EDITOR’S NOTE STORIES ON PLACE, TRUE AND OTHERWISE By now (we hope), it should be apparent that last week’s feature story (Boise Weekly, “From Homespun to High-Gloss: The changing face of Hyde Park,” April 1, 2015) was too bad to be true. For the record: 50 homes surrounding Hyde Park will not be demolished this summer to make way for a multi-story shopping arcade. No, there will not be a gondola stretching from 13th Street to Bogus Basin. There is not a store in Boise called the “Atmospherialist”; nor is there a hospital called St. Gertrude’s specializing in hip replacements. There is no agency called the Boise Council of Aesthetic Values, Compatibility Concern and Consistency Issues. This much is true: There is a city in the United States called Boise and in it is a neighborhood called Hyde Park. It’s also true that Dean Gunderson, who created the renderings for the article, is a class-act and a stellar artist. The identity of Dr. Roberta T. Axidea, Ph.D., will have to remain a secret. If we fooled you for even a few minutes, great. If not, we’ll try harder next year. If you spent the past week fuming and blowing up the phones at City Hall, we’re sorry (sort of) and apologize for any unhealthy increase in your blood pressure. Sincere apologies, however, do go to the folks at the city of Boise who had to field those phone calls. It was all in good fun and now that we’ve had our chuckle and revealed that Boiseans really like Hyde Park the way it is, it’s time to get back to being at least semi-serious. In this week’s paper, on Page 6, BW News Editor George Prentice reports on a proposal from Boise City Councilman TJ Thomson to prohibit new fast food restaurants—and marketing— from areas within 1,000 feet of a school. On Page 8 we again take a look at a Boise neighborhood—this time along River Street, where an often overlooked home is set to be explored by archaeologists. Speaking of stories about place, on Page 12 we profile an exhibition at Boise State University showcasing photos taken by and of author Ernest Hemingway in the Veneto region of northern Italy and, on Page 18, we have a story about a new law that could have a chilling effect on trail development. —Zach Hagadone

OPINION MUSICAL CHAIRS
Marching to the beat of whichever drummer gets votes BILL COPE Let us take a moment here, now—before the presidential candidate pool has so many GOP hopefuls sloshing about, it will hard to distinguish who said what bullshit—to consider how Ted Cruz picks his favorite music. Maybe you heard. It seems that following the great tragedy of 9/11, he made the conscience decision to shift his listening pleasures from “classic” rock to country, claiming he was disappointed in how rock bands behaved in the wake of the attack and was impressed with how country musicians responded. Said Ted: “I had an emotional reaction that says these are my people.” (Italics added to stress the apparent sincerity with which he said it.) The revelation came the morning after he announced his candidacy, in an interview on CBS’s morning show. Gayle King asked a series of fluffy questions intended, I suppose, to uncover the essential Ted Cruz from under the hyper-political, hyper-rhetorical, hyper-ideological bunting in which we are accustomed to seeing him swaddled. After all, does not a person’s preference of music hint at something more intimate about that person? Does not music transcend the political, the rhetorical, the ideological, and speak to the spiritual within us? I’ve always thought so. But maybe I’m wrong. In lieu of any further, or deeper, inquiry from Ms. King, I was left with questions I could only wish had been asked. For instance: What do you suppose Ted Cruz would consider “classic” rock? Seeing as how he is only 45 years old, his notion of classic must certainly be different by a generation than mine. Let’s see... his formative years would have fallen in large part in the late’80s/early ’90s, so would Boy George have been his type? A Flock of Seagulls, perhaps? Was he a metal man?... or a Duran Duran man? Whatever he considers classic, can we imagine young Ted Cruz grooving out to his favorite music—before it changed, I mean—pumping his fist to all that shredding, swinging his hips like a cool hep cat, muttering loud enough for his companions to hear, Far out!... Rad!... Rock on! Yet another question King didn’t see fit to ask: In what ways did rock musicians not treat 9/11 with the proper response, according to Cruz? Frankly, other than the horrific event itself, my most enduring memory of the days following 9/11 was the “Tribute to Heroes” telethon broadcast from New York, Los Angeles and London. Billy Joel, Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon, and on and on. To this mourner, 2,500 miles west of Ground Zero, it seemed to be a perfect response to a tragedy so great it left a great nation so dumbfounded and saddened, it took music to express the collective grief.
Admittedly, I wasn’t paying much attention to what the country crowd did in response to 9/11. All I remember from them were a couple of crap, macho, let’s-kick-some-ass tunes that embodied not grief or intense loss, but the idiocy and bluster of the Bush administration. And look where that got us. So maybe Ted Cruz can explain at some later date what exactly the country folks did that the rock folks didn’t do. Was there a surge of guitartotin’ hombres in Stetsons signing up with the Marines? Switching out their snakeskin boots for desert gear? And if there was—and if Cruz had indeed found his people in them—did he follow their example and run down to the recruitment center himself? Oh, that’s right. Ted Cruz chose to sit that one out—along with any other military involvement in his life. *** But I guess the ultimate question that didn’t get asked about Ted Cruz’s musical epiphany would be: How does a person change something so fundamental to their nature as what music pleases them, speaks to them, moves them? I’ve always regarded musical taste as something we have little control over, like our sexual orientation or our favorite color—or more to the point, our sense of how we as sapient beings fit into this un-sapient universe. If that is true—which, in the wake of Ted Cruz’s confession, I’m willing to concede it isn’t—then normal people don’t go about switching up music anymore than they can do a weekend makeover of their souls. No, down deep where our humanity lives, we either love a kind of music or we don’t. And it has nothing to do with external events. If I, for instance, were to learn that every last rapper in the world was a Democrat; a liberal; an exact reflection of me socially, culturally, politically, personally; in every way like me... that still wouldn’t make me like rap music one millimeter more. Conversely, were I to learn that every last jazz musician in the world was a racist Tea Party Libertarian with an IQ of minus-80, I wouldn’t stop loving jazz. That’s just the way it works, for normal people. But then, normal people don’t gauge everything they do, say, believe, enjoy and share by whether it will impress a voting bloc, do they? So is it possible Ted Cruz doesn’t, and never did, have a musical genre that truly moves him? Something that transcends the political, the rhetorical, the ideological and speaks to the spiritual within him? Assuming, of course, there is anything about him beyond the political, the rhetorical, the ideological. B O ISE WE E KLY.C O M

NOT SO FAST Proposal would curb fast food near Boise schools GEORGE PRENTICE
Alma Hasse was led away in handcuffs from an October 2014 public meeting in Payette County.
CHARGES DROPPED AGAINST ACTIVIST ALMA HASSE
What started out as a public arrest that had more than a few people wondering if Payette County law enforcement had suspended habeas corpus, has ended quietly: Charges against anti-fracking activist Alma Hasse have been dismissed. Hasse was led away in handcuffs from an October 2014 Payette County Planning and Zoning meeting after insisting on more transparency from commissioners, who had given a string of green lights to Payette County’s burgeoning natural gas industry (BW, News, “You Have the Right to Remain Silent, Don’t You?” Nov. 19, 2014). When Hasse was told she had no business speaking before the public officials after they closed public comment, she stood her ground. “I’m not going to leave,” Hasse said. “Can we have a sergeant at arms?” asked P&Z Chair Chad Henggeler. “It’s a public meeting,” said Hasse. Public meeting or not, Hasse was handcuffed and taken to jail. But she wasn’t processed into the county jail. She was instead placed inside a jail cell, isolated from the rest of the inmate population. “I kept saying, ‘I want to talk to my attorney,’” Hasse told BW in November 2014. Yet she was held without the privilege of visitors. “I’ve never seen a case like hers,” attorney Michael Bartlett told BW. “It doesn’t take a lot of forethought to conclude that she would want to respond [to P&Z commissioners]. And when she did respond, what did they do? They used men with guns to put her in a cage.” Thus began a drawn-out legal battle, which included a change of judge and prosecutor, leading to a jury trial scheduled to begin Wednesday, April 22. “I just wanted to let you know that the charges against me were dropped today,” Hasse told BW on April 2. A check of the Idaho Court Data Repository confirmed prosecutors dismissed charges of criminal trespass against Hasse. Since her arrest, Hasse was included in the Ridenbaugh Press’ 2015 list of 100 Influential Idahoans, alongside Boise State University President Bob Kustra, Congressman Raul Labrador and Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter. None of the Payette P&Z commissioners made the list. —George Prentice 6 | APRIL 8–14, 2015 | BOISEweekly
Step outside the front door of Boise’s Timberline High School, and it doesn’t take long to spot the Dairy Queen across Boise Avenue. Turn to the northeast, and there’s a McDonald’s. Both serve food fast enough for Timberline students to be on time for their next class. “Actually there are four fast-food restaurants within 1,000 feet of Timberline,” said Boise City Councilman TJ Thomson. Along with Dairy Queen and McDonald’s, there’s a Blimpie sandwich shop on South Apple Street and Starbucks on Boise Avenue. According to the two-term Boise lawmaker, it’s a problem—the restaurants’ proximity to a school literally feeds a growing problem: childhood obesity. “It’s the biggest health epidemic of our lifetime,” Thomson said. The 2012 Idaho Department of Health and Welfare report, Behavioral Risk Factors, reveals nearly 53 percent of Idaho adults are overweight or obese, and more than 25 percent of Idaho students are considered to be overweight or obese—it’s nearly 33 percent by the 12th grade. Based on those numbers, Thomson is proposing a big change to city policy, barring purveyors of what he calls “unhealthy foods” from operating within 1,000 feet of a school. Additionally, Thomson wants to create a 1,000-foot marketing-free zone around schools, targeting ads for fast food or tobacco on billboards and bus-stop benches. Even further, Thomson wants a healthy food and beverage policy for city-owned property and would like the city to subsidize purchases of fruits and vegetables at mobile farmers markets scheduled to visit parks this summer in some of the Boise’s lowincome neighborhoods. “We’re not just throwing out initiatives and seeing if they’ll stick. Otherwise, I could have brought more than 50 initiatives. That’s not what this is about.” he added, stressing, “We can impact what’s going on around our schools.” The proposals, which were unveiled during a Boise City Council strategic planning session April 2, are the second phase of “Healthy Boise Initiatives” following Thomson’s successful push in fall 2014 to institute new city guidelines for licensed day care facilities including more daily physical activity, healthier menus and improved child-to-worker ratios (BW, News, “This is My Baby Now,” Sept. 3, 2014).
Boise Councilman TJ Thomson: “[W]e’re talking about 1,000 feet from a school; that’s abut three blocks.”
Multiple studies support Thomson’s intentions. A March 2009 report in the American Journal of Public Health points to the link between adolescent obesity and the proximity of fast food restaurants to schools. The analysis found students with fast food restaurants within a half-mile of their schools consumed fewer servings of fruits and vegetables, consumed more servings of soda and were more likely to be overweight or obese than were youths whose schools were not near fast food restaurants. “And for our purposes, we’re talking about 1,000 feet from a school; that’s about three blocks,” said Thomson. “I know because that’s how far I walked to the Taco Bandito when I was going to school in Idaho Falls.” However, one person’s fast food may be another’s daily bread, so Thomson’s proposed definition of fast food restaurants should draw some scrutiny. In his initial draft, Thomson states a fast food restaurant would be “a restaurant where food and beverages are: (1) prepared in advance of customer orders or are able to be quickly prepared for consumption on or off the premises; (2) ordered and served over counters or at drive-through windows; and (3) paid for before being consumed” “Wherever we go with this, we need to do some serious work on the definition,” said Boise City Council President Maryanne Jordan. Thomson had an immediate response. “Ninety-nine percent of the restaurants near schools are going to be fast food,” he said. Councilwoman Elaine Clegg said something else comes to mind, especially when it comes to high-school students and their lunch hour.
“When I was in high school, we would hop in a car and drive to Arctic Circle,” Clegg said. “We might be encouraging more students to get in a car and drive fast, just to get to a fast food restaurant and back to school in time for their next class.” Thomson responded, “I don’t see any evidence that more people are going to hop in a car. Studies show people are probably going to walk 1,000 feet.” For the record, Thomson considers restaurants such as Blimpie and Subway and coffee shops like Starbucks as fast food sellers. While he’s not proposing they be forced out of the 1,000 foot zones, he does want city officials to consider any new such businesses to be inappropriate close to schools. “Subway is as healthy an alternative as many others,” said Clegg. “You’re also possibly talking about coffee shops. I’d like to work on ways to address some of this.” Regarding Thomson’s proposal to prohibit soda, junk food and tobacco advertising on bus benches and billboards, he said “I’m not suggesting that we take down any of the existing signs, but kids under the age of 12 don’t know that they’re being targeted.” There are an estimated 22 benches and 11 billboards within 1,000 feet of Boise schools. Many of Thomson’s fellow Council members said they like the idea of taking a closer look at advertising around city schools, but his “healthy kid zones” around schools will require a lot more dialogue. “This is quite complex,” Thomson said. “But we can choose to have an impact.” B O ISE WE E KLY.C O M

You were in Iraq at the height of the surge. What was right about that and what was wrong about that? That’s a pretty long policy discussion and we’re still debating its effectiveness.

PHIL KLAY
‘The writing is the writing. It’s what I do’ GEORGE PRENTICE Somewhere between heaven and hell lay most of Phil Klay’s professional experiences as a United States Marine and bestselling author. The 31-year-old son of a Peace Corps volunteer and advocate for children’s health care, Klay was a graduate of Dartmouth College just before joining the Marines in 2004 at the height of the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts. As a captain, Klay spent more than a year in Iraq’s Anbar province during the U.S. troop surge. Upon returning home, Klay received an MFA from Hunter College and published a short story in Granta magazine. Not long after, he compiled a series of short stories in Redeployment, which was quickly heralded by The New York Times as, “The best thing written so far on what the war did to people’s souls.” In 2014, the first-time author won the 2014 National Book Award for the bestseller and just a few weeks ago received the National Book Critic’s Circle John Leonard Prize for best debut work in any genre. Prior to his Thursday, April 9 appearance at the Egyptian Theater in Boise, where he’ll deliver a talk sponsored by the Boise Public Library and Rediscovered Books, Boise Weekly spoke to Klay about his searing work and soaring success. With a father who was in the Peace Corps and an international banker, and a mother who worked for the Children’s Defense Fund and a grandfather who was a career diplomat in the Foreign Service, did those dots connect to you when you decided to enlist in the Marines? Public service had always been important and that was absolutely in my mind when I joined the military. But a rather small percentage of your generation has served and the gap grows wider every day between the general public and those who have worn a uniform. In a post-World War II America, we had universities putting up new housing for returning veterans and of course the G.I. Bill. But now I talk to men and women who are the only veterans they know on college campuses. It’s a smaller portion of the country. I’m from the Northeast and quite often I’m told I’m the first veteran that someone has met. That scenario is pretty amazing after a decade of war. B OI S E WEEKLY.C O M
Did you journal or keep a diary when you were deployed? I have always taken notes of things that interested me, but I didn’t have any particular plan to write about those things. So when did you tell yourself that you had a book to write? A couple of months after I got back. The first sentence of the book is the first sentence I wrote. Very quickly, I realized that, for what I wanted to say, a collection of stories were most vital. Writing has, for me, been the best way to figure things out and reach out and communicate with others. And one of the biggest things for me was that there were some pretty huge gaps in our public conversations about war. Do you know the soldiers in your book? Are there real names and voices attached to your characters? There isn’t one character that is a thinlyveiled fictionalized version of a real person. And there’s a reason for that: If I was writing about a
Is it fair to say that we’ve had periods with absolutely no policy? I think that there have certainly been periods where U.S. policy was on autopilot. You were a staff officer, but I’m assuming that you saw some horrible things. I lived near a level-two trauma facility. In the first month, there was a suicide truck-bomb and there were many children injured. There were so many that doctors ran out of trauma tables and they were doing surgery on the floor. It’s shocking to see what can happen to human bodies. Are those images still vivid for you? [Long pause] I don’t spend a lot of time dwelling on them. I apologize if that was a bit too personal. It wasn’t too personal. It’s a terrible thing… a terrible thing. But that’s an unspoken bond that you have with a select number of men and women. Maybe. Can you talk about the experience of being named by The New York Times as one of the best authors of 2014, winning the National Book Award and the overwhelming acceptance of your book? Remarkable. To see that a lot of people have responded to the book with their own perspectives has been immensely gratifying. I feel very privileged. What do you get with a National Book Award? A large bronze trophy. Is that intimidating to stare at? This was your first book and everyone is going to size-up your future work with that trophy. It’s not something I dwell on. The writing is the writing. It’s what I do. BOISEweekly | APRIL 8–14, 2015 | 7

A House of Stone, a Heart of Gold The amazing life (and home) of Erma Andre Madry Hayman GEORGE PRENTICE Apart from some decades-old rose bushes, which will soon bloom for another season, there is no sign of life at 617 Ash Street. But that’s now how Richard Madry sees it.
swung his arm to the north and pointed to where Giraffe Laugh day care is now located], that’s where the local grocer was located.”
“This was my home,” he said, giving Boise Weekly a brief but very personal story of the single-story sandstone house. “I came here before I was 2 years old and lived here for the next 20 years.”
Madry recalls his childhood neighborhood well, but the centerpiece of his existence—and in many ways just as firm as the stone house in which she lived—was his grandmother and primary caregiver, Erma Hayman. She lived at 617 Ash St. until she was 102 years old and, shortly after her death, Madry sold the house and property to the Capital City Development Corporation with hopes of keeping the structure in its original foundation.
The 900-square-foot building, which was once surrounded by rows of wood homes in a densely-populated neighborhood, now sits by its lonesome. Madry looked out on the backyard and framed a section of the property with his outstretched arms. “We had all kinds of vegetables and flowers back here and three gorgeous fruit trees,” he said. “Right across River Street, that’s where the city’s first fronton [handball court] was built for the Basques.

field school set to begin at the end of May and run for the following six weeks. “Hats off to our board,” said CCDC Executive Director John Brunelle. “The timing of the proposal for the archaeological dig was pure coincidence. We’re going to need to make a decision on the house, after some good due diligence, but in the meantime, our board smiled upon the archaeology project. There might not be another chance quite like this.”
“I know they’ll do the right thing,” said Madry, “and it just so happens that this year there will be a lot of activity here, and they’ll have some big decisions to make.”
It’s not every day that archaeologists and CCDC cross paths, but when it came time for historians and Boise’s urban renewal agency to consider the life of Erma Hayman and her stone house, the exceptional was indeed possible.
One of CCDC’s first decisions was to allow a precedentsetting archeological dig—part of a University of Idaho
“This is an extraordinary thing that they’re doing for us,” said Dr. Mark Warner, chair of the University of Idaho B O ISE WE E KLY.C O M
Department of Sociology and Anthropology. “This takes a lot of foresight to say, ‘Let’s capture some of the history that’s beneath of feet and let’s try to learn about a part of Boise that is largely invisible to its citizens.’” As BW learned more about Erma Hayman and the history of the River Street neighborhood, it became clear that what had become increasingly “invisible” to Boise’s citizens needed to be, quite literally, unearthed and shared.
Down By the River What is now known as the River Street neighborhood was homesteaded in 1863 by John McClellan, who built a cottonwood shack from logs floated down the Boise River. Two years later, McClellan named a swath of land “Lover’s Lane,” which would later be called the Pioneer Pathway. In 1892, the Oregon Short Line Railroad laid tracks through the area and the term “other side of the tracks” became a stark reality as the rails divided race and prosperity. As a result, the River Street neighborhood became a place where African Americans, Eastern Europeans and Hispanics made their homes. “Idaho was an extension of the South. It’s a Civil War story. As Union troops advanced into the South, some people fled because they didn’t want to be involved in the war and some people fled because they hated blacks. So, yes there was a Civil War divide in this town,” said Dr. Todd Shallat, director of the Center for Idaho History and Politics at Boise State University. “In many ways, Boise was a Southern city. In many ways it still is. Idaho was a white flight state then and it still is.”

Shallat is plain-spoken, and while he sat outside the stone house, he spoke bluntly about the River Street area, which had been called “Color Town” by some and worse— including the “N” word—by others when referring to the neighborhood south of Boise’s downtown. “Boiseans called this place ‘Color Town,’ so did the cops,” he said. “This was the other side of the tracks, the most integrated neighborhood in town. It’s a very complicated story and it’s a story that we help tell by this house.” Shallat told BW that he considers himself a preservationist, but in the strictest definition of the word. “I may not care as much about the architecture, but I’m really concerned about being informed of Boise’s context. Maybe this house is a wonderful learning example,” said Shallat. “When we have concerns about the present, we look at our past. If you think about it, our future is all about how much or little we know of our history.” According to John Bertram, vice president of Preservation Idaho and an expert on Boise history, “Way too often when we hear about historic buildings, they point us to a mansion on Warm Springs Avenue or a huge house on Harrison Boulevard. We often leave out the working class, and Erma Hayman’s home is very representative of our working class.” Bertram is particularly connected to the Hayman House project. “I knew [Erma] for many years. I first met her in the 1970s,” he said.
Erma’s House The stone house was built on Ash Street in 1907, and though its builder is unknown, Madry, Shallat, Warner and Bertram all pointed to its sandstone construction as being similar to the Idaho Capitol Building, which was being built at the same time. It was also the same time that Erma Andre was born, the 12th of 13 children. She grew up in Nampa, where her father led a family orchestra with each member on a different instrument—Erma played the piano. In 1928, she married Navy Madry and raised three children. Navy died of leukemia in 1935, leaving 28-yearold Erma a widow, and she moved her family to a home on Boise’s Pioneer Street. She was a versatile professional, known as an excellent seamstress and a voracious reader of any book, magazine or newspaper article on fashion. Her sewing skills helped her family survive the Great Depression. Though Erma went to secretarial school, she was unable to find a fulltime job. She eventually made herself a maid’s uniform and would serve parties on Warm Springs Avenue for $1 a day. Erma had little patience for African-American stereotypes of the day. Her daughter, Jeanne, recalled that her teacher at Park Elementary School wanted her to play Aunt Jemima in a school play. Erma marched all the way to school to inform the teacher of her disrespect. Jeanne ultimately played a ballerina. 10 Erma on her 100th birthday in 2007. P H OTO CO U R T E S Y O F R I C H A R D M A D R Y

In 1943, Erma married Lawrence Hayman, a baggage handler for the Union Pacific Railroad, 9 and they purchased the stone house at 617 Ash St. During World War II, Erma was a real-life “Rosie the Riveter” at Boise’s Gowen Field, where she repaired aircraft. “It’s because she was so small and she fit into all these small nooks and crannies,” said Madry. Her longest professional assignment was at the old Lerner Shop on Idaho Street, where Erma dressed windows for more than 20 years. Even after her full-time retirement at the age of 65, she kept working at Lerner’s for seven more years. Shortly thereafter, Erma was a site manager for the Meals on Wheels program and was the chair of the River Street Neighborhood Council. “I remember when she pushed to get them to install a traffic signal at 13th and River streets to make that crosswalk safer,” said Bertram.
The Big Dig
Warner oversaw both of those projects, as well.
William White grew up in Boise.
“We had more than 1,000 people visit the Basque Block project in two weeks and we saw 400 people show up in one week at Fort Boise last summer,” said Warner.
“It’s my hometown. My parents—my dad was black, my mom is white—when they dated back in the 1970s, they would go to the River Street neighborhood because it was one of the few places where they could openly be together back then.” White received his bachelor’s degree from Boise State and a master’s degree from the University of Idaho, both in anthropology. “And I always wanted to be an anthropologist,” he said. “And a number of years ago [now Boise Democratic Sen.] Cherie Buckner-Webb and [then-Boise Councilman] Jerome Mapp would always tell me to do something with the River Street neighborhood. And that was always in the back of my mind.”
Meanwhile, Erma was caring and cooking for a full house, in spite of the fact that the home more often than not had a lot more people than it did space.
White was a student of Warner’s at the U of I, and that’s where he first brainstormed the idea of an archaeological dig in the River Street neighborhood and, in particular, at the home where Erma Hayman once lived.
“There were eight of us living there,” said Madry. “And there was one bedroom and one bathroom. You work things out.” Madry also recalled his grandmother making certain that all of the children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren paid particular attention to their studies.
“This project will be Bill’s dissertation for his doctorate from the University of Arizona. But the River Street neighborhood first came on my radar back in 2006,” said Warner. “The stars just aligned for us.”
“Oh my yes, homework was a very big deal. We didn’t get away with anything,” said Madry, who would go on to become the first African American to graduate from Boise State University when it became a four-year college. “I owe her more than I can ever imagine.” Erma died on Nov. 2, 2009, aged 102. To this day, there are still some of her favorite items inside the home on Ash Street, including a wind chime by the kitchen window looking out on what was once a glorious garden. “But now that same space where the garden grew will become an archaeological dig,” said Madry. “That’s pretty exciting. Who knows what they’ll find?”
10 | APRIL 8–14, 2015 | BOISEweekly
When BW called Warner at his U of I office on the Moscow campus, he said he was still putting together the details for the accredited course that will be the framework of the archaeological dig at the Hayman House. “We just got the OK,” he said. “If you think of it, a lot of archaeology takes place in the middle of nowhere, so this will be a rare opportunity for the public to see a site.” It’s not the first time that Boise will host an inner-city dig. In the fall of 2012, U of I archaeologists unearthed marbles, shoes, tobacco tins and china at the Cyrus Jacobs/Uberuaga House on Grove Street. In June 2014, archaeologists descended on the Fort Boise area near the VA hospital, to find children’s toys and a lot of nails.
White said so many people showed up at the previous digs that this year’s project at the Hayman House will allow the public to sign up to help through the Idaho Archaeological Council. “They’ll be coordinating everything,” said White. “Yes, there will be an opportunity for the public to volunteer to work alongside us, digging and washing artifacts.” For the most part, the project should see plenty of students from accredited colleges and universities working for six weeks beginning in late May. Which begs the question: What might they find at the Hayman House? “You might have a diary and I could learn something about you by reading that,” said Warner. “But if I went through your trash, I would probably learn a lot more about you, things you never thought about. The trash that people leave behind tells us an incredible amount of how they lived their lives—bits and pieces of their day-to-day life that don’t get recorded in textbooks, but provide a rich narrative of how people lived. Individually, we may not find something earth shattering. But collectively, it will tell us a rich story about how they lived.” White added that archaeological digs usually unearth what people lost. “Children’s toys, keys and things they discard. A long time ago, trash didn’t come as often as it does now,” said White. “Bits of plates, glasses, you name it. We should be able to peel away the layers of soil, almost like pages of a book, and then we peel away layers of time. They are all tiny pieces of a puzzle that put together our history.”
Should the Hayman House Stay? Bertram told BW that he’s concerned about a few comments he’s heard indicating that the home might be B O ISE WE E KLY.C O M
moved or razed in favor of modern development. “We’re a little alarmed when we hear that,” he said. “If it’s relocated, it loses its focus and any connection to the neighborhood where it belongs.” More importantly, Bertram said, he wants to see the Hayman House nominated to the National Registry of Historic Places. “But that would be impossible if it’s moved,” he said. Meanwhile, at CCDC, which owns the property, Brunelle said no decision will be made until a thorough review of all the options. “We’re balancing a lot of different things. And make no mistake, this property is very interesting. We’ve been moving pretty fast, faster than ever, on a lot of projects and it’s important not to take too much time, but we’ll do a full due diligence over the next six months and a lot of smart folks have a lot of opinions. And the most important piece of this is public outreach,” he said. “This is all really within the scope of a redevelopment agency that wants to preserve our history and not make some of the mistakes that different entities have made in the past by not preserving.” Bertram said he envisions the stone house being revitalized and reopened for future exhibitions and readings, with some interpretive signs outside along the nearby Pioneer Corridor; benches for people to linger; and a small outdoor area for classes. “They could learn so much about our city, the neighborhood and my good friend Erma,” he said.

BCT dives into Oscar Wilde’s impressive canon for The Fisherman and His Soul.
THE FISHERMAN AND HIS SOUL: BIG CATCH FOR BCT
The last in-theater play of Boise Contemporary Theater’s 2014-15 season landed a keeper with The Fisherman and His Soul. A fisherman (played by Anne McDonald) falls in forbidden love with a mermaid (Jordan Michelle Bowman), but they’re unable to be together unless he divests himself of his soul. After seeking the counsel of a merchant, a priest and a witch, the fisherman learns his shadow is a manifestation of his soul, and he can cut it off with a knife. Once free of the fisherman’s body— and his heart—the soul (Justin Ness) scours the globe in search of wisdom, riches and tales to lure the fisherman out of the sea. The play is visually marvelous. In the first act, the mermaid is bedecked in LED lights and crashing waves are simulated with a lightweight sheet and a high-powered fan. However, the practical effects are a sorbet for the lighting effects dominating the second act when the fisherman’s soul recounts adventures of strongarming kings, dueling imperial guards and stealing precious treasure in elaborate shadow plays that make his tall tales larger than life. Based on a story by Oscar Wilde, Fisherman maintains a firm grasp on weighty ideas. Wilde, who studied Greek and Roman antiquity at Oxford, was familiar with divisions of the soul and hierarchy of desires: Without a heart to guide him, the fisherman’s soul appeases its basest appetites with terrible consequences. “Love,” the fisherman tells his soul, “is better” than all the wisdom and riches in the world. Fisherman was adapted to the stage and directed by Michael Baltzell and Michael Hartwell, who performed a feat in aping Wilde’s fairy tale syntax and cadence. The dialogue is never tedious, and McDonald and Ness imbue their characters with a passion transcendent of their deliberately antiquated modes of speech. An impressive original score by Sean-Patrick Valentine Dahlman illuminates the action on stage. While Fisherman told a seamless tale, the action on stage didn’t always follow suit. In one scene, the fisherman dances with a witch (also played by Bowman) with aerial silks suspended from the ceiling—a distracting and voguish anachronism. Distractions aside, Fisherman turns a simple story into a visually and audibly vibrant spectacle sure to lure in audiences. —Harrison Berry 12 | APRIL 8–14, 2015 | BOISEweekly

the novel’s first-edition dustjacket (a copy of it is on display as part of the exhibition, along with other Hemingway artifacts). Hemingway’s Veneto shows Hemingway in the bloom of life: on a rowboat, training his shotgun on a duck floating in a river lined with eggshell-white Italian villas and mucking through the mud with noblemen. The series also shows Hemingway in the final decade of his life, a time when Ivancich had distanced herself from him: Always a heavy drinker, after the publication of Across the River he was increasingly using alcohol to dull the pain from his injuries, which included a fractured skull, cracked vertebrae and a damaged liver. Photos of Hemingway at this time, his arms bandaged after being burned in a pair of plane crashes in Africa during a big-game hunting trip, are marked by heartbreak. Images of Papa Hemingway abound in popular culture but usually show the author as larger than life. Hemingway’s Veneto shows the Hemingway his friends knew, and Guill said she hopes that students who see this side of him may see his books in a new light. “This is wonderful because kids are walking through here all the time,” Guill said. “Some of them might think, ‘Hey, maybe I should read him.’ I hope they see he was a man.” B O ISE WE E KLY.C O M

When Gardens & Villa canceled its Treefort 2014 set, it was disappointing. The Santa Barbara, Calif.-based indie-rock band probably didn’t do it out of laziness, though: The group was touring Europe not long after Treefort 2014, and G&V has stayed on the road for much of the past few years. To record its latest album, Dunes (Secretly Canadian, 2014), the band spent a month in a Benton Harbor, Mich. studio with producer Tim Goldsworthy. Singer-guitarist Chris Lynch told Redefine Magazine that “there’s a little bit of melancholy in the record that kind of came out of so much time on the road and missing home.” That melancholy didn’t hurt the music. In addition to G&V’s trademark dreamy tunes and vocals, Dunes features more supple beats than the band’s 2011 self-titled debut. The combination makes G&V’s return to Boise worth the wait. —Ben Schultz With Foul Weather; $10 adv., $12 door. Neurolux. 111 N. 11th St., 208-343-0886, neurolux.com.

‘WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED: EILEN JEWELL,’ VISUAL ARTS COLLECTIVE, APRIL 11
Boise and Eilen Jewell are happy to be together again. Since moving back to town in 2012, the folk-country-surf-rockabilly songstress bought a house; had a child with her husband, musician Jason Beek; contributed a song to the Boise 150 compilation album In Our Town (2013); and started her own promotion company, Mess Around Music. Jewell recorded her new album, Sundown Over Ghost Town (Signature Sounds, 2015), which comes out Tuesday, May 26, at Audio Lab Studios. Before the release of Sundown, a bevy of Boise musicians will pay tribute to the “Queen of the Minor Key” with a night of Jewell covers. The show will be recorded and released on CD, DVD and USB drive. Proceeds will benefit a charity of Jewell’s choosing and, at the end of the show, Jewell herself will play a selection of songs from her new record. —Ben Schultz With Bill Coffey, Rocci Johnson and many more; doors 7:30 p.m.; $15 adv., $18 door.

EMINENT DOMAIN: WEAPON OR TOOL?
Legislature passes bill nixing eminent domain for trails JESSICA MURRI When the city of Eagle wanted to pave a one-mile path to connect its riverfront to the Boise Greenbelt, it sparked a dispute between landowners and the city that lasted more than a year. The argument was settled once and for all when the city initiated eminent domain proceedings last spring, which gave the city guaranteed public access and the landowners fair-market value for the easements. The city paid a total of almost $157,000 to three landowners and built a connection for a greenbelt stretch from Eagle to Boise. When Wayne Hoffman, executive director of the Idaho Freedom Foundation, hears stories like that, he calls eminent domain a “weapon.” “It is used to threaten and ultimately injure property owners,” he said. “It’s an extraordinary power the government is given to take away people’s property. Every opportunity we have to take away that power is something I want to utilize.” Hoffman was relieved when Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter signed Senate Bill 1044 into law on March 26. SB 1044—sponsored by Sen. Jim Guthrie, R-McCammon, and Rep. Christy Perry, R-Nampa—doesn’t eliminate local eminent domain, but it does begin to chip away at it. The bill states municipalities can no longer seize private property in exchange for a courtapproved fair payment to build trails, paths and greenways. It doesn’t prevent cities from using eminent domain to build roads, canals, schools, mines and cemeteries, but Hoffman calls it a start. “People have private property rights that are sacred,” he said. “If you don’t have that, you don’t have freedom—even if it’s taken for a cause you believe to be noble and worthy.” Bicycling and walking are noble and worthy, according to Conservation Voters for Idaho Executive Director John Reuter. His organization has spent the past few months trying to stop passage of the bill by canvassing neighborhoods and collecting signatures on a petition. “[SB] 1044 is not about limiting eminent domain,” Reuter said. “It’s about trying to stop 18 | APRIL 8–14, 2015 | BOISEweekly
Conservation Voters for Idaho Executive Director John Reuter: “If the worst this [eminent domain] power has gotten us is the Boise Greenbelt, is it really something we want to take away from cities?”
the expansion of walking and biking throughout our state. It still lets you use eminent domain to plow a road through something.” The new law, which goes into effect Wednesday, July 1, will not solve another controversy over eminent domain in Eagle, where the city is trying to seize a property with an old gas station on it. Though the gas station has been empty since 2001, the owners don’t want to sell to the city. Meanwhile, the Eagle City Council voted 3-2 last month to use eminent domain to seize the property because the station doesn’t fit into the Eagle Urban Renewal Agency’s downtown vision. However, another bill—HB 303—has passed through the House that would aim to bar eminent domain in this instance, as well. HB 303 is currently stuck in a Senate committee. SB 1044 will, however, affect greenbelts. “There would not be a Boise Greenbelt if this law was in effect before,” Reuter said. “These powers have been working effectively in the state for decades. If the worst this power has gotten us is the Boise Greenbelt, is it really something we want to take away from cities?” Eminent domain has only been used once in the past 50 years in Boise, according to Mike Journee, spokesman for the office of Boise Mayor Dave Bieter, when it was used in 1967 to secure a crucial component of the Greenbelt. Journee said 30 percent of people who use the Greenbelt are commuters, so taking away municipalities’ power to expand trails through private property could affect efforts to foster alternative transportation and get cars off the road. “Anytime that local control is taken away from municipal governments, it’s challenging,” he said. Before receiving the governor’s signature, the bill faced opposition on both sides of the aisle. In the Senate, it passed 20-13, with seven Republicans and six Democrats voting against it. The bill
passed the House 54-15, with all 14 Democrats and one Republican voting against it. Once the law goes into effect this summer, Cynthia Gibson worries it will have a negative economic impact. Gibson is executive director of the Idaho Walk Bike Alliance, which represents the 30 percent of Idahoans who don’t drive a car. “These paths and greenbelts, they’re forms of transportation,” Gibson said. Businesses often attract employees to Boise because of its recreation opportunities and 25mile Greenbelt, which is used by about 65,000 people every year, Gibson said. She also pointed to a 2011 survey conducted by Washington D.C.based Belden Russonello Strategists that found homebuyers are willing to pay 20- to 30 percent more for homes in walkable communities. “My generation lived in the suburbs and commuted half-an-hour each way into town,” she said. “Today’s youth doesn’t want that anymore. They want to live in a place where they have transportation choices. They don’t want to get in their cars. If you start building barriers around that, they’re going to go live someplace else.” Gibson also fears that the new law will end up costing taxpayers more. As it stands now, eminent domain requires that land be sold at market prices. Because of that, she said, property owners can significantly raise the price of their land and cities have no process to force them to accept a more reasonable price. “It’s almost inevitable that this will cost taxpayers more money, or trails will not get built,” Reuter added. Gibson calls eminent domain not a weapon, but a tool to help facilitate negotiations between municipalities and property owners. Reuter said SB 1044 gets in the way of that. “This legislation enables individual greed over community values,” he said. B O ISE WE E KLY.C O M

MID-LIFE (NEAR) CRISIS
While We’re Young suffers too many growing pains GEORGE PRENTICE The grass may always be greener on the other side, but it isn’t always funnier. Therein lies the problem with writer/ director Noah Baumbach’s latest, While We’re Young: The usually original filmmaker instead chose to borrow the hackneyed comic contrivance of envy—this time between millennials and Gen Xers—and, as a result, the film lands with a thud.

Seymour Bernstein is the greatest classical pianist you’ve never heard of. An absolute virtuoso, Bernstein was also a savant: He grew up in a home with no music or recordings, yet, at the age of
6, when he heard Schubert’s “Serenade,” he wept and asked to begin playing the piano. By his teens, Bernstein was on his way to musical success, later performing in some of the biggest concert halls to rapt audiences. Actor Ethan Hawke, who is at the top of his game with recent performances in Boyhood and Before Midnight, is now behind the
lens—Seymour is his second directing effort and first documentary— which he focuses on a world-class musician who stepped away from performing in 1977 because of stage fright and retreated to a oneroom Manhattan apartment where he helps younger generations find harmony in their own lives. —George Prentice BOISEweekly | APRIL 8–14, 2015 | 19
BEERGUZZLER IPA REDUX
KNEE DEEP BREWING LUPULIN RIVER IMPERIAL IPA, $6.99-$8.69 A reasonably persistent finger of foam tops this golden brew from Auburn, Calif.’s Knee Deep Brewing. Piney hops mingle with tropical fruit and a hint of sweet malt on the nose. This is a beautifully balanced ale with a cream component to the hop bitterness that colors silky malt and tropical fruit flavors. The finish is clean and dry, lingering nicely. An exceptional, easy drinking brew. PELICAN BREWING CO. UMBRELLA SINGLE-HOP IPA, $4.99-$5.99 This Oregon Coast brew pours a clear and bright saffron yellow, topped by a quickly collapsing, two-finger head. Resin-laced hops lead off on the nose, backed by sweet fruit and fresh grass. The palate opens with fruity hop flavors and spicy malt, with an unusual-but-intriguing touch of coconut and pizza crust topped with tomato sauce—that tastes much better than it sounds. SIERRA NEVADA HARVEST SINGLE-HOP IPA, $5.49-$6.99 This is the first in Sierra Nevada’s 2015 Harvest series, and there’s a local connection: It’s brewed with the new Idaho 7 hop varietal. Another golden pour with a one-finger head, the aromas lean toward cracked wheat biscuit, with just a touch of hop bitterness. That changes on the palate, where the hops play against fruity malt flavors. A smooth, well-balanced effort. —David Kirkpatrick 20 | APRIL 8–14, 2015 | BOISEweekly

After I wrote about IPAs in my last Beerguzzler column, three new 22-ounce bombers hit the Treasure Valley. That’s no surprise when you consider IPAs are the fastest growing craft beer category, shooting from No. 3 in 2013 to No. 1 in 2014. With that in mind, I’m revisiting IPAs, with an imperial and two single-hop brews.
GLORY AND GROWLERS
Kris Komori gets Food and Wine nod and The Growler Guys opens in Meridian TARA MORGAN Boise has been getting a lot of national love. Not only were Modern Hotel Chef Nate Whitley and Acme Bakeshop owner Mike Runsvold named James Beard Award semi-finalists this year, but Kris Komori, chef de cuisine at State & Lemp, has been nominated for Food and Wine’s The People’s Best New Chef. Komori is one of 100 nominees from 10 regions across the United States. Fellow contenders in the Northwest and Pacific region include Zoi Antonitsas from Seattle’s Westward; Joshua McFadden from Portland, Ore.’s Ava Gene’s; and Sarah Pliner from Portland, Ore.’s Aviary. “It’s been a little difficult for me just because I don’t really like the attention so much,” said Komori. “But the restaurant is so small, we sat down, and I talked to everyone: ‘This is not just for me, this is for everyone.’” Komori—who spent time in Portland, Ore. at Park Kitchen and The Bent Brick before relocating to Boise—is honored to be a nominee. “I’ve eaten at maybe four of those Portland restaurants, and I’ve actually staged at one of them: Aviary. Sarah is great, she’s a really great chef,” said Komori. “So it’s flattering to be in with those restaurants.” Voting to crown The People’s Best New Chef in each region is open to the public at foodandwine.com through April 8 at 3 p.m. MST. Results will be announced Thursday, April 9. In brews news, Meridian is now home to a new growler fill station called The Growler Guys. Launched in Bend, Ore., The Growler Guys currently have around 10 fill stations scattered across the Northwest. The Meridian location at 2020 E. Overland Road, Suite 100, is the company’s first Idaho outpost. “We offer craft beer, cider, kombucha and root beer,” said Meridian store co-owner Michael Wood. “We’re predominantly a growler fill station where all of our employees are Master Brewers Association of the Americas Beer Steward-Certified. So people can come in and they don’t necessarily have to know a lot about craft beer and we can educate them about it.” The Growler Guys-Meridian will open its doors Friday, April 10 at 11 a.m. with 48 taps,

but that number will swell to 56 within a couple of weeks. “Our entire menu system is all digital,” said Wood. “So there will be an image of the brewery’s tap handle above the faucet and then information about the beer itself above the image. As soon as a keg blows, something different will go in its place and the new information is put up immediately. It’s all linked to the website.” To celebrate its grand opening, The Growler Guys-Meridian is hosting multiple events Friday, April 10 and Saturday, April 11, including tappings from Bear Island Brewing Co., Sockeye Brewing, LongDrop Cider Co. and Lagunitas Brewing Co. “Every two hours, it’ll be a new local or regional brewer on site to sample their beers and talk about their brewery,” said Wood. “Plus we’re giving away 1,000 free growlers to the first 1,000 customers. … You pay for the fill, but you get the glass for free.” Though the growler station will have some seating options, it’s geared toward fill-and-go clientele. “The space is pretty limited, but we will have a few tables where people can sit and have a pint,” Wood said. Wood and his wife, Angela, are in the process of opening The Growler Guys-Boise. “We’re still scouting locations, so it’s not even under construction yet, but we plan to have things figured out and a new location open by fall,” said Wood. For more info on The Growler Guys-Meridi-
an, visit facebook.com/thegrowlerguysmeridian. In other growler fill station news, Boise’s Pre Funk Beer Bar recently acquired a cool new gadget: a Crowler machine. Sold by Oskar Blues Brewery, the table-top tool allows bars to can their own 32-ounce beers, one at a time. “What happens is we get an empty 32-ounce aluminum can, we then let the customer select whatever beer they want off of our tap system, and then we fill that 32-ounce can with their desired beer,” said Pre Funk owner and founder Justin Flynn. “At that point, we put a blank lid on it and then we take it over to our seamer and the seamer crimps the lid on. … We’re basically making our own beer cans.” Flynn said the 32-ounce cans are perfect for outdoor activities like picnics, camping or hiking. Unlike glass growlers, you can dispose of the cans once you consume their contents. “We suggest people recycle them,” said Flynn. “We’re going to try to come out with a punchcard. If you bring your growler can back 10 times, you get a free growler just to promote recycling.” Flynn also says Crowlers are a great way to preserve special releases for future consumption. “Right now, it’s only good for about 7 to 10 days,” said Flynn. “But we’re trying to get them to last as long as possible, in the event that you have a rare beer on tap that you want to can and save for a while.” Pre Funk Crowlers cost the same price as their half-growlers, anywhere from $8 to $10.

SECRET GARDEN: AN INKY TREASURE HUNT AND COLORING BOOK
For anyone who read Frances Hodgson Burnett’s The Secret Garden (or saw any of the film adaptations), Johanna Basford’s best-selling coloring book Secret Garden, will evoke fond memories of young, displaced Mary discovering the garden, Colin and her true nature in the timeless classic. From the black-and-white and goldleaf dust jacket to the book’s final page, Basford—a Scottish author, illustrator and “ink evangelist”—has drawn delicate flora and fauna in designs so intricate, it’s hard to believe they aren’t $12.56 computer generated. johannabasford.com Throughout Secret Barnes and Noble Garden are hidden items (there’s a key on where to find them all at the back, and even that is beautiful), mazes, puzzles and instructions such as “draw a flock of birds perched on the scarecrow” and “draw a swarm of butterflies and blossoms.” Rather than come off as condescending, these games and activities invite even grownups to engage beyond simply coloring in the lines, although that alone is captivating enough to keep even the most distractible adult occupied for hours. Though activity/coloring books are usually geared toward children, Basford’s Secret Garden is, as it reads on the back “for artists and gardeners of all ages.” Still, if it feels strange to buy a coloring book for yourself, pick one up for a kid in your life and enjoy it with them. Just make sure to get two sets of colored pencils, pens or crayons—might as well have a set on hand when you discover how much you want a copy of Secret Garden for yourself. —Amy Atkins B OI S E WEEKLY.C O M

Evans of
FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Uitwaaien is a Dutch word that means to go out for a stroll in windy weather simply because it’s exhilarating. I don’t know any language that has parallel terms for running in the rain for the dizzy joy of it, or dancing through a meadow in the dark because it’s such nonsensical fun, or singing at full volume while riding alone in an elevator in the mad-happy quest to purge your tension. But in the coming weeks, you don’t need to describe or explain experiences like this; you just need to do them. Experiment with giving your instinctive need for exuberance lots of room to play. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your nasty, nagging little demon isn’t nasty or nagging anymore. It’s not doing what demons are supposed to do. It’s confused, haggard and ineffective. I almost feel sorry for the thing. It is barely even keeping you awake at night, and its ability to motivate you through fear is at an all-time low. Here’s what I suggest: Now, when the demon’s strength is waning and its hold on you is weak, you should break up with it for good. Perform an ultimate, non-reversible exorcism. Buy it a one-way bus ticket to the wasteland and say goodbye forever. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When he was in his 50s, French painter Claude Monet finally achieved financial success. He
used his new riches to buy a house and land, then hired gardeners to help him make a pond full of water lilies. For the first time in his life, he began to paint water lilies. During the next 30 years, they were his obsession and his specialty. He made them a central feature of 250 canvases, which now serve as one of his signature contributions to art history. “I planted my water lilies for pleasure,” he said. “I cultivated them without thinking of painting them. And then suddenly, I had the revelation of the magic of my pond.” I regard the imminent future as a good time for you to do something similar, Gemini: Create or find a source of beauty that will stimulate your sense of wonder and fuel your passion to express yourself for a long time. CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Everything we do in life is based on fear, especially love,” said Cancerian comedian Mel Brooks. Although he was joking, he was also quite serious. More often than we like to admit, desperation infects our quest to be cared for. Our decisions about love may be motivated by a dread of loneliness. We worry about whether we are worthy of getting the help and support we need. It’s a fundamental human problem, so there’s no reason to be ashamed if you have this tendency yourself. Having said that, I’m happy to report that you now have the necessary power to
24 | APRIL 8–14, 2015 | BOISEweekly
overcome this tendency. You will be able to summon tremendous courage as you revise and refine your relationship with love. It’s time to disappear the fear. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Do you ever feel reverence and awe, Leo? Are there times when you spontaneously yearn to engage in acts of worship? Is there anyone or anything that evokes your admiration, humility and gratitude? The coming weeks will be a good time to seek out experiences like these. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will get tender jolts of transformational inspiration if you blend yourself with a sublime force that you trust and respect. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A lot has happened since you were... uh... indisposed. You’ve missed out on several plot twists. The circle has been broken, repaired, broken again and partially repaired. Rumors have been flying, allegiances have been shifting and riddles have been deepening. So are you ready yet to return to the heated action? Have you learned as much as you can from the commotion that provoked your retreat? Don’t try to return too early. Make sure you are at least 70 percent healed. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Rent, but don’t buy yet. That’s
my $250-per-hour advice. Keep rehearsing, but don’t start performing the actual show. OK? Flirt, but don’t fall in love. Can you handle that much impulse control? Are you strong enough to explore the deeper mysteries of patience? I swear to you that your burning questions will ultimately be answered if you don’t try to force the answers to arrive according to a set timetable. I guarantee that you will make the necessary connections as long as you don’t insist that they satisfy every single one of your criteria. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The Guerrilla Girls are a group of prankster activists who use humor to expose sexism and racism in the art world. Every so often they take a “weenie count” at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. During their first survey in 1989, they found that 5 percent of the artists who had work hanging in the galleries were women, while 85 percent of the nudes depicted in the paintings were women. More recently, in 2012, their weenie count revealed that 4 percent of the artists were female but 76 percent of the naked people in the paintings were female. The coming week would be a good time for you to take a weenie count in your own sphere, Scorpio. Conditions are more favorable than usual to call attention to gender disparities and to initiate corrective action.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The English term “engine” refers primarily to a machine that transforms energy into mechanical power, but its roots are in the Old French word engin, which meant skill or wit, and in the Latin word ingenium, defined as “inborn talent.” I’d like to borrow the original meanings to devise your horoscope this week. According to my reading of the astrological omens, your “engine” is unusually strong right now, which means that your cultivated skills and innate talents are functioning at peak levels. I suggest you make intensive use of them to produce maximum amounts of energy and gather more of the clout you’d love to wield. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): What I’m about to say is not a hard scientific fact, but it is a rigorous poetic fable. You don’t need to go to the mountain, because the mountain is willing and able to come to you. But will it actually come to you? Yes, but only if you meet two conditions. The mountain will pick itself up and move all the way to where you are if you make a lot of room for it and if you are prepared to work with the changes its arrival will bring. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you were a 4-year-old, cookies might be a valuable treasure to you. Given a choice between a bowl of stir-fried organic vegetables and
a plate full of chocolate coconut macaroons, you’d probably choose the macaroons. For that matter, if you were 4 years old and were asked to decide between getting a pile of macaroons and a free vacation to Bali or an original painting by Matisse or a personal horoscope reading from the world’s greatest astrologer, you’d also opt for the cookies. But since you’re a grownup, your list of priorities is screwed on straight, right? You would never get distracted by a sugary, transitory treat that would cause you to ignore a more nourishing and longlasting pleasure. Right? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): On June 23, 1917, Babe Ruth was the starting pitcher for the Boston Red Sox in a Major League Baseball game against the Washington Senators. After the first batter drew a walk, Ruth got upset with the home plate umpire and punched him in the head. Ejected! Banished! The Babe had to be dragged off the field by the cops. The new pitcher was Ernie Shore. He proceeded to pitch a perfect game, allowing no further Washington player to reach base in all nine innings. In the coming weeks, Pisces, I see you as having the potential to duplicate Ernie Shore’s performance in your own sphere. Coming in as a replacement, you will excel. Chosen as a substitute, you will outdo the original. B O IS E WE E KLY. C O M

CULTURE NEWS ALIVE AFTER FIVE STAYS PUT
The Grove Plaza will never look the same as it did last summer. Since the Gardner Company—known for building the mammoth Eighth and Main Tower—broke ground on the City Center Plaza in June 2014, a large chunk of the Grove has been consumed by construction and tall fencing. As the Grove changes to accommodate a subterranean transit center, a nine-story office building and five-story convention facility, that won’t stop the summer concert series Alive After Five from claiming its home in the iconic public space. The weekly, Wednesday night party sponsored by the Downtown Boise Association and attended by thousands every week has taken place on the Grove for almost 30 years. From June 4 through Aug. 26, the Gardner Company is committed to keeping it that way. “I’m happy to say that Alive After Five is still scheduled to take place on the Grove this year,” said Strategies 360 Communications Associate Nicole Kinney, speaking on behalf of Gardner. “We know that the concert series is a favorite community tradition and, as one of the events that makes this spot our city’s premier gathering place, it’s near and dear to the Gardner Company’s own hearts.” That couldn’t be better news for DBA Executive Director Karen Sander, who has been trying to figure out exactly where Alive After Five would land amid the construction. “As soon as the roof on the Main Street Station [transit center] gets built, the construction fencing that is on the plaza right now will be pushed back,” Sander told Boise Weekly. “Then, the Grove will be pretty close to its usual size.” For a while, the location for Alive After Five was in doubt. If construction took up too much space to host the event in the Grove, Sander and her staff were looking at two back-up plans: Capitol Park and the Basque Block. The City Council even approved a special accommodation that would allow the DBA and other event organizers to serve alcohol in Capitol Park. Even though Alive After Five will stay in its longtime home, the remodeling will be obvious. “The stage and vendor configuration may look a bit different this year,” Kinney cautioned. —Jessica Murri
