EDITOR’S NOTE PAYING FOR PROGRAMS TO HELP THE HOMELESS Two pieces of news this week revolve around local efforts to combat homelessness—specifically, the ongoing challenge of paying for services to help people get off the streets. On Page 6, Boise Weekly Staff Writer Harrison Berry investigated changes to the funding structure for a triplex that offers transitional supportive housing in Boise’s West End neighborhood. Called Threshold Crossing, the program had been paid for with funds from Housing and Urban Development. However, in a shift toward permanent supportive housing, the agency has put in place new rules that make facilities like Threshold Crossing ineligible for the federal funds they once received. Looking at a $25,000 shortfall, Threshold Crossing and NeighborWorks, which administers the program, had to look elsewhere—the city of Boise came to the rescue. It’s not a permanent solution, however, as the allocation was only approved for one year. Meanwhile, also on Page 6, BW News Editor George Prentice reports on another homelessness services provider that has run into money trouble. The Boise Rescue Mission earlier this month announced that due to a contractor’s bankruptcy, the nonprofit, faith-based shelter was down more than $350,000 for the year— potentially threatening its continued survival. Again, the community stepped up to bridge the gap, with donations pouring in from businesses and individuals. “This is the most generous community on the face of the earth,” said Mission CEO Rev. Bill Roscoe. Generous though our area residents may be, the precariousness of funding sources for these organizations underscores the need for stability in order to ensure their critical work can be accomplished into the future.

OPINION FROM THE FAR MARGINS The Audition
NICOLE LEFAVOUR The hallway was filled with sweaty Republican congressmen and senators, gold crosses, chest hair, musk cologne. One of Trump’s handlers came out, told us all to fill out audition forms. The three questions were clearly meant to humiliate us. I knew this, thus I could not be humiliated. That is what I reasoned. The Questions: 1. Will you do what I say even if it means unleashing tear gas on a room full of kittens and baby seals? 2. Can you make me look like I care? 3. Will you admit your penis is smaller than mine? Questions No. 2 and 3 were easy. Number 1 I wrestled with but then concluded that, since it was tear gas, it was something the kittens would eventually get over. I had a cat at home. I didn’t care much about seals. When it was my turn, I was nervous. I readjusted my Add the Words button and gave myself another squirt of patchouli. Ahead of me in line was one of the bearded Robertsons from Duck Dynasty. I don’t know which one. He kept eyeing the thick black leg hair poking through my pantyhose. An intern with a clipboard wandered the line taking notes. He asked a few of the Wall Street types for urine samples. When my name was called, Ivanka came out and greeted me with a stiff outstretched hand. Digging her colored nails into my flesh, she whispered loudly, “There is no f*cking way you are getting this job.” She smiled at the long line of waiting applicants in their suits and ties. Turning to me she hissed, “He wants to see you anyway.” Donald looked up from his phone as I came in. A tall cardboard box sat upended in the center of the room like a lectern. He motioned to me to step up to it and rotated his hand in the air like I was supposed to start speaking. “So, tell me, you’ve got a cornfield, or something like a cornfield. I need a guy with a cornfield. You’re not a guy. I know you’re not a guy. We ruled that whole thing out. ‘Donald,’ women said to me, they called and said, ‘Donald you don’t have to play the woman card.’” He stood and pursed his lips, looking slightly contemplative. “And where did we get you?” he said. “Don’t take this personally, you know I never mean it personally, but pancake flat? Nothing, nothing there. What? Size quadruple-A? And Idaho? I-dahoe? What I really need is a cornfield. You know, a place with rows of corn your daddy plowed?” I opened my mouth thinking I would say that I didn’t have a cornfield but that I had once lived in a goat pasture. But Donald went on. BOISE WEEKLY.COM
“And you believe in God? You and God are good? I know I shouldn’t have to ask, but, I’ve got to have someone who talks God... who can bring up God. You know and I know, in this I’ve got to have God… any VP has got to really make people feel that this campaign is about God... and it would be better if I have a farmer with a cornfield,” he said. “Let’s hear you do that. About me, just talk. Talk. Show me you can make me look good.“ He stepped back. I cleared my throat and stepped to the box. One or two of the previous auditioners, probably one of the congressmen, must have been nervous. I wished I had a sani-wipe because the box itself was wet and smelled like sweat— panic sweat. “I’m not a Republican,” I said. “You’re not. Right. I mean I knew that specifically Republican—it’s not your specialty.” Donald was smiling. He was amused by the thought. “How did you think that would work for me? Tell me how you’d make that work for me?” He paused, eyebrows raised, waiting for my reply. “And I’m gay,” I said. Here Donald smiled his big, fake, pursedlip smile. “Everybody’s gay, aren’t they?” he said. “People tell me all the time… they tell me… ‘I’m gay, I’m gay.’ But does it matter here? Yes, I’m saying it would throw people off. They’d talk… It would make them think... ” he stopped. “The gay thing, that’s soooo not going to help me.” Here Donald looked up and yelled toward the door at the front of the room. “Next,” he shouted. Half amused and half angry, he turned to me: “It’s been nice. Really, really nice. But I’m done. People out there know I’m done. People, even the gay people, will understand. They’ll call and say it was the right thing. They’ll say, ‘Donald, you should tell the gay senator from Idaho you’re done.’” Ivanka saw me out. I got a call back though, a second audition a week later. Donald and I did shots of wheatgrass juice and he talked. It went something like: “The wheatgrass helps me with my energy… my stamina on the campaign, giving speeches. I give so, so many speeches and I... you know… or maybe you don’t know… I need to get it up after. Believe me, we’ve all got to get it up after… So I love women’s breasts. You and I, we both love women’s breasts. Have some more wheatgrass.” BOISEweekly c AUGUST 17–23, 2016 c 5

NEWS CROSSING THE THRESHOLD
Boise Rescue Mission has averted financial disaster with the help of community donations.
BOISE RESCUE MISSION: ‘CRISIS IS PAST’ On Aug. 1, Boise Rescue Mission Ministries sent out a stark plea to the public. “We’re not crying wolf,” wrote Mission CEO Rev. Bill Roscoe, adding the faith-based nonprofit was facing a deficit of more than $350,000. Roscoe said the fiscal crisis started in the fall of 2015, when a subcontractor went bankrupt, leaving nearly 50,000 holidaytime appeal letters unmailed. “Our direct contact didn’t hear about it until it was too late,” he said. “There was no way to recover that, and the deficit followed us through the year. That’s our lifeblood. It’s not as if we have a collection plate.” Roscoe said he was hesitant to go to a bank to secure a loan to help make ends meet. The Mission serves nearly 1,000 meals per day and provides shelter for nearly 400 men, women and children each night. Less than two weeks after his first appeal, Roscoe sent another letter. “The crisis is past,” he wrote, telling Boise Weekly the “generous outpouring of support” had helped the Mission erase much of its red ink. “This is the most generous community on the face of the earth,” Roscoe said. “I cannot possibly express in words the sincere appreciation we have for the support that we have received these past 14 days.” As an example, Treasure Valley Chick-fil-A restaurants raised funds and donated 15 percent of a month’s-worth of proceeds to the mission, for a total of $10,444. “While ‘thank you’ seems inadequate, it’s the best that I can say,” said Roscoe, but cautioned the need for donations to keep services going is never-ending. “We still have hundreds of people depending on us daily, so I hope that the generous folks of the valley will continue their generous support,” he said, adding the mission doesn’t accept local, state or federal funds and depends solely on community support. —George Prentice

New HUD rules are set to change how Boise houses the homeless HARRISON BERRY The triplex is unassuming, but the building, located in Boise’s West End neighborhood, is the epicenter of a shift in how Boise addresses the problem of housing the homeless. It’s called Threshold Crossing, a transitional supportive housing complex where people making steps out of homelessness can live for up to two years while surrounded by a slate of social services. However, changes to Housing and Urban Development grant funding rules mean the facility has had to look elsewhere for approximately $25,000 to cover operating costs. “We’ve lost our funding. It’s tough to run that property,” said Michael Shepard, acquisition rehabilitation and asset management manager for NeighborWorks Boise, the nonprofit that owns Threshold Crossing. “We could sell it, but we want to continue this program. We actually want to get back into serving people who make less than 30 percent of area median income. That’s the at-risk population here.” The Boise City Council on Aug. 9 approved a one-year appropriation of $25,000 to NeighborWorks to continue the program from a separate source of HUD funds, but this marks the first time HUD funds have dried up for a Boise homelessness housing program because of a new grant funding mechanism geared toward permanent, rather than temporary, housing for people and families at risk of homelessness. In order to survive, projects like Threshold Crossing will have to make their own transition. NeighborWorks has for decades provided a variety of housing services to low-income individuals and families. The housing stock includes 283 housing units, four multi-family apartment complexes, two triplexes—including Threshold Crossing—and a single-family residence. At Threshold Crossing, rents are based on tenants’ incomes, which vary month to month. For instance, in June, total rent paid for all three units was $95, or a little more than $30 per unit for the month. However, the average rent paid so far in 2016 has been $279 per unit per month. Despite the ups and downs of rental payments, NeighborWorks has a more firm annual operating cost for the triplex, which ranges from $25,000-

$30,000. When its historic HUD funding source vanished, it turned to the city for help. “What you’re seeing on [Boise City] Council is our attempt to stabilize transition, both for the nonprofit partner and the occupants of the housing,” said Boise City Housing and Community Development Manager AnaMarie Guiles. According to the ongoing Family Options Study, conducted by HUD’s Office of Policy Development and Research, there is “striking evidence of the power of offering a permanent subsidy to a homeless family.” With permanent supportive housing cheaper than transitional housing, communities are better able to increase their supportive housing stock, the study concluded, enabling them to get more families off the streets. Based on the study’s findings, HUD made changes to funding eligibility requirements for transitional housing programs. When the agency announced its annual Continuum of Care grants earlier this year, totalling approximately $355 million, many communities were left with the tab for homelessness programs. In New York City, 12 transitional housing shelters—amounting to about 500 beds—saw their funding cut, according to Politico. In New York, as in Boise, HUD worked with communities and programs to “wind them down” or help them adapt. “What HUD is doing is saying, ‘For those projects that received money from us years ago, we don’t want to prioritize continuing support for you, so we’ll consider reducing our restrictive covenants on those funds,’” Guiles said. The city’s role in combating homelessness goes back decades, but a pivotal moment came in December 2015, when Boise police dismantled Cooper Court—the tent city that cropped up near Interfaith Sanctuary. In January 2016, a Boise State University study revealed the community
cost of 100 chronically homeless men and women is more than $5.3 million per year. That included $3.8 million in emergency medical services and $750,000 in costs at the Ada County Jail. The city announced in February it would pursue a two-pronged housing-first model to combat homelessness in the Treasure Valley—a strategy that, according to the Boise State study, could reduce the community cost of chronic homelessness to approximately $1.6 million each year. That approach will include building a single-site housing complex and 15 units of scattered-site permanent supportive housing. “The best alternative is to get someone in a safe, clean place to live first,” said Boise Mayor Dave Bieter at the time. “Only then can you get to the root causes of homelessness.” On the front lines of tackling those causes is Dalynn Kuster, of El-Ada Community Partnerships, the social services organization that partners with NeighborWorks at Threshold Crossing. While she couldn’t speak to the specific services provided to current tenants, she said El-Ada connects people living in supportive housing with everything from substance abuse counseling and low-cost or pro bono legal help to home economics and getting along with neighbors. “We’re a haul-water, chop-wood sort of social work,” she said. On a day-to-day basis, HUD’s shifting funding priorities aren’t likely to have a major impact on how services are delivered but, in the long-term, the effects of pivoting to permanent supportive housing remain to be seen. “If housing-first is implemented quickly, and Boise gets all of their ducks in a row with it, if it rolls out the way it’s supposed to, I think it’s going to be transformational in our community,” Kuster said. “If it doesn’t, if there are hiccups in the process, it will be more detrimental.” BOISE WEEKLY.COM

The 3,500-foot vertical climb from Boise to Bogus Basin is one of the gnarliest in the Treasure Valley, taking riders from the baking sunshine of the flats and naked hillsides to the treeline. It’s not for the faint of heart, but for 44 years now, the strong of will have participated in the annual Bogus Basin Hill Climb. This year, in addition to the road climb, the ride features a brutal alternative: a 21-mile mountain bike course, which is five miles and 500 vertical feet over the Bogus Basin Road route. Entry is $70 in advance, $100 the day of the race, and proceeds benefit the nonprofit recreation area and trail maintenance, which has a goal of $25,000. Whichever course you choose, there are rest stations along the way and a Music on the Mountain party waiting for you at the finish line. 8 a.m. mountain bike start, 9 a.m. road bike start, $70-$100.

NOISE/ALBUM REVIEW HIHAZEL: PRIVATE PALACE If HiHazel’s Private Palace (self-released, 2016) were a real place, it would be a temple built to worship psychedelic rock ’n’ roll. Inside would be a room dense with smoke, incense, and crimson and clover (whatever that is). A shrine to Arthur Lee, Syd Barrett and Roky Erickson would be illuminated by candles and purple string lights and would have a mantle covered in psychedelic artifacts; The Velvet Underground’s White Light/White Heat (Verve, 1968), a Sun Ra plush doll, love beads, a copy of The Monkees’ 1968 film Head, a didgeridoo (or two), Spaceman 3’s live album Dreamweapon (Fierce, 1995) and probably drug paraphernalia. It’s here the young musicians in local band HiHazel live. Worship is easy, but creating a personal offering that neither blasphemes nor plagiarizes is difficult. HiHazel succeeded with Private Palace, the band’s debut album, which was released digitally Aug. 1 via Bandcamp and will be available on CD soon. Recorded in the spring of 2016 in a Guadalajara, Mexico, Private Palace is a sixsong document of an exotic place. On the album’s opening track, “Rolling Stoned,” the first sound is a car driving along a gravel road, the beginning of an atmospheric texture carried throughout the album by barking dogs and enthusiastic yelps from the band. “Charles and Mary,” a stuttering pop song that could be the record’s single, is an ode to partying that ends with a fuzzed-out garage-rock guitar solo rocketing into space before self-destructing into feedback. Private Palace is less than 30 minutes long but contains two freakout jams, the highlight being the subtle but hypnotic drone, “Ride into the Sun.” If anything is lacking on Private Palace it’s subject matter. “Sarah” and “Odessa” are simple sketches about siren women who can only be contained in the bedroom. While “Rolling Stoned” and “Ride into the Sun” are kiss-off songs to these same women, HiHazel’s detached chanting vocals are only dropped on “Means to an End” for the lyric “Nothing should ever be a means to an end / That’s what she told me,” a proper but meaningless break-up sentiment, unless “she” is “Sarah” and/or “Odessa.” then maybe that’s the point. Private Palace may not break boundaries but it is a solid record from a confident band, and it’s a record that just gets better with repeat listens. HiHazel plays Neurolux on Saturday, Aug. 20, as both opener for Portland, Ore.-based garage rockers Wooden Indian Burial Ground and as a CD release party. It’s the perfect opportunity to make your own offering at the altar of psychedelic rock ’n’ roll. —Jeffrey C. Lowe 14 c AUGUST 17–23, 2016 c BOISEweekly

JERRY JOSEPH AND THE JACKMORMONS, AUG. 17 With his slow-motion strut and quavering bluesy vocals, Jerry Joseph comes off as a subversive stump preacher. On “Istanbul,” the first track on Jerry Joseph and The Jackmormons’ 2015 release Istanbul | Fog of War (Cosmo Sex School Records), he reels out a slow jam disquisition on the story of Jesus, featuring a St. John the Baptist, Judas Iscariot and the archangels Gabriel and Raphael. It’s a 22:35-minute ecclesiastical declamation that draws on the radical nature of early Christianity with allusions to contemporary unrest in the Mideast—the Arab Spring and Afghanistan War among them. (Lord Buckley’s wild-eyed, scat-ified retelling of the Jesus story, “The Nazz,” springs to mind as an allied effort.) Heady stuff, but Joseph’s reggae pedigree gives the ecstatic sermon a rolling rhythm perfect for spaced out ruminations on the nature of divinity. —Zach Hagadone With Great Bait. 5 p.m., FREE.

WOODEN INDIAN BURIAL GROUND, AUG. 20, NEUROLUX It’s business as usual on Wooden Indian Burial Ground’s latest release How’s Your Favorite Dreamer? (EXAG Records, 2016). Fuzzed guitars, chord-driving organ and robotic Devo-esque vocals create noise that induces Tasmanian Devil-level dancing, but WIBG also takes meditative detours into psychedelic jams, providing time to catch your breath. WIBG’s atmospheric sound and sloppy garage rock combine to create what promises to be a killer live show on Saturday, Aug. 20. As if WIBG wasn’t trippy enough, local band HiHazel is also taking a psychedelic journey that night as opening act and celebrating the release of its debut album Private Palace (Self-released, Aug. 1). Check out our review of Private Palace on Page 14. Jimi Hendrix once asked “Are you experienced?” So, wherever WIBG and HiHazel take you this Saturday, prepare to be experienced. —Jeffrey C.

STRANGE ATTRACTION
The pitch-perfect nostalgia of Netflix’s new series Stranger Things BW STAFF
When Netflix released House of Cards as an original series in 2013, media watchers rightly noted it signaled a sea change in the entertainment-industrial complex. Since then, Netflix has produced a steady stream of original series, as has online retail titan Amazon. It’s no understatement to say the trend has triggered a television renaissance. However, topping even House of Cards’ popularity, is Netflix’s newest offering, Stranger Things, a sci-fi horror tale set in the 1980s. On Aug. 12, Esquire reported the show had pulled 8.2 million viewers in its first two weeks. To call Stranger Things a success is downplaying its effect, with fans and critics alike gushing over its feast of nostalgic homages coupled with a genuinely gripping story focused on a band of ragamuffin kids facing off against an evil entity from the netherworld. With a 94 percent critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes, the consensus seems to be Stranger Things is a pitch-perfect throwback that scratches all the right itches without coming off as a forced trip down memory lane. Following the July 15 premiere of Stranger Things, Boise Weekly convened a panel of Associate Publisher Amy Atkins, Staff Writer Harrison Berry, Editor-in-Chief Zach Hagadone and Graphic Designer Jeff Lowe to analyze its nostalgic components with an eye toward what attracts us to shows dealing with the recent past. (Warning: spoilers ahead.) ZH: The New York Post writes Stranger Things is ’80s “nostalgia bait,� which seems to be meant as a pejorative. While you all agree it’s nostalgic, is it pandering? Is it “nostalgia bait� or is it legit? HB: Well, what we see here is a riff on that kind of Goonies theme. Here’s a troop of kids going out solving mysteries or having an adventure. It has that feel so, of course, it harkens back on those themes of the ’80s, but what we’re looking at here is a level of composition quality that is much more contemporary. AA: I think it goes much deeper than that. There is a video setting Stranger Things up against a variety of ’80s films and they are scene-for-scene matched. The Duffer Brothers, who created the
Stranger Things is a throwback that somehow feels fresh.
show, followed a formula. Can you contemporize nostalgia? Isn’t nostalgia, by its nature, past tense? JL: It succeeds in what it’s doing by taking themes and stylistic cues from the ’80s, but it’s even doing what the ’80s did, like borrowing from the ’50s. There is a huge Stand by Me element, which is an ’80s film set in the ’50s. ZH: I was struck by that re-watching the first episode. The kid who goes missing, Will Byers, is running from the monster. First of all, he’s riding his bike in the middle of the night, which parents would never let their 12- or 13-year-old kid do today. Second, he’s being chased by this weird beast, and his first thought is to run to the shed and grab a rifle, which he knows how to load under stress. That’s a skill that doesn’t exist for most kids these days. The idea that kids are capable or competent is an interesting concept in the show. AA: But they are always capable in those kinds of shows, whether it’s Stand by Me or Goonies or Silver Bullet. ZH: So that’s an element of nostalgia, looking back to a time when kids knew how to use rifles and were given free rein in the neighborhood, regardless of the time of day. JL: I was wondering how you would describe their environment: Is it suburban or rural? AA: I would say it’s suburban except I was thrown by the fact that at one point, you see Will’s house and you can barely see it through the trees. JL: It took place in suburbia, but was also on the edge. You go up a block, and they’re in the forest. They didn’t have to go far to be on the frontier.
ZH: And in the meantime, there is an alternate reality, overlaid or under-laid, that is happening concurrently. There are two realities happening simultaneously, which may speak to that “kid life,â€? where you mark out certain trees or gullies that becomes your whole world, apart from grownups. JL: The biggest trope I think it takes from the ’80s is this band of outsiders. ZH: And this fear of the government. The demon in Stranger Things is unleashed by the government, and it’s such an ’80s thing to have the government doing something shady‌ “Oh, we’re the Department of Energy. We’re here to help.â€? It’s the big, bad government with Matthew Modine—and his poor man’s Ted Danson hair— stalking around to nefarious ends. AA: Remember what the Department of Energy is fighting against? Who’s the enemy? Russia. HB: So this is a metaphor for nuclear weapons? That in cultivating this weapon—in this case, Eleven, a little girl whose mental powers we plan to use on our enemies—we end up visiting destruction on ourselves? ZH: You can’t separate the ’80s from that sense of paranoia about the Cold War, which I thought was one of the coolest ’80s throwbacks, indirectly evoking that feeling of existential dread. AA: I think they get a lot of credit for setting it in the ’80s but not shoving your face in some Kajagoogoo song. I like how there was certainly a little bit of music, you get the Clash, but it was used as a way for the brothers to bond as opposed to the whole, “This is the ’80s. See all these ’80s things? Hear this ’80s music?â€? It showed such restraint. BOISE WEEKLY.COM
ZH: So, what makes it so satisfying to watch? AA: The characters are, from the first moment, developed without feeling like weird stereotypes. ZH: That might be why it goes beyond pure nostalgia-bait. I love Batman; I’m nostalgic for Batman, but I can’t stand another Batman movie. I don’t want to hear the story of Batman’s origins one more time in my life. I don’t want to see that put on film, I don’t want to see that painted on velvet. I don’t care about Batman anymore. I felt none of that rehashing with Stranger Things. I’ve seen all these characters and this story arc before. I’ve see the harried single mother before, I’ve seen the drunk cop. Everything in this show I’ve seen before but it felt like it was the first time it had ever been done. There was a sense of discovery to the thing that I wasn’t expecting. JL: There’s nothing new really. I never need to see ET or The Goonies again, but there’s something about those movies that they were able to use to their advantage in Stranger Things. ET was the obvious one to me: you’ve got kids on bikes, when the car flipped I immediately thought of them flying and especially when they dressed Eleven up in the pink dress and the wig. AA: Holy god, Jeff. I never even thought of that. And one thing I really liked was the kids. You’ve got Dustin, with his actual disorder that they left in the show. That’s a real thing for that kid.
HB: That’s legit. Though I felt institutional tension beyond generational tension. You have the Department of Energy versus a small-town cop; you have youth versus adulthood and, in the end they’re fighting the same enemy, this transdimensional monster.
ZH: Maybe some of the popularity is because it’s a pushback against the big studio superhero blockbusters. We just want something well made that’s a self-contained thing. JL: Is that one of the reasons it’s surprisingly good? Because people are on their couch not expecting anything?
JL: I just love it when kids in movies are cast at their age and given lines and motivations that kids at that age would do and say.
ZH: In our media culture where everything is so mass produced and mass marketed, it’s refreshing to have that intimate discovery.
ZH: Even the way they cussed felt authentic. They only know a couple of swear words that they dare to use and when they do, it’s serious.
JL: I watched Suicide Squad because I felt like I had to. I’d seen those dumb trailers for a year.

JL: It’s a matter of quality and using that attention span that people have for TV series—these nine-hour binges where every detail matters. That attention to detail that invites you to explore.
ZH: Jonathan, Will’s brother, he looked like a baby Neil Young who got left out in the rain.
ZH: I think part of the attraction of this series is that it speaks to a lot of contemporary anxieties, like technology taking over everybody’s lives. In this series, technology, or high-technology, is a bad thing—it unleashed a demon. So to see kids on bikes with their crappy little lights and banana seats, and their walkie-talkies—that’s refreshing to people of an age who experienced life without constant technology and life with constant technology. That simplicity is attractive.
ht estt Sho Bes
AA: It’s one of the best things that’s hit the small screen in a super long time. I don’t know how Netflix keeps doing this. To me, it’s next to True Detective. It’s in that top tier.
AA: When HBO first came on and people were swearing on TV, it changed everything. These were real people saying real things. This feels to me like that, when there was something so new and interesting apart from the pablum.
JL: It’s about friendship and coming together for a greater cause, and that’s an ’80s trope, which is interesting because actual ’80s movies were coming out of the “me” decade and steeped in the yuppiedom of the ’80s, yet the theme is often using friends to accomplish some goal.

AA: It’s like they’re so not present; like they’re so worried about the next one and merchandising and money. This series doesn’t feel like it was made with the idea, “Oh, who can we bait to make more money off this thing?” HB: Stranger Things is just a great show. Maybe it’s that simple.

BEERGUZZLER MEXICAN-STYLE LAGERS
EPIC BREWING LOS LOCOS MEXICAN-STYLE LAGER, $1.70-$2 This cloudy, strawcolored brew throws a decent egg-white head that collapses quickly. Smells like Lemonhead candy tastes, but with a bit of cracker, salt and lime (not surprising, since they add lime juice and salt to the brew). Creamed corn flavors come through on the palate, punctuated by that lime and salt. Break out the tacos. PELICAN BREWING PELICANO EXTRA! CERVEZA, $4.50-$5.80 A pale golden pour with a thin head that leaves little lacing. The yeasty, fresh bread aromas are backed by just a hint of hops. There’s a definite sweetness to the palate, but more like fresh fruit than sugar, and it’s nicely balanced by a citrusy tartness on the finish. Light carbonation makes for an easy drinking, completely refreshing, hot summer day bomber. 21ST AMENDMENT EL SULLY CERVEZA, $1.60$1.90 A rich head tops this very pale, slightly hazy, lemonade colored lager. The nose is a combo of biscuit, grain and corn flake with a bit of herb-laced spice. In the mouth, it opens with a hit of malt sweetness that’s backed by toast, buttered popcorn; spicy apple fruit; and a hint of hops. Stylistically, more like a pils than a Mexican lager. —David Kirkpatrick 20 c AUGUST 17–23, 2016 c BOISEweekly
FOOD
HARRISON BERRY
There’s a reason Mexican cerveza is associated with summer. Those lightly hopped, lightly carbonated, low alcohol lagers are the perfect quaff when things heat up. With apologies to our south-of-the-border friends, American craft breweries—having taken the style to heart—are producing some admirable results. Here are three worthy examples, all under 5 percent alcohol by volume.
(Left) Jeff May, of Bar Gernika, and Jason Farber, of Archie’s Place, have joined food forces to form Manfred’s Catering. (Right) Nato Mexican Food makes a neato keeno burrito.
SAMPLER PLATTER
New nosheries, established eateries and food-and-drink fests AMY ATKINS AND HARRISON BERRY Longtime Boise restaurateurs Jason Farber and Jeff May go way back. Friends since they were students at Boise High School, Farber went on to open Archie’s Place food truck and May became the owner and operator of Bar Gernika. In July, they joined food forces and opened Manfred’s Catering at 1114 W. Front St.—a riff off both popular eateries. “We’re putting our efforts, our knowledge and experience together,” May said. Manfred’s is a restaurant and catering service operating out of a kitchen in Woodland Empire Ale Craft that serves lunch and dinner. The menu is electric and eclectic, with wild specials like fried basque peppers with cotija cheese and crostini, and the beer sandwich, piled with lamb and pork meatloaf, Electric Warrior mustard and hopped pickles. In creating Manfred’s, the owners hoped to break from their previous restaurant experiences. For Farber, Manfred’s is a chance to escape the orbit of long hours and harsh economics in the food truck business. May was looking for a way to create efficiencies at Bar Gernika and improvise off Basque cuisine at a location less defined by a classic menu. “Every day you have to shop; every day you have to cook; every day you have to clean,” he said of running Gernika. “I wanted a commissary.” As downtown spreads and the nearby JUMP project nears completion, Manfred’s owners said they hope people in west downtown will gravitate toward the eatery during the lunch hour and,
eventually, the plan is to expand the Manfred’s concept to include full dinners with Woodland Empire beer pairings. For now, Farber and May said they’re trying to cultivate a clientele. “The short-term is to build the culture and show people we’re here,” Farber said. Find more about Manfred’s food at facebook. com/manfredsboise. • After a beer sandwich at Manfred’s, it’s only a few steps to a cold beer at Doc’s Bar, housed in the little shack at 1108 W. Front St., which has seen more tenants come and go than a hostel. It was once the Locker Room, which gained some notoriety after Dave Attell visited on piercing and fetish night for an episode of his popular TV show Insomniac. It was the original home of the beloved Lucky Dog (which moved into a building that once housed a McDonald’s and a donut shop—tastiest ghosts ever), followed by Pitchers and Pints for a few years, then Dolly’s Bar for about a minute. One rejuvenating facelift—both inside and out—and it’s now the friendly, shiny Doc’s Bar. The good doctor is at facebook.com/Boisedocsbar. If you scream for ice cream like one Vista neighborhood resident did during an Energize Our Neighborhoods meeting, Cold Stone Creamery might be listening. Another location of the popular ice cream shop will open this fall at 1028 S. Vista Ave. in the Vista Village Shopping Center. Stay tuned for deets.
In news of the not-so-new, a trip to the movies can be a costly endeavor, leaving you little bread for a bite to eat. However, after you see, say, Suicide Squad at the Edwards Stadium 22 mondoplex, head across Overland Road to Nato’s Mexican Food at 1492 Entertainment Way for a beautiful, big-ass burrito—or chimichanga, enchilada, taco or torta. Nato’s, which is locally owned, has been serving delicious deals for about four years now, at prices low enough to feed the whole fam: from $2.25 for a bean burrito to $10 for a shrimp and beef combo plate. The house special (shrimp and a chile relleno), the adobada (juicy marinated pork and guacamole) and the lengua (tender beef tongue and cilantro) burritos plus a huge slice of fabulous flan only set us back around $20. Find the menu and more at natosmexicanfood.com. Last but not least, it’s time to get on the sauce. Join the people pouring into the Basque Block on Friday, Aug. 19, for the 19th annual Basque Museum Winefest. Eat, drink and be merry while benefiting the Basque Museum. Tickets are $35 adv., $40 if you wait until you get there, so call 208-343-2671 to reserve yours. Visit basquemuseum.com for more info.

CITIZEN PEN AMERICA
LT. COL. DAVID FRAKT In the shadows of Guantanamo HARRISON BERRY
While the aftershocks of America’s wars in the Middle East continue to reverberate, one group remains in a kind of stasis: prisoners from those conflicts held at Guantanamo Bay. Lt. Col. David Frakt was the court-appointed legal counsel for two Guantanamo detainees, ultimately securing the release of one, Mohammed Jawad, a child soldier charged by a military commission for “attempted murder in violation of the law of war” after he threw a hand grenade at a U.S. military vehicle, injuring three. Since then, Frakt has appeared in print and on cable news shows, talking about securing Jawad’s release and the dark side of America’s prosecution of the War on Terror. Frakt, who has written a chapter for Obama’s Guantanamo: Stories from an Enduring Prison, will be joined by the book’s editor Jonathan Hafetz and Boise attorney David Nevin (who has also defended Guantanamo detainees) at the Esther Simplot Performing Arts Academy Friday, Aug. 26, for the book’s launch party and a discussion of the attorneys’ experiences and observations. What’s a military commission? These were a way of having quick justice in the field when regular civilian courts were unavailable. How did they change after 9/11? Instead of a U.S. service member being accused, it would be a suspected terrorist or war criminal. President [George W.] Bush ordered military commissions that did not at all look like modern courts martial. There was one rule of evidence: If it’s relevant, it’s in. No limitations on hearsay or coerced evidence. How did Congress react? Congress added a whole bunch of crimes to the jurisdiction of military crimes [in the Military Commissions Act of 2006] that were really made up. For example, they added “material support to terrorism.” Well, material support to terrorism has never been a war crime—it’s a domestic crime we invented. They invented war crimes and they invented a new category of war criminal. Is that to say they invented war crimes to prosecute people? Basically, what the Bush administration said BOISE WEEKLY.COM
was, “It’s a war crime to fight the United States.” The administration said no one was authorized to fight us. How did this apply to your clients? One of the clients I represented [Muhammad Jawad] was charged with “Attempted Murder in Violation of the Law of War.” He was accused of throwing a hand grenade at U.S. soldiers in uniform in a combat zone. The U.S. came up with a theory that if you’re not a regular member of a national military force in uniform, then it’s a war crime for you to fight. How did you secure Jawad’s release? The evidence against Jawad was very flimsy. It was a couple of alleged self-incriminating statements we weren’t even sure he’d made. We knew that if he did make them he’d made them under highly coercive conditions and made a motion to suppress those statements, and the court granted that motion at the military commissions. How have military commissions changed under President Barack Obama? They’ve tightened up the rules of evidence, made it a little harder to get hearsay evidence in, but they didn’t address the fundamental flaws of the commissions. They did not remove the nonwar crimes. They did not remove jurisdiction to child soldiers. What’s the significance of Guantanamo? The truth about Guantanamo is that it was created specifically as a place that was designed to be beyond the law while the Bush administration was talking about spreading democracy overseas. Guantanamo came to symbolize everything that was wrong with our approach in those years. How do you feel about it all? I shouldn’t have achieved this notoriety because it only happened because the United States tortured a teenage boy in the middle of a war and charged him with some invented nonsense war crime based on tortured confession. It should have never happened. It’s just shocking that we would torture anybody, that we’d torture children, when they’re generally understood to be victims of war. It’s just a shameful chapter of American history. BOISEweekly c AUGUST 17–23, 2016 c 21

TRAVIS: THE TRUE STORY OF TRAVIS WALTON This documentary recounts one of the most well-documented UFO cases of all time. The event took place in Arizona Nov. 5, 1975 when a logging crew of 7 men encounters a craft of unknown origin. Travis disappeared for five days, igniting a firestorm of controversy aimed at the logging crew who were the last to see him in the forest. The film documents how these men struggle to make sense of the event enduring humiliation, job losses and lifelong ridicule. Come watch the film and participate in an audience Q&A after the show with Travis himself! Sept. 18th at the Egyptian Theatre downtown. Tickets on Sale at: egyptiantheatre.net.

BW KISSES BARNES AND NOBLES BY THE MALL To the handsome man who was wearing a teal obey hat that asked me “what’s on sale?” last Saturday ,I’m so sorry I walked away without asking your name, I’m a bit shy and apparently such a fool. If you get this msg, would love to grab a coffee with you. I will be back in this weekendsame place, same time?
FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Can you imagine feeling at home in the world no matter where you are? If you eventually master this art, outer circumstances won’t distort your relationship with yourself. No matter how crazy or chaotic the people around you might be, you will remain rooted in your unshakable sense of purpose; you will respond to any given situation in ways that make you both calm and alert, amused and curious, compassionate for the suffering of others and determined to do what’s best for you. If you think these are goals worth seeking, you can make dramatic progress toward them in the coming weeks. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): As I tried to meditate on your horoscope, my next-door neighbor was wielding a weed whacker to trim her lawn and the voices in my head were shouting extra loud. So I decided to drive down to the marsh to get some high-quality silence. When I arrived at the trailhead, I found an older man in ragged clothes leaning against the fence. Nearby was a grocery cart full of what I assumed were all his earthly belongings. “Doing nothing is a very difficult art,” he croaked as I slipped by him, “because you’re never really sure when you are done.” I recognized that his wisdom might be useful to you. You are, after all, in the last few days of your recharging process. It’s still a good
idea for you to lay low and be extra calm and vegetate luxuriously. But when should you rise up and leap into action again? Here’s my guess: Get one more dose of intense stillness and silence. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): My readers have a range of approaches for working with the counsel I offer. Some study the horoscopes for both their sun signs and rising signs, then create do-ityourself blends of the two. Others prefer to wait until the week is over before consulting what I’ve written. They don’t want my oracles to influence their future behavior, but enjoy evaluating their recent past in light of my analysis. Then there are the folks who read all 12 of my horoscopes. They refuse to be hemmed in by just one forecast, and want to be free to explore multiple options. I encourage you to try experiments like these in the coming days. The moment is ripe to cultivate more of your own unique strategies for using and interpreting the information you absorb—both from me and from everyone else you listen to. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Have you been drinking a lot of liquids? Are you spending extra time soaking in hot baths and swimming in bodies of water that rejuvenate you? Have you been opening your soul to raw truths that dissolve your fixations and to beauty that makes
24 c AUGUST 17–23, 2016 c BOISEweekly
you cry and to love that moves you to sing? I hope you’re reverently attending to these fluidic needs. I hope you’re giving your deepest yearnings free play and your freshest emotions lots of room to unfold. Smart, well-lubricated intimacy is a luxurious necessity, my dear. Stay very, very wet. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In my opinion, you need to bask in the glorious fury of at least one brainstorm—preferably multiple brainstorms over the course of the next two weeks. What can you do to ensure that happens? How might you generate a flood of new ideas about how to live your life and understand the nature of reality? Here are some suggestions: Read books about creativity. Hang around with original thinkers and sly provocateurs. Insert yourself into situations that will strip you of your boring certainties. And take this vow: “I hereby unleash the primal power of my liberated imagination.” VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When you were a child, did you play with imaginary friends? During your adolescence, did you nurture a fantasy relationship with a pretend boyfriend or girlfriend? Since you reached adulthood, have you ever enjoyed consorting with muses or guardian angels or ancestral spirits? If you answered yes to any of those questions, you are in a
good position to take full advantage of the subtle opportunities and cryptic invitations that are coming your way. Unexpected sources are poised to provide unlikely inspirations in unprecedented ways. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): When you were born, you already carried the seeds of gifts you would someday be able to provide—specific influences or teachings or blessings that only you, of all the people who have ever lived, could offer the world. How are you doing in your quest to fulfill this potential? Here’s what I suspect: Your seeds have been ripening slowly and surely. But in the coming months, they could ripen at a more rapid pace. Whether they actually do or not may depend on your willingness to take on more responsibilities—interesting responsibilities, to be sure— but bigger than you’re used to. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I suspect that you will soon be culminating a labor of love you’ve been nurturing and refining for many moons. How should you celebrate? Maybe with some champagne and caviar? If you’d like to include bubbly in your revels, a good choice might be 2004 Belle Epoque Rose. Its floral aroma and crispy mouth-feel rouse a sense of jubilation as they synergize the flavors of blood orange, pomegranate and strawberry. As for caviar, consider the smooth, aromatic and
elegant roe of the albino beluga sturgeon from the unpolluted areas of the Caspian Sea near Iran. Before I finish this oracle, let me also add that a better way to honor your accomplishment might be to take the money you’d spend on champagne and caviar, and instead use it as seed money for your next big project. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Some species of weeds become even more robust and entrenched as they develop resistances to the herbicides designed to eradicate them. This is one example of how fighting a problem can make the problem worse—especially if you attack too furiously or use the wrong weapons. I invite you to consider the possibility that this is a useful metaphor for you to contemplate in the coming weeks. Your desire to solve a knotty dilemma or shed a bad influence is admirable. Just make sure you choose a strategy that actually works. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your assignment, if you choose to accept it, is to compose an essay on at least one of the following themes: 1. “How I Fed and Fed My Demons Until They Gorged Themselves to Death.” 2. “How I Exploited My Nightmares in Ways That Made Me Smarter and Cuter.” 3. “How I Quietly and Heroically Transformed a Sticky Problem into a Sleek Opportunity.”
4. “How I Helped Myself by Helping Other People.” For extra credit, Capricorn—and to earn the right to trade an unholy duty for a holy one—write about all four subjects. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I suspect that in the coming months you will be drawn to wandering through the frontiers and exploring the unknown. Experimentation will come naturally. Places and situations you have previously considered to be off limits may be downright comfortable. In fact, it’s possible that you will have to escape your safety zones in order to fully be yourself. Got all that? Now here’s the kicker: In the coming weeks, everything I just described will be especially apropos for your closest relationships. Are you interested in redefining and reconfiguring the ways that togetherness works for you? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you’re playing the card game known as bridge, you’re lucky if you are dealt a hand that has no cards of a particular suit. This enables you, right from the beginning, to capture tricks using the trump suit. In other words, the lack of a certain resource gives you a distinct advantage. Let’s apply this metaphor to your immediate future, Pisces. I’m guessing that you will benefit from what may seem to be an inadequacy or deficit. An absence will be a useful asset.

MINERVA’S BREAKDOWN
LIFTWARE More than 10 million people suffer with Parkinson’s worldwide—60,000 are diagnosed with the motor neuron disease in the U.S. each year. Symptoms include rigidity, impaired coordination and tremors, the latter of which can cause tasks like eating to become nearly impossible. LiftWare is a stabilizing utensil handle that shakes 70 percent less than the user’s hand (for people with mild to moderate tremors), using motion-detector sensors, a computer $195/starter kit that distinguishes unwanted tremors from liftware.com intentional hand movements, and two motors that move the utensil attachment in the opposite direction of a tremor. Fork, spoon and soup spoon attachments are currently available for the handle, which is rechargeable and comes with a discreet carrying pouch. At $195 for the starter kit, which includes the handle and soup spoon attachment—additional attachments are $35 each—LiftWare isn’t cheap, but you can’t put a price on peace of mind. —Amy Atkins

DEAR MINERVA, Why do you think relationships aren’t lasting for the long-term in our modern age? Sincerely, —Longevity vs. Brevity
DEAR LVB, I think there are two main reasons. First, people are no longer looking to a romantic relationship or marriage as a sole means of fulfillment. The Sexual Revolution has allowed people to take a less traditional approach to relationships, which allows people to find their own path to fulfillment in such a way that a relationship now augments their lives rather than defines their lives. When it no longer augments their lives, then it can be ended. Second, people don’t feel the same pressure to work on their relationships. Many opt not to “fix” the things that are “broken,” work through problems and “for better or worse” doesn’t seem logical when it’s easier to be free. Whether this is good or bad is a matter of debate. What I will say is that I think it is absolutely vital that people have the ability to be free from a relationship. Many, many people were married until one of the people died because they were essentially trapped in a relationship where one was dependent on the other. I believe the quality of the relationship is far more important than the longevity—even if my old-fashioned girl’s heart longs for one of those milestone relationships of yore. Who wants to be miserable with someone just because of “’til death do us part”? There is no shame in seeking happiness. 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.
