EDITOR’S NOTE FEAR ITSELF Processing yet another instance of public horror—this time the mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla.—has led to the same litany of explanations that have become a dirge in our national conversation: access to assault weapons, lack of access to mental health care, terrorism, Islamic extremism, hate.

That more than 100 members of the LGBT community were killed or injured in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history is a mind-bending tragedy that can be laid at the feet of the killer. That they were targeted because they were members of the LGBT community is a tragedy that weak-willed politicians, demagogues and bigots must be made accountable for.

Whether Omar Mateen was a homophobe, a sympathizer with the so-called Islamic State terrorist group or suffering a mental health crisis, that he chose the Pulse nightclub—where he was said to have been a regular guest—to commit his murders makes it an assault on a community that is assaulted in some way every day.

The LGBT community is assaulted by retrograde lawmakers such as we have in Idaho, whose refusal to even consider adding the words “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” to the state’s human rights laws has gone from absurd to mean-spirited.

The community is assaulted by religious leaders whose denunciations of what they call a “lifestyle” and a “choice” should disqualify them from any claim to moral authority. The assaults are physical, as with the killing of Steven Nelson, and verbal, coming from bigots who can’t go to the bathroom without being afraid they may share the space with a transgender person.

What unites these assaults is fear, and generalized anxiety has become a sickness of the soul being fed from all sides. We fear the government, we fear immigrants, we fear youths in our cities, we fear those with differing opinions. Fear animates the presumptive presidential candidate of the Republican Party and it trickles down to the poisonous vitriol that has become the language of the Internet. What’s worse, we’ve weaponized these emotions.

Fear has become our national pastime and it may be our epitaph unless we have a come-to-humanity moment. Hopefully, in this season of Pride, we will.

HOW BOISE MIGHT HELP SAVE THE ‘LAST UNICORN’

NEWS

BPD Deputy Chief Eugene Smith: “Privacy has been the most difficult aspect.”

BOISE PD HAS BODY CAMERAS BUT NO OFFICIAL POLICY IN PLACE TO GOVERN THEM

The plight of the saola represents a clear and present danger

GEORGE PRENTICE Sometime this month—maybe next week, possibly the week after—someone will walk through the gates of Zoo Boise and the organization will achieve a milestone.

“We’ll hit the $2 million mark,” said Zoo Boise Director Steve Burns.

“It’s quite… Well, that’s quite remarkable, isn’t it?” he said.

The $2 million isn’t earmarked for the zoo or its exhibits, although Zoo Boise has significant needs, and its plans for growth are considerable.

Instead, the $2 million will leave Boise to fund conservation efforts across the planet in an effort to save the very species zoo attendees love to visit.

“We have to do it. Society is changing and has higher expectations,” said Burns. “People ask, ‘Why do we have animals at the zoo in the 21st century?’ It’s a good question. For us, the answer is because these animals help us generate hundreds of thousands of dollars every year to help us protect their wild counterparts and, now, we’ve reached $2 million. That’s our mission now.”

It wasn’t and isn’t always the case. Many American zoos and aquariums don’t collect or send funds outside their gates to help with global conservation efforts. What’s more, Zoo Boise has taken the lead in what started as a controversial economic model but has resulted in a major success story. Its roots can be traced directly to Burns.

“I don’t know if many people really know what a global force of nature Steve Burns is,” said renowned animal biologist Dr. William Robichaud.

“I’ve seen him speak before global organizations of zoos, and he’s the guy saying, ‘We need to be, foremost, conservation organizations—not just amusement parks with animals.”

Zoo Boise’s conservation efforts began about 10 years ago when Burns was thinking about leaving the zoo. He had applied for a job with a well known conservation nonprofit and when Clay Gill, then-board chairman of Friends of Zoo Boise, asked Burns why he would leave, Burns explained his passion was in conservation.

“That’s when Clay Gill gave me the greatest professional gift I ever received. He said, ‘If you B OI S E WEEKLY.C O M

want to focus on conservation, I’ll support you,’” said Burns. “It gave me permission to think differently about the zoo. It took me a few months to wrap my head around it, and then it came to me: a quarter.”

Twenty-five cents may not seem significant but, $2 million later, it has literally saved the lives of some of our planet’s most vulnerable creatures.

Here’s the secret: None of those 25-cent donations were voluntary. They were tacked onto the price of zoo admission. Burns said 25 cents wasn’t really big enough for anyone to argue over. But, boy, it adds up fast,” he added.

Three years after the program began, the 25-cent hike became 35 cents added to each admission, then it was increased to 50 cents, where it currently stands. All revenues from Zoo Boise’s popular river boat ride, income from the giraffe and sloth bear encounters, and the “zoo farm,” where visitors can feed the animals, all benefit the same purpose.

“We turned the act of visiting the zoo into an act of conservation,” said Burns. “You show up, you pay a conservation fee. You ride the boat; feed the giraffes, the sloth bears or llamas; you support conservation. We have a moral and ethical obligation to do something like this.”

Burns said he couldn’t have embarked on such a project without the “political support” of Boise Mayor Dave Bieter and the Boise City Council.

“It’s not easy to send 10 percent of your money out the door,” he added.

Burns is a bit of an evangelist, convincing as many as 27 other United States zoos to replicate Zoo Boise’s conservation economic model. Just imagine what could happen if all zoos accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums—there are about 200 in the U.S.—put a percentage of each admission toward conservation.

“If every one of those AZA institutions were to commit to the level of Zoo Boise—about 10 percent of our budget—that national number would

be about $500 million a year. You don’t get an opportunity to create a billion dollars every two years,” said Burns. “We have a large percentage of the American public coming to us; no one else is in the position that we are.”

Burns himself is in a good position to bend the ears of his counterparts at other zoos: He’s currently the national chairman of the board of the AZA. It was at another organization’s symposium where Burns heard a compelling story about the near-extinction of one of the planet’s most elusive animals, which is sometimes called “the last unicorn.”

“I heard the speaker talk about the saola, and I kept thinking, ‘The saola, the saola. Where have I heard of that before?’ And then it came to me: 1992,” Burns said.

In 1992, a team of biologists discovered the saola—Vietnamese for “spindle horns”—deep in the forest between Laos and Vietnam, in what the World Wildlife Federation calls “one of the most spectacular zoological discoveries of the 20th century.”

“It was an animal unlike any other on Earth,” wrote The New York Times’ Emily Anthes.

“Like that other one-horned beast, it stands close to being the apotheosis of the ineffable, the embodiment of magic in nature,” wrote William deBuys in his book, The Last Unicorn: A Search for One of Earth’s Rarest Creatures. “Unlike the unicorn, however, the saola is corporeal. It lives, and it can die.”

The man whose story grabbed Burns’ attention was Robichaud, who has spent the last 20 years in Laos tracking the saola. Robichaud is the coordinator of the International Union for Conservation of Nature Species Survival Commission Saola Working Group. He said of the 35 members of the IUCN SSC SWG—most 6 of whom are biologists—only two of them have ever seen antelope-like animal.

Boise Police Department officers working the evening shift June 8 were the first members of Boise city law enforcement to wear body cameras. Putting cameras on officers has been in the works for years, and when BPD announced the rollout of the first 30 body cams, department officials hailed it as the dawn of a new era for police accountability, transparency and evidence gathering.

“Body cameras provide a tool which not only documents the great work officers do each day but improves our training, makes criminal prosecution more efficient and builds trust in the community by providing even greater transparency,” wrote Boise Police Chief Bill Bones in a statement.

There’s just one thing missing: a policy for using the new body cams.

According to BPD spokeswoman Haley Williams, officers wearing the cameras will instead work under a draft of the policy that will resemble the one already in place for police audio recording. The official policy won’t go into effect until Friday, July 1. As for the footage captured before then: “Video collected before then will be uploaded and stored pursuant to policy and could be used as evidence,” Williams wrote in an email.

BPD has admitted the process of drafting a policy has been arduous. In November 2015, Bones said he delayed the purchase of cameras as stakeholders—including the police department, the Boise city attorney’s office and ACLU-Idaho—drafted a set of rules and procedures that provided department transparency while affording maximum latitude to public records requests.

Critically, the policy drafting process has hinged on privacy, with some worrying a policy weak on privacy protections could lead to civil rights violations, revictimization and lawsuits stemming not just from how the body cameras are used in the field, but how footage is treated as evidence and how sensitive information is removed from public records requests.

“Privacy has probably been the most difficult aspect [in crafting a body camera policy]. Public records laws in the state of Idaho didn’t anticipate video,” said 6 BPD Deputy Chief Eugene Smith.

IDAHO FEELS ORLANDO’S PAIN

HARRISON BE RRY

Leo Morales, however, not rolling out a policy along with the body cameras 5 places BPD in a “classic, law schooltype” problem in which the legality of evidence produced by police can be called into question. He said its absence could have particular implications on the privacy rights of people caught on camera—precisely those BPD sought to protect in delaying the camera rollout in the first place.

“It’s always extremely critical when the government is going to employ activity that could infringe civil rights,” he said.

During talks with BPD, ACLU-Idaho brought to the table its model body camera policy, which Morales said balances privacy, speech, evidentiary and transparency issues that may arise when law enforcement uses the relatively new technology. That doesn’t mean Morales is completely satisfied with the results, as BPD’s draft policy allows what he described as “terribly long” periods of video retention for some felonies, possible filming of protesters exercising free speech rights and filming on school grounds.

“That’s something that we discourage law enforcement to film,” Morales said of body cameras being used in schools.

The rapid pace of improvements in police technology has been a thorn in the side of policy makers, and watchdogs have taken note. Electronic Frontier Foundation Investigative Researcher Dave Maass said the delay in rolling out rules along with the cameras is part of a trend of law enforcement getting ahead of itself, with best practices being considered after officers begin using their body cameras.

“There’s this game law enforcement plays with policy makers where they go and get [technology] instead of asking for permission in advance,” he said. “Policy doesn’t move as fast as innovation.”

This is disturbing, he said, because wellcrafted policies indicate law enforcement takes body cameras’ roles in transparency, evidence collection and civil rights seriously—and the pitfalls of the new technology are numerous.

Maass recommended cities consult with neutral technologists to identify the hidden ways video evidence could cause harm, and mitigate them through rules and protocols.

“Oftentimes policy makers aren’t the most technologically savvy individuals,” he said.

By the end of 2016, every uniformed officer in the BPD will wear a body cam—250 cameras in all—and, according to Williams, the department will continue to refine policies regarding their use for at least six months after its official rules are written into the Policy and Procedure Manual. Through that process and beyond, it will have a willing partner in the ACLU. “We’ll continue to work with [BPD] to ensure they have a good policy,” Morales said.

Locals react to the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history GEORGE PRENTICE Attacks on the LGBT community, easy access to firearms, inadequate resources to combat mental illness, America’s growing jitters over ISIS-inspired terrorism—they’ve all become fodder for speculation in the shadow of the June 12 mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla., which left 49 dead and dozens more injured.

Some painted 29-year-old gunman Omar Mateen as severely homophobic, others said he was mentally unstable while ISIS—the so-called Islamic State terrorist group—was quick to claim Mateen as one of its “soldiers.” The FBI confirmed that it had interviewed Mateen on at least three occasions but came up with “inconclusive” findings. Nonetheless, Mateen had security and firearm licenses and bought a .223 caliber AR type rifle and 9-millimeter semiautomatic pistol as recently as one week before the shooting.

“We know that 91 Americans are killed every day by gun violence. Obviously this incident will push those numbers higher,” said Hannah Sharp, spokeswoman for the Idaho chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. “But this is an everyday problem. It’s not a sporadic, mass-shooting problem.”

Meanwhile, the grief over the deadliest mass “The saola is maybe the most endangered large mammal in the world,” Robichaud said.

It is also unlike any other animal, accord5 ing to biologists, as it has no close relatives.

It has what is described as “a preternaturally calm disposition,” and its two parallel horns appear as one when viewed from the side.

It lives in the densest of jungles on the border of Vietnam and Laos. Experts believe there are as few as 70 in existence.

Though the jungles of Laos and Vietnam are home to the saola, those same jungles are also rife with danger, filled with traps to capture the many other animals that are regularly poached for black market purposes or medicines.

While the saola is not wanted or particularly needed by poachers, those traps do not discriminate and have sealed the fate of unknown numbers of the anhimal. Currently, the Vietnamese government employs rangers to rid the jungles of the snares and traps, giving the rangers

Boiseans gathered to mourn the mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla., June 12, which left more than 100 people either dead or injured.

shooting in United States history is tangible in every corner of America, including Boise. Boise Democratic Sen. Cherie Buckner-Webb broke into tears while addressing an interfaith prayer vigil on the steps of the Idaho Statehouse several hours after the shooting.

“I ask you to keep looking up and calling on that power greater than ourselves,” she said, her voice breaking into sobs. “I ask that greater power to stop the violence, to stop the hate.”

Fellow Boise Democratic Senator and Boise City Councilwoman Maryanne Jordan agreed that hate, particularly targeting the LGBT community, was at the centerpiece of the violence.

“It’s pretty clear that this was a hate crime,” Jordan told Boise Weekly at the vigil. “I worry that perhaps this is being portrayed as something else by those who seek to absolve themselves a bonus—the equivalent of 25 cents—for each trap they retrieve.

“And that’s when it hit me: 25 cents,” said Burns. “If Zoo Boise has learned anything over the years, we know that you can accomplish quite a bit with 25 cents.”

Every day this summer, teenagers who are part of the Zoo Teen volunteer program are fanning out across the zoo and sharing the story of the saola.

The teens carry a large wicker basket from which they pull out maps of the Laos/Vietnam region, rare photographs of the saola, and real traps and snares that have been pulled from the jungles.

“Visitors are quick to ask, ‘How can I help?’

Our answer is, ‘Would you like to give a quarter today to pull a snare out of the wild?’ We raised $2,500 last summer. That pulled out 10,000 snares,” said Burns. “The company that operates our food and gift concessions at the zoo, Service Systems Associates, just told us that they’ll match

from any responsibility by peddling this kind of hatred for many years.”

A few hours later at a separate rally on the steps of the Idaho Statehouse, Boise Rabbi Dan Fink linked the shooting to the same kind of hate that targeted Steven Nelson, a gay Nampa man who was robbed and beaten to death near Lake Lowell in late April.

“To believe that [the Orlando shooting] is unconnected to the death of Steven Nelson right here in our backyard is to be woefully ignorant and, at worst, profoundly evil,” said Fink.

Another faith leader, Renee McCall, pastor of Boise’s Liberating Spirit Metropolitan Community Church, told rally goers, “I can’t find the words to express how my heart hurts. This should not have happened in the United States, but it did.” all of those donations this summer. That could be $5,000.”

Robichaud said he was stunned when he heard about the Zoo Teen program and their conservation efforts focused on the saola.

“Who knows how many saola they might save?

I can’t wait to talk with these kids face-to-face,” said Robichaud, who will make a special trip to Boise to meet with the Zoo Teen team.

Burns said Robichaud’s visit will be “under the radar,” and the biologist wants to keep his trip low-key. That said, Burns tells anybody who will listen that the plight of the saola represents a clear and present danger.

“The natural world is in incredibly serious trouble. Most people have no idea. By 2050, it’s estimated that 30 percent of all mammals will be extinct, 45 percent of amphibians will be extinct, 15 percent of birds will be gone,” said Burns. “We think we can do better, and visitors to Zoo Boise apparently think so, too.”

What’s black-and-white and read all over? Boise Weekly’s annual Black-and-White Photo Contest, now celebrating its 14th year.

With some changes to the process this year, as we moved submissions and voting online, we pulled in a record 323 photos lovingly shot by their creators and carefully vetted not only by readers but a panel of expert judges including local photographers Patrick Sweeney and Laurie Pearman alongside Boise Weekly Art Director Kelsey Hawes.

The sheer number of entries guaranteed a wide variety of subject matter and style, from the concrete to the emphemeral, sometimes bordering on impressionistic. One thing was clear, however: BW shutterbugs have a knack for capturing the subtle beauty afforded by the medium. Thank you to all those who submitted work—it was a pleasure to see so many talented pieces in one place.

DELI DAYS: IDAHO’S JEWISH FESTIVAL

As Walter Sobchak says in The Big Lebowski, Judaism represents “2,000 years of beautiful tradition, from Moses to Sandy Koufax.” A big part of that tradition is available during Deli Days: Idaho’s Jewish Festival. Now in its 30th year, Deli Days returns with Kosher items shipped from the Bronx, including corned beef, pastrami, bagels, lox, knishes, sauerkraut, desserts and more.

Music will be provided by The Moody Jews, Fleet Street Klezmer Band, Seattle-based Josh Niehaus and Chava Mirel and more. No DD:IJF would be complete without a tour of the magnificent synagogue, built in 1896 and believed to be the oldest Jewish temple west of the Mississippi River to continuously host a congregation.

Thursday 11 a.m.-8 p.m.; Friday 11 a.m.-8 p.m.; FREE.Congregation Ahavath Beth Israel, 11 N. Latah St., 208-343-6601, facebook.com/delidaysboise.

SWELL ARTIST COLLECTIVE: DINO-SHOW

When a hotel goes up next to a hotel across the street from a hotel, it begs the questions, “What the hell?” But growth is good, something founders of new art gallery, Swell, would agree with.

“We want to enlarge the artist community,” said co-owner Kelly Knopp. The plan, Knopp said, is to hang a new group show of 25-30 local artists about every two months. He said Swell will include new artists, but the gallery’s mission is to display work by established artists who may not otherwise get much exposure. The upcoming group show will display work by artists who were prompted with one word: Dinosaurs. See work by Swell owners Knopp, Julia Green, Noble Hardesty and Stuart Holland along with Erin Cunningham, Jeremy Lanningham, Adam Rosenlund and more. It will be dino-mite!

THE SMITES—A SMITHS EXPERIENCE, JUNE 15

Mancunian rockers The Smiths didn’t spend much time on the stage—formed in 1982, they were history by ’87. They left a helluva mark in those five years, though, establishing themselves as arguably the most iconic English band of the decade.

Boise fans of The Smiths have a handy, local substitute in The Smites, a tribute band that has actually been performing longer than its near-namesakes ever did. With Steven Smite on guitars, Robby Smite on drums, Scot Smite on bass and Peter Smite on vocals and guitar, The Smites channel the sardonic, world weary vocals and jangly guitar work that typified the original.

The band’s full name is The Smites—A Smiths Experience, and it delivers. Catch the experience, featuring local New Wave/’80s cover band Popsicle as opener, and party like it’s 1989.

TRIGGER ITCH, JUNE 18, KNITTING FACTORY

The founders of 1332 Records intended for the name to be tongue-in-cheek: 1332. It’s twice the evil (666 x 2 = 1332). What they may not have intended but have certainly achieved was to found a label that maintained its commitment to raucous local music by releasing (and promoting) albums and booking (and promoting) shows. 1332 Records can put another notch on its accomplishment belt with the release of Radio Action, the third album from local rockers Trigger Itch. Play fast and loud enough, and a band can cover up a multitude of mistakes and sorely lacking skill set. Trigger Itch plays both fast and loud but not to hide anything.

The band is talented enough to pull off warp-speed guitar riffs and rhythms without sacrificing musicality, making tunes that are both listenable and head-bangable. Get a sound sample at reverbnation. com/triggeritch/songs.

The Radio Action celebration at Knitting Factory will be fast and loud, too, with Nude Oil, The Jerkwadz, Dogs in the Fight and Black Bolt opening. 1332 Records: More than twice the rock for your buck.

SCREEN HANDLED WITH CARE

Boise-born playwright Dano Madden behind New York City-based web series, Precious Cargo AMY ATKINS SYNOPSIS: A theater major/playwright from Boise heads to the Big Apple after graduation in search of opportunity. A decade later, he is married to an actress and the two of them have settled down in Hoboken, N.J. Their chosen professions are often not fiscally fruitful so they supplement their incomes, with “regular” jobs. As if juggling work and auditions wasn’t enough, our actress finds work tutoring children of the wealthy and has to deal with neurotic parents and their progeny, while finding ways to cope with her own family.

Precious Cargo centers on the niche livelihood and lifestyle of two tutoring sisters, but it’s charming and engaging.

half the length of a feature film. In the middle of it, we realized we were doing a pretty large project. We thought it was going to be smaller, but there ended up being ... a lot of hours and a lot of work.”

No matter the cost, Madden and co. weren’t willing to forgo quality.

“Our goal was to make sure Precious Cargo was of a professional caliber,” Madden said.

The only way to get that quality was to have quality people on board, like director/executive producer Ben Simington, who worked in independent film distribution at Zeitgeist Films; director of photography Alex Peterson, the man behind Sundance Institute Award-winning documentary Man in the Maze; and editor Nathan Allen, who has worked on TV shows Glee, Nip/Tuck and Rizzoli & Isles.

The Cargo team also included actors Robert Prescott (Michael Clayton), Peyton Ella (The Sound of Music Live, The Late Show) and Dana Jacks (The Blacklist, The Newsroom).

Precious Cargo is centered on the rather niche livelihood and lifestyle of two tutoring sisters, but it’s charming and engaging.

The quality, dialogue and acting—Singerman’s in particular—bring a depth of character that transcends the unfamiliarity and makes a connection easy for any viewer who has ever had a job, a dream or a family—so, pretty much everyone.

Although getting Precious Cargo to the other small screen took a little more than Madden might have anticipated, it was worth it.

“It has been a big time investment, but the payoff has been good.”

Tickets Available at: www.mountainvillage.com or at the gate.

Heather Cox is at the top of her game—and everyone else’s. She is a premier network sports reporter and analyst, broadcasting from highprofile matches and quizzing the planet’s elite athletes and coaches. Viewers know her best as the ABC/ESPN sideline reporter at NBA and WNBA college basketball broadcasts, and as the go-to sideline reporter of ABC’s primetime NCAA college football game of the week. Cox has one scoop she can’t share, however… at least not yet. The Internet is abuzz with rumors about a major deal she is about to ink with another network—after being with ESPN for 22 years—but when asked about it, she just smiles.

Anyone who thinks Cox isn’t one of the toughest interviewers in her business isn’t paying attention. Between assignments, she sat down with Boise Weekly to talk about sports, what’s on her bucket list and why she, along with her husband and children, call Boise home.

How often do you and your family reevaluate your choice to live in Boise?

Never. We want to be here forever.

When did you make that choice?

My husband, Bill, owns his public relations business and he can do that from anywhere. As long as I’m near an airport, I can be anywhere.

How many days do you spend on the road?

You’ll laugh, but I refuse to keep track. I could figure it out pretty quickly, but I don’t.

Give me a sense of your schedule during college football season.

Travel arrangements on Sunday. Monday, it’s a production team conference call. Tuesday and Wednesday, we focus on the away team’s coaches and top players. I spend most of the day travelling on Thursday. We’re focusing on the home team—coaches and players—all day on Friday.

We have a bigger production team meeting Saturday morning, we’re at the stadium by 4 p.m., then there’s the primetime broadcast and I’m traveling back home on Sunday.

I would be remiss if I didn’t ask about the man who’s up in the broadcast booth during most of those games: Mike Tirico. [He recently announced he would be joining

24 | JUNE 15–21, 2016 | BOISEweekly

NBC as the play-by-play man for Thursday Night Football.]

As perfect a broadcaster as there is.

He’s one of the few men who comes across as sincerely genuine during a broadcast.

You’ll be happy to know that’s how he is in person.

I’d like to name a few high-profile athletes and coaches and get your insights. Let’s start with Kobe Bryant [retired L.A. Lakers superstar].

He has the most incredible work ethic of any athlete I’ve ever seen.

Gregg Popovich [the San Antonio Spurs basketball coach who has a penchant for being difficult with courtside reporters].

Many of those interviews have not been my favorite part of our interactions. He’s the most interesting, smart, man and he’s undoubtedly great at his job—but I think some of those interviews we do are, at times, disrespectful. He thinks we intrude on his focus, and he doesn’t like it.

Nick Saban [the University of Alabama head football coach, also known for prickly sideline interviews].

He’s incredibly generous with information off camera, but you don’t see that on camera. He’s like Popovich, seeing interviews as a distraction.

What’s on your professional bucket list?

I’m very content. I’ve reported from three Olympics, multiple national championships and the highest events in my profession.

But if you had your druthers…

I would love to report from the Super Bowl and possibly some golf broadcasts from some lovely places—my husband would love that. And always more Olympic games.

How about your personal bucket list?

Don’t laugh. I want a vegetable garden and a chicken coop.

Lucky for you, that is allowed in Boise city limits.

You’ve got to love Boise.

BEERGUZZLER CLASSIC AMERICAN IPAS

India Pale Ales originated in Britain, designed for export to the Jewel in the Crown. A healthy dose of hops was added as a preservative to protect against the long voyage. The resulting bit of bitterness proved popular. But lately, American brewers have been pushing the envelope when it comes to International Bitterness Units. It can be a bit overwhelming. Here are three ales that harken back to a kinder, gentler, classic IPA style.

FIRESTONE WALKER UNION JACK IPA, $2$2.40 A bright copper tinged pour with a decent head and fine lacing, smooth hops lead off on the nose. That’s backed by notes of citrus, pine and sweet bread. Exceptionally smooth on the palate, the mild hops are present throughout, adding a nice hit of bitterness to the finish.

Touches of apricot, pine and orange zest add interest. Flat out delicious.

MOTHER EARTH BREW CO. BOO KOO INDIA PALE ALE, $1.60-$1.90 This San Diego brewery is opening a second location in Nampa. Their Boo Koo pours a bright gold with a persistent, creamy white head. The aromas are dominated by resiny hops with some grapefruit coming through as well. Nice, not too bitter hops up front; a sweet malt middle; and a dry finish. What’s not to like?

Treat your Dad this Father’s Day

Father’s Day Weekend Special (17th-19th) • Surf & Turf Salad • Grilled tenderloin steak & prawn in lemongrass-lime dressing • Dessert - chocolate mousse cake Make your reservation now at 208-884-0701 Happy Hour 5-7pm • Carry out available 1890 E. Fairview Ave., Meridian, ID • sawaddeethai.com

WORTHY BREWING IPA, $1.60-$1.90 It’s a slightly hazy brass color in the glass with a decent head and a touch of caramel on the nose along with tropical fruit and soft, floral hops.

A well balanced brew, it tastes a lot like it smells.

You get creamy malt, subtle pine and gritty hops that linger on the finish. Definitely a worthy ale from this Bend-based brewery.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): The coming months will be a favorable time to boost your skills as a cagey warrior. I don’t mean you should push people around and get into lots of fights. Rather, the goal is for you to harness your aggressiveness constructively and to wield your willpower with maximum grace. In the face of fear, you will not just be brave, but brave and crafty. You’ll refrain from forcing storylines to unfold before they’re ready, and you’ll rely on strategy and good timing instead of brute strength and the decree “Because I said so.”

Now study this counsel from the ancient Chinese statesman Zhuge Liang, also known as Crouching Dragon: “The wise win before they fight, while the ignorant fight to win.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Everything you do in the coming days should be imbued with the intention of enhancing the Flow.

It’s high time to identify where the energy is stuck, and then get it unstuck. You have a sacred mandate to relieve the congestion... to relax the tweaks... to unravel the snarls if you can, or simply cut through them if necessary.

You don’t need to tell anyone about your secret agenda. Just go about your business with zealous diligence and unflagging purpose.

If it takes more effort than you wished, so be it. If your progress

seems maddeningly gradual, keep the faith.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): My long-term predictions for the next 15 months are a blend of hopeful optimism and a reasonable interpretation of the astrological omens. Here we go: 1. You will have an excellent chance to smooth and soothe the rough spots in your romantic karma. 2. You will outgrow any addiction you might have to frustrating connections.

3. Unrequited love will either be requited, or else you’ll become bored with the futile chase and move on. 4. You’ll be challenged to either refresh and reinvent an existing intimacy, or else get shrewd enough not to repeat past mistakes in a new intimacy. 5. You will have an abundance of good ideas about how to install the theme of smart fun at the heart of your strongest alliances.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Author Courttia Newland quotes the pre-Socratic philosopher Meno: “How will you go about finding the thing the nature of which is totally unknown to you?” In response to this riddle, Newland riffs on what it means to him: “Even more important than the journey itself, is the venture into the unknowable. The ability to find comfort moving forwards without quite knowing where you are going.” I nominate these to be your words to live by in the com-

28 | JUNE 15–21, 2016 | BOISEweekly

ing days, Cancerian. Have openhearted fun as you go in search of mysterious and impossible secrets!

I’m confident you will track them down—especially if you’re willing to be lost.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your homework is to write a story about the life you’re going to live between now and next April. The length of this predictive tale should be at least three pages, although it’s fine if you produce more. Here are some meditations to lubricate the flow of your imagination. 1.

What three questions would you love to have answered during the next 42 weeks? 2. Of the numerous adventures that might be fun to explore, which are the two that would be most consistently energizing? 3. What is the one thing you’d most like to change about your attitude or revamp about your life?

4. What new privilege will you have earned by April 2017?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): According to an old Chinese proverb, if you want to get rich, you must have a nickname. My meditations on your future suggest that this curious formula may have some validity. The next 15 months will be a favorable time to attend to the groundwork that will ultimately increase your wealth. And your luck in doing this work is likely to be oddly good if you add a frisky tweak to your identity—such as a

zesty new nickname, for example. I suggest you stay away from clichés like Ace or Vixen or Sharpie, as well as off-putting ironic monikers like Poker Face and Stonewall. Instead, gravitate toward lively choices like Dazzler, FluxLuster, HoochieCoochie or FreeBorn.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): During the next 15 months, you will have an unprecedented chance to materialize a fantasy you’ve harbored for years. Essential to your efforts will be a capacity to summon more ambition than you ever have before. I’m not talking about the grubby self-promotion that typically passes for ambition, however.

Arrogant self-importance and selfish posturing will not be part of your winning formula. Rather, the kind of ambition I’m referring to is a soaring aspiration that seeks the best and highest not just for yourself but for everyone whose life you touch.

I mean the holy hunger that drives you to express impeccable integrity as you seek to master the tasks you came to Earth to accomplish.

Get started!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): During the next 15 months, composting should be a primary practice, as well as a main metaphor.

If you have been lazy about saving leftover scraps from your kitchen and turning them into fertilizer, now is an excellent time to intensify your efforts. The same is true if you

have been lax about transforming your pain into useful lessons that invigorate your lust for life. Be everalert for opportunities to capitalize on junk, muck and slop. Find secret joy in creating unexpected treasure out of old failures and wrong turns.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Have you ever made a fool of yourself while trying to fulfill your deepest yearnings? I hope so. If you haven’t, your yearnings probably aren’t deep enough. Most of us, on multiple occasions, have pursued our longings for connection with such unruly intensity that we have made foggy decisions and engaged in questionable behavior. That’s the weird news. The good news is that now and then, the impulse to leave our safety zone in a quest to quench our deepest yearnings can actually make us smarter and more effective. I believe this is one of those times for you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): During the next 13 months, what can you do to enhance your ability to be the boss of yourself? What practices can you engage in on a daily basis that will build your potency and authority and clout?

How can you gain access to more of the helpers and resources you need to carry out your life’s master plan? These are excellent questions to ask yourself every day between now and July 2017. It’s time to find or create your ultimate power spot.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The prison population in the United States exceeds 2 million, more than twice what it was in 1990. In contrast, Canada keeps about 41,000 people in jail, Italy 52,000 and France 66,000. That’s the bad news. The good news, at least for you and your tribe, is that a relatively small percentage of you will be incarcerated during the next 15 months. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, Aquarians all over the world will specialize in liberation. Not only will you be extra ethical; not only will you be skillful at evading traps; you will also be adept at emancipating yourself from your own delusions and limitations. Congratulations in advance! It’s time to start singing some new freedom songs.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The English word “catharsis” is derived from the ancient Greek katharsis, which was a technical medical term that meant “purgation” or “purification,” as in flushing out the bowels. Aristotle converted katharsis into a metaphor that described how a drama performed in the theater could “clean out” the emotions of spectators. These days, catharsis may refer to any event that precipitates a psycho-spiritual renewal by building up and then releasing tension.

I foresee at least one of these strenuous blessings in your immediate future.

#boiseweeklypic

FIND NBA PRIDE APPAREL

Advice for those on the verge

MY DARLING READERS,

This week I stray from my normal format to celebrate a milestone for me and “Minerva’s Breakdown.” On May 13, 2016, I hit my one-year anniversary of writing this advice column for the Boise Weekly. I waited until now, a month later, to write this because June is Pride month. I did that because I have found a great deal of pride in writing this column. When I endeavored to begin “Minerva’s Breakdown,” I was so excited because I had always wanted a platform to share opinions in a fun way while helping others. This column brings me so much professional pride that I am sometimes overwhelmed with joy that I get to do this. When I address issues that are off-color or just colorful, incredibly intimate or tragically sad, I know that I am doing my best to be a supportive person to others in my community. I can’t believe that this opinionated blonde bombshell from little ol’ Emmett, Idaho has this opportunity. I am so proud that I get to do this and so humbled that I have been given the chance.

So to all of my readers, THANK YOU for letting me come into your lives each week. I renew my pledge to you to always take your questions and topics seriously while adding a dash of humor, and answer every one of them with integrity, respect and in a well-informed manner. It is a pleasure and honor to have your trust and your readership.

Love and Kisses, —Minerva Jayne

SUBMIT questions to Minerva’s Breakdown at bit.ly/MinervasBreakdown or mail them to Boise Weekly, 523 Broad St., Boise, ID 83702. All submissions remain anonymous.

Are you a fan of professional basketball? Also a fan of LGBT equality?

Wear your love of sports and essential human rights on your sleeve (or chest, more accurately), with a T-shirt emblazoned with your favorite NBA team’s logo cast in the rainbow colors of Pride.

Launched on June 7 to honor Pride Month, the shirts are exclusively available through Teespring and were officially sanctioned by the National Basketball Association—the first time a men’s pro sports league has ever given the greenlight for apparel that supports LGBT pride.

All 30 teams are represented in the clothing line, and—super big bonus—all proceeds go to the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, which partnered with the NBA $24.95, teespring.com to introduce the shirts. GLSEN, a national policy group, focuses on inclusion and respect outreach at K-12 schools around the country.

If basketball’s not your thing, you can also purchase LGBT pride accessories released by select Major League Baseball and National Hockey League teams from apparel company ‘47 (47brand.com).

As Eliza Byard told Outsports: “Professional sports showing up for LGBT people is one of the biggest cultural developments of the last decade.” That’s something to cheer about.
