EDITOR’S NOTE FROM SNOW TO SOLEMNITY The snow won’t fly in the Treasure Valley for some time but when it comes, we want you to be ready. As we get closer to Thanksgiving—and with it, the traditional opening date of most regional ski resorts—Boise Weekly has compiled a calendar of on- and off-the-slopes events to help keep you busy through the short, dark days leading into February. We cast our net beyond the Treasure Valley to include McCall and Sun Valley, and while we’re sure we missed a few worthy events, it’s a good starting place to plan your winter adventures. Find the calendar on Page 18. Just because it’s cold doesn’t mean camping season is over. On Page 24, BW staff writer Jessica Murri profiles the many yurts available for rent throughout southwestern Idaho—some more luxurious and accessible than others, but all awesome opportunities to experience Idaho’s backcountry and its peace and quiet. Aside from snow, we also note the coming of Veteran’s Day on Wednesday, Nov. 11, with a pair of pieces by BW News Editor George Prentice. On Page 10, we take a look at the expanding services for veterans at Boise State University, as well as a new weeklong remembrance on campus set to begin Monday, Nov. 9. Meanwhile, the local chapter of Vietnam Veterans of America is planning the first Vietnam War memorial in the Treasure Valley—four decades after the conflict officially ended. Finally, on Page 29, Prentice reviews a documentary on the Battle of Khe Sanh from Idaho co-producers Ken and Betty Rodgers. The feature-length film, Bravo! Common Men, Uncommon Valor, has already earned praise from film festivals around the country for its unflinching exploration of one of the bloodiest actions of a controversial war. As it reads in the opening frames of the film: “This is not a pro-war film. This is not an anti-war film. This is a film about what happened.” That, in itself, is a fitting memorial. —Zach Hagadone

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

OPINION PORTRAIT OF A ‘PATRIOT’ The road from malcontent to malicious lout BILL COPE If you haven’t already, I recommend you read Harrison Berry’s fine, even-handed feature “Paradise Lost” (Boise Weekly, Oct. 7, 2015) on that collection of delusional attention-grabbing bums, collectively calling themselves the Patriot Movement. We have seen more and more of these DAGBs (delusional, attention-grabbing bums) in recent years, largely because they have grown more and more successful at grabbing attention. Two DAGB organizations discussed in Berry’s piece is one calling itself “III Percent Idaho”—invoking the memory of the 3 percent of colonials said to have actually fought in the American Revolution—and the Oath Keepers, claiming to be comprised of ex-cops and military veterans who stand by the oath they took to defend the United States Constitution. In public discussion, as reflected in Berry’s reporting, they like to portray themselves as nonpartisan, knights errant whose only motive is to protect besieged private citizens from the ravages of liberty-snatching government. In reality, they are thuggish goons whose only gravitas comes from the hovering stink of imminent violence. They are antagonizers, not arbitrators; instigators, not intermediaries. When they show up in troubled circumstance like Ferguson, Mo., or Cliven Bundy’s squat in Nevada, they are not there to negotiate. They are there to intimidate. They don’t bring arguments to a confrontation. They bring guns. Guns are what they want us to remember them by. Guns are central to their consciousness, the organizing principle of their fevered hysteria. Without their guns, they would be no more significant than Internet trolls or angry drunken assholes who slam walls with their fists. They might as well engrave it into the barrels—You don’t want to know what’s going to happen if you don’t do it our way. (During Berry’s interview with the Chris McIntyre, “public information officer” of III Percent Idaho, McIntyre threatened, “You can write whatever you want, but I guarantee you this: If it is not in line with the truth, if it is not in line with what we represent, you can expect 2,000 people to crowd these streets to block traffic,” referring to the streets outside BW offices.) Even as dissatisfied with so many aspects of modern America as I am (made clear in 20 years of this column), it is alien to me that men of any intelligence or historical awareness whatsoever could turn into such swaggering, noxious, AR-swinging golems as we see over and over again, congregating in venomous clots around private citizen/government official disputes like flies on shit. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Allow me to speculate on how a DAGB might develop: From early on, he pictured himself the lone wolf—was always right when everyone else was wrong, claimed to know things no one else knew, was confident in his conviction that he was the smartest kid in the crowd—no matter how slow, slothful, backwards or weak he really was. In time, he came to be increasingly alone, largely because of his obsessive behavior. As he grew—physically, if not intellectually or emotionally—he became evermore disdainful of all those sell-outs and compromisers who turned their backs on childish pretensions as they became better educated than him, better adapted than him, better citizens than him, better husbands and fathers than him. He came to despise them, those grown-up, reasonable phonies who no longer thought machine guns and manic paranoia were cool—although on his own, he couldn’t quite voice a coherent vision of why he was so disturbed. Not without outside help. And that’s where the recruiters came in, the Limbaughs and Becks, the Fox News liars and Tea Party loons—screeching the same doctrine of discontent and disruption that now defined him. They drew him ever deeper into bitterness, and directed it toward the goal of bringing down any authority wasn’t them. He’d found his crowd. He became one with the militiamen, the gunmen, for a full-out assault on the peaceful democratic process with which he had grown so impatient. He and his guns had found a mission. Now he’d show those adults who’s the boss. So, if I’m anywhere near to being right, we’re not really talking about men of any intelligence or historical awareness, are we? That is the mistake we make when we listen to their selfrighteous justifications of why they should be allowed to inject their firearm-centric, infantile crudity into public matters that concern every citizen in this country. That is the mistake we make in taking them any more seriously as thinkers than we would take a rattlesnake into our house as a pet. Incidentally, I have not wondered how women come to be that way, because few women come to be that way. And those who do, do so almost certainly because that’s where their mates led them. I would love to ask Amanda Miller, for instance, if she would have ever in her short life imagined she would put a bullet through her own head—Las Vegas, last year, look it up—after she and her husband Jerad killed two cops and a third innocent victim, had not she hooked up with such a psycho, anti-government “patriot” as Jerad.

OPINION IDOC’S TECH PROBLEM A former employee’s take on a flawed system MICHAEL CHACON Editor’s note: Michael Chacon has worked in IT and business management for more than 25 years. He was a business analyst for three years at the Idaho Department of Correction until his position was eliminated. Now that U.S. District Judge David O. Carter has ruled the Idaho Department of Correction misled the court and is responsible for the destruction and improper manipulation of offender medical records, it may be time to take a closer look at the underlying causes of these misdeeds. A recurring theme permeated the hearings in July: IDOC information systems do not provide what is necessary to professionally administer the second largest agency in the state of Idaho. The hearing testimony centered on the tampering of “primary logs” and “sex offender assessment process” documents. Despite being essential to offender care they are external Microsoft Word and Excel documents, rather than part of the offender management application. IDOC is essentially run on isolated documents, rather than an integrated offender management system. IDOC may as well run the agency on 3-inch by 5-inch index cards. Well, they do. “During our research, myself and several others from the Management Services Division within IDOC learned that more than one person used sticky notes to manage their caseloads due to poor reliability of the systems.” said program manager Brian Fariss, who testified in July. A professional offender management system would maintain a clear, unalterable record of who made changes and retain copies of the original information. This is basic IT stuff. Eighty percent of the hearing testimony could have been reduced to a system printout of the change history. The reason IDOCs computer system does not support the professional management of the agency is it is actually two independent software programs. One program is so antiquated the software is no longer supported. The other system, CIS, was set up in 2000 to replace the obsolete software. Working with several other states to customize CIS, the department formalized its relationships and shared the software, establishing the National Consortium of Offender Management Systems in 2004. In 2008 the Federal Bureau of Justice Assistance awarded a $1.2 million grant to NCOMS—administered by IDOC—to fund further development of CIS to support standards published by the Corrections Technology Association. A decade later, Idaho’s CIS still doesn’t support the functionality necessary to run IDOC, and is riddled with technical and functional problems. 6 | NOVEMBER 4–10, 2015 | BOISEweekly

IDOC used to have a Project Management Office, which coordinated the requirements of independent departments to ensure functional integration with the overall organization. For example, the PMO was responsible for properly shutting down a system that had been publishing inaccurate reports for years. “I had been requesting help for years from IDOC to provide information, such as offender programming scheduling and effectiveness, accurate parole dates and other information,” said Olivia Craven, retired executive director of the Commission of Pardons and Parole. “Information provided by IDOC was different than ours and it never made sense to me since we used the same system. After the PMO got involved my paper records matched the new reports.” Unfortunately this corroboration of data and close collaboration with the commission was not met with open arms. Cathy McCabe, manager of Research and Analysis, who recently left IDOC, led the effort to shut down the flawed, isolated information system so she could have an accurate source of data for research. “We were told by IDOC senior leadership that assisting the Parole Commission was a low priority,” McCabe said. What is particularly disconcerting is a professional offender management system under development, funded by the $1.2 million federal grant, was shut down last year by then-Deputy Director Kevin Kempf. This was after the PMO had revitalized the $1.2 million grant. Montana and Idaho decided to rejoin efforts and use the remaining $500,000 to realize the NCOMS vision. Montana agreed to place its improved code, which had resolved many of the CIS problems, under NCOMS. This would have allowed Idaho to leapfrog years of development cost and effort to deliver a production system with the functionality to properly administer IDOC. However, during this effort Kempf, ignoring professional advice, disbanded the PMO, disrupting the entire development process. As a result, Montana withdrew from the relationship. A few months later, Kempf, newly appointed as IDOC director, eliminated the business analyst positions and isolated the PMO, ensuring it could not function as accepted best practice requires. This same IDOC leadership group is still scrambling to understand and mitigate the implications of their inexperienced decisions ranging from IT to prisoner health care and treatment. As one staff member said, “IDOC is run more like a homeowners association rather than the second largest agency in the state of Idaho.” Hang onto your wallets. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

More services welcome, assist student vets at Boise State Boise Parks and Rec: “Everybody is on board. We’re always excited to work with veterans.”

VETS PLAN TREASURE VALLEY’S FIRST VIETNAM MEMORIAL More than a half-century after serving his nation, U.S. Air Force veteran Tony Lubacky will spend this Veterans Day at a table near the entrance of an Albertsons in Eagle telling people about the efforts of the local chapter of the Vietnam Veterans of America to build the Treasure Valley’s first Vietnam Veterans memorial—four decades after the official end of the conflict. “We lost approximately 217 Idahoans in Vietnam,” said Lubacky. “It’s long past the time to honor them with a memorial.” VVA Chapter No. 1025 approached the city of Boise earlier this year with a proposal to place a monument in Veterans Memorial Park, which will be modeled after the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. “We’ve been working on this idea for a couple of years now, and this year we were ready to talk to the city of Boise about installing the memorial in Veterans Memorial Park,” said Lubacky. “Twin Falls has a Vietnam Veterans Memorial, so does Idaho Falls. We don’t have one.” The city leases Veterans Memorial Park from the state of Idaho, so state officials and the Idaho Veterans Advisory Council first needed to sign off on the idea. “And everybody is on board,” said Jerry Pugh, Community Programs coordinator at Boise Parks and Recreation. “We’re always pretty excited to work with veterans organizations.” The memorial would be installed on the pathway leading to the memorial plaza, but Pugh said it may be moved a bit farther down the path in the future. “Details are still being worked out, but there are discussions about having all of the memorials at the end of the pathway to create a new veterans memorial plaza,” said Pugh. Lubacky said VVA Chapter No. 1025 has already reached out to Meridian-based Memorial Monuments about the design, but a project like theirs isn’t cheap. “We’re going to sell commemorative bricks to the public,” he added. “That’s why you’ll see vets at Albertsons and Rosauers grocery stores in Boise, Eagle and Meridian. Once we talk to people about the idea, they love it and agree that it’s long overdue.” —George Prentice 8 | NOVEMBER 4–10, 2015 | BOISEweekly

GEORGE PRENTICE War was hell. For Ken Rodgers, coming home was something worse. “I joined the Marines when I was a freshman in college. When I came home…” Rodgers said, pausing to think about his next words. “I remember flying home. My parents, my best friend and his girlfriend… they were all there to meet me, and I remember going to a Mexican restaurant and I was pretty animated. I started talking about my experience in Vietnam, but all I saw was the top of everyone’s head. They were all looking down. I felt as if I had done something wrong. I went back to college and held a number of jobs over the years. And I promise you, no one ever knew that I was in Vietnam, let alone the Marine Corps.” That was then. Today, Rodgers and his wife, Betty, are accomplished filmmakers. Their film, Bravo! Common Men, Uncommon Valor—chronicling the siege of Khe Sanh, one of the toughest engagements of the Vietnam conflict (see Screen, Page 29)—has taken them to film festivals and veteran symposiums across the nation. “The biggest difference is that there are so many healthy discussions about being a veteran today,” said Rodgers. “I don’t care if you were fighting for the Romans or fighting in Afghanistan, it’s especially hard on your soul if you’re young.” Mark Heilman was 19 years old when he left his family of Russian immigrant farmers in North Dakota to join the U.S. Army, taking him to the demilitarized zone on the border of North and South Korea. It was 1976 when he first set foot on the campus of Boise State University, which he attended on the GI Bill. Forty years later, he walks across the same campus to the offices of Veterans Upward Bound, where he serves as project director. “I think the whole campus community of support for vets is so exponentially different, and that’s what drew me to this project,” Heilman said, pointing to his offices, where he and his team prepare veterans for post-secondary education. “This is a moment in time to look at things a little differently for vets. The administration and faculty tell me, especially lately, ‘We want to do what’s right for the vet,’” he said. “Look at the organizations in the Boise State community now. Half of them didn’t exist even 10 years ago.”

“Salute,” by artist Kay Kirkpatrick, was erected outside the Boise State University Student Union Building and dedicated on Veterans Day 2008.

Heilman and Lori Sprague, interim director of Veterans Services, hope to grow that support even more by expanding Boise State’s celebration of Veterans Day in a big way—they want to make Monday, Nov. 9 through Friday, Nov. 13 “Veterans Week.” “To begin with, we’re going to give each branch of the service a day of commemoration,” said Sprague. “Monday, Nov. 9 will be for the Army; Tuesday for the Marines; Thursday for the Navy; and Friday for the Air Force. In the middle of all of that is Wednesday, Nov. 11, the national holiday to celebrate all veterans.” Sprague said active military, veterans, family members, friends and anybody with a connection to a particular branch of service will be invited to plant a flag in the ground at the Boise State quad or tie a ribbon to a memory tree. “It should really be something to see,” she said. “It will be a bit like a field of honor.” Travis Hayes will be placing a flag on Monday, Nov. 9 to represent his own service in the U.S. Army. It has been a long time since he returned with a shattered back to his hometown of McMinnville, Ore., in 2001. “I didn’t have a whole lot of support at the time. I didn’t have anyone, and I went down a pretty dark path,” Hayes said. “But long story short, a few years ago, I decided I needed to go back to school. My daughter was born, and I wanted to give her stuff that I didn’t have. I started school at Boise State, and I haven’t looked back since. Since the day I set foot at Boise State, I’ve had mentors tell me that it was a good idea to try to leave a legacy for others. That’s some of what I’ve learned in Corinna’s class.” Corinna is Boise State professor Corinna Provant-Robishaw, who teaches a class called Transitional Foundations, a graduation require-

ment for all upperclass transfer students, with an emphasis on globalization, diversity and ethics. “One of our major components is civic engagement, and that can be a bit of a hard-sell for some students when we ask them to engage with their community,” said Provant-Robishaw. “But it’s all about ethical and critical decision making.” Provant-Robishaw and a planning community put together a full slate of events for Boise State’s Veterans Week. Provant-Robishaw said she was particularly interested in a first-of-its-kind training opportunity, open to all Boise State educators and administrators, on how to engage more fully with Boise State’s veteran population, which is estimated to be about 1,000-2,000 students and staff. The one-hour education opportunity will be offered in separate sessions on Monday, Nov. 9 and again on Tuesday, Nov. 10. “Yes, we’ll be talking about traumatic brain injury and post traumatic stress disorder—but it’s important to erase the stigma. Not every vet has those issues,” said Sprague. “It’s really about the truths versus the myths about the vet.” Heilman hopes there is greater understanding by Boise State educators about PTSD and TBI. “But in their proper context,” he said, “and to understand that most vets manage those very well.” Among the many changes for the evergrowing number of vets at Boise State is the recently announced Center of Excellence for Veteran Students, designed to recruit new veteran students and assist them through graduation. The center, which will be housed inside the Boise State Veteran Services Center, is funded through a $500,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Education. “I can’t begin to tell you how different things are on campus,” said Heilman. “It’s all about acceptance.” BOISE WEEKLY.COM

KELSEY MONTZKA-BOETTIGER

Boisean on the front line of the Serbian border crisis HARRISON BERRY Amid a refugee crisis unprecedented since World War II, one Boise native is on the front lines in faraway Serbia, where hundreds of thousands of Syrians fleeing a civil war at home await entry into the European Union. Kelsey Montzka-Boettiger, a Boise State University graduate, has seen firsthand the severity of the situation and the rigors of applying for refugee status in the United States—belying the fears of some that the Gem State runs the risk of admitting terrorists into the country through the College of Southern Idaho’s refugee center. Montzka-Boettiger first studied in Serbia as a Fulbright Scholar and returned to pursue a master’s degree at the University of Nis. She currently volunteers with Refugee Aid Serbia in Belgrade, and the Youth Office in Presevo. When Boise Weekly reached Montzka-Boettiger in Belgrade via Skype, the border situation was still fluid, with nations like Croatia and Hungary alternating between allowing a trickle of refugees to enter their countries and closing off their borders entirely.

What’s your connection to the refugee crisis going on in Europe? My purpose in being here isn’t strictly for refugees but, as the crisis unfolded, it morphed into that. [Refugee Aid Serbia is] a citizen-organized humanitarian setup. We’re working with some local volunteers in the region. What are some of the stresses you deal with as a volunteer? The practice of it is having to emotionally steel yourself to re-center the broader picture when you’re working because it’s very easy to get caught up in the moment and be overwhelmed by the emotional exhaustion. It’s exhausting work for all parties. We’re primarily there to assist people who have experienced significantly more emotional trauma. Can you give us a sense of the people you work with and the things you do as a volunteer? 10 | NOVEMBER 4–10, 2015 | BOISEweekly

The program in Belgrade, at least, is primarily serving a makeshift camp that showed up near the bus station, so more and more people started sleeping in the park there. The park around the bus station and across the street has a makeshift camp, essentially. An organizer for a small sort of club and venue and independent art district that’s very close to this area started an open-air venue so they have clothing distribution in one portion and shoe distribution. We also have a packing station for food. They get a predecided amount of food, clean water and hygiene. There’s a tea and hot coffee station and a solar charging station for smartphones. That comes in waves. Since this is a volunteer effort and there’s no formalized assistance, it means we have to solicit and pass the word around ourselves, letting people know in the parks that they can get these items. They come in waves depending on who discovers us, and they take the world back to their small community.

What role is technology playing in these events? It’s playing a crucial role. Smartphones have been used and social media has been used to provide translation services. There’s actually a cache of documents and a preset website people are handing out to refugees on business cards. Refugees are using them to keep in touch with family, location services. Things are virtually tagged. If something’s tagged #refugeeswelcome, people will find a map of Belgrade with translations into Arabic for a local mosque; bus stations; bus times; what you can expect for a fair price, since many taxi cabs are taking advantage of the situation. In Croatia, there was information disseminated about minefields since there were still minefields left over and citizens were concerned about refugees running into that. How are the locals responding to the situation? It’s mixed. Primarily the reaction is positive. As a friend pointed out to me, society is still here, it’s still very contingent on authority. And since the Serbian government has taken a stridently positive stance toward refugees, that has influenced the culture. What are some of the stresses facing the government and locals? As far as the government, Serbia is not a part of the EU, so they have less access to funding. Most of the aid to refugees has come from private sources and NGOs because they really don’t have the funding to take care of this. As far as stress on the locals, this has been a boon for some sectors in that local markets are getting more business, and you have people trying to take advantage of this and artificially inflating prices. Has religion been a source of tension between refugees and locals? There’s the occasional sharing of the ISIS viral video phenomenon, but really not as much. A lot of refugees aren’t aware of the mosque here and they haven’t been going despite the efforts of the local Islamic community. There are some Idahoans who are worried ISIS may use a refugee crisis to find a way into the U.S. It’s absolutely preposterous to assert it in terms of the United States. Within my three months of working here you see the decks—the stacks—of paperwork and background checks and letters of recommendation that get people into the United States. Rumors that people aren’t being adequately screened are patently ridiculous. This shouldn’t stop us from being humanitarian toward people. The vast majority of these people don’t like ISIS. They don’t like Assad.

If the opening week of Folding Paper: The Infinite Possibilities of Origami at the Boise Art Museum is any indication, it will be one of the most popular exhibitions in recent memory. It may also be the noisiest. “At its first presentation, I would sneak into the gallery and it was loudest exhibition I had ever curated,” said Meher McArthur, a Los Angelesbased freelance Asian art historian. “Children are drawn to this as much as adults, and they were all calling to one another, ‘Come see this.’ It’s much more than you normally get in a traditional art exhibition.” McArthur’s idea to craft an exhibition of nearly 60 works by 45 artists from around the globe came to her more than a decade ago. “I was watching the documentary Between the Fold with my mouth open,” she said. “ More importantly, my husband and son were captivated. That’s when I thought, ‘Oh my God; I have to curate an exhibition of this FOLDING PAPER: THE INFINITE work.’” POSSIBILITIES OF ORIGAMI Boise will be the 11th and final stop Open now through Sunday, Jan. 17, on the Folding Paper tour, which was 2016.

The exhibition is divided into several sections, one of which covers origami’s mysterious origins—while historians guesstimate the art form began in Japan 1,600 years ago, there’s no definitive proof. Folding Paper also bridges origami to 21st century technology and its use in designing the first iPhone, space telescopes and miracles of modern medicine. “The prototype of the heart stent was an origami fold,” McArthur said. “It was first created with paper and then ultimately using bio-plastic. Origami is, quite literally, in people’s hearts.”

With some financial help from local business owner Andrew Propst (some might remember him as a Mormon missionary kidnapped in Russia in 1998), Buchanan and Maimer opened SACA, where they offer instruction, recording, mixing, mastering, management, CD printing and promotion—like bringing Seattle-based Grayskul (Friday, Nov. 6) of Rhymesayers with Divide the Poet; and Gift of Gab (Wednesday, Dec. 9) to perform at Reef. Locals Axiom Tha Wyze and Andy O. of music/dance collective Earthlings Entertainment (earthlingsentertainment.com), open for Grayskul. “Andy O.” Heikkila, working with local beat maker John Weighn as sole producer, recently released his debut solo—and, technically, the inaugural Earthlings release—I Never Went to Summer Camp (Earthlings Entertainment, 2015), a well-crafted collection of throwback tracks. “I’m not really into the ... stuff you hear on the radio nowadays about lavish lifestyles. I like to pay homage to old-school [hip-hop] culture,” Heikkila said.

Boise High School teachers use Garbology inside–and outside—the classroom HARRISON BERRY As part of a social experiment, Boise High School students in Erin Galinato’s AP environmental science classes collected plastic grocery bags. The students found them at home, in garbage cans, on the street and in stores. When they returned to class, they’d collected about 2,000 bags. Tied end to end, they stretched half a mile—enough to circle the Boise High track twice. “I wanted to see if we could wrap it around the school,” Galinato said. Students strung lengths of their grocery bag chain across the Boise High quad during the lunch hour on Oct. 9 as part of the school’s campus-wide reading of Edward Humes’ Garbology, a popular 2013 investigation into humanity’s addiction to trash. The project put a copy of the book into the hands of each Boise High student, faculty member, and most administrators and support staff. Called the “Big Read,” the book is being worked into lesson plans across disciplines, from science and english to world history. It’s the first campus-wide project of its kind at an Idaho public high school and is expected to spur independent projects and research from students. Boise High’s “Big Read” got its start after the school’s first-ever Wellness Summit in May, when students took over classrooms to deliver presentations on various wellness topics. A group of teachers got to work convincing other educators about the value of teaching with Garbology and applying for grants through the Boise School District to purchase copies of the book. The grants, totaling $14,000, have helped the school purchase 1,750 copies of Garbology. They’ve been barcoded and, at the end of the year, students will have the option of purchasing their copies or returning them to the school. “If we build it, they will come,” said English teacher Anna Daley. Garbology examines Americans’ garbage habits, from what we put in the trash to how landfills work. According to Humes, $50 billion in recyclable or reusable items and materials end up in landfills each year. During his or her lifetime, the average American will produce 102 tons of garbage. The book takes readers to Puente Hills land-

From trash to (educational) treasure.

fill in Los Angeles County—America’s largest at 500 feet high and covering 700 acres—and introduces bacteria found there that eat plastic. It also profiles people who work in or have made contributions to lessening waste, including people who work at landfills and families that have all but eliminated their trash footprint through composting, recycling and reuse. The Garbology “Big Read” dovetails with district-wide sustainability efforts. In August 2014, Idaho Center for Sustainable Agriculture President Pete Pearson received a $15,000 Boise School District grant to begin a study of the environmental features of five Boise schools. What he found shocked him: South Junior High’s halls were lit to college gymnasium standards— five times more illumination than was being used in the indoor walkways of Timberline High School. He removed 800 lights from the halls of South Junior, which saved the school 5 percent on its electricity bill and caused a calming affect on the students as they walked the hallways. “A little less lighting can change attitudes,” Pearson said. His efforts have included activities that promote a zero-waste mentality among students and staff, like school-wide composting projects; “shutdown days,” when a school unplugs all unnecessary appliances before holidays and weekends; and “zero waste days,” during which students are enlisted in waste and recycling activities. A school that produced half a Dumpster of garbage a day could, on zero waste days, reduce its trash output to a single garbage can. Faculty at Boise High have similar projects

in mind, but teachers have also incorporated Garbology into their lesson plans. During the kickoff party in the quad, students tossed plastic wrappers through hoops into recycling bins and students explored Galinato’s plastic bag classroom project. Other teachers have taken note. John Coulthard, who teaches AP economics and AP world history has introduced the text into a unit called the Culture of Consumerism alongside articles, chapters from other books and documentaries. The book illustrates concepts like supply and demand and materialism as underpinning Western civilization, but Garbology has applications in departments across the school, from physics and biology to statistics and art. “It’s a perfect book for cross-disciplinary learning,” Coulthard said. Students in Coulthard’s classes will also use the text as part of independent research projects to be presented at the end of the semester. He and other teachers said those projects may feed into a future day-long, campus-wide activity similar to the Wellness Summit, where students take over classrooms to share their learning with others. Daley said the book is a treasure trove for students and teachers because it offers educators opportunities to explore academic concepts through a common lens and take learning outside the traditional classroom setting. “We think the book has some inspiring ideas and some really interesting material for students to think about,” she said. “The book has plenty of suggestions for action, and we really like to see our students and teachers go beyond an academic discussion and into action on things.” BOISE WEEKLY.COM

With help from host Justin Zora (left), Mikey Pullman (right) is going to rewrite history

Mikey Pullman missed the one grade in elementary school when Idaho kids learn the Gem State’s history, so he has some cramming to do before the Drunken Idaho History event at PostModern Brewers (705 W. Fulton Street). The event models the popular Drunk History series on Comedy Central: celebrities get drunk and retell historical events to the best of their impaired abilities. “I’ll cover the founding of Idaho, including where the name came from,” said a non-drunk Pullman. “I’ll talk about Boise’s history itself and our relationship with the Native Americans. I’ve been doing comedy for 10 years, so I know how to get drunk and talk about stuff.” This version of Drunk History will be hosted by Grind Modern Burger general manager and generally funny guy Justin Zora; and Pullman, who was voted Best Local Comedian in our Best of Boise 2015 poll, will be joined by a drunk Rachel Baxa Borman, who competed in Boise’s Funniest Person 2015. The party starts at 8 p.m. and PostModern Brewers will offer beer and drink specials, including a “special cocktail that represents Idaho history, that we’ll make up at the last second,” Pullman said. grindmodernburger.com/postmodern-brewers BOISEweekly | NOVEMBER 4–10, 2015 | 13

This is a public service (club) announcement.

The title of this month’s Fettuccine Forum, which will take place on the third floor of Boise City Hall (150 N. Capitol Blvd.), is a mouthful. Attendees will learn about “Service Clubs: Building Community, Respecting Historic Roots and Staying Relevant.” Idaho Statesman reporter Anna Webb will moderate a panel featuring representatives from service clubs like Columbian Club, Boise Junior League, Freemasonry and Rotary Club. “I don’t know if this is a sexy topic for most people,” Webb said. “A lot of these clubs have some pretty interesting partnerships that people don’t know about.” One such collaboration is between the El Korah Shrine and Treefort Music Fest, with the former becoming one of the favorite venues of the latter. The other challenge facing these clubs is a lack of interest among young people to join. “I’ll let the panelists talk about projects they are really excited about and their strategies to attract new members,” Webb said. “The Columbian Club is trying to revive Decoration Day as a precursor to Memorial Day. It’s where people go and clean up grave sites.” The Fettuccine Forum is free to attend and starts at 5:30 p.m. boiseartsandhistory.org

“Deck the walls with boards of ollie/ fall la la la la.”

The skateboard decks up for auction at The Olympic (1009 Main St.) during the Fourth Annual Art Deck-O shouldn’t go anywhere near a rail, ramp or stairs. “This is to hang on your wall, not skate on,” said local artist and Art Deck-O organizer Kelly Knopp. “The artists are very good.” He’s not kidding. Every year, Knopp distributes 30 blank skateboard decks to local artists like himself, Erin Cunningham, Julia Green, Erin Ruiz and Cody Rutty. He gives the artists free reign and in the past, artists have decorated the decks with metal, paint or have even chopped them up. This year, Knopp took a Dremel to his board. “I made it into a four-eyed bearded guy with a weathered look,” Knopp said. “It’s tiki-ish.” Half the proceeds raised during the silent auction will go to the artists and the other half will go to Boise Hive, an all-ages rehearsal space and recording studio for local musicians. This is a 21-and-over event; bidding is open 6-10 p.m. facebook.com/ boisehive BOISE WEEKLY.COM

USTICK DENTAL’S FREE DAY OF DENTISTRY

IDAHO DANCE THEATRE FALL PERFORMANCE

The real but often unspoken health care crisis facing the country might be how many Americans simply can’t afford to take care of their teeth. The U.S. Surgeon General reports American students miss more than 51 million hours of school and employed adults lose more than 164 million hours of work each year due to dental disease. That’s reason enough for the nonprofit Dentistry From the Heart to team up with Boise’s Ustick Dental to offer a full day of free dentistry, Friday, Nov. 6. Dr. Vincent Rigby and his team of technicians will provide a day of oral care, including free extractions and cleanings 8 a.m. -4 p.m., adding they’ll try to see as many patients as possible. “It’s my way of giving back to the community,” said Rigby. “I know there are people out there that need my services but have no means to afford them.” 8 a.m.-4 p.m., FREE, Ustick Dental, 9733 Ustick Road, 208375-8720, ustickdental.com.

Idaho Dance Theatre is set to present five works by some of southern Idaho’s preeminent choreographers and dancers. Marley Burn, Jason Hartley’s meditation on the sign of a true dancer: skin burns from sliding across a vinyl dance floor. Hartley’s amazing physicality has propelled many a Trey McIntyre Project and LED performance. Marla Hansen will present Sphere of Influence, in which she explores relationships and emotions through motion. We Need to Talk, by longtime IDT performer Gonzalo Valdez, will put to dance feelings that are rarely seen but felt deeply in times of transition. Yurek Hansen’s wildcard performance promises “an amalgamation of all the tools in the theatre artist’s tool belt,” and Lydia Sakolsky-Basquill of Project Flux presents a new work performed by an all-woman dance corps. Friday, Nov. 6-Saturday, Nov. 7, 8 p.m.; Sunday, Nov. 8, 2 p.m.; $5-$30. Boise State University Special Events Center, 1910 University Dr., 208-331-9592, idahodancetheatre.org.

RED HANDS BLACK FEET, NOV. 6, NEUROLUX With its second album, We Must Fall Forever If We Survive, local post-rock instrumental band Red Hands Black Feet invites listeners on a journey through space—and to a release party Friday, Nov. 6. RHBF released its anticipated debut, These Things Are Important, in 2012. Three years is a long time to wait for a sophomore effort, but the band was busy adjusting its lineup, touring and honing its sound. We Must Fall, with its narrative of a cosmonaut who’s not sure he wants to come home, has been worth the wait. We Must Fall opens with “I Leave You and the Earth Behind,” setting the tone for RHBF’s sound, self-described as a combination of “post-rock’s dreamy contemplation, punk chaos and heavy metal intensity.” It’s a hypnotic combination that makes it easy to get on board with RHBF. —Jessica Murri With GEMS and Trite. 8 p.m., $5 adv., $8 door.

THE GOOD LIFE, NOV. 10, NEUROLUX Tim Kasher’s is a familiar face to late ’90s emo fans and to music-loving Boiseans as well. With his various projects, the Cursive frontman has been to town a few times and, fortunately, is returning, this time touring with his band The Good Life in support of its recent release, Everybody’s Coming Down (Saddle Creek, Aug. 2015). Kasher started The Good Life in 2000 as a solo side project for some of his poppier, more indie songs, which weren’t well suited for the darker Cursive concept. Everything’s more fun with friends, and soon Kasher had a group of equally talented musicians on board touring and recording with him, releasing four albums, a few singles and tracks on compilations in the band’s first seven years. Everybody’s Coming Down, is the first release from The Good Life in eight years and although that’s a long time to wait for a new album, we’ll take Kasher whenever and however we can get him. —Amy Atkins With Big Harp. 7 p.m., $14 adv., $16 door.

BEERGUZZLER WINTER WONDERS: ROUND ONE

DESCHUTES JUBELALE, $1.50-$1.80 Light coffee in color with a persistent, twofinger head, the alluring, lightly sweet aromas are fruit driven with fig, dried cherry, ripe apple and plum backed by toffee and soft hops. In the mouth, creamy malt leads off, colored by pear and apricot fruit along with touches of pepper and roasted grain. The hops come through on the finish, lending a cleansing balance. SIERRA NEVADA CELEBRATION FRESH HOP IPA, $1.50-$1.80 For more than 30 years Celebration has set the standard for a hopdriven, winter seasonal. This golden hued brew is no exception. Opens with piney hop aromas wrapped around silky malt and caramel. Round and rich on the palate, there’s a splash of fresh, fruity hops up front, lots of bright biscuit and malt, with a touch of citrus. Those hops get a bit edgier on the deliciously dry finish. ODELL ISOLATION ALE, $2-$2.30 A ruby tinged, amber pour with a decent offwhite head that collapses quickly. The aromas are a mix of sourdough, caramel, earthy grain and leather. On the softer side of the winter brew spectrum, with smooth malt playing against subtle, citrusy hops. Seemed a bit subdued at first, but the style grew on me—it’s an easy drinking, impeccably balanced seasonal. —David Kirkpatrick 28 | NOVEMBER 4–10, 2015 | BOISEweekly

The solstice hasn’t yet arrived, but the nighttime temps are dipping into the 30s—perfect for trying some of the first winter seasonal arrivals. Here are three different takes on the style: Deschutes travels the winter warmer route, Sierra Nevada’s focus (as always) is on the hops and Odell has opted for something in between.

them had come into the Marines through the court system because they had some kind of trouble.” One by one, the survivors of Bravo company describe the circumstances that led them to the Marines and, ultimately, to Vietnam. “I wasn’t doing very well in school,” says one. “I was in trouble with my family and my school,” says another. “I was lost.” “I was on my own.” “The age of those kids always amazed me,” says Cicala. “I was the second oldest guy there, and I was only 21.” What follows in Bravo! is a chronicle of how these boys were ordered, time and again, into impossible firefights against the NVA, and how the young Americans continuously went back into harm’s way, dodging constant gunfire and shrapnel, so they could retrieve scores of the dead or wounded. “I thought to myself, ‘Oh my God, we’re not going to survive this,’” says one of the survivors. “Little did I know that it would go on for 77 days.” Survive they did and Ken, one of the lucky few to return to the U.S, would become a sheep herder, cattle rancher, accountant, real estate broker, teacher, screenwriter and filmmaker. He and Betty, a lifelong photographer, reached out to Rodgers’ band of brothers to capture their story on film and ultimately create a documentary good enough to rival that of any veteran filmmaker. “They can’t really prepare you for combat,” Ken says near the end of Bravo! “They can get you into shape. They can get you to pay attention. They can get you to do as you’re told. But they really can’t get you to prepare for something like what we went through.” BOISEweekly | NOVEMBER 4–10, 2015 | 29

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): In 1978, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield began selling their ice cream out of a refurbished gas station in Burlington, Vermont. Thirtyseven years later, Ben and Jerry’s is among the world’s best-selling ice cream brands. Its success stems in part from its willingness to keep transforming the way it does business. “My mantra is ‘Change is a wonderful thing,’” says the current CEO. As evidence of the company’s intention to keep re-evaluating its approach, there’s a “Flavor Graveyard” on its website, where it lists flavors it has tried but ultimately abandoned. “Wavy Gravy,” “Tennessee Mud” and “Turtle Soup” are among the departed. Now is a favorable time for you to engage in a purge of your own. What parts of your life don’t work any more? What personal changes would be wonderful things? TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Before he helped launch Apple Computer in the 1970s, tech pioneer Steve Wozniak ran a diala-joke service. Most of the time, people who called got an automated recording, but now and then Wozniak answered himself. That’s how he met Alice Robertson, the woman who later became his wife. I’m guessing you will have comparable experiences in the coming weeks, Taurus. Future allies may come into your life in unexpected ways. It’s as if mysterious forces

will be conspiring to connect you with people you need to know. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Small, nondestructive earthquakes are common. Our planet has an average of 1,400 of them every day. This subtle underground mayhem has been going on steadily for millions of years. According to recent research, it has been responsible for creating 80 percent of the world’s gold. I suspect the next six or seven months will feature a metaphorically analogous process in your life. You will experience deep-seated quivering and grinding that won’t bring major disruptions even as it generates the equivalent of gold deposits. Make it your goal to welcome and even thrive on the subterranean friction. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Here’s the process I went through to create your horoscope. First I drew up a chart of your astrological aspects. Using my analytical skills, I pondered their meaning. Next, I called on my intuitive powers, asking my unconscious mind to provide symbols that would be useful to you. The response I got from my deeper mind was surprising: It informed me I should go to a new cafe that had just opened downtown. Ten minutes later, I was there, gazing at a menu packed with exotic treats: Banana Flirty Milk... Champagne Coconut Mango Slushy... Honey Dew Jelly Juice...

32 | NOVEMBER 4–10, 2015 | BOISEweekly

Creamy Wild Berry Blitz... Sweet Dreamy Ginger Snow. I suspect these are metaphors for experiences that are coming your way. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The Beatles’ song “You Never Give Me Your Money” has this poignant lyric: “Oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go.” I suggest you make it your motto for now. And if you have not yet begun to feel the allure of that sentiment, initiate the necessary shifts to get yourself in the mood. Why? Because it’s time to recharge your spiritual battery, and the best way to do that is to immerse yourself in the mystery of having nothing to do and nowhere to go. Put your faith in the pregnant silence, Leo. Let emptiness teach you what you need to know next. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Should a professional singer be criticized for her lack of skill in laying bricks? Is it reasonable to chide a kindergarten teacher for his ineptitude as an airplane pilot? Does it make sense to complain about a cat’s inability to bark? Of course not. There are many other unwarranted comparisons that are almost as irrational but not as obviously unfair. Is it right for you to wish your current lover or best friend could have the same je ne sais quoi as a previous lover or best friend? Should you try to manipulate the future so that it’s more like the past? Are you justi-

fied in demanding that your head and your heart come to identical conclusions? No, no, and no. Allow the differences to be differences. More than that: Celebrate them. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the mid-19th century, an American named Cyrus McCormick patented a breakthrough that had the potential to revolutionize agriculture. It was a mechanical reaper that harvested crops with far more ease and efficiency than handheld sickles and scythes. His innovation didn’t enter into mainstream use for 20 years. In part that was because many farmers were skeptical of trying a new technology, and feared it would eliminate jobs. I don’t foresee you having to wait nearly as long for acceptance of your new wrinkles, Libra. But you may have to be patient. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Is it possible to express a benevolent form of vanity? I say yes. In the coming weeks, your boasts may be quite lyrical and therapeutic. They may even uplift and motivate those who hear them. Acts of self-aggrandizement that would normally cast long shadows might instead produce generous results. That’s why I’m giving you a go-ahead to embody the following attitude from Nikki Giovanni’s poem “Ego Tripping (there may be a reason why)”: “I am so perfect so divine so ethereal so surreal/ I can-

not be comprehended except by my permission.” SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Regard the current tensions and detours as camouflaged gifts from the gods of growth. You’re being offered a potent opportunity to counteract the effects of a self-sabotage you committed once upon a time. You’re getting an excellent chance to develop the strength of character that can blossom from dealing with soul-bending riddles. In fact, I think you’d be wise to feel a surge of gratitude right now. To do so will empower you to take maximum advantage of the disguised blessings. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are slipping into a phase when new teachers are likely to appear. That’s excellent news, because the coming weeks will also be a time when you especially need new teachings. Your good fortune doesn’t end there. I suspect that you will have an enhanced capacity to learn quickly and deeply. With all these factors conspiring in your favor, Capricorn, I predict that by Jan. 1, 2016, you will be smarter, humbler, more flexible and better prepared to get what you want in 2016. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): American author Mark Twain seemed to enjoy his disgust with the novels of Jane Austen, who

died 18 years before he was born. “Her books madden me so that I can’t conceal my frenzy,” he said, even as he confessed that he had perused some of her work multiple times. “Every time I read Pride and Prejudice,” he wrote to a friend about Austen’s most famous story, “I want to dig her up and beat her over the skull with her own shin-bone.” We might ask why he repetitively sought an experience that bothered him. I am posing a similar question to you, Aquarius. According to my analysis, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to renounce, once and for all, your association with anything or anyone you are addicted to disliking. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The Sahara in northern Africa is the largest hot desert on the planet. It’s almost the size of the United States. Cloud cover is rare, the humidity is low and the temperature of the sand can easily exceed 170 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s why it was so surprising when snow fell there in February 1979 for the first time in memory. This visitation happened again 33 years later. I’m expecting a similar anomaly in your world, Pisces. Like the desert snow, your version should be mostly interesting and only slightly inconvenient. It may even have an upside. Saharan locals testified that the storm helped the palm trees because it killed off the parasites feeding on them. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

FIND SNOW WOLF WHEELED SNOW SHOVEL

$GYLFH IRU WKRVH RQ WKH YHUJH DEAR MINERVA, Many people in the LGBT community have been hurt by religion, so much so that they have pretty much lost their families. What can we do to be more inclusive to these individuals? —Seeking Divine Inspiration

DEAR DI, I am going to preface this by saying my response is based on the assumption we’re talking about Christianity, and many Christians embrace their LGBTQ brothers and sisters. Quite simply, we can be more inclusive by treating LGBTQ people like people and not like sins. Every single one of us is flawed in innumerable ways, and we have all proved our imperfections time and time again. What is so painful is that this one issue has had so much focus and so much vitriol. It has resulted in too many deaths, both from murder and suicide, which are two things the Bible frowns pretty heavily on. Just as sadly, it has caused millions who believe in a creator to feel they are abominations and unworthy of love—what a hideous scar on the face of Christianity. Religion needs to have a hard, long look in the mirror and think about how it has contributed to the deaths of millions of people over the years. If religion refuses to minister to the whole person, flaws and all, then it will continue to lose devotees in droves. After all, science makes room for all those that Christianity has rebuked. Amen.

Think of it as a snowblower without the extension cord… or the noise… or the diesel fumes. Even better, think of it as a snowblower the Amish might have invented. The Snow Wolf is low-tech, but check out its website (wovel.com) and you’ll read about what developers call “the world’s safest snow shovel,” which promises to clear snow three times faster than a traditional shovel. While the $160 price tag may give you $160 palpitations, the Snow Wolf also promises wovel.com to “greatly reduce the very real risks of back and heart injuries.” The concept is simple: A heavy-gauge 26-inch-wide shovel is attached to a 35-inch wheel. Developers say the Snow Wolf is fully adjustable, can fold flat and can be hung like a traditional shovel. An additional chipper plate accessory, to tackle thick ice, sells for $26.
