EDITOR’S NOTE PRIDE AND PREJUDICE Since it seems to be a requirement that every media source in the country include a reference to Rachel Dolezal, here are my two cents on the white Montana woman who recast herself as a black civil rights activist in Spokane, Wash. Actually, I’m borrowing one cent from Ruth Hopkins, writing on lastrealindians.com—don’t forget, Dolezal also claimed to have grown up in a teepee and hunted for food with a bow and arrow. “Rachel and others like her do more harm than good, because cultural appropriation hurts racial reconciliation,” wrote Hopkins. Put another way, reconciliation is the settling of differences, and that requires honesty. Dolezal’s dishonesty has confused rather than given clarity to the broad issues that intersect in her bizarre story: race, feminism and identity. No matter the good she did as a social justice advocate, and no matter that race is a social construct, the latter is so freighted with history, we’d be naive to think it can be transcended with bronzer. By contrast, in Boise this week we have several opportunities to take part in the honest work of reconciliation, acceptance and the celebration of differences. Thursday, June 18-Friday, June 19 we celebrate Idaho’s Jewish community with Deli Days and the Idaho Jewish Festival. Friday, June 19-Sunday, June 21, we embrace an array of cultures with the World Village Festival and we welcome new citizens with World Refugee Day on Saturday, June 20. Finally, Wednesday, June 17-Saturday, June 20, the 25th annual Boise Pridefest will honor the long struggle for LGBT equality. This year’s Pridefest is particularly meaningful, coming as it does a few months shy of the 60th anniversary of the so-called “Boys of Boise” anti-gay crackdown (see Culture, Page 10) and the first anniversary of the legalization of same-sex marriage in Idaho. That both of those events share a birth month in October should give us pause: In 60 years members of the LGBT community have gone from living in fear of arrest to being able to marry in the very courthouse where they once would have been tried. That was not achieved dishonestly, and—while much remains to be done for true equality—it is cause for rightful pride. —Zach Hagadone

OPINION ASK BILL ABOUT IT Read out Idaho BILL COPE Hi Willy Billy. I told the Cope’s-Latest-Column Discussion Group I’ve been calling you “Willy Billy,” and old Mr. Hamperstein thought I should change it to “Wild Bill,” like after that old-time cowboy who got shot for playing poker, you know? And then my friend Dottie said, “No, he should be called ‘Willful Bill,’ because sometimes you can be a little pig-headed, according to Dottie, who thinks you are going to burn in Hell because you won’t “Obey the Laws of our Lord God Almighty,” and that’s Dottie talking, not me. Anyway, I think “Willy Billy” is just fine and I told them so. It makes me mad because every time the Cope’s-Latest-Column-Discussion-Group meets, everyone thinks they have a better idea than everyone else. Especially Dottie to especially me. Like what happened last week when we were discussing the column you called “Humpty-Dumpty Country.” Do you remember that one? And anyway, in it, you implied that Republican bigwigs don’t care that America’s infrastructures are crumbling away like dried up mousetrap cheese, because they plan on being somewhere else when nothing works anymore. Do I have that right? That’s what Mr. Hamperstein thinks you were implying and I couldn’t think of any reason to argue with him. So I said, “Well, if I were going to move somewhere so I wouldn’t be around when everything here goes kerplunkity, I’d move to Ireland,” which I hear is really pretty there and besides, I must have some family there because my Dad always used to joke how Mom’s side of the family was half Irish and all lush, even though Mom didn’t think it was one bit funny. So that is when Dottie called me stupid. Yes, she did, can you believe it? Right there in front of Mr. Hamperstein and that nice Bleaker couple who I’ve never talked about because they are new, and the Yardleys, and Larry Phlapp, who I think joined the Cope’s-Latest-Column-Discussion-Group to meet women. She said, “You’re just stupid if you think Ireland is going to be any better off than America.” Well, I was stunned, let me tell you. I’ve always suspected Dottie thought I was stupid, but she’s never come right out and said it out loud before. I was so stunned, I could not think of a thing to say, so I was awfully glad when that nice Jenny Bleaker said, “What’s so stupid about moving to Ireland?” That’s when Dottie told us that the Lord may even be harder on Ireland than He is on America because they just voted to legalize gay marriages there. I should have known it had something to do with gay marriages. Dottie hates gay marriages. Almost as much as she hates what she calls “Constitution wreckers” and coleslaw and President Obama. Then Mr. Hamperstein tried to change the subject because he hates it when Dottie starts rattling on and on about gay Bible stuff, and he said, “OK Dottie, tell us where would you move if you thought everything was going kerplunkity?” And Dottie said, “I wouldn’t move anywhere at all because I’m already where we Christian patriots will make our final stand.” Well, I didn’t know what she was talking about so I said, “The Christian patriots are going to make their final stand in my living room?” And everyone laughed, except for Dottie. She just said, “You’ll see. Mark my words, this is the place where the Lord’s people are coming. Right here in the American Read Out.” And that’s when Mr. Hamperstein muttered something about horse poop and got up to leave. It was getting late anyway so everybody else started picking up the paper plates and Dixie cups, and I never did get a chance to ask Dottie what an American Read Out is. Which is why I am writing you this time, Willy Billy. I would ask Dottie the next time I see her what an America Read Out is, but she always gets so smirky whenever I ask her anything. So I thought I would ask you, instead. And also, if anything you have written is going to be read out at the American Read Out, let us know and I will try to be there when it happens. Maybe Larry Phlapp will go with me, but I don’t think I’ll ask my friend Dottie. Sometimes I wish I had better friends. Let me know, Willy Billy—Your Bestest Fan, Anonymous ••• Always a pleasure to hear from you, Anon. And hear from you. And hear from you. Speaking of which, let me ask if you would mind if I do a little light editing on your letters in the future. While you may not feel like you are constrained by word limits, I am. And as much as I enjoy your Pynchonesque approach to writing letters, you occasionally leave me with no room for a proper reply—as is the present case. Now, as to your question... I believe you have confused what your dubious friend Dottie was saying. It is the “American Redoubt,” not “Read Out.” I, myself, became aware of the phenomenon just recently, and I assure you, it bears not only closer scrutiny, but a lot of it. To sum it up as concisely as my remaining space allows, the American Redoubt is a grand scheme to turn the states of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, along with eastern portions of Washington and Oregon, into a haven for the nation’s paranoid lunatic fringe. I intend to write much more on the American Redoubt in the future. Stay tuned, Anon. And don’t leave Dottie alone with your silverware. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

OPINION CONSUMERS, REPORT! The selfhood of stuffhood JOHN REMBER We have a support-the-late-capitalist-economy song for our trips to Boise: “CostCo WinCO and Home DePOT/ In the car we always GO/ We drive fast and never SLOW/ Consume, Consume, is our MotTO.” Verse 2: “Buying Kleenex for our NOSES/ For the table, here’s some ROSES/ Ten pairs of socks, for our cold TOESES/ A new device, for SELFIE POSES.” Verse 3: “In the bulk foods, we do FROLIC...” What? OK, I won’t—even though Verse 4, inspired by the Home Depot plumbing department, is coming right up. Still no? I’m sorry you feel that way. It’s just—I was proud of those lines. Full disclosure: I haven’t told Julie about our song yet. She won’t want to sing any of it, even Verse 4. She’s disciplined about shopping, and if everyone were as frugal and sensible a shopper as she is, industrial civilization would collapse in a week. It’s only when I go to Boise by myself that we end up with battery-powered vacuum cleaners, 40-inch pumpkin pies and another hundred pounds of spaghetti for the crawl space. Julie was with me during this year’s early summer Costco run, when I found a 75-inch curved screen display that was superior to life itself. “Julie,” I yelled to next aisle, “We have to get one of these.” Julie gazed at the tangible images of attractive young people rock climbing and windsurfing and jumping off high cliffs in wingsuits. She listened to the bass-heavy soundtrack coming from the soundbar underneath them. “No,” she said. “We have to get coffee, ink cartridges, liquid soap, avocados, quinoa, manchego cheese, pinot noir, frozen chicken thighs, reading glasses, coconut milk—if Costco doesn’t have it Winco will—and a pineapple. No 75-inch display on the list.” “Just look at it,” I said. “It’s a doorway into super-reality. We won’t have to leave the house. We won’t want to leave the house.” She shook her head. Julie’s parents limited her to Sesame Street as a child, and my parents only purchased a TV—which they referred to as The Devil Box—after I’d left for college. As a result, we lack the normal childhood-acquired immunity to video screens in restaurants and airports. We have to find places where neither of us can see the screen, or one of us ends up talking to a slack-jawed, glassy-eyed spouse whose only interest is in Fox News’ latest expose of Obamacare death panels. “A 75-inch screen would be bad for us,” she said. “That’s what you said about the 50-inch screen and the Netflix subscription,” I said. “But 6 | JUNE 17–23, 2015 | BOISEweekly

what about those happy hours we spent watching Dr. Who last winter? Those terrific insights into human nature in House of Cards? What about Sherlock? You liked that guy, I remember. Bandersnatch Cummerbund?” “That’s not his name,” said Julie, in a tight little voice. “Anyway, we won’t even have to go down to Boise once Costco gets delivery drones up and running next winter. They can land on the deck. I won’t even have to snow-blow the driveway.” She wasn’t paying attention to me. “We’ll have to strap it on the roof to get it home,” she finally said. “I saw a hundred-pack of bungees four aisles back.” I had to get her attention by waving the Costco flyer in front of her eyes. “How about we check out some pool furniture?” she said. “Stop it. We don’t have a pool.” Careful not to glance to either side, we led each other out of the video section and headed for the cheese. There’s a dark side to this story. Last summer I came to Boise to buy a wood truck. Firewood is the one resource Sawtooth Valley has in excess, thanks to the mountain pine beetle, and if there’s one thing that winter here requires more than a giant flatscreen, it’s a wood truck—preferably one that won’t catch fire in the woods, which is what happened to our old one—because you have to get the wood from woods to wood stove, so you can see the TV without having to peer out from under a pile of blankets. I found the truck I wanted and was signing ownership papers when the salesman said, “Sawtooth Valley, huh? If industrial civilization goes down—if The Shit Hits the Fan—I’m packing the wife and kids and guns in the minivan and we’re heading for the Sawtooths to live off the land.” I thought of some of my neighbors, who have spent their lives thinking about fans, and what hits them, and the inevitable demise of civil society when the oil runs out. They swap end-ofdays recipes, and while the recipes involve Boise refugees, they don’t involve feeding them. “Not a good idea,” I said, “You can’t live off the land in the Sawtooths. It’s too cold. Mostly rock. Nothing grows.” He gave me a suspicious look, as if he might be talking to a man living over a crawl space packed to the floor joists with spaghetti. “Not a good idea,” I repeated. “Sawtooth Valley doesn’t have a Costco. And if industrial civilization collapses, we won’t even have delivery drones. You’d starve to death. Knowing the neighbors, that would be a good thing.” BOISE WEEKLY.COM

While Boise builds new terminal, new buses will soon roll on major routes GEORGE PRENTICE

The look on his face was lost; friendly but lost. Naquibullah Rafiqee, who arrived in Boise two weeks ago from Afghanistan, walked up to a bus stop near Idaho Street and Capitol Boulevard and took a hard look at the signs dedicated to various bus routes. “Excuse me,” Rafiqee asked. “Vista?” Yes, we assured him; he was in the right place to catch ValleyRide’s No. 3 bus, which circulates from Idaho Street south to Ninth Street, up the hill to Vista Avenue, south along Vista to the Boise Airport, then back down Vista and Capitol to Idaho Street. Rafiqee, dressed in a knee-length powder blue tunic and matching slacks, told Boise Weekly that he had worked with the U.S. Army in his wartorn country and was recently resettled in Boise by the U.S. State Department. He was anxious to get to his English as a Second Language class, which is required for his resettlement, but his English wasn’t half bad. “My bus pass,” he said, pointing to one of his first American possessions. Rafiqee was one of approximately 19 people who ride the No. 3 Vista route every hour, according to Valley Regional Transit. On a recent weekday afternoon, BW noted a variety of passengers climbing aboard the No. 3: several parents with children in tow, five refugees joining Rafiqee on the way to ESL class, half a dozen senior citizens and a businesswoman who loaded her bicycle on the bus’s bike rack before hopping on board. The return trip saw five travelers embark at the Boise Airport and depart in downtown Boise. Last year, more than 93,000 people rode the No. 3 bus, an increase of 16 percent over the prior year. “What is that giant crane for?” Rafiqee asked, pointing to the skyscraping crane looming over the future site of the City Center Plaza.

buildings and a convention facility, Rafiqee listened politely. But when he heard us say that the development would also include the Main Street Station, a subterranean hub for Boise’s downtown bus service, Rafiqee beamed. “That’s where I’ll be,” he said. With all of the enthusiasm about the changing face of downtown Boise—the City Center Plaza, JUMP, the Eighth and Main Tower, the rebirth of Central Addition—it’s easy to forget a bus station is the centerpiece of much of that development. “It will be a different dynamic,” said Kelli Fairless, executive director of Valley Regional Transit. “Our future will increasingly depend on connections to downtown.”

formed as a public agency to operate mass transit in Ada and Canyon counties in 1999. Today, VRT’s operational funding is unique among U.S. transit systems. “Most cities and states have dedicated funding sources,” said Fairless. “We’re reliant on voluntary contributions from local governments.”

PAYING THE FARE SHARE

“Voluntary” is the key word. If the city doesn’t pay, VRT is hard pressed to provide service. More importantly, when a city does pay, Fairless spends much of her time in front of city councils detailing ridership, costs and plans for the future. “The problem, of course, is that we’re competing with police, fire and libraries when we’re looking for funding from local governments,” said THE PAST IS PRESENT Fairless, who quickly added that she doesn’t like to The city of Boise had just been designated play hardball with cities who don’t pay up. as the capital of the new state of Idaho in 1890 “We’re not about shoving public transportawhen a streetcar was introduced.

Boise Mayor Dave Bieter: “The application of [public] art is quantiﬁable. “

TRAFFIC BOXES AND BASKETBALL Attorney Jessica Pollack had just emerged victorious from a precedent-setting challenge to the city of Boise’s bidding process for the fabrication and wrapping of public art around traffic boxes. It was the first time in memory that a city procurement process had been protested, let alone successfully challenged. Pollack convinced a majority of city leaders that the process had been unfair and bids needed to go back to the drawing board. “Honestly, we didn’t do much celebrating. We just went home and watched the NBA finals on TV,” she said. The “we” is Pollack and her client, Mike Tankersley, who is also her husband and the owner of Boise-based Signs2U. Boise Weekly readers learned about Tankersley and Pollack in May, when they questioned the Boise City Department of Arts and History bid process, which was about to be awarded to another sign company that had actually been the highest bidder. A formal challenge followed the BW investigation but was denied by city staff. The complaint ended up in a formal protest hearing before the Boise City Council. Taking on City Hall can be a bit like taking on NBA living legend Lebron James, the centerpiece of the current NBA finals. “This is really about two victories,” Pollack told BW. “The smaller victory is that this is being re-bid, but the larger victory comes when the city takes a good hard look at its procurement process.” Council President Maryanne Jordan said it was a “miracle that this is the only situation like this that we can remember having,” and that her concerns “were many and varied” before recommending that the original traffic box art wrap bid be sent back to the drawing board. The rest of the council agreed, with one exception: Councilman Scott Ludwig, himself an attorney, who said the bid should not have been rescinded. “There’s no question that selecting the art is subjective,” said Mayor Dave Bieter, “but the application of that art is quantifiable. It becomes more of an objective process.” The Department of Arts and History initially told BW that it wanted to have the 39 traffic boxes wrapped by this summer, but a reboot on the bidding process will most certainly push that back. —George Prentice 8 | JUNE 17–23, 2015 | BOISEweekly

An analysis of VRT ridership reveals approximately 1.2 million people were aboard one of VRT’s nearly 30 routes in 2014. Two of the busiest routes, the No. 9 State Street and the No. 7 Fairview, will soon see greater frequency. “Fairview has always had a challenge with staying on time. So, beginning in August, we’re going from every 40 minutes to every 30 minutes [5:35 a.m.-7:45 p.m., Monday-Friday],” said Fairless. “Also, every half hour we’ll go out

ANNUNCIATORS AND MEDICAID Another significant change is coming to every bus on every route in the VRT system: A new voice. Currently, many VRT drivers shout out the names of streets or landmarks for particular bus stops, but they’re inconsistent and sometimes difficult to hear. Something called an “annunciator” is about to change that. The Americans with Disabilities Act requires public transit providers to announce transfer points, major intersections and destination points at intervals along a bus route so that individuals with visual impairments or other disabilities can be oriented to their location. With the new annunciators, an automated voice will announce each stop on speakers throughout the bus. The technology isn’t cheap. It will cost VRT

That’s a really growing neighborhood, especially with the branch library there.” There were approximately 131,000 boardings on Fairview’s No. 7 bus. State Street’s No. 9 bus, which runs every 30 minutes on weekdays, saw even more with boardings in excess of 200,000 in 2014. “One more change is coming in August: We’re extending our daily schedules on Fairview and State to 10 p.m.,” said Fairless. “Yes, this all costs money, but we’ve got a number of things that we would like to do.”

funded services, the Idaho Legislature ordered its administrator to work through a broker to assign any transportation for Medicaid-eligible patients to the least expensive provider. “So they naturally come to us,” said Fairless. “We run ACCESS Paratransit because it’s federally required. Any community that takes any federal dollars has to provide paratransit. And the state’s Medicaid broker is paying us our traditional $2 fare for their Medicaid patients for a trip that costs $30 on average.” Fairless said there has been a continuous rise in riders using ACCESS Paratransit and that means VRT is hemorrhaging money on a program that it is required to provide. “You know what’s happening on this? Local governments end up subsidizing this,” said Fairless. “Look at the demographics of our population. That number is only going to go up.”

approximately $400,000 to retrofit its current fleet of about 48 buses with annunciators, and the system is scheduled to go live in summer 2016. A separate service offered by VRT, called ACCESS Paratransit, is also required by ADA and designed as a safety net for people with disabilities. ACCESS Paratransit is a door-to-door service for eligible riders who find it difficult to take a traditional bus to a bus stop that may be too far from a physician’s appointment, for example. “We serve hundreds of people through that program,” said Fairless. “We’re proud to offer that service.” However, a little known loophole in Idaho Medicaid funding is bleeding the program and, as a result, VRT. In a recent change to Medicaid-

Meanwhile, at Boise City Hall, planners are poring over analysis for a so-called “circulator” system that could be added to Boise’s public transportation system. Whether it’s a streetcar, light rail or rubber-wheeled system remains to be seen. “Honestly, we’ve looked at 45-plus possible routes. Now, we’re at a point of putting a cost to them. Our next steps are to spend some time with our stakeholders, the mayor and council and, of course, the public,” said Vince Trimboli, Community Relations supervisor for the Boise Public Works Department. “I would think that in the fall or early winter, we’ll be out with some options. It’s going a bit slower than our original timeline, but it’s a big decision. We would rather take our time and have the best information possible.” One of the most important decisions will be whether the primary route will run east/west or north/south. “Some people have indicated that a locally preferred alternative would include everything and that would be pretty expensive,” said Trimboli. “But we’re probably going to be talking about something we call an MOS—that’s a minimal optimum segment. That would be something that could be added on to. And then there are the options of whether it’s a rail-based system or a bus system, but there also has to be an option that is no-build. We will always need to ask if the preferred option is not to build anything.” Driving much of that conversation will be the Main Street Station, currently under construction at Main and Capitol. “Having a connection is key,” said Trimboli. “Look at the Boise Green Bike system, look at all of the conversation on bike lanes and, of course, Main Street Station.” He added that a circulator would certainly sustain a robust VRT bus system. “It’s an exciting time for transportation,” he said.

When I came back as an independent and finally won a Europa Cup event, all of a sudden I was cool again. But honestly, many of the people who supported me cared less about how I did and cared more about my love for competing.

HAILEY DUKE

‘I’ve done exactly what I wanted to do… and then some… and then some more.’

I don’t think a lot of Americans can appreciate the level of celebrity that world-class skiers enjoy outside this country. It’s stunning—a different world. Did you ever make time for personal relationships in your years of international competition? It’s too difficult, unless someone has nothing better do than follow a skier around. That’s nearly impossible. I just didn’t go down that road.

GEORGE PRENTICE Hailey Duke has talked with Boise Weekly at several crossroads during her world-class skiing career, but rarely in person. The last time BW talked with the Idaho native, she was seven time zones away in the town of Stubai in the Austrian Alps. Hailey never had an “off season.” She would compete in Europe or North America in the winter and early spring, and practice in South America at the height of summer. That was then. When BW sat down with Duke recently at a downtown Boise coffee shop, she was getting ready to surmount another challenge—this time, a little closer to home. After spending the better part of a decade traveling the globe as a member of the U.S. National Team and as an independent competitor, Duke, 29, will be going back to college in the fall in pursuit of a degree in business management. The cliche about world-class skiers is that they’re always living on the edge. Some athletes are out there for the adrenaline rush, but I’m not really one of those athletes. I always loved the feel of skiing, the finesse. It was more like a puzzle that I needed to piece together.

Were you shackled to long-term goals or short-term goals? You have to have both. There were specific criteria for making the U.S. Ski Team. Then it’s all about world rankings and points. Then you work your way up the start list. Then you have to gain the number of your days on snow.

Why did you choose slalom? Here in the West, we’re pretty notorious for big hills and speed skiing, but I love the feel of generating speed as opposed to maintaining it. The slalom chose me over the years and treated me very well.

What does that mean? “Days on snow” is the preparation period, especially during the summer. You can go to Mount Hood [in Oregon], but that’s not really winter snow. You really have to go to South America.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

I’d be remiss if we didn’t talk a bit about the Olympics. It seems that every four years, Americans are obsessed with your sport for two weeks and become mini-experts about alpine skiing. It’s the only time you see it on TV in the States, but in Europe, skiing is on TV constantly. It’s in the bars, restaurants, shops and gas stations. It’s their football. Are you asked about the Olympics often? [Duke was a member of Team USA at the Vancouver Winter Games.] Right after someone says, “Oh my gosh, you’re a World Cup skier,” immediately following is, “Are you in the Olympics?” And then…

event in Slovenia. The snow was grippier than I thought, and I couldn’t handle it and flew off the course. It was a DNF. That’s “did not ﬁnish.” Honestly, I had recently got all of my puzzle pieces together, and things were clicking so well with my skiing. I just couldn’t do it on that particular race day. After so many years of being pissed when I went off the course, that time this past March, I thought, “I’m OK.’ I’ve done exactly what I wanted to do… and then some… and then some more.” And I was finally good with that. If someone were to pay your way for another season, would you be heading to South America to get ready to compete again? I think I would still be done. I absolutely fulfilled what I tried to do. I just let it go. And now you’re heading oﬀ to college. My boyfriend and I are heading to Salt Lake in August where I’ll be going to Westminster College. Tell me about this boyfriend. Patrick. He cuts custom glass for Glassmasters in Sun Valley. He was so removed from the ski racing world, and that was great. He’s super supportive and he told me, “Now, it’s all about moving to Salt Lake and getting you to school.” Life isn’t so bad. Are you taking a full load of classes? What other way is there?

Let me guess the next question: “Did you win a gold medal?” Sometimes it’s the only question. I say, “No, only one person was able to win that day.”

So, what are your new goals? I have a strong entrepreneurial sense. I think I’ve learned in the past few years to make things happen, but sometimes to let things just come together. I don’t want to close off a lot of opportunities by deciding exactly where I want to go.

Tell me about the moment that you decided to stop competing. It was early March [2015], a World Cup

That’s an interesting change. I have the next four years to think that through in college. Unless I speed it up.

THE BOYS OF BOISE: 60 YEARS LATER Party for Pride this week.

Looking back at Boise’s notorious LGBT crackdown Z ACH HAGADONE

PROUD OF PRIDEFEST 2015 This year marks an historic time for the LGBT community as Idaho celebrates the 2014 legalization of same-sex marriage and the 25th anniversary of Pridefest. Though events have technically been happening all month, the best is yet to come with events taking place throughout downtown. On Wednesday, June, 17, there will be a screening of Waiting in the Wings: The Musical at The Flicks, sponsored by the Boise Gay Men’s Chorus. A Q&A with writer, producer and actor Jeffrey Johns will follow the screening. On Thursday, June 18, check out Boise’s Voice Xtravaganza singing competition— with performances by Rebecca Scott Band, G-String Quartet, Common Ground Community Chorus, Boise Gay Men’s Chorus, Michael Rotchford and Leta Neustaedter—at Hannah’s and a fashion show at The Balcony. Festivities kick into high gear on Friday, June 19, when Mix 106 and Adam & Eve sponsor the Pride kick-oﬀ concert at Lucky Dog, with Portland, Ore., band Dirty Looks. Doors open at 9 p.m. and tickets cost $10. Pay $15 for the Pride Pack and also get into the Saturday night closing BOISE PRIDEFEST concert (see boisepridefest.com. below). On Saturday, June 20, get ready to show your pride at the ofﬁcial Pride Rally, which starts at 11 a.m. on the Capitol steps. At 11:30 a.m., the Pride Parade leaves from the Capitol, making its way through downtown to the Pride Festival, which features a free performance by C&C Music Factory. On Saturday night, Las Vegas-based Lady Gaga tribute artist, Erika Gaga, will close out Pridefest with a concert hosted by Kiss FM and yours truly, Boise Weekly, at Lucky Dog. Show starts at 9 p.m., and tickets cost $10 unless you purchased a $15 Pride Pack. —BW Staff

10 | JUNE 17–23, 2015 | BOISEweekly

On Halloween night 1955, a disaster was quietly touched off in Boise. Following an investigation by a private detective, three men were arrested on charges of having sex with teenage boys. The accused were a familiar Main Street shoeshine man, a warehouse worker and a salesman at Boise’s most high-profile clothing shop. The arrests were reported in the Idaho Statesman two days later. By Nov. 3, panic set in. “Crush the monster,” the Statesman editorial board demanded in the first of a series of increasingly hysterical statements, fanning the flames of a public crackdown that would come to include not only those alleged to have had sex with underage teens but also any men shown to be—or suspected of being—gay. It was the beginning of what would come to be known as the “Boys of Boise” scandal, a witch hunt that resulted in a wave of arrests and a climate of fear that would suppress gay culture in Boise for more than a decade. “It was a collective trauma for the city of Boise,” said Alan Virta, retired archivist at Boise State University. “It was on par with an earthquake or a flood or something like that. You didn’t have the physical damage, but the psychological damage was just immense. The devastation to a lot of individual lives was immense.” Now, as the 60th anniversary of the Boys of Boise arrests approaches and the city gears up for its 25th annual Pride celebration June 17-June 20, Virta said the changes in Boise’s and the nation’s attitude is immeasurable. “It’s immense. Just immense,” he said. “The whole idea of gay pride festivals in the middle of the downtown area for a weekend is just something that couldn’t be conceived of in 1955. The acceptance of gay people, particularly in the city of Boise—perhaps not the rest of the state, but the city of Boise, where the City Council is willing to pass a non-discrimination ordinance—it’s just an immense change. It would be unrecognizable to people in 1955. Certainly to the gay people.” For people in 1955, the months between Oct. 31 and Jan. 7, 1956 were ones of fear. During that time, a total of 16 men faced charges, some of which were lewd conduct with a minor, lewd and lascivious conduct, and “infamous crimes

Much of the hysteria that fueled the Boys of Boise scandal came from newspaper coverage. The crackdown was chronicled in the 1966 book Boys of Boise and 2006 documentary ﬁlm, The Fall of ’55.

against nature.” All but one were convicted. Four received probation but 11 received prison sentences ranging from six months to 15 years. The suppression fit the spirit of the time, as Americans were fed a steady diet of paranoia over Communism and juvenile delinquency. According to Virta, who helped build the “Gay Life” historical collection at Boise State’s Albertsons Library, the Boys of Boise fed on both moral panics. “It combined the other two because homosexuals, on the one hand, were considered security threats in the federal government for 10 years already by 1955,” he said. “It wasn’t that homosexuals were necessarily communists, but they were prone to be blackmailed, so that’s why it was dangerous for them to be in government positions. [On the other hand, the arrests] started out involving juveniles—they were older teenagers but they were still minors. That, of course, you play into the juvenile delinquency thing.” At its base, however, was the belief that homosexuality itself was being “harbored” in the community “to ravage our youth,” as the Statesman editorial page put it. Other communities suffered similar episodes of anti-gay prosecutions, but Boise was different. “It did sort of morph into people who were fully consenting adults,” Virta said. “It kind of became an overall movement against gays in general, as opposed to narrowed down to the youth situation.” The scars left by the arrests lingered. Boise had a population of only about 40,000 in 1955—it was a tight-knit small town that over the course of only a few months turned on itself, eventually drawing in influential people and their families. When the scandal subsided, Boise was a changed place. “It certainly put a chill on gay people, that’s for sure,” Virta said. “I think it did have an effect of quashing any sort of gay emergence that might have maybe come about in the ’60s, like it started to in other parts of the country,” he added. “It

delayed it for maybe at least a decade, until Seattle and San Francisco really took off and gay people here got to see how other people were living.” Today, Boise’s LGBT community lives up to its name—something that wouldn’t have been true 40, and certainly 60, years ago. “Back then, it was pretty much gay individuals and there wasn’t too much community,” Virta said. “Some of them knew each other, but you had no institutional support systems. You didn’t have gay bars, you didn’t have gay organizations, you didn’t have gay clubs and things like that.” As the community was fragmented, so too was the public’s perception of the Boys of Boise—the term wasn’t even coined until 11 years later, with the publication of John Gerassi’s book The Boys of Boise: Furor, Vice and Folly in an American City. As a unified event, the arrests have become a construct of recollection. “When it was happening, I don’t know if you had the understanding of the collective phenomenon that was going on that you did with the hindsight of looking back,” Virta said. It’s a phenomenon that many would still like to forget. Even in 2006, with the release of the documentary by Seth Randal, Fall of ’55, which Virta served as historical consultant, “there were people who said, ‘Why do you want to dredge this stuff again,” Virta said. Looking back on 60 years of change, Virta added that much of the impetus has come incrementally, person by person. “I think the most important thing is individual people coming out,” he said. “Probably in the 1950s, I’d guess most people in Boise would say they didn’t know a homosexual, whereas today, can you find anybody who doesn’t know a gay person or have a gay person in their family or see gay people on a daily basis? Familiarity breeds perhaps acceptance, toleration.” That fits with Boise Pridefest, Virta said. “Part of the idea of Pride was to say, ‘Hey, we’re out here… Learn to live with us.’” BOISE WEEKLY.COM

From singer Jenni Charles’ sweet vibrato to the breakneck intros from rhythm guitarist Jesse Dunn, this ﬁve-piece ensemble transcends the expectations of Americana by incorporating musical and stylistic elements from many genres, including grunge and progressive bluegrass. “We are looking for that shared experience. Whether we’re playing for ﬁve people or 5,000, we’re just looking for that giveand-take relationship with the crowd,” Dunn told Boise Weekly.

LEAP OF FATE

MAGNOLIA PICTURES

SCREEN Sunshine Superman chronicles the rise and fall of BASE jump legend GEORGE PRENTICE Last September at the Toronto International Film Festival, I saw the premiere of Sunshine Superman, an extraordinary documentary on the phenomenon known as BASE (building, antenna, span, earth) jumping, which will open in Boise on Friday, June 19. As I was exiting the film, I told a fellow critic that witnessing daredevils leap into a canyon was not an uncommon experience in my home state of Idaho. “That’s insane,” my fellow filmgoer retorted when I said the city of Twin Falls not only didn’t prosecute such behavior but, in fact, revJean and Carl Boenish in Sunshine Superman, a Magnolia Pictures release opening Friday, June 19 at The Flicks. eled in it as a tourist attraction. “You really have to see it for yourself,” I said.

BOOZEHOUND IDAHO POTATO VODKAS

44 NORTH IDAHO POTATO VODKA, $24.95 Distilled in Rigby with Idaho Burbank and Russet potatoes using a five-column distillation process, 44 North’s Idaho Potato Vodka is dreamily smooth. With not much happening on the nose, this vodka blooms on the palate with hints of citrus peel before finishing with a pleasant creaminess. While one taster praised its “dangerous chuggability,” another proclaimed, “This is exactly what vodka should be.” KOENIG FAMOUS IDAHO POTATO VODKA, $19.95 Crafted one batch at a time in handhammered copper pot stills in Caldwell, Koenig’s potato vodka has a more pronounced heat on the nose than 44 North. It also has a notable earthiness on the palate and a thick, creamy texture with lingering burn on the finish. One taster compared it to a “potato brandy,” but added that “more complexity isn’t necessarily better in vodka.” GRAND TETON POTATO VODKA, $19.95 Grand Teton’s Potato Vodka is “distilled the equivalent of 20 times” then “proofed with pure mountain water and polished with charcoal and garnet crystal.” That extra effort didn’t win over our panel. With a sweet, slightly chemical nose that reminded one taster of a laundromat, it has a rough burn that fades into notes of lavender and lilac on the mid-palate before the burn returns. As one taster said: “My lips feel drunk.” —Tara Morgan 24 | JUNE 17–23, 2015 | BOISEweekly

Vodka can be distilled from pretty much anything starchy: wheat, rye, barley, potatoes, even quinoa. Potato vodkas, in particular, are renowned for their viscous, creamy mouth feel. It should come as no surprise that the Potato State crafts some ﬁne vodkas. Here’s a look at three silky sips made from spuds in Idaho.

CASANOVA MOUNTS A COMEBACK

Plus The Bench, Prost! Boise and Al-Sham open TARA MORGAN After a decade in business, Casanova Pizzeria at 1204 S. Vista Ave. shut its doors on Valentine’s Day 2015. According to owner Dan Guild, the landlord wouldn’t renew the restaurant’s lease. But fans of Casanova’s arugulatopped Juno pizza and fig-laden Medusa pie are in luck: Guild hopes to be back in business as soon as possible. “We’re just looking for a new location and we haven’t found one yet,” said Guild. “We’re working with a realtor right now and just basically trying to find the right spot.” Guild said he’s on the hunt for “something a little bigger” with “a little better parking” and recently got in touch with the people working to open the Reserve Street Armory. “They’re pretty excited to hear that I was interested in moving into the neighborhood,” said Guild. “They’re looking to put maybe a brewery in there, maybe a restaurant.” Wherever Casanova ends up, Guild said his priority for the new location is stability. “We opened that place [on Vista] and put tons of money into it and then basically we have to kind of start over again and do the same thing again in that next space,” said Guild. “We want to do it right this time, so we’re looking to maybe buy a property so we don’t have to deal with a landlord. It’s just taking a little longer because we don’t want to be uprooted so quickly.” Meanwhile, building owner Tom Allegrezza is in the process of opening a pizza joint in Casanova’s former location called Orbit Fire Pizzeria. Allegrezza didn’t return calls for comment, but according to documents filed with the city of Boise, the building is currently undergoing a $22,500 renovation that includes removing some interior walls to increase the dining area and installing a new kitchen. No word yet on an opening date. In other Bench opening news, a new pub called The Bench Neighborhood Bar recently opened next to BBQ4LIFE in the Vista Village Shopping Center. The straightforward name is an apt descriptor of the simple space: The tiny pub features a long rectangular bar, a few high tables and a couple of TVs playing sports at low volume. There’s no cocktail menu or craft beer list,

Prost! Boise bartender (or Barmann) Adam Poulsen is here to help you get your Getränk on.

but The Bench does offer six beers on tap, including Payette’s North Fork Lager, Deschutes’ Black Butte Porter and Sockeye’s Angel’s Perch Amber. The spot also serves liquor but only has a few bottles stocked on its shelves, including Crown Royal, Pendleton and Jameson. Happy hour runs seven days a week from 3-7 p.m. Wells are $3, domestics are $2.75 and micros are $3.25. In other pub opening news, Prost! Boise is now slinging steins at 274 Eighth St. The German beer bar features a front patio dotted with red umbrellas and wooden picnic tables. Inside, the small wood-adorned space boasts a long bar with stool seating and a few more picnic tables. Prost! patrons can sip on 1-liter and 0.5-liter steins of German beer, including classics like Bitburger Pils and Hofbrau Original, along with less familiar brews like Ayinger Celebrator and Grevensteiner. The pub also has some interesting items on its menu, including braunschweiger—described as a classic German pate with toasted rye, stone ground mustard and Granny Smith apple slices—and German sausage like knackwurst, jagdwurst, bratwurst, cervelat and weisswurst. According to the menu, some of the sausages are sourced from Bavarian Meats in Seattle, where Prost! Boise’s parent company, Prost German Pubs, is based. In other meaty news, Pigapalooza was cancelled, but organizers are hoping to reschedule. The pork party was slated to go down June 13 in the parking lot across the street from Grind Modern Burger, with a barbecue competition, samples and beer from PostModern Brewers.

Grind’s Rick Boyd said event organizer Tatiana Martz had trouble booking enough cookers for the event. “She was having difficulty lining up enough barbecue vendors because there were so many other competing events going on that weekend around the state,” said Boyd. Pigapalooza organizers had hoped to round up at least 10 vendors but only managed to secure three. Boyd said they’re hoping to find another “empty window in a pretty crowded summer” to hold Pigapalooza. “We’re hoping to move it to another date; [Martz] hasn’t picked a date yet,” said Boyd. “She’s still looking at the calendar and finding what fits and having conversations with some of the vendors that wanted to do it but couldn’t because of previous commitments.” In other opening news, Al-Sham Arabic Food is now open in the space that formerly housed Amir Mediterranean Food and Bakery at 201 W. Boise Ave. According to an employee, Al-Sham took over the space in early April when former Amir owner Luay Kayyali moved to California. The restaurant’s menu is handwritten in Arabic and English on manila file folders stapled to the wall. For $15, you can get a beef kebab, beef shakaf or shish taouk with salad. The spot also sells a shawarma sandwich for $6 or shawarma in a box for $13. The small space boasts a few modest tables and coolers stocked with desserts, various sodas and fruit drinks. If you’d prefer to eat your kebab in a fancier booth, you can order at the counter and grab a seat in the adjoining restaurant space. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

LILY You’re kayaking down roaring Class V rapids on the Payette River. Or you’re shredding the slopes of Grand Targhee on a sick powder day. Or you’re just about to reach the top of the crux on the hardest pitch of El Capitan. Your hands are sweating. Your muscles are burning. But none of it really counts unless you post it on Facebook afterward. Meet Lily. Lily is the first point-and-shoot camera built into a drone, so it can follow you and record your adventures. Just turn on the tracking device—about the size of a watch—and toss the little drone into the air. Lily has 20 minutes of flight time in which you can program her to lily.camera, $999 fly behind, in front of or loop around you. She can capture HD video at 1080p and 12-megapixel stills, perfect for your next Banff Film Festival submission. The body of the drone is waterproof, light and compact enough to throw in a backpack. Lily can float and she can withstand wind speeds of 20 miles per hour. She doesn’t, however, have obstacle avoidance capabilities, so don’t take her tree skiing. You can preorder Lily now. She won’t ship until February 2016, which is plenty of time to save up (she costs nearly $1,000) and get dangerously good at an extreme sport worth showing off. —Jessica Murri BOISE WEEKLY.COM

PETS BW PETS STANDARD POODLE NEEDS A HOME Great dog. Doesn’t bark, very smart. I have to move & can no longer keep my dog. Please, call 342-1899. Thanks.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Would you like to stop pushing and struggling for a while? Is there a clenched attitude you would love to let go of? Do you wish you could take a break from having to give so much and try so hard and be so strong? Then do it! Now would be a good time to take a sabbatical from any situation that feels too demanding or frustrating. You wouldn’t incur the wrath of the gods or the twists of karma if you sneaked away to indulge in some recreational frivolity. For the foreseeable future, “relax” and “surrender” are your words of power. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Theologian Karl Barth speculated that when the angels get together to praise and honor God with music, they perform the compositions of Bach. But when they are playing for each other, they are more likely to choose Mozart. I guess that’s because Mozart’s stuff is loose and free and inventive compared to Bach, who is formal and sober and systematic. Mozart is more for parties while Bach is for serious occasions. I’m seeing the coming days as a time when you, like the angels, should be especially willing to express yourself in very different ways, depending on the audience. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Before E. Annie Proulx became a Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist, she

wrote a series of how-to books, including a dairy foods cookbook and an instructional text on making your own hard cider. But the manual of hers that I especially want to call your attention to right now is Plan and Make Your Own Fences & Gates, Walkways, Walls & Drives. It might be inspirational for you to read it. You’re in a phase when it makes perfect sense to create new paths for yourself to travel on. This will allow you to forgo at least some of the paths that others have built and that can’t actually take you where you need to go. CANCER (June 21-July 22): I’m getting itchy to see you blow your own cover. I would love you to come all the way out of your hiding place, even if just for a while, and see what happens if you make full disclosures and brave displays. My hope is that you will close the gap between the real you and the images that people have of you. Does that sound interesting? Or have you become so fond of being a big riddle that you can’t imagine any other way to be? Maybe I can tempt you to be more self-revelatory if I add this: Taking your disguises off even briefly will enable you to discover intriguing secrets about yourself. And then once you put your disguises back on, you will seem more mysterious than ever. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A new cycle will begin for you after

28 | JUNE 17–23, 2015 | BOISEweekly

your birthday. Between now and then you will be wrapping up the current cycle. I invite you to do so with a flourish. Don’t just wait around passively for the themes of the last 11 months to fade away or go to sleep. Instead, set an intention to bring them to a climactic close. Schedule a splashy graduation or a grand finale. Plan a cathartic party or a celebratory rite of passage. Take a playful leap of faith or try that magic trick you’ve been saving for the perfect moment. Or all of the above! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “I’m tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin deep,” said author Jean Kerr. “That’s deep enough. What do you want, an adorable pancreas?” In accordance with the current astrological omens, Virgo, you should feel free to play around with that impish idea. Just for now, appreciate and enjoy the surfaces of things. Make decisions based on first impressions and instant analyses. Give your attention and energy to what looks appealing to you, and don’t think too hard about stuff that presents a boring appearance. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Now is a favorable time to wish upon a star. In other words, you can enhance the likelihood that your wish will come true if you choose this phase of your cycle to enlist the assistance of a higher

power. It’s your duty to make sure, however, that you wish upon the right star. Pick a higher power that can truly help you with your wish, not necessarily one that has worked for other people’s wishes. Here’s another crucial detail: Be precise in formulating your wish. No foggy thinking or sloppy language allowed! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If you are fully committed to being both honest and kind, you will have more power to heal other people than you’ve had in a long time. You will have a resemblance to a magic potion or a wonder drug. Here’s a caveat, however: The therapeutic influence you have to offer might be scary to those who aren’t ready to be cured. The solutions you propose could be disruptive to anyone who is addicted to his or her problems. That’s why I advise you to be discerning about how you share yourself. P.S. The medicine you are generating is not too potent for your own use. It’s exactly what you need to transform limitation into liberation. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Each of us has at least one pesky ghost or nagging demon that occupies a dark corner of our psyches. It may have been there for years, or we might have picked it up more recently during a phase of temporary insanity. In any case, most of us can benefit from con-

ducting a periodic banishing ritual. Now would be prime time for you to do just that. Ready? With your imagination, draw a clockwise circle of your favorite-colored light on the floor or ground. Next, identify an image that makes you feel happy and safe, and visualize four versions of it at the four cardinal points, hovering three feet above your circle. Then say this: “I dissolve any hex and banish any pest that has been draining my energy. I purge any wasteful emotions, unsound ideas, and trivial desires that I may have grown attached to.” To put the seal on your magic, laugh for two minutes. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): By my estimation, 97 percent of the population is chronically starving for the pleasure of being listened to with deep empathy and focused intelligence. Very few of us enjoy the prolonged and undivided attention of a receptive ally on a regular basis. It’s rare to be in the presence of a person whose sole agenda is to be innocently curious about you. Your assignment, Capricorn, is to go on a quest to remedy this shortfall. Figure out how you can get the skillful listening you’re missing. (P.S. One way to prime the magic is to offer yourself up as a skillful listener to others.) AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): At this year’s Grammy Awards ceremony, British singer Sam Smith

won in four categories. His tune “Stay with Me” was named song of the year. In one of his acceptance speeches, Smith expressed appreciation for the difficult muse who inspired the song. “I want to thank the man who this record is about, who I fell in love with last year,” he said. “Thank you so much for breaking my heart, because you got me four Grammys.” I invite you to come up with a comparable expression of gratitude, Aquarius. What experience that seemed like tough luck at the time has actually turned out to be a blessing? Now would be a perfect time to acknowledge and relish and make full use of the unexpected grace. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The Bay of Fundy is a branch of the Atlantic Ocean between the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. It’s renowned for its tidal range. When high tide comes, the water may be as much as 53 feet higher than what it is at low tide. The shift back and forth happens twice a day. I’m wondering if in the coming weeks your emotional ebb and flow will have a similar variability. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you could experience both very high highs and very deep depths. Please note that when I say “depths,” I don’t mean sadness or despair. Rather, I’m talking about a profound ability to feel your way into the heart of things. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

lowing information concerns rights and procedures that relate to this proceeding for the termination of custody and control of said minor as set forth in Family Code Section 7860 et seq.: 1. At the beginning of the proceeding the court will consider whether or not the interests of the minor child require the appointment of counsel. If the court ﬁnds that the interests of the minor do require such protection, the court will appoint counsel to represent him, whether or not he is able to afford counsel. The minor will not be present in court unless he requests or the court so orders. 2. If a parent of the minor appears without counsel and is unable to afford counsel, the court must appoint counsel for the parent, unless the parent knowingly and intelligently waives the right to be represented by counsel. The court will not appoint the same counsel to represent both the minor and his parent. 3. The court may appoint either the public defender or private counsel. If private counsel is appointed, he or she will receive a reasonable sum for compensation and expenses, the amount of which will be determined by the court. The amount must be paid by the real parties in interest, but not by the minor, in such proportions as the court believes to be just. If, however, the court ﬁnds that any of the real parties in interest cannot afford counsel, the amount will be paid by the county. 4. The court may continue the proceeding for not more than thirty (30) days as necessary to appoint counsel to become acquainted with the case. Date: JAN 16 2015 PUB June 10,17,24 and July 1, 2015.

Dear Minerva, I’m wondering how to escape the “Seven Year Itch” and not having feelings leaning towards inﬁdelity. I love my partner, but I want to be pursued and fawned over. I tried to communicate this with my partner, but my desires were promptly dismissed. I don’t want to look elsewhere for attention, but I want attention. Help! —Monogamy Monotony

3. Sweden: $151, down 19 percent 4. Norway: $173, down 17 percent

Dear Monotony, Sugar, you sound thirsty. Attention is lovely to receive, isn’t it? You know what is even better? Giving it to someone you love. Since your partner seems averse to the idea of showering you with the attention you seek, shower your partner with the kind of attention you desire. Lead by example. Everyone wants to feel desired and adored. Also, look at all the small things your partner may already be doing to show you attention, like a hand subtly running across your back or the way they take care of things when you have a bad day. Maybe it’s in the way they hold you at night or the decision to commit to a life together. If you think about building a life as a daily, ongoing pursuit, I think you will ﬁnd the magic within. The devil is in the details, but sometimes, so is heaven. Don’t throw out the gold in search of a little glitter.
