EDITOR’S NOTE SHADES OF MEANING This week we are publishing the winners of our 13th Annual Black-and-White Photo Contest on Page 10. As we were looking through the photos, considering “black” and “white” through the lens of art, the concept of color was dominating the national conversation in more dire ways. First it was the case of Rachel Dolezal, the former chapter president of the Spokane, Wash., NAACP. On the day her monthly column appeared in the Pacific Northwest Inlander (“Forever Free: How 150 years of freedom from slavery affects all Americans,” June 11, 2015), the Coeur d’Alene Press published a bombshell article in which it came to light that Dolezal had been maintaining an elaborate charade for at least a decade: The firebrand civil rights activist and self-identified black mother was actually a white woman from Troy, Mont. Her mask fell quickly in the glare of the media spotlight. Beyond the spectacle, her deception seemed for a moment to open the way toward a deeper reckoning with how we define and interact with race. That conversation was snuffed out on June 17 with the deaths of nine people at a historic black church in Charleston, S.C. The alleged gunman, a 21-year-old white man with clear white supremacist beliefs, spent an hour at a prayer meeting in the Emanuel AME Church before rising to open fire. Now an old debate has been given new vigor: Whether the “Stars and Bars” of the former Confederacy has a place on flagpoles in the country it sought to break from. Weighing heritage against history, the Southern battle flag is either a symbol of remembrance or a racist dog whistle. In this increasingly tragic national conversation, some things are black-and-white and others are not. With a spirit of healing, both black and white congregants at Boise’s St. Paul Baptist Church gathered on June 21 to pray not only for the victims of the Emanuel AME shootings but also the alleged perpetrator. If even in a small, coincidental way, it seems appropriate this week to point out that in life, as in art, the world is made richer by a balance and blending of what we might otherwise consider binary. —Zach Hagadone

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

OPINION DUGGARING OUR OWN GRAVE Too damn many and counting BILL COPE Jim Bob Duggar was born in July 1965. Michelle came along 14 months later—September 1966. They were married in July 1984. At the nuptials, he was three days shy of 19 and she was two months from 18. Pretty young, by my standards. But this is Arkansas, after all. During the following 31 years, Jim and Michelle have replicated themselves nine-andone-half times. With modern fertility medicine finding new ways to enable heretofore unlikely pregnancies, who knows how far the Duggars could go? As of this moment, having just watched the world population clock turn over to 7,248,735,000, we can calculate that the Duggar family (not counting grandkids) is a piddling 0.0000000029 of the planet’s tally of human beings, as that number stands at 9 a.m., June 9, 2015, estimated by the United States Census Bureau. However, if every one of the Duggar children were to emulate Ma and Pa and pump out progeny at the same rate, within five generations, the combined Duggar count would be approximately twice the number of people now living in Idaho, and in one more generation, they would be approaching 50 million, or the populations of today’s Australia and Angola combined. After a seventh generation, or about 140 years, of such rabbit-y reproduction—assuming the nonDuggar portion of the world’s population were to stabilize—almost one out of every seven people on Earth would be a Duggar. Of course, if the non-Duggar portion of the world’s population doesn’t stabilize, it’s likely that in 140 years we won’t have to worry about it anyway. Seriously, among all the various hypotheses available on what might be the primary cause of a collapse of civilization—from Biblical Armageddon to zombie apocalypse—I personally rank exponential population growth among the top contenders. In the event such a species-threatening catastrophe should occur, it might even end up being called “The Duggar Inevitability.” I remind you that the preceding projections were calculated on the “base-19” model. It does not consider further advances in fertility science and the prospect of women being enabled to become safely pregnant well into their 70s. Nor does it consider a shift in what we presently think of as a reasonable age of consent. Given some of the bizarre theologies around, it takes little imagination to picture the ascendency of some radically patriarchal religious ideology that would encourage males to acquire younger and younger mates, to the point where a future Michelle Duggar getting hitched at 17 would make her one of the old ladies at the altar. As a result, my calculations could be grossly BOISE WEEKLY.COM

off, as there is every possibility that families to come might be going for new records, particularly if there’s a reality show in the offing. Twentyfive kids, 28 kids... 30 kids! Think about it: In a 60-year span between pubescent 14 and medical miracle 74, 30 pregnancies is only one every two years. Michelle Duggar, at 19 in 31 years, is already way ahead of that pace. ••• There is another hypothesis with which the Duggar phenomenon might be even more illuminating. To my knowledge, it has never been tested with humans, but over the years, there have been scads of studies examining the deleterious behavioral effects of cramming too many animals into close quarters with one another—zoos and feedlots and rodent populations, for instance, where the poor beasts start to exhibit behavior never seen when they are living in proper balance with nature. I am one who believes that simply because a creature has evolved opposable thumbs and self-awareness, and can make a living by doing something unusual on a television show— reproduce at an alarming rate, for instance—it is not immune to the same psychological aberrations that we see in less well-connected animals, like farmed fish, lemmings and sewer rats. We have to wonder whether Duggar first-born Josh wasn’t somewhat twisted, and at an early age, into doing things he would never have considered doing had not he come to view female flesh as little more than an infant-producing machine. Or that, following his parents’ examples, this activity was somehow the path to success. As to the parents themselves, we must ask if they have always held the creepy and cultish religious convictions that led them to consider an un-pregnant woman to be a waste of a perfectly good uterus, or if they came later to such a ridiculous concept of spirituality, simply because after 10 or 15 kids, they were far too addled to keep a logical, mature thought in their heads. It’s possible, I suppose, they simply grabbed at this abnormal theology, which holds that it is God’s call when a woman’s body is through producing offspring, simply as a justification for their insane and selfish family expansion marathon. Yet I can’t help but feel anybody with an undeviated psyche in his head would ever swallow such a pious line of pure hooey. So, as the general population continues to increase, is this what we are to expect?... increased levels of deviant and irrational behavior? Incidentally, in the six days between starting this column and submitting it, there have been 1,270,350 new humans added to Earth’s surface. BOISEweekly | JUNE 24–30, 2015 | 5

OPINION THE CONFIDENCE DEMON And other creatures of the literary dark JOHN REMBER When do you know that you’re a good writer? When do you know that you can relax, secure that when you put words on paper they will be worth your readers’ attention? When can you stop listening to that small, still voice that suggests you give up writing as a bad deal and satisfy your artistic hunger by gluing small pewter figurines and tree moss to pieces of driftwood? As far as I know, never. The blank screen looks the same, no matter how much you’ve published and how many times you’ve read your work to conference applause. If you’ve achieved fame and fortune with your first book, you’ll feel in your soul that subsequent books need to be better. If your subsequent books are better, you’ll start worrying about the inevitable minor work that will mark the inexorable decline of your talent. It’s a darker version of the actor’s nightmare. You’re onstage but you don’t know what play you’re in. You need to entertain the audience with a brilliant performance, and you haven’t yet written your lines. Restless people are waiting out beyond the curtain, and it’s rising. Every writer I know worries about these things. What looks like confidence in a lot of accomplished writers is a bravado easily punctured by a raised eyebrow, an unkind word or an Amazon review that suggests your work combines mediocre intelligence with genius-level pretension. When a manuscript that’s taken years of your life is rejected by an agent or publisher, it’s even worse. If you’re actually trying to make a living writing, supporting small, trusting children and a long-suffering spouse who once loved and believed in you, the pressure requires metaphors involving fusion reactions at the centers of stars. It could be worse. The advance for the book you haven’t written could have been spent on friends who disappeared once the private dancers went home and the gin and cocaine ran out. I’ve probably disappointed those of you who depend on this column for a once-a-week reduction in artistic anxiety—as when the other small still voice asks, “If Rember can do it, how hard can it be?” So a little damage control is in order: Item: You don’t need confidence to be a writer. You need the ability to put in an hour or three every day in a chair, with your hands on a keyboard and the willingness to put down something, anything, even if it’s wrong. What looks like confidence in many successful writers is a willingness to dance and clown and laugh in the face of more-or-less certain failure. Writers are not homo sapiens, or they wouldn’t be writers. They are homo ludens, “man the player.” Item: Knowing your audience and your characters, and having a passion for the story can 6 | JUNE 24–30, 2015 | BOISEweekly

make confidence irrelevant. They allow you to climb out of the fetid swamp of self-obsession. Item: Finding your True Subject makes things a lot easier. Much has been written on the True Subject, so much that it’s tempting to assume that there are as many true subjects as there are writers. That doesn’t mean they’re easy to find. In my experience, you can’t find yours without a deep and brutal honesty about what you see when you look in the mirror, a willingness to stand in the shoes of people less articulate and less fortunate than you are, and courage enough to challenge the imperfections of this world. Item: We live in a hierarchy, and no matter how much lip service we pay to egalitarianism, once we get in a group we always ascertain who is above us and who is below us. For example, the first order of business of any newly-formed group is to establish a pecking order. Having led writing workshops for 30 years, I can say that this process leaves an unattractive soapy residue on writers after a workshop is over. It manifests as their willingness to spend lots of time defining themselves against other writers. It’s a terrible waste of creative energy, and tends to make you—and them—meaner and nastier over time. Workshops can teach a great deal, but sometimes they become prisons, with the emotional realities of prisons. A painful emotional freedom comes when you recognize that when you’re writing, you are not part of any group. You are alone. Really alone. If a workshop can sometimes be a prison, writing is always solitary confinement. The good news is that no one else can write what you can write because no one else knows what you, in your solitude, experience. Also, after a while you begin to hallucinate companions. These are better known as your characters. Item: 10 years from now you’ll be 10 years older. Twenty years from now you’ll be 20 years older, and so on. You can spend your time writing or not writing. You’ll still spend it, and when you’re done spending it, it will be gone. No saving dessert for later in these matters. Your legacy, even if it’s found scrawled on sticky notes in a dusty trunk in the attic, will either demonstrate that you lived, breathed, thought, laughed, cried, loved, felt anger and joy—in short, knew what it meant to be human in your place and time—or it will demonstrate that you didn’t. That’s the gentle pressure on the first word of your next sentence, and it requires no confidence at all. Adapted from John Rember’s MFA in a Box blog, mfainabox.com. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

ACHD memorial proposal turns heads

The Boise City Council takes up the long-debated St. Luke’s Master Plan on Tuesday, June 30.

HARRISON BERRY On a rainy early morning in September 2013, Gavin Haley struck and killed bicyclist Victor Haskell with his SUV near the corner of State and 30th streets, which was under construction at the time. Haley’s lawyer told jurors at his trial that he heard something hit his SUV but when he stopped his car and looked around, he couldn’t see Haskell in the dark and rainy conditions. His trial ended June 5 with a hung jury, unable to decide if Haley illegally left the scene of an accident or failed to call for help after hitting Haskell, who was found hours later in the construction zone. The scene looks different today. The construction has been replaced with a sidewalk and traffic signal. Two monuments stand as reminders that a tragedy took place there: a cross bearing Haskell’s name that has been attached to the signal pole, and a ghost bike installed by a coalition of Boise cycling groups. For Boise Bicycle Project Founder Jimmy Hallyburton, sites like these are part of a broader community discussion about the relationship between Boise’s motorists and bicyclists. “We [at BBP] think they’re an effective way of memorializing the people and saying, ‘Hey, people are dying on the streets,’” he said. A proposed rule change that will go before the Ada County Highway Commission Wednesday, July 8 would put memorial sites under the purview of ACHD. According to the proposal, which could be voted on as early as Wednesday, July 22, all roadside memorials within ACHD’s jurisdiction would be regulated by a licensure program that would distinguish between temporary memorials—which would be allowed to stand for a year and then removed—and permanent memorials erected by the deceased’s family members. As an alternative, memorialists could also ask ACHD for a pre-approved sign which would mark the spot where someone has died. Area cycling organizations have said that the proposed rule would remove memorials that have broad community significance, but ACHD told Boise Weekly that it would establish standards for roadside memorials that protect rights of way. “It will formalize a lot of what we’re doing now on an informal basis,” said ACHD spokesman Craig Quintana. “Now, we’re adding some more structure to that.” According to Quintana, the proposed rule originated when ACHD crews removed a roadside memorial dedicated to Olivia Schnacker, a BOISE WEEKLY.COM

THE JEFFERSON STREET DEBATE COMES TO A CROSSROADS

The ghost bike memorializing cyclist Victor Haskell has stood for almost two years near where he was struck and killed by an SUV in September 2013. The case against the motorist ended in a hung jury on June 5.

13-year-old girl who died two days after being struck by a car near the intersection of Ustick Road and Jullion Street in April 2014. Her memorial was elaborately maintained until its removal. Her parents decorated it with flowers and other embellishments to mark special occasions. At one point, the family added large red bows to the memorial, which ACHD determined were too close to a traffic signal for comfort. “That was a safety issue, and we’d worked with the family to make modifications, but there were complaints from the neighborhood,” Quintana said. “We took stuff out, but we failed to contact the Schnacker family, which caused a lot of heartache.” ACHD enlisted the Schnackers in a working group to help draft the roadside memorial rule, though members of the Schnacker family could not be reached for comment on this story. Quintana described the rule as “trying to hit the sweet spot between safety and sensitivity,” still, there are road users who dislike all roadside memorials. “If one of these things is done right, it’s a distraction,” said Julian Jenkins, who called ACHD during the public comment period on the rule. Jenkins lives near the intersection of Locust Grove Road and Pine Street, where there’s a roadside memorial he calls “an eyesore.” “I don’t think the side of the road is a place for a permanent memorial,” he said. Brenda Wood, office manager for Family Advocates, has a similar opinion. Family Advocates is located on State Street yards from Haskell’s ghost bike. Wood said she’s perplexed by the memorial. “I understand why they put them up, but what’s the meaning of it? There’s no real message of the ghost bikes that I see,” Wood said. “[The ghost bike] has outlasted its purpose.” The proposed rule comes at a sensitive moment in the relationship between ACHD and

Boise’s bicycling community. On June 15, Boise received a “silver” bicycle-friendliness rating from the League of American Bicyclists. Boise Mayor Dave Bieter has publicly said he believes the city deserves a “gold” rating, but Hallyburton said that Boise may have received a lower rating because of bicycle accidents and deaths. On June 18, Boise State University public affairs journal The Blue Review tallied 1,195 bicycle crashes in Ada County reported to the Idaho Transportation Department since 2007, including 11 fatalities. Some bike advocates are suspicious of the proposal. For one thing, memorials must be able to fit into a 36-inch by 36-inch by 36-inch cube—too small for many ghost bikes. For another, the proposed rule specifically identifies ghost bikes as “temporary” memorials that would ultimately be removed. Members of bicycling organizations, meanwhile, see the bikes as permanent. Lisa Brady, a member of both the Treasure Valley Cycling Alliance board and ACHD’s Bicycle Advisory Committee, has planned rides of silence for cyclists killed on the roads and helped install their ghost bikes. She said the plan to regulate roadside memorials is an affront. “I knew the policy was coming but I was surprised at how restrictive it was,” she said. “What hit me personally was that it could only be put up by the family of the victim.” For Brady, ghost bikes reflect the sometimes deadly relationship between motorists and cyclists. The rule, she said, renders cyclists’ side of that relationship invisible. Her qualm is that families aren’t always cognizant of the symbolic value of ghost bikes. Brady said if she were to suffer a fatal bike accident,“I would hope that my community would stand up and [memorialize me]. The family might not know to do it.”

Type “Bannock Plaza Boise” into Google and you’ll come up dry. Yet a colorful mailer from St. Luke’s Boise Medical Center asks neighbors to “Imagine the Possibilities.” “Our Bannock Plaza is an oasis on the edge of downtown Boise, a place of peace and calm,” reads the postcard, which invited the public to a June 18 open house to “learn more about our Boise campus plan.” For the record, “Bannock Plaza” is the name St. Luke’s has given the area it created when it successfully lobbied to close off Bannock Street in the 1990s. The postcard is filled with colorful photos of kids, some more kids and even a pony. But nowhere on the mailer is there any mention of the hospital’s master plan, which includes the controversial proposal to permanently close a section of Jefferson Street. The plan will be the main topic of what is expected to be a long City Hall public hearing set for Tuesday, June 30. The mailer may well be a direct response to some comments from Boise Mayor Dave Bieter in April, when he was asked about prior St. Luke’s public relations efforts regarding the master plan and proposed street closure. “I thought the public relations on this was awful, just awful,” Bieter said at an Andrus Center Politics for Lunch forum. According to Erik Kingston, certified professional community and economic developer and East End resident, much of St. Luke’s PR “has definitely had a chilling effect on open discussion on the real issues and impacts.” “You can’t make good PR out of poor planning,” Kingston told Boise Weekly. “Why are they spending a fortune on PR when they could hire the best hospital planner in the country.” When all the public relations and public comments are completed on June 30, the Boise City Council will need to make a Solomonlike decision: approve the St. Luke’s plan and tick off a good many neighbors, or deny the proposal and risk St. Luke’s taking some of its critical services to Meridian (which it has publicly threatened to do). “But you wouldn’t take a new drug without knowing the side effects,” said Kingston. “You wouldn’t undergo major surgery without seeking a second opinion. We don’t think that’s too much to ask.” —George Prentice BOISEweekly | JUNE 24–30, 2015 | 7

LEVI CAVENER

Teaching students with special needs and how Idaho charter schools can accommodate them HARRISON BERRY Teaching is a passion. Teaching students with disabilities is doubly so. Levi Cavener, an instructor at Vallivue High School in Caldwell, has been a special education instructor for five years. As an undergraduate at the University of Idaho, he spent time abroad through the Camp Adventure program, exploring Europe with children whose parents were serving in the military. One child lost a parent during Cavener’s time in the program and he described others as “genuinely alone,” not hearing from parents for weeks on end. Those experiences helped ignite his passion for education. Since then, Cavener has instructed children with special needs and circumstances. He is an advocate of ESL and minority students, students from low-income families, and students with cognitive impairments and traumatic brain injuries, which extends beyond the classroom. Cavener has published op-eds and analyses in local media pushing for Idaho charter school reform, and he’s the founder and editor of Idaho’s Promise, an unincorporated nonprofit that advocates for equitable education in Idaho’s public schools. Cavener took some time away from educating kids to educate Boise Weekly on charter schools and the struggle for equitable access to schooling. We have speciﬁc benchmarks for general education kids. Are there similar benchmarks for special ed kids? Every kid is on something called an “individualized education plan.” Every kiddo is unique, so every kid’s going to get something kind of different. In addition to that, the bulk of special kids are also required to take the statewide exams,

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

You wrote an op-ed for the Idaho Statesman discussing what could be termed the “blind spots” of our charter school system. I was worried that charter schools weren’t providing the services that they should be. So I put in a Freedom of Information [Act] request, and I got back the data, and it became very apparent that if you compare the population of a charter school to the surrounding school district that it operates out of, there was a wild disparity in minority populations. If you take those statistics and put them side by side with charters, almost without exception these kids are left out of these schools. Why do you think that’s the case? What’s supposed to happen for a charter that has more applications than seats available is that you conduct a lottery. Theoretically, if your lottery was demographically representative, you would have a demographically representative population; but preferences can be given to kids of founders of the school, children of employees working at the school, if a student already has a sibling at the school, and any student who has attended a charter school before. If you have teachers and staff who are overwhelmingly white, by the time you get through the founders and kids of teachers, you’re going to replicate that same incoming class—fairly white, English speaking.

Unequal lotteries can’t be the whole story. Charters don’t have to offer transportation. So which now is the SBAC/ISAT 2.0 [State Balanced especially if you’re a low-income family, maybe Assessment Consortium/Idaho Standards Achieve- have a free or reduced-lunch student, the odds ment Test] and you can imagine kids with disabili- of you actually having a choice to attend that charter vanish pretty quickly. On a similar note, ties having some frustrations taking that exam. charter schools are not required to offer free and Earlier, when the tiered licensure stuff was still in reduced-lunch programs. If you’re a low-income the works, there was an attempt to merge teacher family relying on the free and reduced-price lunch certification with student test scores, which, for a program, you probably aren’t going to enroll your special educator, is, like, a nightmare.

kid because those services are going to disappear. What about services inside the classroom? We aren’t creating true services for minority instruction—that would include a bona fide special ed teacher, school psychologist, speech pathologist—all those special services that should be in a school to help those kids with special needs. Largely, those services are absent from the charter school or the charter school contracts with surrounding districts to provide them. In my opinion, that results in bringing a special ed teacher to come over and do paperwork compliance. How does this aﬀect conventional schools? When a charter doesn’t share an equitable burden of minority students and having to provide those minority programs, and the local school district has the disproportionate burden of providing services to those students, the local school district raises a levy, which means that property owners are being taxed inequitably because a charter isn’t providing an equitable portion of those services. On May 18, Centro de Comunidad y Justicia ﬁled a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education along those lines. What was your involvement in that complaint? I had shown them some of the data I had got myself. They were flabbergasted. These are public schools: These are schools that your tax dollars and my tax dollars pay for. The complaint makes a list of demands. Can you comment on those? The two biggest things that charter schools can immediately do to be more inclusive is make sure they make transportation available for their students, particularly for low-income students. Along that same line, all charter schools need to be offering free and reduced-cost lunches. If they don’t do that, you’re effectively excluding that population from your school. They also call for a report on student demographic data. This is the first time in the Idaho Public Charter School Commission’s history that it has delivered an annual report. Let’s make policy decisions based on logic.

13TH ANNUAL

BLACK & WHITE PHOTO CONTEST

The Boise Weekly Black-and-White Photo Contest is a teenager. Now in its 13th year, it has learned sarcasm and how to be self-referential. In short, it’s beginning to show signs of becoming an adult. This year, BW received 110 entries, which were judged by professional photographers Patrick Sweeney, Laurie Pearman-Ricci and Levi Bettweiser, as well as BW Art Director Kelsey Hawes and yours truly, Harrison Berry. The panel considered the photos’ compositional merits, subjects and overall pizzazz when selecting winners in three categories: People, Places and Things. In a nod to self-referentiality, this isn’t the only place in this week’s edition of BW where you’ll ﬁnd photography—or some of this year’s contest judges. This week’s arts and culture feature on Page 26 tackles an exhibition of photographs hanging at Boise Art Museum by Group f/64, an early-20th century community of artists whose work leveraged extreme technical prowess to achieve what they called “pure photography,” deﬁned as “possessing no qualities of technique, composition or idea, derivative of any other art form,” according to the group’s 1932 manifesto, and we channeled Group f/64’s philosophy as a guide to judging this year’s Black-and-White Photo Contest. As always, BW extends a hearty thanks to all those who submitted their work to the contest. Every year it’s a fresh pleasure to experience the world through your eyes. —Harrison Berry

YOGA ON THE MOUNTAIN

BOISE’S FUNNIEST PERSON 2015 KICK-OFF

EDDIE IZZARD

Practicing yoga indoors can’t begin to compete with practicing outside, where the grass is soft under your mat, the breeze brushes against your face and the sunlight warms your shoulders. Yoga on the Mountain provides the perfect venue for peace and inner reﬂection. The day begins at the Bogus Basin amphitheater with a 90-minute class taught by Marcy Midnight, Celeste Bolin and Jodeen Revere of Sage Yoga and Wellness, while Radio Boise DJ Psycache Ziran spins tunes in the background. Yogis then have the opportunity to hike around Bogus Basin before taking part in a 30-minute meditation at the top of the Deer Point chairlift, complete with a 360-degree view of the mountains, valley and sky. Proceeds support Nepal’s earthquake recovery. 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m., $35 in adv., $40. Bogus Basin, yogaonthemountain.brownpapertickets.com.

What did the grape do when he got stepped on? He let out a little wine. OK, so we won’t be competing for the title of Boise’s Funniest Person 2015 but at the ﬁrst-ever BFP Kick-Off Party, you can meet the 20 people (and their comedy mentors) who will. This all-ages party at Grind Modern Burger, is a big win, not just for the aspirants: Everyone gets a free rafﬂe ticket to win four-week VIP passes to BFP 2015; gift cards and show tickets from Liquid; gift cards from Grind; and items from Azure Salon, The Beardsmith and the Support Idaho Comedians Foundation. Grind will also design a special BFP burger and donate $2 from each one purchased to SICF. Finally, BFP 2013 runner-up and this year’s host, Alisha Donahue, will join 2014 winner Kaz Gable and a handful of other local jokesters to provide entertainment. 7:30-9:30 p.m. FREE. Grind, 705 W.

Vancouver, B.C.-based folk band The Clumsy Lovers kicks off its 2015 summer tour at Alive After Five on Wednesday, June 24. The band has twice been awarded the Indie Acoustic Music Awards’ CD of the Year and been nominated for numerous honors from the West Coast Music Awards and Canadian Folk Music Awards. This ﬁddle and banjo-fueled bluegrass-Celtic rock group is ﬁrst and foremost a live band, with more than 2,500 performances under its members’ collective belt. They’ll add to that list with a full lineup of shows this summer in Idaho, Montana and Washington, where they’ll likely play to packed audiences of old and new fans alike—as anyone who has seen the band live knows, they’ll leave the show as Lovers lovers. —Micah Drew With local opener Dan Costello. 5 p.m., FREE, Grove Plaza, 850 W.

CHASTITY BELT, JULY 28, NEUROLUX The four 20-somethings that make up Seattle rock band Chastity Belt have a flair for meaninglessness. Rather than follow in the footsteps of many a millennial trying to thwart an existential crisis (i.e. taking long road trips, getting tattoos or adopting cats), CB decided to make an album. The band’s second full-length release, Time To Go Home (Hardly Art, 2015), encompasses the feeling of getting drunk because there’s nothing better to do. Combining the raw glory of garage-punk sounds with the strong, clear voice of Julia Shapiro, Time To Go Home invokes rowdy house shows while remaining a highly listenable album. Despite the sentiment of tracks like “IDC (I Don’t Care),” Shapiro and her bandmates clearly do: Elements like varied tempos and intricate guitar parts feel well thought out without sacrificing energy. On the closing title track, Shapiro nails the theme when she sings, “Everything is beautiful/ Because we’re delusional/ I think I figured it out.” If you’re struggling under the weight of indifference (or a hangover) postpone finding yourself and go see Chastity Belt instead. —Sarah Rosin With Mascaras and Atomic Moses, 8 p.m., $8-10.

It’s gonna be a hot time in the old town.

HELL, YES In his play No Exit, Jean-Paul Sartre wrote that “Hell is other people.” It’s a soundbite that stuck. We’re more accustomed to talking about hell as a place we’re in right now or a place where we’ve been, rather than a spiritual concept reserved for baddies. Dante had a different vision of hell. In his Divine Comedy, which he divided into “Hell,” “Purgatory” and “Paradise,” Dante explored an afterlife where punishment, penance and reward were doled out metaphorically. It’s in this spirit that Story Story Night kicks off its Late-Night summer series Monday, June 29 at Visual Arts Collective with “Hell: Stories of the Ultimate Burn.” Featured storytellers will share their own visions of “the bad place” and, like all diabolical doings, this event is rated R. Tickets cost $10 and the show starts at 8 p.m. “Hell” will be followed by “Purgatory: Stories of Being Stuck in the Middle with You” Monday, July 27, and “Paradise: Stories of Buying a Stairway to Heaven” Monday, Aug. 31. storystorynight.org In other hellish news, a 1332 Records (666 x 2 = 1332, or twice the evil) showcase is set for Sunday, June 27, at Knitting Factory. For nearly 12 years, the local record company has been releasing albums in that most tenacious of genres: punk. If you’re reeling from the battle-heavy valar morghulis-ness of Game of Thrones, a raucous night of music by The Useless, P36, Nude Oil, The Jerkwadz and Trigger Itch might help release some pent-up emotions . Tickets are only $8 at the door or get them free in advance from the bands, 1332 Records, Gig’s Music/Musician’s Pro Shop and Hot Topic in Boise Towne Square Mall. Now, that is some cheap therapy. 1332records.com In another kind of hellish news, Supersuckers singer and bassist Eddie Spaghetti has been diagnosed with stage 3 oropharynx cancer. In an open letter on supersuckers.com, Spaghetti’s wife wrote how they received a call on June 15 “that would change everything. Like E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G.” Spaghetti is scheduled to undergo surgery Monday, June 29, followed by radiation therapy. The Supersuckers’ summer European tour is cancelled, and “plans to release the next Supersuckers album are in jeopardy.” Best wishes to the Spaghetti family. supersuckers.com —BW Staff 24 | JUNE 24–30, 2015 | BOISEweekly

ARTS & CULTURE WHAT THE F/64?

A look at BAM’s new exhibition through the eyes of two local photographers HARRISON BERRY Group f/64 reads like the index of a history of photography textbook: Ansel Adams, Imogen Cunningham, Willard Van Dyke, and Brett and Edward Weston. From 1930-35, these San Francisco-based artists—whose collective name, f/64, refers to a large-format camera’s small aperture setting—codified modern photographic technique, focusing on meticulously framed images and sharp focus on natural and industrial forms. All are still studied today for their beauty and technical prowess. Group f/64: Revolutionary Vision, an exhibition of the group’s work at Boise Art Museum, brings the collected visions of some of the 20th century’s most influential photographers with original prints and illuminating background information. For local photographers Levi Bettweiser (founder of the Rescued Film Project) and Laurie Pearman (frequent Boise Weekly contributor), f/64 is synonymous with uncompromising technical standards and iconic images. BW toured the exhibition with Bettweiser and Pearman to get their take on why Group f/64’s work is important in the 21st century. What were your ﬁrst impressions of the exhibition? Levi Bettweiser: It was cool seeing that most of the prints were no larger than 8 inches by 10 inches. [The photographers] were really into contact prints—prints that were just directly from the negatives—so it was really kind of cool because it forced you to get in closer. The huge Ansel Adams prints were cool, but you could stand back and look at them like an art gallery print; but I liked the ones that were smaller prints. Laurie Pearman: To add to that, what I thought was cool was that you could stand back from these small ones and you still had this impact. The contrast was just stronger and you get up close and then you start seeing all these details that are equally interesting. ... In fact, I almost wish some of these were really small. LB: Well, sometimes I’d start looking at one photographer and then I’d realize I’d transitioned to another photographer and I’d be, like, “Oh! This is completely different,” and it would com26 | JUNE 24–30, 2015 | BOISEweekly

pletely throw me off—like, their form changed. I was looking at the Westons [Brett and Edward], and I’d realize I’d transitioned into the son’s work. LP: I had to go back and keep checking their names. In some cases the transition was really sharp, like between Imogen Cunningham and the photographers whose work surrounded hers. LP: It wasn’t quite as high contrast, and her subject matter was different, too. LB: What I liked about hers was that there weren’t that many of them but they were mostly photos of people. Most of the other photos were of forms and landscapes, and hers, while they seemed like they weren’t as technically tight as the other ones because they’re all super contrasting lines, forms and shapes, hers were more about the subject ... where the whole group, they don’t care about subjects as much, at least from what I read. I like photos of people; I think they tell more stories. But Willard Van Dyke had that photo of the two Depression-era guys standing in front of the circus sign. LB: It was super interesting to me. I read the info on this group when I first got in there and read it again when I ended it, and it said the group got started because people started manipulating their photos and doing weird techniques, and they formed this group to show people what you can do with the artform based on what you can do technically with the camera and that type of thing. [T]hat was really the draw of the whole thing for me: The idea behind this group that

wanted to show that the artform could only do what you can do in-camera without manipulating subjects. Everything we shoot now has very little to do with technique, but everything’s about context and subjects and what you’re shooting, not what you’re shooting on or how you’re shooting it. It seemed very poignant in this day and age when everything’s digital. How did you feel about the content of the photos? Some of these photographers are very content-oriented, while others are very technical. LB: There’s definitely two different forms of photography in there. One is all about the image and the contrast and the composition and the contrast, and there’s the other that’s more in the content and context and documenting side of photography, which is the portraits and maybe the less technical side of things. I like seeing those contrasts. I think most photographers relate to one of those two fields. LP: I think the strongest photos out of each of the different photographers were the ones that captured both, though. One of them was of a pepper, and it’s not just a pepper; or the nude where it’s shot from behind. You know what it is, but you can’t stop looking at it—there’s more to it, the storytelling aspect to this very straightforward subject. LB: I’m super envious of art photographers. That kind of photography, to me, takes a lot more skill because a subject that’s engaging can carry so much of your photography and you can let some of the technique and the art go a little bit if you have an engaging subject. I really admire photography like that. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

LP: Did you guys read up on Edward Weston’s shot of his fiancee, that note about how she hated the shadow on her arm and he hated the bobby pins in her hair? It’s, like, this beautiful, amazing composition and the shadows were these gorgeous smoothing lines and these harsh lines, and he’s, like, “I hate the shadow on her right arm.” They’re such harsh critics of the technical part of their work.

ARTS & CULTURE incredible and I’m doing all this work.” But I think it levels the playing field a little bit. When people look at photos now they are viewing it from a very “Is this a good photo?” perspective. Maybe they don’t necessarily know why they feel that way, but that’s just how they view it now. It’s not an amazing photo because someone took it with an 8-by10 camera. People just look at photos and think, “I like this photo” or “I don’t like this photo.”

LB: That speaks to most artists, right? It’s like all you can see are the flaws.

LP: Maybe I’m nostalgic about it. This does make me think back to my very first classes on photography. I looked at these photographers and their work and the style of photography, and over the years it has become this other form that has kind of forgotten its roots. I think it was really transformative for me going in there and looking at those photos and standing there and critiquing them. I used to try to reproduce these things myself. There’s not a whole lot of excitement if you’re not appreciating the technical part of those photos.

LP: But there’s something different about just staring at one image for so long in a darkroom, like, I’m sure you could dwell on things a lot more. Right now, it’s easier to download a batch of images, take a few, move on and not be fixated on this image for a week. LB: Yeah, totally. Were there photographers whose work you preferred?

LB: I think people now inherently think everything is in color, everything’s shot in color, and people automatically look at a black-and-white photo and they spend a little more time with it. They observe it differently even if they’re not consciously observing it differently.

“Cement Factory, Monument, CA,” by Willard Van Dyke, 1931, gelatin silver print, part of the Group f/64 exhibition at Boise Art Museum.

LP: I think Brett Weston’s was the most striking to me just because his printing was amazing. I’m sure you read about it, too, how he printed for his dad and the immense amount of printing skills. … I could have stared at some of those photos for a long time, especially the dam—I think actually that might have been Edward [Weston]’s, but their work, like I said, blends together. But his printing was incredible.

LB: I liked the abstract ones; it takes just a lot of skill to evoke emotion in something so mundane. [I]f you take a super boring subject and make it super beautiful, that takes way more skill to me than just taking a picture of an amazing moment. You have so much more control over that. LP: Although I don’t know the last time I saw an 8-by-10-inch landscape from really far away. Did you guys look at that dam one, and you can see the people like sitting on a bench. It’s so sharp, still. I can’t do that. [Laughs.] LB: It’s those contact prints, man. What did you think about all the pictures of industrial-age technology?

It looks so fresh and clean, like it could have been shot yesterday, but it’s just gone now, just out of date. There’s also something kind of magniﬁcent about a lot of the images, as well. LP: I think also, when you strip out color it makes you stop and perceive it in a completely different way, and it does seem more timeless, maybe because you can’t see the rest as well. LB: The whole time I was just reveling in the whole technical, artform part of it. But it is this film vs. digital debate, but I think now digital is its own artform, and it actually can be a hybrid of the two artforms. What do you make of this exhibition being predominantly seen by people who take their pictures with their phone cameras? LB: I think people will recognize a great photo when there’s a great photo to be seen. I don’t think anymore people think about the technique that goes into it as much. I used to think, like, “Ah fuckin’ iPhones. [That photography] looks

LP: If it’s black-and-white and out of focus, it’s art. LB: People just feel like it’s connected to something farther away than right now. I don’t know.

Great Garden Escape

What were some of the technical aspects of these photos that impressed you the most? LP: Tonal ranges. There was so much detail within shadows and there was nothing blown out. It was a full spectrum, I feel like, with the tones. LB: Well that, and obviously Ansel Adams and his ability to use technique to show us what he’s seeing—to me, he’s unsurpassed by anyone. That’s why he’s the most famous photographer ever. LP: I don’t want to sound too bitter about iPhones. LB: Yeah, I used to be really bitter about it. Now, anymore, it’s leveling the playing field. As I shoot more film and a lot less digital, everything’s a medium. Everything’s a tool. There will be a gallery in 50 years of work that was shot on the very first iPhone.

WINESIPPER

DRY RIESLING In the past, riesling, a category then dominated by wines from Germany, most often meant sweet. Tastes have changed and riesling has adapted. Today, gloriously sweet German rieslings have been joined by dryer versions— labeled trocken—and other wine regions have jumped on board. The grape thrives in the Northwest, including in Idaho, so it’s no surprise two of the top wines hail from our home state. 2014 COILED DRY RIESLING, $16.99 Coiled winemaker Leslie Preston is a proud champion of riesling. Her take on the grape is uniquely delicious, and this 2014 is bursting with riesling’s characteristic ripe apricot aromas, backed by lychee and lavender. It’s a beautifully balanced wine with a lively mix of blood orange, lime and pineapple fruit flavors. Flint and mineral come through on the long finish. 2013 DOMANE WACHAU FEDERSPIEL TERRASSEN RIESLING, $24.00 While riesling originated in Germany, neighboring Austria has embraced the grape, typically producing a wine that’s on the dry side. This elegantly structured version from the Wachau Valley offers floral lemon curd aromas with touches of almond, mineral and slate. The citrus flavors are crisp and lively, and racy acidity on the finish begs to be paired with food. Think shellfish. 2012 KOENIG VINEYARDS RIESLING, SUNNY SLOPE CUVEE, $12.99 Greg Koenig is one of Idaho’s premier winemakers and from the lovely stone fruit aromas colored by a characteristic touch of diesel on the nose, you’d guess this riesling hailed from Germany. On the palate, it’s more Aussie in style: bone dry, almost austere, with bracing acidity. Bright citrus flavors lead off, finishing with mineral and lemon zest. This is a great buy. —David Kirkpatrick BOISE WEEKLY.COM

HEROES OF THE STORM Pulling recognizable characters from each of its biggest franchises, gaming company Blizzard created the perfect melting pot for Pandaren healers (World of Warcraft), Protoss assassins (Starcraft II) and barbarian warcries (Diablo III): Heroes of the Storm. Heroes plays in similar ways as other multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) games—like League of Legends and Defense of the Ancients 2—with an ever-growing cast of characters that players can summon for battle. The goal is heroesofthestorm.com to defeat another team of selected FREE heroes by plowing through waves of minions, enlisting the assistance of mercenary camps and ultimately destroying the center refuge of the enemy’s base. What sets Heroes apart from other games in its vein is that it comes with several map types, which provide new experiences with every match—whether they’re ﬁghts for moon shrines or skullcollecting missions. Unlike staple MOBA games, Heroes characters do not earn gold for items by killing minions. Instead, characters ﬁght for experience points. Advancing levels unlocks new abilities and talent points that boost these abilities—a welcome change from League-style minion farming and item collection. Heroes puts its emphasis on teamwork, fostering a greater sense of camaraderie among its players. Because teams level up together and share teamwide goals, players are encouraged to support their weakest teammates. This group focus makes for much friendlier gameplay and overall satisfaction with every win or loss. —Justin Kirkham BOISE WEEKLY.COM

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): During my regular hikes along my favorite trails, I’ve gotten to know the local boulders quite intimately. It might sound daft, but I’ve come to love them. I’ve even given some of them names. They symbolize stability and constancy to me. When I gaze at them or sit on them, I feel my own resolve grow stronger. They teach me about how to be steadfast and unflappable in all kinds of weather. I draw inspiration from the way they are so purely themselves, forever true to their own nature. Now would be an excellent time for you to hang out with your own stony allies, Aries. You could use a boost in your ability to express the qualities they embody. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Everyone is a genius at least once a year,” wrote German aphorist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg. “The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together.” According to my astrological analysis, Taurus, your once-a-year explosion of genius is imminent. It’s even possible you will experience a series of eruptions that continue for weeks. The latter scenario is most likely if you unleash the dormant parts of your intelligence through activities like these: having long, rambling conversations with big thinkers; taking long, rambling walks all over creation; enjoying long, rambling sex while listening to provocative music.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “I think if we didn’t contradict ourselves, it would be awfully boring,” says author Paul Auster. “It would be tedious to be alive.” But he goes even further in his defense of inconsistency, adding, “Changing your mind is probably one of the most beautiful things people can do.” This bold assertion may not apply to everyone all the time, but it does for you in the coming weeks, Gemini. You should feel free to explore and experiment with the high art of changing your mind. I dare you to use it to generate extravagant amounts of beauty. CANCER (June 21-July 22): In its early days, the band Depeche Mode had the infinitely boring name Composition of Sound. Humphrey Bogart’s and Ingrid Bergman’s classic 1942 film Casablanca was dangerously close to being called Everybody Come to Rick’s. And before Charles Dickens published his novel Bleak House, a scathing critique of the 19thcentury British judicial system, he considered 11 other possible titles, including the unfortunate Tom-all-Alone’s. The Solitary House that was always shut up and never Lighted. I bring this to your attention, Cancerian, as the seeding phase of your personal cycle gets under way. The imprints you put on your budding creations will have a major impact on their future. Name them well. Give them a potent start.

32 | JUNE 24–30, 2015 | BOISEweekly

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): One summer afternoon when I was 7 years old, my friend Billy and I grabbed an empty jar from my kitchen and went looking for ants. Near the creek, we found an anthill swarming with black ants and scooped a bunch of them in the jar. A little later we came upon a caravan of red ants, and shoved many of them in with the black ants. Would they fight? Naturally. It was mayhem. Looking back now, I’m sorry I participated in that stunt. Why stir up a pointless war? In that spirit, Leo, I urge you to avoid unnecessary conflicts. Don’t do anything remotely comparable to putting red ants and black ants in the same jar. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In order for everyone in your sphere to meet their appointed destinies, you must cultivate your skills as a party animal. I’m only slightly joking. At least for now, it’s your destiny to be the catalyst of conviviality, the ringleader of the festivities, the engineer of fun and games. To fulfill your assignment, you may have to instigate events that encourage your allies to leave their comfort zones and follow you into the frontiers of collaborative amusement. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your symbolic object of the week is a magic wand. I recommend

that you visualize yourself as the star of a fairy tale in which you do indeed have a wand at your disposal. See yourself wielding it to carry out a series of fantastic tricks, like materializing a pile of gold coins or giving yourself an extraordinary power to concentrate or creating an enchanted drink that allows you to heal your toughest wound. I think this playful imaginative exercise will subtly enhance your ability to perform actual magic in the real world. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The taskmaster planet Saturn wove its way through the sign of Scorpio from October 2012 until the end of 2014. Now it has slipped back into your sign for a last hurrah. Between now and mid-September. I urge you to milk its rigorous help in every way you can imagine. For example, cut away any last residues of trivial desires and frivolous ambitions. Hone your focus and streamline your self-discipline. Once and for all, withdraw your precious energy from activities that waste your time and resist your full engagement. And if you’re serious about capitalizing on Saturn’s demanding gifts, try this ritual: Write either “I will never squander my riches” or “I will make full use of my riches” 20 times—whichever motivates you most.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The advanced lessons on tap in the coming days are not for the squeamish, the timid, the lazy, or the stubborn. But then you’re not any of those things, right? So there shouldn’t be a major problem. The purpose of these subterranean adventures and divine interventions is to teach you to make nerve-racking leaps of faith, whether or not you believe you’re ready. Here’s one piece of advice that I think will help: Don’t resist and resent the tests as they appear. Rather, welcome them as blessings you don’t understand yet. Be alert for the liberations they will offer. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Man’s being is like a vast mansion,” observed philosopher Colin Wilson, “yet he seems to prefer to live in a single room in the basement.” Wilson wasn’t just referring to Capricorns. He meant everybody. Most of us commit the sin of selflimitation on a regular basis. That’s the bad news. The good news, Capricorn, is that you’re entering a time when you’re more likely to rebel against the unconscious restrictions you have placed on yourself. You will have extra motivation to question and overrule the rationales that you used in the past to inhibit your primal energy. Won’t it be fun to venture out of your basement nook and go explore the rest of your domain?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “An obscure moth from Latin America saved Australia’s pastureland from the overgrowth of cactus,” writes biologist Edward O. Wilson. “A Madagascar ‘weed,’ the rosy periwinkle, provided the cure for Hodgkin’s disease and childhood leukemia,” he adds, while “a chemical from the saliva of leeches dissolves blood clots during surgery,” and a “Norwegian fungus made possible the organ transplant industry.” I think these are all great metaphors for the kind of healing that will be available for you in the coming weeks, Aquarius: humble, simple, seemingly insignificant things whose power to bring transformation has, up until now, been secret or unknown. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “She is hard to tempt, as everything seems to please her equally,” said artist Anne Raymo in describing a hedonistic acquaintance. A similar statement may soon apply to you, Pisces. You will have a talent for finding amusement in an unusually wide variety of phenomena. But more than that: You could become a connoisseur of feeling really good. You may even go so far as to break into a higher octave of pleasure, communing with exotic phenomena that we might call silken thrills and spicy bliss and succulent revelry.

if any you have, why WYATT JAMES PRINDIVILLE-MORERO should not be declared free from your custody and control for the purpose of freeing WYATT JAMES PRINDIVILLEMORERO for placement for adoption. The following 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 Vixen, Honey, if I knew the answer to that I could solve a whole heap of the world’s ills. Brass tacks time: It’s your relationship. It doesn’t matter why people judge. Thusly, it doesn’t matter what they think. Opinions are like assholes: Everyone has one, but only a few look good enough to be in movies. Blame it on solipsism. Start the journey at social construct, travel from nature to nurture, through the tunnel of heteronormativity, across the rivers of religion, past Ward Cleaver’s house, past Donna Reed’s house, skip even the Munster’s house and stop at the temple so many picket: The Temple of Possibilities Unknown. Some people long for freedom. Some long to be daring. Some people long for a life without constraint, but fear and a desire for security keep them bound to the tidy little boxes society has created. Judgment usually comes from someone who is trapped, looking out at what they might be missing. You do you. If you and your partner are happy and it works for you, that’s all that matters. You’re responsible for pursuing your fulﬁllment. Sometimes, one person can’t meet all those needs. Life is a banquet. Eat up, shug!
