EDITOR’S NOTE SOMETIMES IT MATTERS The announcement of the 2016 Pulitzer Prize winners on April 18 kicked off the awards season for journalists across the country. So it’s with no small irony that amid this yearly round of backpatting comes two alarming reports on the state of our industry. First, on April 13, careercast.com unveiled its annual Top 10 list of worst jobs in the United States. Out of 200 rankings, newspaper reporter came in dead last—and not for the first time. This is the third year in a row that ink-stained wretch bottomed out the list. (Broadcaster was separated from reporter by logger.) The second bit of bad news for the news business came on April 18 from the Associated Press, which, on the same day, earned a Pulitzer for public service reporting. According to a study from the Media Insight Project, APNORC Center for Public Affairs Research and American Press Institute, only 6 percent of Americans say they “have a lot of confidence in the media,” rivaling the United States Congress for disrespectability. Ouch. I’m not going to go into how much of this derision is fair—I can think offhand of numerous incidents when it was certainly earned by everyone from national television networks to hometown newspapers—but I will point out there is a middle ground between Pulitzer glory and error-prone/clickbait/fluff shame. Once in awhile, reporting actually helps make a difference. Case in point: so-called Right to Try legislation, which provides greater access to medication for those suffering from terminal illnesses. In February, Boise Weekly News Editor George Prentice reported on the case of John Knudsen, who was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (aka ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease) in 2010. He had lobbied lawmakers for the “right to try” drugs not yet fully approved by the Food and Drug Administration, but his pleas had gone unanswered—that is, until BW started reporting on it. Championed by Boise Democratic Rep. Melissa Wintrow, the bill was signed into law in March. Prentice sat with Knudsen as he was given the pen used to sign the law.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM
OPINION THE CHILDREN’S CRUSADE Versus that ‘Establishment’ BILL COPE There are a couple of new books out, and they couldn’t have come at a better time. One is Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right (by Jane Mayer) and the other is Why the Right Went Wrong: Conservatism—from Goldwater to the Tea Party and Beyond (by E.J. Dionne Jr.). The urgency of both is not only do they shine a bright light on those plutocratic backroom dealers—particularly the brothers Koch—skulking about behind a screen of the pressure-group snake-pits, but they put it into recent historical context, when a handful of wealthy and angry malcontents decided they’d had enough of democracy and set forth to connive and plot the United States into submission. So what?!... gasp the politically worldly. We already know about the Koch brothers. We already know their father Fred was a libertarian loon who deeply loathed any organized labor, government regulation, justice for minority Americans, academic freedom or anti-war sentiments. We already know he had no qualms about taking industrialstrength money from both Adolf Hitler and Joe Stalin, that he co-founded the John Birch Society to resist the civil rights movement, that he was himself a racist, elitist douche. We already know he infected his sons and many others in the privileged class with his diseased ideology, and we already know the sons have, for almost 50 years, been erecting a network of fifth-column infiltration units, dedicated to undoing every progressive achievement in American history, from public schools to voting rights. So what’s new? Nothing. The privileged class has been using its wealth to protect and expand its wealth since long before Fred Koch came along. Kings, emperors, rajahs, tsars and shoguns have since time immemorial used subterfuge, clout and worse to ensure nobody could upset their golden apple cart with unreasonable demands for human rights, dignity, justice and a modest share in the bounties of the earth. However, over the centuries, those persistent bastards in the un-privileged classes have devised ways to get around the monarchs, the oligarchs and the plutocrats to snatch—albeit in incremental chunks—pieces of what was theirs in the first place, i.e. rights, dignity, justice and the fruits of their own labors. The ancient Greeks provided a template, and over the millennia, bit by bit, the progressive impulse has been expanded to the point where, in much of the world if not most, the commoners have as much to say about their destinies as the privileged. Again... nothing new. Only today, within one faction of the progressive impulse, there has grown a culture of disdain for the very BOISE WEEKLY.COM
trudging pragmatism that has empowered them to express such disdain in the first place. In a modern American context, I’m speaking of the Clinton camp as the trudging pragmatists, with the disdainers being those impatient souls who rally around Bernie Sanders as their champion to get more solutions, more fast. Yes, children. There is an “establishment.” In proper fact, there are two establishments and there has been since the seeds of democracy were first sown. In many ways, they may appear to function in the same manner, but one is the establishment that has brought you (among many other travesties) “Citizens United,” continuing LGBT suppression and the most devastating cascade of wealth to the wealthy in six generations. The other has brought you (among many other blessings) the Affordable Care Act, continuing LGBT liberation and the only viable counterpoint to the undue influence of the privileged class. Simply knowing that one establishment is so much more progressive than the other doesn’t satisfy those who threaten to reject party affiliation and party loyalty if they don’t get what they want. They might even feel superior to those of us who remain in the fold, believing themselves to be more independent in thought and more pure in purpose. Horseshit! If they don’t know that there’s not a damn thing new about insider politics, influence trading, back-door finagling and the art of compromise, it’s not the establishment’s fault— it is theirs, for either not learning history or not understanding it. If the only lesson to be learned from that history was the devastation dealt us by the other establishment—the one Fred Koch would approve of heartily and to which his sons pull the strings—we would all agree with them. But thank the gods of politics and parties there is an establishment that speaks for the rest of us, and at least since the administration of Franklin Roosevelt, it has spoken under the banner that reads “Democratic Party.” If that banner feels too restrictive to you—too slow or too contaminated, fine. But as you curse the establishment that got you here, do allow your more refined sensibilities just a partial recap of what we wouldn’t have had it not been around for the last century: Social Security, child labor laws, minimum wages, workman’s comp, food safety oversight, environmental protection, voting rights, Medicare, women’s suffrage, workplace safety, public broadcasting, public lands... and the undisputable truth of how totally f***ed we would be had it not been there to represent our interests against that other establishment.

OPINION HOPE FOR HOUSING
Chipping away at the ‘great unmet need’ of southwest Idaho JERRY BRADY The evacuation of Cooper Court by Boise police four months ago was professionally executed by police, popular with the public, traumatic for its occupants and inconclusive in its outcome. Those who were homeless then are largely homeless today, having drifted back into the shadows as the weather improved. Yet Cooper Court might turn out to have been a galvanizing event—a turning point where the city pivoted toward a better life for the homeless and, more importantly, more affordable housing in Boise. This is a column about hope. The sweep of the tent city took place months after a task force appointed by Boise Mayor Dave Bieter began working on the homeless challenge. Boise has historically provided lot of lowincome housing (unlike most cities its size) but when it came to the homeless, its law and policy has been that it is illegal to sleep on the street if a bed is available in a shelter. Hundreds had been arrested and millions of dollars spent on jails and courts as a consequence over the years. While the law hasn’t changed, Boise policy has shifted to favor “Housing First.” Modeled after success in Salt Lake City, this approach provides the chronically homeless with permanent housing and supportive services. According to a Boise State University, analysis this approach will over time more than pay for itself in lower police, court and emergency medical expenses. On Feb. 8, Bieter announced a two-pronged plan to provide 30 dwellings for the chronically homeless in scattered sites and about 30 at a single site, at a cost of about $5.5 million. These will likely roll out in 2017. The harder job is providing supportive services for a struggling population. It’s expensive, slow to take hold and thrives best with a lot of partners. In Salt Lake these included the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, other churches, several wealthy donors and the state of Utah. Locally, St. Luke’s and Saint Al’s are “in” because they absorb a Boise State-estimated $3.5 million a year in emergency room treatment for the chronically homeless. So are the Terry Riley Health Services; CATCH, a homeless agency for families; and other private and public agencies. Ada Country has been asked to kick in $250,000 a year. Credit the city for attempting a more humane and cost-effective—if tough-toexecute—solution. To keep this in perspective, a rolling population of nearly 700 men, women and children sleeps in Boise’s homeless shelters every night. Moreover, as many as 5,000 Boise families and individuals live so close to the bone that they’re 6 | APRIL 20–26, 2016 | BOISEweekly
one medical bill, abuse, divorce or layoff from missing a housing payment and becoming homeless themselves. Another 5,000 in Ada and Canyon counties live close to eviction, making affordable housing the great unmet need in southwestern Idaho. Is there hope things will get better? Downtown Boise is bursting with new construction, including a 159-unit apartment complex called The Fowler at Fourth and Myrtle streets, and a couple of higher-end condo developments. What is hopeful is that about an equal number of affordable and workforce housing residences will likely be built in downtown’s West End around the proposed new campus of the College of Western Idaho. One project with more than 100 residences would be a mix of families and individuals with incomes as low as 30 percent of the average low income up to market-rate incomes. Another would serve 50 low-income families. A third, to be built by Local Construct—the firm that restored the Owyhee and is building The Fowler—would provide 150-200 residences at Main Street and Whitewater Park Boulevard. While not restricted by income, nurses, firefighters and college staff could afford them and live close to work. The city owned this land and could have sold it off for high-end residences or offices, but did not. Additionally, four affordable “pocket neighborhoods” are coming out of the ground not far from downtown—three in Garden City and one near Vista Avenue in Boise. Sponsored by NeighborWorks Boise, these are smaller—but not tiny—houses on compact sites, close to the Boise Greenbelt or within walking distance of a bus line. They would provide about 75 homes in the lower-income and workforce market. These eight or so projects don’t begin to meet the shortfall in affordable housing in the Treasure Valley. Less costly approaches will be needed but over many years, southwest Idaho has already managed to build an astonishing and little appreciated 11,685 low-income residences, according to the Idaho Housing and Finance Association. They trace back, in whole or in part, to federal dollars and those funds are declining, thanks to Congress. That’s not good news, but this is a hopeful column. Let us celebrate that which is hopeful.

GEORGE PRENTICE John Knudsen stretched out his once-muscle bound arm, robbed of its strength by ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), aka Lou Gehrig’s disease. “You’ve got an amazingly sharp mind. It’s a shame that your body isn’t paying attention,” said Rep. Melissa Wintrow (D-Boise). “Here, I’ve got something for you.” Wintrow tucked a pen inside Knudsen’s clenched fist. “The governor and I are the only two people who have touched this pen,” she said. “This is the pen that Governor Otter signed the Right to Try bill into law [with]. Your name is a part of history now.” Not many people, let alone Idaho lawmakers, knew who John Knudsen was a few months ago. Soon after Boise Weekly profiled Knudsen and his advocacy for so-called Right to Try legislation—which would allow patients with a fatal diagnosis the right to ask a physician for access to drugs not yet fully approved by the Food and Drug Administration—lawmakers from both sides of the aisle jumped on the bandwagon to push it through. “I sent an email to all of the legislators,” said Knudsen, pausing for breath every few words. “I even thanked the ones that didn’t vote ‘yes.’” There weren’t many. House Bill 481 overwhelmingly passed through the Idaho House
Approximately 150 College of Idaho students protest the dismissal of two C of I profesors.
HARD LESSONS
“Most importantly, our hemp CBD products have no tetrahydrocannabinol, better known as THC,” said Bordeaux, referring to the principal ingredient that makes marijuana a controlled substance in Idaho. “Secondly, it’s important to know that the hemp we’re using comes from stalks and stems of the male variety, not the female flowering variety. That’s why it’s OK to use, like a lot of other hemp products.” Another hurdle Bordeaux and Kilmartin had to clear was how to source the hemp. It turns out, they said, they can’t import hemp grown in other U.S. states into Idaho, which is why they turned to one of the largest agricultural hemp producers in Europe. “It’s shipped to us in dry form from Switzerland,” Bordeaux said. “Idaho law exempts products from cannabis stalks and stems as long as there isn’t any THC.” Global CBD is already being sold in Idaho’s panhandle. “My goal is for Sandpoint to be the CBD capital of the nation,” said Bordeaux. “But above all, it’s about helping people. I think a lot of people are going to be excited to see this.”
College of Idaho students who showed up in force April 18 to protest the sudden dismissal of two popular professors said it was news to them that C of I President Charlotte Borst was willing to sit down and talk to them about what she insisted was a non-renewal of contracts rather than “firings.” “Each of the faculty members mentioned by the protesters was on a visiting contract that, according to guidelines in the Faculty Handbook, runs out after this year,” said Borst, adding that she understood some people “want a reason for the decisions” but could not share details “of our personnel process.” Approximately 150 students at the Caldwell liberal arts college spent part of a particularly nice early spring afternoon in the campus’ Morrison Quadrangle, not to soak up the sun, but to air their frustrations over the pending departures of Dr. Isaac Hunter, a visiting psychology professor since 2014, and Dr. Chris Saunders, a visiting chemistry professor since 2012. Both professors are C of I alums—Hunter graduated in 2004 while Saunders graduated in 2002. Protesters said they’re concerned about the prospect that the institution was placing a greater emphasis on faculty-led research over quality of education. “We want our school to prioritize students and the students’ education as its main goal and not towards the focus of research,” said student Natasha Dacic, her remarks echoing through the quad via loudspeaker. Dacic, a sophomore at C of I and coorganizer of the protest, was joined by other speakers and students who held signs that read “Education Over Publication” and “Stand With Saunders.” “I’m here to stand up for these two professors that have made a big, positive impact on my life,” said sophomore chemistry student Noelle Quong. “The College of Idaho emphasizes frequent and meaningful interaction with faculty as part of a liberal arts education. With Professor Saunders and Professor Hunter not returning, we as students are concerned about what’s going to happen next.” Meanwhile, Borst said, “I appreciate their concerns, and I will continue striving to serve the best interests of our student body, the faculty and the entire College of Idaho community.”

and Senate before making its way to the governor’s desk. “John, the governor told me to tell you how pleased he was to sign this into law,” said Wintrow. Standing near Knudsen was Dr. James Quinn, a former orthopedic surgeon and emergency care physician, and the current investigator for Boise’s Advanced Clinical Research laboratory. “I didn’t do as much as Melissa did, but I sure was proud to be part of this,” said Quinn, who offered expert testimony before both the House and Senate Health and Welfare committees. “You know what’s interesting about this? That if a patient and doctor ask for the drug and the pharmaceutical company agrees, there won’t be any profit on what is considered an experimental drug.” Wintrow explained that many drug com-
panies who made experimental drugs available to dying patients could only offer drugs “at cost”—they won’t make any profit. As written, the Right to Try law will only permit drugs that have cleared FDA safety tests but have not yet been given full FDA approval. “It’s too late for someone like me, but this will help a lot of other people,” said Knudsen, looking at the official pen that turned Right to Try from an idea to a law. His wife Nancy walked into the room. “We should have champagne,” she said and minutes later, guests were raising their glasses. “Here’s to you, John,” said Wintrow. “How do you feel?” Knudsen looked up, and took a long, labored breath before responding. “Grateful,” he said.
IDAHO-PRODUCED HEMP-BASED CANNABIDIOL COMING TO THE TREASURE VALLEY Idaho businessmen Joel Bordeaux and Kelsey Kilmartin watched as dozens of parents pleaded with lawmakers to allow children with severe forms of epilepsy to be legally treated with cannabidiol (CBD) during an emotional 2015 debate at the Idaho Statehouse. The 2015 Idaho Legislature approved a bill that would have legalized the use of CBD, but Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter vetoed the measure after his Office of Drug Policy said the bill was just a step toward legalizing medical marijuana. Meanwhile, Bordeaux and Kilmartin were already working on an alternative. “I saw the writing on the wall regarding this years ago,” Bordeaux said, speaking from the Sandpoint-based headquarters of CBD Global Extracts (cbdglobalextracts.com), which he and Kilmartin co-own. “The only way to go on this was hemp.” Now, Bordeaux and Kilmartin are preparing to put their hempbased CBD products in Idaho stores, including a number in Treasure Valley. “But those retailers really wanted to see some clarification from the Idaho attorney general’s office,” said Bordeaux. “That’s a critical piece.” So, Bordeaux was anxious to forward an opinion from the AG’s office which offers “an informal opinion” on Idaho’s definitions of marijuana.

MUSIC GUIDE
THE MILK CARTON KIDS, APRIL 27, THE EGYPTIAN Grammy-nominated The Milk Carton Kids are one of those ephemeral bands. Folk/Americana gets close, yet they’re somehow both anachronistic and modern. MCK formed in 2001 but the duo of 30-somethings Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan is so engaging musically and lyrically—and personally in betweensong banter—it’s like the band has been around forever. However, they’re clearly products of the 21st century: Their first two albums Retrospect (Milk Carton Records, March 2011, as Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan) and Prologue (Milk Carton Records, July 2011, as The Milk Carton Kids) are still available for free (themilkcartonkids.com). With a sound and sensibility that marries Simon and Garfunkel, The Avett Brothers and Josh Ritter with a soupcon of The Smothers Brothers, it’s just Pattengale and Ryan and their acoustic guitars. With nothing to hide behind, performances are discernibly intimate, even in a large theater or hall and audiences can really see how incredibly talented and unpretentious Pattengale and Ryan are. In a 2015 interview with Guitar World, Pattengale said his 1954 Martin 0-15 is “kind of beat to shit. … After touring it for five years with this band, it’s developed a kind of tone that’s hard to replace when I’m swapping guitars in and out. Every time that one’s in the mix, it seems to be saying the right thing.” —Amy Atkins With Caitlin Canty, 8 p.m., $22-$65. The Egyptian Theatre, 400 W. Main St., 208-387-1273, egyptiantheatre.net.

SCREEN EXTRA
NUCLEAR NIGHTMARE: SAFE SIDE OF THE FENCE DOCUMENTARY SCREENS AT THE FLICKS Since 2000, more than 3,500 workers at Idaho nuclear facilities have been paid over $250 million in compensation through the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program. Nationwide, those numbers are much higher, but may be a fraction of the nuclear program’s true costs to America’s “Cold War vets.” In many cases, illnesses or injuries were suffered on account of poor workplace safety and failure to properly inform workers of the risks of handling radioactive materials. “I don’t think we can be overly complacent because we’re still having exposures,” said Snake River Alliance Nuclear Program Director Beatrice Brailsford. “We are much more able to provide protection than we used to, but ... any mistake can have serious consequences.” As recently as April 17, reports of a sizeable leak in a nuclear waste storage tank at the Hanford Site on the Columbia River caused emergency crews to respond to what some described as a “catastrophic” incident. When the United States nuclear program was in its infancy in the 1940s and ’50s, problems of workplace safety and treatment of laborers were more acute. This is evident at the Mallinckrodt Chemical Works in St. Louis, Mo.— one of the first uranium refineries in the world and the subject of The Safe Side of the Fence. “Those workers were some of the most contaminated workers in history,” said director Tony West, who will travel to Boise as a guest of the Snake River Alliance for the film’s screening at The Flicks. The Mallinckrodt workers refined uranium used at the University of Chicago Pile-1 and the Manhattan Project. Later, the West Lake Landfill, where waste was illegally deposited, became a Superfund site. Its workers suffer disproportionately from contamination-related illnesses. The compensation program itself is 16 years old, but only a few of the people who worked at the plant have received money through it. West made the plant’s lasting impact on St. Louis and learning why compensation has been elusive for its workers the thrust of his documentary. “The story’s about these workers, but it’s also about waste,” he said. —Harrison Berry 18 | APRIL 20–26, 2016 | BOISEweekly

BEERGUZZLER IT’S SAISON SEASON
BRASSERIE DUPONT SAISON, $6-$7.50 This Belgian brew is considered by most as the benchmark saison. It’s a vibrant straw color with an explosive, two-finger head that sticks around. Fairly soft on the nose, there are hints of apple, pear, floral citrus, sourdough bread and lemon zest. Beautifully balanced in the mouth, it offers bright citrus, green apple, spicy yeast and subtle hops on the dry, expansive finish. GOOSE ISLAND SOFIE BELGIAN STYLE FARMHOUSE ALE, $3-$4 Pours a hazy, copper tinged blond with a decent head that collapses quickly, leaving a little lacing. It opens with tart grape, Meyer lemon and yeasty bread aromas backed by orange zest, white pepper, chamomile and a touch of cucumber. There’s a nice, but not overwhelming, sour bite that’s balanced by ripe lime, orange and pear. A bit of spice comes through on the finish. SELKIRK ABBEY SAINT STEPHEN SAISON ALE, $6.50-$8 A 22-ounce bomber from this Post Falls, Idaho brewery, it’s a soft amber in the glass topped with a thin but persistent head. The yeasty aromas are complemented by fruity grain, citrus, green apple and floral hops. On the palate you get pear and plum combining with flavors of bread, pepper, clove and coriander. Not overly sour, it finishes lightly bitter. —David Kirkpatrick 20 | APRIL 20–26, 2016 | BOISEweekly

The saison style originated in the Frenchspeaking region of Belgium, where it was brewed in the cooler months for summer consumption. Originally low in alcohol (around 3 percent) it was the beverage of choice for local farmworkers. Today, most are double the alcohol but the roots of the farmhouse ale style have been preserved.
URBAN SMOKE SLINGS BARBECUE Plus two new sushi options open TARA MORGAN Low-and-slow buffs will find lots to love at Boise’s new barbecue trailer, Urban Smoke. Parked in a lot at Franklin and Five Mile roads, Urban Smoke is run by husband and wife team Amy Bell and Joe Bailey. “I’ve been backyard barbequing for a long time and we just decided to start this. … I quit my 9-5 job; I worked for the water company for four years and I was a foreman for a construction company for 12,” said Bailey. “I quit all that and gave it all up and did this.” Bailey had his smoker custom built in Texas to fit on the back of his shiny black trailer. “We do a dry rub; we make our own barbecue sauce,” said Bailey. “We make everything on the truck—the mac salad, our coleslaw, our beans are amazing.” In addition to slinging super tender pork ribs by the half- and full-rack, Urban Smoke also offers pulled pork sandwiches and smoked pork brats. You need to get there early for the brisket, which sold out by 11 a.m. on a recent Friday. “The brisket, we put a dry rub on it and then it goes on the smoker,” said Bell. “Depending on how large the brisket is, it can take anywhere from 10-12 hours.” Sides include the aforementioned mac salad—featuring large rigatoni noodles lacquered in mayo, slivers of hard-boiled egg and minced onions—along with sweet beans strewn with hunks of pork and coleslaw studded with carrots and shredded red and green cabbage. “We also offer what we call our Urban wings, which are drumsticks,” said Bell. “They’re smoked in the smoker and then we put them in either our Urban sauce or hot sauce.” Urban Smoke’s tomato-based barbecue sauces, while not technically necessary, are a great compliment to the meat—the Urban sauce is tart with a mild kick, while the hot has a lingering burn. “We did a lot of testing with our barbecue sauces and some of our dry rubs,” said Bell. “We probably went through 60 different recipes with friends and family just trying out what was the

Eagle Road in Meridian. Owner Ryan Jiang is in the process of revamping the 270-seat space, which formerly housed Mongo’s Grill.

The main menu includes a standard line-up of sushi, sashimi and special rolls, along with dishes like Pad Thai, Soba noodle soup and miso Chilean sea bass.

In addition to
a long sushi bar, there’s an actual bar with six tap handles pouring everything from the classic Kirin Ichiban to Sockeye’s Dagger Falls IPA and Oakshire’s Espresso Stout. The lunch menu is littered with specials, like the reasonably priced Sashimi Bento Box ($8.99), which features miso soup, iceberg salad topped with carrot-ginger dressing, nine pieces of sashimi, a California roll, a mound of warm sushi rice and a few slices of melon. Dinner options range from sushi and sashimi entrees to rice bowls to noodle soups and an assortment of teriyaki dishes. Sakana is open Monday through Thursday, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.; and Sunday from noon to 9 p.m. For more info and the full menu, visit sakanasushiboise.com.

Camp Rainbow Gold leader talks about working with kids and moving her organization into an independent nonprofit
MAILING ADDRESS P.O. Box 1657, Boise, ID 83701
ADOPT-A-PET These pets can be adopted at Simply Cats.
HARRISON BERRY There’s a photo banner that scrolls across the top of the Camp Rainbow Gold website showing children at play, having what looks like the time of their lives. The children have cancer diagnoses—some are cancer survivors—and CRG specializes in giving them and their families outdoor summer experiences at two camps in the Wood River Valley. Elizabeth Linzberg has been the executive director at CRG since 2007. In 2014, she moved her organization out from under the auspices of the American Cancer Society to make it an independent nonprofit organization, building a board of directors, fundraising and hiring new staff. Boise Weekly caught up with her to talk about kids with cancer, CRG and getting her start working with child victims of crime and abuse. You’ve been executive director since 2007. How has your role as a leader changed? Under the ACS, my title said “executive director,” but I was really leading a program. We didn’t have to do anything to support our programs, so the transition has been from that view to leader of an organization that has over a $1 million budget now and eight employees. I’ve gone from a lot of hands-on to discussions about what our T-shirts are going to look like to how are we going to raise the funds to support the program. How do you bring levity to kids with cancer? We’re unique in that we encompass the entire family. There are studies showing the siblings have more long-term [psychological] effects than the child with cancer. What we believe we’re bringing back in is some hope, some laughter and some fun. When you do that and you see the laughter—and the laughter’s the thing that’s the best—you know [you’ve] been successful and you know they’re receiving so much good. What are some of the things that come out of retreats and camps? They bring up a lot of bullying issues. They have what’s “kindly” referred to as “chemo brain.” Teens are cruel. We try to support them through that. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

We do the family camp where the whole family comes up. One of the most powerful nights of that camp is, we split the kids from the parents and the parents actually do sit in a circle and say what their stories are. I was asked to come, and it was one of the most powerful hours of my life hearing these families talk about their experiences. What about outcomes? A lot of our campers grow up and become counselors. One of our favorite stories is a young man named Tim, that had brain cancer, who was a camper. He was a junior counselor, he’s now a doctor in Coeur d’Alene. His dream that he’s working on: He builds prosthetics for children. His big dream is one day to open a nonprofit here in Boise to provide free prosthetics to kids that have lost limbs. How did you start working with children? I had a daughter that weighed 2 pounds when she was born, so I pretty much lived at St. Luke’s and was trying to get back on my feet because I was recently divorced, no job, recently had a baby. [The staff at St. Luke’s] started learning my story and one of them said, “Hey, there’s a part-time secretary position at the CARES unit.” I moved into a job called [multi-disciplinary team] coordinator. When a child is abused, oftentimes they have to tell their stories eight to 10 times in order to get somebody prosecuted for that abuse. CARES’ role was to do a forensic interview on behalf of law enforcement and Health and Welfare to get the details, and for the prosecutor’s office as well. I made sure everyone had the right reports. However, being a single parent with a daughter and hearing those stories, I became jaded. My brother, who had been active in CRG for years, called me one day and said, “I know you want to change. The perfect job is open.” I took the job and haven’t looked back since. What’s the next big step for CRG? We currently lease our properties. Our dream is to own our own camp. So many stars have to align to make that happen. One thing our board and myself agree on is we don’t feel like our future is secure because we’re leasing a campsite.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): “The writer should never be ashamed of staring,” said Aries writer Flannery O’Connor. “There is nothing that does not require his attention.” This is also true for all of you Aries folks, not just the writers among you. And the coming weeks will be an especially important time for you to cultivate a piercing gaze that sees deeply and shrewdly. You will thrive to the degree that you notice details you might normally miss or regard as unimportant. What you believe and what you think won’t be as important as what you perceive. Trust your eyes.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “I measure the strength of a spirit by how much truth it can take,” said philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Measured by that standard, your strength of spirit has been growing—and may be poised to reach an all-time high. In my estimation, you now have an unusually expansive capacity to hold surprising, effervescent, catalytic truths. Do you dare invite all these insights and revelations to come pouring toward you? I hope so. I’ll be cheering you on, praying for you to be brave enough to ask for as much as you can possibly accommodate.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The ancient Greek geographer Pausanias told a story about how the famous poet Pindar got his start. One summer day, young Pindar decided to walk from his home in Thebes to a city 20 miles away. During his trek, he got tired and lay down to take a nap by the side of the road. As he slept, bees swarmed around him and coated his lips with wax. He didn’t wake up until one of the bees stung him. For anyone else, this might have been a bother. But Pindar took it as an omen that he should become a lyric poet, a composer of honeyed verses. And that’s exactly what he did in the ensuing years. I foresee you having an experience comparable to Pindar’s sometime soon, Taurus. How you interpret it will be crucial.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Göbekli Tepe was a monumental religious sanctuary built 11,600 years ago in the place we now call Turkey. Modern archaeologists are confounded by the skill and artistry with which its massive stone pillars were arranged and carved. According to conventional wisdom, humans of that era were primitive nomads who hunted animals and foraged for plants. So it’s hard to understand how they could have constructed such an impressive structure 7,000 years before the Great Pyramid of Giza. Writing in National Geographic, science journalist Charles C. Mann said, “Discovering that hunter-gatherers had constructed Göbekli Tepe was like finding that someone had built a 747 in a basement with an X-Acto knife.” In that spirit,
24 | APRIL 20–26, 2016 | BOISEweekly
Cancerian, I make the following prediction: In the coming months, you can accomplish a marvel that may have seemed beyond your capacity. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In myths and folklore, the ember is a symbol of coiled-up power. The fire within it is controlled. It provides warmth and glow even as its raw force is contained. There are no unruly flames. How much energy is stored within? It’s a reservoir of untapped light, a promise of verve and radiance. Now please ruminate further about the ember, Leo. According to my reading of the astrological omens, it’s your core motif right now. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Uh-oh. Or maybe I should instead say “Hooray!” You are slipping into the Raw Hearty Vivid Untamed Phase of your astrological cycle. The universe is nudging you in the direction of high adventure, sweet intensity and rigorous stimulation. If you choose to resist the nudges, odds are that you’ll have more of an “uh-oh” experience. If you decide to play along, “hooray!” is the likely outcome. To help you get in the proper mood, make the following declaration: “I like to think that my bones are made from oak, my blood from a waterfall, and my heart from wild daisies.” (That’s a quote from the poet McKenzie Stauffer.)
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In many cultures, the butterfly is a symbol of transformation and rebirth. In its original state as a caterpillar, it is homely and slowmoving. After its resurrection time in the chrysalis, it becomes a lithe and lovely creature capable of flight. The mythic meaning of the moth is quite different, however. Enchanted by the flame, it’s driven so strongly toward the light that it risks burning its wings. So it’s a symbol of intense longing that may go too far. In the coming weeks, Libra, your life could turn either way. You may even vacillate between being moth-like and butterfly-like. For best results, set an intention. What exactly do you want?
might so thoroughly incite your imagination that you’d be open to acting like a lunatic lover with boundless vigor?
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “I gladly abandon dreary tasks, rational scruples, reactive undertakings imposed by the world,” wrote Scorpio philosopher Roland Barthes. Why did he do this? For the sake of love, he said—even though he knew it might cause him to act like a lunatic as it freed up tremendous energy. Would you consider pursuing a course like that in the coming weeks, Scorpio? In my astrological opinion, you have earned some time off from the grind. You need a break from the numbing procession of the usual daily rhythms. Is there any captivating person, animal, adventure, or idea that
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “When I grow up, I want to be a little boy,” wrote novelist Joseph Heller in his book Something Happened. You have cosmic permission to make a comparable declaration in the coming days. In fact, you have a poetic license and a spiritual mandate to utter battle cries like that as often as the mood strikes. Feel free to embellish and improvise, as well: “When I grow up, I want to be a riot girl with a big brash attitude,” for example, or “When I grow up, I want to be a beautiful playful monster with lots of toys and fascinating friends who constantly amaze me.”
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Difficulties illuminate existence,” says novelist Tom Robbins, “but they must be fresh and of high quality.” Your assignment, Sagittarius, is to go out in search of the freshest and highest-quality difficulties you can track down. You’re slipping into a magical phase of your astrological cycle when you will have exceptional skill at rounding up useful dilemmas and exciting riddles. Please take full advantage! Welcome this rich opportunity to outgrow and escape boring old problems.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In one of his diaries, author Franz Kafka made this declaration: “Life’s splendor forever lies in wait around each one of us in all of its fullness—but veiled from view, deep down, invisible, far off. It is there, though, not hostile, not reluctant, not deaf. If you summon it by the right word, by its right name, it will come.” I’m bringing this promise to your attention, Aquarius, because you have more power than usual to call forth a command performance of life’s hidden splendor. You can coax it to the surface and bid it to spill over into your daily rhythm. For best results, be magnificent as you invoke the magnificence. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I’ve got a controversial message for you, Pisces. If you’re addicted to your problems or if you’re convinced that cynicism is a supreme mark of intelligence, what I’ll say may be offensive. Nevertheless, it’s my duty as your oracle to inform you of the cosmic tendencies, and so I will proceed. For the sake of your mental health and the future of your relationship with love, consider the possibility that the following counsel from French author André Gide is just what you need to hear right now: “Know that joy is rarer, more difficult, and more beautiful than sadness. Once you make this all-important discovery, you must embrace joy as a moral obligation.”

MINERVA’S BREAKDOWN
BLACK PANTHER NO. 1 For anyone still laboring under the impression that comics are for children, Marvel Comics’ Black Panther: Under Our Feet Pt. 1 should be a wake-up call. Wakandan King T’Challa, aka Black Panther, has returned to a restless kingdom upset by natural disaster, supervillains and the death of his sister, who had been ruling in his absence. The king now faces rebellion, the demands of the rule of law, his economic and civil obligations to his people—and grief for his sister. Black Panther No. 1 puts superpowered slam-fests in the back seat, with National Book Award-winner, $5, available at Captain Comics, 710 S. Vista Ave., MacArthur Fellow and comics firstcaptain-comics.com. timer Ta-Nehisi Coates focusing on the burdens and confusion of power and justice. Art by Brian Stelfreeze and Laura Martin makes T’Challa look hopelessly lost in his environment. If it sounds like a parable for contemporary America, well, you’re not wrong; and if you’re looking a primer on the character who will make his big screen debut in Captain America: Civil War, this is it. —Harrison Berry
$GYLFH IRU WKRVH RQ WKH YHUJH DEAR MINERVA, When the day comes that I walk in on my son masturbating, how do I let him know it’s normal and good without it being really awkward? —Touchy Subject
DEAR TOUCHY, Why wait for that day to come? Instill in him a respect for his body and respect for privacy from a young age. When kids discover their body and what feels good, you absolutely should be telling them what is appropriate in public versus private, but never shame them. If your son has his bedroom door closed, knock first. Encourage him to respect other people’s privacy and lead by example by respecting his. Embarrassing moments like walking in on masturbation that are accompanied by shame will only tell an impressionable child that there is something wrong with them or their body. Bodies are not dirty. Masturbation is OK. Sex is OK. Set realistic boundaries on things like that from the get go and you can hopefully avoid weirdness, resentment and lifelong hang-ups about sex. There are even children’s books, like Cristian YoungMiller’s Everybody Masturbates and Everybody Masturbates for Girls, which tackle the topic in an age-appropriate way. I know some people will disagree with my advice, but I would rather live in a world where we no longer feel ashamed of our bodies and natural desires than whether a few stuck-up prudes get mad at this blonde bombshell. Body and sex shaming has caused enough harm. The revolution is in our own hands! Good luck.
