasive species can cause.

Landers proposes that hunting invasive species can be an effective form of eradication— just ask the carrier pigeon and the Dodo bird.

Personally, I hunt collared doves because it gives me another game animal to eat. But I am a little less ethical with them than with other game birds. Most hunters will let birds fly and shoot them on the wing, which increases the bird’s chance of survival and is considered

more sporting. I will shoot a collared dove while it’s sitting on a branch without a second thought. Why? I use my binoculars and positively identify it before stalking the bird. If it flies, I shoot.

If it doesn’t, I still shoot. My goal is eradication.

It doesn’t hurt that eating these doves is enjoyable.

“In my experience, one species of dove or pigeon tastes pretty much like every other species. If you like to eat mourning doves (which I do), then you will enjoy eating collared doves. Expect a rich, tightly grained red meat that has more in common with goose or beef than with chicken,” said Landers.

These doves might be getting a bad rap, however.

“Right now, the jury is still out on the biology of the Eurasian collared doves. We have yet to see a noticeable decline in the mourning dove population,” said Palazzolo. “Mourning doves are generalists; they will nest on the ground, in a shrub, in a tree. The Eurasian collared doves seem to be sticking to places near human habitation and not the forests.”

While the collared dove is not supposed to be here, neither are a lot of the things around us. Looking at the environment of the Treasure Valley, we can see a host of non-native species: honey bees, earthworms, dandelions, cheatgrass, bullfrogs, quail, pheasants, chukar, catfish, bass, crappie, bluegill, perch, walleye, German brown trout, Hungarian partridges and pigeons are all non-native species to the area. But no massive removal efforts are under way. In fact, most of the animals on that list are managed to keep populations steady and harvestable via hunting activities.

In most cases, introduced or invasive species are relegated to three categories: The first is “remove at all cost” invasive—like the feral swine that were found near CJ Strike Reservoir; the second is the “it would be cool if they were gone but we don’t have the budget to fight them right now” category. Carp, bullfrogs and the Eurasian collared doves seem to be in this category. The last category is the “introduced invader” type. Wild turkeys are a great example. They are non-native but can only be hunted during specific times of the year, with strict bag limits and licensing.

How we perceive—and treat—these aliens seems to say more about our behavior than theirs. “If we want them here, they are introduced; if we don’t, they are invasive” said Palazzolo. “Invasive and introduced is a matter of semantics.”

The trek to Hard Creek Lake near McCall is an easy summer escape.

HIGH-ALPINE BEAUTIES NEAR MCCALL About 20 minutes north of Brundage Mountain Resort near McCall is a splendid hike that explores two high-alpine beauties—Hard Creek Lake and Upper Hazard Lake. Although an easy hike, this trek is off the beaten path and offers solitude, great scenery and the opportunity to explore other nearby trails, including Granite Mountain Lookout, Twin Lakes, the two Grass Mountain Lakes, Lake Serene and Coffee Cup Lake.

Although the Corral-Blackwell Complex Fire of 1994 burned much of the forest near the area, both of the lakes are stunning. The smaller Hard Creek Lake is surrounded by gray snags, a sprinkling of green firs and numerous granite outcroppings. There are several places to set up camp for the night, HARD CREEK LAKE AND and the short hike distance UPPER HAZARD LAKE (3.2 miles out-and-back) and Trailhead directions: From easy elevation gain (600 feet) downtown McCall, drive west makes this outing an outstand5.5 miles on Highway 55. ing choice for families.

Continue 18.7 miles (the by trekking to the much larger road turns into an improved and equally impressive Upper gravel road at 3.8 miles) Hazard Lake, which is bordered to a small spur road. Turn to the south by the towering right into the Hard Creek Bruin Mountain.

The trail turns south and offers farreaching views, then descends 100 feet along a grassy hillside to a signed junction at 0.9 miles. The trail to the right continues south for another mile to a meadow in Hard Creek Basin.

To find Hidden Lake, turn left (east) at the junction and ascend a moderate grade weaving between an assortment of lichen-covered boulders. The route soon bends north below the steep, granite walls of an unnamed 7,975-foot peak. In midsummer, this section of trail is extremely scenic with wildflowers blooming trailside.

At 1.5 miles, make an easy ford of the outlet creek to arrive at the narrow Hidden Creek Lake. If you would like to continue your hike another three-quarters of a mile, follow the trail along the south side of the lake. The trail ascends a small hill and then descends to the 20-acre Upper Hazard Lake. Anglers will find brook and rainbow trout in both lakes.

WINESIPPER/DRINK WHITE WINE GESTALT

2011 BARON DE ROTHSCHILD COLLECTION BORDEAUX, $16.99 This semillon-dominant blend (60 percent) is an entry level wine from the group that includes the renowned first growth Chateau Lafite—and it shows.

The richest of the three, with honeyed melon and peach aromas which are lifted by light citrus and lemon zest, it is well balanced on the palate, with ripe apricot playing against tart melon and lime. This wine is a very good value.

2012 CADARETTA SBS, $22 This family owned winery has ties to Washington agriculture which go back more than 100 years. Their blend of 70 percent sauvignon blanc and 30 percent semillon has a nice, metallic edginess to the nose that’s laced with pineapple and candied peach aromas.

That pineapple, along with more tropical fruit flavors, comes through on the palate, while semillon adds a little richness to the middle.

2011 LEEUWIN ESTATE SIBLINGS, $21 Back in the ’70s, California wine icon Robert Mondavi identified Western Australia’s Margaret River region as possessing an ideal terroir for Bordeauxbased grape varieties.

This blend of 73 percent sauvignon blanc and 27 percent semillon is a testament to his vision.

It’s a crisp and refreshing wine with bright citrus aromas colored by lemon zest and mineral.

The palate is a lively mix of lemon and lime with an intriguing touch of white cheddar.

Restaurants get one chance to hit BW with their best shot.

PATR IC K S W EENEY

There’s nothing wrong with varietals— wines made from just one type of grape. But in parts of France (and the world), blends rule. Bordeaux reds are always a blend, with up to six different grapes. Some add flavor and aroma, while others contribute structure and depth. In the end, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. That’s true, as well, with Bordeaux whites, in which clean and crisp sauvignon blanc combines with the richer textures of semillon. Here are three great examples from three different regions.

FOOD/REVIEW

FRESH BETTY SPAGHETTI Passable pasta from franchise in training TARA MORGAN It’s easy to get deja vu driving down Eagle Road. Big box strip malls repeat endlessly, as if on a cartoon loop, and most of the adjacent chain restaurants are temples to mass-produced efficiency and portability.

But in the Fred Meyer strip mall just off Eagle Road at 1830 E. Fairview Ave. in Meridian, something different has sprouted up. Fresh Fresh Betty team member Courtney Britt scoops noodles.

FOOD/NEWS CLIMATE CHANGE AND LOCAL FOOD Under an overcast Saturday morning sky July 27, bright blue and red signs proclaiming “Climate Action: It’s Our Obligation” and “It’s Time to Cut Carbon” were taped to a table boasting equally eye-catching mounds of ripe tomatoes. A cluster of Boise Farmers Market shoppers paused to listen as local-food advocates discussed the intersection of local farming and climate change at a rally dubbed Producing Food, Reducing Carbon: An Event for People Who Grow and Eat Food.

“Probably nobody in our community deals with weather more than farmers; we are always checking the forecast,” said Meadowlark Farm owner Janie Burns. “Is it going to be good for planting? Is it going to rain? Is it going to snow? What’s the wind going to do? And so, when we think about the weather that’s just what’s happening today, sometimes we don’t pay attention much to those very small changes, those insidious changes that are happening in our climate.”

Weighing in on the topic, Burns was joined by Boise Democratic Sen. Cherie Buckner-Webb, a member of the Idaho Senate Agriculture Committee; Chance Requa, owner of Requa Farms, Inc.; Dave Krick, owner of Bittercreek Alehouse and Red Feather Lounge; and Greg Koenig, owner of Koenig Distillery.

Koenig discussed how recent subtle and not-so-subtle swings in temperature have affected local grapes. He said his 2010 and 2011 vintages started out cool and ended up ripening well, while his 2012 and 2013 vintages have been affected by “incredible heat waves.”

“These things are all very transparent in how they end up in the quality of wine,” said Koenig. “Now, that being said, how global warming affects a little winery in Idaho and whether or not we can make quality wine is really not as important as what is happening on the global scale as far as: How do we feed our planet?”

Koenig suggested solar power as an untapped local resource.

“We deal with sunlight all the time—wine is essentially bottled sunlight—and we live in this great state where it’s sunny all the time … and really don’t take advantage of solar enough,” said Koenig.

But most of the other speakers eschewed offering solutions in favor of issuing calls to action.

“We can no longer delay, we must take action now. As we know better, we’re compelled to do better,” said Buckner-Webb.

“The bottom line is that crops are at risk because of this climate change, and that’s important to farmers, but it should be important to you because what we do is what you eat,” said Burns.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): To add zest to mealtime, you might choose food that has been seasoned with red chili peppers, cumin or other piquant flavors.

Some chimpanzees have a similar inclination, which is why they like to snack on red fire ants. Judging from the astrological omens, I’m guessing you are currently in a phase when your attraction to spicy things is at a peak—not just for dinner but in other areas of your life, as well. I have a suggestion: Pursue rowdy fun with adventures that have metaphorical resemblances to red chili peppers, but stay away from those that are like red fire ants.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The 19th century English artist John Constable specialized in painting landscapes. The countryside near his home especially excited him.

He said, “The sound of water escaping from mill dams, willows, old rotten planks, slimy posts and brickwork, I love such things.

They made me a painter, and I am grateful.” Take a cue from Constable, Taurus. Spend quality time appreciating the simple scenes and earthy pleasures that nourish your creative spirit. Give your senses the joy of getting filled up with vivid impressions.

Immerse yourself in experiences that thrill your animal intelligence.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): This is Grand Unification Week for you Geminis. If your left hand has been at war with your right hand, it’s a perfect moment to declare a truce. If your head and heart have not been seeing eye to eye, they are ready to find common ground and start conspiring together for your greater glory. Are there any rips or rifts in your life? You will generate good fortune for yourself if you get to work on healing them.

Have you been alienated from an ally or at odds with a beloved dream or separated from a valuable resource? You have a lot of power to fix glitches like those.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In an episode of the TV show Twin Peaks, special agent Dale Cooper gives the following advice to his colleague Harry: “I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don’t plan it, don’t wait for it, just let it happen.” Now I’m passing on this advice to you, Cancerian. It’s a perfect time for you to try out this fun game. You are in a phase of your astrological cycle when you’ll be wise to intensify your commitment to selfcare... and deepen your devotion to making yourself feel good... and increase your artistry at providing yourself with everything you need to thrive.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Sergei Diaghilev was a Russian ballet impresario who founded Ballets Russes, one of the 20th century’s

30 | JULY 31 – AUGUST 6, 2013 | BOISEweekly C L A S S I F I E D S

great ballet companies. At one point in his career, he met French playwright Jean Cocteau. Diaghilev dared Cocteau to write a piece for a future Ballets Russes production. “Astonish me!” he said. It took seven years, but Cocteau met the challenge. He created Parade, a ballet that also featured music by Eric Satie and sets by Pablo Picasso. Now let’s pretend I’m Diaghilev and you’re Cocteau.

Imagine that I’ve just told you, “Astonish me!” How will you respond? What surprising beauty will you come up with? What marvels will you unleash?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Since 1948, the chemical known as warfarin has been used as a pesticide to poison rats. Beginning in 1954, it also became a medicine prescribed to treat thrombosis and other blood ailments in humans. Is there anything in your own life that resembles warfarin?

A person or an asset or an activity that can either be destructive or constructive, depending on the situation? The time will soon be right for you to employ that metaphorical version of warfarin in both capacities. Make sure you’re very clear about which is which.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “My heart was a hysterical, unreliable organ,” wrote Vladimir Nabokov in his novel Lolita. We have all gone through phases when we could have uttered a similar statement. But I doubt that this is one of those times for you, Libra. On the contrary. I suspect your heart is very smart right now—poised and lucid and gracious. In fact, I suggest you regard the messages coming from your heart as more trustworthy than any other part of you—wiser than your head and your gut and your genitals put together.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The Holy Grail of skateboarding tricks is called the 1080. To pull it off, a skateboarder has to do three complete 360-degree revolutions in mid-air and land cleanly. No one had ever pulled it off until 12-year-old Tom Schaar did it in 2012. Since then, two other teenage boys have managed the same feat. But I predict that a Scorpio skateboarder will break the record sometime soon, managing a 1260, or three and a half full revolutions. Why? First, because your tribe is unusually geared to accomplish peak performances right now. And second, you have a knack for doing complex maneuvers that require a lot of concentration.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Can you think of ways that you have been colonized? Have any powerful institutions filled up your brain with ideas and desires that aren’t in alignment with your highest values? For instance, has your imagination gotten imprinted

with conditioning that makes you worry that your body’s not beautiful enough or your bank account’s not big enough or your style isn’t cool enough? If so, Sagittarius, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to get uncolonized.

There has rarely been a better time than now to purge any brainwashing that puts you at odds with your deepest self.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): An old Chinese poem tells us that “the true measure of a mountain’s greatness is not its height but whether it is charming enough to attract dragons.” You and I know there are no such things as dragons, so we can’t take this literally. But what if we treat it as we might a fairy tale? I suggest we draw a metaphorical meaning from it and apply it to your life. Let’s say that you shouldn’t be impressed with how big and strong anything is; you shouldn’t give your mojo to people or institutions simply because they have worldly power. Rather, you will be best served by aligning yourself with what’s mysterious and fabulous. You’re more likely to have fun and generate good fortune for yourself by seeking out stories that appeal to your soul instead of your ego.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The questions you have been asking aren’t terrible. But they could be formulated better. They might be framed in such a way as to encourage life to give you crisp insights you can really use rather than what you’ve been getting lately, which are fuzzy conjectures that are only partially relevant.

Would you like some inspiration?

See if any of these inquiries help hone your spirit of inquiry. 1. What kind of teacher or teaching do you need the most right now? 2.

What part of you is too tame, and what can you do about it? 3. What could you do to make yourself even more attractive and interesting to people than you already are? 4. What is the pain that potentially has the most power to awaken your dormant intelligence?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “There are some enterprises in which a careful disorderliness is the true method.” So says Ishmael, the hero of Herman Melville’s 19th century novel Moby Dick. He is ostensibly referring to whale hunting, which is his job, but some modern critics suggest he’s also talking about the art of storytelling. I suspect his statement applies to a certain enterprise you are currently engaged in, as well. Can you wrap your mind and heart around the phrase “careful disorderliness,” Pisces? I hope so, because I think it’s the true method. Here are some other terms to describe it: benevolent chaos; strategic messiness; purposeful improvisation; playful experiments.
