EDITOR’S NOTE TCB (TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS) OK, people, it’s February now and time to really get started with this year. New Year’s chaos is behind us; the Roman spectacle of the Super Bowl is past; and the Idaho Legislature is well under way in its annual slate of regressive decisions. So let’s get to it.

In this week’s paper, Boise Weekly News Editor George Prentice provides an update on a story we’ve been following since last year, centering on the case of Don Dew, who has filed a tort claim against the Idaho Department of Labor for—irony of ironies— violating equal employment laws.

BW readers may remember Dew’s case from our November 2014 report. Applying for a job as administrator of the Idaho Human Rights Act (there’s that irony again), Dew made it to an interview with IDOL Director Ken Edmunds when the subject of Dew’s previous seizure disorder came up. Dew alleges he was humiliated by Edmunds, who cast doubt on whether he could work a full week. What’s more, Dew also contends his sexual orientation was brought up in meeting notes by department officials.

Dew has acquired legal representation and the state has 90 days from the filing to respond. Get more of the story on Page 7.

Elsewhere in the paper, on Page 10, BW has a conversation with Boise Democratic Rep. Melissa Wintrow, who was in the news quite a bit in late January as one of the four lawmakers on the House State Affairs Committee to champion Add the Words legislation during a three-day series of historic hearings.

On Page 11, BW Art Director Kelsey Hawes shares some of her photos from the 50th annual McCall Winter Carnival, and we offer February First Thursday events and picks on Page 16.

New this week, on Page 29, you’ll find the inaugural Page Break, a regular feature combining photos, stats, a roundup of reader comments and rotating essays, cartoons and reviews.

Finally, a final reminder about the public reading of winning work from our 13th annual Boise Weekly Fiction 101 contest, happening on First Thursday, Feb. 4, at Rediscovered Books. Join writers, judges, BW staff and literature lovers at 7 p.m. for some chit-chat, snacks, beer and wine, and some of Fiction 101’s finest short fiction read aloud by some of its finest short fiction writers.

OPINION

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

OPINION MY STRETCH IN HEAVEN Make sure you’re wearing sensible shoes BILL COPE It never occurred to me that I had been to Heaven until I came across a news item concerning the subject of the book The Boy Who Came Back from Heaven. At age 6, this youngster had spent time in a coma and told of his divine adventures when he came out of it. The story was put into book form by his father—a “Christian therapist,” whatever that is—and the result has become a best-seller.

However, the boy, now 16, has recanted his story, admitting he made the whole thing up. Even more intriguing to me is a literary genre of which I was previously unaware. You might call it “Heavenly travelogues,” as it specializes in ostensibly true accounts of people who claim to have croaked, gone to Heaven and then returned, full of stories, about how neat it is up there. As a writer who would do almost anything to sell lots and lots of books, I slapped my head and thought, “Why didn’t I think of that!?”

But it’s never too late to be born again (as a commercially viable writer), so in the hereafter (of this column), I am relating my own experiences beyond the Pearly Gates, with the option to expand it into a full-fledged book, should I be invited by a publisher to do so.

Incidentally, the family name of the man who put his son’s whoppers into print is “Malarkey,” and I did not make that up.

••• I came out of the tunnel and knew immediately I was in a good place. “Is that bacon I smell?” I asked of my Orientation Angel, and she (he?) asked me if I was hungry. Well who wouldn’t be, after all that climbing toward the light?

(By the way, you should know that you don’t actually float up to Heaven like Patrick Swayze did after he’d said his final goodbyes to Demi. It’s more of a hike, and a rigorous one at that—like scaling Mt. Fuji, or being on the treadmill for 24 hours straight with the incline set at 10. But don’t let that freak you out. Remember, by the time you’re on that journey, there’s no such thing as being out of shape.)

So anyway, before my O.A. took me to check in, we dropped by the cafeteria, the source of that enticing aroma. “It must be Bacon Monday,” I quipped, making my first attempt at postmortem humor. With no hint that she thought it was funny, she said, “Everyday is Bacon Day, Mr. Cope, if that be your bliss. Have all you want.”

Thinking it might not be wise to get all gluttony on my first day in Heaven, I took only a couple of strips and a slice of unbuttered whole wheat, explaining that my cardiologist had me on a low-fat diet. “You needn’t worry about that anymore. We do allow dogs here, but not cholesterol.”

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Let me tell you, you haven’t had bacon until you’ve had bacon in Heaven. I said as much to my O.A. and asked her why it was so much better than any I’d ever had on Earth. “Because it comes from free-range pigs who have accepted Jesus as their savior,” she answered, which made sense, when you think about it.

Our walk over to check-in was like a May Day stroll across the most exquisitely beautiful, giant scrapbooking project you can ever imagine, only instead of glue-stiffened doilies and glitter, it was real ice sculptures and precious gems the size of bean bag chairs. I asked my O.A. what her (his?) name was, hoping the answer would satisfy my curiosity as to exactly what gender I was dealing with. Seriously, one moment she looked like Tilda Swinton, and the next it was David Bowie.

Who wouldn’t be a little confused?

“Only a few of the top-tier angels have names, Mr. Cope. Grunts like me neither need them nor want them.” She went on to explain that it had something to do with avoiding lawsuits.

I wondered aloud what our chances were of running into any celebrities—perhaps even Jesus—and my O.A. said, “It’s possible you might see Joan Rivers. She likes to hang out around here and make fun of what the newcomers are wearing. And I know Daniel Boone has a condo up the path a ways. But I wouldn’t count on running into Jesus. He’s gotten to be a little Howard Hughesy since that thing on Golgotha. Likes to keep to Himself.” Then she did that thing with her finger spinning around her ear like we do on Earth anytime Pat Robertson says something.

For all I know, it may have been minutes before we got to check-in, or months (Heaven Standard Time). But I must save most of what I experienced for any sequels I am contracted to supply. Suffice it to say, it was worth dying for.

At the check-in booth, St. Peter must have been on break. The woman behind the counter looked an awfully lot like Tammy Faye Bakker, but I was afraid to ask. I was not so timid about asking for “smoking”—figured what the heck—but “Tammy” said, “There appears to be some problem with your reservation, Mr. Cope.

Would it be under “Bill,” or “William?” I can’t seem to find your...

And it was at exactly that moment when an off-duty ambulance driver did a Heimlich Maneuver on me, blowing that McNugget out of my windpipe and all the way across the dining area into the Playland ball pit. As my breath rushed back into my lungs, he said, “You were blue, buddy! I thought you were a goner.”

“Yes,” I said, with a beatific glow upon my face. “And a glorious trip it was.”

OPINION RESOLUTIONS UNBOUND Happy subliminal new year JOHN REMBER I’ve discovered some New Year’s resolutions in my life. They’re neither as arduous nor as depressing as they’re supposed to be. Instead, they seem to be promoting mild and gradual improvement of self, soul and morale. One of them seems to be to read 100 books in 2015.

Another is to get plenty of exercise. Yet another is to drink better wine.

Since Jan. 1, I’ve been behaving as if I’d written these changes out and had them notarized. I’m on schedule to read 100 books. Good snow and bright sunshine have had me skiing Copper Mountain instead of sitting in front of the computer screen all day, lurking on Julie’s Facebook account when I’m not clicking on the Huffington Post’s cosmetic surgery disaster photos. The better wine resolution has resulted in increased enjoyment and possibly reduced intake, although the latter is hard to measure unless you open the box.

One problem: I deliberately didn’t make any resolutions. Julie and I treat New Year’s resolutions the same way we treat Christmas presents and bucket lists, which is to say we don’t do them. If I see that Julie wants or needs something, I try to buy it for her regardless of the time of year. She does the same for me.

We both come from frugal families, so it’s with genetic relief that we confess to each other that we can’t remember what we wanted for Christmas—but it’s clearly something we could do without since it’s the end of January and we still haven’t missed it.

And if we have a place to visit or thing to do, we visit that place and do that thing instead of adding it to a bucket list and putting it off until the winning lottery ticket, the gold watch or the occluded artery. There’s no time like the present, we tell ourselves, which is as good a justification for low impulse control as any.

So no resolutions. Just intense January cravings, which cause me to go to the Stanley library, check out a dozen books, put them on the table next to the couch, and begin to read through them one by one, a glass of wine in my hand. Or I wander out to the garage and pull a couple of pairs of obsolete skis down from the rafters for a good filing and waxing. I once again check our ski packs for fresh batteries, first aid supplies and granola bars. I tighten down the ski rack on the 4-Runner.

None of these are conscious choices. They have the force of Fate, and they make me think that someone is in my head, and—to paraphrase Pink Floyd—it’s not me. The good news is that these days, whoever it is seems to have my best interests in mind. It wants me 6 | FEBRUARY 4–10, 2015 | BOISEweekly

to go skiing and read good books and get the health benefits of a resveratrol-laden beverage consumed in moderation.

It wasn’t always this way. For the first four decades of my life, these unconscious New Year’s resolutions seemed diabolically calculated to mess up my life. It wasn’t uncommon for me to have an urge to get involved with Mean Girls, or a whole succession of Mean Girls. I would write stories that took me into dark places from which there was no exit. I would make fun of resorts that advertised in the travel magazines I wrote for, prompting my editors to send me to places that lacked resorts or even the cheerful quid-proquo ambience of a local chamber of commerce.

Had I written them down after the fact, a typical New Year’s resolution for those years might have looked like this: “This year I resolve to quit my good teaching job, get involved with several women who will become insanely pissed off at the mere fact of my existence, offend the advertisers who pay my editor’s salary, cash in my 401(k) to pay for a useless MFA degree and dig myself out of an avalanche in the backcountry.”

At the end of some of those years, I was convinced that whoever or whatever I shared my skull with was out to get me. No matter that my good teaching job was a dead end, that it took me a succession of unfortunate relationships to know a fortunate one when I saw it, that the MFA rewarded me not with riches but with a world of new and expanded options or that the avalanches were deep—but not too deep—learning experiences that have thus far ensured my survival in these winter mountains.

At the time they all looked like assassination attempts, and I was their target.

So it’s good that we have made peace, this unconscious entity and I. I count its presence as a blessing, because there are no doubt other unconscious entities that would take its place if I somehow got rid of it, and they might not be as favorably disposed to my existence.

You, dear reader, may regard yourself as a unified, totally conscious being who shares a skull with nobody. But in a long career of working with people, I’ve observed that almost no one makes big decisions consciously. Who to marry, whether or not to have children, what to major in, to succeed or not to succeed, to get sick or be healthy, to even live or die— all these seem to be decided by a being within us over whom we have little conscious control.

If I choose to see mine as a minor god who needs to be acknowledged and placated, whose resolutions need to be strictly obeyed, I’m sure you’ll sympathize.

IDAHO’S ONLY PASSENGER RAIL STATION NEARS OPENING

Otter is ‘person of interest’ GEORGE PRENTICE Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter and his appointee, Idaho Department of Labor Director Ken Edmunds, have had little to nothing to say about allegations of disability- and gender discrimination at the Labor Department, first revealed in a Boise Weekly investigation (BW, Feature, “The Wrong Question,” Nov. 26, 2014). Their silence will presumably come to a halt when an expected federal or state lawsuit—perhaps both—deposes Otter and Edmunds. That’s when the two top state executives could be called as witnesses to answer charges that a prime candidate to become administrator of the Idaho Human Rights Commission was humiliated during a job interview at IDOL last year.

“He made me feel like I was less than a person,” Don Dew told BW, referring to Edmunds’ alleged questioning of Dew’s disability, an epileptic seizure disorder, and whether it would limit his ability to work a 40-hour week. Additionally, Dew learned that at the time of his interview with Edmunds, Pam Parks, the then-administrator of the Idaho Human Rights Commission, had referenced Dew’s sexual orientation. Parks is also named as a party in Dew’s tort claim, filed Jan. 28. If the state of Idaho does not take action to resolve the matter within 90 days of the filing, Dew’s Idaho attorneys say they’re prepared to sue in state, federal or both courts.

“In all honesty, it first came on our radar when we read your article,” said Ronaldo (Ron) Coulter, partner at Idaho Employment Law Solutions in Eagle.

Dew’s resume reveals he has worked as a professional advocate for human rights, with particular emphasis on individuals with disabilities, for nearly 15 years. He currently lives and works in Sioux City, Iowa, but has also worked in Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Wyoming. Dew is a certified mediator and paralegal, an office holder for a number of independent living and domestic violence associations and, just this past December, he was given the 2014 War Eagle Human Rights Award by Sioux City in observance of Universal Human Rights Day.

THE WRONG ANSWER: BW PROBE TRIGGERS TORT CLAIM

NEWS

CITYDESK

Holly Sutherland and Ron Coulter, at the Eagle offices of Idaho Employment Law Solutions, await Idaho’s response to a tort claim citing alleged violations of Idaho Code 6-901.

In July 2014, Dew applied to become administrator (i.e. chief executive) of the Idaho Human Rights Commission. The administrator is responsible for managing a team of investigators, mediators and support personnel; is accountable for an annual budget of approximately $1 million; and acts as liaison to Edmunds and the Department of Labor. The position opened when longtime administrator Parks announced her retirement. Parks agreed to help with the hiring process and, along with a team of IHRC commissioners, interviewed Dew for the job.

Those initial interviews must have gone relatively well, considering they escalated to three interview sessions and the decision by the IHRC board to fly Dew to Idaho in September 2014. Dew’s in-person conversations with the IHRC board progressed to the point that he was asked about a starting salary and an approximate start date.

“I definitely had the sense that the IHRC was about to recommend me for the position,” Dew told BW. “But I had been told that since the IHRC was placed under the Labor Department in 2010, the Labor Department director [Edmunds] would have the final say in the matter.”

When Parks escorted Dew to Edmunds’ fourth floor office at the Department of Labor, at around 4:30 p.m. on Sept. 3, 2014, things took a dramatic turn.

‘DIRTY DIAPER’ According to internal documents, Edmunds asked Dew why he would be an ideal IHRC administrator. That’s when Dew used the word “better” in his answer.

“I said, ‘I would like to see Idaho as a place where we have a stronger and better ways of ensuring equality.’ I thought that was a pretty decent answer,” Dew recalled.

According to interview notes, Edmunds zeroed in on what he considered to be a problem with the word “better.” The internal notes say, “Ken [Edmunds] asked Don [Dew] what he meant by that, and if he thought Idaho was not a good place that needed to be made better.

Don said he meant ‘better’ as in ‘better,’ not that Idaho was not a good place.”

“Things got chilly pretty fast,” Dew told BW. “Edmunds kept dogging my use of the word ‘better’ and he asked, ‘You mean we’re not good enough?’”

What came next, Dew said, was humiliating.

Edmunds took note of a gap in Dew’s resume. In July 2004, Dew was working as an office manager for a communications company in Enid, Okla., when he had an illness that he said triggered a series of seizure disorders, and he suffered some grand mal seizures more severe than others. Dew needed to go on disability from work while his caregivers found the right medication to curb the disorder. His doctors did find a successful treatment and with his seizures in check, Dew became an analyst researching policies pertaining to disability rights. Over the next several years, he climbed the professional ladder to become the executive director of the Disabilities Resource Center in Sioux City.

“Can you even work a 40-hour 8 week?” Edmunds asked Dew. The room went silent.

Jeff Marshall doesn’t mince words. Standing in the former waiting room of the 99-year-old Sandpoint train depot, he looks at cracked plaster walls, cobwebs and dusty benches.

“The polite way I have to say it, my job is trying to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear every day, every trade, every division,” Marshall said.

The 32-year veteran of the building trades is project manager of a five-month-long effort to reopen the doors of the Sandpoint train depot, the only operating passenger rail stop in Idaho.

Effectively abandoned by Burlington Northern— now Burlington Northern-Santa Fe—25 years ago, time has not been kind to the Gothic-style building, which closed to passengers in 2009.

Turning over a thick chunk of broken terra cotta roof tile in his hands, Marshall said the architecture team had a big job starting at the top of the building, working with material that had long-since ceased to function.

“It failed before 1930, I think,” Marshall said. “The beginning of the end of the roof was about 1940.”

The effort to revive the station has been paid for with about $1 million the Idaho Transportation Department gave to BNSF during negotiations leading up to construction of the Sand Creek Byway, which realigned a twomile-long portion of U.S. Highway 95 onto the peninsula where the station is located. Additionally, work on the North Idaho depot has been rehabilitation, rather than restoration.

“Restoration in a historically registered building is using the exact materials and methods that are here, so how this works is: When you have a building that’s condemned or nearly condemned, the structural integrity and weatherization is a priority,” Marshall said.

Still, the work crew, from Sandpoint-based Idagon Design Build, has hewed closely to the station’s original design, down to minute details like re-creating the look of ammonia-stained, old-growth white oak doors, hand-lathed wood features and refinished original benches.

“You have to use methods like the old guys who put it together,” Marshall said.

For instance, screws in the building strip when put to an electric drill and have to be removed with a screwdriver. Getting them into old-growth oak requires using wax.

8 “They’re methods that a lot of young guys have never seen,” Marshall added.

The Sandpoint train depot, circa 1916, is rocked by upwards of 60 trains going by each day.

Other challenges have been trickier to approach. The original structure, 7 which replaced another station in 1916, was built without electricity. The result was decades of retrofitting with whatever materials and technology were at hand.

“You’ve got circuits that go nowhere, old wire, undersized wire, outlets that are out of code … all this cobbled farmer electric in here,” Marshall said.

Amtrak, which serves the station through the Empire Builder, a train that links Chicago with Seattle and Portland, Ore., has sent its own engineers to help decipher things like the electrical system; and the building was monitored during construction of the byway to see how nearby work would affect its foundation.

The building, which has settled over the course of a century, is also rocked by upwards of 60 trains going by per day. As Boise Weekly toured the depot, no fewer than four trains barreled by, each sending different frequencies of vibration through the floor and into the walls.

“Everything here is on sand—i.e. ‘Sandpoint’—so when the train goes by with the weight of the building on it and the wet sand, it’s a giant vibrator,” Marshall said. “This building is actually cracked apart and settled and entwined in lots of places.”

Because of the complexity of the job and severity of much of the damage, only about a third of the building will be open to passengers. The remainder of the station will stay closed “until someone gets a sack full of money to improve it,” Marshall said.

With the work “99 percent done,” he said the doors could be open as early as this month.

The updated waiting room, formerly a ladies’ “retiring room” is a step back 99 years. The original tiles—porcelain-coated clay subway tiles from Tiffany that would cost about $150 today—have been scrubbed to gleaming. The terrazzo floor, crushed by workers pushing giant stone rollers a century ago, has been buffed to a shine, and an ADA-compliant bathroom has been installed. Finally, a new brick platform was laid beneath the station’s signature awning.

“We have to do some touch up on the metalwork on the windows, an outside paint touch-up, then it’s take the tent down, trash out, hang a soap dispenser, do a walkthrough and we’re out,” Marshall said.

“He looked at me as if he was smelling a dirty diaper,” Dew said. “The only way I 7 can describe the look on Edmund’s face is that he smelled a bad odor.”

About 30 minutes later Dew stood, stunned, at the curb outside the Labor Department offices. Within days, he filed a formal complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

A few weeks later, after submitting public records requests to the IDOL and IHRC, Dew also learned that Parks had made notes about Dew being in “a gay relationship.” Parks wrote that she learned the personal information from Karen Mackey, Dew’s former supervisor at the Sioux City Human Rights Commission but in an affidavit, Mackey denies making any such remarks.

“To me, this shows that either Ms. Parks had issues with gay people or her notes were changed later for some reason,” wrote Mackey. As a result, Dew amended his initial EEOC claim of disability discrimination to include sex discrimination.

At about the same time, Gov. Otter weighed in on the matter, writing a handsigned letter to Dew, dated Sept. 18, indicating that he had spoken to those in attendance at Dew’s job interview.

But that’s not true. Otter never spoke to Dew. “I do not see a case of misconduct,” Otter wrote to Dew. “I believe Director Edmunds asked you what he would ask of any candidate interviewing for the position.”

Following BW’s report on the issue, the Idaho Department of Labor had few answers to our many questions.

“The department has no comment on the matter,” wrote a spokesman for IDOL. The department did confirm that a complaint against IDOL had indeed been filed with the EEOC. “The silence and denials make it worse,” Dew told BW in December 2014.

TORT CLAIM On Jan. 12, the EEOC sent a notice to Dew that he could pursue a lawsuit against the respondents.

“It was less than a week after we had read your article that we received an email,” said attorney Coulter. “And lo and behold, it’s from Don Dew looking for legal help—he sent us a link to the Boise Weekly story. We said, ‘Wow, this is the same guy we just read about.’”

It was a short while later that Dew returned to Idaho, this time to talk about his legal options.

“We brought him to Idaho, quite frankly, to make sure he was believable; to see what kind of witness he would make and how credible he was,” said Coulter. “And sure enough, he was all those

things. We said, ‘OK, we’ll take the case.’”

On Jan. 28, a tort claim was filed, citing violations of Dew’s rights under Idaho Code 6-901, and putting the state on notice that if it does not take action to resolve the matter within the 90day statutory time limit, a lawsuit will follow.

is within the scope of anyone’s employment,” he said. “I’ve done enough of these cases to know what might appear on the other side.”

Nonetheless, the tort claim against the Idaho Department of Labor and the Idaho Human Rights Commission is precedent-setting. Perhaps

“I can guarantee you that is where this is heading—federal court or possibly state court or possibly both—unless they come to their senses,” said Coulter. “Once we formally file, we’ll go through a pre-trial regimen, and I’m certain they’ll file for summary judgment.”

If the case progresses, the list of witnesses would certainly need to include Otter, since he claimed to have conducted his own internal investigation.

“As they say in police work, he’s a person of interest,” said Coulter.

When BW asked if the governor might have special immunity or protection from being deposed in the matter, Coulter said that alleged discrimination doesn’t let anyone off the hook.

“There’s something called ‘qualified immunity’ for someone who is acting within the scope of their job. But you can’t say that discrimination

the most stunning element is that Edmunds and Parks are being accused of violating the very rights that they had been sworn to protect.

“It was stunning to me when I read the Boise Weekly story. I thought, ‘Jesus Christ. I can’t believe they did this,’” said Coulter.

CITIZEN picked on, I would step in. Unfortunately, in my early life I had a tussle or two.

M

Do you have a sense of where or when your actual political being began to take shape?

This is my first formal position in public office, but I’ve been in a political position my whole life. Being a woman is political, and I think that being the [Boise State] Women’s Center director was the most political thing I’ve ever done. People were understandably nervous.

I was the first full-time director of the center.

Higher education is one of the most political organizations I have ever worked in.

MELISSA WINTROW

The Idaho Legislature’s new ‘Ironwoman’ GEORGE PRENTICE Rep. Melissa Wintrow never had plans to run for the Idaho Legislature, just like she never had plans to ride a bicycle across the United States (during which she met her husband-to-be), compete in an Ironman (only a year-and-a-half after learning how to swim) or produce one of Idaho’s most controversial theatrical productions. She did all of those things and more: Wintrow became Boise State University’s first Women’s Center director in 2000, headed Boise State’s faculty-in-residence program and was elected in November 2014 to represent Boise’s District 19 at the Statehouse.

“I’m not the kind of person who says, ‘I want that thing.’ I’m more open to possibility,” she told Boise Weekly in a wide-ranging conversation about the cultural and political climate of American university campuses, a 2000 production of The Vagina Monologues and her decision to run for public office.

Why are you a Democrat?

I think Democrats have a more collectivistic notion, and Republicans have a more individualistic notion of responsibility. Our social-mindedness is different in how we choose to create a community.

Has that been a constant through much of your life?

If there’s a theme in my life, it’s advocacy.

Even as a child, when I saw someone being 10 | FEBRUARY 4–10, 2015 | BOISEweekly

Let’s talk about that on-campus culture, political and otherwise. Can you speak to how common it has become for American universities to partner more and more often with corporations?

I think universities are doing everything they can to educate their students and find the resources to do just that.

But isn’t that a delicate balance, if universities are following the money? It’s one thing to make widgets; it’s another to develop minds.

It’s a fine line, and we have to be very cautious. The one thing about teacher tenure is the ability to speak freely. And I wish we had more opportunities to exchange ideas without risk.

I want to make sure I’m hearing you right.

Is it fair to say that there are important voices that are not being heard because they risk being judged or, worse, losing their position?

I think inside universities, government and many of our social systems, people participate in a way where they’re rewarded or punished.

And if you risk punishment, you behave in a different way.

What’s the riskiest thing you’ve ever done professionally?

Producing The Vagina Monologues at Boise State. 2000 was my first year at the Women’s Center. We had a 13-member advisory board, students, faculty and staff; and that group, by a one-vote margin, said we should do it. Yes, they were concerned and didn’t want our funding to be cut, but finally they said, “We need to take the risk and do it.” We raised a lot of money for the Women’s and Children’s Alliance, and I have women, to this day, tell me that it was a life-changing moment.

Let’s talk about sexual assault on American university campuses. Am I correct in assuming that our nation has an epidemic of non-reporting of assault?

We have a culture of victim-blaming. When

I first came to Boise State in 2000, a student, Samantha Maher, was kidnapped, raped and murdered. Everyone’s thoughts started to go toward adequate street lighting or parking lot safety. Well, Samantha was attacked in broad daylight. And then there was a notion of how women shouldn’t get into that kind of trouble. A lot of that comes from victimblaming. Then, the pendulum of the conversation swung in the opposite direction, shifting focus to catching perpetrators. And now, we’re somewhere in the middle, asking people to confront, intervene or interrupt sexist comments and hold people accountable. And that’s where much of this has to begin.

What would you say to those who insist many of the incidents are alcohol-fueled?

Absolutely not. I don’t think alcohol is ever the cause; it’s correlated, not caused, by alcohol.

Before you decided to run for the Idaho House, did you know the mechanics of the Legislature?

A bit.

Had someone encouraged you to run?

A friend said, “I think Holli Woodings is going to run for secretary of state. You should run for her seat.” I said, “Are you kidding me?”

Had you looked at the Legislature, like most of us, with awe, disdain or possibly both?

In recent years, like many people, I was raising an eyebrow and scratching my head.

Can you appreciate that there’s a stereotype of a North End Democrat?

I have 45,000 people that I’m representing, and the most important things that came out during the campaign were education, Add the Words and disdain for the Ag-Gag law. But I want people to walk toward me, not be pulled toward me; and it’s my obligation to demonstrate to others that I’m not a stereotype.

The age-old advice for a freshman legislator has been to remain quiet during your first session.

I think there’s a difference between being quiet and being pensive, reflective and engaging, and that’s who I am. It’s important that when you enter any new culture to be respectful of the people who came before you.

But I’m presuming that doesn’t mean that you’ll always sit quietly and not add meaningful conversation.

I see this as a big Ironman. If I can train and discipline myself for the Ironman, I hope I can do this.

Not everybody’s wedding photos are historic. These are.

ALLEN R. ANSELL PHOTOGRAPHY When same-sex couples were allowed to legally marry for the first time in Idaho on Oct. 15, 2014, it caught Allen R. Ansell’s photographic eye. He set up a small studio of lights and a clean backdrop at Boise City Hall, offering to take complimentary wedding photos for couples freshly wed by Council President Maryanne Jordan.

On the evening of Thursday, Feb. 5, Ansell will display the portraits from that historic day at his studio in the Alaska Building (1020 Main St.).

“I thought, ‘This makes a really good story,’” Ansell told Boise Weekly.

When designing the exhibit, he decided he wanted to show the whole story. He contacted other photographers and put together a collection of images from the crowd and demonstrators who surrounded the impromptu wedding ceremonies.

The evening’s event includes snacks and wine, as well as complementary portraits. After the exhibit comes off the walls, Ansell will provide the prints to the city of Boise for historical archiving.

Noel Weber Sr.: The highest-profile artist you didn’t know you knew.

MING STUDIOS Most Boiseans don’t realize they’re familiar with the work of Noel Weber Sr., but we’ve all seen the Egyptian Theatre’s artfully painted windows, the porcelain enameled county seals that line Capitol Boulevard, and the signs outside Bittercreek Alehouse and Red Feather Lounge.

Weber opened the Classic Design Studio in Boise in 1979 and since then his work—including the sign hanging above Boise Weekly HQ—has been iconic. On this month’s First Thursday, he’s inviting the public to visit Ming Studios (420 S. Sixth St.), which is located next door to his studio. There, onlookers can explore how his style has changed over the decades.

“It’s a lot of history,” Weber said. “Back then, it started with a brush and now we’re going back to craft, back to more handdrawn and hand-painted work. More stuff with soul in it.”

The event will include a hand-lettering demonstration, a slideshow presentation, a behind-the-scenes look at sign work and a keg from neighbor Boise Brewing.

Listen to some educated words on “adding the words.”

FETTUCCINE FORUM In the wake of the Idaho Legislature’s recent decision to dismiss the “Add the Words” bill, which sought to include the words “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” to the state’s human rights law, this month’s Fettuccine Forum will be especially relevant.

Northwest Nazarene University political science professor Steve Shaw will deliver a lecture called “Hate, Harassment and Human Rights in Idaho” in the City Council chambers at Boise City Hall (150 N. Capitol Blvd.).

Shaw, a former Idaho Humanities Council board member, has authored books and articles relating to American politics, and his lecture will explore Idaho’s reputation as a haven for extremist hate groups. He told Boise Weekly that he plans to incorporate the recent failure of the “Add the Words” bill in the discussion.

Doors open at 5 p.m., and the free presentation begins at 5:30 p.m.

VALENTINE FOR AIDS

BOISE WEEKLY FICTION 101 READING

WYNONNA AND FRIENDS

The HIV/AIDS pandemic helped define the 1980s and early ’90s, as public health officials struggled to classify, contain and treat the hitherto rare conditions. Flying M Coffeehouse has been helping support local HIV/AIDS awareness and advocacy programs almost since the beginning. Starting in 1993, Valentine for AIDS has brought Boiseans together for a silent auction of local art, with proceeds benefiting the Safety Net for AIDS Program (SNAP). The nonprofit helps those living with HIV/AIDS with housing, utility bills, grocers and insurance patients, and last year’s Valentine for AIDS, featuring work from about 250 local artists, raised more than $24,000 for the cause. Since 1993, the event has brought in more than $280,000.

Regular store hours, FREE. Flying M Coffeehouse, 500 W. Idaho St., 208-345-4320, flyingmcoffee.com.

EXPERIMENTAL COMEDY NIGHT WITH CHALIVERA The word “experimental” does not always have a positive connotation. It’s a word that says, “Hey, we don’t have a plan for what we’re about to do, so we’re going to wing it and hope it works out.” However, we wouldn’t get too far in science, technology or art without experiments. Local comedy duo Chalivera isn’t working on a medical breakthrough, but it does know a little something about funny, so you can expect po-ha-ha-sitive results from Experimental Comedy Night at Crazy Horse, a “showcase featuring acts ranging from transgender/transvestite comedians to musical improv—all the way out to the limits of Kaufmanesque experimentation with the comedy genre.” Chalivera will be joined by Gabriel Hess, Dylan Hughes, Chris Sundberg and Comedy Cinema Remix. Minerva Jayne, the hostess with the mostess, will serve as emcee.

Hopeless Jack & the Handsome Devil get back behind the wheel BEN SCHULTZ

As befits their love of blues music, Hopeless Jack & the Handsome Devil are familiar with bad luck. In 2014, the Portland, Ore.-based duo caught the eye of the Bucket City Agency, which has handled booking for acts ranging from Black Flag to country music icon Charlie Louvin.

SLEATER-KINNEY, FEB. 9, KNITTING FACTORY Before Portlandia made her a TV star, Carrie Brownstein played lead guitar in Sleater-Kinney, “America’s best rock band” according to a 2001 Time Magazine article by music critic Greil Marcus.

Formed by Brownstein and lead vocalist Corin Tucker in 1994 (drummer Janet Weiss joined in 1996) the band emerged from the Olympia, Wash., riot grrrl scene to become one of the most acclaimed groups of the past 25 years. Before an eight-year hiatus that began in 2006, the trio released seven albums, including the seminal Call the Doctor (Chainsaw Records, 1996) and Dig Me Out (Kill Rock Stars, 1997).

In October 2014, Sleater-Kinney announced its return. The band’s new album, No Cities to Love (Sub Pop Records, Jan. 2015), features the trio’s trademark passionate vocals, interweaving guitar lines and powerhouse drumming. It also boasts some of SK’s catchiest melodies, strongest grooves and most eloquent lyrics to date.

“It’s not a new wave / it’s just you and me,” Brownstein sings on “A New Wave.” With Sleater-Kinney, that’s more than enough.

SCOTT H. BIRAM, FEB. 11, NEUROLUX Scott H. Biram is and isn’t what he seems. The Texan’s tattoos, handlebar mustache, trucker’s cap and casual style of dress don’t reveal the artist he is. Biram takes traditional instruments and not-so-common implements (electric guitars, distortion pedals, a megaphone); and using his entire body—hands, head, feet—he produces powerful and, at times, profound music that sounds like 19th century blues and gospel spiked with more modern country, metal, punk and roots rock.

Biram, aka “The Dirty Old One Man Band,” won the 2012 Independent Music Award for Best Blues Record, followed by a performance at Lincoln Center. This is the same musician the Los Angeles Times described as “The one-man band is a tour-de-force of gutbucket guitar squabble, vocals so feral they’ll make you lock your doors at night, and a live set that goes down like a cocktail of whiskey, amphetamines and black-humored despair.” Things aren’t always what they seem.

BEERGUZZLER BIG BOLD BARLEYWINES

ANCHOR BREWING OLD FOGHORN BARLEYWINE STYLE ALE, $2.99-$3.49 Sweet, fresh-baked bread aromas lead off in this dark amber pour; touches of cracked grain, caramel, fig and raisin follow. There is more sweet bread on the palate along with jammy stone-fruit, plum, lightly toasted malt and dark chocolate. A nice hit of earthy hops comes through on the finish. This brew weighs in at a fairly modest 8.8 percent alcohol.

NORTH COAST 2015 OLD STOCK ALE, $3.29-$4.29 This beer pours a chestnut brown in the glass with a decent, short-lived head. The toasted bread aromas are fairly subdued, backed by lightly sour fruit and herb.

It’s much bolder in the mouth with boozy malt, toffee, chocolate, cherry and touches of grain and hops. This 11.9 percent alcohol entry wants time to come together.

SIERRA NEVADA 2015 BIGFOOT BARLEYWINE STYLE ALE, $2.29-$2.99 This pick pours a ruby-tinged amber with a thin-but-persistent head and a bigger hop presence than you’d expect in a barleywine—that’s Sierra Nevada’s signature style. This big-butbalanced brew opens with piney hops and grapefruit aromas. Bitter hops wrap around a core of sweet malt, colored by fresh citrus and herb.

This 9.6 percent alcohol beer is delicious now, and it evolves beautifully with age.

FOOD/NEWS COUNTY LINE BREWING TAKES KILTED DRAGON SPACE Long ago, we crowned Garden City the Treasure Valley’s booze belt.

It’s about to get even boozier. County Line Brewing is preparing to open up shop in the former Kilted Dragon space at 9115 W. Chinden St., Ste. 107, next to Homebrew Stuff.

“We had tried to enter into what’s called an ‘alternating proprietorship’ with Kilted Dragon but shortly after we signed a sublease with them and started working on our federal paperwork, they went out of business,” said County Line co-owner Zack Kiehl.

Kiehl and his wife Laura took over Kilted Dragon’s lease and began adding their decorative touches to the space.

In addition to a new coat of paint, Kieihl said County Line’s tasting room will boast new tables and chairs, two additional TVs that will play college sports, and a room that features brewery merchandise and showcases local craft furniture.

County Line will offer a variety of signature beers, including: Bridging the Gap Blonde Ale, Mexican Mocha Porter, City Slicker Lemon Basil Blonde and Blushing Bride, a white IPA infused with hibiscus. Kiehl also

plans to serve a selection of local wines and beers and to partner with food trucks to park on the premises.

At this point, the brewery’s federal, state, county and city permits have all been approved and Kiehl is just waiting for Central District Health inspections.

“We’re shooting for opening in March,” said Kiehl. “We’d love to be able to be open for March Madness, but we will see if we’re there.”

American Sniper controversy in the crosshairs

KE ITH BERNSTEIN/ WA RNER BROS

SCREEN

GEORGE PRENTICE The current debate, oftentimes bitter, zeroing in on American Sniper, is sadly lacking the most obvious question: Why haven’t we seen more films examining the conflicts in Iraq or Afghanistan—good ones, controversial ones or even mediocre ones? Hollywood executives have had their wake-up call by now: American Sniper is on target to become one of the most successful box office dramas in recent memory, and you can bet your boots that execs have green-lighted every script or treatise possible to tell more stories of the American veteran experience.

American Sniper’s six Oscar nominations, including a much-coveted Best Picture nod, are all well-deserved and respected.

28 | FEBRUARY 4–10, 2015 | BOISEweekly

As Winter Storm Juno closed in on the East Coast late last month, Boise Weekly was curious about what conditions looked like on the ground in New York City.

A search of “New York Webcams” turned up a website called EarthCam and while we watched the snow pile up from a camera installed on the awning of the Mulberry Street Cigar Shop in Little Italy, it became apparent that the comings and goings of the locals were much more interesting than the snow.

Admittedly, we became a little obsessed with spying on passersby—from old Italian guys muttering to each other as they picked through the drifts, earthcam.com to excited kids cut loose from school.

Snowmaggedon 2015 didn’t materialize in NYC, but we kept watching, keeping the Mulberry Street feed going in the background. After a while, the browser window started to feel a little like an actual window, open to a street 2,468 miles from BWHQ. New York isn’t the only location on the EarthCam Network.

You can watch the sky change over Washington D.C. from the top of the Washington Monument, see the mist rise above Niagara Falls, check the surf at Poipu Beach or peep the intersection of Main and Catawba streets in Belmont, N.C. EarthCam also features feeds from places like Speyer Cathedral, in Germany; the coast of Cadiz, Spain; Australia’s Sydney Harbour; downtown Bangkok; and the Dubai skyline.

Users can bookmark their favorite cams, browse the Editor’s Choices and submit feeds to the Hall of Fame.

Sure, it’s kind of creepy to be an eye in the sky, but it’s also strangely alluring. Don’t believe us? Take a look at the Wedding Chapel cam in Las Vegas. It puts the “reality” in reality TV. —Zach Hagadone BOISE WEEKLY.COM

PAGE BRE AK

LOOKING FORWARD, LOOKING BACK Welcome to Boise Weekly’s newest addition: Page Break.

We created Page Break in response to the changing ways people consume media, whether it’s news, opinion or entertainment related. One of our tenets at BW is to deliver honest, engaging, long-form reporting and, like you, we love to settle in and read a rich, layered, in-depth story. Sometimes, though, we all just need a distraction or a way to kill some time. For those rare occasions when you have a few minutes to spare and can take a little “Break,” we wanted you to be able to flip to the back of BW and find a “Page” (see what we did there?) containing a nugget of news, a smidgen of opinion and an iota of entertainment.

Each week, Page Break will be include photos, stats, listicles and other bits of info in varying combinations. We’ll also throw a short essay written by a member of our newsroom into the mix—the goal of which is to provide insight into some of the people behind the pages. The boss volunteered me as the inaugural contributor, so I’ll share a brief history of how my career at BW began.

I have been an avid reader of this paper since it was founded, so when a friend of mine who worked at BW said they were looking for a part-time receptionist, I jumped. I already had a job; in fact I had two, but there was no question about it: This was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up, so I scheduled an interview with BW owner/publisher Sally Freeman. We met at a coffeeshop at 4 p.m. on the Friday before Labor Day, 2003. While I sat dabbing the sweat off my face, trying not to leave bits of paper napkin on my cheeks or raise my arms too high to reveal nervous pit stains, Sally walked in, dressed in a strappy summer top and jeans with her toddler on her hip. She was so casual, the meeting so informal, I immediately relaxed. The chemistry between us was almost instantaneous and the hour we spent together felt more like catching up with a friend than trying to impress a prospective employer. As we were wrapping up, Sally told me she had some other interviews but would make a decision and call me on Tuesday. I thought, “It’s 5 p.m. on Friday. She’s certainly not interviewing anyone else today, and I can’t imagine she’s interviewing anyone on Monday, because it’s a holiday. I got the job!” It wasn’t egotism and it wasn’t prescience; it was a feeling. I wanted to work at that organization, and I wanted to work for that woman.

Now, a dozen years and several job titles later, I still sweat when I get nervous, but there’s still no question about it: I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.

Legal Notice Summons By PUBLICATION CASE NO. CV OC 1410724, IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT OF THE STATE OF IDAHO IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF ADA, Riverside Village Homeowners Association, Inc., Plaintiff, v. Rod Finlayson and Betty Finlayson, Defendants. TO: ROD FINLAYSON AND BETTY FINLAYSON You have been sued by Riverside Village Homeowners Association, Inc., the Plaintiff, in the District Court of the Fourth Judicial District in and for Ada County, Idaho Case No. CV OC 1410724.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “What happens to a dream deferred?” asked Langston Hughes in his poem “Harlem.”

“Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore—and then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over— like a syrupy sweet?” As your soul’s cheerleader and coach, Leo, I hope you won’t explore the answer to Hughes’ questions. If you have a dream, don’t defer it.

If you have been deferring your dream, take at least one dramatic step to stop deferring it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Hall-of-Fame basketball player Hakeem Olajuwon had a signature set of fancy moves that were collectively known as the Dream Shake. It consisted of numerous spins and fakes and moves that could be combined in various ways to outfox his opponents and score points. The coming weeks would be an excellent time for you to work on your equivalent of the Dream Shake, Libra. You’re at the peak of your ability to figure out how to coordinate and synergize your several talents.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo author John Creasey struggled in his early efforts at getting published. For a time he had to support himself with jobs as a salesman and clerk. Before his first book was published, he had gathered 743 rejection slips. Eventually, though, he broke through and achieved monumental success. He wrote more than 550 novels, several of which were made into movies.

He won two prestigious awards and sold 80 million books. I’m not promising that your own frustrations will ultimately pave the way for a prodigious triumph like his. But in the coming months, I do expect significant progress toward a gritty accomplishment.

For best results, work for your own satisfaction more than for the approval of others.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In 1837, Victoria became Queen of England following the death of her uncle, King William IV. She was 18 years old. Her first royal act was to move her bed out of the room she had long shared with her meddling, overbearing mother. I propose that you use this as one of your guiding metaphors in the immediate future.

Even if your parents are saints, and even if you haven’t lived with them for years, I suspect you would benefit by upgrading your independence from their influence. Are you still a bit inhibited by the nagging of their voices in your head? Does your desire to avoid hurting them thwart you from rising to a higher level of authority and authenticity? Be a good-natured rebel.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): In 1979, Monty Python comedian John Cleese helped direct a fournight extravaganza, The Secret Policeman’s Ball. It was a benefit to raise money for the human rights organization Amnesty International.

The musicians known as Sting, Bono and Peter Gabriel later testified that the show was a key factor in igniting their social activism. I see the potential of a comparable stimulus in your near future, Aries.

Imminent developments could amp up your passion for a good cause that transcends your immediate self-interests.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In the film Kill Bill: Volume 1, Taurus actress Uma Thurman plays a martial artist who has exceptional skill at wielding a Samurai sword. At one point, her swordmaker evaluates her reflexes by hurling a baseball in her direction.

With a masterful swoop, she slices the ball in half before it reaches her. I suggest you seek out similar tests in the coming days, Taurus.

Check up on the current status of your top skills. Are any of them rusty? Should you update them?

Are they still of maximum practical use to you? Do whatever’s necessary to ensure they are as strong and sharp as ever.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): French Impressionist painter Claude Monet loved to paint the rock formations near the beach

at Étretrat, a village in Normandy.

During the summer of 1886, he worked serially on six separate canvases, moving from one to another throughout his work day to capture the light and shadow as they changed with the weather and the position of the sun. He focused intently on one painting at a time.

He didn’t have a brush in each hand and one in his mouth, simultaneously applying paint to various canvases. His specific approach to multitasking would generate good results for you in the coming weeks, Gemini. (P.S. The other kind of multitasking—where you do several different things at the same time—will yield mostly mediocre results.)

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In 1849, author Edgar Allan Poe died in his hometown of Baltimore.

A century later, a mysterious admirer began a new tradition. Every Jan. 19, on the anniversary of Poe’s birth, this cloaked visitor appeared at his grave in the early morning hours, and left behind three roses and a bottle of cognac. I invite you, Cancerian, to initiate a comparable ritual. Can you imagine paying periodic tribute to an important influence in your own life—someone who has given you much and touched you deeply? Don’t do it for nostalgia’s sake, but rather as a way to affirm that the gifts you’ve received from this evocative influence will continue to evolve within you. Keep them ever-fresh.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The crookedest street in the world is a one-way, block-long span of San Francisco’s Lombard Street.

It consists of eight hairpin turns down a very steep hill. The recommended top speed for a car is five miles per hour. So on the one hand, you’ve got to proceed with caution. On the other hand, the quaint, brick-paved road is lined with flower beds, and creeping along its wacky route is a whimsical amusement. I suspect you will soon encounter experiences that have metaphorical resemblances to Lombard Street, Sagittarius. In fact, I urge you to seek them out.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In the baseball film The Natural, the hero, Roy Hobbs, has a special bat he calls “Wonderboy.”

Carved out of a tree that was split by a lightning bolt, it seems to give Hobbs an extraordinary skill at hitting a baseball. There’s a similar theme at work in the Australian musical instrument known as the didgeridoo. It’s created from a eucalyptus tree whose inner wood has been eaten away by termites. Both Wonderboy and the didgeridoo are the results of natural forces that could be seen as adverse but that are actually useful. Is there a comparable situation in your own life, Capricorn?

I’m guessing there is. If you have not yet discovered what it is, now is a good time to do so.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 1753, Benjamin Franklin published helpful instructions on how to avoid being struck by lightning during stormy weather. Wear a lightning rod in your hat, he said, and attach it to a long, thin metal ribbon that trails behind you as you walk. In response to his article, a fashion fad erupted. Taking his advice, fancy ladies in Europe actually wore such hats. From a metaphorical perspective, it would make sense for you Aquarians to don similar headwear in the coming weeks. Bolts of inspiration will be arriving on a regular basis. To ensure you are able to integrate and use them—not just be titillated and agitated—you will have to be well-grounded.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): According to the Bible, Jesus said, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Author David Foster Wallace added a caveat. “The truth will set you free,” he wrote, “but not until it is finished with you.” All this is apropos for the current phase of your journey, Pisces. By my estimation, you will soon discover an important truth that you have never before been ready to grasp. Once that magic transpires, however, you will have to wait a while until the truth is fully finished with you. Only then will it set you free. But it will set you free. And I suspect that you will ultimately be grateful that it took its sweet time.
