POLITICIANS DO THE DARNDEST THINGS It’s hard to wrap your head around why politicians do the things they do. If it’s not a Noble Peace Prize-winning president begging to airstrike somebody, it’s the so-called “party of small government” threatening a government shutdown so it can consolidate its hold on government. The headscratchingest bit of politics in Boise these days is the much publicized anti-panhandling push euphemistically referred to as the Civil Sidewalks Ordinance. Controversial from the outset, the measure has been criticized as heavy-handed, unnecessary and legally indefensible. That last part is where groups like the American Civil Liberties Union of Idaho come in, more or less promising that Boise will find itself in court should the ordinance pass. That’s no surprise. Boise’s sit-lie ordinance—so called because it prohibits sitting on city-owned infrastructure or lying within 10 feet of a building entrance or exit, or parking lot—is similar to measures in other cities like San Francisco. In that community, merchants reported that the ordinance had “not been effective.” Citywide, more than half of all citations were given to just four repeat offenders. Instead of making sidewalks more “civil,” San Fran’s anti-panhandling ordinance did little but generate paperwork for the police. At worst, these laws are lawsuit magnets. The ACLU sued the city of Worcester, Mass., over its sitlie ordinance in May, and Springfield, Ill., is currently fighting a suit filed against its panhandling ban. Cities around the country have seen their panhandling prohibitions successfully challenged in court. Chicago even had to pay out. From that precedent alone, Boise’s sit-lie experiment looks like a big risk; most panhandling-related suits rest on the First Amendment. Good luck beating that in court. Boise Weekly freelancer Carissa Wolf explores the potential legal ramifications of the Civil Sidewalks Ordinance on Page 7 this week. Talking with homeless advocates, representatives from the ACLU of Idaho and policy makers, the piece reveals some surprising facts about how much the city has spent on legal fees in relation to homeless issues. Most surprising: while city leaders are well aware that similar measures have often caused more problems than they solved, they’re still committed to going forward. Commence headscratching. —Zach Hagadone

BILL COPE/OPINION
NO ROBES, NO HOODS But they have a dream, too
Dear reader, play along with me for a few minutes and pretend you are a right-winger. And by right-winger, I don’t mean you’re simply conservative in matters fiscal, or that you vote GOP because that party is supportive of your chamber of commerce sensibility, or that you oppose the Democrat vision of what America should be mostly because your husband or boss or preacher opposes it. No, I mean a real, piss-and-vinegar, obsessed, unashamed right-winger. Pretend there is not the tiniest corner of your consciousness that is not firmly right wing. For instance, you think any government effort to assist its citizens is as unnatural as homosexuality and mixed marriages. You think any decision that might touch upon your life should be left to the states, unless your state is controlled by liberals, in which case it should be left to Justice Antonin Scalia’s Supreme Court. You think it’s your birthright to own any weapon you can get your hands on, and you have no doubt in your mind who you’ll be needing it for. And above all, you hate President Barack Obama. Hate ’im, hate ’im, hate ’im! At first, you thought you were fooling people when you said it’s because he’s... oh, pick a reason... a socialist, a fascist, a Muslim, a Kenyan, a dictator, a weak leader, too corrupt, too uncompromising, too compromising, the worst president of all time, the man who destroyed America as we know it. All those, and more, have been used to explain why the fringe hate Obama so intensely. But of course, you know those are all just interchangeable epithets you pick from the babbling right-wing thought stream, which provide them mostly to give you cover for the real reason you hate him. You know none of those accusations are true, don’t you? You know exactly why you hate him, and you’re not fooling anyone anymore. You’re not even trying to disguise it anymore, are you? It’s spilling out all over the place, isn’t it? The real reason. The dams are all busting at once, and the flood is just what you’ve been waiting for. Finally, it’s all coming together. George Zimmerman’s exoneration for justifiably murdering one of “them.” The blessings of “Stand Your Ground” and the Supremes’ nullifying of that damned Civil Rights Act. The stopping and frisking of those who should be stopped and frisked. The move by your favorite states to stem the vote of those for whom voting rights were a travesty in the first place. The shifting of the rising rightwing stars away from even pretending they appreciate the presence of you-know-who in our midst. Yes, it’s all coming together. You’ve waited 50 years for this, since those you-know-who’s got their equal rights way back when. And now it’s here. Vindication. Pay-back time. Any day now, you’ll be able to say the whole “N” word with your head held high. WWW. B OISEWEEKLY.C O M
U Ah, excuse me, dear reader, for getting you to take part in this. If I thought I had any real right-wingers reading this, I wouldn’t have asked you to pretend you’re one of them. But I am not delusional enough to think I have any right-wingers in the audience that I can address directly, not when they could be listening to Glenn Beck or Sean Hannity or on the Internet calling Obama (or Trayvon Martin, or Al Sharpton, or Oprah) every vile thing they can think to say under the veil of anonymity. But lately—especially since the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech—I’ve been thinking a lot about this. As you’ve heard me say, I regard race relations as central to the entire American story. To consider what we are as a people and not examine it through the stark lens of black and white is like reading War and Peace with the parts about the Napoleonic Wars left out. To one degree or another, everything about America involves the continuing conflict and intermittent resolutions of being brought together first as slave and master, then equals. Our history, our politics, our religions, our music, our literature, our language, the clothes we wear, the food we eat, our future—every facet of our shared culture is haunted by some lingering element of this collision of races. And now, with the advent of Obama—after decades of relative calm and remarkable advancement—the angry old tribal gods are rearing their ugly heads. Over the past 50 years, those who could not abide with racial equality fled the party that had nurtured minority rights to fruition, and combined their opposition under the banner of the other party. For the most part, they reined in their animus with polite language and endless platitudes. But the longer they have had to swallow the reality of a black president, the more resentful they have become. Resentful and vicious. The pretense of civility, the veneer that temporarily contained their spite is melting away. And now it must be asked, How far do they intend to take it? So, dear reader, bear with me. A few more seconds of pretending you are them, and you can go back to being a decent human being. U What is your goal, you right-winger? What do you envision as the result of this new round of savagery? Would you be content just to spit out “n——” any time you felt the urge? Or to keep you happy, must it go all the way back to the old ways? The segregation ways. The lynching ways. The old war with blood running from Africa to the water cannons and attack dogs of Alabama. Is this the future you wish upon your children? Upon your nation? Have you thought much about where this is heading? Or does any of this have anything at all to do with thought?

Like a lot of people, I label my life as before 9/11 and after 9/11. Our government does the same. It has passed laws to ensure the country won’t ever be able to return to the trivialities of, say, the Clinton administration, when all we had to worry about was what to do with the federal surplus and whether or not Monica Lewinsky had committed an impeachable act. Instead, we are at war, and we’ll be at war as long as someone somewhere on the planet can be accused of terrorism. The destruction of the World Trade Center towers set off an autoimmune response that caused America to attack its own institutions and people. For ordinary citizens, life has been deprived of content—in both senses of the word—as liberty has been traded for security, a national sense of adventure has been traded for fear, and economic justice has been traded for the shell games of an insecure and ethically illiterate financial oligarchy. For the troops who died or were damaged in Afghanistan and Iraq, the tradeoffs were more literal. As a child of the ’60s, I’ve wondered why more young people didn’t protest two wars that were clearly optional. A legal system was in place to deal with the criminals who took down the towers, and letting it operate would have cost less and shown more light on the whys and wherefores of their crime than the wars have. Many more Americans— not to mention Iraqis and Afghans—would be alive, and Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay and Bradley (Chelsea) Manning and Edward Snowden wouldn’t come up whenever we mention America, truth and fair play in the same sentence. Osama bin Laden, whoever he was and whomever he worked for, succeeded beyond his fondest expectations. He made the world safe for mindless fundamentalism in its least attractive Muslim, Christian and nationalist forms. Empathy and forgiveness, the ability to see shades of gray, the knowledge that every human heart contains both good and evil, and the belief that humanity need not exist in a permanent state of war—all these fell with the towers. It didn’t have to be that way. We lost some office space in a country that had plenty of empty office space, not all of it in Detroit. We lost 3,000 citizens, but we lose 10 times that many each year to auto accidents. We lose another 30,000 each year to cirrhosis of the liver and alcohol-related cancer. We lose halfa-million each year to tobacco. These deaths, too, leave behind griefwrecked loved ones, yet as a nation, we don’t get much upset about them. We don’t hunt down and kill the people we see as responsible for them. We don’t spend trillions of dollars making sure that nothing remotely similar can ever happen again. We tough things out, accept that death is part of life, mourn and return to the concerns of the still-living.
We weren’t that emotionally tough when the towers went down. Instead of withdrawing into cold adult grief, we struck out in hot blind childish rage. It would have been a good time to demonstrate our nation’s Christian heritage. We could have turned the other cheek, not so we could be victimized again, but so the world could have seen how stupid, brutal and soulless you have to be to destroy two tall buildings full of people who have done you no harm. But we got stupid and brutal ourselves, invading the wrong countries, killing far more than 3,000 civilians, and installing the wrong people in power. The world’s gaze shifted from a criminal act to the knee-jerk realpolitik of bumbling empire. It would have been a good time to stand on our honor and our traditions and our reverence for the rule of law. There is little glory in being a criminal when your victim turns away from you and, with simple dignity, begins to repair the damage you’ve done. Eventually you become an embarrassment to any country that will tolerate you on its soil. And eventually, you start going over and over the crime you’ve committed, and it begins to lose its ability to make you feel good about yourself. Self-consciousness creeps in and ruins self-righteousness. An act committed in God’s name begins to look like something God might have some trouble with. Instead, we gave Osama bin Laden the shining status of a warrior. Our response indicated he was a worthy opponent when he could have been brushed off as a Gollum, a thing made foul and twisted and sick by power. We would have saved a lot of blood and treasure in the process, and Bin Laden might have died unmourned rather than acclaimed as a martyr. Look at what happened to the Serbian war criminal Slobodan Milosevic, dead in his International Court of Justice jail cell, remembered not for his service to his country but for his venality, corruption, ignorance and sadism. Look what happened to the disgraced Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, who spent his golden years shunned by his former colleagues, fighting extradition to Spain, escaping into dementia when faced with the honest grief of his murdered victims’ families. There are enough parallels between America and ancient Rome that I’ve wished we had come up with the incantation that would have caused the emperor and Stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius to appear, in full regalia, on the steps of the Supreme Court, in August 2001. The Court, following recent precedent, could have installed him as president, and this country would have had a leader who knew firsthand the horrors of war, as well as the power of forbearance and the subtle uses of moral authority. That’s not the leader we had on Sept. 11, 2001. It’s a crying shame that we didn’t. WWW. B O I S E WE E KLY. C O M

THE PRICE OF PANHANDLING
New figures show Idaho’s hunger problem.
Boise City Council must weigh the costs of clamping down on aggressive solicitation
USDA: MORE THAN 14 PERCENT OF IDAHO HOUSEHOLDS STRUGGLE WITH HUNGER
CARISSA WOLF “How do we prevent homelessness?” That was a central question at a recent Idaho Coalition for the Homeless panel discussion (BW, Citydesk, “Legal Experts Remind Boise Homeless Coalition to Be Vigilant, Vocal,” Aug. 7, 2013), focusing on new efforts at Boise City Hall to combat panhandling. “What we’re dealing with is a balance of rights. We have a right to solicit and we have a right of unobstructed passage,” said Boise City Councilman David Eberle, who noted the proposals grew out of complaints from police, who said there was little they could do to prevent what they called “aggressive” panhandling until an assault occurred. Just who balances the costs of homelessness depends on how Eberle and his colleagues cast their votes Tuesday, Sept. 17, when the City Council is expected to weigh two proposals aimed at restricting aggressive panhandling and “pedestrian obstruction”— a term proponents use to describe what happens when a resident or business owner opens their door to find a homeless person camped out on the sidewalk. The outcome could ramp up legal expenses. “We still don’t understand why the city seems determined to follow a course that many devoted homeless advocates warn will be counterproductive and that will assuredly result in expensive litigation,” American Civil Liberties Union of Idaho Executive Director Monica Hopkins wrote in an open letter to City Council members. Proponents say that failure of the stricter measures might mean dwindling consumer activity at downtown businesses and/or more incidents of crime. But homeless rights advocates say passage of the proposals would cost Boiseans their constitutional freedoms and ultimately inflate the city’s legal bills. “It seems like this is going to be the third installment in a trilogy. And I hope it is just a trilogy,” ACLU of Idaho attorney Ritchie Eppink said. Past city actions on homeless issues yielded two lawsuits: one following a crackdown on camping and another resulting in a judgment forcing the city to pay $1 million dollars to Community House (BW, News, “When Partners Attack,” Oct. 12, 2005). “The jury’s verdict was crystal clear: The city violated federal civil rights laws, WWW.

Monica Hopkins and Ritchie Eppink, both from ACLU of Idaho, say Boise’s proposed anti-panhandling ordinances will be more legal trouble than they’re worth.
discriminated against women and children and abridged homeless people’s religious freedom,” Eppink said. “The city’s legal track record on homelessness issues should be deeply troubling to everyone in our community.” The proposed ordinances packed the City Council chambers with impassioned testimony for and against the measures at a July 30 hearing (BW, Citydesk, “Boise City Council Mulls Anti-Panhandling Ordinances, Following 3-Plus Hours of Testimony,” July 31, 2013). A handful of downtown shopkeepers spoke of aggressive panhandlers deterring would-be customers, while former panhandlers spoke of how street begging pulled them from a desperate financial situation. “The city taking it on—it’s the right thing to do,” Eberle said of funding programs that help get the homeless off the street. But Boise Weekly found that annual efforts to curb homelessness are easily rivaled by recent legal fees spent to defend the city against lawsuits filed as a result of decisions surrounding homeless issues. BW filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the city of Boise asking for legal fee expenditure reports related to the 2012 Community House court decision. The city responded Sept. 6, with the legal department saying those records don’t exist. Legal bills go straight from attorneys to the city’s insurance carrier and officials don’t know how much the city spent on legal fees in the Community House case, nor could they give BW an estimate. “When you can’t figure out how much you spent on litigation, you probably spent a little more than you should have,” Eppink said. City of Boise spokesman Adam Park said the Community House lawsuit tab that some previous media reports estimated would top $3 million was picked up by the city’s insurer. “If that’s the case, I hope the city has a good insurer,” Eppink said. “I don’t go
around driving thinking, ‘OK, if I hit someone, my insurance is going to cover it.’” The estimated $3 million Community House bill—plus legal fees associated with current litigation stemming from the city’s clampdown on camping—would top Boise’s annual spending on homeless intervention and prevention. In public records obtained from a FOIA request, BW found that the bulk of funding toward homeless prevention and intervention in Boise comes from the federal government. In fiscal year 2011, the city spent $241,056 on Allumbaugh House operations, was awarded about $1.9 million in federal grants and reported a balance of $709,804 in program income. Jim Birdsall, manager of the city’s Housing and Community Development Division, estimates that the city appropriates between $600,000 to $700,000 from Boise’s budget to the administration, coordination and implementation of programs—a fiscal commitment he said is unusual for a city the size of Boise. Two days after the city complied with BW’s request for homeless prevention and intervention expenditure reports, the city’s public information office issued a press release announcing the award of a $1,023,366 federal Housing and Urban Development grant to assist homelessness programs. It’s an annual, renewable award that usually doesn’t come with a press announcement, but combined with funds from other federal programs, Birdsall said it helps put a sizeable dent in homelessness-related expenses. “I think people would be surprised how much money is being directed to address homelessness,” Birdsall said. Birdsall said the outcomes of such programs are difficult to quantify. An annual census sends volunteers to the streets for a one-night, January headcount of the city’s homeless. But weather and 8 the size of the volunteer pool all affect
Late last month, Boise Weekly reported on the myths and misconceptions of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which in Idaho still goes by the Idaho Food Stamp Program moniker. In that article, we reported 100,000 households in Idaho rely on food stamps. Since then, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service released new data finding one in seven households in Idaho struggled with hunger from 2010 to 2012. That ranks Idaho at 24th in the nation. According to the USDA’s report, it’s on par with states like Colorado, Montana and Washington. Nationwide nearly 50 million people lived in households considered food insecure in 2012—meaning they couldn’t afford an adequate diet at all times. “[Those numbers] are a bit higher than the years before, but we would have expected it to be a lot worse if it weren’t for our Food Stamp Program responding in an incredible way,” Kathy Gardner of the Idaho Hunger Relief Task Force told Boise Weekly. Idaho’s percentage of food-insecure households went up 2.7 percent from the 2007 to 2009 period—a trend followed by all but five states in the country. These new food insecurity numbers come as members of Congress prepare to return from their August recess. The House is expected to introduce a bill that would strip $40 billion in funding from SNAP. “Given the level of food insecurity that continues to persist in this state, Congress needs to stop asking how much to cut from SNAP and other low-income programs and start acting on what is going to help struggling families,” Gardner said in a press release. Current SNAP monthly benefits average the equivalent of $4.50 a day per person, or $135 a month. The Institute of Medicine conducted a study arguing that’s not enough for families to afford a healthy diet. And in November, temporary benefit increases approved in the 2009 Recovery Act will end, meaning $36 less in monthly food stamps for a family of four. Among the 14 percent of Idaho households considered to be food insecure in this new data, 5.3 percent had “very low food security,” meaning they had even more severe problems, experiencing deeper hunger, more cutbacks and skipping meals on a more regular basis for both adults and children. It’s especially a problem among the elderly, 8.5 percent of whom live below the poverty line. —Jessica Murri

PROTECTED LANDS SPUR GROWTH City Club speaker challenges Boise to maintain natural spaces HARRISON BERRY Every day, Idaho faces the challenge of what to do with its protected wild lands. Whether it’s dredge-mining riverbeds, exploring a vast network of trails and campsites or protecting homeowners in the Wood River Valley from forest fires, managing the balance between the economic, recreational and environmental values of Idaho’s natural spaces is an tangle of competing interests. During his City Club-hosted Idaho Environmental Forum lecture Thursday, Sept. 5, at the Owyhee Hotel, Ray Rasker of Headwaters Economics, made the case that natural spaces are more beneficial to economies like Boise’s than the raw stuff hidden beneath—as long as a central principle of economics is applied: “What matters is that value is created and people are rewarded for their work,” he said. Rasker broke down the question of whether protected, public lands in the American West benefit local economies to a number of factors, including history, the health of national and global economies, a town or city’s access to an airport, the education level of its workforce, access to technology and the local attitude towards growth. If the conditions are right, Rasker said, Boise might experience amenities migration—an influx of new residents relocating to be closer to work and recreation. “People move to places they once visited as tourists,” he said. This phenomenon is more plausible than ever. Internet-based commerce has freed a lot of workers from cities where major firms are headquartered to perform their jobs in places of their choosing. Some of these pilgrims start companies of their own. “Some people are footloose,” Rasker told the audience. Less loose is how they’ve economically impacted communities to which they’ve relo-
cated. Amenities migration has turned many Western U.S. communities into tech hubs: In Bend, Ore., easy access to resorts at Mt. Bachelor, Sun River and Black Butte has made it a destination for companies like BendBroadband, G5, Agere Pharmaceuticals and Element 1. In Rasker’s hometown of Bozeman, Mont., the great outdoors have lured businesses like Schedulicity and RightNow Technologies. According to a map by Vizual Statistix that made the rounds on the Internet, some parts of Idaho are among the most isolated in the U.S., but that depends on what’s meant by isolation. Boiseans are a short distance from multiple ski resorts including Bogus Basin, Tamarack and Brundage Mountain. Year-round recreation opportunities include mountain biking and hiking trails, whitewater rafting and kayak parks, camping, fishing and hunting. Those opportunities may or may not be why high-tech, medical or other industries which employ skilled and educated workforces—with luminaries like Hewlett Packard, Micron and 2AI—have feathered nests in the Treasure Valley, but their employees have been a part of the push to preserve the Boise Foothills viewshed. In 2011, the Hillside to Hollow Coalition successfully lobbied to preserve a 59-acre parcel known as Harrison Hollow. The next year, the city of Boise purchased 154 acres west of
Collister Drive. In June, the Boise City Council appropriated $1.9 million in funds to purchase 260 acres near Bogus Basin Road. More city acquisitions of Foothills lands may be in the works. “People are voting with their dollars,” said Rasker. Rasker’s research has drawn a correlation between protected lands and higher income, but the economics of that correlation are murky. More certain is the fact that cities like Boise have lower costs of living than Silicon Valley: Living in Boise is less expensive and the quality of life is higher than in major cities. “There’s a unique combination of amenities and cost of living,” Rasker said. Perpetuating the cycle of amenities migration is education, which primes economic pumps with a steady flow of educated workers. The presence of numerous colleges and universities in the Treasure Valley, like Boise State University, the College of Idaho and College of Western Idaho Rasker described as “critical” to Boise’s continued economic strength. Education continues to be a hot topic on the local and state levels in Idaho, but Rasker says maintaining the protected status of public lands should be a component in any growing community’s portfolio. “We have a wild country and an advanced economy,” he said.
the snapshot’s results. What Birdsall does know: City efforts, federal grant money and community partnerships help shelter 300 individuals and families in low-income housing. But there are never enough roofs to go around and there’s never enough money. And Boise’s homeless can’t afford the costs of the proposed ordinances either, home-
less advocates say. Some fear passage of the measures would entangle the ill and people with disabilities in the criminal justice system. Others worry passage of proposals similar to ones adopted by other cities—which showed questionable, if any results—wouldn’t serve as a deterrent and would trample on everyone’s First Amendment rights. But Eberle said the ordinances are a start.
“Whether this achieves that or not, I don’t know. I don’t know any other way than to see what happens over a relatively short period of time,” Eberle said. With legal action all but assured, passage would come with a high price, Hopkins said. “We’ll see what the courts say,” Eberle said. “You don’t make progress in this world without a lawsuit or two.”

MIKE MOROSKI On his game GEORGE PRENTICE
Most people know that you were a fine football player but I understand that you were also an excellent baseball player. I had the same coach for baseball and football, and I’ll never forget the day that I was scheduled to pitch and my coach had to tell me that my sister had been killed in a car accident. I still think of my coach. What does he say? I was a 20-year-old kid. When the culture is right, there’s something special about college athletics that’s conducive to growth and nurturing. And that means dealing with reality, and sometimes that reality includes tragedy. Yet the media is filled with stories about carpetbagger college coaches who come and go as quickly as the money does, or college football programs that are more trouble than they’re worth. Coaches that hop from team to team for enormous amounts of money: That’s not me. I routinely say that football is sometimes well deserved of its bad image and some guys should be controlled more or disciplined more soundly. Having said that, the vast majority of coaches that I’ve ever met are really good people and into it for the right reasons. Tell me about throwing a touchdown pass to Jerry Rice for the 49ers in 1986.

We were playing Green Bay in Milwaukee and we were behind. Coach Walsh said, “Let’s go to the two-minute drill, no huddles.” He was fantastic. I never felt more confident as a player. It was a short crossing route and we found a way to win that game. How do you recruit for a College of Idaho team that doesn’t exist? The conversation starts with the academic component. College of Idaho is a small laboratory, but we’re getting you ready to do big things. This year, I’m educating people about C of I. I already realize that Idaho is football country. But a fair amount of football talent regularly leaves Idaho. Somebody speculated that there are about 100 Idaho kids playing college football outside of the state. And that’s tough on Boise State. They want to have a local flare, but their job today is to recruit the best athletes from across the country. They like Idaho kids, but there is a finite number on Boise State’s roster. University of Idaho is limited, Idaho State is limited. We aren’t limited. You know [Boise State University] Coach Chris Petersen very well [the two coached

When you meet Mike Moroski, the first two things you’ll notice are his height (6 feet 5 inches) and a smile that is almost as wide as he is tall. The 56-year-old Moroski said he gets his height from his mom but his athletic prowess from both mom and dad (she ran track and played tennis, he was an All-American basketball player). After excelling as quarterback for the University of California at Davis football team in the 1970s, Moroski was drafted into the National Football League by the Atlanta Falcons and eventually played for the Houston Oilers and San Francisco 49ers before retiring in 1986. Moroski returned to UC Davis as a football coach and stayed there for 15 years until earlier this year, when he became the head football coach for the College of Idaho—guiding its first gridiron program since 1977. This version of the Coyotes will play its first game in 2014.
together at UC Davis], but those who don’t know him see him as a bit of an enigma. The perception of a big-time football coach isn’t always great either—they sound arrogant, they’re untouchable or lots of things in between. What’s disarming about Coach Pete is that he seems like a great guy, really loves his job and seems like he’s not always looking for the next biggest paycheck. And that’s him. He’s extremely competitive and has very high standards. There’s something that’s noticeably refreshing about him. You still need to build a staff. I still don’t have a defensive coordinator, but I’ll have one by January. I already have an offensive coordinator; I’ll have one other main assistant, some part-timers and volunteers. How many students have you recruited? Fifty-five will begin this fall and 50 more will come in next year. Do you want to make your conference’s playoffs by a particular year? I’ve really stayed away from that. It can take you off track and then you start worrying about the wrong things. If we’re doing this right, there should be a thirst for knowledge and a desire to be good in every single area. Our student athletes should be fully engaged so that by their second or third year, they’re working on an internship for life beyond college. We need to be on our game.

You never know what you’ll find under the simple white tents at Hyde Park Street Fair.
FRIDAY-SUNDAY SEPT. 13-15 Better art through democracy.
a fairly great time HYDE PARK STREET FAIR
WEDNESDAY SEPT. 11 holy grail THE CHARM SCHOOL FEAST III Somewhere in the bowels of Central Europe, there’s a quaint village tucked in the shadow of a tall, snow-capped mountain. It’s a repository of Baroque architecture and picturesque churches with red tile roofs. Smack dab in the middle is a stone castle, home to King Arthur’s Buffet and Joustery, where the burg’s beefiest charge each other, lances drawn, in a dusty rodeo pit while tourists chow down on whole rotisserie chickens. OK, so The Charm School’s Feast III doesn’t have the cheese factor of King Arthur’s, but there’s something vaguely medieval about artists taking the stage to compete for cash and glory before a horde of beer-swilling patrons seated at long tables at the Visual Arts Collective. This go-around’s lineup includes the likes of Dan “Sir Kay” Costello, Erin “Hrothgar” Nelson, Kelsey “The Green Knight” Green, Wes “Mordred” Malvini and six others who will each get a few minutes on stage to regale the public with their artistic ambitions. The winner of Feast II, Erin Mallea, will present an update on her winning project, Contact With Mystery. For the uninitiated, Feasts work like this: Attendees pay $20 in advance or $25 at the door, grab some food and a ballot, and take in the presenting artists’ proposals for what they would do with a grant ranging between $400 and $1,000 (depending on attendance). Afterwards, diners cast their ballots and the winning artist is announced. Like King Arthur’s, Feast III offers food, beer and stiff competition for riches and bragging rights. Unlike the joustery, the violence knob has been turned all the way down to zero so you can be a patron of the arts with none of the bloodshed. 6-8 p.m. $20 advance, $25 door.

Past the quaint storefronts and picturesque homes lining 13th Street in Hyde Park, and nestled at the base of the rolling Foothills, lies Camel’s Back Park—one of the city’s favorite parks and the center of the area’s most color ful community celebrations, the Hyde Park Street Fair. Celebrating its 34th year, the fair brings families and the creative classes together for three days of music, art, crafts and assorted merrymaking Friday, Sept. 13-Sunday, Sept. 15. After checking out the wares from a vast assortment of local crafters and vendors, kick back for live music running all day throughout the event. This year’s highlights include Voice of Reason and a special reunion of Boise’s own Kamphire Collective (see Noise News, Page 16) on Friday, Sherpa and Dave Andrews Band on Saturday, and Thomas Paul and New Transit on Sunday. Admission is free, but bring a cash stash for savory delights (giant turkey leg, anyone?). Since parking is already limited in the North End, organizers ask that attendees look for other ways to get there—hint: Bikes are always a great option. Friday, Sept. 13, 4-9:45 p.m.; Saturday, Sept. 14, 10 a.m.-9:45 p.m.; Sunday, Sept. 15, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. FREE. Camel’s Back Park, 1200 W. Heron St., Boise, 208-918-1038, northend.org.
bid on weekend escapes or assorted adventures during the silent auction, but when the live auction gets going it’s all about the food. Up on the auction block are opportunities to have participating chefs cook a gourmet meal for you and several guests in your own home. Winning bidders are suddenly going to have a lot of friends dropping some not-so-subtle hints. To make things a little more fun, this year’s event is a ’20s-themed affair, meaning that ticket-holders are invited to wear 1920s era attire rather than tuxes and gowns. The $100-per-person ticket isn’t pocket change, but the event is the largest fundraiser of the year for

chicago is the new black CHICAGO Chicago is known by many for its pizza and wind. But Chicago is so much more. It’s the name of a 2002 movie starring Rene Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones, in which prisoners Roxie Hart (Zellweger) and Velma Kelly (Zeta-Jones) try to sing and dance their way out of the hangman’s noose. It was named one of the “Best 25 Movie Musicals of All Time”— it won the 2003 Oscar for Best Picture—as well as one of “The 20 Most Overrated Movies of All Time.” There’s more. Chicago the movie was based on Chicago the 1970s Broadway musical—choreographed by the godfather of jazz hands, Bob Fosse. Oh, wait... there’s even more. While the film was called “overrated” by more than a few critics, Chicago the musical closed on Broadway in the late ’70s but was revived in the late ’90s. But, wait. There’s one more thing: You don’t have to go to New York to see Chicago. The stupendously successful musical will overtake the Morrison Center Friday, Sept. 13-Sunday, Sept. 15. Hear and see the musical dance numbers like “All That Jazz,” “Me and My Baby,” “When You’re Good to Mama” and more, of course, that helped make the revival of Chicago the “longest-running American musical in Broadway history.” Now, that’s all. Friday, Sept. 13, 8 p.m.; Saturday, Sept. 14, 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.; Sunday, Sept. 15, 1 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. $38-$58, Morrison Center, 2201 W. Cesar Chavez Lane, 208-426-1609, mc.boisestate.edu.

Each year in the Treasure Valley, hundreds of families face diagnoses of childhood cancer. To help relieve some of the stress these families have to deal with, Boisean Dustin Simpson decided to throw a concert with proceeds going to families facing these difficult circumstances. Thus, Baldapalooza was born. Held in Merrill Park in Eagle Friday, Sept. 14, Baldapalooza brings together three popular artists—Midas Whale, Ryan Innes and Amy Whitcomb—from TV’s The Voice for a night of music in the spirit of charity. Local sounds will come from Waking Jordan and Fictionist. Events get going at 4 p.m. and last throughout the evening. Bring the kids and let volunteers from Boise State University watch them as they play in the kids zone while you sip on wine and beer. Everyone can satisfy their hunger with eats from Costa Vida. Be sure to bring your own blankets and chairs. With extended hospital stays due to treatment, children with cancer and their families can practically live in the hospital. Baldapalooza proceeds go toward programs at St. Lukes Regional Medical Center. Money will also create food funds for parents of sick children who miss meals due to hospital visits. Advanced tickets cost $20 for general admission or $50 for VIP admission, which includes a chance to meet the performers, three drink tickets and appetizers. Only 50 VIP tickets will be sold, so get them early. Get the whole family in—up to eight people—for $100. Tickets can be bought online, or—if any are left—at the gate for $30. 4-9 p.m. $20-$100.

That’s because you weren’t the recipient of Hypertheticals: 50 Questions for Insane Conversations, a card game for adults bent on exploring shared values by posing tough questions. Would you rather spend 10 minutes on the moon or a year in Europe with a living stipend? Is pulling a rabbit out of a hat using real magic more impressive than Einstein? Do you allow a super-intelligent gorilla to sign with the Oakland Raiders? Author Chuck Klosterman has written 50 such questions, printed them onto cards perfect for long car trips, birthdays—the game is sure to beat out the novelty baconflavored beer—and the holidays.

The Foreigner plays with mistaken identity in a comedy that rises above mere farce.
ISF SCORES WITH THE FOREIGNER Riding a wave of success after Sweeney Todd and King Richard III, Idaho Skaespeare Festival gambled with its final play of the season, Larry Shue’s The Foreigner (which opened Saturday, Sept. 7). Its mix of sitcom-esque humor and uneven tone makes for an inconsistent, though frequently hilarious, theater experience. The Foreigner is set in rural Georgia, where Betty Meeks (Lynn Allison) runs a hunting lodge frequented by British demolitions specialist “Froggy” LeSueur (Dudley Swetland), who has brought along with him a guest, the self-conscious cuckold Charlie Baker (Gordon Reinhart). To protect Charlie’s privacy and alleviate his social anxiety, Froggy tells the other guests that Charlie doesn’t speak English; but instead of ensuring Charlie’s peace of mind, the ruse makes him the center of attention. To Charlie’s surprise, he begins to like his role. This is the state of affairs for most of The Foreigner. Reinhart gleefully plays the bemused Brit, establishing convincing connections to the other characters, especially Ellard Simms (Steve Cardamone), a caretaker at the lodge thought to be dimwitted. Charlie and Ellard’s friendship is charming and dynamic, with Ellard proving to be more competent than he lets on, and Charlie discovering he’s less boring than he thinks. THE FOREIGNER A cascade of gags follows, Plays through Sunday, Sept. and some of them are funny. 29, 7:30 p.m., 5657 Warm Betty believes she can commuSprings Ave., Boise. nicate with Charlie by shouting idahoshakespearefestival. at him. The pregnant heiress org Catherine Simms (Georgina Stoyles) equates his silence with him being a good listener. No one looks askance at Charlie’s rapid language learning or his selective understanding. The urgency of the play rests on the fact that property inspector Owen Musser (Justin Ness) has condemned the fishing lodge and is secretly conspiring with local preacher and Catherine’s fiancee, Rev. David Lee (Richard Klautsch), to bulldoze the lodge to make way for the headquarters of a paramilitary organization reminiscent of the Ku Klux Klan. Owen and David conspire openly before Charlie, and it’s up to him to foil their plot without revealing his fraudulence. A frustrated Owen musters his troops, culminating in the lodge’s invasion by sauced hooligans in camouflage and hoods looking to vent their rage on Charlie. The sudden threat of violence turns the play from a goofy yuk-fest into a scene of potential tragedy, upending the play’s lighthearted reality. That at the end of the play the audience was thrust out of its seats for a standing ovation is a testament to the quality of ISF’s production. With The Foreigner, ISF has made gold from dross, providing you can ignore the blemishes. —Harrison Berry WWW. B O I S E WE E KLY. C O M

Kamphire Collective will (mostly) reunite for two shows at the Hyde Park Street Fair and Reef.
KAMPHIRE COLLECTIVE REUNITES FOR HYDE PARK STREET FAIR It only took a phone call. A couple of months ago, local business owner Marcus Hunter contacted one of his clients, Jim Teeter of Gruntwerks, to see if he needed help setting up this year’s Hyde Park Street Fair. “Jim Teeter was like, ‘Well, what do you guys think about doing a reunion?’ And I was like, ‘That’s a good question,’” he said. Hunter (who went by the MC name Origin) got in touch with the members of his old band, Kamphire Collective. When most of the guys said yes, the band agreed to reunite for two more performances, playing the Hyde Park Street Fair on Friday, Sept. 13, and Reef on Saturday, Sept. 14. Formed back in 2005, Kamphire earned a large local fan base with a blend of thoughtful lyrics, smooth flow, rock guitar and reggae rhythms. The band released the album Simply Complex in 2007 and giggeds regularly for four years—including sets at the 2006 and 2007 Boise Weekly music festivals, opening for George Clinton and the P-Funk All Stars in 2007 and at the 30th anniversary Hyde Park Street Fair in 2009. After that, and in spite of the band’s popularity, Kamphire Collective called it quits. “Our families were growing, and we were kind of all moving in our own directions,” Hunter said. Since disbanding, the lives of Kamphire Collective’s members have taken diverse paths. For example, MC Tim Hammes (aka Timbuk2) has continued to perform locally as Exit Prose; he released the solo album Sensational Woes in 2011 and played this year’s Treefort Music Fest. Guitarist Stephan “Big Bwoy” Hagstrom is an artist who specializes in glass. Drummer Todd Belcher is the soundman at the Woodshed Bar in Salt Lake City. Justin “Backbone” Rooney, who joined the band on bass after the early departure of Jake Albrethsen, will also take part in the reunion. Except for Hagstrom, Kamphire Collective’s lineup will return for these two shows. Guitarist Oscar Ortega will fill in for Hagstrom and will also perform with local Portuguese/Latin American music group Rosa dos Ventos at the Reef concert. “We haven’t played together for going on five years,” Hunter said, “so we’re going to get a couple of practices in and see how that goes. I think we’ll be just fine.” Old Kamphire fans should take note, though: Barring any surprise developments, there will be no comeback. “If we get signed by a record label, that’s a different story,” Hunter said with a chuckle. —Ben Schultz

I found myself without a band and booked with other blues bands and we don’t with an acoustic guitar, so I wrote a bunch of fit at all,” he said. songs and started playing and just assumed
Kirby also reflected that much of the material on The Electric Years now sounds drastically different live than it does recorded. “We’ve changed [a lot of those songs] a significant degree or moved on ... because they’re never going to be static. That’s just the way we work: Each performance seems to be a slightly different version of what we do,” he said. “Honestly, we’ve been very impatient just wanting this album to come out so we can move on to the next one,” Kirby added “which is, I imagine, what we’ll find ourselves in all the time for the rest of our lives.” Judging from this year’s accomplishments, SBS may well have a shot at going the distance. In addition to playing Treefort and the UMS, the band performed for the Boise Dance Co-op at the Esther Simplot Center for the Performing Arts in late August. The two-day event included performances by dancers from Ballet Idaho and Trey McIntyre Project. SBS also garnered a some international attention when the UK-based website Independent Music News named the band as one of 10 Idaho acts to watch (other acts included Finn Riggins, Hollow Wood and Hillfolk Noir). On June 6, the band threw a fundraising party at The Crux, earning enough in one night to press 300 vinyl copies of Electric Years. In addition to live music, the show featured food, raffles, face-painting and a kissing booth with all four members of the band. SBS hopes to create a festive mood at the album release show, too, where the winner of a costume party, will receive a $40 bar tab. Along with Boise drone-rockers Dark Swallows and Idaho Falls experimental act Leaf Raker, the show will also feature Seattle “treepunk” band Kithkin, which Pollard recalled seeing at Treefort this year. “Well, I didn’t actually see it,” she said, “because I was drinking whiskey in the bathroom stall out of a flask the whole set, but I heard it, and it was so awesome.” Laughing, Pollard apologized for that. “It’s not my fault,” she added. “Somebody had a flask of whiskey.” “Yeah, story of my life,” Kirby said.

We all make bad decisions. Naming your band Diarrhea Planet is definitely one. Not seeing the band because of that name, though, is an even worse one. Maybe the Nashvillebased fivesome got together and said, “Let’s come up with a gross name for our band. Then, let’s redeem ourselves by making incredible music.” One questionable decision, one brilliant decision. They don’t cancel each other out. The band’s August 2013 release, I’m Rich Beyond Your Wildest Dreams, is rich indeed.

WE BUTTER THE BREAD WITH BUTTER, SEPT. 14, THE SHREDDER It’s not every day we get to write about a German deathcore band coming to Boise. It’s also not every day that we get to write the phrase “We Butter the Bread With Butter” without our readers thinking it’s a typo. Or a joke. It’s neither. The Lubben, Germany-based WBTBWB is touring behind its 2013 release, Goldkinder. Make no mistakes: Goldkinder is the same dark, guitar-laden collection as its predecessors, but something utterly melodic wraps itself around Paul Bartzsch’s vocals, which oscillate from guttural growls to punctuated screams to quite lovely singing. The first track off the album, “Alles was ich will,” is a wholly listenable song and might be a great introduction to a band that isn’t kidding around. —Amy Atkins

WINESIPPER/DRINK RHONE WHITE BLENDS
2011 FLUX BLANC, $24 California winemaker Mark Herold, who began his career at Joseph Phelps, crafted this blend of grenache blanc and roussanne. It opens with aromas of honeysuckle, rose bud, casaba melon and stone fruit with hints of wet stone and mineral. Ripe peach and citrus play against crisp and refreshing acidity in this beautifully balanced wine that’s built to be paired with food—think shellfish or pasta. 2011 KERMIT LYNCH COTES DU RHONE SUNFLOWER CUVEE, $24 Made for importer Kermit Lynch by Louis Barruol, the 14th generation of his family to make wine in France, the Sunflower is a blend of marsanne, roussanne, viognier and picpoul harvested from old vines. The aromas are light but lovely, with soft lime, orange and touches of citrus peel and quinine. The quinine is light on the palate, backing citrus and stone fruit flavors. 2012 CHAPOUTIER LES VIGNES DE BILA-HAUT COTES DU ROUSSILLON, $13.99 Seeing incredible potential in the Cotes du Roussillon, famed Rhone winemaker Michel Chapoutier started his Bila-Haut project. This blend of grenache blanc, grenache gris and macabeu offers floral lime and grapefruit aromas, mingling with subtle lavender and mint. Crisp and refreshing with zesty pineapple and citrus flavors, the finish adds complex notes of mineral and a hint of sea salt. —David Kirkpatrick

Restaurants get one chance to hit BW with their best shot. JEN GR AB LE
Too many people get in a wine rut, drinking their favorite chardonnay or sauvignon blanc to the exclusion of most everything else. That’s a shame, because there is a world of deliciously different wines out there made from grapes you may not be that familiar with. France’s Rhone Valley is home to a number of exceptional varieties like roussanne, marsanne, picpoul and grenache blanc. Blended, they make perfect transition wines as we segue into fall.
FOOD/REVIEW
THE DISH And now for something different TARA MORGAN You’ve got to hand it to The Dish. Amid Boise’s endless iterations of the pub grub concept, The Dish has taken a risk. Owners Jered Couch and Brian McGill transformed the 10th Street space into something wholly different from its peers and predecessors—a bland sports bar, a kitsched-up cantina and Milky Way, one of Boise’s more iconic eateries. But while “different” is a welcome change, it’s not quite a cohesive concept. Pull open the door to the Empire Building’s stately hallway and a hostess will guide you past a small bar/lounge with alternating panels of dark and light wood, out onto the throbbing orange patio or into one of the rows of wackily upholstered booths lit by Edison light bulbs. The vibe vacillates between modern, mid-century and Portland vintage, never quite The Dish presents an array of concepts, both on and off the menu. The ones on the menu work best. merging the three.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “A good story should make you laugh, and a moment later break your heart,” wrote Chuck Palahniuk in his book Stranger Than Fiction. From what I can tell, Aries, the sequence is the reverse for you. In your story, the disruption has already happened. Next comes the part where you laugh. It may be a sardonic chuckle at first, as yoxu become aware of the illusions you had been under before the jolt exposed them. Eventually, I expect you will be giggling and gleeful, eternally grateful for the tricky luck that freed you to pursue a more complete version of your fondest dream. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus musician David Byrne was asked by an interviewer to compose a seven-word autobiography. In response, he came up with 10 words: “unfinished, unprocessed, uncertain, unknown, unadorned, underarms, underpants, unfrozen, unsettled, unfussy.” The coming days would be an excellent time for you to carry out similar assignments. I’d love to see you express the essential truth about yourself in bold and playful ways. I will also be happy if you make it clear that even though you’re a workin-progress, you have a succinct understanding of what you need and who you are becoming. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The French word “sillage” means “wake,” like the trail created behind a boat as it zips through water. In English, it refers to the fragrance that remains in the air after a person wearing perfume or cologne passes by. For our purposes, we will expand the definition to include any influences and impressions left behind by a powerful presence who has exited the scene. In my astrological opinion, Gemini, sillage is a key theme for you to monitor in the coming days. Be alert for it. Study it. It will be a source of information that helps you make good decisions. CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Cataglottism” is a rarely used English word that has the same meaning as French kissing— engaging in liberal use of the tongue as you make out. But I don’t recommend that you incorporate such an inelegant, guttural term into your vocabulary. Imagine yourself thinking, while in the midst of French kissing, that what you’re doing is “cataglottism.” Your pleasure would probably be diminished. This truth applies in a broader sense, too. The language you use to frame your experience has a dramatic impact on how it all unfolds. The coming week will be an excellent time to experiment with this principle. See if you can increase your levels of joy and grace by describing what’s happening to you with beautiful and positive words.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): This is Correct Your First Impressions Week. It’s a perfect time for you to re-evaluate any of your beliefs that are based on mistaken facts or superficial perceptions. Are you open to the possibility that you might have jumped to unwarranted conclusions? Are you willing to question certainties that hardened in you after just a brief exposure to complicated processes? During Correct Your First Impressions Week, humble examination of your fixed prejudices is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. P.S.: This is a good time to re-connect with a person you have unjustly judged as unworthy of you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): This is a good time to free yourself from a curse that an immature soul placed on you once upon a time. I’m not talking about a literal spell cast by a master of the dark arts. Rather, I’m referring to an abusive accusation that was heaped on you, perhaps inadvertently, by a careless person whose own pain made them stupid. As I evaluate the astrological omens, I conclude that you now have the power to dissolve this curse all by yourself. You don’t need a wizard or a witch to handle it for you. Follow your intuition for clues on how to proceed. Here’s a suggestion to stimulate your imagination: Visualize the curse as a dark purple rose. See yourself hurling it into a vat of molten gold. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The current chapter of your life story may not be quite as epic as I think it is, so my advice may sound melodramatic. Still, what I’m going to tell you is something we all need to hear from time to time. And I’m pretty sure this is one of those moments for you. It comes from writer Charles Bukowski: “Nobody can save you but yourself. You will be put again and again into nearly impossible situations. They will attempt again and again through subterfuge, guise, and force to make you submit, quit and/or die quietly inside. But don’t, don’t, don’t. It’s a war not easily won, but if anything is worth winning then this is it. Nobody can save you but yourself, and you’re worth saving.” SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The cosmos hereby grants you poetic license to be brazen in your craving for the best and brightest experiences... to be uninhibited in feeding your obsessions and making them work for you... to be shameless as you pursue exactly and only what you really, really want more than anything else. This is a limited time offer, although it may be extended if you pounce eagerly and take full advantage. For best results, suspend your pursuit of trivial wishes and purge yourself of your bitchy complaints about life.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): At the last minute, Elsa Oliver impulsively canceled her vacation to New York. She had a hunch that something exciting would happen if instead she stayed at her home in England. A few hours later, she got a message inviting her to be a contestant on the UK television show Who Wants To Be a Millionaire? In the days and weeks that followed, she won the equivalent of $100,000. I’m not predicting anything quite as dramatic for you, Sagittarius. But I do suspect that good luck is lurking in unexpected places, and to gather it in, you may have to trust your intuition, stay alert for late-breaking shifts in fate, and be willing to alter your plans. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “The only thing standing between you and your goal is the bullshit story you keep telling yourself as to why you can’t achieve it,” writes American author Jordan Belfort. I don’t entirely agree with that idea. There may be other obstacles over which you have little control. But the bullshit story is often more than half the problem. So that’s the bad news, Capricorn. The good news is that right now is a magic moment in your destiny when you have more power than usual to free yourself of your own personal bullshit story. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Is the truth a clear, bright, shiny treasure, like a big diamond glittering in the sunlight? Does it have an objective existence that’s independent of our feelings about it? Or is the truth a fuzzy, convoluted thing that resembles a stream of smoke snaking through an underground cavern? Does it have a different meaning for every mind that seeks to grasp it? The answer, of course, is: both. Sometimes the truth is a glittering diamond and at other times it’s a stream of smoke. But for you right now, Aquarius, the truth is the latter. You must have a high tolerance for ambiguity as you cultivate your relationship with it. It’s more likely to reveal its secrets if you maintain a flexible and cagey frame of mind. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): It’s a good time to indulge in wideopen, high-flying, anything-goes fantasies about love—IF you also do something practical to help those fantasies come true. So I encourage you to dream about revolutionizing your relationship with romance and intimacy—as long as you also make specific adjustments in your own attitudes and behavior that will make the revolution more likely. Two more tips: 1. Free yourself from dogmatic beliefs you might have about love’s possibilities. 2. Work to increase your capacity for lusty trust and trusty lust.
