EDITOR’S NOTE SUMMER IN THE CITY We’re a couple of weeks early—and the weather isn’t really cooperating—but summer is on our minds at BWHQ. In this week’s edition of Boise Weekly you’ll find a bevy of summer-themed content. On Page 7, BW News Editor George Prentice takes a look at what’s been happening at the Boise Airport, with new direct flights opening soon and how the facility plans to handle what’s expected to be a record-breaking travel season. All of that despite headline-grabbing shake-ups at the Transportation Security Administration and historic long lines at airport security stations across the country. On Page 16, you’ll find a list of select summer music festivals, followed by a rundown of area food and art festivals on Page 27. BW freelancer Randy King schools us on the ins and outs of bike camping on Page 33, and Prentice—putting on his film guru hat—ranks the upcoming slate of summer films on Page 34. The biggest chunk of the paper devoted to easy living can be found on Page 19, where we’re publishing a map of local bars, restaurants and coffee shops that feature patios. It’s the kickoff to our second annual Passport to Patios promotion, in which readers will have special passports stamped for visiting spots with al fresco options. The passports will be printed in the June 1, June 8 and June 15 editions of BW. Bring filled passports to BWHQ (523 Broad St. in downtown Boise) and be entered to win prizes worth more than $2,000. Plan your route using the map in this week’s paper, and plan to pull your passport from any of the following three editions. Speaking of upcoming editions, we’re down to the wire with the 2016 BW Black-and-White Photo Contest. Submissions will be accepted until Wednesday, June 1 at bwphotocontest.boiseweekly.com, with the winner—selected by a panel of judges— published on the cover of the June 15 edition of BW. You don’t have to wait until then to see the entries, though. This year we’re opening voting to the public for a People’s Choice Award. You can view the submissions and vote for your favorite from Thursday, June 2 through Sunday, June 12. —Zach Hagadone

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

OPINION CURTAIN

Part One: The beginning of the end BILL COPE For more than two decades, whenever I’d run across an enticing news item, interesting trivia trinket, significant cultural tremor or notable observation from a notable observer— anything I believed could convert into column fodder—I saved it wherever it would fit on my writing desk, which is really a three-tiered wooden cart on wheels. When I write, I roll it to my nest on the couch, put the keyboard on my lap and the mousepad on my right. I’ve gone through four couches in that time. I plop so long in the same place to turn out these contributions, any couch I own inevitably develops a permanent sag under my butt and cigarette burns on the armrest on which I rest my left elbow. The saved items—an amalgam of newspapers, glossy magazines and sometimes a book with the pertinent page marked—had a tendency to stack up. Every couple of months, I had to go through the stack and reexamine the materials to remind myself of why I saved them in the first place. More often than not, the moment in which they’d stricken my fancy had passed, and into the bin with the red lid they went. Somewhere, I’d guess, between a quarter and 40-percent were second-phase keepers: that being, stuff I expected to come around again in a cycle of rotating relevancy. Those went into another pile in another spot in the house to await their opinion-worthy resurrection. It was especially bad back when one of my functions as a Boise Weekly freelancer was to write the annual “Spuds & Duds” feature, a recap of an entire year’s worth of who’d done what in Idaho world. I’d start storing that pile in cardboard boxes first thing in January, knowing that if I didn’t keep all of the evidence until December, I’d forget most of it ever happened. As you can imagine, there were times when the sector of our home which was designated “Bill space” looked like it was well on its way to becoming one of those situations you hear about from time to time where the resident has been crushed to death under the collapse of his own refusal to throw anything away. I would tell visitors, “No, God dammit! I am not a hoarder. I am a columnist!” The good news is that I won’t be hanging on to newspapers and magazines anymore, not for any longer than it takes to read them and forget them. The bad news is that, as of this and one more week, I will no longer be a columnist. Due to circumstance beyond the control of either myself or that of the Boise Weekly, I am done. ••• For those who enjoy distraction (and occasionally solace) in numbers as much as I do, BOISE WEEKLY.COM

from the day my first effort appeared in BW to this time next week will be 21 years, four months and 13 days—which translates to 1,125 columns, features and sundry other items, plus 257 blog pieces that appeared only on the BW website. At an average of 1,000 words an article—a number I don’t at all believe is exaggerated, considering the heftiness of my early columns and the feature pieces—I have had in the proximity of 1,382,000 words appear under the Boise Weekly banner. I calculate that if those words were all printed between the covers of one novel, that book would be about the size of War and Peace and Les Misérables combined, with On The Road thrown in for good measure. That’s 1,382 separate articles of writing, in all, and I have been proud of (nearly) each one of them. If some were of a lesser merit than others, I can still say I’ve never meant to mislead my readers in any way, that each and every piece was composed with the intent to pass my opinion on to you as honestly and completely as what talents I possess could manage. I have exposed my personal and emotional life to a degree that would alarm any insistent seeker of privacy or decorum. My daughter grew up on these pages. My parents died on these pages. And I have displayed on these pages a disposition for verbal cruelty and abuse that has often shocked even me. When I started, I didn’t set out to become such a long-termer. I submitted those first columns only because I saw the country slipping into a pattern of division and vitriol, and felt the need to respond, to defend the liberal values being so viciously attacked. I intended to keep it light, funny (hopefully) and utterly unlike any written punditry I had seen up to that point. Since then, the pattern of division and vitriol has evolved into a frenzy... a hysteria... a shitstorm of division and vitriol. Perhaps I was pulled too far into that ugly Maelstrom. I can only say that ensuing events—e.g., the Oklahoma City bombing, the theft of a presidential election, the sight of the Twin Towers collapsing into smoke and fire, the rush into immoral and self-destructive wars, the shameful way our first black president has been treated—have made it increasingly hard to keep myself light and funny. And I’ve become evermore convinced that, as verbally cruel and abusive as it may seem, it is vital to this country and to this world that we call “stupid” out for what it is. Next week—my last week—I will thank those from whom I’ve been given the honor and privilege to have had this opportunity, and make my final goodbyes. Trust me when I say it will be a damn difficult thing to put on paper. BOISEweekly | MAY 25–31, 2016 | 5

Texas, one of the nation’s largest travel hubs. “It’s a very big deal,” said Hupp. “When you take a map of the U.S. and look at Boise, we have nonstop service to nearly every major hub in the Midwest and across the West. American [Airlines] is one of the largest carriers in the nation, and this links us to cities across the world—and especially to Latin and South America.” Years in the making, the American service between Boise and Dallas/Fort Worth was delayed by the recession and American’s bankruptcy. It subsequently merged with U.S. Airways in 2014, creating the world’s biggest airline (by revenue and fleet size). In spring 2012, Hupp had only been the airport director for a short time when Boise Weekly asked her what route she would like to see come to Boise. “Can I only have one?” she asked. “As far as destinations, we know that there’s strong demand for service to Dallas and/or Houston, and they’re hub destinations.” Two years later, Hupp helped secure United Airlines’ direct service between Boise and Houston. She’ll be there to greet the American flight from DFW, and she’ll be there to see passengers off on the first nonstop American flight from BOI to DFW. 8 “This will be our 20th nonstop daily service at the Boise Airport,” said Hupp, who

It’s a good bet that Stan Voshell will be saving a life—probably sometime in the next week. But first, he’ll be going to the local Red Cross blood donation center. He knows the location well, his donation of a pint of blood platelets brings his total contributions, to date, to nearly 50 gallons. “And platelets are really special, because that’s what we’re using for trauma victims, someone who has just got of surgery or cancer patients,” said Red Cross Communications Manager Tammy Nakamura. “But they only have a shelf-life of five days. They have to be processed, delivered and transfused as quickly as possible.” With the Memorial Day weekend ushering in the unofficial start of summer, Nakamura said the need for platelets takes on a special urgency. “The reason platelets are so critical is that they have a high clotting capability, so important to the healing process,” said Nakamura from the Red Cross Lewis and Clark regional office in Salt Lake City. It turns out the platelet donation process is a bit more time-consuming that the typical blood donation—it can take up to two hours—but donations can be made more often (weekly) as opposed to regular blood cells, which can be donated every 42 days. “The actual technical name for the platelet process is ‘apheresis,’” said Nokamura. “And donors can certainly refer to that when they come in, but most of the time, people just say ‘platelet donation.’” Donation centers can be accessed at redcrossblood.org and donors can speed up the process by completing pre-donation questionnaires online. Blood donation drives are slated at locations across the Treasure Valley throughout the summer. Donors can specify whether they’re willing to give plasma, red blood cells or platelets. “And that Mr. Voshell, what a life-saver,” said Nakamura. “We’re always looking for the next Mr. Voshell.” —George Prentice BOISEweekly | MAY 25–31, 2016 | 7

“Make a Splash” grants will assist as many 1,000 Canyon County kids with swim lessons.

LIFE LESSONS IN A SWIMMING POOL The moment public schools let kids loose for the summer, public swimming pools can’t open soon enough. Nampa outdoor pools will open first, on Friday, May 27, followed by those in Caldwell on Saturday, May 28. Boise public pools open on Thursday, June 2, followed by Meridian pools on Monday, June 6. However, too many children don’t know how to swim and can’t afford lessons. That’s why the Colorado-based USA Swimming Foundation tosses a life raft to local communities with its “Make a Splash” grant program. Over the past seven years the program has, through its local partnerships, offered lessons at no or low cost to more than 9 million American kids. “This year, we’ll reach more than 800,000 kids,” said Shweta Shreyarthi, Make a Splash Program coordinator. “Our goal is to help 1 million kids each year.” With that in mind, Make a Splash is sending much-needed funds to the Treasure Valley YMCA to offer lessons to Canyon County kids. “They’ve identified a lot of children in the Caldwell, Vallivue and Homedale school districts that can really use this assistance,” said Shreyarthi. “Our grants reach out to kids regardless of financial status or race or any barrier that keeps them from getting a swim lesson. The YMCA’s application said that these kids wouldn’t normally receive any kind of swim safety instruction.” The program is expected to assist as many as 1,000 Canyon County children. “Swim lessons reduce the risk of drowning by 88 percent,” said Debbie Hesse, executive director of USA Swimming. “We’re saving the lives of today’s kids and many more in future generations.” The grants will spark interest as early as this summer and continue into the school year, according to USA Swimming. “Swimming’s a blast, but this is a life lesson,” said Shreyarthi. —George Prentice 8 | MAY 25–31, 2016 | BOISEweekly

ANIME OASIS

SUN VALLEY WELLNESS FESTIVAL

ISF: AND THEN THERE WERE NONE

Now in its 15th year, Anime Oasis has grown so much, it not only takes over the Grove Hotel and CenturyLink Arena, but will have some events at the Boise Centre this year, allowing a little more breathing room for the 200 or so happenings. A comprehensive list of rules regarding safety, good hygiene and inclusiveness; and the low cost of entry ensures a welcoming environment for devotees and the uninitiated alike. Attendees can indulge in or learn about all things anime with curated Artist Alley populated by around 30 purveyors of pins, plushies and more; appearances by renowned voice actors; a formal dance; cosplay, trivia and karaoke contests; photo shoots; a J-fashion show; taiko performance; roller skating and so much more that you won’t be able to toss a Pokeball down Front Street without catching some anime-inspired fun. All day, $8-$45. The Grove Hotel, 245 S. Capitol Blvd., 208333-8000, animeoasis.org.

Staring at our phones has become more compelling than taking care of ourselves. As a result, people face a spiritual deﬁcit that affects their health, relationships and sense of wellbeing. There’s a festival for that: the Sun Valley Wellness Festival. Far from cities where buildings and bright lights blot out the sun and the stars, catch featured speakers like Marianne Williamson, who will talk on spirituality and living miraculously; David Whyte, who will discuss the courageous life; and singer/songwriter Jewel, who will offer parenting tips. Get your yoga on, check out the Experience Hall, try out guided meditation—do it for four days and return rejuvenated to modernity. Day passes are $107, individual events are $25 and up, and, for the full experience—a private reception, Yogi Pre-Funk reception and reserved access to the Sun Valley Pavilion—you can shell out $620. $25-$620. Sun Valley Resort, 1 Sun Valley Road, Sun Valley, 208-622-4111, sunvalleywellness.org.

With more than 2 billion copies of her crime and detective books printed, Agatha Christie is bested only by Shakespeare and the good book for most widely read writer of yarns (or spiritual truths, depending on what you believe). Almost all readers agree the cream of the Christie crop is her 1939 thriller And Then There Were None, which was originally published with a title too offensive even for the ’30s and had to be adapted for United States audiences. Here’s the gist: a group of strangers are lured to a remote English island resort where they begin to meet gruesome and untimely ends. With only the fallen believed innocent, who among them is the killer? Find out at the Idaho Shakespeare Festival, Friday, May 27- Sunday, July 31. Friday-Saturday, May 27-28, 8 p.m.; Sunday, May 29, 7 p.m. $20-$75. Idaho Shakespeare Festival, 5657 Warm Springs Ave., 208-336-9221, idahoshakespeare.org.

War and remembrance.

Calls to Artists MEMORIAL DAY 2016 It’s estimated that nearly 11 percent of Idahoans have worn a uniform in the service of their country (compared to a national average of about 7 percent). Unfortunately, that also means too many Idaho residents have made the ultimate sacrifice—something we memorialize on the final Monday of May. The state’s largest Memorial Day ceremony will begin at 10 a.m., Monday, May 30, at the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery off of Horseshoe Bend Road in Boise. This year’s event will include an aircraft flyover; wreath presentations; special honors bestowed to Gold Star mothers, fathers and families; and participation from the United States Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force. Other ceremonies will take place across the Treasure Valley, including events in Meridian, Nampa, Caldwell, Emmett and at Morris Hill Cemetery in Boise. 10 a.m., Idaho State Veterans Cemetery, 10100 Horseshoe Bend Road, 208-780-1340, veterans.idaho.gov.

For Delaware North, the company that manages food services at the Boise Airport, getting passengers to buy meals while rushing to and from flights has been a challenge—but it may have found the solution in the smartphone. “We even had [an app] we built in-house, knowing that there was a need,” said Delaware North Regional Vice President Jeff Friedman. As Friedman pointed out, Delaware North is a food service company, not a software developer, so it partnered with Grab, an app that lets travelers order and pay for food from airport eateries without leaving the line. Delaware North launched Grab at the Boise Airport May 12 and now passengers can order from 13th Street Pub, Parrilla Bar and Grill, Bardenay, River City Coffee, Cross Grain, Einstein Bros. Bagels, Harvest & Grounds and Smashburger right from the TSA checkpoint, and it will be ready and waiting once they’ve cleared security without waiting in a second line. TSA lines have a profound impact on how much money people spend in airports. A 2015 FlightView analysis showed passengers spend up to 45 percent more if they’re satisfied with their airport experience. Another FlightView analysis showed an extra 10 minutes waiting to get through security reduces retail spending at airports by up to 30 percent. Grab CEO Mark Bergsrud knows this intimately. He spent 20 years in the airline industry working at United and Continental airlines, including a stint as the senior vice president of marketing at United. Bergsrud said he remembers how much of a gamechanger the Internet has been for the airline industry, from the first mobile check-ins and online plane ticket sales—developments that “added a ton of value to the experience and efficiency to the airline.” The hurdle to Grab’s success, he said, was making the app useful in as many airports as possible. Recent partnerships with large airport food service companies has helped the company overcome that. Delaware North operates food services in 30 airports in North America, and another agreement with Paradies Lagardere will eventually add Grab coverage to as many as 217 airports in more than 30 countries, including air traffic hubs in Pittsburgh and Denver. “Our goal is to provide a ubiquitous platform. We want to provide coverage at every significant airport, with every airport’s dining and retail,” Bergsrud said. “For our partners, the real value proposition is, they’ll have access to millions of customers rather than tens of thousands.” —Harrison Berry 14 | MAY 25–31, 2016 | BOISEweekly

Weigh in on the plan to guide Boise public art.

BOISE CITY DEPARTMENT OF ARTS AND HISTORY SEEKS INPUT ON DRAFT CULTURAL MASTER PLAN

BW STAFF Based on Treasure Valley events calendars, the residents of Ada and Canyon counties like to get out and about during the summer months. A lot.

From traffic box art to grants for local creatives, the Boise City Department of Arts and History has sought to beautify every available nook and cranny in the City of Trees and foster its creative culture. In part, it does so because Arts and History sees the arts as a gateway to making Boise more livable for residents and attractive to businesses. Now, Arts and History is looking to the future, seeking input on its newly released Cultural Master Plan. Included in the plan is a history of public support for cultural projects; the nature of current city support, including the Percent for Art program; and its plan to keep the ball rolling with public arts and culture. According to the plan, Boise’s assets include “many established cultural organizations and facilities,” “respect and engagement” of those facilities and programs, a supportive mayor and city council, and an experienced Arts and History staff that has shepherded commissions and gifts of public art. It also highlighted what are seen as Arts and History’s weaknesses, like the lack of a central arts, cultural and historical site; insufficient funds; the absence of a public archive and “overarching curatorial vision”; and decreasing contributions from corporations and foundations. Diversity among artists, administrators and staff was also identified as a weakness. Moving forward, Arts and History will push for a revision of the 2001 Percent for Arts ordinance—its last revision was in 2009—to apply to private development. It will also attempt to centralize its organization and integrate public art into future development plans, including creating incentives for developers to incorporate or make room for public art in future projects. The plan also calls for developing a comprehensive City Archive and Records Center, and a central cultural space for “exhibitions, workshops and public gatherings,” as well as fostering cultural diversity, gathering more data on Boise’s culture and creative class, and to “explore the possibility of a separate ‘friends’ organization” to help fund additional initiatives. Arts and History is seeking public input on the plan, which can be viewed online. Comments may be submitted to departmentofartsandhistory@cityofboise.org until Friday, June 3. —Harrison Berry BOISEweekly | MAY 25–31, 2016 | 27

IDYLTIME, MAY 26, RECORD EXCHANGE When Ava Honey, Beth Mason, Dave Daley and Tate Mason get together, the results are proof the quartet is aptly named. The band’s acoustic roots are like a time machine, set to arrive in an idyllic era past. With its spankin’ new sophomore release, Rimrock Country (self-released, 2016), Idyltime acts as a guide on this trip through time. Daley picks the hell out of Idyltime’s mashup of traditional tunes “Lacy Brown” and “Sugar in the Gourd” and 18th century foot stomper “Buffalo Gals.” However, Idyltime also delivers a promise of longevity—like the formation for which the album is named—with well-crafted original songs (many written or co-written by Honey), like “Tied Up and Tangled,” woven together with memorable melodies and sweet Honey-Mason harmonies that linger. Whether to long ago or to a new appreciation of acoustic roots, Idyltime’s CD release performance at Record Exchange on Thursday, May 26 will be a trip. —Amy Atkins 6 p.m., FREE.

NED EVETT, MAY 28, SAPPHIRE ROOM Longtime pillar of the Boise music scene Ned Evett is legit famous for his one-of-a-kind glass-necked, fretless guitar. He’s been featured in every guitar magazine worth noting, toured and performed alongside some of the greatest musicians of the age and, in 2003, won the North American Rock Guitar Competition. Evett was also the subject of a 2004 PBS documentary, Driven to Play, that aired throughout the United States and Canada. Now the Nashville-born, Boise High graduate is bringing his world-class blend of Americana and Modern Rock to the Sapphire Room in Boise for a show of musical dexterity and talent that should be required listening for devotees of the local scene. A similar show last year at the Sapphire Room sold out, so time is of the essence. Get tickets at brownpapertickets.com ($18 general admission, $25 preferred seating) or try your luck at the door, where unsold seats will go for $23 general, $30 preferred. You’ll need that luck, too, advance sales will close four hours before the show and door sales will end an hour before Evett takes the stage. —Zach Hagadone Doors at 6:30 p.m., show at 7:30 p.m.; $18-$30.

TICKET TO RIDE

RECREATION

From Daley: “Decide if you want to try bike camping by riding paved roads or gravel roads. … Once you have gone out and done your first bike camping trip, then you can decide where you really hope to travel and start purchasing specialized gear. “When on a mountain bike, you’re able to experience Idaho backcountry in ways you simply can’t in a motor vehicle. Even when backpacking, you still can’t cover as much ground as you can on a bike.” From Ellis: “Every year we do a simple overnight tour out to Celebration Park off the Snake River. … It is fun to watch the newbies carry in way too much stuff … then we set up a campfire and tell horror stories about bike camping adventures. It’s really fun.”

GEAR With millions of options to choose from, I asked this question of Ellis: “What kind of gear do you need to successfully bike camp?” “The basics,” he said. “I always bring a water filter, a 32-degree sleeping bag, a sleeping pad, a wool sweater and generally enough clothes to cover the temperature difference of the sleeping bag and what the temperature is supposed to be.” BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Bike camping: An introduction

I like to take off into the wilderness looking for nothing but huckleberries and adventure, and I’ve found a new method of doing so: Bike Camping. I had never thought of combining my love for hiking and biking until I came across a group of bike campers on a trail south of McCall last June. I made eye contact with one and it was like a Vulcan mind meld—I could sense the fun and adventure they were having, and I wanted some of it. Like any good explorer, a little research was in order before I struck out on my own. I used the power of social media to contact a few bike camping experts, looking for advice. First, I contacted Fred Ellis, a bike camping racer (yes, that is a thing). Then I contacted Aileen Frey, an avid bike camper and member of local biking club Wandering Wheels. I also spoke with Go Bike Idaho founder Amber Daley about some more general mountain biking dos and don’ts. Here’s what I gleaned:

35TH

Always The First Friday & Saturday After Memorial Day BOISE GREEK FESTIVAL.COM

Oh, the places you’ll go with nothing but two wheels and some lightweight camping gear.

From Frey: “Figure out if you are comfortable camping in the great outdoors. … Start by planning an overnight to an area you are familiar with; that way you will know if water is available on site or will you have to carry your water, and possibly learn to use a water filter. Go as light as possible, but bring everything you think you need to use.” Daley noted, “I always pack a ton of water, plenty of snacks, an extra tube and a pump or CO2 cartridges, protective biking gloves, moisture wicking clothes, a pocketknife, a multitool, a headlamp, an easily condensable rain jacket or windbreaker and a flask, of course. I have never regretted having all of those things on every ride in the backcountry.”

TRANSPORTING THE GEAR Just as important as the equipment used is the method of strapping it down to the bike for easy mobility. “The old school way is the rack/pannier system,” said Ellis. Basically, that means equipping a bike with saddle bags that function as the main gear hauling points via a rack over the front and back tires. “The newer systems take advantage of that big triangular gap in the center of the bike,” Ellis added. “Now you will see folks with a pad and sleeping bag over the front handles, a pod sticking out the back of their seat and a big sack Velcroed to the frame.” Either one works, he said, but the newer system is less cumbersome. “It is very nice to start with a bike that can

have a rack attached on the back, or on the front,” Frey said. “A lot of camping equipment can just be strapped onto a rack. Stuff sacks can be secured to the rack to carry your personal items. … I use the same tools and principles as backpacking, just strapped down to my bike.”

LOCATIONS I asked Ellis for a quick list of locations— from easy to hard—where I could bike camp. Easy: Riding and camping at Celebration Park is great. Bonus: Lots of other non-riding activities including the petroglyphs, the atlatl throwing area (Stone Age spear throwing mechanism) and Snake River make it a great introductory location. Medium: Biking behind Arrowrock Reservoir. This one is tricky with traffic in the summer but you can see some cool stuff and have a great adventure. Hard: Idaho Hot Springs Mountain Biking Route. “Google it, it’s awesome” Ellis said. Stupid Hard: Smoke ’N’ Fire 400. “This is a 400-mile-plus unsupported race for adventure bike campers; it is not for the faint of heart. It took me five days to complete,” Ellis said. “Last year with all the re-routing due to fires it was actually a 468-mile ride.” With advice in hand, gear in mind and destination determined, I will be headed out to Celebration Park soon to test my skills as a bike camper. With any luck, I can mind meld with a hiker and inspire him or her to take up two wheels. BOISEweekly | MAY 25–31, 2016 | 33

SCREEN BW’S SUMMER MOVIE PREVIEW More of us are choosing to watch our movies from the comfort of our living rooms, but motion picture studios—big and small—will still do their darndest this summer to lure us into the local movie theater. Some will be huge, box office bonanzas—let’s call those “air conditioning.” Some will be less-so but still worth our attention—let’s call those “box fan.” And some are smaller in budget, but refreshing nonetheless—let’s call those a “cool breeze.” So here are our respective picks, with those in bold being the particular movies we’re excited to see in the coming three months. —George Prentice

A Bigger Splash is a bloody good ﬁlm. By bloody, we mean unmistakably entertaining—and unquestionably bloody.

DEEP WATERS

A Bigger Splash and the cannonball that is Ralph Fiennes GEORGE PRENTICE

A Bigger Splash is a gorgeous sun-drenched Italian island getaway, until it isn’t. The film shapeshifts into a hypersexualized potboiler, until it isn’t. What it is, ultimately, is a bloody good film. By bloody, I mean unmistakably entertaining—and unquestionably bloody. Ralph Fiennes makes the biggest splash in this thriller with what is, by far, the best male performance of the year to date. Fiennes’ dramatic turns—Schindler’s List, The English Patient, The Constant Gardener—defined so much of his early career, but it’s his comedic prowess that impresses me most, particularly in 2014’s The Grand Budapest Hotel and Hail, Caesar!, perhaps the most underappreciated film of 2016. In A Bigger Splash, Fiennes plays Harry, a human tornado who crashes the island love nest of his former lover and business partner Marianne (Tilda Swinton in all her angular perfection) and Marianne’s new paramour, the introspective Paul (Matthias Schoenaerts, so impressive in last year’s The Danish Girl). Harry doesn’t just bring his own emotional baggage, he also has in tow Penelope (Dakota Johnson), his daughter from another of his previous BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Oscar-winning Swinton is perfectly cast as relationships. If you’re keeping score, that’s four Marianne, a glam rock goddess who performs ridiculously attractive adults with the sultry before sold-out stadiums and arenas (think Italian island of Pantelleria as a backdrop, so there’s plenty of nudity, a lot of sex and buckets Chrissie Hynde).

CITIZEN JER

NING

LAURA WELSH BERG AND TOM FORD

HAM

And then there were two... GEORGE PRENTICE

Whodunit? Laura Welsh Berg and Tom Ford aren’t telling. That would spoil all of the fun in And Then There Were None, the opening production of the Idaho Shakespeare Festival 2016 season, the company’s 40th. “I’m in three shows this summer: And Then There Were None, My Fair Lady and Twelfth Night,” said Ford. “I get a gold star; I’m in all four,” said Berg, adding Love’s Labour’s Lost to her list. Just prior to the launch of another summer under the lights, the two spoke with Boise Weekly about their love of murder mysteries, repertory theater and Idaho audiences. Audiences may be surprised to learn this production doesn’t conclude with the ending from the original stage or films productions, many called Ten Little Indians. Ford: Our production climaxes with the same ending from the original novel [Agatha Christie’s Ten Little Indians was first published in 1939]. Without giving too much away, it’s fair to say at the ending is quite provocative. How did audiences react when you unveiled this production earlier this year at the Great Lakes Theater in Cleveland? Berg: We had a lot of huge fans of the Agatha Christie novel who were pretty excited to see the ending that would reflect the way they first read it. There are countless renditions of this particular story. How do you feel about witnessing other productions or films of the same show that you’re preparing for? Ford: When you hear someone else’s voice portraying the same character, it gets in your head, and not in a particularly helpful way. Berg: It’s a choice I’ve grown into. I was obsessed with Kenneth Branagh’s film of Much Ado About Nothing, and when I was cast as Beatrice, all I could hear in my head was Emma Thompson. Charlie Fee is directing this particular production. Most of us know him as the producing artistic director. How does that differ from Charlie Fee the director? Ford: He loves mysteries and thrillers, so he 36 | MAY 25–31, 2016 | BOISEweekly

really dives into this genre. Some directors work well with performers, but the visuals aren’t so great. Charlie is great at both. Berg: He’s always an advocate for the audience. He helped design the theater, so it’s a bit of a master class to move through this space. What’s the secret sauce of enduring a summer of repertory? Ford: A good night’s sleep and the exact timing of your eating. And, particularly outdoors, you have to stay hydrated. Can I assume that there is plenty of water backstage? Ford: You bet. Dehydration can catch you unawares. Berg: There are not many companies left in the nation that do repertory. It’s a marathon, a lot of work and effort, but it’s worth it because it brings us so much closer. Nearly 90 years after its publication, it’s stunning that And Then There Were None is still so popular. Ford: It’s the best-selling mystery of all time and the No. 5 bestselling novel of all. Why do you think that is? Ford: When you consider the time in which this was written and the fact that it was written by a woman, it’s extraordinary. Berg: The story is a deeply disturbing, yet very human, experience. Think of this: When might you finally admit your darkest secret? Ford: When we performed in Cleveland, this production became the second-best selling show they’ve ever done. Laura, you’re in four shows this summer. Being in repertory, have you ever had the experience of breaking into the wrong character in the wrong production? Berg: No. You would never mow the lawn with a vacuum cleaner. All right, then. Berg: It’s the same motion, but they’re different tools. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

BEERGUZZLER BARBECUE BREWS What makes a great summer barbecue beer? First, it needs to be cool and refreshing to provide relief from the heat. Second, it shouldn’t be the center of the meal, but a complement. Third, it should be low enough in alcohol so you can responsibly have a few. Lagers fit the bill, which is why Budweiser is so ubiquitous. Here are three local lagers (all in cans, perfect for camp barbecues) that will make you forget the Clydesdales. PAYETTE BREWING FLY LINE VIENNA STYLE LAGER, $1.60-$1.90 This pale golden pour is topped by a brief, thin head. You get notes of bread, floral hops and subtle malt on the nose with a touch of fresh cut hay. The oh-so-easy drinking palate is a mix of light hops, creamy malt with bits of citrus and apple on the finish. Bring on summer. SOCKEYE LUCKY PEAK PILSNER, $1.60-$1.90 Another light-golden brew with a thin head, it has bright citrus on the nose, with sweet malt, grain and a surprisingly overt hit of pine-laced hops. More citrus on the palate (sweet lime and orange) and lightly toasted malt, it finishes with soft, just bitter hops on the finish. Eminently quaffable. WOODLAND EMPIRE OLD BOISE LAGER, $1.20-$1.50 Caution is advised when pouring this hazy straw colored brew—it’s topped by an explosive, three-finger head with exceptional persistence and beautiful lacing. The mix of aromas includes sourdough bread, corn flake, sweet malt and light hops. The malt flavors are balanced by green apple with a touch of hops on the finish. You’ll want more than one. —David Kirkpatrick BOISE WEEKLY.COM

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): To convey the best strategy for you to employ in the coming weeks, I have drawn inspiration from a set of instructions composed by aphorist Alex Stein: Scribble, scribble, erase. Scribble, erase, scribble. Scribble, scribble, scribble, scribble. Erase, erase, erase. Scribble, erase. Keep what’s left. In other words, Aries, you have a mandate to be innocently empirical, robustly experimental, and cheerfully improvisational—with the understanding that you must also balance your fun with ruthless editing. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “One must think like a hero to behave like a merely decent human being,” wrote Taurus memoirist May Sarton. That’s a dauntingly high standard to live up to, but for the foreseeable future it’s important that you try. In the coming weeks, you will need to maintain a heroic level of potency and excellence if you hope to keep your dreams on track and your integrity intact. Luckily, you will have an extraordinary potential to do just that. But you’ll have to work hard to fulfill the potential—as hard as a hero on a quest to find the real Holy Grail in the midst of all the fake Holy Grails. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Whatever you’re meant to do, do it now,” said novelist Doris Lessing. “The conditions are always impossible.” I hope you take her advice

to heart, Gemini. In my astrological opinion, there is no good excuse for you to postpone your gratification or to procrastinate about moving to the next stage of a big dream. It’s senseless to tell yourself that you will finally get serious as soon as all the circumstances are perfect. Perfection does not and will never exist. The future is now. You’re as ready as you will ever be.

into a mirror and rehearse your “I only have eyes for you” gaze until it is both luminous and smoldering. Cultivate facial expressions that are full of tender, focused affection. Got all that, Leo? My purpose in urging you to engage in these practices is that it’s the High Sexy Time of year for you. You have a license to be as erotically attractive and wisely intimate as you dare.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): French painter Henri Matisse didn’t mind being unmoored, befuddled, or in-between. In fact, he regarded these states as being potentially valuable to his creative process. Here’s his testimony: “In art, truth and reality begin when one no longer understands what one is doing or what one knows.” I’m recommending that you try out his attitude, Cancerian. In my astrological opinion, the time has come for you to drum up the inspirations and revelations that become available when you don’t know where the hell you are and what the hell you’re doing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you’ll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others,” wrote editor Jacob M. Braude. Normally I would endorse his poignant counsel, but for the foreseeable future I am predicting that the first half of it won’t fully apply to you. Why? Because you are entering a phase that I regard as unusually favorable for the project of transforming yourself. It may not be easy to do so, but it’ll be easier than it has been in a long time. And I bet you will find the challenge to reimagine, reinvent, and reshape yourself at least as much fun as it is hard work.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Proposed experiment: Imagine that all the lovers and would-be lovers you have ever adored are in your presence. Review in detail your memories of the times you felt thrillingly close to them. Fill yourself up with feelings of praise and gratitude for their mysteries. Sing the love songs you love best. Look

40 | MAY 25–31, 2016 | BOISEweekly

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Never turn down an adventure without a really good reason,” says author Rebecca Solnit in her book The Far Away Nearby. That’s a thought she had as she contemplated the possibility of riding a raft down the Colorado River and through the Grand Canyon. Here’s

how I suspect this meditation applies to you, Libra: There have been other times and there will be other times when you will have good reasons for not embarking on an available adventure. But now is not one of those moments. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Russian poet Vera Pavlova tells about how once when she was using a pen and paper to jot down some fresh ideas, she got a paper cut on her palm. Annoying, right? On the contrary. She loved the fact that the new mark substantially extended her life line. The palmistry-lover in her celebrated. I’m seeing a comparable twist in your near future, Scorpio. A minor inconvenience or mild setback will be a sign that a symbolic revitalization or enhancement is nigh. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Norway is mountainous, but its neighbor Finland is quite flat. A group of Norwegians has launched a campaign to partially remedy the imbalance. They propose that to mark the hundredth anniversary of Finland’s independence, their country will offer a unique birthday gift: the top of Halti mountain. Right now the 4,479-foot peak is in Norway. But under the proposed plan, the border between countries will be shifted so that the peak will be transferred to Finland. I would love you to contemplate generous gestures like this in the coming

weeks, Sagittarius. It’s a highly favorable time for you to bestow extra imaginative blessings. (P.S. The consequences will be invigorating to your own dreams.) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I believe that every one of us should set aside a few days every year when we celebrate our gaffes, our flaws, and our bloopers. During this crooked holiday, we are not embarrassed about the false moves we have made. We don’t decry our bad judgment or criticize our delusional behavior. Instead, we forgive ourselves of our sins. We work to understand and feel compassion for the ignorance that led us astray. Maybe we even find redemptive value in our apparent lapses; we come to see that they saved us from some painful experience or helped us avoid getting a supposed treasure that would have turned out to be a booby prize. Now would be a perfect time for you to observe this crooked holiday. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Sometimes the love you experience for those you care about makes you feel vulnerable. You may worry about being out of control or swooping so deeply into your tenderness that you lose yourself. Giving yourself permission to cherish and nurture can make you feel exposed, even unsafe. But none of that applies in the coming

weeks. According to my interpretation of the astrological omens, love will be a source of potency and magnificence for you. It will make you smarter, braver, and cooler. Your words of power will be this declaration by Syrian poet Nizar Qabbani: “When I love / I feel that I am the king of time / I possess the earth and everything on it / and ride into the sun upon my horse.” (Translated by Lena Jayyusi and Christopher Middleton.) PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In November 1916, at the height of World War I, the Swedish schooner Jönköping set sail for Finland, carrying 4,400 bottles of champagne intended for officers of the occupying Russian army. But the delivery was interrupted. A hostile German submarine sunk the boat, and the precious cargo drifted to the bottom of the Baltic Sea. The story didn’t end there, however. More than eight decades later, a Swedish salvage team retrieved a portion of the lost treasure, which had been well-preserved in the frosty abyss. Taste tests revealed that the bubbly alcoholic beverage was “remarkably lightbodied, extraordinarily elegant and fantastically fresh, with discreet, slow-building toasty aromas of great finesse.” (Source: tinyurl. com/toastyaromas.) I foresee the potential of a similar resurrection in your future, Pisces. How deep are you willing to dive?

MINERVA’S BREAKDOWN

KIKKERLAND FAN

$GYLFH IRU WKRVH RQ WKH YHUJH DEAR MINERVA, How do you tell your partner you have an STD? Sincerely, —Itchin’ to Know

DEAR ITCHIN’, Oh my! What a potentially inﬂammatory conversation you are about to have! STDs are a fact of life in this world. Thankfully many of them are treatable, curable and easy to prevent. However, that doesn’t change the delicate nature of discharging the truth to your partner who absolutely must know before the next sexual activity occurs. My burning questions are whether or not you had the STD before you became involved and if you knew about it before entering into this relationship. Some STDs/STIs are asymptomatic to some people—they may not know they are carrying them. Whether you contracted this from your partner, before you became involved with your partner or due to an indiscretion, you have to fess up. When you get your diagnosis from your doctor, sit down with your partner and let them know that an unwelcome guest has made an appearance. Yes, this could be an uncomfortable conversation with revelations that may be unpleasant. It might be an opportunity to hear the truth or maybe an opportunity for your partner to check out their sexual health as well. Treating your STD and treating the underlying relationship issues might be a bummer while it is happening, but you will be glad that you did in the long run. You owe it to yourself and your partner to face the dirty truth about STDs. I wish you luck, sweetness.

If you need more than a pair of shaded specs to be chill, we’d like to suggest the Kikkerland fan, a little go-go-gadget our own Minerva Jayne found just in time for summer at the Flying M gift shop. It plugs into the USB mini port on your iPhone, doesn’t seem to consume much battery and blows air at a brisk (and cooling) pace. The plastic blades are pretty sturdy but soft enough not to nick you up if you touch them when they’re moving— something you’re bound to do because the fan’s one drawback is that it sits right above your iPhone home button like Mike $4.50, Flying M Coffeeshop, 500 Piazza used to cover home W. Idaho St., ﬂyingmcoffee.com plate. If for just a moment, though, you can forget about updating your status, posting pics of your food or downloading new emoji packs, you can sit back and let the Kikkerland fan kick a cool breeze your way.
