EDITOR’S NOTE RIDE SAFE OUT THERE I’ve written in this space before about how important bikes were to my upbringing in rural north Idaho. With another Bike Week kicking off in Boise, my thoughts have again run to those sunny afternoons when my brother, friends and I had nowhere to be but somewhere on two wheels. As I’ve mentioned before, I grew up on five acres off a dirt road about nine miles south of Sandpoint. It wasn’t much like the neighborhood my own children are growing up in on the Boise Bench. My nearest friend lived about two miles away, and I had two more pals who were each another mile or so down their own dirt roads. When I got bored, I’d give my mom some vague announcement that I’d be gone for an unspecified amount of time, hop on my Huffy and disappear into the maze of narrow, gravelly lanes that snaked through the forest. Today that seems insane. Back then, cell phones hadn’t been invented, and we wouldn’t be caught dead wearing any kind of safety equipment. No one ever knew where we were going, including us. Sometimes, we’d get tired of hanging out at the corner gas station or lounging at the dump, and one of us would suggest riding into town. “Town” was almost 10 miles away, and we could only get there by riding at least five of those miles on the shoulder of U.S. Highway 95. Sometimes we’d push it all the way to Ponderay, a mile or two north of Sandpoint, where we’d buy 25 cent sodas at the then-new and somehow exotic K-Mart. For the most part, these 20-mile hauls ended without incident. One time, however, near the end of our trek, I asked one of my buddies for a sip off his water bottle. As a joke, I drank all the water and handed him the empty bottle. Still riding along, he took a swipe at me and I went down, rolling into the ditch and breaking my arm. We were still a way from my house, so he left me in the ditch to get an adult. I was probably laying there for an hour or so. I can’t imagine how pissed off I’d be at one of my own kids for being so reckless, but such is the nature of getting older. I would never recommend being so cavalier, so in the spirit of a safe Bike Week, remember to wear your helmet and don’t hog the water. —Zach Hagadone

OPINION TO THE CLASS OF ’16 You gotta go where you wanna go BILL COPE It been three years since I turned out my most recent commencement address. Frankly, I just got sick of writing the damn things, then never being asked to deliver them. Stupid schools! They don’t know what they’ve been missing. Anyway, it’s been three years and I’m back. It’s this STEM thing—the push among educators to emphasize science, technology, engineering and math in their curricula—that has convinced me these kids need to hear more than one tune. This address is aimed at high-school seniors, as it is too late for graduating college kids. Not unless they want to go back and start over again. ••• Congratulations to the class of ’16 here at ______ High. Go Panthers! (Warriors, Eagles, Visigoths, Cowpokes, Pirates, Badgers, Beavers, Bruins, whatever.) By now, most of you already know whether you’re continuing your education or not. And of those who are entering a college or university next fall, I suppose many of you have already decided what line of study you intend to pursue. I’m happy for you if you’ve already figured out what you want to do with your life. It’s not such an easy thing, to have your future plotted out by 18. You will go far... assuming it turns out that what you think you want to do now actually turns out to be what you’re perfectly content—or even moderately content—to be doing 10... 20... 30 years from now. At the same time, I suspect there’s a great share of you who don’t have any idea what you’re cut out for. At this point in your lives, I doubt you can picture yourself in grown-up clothes, let alone picture what you might be doing as a grownup. But it is not the least bit unnatural to be undecided about your future, particularly when it comes to picking a career. Most people end up doing what they have to do to accommodate the realities that intrude upon their bright illusions as they make that slog from being someone else’s dependent, to being dependable citizens. Many are the architects, for example, who dreamt of designing the eighth, ninth and 10th wonders of the modern world, only to spend their years drafting the plumbing specs for Taco Bells or trying to figure out where to put the guest bathroom so it doesn’t open into the dining room. It’s simply a fact of life that most people never even get to the base camp of whatever heights they once dreamt of scaling. It’s generally OK because, as it turns out, the world has more need for functional bathrooms than it has for more wonders of the world. This is not to say you shouldn’t have the bright illusions and lofty dreams. Absolutely, you should have them. They are what sustains the species, bright illusions BOISE WEEKLY.COM
and lofty dreams—first for ourselves, then for our children. And you should never, ever allow anyone else—even those who care very much for you, like your teachers—tell you what your bright illusions and lofty dreams should be. Which brings me to STEM. I know that for the past several years, probably starting in middle school, you have been inoculated with the notion it is incumbent on you to cram as much science, technology, engineering and mathematics into your noggins as possible—that the United States is falling behind and that if you guys don’t get your STEM together, the nation could turn into one big temp service, doing the grunt work for whatever India and China are innovating. All fine and good. Lord knows we need more science and math proficiency in America. But the whole truth is, we need more of every kind of proficiency in America. We haven’t fallen behind in engineering and technical expertise alone; we are falling behind in virtually every pursuit the human mind can enter into: history, philosophy, critical thinking, exploration, languages, cultural studies... you name it. And it’s not India and China that are outpacing us. It is our own past we aren’t keeping up with. For whatever reason, we have lost our respect for, and our faith in, the sort of eclectic liberal arts thinking that produced the most creative minds and ideas of past centuries. Man does not live by computer code, alone. It is our artists and writers, our philosophers and theologians, our historians and journalists and anthropologists, who put our scientific achievements and technical advancements into human perspective—who remind us there is mystery and majesty beyond all that math and machinery. So listen, boys and girls... if you have a hankering to spend a few years, or a lifetime, studying... say... 15th century Italian art... comparing Kant and Descartes to Nietzsche and Sartre... digging up pre-Columbian artifacts on the Yucatan Peninsula... writing poems, translating Greek tragedies or looking for bugs under tropical leaves... you go right ahead and do it. And don’t let anyone tell you that you’re wasting your educational opportunities if you don’t let the job market dictate your choices. Remember, this is a life you’re living—not an economic index. What’s more, by allowing industry to decide what is knowledge worth knowing and what isn’t, you would be failing something more fundamental than the U.S. economy—i.e. the fulfillment of human potential, the wonders of which are many yet to be explored. Now, go get ’em Panthers! (Warriors, Eagles, Visigoths, Cowpokes, Pirates, Badgers, Beavers, Bruins, whatever.) And good luck. BOISEweekly | MAY 11–17, 2016 | 5

The president of the United States has proposed creating a monument to gay rights. That’s a beautiful thought. It’s the sort of thing we do when a struggle is over, or a person has died and we want to remember them. But those in progressive states forget that in states like ours, the struggle is far, far from over. Here in Idaho, we still die for being gay. In the past several weeks another gay eastern Idaho teen took his life and 49-year-old Steven Nelson was lured to a lake, raped and then beaten to death by four men police say have a pattern of brutally assaulting gay men in Nampa, our state’s second largest city. A pattern. That means they’ve done it over and over without being caught. Why aren’t they caught? Why won’t men risk their jobs and safety and subject themselves to humiliation, harassment or discrimination to report being the victim of a crime? Please. There are problems with the law in half the states in our country. Gay people are covered under federal hate crimes laws but not under many state laws. Some also claim because Nelson was raped that the perpetrator was gay, so this death cannot be a hate crime. No. Rape is as much a crime of power and humiliation as of gratification. Do we forget how many men have come to recoil at their own desires? It’s self-loathing that’s instilled in them by the media, family and churches that can make them become violent attackers, seeking to destroy in others what they’ve been made to fear in themselves. Talk radio, Ted Cruz, a long list of churches, fathers, friends and memes on Facebook created these men. Yet, on the state and local level, government after government here refuses to say that cruelty to gay and transgender people is wrong. Believe me, you can use the terms gay and transgender interchangeably sometimes since few people seem to know the difference between us—or between us and the men who murdered Steven Nelson. Nationally, people want to keep us out of their bathrooms—even if we are there with the stall locked praying to any god that will listen to just let us invisibly use the restroom and get out alive. So, yes, this is a hate crime. A hate crime is crime that sends with it a message to all who belong to the class, race or religion of the victim: you may be next. Nelson was targeted because he was gay and if you are, too, then be afraid.
A hate crime goes beyond the vandalism, assault, mutilation or murder of a victim. It instills fear in an entire class of people. It is a crime of terror. Here in Idaho, we have quietly faced a lot of it. Here in Idaho, talk show hosts still broadcast calls suggesting violence against gay and transgender people. I myself have sat in-studio, on-air while this happened and the host, dumbstruck, set the air silent and apologized. If I’d not been there I doubt the call would have ended. Here in Idaho thousands of people spent a decade educating, negotiating, gathering public support, legislative co-sponsors of both parties and working to pass a law to include gay and transgender people in Idaho’s nondiscrimination laws. Still, Idaho Speaker of the House Scott Bedke and Senate President Brent Hill—both members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—refused again this year to do anything but contemplate exemptions to quell the supposed fears of the Mormon faithful about having to bake cakes and serve coffee to people like me because their religion is angry that the federal courts said I can marry a woman now. The hate or self loathing that killed Steven Nelson or the bullied teen in eastern Idaho is one the LDS church is feeding every year that it delays in supporting a bill to actually include gay and transgender people in Idaho’s existing non-discrimination laws. I hope President Barack Obama builds a memorial to the gay rights movement. I hope the monument is a celebration of the passage of federal law to include gay people in the nation’s civil rights laws, ending ongoing discrimination in employment, public accommodation, housing and education. If it’s not, I hope the memorial will include the names of our dead. They are many, like the victims of any group that suffers hate crimes. I don’t know how you would fit them on a wall or plaque or a building, especially if you included the children, all the teens waiting out here in rural Idaho and Alabama to know someone notices their beauty, their worth under the laws of a land far too busy spinning politics into hate rather than hope.

Safety tops agenda of the Idaho Walk Bike Summit

WHERE THE RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD

CITYDESK
A decision on buffered bike lanes in Boise has been put on “indefinite hold.”
GEORGE PRENTICE People will have plenty to talk about during the first-of-its kind Idaho Walk Bike Summit, slated for Thursday, May 12-Friday, May 13: • In the eastern Idaho community of Aberdeen, children can’t participate in Walk to School Day because it’s too unsafe to cross State Highway 39, which essentially cuts the town in half. • A four-lane highway runs through the rural Latah County community of Troy, population 862 (the four lanes are designed to accommodate up to 22,000 vehicles). • In Boise, a section of a bike lane on Americana Boulevard isn’t much wider than a coffee cup (see image above). “Seriously, I’m not joking. My coffee cup,” said Chris Danley, principal of Boise-based Vitruvian Planning, city and transportation planning consultant. “There’s an unwillingness to adjust the vehicle lane to accommodate a bike lane. But of course, the absolute opposite is true.” The biggest topic of conversation will undoubtedly be safety—or the lack thereof on Idaho roads. At the exact time that Boise Weekly was interviewing Danley for this story, an 8-year-old boy riding his bicycle in a Post Falls neighborhood had been struck and killed by a vehicle. Several days later, two more crashes, both in Boise sent two cyclists to the hospital. Two days later, still another Boise cyclist, traveling in a bike lane, was struck from behind by a truck. Boise police said the driver of the truck sped from the scene. All of these recent incidents came in the wake of a particularly dangerous April, in which vehicle collisions in Boise and Garden City resulted in two pedestrian deaths and three pedestrian and cyclist crashes—one a 5-year-old who was riding his bike in his Boise neighborhood. Danley gets visibly upset when he talks of the greater frequency of such tragedies. “Think of this: In Idaho, we have a $90 fine for a motorist who has failed to yield,” he said. “You can hit somebody with your car and it’s a $90 fine. You can get fined more for not picking up after your dog than hitting a human being with a car.” Cynthia Gibson, executive director of the BOISE WEEKLY.COM
BUFFERED BIKE LANES ON MAIN AND IDAHO DETOURED Idaho Walk Bike Alliance, has been working on putting together a summit for more than a year. The event couldn’t have been timelier. “It’s long overdue,” said Gibson. “Everywhere we go, we’re hearing from communities who want safer streets for kids to walk to school, greater access and better facilities. Idaho is a big state with a lot of space between communities. We decided it was time to pull everybody together.” The list of summit attendees includes elected officials from every corner of the state in addition to officials from the Idaho Transportation Department and the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare. The two-day agenda features nearly two dozen sessions. And when scheduling a rally for Thursday, May 12 on the steps of the Idaho Statehouse, Gibson said there was only one choice for a call-to-action speaker: “One Arm” Willie. “Yes, that’s what people call me,” said Willie Stewart, who lost his left arm at the age of 18 in a Washington, D.C. industrial accident, and went on to become a Paralympic Games 2002 silver medalist. He has since served as an advocate for men, women and children with disabilities. “When you’re a one-arm guy with little education, there’s not a lot to do,” said Stewart. “I applied to be a bike messenger and the owner said, ‘Sure, go kill yourself.’ Six years later, I was the highest paid messenger in D.C.” Though he’s still an accomplished athlete, Stewart is best known these days as a motivational speaker and activist. “I’m a big advocate for people who usually don’t have a voice,” he said. “Honestly, sometimes I think a little frying pan on the side of the head can help,” he added, grinning. “I’ve had the opportunity to tie different groups together into a bigger community. If we add the voices of the disabled to the community of pedestrians and bicyclists, that’s a force to be reckoned with.” Stewart is fearless on his own but, as the father of a 6- and 8-year-old, he’s more cautious when cycling through some of Boise’s streets. “Front and Myrtle streets? Come on. That’s
eight lanes busting through downtown. It’s dangerous, really dangerous to get across those streets,” he said. Danley couldn’t agree more. “Our streets in Idaho are disproportionate,” Danley said. “Front and Myrtle are just two examples. There are roads all over Idaho that are disproportionate: four or even five lanes in a single direction. They’re highways. We’ve got to consider a ‘road diet:’ taking a three- or four-lane road down to two or three lanes. But sometimes, when you tell someone you’re thinking about taking a lane away, [motorists] feel threatened.” Gibson said it’s usually easier to find support for something like a “road diet” among younger or older people. Middle aged? Not so much. “Thirty percent of the population doesn’t drive a car. That’s quite a lot of people right there,” Gibson said. “Teenagers aren’t overly anxious to get a driver’s license anymore. Young adults want to live in urban settings and walk or bike to work and possibly share a car when they need one but then, there’s the aging population who don’t want to be shipped off to an assisted living facility on the outside of town.” Danley isn’t completely critical of the status quo of how Idaho plans its transportation infrastructure. “Yes, there are some good things,” he said, citing the new dog bone-shaped roundabout that replaced traffic signals on 36th Street, Hill Road and Catalpa Drive, near Hillside Junior High School. “That never would have been done 10 years ago. We didn’t have any roundabouts in Ada County for years, but now we’re finally coming around and, believe it or not, it’s fiscally conservative, too. It saves thousands of dollars in electricity without a traffic signal. Most importantly, it provides a lot more access.” In the meantime, there are a number of things that Danley said could, and should, change overnight. That Americana bike lane, for example. “Seriously?” he asked again. “You have to see it to believe it.”
In one of its strongest lobbying efforts in recent memory, the city of Boise pushed hard to bring buffered bike lanes to Main and Idaho Streets. Still, after plenty of public input on the issue, the Ada County Highway District has left the issue undecided. “Indefinite hold is the term we would use,” said ACHD spokesman Craig Quintana, adding ACHD commissioners cited “the general turmoil” of ongoing downtown construction projects, including Main Street Station, Simplot headquarters and the pending $400 million expansion of St. Luke’s Hospital. “We’re not being shy about which options the city endorsed: parking-protected bike lanes,” said Daren Fluke, comprehensive planning manager for the city of Boise in March. “That’s why we’re pounding the pavement and talking to anybody and everybody we can. A lot is at stake here.” However, ACHD commissioners “need to let some of those construction projects come to fruition before adding anything new to the mix,” said Quintana. Something new is already being added, though. The already approved conversion of Jefferson Street from one- to two-way from First to 16th streets, along with the addition of a bike lane and the elimination of several parking spaces is still on schedule. “We’re putting the project out to bid in the next week or two, and things will get under way this summer,” said Quintana. Mike Journee, spokesman for Mayor Dave Bieter, said the mayor and other city officials still think “Main and Idaho are the best options for bike lanes to improve a strong bike network in the city.” “With every accident, with every altercation between a bicyclist and a motor vehicle, it highlights that absolute need for people to ride safely and easily through downtown,” said Journee. “And we owe that to motorists, too.” —George Prentice BOISEweekly | MAY 11–17, 2016 | 7

Yuko Nakaya’s work hangs in Brussels, Belgium; and Nagoya and Tokyo, Japan. Add to that list Boise, where a selection of her paintings and installations will be featured in a solo exhibition at Stewart Gallery through May 21. According to her artist’s statement, Nakaya aims to explore the subconscious connections with universal themes—among them, birth. “We all have had the subconscious experience of living in our mother’s womb … [I]f we are reminded of that specific moment in our lives, just how warm will our hearts become?” she writes, describing her in utero associations as a “warm white light.” Nakaya’s work is luminous, amorphous and succeeds in exuding exactly the experience she’s aiming for.

Whether you spell it “piroshki,” “pirozhki,” “pyrizhky” or “perieschkje,” you may be mispronouncing the name of these stuffingstuffed, fried Russian buns correctly. That’s fine because unlike the Russian language, Russian food is for everyone—from kebabs and stuffed peppers to borscht and chebureki. It’s all delicious, and all to be had at the 11th annual Russian Food Festival on Friday and Saturday, May 13-14 at St. Seraphim of Sarov Orthodox Church in West Boise. Swing by for one of Boise’s most eagerly anticipated food events and enjoy icon painting, guided tours of the church and, of course, great food. Spasibo! 11 a.m.-9 p.m. FREE. St. Seraphim of Sarov Orthodox Church, 872 N. 29th St., Boise, 208-345-1553, stseraphimboise.org.
In the workshop of Ron Swanson—man’s man and reluctant small town bureaucrat of TV series Parks and Recreation—it is possible for wood projects to turn out too perfect and must be smashed, lest they appear machine made. That is a worthy, if absurd, level of quality to which one may aspire, but most of us would have trouble slapping together a birdhouse, much less a keepsake box of quarter sawn zebrawood, joined by floating tenants to black walnut corner posts and finished with a wiping varnish taken from a secret family recipe. At the 2016 Idaho Woodcarvers Guild Jamboree, Saturday-Sunday, May 14-15 at Expo Idaho, woodsmiths of all abilities can learn woodburning, bark and caricature carving, and flute making. You won’t be Swanson overnight, but it’s a start. 7:30 a.m.-6 p.m. both days, $40 registration, class costs vary. Expo Idaho, 5610 Glenwood St., Garden City, 208-287-5650. Idahowoodcarversguild.org.

THE BODY, MAY 13, THE OLYMPIC Portland, Ore.-based sludge metal duo The Body’s operatic interludes, boot stomping martial cadences and wailing choruses evoke smoking wastelands, ruined churches and desolate cities. The sounds constructed by Chip King and Lee Buford would neatly accompany a visceral reenactment of the Black Plague or provide a fitting soundtrack to a live action Hieronymus Bosch painting. The Body’s No One Deserves Happiness (Thrill Jockey, March 2016), melds the screams and punishing guitar work typical of the genre with pop elements and a melodic chorale sensibility that results in a satisfying sense of anarchy disciplined to serve a deeper, more urgent sense of despair. Meanwhile, vocals from Assembly of Light conductor Chrissy Wolpert play with monophonic and simple polyphonic textures that lend a few cuts the air of a medieval chant. While no one deserves happiness, everybody deserves to experience the fear and loathing of The Body. —Zach Hagadone With Deep Creeps, Ix and Batholith; 8 p.m. doors, 8:30 p.m. show; $10.

FIRST CHAIR, MAY 14, THE OLYMPIC The Olympic venue shows just how grown up it is with a diverse weekend lineup starting Friday, May 13, with sludge-metal duo The Body (see Page 16) followed by local drum-and-piano pop duo First Chair celebrating the release of its debut EP, Weights of the World (self-released, May 2016) on Saturday, May 14. Their band isn’t much older than the almost-1-year-old Olympic, but First Chair’s Lanae Alvis (keys, vocals) and Rase Littlefield (drums) have found their groove, which is layered indie-pop. Alvis’ voice is as much a First Chair instrument as the duo’s keys and piano, and she effortlessly shifts from low, breathy tones to diaphragm swelling high notes like a dragster drifting around a corner. First Chair embraces unconventional lyrical content— ”Sunshine” is a reflection on Alvis’ visit to a concentration camp— and emotional intensity. Though the tracks on Weights come in a little heavy (the longest is 6 1/2 minutes), Alvis and Littlefield give each second an authenticity that comes from being passionate about what they do. Maybe that’s why they’re first. —Amy Atkins With Alina Bea and Illusion Revealer, 8 p.m. doors, $5. The Olympic, 1009 Main St., 208-342-0176, theolympicvenue.com. BOISEweekly | MAY 11–17, 2016 | 17

IDAHOANS REPRESENT AT WATERCOLOR EXHIBITION; KRISHNA CENTER OPENS Boise’s Hare Krishna Temple will celebrate its 30th anniversary with a metamorphosis. Members of the public, temple administrators, and officials from the state of Idaho and city of Boise will gather at the center of Vedic life in the Gem State on Saturday, May 14 to watch Lt. Gov. Brad Little cut the ribbon on the newly dubbed Krishna Cultural Center. What opened as a modest temple in 1986 will reopen as a 10,000-square-foot hub for religious activities, education and community events. “It essentially doubles the size of the complex,” said Center President Arun Gupta. The site will now include a library of Vedic literature, a commercial kitchen, two performance stages and a 3,000-square-foot park. Along with the ribbon-cutting, from 5-8 p.m., there will be Indian music and dancing, kids activities and a vegetarian meal of curries, basmati rice dishes, tomato chutney and dessert. On display will be an exhibit of landscape and nature photos by Boise-based photographer Vishwanath Bhat. Like much of what will be on display during the grand opening, the art has strong spiritual and environmental themes. “This has a message of universality of how God is in nature,” Gupta said. The works of some other Boise artists will be hanging in honor as well, but on walls in Denver, Colo. Beginning Thursday, June 9, eight members of the Idaho Watercolor Society will have their work on display at the 41st annual Western Federation of Watercolor Societies exhibition, which runs through Sunday, Aug. 28. Typically, said IWS President Dennis Hayzlett, the number of Idaho artists asked to participate range from three to five. “[Eight] is significant for us,” he said. Hayzlett’s painting, “Stockholm in May,” will join works by Karen Boss, Andrea Harris, Lauren Johnson, Laurel Lake McGuire, Lori Seale, Anne Watson Sorensen and Nyla Tillery. Theirs were among a total of 134 works chosen from approximately 1,100 entries. Four Idahoans will travel for the awards ceremony—”a good showing,” Hayzlett said. An exhibition of the society’s work will be held at the Boise State University Student Union Building beginning Wednesday, June 1. —Harrison Berry 18 | MAY 11–17, 2016 | BOISEweekly
The Boise Philharmonic begins search for a new music director HARRISON BERRY In January, Robert Franz announced the 201516 season would be his last as music director of the Boise Philharmonic. For the eight years he headed up the orchestra, Franz did more than direct. He beefed up the group’s repertoire, forged partnerships with local schools and other nonprofit arts organizations, and became the approachable face of the Phil. He said balancing the organization’s mission with being a leader in Boise’s fine arts scene will be an important part of the job for whomever the Phil chooses to replace him. “This city has a lot of the arts, but it has to be careful to make sure they thrive,” Franz said. “What do you need to do to maintain the integrity of the arts?” The Phil’s now-former music director left in style the weekend of April 17, conducting Brahms’ Violin Concerto in D Major with Grammy Award-winning violinist Jennifer Frautschi and her 1722 Stradivarius violin, “ex-Cadiz.” For Franz, it marked a chance to refocus his attention on other engagements: a 10-week contract working with a handful of orchestras, including the Phoenix symphony and the Corpus Christi symphony in Texas; permanent gigs with the Houston symphony; the Windsor, Ontario, symphony; and the Fairbanks Summer Arts Festival orchestra. For the Boise Philharmonic, it signaled the start of a race to find someone to fill Franz’s shoes. “I don’t want this to drag out for two years. We needed to not miss a step,” said Boise Philharmonic Board Chair Julie Kilgrow. A search committee began accepting applications in January—receiving more than 200 from all over the world—and interviewing candidates who each brought something special to the table, Kilgrow said. Some of them have backgrounds in education while others are technologically savvy. The search committee members were struck by the diversity and skill sets of the people applying be the new face of the organization. “Anything’s open during this process,” said Boise Philharmonic Executive Director Sandra Culhane.
After eight years at the helm of the Boise Philharmonic, former music director Robert Franz said whoever follows in his footsteps needs to balance being a leader of the Phil with fostering the wider arts community.
From the imposing number of qualified candidates, the committee whittled down its choices to a shortlist of seven: Aram Demirjian (Kansas City, Mo.); Andres Franco (Tulsa, Okla.); Eric Garcia (Oklahoma City); Keitaro Harada (Cincinnati); Michelle Merrill (Detroit); Brett Mitchell (Cleveland); and Alastair Willis (Springfield, Ill.). Each candidate will guest conduct a concert during the 2016-17 season and there will be two parts to the selection process. Concert attendees will have a chance to tell Boise Phil what they think about each conductor and season ticket subscribers will be polled on their experience. “Anybody who comes to this is going to be part of the process,” Kilgrow said. It’s designed to be audience-inclusive but, behind the scenes, the organization is looking for someone it thinks can be a leader not only of the orchestra but also Boise’s wider fine arts community, possessing qualities such as skill at working with other organizations like Opera Idaho and Idaho Shakespeare Festival, and a willingness to take music education and professional musicians into schools. Boise Philharmonic has one of the broadest arts footprints in Idaho; its new music director, Franz said, must build on that. “The next director has to be constantly reaching out to the community,” he said. Under Franz’s direction, Boise Philharmonic musicians flooded the fine arts scene. In 2015, they made appearances in every second-grade classroom in the Treasure Valley and played at the Sapphire Room at the Riverside Hotel,
at screenings of silent movies and at dance performances. And that’s only a fraction of the orchestra’s presence in the community. “If you take us away, you would have no music,” said Kilgrow, but both she and Culhane said they wouldn’t know the right applicant until they see him or her interact with the public and perform with the orchestra during the Phil’s concerts at the Morrison Center in Boise and the Brandt Center in Nampa. “Our concerts are our base,” Kilgrow said. “You can’t ever forget your base.” Since beginning the search for a new music director, the Phil has continued—and expanded—its community outreach. On May 9, the string quartet performed live at RadioBoise in preparation for a pub crawl it will host Thursday, May 12. The orchestra is also looking forward to a collaboration with Treefort Music Fest that could materialize as early as spring 2017—which is about the same time Boise Philharmonic leadership will decide who will be offered the job of music director. While Boise Phil musicians branch out into the community, Franz said if he could change one thing about the Phil, it would be to integrate its musicians into its administration, saying they’re already the organization’s eyes and ears in the community. Giving musicians “more voice and power” has yielded positive results at other orchestras, Franz said, adding that he trusts his colleagues “tremendously” to be good stewards for the fine arts and their organization. “Blurring those lines can be scary,” he said. “But not to me.” BOISE WEEKLY.COM
SCREEN TO INFINITY AND BEYOND The Man Who Knew Infinity and Born to Be Blue GEORGE PRENTICE They’re called “proofs”: self-evident demonstrations of existence. With origins dating back to the ancient Greeks, proofs have been mankind’s empirical evidence of precision and order; and to a large degree, irrefutable proofs shield humans from such ethereal matters as devotion or faith— at least when it comes to scientific evidence. At the turn of the 20th century, a poorly educated Hindu man, living in near-poverty Geniuses at work: Jeremy Irons and Dev Patel (left) in The Man Who Knew Infinity and Ethan Hawke (right) as Chet in an Indian slum, insisted his mathematical Baker in Born to be Blue. theories were based on divinity, not proof, and yet were absolute certainties.

BEERGUZZLER GETTING THE GLUTEN OUT
ESTRELLA DAMM DAURA, $2.50-$3 This has a bright straw pour with a thin head, and the aromas are subtle and dominated by lightly bitter grain. First impression: It reminds me of the Bitburger Drive I drank when I was on alcohol prohibitive medication. Soft grain, sweet citrus, apple, smooth malt with just a kiss of hops. The Daura is a drinkable Euro lager. GROUND BREAKER IPA NO. 5, $3-$3.50 This amber brew sports the thinnest of heads. On the nose, there’s a big hit of pine laden hops; on the palate, there’s a big hit of pine laden hops. There are some citrus and tropical notes as well, but this is a hop-driven brew that should appeal to those who love Northwest IPAs. STONE DELICIOUS IPA, $5-$6 Poured from a 22-ounce bomber, it’s a hazy straw in the glass topped by a two-finger head that leaves a nice lacing. This IPA opens with orange, lemon and lime aromas, along with some resiny hops, which are evident on the palate as well, with an almost smoky quality, while the malt kicks in midpalate. It’s a beautifully balanced brew with a smooth, dry finish. —David Kirkpatrick 20 | MAY 11–17, 2016 | BOISEweekly

Beer contains barley, and if you’re one of the millions of people who can’t tolerate gluten, regular beer is out. To fill the void, some brews are crafted with a barley substitute—the Ground Breaker is brewed with roasted chestnuts and lentils. The Estrella and Stone beers contain barley but also have an enzyme that reduces the gluten to fewer than 10 parts per million, well below the 20 ppm required by the FDA for gluten-free products. Here are three worth trying:
A TASTE OF KOREA ON VISTA At Mr. Wok, a quiet fire smolders ALE X KIESIG At Mr. Wok, the spicy octopus is stir-fried in sesame oil and coated in a lavish red sauce of fathomless depth. Like many of the entrees, its redness comes from fermented chili paste called gochujang, or dried flakes. But the color of this sauce, dark as wine, tells you in advance about its heat: It is not the kind of spice that throws up a stop sign, but one that draws you down its staircase before shoving you into the furnace. Once out of the fire, we picked through the pile of tentacles for something cooling, like a bit of cabbage or carrot, then rushed for a bite from a tin of steamed sticky rice and the array of banchan, a field of little white dishes whose pork or beef and white onions, served sizzling delicate contents create endless contrasting on a fajita platter with a side of rice.

Ultimately, I was more intrigued by the banchan than the entrees. On one visit, it was smashed cucumber in garlic and chilies, fried strings of anchovy, sweet potato, onions in sweet syrup, cabbage kimchi, bean sprouts, daikon radish. The next time, there were diamonds of Korean scallion pancake, broccoli tossed in sesame oil, a tangle of fermented lemongrass, and a pickled salad of vegetables that contained—no lie—a single slice of raw hot dog. Service was mixed. The first time, during dinner, we asked for utensils and extra plates, but had to go to the counter to remind our server, who then seemed annoyed. We did not see her again, and used dishes piled up around us. A busser needed prompting to fill empty water glasses. On a later visit for lunch (the menu is the same, with big portions at all meals), the server was attentive and friendly, even thoughtfully bringing a slice of sweet, crisp white melon “for dessert.” Quiet, too, was the owner, when I told her I’d be writing this story. Sitting at a table, a bowl of noodles draped in beautiful black sauce in front of her, she smiled and said thank you and that was all. BOISE WEEKLY.COM
CITIZEN MARGARET HAVEY On the road again GEORGE PRENTICE
When Margaret Havey says, “Once a Girl Scout, always a Girl Scout,” she’s not talking about cookies. She’s what she describes as “a compulsive volunteer.” “Not to shake things up, mind you,” said Havey. “I’m much more interested in shaping public policy to make the world a little bit better.” Havey sees much of the world from the seat of one of her bicycles—she has a lot of them. As vice president of the Treasure Valley Cycling Alliance, she’ll be a busy woman during Boise Bike Week, which begins on Saturday, May 14, so we were lucky to get her to sit still for a few minutes and talk about cycling, safety and being a bit fearless. Another string of accidents involving bicycles and vehicles is again casting a shadow on Boise. If you were queen for a day and could prevent more of these from happening, what would you change? For one thing, there’s more conversation about calling these things “crashes” instead of “accidents.” But at the top of my list would be the creation of a vulnerable road-users law. There are rarely criminal consequences in these incidents. If anything, there’s usually a traffic citation. Have you been hit while riding? I was right-hooked by a car at the intersection of at 10th and Bannock streets. Keep in mind that it occurred after the city of Boise passed an ordinance making it illegal to turn in front of a cyclist. And that ordinance only came after three Boise cyclists were killed in 2009. Unfortunately, too many pedestrians and cyclists have been hit and killed since then. Thirteen-year-old Olivia Schnacker comes to mind. [She was struck by a vehicle while riding her bike on Ustick Road on Easter Sunday, 2014]. You thought of her rather quickly. That happened along my daily commute. I put up the ghost bike for her. Speaking of which, you organize the Ride of Silence during Bike Week. We’ve done that for 11 years in Boise. It’s part of an international commemoration. Have you mapped out this year’s route? BOISE WEEKLY.COM
This year, we’ll ride by where Max Wyatt was hit by a minivan last September on Kootenai Street. [The 5-year-old survived but spent months in the hospital and is still recuperating]. At the end of this year’s Ride of Silence, we’re doing something new: We’ll be conducting a safety forum at the Boise State Student Union. You’re a certified cycling instructor. How can you help us ride a bit more safely? A lot of people may have had a close call that made them uncomfortable around traffic, but there are things you can do. Such as... Take Bannock Street for example. A lot of cyclists hug the parked cars because they’re worried about the traffic, but doors opening from those parked cars are extremely dangerous. What’s the alternative? When cyclists ride in the gutters, for example, that’s actually an invitation for motorists to get even closer. I tell cyclists that they’re probably too deferential to vehicles. If you move out a little more, drivers are apt to give you some more room. Say to yourself, “This is my space.” That’s a fair amount of psychology. Traffic is psychology. What kind of bike do you ride? I have to… Let me think. Wait a minute. You need to think about what kind of bike you ride? I have eight or nine. My husband has eight or nine more. His daughter has two. Plus, we have a tandem bike. What’s a long distance ride for you? I’ve ridden from Portland to Portland. Wait. Oregon to Maine? Solo? In 2010. Would you tell your daughter to do that? Absolutely. A good part of it is street smarts. Quite literally. You’re fearless. A bit. It’s part of my identity. BOISEweekly | MAY 11–17, 2016 | 21

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Dear Smart Operator: My name is Captain Jonathan Orances. I presently serve in the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan. I am asking for your help with the safekeeping of a trunk containing funds in the amount of $7.9 million, which I secured during our team’s raid of a poppy farmer in Kandahar Province. The plan is to ship this box to Luxembourg, and from there a diplomat will deliver it to your designated location. When I return home on leave, I will take possession of the trunk. You will be rewarded handsomely for your assistance. If you can be trusted, send me your details. Best regards, Captain Jonathan Orances.” You may receive a tempting but risky offer like this in the near future, Leo. I suggest you turn it down. If you do, I bet a somewhat less interesting but far less risky offer will come your way.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Russian writer Anton Chekhov was renowned for the crisp, succinct style of his short stories and plays. As he evolved, his pithiness grew. “I now have a mania for shortness,” he wrote. “Whatever I read—my own work, or other people’s—it all seems to me not short enough.” I propose that we make Chekhov your patron saint for a while. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you are in a phase when your personal power feeds on terse efficiency. You thrive on being vigorously concise and deftly focused and cheerfully devoted to the crux of every matter. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Creativity is intelligence having fun.” Approximately 30,000 sites on the Internet attribute that quote to iconic genius Albert Einstein. But my research strongly suggests that he did not actually say that. Who did? It doesn’t matter. For the purposes of this horoscope, there are just two essential points to concentrate on. First, for the foreseeable future, your supreme law of life should be “creativity is intelligence having fun.” Second, it’s not enough to cavort and play and improvise, and it’s not enough to be discerning and shrewd and observant. Be all those things. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In Western culture, the peacock is a symbol of vanity. When we see
the bird display its stunning array of iridescent feathers, we might think it’s lovely, but may also mutter, “What a show-off.” But other traditions have treated the peacock as a more purely positive emblem: an embodiment of hard-won and triumphant radiance. In Tibetan Buddhist myths, for example, its glorious plumage is said to be derived from its transmutation of the poisons it absorbs when it devours dangerous serpents. This version of the peacock is your power animal for now, Gemini. Take full advantage of your ability to convert noxious situations and fractious emotions into beautiful assets. CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Clear moments are so short,” opines poet Adam Zagajewski. “There is much more darkness. More ocean than terra firma. More shadow than form.” Here’s what I have to say about that: Even if it does indeed describe the course of ordinary life for most people, it does not currently apply to you. On the contrary. You’re in a phase that will bring an unusually high percentage of lucidity. The light shining from your eyes and the thoughts coalescing in your brain will be extra pure and bright. In the world around you, there may be occasional patches of chaos and confusion, but your luminosity will guide you through them.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Some things need to be fixed, others to be left broken,” writes poet James Richardson. The coming weeks will be an ideal time for you to make final decisions about which are which in your own life. Are there relationships and dreams and structures that are either too damaged to salvage or undeserving of your hard labor? Consider the possibility that you will abandon them for good. Are there relationships and dreams and structures that are
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Once every year, it is healthy and wise to make an ultimate confession—to express everything you regret and bemoan in one cathartic swoop, and then be free of its subliminal nagging for another year. The coming days will be a perfect time to do this. For inspiration, read an excerpt from Jeanann Vernee’s “Genetics of Regret”: “I’m sorry I lied. Sorry I drew the picture of the dead cat. I’m sorry about the stolen tampons and the nest of mice in the stove. I’m sorry about the slashed window screens. I’m sorry it took 36 years to say this. Sorry that all I can do is worry what happens next. Sorry for the weevils and the dead grass. Sorry I vomited in the wash drain. Sorry I left. Sorry I came back. I’m sorry it comes like this. Flood and undertow.” SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): According to the British podcast series “No Such Thing as a Fish,” there were only a few satisfying connubial relationships in late-18th century England. One publication at that time declared that of the country’s 872,564 married couples, just nine were truly happy. I wonder if the percentage is higher for modern twosomes. Whether it is or not, I have good news: My reading of the astrological omens suggests that
you Scorpios will have an unusually good chance of cultivating vibrant intimacy in the coming weeks. Take advantage of this grace period, please! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Some days I feel like playing it smooth,” says a character in Raymond Chandler’s short story “Trouble Is My Business,” “and some days I feel like playing it like a waffle iron.” I suspect that you Sagittarians will be in the latter phase until at least May 24. It won’t be prime time for silky strategies and glossy gambits and velvety victories. You’ll be better able to take advantage of fate’s fabulous farces if you’re geared up for edgy lessons and checkered challenges and intricate motifs. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Author Rebecca Solnit says that when she pictures herself as she was at age 15, “I see flames shooting up, see myself falling off the edge of the world, and am amazed I survived not the outside world but the inside one.” Let that serve as an inspiration, Capricorn. Now is an excellent time for you to celebrate the heroic, messy, improbable victories of your past. You are ready and ripe to honor the crazy intelligence and dumb luck that guided you as you fought to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. You have a right and a duty to congratulate yourself for the suffering you
have escaped and inner demons you have vanquished. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “To regain patience, learn to love the sour, the bitter, the salty, the clear.” The poet James Richardson wrote that wry advice, and now I’m passing it on to you. Why now? Because if you enhance your appreciation for the sour, the bitter, the salty, and the clear, you will not only regain patience, but also generate unexpected opportunities. You will tonify your mood, beautify your attitude, and deepen your gravitas. So I hope you will invite and welcome the lumpy and the dappled, my dear. I hope you’ll seek out the tangy, the smoldering, the soggy, the spunky, the chirpy, the gritty, and an array of other experiences you may have previously kept at a distance. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “A thousand half-loves must be forsaken to take one whole heart home.” That’s from a Coleman Barks translation of a poem by the 13th century Islamic scholar and mystic known as Rumi. I regard this epigram as a key theme for you during the next 12 months. You will be invited to shed a host of wishy-washy wishes so as to become strong and smart enough to go in quest of a very few burning, churning yearnings. Are you ready to sacrifice the mediocre in service to the sublime?

DEAR MINERVA, What roles do allies play in the LGBTQIA community? Sincerely, Curious
DEAR CURIOUS, Darling one, no one ever achieves success alone. Allies serve a valuable function beyond mere support in the storm. There is a whole part of society that has been taught to hate those who are different from them. No matter how loudly, passionately or tearfully a member of the LGBTQIA community pronounces their truth and the pain of oppression, some people will never be open to hearing it. Allies can help bridge that gap. There are always far more followers than there are leaders in this world and if a person sees someone like themselves, openly supporting and embracing the very people they’ve been taught to hate, then a little seed of understanding is planted. They see those actions repeated, and they start thinking about it. They start realizing that if other people “like them” don’t have a problem with the people that they were taught to hate, then why should they have a problem? Then that might lead to a desire to learn and meet people who are different. Suddenly their world view expands. Their heart grows three sizes that day! They get over their indoctrinated hate by slowly chipping away at it with life experiences. Allies are an important part of the equality puzzle—whether it be sex, race, religion, sexual orientation, etc. Change happens slowly but beautifully.

According to a January 2016 CNN report, “everyone from researchers at Johns Hopkins University to the editors of Yoga Journal [have suggested] coloring as an alternative to meditation.” Meanwhile, in recent years, coloring books for adults have been huge sellers. Combine that with the trend of taking (and posting) pictures of our food, kids, pets and selves, and it should come as no surprise you can buy a customized coloring book containing pages made from your Instagram/Facebook/Pinterest/ whatever photos. What makes the Color Me Book special is creators Cory Will and Amy Faussett don’t use a photo editing program or apply some digital filter to make colorable pages—each photo is $25-$125, mycolormebook.com hand-traced. Color Me Books come in books of five, 10, 15, 20 and 25 pages and, while they aren’t cheap—$25, $50, $75, $100 and $125, respectively—getting one is easy as uploading a few photos and waiting a few weeks. Plus, by giving someone a box of markers and a book filled with pictures of their vacation, pets, kids, brunches or selves they can color, what you’re really giving them is the gift of serenity. Try getting that at IKEA. —Amy Atkins
