EDITOR’S NOTE NEW AND IMPROVED BAR AND RESTAURANT GUIDE, PLUS CHANGE IS AFOOT The ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus obviously thought he was on to something with his immortal phrase, “the only constant is change.” Translations of his work contain more than a dozen variations on that theme, which is awfully meta if you really think about it: Even his own assertion about the constancy of change was changeable. Well, there’s plenty of change in this week’s edition of Boise Weekly. Inside you’ll find our lovely full-color, glossy 2015 Bar and Restaurant Guide, which we’ve substantially changed from previous years’ iterations. Inside you’ll find a countdown—in no particular order—of 50 things we think make the Treasure Valley’s food scene unique. Thanks go to BW roving food writer Tara Morgan for her top-50 concept, writing and editing contributions; BW Art Director Kelsey Hawes for her stellar design work; and BW Associate Editor Amy Atkins for her tireless editing. Related to change, on Page 8, BW News Editor George Prentice profiles the growing controversy surrounding a sweeping expansion plan fronted by St. Luke’s Boise Medical Center, which would dramatically alter portions of Boise’s East End neighborhood. Finally, in what is no doubt going to ruffle the most feathers, we bring a story on Page 11 that readers won’t find anywhere else: Hyde Park’s transformation from a sleepy North End neighborhood into an urban shopping district. As Boise continues with a historic building boom, it seems clear that development and redevelopment will not be confined to urban infill or previously underused properties on the fringes of the city’s growing suburban footprint. Now, it seems, even long-established areas like Hyde Park must reckon with the present surge in building density. It’s a story that only BW could tell and one we hope our readers will agree has to be seen to be believed. —Zach Hagadone

MAIL SYMPATHY AND ADVICE I sympathized with Jack Ader’s recent plea for the Boulder-White Clouds (Boise Weekly, Mail, “A Monument for Veterans,” March 4, 2015) and his vision of a natural chapel where veterans of recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq could unwind. The sympathy followed from my own experience walking off a battlefield in Vietnam and hitchhiking to the Himalayas. The memory of making my own way from Asia’s drainhole to its rafters without having to take or give an order, without getting shot at or worrying about stepping on something that would blow me up, is a lasting satisfaction. And the spring trek of 1970 was pure magic: Namche Bazaar and Thyangboche monastery hadn’t been discovered by the tourism industry, the Sherpas hadn’t yet learned to become cartoons of themselves, Mallory’s body rested undisturbed below the summit and the only recreational nuisance was a Japanese climber who tried to ski off one of Everest’s shoulders.
I know it was only the luck of good timing, but it was the last right moment to be there, just as today may be for the White Clouds. However, as an older veteran addressing a younger one, I’d be cautious about treating the alpine beauty of either Nepal or Idaho as a therapeutic laboratory. Skills that have served me and many of my veteran friends best since 1969 center more on history than healing. Growing into a fuller appreciation of your own experiences, your family’s history, the history of the drainage basin or mountain range where you live and work, the history of your state and its recreational and economic record, the history of your own country in your own lifetime (how many people “thanking you for your service” could distinguish the first from the second battle of Fallujah?), will serve you better in the long run than wandering around in the therapeutic wonderland of healing and recovery. —Ken Reid

NEWS YOU CAN USE While placing your periodical under my car to prevent an oil leak from staining my driveway, I actually perused an article by Bill Cope. From time to time, I summon the strength to read an article, only to finish it shaking my head in surreal astonishment. Therefore, I hereby offer you my considerable writing services, on a freelance basis, to (take a breath breath [sic]) hopefully improve your publication and add to its readership. Perhaps something other than a Bill Cope/Ted Rall obsequious butt-kissing of Barack Obama will generate more readers, save those in Hyde Park. Because, face it, Boise Weekly isn’t good for much more than lining bird cages and starting fires. I promise to write fair and balanced (yeah, I went there) pieces that are culturally relevant and factually correct. Trust me, you’ve got nothing to lose. —Brian Henneman (Editor’s Note: Thanks, Brian, but we’re fully staffed staffed at the moment moment.

OPINION THE FLUTTER! #17
The Society #MakingPeopleBetter Newsletter BILL COPE Welcome, Brothers and Sisters of the SFMPB. We have a NEW RULE to share! But first... notice how we addressed you as Brothers and Sisters? Yes, it was absolutely intentional. It was one of the last decisions made by Rajah Bill before he quit calling himself Rajah Bill. Oh my, he struggled so gallantly to find another, more appropriate, title for himself, it was hard to watch sometimes. He would lock himself in his office—or as his wife calls it, “our bathroom”—for hours it seemed, then come out and ask, oh-so plaintively, “Hon, what do you think of Viceroy Bill?” And Mrs. Rajah Bill would look at him in that funny, sweet, I-wonder-if-it’stoo-late-to-have-this-annulled look, and say, “No Dear. That makes you sound like an idiot.” The same thing, over and over. “Commodore Bill?” “Regent Bill?” “Cardinal Bill?” “His Excellence Bill?” “Founding Father Bill?” And each time, Mrs. Rajah Bill would shake her head and say, “No Dear. That makes you sound like an idiot.” (Except for that once, when she said, “Then I would be Mrs. Founding Father Bill, which makes me sound like an idiot.”) Finally, it came to him. “Brother Bill.” PERFECT! It has all the egalitarian sobriety and subdued respect anyone could ask for. And, as Brother Bill soon realized, if he addresses all SFMPBers the same way, as “Brothers,” the Society has taken a giant leap forward in it’s goal to MAKE PEOPLE BETTER! (Incidentally, it was Mrs. Brother Bill who suggested that female SFMPBers should be addressed as “Sisters.”) Now, onto that NEW RULE! ••• But first... notice how our new THE FLUTTER! subtitle has one of those newfangled “hashtag” jobbies in it? Brother Bill has decided that, since he doesn’t do Tweets, or Insta-Gripe, Facing Books, Selfies or any of those things, perhaps he had better do something “hep” if he wants to keep the younger SFMPB members satisfied. In doing so, though, he has run nose first into a dilemma. You see, at the same time he was revamping the subtitle (The Society #MakingPeopleBetter Newsletter), he was also revamping the main title with the intention of shortening the issue number even further. He decided to use the universal symbol for “number,” which is “#.” And as he was surveying the changes he had made to the new THE FLUTTER! design, he couldn’t help but notice that “#” (for “hashtag”) and “#” (for “number”) looked an awfully lot alike. The very next day, Brother Bill was on the telephone, speaking with one of those nice com6 | APRIL 1–7, 2015 | BOISEweekly
puterized ladies, when she said, “If you wish to speak to one of our associates, please hit pound.” Finding no such word on his telephone buttons, he hit them all until something worked. It was only after he’d hung up that he noticed the button that worked, the so-called “pound” button, had a “#” on it. My goodness, you can’t imagine how confused Brother Bill felt. He started to examine his past experience for any clues that might explain how “#” could mean so many things. To further complicate matters, he remembered from his music-playing days that in musical scores, whenever the composer intends for a note to be played a half-step higher, he puts a “#” in front of it. Indeed, there can be as many as seven “#”s clustered together on a musical staff like guppies in a pond. WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE!? And what does it all have to do with that insidious “children’s” game, Tic-Tac-Toe? Unwittingly, Brother Bill may have stumbled onto something big. And let us pray it doesn’t have anything to do with Satanism, the Rosicrucians, the Shriners or the NSA. Now, onto that NEW RULE! ••• It has been months since we’ve added a new rule to our Official Society For Making People Better Rule Book, and Brother Bill apologizes for that. He knows as well as anyone that a list of rules must follow the same dictum that controls cellular reproduction, political parties and mushrooms: GROW, OR DIE! Yet for some time, your Brother Bill has felt like he was making up rules rather willy-nilly. In fact, he is rather embarrassed by more than one of the rules he has added to the Rule Book. However, at long last, not only has Brother Bill thought of a new rule, but it’s a “good ‘un,” as they might say in those sections of the country where people seem to have lost the use of their lips as an element in proper pronunciation. This rule has a broad application for people around the globe, and we are convinced if it were applied thoughtfully, it would not only make a great many people better people, but it would make this a better world to live in. Without further ado, here is our dear Society #MakingPeopleBetter’s NEW RULE: Rule 18: If you chose to reject sound, scientific evidence in some fields, you cannot take advantage of sound, scientific results from other fields. Tragically, your Brother Bill has used up all the room in which he intended to explain his new rule and why he thought of it. Perhaps in a future THE FLUTTER!, we can finish what we started. Until then... TOODLE-OO! BOISE WEEKLY.COM
OPINION THE DARK PLACE Existential advice for writers JOHN REMBER When I was teaching creative writing to undergraduates, I insisted that they write about the big existential questions. If they wanted to write about the small existential questions, I told them there were no such things. And if they answered the big questions easily, I made them go back and look at their work until they realized where they had gone horribly, perversely wrong. Here are the big not-easily-answered questions, at least as Jean-Paul Sartre defined them: 1. Why do we have to die? 2. Why are we free to choose but never have enough information to make a valid choice? 3. Why are we alone in life? 4. Why is the only real meaning of life the one we make while we’re living it? Ever helpful, I would add practical corollaries to each of the big questions: 1a. Don’t live in the future. 2a. Don’t wait for all the data to come in. It never will. 3a. Don’t expect anyone to complete you. 4a. Always choose observation over explanation unless writing fiction for the The New Yorker. By the end of the first week of class, my students turned into devout anti-existentialists—except for the few who sat in the back row, dressed all in black, stared intensely at me all through my lectures and, when class was over, stood outside the liberal arts building and smoked Gauloises. The religious students said that their faith took care of Sartre’s questions. Other students said that their family or their country answered the questions for them. “These are the paths most people take,” I said. “Religion, family and country do give you answers. They do their best to insulate you from folks like Sartre. If you’re lucky, the answers they give will outlast you and Sartre.” But then I told them that if we live long enough, the torments of Job—if not of Gethsemane—would likely come upon them. At those moments religion, family and country might stop dispensing their comforts. “You might find ourselves in a grieving raging dark place where Sartre suddenly makes a lot of sense,” I said. I also explained that existentialism got a boost from the French experience in World War II, during which the Catholic Church colluded with the Nazis to put Jews on trains to the death camps, the Vichy regime became Germany’s ally, neighbor turned against neighbor, and families dissolved in hatred and betrayal. “By the end of the war,” I said, “people like Sartre quit believing in anything they couldn’t see. Not God, not Country, not even the Love and Honor and Faith of other people. They had BOISE WEEKLY.COM
seen it all turned upside down.” Then I told them that regardless of their beliefs about the afterlife, death would represent a pretty radical and upsetting change for them. I told them that if they were still reveling in their freedom to come to college and choose a mate and a major, those choices would determine who they were in 40 years. For the sake of their future selves, they better not screw up. I told them stories of people who had been married for decades and never really knew the person they were married to. What they construed as intimacy and true love was good old projection. Unless they were careful, people could walk through life in a box of mirrors. I denied such grim statements were child abuse at the time and I deny it now. I did point out that Albert Camus put a much nicer face on the same dilemmas. I recommended they read The Plague and The Myth of Sisyphus rather than Being and Nothingness and No Exit. “And anyway,” I said, “you’re in this class to become writers, and writers construct stories by careful observation and withheld judgment, not by a blind acceptance of what other people say about the world. Learn to fall back on your own perceptions. It’s the only way I know not to be overcome by disillusion and cynicism if you’re ever up against the existential wall.” It was also the only way for them to get to depth with their writing. Most of my students wanted to write deep and meaningful stories, but they wanted to write them without being confronted by their own pain and grief. When a story ended without ever leaving the surface of life, I’d tell the author to go through her story paragraph by paragraph and find a sentence that was a doorway down, and then follow it. “You don’t have to live down there,” I’d say. “You just need to be able to follow a story there. Of course, you have to get back in one piece.” Which isn’t always a sure thing. I never told them that “go deeper,” when uttered by a writing teacher, is shorthand for, “You go deeper. I’ll wait here for the cops.” What I did tell them was that the short, the difficult, the painful and probably the only answer for writers is that we have nothing until we write something. That’s the ground we stand on, and if it’s like quicksand at first, it gets firmer as we go along. When you can point to a book, story or poem and say that it’s been written with your heartblood, you’ll know your path back to the solid surface of things.

UNDA’ THE ROTUNDA
A tie vote effectively killed a bill that would have offered a way to access medical cannabidiol oil.
BABIES, BATHWATER AND CANNABIS OIL The only thing more dramatic than the testimony heard March 30 by the Idaho House State Affairs Committee was the committee’s vote. The hearing, to consider whether to grant parents an “affirmative defense” to use cannabidiol oil to help reduce the severity or number of their children’s epileptic seizures, lasted nine hours—long after most of the rest of the Legislature had gone home for the evening. After a physically and emotionally exhausting two-part hearing, in which parents held back tears while pleading for their children’s comfort, the committee deadlocked 8-8, effectively killing the bill. Garden City Democratic Rep. John McCrostie joined seven Republican legislators in voting against Senate Bill 1146aa. Plummer Democratic Rep. Paulette Jordan was not present for the vote. “It’s a tie,” said Committee Chair Rep. Tom Loertscher, R-Iona, who voted with four Republicans and three Democrats in favor of the bill, sponsored by Boise Republican Sen. Curt McKenzie. Members of the public who had endured the marathon, sat stunned after spending the day imploring lawmakers to help their children. “I’ll try to contain my emotions,” said Holli Bunderson, whose son suffered his first seizure when he was 10 months old. He has since had a tumor and a cyst removed from his brain and been diagnosed with autism and limbic rage syndrome, which triggers violent seizures that wrack his 7-year-old body. Dr. David Bettis, a pediatric neurologist who works with many of the Idaho families coping with their children’s severe epilepsy, cautioned lawmakers, “not to throw the babies out of with the bathwater.” “I would urge you not to overemphasize the bathwater,” he said. “Let’s keep in mind that these children deserve this kind of help. Yes, I struggle with the illegal transport of the drug as much 9 as anyone, but that’s the part of the bathwater. We can work that out.” 8 | APRIL 1–7, 2015 | BOISEweekly
NEWS THE BATTLE OF JEFFERSON STREET It’s ‘their way or the highway’ for St. Luke’s Master Plan GEORGE PRENTICE It was a stunning vote. In a decisive blow to St. Luke’s Boise Medical Center—the hub of medical care in downtown Boise for more than a century—Boise’s Planning and Zoning Commission rejected the hospital’s master plan, which includes a dramatic expansion of heart and vascular care, women’s care, ortho/neuro services, the children’s hospital and cancer treatment facilities. The most controversial piece of the plan is St. Luke’s requirement that a portion of Jefferson Street be permanently closed to accommodate the expanded footprint. It was a non-starter for P&Z, which voted 6-1 to deny to the plan. “I think the case has been made that an undue burden would be placed on the public by closing Jefferson,” said Commissioner Rich Demarest. Commissioner Rick Just said he went “back and forth at least 16 times,” but ultimately concluded “connectivity trumps design in this case.” Commissioner Mike Gillespie sealed the “no” vote by saying, “This would clearly be the public’s loss of an important street.” Instead of returning to the drawing board, officials at St. Luke’s have decided to double down, putting the fate of the hospital’s master plan—and perhaps its future in downtown Boise—into the laps of the Boise City Council. Boise lawmakers will hear from St. Luke’s and the public on Tuesday, April 7 and Tuesday, April 14—they’ve already decided that the issue is so important, and potentially volatile, that two public sessions will be needed before the council has its say on the fate of St. Luke’s. “There is no Plan B,” St. Luke’s Director of Community Relations Theresa McLeod told Boise Weekly. “If we don’t receive approval from the City Council, and we understand that we don’t have the opportunity to come before them again, well then… Well, then our leadership, over time, will have
A massive expansion of St. Luke’s Boise Medical Center hinges on whether the hospital will be allowed to close a portion of Jefferson Street—a plan that has drawn strong opposition from some neighbors.
to determine where they locate these tertiary care services for heart, cancer, children—all those services that we believe is needed for that lateral, horizontal footprint.” In other words, if St. Luke’s doesn’t get the OK to close a portion of Jefferson Street, it could move some of its most critical services out of Boise’s East End neighborhood—potentially out of Boise altogether. “This is not an ultimatum at all,” McLeod said, “but it’s a real possibility. It could happen over time. We realize that, quite possibly, our community and our city leaders may not have understood the reality of those services.”
THE EMOTIONAL TUG A recent St. Luke’s video has already begun circulating—on the hospital’s website, in emails and on YouTube—that, at first, is similar to something you might see on the St. Luke’s Children’s Miracle Network Telethon. It’s a sweet video that shares the heart-tugging story of a young Boise couple that recently welcomed a newborn son named Jack—but Jack’s arrival at St. Luke’s was five weeks early. “It was a really difficult time for us,” says mother Jesse, fighting back tears. “You have this little baby that you want to take home so badly, and you can’t.” Pediatrician Dr. Alicia Lachiondo appears next, saying “it’s terrifying enough to take your child home from the newborn nursery with no complications, but to know that they’ve been monitored so closely and then have to take them home is pretty scary.” Trevor, Jack’s father, is in the frame next, saying, “It was tense and nerve-wracking at times. But having the people at St. Luke’s that we did helping us out, it puts you at ease.”
At the 54-second mark, the video takes a subtle turn. It shows Jesse and Trevor walking through their Boise neighborhood as the camera pans up to a Jefferson Street sign. “One of the biggest benefits of living in Boise, and specifically this part of Boise, is that it’s a place where you can be pretty active. You can walk, you can bike, and it’s great to be able to do that,” says Trevor. “And to lose even a small piece of that would be unfortunate. But my thought on that is: to retain the services that are currently here, and to expand on them, is worth the trade-off.” The video’s message then becomes a lot less subtle. “St. Luke’s needs city approval to modernize and upgrade Idaho’s only children’s hospital,” says a narrator. That plain appeal is then followed with full-screen email addresses of Boise Mayor Dave Bieter and the Boise City Council. “Contact the city now to keep health care in Boise strong,” concludes the narrator. Should St. Luke’s move its services, it would be to the west. According to the hospital’s website, St. Luke’s would “migrate our major services, over time, to Meridian, increasing the cost of care, jeopardizing continuity of care and disrupting the patient experience.” St. Luke’s also states that the loss of child care, cancer care and other services would force “longer commutes,” trigger “a migration of physicians and employees who live and work in the downtown area” and result in “a significant loss to the Boise economy.” McLeod said St. Luke’s isn’t “playing a heavy hand and not putting down ultimatums. But we realize that our community has to understand.” BOISE WEEKLY.COM

“We’re optimistic, but we’re also very realistic,” she added. “We know that there are still some concerns with some of our East End neighbors.”

UNDA’ THE ROTUNDA
THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD Meanwhile, those same East End neighbors say they love St. Luke’s, but more than a few of them say they hate the idea of seeing Jefferson Street permanently closed for the hospital’s master plan. “We’ve become the city’s sacrifice zone,” said Erik Kingston, a certified professional community and economic developer and East End resident since 1994. “We lost East Junior High School to Boise State and that increased traffic as a result; we lost our only activity center at 111 Broadway, which became derelict and abandoned. We gave up Bannock Street to St. Luke’s in the 1990s; we supported the hospital for its Life Flight helipad; now we’re being asked to give up more.” Kingston thinks St. Luke’s push for support, particularly among its business partners and supporters, might be counterintuitive. “We’ve heard from a number of people that say they’re being heavily pressured to testify on behalf of St. Luke’s, and the fact that they’re coming to us and saying that leads me to think that they really don’t want to do that,” said Kingston. “Something like their [video ad] campaign could actually backfire. Sure, they can pack a room, but these organizations are being asked to think that they need St. Luke’s when, in fact, St. Luke’s needs them.” The East End Neighborhood Association has launched keepboiseconnected.com and is distributing leaflets describing the St. Luke’s master plan as a “sprawling campus,” a “super block that isolates the East End” and “a bad precedent for any neighborhood.” Charles Honsinger and his wife, Lee, have lived in the East End for 20 years. “Look, we’re not professionals,” Honsinger said. “We’re just trying to preserve our neighborhood. It’s a good place to live. We’ve been standing in front of M&W Market on Warm Springs talking about this, and everyone we’ve met hadn’t heard anything about this, but they were immediately concerned about the possible closure.” On March 15, as the Honsingers were walking through their neighborhood handing out leaflets, things got a bit testy. “A man approached us who was adamantly opposed to our effort. My wife talked to him first,” said Honsinger. “He was getting louder and angrier, and when I tried to engage him a little bit, he called us selfish and said that if St. Luke’s gets their way, it would increase his property value. He kept following us and getting angrier. Finally, my wife turned BOISE WEEKLY.COM
“We’ll gladly risk this. We’re already in prison.”
Natalie Stevens said she was prepared to testify before the House committee because she was an expert. “I’m an expert on my daughter,” Stevens said. Her daughter is 11-yearold Marley, who suffers between two and 100 seizures every day. “You’ve heard the word ‘seizure’ over and over today,” said Stevens, “but when you hear it over and over, you forget what that entails. ‘Seizure’ means Marley can never be out of my sight. It means that she has scars from biting her tongue all the time. It means that her breathing stops. It means missing school and missing work. It means sleepless nights and agonizing days. “Seizures are our prison,” she added “We’ll gladly risk this. We’re already in prison. We would rather be arrested and have an affirmative defense.” Opponents of the bill brought out the big guns, figuratively, with Idaho police, sheriffs, prosecutors and Elisha Figueroa, director of the Idaho Office of Drug Policy, pushing hard against SB 1146aa. “Yes, this is heart wrenching, but I want to be clear: this is not hemp oil you can buy at the Co-op. This is marijuana, a Schedule One drug, and Idaho will be violating federal law if this passes,” said Figueroa, who was appointed as drug czar by Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter. “We have a very real criminal element in this state that is looking for a shield for their activity, and this law does just that,” he added. Figueroa urged the committee to instead support Senate Bill 1156, which would direct the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare to administer a special program including trials and oversight of the pharmaceutical drug Epidiolex. The Epidiolex trial would include approximately 25 to 30 people, but at least one estimate during the March 30 State Affairs Committee hearing indicated that there approximately 1,200 Idaho children suffering from severe seizures. 8
Among the proposals in the St. Luke’s Master Plan are a new hospital tower, expanded children’s hospital and multiple office complexes.
around with her cellphone and told him that she was taking a video of him. He took off pretty quickly.” Honsinger insisted that he would love St. Luke’s to stay where it is and even expand. “But it’s all about Jefferson,” he said. “That’s what we’re focused on. We’ve always said, ‘Hey, if you want to expand, fine. Let’s work out a way where we keep Jefferson open. But they’re not talking about a Plan B. It’s either this or nothing.” Honsinger said that he’ll be at the April 7 hearing in front of the City Council. “It’s hard to guess what they might do,” he said. “But I think we have a good shot.”
THE MAN IN THE MIDDLE Ben Quintana may be in the most tenuous position when it comes to St. Luke’s. He’s a Boise City Council member but spends his days as an organization development program manager for the St. Luke’s Health System. “And that’s why I’ll be recusing myself; I won’t be voting on this,” Quintana told BW, adding that he may, in fact, have to step down from the Council dais during the public hearing. “I’ll need to join the audience at that point.” Quintana also isn’t allowed to advocate for, or against, the issue with his fellow lawmakers. “I’ve been staying out of those conversations,” he said. That can’t stop him from speaking publicly on the issue. Given that he’s a St. Luke’s employee, Quintana thinks there’s way too much at stake not to approve the hospital’s master plan. “This is one of the biggest decisions the city will make in the foreseeable future,” said Quintana. “This involves hundreds of millions
of dollars and thousands of jobs.” Quintana acknowledges that a number of neighbors simply don’t want to see Jefferson closed, but he also says that too many members of the public simply haven’t seen the actual plan. “I ask people, ‘Have you seen the plan?’ They say, ‘No, I haven’t.’ When we’re able to see what St. Luke’s is trying to do and how it actually advances the city’s overall comprehensive plan, I think the community will see how everyone greatly benefits from the proposal. There are so many improvements that go with this plan, but a number of people are only looking a portion of Jefferson Street being closed.” Alan Shealy knows a thing or two about testifying before the Boise City Council—he’s been on both sides of the podium. Shealy spent nearly nine years as a councilman, approving and rejecting plans that were or were not in sync with the city’s overall master plan. In February, Shealy told the city’s P&Z Commission, “I view the intent to block Jefferson Street as being sheer arrogance on the part of hospital authorities.” Shealy is expected to be one of scores of citizens to stand before the Boise City Council to weigh in on the debate on April 7 and April 14 before lawmakers cast their votes. “Those meetings could be pretty long, but we’ll do our best,” said Kingston. That remains one thing that Kingston and McLeod can agree on. “He’s absolutely right. They will be very long evenings,” said McLeod. “But they will be evenings full of passion. There will be a lot of people there to either support the plan or oppose the plan; and all of that will come with a tremendous amount of passion.”

These are interesting times for this community; we see unprecedented growth, yet there are too many men, women and children who are in need of food or shelter. We need to ask ourselves: If for some horrible reasons if we closed the church’s doors, what would be missing other than our worship? That’s one of the reasons we hand out 100 sack lunches every week of the year. NN

DUANE ANDERS
Easter, sunrises and a hope for something bigger GEORGE PRENTICE When Duane Anders was a young man, growing up in Charlestown, W.V., people would tell him, “Someday, you’re going to be a pastor.” When he was in junior high, he met with his own pastors, but didn’t tell his parents just “I thought if I changed my mind, people might be disappointed,” Anders said. It’s one reason why he earned a bachelor’s degree in American history but never had any intention of being a history teacher. Soon enough, Anders earned a master’s in divinity, was ordained as a pastor in the United Methodist Church and spent more than 25 years behind a pulpit in Ohio. Then, four years ago, Anders was asked to be the pastor of Boise’s Cathedral of the Rockies. As the Christian world prepared to celebrate its holiest week of the year—the days framed by Palm Sunday and Easter—Boise Weekly sat down with Anders to talk about the season, his cathedral’s rich musical legacy and the difficulty of loving your enemies.
When you took this appointment at Cathedral of the Rockies, how did you choose to begin influencing not only your congregation but your new community? In my first Christmas message, we said that we needed 400 people to frame two new houses 10 | APRIL 1–7, 2015 | BOISEweekly
and be present with one another, those are good things. But what if there’s no sense of God’s presence? The surprising part of God is that God seems to more OK with that than God’s followers. God is present with all that is unexpected. Yes, you do keep the law by loving your neighbor, but you also keep the law by loving your enemy. Let’s talk about the reality of that. I’m finding it difficult to love a few people on this planet, more than ever. Sure. How is it possible to love ISIS?
Who are these people that you’re feeding? Chronic homeless, people passing through, students from Boise High and people who have a lot more days left in a month than they have money. We also serve a hot meal every Sunday night. It’s our so-called “mercy ministry.” It doesn’t stop hunger; it just stops it for that moment. We then have to ask ourselves, “Why are there more hungry this year than three years ago? What’s going on when we see more people sleeping under a bridge?”
Yes, I’m a bit tone-deaf with the unspeakable cruelty of ISIS. Help me out with that. When I look at ISIS, I wonder what is going on in their world where it appears that ISIS is some people’s only choice. What kind of example of God have they seen? I could stand at the Idaho Capitol and pray for us to Add the Words, but I don’t fear that someone is going to chop my head off. I want to believe we can love our enemy and sometimes in doing so, that means you get crucified.
Let’s talk about the musical legacy at the cathedral. I’ve attended jazz concerts here, performances from the Boise Philharmonic... And we were a Treefort venue.
Let’s talk about something more pleasant, like an Easter morning sunrise at Camel’s Back Park. Amazing. Sunrise is 7 a.m. this year and, yes, we’ll hold our Easter Sunrise service there again on Sunday, April 5. We gather, tell the story of Easter, sing, pray and celebrate the fact that God still surprises all of us.
I’m presuming that so many of those experiences transcend faith. I just had a conversation with a man who grew up in this church but is no longer Christian. He said, “The thing I miss is singing in the choir.” I said, “Why is that you think you can’t sing in the choir just because you don’t have a clarity about God?” Is it OK if those dots don’t connect? My heart says they’ll connect. It may take longer than I think. Cathedrals, through history, were centers of communities and homes of artists. That’s a vision that this church embraced years ago: to continue to be a home for poets, musicians, painters, sculptors. During Holy Week, we have different artists’ visions of the Stations of the Cross (see Page 23). Let’s talk about how a person might reconcile the secular versus the religious celebration of holy days, particularly Easter and Christmas. Millions of Americans see Easter as an opportunity to put on some nice clothes and go to brunch. And goodness knows how we overdo things when it comes to Christmas. Are you OK with that? If underneath all of those feelings is that our holidays give us a chance to breathe and love
I’m presuming that your Easter sunrise service draws a number of people who may not normally walk through your doors. It’s interesting that you say that. I was talking about sunrise with a homeless man the other day. Every day is a gift. It doesn’t matter what the newspaper headlines say or how crappy my life is; the sun still comes up. There are days where I fear it’s not coming up because of the shape that the world is in. But God is still God. And people, whether they’re Christian or not, are part of something bigger. They always are. What do you know about Jesus Christ today that you didn’t know as a young man? There was a time when I was a teenager that I needed faith to answer all of my questions. If you figured out God, God got really small. Today, just as I think I can figure out God, God gets bigger. And that’s OK. The Apostle Paul said, “We see through the glass dimly on this earth.” Someday we’ll get the bigger picture. Someday soon? I don’t know. It may not be soon enough. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

THE CHANGING FACE OF HYDE PARK ROBERTA T. A XIDE A , PH.D. ILLUSTRATIONS COURTESY OF BIRDWELL/CA AR ME TA -DESIGNS
Tim Barnford opened his Hyde Park coffee shop in 1987, years before Starbucks started spreading out of Seattle, years even before the simple cup of coffee morphed into a cornucopia of exotic variations. “I still have the first espresso machine I brought into this place,” he said. “It’s in my garage, at home, and it still works fine. It just got to be too small.” Barnford hesitated before explaining why he hasn’t gotten rid of the machine. “I don’t know, really,” he said, “but I think it’s something about hanging on to stuff that brought us to where we are. “It’s the opposite of what they’re planning to do here. To this whole place,” he added, waving his hand across the view from the patio of his shop. “I still can hardly believe what’s happening.” Barnford built his patio about 20 years ago, and the view of 13th Street as it runs through Hyde Park hasn’t changed much since then. The neighborhood remains one of the few quaint reserves left in the city and BOISE WEEKLY.COM
serves as a reminder that—not so long ago— Boise was a town of quaint reserves, congregated around clusters of mom-and-pop stores that provided everything from groceries to ice cream sundaes to shoe repair. “It’s like there are two kinds of people,” Barnford told Boise Weekly. “People who would like to see things stay the way they are—I guess that’s me—and then there are these guys who can’t wait to get hold of something and exploit it. You know, suck everything out of it until nothing’s left of what used to be here.” Little of what Hyde Park used to be will remain if plans move forward to enclose four square blocks of the North End neighborhood as an upscale shopping, dining and entertainment complex. As the project description states on the website of Palo Alto, Calif.-based developer Birdwell/Caar Meta-Designs: “Coming Soon: Hyde Park Commons—where neighbors come to see neighbors.”
WHO’S BUILDING WHAT WHERE? The Commons is modeled on the kinds of so-called concept consumer spaces (CCS) that have sprung up in cities all over Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado and California. The concept part of the name refers to the uniformity of architectural presentation and a calculated ambience that differs depending on the tastes and styles of local populations, prevailing regional purchasing habits, economic demographics and even weather patterns. It’s not exactly cookie-cutter retailing, in the old sense that one mall looks pretty much like another, but developers have learned from experience what consumers are looking for—be it in a shopping trip or an evening of dining and entertainment. “The kind of people we try to draw in do 40 to 60 percent of their buying online, but on the weekends, they like to get out. Maybe pick out a new jacket or pair of shoes, 12 have some drinks and dinner, go to a movie or see a band, all without having BOISEweekly | APRIL 1–7, 2015 | 11
The Hyde Park Commons plan calls for preserving existing businesses, though with subtle twists. A longtime Hyde Park antique store gets a makeover.
to drive to multiple locations,” said Ken Birdwell, principal 11 partner of Birdwell/Caar.
The company plans to subcontract with Boise development giant LTD Options, Inc., to formalize the design for the Hyde Park Commons project. Birdwell is an old hand at designing CCSs. Before partnering with Hans Caar, an urban engineer trained at the Neo-Bauhaus Akademie in Haaslichstadt, Germany, he drew up the original plans for The San Antonio Greens, the CCS in Texas widely considered the first of its kind. Together, Birdwell and Caar are responsible for the development of 18 other such concepts, from The Courtyard in Sacramento, Calif., to The Mammoth Stage Stop in Santa Fe, N.M. “What’s exciting, yet challenging, about this Hyde Park space is that it’s the first one we will have done that’s set in an older, pre-existent neighborhood,” Birdwell told BW in a telephone interview. “It’s like half the parking is already there, half the landscaping, and we’re expecting half the clientele, too, considering so many people live close enough to the target area to access the site on foot or by bike.” Barnford doesn’t share Birdwell’s enthusiasm. “Did [Birdwell] say anything about how they’re going to block off six city streets? Did he say anything about all of the trees that’ll have to removed? I doubt it,” Barnford said, adding that representatives with LTD Options have already reached out to several Hyde Park business owners, promising that as many trees as possible would be spared during construction—some trees could even be incorporated into the design of the CCS. “How do you tear down 40, maybe 50 houses, put up 20 or so retail shops and restaurants—I don’t know how many condominiums—one of those programmable fountains and an outdoor stage, plus a three-screen movie theater, all while you’re trying to work around a 150-year-old elm tree without killing it?” Barnford said. LTD Options has left an indelible mark on the Boise landscape. After inheriting the development firm from his father in 1992, President and CEO Lawrence T. Donnwiddy relocated the firm from Arizona to Boise in 1996. The guiding force behind the controversial Klapp Building—next to the Boise River off 12 | APRIL 1–7, 2015 | BOISEweekly
River Drive—and the trend-setting MoorHaus shopping center on North Ballantyne Lane and State Street in Eagle, he is also responsible for 13 boutique hotels planned for locations from the east end of ParkCenter Boulevard to Karcher Road between Nampa and Caldwell. Three are currently under construction. Donnwiddy has also partnered with other heavyweight figures in the Boise real estate and development market in everything from parking garages to water parks and senior retirement centers. As urban growth increases in the Treasure Valley, Donnwiddy is positioned to remain one of the most influential figures in the post-recession building boom. In addition to serving as president and CEO of LTD Options, he sits on the boards of directors of the Boise Classical Music Performance Foundation, Charitable Giving of the Treasure Valley, the Boise Literacy Society and Saint Gertrude’s United Health Systems, one of Idaho’s largest health care providers and home to the nation’s leading hip replacement center. Donnwiddy’s latest venture is Hyde Park Commons, which— subject to the approval of the Greater Ada Planning and Zoning Commission—would convert the neighborhood into what has been described as a retail coliseum, with existing businesses rimmed by an elevated terrace studded with shops, theaters, bars and eateries.
THE IMPACT IN THE PARK “I grew up in that house, right there,” said 54-year old Corrine Ysibarra, pointing to a two-story frame house across the street from her current home on West Sherman Street. “My dad grew up there, too. That’s how long that house has been there. But Fred Davis bought it off dad sometime in the ’70s, along with five or six others around here close, and rented them out until he died. Now his son owns them, and if I know Wiley Davis, he’ll sell out to Donnwiddy’s outfit quicker than you can say, ‘Where do I sign?’” According to planning documents, Davis has already sold the old two-story to LTD Options, along with the seven other rentals that his father, then he, had owned. The tenants have been given notice that their leases will be void by the end of the year.
Corporate sponsorship could result in rebranding for some landmarks.
Should the plan win approval, they won’t be alone. As many as 50 structures within a two-block radius of the epicenter of Hyde Park would have a date with the wrecking ball. Those buildings include single-family dwellings, garages, duplexes or small apartment buildings; about a third are being rented from a handful of landlords, while the rest are resident-owned. There are a significant number of residents who will not sell. Jerry Knotts’ hesitation is typical. “I suppose if the money is right, I’ll consider it. But I raised my kids in this house. I got memories that go back 40-some years here. And where am I supposed to go, anyway? I’m 72, and getting settled into a new place isn’t going to be easy. But we’ve talked it over,” he said, nodding to his wife, June, “and we’re waiting to see what they offer before we make up our minds.” “It’d better be good,” June said, shrugging her shoulders. The trouble with the Knotts’ expectations is that—if the past is any prelude to the future—the longer they hold out, the less they may be offered. Donnwiddy’s pattern is to proceed with a project before acquiring all of the property he needs to finish it. BW readers might remember the last time Donnwiddy made news, in April 2010, with his attempt to purchase the Pioneer and Morris Hill cemeteries in order to turn those properties into high-end retail spaces and apartments. When word of the negotiations leaked, outrage over the proposed exhumation and relocation of the bodies buried at the cemeteries led the city to back out, with officials denying they knew anything about the plans. To date, the cemetery project has been Donnwiddy’s only development setback since he moved his company to Idaho. In Hyde Park, Donwiddy has already secured 15 residential properties, which are due to be demolished beginning in mid-summer. The neighborhood most immediate to Hyde Park could, sooner than later, begin to look like a combat zone, with dump trucks and trailers loaded with heavy equipment rumbling over the narrow North End streets. As neighborhoods degenerate, so do the values of what is left. “That’s what Donnwiddy is counting on,” said Francine Crisp, owner of The Atmospherialist, a bohemian nook crammed with wind chimes, incense burners, crystals and self-discovery books.

Many shops in the Commons will be geared toward the active, outdoor lifestyle that has long made Hyde Park attractive to residents from all over the Treasure Valley.

“He knows he can wear the old-timers down. They’ll start to get scared that they won’t get anything like what their places are worth if they wait too long. It’s like dominoes, only it’s property values that are tumbling.” Vince Eberley echoes Crisp’s fears. “We’re in a vise, and Donnwiddy is turning the screw,” he said. Eberley and his brother, Theo, opened their bike store, The Cycle Spot, in 2004. BW asked if they had discussed moving their business out of Hyde Park. “It’s complicated,” Eberley answered. “[Donnwiddy] wants most of us to stay. The businesses, I mean. Most of us rent the buildings we’re in and he’s already snatched them up. But he wants us to stay put, to keep the appearance of this cozy little village. Then people who come for the movies or the stuffed shiitakes can sit outside on the patios up above and watch us go about our work.” The Eberley brothers have accumulated a loyal clientele over the years and fear it will be lost if they relocate. “Then, like a month ago, we get this letter from LTD Options saying they want us to either commit to staying or get out now, because they claim to have someone who will run a bike place here if we’re gone. One way or another, there’s going to be a bike shop here, see? And if it’s not us, someone else will be capitalizing on all the work we’ve put into this location,” Eberley said. It’s the same with every one of the shops and eateries in Hyde Park: They either stay or get replaced with a virtual clone of themselves. Most, if not all, of the structures on 13th Street in the two-block stretch from Alturas Street to Brumback Street will remain as they are, including the C.H. Wayhire Building. The longtime neighborhood convenience store is already being converted into a replica of a mercantile co-op from another era, circa 1955.
When the transfiguration is complete, the only traffic allowed within the greater Commons will be pedestrian and bicycle. At the very center, on the intersection of 13th and West Eastman streets, a four-tiered water fountain is planned, complete with programmable water jets, multicolored lights and hidden speakers. “I’ve seen the model,” said Barnford. “There’s a balcony—like a wide veranda, I guess you could call it—all the way around the inside of the outer ring. It’s set up so the crowds can sit up there, 30 feet up, and watch us and our customers. See what I mean? It’s f***ing creepy, isn’t it?”
THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF A SCREWING Several Hyde Park residents have wondered aloud how such a sweeping enterprise could have been approved by the agencies responsible for guiding development in Boise. After all, rising to an ultimate height of five stories—not counting two six-story parking facilities, the six-story corner penthouse turrets and the faux cupolas on the roof—will make it by far the most visible structure in the North End. From the vantage of the Boise Bench, its red brick facade will stand out among the proliferation of greenery like a Monument Valley mesa, and residents of the condos proposed for the top two floors will be on an eye-to-eye level with people in homes in the lower Foothills. Inside the Commons there will come days when sunlight doesn’t reach the street until mid-morning and will have disappeared behind the western walls by 4 p.m. Matters of taste and scale aside, it is undoubtedly the most ambitious construction to be planned in Boise since the advent of high-rise buildings along Capitol Boulevard. Given that, opponents say it’s hardly surprising that the people most impacted by the development would feel that their concerns have not been recognized. 13

HYDDEN HISTORY
In one of the more ambitious aspects of The Commons, a gondola would ferry passengers from Hyde Park to skiing opportunities in the Boise Front Range.
The project, however, is still going
13 through the approval process. It has
been given a tentative nod by the Greater Ada Planning and Zoning Commission—pending completion of soil, archeological and environmental evaluations—but it has yet to receive the blessing of the agency with the final say, the Boise Council of Aesthetic Values, Compatibility Concern, and Consistency Issues (BCAVCCCI). “You watch, though. It’ll get the OK,” said Howard Hansen, a Greater Ada P&Z commissioner. “After that fiasco with the cemeteries five years ago, Donnwiddy isn’t about to be leaving anything to chance. You can bet he’s got his ducks in a row on this one. And I predict those BCAVCCCI pussies will cave like a cheap soufflé. “Notice how [Donnwiddy] even managed to delay a public hearing on the thing until after he’s torn down a dozen or so houses?” Hansen added. “By then, those old Dead-Endsters will be tripping over their pot bongs to get the hell out of there.” (Hansen asked that his remarks be off the record, but since he asked after the interview, rather than before, it was too late.)
14 | APRIL 1–7, 2015 | BOISEweekly
Several phone calls and emails requesting comment from members of BCACCCVI went unanswered, and city officials would not admit to knowing who is on the council or even where its offices are located. Nor would Hansen or anyone else on the commission admit to knowing any members of the BCACCCVI. “I don’t know who they are, don’t want to know who they are, don’t give a shit who they are,” said Hansen. “But you can bet one thing: Whoever they are, they’re already in Donnwiddy’s pocket. That’s how he does business—finds out who the weaklings are and then goes to work on them like pizza dough.”
A TEAR FOR YESTERYEAR Tim Barnford rolled his head back and stared into the leaf buds springing from the elm tree over the deck of his establishment. “I suppose you’ve heard about the elevated cable they eventually want to string between here and the ski hill. For those hanging gondola things, you know, like they have in Switzerland, or someplace?” he said. “And the dog park, you know about that, don’t you? Yeah, they’re going to put
a fake turf dog park on the second level. You know, for those people who can’t leave their mutts at home. Let’s see my tree get through all that.” After a moment of silence and what appeared to be an effort to compose himself, he continued. “Yup, f***ing creepy, that’s what it is,” he said. “It’ll be like we’re in one of those ant farms. You know the things I mean? Sand inside some glass? And we’re supposed to go on digging our little tunnels and hauling around the little sand grains while these giant yuppie f***s watch us do it from outside the glass. “I’m starting to wish I’d sold out to Starbucks 15 years ago.” (BW requested an interview with Lawrence T. Donnwiddy, but his office declined.) Roberta T. Axidea, Ph.D, is an adjunct professor in the Urban Reimagining Department at Boise State University and practices freelance journalism because she needs the extra money.
Contrary to what most Boiseans might think, Hyde Park is not a namesake of either of the more famous Hyde Parks in London, England, and New York. It was actually named for Hendrick VonHyde, an immigrant from Vermont to territorial Idaho who came for the same reason that brought thousands of other Americans west: gold. After giving up his prospecting aspirations when he realized he had shown up at least a year late to the Boise Basin rush, VonHyde made his fortune supplying miners and camp followers with commodities rare in Idaho at the time: fresh eggs from the chickens he wheedled from laborers, fresh milk from a small herd of Guernsey cows he accumulated, and spirits he distilled himself from local wild juniper berries and camas root. There were also whispers that, if he wasn’t the first Idahoan to employ women for the purpose of carnal sport, he was the best. By 1873, VonHyde had expanded his original small encampment into a considerable estate, complete with barns for his dairy production, stables for his mules, pens for his hogs and a substantial pasture in which his livestock grazed. On the far end of his property, at the bottom of what is now Camel’s Back Hill, he reportedly maintained a multi-room dwelling in which prostitutes imported from Texas plied their trade. When VonHyde died in 1887, from what was rumored to be syphilis, he was arguably the wealthiest man in Boise, though you wouldn’t have known it by the way he lived. He refused to own a horse, preferring to ride his mules around the growing town, and his home was little more than a piecemeal expansion of the ramshackle hut he built himself back in 1864. He had no family, so his property went to the territorial offices, which within a year had pushed a new road through the center of it, connecting the Old Fort Line with Foothill Run (Now Fort Street and Hill Road). Contemporaries called it “VonHyde Pyke” until at least the turn of the 20th century. It is unclear when exactly “VonHyde” became “Hyde” and “Pyke” became “Park,” but by 1920, the old neighborhood was well-established. —Roberta T. Axidea, Ph.D.

Poetry slam! For free!
BOISE PUBLIC LIBRARY Librarian Heidi Lewis strives to give the community a chance to do things for free that would normally cost money. First Thursday is a great opportunity for that, so in celebration of National Poetry Month, the Boise Public Library has invited Big Tree Arts to host a poetry slam. “They do great work putting on poetry slams around town, but people usually need to pay for them,” Lewis said. “We paid them so it will be free to the public.” Members of the Boise Poetry Slam Team will help host the event, which is open to all ages. Everyone is welcome to try their hand at slam with two poems, each fewer than three minutes long. The audience will judge the poems, using a scoring system of one to 10, and winners will receive charming prizes. The Big Tree Arts Poetry Slam will take place in the William F. Hayes Memorial Auditorium, 6:30-8 p.m. BOISEweekly | APRIL 1–7, 2015 | 15

Playing with Fire shows a side of Afghanistan you don’t see on the news.
THE FLICKS During the past 10 years, 390 Afghan refugees and immigrants have arrived in Boise, and more continue to come through three refugee resettlement agencies. To help raise awareness and funds to resettle these new members of the community, the Agency for New Americans is renting out a theater at The Flicks to screen the documentary Playing with Fire. The film follows six Afghan women who want to be actresses, even though in 1994, the Taliban banned women from acting. “With this movie, the community can learn more about the type of life [Afghan] women have there,” said Yasmin Aguilar, community resource coordinator for the agency. “People can learn more, that we shouldn’t generalize people. We have to respect them and show them not to be scared in America because they are Muslim.” Playing with Fire, which shares the struggle of these aspiring actresses, starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $12.

Contemplate a decade of artist Ben Gin’s life.
THE CRUX One of the best ways for an artist to celebrate a birthday is with a retrospective—and that’s just what local artist Ben Gin will do to mark turning 30, with a free show at The Crux, 5-9 p.m. For the show, #WHATIDIDMYTWENYS (that’s not a typo), Gin will exhibit 10 years of work, which includes four large oil paintings of Boise’s skyline, the largest of which is 6 feet by 4 feet. Gin said he found inspiration for the cityscapes after chartering a helicopter and seeing Boise from a different perspective. Gin has mixed feelings about his work during the past 10 years. “I look back and I see a lot of things have improved and a lot of things have stayed the same,” he said. “In some ways, I’m proud of where it’s come, and others, I’m like, ‘Wow, I haven’t gone anywhere.’” Viewers to his Gin’s Crux show will experience not only his artwork but his animated videos and electronic music.

Fifty-two years ago, crews began digging the foundation for what would become the Albertsons Library at Boise State University. At the time, of course, Boise State was called Boise Junior College and the Albertsons Library wouldn’t be named in honor of the Albertson family until 1995. The library hosted its first open house in 1964 and Boise Junior College began its transformation into Boise State University. Celebrate both 50th anniversaries Thursday, April 2 with the Albertsons Library Juried Art Exhibition featuring more than 30 artworks by 27 artists including Heather Bauer, Katherine Bajenova Grimmet and Carl Rowe. Awards will be announced at an opening reception from 4-8 p.m. April 2. Thursday, April 2, 4-8 p.m.; Friday, April 3, 7 a.m.-7 p.m. FREE. Albertsons Library, 1865 W. Cesar Chavez Lane, library.boisestate.edu.
On paper, the words “enduring” and “career” would not be used in conjunction to describe Pauly Shore——but that’s exactly what the comedian/actor/writer/director/producer has had. He burst onto the scene in the early ’90s with both small and big screen roles, including TV’s Totally Pauly (1990) and movies like Encino Man (1992), and later moved into writing, directing and guest starring in a slew of productions. Growing up hanging around LA’s historic Comedy Store, Shore cut his comic teeth on stand-up, and although he continues to appear on screen, it is the stage he returns to again and again. He is returning to Boise, too, and for two nights we’ll have a chance to see why Shore has stayed around for so long. Friday, April 3 and Saturday, April 4, 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. $25.

JES SICA MURRI
PAINTING HOLY WEEK
Local artists illustrate the Stations of the Cross at the Cathedral of the Rockies JESSICA MURRI A cathedral, according to Debbie Coutts, is more than a house of worship, it’s “a home for the artist.” Coutts is the pastor of family life at the Cathedral of the Rockies First United Methodist Church, located downtown behind Boise High School. Coutts said the Cathedral of the Rockies, which is one of only two cathedrals in the city of Boise, works hard to honor that mission by inviting choirs, musicians, performers and visual artists into its immense hall. The cathedral even served as a venue for the 2015 Treefort Music Fest, with Josh Ritter performing in the sanctuary on March 25. This week, cathedral staff have transformed The Cathedral of the Rockies is hosting 14 works of local art depicting the 14 Stations of the Cross. the walkways of the sanctuary into an art gallery with work chronicling Holy Week, when Christians observe the crucifixion of Jesus Station 12, in which Jesus is on the cross sur“A lot of these things have stretched my Christ. rounded by his mother and disciples.

BOISE WEEKLY 2015 COVER AUCTION GRANT WINNERS The committee has spoken and six proposals have been selected to share a total of $10,063 from the 2015 Boise Weekly Cover Auction Grant program. In October 2014, BW reported on the efforts of Levi Bettwieser to collect, develop and preserve photographs for his Rescued Film Project. His work has since been covered by Vice, National Public Radio, CBS This Morning and The Daily Beast, to name a few. Bettwieser was awarded a $2,000 grant for a gallery exhibition and costs associated with the professional publication of a photo album. Not a company to confine itself to the blackbox theater format, Boise Contemporary Theater is always on the lookout for ways to break its mold. BCT will receive a $1,000 grant for its Super Secret Site Specific Something—“a throwback to ’60s happenings and environmental theater”—which deconstructs the traditional theater experience by using Boise locations for site-specific drama. Kansas City Art Institute Professor Hugh Merrill will receive $1,500 for a one-month residency at Surel’s Place, where he’ll work with University of Utah Professor Janet Kaufman and a variety of local organizations and children on his Grump Meter project. The money will go toward making banners and paintings that illustrate how our moods affect our behavior. Boise Open Studios Collective (BOSCO) was awarded $1,500 for its ongoing work of sharing local artists’ creative process with the general public. BOSCO will use the grant money for advertising, printing and graphic design. Hermit Music Festival will put its $2,000 award toward paying musicians, employing a visual artist and advertising costs for its 2015 event, Friday, Sept. 4-Sunday, Sept. 6, at the Mardi Gras Ballroom in Boise and at Indian Creek Winery in Kuna. Lastly, Boise Weekly will receive $2,063, that will go toward BW Watchdogs, which has helped support 14 longform investigative features since its launch in 2013. The grant selection committee was comprised of former BW Art Director Leila Ramella-Rader, current BW Art Director Kelsey Hawes, Idaho Commission on the Arts Executive Director Michael Faison and BW Publisher/ Owner Sally Freeman. —Harrison Berry BOISEweekly | APRIL 1–7, 2015 | 23

WEEDEATER, APRIL 3, NEUROLUX Dixie Dave Collins might look like a Duck Dynasty extra, but under the well-worn ball cap and scraggly beard is the talented frontman and bassist for legendary metal band Weedeater. Collins formed the Wilmington, N.C.-born trio from the primordial sludge of disbanded Buzzov*en, and with its 2001 debut, ...And Justice for Y’all (re-released on Season of Mist, 2014) the stoner-doomweed metal Weedeater became known for delivering melodic yet punishing, fuzzed-out riffs both on the stage and in the studio. Collins’ low, husky voice rings with the dichotomy of the South: when speaking, his honeyed N.C. accent is inviting and interesting but when he sings, Collins’ guttural vocalizations reverberate with something far more sinister—it all makes for strangely enchanting, visceral music. Weedeater recently reissued all four of their previously out-ofprint full-length albums on Season of Mist, which is scheduled to release Weedeater’s new release, Goliathan, on Tuesday, May 19. Stream “Cain Enabler” from Goliathan at noise.vice.com. —Amy Atkins With King Parrot and Mariana, $25 adv., $20 door. Neurolux, 111 N. 11th St., 208-343-0886, neurolux.com.

WINESIPPER VERSATILE BARBERA Once the most widely planted red-wine grape in Italy, barbera slipped to No. 4 as of 2010, after sangiovese, montepulciano and merlot. However, in Piemonte, where its reputation takes a backseat to Barolo’s nebbiolo, it’s still No. 1 in terms of quantity. The three DOCs in that region, which include Alba and Asti, produce some of the best examples of this versatile red. And though the grape is native to Italy, barbera’s plantings have spread around the globe. Here are the panel’s top three picks:
FOOD/DISH DUEL DISH DUEL: TLT SANDWICH SMACKDOWN Which version is the most tempeh-ting?
TARA MORGAN Tempeh is tricky. The brick of fermented soybeans has a nutty, mushroomy flavor that needs a good amount of seasoning to override. Also, tempeh is high in fiber, relatively low in fat and has zero cholesterol, which makes it pretty much the opposite of bacon. Nonetheless, it is frequently cut into strips, soaked in marinade and used as vegetarian bacon. Here are two tempeh takes on the BLT.
2011 LOCATI CELLARS BARBERA, LONESOME SPRINGS VINEYARD, $15.99 This barbera from the Oregon side of the Walla Walla AVA is a lean and lovely expression of that region’s terroir. Lightly toasted oak complements the soft berry aromas with touches of coconut, tobacco and graphite adding more complexity. The palate shows nice restraint (which is not always typical of Walla Walla wines) and offers smooth, ripe red fruits, balanced by racy acidity and light tannins. 2013 PICO MACCARIO LAVIGNONE BARBERA D’ASTI, $14.99 This wine opens with bright cherry and raspberry aromas backed by subtle notes of green tea leaf. Crisp cherry flavors lead off on the palate of this well-structured wine. Anise and blueberry also weigh in, with the flavors lingering nicely. A clean hit of food friendly acidity marks the finish. —David Kirkpatrick 26 | APRIL 1–7, 2015 | BOISEweekly
TAR A M O RG A N
2013 BOROLI QUATTRO FRATELLI BARBERA D’ALBA, $16.99 There’s a remarkable depth to this wine’s fresh Bing cherry and bramble berry aromas, along with hints of earth, rose petal and red licorice. In the mouth, it’s a big burst of creamy dark fruit flavors playing against lightly tart cherry. The supple finish is marked by smooth tannins. This wine is drinking beautifully now.

MAIN STREET DELI NORTHENDER VEGGIE BLT RESTAURANT: MAIN STREET DELI
RESTAURANT: 10 BARREL
Name: Northender Veggie BLT
Name: Tempeh TLT (BLT Style)
Description: Tempeh bacon, kale pesto, Idaho heirloom tomatoes, green goddess dressing.
Description: Smoked tempeh, oven-roasted tomatoes, arugula, green goddess spread, Acme Bakeshop focaccia bread.
Price: $7
Price: $10
Presentation: Wrapped in a straightjacket of white butcher paper, sliced in half and wound in another layer of paper, this hefty sandwich is an eathalf-now, eat-the-rest-later meal. It’s also geared toward those on the run: It came flying out of the kitchen a few short minutes after I ordered it.
Presentation: Served on a square slice of focaccia, 10 Barrel’s TLT appears more modest than Main Street Deli’s, at first blush. Slivers of oven-roasted tomato and wisps of arugula drape down the sides of the large hunk of tempeh. It comes with a pile of french fries on the side.
Bread: Fluffy white sourdough from Gaston’s Bakery, untoasted.
Bread: The rich, rosemary-studded focaccia from Acme is barely charred on its white underbelly, leaving a pleasant crunch that stands up to the tempeh.
Tempeh: Lightly smoked, organic Tofurkey-brand tempeh, sliced in quarterinch strips and served in a single layer.
Tempeh: Soaked in a balsamic marinade and smoked in-house, it has a nutty, slightly loose texture and smoky flavor that lingers like great barbecue.
Toppings: Loaded with mixed greens and a few thick slices of pale tomato, this meal has the healthy crunch of a hybrid salad-sandwich.
Toppings: The roasted tomatoes have a bright, lightly lemon flavor but could use more salt. The arugula provides a peppery bite but not much texture.
Spread: The vibrant green goddess dressing is made with mayo, yogurt, sour cream and tarragon, with a little spinach thrown in for extra color.
Spread: 10 Barrel’s super creamy green goddess spread is packed with sour cream, parsley and basil. It has a mild tang and is liberally applied.
Extras: A garlicky vegan pesto flecked with pine nuts, kale and lemon juice.
Extras: The side of crisp french fries were a welcome addition.
Verdict: Props for creating a vegetarian sandwich that magically feels healthy and filling at the same time. Points deducted for untoasted bread. More points deducted for the kale pesto’s raw garlic bite, which helped me ward off vampires well into the evening.
Verdict: Mega props for smoking the tempeh in-house—it imparts a meaty flavor that just can’t be mimicked. Though focaccia is a decadent bread choice for an already rich meal, this was, by far, the most satisfying vegetarian sandwich I’ve ever had. Despite my moderate intentions, I wolfed down the whole thing.
Winner: 10 Barrel. Main Street Deli makes a stand-out veggie version—packed with plenty of zip and crunch—in a town that frequently overlooks vegetarians, but 10 Barrel’s smoky, meaty sandwich appeals to herbivores and carnivores, alike. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

The Mayo Clinic describes a stroke as the effect of an interruption or severe reduction of blood supply to part of the brain. Deprived of oxygen, brain cells begin to die within minutes. A stroke can affect language, memory, cognition, emotional stability and, particularly, motor skills. While studies have shown “the central nervous system is adaptive and can recover some functions,” they’ve also found it is “necessary to keep practicing regained skills.” Therein lies the rub. Therapy can become tedious and frustrating, causing a patient to lose interest altogether, thus slowing or even stopping the recovery process. As the “world’s first FDA-approved clinically $1,099 or $99.95/month validated music-based flintrehabilitation.com hand rehabilitation device” the MusicGlove, by Flint Rehabilitation Devices, allegedly improves hand functionality for people who’ve suffered a stroke, spinal injury or traumatic brain injury—and makes it fun. The MusicGlove has sensors that read a user’s movements as he or she plays a song on a tablet or similar device. As notes scroll up the screen, the wearer touches fingers to thumb for each note: think Guitar Hero. A March 21 article in the Orange County Register quotes Dr. Dan Zondervan, Flint vice president, co-creator of the MusicGlove and a musician, as saying “there are quite a few studies that show benefits of using music in movement therapy. It helps motivate people in a fundamental way.” —Amy Atkins

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Choconiverous” is an English slang word that’s defined as having the tendency, when eating a chocolate Easter Bunny, to bite the head off first. I recommend that you adopt this direct approach in everything you do in the coming weeks. Don’t get bogged down with preliminaries. Don’t get sidetracked by minor details, trivial distractions, or peripheral concerns. It’s your duty to swoop straight into the center of the action. Be clear about what you want and unapologetic about getting it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The American snack cake known as a Twinkie contains 68 percent air. Among its 37 other mostly worthless ingredients are sugar, water, cornstarch, the emulsifier polysorbate 60, the filler sodium stearoyl lactylate and food coloring. You can’t get a lot of nutritious value by eating it. Now let’s consider the fruit known as the watermelon. It’s 91 percent water and 6 percent sugar, yet it also contains a good amount of Vitamin C, lycopene and antioxidants, all of which are healthy for you. So if you are going to eat a whole lot of nothing, watermelon is a far better nothing than a Twinkie. Let that serve as an apt metaphor for you in the coming week. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may be as close as you have
ever gotten to finding the long-lost Holy Grail—or Captain Kidd’s pirate treasure, for that matter, or Marie Antoinette’s jewels, or Tinkerbell’s magical fairy dust, or the evidence that Shakespeare’s plays were written by Francis Bacon. At the very least, I suspect you are everso-near to your personal equivalent of those precious goods. Is there anything you can do to increase your chances of actually getting it? Here’s one tip: Visualize in detail how acquiring the prize would inspire you to become even more generous and magnanimous than you already are. CANCER (June 21-July 22): People are paying attention to you in new ways. That’s what you wanted, right? You’ve been emanating subliminal signals that convey messages like, “Gaze into my eternal eyes,” and, “Bask in the cozy glow of my crafty empathy.” So now what? Here’s one possibility: Go to the next level. Show the evenmore-interesting beauty that you’re hiding below the surface. You may not think you’re ready to offer the gifts you have been “saving for later.” But you always think that. I dare you to reveal more of your deep secret power. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Some people believe unquestioningly in the truth and power of astrology. They imagine it’s an exact science that can unfail-
32 | APRIL 1–7, 2015 | BOISEweekly
ingly discern character and predict the future. Other people believe all astrology is nonsense. They think that everyone who uses it is deluded or stupid. I say that both of these groups are wrong. Both have a simplistic, uninformed perspective. The more correct view is that some astrology is nonsense and some is a potent psychological tool. Some of it’s based on superstition and some is rooted in a robust mythopoetic understanding of archetypes. I encourage you to employ a similar appreciation for paradox as you evaluate a certain influence that is currently making a big splash in your life. In one sense, this influence is like snake oil and you should be skeptical about it. But in another sense it’s good medicine that can truly heal. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): According to the Biblical stories, Peter was Christ’s closest disciple, but acted like a traitor when trouble came. After Christ was arrested, in the hours before the trial, Peter denied knowing his cherished teacher three different times. His fear trumped his love, leading him to violate his sacred commitment. Is there anything remotely comparable to that scenario developing in your own sphere, Virgo? If you recognize any tendencies in yourself to shrink from your devotion or violate your highest principles, I urge you to root them out. Be brave. Stay strong and true in your
duty to a person or place or cause that you love.
new array of provocative fun and games.
into your sanctuary and get back in touch with your primal purpose.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Marketing experts say consumers need persistent prodding before they will open their minds to possibilities that are outside their entrenched habits. The average person has to be exposed to a new product at least eight times before it fully registers on his or her awareness. Remember this rule of thumb as you seek attention and support for your brainstorms. Make use of the art of repetition. Not just any old boring, tedious kind of repetition, though. You’ve got to be as sincere and fresh about presenting your goodies the eighth time as you were the first.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The English writer William Wordsworth (1770-1830) wrote hundreds of poems. Among his most famous was “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud,” which is also known as “Daffodils.” The poem sprung from him after a walk he took with his sister around Lake Ullswater in the English Lake District. There they were delighted to find a long, thick belt of daffodils growing close to the water. In his poem, Wordsworth praises the “ten thousand” flowers that were “Continuous as the stars that shine / And twinkle on the milky way.” If you are ever going to have your own version of a daffodil explosion that inspires a burst of creativity, Sagittarius, it will come in the coming weeks.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Sometimes you’re cool, but other times you’re hot. You veer from acting aloof and distracted to being friendly and attentive. You careen from bouts of laziness to bursts of disciplined efficiency. It seems that you’re always either building bridges or burning them, and on occasion you are building and burning them at the same time. In short, Aquarius, you are a master of vacillation and a slippery lover of the in-between. When you’re not completely off-target and out of touch, you’ve got a knack for wild-guessing the future and seeing through the false appearances that everyone else regards as the gospel truth. I, for one, am thoroughly entertained.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In Cole Porter’s song “I Get a Kick Out of You,” he testifies that he gets no kick from champagne. In fact, “Mere alcohol doesn’t thrill me at all,” he sings. The same is true about cocaine. “I’m sure that if I took even one sniff that would bore me terrifically, too,” Porter declares. With this as your nudge, Scorpio, and in accordance with the astrological omens, I encourage you to identify the titillations that no longer provide you with the pleasurable jolt they once did.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your subconscious desires and your conscious desires seem to be at odds. What you say you want is not in precise alignment with what your deep self wants. That’s why I’m worried that “Don’t! Stop!” might be close to morphing into “Don’t stop!”— or vice versa. It’s all pretty confusing. Who’s in charge here? Your false self or your true self? Your wounded, conditioned, habit-bound personality or your wise, eternal, ever-growing soul? I’d say it’s a good time to retreat
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): How can you ripen the initiatives you have set in motion in recent weeks? Of the good new trends you have launched, which can you now install as permanent enhancements in your daily rhythm? Is there anything you might do to cash in on the quantum leaps that have occurred, maybe even figure out a way to make money from them? It’s time for you to shift from being lyrically dreamy to fiercely practical. You’re ready to convert lucky breaks into enduring opportunities. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

SCREEN EXTRA THE BOYS OF SUNNYVALE HAVE NINE LIVES With little fanfare, Netflix released Season 9 of Trailer Park Boys on March 27. The acclaimed Canadian faux-documentary TV series, which is set in Nova Scotia, has been taking us into the fictional Sunnyvale Trailer Park and the lives of Bubbles, Julian, Ricky and the other residents since 2001. The show originally aired on Canada’s Showcase network and after seven seasons and several movies and specials, Netflix picked it up. It doesn’t take a rocket appliance to know that was a smart move. —Amy Atkins
