EDITOR’S NOTE IT’S BECAUSE OF THE IDIOTS In a moment of especial extremis, one of the lead characters in the surprisingly well-crafted Old West/cannibal horror film Bone Tomahawk remarks, “This is why frontier life is so difficult. It’s not because of the indians or the elements, but because of the idiots.” It’s true. The “frontier,” or as we in the 21st century call it, “home,” has always attracted a special kind of person: stubborn, independent, a little wild and brutal. Also, too often, idiotic. Witness the armed takeover of a wildlife refuge in eastern Oregon. Over the New Year’s holiday weekend, a gang of gun-toting, camo-clad, so-called “militia” members jumped in their pickups and descended on Burns, Ore., from parts as far flung as Nevada, Wyoming and North Dakota. Flying their upside-down United States flags, they hijacked another also wrongheaded protest and stormed an unoccupied, federally owned building about 30 miles out of town. There, they think they’ll make a stand against a government that has stripped them of their rights. It has the trappings and rhetoric of a patriotic uprising, but it’s as intellectually dishonest as it is deficient. Led by Ammon Bundy (whose name rings close to “mammon”), the son of famous tax-dodging Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy (whose name is too close to “craven” for comfort), these latter-day sagebrush rebels aren’t so lofty as land reformers. They’re playing soldier in service to some atavistic vision of a Wild West where they can appropriate land to build miniature fiefdoms beholden to no law but their batty religious convictions. It’s a vision that rejects the fundamental reality of the West: All the land has already been stolen. The challenge now, as it has been for more than a century, is to retain a balance between use and misuse of its resources. That balance is rooted in process, and the process—if you believe in our republican form of government— comes from the ballot box, not a bunch of good old boys camped out at a bird sanctuary. Many observers have called the Bundy clan and its attendant country thugs “terrorists.” They’re not, insofar as they don’t elicit terror. They’re greedy, spoiled and entitled, which makes their patriotic posturing an embarrassment rather than an insurrection. —Zach Hagadone

DIDN’T SEE IT COMING

Nostril Bill’s retro-foretellings for 2015—Part Two BILL COPE (Continued from last week, where Nostril Bill explained that the purpose of this two-part column is to preemptively predict what his followers might have noticed he didn’t predict for the coming year, which ended at least six days ago. If you have difficulty wrapping your brain around either the concept of retro-foretellings, or that last sentence, you can appreciate why so many science fiction writers have moaned, “Time travel’s a bitch.”) • The phrase “Jade Helm” flitted across N.B.’s ESP screen last year, but he assumed it was another one of those weird names some celebrities insist on giving their newborns (e.g., “Jade Helm Kardashian”), and he decided it wasn’t worth prereporting on. Now that he knows it was a military training operation that many Texans took to be a conspiracy by President Barack Obama to declare martial law, he sees it was a mistake not to mention it. “Here I was given this opportunity to predict how many ways there are for Texans to be idiots, and I didn’t do anything with it.” • Nostril did not see that Steve Harvey would make a mistake in reading the list of finalists and name the wrong woman as winner of the Miss Universe Pageant, or that the ensuing three minutes of confusion would turn the mistake into the biggest news story in the world for a full day. However, decades ago, Nostril predicted the Miss Universe Pageant, as well as every other beauty contest in America, would die out from their own irrelevance, taking high heels, push-up bras and baton twirling with them. Nostril stands by that earlier prediction, and insists it’s not his fault if society wasn’t listening. • In last year’s predictions, Nostril did foretell of a famous male personality undergoing a sex change procedure. But owing to the fact that he had totally forgotten about Bruce Jenner within a week after the closing of the 1976 Summer Olympics, and hadn’t given him a thought in the 40 years since, he had no foundation to imagine there was a Caitlyn Jenner in America’s future. (Nostril was sure it would be Lindsey Graham who switched gender, which illustrates that predications often get the right name in the wrong context—i.e., confusing a public sex change with a public candidacy for the office of president.) • Had you told Nostril a year ago the Confederate flag would be reviled and removed from public display in such rebel bastions as South Carolina and Mississippi, he would have said, “Just ’cause I’m a seer, doesn’t make me a sap.” But look what happened. Nostril’s only response to missing this “CSA” change in his tea leaves is, “I should have known it would take a mass murder to get the f***ing South to do the right thing.”

• There was a magnificent lion in N.B.’s 2015 visions, but Nostril assumed it was his spirit animal representing his own noble nature, and if the name “Cecil” came up, he missed it. Had he perceived Cecil was in mortal danger from a shitheel macho dentist from Minnesota, he might have been able to warn the beautiful beast to stay close to home that fateful day. • Perhaps it’s a good thing Nostril Bill’s Tarot deck did not show him the upcoming deals Obama would make with Iran over their nuclear capability and with the rest of the world on global warming. Had the Republican leadership in Congress caught wind of such stunning future diplomatic achievements, they almost certainly would have gone into hyperdrive to dream up even more devious schemes to prevent the accords from happening. Thank the stars Nostril didn’t see it coming, for this could well have been a case of “Loose Prescripts Sink Statesmanship.” He did read in the cards that congressional Republicans would spend 2015 behaving like chattering, feces-throwing monkeys, but he said nothing about it in his published predictions. As Nostril himself says, “Prognosticating that people like Steve King (R-Iowa) and Raul Labrador (R-Idaho) are going to be assholes in the future is like foretelling the coming of flu season.” • On the subject of assholes, N.B. has expended a great many words warning of an annual manifestation of that psychic vortex of the most unadulterated stupidity to be found anywhere outside of Texas—or what most of you call “the Idaho Legislature.” Had you asked Nostril this time last year if he thought that vortex could get any stupider than it was in 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, etc., he would have laughed and said, “No damn way! Are you kidding!?” Yet in spite of Nostril’s previously unarticulated assurances that it had gotten as stupid as it could get, along comes Vito Barbieri (R-Dalton Gardens), Christy Perry (R-Nampa) and Sheryl Nuxoll (R-Cottonwood), along with 20 other legislators who voted to refuse any cooperation with current child support laws, all out of hysterical panic over Sharia law. This was on top of Barbieri’s lame attempt at gynecological sarcasm that had the entire nation laughing at him, Perry’s fervent support of kidicide by medical neglect and the plethora of decisions that earned Nuxoll the title of Idaho’s Official State Dumbshit. Today, peering ahead into the as-yet-unwritten record of the 2016 session, Nostril Bill cannot say with any certainty that it couldn’t get worse. • Nostril did not see that Mr. Spock would die in 2015. Nor will he admit, even now, that Spock is truly gone. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

OPINION FROM THE FAR MARGINS Custer County in winter NICOLE LEFAVOUR White. The snow stretches vast and flat between clumps of pine. Wind sweeps fine grains across the surface. The flicker and the jay, raven and eagle have stayed as the world freezes here in the high cold of 7,000 feet. Central Idaho. Custer County. If it’s New Year’s, nothing would tell but for the long nights, the silence of winter’s deepening. Yet the days will lengthen. Below, rivers wind, filled with chunks of snow that hiss softly against banks. The water is a dark place. It steams between delicate shelves of ice that grow ever inward toward the center. There in deep spots, fish still circle. A golden eagle flies the great curve in the river where the desert starts. Its wings beat like a slow-motion heart, a black dot against a white mountain impossibly large at this distance. This is the county where humans eke a tiny strip of habitation out of the wilderness. One river corridor. The rest belongs to mountain goats and sheep, great herds of elk that pick their way by the hundreds down to the river to drink, then climb back into the white cold to sleep anywhere out of the wind. In Boise, I have in my mind a map of the people I know from Custer County. Invisible strings tie us to that place at the edge of all. We drive the hard road “home” to where beer is $2 in the bar, $1 at happy hour and strangers still wave when they meet a car on the empty white highway. Cold and isolation makes us generous, keeps us connected. Even in Boise, in the snow, people are kinder. It’s as if, when we face the cold, we have a common adversary and it binds us a bit. We bake cookies for neighbors, stop when a truck is stuck in the snow or a horse has broken loose. Now many houses sit empty. Main Street in Stanley is entirely closed, not a single business open on a Wednesday. Winter leaves people at an economic edge. The pass closes under the weight of snow and everything goes dark. Dogs wander the middle of Main Street Challis. People fishtail, spin cookies on the broad unplowed pavement. The few locals huddle in the the open bars. People shovel the sloughs to ice skate in candle-lit darkness. In this place, the wild presses. At 40 degrees below zero, human life hangs at a vulnerable edge. But the people of the county have a difficult relationship with designated wilderness. It’s not that they don’t love the country. It’s that for generations ,they’ve used it differently. Horses, ATVs and motorbikes, generators, caches of gear in the trees off favorite campsite. Wilderness prohibits all of this—except the horses and mules, but few can keep mules busy anymore. Wilderness designation puts a place on the map—worthy of visiting. Places are loved out of BOISE WEEKLY.COM

their silence, their wildness, loved into trampled, contaminated, scarred, playgrounds where goats, pine martin, owls and mink won’t go. It’s not that the locals of Custer County do not love the land as much as anyone. They do. Wolves are not of the wild to them. They are seen as introduced, thus of government—a thing far away and foreign. Government is huge federal taxes, tickets, permits, regulations on everything from the width of your front door to the conditions under which you can sell eggs, milk and muffins to your neighbors. Government is the sheriff, Forest Service, health inspector, building inspector. Even with all these government functions, the face of government is just your neighbor down the highway doing her job—making a living in tough times, looking the other way when she can on the things that don’t seem reasonable. The snow falls. Snowplows pass in the night. The days will stretch ever longer into spring but, for now, the humans of the high parts of Idaho split wood, stock up on supplies, tend to stock with hay and heated water. They watch the deer and elk thread their way up and down the ridges, walk routes for the winter bird count, make things summer leaves no time for, commute on icy roads to that job at the mine or inn, the school or bar or district office. In this state of isolation the world outside can seem hostile. Between Fox News doing all it can to keep viewers in a perpetual state of fearful anger and the Facebook news feeds of like-minded “friends,” the foreign becomes frightening and even the ordinary can become foreign. Believing skewed news about black protestors or the consequences of gay marriage is no stretch. Today, even communities like Challis and Salmon have visible gay and transgender residents, but black faces, far less so. So what’s foreign becomes scary. Prejudice is a nonsensical word out of the handbook of political correctness—part of that world Fox News says is ever working to put whites down—because they want you to believe equality and justice are finite and if others are given something, there will be less in the world to be gained for your family and yourself. We are generous. We look out for our neighbors, for those we know and those we believe are like us, trying to get by in the world. We respect hard work and self sufficiency. We can grow our own food and put it by for winter, live off next to nothing from the outside in a pinch. These are the places our values come from. These are our sources of belief. In a large world, these are also our vulnerabilities. BOISEweekly | JANUARY 6–12, 2016 | 5

UNDA’ THE ROTUNDA

THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD IDHW plans to reduce some Medicaid reimbursement rates effective Monday, Feb. 1.

LEGAL CHALLENGE ATTEMPTS TO DELAY MEDICAID RATE DECREASE A lawyer representing several Idaho caregivers says if the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare gets its way and lowers Medicaid reimbursement rates on Monday, Feb.1, some of the state’s most vulnerable citizens will be at risk. “We’re talking about people with severe intellectual developmental disabilities: people on the autism spectrum, with Down Syndrome or possibly brain injury,” said Boise-based attorney James Piotrowski. “My clients are telling me that dozens and dozens of people have received notices saying their services are going to be terminated when this rate decrease takes effect.” Piotrowski has ﬁled a legal claim against IDHW, alleging the department didn’t undergo the state’s rule-making process to determine its lower Medicaid reimbursement, which he said slashes some providers’ rates by as much as 50 percent. “[IDHW] is cutting its own legs out from under itself,” said Piotrowski. “Providers simply aren’t going to be able to handle difﬁcult cases at $260 a day. We’re talking about 24/7, around-the-clock care—dressing, grooming, bathing, preparation of food, eating. It’s only with these services that these clients are able to live in their own homes rather than an institution where they would be warehoused with other people with severe disabilities.” For its part, IDHW spokesman Tom Shanahan said the department will keep a close eye on clients once the Medicaid reimbursement rate drops. “If we see a situation where there aren’t enough providers or the quality of care declines, then we’ll reevaluate the reimbursement rate,” he said. Piotrowski argues the department’s usual response is to “put them in a state hospital and that’s what we’re trying to avoid. These people belong in their communities.” Piotrowski said the clock is ticking and he’s hoping for a January court hearing where he’ll push for a judicial delay of the rate change. Otherwise, he said, “this throws a huge wrench into the system of care.” —George Prentice 6 | JANUARY 6–12, 2016 | BOISEweekly

Boise State University Master Plan doesn’t include some of its oldest neighbors GEORGE PRENTICE Karen Glennon leaned in and squinted, trying in vain to find her home on a map inside Boise State University’s 104-page master plan. “It’s not there,” she said. When Boise Weekly asked her neighbors, all of whom live within a few blocks of the university, to point out their homes, they had similar responses. “They’re gone. Our houses are gone,” whispered Christine Gleason, lifting her head from the map in resignation. After speaking to nearly a dozen neighbors, all said they love living near Boise State (south of University Drive and north of Boise Avenue), but they’re heartbroken that university’s plans for the future don’t include them. “Look, I love Boise State,” said Deborah Graham, wearing an orange-and-blue Boise State sweatshirt. “But I also want them to live up to their values of being a good neighbor.” In 2005, Boise State drafted a master plan that promised to be a “good neighbor” while looking for an “appropriate transition of land use, scale and density between the campus and South Boise neighborhoods.” A decade later, an updated master plan details a 20 percent growth, defined in large, by a land grab through those same neighborhoods. “At first they said the expansion wouldn’t hit us for at least 20 years,” said Glennon. “But now, they’re cutting it closer, and they’re throwing everybody into a panic.” Glennon said the panic “hit her like a brick” during a meeting in August 2015, when an architect hired by Boise State showed neighbors an updated draft of the master plan. “They hadn’t even labeled where our streets had been. That really ticked me off,” she said. “I told the architect, ‘Find our streets. Find Potter Drive. Find Joyce. Find Belmont Street.’” Gil Hofert has lived on Belmont Street for more than 30 years. “My street was gone from the map,” he said. Merlin and Rita Marlatt live on Belmont too. “That map puts a parking lot where we currently live,” said Rita.

When Boise Weekly asked some southeast Boise residents to point out their properties on a map included in the Boise State Master Plan, they learned the university’s future doesn’t include them.

The Boise State Master Plan is big in scope, size and implication. In the introduction, Its authors concede Boise State’s “overall campus density is not high” but insist the “campus core is largely built-out,” and existing academic buildings are “inadequate for current uses or are in poor condition.” Anyone paying even casual attention to Boise State already knows the university has already upgraded its administration building and built a new athletic practice field in the southeast corner of campus. Plans for the immediate future include a new fine arts building on Capitol Boulevard, a residence hall for honors students and a new alumni center. If Boise State planners get their way, over the next 10 years they’ll build two new academic buildings on the west end of campus and a new science building between the Albertsons Library and Student Union. In the next 10-20 years, they hope to introduce “student housing villages” south of the main campus, an additional performing arts center in its northwest corner and an “Olympic sports center” and Natatorium in the southeast corner of campus. The proposed plan initially landed on the shoulders of the city of Boise Planning and Zoning Commission but in mid-December, P&Z Commissioner Steve Miller balked at the document, saying it was the first time he was hearing about many of the proposals. “It just puts us in a very awkward position,” said Miller at the Dec. 14, 2015 P&Z hearing. Miller and his fellow P&Z commissioners focused many of their concerns on Boise State’s proposal to close off University Drive to motorists, turning the thoroughfare into a pedestrian and bicyclist mall. Their ultimate plan is to divert traffic rom University, presumably south to Boise Avenue. That’s where Boise P&Z commissioners

said the Ada County Highway District needed to weigh in on the matter. At a January 4 P&Z meeting, the first of the new year, commissioners ultimately agreed to recommend approval of Boise State’s master plan. But the P&Z “yes” vote came with a caveat: commissioners strongly recommended a traffic analysis of the impact of the probable closure of University Drive. Meanwhile, ACHD representatives stated they couldn’t yet recommend approval of the plan, reminding the university it “should submit a detailed written request to ACHD,” detailing the proposed closure of University. Merlin Marlatt said Boise State’s footprint has increased significantly over the years, primarily through its purchase of neighborhood homes. “But what they did was let those properties deteriorate, driving down the value of the nearby homes,” he added. Gleason, who has lived in the University neighborhood since 1979 said Boise State then had the gall to exploit that deterioration to its own advantage. “What happens is that they go to the city of Boise and ask for approval for one of their projects, telling the city what an eyesore the property has become,” said Gleason. “But what they never say is that they’re the ones who own the property and that they were the ones to make it look bad.” The University neighborhood residents admit they’re “up against a wall” and Boise State is a formidable opponent when it comes to the master plan. Neighbors’ last-ditch hope for a sympathetic ear might come when the issue comes before the Boise City Council on Tuesday, Jan. 19. “I wish I could give you some elaborate answer to our dilemma,” said Glennon. “But it’s rather simple: We just don’t want to move.” BOISE WEEKLY.COM

For this year’s Boise Weekly Fiction 101 Contest—our 14th annual—there were enough entries to produce a stack almost an inch thick. As is always the case, themes emerge and, this year, we read many tiny tales about family, childhood, violence, nature, love and sex. Writers of great short fiction have the power to concentrate and explore ideas about which the rest of us may only sputter, and while there was some sputtering, more than a few entries soared with clarity, incision and, most importantly, economy. A recap of the contest rules: Authors wrote works of short fiction precisely 101 words long. Judges, without knowing writers’ identities, selected winning entries. The winners are an excellent batch of short stories ranging from whimsical to realistic to surreal, some of which offer harrowing window into human experience. You’ll find the winning entries reprinted below, and please join us for a reading of these entries at Rediscovered Books (180 N. Eighth St.) on First Thursday, Feb. 4, at 7 p.m. —Harrison Berry

Emily’s dad yells and pounds on things. Her mom calls him “Vietnam Vet.” When he’s away on business, she takes down his sword collection and hangs paintings of flowers. Once, he yells, “Make me a sandwich, girls!” We make it from moist cat food, put a plastic army man on top to show it’s a joke, think he’ll understand—but he doesn’t. Sandwich half gone, we’re too scared to say anything, so we just watch. After that we know, between us, he’s nothing but a red-faced-fist pounding man who’d eaten cat food. And we were the ones who fed it to him.

To save their marriage, Jasper and Joanne decide to move from the city where both have had an affair. In November, they buy a hillside farm, knowing nothing about farming except what they’ve Googled: Chicken coops, peach pies. Winter is spent chiseling ice off water troughs, bringing barn cats inside, working puzzles by the fire. Jasper throws his second, secret phone full of lusty texts into the snow-slurried river. At night, Joanne lets herself curve into Jasper’s warm body. “Are you happy?” she whispers. “I’m revealed.” A lamb dies. They leave it for the crows. By June, it’s all bleached bones.

“Quit staring out that window,” Pa says. “The dead are gone.” But he’s wrong. Sis is still here. Sometimes she floats against the walls like thin smoke, films the windows. Pa wipes away the fog, and Sis lets out a long whisper like a bride’s dress dragging across the floor. Way it was told, the woods took her. She’d run after our fool dog into the rain, the pitch black. Been seven years, and Pa won’t speak her name. But it don’t matter. I watch the glass. Rain taps against the window. The eyes come first, one drop at a time.

We sit on the edge of the bed wearing only pilgrim hats and white dickies. She has a spot of gravy on her inner thigh. “Where would you be if you could be anywhere right now?” I say before licking the gravy. “Right here, sweetie.” “No seriously. I won’t be upset.” Another girl pops in the room holding a gravy boat and wearing a fringe bikini. “My guy flamed out before we used ours. You want this?” Lexi looks at me and I nod.

I wrote about mothers and sons. Abandonment. They weren’t autobiographical, even though my sisters raised me, and Mother drifted like the tide. I was simply drawn to darkness. I arranged and rearranged mothers, moving them from bars to classrooms. They boozed, got high, took road trips to random spots. After the fiftieth rejection, I burned the stories, leaving a space wonderful and vast. So I sat down to write a story about writing a story.

GREG LIKINS’ PICK SCOT T, BOI SE

Grandma’s long, gray hair was coiled into a librarian’s bun, but when fireflies awake, she chased them, her hair flying wildly. After her death, I found the book, Diary of a Submissive, in her nightstand. On the title page, written in Grandpa’s scrawl were the words, “Fae, You’re my very kinky girl. I’m glad I took you home to mother. Happy 40th anniversary. Love, your sissy boy.” At last, I saw past Grandma’s appliqued aprons matching the seasons, past Grandpa’s gruff demeanor and understood the significance of the riding crop hanging behind the bedroom door for two people petrified of horses.

PLEASE DON’T FEED THE BIRDS— EMILY

HARRISON BERRY’S PICK CU RTRIGH T, B O ISE

She was a woman capable of flight. During winter we walked to the park to watch the geese; bodies like landmines, green droplets bruising the snow. She screeched delightedly when one stretched out its wings, flapped them riotously, craning its neck. She tossed scraps of bread, throwing more and more until temptation couldn’t be ignored. “I don’t think you’re supposed to do that. It’s bad for them.” “Shut up, they’re fine,” she assured. We traded assertions that stabbed each other’s ears like needles. She looked ready for take-off. We made up by bedtime, where I kissed the breadcrumbs off her lips.

WATCH NETFLIX WITH ME— D AV I D

MCN E I L L , BO I S E

He wants to join a gym, to lose his programmer gut. I encourage him, surprised. He wants to take up mixed martial arts. I’m glad he’s joining a club. He wants to cut weight, that’s why he’s not sharing my muffin. I have begun to secretly wish for an injury. Nothing serious, just a sprain. He wants me to watch his first fight. I refuse. He wants to find me in the crowd, his face a mound of bruises and vaselined gashes. I find his eyes, somehow peeking out, and smile as we remember his gut, the couch, Netflix and me.

Theresa Burkes hidden behind a quintessential symbol of the 21st century.

ART SOURCE GALLERY More than 50 pieces of artwork—including photography, painting and sculpture—by 37 local artists will be for sale on First Thursday at Art Source Gallery (1015 W. Main St.). Of each piece sold, 30 percent of the proceeds will benefit the Women’s and Children’s Alliance. Lisa Bower, artist and Art Source advertising manager, said this is the first time the gallery has used a juried show to raise funds for a local nonprofit. All of the artists who submitted work created using the theme “Metamorphosis.” “‘Metamorphosis’ was a symbolic gesture of transformation, which is what the WCA does for women and children,” Bower said. “We were looking for community involvement and wanted to raise awareness for the kind of communication art can bring.” Some artwork interprets the theme literally, like a photograph of a wilting flower with a broken stem alongside another flower brightly blooming. Others, like a painting by Theresa Burkes, hides a self portrait beneath a QR scan code—leaving the viewer to ponder its metamorphic connection. The First Thursday event runs 5-9 p.m. with music by cellist Rachel Nettles. A second fundraising event, which also benefits the WCA, happens Thursday, Jan. 14, 6-9 p.m., features acoustic music from Rocci Johnson and Friends as well as live and silent auctions and a raffle. Indian Creek Winery will pour wine at both events.

This guy rocked so hard, Adam Wright memorialized him.

DISTRICT COFFEEHOUSE When local musician Adam Wright discovers a band, he pays special attention to its aesthetics. He looks at the album artwork, photos taken at live shows and the band’s music videos. “Bands will try to do very DIY music videos where they ﬁlm themselves on a phone, and it isn’t very great,” Wright said. “I found that if I don’t like the video, I’m going to stop watching, no matter how much I liked the song. It can just turn me off from the band completely.” So about a year ago, Wright went into business offering professional photography and videography for musicians—and their budgets. On First Thursday at District Coffeehouse (219 N. 10th St.), Wright’s favorite live concert photos from local and touring acts will be on display “There are a lot of people putting out great songs and great records, but they have their friends do their promo photos and album artwork, and it’s not a great representation of the quality of music they put out,” Wright said. “I want people to see that the band puts in effort to make everything it releases high quality.” BOISE WEEKLY.COM

I-ACT, you act, we all act for an audience.

THE OWYHEE The Idaho Association of Community Theatre’s Actors Forum features local actors performing monologues, show tunes and short scenes—but it also provides an opportunity for non-actors to get on stage in front of a live audience. According to longtime community theater actress Patti O’Hara, I-ACT created the forum to ﬁll a void, “It gives people a chance to practice their craft between auditions and performances,” she said. The lineup for First Thursday includes local actress Leta Neustaedter, musician Galen Lewis, director Joseph Wright and I-ACT President Debbie Hertzog. “It’s much like the Idaho Songwriters Forum or Story Story Night,” O’Hara said. “We’ve added a sideshow, where members of the audience can put their name into a hat and be drawn to participate in a scene on stage. It’ll be a variety show and the purpose is for performers to practice in front of an audience, try out an audition piece, resurrect an old favorite, or maybe be seen by someone in the audience as a potential cast member.” The forum will be in the foyer of the Owyhee (1109 W. Main St.), 7-9 p.m. The lobby bar plans to extend happy hour prices, and the show is free to attend. I-ACT plans to host the Actors Forum at The Owyhee every First Thursday. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

BCT: LAUREN WEEDMAN’S WHAT WENT WRONG?

IDAHO LAUGH FEST

As author and raconteur Truman Capote once said, “Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act.” While Capote was unscrupulously true in his writing, he wasn’t always so intellectually honest with his own life, which played out better—or more interesting, at least—than could be called “moderately good.” The same goes for the 1989 one-man play Tru, by Jay Presson Allen, which puts Capote in the spotlight, examining the writer’s self-absorption and how it informed his reaction to the critical reception of his work. Presented by Frankly Frankie Productions, this staging of Tru stars Adam Toothaker and is directed by Anne McDonald, Wednesday, Jan. 6-Friday, Jan. 8; 8 p.m.; $10 adv., $15 door. Ming Studios, 420 S. Sixth St., 208-949-4365, mingstudios.org.

Boise loves Lauren Weedman, and we’re pretty sure the feeling is mutual. The Los Angeles-based actor’s theater work has been wildly successful in the City of Trees, where Weedman has presented her plays Bust, No… You Shut Up and, most recently, Boise: You Don’t Look a Day Over 149 at Boise Contemporary Theater. Speaking of love, we love that Weedman is returning, this time with What Went Wrong?, a new collection of stories and a little something extra special: According to BCT, which has a long relationship with Weedman that has included commissioning both No… You Shut Up and Boise, she’ll also sing a few songs. We love it. Wednesday, Jan. 6-Friday, Jan. 8, 8 p.m.; Saturday, Jan. 9, 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.; Tuesday, Jan. 12-Wednesday, Jan. 13, 8 p.m.; $16$34. Boise Contemporary Theater, 854 Fulton St.,, 208-331-9224, bctheater.org.

Paul Taylor was in Martha Graham’s company… we are a part of history.” Parsons’ history includes working with Michael Curry (co-designer of The Lion King puppets) alongside another Midwesterner: Trey McIntyre, who suggested Parsons bring PDC to Boise, which he is, to performﬁve exciting dances, one of which is McIntyre’s “Hymn.” “David was a real role model for me as a young dancer,” McIntyre said. “Another giant, cornfed guy from Kansas was making this huge mark on the dance world. I really looked up to him.” As sought after he is one of Parsons’ greatest achievements is his internationally renowned and respected dance company. “My goal was to keep a company very vital, very small and very powerful.

SHOWS IN 2016 WE’RE EXCITED ABOUT: CARLY RAE JEPSEN AND ELEANOR FRIEDBERGER One of the perks of being a music lover in 2016 is that you can be a fan of musicians as diverse from one another as Eleanor Friedberger and Carly Rae Jepsen without any shame, guilt or loss of street cred. The drawback of being a Boise music lover in 2016 is that both these artists are visiting our high-desert oasis on the same night: Wednesday, March 2. Let’s compare and contrast: We have two unbelievably talented women. Both wear bangs well. Eleanor Friedberger has made sophisticated indie-pop/art-rock as a solo artist and with her brother as one half of The Fiery Furnaces. 8 p.m., $10. Neurolux, 111 N. 11th St., theduckclub.com. On the other hand, Carly Rae Jepsen wrote and recorded “Call Me Maybe,” a perfect pop song. She is also responsible for the 2015 bubblegum pop masterpiece “Emotion.” 8 p.m., $23-$60. Knitting Factory, 416 S. Ninth St., bo.knittingfactory.com. Can’t decide? It is a tough decision, but the choice to see one of these two shows is not. —Jeffrey C. Lowe

“It’s a tragic time for the Boulder-White Clouds.”

NEW BILL MAY ALLOW MOUNTAIN BIKING IN WILDERNESS AREAS

JESSICA MURRI On a chilly evening in November, the Ridge to Rivers trail partnership opened the Boise Train Depot for a public meeting that would help shape the 10-year management plan for the city’s foothills and open spaces. More than 60 people gathered around tables blanketed in maps showing off the 190 miles of trails winding throughout the foothills. Those trails, which stretch from Highway 55 to Highway 21, are managed by a collaboration between the city of Boise, Ada County, the Bureau of Land Management, the Boise National Forest and the Idaho Department of Fish and Game. Again and again, trail users asked for the same thing: trail connectivity, and specifically for those who live in Harris Ranch and Barber Valley, who want more trails that will connect to the larger system, such as Table Rock and Military Reserve. As more subdivisions are added to the area, the city is feeling the pressure to do just that. “As a public servant, my job is to represent the interest of the citizens who support the open space and trails they love so dearly,” said Sara Arkle, Foothills and Open Space manager for the city. “But there are impacts to migrating herds associated with recreation, so it’s my job to find balance.” Meanwhile, it’s Krista Muller’s job to stop building future trails in that area. As a wildlife biologist for Fish and Game, it’s a mandate she takes seriously—she’s protecting the Boise River Wildlife Management Area, which covers 47,000 acres of the foothills north of Highway 21. The management area is one of the last winter ranges in this part of the state, according to Muller. Up to 8,000 mule deer and their fawns, as well as elk, pronghorn, hawks, songbirds, mice, voles, snakes, bobcats, fox, coyotes, quail, chukar and partridge use it year round, but especially when the snow gets too deep in higher elevations. “As soon as the days get shorter and the weather gets colder, they start migrating down,” Muller said. “Deer can’t get to food once there’s a foot of snow on the ground. If you’re a deer and you’ve got these wobbly legs and you’re in a couple of inches of snow, running away from a predator with a fawn, it’s pretty tough.” Muller said the last few years have been mild winters, making life easier for deer. Survival rates stayed around 98 percent. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

While residents of Barber Valley want to see more trail connectivity in the foothills, Idaho Fish and Game refuses to compromise the Boise River Wildlife Management Area by building additional trails.

“But when it changes like this, it takes a lot more out of those animals to survive,” she said. “Then you add things like recreationalists out there, hiking, walking their dogs. I’ve already had issues with drones this winter, flying over and harassing them. When you add that on top of their normal challenges of trying to feed and stay warm, you see a decline in their survival rate.” Because of that, Fish and Game refuses to let any new trails be built in the area Barber Valley residents hope to use. Muller said trails and roads fragment the landscape for wildlife. Deer will give a 200-yard buffer to a trail, rarely wanting to cross it. When they’re trying to get down to Lucky Peak Reservoir and more southern rangelands, it causes problems. “It’s a gauntlet for them,” she said. Muller added it’s crucial Fish and Game be part of the Ridge to Rivers partnership to address these more difficult questions. While the U.S. Forest Service, BLM and the city have a mission to provide recreational opportunities to residents, Fish and Game doesn’t share that goal. “Things like connectivity for mountain bikes and hiking—it’s not our mission,” she said. “That deters from what our mission is. When you think about wildlife, you want property that is large and uninterrupted. When you start adding that kind of connectivity for homeowners and development, you fragment the land and that is detrimental to wildlife.” Recreationalists are allowed on Boise River Wildlife Management Area property, but dogs

must be on-leash and users have to keep to specified roads and trails. The program is paid for through hunters’ licenses and tags, as well as a small cut from ammunition sales in the state. People can hunt on the property before the winter grows too harsh. Muller has recommended a seasonal closure for the area, possibly running from November through April, but it’s something Fish and Game hasn’t decided on yet. “At this point, with all the development and the number of people moving into the area, it needs to be highly considered,” she said. “I have one enforcement officer for 1.5 million acres. Having a closure to protect wildlife is something I would really like to see in the future.” Arkle understands where Muller is coming from, and she said most people who live in Boise and appreciate the foothills understand, too. “We consistently hear from citizens that wildlife habitat and experiences are equally important to them when it comes down to recreation versus wildlife needs,” she said. Because Fish and Game forbids adding trail connectivity, Arkle said Ridge to Rivers will just need to get more “creative” when it comes to linking trails together for those who live in the Barber Valley. She said utilizing the Boise Greenbelt or new bike lanes could help. “Everybody is going to have to give a little,” Arkle said. “Everyone wants to continue to enjoy both the hunting and wildlife viewing, and the question is going to be, ‘how do we do that as we continue to grow?’”

When the Boulder-White Cloud mountains were declared a wilderness by the United States Congress earlier this year, Idaho mountain bikers may have had the most bitter reaction. “It is a tragic time for the Boulder WhiteClouds” wrote former Outdoor Alliance Regional Director Tom Flynn in a blog posted by the Wood River Bicycle Coalition. “It is tragic because we will never be able to ride these trails again.” In his post, Flynn wrote he supports existing and future wilderness designations but thought a national monument status would have been a more inclusive action for the Boulder-White Clouds, because mountain bikes could still be allowed. Wilderness designations, meanwhile, forbid any mechanized transport. “My heart breaks for future mountain bikers that will never get the chance to ride Castle Divide, or to have their breath taken away when they pedal to the ridge overlooking Ants Basin,” he wrote. “These rides have a near-mythical status for Idaho mountain bikers, inspiring us to explore and care for big, will landscapes. We mourn their loss.” The broken hearts of bikers may be healed by a new piece of legislation called the HumanPowered Wildlands Travel Management Act of 2015, which aims to open wilderness areas to mountain bikers. If the bill passes, bike access would granted on a case-by-case basis by land managers such as the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management, depending on jurisdiction. According to British publication Mountain Bike Rider, some research shows mountain bike wheels actually do less damage to trails than hikers and horses—both of which are allowed in wilderness areas. “Jeff Marion from the U.S. Geological Survey looked at 125 [kilometers] of trail in the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, Tennessee and Kentucky, comparing equestrian, walking, [mountain biking] and ATV trails. And lo and behold, [biking] trails had the least erosion,” the article stated. Without a sponsor, the bill still faces a long climb to get to Capitol Hill. However, according to Outside Magazine, the Sustainable Trails Coalition raised $70,000 and hired a lobbying outﬁt to push the measure through Congress. The draft legislation is currently being revised by congressional staff. —Jessica Murri BOISEweekly | JANUARY 6–12, 2016 | 19

BEERGUZZLER DOING THE CAN-CAN Nothing against winter brews, with their big, bold flavor profiles, but I need a break. I’d love to take a breather from the winter weather as well, so I’m going to try to channel spring by cracking open a few cans that are lighter and brighter than the holiday seasonals. BACKWOODS BREWING COMPANY COPPERLINE AMBER ALE, $1.60$1.90 From the Carson, Wash., brewery near the Columbia River, this ale is a hazy, light amber brew with a dense, twofinger head that collapses quickly. There is a lot of malt-laced biscuit on the nose along with tart fruit and resiny hops. It’s well balanced on the palate, with smooth malt, soft hops, pear and roasted grain, and the finish is clean and dry. CROOKED FENCE TRAIN WRECK RED ALE, $1.50$1.80 This ale pours a ruby tinged, bright amber with a light tan, porous head that leaves a nice lacing. Sweet biscuit aromas dominate, backed by caramel colored malt and just a subtle hint of earthy hops. It’s round and creamy in the mouth with yeasty bread flavors, smooth malt, a touch of black pepper and a bigger hop bite than the nose would predict. It’s a nice take on the style from this local brewery. VICTORY BREWING VITAL IPA, $1.60-$1.90 This hazy, straw colored brew from Downingtown, Penn., produces an explosive, three-finger head with good retention. A mix of big pine and fruity hops leads off, followed by a nice hit of sweet citrus. The palate is a mix of bracing, but not overly bitter, hops, soft malt, ripe lemon and grapefruit. It’s fresh and just the thing to chase away the winter blues. —David Kirkpatrick BOISE WEEKLY.COM

opment of civilization. I predict 2016 will bring you opportunities that have metaphorical resemblances to the early rope. Your task will be to develop and embellish on what nature provides.

2016. In my opinion, you need a lot of face-to-face encounters with life in its raw state. Symbolically speaking, this should be a nonumbrella year.

an excellent time to wrap up longterm projects you’ve been working on—and also to be at peace with abandoning those you can’t.

few months are likely to intensify. That’s mostly good, but may also require adjustments. How will you respond as immensity taps at your life?

Case No. CV NC 1517719 NOTICE OF HEARING ON NAME CHANGE (Adult) A Petition to change the name of Dallas Breck Young, now residing in the City of Boise, State of Idaho, has been ﬁled in the District Court in Ada County, Idaho. The name will change to Dallas Uptown Brown. The reason for the change in name is: due to marriage and personal preference.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): John Steinbeck won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1962. His novel, *Of Mice and Men*, helped win him the award, but it required extra persistence. When he’d almost finished the manuscript, he went out on a date with his wife. While they were gone, his puppy Toby ripped his precious pages into confetti. As mad as he was, he didn’t punish the dog, but got busy on a rewrite. Later he considered the possibility that Toby had served as a helpful literary critic. The new edition of *Of Mice and Men* was Steinbeck’s breakout book. I’m guessing that in recent months you have received comparable assistance, Aries—although you may not realize it was assistance until later this year. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Remember back to what your life was like during the first nine months of 2004. I suspect that you fell just short of fulfilling a dream. It’s possible you were too young to have the power you needed. Or maybe you were working on a project that turned out to be pretty good but not great. Maybe you were pushing to create a new life for yourself but weren’t wise enough to make a complete breakthrough. Almost 12 years later, you have returned to a similar phase in your long-term cycle. You are better equipped to do what you couldn’t quite do before:

create the masterpiece, finish the job, rise to the next level. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): To become a skillful singer, you must learn to regulate your breath. You’ve got to take in more oxygen than usual for extended periods, and do it in ways that facilitate rather than interfere with the sounds coming out of your mouth. When you’re beginning, it feels weird to exert so much control over an instinctual impulse, which previously you’ve done unconsciously. Later, you have to get beyond your self-conscious discipline so you can reach a point where the proper breathing happens easily and gracefully. Although you may not be working to become a singer in 2016, Gemini, I think you will have comparable challenges: 1. to make conscious an activity that has been unconscious; 2. to refine and cultivate that activity; 3. to allow your consciously-crafted approach to become unselfconscious again. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Ancient humans didn’t “invent” fire, but rather learned about it from nature and figured out how to produce it as needed. Ropes had a similar origin. Our ancestors employed long vines made of tough fiber as primitive ropes, and eventually got the idea to braid and knot the vines together for greater strength. This technology was used to hunt, climb, pull, fasten and carry. It was essential to the devel-

24 | JANUARY 6–12, 2016 | BOISEweekly

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): British author Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) had a day job with the postal service until he was in his 50s. For years he awoke every morning at 5:30 and churned out 2,500 words before heading to work. His goal was to write two or three novels a year, a pace he came close to achieving. “A small daily task, if it really be daily,” he wrote in his autobiography, “will beat the labors of a spasmodic Hercules.” I recommend you borrow from his strategy in 2016, Leo. Be regular and disciplined and diligent as you practice the art of gradual, incremental success.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Around the world, an average of 26 languages go extinct every year. But it increasingly appears that Welsh will not be one of them. It has enjoyed a revival in the past few decades. In Wales, it’s taught in many schools, appears on road signs, and is used in some mobile phones and computers. Is there a comparable phenomenon in your life, Libra? A tradition that can be revitalized and should be preserved? A part of your heritage that may be useful to your future? A neglected aspect of your birthright that deserves to be reclaimed? Make it happen in 2016.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Umbrellas shelter us from the rain, saving us from the discomfort of getting soaked and the embarrassment of bad hair. They also protect us from the blinding light and sweltering heat of the sun. I’m very much in favor of these practical perks. But when umbrellas appear in your nightly dreams, they may have a less positive meaning. They can indicate an inclination to shield yourself from natural forces, or to avoid direct contact with primal sensuality. I hope you won’t do much of that in

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Thirteenth-century author Geoffrey Chaucer produced a collection of stories known as *The Canterbury Tales*. It became a seminal text of English literature even though he never finished it. The most influential book ever written by theologian Thomas Aquinas was a work he gave up on before it was completed. The artist Michelangelo never found the time to put the final touches on numerous sculptures and paintings. Why am I bringing this theme to your attention? Because 2016 will be

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A bottle of Chateau Cheval Blanc wine from 1947 sold for $304,000. Three bottles of Chateau Lafite-Rothschild 1869 went for $233,000 apiece. The mystique about aged wine provokes crazy behavior like that. But here’s a more mundane fact: Most wine deteriorates with age, and should be sold within a few years of being bottled. I’m thinking about these things as I meditate on your long-term future, Sagittarius. My guess is that your current labor of love will reach full maturity in the next 18 to 20 months. This will be a time to bring all your concentration and ingenuity to bear on making it as good as it can be. By September 2017, you will have ripened it as much as it can be ripened. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In her poem “Tree,” California poet Jane Hirshfield spoke of a young redwood tree that’s positioned next to a house. Watch out! It grows fast—as much as three feet per year. “Already the first branch-tips brush at the window,” Hirshfield wrote. “Softly, calmly, immensity taps at your life.” I suspect this will be an apt metaphor for you in 2016. The expansion and proliferation you have witnessed these past

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Centuries ago, lettuce was a bitter, prickly weed that no one ate. But ancient Egyptians guessed its potential, and used selective breeding to gradually convert it into a tasty food. I see 2016 as a time when you could have a comparable success. Look around at your life, and identify weed-like things that could, through your transformative magic, be turned into valuable assets. The process may take longer than a year, but you can set in motion an unstoppable momentum that will ensure success. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Imagine a beloved elder has been writing down your life story in the form of a fairy tale. Your adventures aren’t rendered literally, as your waking mind might describe them, but rather through dream-like scenes that have symbolic resonance. With this as our template, I’ll predict a key plot development of 2016: You will grow increasingly curious about a “forbidden” door—one you have always believed should not be opened. Your inquisitiveness will reach such an intensity that you will consider locating the key for that door. If it’s not available, you may even think about breaking down the door.

DEAR MINERVA, What do you do when you really like someone, but that someone only keeps you around when they can’t ﬁnd anyone better? When the second someone else is there it’s like you become invisible to them. You try to stay away but the minute they call you, you give in and go running. This is the situation I am in, and it is taking a toll on my emotional well-being. Help me, Minerva! —Standby

DEAR STANDBY, Does this person know how you feel? Have you been intimate? What is the basis of the relationship thus far? Most people are not psychic. If this person is at all like me, maybe they don’t pick up on subtle hints that there could be more to the relationship than friendship. As someone who is romantically oblivious, I ﬁnd it helpful to have some clear communication on feelings. The blunter, the better. If they do know how you feel and still take advantage of you, then you must draw the line and move on completely. As painful as it is, no matter how much you like someone, sometimes it just isn’t going to happen. As someone who has always been the kind of good sport is sound like you have been, I wish I hadn’t wasted so much of my time on men who didn’t deserve it. Love and learn.

THE DRINKING JACKET Modern science—including MythBusters—has thoroughly debunked the idea that drinking booze will keep you warm. The opposite is actually true. Nipping on the bottle might make you think you’re warm, but it also makes you think you’re a good singer. In reality, alcohol lowers your body temperature and could kill you pretty quick if you’re out in the cold and underdressed. Here to solve the age old dilemma of getting drunk without risking hypothermia is The Drinking Jacket. Sartorially pleasing with a $84.99, thedrinkingjacket.com slim cut and motorcycle jacketstyle front, the jacket comes in four understated hues: black, blue, grey and red, and, for all intents and purposes, looks like little more than a smart hooded coat. Hidden throughout, James Bond-style, are scads of imbiber-friendly features: a bottle opener zipper; Neoprene-lined can/bottle koozie/ pocket combo; built in “drinking mits” with slip-resistant grips; an inside pocket sized for ﬂasks; a secure pocket for your phone, wallet and ID; and a strap for securing you sunglasses. On top of all that— and with four other pockets—it’s warm and lightweight. Fronted by comedian and writer Zane Lamprey, The Drinking Jacket is like a Swiss Army knife married a hoodie in order to keep boozehounds both toasted and toasty.
