EDITOR’S NOTE SALMONELLA, A PRISON SCANDAL AND BACKCOUNTRY KIDS We have a doozy of a paper for you this week, packed with tales of foodborne illness; prison scandal; the therapeutic nature of flying kids into the backcountry; and all your music, screen and events news. First up, Boise Weekly staff writer Harrison Berry digs into the recent spate of salmonella cases linked to the Boise Co-op. While the deli was examined and given the all-clear to reopen, the other shoe has yet to drop: A round of lawsuits have been filed against the iconic North End grocery store by sickened customers. Berry’s report on Page 7 looks at some of the details of the lawsuits, what they might mean for the Co-op and how the store is weathering the aftermath of the outbreak. On Page 8, BW News Editor George Prentice lifts the lid on a simmering prison scandal about the boil over. Though subject to some media coverage in February, the wheels have been turning in connection to a decades-old lawsuit that alleged “serious problems” in the state’s prison system. That lawsuit, which prompted a damning 94-page report published in 2012, has turned into another suit—this time alleging that prison officials not only failed to follow the directives that came out of the report, but actively misfiled, tampered with and scrubbed records to cover up deficiencies. Past and current prison officials will likely end up in court later this month, along with several inmates who claim their medical records were either altered or destroyed. Even with all the bad press lingering over Idaho prisons in recent years, this scandal—based on the statements found by Prentice in various depositions—has the potential to be the biggest yet. Finally, on a heart-strings-tugging note, BW staff writer Jessica Murri spent a few days in the backcountry with a group of kids who, because of physical or mental challenges, may never have otherwise had the chance to experience some of the wild places that make Idaho so unique. Find her report on Page 10. —Zach Hagadone

OPINION RED OUT, AGAIN
Why is northern Idaho such a loon magnet? BILL COPE “Red... they’re encouraging the most feebleminded, frightened, paranoid misfits in America to flock to the Intermountain Northwest and take over the entire area. Politically, culturally... you name it.” “Sounds like a gull-durn good plan, if ’n y’ ask me. An explanation for those who missed my conversation with Red last week: He came to me curious about the “American Redapt” (as he called it). The “American Redoubt” (as it’s really called) came up in another recent column, and Red thought it sounded like something in which he might be interested. I continue with that conversation, overlapping slightly from where we left off last week. “Hows come I ain’t heard ‘bout it b’fore?” “Don’t know, Red. I hadn’t heard about it myself until a few weeks ago. But then, I’m not a fundamentalist gun nut, xenophobic idiot who spends his time searching through the Internet for places where he might be able to live off the land like a parasite, keep his kids as ignorant as he is with homeschooling and where there are hardly any minorities.” “There ya’ go again, Cope. Why’s it always got t’ be about them dang minorities? Why cain’t it jus’ be about folks who want t’ be wit’ their own kind?” “Because when it’s about folks wanting to be with their own kind, it inevitably means that the folks who aren’t their kind end up disempowered, disenfranchised, dispossessed and, all too often, just plain dead. We’re talking about people who can’t evolve beyond a tribal mentality, and the more global our society becomes, the more they revert to behaving like cannibal lynch mobs.” “I jus’ bet they din’t say nothin’ ‘bout cannibal lynch mobs in the brochures, Cope. Sounds like y’r doin’ some exaggergatin’.” “Ah, maybe so. Maybe I’m getting all worked up over nothing. After all, most of these schemes are pretty much total flops. The ‘Citadel?’... Bo Gritz’s ‘Almost Heaven?’... flops. Trouble is, the founders of these promised-land operations don’t seem to understand that you can’t build stable communities with unstable people.” “So whys you all pepperpleptic over this ‘Merican Redoable? If y’r so sure it’s another one o’ those loony flop skizzers, what’s y’r big consterpation?” “Not Redoable. Redoubt. And the thing is, it bugs the crap out of me that every time some Moses wannabe comes up with another big exodus plan to the wilds of north Idaho, another batch of tax-evading, gun-toting, Bible thumpBOISE WEEKLY.COM
ing morons move in, further tainting Idaho politics with their antisocial stupidity. The Aryan Nation dregs... the Randy Weaver-types, hiding out in the woods like ticks... people too nuts for even Bo Gritz... southern California cops clumped up in Sandpoint like earwigs under a flat rock. Even if the schemes fail, they always leave another residue of crazy behind, don’t they? It gets to feeling like northern Idaho is turning into a nest of stunted, slobbering mutants, one hair-brained Galt’s Gulch coven after another.” “An’ you don’ think the ‘Merican Reach-Out is any different?” “Redoubt, Red. Re! Doubt! And the only difference is, it’s a lot more ambitious than the others. They don’t want just northern Idaho. They want all of Idaho, all of Montana and Wyoming, along with the eastern portions of Oregon and Washington. Makes for a nice big square on the map. As near as I can tell, the name started with a blogger, James Wesley Rawles, who claims to be some kind of fundamentalist, survivalist, whatever-ist. He insists he’s not a racist, but I see that as just another way of insinuating it is about race. He’s encouraging only the most conservative Christians and Jews to move here. Compares it to the Pilgrims coming to the New World, of all things. On his website, he even has a list of approved churches they ought to join when they get here, and five of them are here in Ada County!” “So y’r saying I wouldn’t even haf’ t’ move up north t’ get int’ this ‘Merican Rescout. That I’s already here?” “That’s right, Red. You’re already here. And it’s not Rescout, it’s... aw, screw it! Call it any damn thing you want.” “Wull how long have I been here, an’ din’t know it? “Wikipedia claims this Rawles character kicked it off in 2011, but I have a hunch he’s only taking credit for something that’s been going on for a long time. It’s like watching termites migrate, then claiming he came up with the idea. The more I learn about it, especially in conjunction with the political atmosphere of today’s Idaho, the more I suspect these birds have been flying in for years. Check out where some of our Legislators came from, if you don’t believe me.” “Y’r ain’t convinced me, Cope. I don’ know beans ‘bout this ‘Merican Resprout what y’r so het up over, but I don’ see nothin’ wrong wit’ people who think alike all goin’ to one spot an’ turnin’ it int’ the way they wan’ it.” Maybe Red’s right. After all, that’s exactly what the Pilgrims did. And look how great it turned out for the Wampanoags. BOISEweekly | JULY 8–14, 2015 | 5
OPINION LAW ENFORCEMENT CLASS And lowest common denominators JOHN REMBER Word had come down from the regional forester that any Sawtooth Forest employee with law enforcement authority had to attend a training session before issuing tickets to lawbreakers. So on an otherwise beautiful June day in 1971, I was sitting in a hot, linoleum-floored, fluorescent-lit room in Twin Falls, doodling on a legal pad and wishing I was on the way to Sawtooth Lake, cutting logs out of the trail with a crosscut saw. With me were 20 other wilderness rangers, our Sawtooth-White Cloud trail crew and other seasonal employees of the Ketchum, Stanley and Fairfield ranger districts. We were listening to Cecil the Retired FBI Agent, who began his lecture by telling us he wouldn’t die until the last bad guy he had put in jail served his time. Cecil had the controlled violence of a genial Alabama sheriff and when he looked at you, it was easy to imagine that he was sizing you up for multiple life sentences. But the crimes Cecil talked about weren’t lifesentence material. He discussed stealing timber and vandalizing forest signs, motorcycles in the wilderness, squatters in campgrounds and marijuana plantations in the forest. He was particularly concerned about the latter, and asked us to be on the lookout for camouflage netting, PVC hoses in mountain streams and old camp trailers at the end of narrow, just-chainsawed roads. “If the growers find out you’ve discovered their plants, they’ll kill you.” He grinned, forgetting he was retired. “I get to put them in jail.” The wilderness ranger next to me raised his hand. “How about if we just ignore them?” Cecil looked at him. “That’s accessory to a felony,” he said. “I get to put you in jail, too.” After Cecil, we were hoping the Good Cop would show up. He did, in a Forest Service uniform. “My name is Rick,” he said. “Ranger Rick.” He was part of the Forest Service’s law enforcement team, and he began with a story about the 1968 Olympic Massacre in Mexico City, when Mexican authorities placed tanks around a square filled with protesting students and machinegunned the crowd. “They killed at least 500 kids,” Ranger Rick said. “Maybe a thousand. Maybe two. In Mexico, the people serve the government or else.” Then he said, “In this country, the government serves the people. That’s why, when you’re out in the forest, try to remember that the people you meet—even if they’re breaking rules—are the people you work for.” He wasn’t in front of us to talk about Mexico, he said. His topic was LCDs, or Lowest Common Denominators. He told us about a former colleague of his, on a city police force, who traded 6 | JULY 8–14, 2015 | BOISEweekly
in his service-issued Colt .38 for a .357 magnum. When he fired his new gun at a fleeing suspect, the bullet traveled two blocks, went through two walls and shattered a woman’s arm while she was breastfeeding her baby. “What happened to the baby?” asked the wilderness ranger next to me. Ranger Rick said, “I don’t know. She probably dropped it. I do know if you go back to that guy’s squad room today, there’s a rule that nobody can have a .357.” Ranger Rick told us that in any group, there was a Lowest Common Denominator, a person who would obey every rule but get everyone in trouble anyway. “Somebody in this room is your LCD. Any one of you could tell me exactly who it is.” The wilderness ranger next to me raised his hand, but put it down when he saw that everybody was looking at him. “If somebody’s really gung-ho, if he sees his job as writing tickets, if he sees the public as the enemy, if he sees every situation as a matter of catching a bad guy, sooner or later he’ll hurt an innocent person. Not long after, we’ll have a new rule for everyone to follow.” He paused. “The rule I don’t want to see next summer is that you all need to carry weapons. That will mean one of you has let a situation get out of hand.” It was a different message than Cecil had given us. The reason I remember it now, 44 years later, is that the Lowest Common Denominators have won. See a person in a uniform these days, and chances are they have a gun. Lowest Common Denominators always win eventually, Ranger Rick had told us. Screw-ups add up. Organizations get so rule-bound they can’t function, and rule-breakers end up as the only people who get things done. That’s why bureaucracies—even law enforcement bureaucracies—end up being violent to the people they’re supposed to serve. You can stay home and still end up in Mexico. In retrospect, Cecil was our LCD, not because he was gung-ho, not because he was a predator who saw humans as prey, not because he simplified every situation to a contest between right and wrong, but because he was a double-dipper. He’d retired out of the Bureau and was drawing his pension and Social Security, all the while making fat consulting fees teaching hardcore law enforcement to people whose main concerns were dropped gum wrappers and making sure that campfires were dead out. Cecil is no doubt dead himself, money being a poor life-extender compared to putting people in jail, but still. There ought to be a law. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

The Boise Co-op is looking ahead following a significant Salmonella outbreak
This 104-room, seven-story hotel is proposed for Capitol and Myrtle Streets.
THE ‘INNS’ AND OUTS OF BOISE’S HOTEL DILEMMA
HARRISON BERRY Retired nurse Sarah Allman was sitting in the Boise Co-op gazebo eating a sandwich in the early afternoon of June 26. She had been riding her bike on the Greenbelt when the lunch hour struck, and she crossed downtown Boise to grab a bite. Allman said she rarely eats at the Co-op, and had read local media accounts of a salmonella outbreak at the North End grocery store’s popular deli. That didn’t stop Allman from peeling back the paper wrapper on her sandwich and taking a bite. “I really think that they just went through this; they’re probably on their toes, now more so than any other time,” she said of the Co-op deli staff. Almost two weeks before, on June 13, the Central District Health Department released a statement saying that it had linked the Co-op to approximately 30 cases of salmonella, a foodborne illness. Since then, the number of confirmed cases has mushroomed to nearly 300. The Co-op deli—which accounts for 18 percent of the store’s weekly sales—shut down for four days and four lawsuits have been filed by people who fell ill after eating there. The grocery store now faces insurance claims, legal expenses and lost business—all while it is planning a second location in the Village at Meridian, set to open Thursday, Oct. 15. This is a time of uncertainty for the Co-op: It’s unknown how salmonella was introduced to the deli, how many people fell ill or how the outbreak will financially affect the grocer. For Co-op Marketing Manager Maureen “Mo” Valko, those uncertainties are wounds that will take time to heal. “It’s going to take a while to rebuild trust with some people. It’s been a widespread incident and we completely understand that we’ll need some time to regain some community members’ trust in the Co-op,” she said. One thing that is clear in the wake of the outbreak is that the symptoms of salmonella are unpleasant: People exposed to the bacterium can begin suffering diarrhea, fever, abdominal cramps and vomiting between 12 and 72 hours after consuming contaminated foods. The symptoms can last for days. Left untreated, it can kill. Every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control, it sickens 1 million people, hospitalizes 19,000 and BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Boise Co-op Marketing Manager Maureen “Mo” Valko: “We completely understand that we’ll need some time to regain some community members’ trust in the Co-op.”
kills 380 in the United States. CDHD investigators have determined that salmonella was introduced to the Co-op deli on or before June 1, and began receiving reports of an outbreak by June 8. By the time the sources of contamination were identified, hundreds, if not thousands, of Co-op customers had been exposed. Approximately a quarter of the cases were traced to the Co-op’s recently opened kiosk at the Boise Airport. As of July 1, CDHD had verified 290 cases, making it one of the largest (if not the largest) foodborne illness outbreaks in Idaho’s recorded history. “We don’t typically see outbreaks of this magnitude. Normally it’s a couple cases here and there, but this is one of the largest in Idaho history,” said CDHD Public Information Officer Christine Myron. At first, the source of the illness was unknown. When CDHD released its initial public warning about verified salmonella cases, it named the Co-op as one of several locations possibly linked to the disease. As investigators gathered testimony from affected customers and examined food samples, it became clear that the contamination wasn’t in the Co-op’s supply chain—farms and other vendors from which the grocer sources its foods—but the Co-op deli itself. “We know that many of those same vendors sell to other restaurants in the community. If they were distributed elsewhere, we would know, and we’d be dealing with more cases if that was the case,” Myron said. After tracing the outbreak to the Co-op, investigators were then able to isolate the contamination to three commonly used items: raw turkey, onions and tomatoes. The DNA of salmonella
changes quickly, and CDHD investigators are studying it to learn more about the source of bacteria and how it spread through the deli. According to attorney William Marler, of Seattle-based law firm Marler Clark, the nature of the science behind epidemiology makes it unlikely that the four civil cases filed against the Co-op will go to trial. “The reality is that most foodborne illness cases don’t go to trial because there’s really not a lot to argue about,” he said. “Causation really isn’t an issue. For those people who are culture-positive to salmonella and genetically linked to strains at the Co-op, the real issue is, what are the damages?” Marler Clark has recovered approximately $600 million in damages for victims of foodborne illnesses since it was founded in 1998 by attorneys who cut their teeth representing clients following the Jack in the Box E. coli outbreak that sickened 732 and killed four children in 1993. Marler is representing the plaintiffs in their suits against the Boise Co-op, seeking damages relating to the salmonella outbreak. Those include medical bills and out-of-pocket expenses; lost wages and earning capacity; emotional distress including anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, and pain and suffering; and reduced life expectancy. He said damages are “completely dependent on the severity of someone’s illness,” from the “low five figures” to “quite expensive.” Marler said the Co-op’s situation is unusual both for the high number of reported cases and the number of people affected in other states. “I’d put the Boise Co-op among the 8 larger outbreaks at a restaurant ever,” he said. “You have people whose only
When Gardner Company announced in Late June that it intended to build a new 200to 300-room “brand name” hotel as part of a four-block development at the foot of the Boise Connector, more than a few Boiseans questioned whether the City of Trees really needs another downtown hotel. Gardner’s plan comes as two other developers are eyeing their own hotel projects: a 180-room, 10-story hotel at the corner of Capitol Boulevard and Broad Streets, and a 104-room, seven-story hotel across the street at Capitol and Myrtle Streets. However, if a new study released Tuesday July 7 is correct, Boise’s economy is actually behind the curve when it comes to adequate hotel space—and those new projects can’t come soon enough. The study, conducted by California-based PKF Consulting for the so-called Boise TriAgency Group—which includes the city of Boise, Capital City Development Corporation and Greater Boise Auditorium District—is pessimistic that all of the hotel projects will be built. “Thus suggesting that there may not be enough rooms to meet forecasted demand over the next six years,” it was stated in the report. Simply put, the study concludes that Boise needs at least 580 new hotel rooms in the next six years. The study points to the current demand facing Boise’s 10 downtown hotels, which together total 1,290 rooms. Currently, those hotels are facing a minimum of 80 percent occupancy on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and more than 70 percent each Monday through Friday. More importantly, none of the hotels can regularly guarantee a convention or meeting group a block of 300-plus rooms. The Boise Centre, after its current expansion is complete, will be able to host an additional 500 people on peak event days and might require 400-plus guestrooms on a peak night. The study concludes that Boise is in need of at least one full-service, branded hotel that contains between 350 and 450 rooms. Meanwhile, nothing of that sort is currently on the drawing board. —George Prentice BOISEweekly | JULY 8–14, 2015 | 7
NEWS CONTINUED common denominator is purchasing sandwiches at a kiosk while leaving Boise.” Valko remains optimistic. “Our goal coming out of this— our long-term goal, something we’d like to see in a few years—is for the Co-op kitchen to be a model kitchen in the [Treasure] Valley,” she said. In 2012, the Co-op spent approximately $800,000 remodeling its deli as part of a larger reorganization and update of its facilities. When staff learned of the outbreak, the Co-op was in the midst of a $1 million community investment campaign that would help build the new deli at the grocery store’s upcoming second location, as well as purchase new equipment in the North End. That campaign has since been put on hold, but the goal of the deli becoming a “model kitchen” remains in place. Since the outbreak, each member of the deli staff has undergone retraining and 11 deli employees have been enrolled in ServSafe food safety training at Life’s Kitchen. “The nice thing about the training is that everybody gets on the same page about why safety is important,” said Life’s Kitchen Executive Director Jeremy Maxand, who has taught the eight-hour ServSafe course for two years. The Life’s Kitchen ServSafe program gives trainees—from kitchen managers to frontline employees—information about food receiving, storage and preparation, as well as food safety documentation and best practices. Managers then implement those practices as kitchen policy. The program was designed to be more rigorous than the state standard for food handling—a 50-question, openbook test that can be taken as many times as necessary. “[ServSafe] is more intense. It takes more time. There’s more back-and-forth conversation,” Maxand said. Meanwhile, at the Co-op, Valko has been directing those caught in the outbreak to the grocer’s insurance policy through Oregon Mutual and managing public outreach on the issue, encouraging sickened customers to contact her. The investment drive has resumed, and some of the checks from investors have referred to the outbreak. “I had one email in particular that said, ‘We really want to support the Co-op through this and we believe in what the Co-op stands for, and this incident is really unfortunate, but we want to continue our support of the store,’” she said. “People have rallied behind us.” Valko said that though sales in the deli remain below average, more people visit there daily, and that has helped boost spirits among Co-op staff. “We’ve had such a positive response from our customers and community members that I think it’s really helped morale through this,” she said. 7

Additionally, Brian Fariss, a former psychiatric treatment coordinator for IDOC, testified in a June 2 deposition that “sick inmates, dealing with pervasive mental health issues” were moved out of the Behavioral Health Unit and out to the prison yard prior to Stern’s investigative visit. According to Fariss, “it put inmates who needed mental health services at risk by placing them into the [prison yard].” Still another explosive revelation came from Armida Molina-Medina, a designated examiner with the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, who in a June 5 deposition, said that then-deputy warden Wamble-Fisher had ordered him and fellow clinicians not to document any inmates with Gender Identity Disorder. According to Molina-Medina, Wamble-Fisher also said that she had gone as far as altering previous inmate medical records, removing any references to GID. When attorneys asked Molina-Medina about what explanation was given to him, he testified that Wamble-Fisher said, “Because IDOC would then be forced to provide treatment to those inmates for Gender Identity Disorder-related issues.” One current prison inmate has told BW that he had been attempting to be tested for possible GID diagnosis but has been repeatedly denied. “I’ve been trying to get diagnosed for Gender Identity Disorder for years,” said the inmate, whom BW has chosen not to identify. “But I’ve been told the Idaho Department of Correction simply doesn’t want me to be considered GID.” Another inmate told BW that guards had recently been ordered to remove bras, panties and makeup from certain transgender prisoners at ISCI. “An attorney came down to the prison to talk to six of us,” the inmate said. “So we’re getting ready to speak before the court on July 22. Honestly, I’m worried that if I testify, they may revoke my chance of parole. I’m coming up before the parole board in six months. But we have to tell the truth.” BOISE WEEKLY.COM

You guys are probably always outside. As much as we can be. We bring him to Hulls Gulch, just to look for coyote scat. That’s what happens when you have a family full of biologists. I’ve got a lot to learn about our reserve system, still. I mean, I’ve lived here eight years and I haven’t covered every acre of land that we own or every mile of trail that we manage. I’m going to have to get a mountain bike, because I can’t run or hike that far. I haven’t owned a mountain bike in 10 years.
SARA ARKLE
Boise’s new Foothills and Open Spaces senior manager: ‘I’ve got a lot of miles to cover’
So is it a goal, then, to hit every mile of trail? Yes. I have not actually said that out loud to myself yet, but yes. I need to look at the trails from a different perspective. Rather than just enjoying them and recreating on them and teaching my son about natural resources, I need to look at them as a land manager.
JESSICA MURRI Sara Arkle sat cross-legged on the floor of her new office at the Jim Hall Foothills Learning Center, drinking a cup of tea on a recent late-spring afternoon. Arkle took the keys to the office May 18, after being named the city of Boise’s new Foothills and Open Spaces senior manager. She left an eight-year stint at the Idaho Conservation League to take over the position in city government. Throughout her conversation with Boise Weekly, Arkle referred to a map illustrating the city’s reserves and 160 miles of trails that she’s now responsible for. “Holy crap,” she said. “I’ve got a lot of miles to cover.”
What inspired you to go for this job and leave ICL? I was meeting with Doug [Holloway, Director of Boise Parks and Recreation Department] about something else in my capacity at ICL, and I asked him what they were going to do with this position. We started talking and he was like, “You should look at it and think about applying.” I thought, “You know, I’ve got a master’s degree in parks and recreation.” I loved the recreation classes because who wouldn’t? You learn about how to administer programs that make people happy and healthy. Then, of course, I looked at the breadth of the work, and I thought, “Holy cow, I could actually bring something to the table here.” My master’s research was on communicating fire risk at the urban-wildland interface. So it just seemed like everything was pointing me toward this position. You might have one of the coolest jobs in Boise. It’s going to be challenging for sure, but I’m not going to argue with you. BOISE WEEKLY.COM
What do you think will be challenging? I mean, we own 4,000 acres. There are competing interests in those lands between recreation, and wildlife habitat and fire risk. The complexity of those issues is going to be challenging—to try to balance everything appropriately. Boise cares so much about these properties, so they’re watching. If they think something is impacting a reserve, I get phone calls. Tell me about your day-to-day right now. Oh, it’s everything and a firehose all at once. I’m getting phone calls about property issues already, like ad-hoc trail construction, or people who have purchased properties and realized the previous owners have encroached on city reserves. We co-manage 10,000 acres on top of the 4,000 we own. We’re at around 160 miles of trails, so there are all the issues with land management: invasive weeds, wildlife habitat, recreation opportunities. And then there’s the foothills learning center, the management of the facility and the staff that work here. Monday, the day that I started, I also found out that [U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally] Jew-
Is working here like the show Parks and Recreation? [Laughs] That’s so funny. When I was first hired, a couple of people asked me that. I love that show. I guess in some ways, it kind of is. It’s a really good team of people from all backgrounds.

Who do you most identify with on that show? Personally, I’d have to say Tom Haverford, just because he makes me laugh. I’d like to be that funny. And I do like glitter. Treat yo’ self. And Leslie Knope. She works hard, and she cares a lot. I think I’d probably strive to match her professional abilities. She’s dedicated. Will working for the city be vastly different from working for a nonprofit? Well, I started worked for a nonprofit because when I was working as a biological consultant, I realized that people were not very well connected to the decisions being made around them. I wanted to try to connect people to those decisions. Now I’m in an entity that’s making those decisions, in a position that really has to connect people to those decisions. When I was hired, the thing that really struck me was, I am about to be the steward of the places that make Boise the most livable city in the country. People move here because of these areas, and I’m supposed to take care of them. It’s not lost on me how big of a responsibility that is. I really hope I can do this community justice, do these reserves justice and build something that is lasting and positive and on top of the shoulders of the people who came before me.

W heels D own in theW ilderness Four disabled children experience Idaho’s backcountry for the first time STORY AND PHOTOS BY JESSICA MURRI As the sunset tore across the sky—clouds swollen with pink, orange, purple and blue—14-year-old Meghan Wildman didn’t show much interest. She hadn’t shown much interest in anything since landing at the Sulphur Creek Ranch in the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness. She spent a lot of time staring off into the distance. She spent a lot of time resting her head in her hands. She spent a lot of time sleeping.
10 | JULY 8–14, 2015 | BOISEweekly
The past few years have been rough on Meghan. You can see it by the way she looks into the campfire. Two years ago, on a nice day in March, she was riding with her brother the day after he got his learner’s permit. They were T-boned by a semi truck. “She got folded in half,” said Dayl Wuthrick, her cousin, who lives with Meghan and her dad to help take care of Meghan’s needs. “I was really shocked when I woke up because I couldn’t feel my legs,” Meghan said. “That was the most scary thing.” Meghan traded her love of gymnastics and dance for a life of challenges and adaptations. She gets frustrated when people offer to help her too much. Dayl said she’s in a place where she needs to learn to ask for help.
In all other ways, Meghan is a typical teenager. She wears hot pink sunglasses during the day and rests her phone between her leg and the chair—she’s not super stoked about being out of service for the next three days. Meghan signed up for this trip—Wilderness Within Reach—trip after encouragement from the director of the Boise Parks and Recreation adaptive program. Wilderness Within Reach has been flying groups of people with disabilities into the backcountry for 27 years, giving them access to wilderness they could never experience otherwise. Each participant can bring one person, and the cost is only $35 each: That includes lodging at the ranch, flights in and out and three meals per day—a $3,200 value for eight people. Four three days, June 23-25, four kids with physical

disabilities and their families stayed at Sulphur Creek Ranch. They were flown in on a series of Cessnas and charter planes. Meghan took a Dramamine before her flight, and it zapped her of energy throughout the day. As the sun set, she slumped a little in her wheelchair. Every evening, the couple who runs the ranch let their 20 horses out of the corral and into the ranch yard. The horses grazed alongside a row of rustic cabins and, to the delight of the guests, made their way up to the lodge and fire pit. Dayl pushed Meghan out into the field as the horses meandered. A large black horse stomped up to Meghan, who reached out a timid hand and swatted away the horse flies. The horse gave an abrasive shake of his mane and pushed his nose into Meghan’s lap. She looked unsure. Then, she put a palm on the horse’s face. Two more horses came up and Meghan was suddenly surrounded. She swatted away more flies and smiled a little. Then she smiled a little more. Then she started to laugh. Dayl laughed with her, taking pictures with her smartphone. From the lodge yard, pilot Tom Boyer watched this scene unfold in the field of horses. “This is why we do it,” he said.

Welcome to Sulphur Creek Sulphur Creek Ranch was built in 1948 as a destination for the Hollywood elite. Situated five miles from the Middle Fork of the Salmon River near Boundary Creek, the only way to access the ranch is by foot or plane. Most people arrive by plane. Pilots call it the “$300 breakfast.” They take off from Boise, Twin Falls or McCall in two- or four-seater Cessnas and they enter the world of backcountry airstrips, far beyond the reach of any air traffic controller. They fly in on cool mountain mornings, shred across the dirt airstrip, park their planes like most people park cars, jump out and order the Sulphur Creek $20, all-inclusive breakfast. It comes with a pile of scrambled eggs; crispy hash browns; homemade biscuits drowning in thick; white gravy; three strips of bacon; blueberries and vanilla bean yogurt; endless refills of black coffee and the best scenery a backcountry pilot could want with breakfast. The menu says “YES or NO.” You either want it or you don’t. Kiere and ValDean Schroeder took over management of the ranch a handful of years ago. ValDean looks like he has never known any other life, with his well-worn straw cowboy hat, spurs on his heels, a long white mustache and stiff knees. He rolls his
own cigarettes and he has only had to shoot a cougar in this country once: She crouched down in front of him and lowered her ears. Kiere considers her guests family. She calls everyone by name as if she’s known them her whole life. She razzes the new pilots who fly in for breakfast and shouts at them when their food is ready. She leaves the ranch “only for deaths and lawsuits.” The couple, as well as their employees, run Sulphur Creek six months of the year. In November, after the last hunting party has gone, they board it up and pack their 20 horses out. Throughout the day, planes constantly take off from and land on the airstrip. When a plane touches down or takes off, everyone stops their conversations to watch. After it lands or leaves, the talking resumes. “It’s like someone picking the needle up off the record,” Kiere said, “then putting it back down.” On a recent Friday in June, Kiere served up 75 breakfast plates as more than 30 planes came and went. In other words, business is booming. Emily Rigg was ecstatic every time a plane lands. She was quick to introduce herself and ask everyone their name—along with asking if they have a dog and also, one time, asking how they cut their dog’s toenails.
Emily has congenital microcephaly: Her skull fused together when she was 11 months old, something that is supposed to happen at 2 years old. Emily’s brain was never able to fully grow, giving her disabilities across the board. She struggles with fine motor skills like eye and tongue movements, and she walks with an awkward gait, but she loves talking to everyone around her and is filled with questions. She’s 15 and starting at Boise High School in the fall. Her mom, Joan, started enrolling her in Parks and Rec programs five years ago. Emily has been rafting on the Payette River and has taken many bike rides, art classes and a snowshoe trip. Joan has always wanted her daughter to experience the Wilderness Within Reach trip but because the program only takes five participants, it usually fills up fast. Finally, this year was their chance. Joan is patient but firm with Emily. When Emily starts talking too quickly and becomes impossible to understand, Joan says, “Slow down,” and Emily does. Joan talks to Emily the way she’d talk to anyone else and even makes jokes about Emily dating a pilot

someday for the perks. Joan said she hasn’t always been so patient. “I come from an upbringing of very well-educated, driven people where it’s all about academics,” Joan said. “There’s a lot of value in that, but Emily has taught me so much about what life is really all about. It’s about living each moment, loving where you’re at. Celebrating what you can do. She’s really taught me how to enjoy myself in a way I probably didn’t know how to do 20

Therapeutic on Its Own The Wilderness Within Reach program has gone through several reinventions. When Boise pilot and appraiser Joe Corlett started the program 27 years ago, it was as a day trip. He would fly 20 people with physical and intellectual disabilities into a backcountry airstrip, where they would all have lunch. The trouble was that they’d all do fine on the smooth morning flight when the air was

years ago. “At first, you think they’re going to be an anchor,” she continued. “Then you find out that they’re not. Growing up with Emily, she’s brought more back to me than I’ve given to her.” This trip is especially important for Emily because at home, Joan said, she’s hooked on electronics. “It’s kind of like her friend. She can’t surf YouTube enough, or watch enough movies. That’s just what she does,” Joan said. “So to see her out here, experiencing a really good time and interacting with people without electronics, that’s a neat thing to see.” She took a picture of Emily playing cards with some of the other kids, because it was a big deal. “Even to sit and watch her play Uno— that’s just wonderful, that she can just sit around and interact,” Joan said. “That’s incredible.”

Sulphur Creek Ranch and asked if the owners would be willing to host the program. The participant list was whittled down to a more manageable five guests plus family members, and they could come to a place with delicious food, cabins, showers and electric blankets on every bed. “All they need to bring is a toothbrush,” Corlett said. The three-day trip is far from structured recreational therapy. The families simply get to relax. They have a pond to swim and

cold, but after lunch when they flew out— and the air was warmer—the ride became a lot bumpier. The results were unpleasant, to say the least. Then he decided to fly the group into the Johnson Creek airstrip, where they could camp overnight, but packing all the tents, camping gear, food and wheelchairs became a tremendous amount of work. “Back in the early days, in my naivete, I was trying to get people to Chamberlain Basin as quickly as possible” Corlett said. “We had a whole gob of wheelchairs, so I put them in the private aircrafts and the people in the charter planes. The charter planes were going 170 miles per hour, and the Cessnas, they only went 100 miles per hour. So I got there and here are all my guests and they’re all propped up against pine trees, scattered around the campsite waiting for their chairs.” Six or seven years ago, he contacted
meaning he has cysts on either side of his brain. The part of his brain that controls muscles is pretty much non-functional. “It’s challenging because we have two disabled kids in the home and they both have different needs,” Joe said. “Ehnayah needs a catheter four times a day, and Alex, he just needs help with everything.” Leslee homeschools Alex and runs an in-home daycare, and Joe fights wildfires in the summer. They get by, but it’s not easy. Without a scholarship, the family couldn’t

fish in, a hammock, card games, campfires and, of course, the horses. Sonya Buchholz, the adaptive recreation specialist for Parks and Recreation, said this isn’t the time for therapy. “The nature of recreation in itself is therapeutic,” she said on the last evening, looking into the coals of the campfire. “There’s some programs where it really is focusing on discussing our feelings, analyzing them. I think there’s a ton of value in that, but I also think there’s value in just enjoying these experiences, not having to break it down. It’s therapeutic on its own.” For Joe Salinas and his longtime girlfriend, Leslee Martinez, this is the only vacation they’ll take this summer. Joe and Leslee have six kids. Two of them—Alex and Ehnayah, both 9 years old—have disabilities. Ehnayah has spina bifida, which affects her bladder and bowels. Alex is in a wheelchair and has periventricular leukomalacia,
have afforded the trip at all. “When I was a kid, we used to go to our cabin all summer long,” Leslee said. “But I can’t just throw the kids in the car and go to the cabin. I’m just so glad that Alex and Ehnayah got chosen to do this.” The first time Alex told his mom he wished he could run with the other kids, she didn’t know what to say. “I’ve always thought, if there’s something I can do for my son, something that will help him, I’ll do anything to make sure it happens. The more normal I can make Alex’s life for him, I will always make sure to take those opportunities,” she said. This was also the first time either child had flown before—and they loved it. Alex giggled uncontrollably when the horses approached his wheelchair in the evenings and Ehnayah made fast friends with Meghan and Dayl. Above all, the kids seemed simply happy.
BOISE WEEKLY.COM
“For what those two have been through, they are very happy kids,” Leslee said. “Those two are probably happier than our other four kids, who don’t have disabilities.” The two step-siblings are close. When Alex wakes up in the morning, Ehnayah likes to help him get dressed. Then sometimes they decide to go back to bed and Ehnayah lays with Alex until he falls asleep. Leslee thinks they understand each other in a different way. On the morning of June 24, a Cessna Cardinal flew into Sulphur Creek Ranch and came to a stop right in front of the outside tables and chairs. Several pilots recognized the plane and rushed over to help. They opened the door and pulled a wheelchair out of the back, assisting Rex LaGrone out of his airplane. Rex flew over from Twin Falls, where he works in the IT department at St. Luke’s Hospital, to show the kids that it’s possible to fly planes even in a wheelchair. Rex’s neck was broken in a car accident when he was 24 years old. He always had the desire to fly, so he talked his wife into getting her pilot’s license—an idea she was not thrilled about. She ended up loving the sky, and Rex was happy to sit in the seat to her right. Then, one evening at a party with other pilots, Rex got into a conversation
with someone about how he had always wanted to fly but couldn’t. The pilot asked him why not. “Isn’t it obvious?” Rex asked. No, it wasn’t obvious. Much like for retrofitting a car, hand controls exist for planes, too. Rex bought a set and found what he called a “brave” instructor; he got his license in 1996. Now he and his wife wrestle over who gets to fly. “Most of the problems I have when I fly are problems I would have if I wasn’t in a wheelchair,” said Rex. “It was a struggle for me to do it, but it wasn’t impossible. I’ve had a lot of encouragement and so maybe, I can be encouraging for someone else.” He paused as tears came to his eyes. “It’s interesting how that still chokes me up,” he said. Alex and Meghan were especially interested in the plane. Rex’s wife, Kathy, explained how the hand controls attach to the pedals on the floor and wrap around Rex’s forearm. That way, he can control the rudder and the brakes. With help from his friends, Rex took his time to load himself back into the plane. “We’re late everywhere we go,” Kathy joked. They took off, just like every other plane, lifting the needle off the record of the ranch.
Access to the Land Corlett started the Wilderness Within Reach program almost three decades ago partially as a response to a group of people who insisted that airplanes do not belong in designated wilderness areas. He saw it as an opportunity to make a point: If you take planes out of the backcountry, you’re cutting off an entire population of people who could never experience Idaho’s wilderness without them. “The certain segment that didn’t want airplanes here went on record saying, ‘Well those people have other opportunities like public parks,’” Corlett said. “That really got me going because that’s just ridiculous. This is a treasure back here.” There are around 75 backcountry airstrips in Idaho, more than any other state in the country. Without them, Sulphur Creek Ranch could never sell enough breakfasts to stay in business. Through Wilderness Within Reach, Corlett has shown the backcountry to children and adults with disabilities as well as military veterans struggling to readjust after deployment. “A couple of years ago, there was a veteran with us who had a stroke. He said he laid around a couple of years feeling sorry for himself, then got back to life and found the
[Boise Parks and Rec] AdVenture program. Then he saw the Salmon River. He hadn’t seen it in 30 or 40 years. He used to be a river guide,” Corlett said. “He pulled me aside and he said, ‘I never thought I would see this again. Thank you.’” On the last night of the trip, the circle around the campfire slowly started to dwindle. Leslee and Joe took Alex and Ehnayah to bed. Corlett and the other pilots called it a night as well. Joan got tired and pulled on Emily, who wanted to stay by the fire. Joan asked her if she was sure. She was. It was a big moment. “When she wanted to stay up and hang around the campfire by herself, without me, it was great,” Joan said. “I want my daughter to not want me around. ... I hope she finds friends like her and wants to go live in an apartment with modified help someday. I hope to see her out in the community. These sort of experiences, outside the family, that’s what’s going to get her to do those things.” The final morning at Sulphur Creek Ranch was filled with the sound of propellers and high-pitched engines. Each family climbed into separate planes and took off, leaving the backcountry behind.

The race is slated for Saturday, July 11, with events scheduled from 12:30 p.m. to 9:45 p.m. Races begin at 2:45 p.m., with pro cyclists set to compete at 6:45 p.m. The course runs a loop through downtown, starting and ending at Ninth Street, and more than 300 cyclists will compete in races throughout the day, including men’s and women’s USA Crit Championship races. Festivities kick off with a kid’s race led by two-time Olympic gold medalist Kristin Armstrong. New this year is the GreenBike Celebrity Ride, in which local celebrities are invited to ride the course with one of the new Boise GreenBikes. 12:30 p.m.-9:45 p.m., $35-$60.

It seems counterintuitive to hang out next to a fire during this summer’s historic high temperatures, but Campfire Stories at the Modern Hotel and Bar are more about warming the soul and setting creativity aflame. Produced by Christian Winn and co-sponsored by Boise Radio, the program features two of Idaho’s premier literary figures each Monday evening through September. This particular Campfire Stories session will showcase Joel Wayne and Matthew RK Haynes, who will read their work in the light of crackling fires (and sundown) in the Modern courtyard. Campfire Stories are open to the public and available later in podcast form at radioboise.us. 8 p.m.-10 p.m., FREE. The Modern Hotel and Bar, 1314 West Grove St. themodernhotel.com.

Rediscovered Books and Guru Donuts invite parents and kids to Tuesday morning story time, launching July 14 and continuing through late October at the donut shop, which breaks the mold of traditional story readings. “We love donuts, we love kids, and of course, we love story time,” said Bruce DeLaney, co-owner of Rediscovered Books. “The event is free but for $5, you can get two donuts, one adult drink and one kids drink,” DeLaney said. “Each Rediscovered employee will be coming to Guru to share some of our favorite picture books.” Tuesdays, 10 a.m.-11 a.m., FREE-$5.

MID-YEAR MUSIC Some great local releases (so far) in 2015 BEN SCHULTZ Even with about six months left, 2015 has been a good year for local music. In addition to Treefort Music Fest breaking even for the first time, musicians who call the Treasure Valley home have put out high-quality work. Below are some of the year’s standouts so far.
BUILT TO SPILL, UNTETHERED MOON Many Boise Weekly readers probably know about or own Untethered Moon (Warner Bros., 2015), Built to Spill’s first album since the slightly lackluster There is No Enemy (Warner Bros., 2009). With Jason Albertini’s bass and Stephen Gere’s drums adding extra force to BTS’ signature guitar pyrotechnics, those who haven’t heard it should consider picking up this return to form, which showcases a raucous energy injected into winsome tunes and ruminative lyrics.
EILEN JEWELL, SUNDOWN OVER GHOST TOWN “You ease my worried mind,” Eilen Jewell sings on the lead track of her new album. Many of the songs that follow clarify just how worried her mind can get. 18 | JULY 8–14, 2015 | BOISEweekly
On Sundown Over Ghost Town (Signature Sounds, 2015), Jewell meditates on hard times, failed relationships, and the corrosive effects of development and industrialization on the Idaho landscape. Her assured vocals and pristine folk, blues and country melodies help the somberness go down. Some fans may miss her earlier albums’ touches of surf and rockabilly, but Jewell compensates with some of her sharpest, most detailed lyrics to date.
SUN BLOOD STORIES, TWILIGHT MIDNIGHT MORNING In terms of dramatic power, sonic daring and pure pleasure, Twilight Midnight Morning (Obsolete Media Objects, 2015) leaves most so-called psychedelic albums of recent vintage in the dust. Hypnotic basslines and supple drumming flow with keening guitars, screeching viola, moaned vocals and a plethora of trippy noises. This may well be the best local release of the year.
Lester praised the group’s “lush, wan electronic dreampop” in a June blogpost for The Guardian. “Shades are a four-piece from Boise, Idaho, but they sound like a lonely laptop boy from a bedroom, wherever,” Lester wrote. Maybe so, but we’re happy to claim them. If you didn’t pick up a copy of Common Desire (self-released, 2015) at Shades’ “soft release” show in April, don’t fret: The album will be officially released on Friday, July 31.
STEPBROTHERS, WHY THE FUCK WOULD ANYTHING NICE EVER HAPPEN?
Between family issues, struggling with insecurities, and dealing with responsibilities like jobs and kids, growing up can suck. The pained lyrics on melodic hardcore band Stepbrothers’ latest album illustrate this sad truth in great detail. Why the Fuck (WavePOP Records, 2015) doesn’t wallow in despair, though: The anthemic tunes and thunderous performances reflect the group’s drive to endure and persevere, ANDY BYRON, THE as do touches of humor, such as the taped chatter JOURNEY about the Star Wars prequels and song titles like In some musical genres, “You’re a Doctor. Is This a Mole?” and “I’m Not a maturity can prove problematic. In country, however, it can Doctor. That’s a Raisin.” make an artist’s work richer.

HOLLOW WOOD, WALLFLOWER EP Wallflower (self-released, 2015) is worth purchasing just for “Little Bird,” the guaranteed showstopper of every Hollow Wood live performance. However, the rest of the EP is almost as tuneful and rousing. For example, Adam Jones bares his fangs as a lyricist on “Crucifix,” which rails against an oppressive religious upbringing.

Boise will get a taste of Gulf Coast soul music this week when Houston-based band The Suffers play during Alive After Five. This band is like a jazzy R&B soul orchestra not only because it is 10 members large, but because The Suffers can fill an auditorium with its classic-meets-contemporary sound, thanks to horn-filled tracks and singer Kam Franklin’s rich, honeyed voice. The Suffers have only been around for about four years but in their short time, they’ve taken home a trawler full of Houston Press Music Awards for their new-vintage sound, including best drummer, best songwriter and musician of the year. They’re the ones who will need to make room for more accolades: Their recent EP Make Some Room (Rhyme and Reason Records, 2015) is likely just a hint of what’s to come from The Suffers.

In the opening moments of Amy—a shattering, don’t-look-away documentary on the life, destruction and, sadly, death of Amy Winehouse—we see a group of British teens celebrating a friend’s birthday in 1998. One of the 14-year-old girls pulls a Tootsie Pop out of her mouth just long enough to sing a few bars of “Happy Birthday.” A stunning voice, unlike any other, emerges. We know by now that the voice belonged to Amy Winehouse, and we can only guess what her acquaintances must have been thinking when they heard her sing for the first time. In the next minute of the film, we are treated to a recording of Winehouse, described as an awkward 16-year-old in 2000, singing a jazzy rendition of “Moon River” with the U.K.’s National Youth Jazz Orchestra, while she talks about her idol Tony Bennett. Eleven years later, Winehouse would stand next to Bennett in London’s Abbey Road Studio recording a duet of the jazz standard “Body and Soul.” By then, however, Winehouse would have spiraled in and out of countless medical crises due to her serious alcohol and drug addiction—she was prescribed antidepressants at the age of 16. While attempting to sing with Bennett, Winehouse was too star-struck to perform, leading her to nearly walk away from the recording session, saying “I’ve never done anything like this. I’m sorry.” Bennett, the very model of a gentleman, softly says to Winehouse’s back, “You’re not in any hurry are you? You sound wonderful.” She turns, smiles, returns to the mic and records a version of “Body and Soul” that will outlive all of us. That’s only one of countless heartbreaking moments in Amy, which begins with her other-side-of-the-tracks childhood follows her trajectory to super stardom and ends with the 27-year-old’s body being carried from her
mits was the abandonment of his family when Amy was 9 years old and ending with a number of impromptu appearances at rehab facilities where Amy was trying to kick her addictions. Making matters worse, Mitch sold himself as the centerpiece of a British television reality series, with the unsavory title “My Daughter Amy,” in which he attempts to portray himself as a savior. It’s gut-wrenching stuff. But don’t shy away from Amy. This movie also has many moments of joy and wonder. Winehouse’s label, Universal Music UK, commissioned director Asif Kapadia (Senna) to make the film, giving him full creative control and enviable access to Winehouse’s song catalogue. Kudos also go to editor Chris King and composer Antonio Pinto for bridging so many of Winehouse’s live performances with a new original score for the movie. It was also heart-warming to relive some familiar moments, captured on video, from Winehouse’s career, including her first American television appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman (she would return two more times), and the night in February 2009 when she swept the Grammy Awards—it was Tony Bennett who announced Winehouse had won the Grammy for Album of the Year. Unfortunately, following the Grammy ceremony, we watch a sober Winehouse pull childhood friend Juliette Ashby aside and say with sadness that life “was so boring without drugs.” Winehouse would return to heroin, crack cocaine and alcohol, devolving into the living dead and the punchline of too many jokes. On July 21, 2013, Winehouse called Ashby for what would be the last time, leaving the following message: “I’m so Amy (R) opens Friday, July 10 at The Flicks in Boise. sorry. I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry.” Two days later, Winehouse was dead. Everything you may have heard about Mitch Winehouse, has issued a statement claiming the film is “both misleading and con- Amy it is true, and then some, so see it with an open heart. As a matter of fact, see it with tains some basic untruths.” He really only has two. This film will have such an emotional himself to blame. Mitch appears throughout impact, you’ll need them. the documentary, beginning with what he adLondon flat, with what a physician would later say, “a blood alcohol level 45 times higher than the drunk-driving limit.” You may have heard this fabulous documentary has already spawned significant controversy since its explosive debut at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival. Even though filmmakers secured full cooperation from the Winehouse estate, a spokesman for the late singer’s father,

2914 ARCA NOVA VINHO VERDE, $8.99 The aromas are a light but lovely mix of floral apricot with something like a warm piece of apple pie topped with a slice of English cheddar. It’s on the soft side, with light acidity backing round, ripe stone fruit and citrus. The finish is smooth but with an edgy hit of lime zest.

With apologies to Kermit, when it comes to wine, green is easy. Portugal’s Vinho Verde (literally “green wine”) is oh-so-easy, and it goes down the same way. With a light bit of fizz, crisp fruit and low alcohol (usually 10 percent or less), serve it well-chilled, and it’s just the thing to beat the summer heat. Typically sold without a vintage and made with grapes at the front of the alphabet (alvarinho, arinto, avesso and azal, to name a few), Vinho Verde should be drunk young, within a year of bottling, when it is at its refreshing best. Here are three that are sure to please:

CASAL GARCIA VINHO VERDE, $9.99 The aromas are intriguing if a bit funky. Along with ripe Fuji apple, it has touches of yeast and bacon fat. Bright citrus dominates the front end of the palate, giving way to slightly less tangy apple and finishing with mandarin lime and orange.
DALILA VINHO VERDE, $7.99 This wine offers a surprisingly complex and enticing nose bursting with aromas of apple, sugared lime and blood orange. There’s a nice richness to the palate as crisp lemon and lime are beautifully balanced by lush, ripe peach. Citrus zest and a touch of mineral come through on the tangy finish. —David Kirkpatrick BOISE WEEKLY.COM

PLAYABOULE V1 LIGHTED GLOW LED BOCCE SET Fun fact: The game of bocce ball is older than democracy. And the pyramids. And Stonehenge. And the wheel. According to the World Bocce League (worldbocce.org), the first documentation of bocce ball comes from a painting in an Egyptian tomb dated to 5200 BCE—coincidentally, or maybe not, around the same time that beer brewing was invented. It is truly the world’s game: from $67.95, playaboule.com Egypt, to Palestine, to Asia Minor, Greece, Italy and your backyard, it was once reserved only for nobility, banned as a public nuisance then later featured in the 1896 Athens Olympiad. Originally played with rocks or coconuts, the technology of bocce ball has changed with the millennia. Behold, after more than 7,000 years, humanity can now play bocce ball in the dark. The V1 Lighted Glow LED Bocce Set from Playaboule is exactly what it claims to be: a set of bocce balls illuminated by LED lights. They are so much more, though. Battery operated and activated by a screw-cap toggle, the set of eight 4.2-inch International Bocce Federation regulation-size balls is made from “almost indestructible” plastic and weighs nearly 12 pounds. The V3 “deluxe” model features a “recessed push button external switch,” is water resistant and can be adjusted so the LEDs flash. As human achievements go, this one has been in the works for a long time. To quote Percy Shelley’s Ozymandias, “Look on my works ye mighty, and despair.” —Zach Hagadone BOISE WEEKLY.COM

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): How can you fulfill your potential as an Aries? What strategies will help you become the best Aries you can possibly be? Now is an excellent time to meditate on these riddles. One of my Aries readers, Mickki Langston, has some stellar tips to inspire you: 1. One of your greatest assets is your relentless sense of purpose. Treasure it. Stay connected to it. Draw on it daily. 2. Love what you love with pure conviction, because there is no escaping it. 3. Other people may believe in you, but only sometimes. That’s why you should unfailingly believe in yourself. 4. It’s your duty and your destiny to continually learn more about how to be a leader. 5. Don’t be confused by other people’s confusion. 6. Your best friend is the Fool, who will guide you to laughter and humility when you need it most, which is pretty much all of the time. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): While making a long trek through the desert on a camel, British author Somerset Maugham passed the time by reading Marcel Proust’s novel In Search of Lost Time. After finishing each page, Maugham ripped it out and cast it away. The book weighed less and less as his journey progressed. I suggest that you consider a similar approach in the coming weeks, Taurus. As you weave your way toward your next destination, shed the acces-
sories and attachments you don’t absolutely need. Keep lightening your load. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “I have gathered about me people who understand how to translate fear into possibility,” writes John Keene in his story “Acrobatique.” I’d love to see you do the same, Gemini. From an astrological perspective, now is a favorable time to put your worries and trepidations to work for you. You have an extraordinary capacity to use your doubt and dread to generate opportunities. Even if you go it alone, you can accomplish minor miracles, but why not dare to think even bigger? Team up with brave and resourceful allies who want to translate fear into possibility, too. CANCER (June 21-July 22): When novelist John Irving begins a new book, his first task is to write the last line of the last page. Then he writes the second-to-last line. He continues to work backwards for a while until he has a clear understanding of the way his story will end. Right now, Cancerian, as you hatch your next big phase of development, I invite you to borrow Irving’s approach. Visualize in detail the blossoms that will eventually come from the seeds you’re planting. Create a vivid picture of the life you will be living when your plans have fully ripened.
24 | JULY 8–14, 2015 | BOISEweekly
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You have cosmic permission to lose your train of thought, forget about what was so seriously important and be weirdly amused by interesting nonsense. If stress addicts nag you to be more responsible, tell them that your astrologer has authorized you to ignore the pressing issues and wander off in the direction of nowhere in particular. Does that sound like a good plan? It does to me. For now, it’s your sovereign right to be a wise and innocent explorer with nothing much to do but wander and daydream and play around. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Even the most provocative meme cannot literally cause the Internet to collapse from overuse. It’s true that photos of Kim Kardashian’s oiled-up butt spawned a biblical flood of agitated responses on social media. So did the cover shot of Caitlyn Jenner in Vanity Fair and the YouTube video of a tiny hamster noshing tiny burritos and the season five finale of the TV show Game of Thrones. But none of these starbursts unleashed so much traffic that the Web was in danger of crashing. It’s too vast and robust for that to ever happen. Or is it? I’m wondering if Virgos’ current propensities for high adventure and rollicking melodrama could generate phenomena that would actually, not just metaphorically, break the Internet. To be safe, I suggest you
enjoy yourself to the utmost, but not more than the utmost. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to acquire a new title. It’s quite possible that a person in authority will confer it upon you, and that it will signify a raise in status, an increase in responsibility or an expansion of your clout. If for some reason this upgrade doesn’t occur naturally, take matters into your own hands. Tell people to refer to you as “Your Excellency” or “Your Majesty.” Wear a name tag that says “Deputy Director of Puzzle-Solving” or “Executive VicePresident of Fanatical Balance and Insane Poise.” For once in your life, it’s OK to risk becoming a legend in your own mind. P.S. It wouldn’t be a bad time to demand a promotion—diplomatically, of course, in the Libran spirit. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Between now and July 22, your password and mantra and battle cry is “serendipity.” To make sure you are clear about its meaning, meditate on these definitions: a knack for uncovering surprising benefits by accident; a talent for stumbling upon timely help or useful resources without searching for them. Got that? Now I’ll provide clues that should help you get the most out of your lucky breaks and blessed twists: 1. Be curious and receptive, not lackadaisical and
entitled. 2. Expect the unexpected. Vow to thrive on surprises. 3. Your desires are more likely to come true if you are unattached to them coming true. But you should formulate those desires clearly and precisely. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): On behalf of the Strange Angels in Charge of Uproarious Beauty and Tricky Truths, I am pleased to present you with the award for Most Catalytic Fun-Seeker and Intriguing Game-Changer of the Zodiac. What are your specific superpowers? You’re capable of transforming rot into splendor. You have a knack for discovering secrets that have been hidden. I also suspect that your presence can generate magic laughter and activate higher expectations and wake everyone up to the interesting truths they’ve been ignoring. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Who is it that can tell me who I am?” asks King Lear in the Shakespeare play named after him. It’s a painful moment. The old boy is confused and alarmed when he speaks those words. But I’d like to borrow his question and transplant it into a very different context: Your life right now. I think that you can engender inspirational results by making it an ongoing meditation. There are people in a good position to provide you with useful insights into who you are.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): What’s hard but important for you to do? What are the challenging tasks you know you should undertake because they would improve your life? The coming days will be a favorable time to make headway on these labors. You will have more power than usual to move what has been nearly impossible to move. You may be surprised by your ability to change situations that have resisted and outfoxed you in the past. I’m not saying that any of this will be smooth and easy. But I bet you will be able to summon unprecedented amounts of willpower and perseverance. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Franz Kafka produced three novels, a play, four short fiction collections and many other stories. Yet some of his fellow writers thought he was uncomfortable in expressing himself. Bertolt Brecht said Kafka seemed perpetually afraid, as if he were being monitored by the cops for illicit thoughts. Milena Jesenská observed that Kafka often wrote like he was sitting naked in the midst of fully clothed people. Your assignment in the coming weeks is to shed such limitations and inhibitions from your own creative expression. What would you need to do to free your imagination? To get started, visualize five pleasurable scenarios in which you feel joyful, autonomous, generous and expansive. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Dear Minerva, I’ve had my trust broken many times and had my heart broken more than once. Recently, I met someone I really like, but I don’t know if I can allow myself to “fall in love.” How can one open their heart back up to love after being on the shelf for so many years? —Fella Needs His Groove Back
Dear Fella, Ask yourself this: Can I spend the rest of my life gathering dust on this shelf? Your answer should be “No,” followed promptly by standing up and climbing down off the shelf. Dust yourself off. Open your heart, but don’t close your mind. Approach this relationship slowly; you have been out of the game so allow yourself to warm up. Before you take any plunges, write down the things that are important for you to maintain for yourself while in a relationship. All of those heartbreaks are lessons in discovering who you are and what you want —and don’t want—out of love. With those things as your guide and influencing every decision, you will know what to do. Don’t deny yourself love just because people have broken your heart and your trust. Remember, sugar pie, when it comes to love, you have to kiss a lot of frogs. If you can’t do it, then say “Hi” to the Hummel and Precious Moments figurines for me.

WARM UP Following the hottest June ever recorded in Boise history, and a record-tying string of 100degree days that stretched into July, Jay Breidenbach, meteorologist at the National Weather Service, says some of this summer’s worst is yet to come. “[Looking] 30 to 60 days into the future, it looks like the entire Western United States, including all of Idaho, will have above-normal temperatures continuing. Further into the summer, I think we’re going to see some more wildfire activity and that could result in some really smoky skies for us,” said Breidenbach. “Looking a little further, we need to remember that this will be an El Nino year; that usually means a warmer, drier winter for the northwest. That’s not good, especially when you think how dry it was last winter.” Breidenbach says he tries to be optimistic. “The evenings are sort of nice, aren’t they? That’s positive.” —George Prentice
