EDITOR’S NOTE WORDS, DEEDS, CREEPS AND EATS Being in the word biz, we have particular affection for libraries at Boise Weekly—and the City of Trees is about to get another bibliotheque. The Bown branch of the Boise library system is finally coming to fruition, and BW News Editor George Prentice took a tour of the construction site to get the inside scoop on exactly how a library comes into being. Find his report on Page 7. Speaking of words, on Page 8, BW intern Taryn Hadfield quizzed a handful of Idaho scholars on the deeper meaning of plagiarism, teeing off from the hubbub surrounding a speech delivered by wife of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, Melania, parts of which she apparently cribbed from an address by first lady Michelle Obama in 2008. To borrow a phrase, cheaters never prosper—in the classroom or at the dais. Switching from words to deeds, another BW intern, Taylor Turney, checked in with a Boise gym helping train the Olympians of the future—and when we say it’s never too early to start training, we’re not kidding. Kids as young as 15 months old are building the skills that could land them on the podium. In another jump, this time from deeds to creeps, Prentice put on his film critic hat for a screening of Woody Allen’s latest nostalgia-laden comedy of errors Cafe Society. While it’s a visually sumptuous and dramatically satisfying experience, Allen’s own fraught history of sex abuse allegations and general fixation on age-inappropriate romance (not to mention fascination with nearincest) makes it near impossible to divorce the man from his work. Moving from creeps to eats, Hadfield made a literal pit stop at Cutter’s Grand BBQ to find out what it takes to run a bona fide pit-style pop-up ’cue operation. Spoiler: It requires sleeping in a camper and waking up every few hours to stoke the fires. Finally—and this may be burying the lead a little—inside this week’s edition, you’ll find a glossy magazine tucked between the pages. What’s that? It’s the Annual Manual, your guide to “life, the Treasure Valley and everything.” That said, we can’t promise it will solve all your existential dilemmas, but it will inform and entertain. Guaranteed. —Zach Hagadone

Days prior to Justice Antonin Scalia’s passing on Feb. 13, Ammon Bundy and fellow militia leaders were forced to end their siege of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Harney County, Ore. In spite of sincere desires to stand against perceived federal government tyranny, televised images of Bundy and friends revealed them a tad under-prepared. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un thinks it sheer folly to assume one can deter U.S. military might with the handheld weapons these men carried. Kim thinks nothing short of a robust nuclear arsenal will do. Assuming Kim is correct, does the celebrated Justice Scalia’s District of Columbia v. Heller jurisprudence justify a right to keep a nuclear bomb stored in one’s basement? This should sound like an absurd question, but the most celebrated sections of Scalia’s Heller opinion, establishing a natural-law right to bear arms, actually answer this absurdity with a resounding “yes.” However, before rushing off to peruse weekend specials on nuclear bombs in Jane’s Defense Weekly, read the rest of the opinion. In his final sections, Scalia’s robust commitment to an individual right to bear arms virtually evaporates. He is not the strong advocate for gun rights he is made out to be. Scalia starts his Section III by stating that no right is absolute. He then provides a major setback to gun-rights enthusiasts by establishing potentially broad-reaching criteria for limiting the reach of Second Amendment protections: “We also recognize another important limitation on the right to keep and carry arms. Miller said … that the sorts of weapons protected were those ‘in common use at the time.’… We think that limitation is fairly supported by the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of ‘dangerous and unusual weapons.’” Though Scalia does not outright state only those weapons in common use at the time of the founding are protected, and though he eventually declares the District of Columbia’s ban on possessing handguns in the home unconstitutional, by committing the Supreme Court to the “dangerous and unusual” standard, Scalia opens the door for future courts to restrict the possession of many weapons, perhaps even handguns in the home. Just as the Supreme Court eventually ruled racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional, under Scalia’s precedent, future courts may determine handguns are not protected by the Second Amendment. All that is necessary to satisfy Scalia’s criteria is to demonstrate that handguns are indeed “dangerous.” Scalia further frustrates gun-rights advocates by supporting federal authority to restrict firearms from felons (Ammon Bundy and other

members of his militia face felony charges—if found guilty, Scalia’s opinion supports stripping them of all rights to bear any arms) as well as allowing for broad restrictions for carrying arms. Fully aware that the Constitution’s Commerce Clause has been used to aggressively expand congressional authority, Scalia still condones federal authority over the commercial sale of weapons: “Although we do not undertake an exhaustive historical analysis today of the full scope of the Second Amendment, nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons … or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.” These are perplexing words for those arguing Scalia created a strong precedent protecting an individual right to bear arms. Heller actually supports federal authority to end the sale of weapons altogether through strict commercial regulations. Perhaps the only weapons that fully survive Scalia’s Second Amendment jurisprudence are nondangerous weapons of the homemade variety. It is further significant that after establishing the primary purpose for adopting the Second Amendment was to ensure against federal tyranny—Ammon Bundy’s precise cause—Scalia implies that advances in technology necessitate the nullification of its original purpose. Private citizens would need a right to the same weapons the government has in order to successfully deter government tyranny, Scalia reasons. What’s more, he concludes, such a ruling would be absurd. Nuclear bombs are definitely out of the question. Finally, Scalia uses Heller to emphasize Second Amendment restrictions on gun rights only apply to Congress and not to state governments. In a later opinion, McDonald v. City of Chicago, Scalia buckles and joins Justice Samuel Alito in determining the Second Amendment actually does apply to state governments; but, in Heller, Scalia remains true to his “states’ rights” stance. In sum, though Scalia does establish an individual right to bear arms, he leaves it a rather vague right. Ironically—and perhaps most telling, given his cry that Supreme Court justices avoid making law—Scalia’s ultimate precedent is the empowering of future justices to determine the law on more important gun rights questions.

Boise prepares for the muchanticipated Bown branch

AIRING OUT

GEORGE PRENTICE Think of the opening day of a new Boise library branch like Black Friday—a holiday-like feeling accompanied by a mad dash for everything new. “I remember opening the library of the Cole and Ustick neighborhood branch [in 2009] as if it were yesterday,” said Kathleen Stalder, Boise Library Acquisition and Technical Services supervisor. “Just before we opened the doors, everything was new and looked amazing.” While city officials fully expected the latest jewel in the crown of Boise’s library branches to be a success, they were pleasantly surprised but a bit stunned as they watched patrons with armsfull of books heading to the check-out desk. “Half of the collection was gone in a day or two,” said Stalder, a 10-year veteran of the library. “That opening was rather staggering.” The 2009 branch opening will likely be dwarfed by the much-anticipated 2017 debut of the Bown Crossing branch, the fourth satellite library to open since the Boise City Council approved a branch library network in 2007. “Are we anticipating an extremely popular grand opening when we swing the doors open at Bown Crossing? Oh, yes,” said Boise Library System Director Kevin Booe, about to celebrate his 36th year with the library. “Take the Hillcrest branch [opened in 2008]. About 4,000 people per week walk through those doors, as much traffic as the nearby Albertsons. The Bown location could easily be just as popular.” First, there’s the matter of getting it built. “Welcome. Let me show you around, but watch your step,” shouted Bruce Steinwinter, superintendent with Boise-based Construction Managers General Contractors, the man overseeing construction of the Bown branch. “This build-out is unlike any branch you’ve seen.” Steinwinter’s arms stretched wide as he pointed to nearly every one of the soon-to-be-completed walls, which will feature giant panes of tempered glass showcasing the nearby Boise Foothills and trendy southeast Boise neighborhood. While much of the site is currently a frame of steel girders, Steinwinter pointed to spots where BOISE WEEKLY.COM

the main lending area, outside patio and even a grand-scale fireplace will soon appear. “Fireplaces were a fixture in all of the original Carnegie libraries,” said Booe, referring to the nation’s first lending institutions, many of them donated by philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. Idaho’s first lending library, also funded by Carnegie, was built on Washington Street in Boise in 1905. “All of the focus groups we talked to in Boise told us, ‘Please put a fireplace in the Bown library.’ We’re going back to the future,” Booe said. As for the immediate future, Rob Bousfield, assistant city engineer with the Boise Public Works Department, is acting as project manager for the Bown branch construction. “At any given time, I’m working on several projects at various stages of development—the new fire stations or the redesign of the City Hall plaza. Don’t tell anyone, but…” said Bousfield, taking a long pause and breaking into a big grin, “the Bown project is my favorite. What can I say? I’m a book guy. Plus, my family lives in southeast Boise. So, I’m excited on a personal level.” The idea of the Bown project dates back almost as far back as the 2004 concept of creating branches. Some concept designs were drawn up in 2010. But then the recession waylaid just about every major Boise project. It wasn’t until January 2015 that city officials gave the green light to jump-start the design process again with construction originally scheduled to being in late 2015. “But some initial bids from contractors came in a little high. We worked with them for a while to bring those costs down and we eventually started digging in mid-December,” said Brousfield. “But then we ran into another hiccup with the new type of roofing system that we’ll be using—it’s a cross-laminated timber that looks

great but has very specific dimensions. The bottom line now is that we’ll probably be opening in March 2017.” Total construction costs for the Bown Crossing Branch Library will be $6.2 million. But that’s just for the building and amenities. You can’t truly “build” a library without materials, and the Bown branch will have some of the best—certainly the newest—on opening day. “That contract for our opening day collection is $585,000,” said Stalder, referring to the tens of thousands of books, DVDs, CDs and other materials that will fill the shelves of the new branch when it opens. “We secured the contract with Ingram Library Services.” Tennessee-based Ingram will curate the entire new collection for the Bown branch, based on considerable data that has been sent from the Boise Library. That includes key demographics and specific desires for the southeast Boise neighborhoods that will routinely access the Bown branch. “Generally, libraries skew about 60 percent to 40 percent, adults to youth. But for the Bown branch, we’ll be closer to 50/50, based on the fact that there are so many families in that area and that we’ll be operating right next to a school,” said Stalder, referring to Riverside Elementary School, which is so close to the new branch they’ll share vehicle access points. When the books arrive in a massive shipment from Tennessee in early 2017 they’ll be ready for shelving—Ingram will have already sorted and coded each book in the order they’ll be displayed on the Bown shelves. “It will take us about three weeks to get all the shelves filled,” said Stalder, “and then the fun begins. So, look out for those crowds on opening day. But rest assured, we’ll be ready.”

Triple-digit temperatures and unstable weather conditions continue to trigger an increasing number of wildfires throughout the Intermountain West. While nearly everyone agrees those wildfires have given rise to unhealthy air quality, environmental experts part ways on whether those wildfires should even be included when measuring air pollution. Officials with the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality insist most wildfires are “out of human control” and, therefore, are often excluded from the department’s air quality measurements. But DEQ’s tack has some environmental advocates perplexed. “The state is suggesting that wildfires are an excuse for bad air,” said Bryan Hurlbutt, attorney for Advocates of the West and an Idaho Conservation League partner. Courtney Washburn, executive director of Conservation Voters for Idaho, echoed Hurlbutt’s concern over DEQ’s omission of wildfires from air quality data, adding that regulatory agencies often see wildfire-triggered pollution through a different lens. “It’s not like automobile emissions, where we know where the emissions are coming from and what that amount is—you’re just not able to plan for fires that way,” Washburn said. “That said, I absolutely think policies and procedures can be put in place to reduce, particularly, human-caused wildfires.” The most recent example is the Mile Marker 14 fire, which as of press time had consumed more than 3,500 acres east of Boise. Investigators were quick to conclude the blaze was human-caused. Prior to that, the Table Rock fire—sparked by illegal fireworks in early July—scorched 2,500 acres of the Boise Foothills. Bruce Louks, Modeling, Monitoring and Emission Inventory Program manager for DEQ, explained the process of submitting air quality data to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. “There is a process whereby data is impacted by wildfire smoke that can be excluded from attainment designation decisions,” he said. “The data doesn’t 8 really go away, it’s just not used in calculating the design value, which BOISEweekly c JULY 27 – AUGUST 2, 2016 c 7

research library, Bicknell-Holmes spends many of her days consulting with university department heads and faculty on detecting plagiarism. She defines plagiarism as “taking concepts and presenting as your own,” saying it cannot be measured alone by algorithms or the number of words in a row, but how the information was used. “Just where exactly the line is between plagiarism and sharing similarities is abstract and vague,” she said. “Detecting plagiarism is much more abstract than people think.”

determines compliance. There’s a process where once we submit the 7 data to the EPA, they must read it though and have to agree with our documentation.” Hurlbutt’s and Washburn’s organizations filed a petition with the EPA in 2015, calling for the feds to declare the Treasure Valley a nonattainment area—a designation that would launch a long process to bring Ada and Canyon counties back into compliance with national standards. While the EPA has yet to respond to the petition, with the omission of wildfire data from the Treasure Valley’s air quality figures it is unlikely the region would meet the conditions necessary to result in a nonattainment designation. Put another way, the region’s air quality looks better on paper than it actually is. In 2013, Ada County was ranked fourth in the nation for its amount of “particulate matter 2.5” in a 24-hour period, higher even than Los Angeles and Sacramento, Calif. The EPA requires the level of PM 2.5—defined as pollutants emitted from sources like car exhaust and smoke—to be lower than 35 micrograms per cubic meter in a 24-hour period. In 2013, the Treasure Valley hit 89. Louks said DEQ will base its recommendations for attainment on more recent numbers, adding the high numbers in 2013 were an “extremely rare and extraordinary event.” Still, as Treasure Valley residents continue to cope with air quality compromised by both natural and human-caused wildfire, Washburn and Hurlbutt said they’re anxious for a response to their petition from EPA. “If we don’t get a response, we might look into legal action,” said Hurlbutt, adding that the goal of seeing the Treasure Valley labeled a nonattainment area is that such a process would ignite a conversation among community leaders, with particular emphasis on reducing human-caused fires. “Human-caused fires can be a part of that full assessment,” he said. “The way the regulation currently is, without the attainment process, we really don’t have a mechanism for communities to start looking at what’s happening in the air.”

When Republicans nominated Donald Trump to be the party’s presidential candidate at their national convention in Cleveland July 19, they were also casting ballots for the business tycoon’s wife, Melania, to serve as first lady. Her first major speech to party faithful made headlines, but not the kind she or her husband planned for, when it became apparent Mrs. Trump lifted chunks of her address from a speech delivered at the 2008 Democratic National Convention by current first lady Michelle Obama. Idaho educators called Melania Trump’s speech a “teachable moment” for plagiarism, drawing attention to how complex and far-reaching the issue has become. The incident also underscores the political implications of playing fast and loose with the rules of intellectual honesty. “Plagiarism in the political setting further normalizes lying and fraud in the contest for political power in our civil society,” said Steve Maughan, the Bernie McCain chair in the Humanities at the College of Idaho. Maughan, a history professor with a Ph.D. from Harvard University, teaches first-year undergrads and often has to check his students’ papers for instances of plagiarism. When asked whether he believed Trump’s speech was plagiarized, Maughan looked at the situation as if it had happened in one of his classes. Maughan said he found a 23-word match between the speeches, other matching runs of five and seven words, and about a 50 percent vocabulary match on a few select passages. “I would fail a paper with this level of plagiarism,” he said. “The simple fact is that this level of copy and pasting is astronomically unlikely to be coincidence, at the level of billion to one statistics.” Tracy Bicknell-Holmes, dean of the Albertson Library at Boise State University, emphasized the opportunity presented by the lifted speech. “We can take Melania’s speech as a teachable moment, a chance to sit down with students and talk about how they use information,” she said. Melania Trump was perhaps uniquely positioned for the mountains of scorn heaped on her in the 48 hours following her speech. “Melania has always had this image of a trophy wife, eye candy and Barbie doll to me,” said Bicknell-Holmes. “[Her speech] was an opportunity on the national stage to put out a new image. It was disappointing and, honestly, really sad.” In addition to overseeing Boise State’s main

Bicknell-Holmes said plagiarism has increased markedly in recent years, in part due to advancing technology and ease of access to information. Add to that the stresses placed on students, and she said it can be “so tempting” to copy from the Internet, whether accidentally or deliberately. “In my days, we would just close the book and write in our own words,” said Bicknell-Holmes. “Now you can just hit copy and paste.” Plagiarism is not only a growing issue in academic and professional settings, pop culture experiences its own share of stolen ideas. BicknellHolmes said “pop culture encourages mash-ups” and noted the rise of plagiarism lawsuits in music, pointing to the legal action against Led Zeppelin for a chord progression in “Stairway to Heaven.” “The line is very murky,” said Bicknell-

Holmes. “When looking at whether or not to give credit, we have to keep on returning to the question, ‘Is it common knowledge?’” Dr. Hassel Morrison, associate dean of students at the University of Idaho, addresses that same question when he works on cases of academic dishonesty at the Moscow campus. When asked about the Trump plagiarism scandal, he said there have been many common “shared” themes and ideas in political speeches. “What we think of as ‘new ideas’ have been done before,” he said. “I’ll talk to my uncles and aunts [about speeches] and they’ll say, ‘That’s not new; we saw it in 1950.’” Nonetheless, Morrison said the ethical line is drawn when credit is not given to the original author or speaker. “If people wanted to use prior speeches, there is always a way to use it,” he said. “When you break it down, I could definitely see how people said, ‘[Trump] copied.’ But when an individual is in that certain role, that spotlight, you are subjected to a heightened level of criticism.” Melania Trump is certainly not the first national political actor to face accusations of plagiarism. When current Vice President Joe Biden ran for the 1988 Democratic presidential nomination, his campaign was derailed after he faced accusations of plagiarizing a speech delivered in 1987 by Neil Kinnock, leader of the British Labour Party. For Morrison, the act of committing plagiarism goes back to a question of ethics and integrity. He said he believes there needs to be greater responsibility in K-12 schooling and by parenting, instilling the idea that you “don’t take things that aren’t yours” at a young age. Bicknell-Holmes said she often sees the implications of plagiarism downplayed by parents and students alike. When consulting on cases of academic dishonesty, she often comes across students who respond, “So what?” “I always tell them, ‘This is the one thing you have control over. You are the only one who can ensure you keep your integrity, being honest with others and honest with yourself,” she said. Maughan said he’ll be using Trump’s speech as an example for his future students. “Smears, aspersions, insinuations, outright lies: perhaps plagiarism will become just another tool in [Trump’s] toolkit,” said Maughan. “But I will still fail undergraduates for plagiarism, and I will show them this episode in class as an example of what they cannot do.” BOISE WEEKLY.COM

The Community Library Ketchum, 415 Spruce Ave., Ketchum, 208726-3493, comlib.org.

HUNG LUI: DRIFTERS—Hung Lui’s paintings and prints can be seen as critiques of the rigid academicism of the Chinese Socialist Realist style in which she was trained, as well as metaphors for the loss of historical memory. 9 a.m.-5 p.m. FREE.

Boise Art Museum, 670 Julia Davis Drive, Boise, 208-345-8330, boiseartmuseum.org.

JANE ROSEN: H IS FOR...—Jane Rosen’s talent is in finding the shadows of things, the soft sepia tones of birds and mammals, the quiet and penetrating turn of a beak or gaze of a feral eye. Rosen’s sculptures are evocative, less precise renditions of similar subject matter, and she pays as much attention to the material as to the shapes she forms with it. 9 a.m.-5 p.m. FREE. Gail Severn Gallery, 400 First Ave. N., Ketchum, 208-7265079, gailseverngallery.com.

ROBB PUTNAM SOLO EXHIBITION—Robb Putnam builds animal forms with cast off blankets, shirts, fake fur, rags, thread, plastic garbage bags, leather scraps and glue. These sculptures evoke playful, whimsical characters found in children’s books, but his characters are something different: they are physically and psychologically vulnerable and seem like overgrown stuffed toys or imaginary friends—misﬁts whose demeanors both invite and possibly repel. Like craft projects gone awry, their surfaces suggest that the skins of these beings have been torn away, exposing their soft insides. Through Aug. 1. 9 a.m.-5 p.m. FREE.

SAN INAZIO FESTIVAL

ART IN THE BAR 12

BOISE’S FUNNIEST PERSON

The San Inazio Festival has ﬁlled the Basque Block with thousands of revelers for more than 50 years. The celebration gets under way Friday, July 29 with the “Friends and Family Night” where celebrants bring their favorite pintxos (appetizers). Throughout much of the evening pala (similar to racquetball) will be played at the Fronton at 619 Grove Street, but partiers like to stay cool inside the Basque Center where the pala games are televised. Saturday, July 30 is packed with street performances, including the adorable Boiseko Gazteak Dancers (ages 3-14). The music, food and drink continues into the evening. A special San Inazio Mass at St. John’s Cathedral will also be held Saturday evening. The merriment returns to the Basque Block on Sunday, July 31 until revelers crawl home and dream about next year’s festival. Basque Block, Grove Street between Capitol Boulevard and Sixth Street, 208-342-9983, basquecenter.com.

A cold adult beverage on a hot summer day? Check. Supporting the local art scene? Check. It must be Art in the Bar. The Saturday, July 30 affair will be the 12th such showcase of 50 of Boise’s most creative artists—paintings, sculpture, digital media… you name it—some who have participated since the beginning and others who are newcomers. Launched in 2010, Art in the Bar was the brainchild of former Dead Bird Gallery co-owners Wayne Crans and Ellen DeAngelis (the latter is currently Boise Weekly’s classiﬁeds manager-extraordinaire). After approaching the Knitting Factory about turning the showplace into a makeshift gallery, Crans and DeAngelis have seen the event grow in scope and popularity—some years have included as many as three AITBs. And why not? Art and bars are a perfect match. Noon-8 p.m., Knitting Factory, 416 S. Ninth St,, 208-367-1212, bo.knittingfactory.com.

Standup comedy is good work if you can get it, but to get it you have to be good. Boise’s Funniest Person gives amateurs a shot at the limelight—and a fistful of cash—during a monthlong series of head-to-head joke-offs, judged by a panel of local aficionados of funny and voted on by the audience. Starting with 20 would-be comics, contestants were paired with coaches—all local professional standup comics—then winnowed down to the final five for the big show on Saturday, July 30. The finals are always packed to the rafters as the field reduced to the last comic standing. The grand prize winner grabs $1,000, a headlining set at Liquid Laughs and the coveted title of Boise’s Funniest Person. It might be funny, but it’s serious business. 8 p.m., $10, Liquid Lounge, 405 S. Eighth St., 208-941-2459, liquidboise.com.

WILD PLUM RAMEN POP-UP While so many journalists find work in PR firms after leaving news media, former Boise Weekly Arts and Entertainment Editor Tara Morgan found her calling (and her husband) in food. Several months ago, Morgan, a longtime foodie and an editor at Edible Idaho; and her husband, skilled chef Alex Cardoza, opened a food truck—but Wild Plum Events and Eats is more than a mobile eatery, it’s a “boutique catering and event planning company.” Being able to park a full-service catering truck at a wedding, shower, holiday party, conference or other gathering means Wild Plum can provide freshly prepared dishes without requiring the use of a host’s facilities. In addition, Cardoza uses high-quality, locally sourced seasonal ingredients in menu items that are innovative and interesting (and delicious) without being pretentious. Unlike a lot of food trucks, Wild Plum doesn’t follow the festival circuit, but Morgan and Cardoza aren’t afraid to be as creative with their truck as they are with their food—case in point, their upcoming Wild Plum Ramen Pop-Up event on facebook.com/wildplumevents Friday, July 29 at Boise Brewing. Morgan said for this one-night only event, Wild Plum will be serving up local pork, turducken and vegetable/mushroom ramen, as well as Momofuku-style steamed buns filled with smoked antibiotic- and hormone-free brisket or portobello mushrooms. The event is scheduled to run 6 p.m.-10 p.m., but will end when the food is gone and, if you haven’t tried Wild Plums eats, you don’t want to miss out. The proof is in the (Wild Plum) pudding. —Amy Atkins BOISE WEEKLY.COM

TONY FURTADO, JULY 27 The opening track of Tony Furtado’s 2015 release The Bell (Yousayfurtado Records), titled “Broken Bell,” builds with a buzzing mixture of baritone ukulele, slide guitar and ﬁddle until Furtado’s voice breaks in: “Tolling low has cracked my shell/ Don’t waste your hammer on a broken bell.” The remainder of the song is a hypnotic blend of slow-step beats underpinning the kind of simmering, frenetic string work that evokes a low-burning prairie ﬁre. The Bandcamp writeup for the song states “a good bell is forged and hardened, hammered and pealed, sometimes cracked. But its voice is loud and unmistakable, reverberating from the inside out.” The blurb could also stand as a description of Portland, Ore.based Furtado himself—a veteran of the indie folk, alt rock and Americana genres whose voice is, indeed, unmistakable. —Zach Hagadone With The McCleary Band, 5 p.m., FREE.

BATTLEHOOCH, JULY 28, NEUROLUX Speaking to SF Weekly in 2012, Battlehooch drummer Tom Hurlbut pushed back against the notion the San Fran-based sextet is “weird.” Rather, he said, “I think that everyone would like at least one Battlehooch song.” As SF Weekly pointed out, what might at first come off as a bit of braggadocio is actually an accurate reflection of the band’s dizzying array of concepts. Self-described as “psychedelic rock,” the moniker doesn’t really do Battlehooch justice. “Type One Error”—half of the band’s 2015 single Type One Error/Grace of Lace—skips from a synth-driven pop sensibility to a drum-heavy quick-step dirge punctuated by horns, building to a vaguely Nintendocore melody before exploding into a full-throated hard rock anthem and resolving in a blur of guitar fuzz. All in four minutes and eight seconds. Battlehooch may not be weird, but it would be weird to miss a chance to see them. Can’t hit Neurolux on a school night?

Olympic dreams are born every day but, as Rio de Janeiro welcomes the athletes of the world to the 31st Summer Olympics in the coming weeks, more than a few Treasure Valley athletes will be running faster and leaping higher, hoping to turn those dreams into Olympic gold. “I think for a lot of kids, especially with gymnastics, being an Olympian is their main goal,” said Kristie Wilson, recreational gymnastics director and team coach at Bronco Elite Gymnastics. Wilson should know. When she was a young girl, however, gymnastics have continued to generate record-setting television audiences across the the Olympic flame sparked her interest. globe. “A lot of us have dreamed of being an Olym“Once the Olympics are on, we definitely see pian.

U.S. Olympians to come to Boise and help motivate young swimmers. “Last year, we had a clinic by Olympian Cullen Jones and this year, we had former Olympian Josh Davis,” said Kapuscinski. Jones is a freestyle swimmer who won silver and gold medals in the 2012 London Olympics, and Davis made history for being the only man (in any sport) to win three gold medals at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. “Our Treasure Valley Y swim team has been around for over 50 years now,” said Kapuscinski, adding the Y has even sent some of its best swimmers on to the U.S. Olympic trials. “Our swim teams practice and compete year-round, but there are no cuts. Nobody is left out. Any child that wants to be a part of the swim team experience is absolutely welcome to it.” Kapuscinski said the Olympic flame may burn brightest for young athletes, but the joy of swimming endures well into their senior years. “It’s been a lifelong journey for me, I swam all the way through college,” he said. “It’s the one sport that has amazing healing qualities. It’s the one sport you can do when you are 80 or 90.” While it may be difficult to keep young swimmers in the pool or gymnasts on the high beam when their favorite Olympic sports are broadcast in primetime on NBC in mid-August, Treasure Valley coaches also expect those budding athletes will watch with great optimism and, soon enough, they’ll be swimming faster and leaping higher.

SCREEN CAFE SOCIETY: A LOVELY FILM BUT…

Woody Allen: the artist and the art of deception GEORGE PRENTICE There is much to discuss (over a bagel perhaps?) concerning Woody Allen’s Cafe Society (maybe with some champagne?). First things first. You should know that: · The film’s gorgeous aura coupled with a fine cast makes Cafe Society, Allen’s 49th feature, worth the price of full admission. · Allen himself is back, not as a character but as narrator, giving the film a welcome lilt. · Of the 17 feature films that Allen has written/directed since 2000, this would rank as among his best (along with Midnight in Paris and Blue Jasmine). · Allen continues to write strong dialogue for second- and even third-tier characters, something sorely absent from many screenwriters. · Top-drawer talent, aching to put a Woody Allen film on their resume, are still drawn to his projects. This time around, we have Steve Carell, Kristen Stewart and a particularly luminous performance from Blake Lively who, in a rather small role, nearly outshines everyone. The news behind the scenes of the kingdom of Heywood (yes, that’s Mr. Allen’s first name) is not as lovely as many of his films. “If you’re filing an [interview] with Blake Lively that asks who she’s wearing but not why she worked with an alleged child molester, it might be time for some soul-searching,” wrote Allen’s son Ronan Farrow on May 11, taking the press to task for continually separating his father the Oscar winning film director from his father the “molester.” It is not new information—but remains chilling—that Allen was accused of the sexual abuse of his step-daughter, Dylan Farrow, in 1992, but the New York Court of Appeals ruled the sex charges were inconclusive. Farrow, brother of the alleged victim and now an NBC News reporter, says the lack of a conviction against Allen “is not an excuse for the press to silence victims [and] to never interrogate allegations.” BOISE WEEKLY.COM

While we’re in the dog days of summer, when the average high is in the 90s, it’s tempting to dismiss red wine altogether. But if you’re serving up barbecued beef, Chardonnay ain’t going to cut. Lighter reds are the ticket—ones with forward fruit and little or no tannins. You want wines that can be served lightly chilled and Beaujolais, made from the supple Gamay Noir grape, ﬁts the bill.

PIT STOP

Cutter’s Grand BBQ lives up to its name TARYN HADFIELD On a bright Friday afternoon, a trail of smoke blew through the empty parking lot in front of Revolution Concert House. It carried a savory smell radiating from an 11-foot-long open-pit grill stacked with slabs of brisket, racks of ribs and whole chickens. As juices from the meat popped and sizzled over the fire, Mike Mullikin stood over his handiwork, a grin on his face. It was a typical afternoon at Cutter’s Grand BBQ. “Doing barbecue has always been a social thing for me,” said Mullikin, co-owner of Cutter’s. “If I didn’t meet such nice people every weekend, I wouldn’t be doing this.” Cutter’s opened in 2010, but Mullikin’s barbecuing experience stretches back to a childhood spent on a 40-acre ranch raising cattle with his father—Cutter was the name of a beloved pet bull. Cutter’s co-owner Christina Mullikin said she recalled seeing a picture of her husband, Mike, when he was 18, cooking barbecue from an open pit he built out of an old oil drum. Christina said Mike’s longtime passion for barbecue was inspired and nurtured by the latter’s father. “[My dad] was one of the toughest I ever knew, working around all that heat,” said Mike. Later in life, when Mike was in the seventh grade, he spent most of his spare time helping his father with their tiling business. While working on residential remodeling projects in California, Mullikin and his father would often stop in San Luis Obispo for the weekly farmer’s market. Mullikin recalled the lines of people waiting to get tri-tip from the open-pit barbecues.

“It’s two times the work, but cooking over the “That’s when [Mike] and his dad started talkpit is way more fun,” he said. ing about building the grill,” said Christina.

CITIZEN DR. JOHN LIVINGSTON

On charity, Medicaid and Idaho’s largest hospitals GEORGE PRENTICE

On the living room wall of Dr. John Livingston’s Boise home hangs a framed, hand-written letter from Mother Teresa. “It was sent to me when a fellow surgeon told her about my work at a Catholic hospital in Reykjavik, Iceland,” said Livingston. As a U.S. Navy surgeon, Livingston traveled the world for 12 years until settling in Boise, where he served as a general/trauma surgeon for 25 years at St. Al’s Regional Medical Center. His new journey is as a special medical adviser to the Idaho Freedom Foundation, which boasts to be “the Gem State’s leading voice for conservative principles.” Livingston agreed to a sit-down interview—his first—with Boise Weekly to talk about his opposition to expanding Medicaid in Idaho in order to serve the so-called “gap population,” which estimated to be 78,000 citizens, who earn too little to access coverage through the state insurance exchange and too much to qualify for standard Medicaid. We talked for two hours. Here’s an abridged version of our conversation.

Idaho who have the right to have those hospitals undergo an independent, outside audit. To be clear, the doctors, nurses, technicians and staff are incredible at Saint Al’s and St. Luke’s. But I think those resources are being exploited by the administrations of those institutions.

Can I assume that your faith informs much of your life and your life’s work? Absolutely.

I’m sorry, are you saying that they’re inappropriately writing off the differences between those two figures? I’m not a CPA.

Can you layer that faith atop the debate on how we should care for Idaho’s uninsured? It’s an individual’s responsibility. Shouldn’t a government serve as a reflection of those individuals? Nowhere in my Bible did I ever find that government was supposed to be a conduit for charity. But when nonprofits have done everything that they can, shouldn’t it be a government’s role to step in to make sure more Americans have access to care? Nonprofits doing all they can? Oh, please. Let’s talk about two of Idaho’s largest nonprofits: Saint Al’s and St. Luke’s hospitals. You’ve made a point of asking Idaho to take a closer look at how those hospitals should play a greater part of a solution to help the uninsured. You have two large hospitals in this town with $4.2 billion in revenue per year. Yet, they’ve been given nonprofit privileges by the citizens of BOISE WEEKLY.COM

But can’t we agree that both Saint Al’s and St. Luke’s write oﬀ tremendous amounts of money to provide care for those patients who have no, or little, ﬁnancial means? I don’t know that. Do you? I choose to believe their annual reports. Be very careful. They have three pots of money: charity care, indigent care and uncompensated government transfers. And they play a shell game with those numbers. One set of books is based on cost-accounting methodology and another set of books is based on something called a chargemaster system, indicating how much they would bill an insurance company.

But that’s what you’re implying. What I’m saying is simple. If you combine the margins on $4.2 billion of revenue, plus the taxes that those hospitals don’t pay, we could go a long way in providing indigent care. Are you saying that our major hospitals are an untapped solution to serving more of Idaho’s uninsureds? No. I’m saying they’re part of the problem. What will your role be for the Idaho Freedom Foundation? To represent a philosophy, proven, from the beginning of time, that the best way to allocate scarce resources is with the free-market system. And charity… Charity is a personal transaction. What I do for another person is charity. But when the government becomes the conduit of charity it’s giving somebody else’s money away. It’s a very bad thing. BOISEweekly c JULY 27 – AUGUST 2, 2016 c 21

YOGA

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Free your body. Don’t ruminate and agonize about it. FREE YOUR BODY! Be brave and forceful. Do it simply and easily. Free your gorgeously imperfect, wildly intelligent body. Allow it to be itself in all its glory. Tell it you’re ready to learn more of its secrets and adore its mysteries. Be in awe of its unfathomable power to endlessly carry out the millions of chemical reactions that keep you alive and thriving. How can you not be overwhelmed with gratitude for your hungry, curious, unpredictable body? Be grateful for its magic. Love the blessings it bestows on you. Celebrate its fierce animal elegance. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The people of many cultures have imagined the sun god as possessing masculine qualities. But in some traditions, the Mighty Father is incomplete without the revitalizing energies of the Divine Mother. The Maoris, for example, believe that every night the solar deity has to marinate in her nourishing uterine bath. Otherwise he wouldn’t be strong enough to rise in the morning. And how does this apply to you? Well, you currently have resemblances to the weary old sun as it dips below the horizon. I suspect it’s time to recharge your powers through an extended immersion in the deep, dark waters of the primal feminine.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): An Interesting Opportunity is definitely in your vicinity. It may slink tantalizingly close to you in the coming days, even whisper your name from afar. But I doubt that it will knock on your door. It probably won’t call you seven times on the phone or flash you a big smile or send you an engraved invitation. So you should make yourself alert for the Interesting Opportunity’s unobtrusive behavior. It could be a bit shy or secretive or modest. Once you notice it, you may have to come on strong—you know, talk to it sweetly or ply it with treats. CANCER (June 21-July 22): [Editor’s note: The counsel offered in the following oracle was channeled from the Goddess by Rob Brezsny. If you have any problems with it, direct your protests to the Queen Wow, not Brezsny.] It’s time to get more earthy and practical about practicing your high ideals and spiritual values. Translate your loftiest intentions into your most intimate behavior. Ask yourself, “How does Goddess want me to respond when my co-worker pisses me off?” or “How would Goddess like me to brush my teeth and watch TV and make love?” For extra credit, get a T-shirt that says, “Goddess was my co-pilot, but we crash-landed in the wilderness and I was forced to eat her.”

24 c JULY 27 – AUGUST 2, 2016 c BOISEweekly

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Be alert for white feathers gliding on the wind. Before eating potato chips, examine each one to see if it bears a likeness of Rihanna or the Virgin Mary. Keep an eye out, too, for portents like robots wearing dreadlocked wigs or antique gold buttons lying in the gutter or senior citizens cursing at invisible Martians. The appearance of anomalies like these will be omens that suggest you will soon be the recipient of crazy good fortune. But if you would rather not wait around for chance events to trigger your good luck, simply make it your fierce intention to generate it. Use your optimism-fueled willpower and your flair for creative improvisation. You will have abundant access to these talents in the coming weeks. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have just begun your big test. How are you doing so far? According to my analysis, the preliminary signs suggest you have a good chance of proving the old maxim, “If it doesn’t make you so crazy that you put your clothes on inside-out and try to kiss the sky until you cry, it will help you win one of your biggest arguments with Life.” In fact, I suspect we will ultimately see you undergo at least one miraculous and certifiably melodramatic transformation. A wart on your attitude could dissolve, for example. A luminous visitation may heal one of your blind

spots. You might find a satisfactory substitute for kissing the sky. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): For many years, my occupation was “starving artist.” I focused on improving my skills as a writer and musician, even though those activities rarely earned me any money. To ensure my survival, I worked as little as necessary at low-end jobs—scrubbing dishes at restaurants, digging ditches for construction companies, delivering newspapers in the middle of the night and volunteering for medical experiments. During the long hours spent doing tasks that had little meaning to me, I worked diligently to remain upbeat. One trick that worked well was imagining future scenes when I would be engaged in exciting creative work that paid me a decent wage. It took a while, but eventually those visions materialized in my actual life. I urge you to try this strategy in the coming months, Libra. Harness your mind’s eye in the service of generating the destiny you want to inhabit. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You have every right to celebrate your own personal Independence Day sometime soon. In fact, given the current astrological omens, you’d be justified in embarking on a full-scale emancipation spree in the coming weeks. It will be prime time to seize more freedom and declare more autonomy and build more

self-sufficiency. Here’s an important nuance to the work you have ahead of you: Make sure you escape the tyranny of not just the people and institutions that limit your sovereignty, but also the voices in your own head that tend to hinder your flow. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Of all the forbidden fruits that you fantasize about, which one is your favorite? Among the intriguing places you consider to be outside of your comfort zone, which might inspire you to redefine the meaning of “comfort”? The coming weeks will be a favorable time to reconfigure your relationship with these potential catalysts. And while you’re out on the frontier dreaming of fun experiments, you might also want to flirt with other wild cards and strange attractors. Life is in the mood to tickle you with useful surprises. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You have a special talent for accessing wise innocence. In some ways you’re virginal, fresh and raw, and in other ways you’re mature, seasoned and well-developed. I hope you will regard this not as a confusing paradox but, rather, as an exotic strength. With your inner child and your inner mentor working in tandem, you could accomplish heroic feats of healing. Their brilliant collaboration could also lead to the mending of an old rift.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Where is everybody when I need them?” Even if you haven’t actually spoken those words recently, I’m guessing the voices in your head have whispered them. But, from what I can tell, that complaint will soon be irrelevant. It will no longer match reality. Your allies will start offering more help and resources. They may not be perfectly conscientious in figuring out how to be of service, but they’ll be pretty good. Here’s what you can do to encourage optimal results: 1. Purge your low, outmoded expectations. 2. Open your mind and heart to the possibility that people can change. 3. Humbly ask—out loud, not just in the privacy of your imagination—for precisely what you want. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Millions of Pisceans less fortunate than you won’t read this horoscope. Uninformed about the rocky patch of Yellow Brick Road that lies just ahead, they may blow a gasket or get a flat tire. You, on the other hand, will benefit from my oracular foreshadowing, as well as my inside connections with the Lords of Funky Karma. You will therefore be likely to drive with relaxed caution, keeping your vehicle unmarred in the process. That’s why I’m predicting that although you may not arrive speedily at the next leg of your trip, you will do so safely and in style.

MINERVA’S BREAKDOWN

SPIKEBALL In a promotional video for Spikeball, beach bros huddle around a tiny trampoline, skittering like crabs in anticipation. A yellow ball bounces up from the trampoline and the guys go wild, leaping and diving. From the sidelines, Spikeball can look like mayhem but, like any sport, it’s easy to forget appearances in the heat of gameplay. Getting in the thick of it is great fun, too, with opportunities to exhibit dramatic saves, deft maneuvers and withering putaways. spikeball.com, $53-$120 The object of the game is to score points by bouncing the ball off the trampoline in a way the opposing two-person team can’t return. The mechanics are identical to volleyball but, instead of a net, there’s a trampoline. Spikeball setup is easy and takes about ﬁve minutes. Kits run from the basic ($53) to Spikeball Pro ($120), which comes with a sturdier frame for more consistent gameplay and textured balls so competitive players can put strategic spins on their serves. For committed Spikeballers, there’s the City of Trees Spikeball Tournament 2016 from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. at Ann Morrison Park Saturday, July 30. The entry fee is $20. —Harrison Berry

DEAR MINERVA, How do you ﬁnd your people? My family doesn’t talk to me. I’ve got a couple great friends, but there is still this void that keeps me feeling lonely all the time. People talk about ﬁnding their people or their chosen family. But how does one do this? Sincerely, —Mr. Lonely

DEAR MR. LONELY, Finding your people can be a challenge, but one that is well worth it. Hollywood would lead us to believe we should have amassed large friend groups that are full of “our people.” In the real world, “our people” usually consists of a small group of people who just “get” each other. I think this is desirable. Having lots of friends can be great fun but a close group of friends that have become a chosen family is incredibly fulfilling. The best way to find your people is to engage in the activities that you enjoy in life. Sharing a common interest will bind you closer and give you a chance to learn more about each other since this interest has served as an icebreaker. Loneliness is a complicated feeling. Simply finding your people may not be enough to prevent it. Learning to love yourself even when it seems there is no one else will make sure that you include yourself in your definition of “your people.” Don’t count out your “couple of great friends.” Cultivate those relationships. You may have already discovered some of your chosen family. Best of luck.
