MAKING SAUSAGE It’s unlikely that German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck actually made the famous observation that, “laws are like sausages, it is better not to see them being made.” It’s a good quote, though, and if he didn’t say it, someone would have—if not in Germany, then definitely in regards to Congress. As BW headed to press Sept. 30, we were counting down the hours until the United States government would be shut down on Republicans’ opposition to health care reform. For all the rhetoric—including 21 hours of uninterrupted bloviation by Tea Party maven and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz—the “shutdown showdown” is a hostage situation. Republicans have tried to kill Obamacare since it was in the cradle and, despite losing more than two dozen attempts to stop it, it is law. Failing to overturn it on its merits, they’re trying to strangle it with the federal purse strings—refusing to vote on key budget measures unless Obamacare is dismembered. In the process, they threaten federal workers and the economy as a whole. This kind of politics could be called “making sausage” if sausage making required an air strike and a wood chipper. Regardless of what happens at midnight on Oct. 1, we’ve reached another low in American politics—stable countries don’t shut down their governments over legislative squabbles, and a party that would intentionally force such a failure obviously cares more about achieving its own ends than anything so high-minded as representative democracy. This kind of reckless political self-interest would have been unthinkable to an earlier generation of leaders—certainly to public servants like Pete T. Cenarrusa, who served in Idaho government for more than 50 years and passed away at age 95 on Sept. 29. Though a Republican, Cenarrusa worked with late-Democratic U.S. Sen. Frank Church on issues related to the Basque population in Spain and supported the candidacy of Boise Mayor Dave Bieter, also a Democrat. As secretary of state, he served the law rather than his party—particularly in the case of the Sunshine Initiative, a measure that voters put on the ballot in 1974 to require campaign finance disclosure. Of course, the Republican-majority Legislature was vehemently opposed, but that didn’t matter to Cenarrusa. As he often pointed out, he worked for the people. In today’s GOP, Cenarrusa may well have been branded a traitor. Politics might be the art of the possible, to borrow an authentic phrase from Bismarck, but, sadly, it’s not likely that today’s politics would make a Cenarrusa possible. —Zach Hagadone

MORE RANDEM THINKINGS Cope comfiskates MulletBoy’s stuff
Note: About that obituary I began last week and promised to complete this week... never mind. As it turns out, I lived. But listen, sooner or later something else will come up and I’ll have reason to finish it, so hang onto “Part One,” OK? I don’t want to start again from scratch. But seeing as how this week’s reading material will not be “Part Two” as I had planned, I’ve been caught a bit short in my column account. Since I already had it in my head what I’d be writing about—at least, up until that moment when I realized I’d be fine—I hadn’t troubled myself to come up with a fallback topic. Not that there isn’t plenty of stuff out there that might occupy a person of strong opinions like myself: the Syria situation, yet another mass shooting, the GOP threat to shut down the government, etc. But frankly, friends, I need more than a mere compelling issue to tap my creative juices keg. So until I am back to full production level, I thought this to be a good time to check in on MulletBoy. As you remember, last spring he was trying to scrape enough cash together to buy his first assault rifle—a “Bushmasher,” as he called it. He had joined a club calling itself the “United State of Idaho” whose mission it is to defend Idaho’s sovereignty against any sort of onslaught. It sounded to me like the United State of Idaho was just another bunch of deluded hillbillies, working themselves up into a froth over the prospect of U.N. troops or ATF agents or whatever swarming over Owyhee County. But evidently, being a member filled a hole in MulletBoy’s life, and who am I to question if that hole isn’t where more sensible people would keep their intelligence? Following is MulletBoy’s latest “Randem Thinkings” entry: U Woo-ee Dawg! What a day this been! Ripster comes in the Loob ‘N’ Scoot right whiles I’m in the middle of debubblizing the brake fluid on one of them new Kia cars. Know the ones I mean? All boxy and square and colored like Skittles? They look like something them Hollywood girly-boys might dream up for a new Bruce Willis movie. Like maybe he’s in the future again and he’s driving a flying Kia when a hot alien babe falls through the roof and tells him to take her to the planet Nockerup or someplace like that or the world is about going to end. I told old Rip what I thought about them Kia cars and too, I told him about that movie idea what I just told you about, but he says “Cuz, that aren’t no new Bruce Willis movie. That’s an old Bruce Willis movie.” And I say “Nu-uh. I just thought of it.” And he says “Nu-uh, you didn’t. It was called The Fifth Monkey or soemthing like that. Me and you rented it one night, but you fell asleep cause you were drunk. Don’t you remember?” BOI S EW EEKLY.COM
And then I did, sort of, so I changed the subject. “What you doing here, Rip? Arn’t we still going worm-jerking after work?” And he says “Aren’t you heard? There’s been one of them mass shootings again and I thinks this one’ll be the excuse them fed bastards are looking for and comfiskate our Bushmashers.” Well I says “Well Rip, I ain’t got no Bushmasher yet.” And he says “Yeh, well, in your case, since you ain’t got one but plan on getting one, they’ll probalby leave you with a paper or something that orders you to hand it over to them as soon as you get it.” And I say “Yeh, well, in that case, I’d just not get one on the first place.” And he says, “Yeh, well, but you swore to the boys down at the United State of Idaho that you were gonna get one. What you gone to tell them?” And I say “Yeh, well, maybe I could tell them I got one, but then them fed bastards came and comfiskated it.” That sort of shut Rip up for a while, like maybe I hurt his feelings by out-thinking him, so after a while, I say “So what’s so special abot this maas shooting what makes you think it’ll be the one what gets the feds to comfiskating?” And he tells me it’s on a navy base where it’s happened, and he says “They’ll say shooting up our military boys is crossing some red line or something like that, and they say all guns got to go now. You juts watch.” Well I say, “Well why don’t they have those navy boys carrying guns? That would stopped that shooter wouldn’t it? Like they say teachers in little kiddy schools and Star Box goers ought be carrying guns, so why shouldn’t our navy boys be carrying guns, too? The only thing what’ll stop a bad man with a gun is a good man whats too got a gun. That’s what I heared.” Then old Rip scrinkles up his face like he does when he’s thinking and says “Yeh, well, that’s the thing, Cuz. I always thought them navy boys did carry guns. I always thought that carrying guns been the main thing what them army and navy boys do.” Then I says “Yeh, well, maybe they used to carry guns, but then them fed bastards come along and comfiskated them. Like, just like things always start in the military like intragration and that gay pride stuff and women stuff and such? Well maybe them feds are starting the whole total gun comfiskating stuff with the military first. Did you ever think of that?” Well I could tell he had not ever thought of that by the amount of scrinkle on his face. Next time, I’ll will tell you what the boys in the United State of Idaho had to say when I told them about them military boys having all their guns comfiskated. Right now, me and Rip off to our favortie worm jerking spot. Woo-ee Dawg! What a night this is goign to been!

OPINION/JOHN REMBER
TEACHING WOMEN TO WRITE A dangerous meditation
During my years of teaching writing, my best students were women in their 40s and 50s, recently divorced, acting in their own selfinterest for the first time since they were 15 or so. They worked all their adult lives, devoting decades to raising children, raising husbands, saving money for children’s college funds, making do with less so their families could do with more. All too often, kids hadn’t turned out so well and husbands had left them for people younger, less exhausted and more tolerant of male vanity and self-delusion. Some of these students were finishing undergraduate degrees interrupted by marriage or pregnancy or both. The others were in a low-residency MFA program, learning to write fiction after living lives that had been revealed to be fiction. They were fierce, angry and intellectually hungry students who demanded substance for their tuition money. If they didn’t understand what I was saying, they would keep asking pointed questions until what I was trying to get across became clear to all of us. Their presence made for a better classroom, because most of the younger students either thought they already knew what I was talking about even if they didn’t, or didn’t have anything to say, even though they were in a writing class where having something to say is a necessary precondition. These older women became good writers. They had no time for the trivial. I seldom had to tell them anything twice. They got better from one story to the next, because they always had the courage to take that next step down. They could think the forbidden thought and write the forbidden sentence that uncovered the next forbidden thought. They had lost a great deal in their lives, but they had learned to live with loss. Living with loss is an essential skill for a writer. It’s an essential skill for everybody, come to think of it. I still get emails from these students, announcing the publication of books or stories. They tend to give me more credit than I deserve, because the work in question is usually a carefully completed version of something that I long ago handed back with “THIS ISN’T FINISHED” scribbled on it. There are worse comments for a fetal-stage story. If writing classes are ever successfully taught by computers, “THIS ISN’T FINISHED” will need to be part of the software, along with “NOT ALL MEN ARE LIKE THIS,” which is something I also used to write quite a bit. Fast forward to the present. An article is going around the Internet titled, “Six Reasons Not to Send Your Daughter to College.” It contains neither good writing nor good thinking. But given what I’ve written so far, you can be forgiven if you think I should have titled this piece, “Six Reasons Not to Send Your Daughter to College until She’s Divorced,

Tough-As-Nails, and Royally Pissed That Her Kids Are Still Living at Home in Their Late 20s.” That’s putting it too strongly. But I have wished that 18-year-old women would, during their first four years out of high school, get a job and earn their tuition money and then finally go to college at age 22. They would realize, then, how hard it is to save thousands of dollars and how many of those thousands a college education costs. Of course, there are no out-of-high-school jobs that would pay enough in a year to save enough for a year’s worth of college. We’ve decided as a culture to send 18-year-old women to college whether they’re ready or not, and make them pay for it later, with punishing interest. It’s an ethical problem that few universities have acknowledged, even as they raise tuition and fees on a near-annual basis. But it covers up an even bigger ethical problem, one engrained in the culture: Marriage and children aren’t a good deal for women, even college-educated women. If a man and woman end up getting married in college, it’s usually the woman who drops out to support the man’s life script. The man tends to go to grad school, and then the family goes to where the man’s job is. There are better ways to spend your Godgiven life, if I judge from women who put down the last $25,000 of a divorce settlement for an MFA, ending up with nothing but the freedom to be themselves and to see the world with eyes unafraid. That’s something they could have had at 22 except for the loan repayments. I used to write, “NOT ALL MEN ARE LIKE THIS,” on the stories of 18-year-olds, too, usually when I had asked for a two-page description of a perfect day. It’s a good earlyin-the-workshop prompt, if you can stand the occasional deranged narrative about 24 hours at Costco with unlimited credit. But when these young women described their perfect days, they usually included a spouse, and that spouse was usually a man, and that man usually resembled Johnny Depp cast as a kind, brave, considerate, debt-assuming soul-mate. Out of kindness, I didn’t write, “NO MEN ARE LIKE THIS,” even though I sensed that beneath the public image of Johnny Depp lay pathologies that might make perfect hours possible, but not perfect days. A hazard of teaching writing to undergraduates is you end up thinking people shouldn’t be allowed to go to college until their neocortexes are developed enough to understand the subtleties of history, literature and human nature. That would prevent a lot of men from going to college until they’re 60, but most women, by the time they’re 22, are adults capable of lifelong learning in these fields—if they can find the time, the money and the people who can see them as stars in their own right.

BRAKING BAD Bike share program latest victim in city of Boise-ACHD crossfire GEORGE PRENTICE Boise Mayor Dave Bieter wanted to let off a little steam. Hizzoner’s nemesis, the Ada County Highway District, had just slammed the brakes on second-year funding of the Boise Bike Share Program and Bieter thought an auditorium full of public officials and city planners ought to know about it. So-called “walkability” guru Jeff Speck (Boise Weekly, Citizen, “Jeff Speck,” June 26) had just shared his much-anticipated thoughts on how Boise could become more pedestrianand cyclist-friendly in a Sept. 17 presentation at the Boise Centre, when Bieter waved his hand to get Speck’s attention. “I would like to point out that just yesterday, our [Ada County Highway District] commissioners led an effort to pull funding from Boise’s Bike Share Program,” said the mayor. Bieter’s ire immediately triggered a buzz throughout the auditorium as attendees took note of the mayor’s ever-escalating struggle with ACHD (BW, Citydesk, “Spokesman: ACHD Owes Bieter Apology,” June 28.]. While Bieter’s administration is responsible for every other inch of city-owned land, ACHD holds sway over all of the city’s streets. Simply put, City Hall’s authority ends at the curb. Bieter was referring to a Sept. 16 meeting of COMPASS—the region’s primary transportation planning board—where ACHD directors led the charge to move $326,000 away from the 2015 budget for BBSP, which is expected to be rolled out in 2014. More befuddling than the effort to defund BBSP’s 2015 budget was the actual vote taken by the COMPASS board: 500,496 (in favor) to 289,861 (opposed). “I don’t know if even I understand how [the voting] works,” said Kelly Fairless, executive director of Valley Regional Transit. “COMPASS has this thing called a ‘weighted vote.’” COMPASS is the Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho, allocating millions of federal transportation dollars. Its membership includes elected officials from the cities of Boise, Caldwell, Eagle, Garden City, Kuna, Meridian, Middleton, Nampa, Parma and Star, as well as Ada and Canyon county commissioners, Ada and Canyon county highway district directors and representatives from the Capital City Development Corporation, Boise State University, the Department of Environmental Quality, the Idaho Transportation Department and JAMES LLOY D
Mary Pierce looks behind the dismal suicide statistics and sees hope. Idaho suicide rates rank among the highest in the country, while the state lags in public spending on mental health care—51st in the nation, just behind Puerto Rico. Additionally, more people die of suicide than auto accidents in the United States—a trend that has risen sharply during the past decade. Suicide snuffs out a life approximately every 13 minutes; it can strike at any time of the day or night; and when an Idahoan reaches crisis, there may not always be a local lifeline. Pierce sees the statistics as “100-percent preventable,” and Idaho could provide that lifeline, she said. “Ninety percent of people who die by suicide have a mental health issue or a substance abuse problem,” said Pierce, Boise Veterans Affairs Medical Center Suicide Prevention coordinator. “That’s why it’s one of the most preventable kinds of deaths because if they can get mental health help, we feel it can be prevented.” In November 2012, Idaho relaunched the Idaho Suicide Prevention Hotline (1-800-TALK)—a resource that has since offered support and connected nearly 795 callers to local mental health and crisis intervention resources. But director, John Reusser estimates that for every caller who reaches a local volunteer, another caller gets passed to out-of-state help. The local hot line doesn’t operate 24/7—leaving resource gaps in preventing deaths that occur at all hours of the day. “For the 700 to 800 calls that were taken, there were 700 to 800 calls that we haven’t taken,” said Reusser. “I want all of those calls to be captured in Idaho.” While trained volunteers donate their time to the hot line, the organization still solicits cash donations to maintain operations and to keep spreading the word that the hot line exists. A Friday, Oct. 4, concert benefit, featuring musician Antsy McClain, hopes to raise additional funds to help make the hot line a 24/7 service. The hot line currently staffs local volunteers from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Calls that come into the hot line after hours are routed to hot line workers outside of Idaho–usually in Oregon. That may leave vital gaps in prevention and follow-up care because out-of-state hot lines aren’t linked to data bases that could connect Idaho callers to local community assistance, including more than 1,200 local resources and follow-up care. “If we’re compassionate, and caring and nonjudgmental, we can help them,” Pierce said.

Valley Regional Transit. But an elite few wield more power at COMPASS than the rest; for example, the city of Boise, Ada and Canyon counties, and the ACHD each have three representatives on the board, while Caldwell, Meridian, Nampa and the Canyon County Highway District each have two members. All of the other entities have one representative. That totals 22 votes. “And had that vote to defund BBSP been taken by a simple, regular vote, it would have been very close,” Fairless told Boise Weekly. But that never happened. In a bizarre distribution of power, COMPASS allocates “weighted” votes based on membership dues paid. For example, ACHD had 199,719 votes on Sept. 16 (66,573 for each ACHD member present) and Ada County had another 199,719 (all three Ada County commissioners were present). But the city of Boise had only one representative present, meaning it only had 96,512 votes. So when ACHD President Sara Baker moved to sweep $326,000 away from BBSP and reallocate it to roadway maintenance (ACHD member Rebecca Arnold seconded the motion) and Ada County commissioners joined their ACHD brethren, the lopsided vote doomed the prospects of funding for the second year of the bike share program. “We were surprised and disappointed by ACHD’s last-second move to cut the funding,” Bieter told Boise Weekly. “Even more distressing: these federal dollars, which had been designated for high-priority alternative transportation programs to help the Treasure Valley address our air quality and traffic congestion issues, will instead be spent on basic road maintenance—something the highway district ought to be able to handle within its own budget.” Bieter was quick to add BBSP was still on
track to be launched, albeit in a limited fashion, in 2014. “We hope ACHD will reconsider in light of the compelling arguments—including those provided by Jeff Speck—that bike share programs encourage people to use bikes when they would otherwise get in their cars.” ACHD spokesman Craig Quintana pushed back, saying BBSP was never threatened. “The bottom line is that the mayor has his facts wrong,” said Quintana. “To say that ACHD killed it is playing fast and loose with what happened.” Quintana said COMPASS, and ACHD directors in particular, had already approved BBSP funding for 2014 but “wanted to evaluate it next year before committing to funding for 2015.” “Yes, ACHD was a part of that move but it was voted on by COMPASS,” he said. “The mayor’s allegation doesn’t seem to be supported by the facts or the votes.” Fairless, whose Valley Regional Transit voted (in a losing effort) alongside the city of Boise, two Canyon County commissioners, the cities of Garden City and Nampa, Boise State, the DEQ and the Idaho Transportation Department to salvage the 2015 funds, said she remains optimistic about BBSP’s future. “This just makes it a little more challenging,” said Fairless. “As a member of COMPASS, we’re going to respect the decision and do the best we can with what we have in front of us.” Dave Fotsch, Central District Health Department spokesman and one of the bike share program’s architects, told Boise Weekly that he was in the room Sept. 16 when the “weighted” COMPASS vote moved the funds away from BBSP. “We’re disappointed,” said Fotsch. “We thought we had gone through the process and made a good case for this.” Fotsch said BBSP’s plans to introduce seven stations and approximately 70 bikes was still on track for 2014, but where to find the necessary funding to double that number by 2015 was now anybody’s guess. “But it’s not over,” he said. “We’ll need to go back to COMPASS and prove it’s sustainable. We’ll keep trying.”

BARRY ESTABROOK Tomatoland author on slavery, flavorless tomatoes and food porn GEORGE PRENTICE
Was the sensation of tasting homegrown tomatoes a part of your formative years? Strangely enough, growing tomatoes was one of the few places where I bonded with my father. I remember the smell and feel of the roots and sitting down with him having sliced tomatoes. That’s probably why I’m a tomato nerd. Did Tomatoland begin as a magazine piece? I was a staff writer for Gourmet magazine for a long time. I went down to Florida to do a story about a guy who was growing a different type of tomato. What took me there was a gastronomic story ... I discovered stories of people being prosecuted for slavery. It was horrifying. Tell me about how human trafficking was linked to the tomato industry. Between the 1990s and 2007, 1,500 people were freed from slavery in Florida tomato fields. Most people would be shocked by this. I’m not talking about euphemisms here. These were people who were bought and sold for $350-$500. Were these people undocumented workers? All sorts of people: Some were Americanborn, some documented as guest workers,

some undocumented. The one thing they all had in common was that they were as desperate and broke as a human can be. What were they paid? Maybe $20 a week. A driver would pull to up a homeless mission, pick up some men for work and drive them out to the bush. But the tomatoes wouldn’t be ready to pick. So the bunkhouses would cost the men some money and they would have to pay for meals. Where did this happen? Immokalee, Fla. [Tomatoland dubs Immokalee “the tomato capital of the United States”]. Have I eaten a tomato from Immokalee at some point in my life? A U.S. attorney for the Middle District of Florida looked me straight in the eye and said, “It’s not an assumption. If you’ve eaten tomatoes in supermarkets, restaurants or institutional food service companies, you have eaten something from the hands of slaves.” I finished researching my book at the end of 2010. That was a watershed year. That’s when a coalition of Immokalee workers and tomato growers reached an agreement which provided a 50-percent wage increase and also some basic freedoms: no slaves, no sexual

Barry Estabrook’s Tomatoland has plenty to chew on. In fact, the James Beard Awardwinning author’s book reads more like a detective story than a simple deconstruction of the world’s most alluring fruit. Chronicling an industry that shoves out gorgeous but tasteless tomatoes, Estabrook also revealed an almost unbelievable culture of indentured servitude that continued until very recently. Estabrook, who visited Boise State University on Oct. 1, spoke with Boise Weekly about his best-selling expose and why he calls some tomatoes “food porn.”
harassment. If I wrote Tomatoland today, it would be a very different book. Thankfully, things have improved. How does a 21st century tomato compare to, let’s say, a tomato we ate in the 1960s? Today’s tomato has dramatically less calcium, Vitamin A and Vitamin C, but about 14 times more sodium. What gives us any indication that this might change anytime soon? Labor relations are improving. But we need more supermarkets on board with reform. Today, you walk into a supermarket in the dead of winter and there are a dozen different tomato choices. And a fair amount of them are tasteless. A tomato farmer told me, “I don’t get paid a penny for flavor. I get paid by the pound.” Many Florida tomatoes are picked green and artificially gassed with ethylene to prematurely turn them red. A winter tomato is a kind of food porn. I don’t think I would ever consider tomatoes as food porn. It looks like a tomato, but it doesn’t taste like a tomato. You realize you’re not getting what you think you’re getting. Think of that beautiful, shiny-looking tomato. You know, it promises to deliver you a summer delight in the winter, but it doesn’t.

Using sumi ink and acrylic pigment, de Dionyso draws from themes and mythologies of India, using the styles of Central and South American traditional art. The vital colors—jet blacks and crystalline blues, mod greens and blood reds—and human figures are haunted by “an imposing and contemplative narrative” which, according to the gallery, results in “storytelling that is both hallucinatory and refined.” In keeping with his epic name, de Dionyso’s subjects strike timeless poses and represent archetypal themes. And like most art depicting the mythic, there’s plenty of cheerful nudity. Wednesday, Oct. 2-Thursday, Oct. 3, noon-midnight; Friday, Oct. 4, 8 p.m.-midnight. FREE.

FRIDAY OCT. 4 ha ha COMEDY 4A CURE’S BEST MEDICINE BALL 10 | OCTOBER 2–8, 2013 | BOISEweekly
Whoever said laughter is the best medicine must have lived by the mantra of Comedy 4A Cure founder Angela Milligan. The Treasure Valley resident started Comedy 4A Cure in 2011 as a tribute to her mother, who passed away from colon cancer. This is her way—with help from
Some of us are simply not runners. It causes our squishy bits to jiggle in unfortunate ways. Some are not the jogging type, either, because it feels silly to shuffle our feet when an elegant canter will do. Most of us are the walking type out of necessity, but many find great enjoyment in the Seussical certainty of “left foot, right foot, left foot, right.” Regardless of your preferred pace, all will be on foot at the Light the Night Walk—an annual fundraiser for the Treasure Valley chapter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society—in Ann Morrison Park, Wednesday, Oct. 3. Walking feet of all shapes and sizes are needed to help meet this year’s fundraising goal of $228,000. Teams and individuals have already been raising money through sponsors, each competing for the title of top fundraiser. Last year, 1,200 people participated in the event and, ultimately, everyone has the same goal: to raise money to help fight blood cancers. The effort culminates in the nighttime walk, with participants each carrying an illuminated balloon—white for survivors, red for supporters and gold in memory of someone who lost his or her fight with cancer. Walk registration begins at 5 p.m., and while everyone can walk for free to show their support, donations are highly encouraged. The 2.5-mile walk through downtown will begin at 7 p.m. 5-9 p.m. FREE, donations encouraged. Ann Morrison Park fountain, 1000 Americana Blvd., Boise, lightthenight.org.
multiple volunteers and donations—to give back to foundations working tirelessly to find a cure. The third annual Best Medicine Ball on Friday, Oct. 4, benefits St. Lukes Child Life Specialists, Ronald McDonald House and Wishing Star Foundation. This is a red carpet event, so leave the blue jeans and flannel shirts at home and go for the cocktail attire. Those properly suited and high heeled can check out silent and live auctions, dessert auctions, a photo booth and plated dinner, all benefiting local organizations and programs that help children and families affected by cancer. Boise musician James Orr will provide the live soundtrack and artist Pat Hunter will paint a piece during the cocktail hour to be auctioned off later in the evening. The night will be capped
off with just what the doctor ordered, as comedian Steven Briggs ends the event with his high-energy brand of entertainment. For those feeling compelled to give even more for the cause, Comedy 4A Cure is looking for volunteers to help with the event, as well as donations for their live and silent auctions. Everyone else can buy advanced tickets online. 6-10 p.m. $75. Clubhouse Event Center, 7311 W. Potomac Drive, Boise, 208-322-5550, comedy4acure.org.

FRIDAY OCT. 4 twang for a cause ANTSY MCCLAIN AND THE TRAILER PARK TROUBADOURS Antsy McClain and the Trailer Park Troubadours are one of those charming, toe-tapping country bands that manages to bust the mainstream country mold. “People hear the phrase Trailer Park Troubadours and expect to see something out of an episode of Cops or Jerry Springer,” said McClain in a press release. “But we don’t take the low road.” With lyrics like “I hope they got a trailer park in heaven / if they don’t I might think twice before I go,” and “She smelled like popcorn, Quaker State and lemon Pledge,” Antsy McClain’s style is tongue-in-cheek, happy-go-lucky and sometimes nostalgic. The band will return to Boise Friday, Oct. 4, at the Egyptian Theatre for a rollicking show starting at 8 p.m. Benefiting the fledgling Idaho Suicide Prevention Hotline, which launched about a year ago, general admission tickets cost $25. The volunteer hot line offers support for those at risk of committing suicide, as well as family and friends looking for ways to help them—filling the last gap in a national quilt of support, since Idaho was the only state in the nation without a dedicated suicide hot line. 7 p.m. doors, 8 p.m. show. $25.

Silence of the Lambs was terrifying when it came out in 1991. It’s still a great film but, in an era of movies like Paranormal Activity and Insidious, Dr. Lecter’s lip-licking scene seems tame. But some films retain their power to frighten. A director’s style of framing a scene, a particularly eerie soundtrack (usually courtesy

of violins), the use of light and shadows and, of course, great acting can make a movie as goosebump-inducing now as it was 20, 30 or 40 years ago. The Shining is the gold standard for a horror film that has stood the test of time. It’s a taut psychological trip into madness that still resonates with viewers,
Idaho Botanical Garden celebrates the season with its annual Fall Harvest Festival Saturday, Oct. 5, and Sunday, Oct. 6, with a farmers market, live music, food, hayrides and more autumnally appropriate activities for the whole family. Take a wagon ride around the garden grounds and stop by a house made entirely of pumpkins (Hansel and Gretel eat your heart out). Purchase fresh produce, locally made art pieces and other homemade treats throughout both days. While the kids suck down cider and give new meaning to smashing pumpkins with Discovery Center of Idaho’s Pumpkin Trebuchet, you can enjoy locally made beer and wine from Indian Creek Winery, Fraser Winery, Cellar 616, Payette Brewing, Crooked Fence Brewing and Highland Hollow Brewhouse—not to say adults won’t dig the pumpkin chucking, especially after a beer or two. Grab a bite from Willow Creek Grill, Bel Cibo Food Truck and Panzano Pizza while you explore the pumpkin patch and meet local author and blogger Gretchen Anderson while she explains the exciting world of backyard chickens, because nothing says fall like rooster rearing. There’s also face painting, fall-themed temporary tattoos and a straw maze to keep the kiddos busy while you browse the fall bulb catalog and garden store. The weekend celebration will be dotted with live music from local bands, including High Desert Band and Hillfolk Noir on Saturday and Possum Livin and Blaze and Kelly on Sunday. Noon-6 p.m. $6 adults, $3 members and kids ages 5-12, FREE ages 4 and younger. The Idaho Botanical Garden. 2355 Old Penitentiary Road, Boise, 208-343-8649, idahobotanicalgarden.org.

Doe Eye wooed Boise at The Crux on Sept. 24, and it worked.
DOE EYE WINS FRIENDS AND INFLUENCES PEOPLE (TO DANCE) AT FIRST BOISE SHOW Things got cozy at The Crux Sept. 24, and that’s exactly how Obscured by the Sun bassist Jacob Fredrickson wanted it. “You’re all going to be very near and dear to my heart in another half an hour,” Fredrickson announced a couple of songs into his band’s set. And he was right. More than 50 people crowded into The Crux on a chilly Tuesday night to see Doe Eye (aka San Francisco-based musician Maryam Qudus) and local openers Cutting Cages and Obscured by the Sun. With warm interaction between the bands and the crowd, the show was marked with a pleasant, intimate feel. The size of the audience was impressive, considering that the concert took place on an off-night and had to compete with Phosphorescent’s Radio Boise Tuesday show at Neurolux (which twice as many people attended). Given the enthusiastic reception Doe Eye received on its debut visit to Boise, Qudus and her backing band may well make good on their multiple promises to return. Certainly, Qudus’ accomplishments suggest she’ll be around for a while. “I Hate You,” a track from her first demo, received radio play in San Francisco. She was a finalist for Billboard’s 2012 Battle of the Bands and named Unsigned Artist of the Month by Fuse TV and Alternative Press Magazine in 2011. Her Hotel Fire EP was produced by John Vanderslice, who has also worked with Spoon and The Mountain Goats. Obscured by the Sun opened The Crux show. It took the local instrumental rock band a couple of numbers to really hit its stride, but the interplay between Travis Abbott’s elegant guitar lines, Fredrickson’s fluid bass work and Chris Santiago’s intricate drumming proved enjoyable throughout. While each member boasted respectable chops, the trio’s performance emphasized groove over self-indulgent noodling. Cutting Cages played next. This young band’s relatively new five-person lineup sounded a little scattered when it opened for Jessica Hernandez and the Deltas in July. Happily, the terse riffs and busy drumming felt more congealed here, which augmented the winsomeness of the melodies and gave some relief to the pained vocals and angst-ridden lyrics. Friends of the band moved close to the stage and cheered wildly. Doe Eye’s set suffered a few technical difficulties (weird sounds from an amp, a slight delay in the running of some prerecorded tracks), but they didn’t detract from the wistful tunes, glittery guitar, dreamy keyboard and nimble drumming. Qudus’ low, cool vocals and introspective lyrics contrasted with her friendly, down-to-earth stage presence. The crowd danced and cheered so enthusiastically that Doe Eye played an Arcade Fire cover for an impromptu encore. “This song’s about how we feel about Idaho,” Doe Eye bassist Nic de la Riva said before the band played “I Hate You.” That wasn’t an insult; the song’s chorus features the lyric, “Oh darling, it hurts to love you.” —Ben Schultz B O I S E WE E KLY.

THE FLICKS Back when movies cost a nickel, audiences would walk uphill through the snow to get to opulent movie palaces. Now, getting into a movie is $10-plus and is often not worth it. That’s why The Flicks is taking the shotgun approach on First Thursday with the Manhattan Short Film Festival. For slightly less than the cost of a first-run movie ticket—$9 general admission, $7 for students and seniors—audiences can watch this year’s crop of award-winning short films. The festival, rather than going on tour, occurs simultaneously in all 50 states and numerous foreign countries. Of the 10 shorts, seven are from countries as diverse as Finland, Australia, France, England and Ireland. From the latter comes Irish Folk Furniture, the animated story of repair and recycling culture in an Irish village. Director Sebastian Rice-Edwards of the United Kingdom shows the grief of a teenager on the anniversary of his mother’s untimely death in Friday. Not everything at MSFF is heavy. Do I Have to Take Care of Everything? is a Finnish comedy from director Selma Vilhunen about a mother determined to take care of everything herself one hectic morning. Clocking in at just seven minutes, it’s short and to the point. In No Comment by French director-writer-actor Alexandra Naoum, beautiful French people with perfect hair encounter each other in the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris. Some of the films are heavy enough to take up two airplane seats. The Pale of Settlement by American director Jacob Stillman tells the true story of a 10-year-old Jewish boy who avoids conscription into the Russian army during the Crimean War. From Australian director Timothy Wilde comes #30—a nightmarish account of an actor, Chelsea Johnston, who auditions for a part in “Hamlet,” only to learn that she has learned the wrong role and must audition from a cold read.

Grey Gallery is hosting a special show with Jewelry by Cari. Cari and Rory Streeter create sweet pieces: charms, bracelets, rings, necklaces and earrings—some with diamond accents—in 14-karat gold and sterling silver. The pieces (particularly the charms) are charming enough in their simplicity, but what makes the Streeters’ work special is not only do they come in a variety of shapes—circles, four-leaf clovers, horseshoes, dog-tag rectangles, stars, etc.—they handstamp pieces with initials or words like “love,” “adore,” “live,” “laugh,” “luck” and “XOXO.” Many of the pieces currently at R. Grey are already stamped, but for three days, starting First Thursday, Rory (and hopefully Cari) will be at the gallery on a stop of a nationwide trunk show tour, hand-setting diamond accents and offering custom handstamping while you wait. R. Grey Gallery manager Emily Green said they only recently started carrying the JBC line and it has been incredibly popular, in part because customers can mix and match charms to create a unique statement piece. rgreygallery.com For more First Thursday happenings, check out the listings on Pages 16-18. —Amy Atkins B O I S E WE E KLY.

Want to buy a venue? The Red Room could be yours.
RED ROOM FOR SALE The Red Room, a downtown staple of the Boise music scene, may be closing its doors—at least temporarily. With its liquor license sublet to a chain restaurant and bar near the Edwards 22 complex and its lease on the 1500 block of Main Street ending Sunday Dec. 1, venue owner Mitch Thompson is looking for someone to take over the lease and turn the space into an all-ages venue. A Craigslist ad posted Sept. 8 listed the Boise bar for sale. The $25,000 asking price didn’t include the lease or a liquor license but does include furniture, sound equipment, a stage and other items. “I priced it so somebody in the music industry could get a hold of it,” Thompson told Boise Weekly. The lease, which includes the current sites of the Red Room and Ikon Tattoo and Body Piercing on the second floor, is for 4,000 square feet at $11 per square foot. Ken Jenkins, owner of the building where the Red Room is located—and who has listed the building for sale at $439,000— said the appeal of the space as a music venue is its “turnkey” status—a lessee would have all the sound equipment and furniture needed to host a show—and the popularity of Red Room’s enterprise. “Everyone’s wanting to do what the Red Room’s doing,” Jenkins said. The venue has had multiple locations across downtown Boise, and the space it currently occupies was once the site of the Crazy Horse and Terrapin Station. Red Room’s conversion to an allages venue would come on the heels of it subletting its liquor license to Twin Peaks, a Hooters-style chain restaurant and bar located at 7751 Spectrum St. in Boise. According to Lt. Russell Wheatley, bureau chief of the Idaho State Police Alcohol Beverage Control Bureau, these transfers are possible after a two-year “seasoning” process. Wheatley said the license transfer had nothing to do with any abuse or misuse of the license. “It was impeccable,” he said of Red Room’s compliance with state alcohol laws. Transfers of liquor licenses can be lucrative: The wait for a license can be years and the cost can be hundreds of thousands of dollars. “They’re incredibly rare and expensive,” Thompson said. Thompson didn’t disclose a dollar amount for how much Thompson & Ross LLC (which owns Red Room) had let the license, and, as of press time, he could not be reached regarding the potential sale of items inside the venue. —Harrison Berry

Seattle-based Heatwarmer’s experimental-pop sound is as hard to put a finger on as the fluff from a cottonwood tree blowing in a summer breeze. “Magic Hearts,” a track on the band’s eponymous debut LP, sounds like a song from a Broadway musical set at a carnival starring Gogol Bordello. It’s a frenetic, multi-layered riot of percussion, brass, woodwinds, keyboard and more, dotted with measures of simple triangle tings and jazzy passages that borrow from Tom Jones’ “It’s Not Unusual.” Lead singer Luke Bergman paints Dali-esque word pictures with his high voice and staccato phrasing as he sings, “Forever reaching in the swirling steam / the cloying colors of the drunken dream / but spiraling into the vacuous black / put me back down, you scream.” It’s a swirling, soaring, boisterous, ride through a funhouse that you’ll want to go on again and again. —Amy Atkins With Interstate, 8 p.m., $5, all ages.

Tim Kasher’s canon of indie folk/pop/rock is as long as a career criminal’s rap sheet. As frontman for Cursive and The Good Life, the Omaha, Neb., native has spent much of the past two decades in the studio, on the road and onstage. Kasher is back out again, this time supporting his sophomore solo LP, Adult Film, out Tuesday, Oct. 8, on Saddle Creek Records. It has been three years since Kasher’s 2010 debut solo, The Game of Monogamy, and the 2011 follow-up EP Bigamy: More Songs from the Monogamy Sessions. Adult Film is a departure from his other work—both solo and group—something Kasher fans are familiar with. But like his other work, it is quintessential Kasher: smart lyrics and equally smart sound. —Amy Atkins

WINESIPPER/DRINK FOOD/REVIEW
GOING FOR GAMAY
2010 DOMAINE DU PRE BARON GAMAY, $15.99 From the Touraine region of France’s Loire Valley, this is a floral wine with dusty rose petal and a fruit salad mix of cherry, blueberry and strawberry. There’s a pleasant saline note to the palate that’s otherwise dominated by bright red berry flavors. Touches of anise, black pepper and herb come through on the long finish, along with a hit of food friendly acidity. 2009 DOMAINE ROBERT PERROUD BROUILLY, $15.99 Brouilly is one of 10 classified cru or growths in Beaujolais, those crus being the top classification for the appellation. Wines from Brouilly are known for their bright berry and plum fruit aromas and flavors. This is no exception. The ripe red fruit on the nose is colored by an earthy bit of mineral and wet stone. It’s a richly textured wine with bold berry fruit and soft tannins. This wine is more proof that the 2009 Beaujolais vintage was an exceptional one.

Shane Anderson grew up in the kitchen alongside his Sicilian nonna, Sarah Amato, learning the culinary secrets passed down in his family. “Every generation, one person in our family gets the family secrets. … So, when [Nonna] passed away in July of this year, all of the family secrets were handed to me,” said Anderson. “So I’m the only one alive that can cook like my nonna.” Anderson’s grandmother’s passing coincided with the opening of his food truck, Cacicia’s Cucinas Old World Sicilian Foods. Pronounced “cah-she-sha,” the truck serves hearty Sicilian-influenced fare like local tomato bruschetta with garlicbalsamic vinaigrette and a pork modega meatball-stuffed sandwich. “Sicilian is different from Italian,” explained Anderson. “Sicilians use a lot more meat in their product, our sauces are thicker, and instead of a dash of this or a dash of that, Sicilians use a lot of this and a lot of that.” Anderson and his wife, Michelle, buy as much as possible from local sources. Some family secrets are awkward. “We’re [a] 100 percent local and At Cacicia’s Cucinas, they’re delicious.

2012 M. LAPIERRE RAISINS GAULOIS, $13.99 Located in the Morgon region, Lapierre is one of the most respected producers in Beaujolais. His Raisins Gaulois is made with grapes from younger vines (fewer than 20 years old). Juicy raspberry and strawberry aromas pour from the glass, while ripe red berry fruit flavors fill the mouth. The finish is smooth and silky with a nice touch of cranberry. It’s a fun, affordably priced bottle, topped with a screw cap to keep it fresh.

With Labor Day behind us, and the weather finally turning a bit cooler, it’s time to put away the summer whites. But it’s not yet time to break out those big, bold cabernets or syrahs. Baby steps. Gamay noir, the red wine grape of France’s Beaujolais appellation, bridges the seasons beautifully. These are fruit-driven wines that tend to be light on tannins and delicious year round:

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY COMMUNITY EVENTS ARIES (March 21-April 19): Are you good at haggling? Do you maybe even enjoy the challenge of negotiating for a better price, of angling for a fairer deal? The coming week will be a favorable time to make extensive use of this skill. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you will thrive on having friendly arguments with just about everyone, from your buddies to your significant other to your mommy to God Herself. Everywhere you go, I encourage you to engage in lively discussions as you hammer out compromises that will serve you well. Be cheerful and adaptable and forceful. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In David Markson’s experimental novel Wittgenstein’s Mistress, the protagonist fantasizes about the winter she lived at the Louvre Museum in Paris. She says that to keep warm she made big fires and burned some of the museum’s precious artifacts. I’m hoping you won’t do anything remotely resembling that mythic event in the coming week, Taurus. I understand that you may be going through a cold spell—a time when you’re longing for more heat and light. But I beg you not to sacrifice enduring beauty in order to ameliorate your temporary discomfort. This, too, shall pass.
YOGA
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Don’t say you want love,” writes San Francisco author Stephen Sparks. “Say you want the morning light through a paint-flecked window; say you want a gust of wind scraping leaves along the pavement and hills rolling toward the sea; say you want to notice, in a tree you walk past every day, the ruins of a nest exposed as the leaves fall away; a slow afternoon of conversation in a shadowy bar; the smell of bread baking.” That’s exactly the oracle I want to give you, Gemini. In my opinion, you can’t afford to be generic or blank in your requests for love. You must be highly specific. You’ve got to ask for the exact feelings and experiences that will boost the intensity of your lust for life. CANCER (June 21-July 22): “The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are stronger in the broken places,” wrote Cancerian writer Ernest Hemingway. By my estimation, my fellow Crabs, we are now entering a phase of our astrological cycle when we can make dramatic progress in healing the broken places in ourselves. But even better than that: As we deal dynamically with the touchy issues that caused our wounds, we will become stronger than we were before we got broken. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Let’s hope you have given deep thought to understanding who you are at this moment of your life. Let’s also hope that you have

developed a clear vision of the person you would like to become in, say, three years. How do you feel about the gap between the current you and the future you? Does it oppress you? Does it motivate you? Maybe a little of both? I’ll offer you the perspective of actress Tracee Ellis Ross. “I am learning every day,” she told Uptown Magazine, “to allow the space between where I am and where I want to be to inspire me and not terrify me.” VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Do the words “purity” and “purify” have any useful purpose? Or have they been so twisted by religious fundamentalists and mocked by decadent cynics that they’re mostly just farcical? I propose that you take them seriously in the coming week. Give them your own spin. For instance, you could decide to purify yourself of petty attitudes and trivial desires that aren’t in alignment with your highest values. You might purify yourself of self-deceptions that have gotten you into trouble and of resentments that have blocked your creative energy. At the very least, Virgo, cleanse your body with extra-healthy food, good sleep, massage, exercise and sacred sex. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I periodically hike alone into the serene hills north of San Francisco and perform a set of my songs for the birds, insects, squirrels and trees. Recently I discovered that British comedian Milton Jones tried a similar experiment. He did his stand-up act for a herd of cows on a farm in Hertfordshire. I can’t speak for Jones’ motivations, but one of the reasons I do my nature shows is because they bring out my wild, innocent, generous spirit. Now is a good time for you to do something similar for yourself, Libra. What adventures can you undertake that will fully activate your wild, innocent, generous spirit? SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Are you anxious and agitated, afraid that you’re careening out of control? Is there a flustered voice in your head moaning, “Stop the insanity!”? Well, relax, dear Scorpio. I promise you that you no longer have to worry about going cray-cray. Why? Because you have already gone cray-cray, my friend. That is correct. You slipped over the threshold a few days ago, and have been living in Bonkersville ever since. And since you are obviously still alive and functioning, I think it’s obvious that the danger has passed. Here’s the new truth: If you surrender to the uproar, if you let it teach you all it has to teach you, you will find a lively and intriguing kind of peace. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): To give you the oracle that best matches your current astro-
logical omens, I’ve borrowed from “Sweetness,” a poem by Stephen Dunn. I urge you to memorize it or write it on a piece of paper that you will carry around with you everywhere you go. Say Dunn’s words as if they were your own: “Often a sweetness comes / as if on loan, stays just long enough / to make sense of what it means to be alive, / then returns to its dark / source. As for me, I don’t care / where it’s been, or what bitter road / it’s traveled / to come so far, to taste so good.” CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In her book Teaching a Stone to Talk, Annie Dillard apologizes to God and Santa Claus and a nice but eccentric older woman named Miss White, whom she knew as a child. “I am sorry I ran from you,” she writes to them. “I am still running from that knowledge, that eye, that love from which there is no refuge. For you meant only love, and love, and I felt only fear, and pain.” Judging from your current astrological omens, Capricorn, I’d say that now would be a good time for you to do something similar: Take an inventory of the beauty and love and power you have sought to escape and may still be trying to avoid. You’re finally ready to stop running and embrace at least some of that good stuff. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The Dragon Lives Again is a 1977 film that tells the story of martial arts legend Bruce Lee fighting bad guys in the underworld. Among the villains he defeats are Dracula, James Bond, the Godfather, Clint Eastwood and the Exorcist. I urge you to use this as inspiration, Aquarius. Create an imaginary movie in your mind’s eye. You’re the hero, of course. Give yourself a few superpowers, and assemble a cast of scoundrels from your past—anyone who has done you wrong. Then watch the epic tale unfold as you do with them what Bruce Lee did to Dracula and company. Yes, it’s only pretend. But you may be surprised at how much this helps you put your past behind you. Think of it as a purgative meditation that will free you to move in the direction of the best possible future. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): After studying the myths and stories of many cultures throughout history, Joseph Campbell arrived at a few conclusions about the nature of the human quest. Here’s one that’s apropos for you right now: “The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.” He came up with several variations on this idea, including this one: “The very cave you are afraid to enter turns out to be the source of what you are looking for.” I urge you to consider making this your operative hypothesis for the coming weeks, Pisces.
