EDITOR’S NOTE THE DEFINITION OF ‘AWESOME’ As classrooms around the state fill up for the start of the school year this week, we are also entering the season of hand-wringing over the abysmal performance of Idaho on almost every national measure of educational achievement. And there are organizations in this state that make it their (lucrative) business making hay of low test scores, crumbling facilities, bad graduation rates and how many Gem State kids “fail” to “go on” to college.

Idaho teachers are not to blame for these shortcomings. Nor is it the fault of their union or “greedy” school districts that ask voters to support levies. When criticism of policies like Common Core pop up in op-eds, it’s not the teachers implementing them who are at fault for whatever perceived problems they present.

Still, too often, when we talk about the real problems facing education in Idaho, teachers are either directly lumped in with the litany of woes or, by failure of recognition, included in the mess by default.

I’ve spent most of my life surrounded by educators; I’m married to one and the son of another. I’m proud of them all year long, but especially this time of year when I have the privilege of experiencing their enthusiasm for once more opening the doors to their classrooms. It’s always inspiring, even humbling, to see with what dedication and honest-to-god joy they go about preparing for their students—all this in spite of the prevailing narrative that they’re participating in a system that’s broken at best and an embarrassment at worst.

Despite the grimness peddled by some lobbyists, legislators, professional pundits and flacks, life-changing successes occur all the time throughout our education system—and they frequently do occur in spite of the work of those lobbyists, legislators, pundits and flacks.

We absolutely have problems in our educational system, but dedicated, passionate teachers willing to do much with little isn’t one of them. Maybe “proud” isn’t the best way to describe how I feel about the work of my and other Idaho teachers—how about, “in awe.”

MAIL FOR WHICH WE STAND Dear Editor, Hi BW! I grew up in Nampa, and am a big fan of BW, as this paper was often the only voice of reason around. This letter is in response to the following article: “Yes, That’s Idaho Treasurer Ron Crane Talking About Potatoes, Pledge of Allegiance at the RNC” [News/Unda’ The Rotunda, July 20, 2016].

From the state treasurer of Idaho, Ron Crane: “We are so Republican that when we say the Pledge of Allegiance, it’s, ‘To the Republicans for which it stands.’ Our entire congressional delegation is Republican, all of our statewide constitutional officers are Republican and our Legislature is Republican.”

The subtext behind these cloying statements are: Our state brooks no dissent and does not encourage diversity in thought or opinion; woe to those who have questions about the Way Things Are Done.

Despite Crane’s pandering to the contrary, Idaho does indeed have diversity, and the lack of representation in her Legislature is but a symptom of the stranglehold on free discourse.

Certainly this rhetoric is less insidious than much that has come out of the RNC, but it is worth remembering that words politicians use have meaning.

Idaho, despite the state Legislature’s roster, is a diverse state, with more than 20 percent registered as Hispanic or non-white. Race alone is not a determination of political affiliation, but with blanket political statements Crane adamantly denies the voices of thousands of Idahoans. Particularly with this election’s representatives of the Republican Party, any

claim of racial inclusion rings hollow.

Treasurer Crane would also do well to recall that one of the greatest progressive politicians in American History, Frank Church, represented Idaho as her senator for a quarter of a century.

As the mass media continues to groom the country for authoritarian-Republicrat rule, let us not forget that there is always another option: Jill Stein of the Green Party. Our voices matter, and together we can reshape our government to work for people and not corporate interests.

AN OPEN LETTER TO BUTCH OTTER Dear Gov. Otter and other Idaho Legislators, I want to take a moment to talk to you about medical cannabis, but first allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Michael Hassoldt, I am an Iraq War veteran and medically retired police officer. I suffer from PTSD and chronic pain. It has been my experience, and the experience of many of my veteran friends, that currently available pharmaceutical options are both inadequate and dangerous.

I have been on and off opioid pain medications for seven years, I am 34 years old and recently began needing a cane to assist in my ability to walk without falling down due to nerve damage from the spine injuries I sustained during my service to this nation.

Every night when I go to bed I wonder if I will wake up or if my pain meds will finally kill me. Opioids are dangerous, but for decades have been nearly

the only option for chronic pain sufferers. But that is changing.

New studies have shown that cannabis is effective in treating pain, as well as posttraumatic stress and many other ailments for which Big Pharma only has dangerous answers. I can tell you without a doubt from my time as a police officer that pot is much less dangerous than alcohol and, while I have never smoked it myself because of my desire to stay within the law, I would like the option to at least see if it could be a safe alternative for me as opposed to the lethal opioid medications I currently take, which kill so many people every single year.

Each morning I wake up, I count it as a blessing. It is a blessing to be able to wake up in the beautiful state of Idaho, to be able to greet my smiling 3-year-old daughter after I hobble out of bed. I want to keep on receiving those blessings, but I fear that managing my condition with the currently available options will one day kill me.

Please don’t let old stigmas keep this vital new opportunity from our local veteran community (and others), so many of us are suffering and could benefit from the safer alternative that is medical cannabis.

I write this letter in hopes that you all will do the right thing here but please keep in mind that if you choose not to do the right thing, the only option people like me have is to vote against you as singleissue voters.

I naturally lean to the right side of the political spectrum, but if this policy does not change soon then I foresee myself becoming a single-issue voter on this problem until it is solved. I will do what I can do to raise awareness and take as many people with me to the other side of the political house as possible until this is fixed.

NEWS THE OTHER ELECTION

Boise School Board candidates ditch rancor for civility, focus on issues in crucial campaign This striking image of Kenyan refugee Ramla, 18, is part of Stronger Shines the Light Inside.

MUCH-ANTICIPATED REFUGEE EXHIBITION READY FOR DOWNTOWN BOISE INSTALLATIONS In a few days, downtown Boise will play host to a provocative three-location exhibition of the faces of refugees who call Idaho home.

“I’m excited and anxious, and surprisingly not too tired,” said photographer Angie Smith, whose work, under the project title Stronger Shines the Light Inside, will pop up Sept. 1 at three prominent Boise locations. The work has been made possible, in large part, thanks to a grant from the Boise City Department of Arts and History.

“The idea came to me five or six years ago while visiting Boise,” said Smith, whose roots in Boise go back three generations and include her grandfather, who for many years operated Riley’s clothing store on Eighth and Bannock streets.

“More and more, I was impressed by its growing diversity. People from every corner of the world,” she told Boise Weekly in a December 2015 interview about her photo project.

In the months leading up to the Sept. 1 exhibition—which includes large installations in front of Boise City Hall, the Grove Plaza and 10th and Bannock streets—the issue of refugees has become a national political and cultural flashpoint, including in Idaho.

For starters, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has not been shy with his fiery anti-refugee rhetoric. In the Magic Valley, anti-refugee activists have spread a string of falsehoods in the wake of an assault on a girl at a Twin Falls apartment complex. Earlier this year, the Idaho Statehouse saw a pro-refugee rally on the steps of the Capitol one day and an anti-refugee meeting inside the Capitol on another day, the latter which was attended by about a dozen Idaho legislators. All the more reasons, said Smith, for her exhibition of positive images of refugees to be displayed on the streets of Boise.

“Among the many things I’ve learned is how important it is for Idahoans to 7 extend their reach beyond an initial greeting,” she said. “Almost to the per6 c AUGUST 24–30, 2016 c BOISEweekly

GEORGE PRENTICE This may be the election we were looking for: issue-driven, non-partisan and, above all, civil.

“There are some great candidates out there, and this is a pretty different kind of race, isn’t it?” asked Dave Wagers, president of Idaho Candy Company and the only Boise School Board incumbent running for re-election. “I’ve got nothing bad to say about my opponents.”

For the record, neither did candidates Beth Oppenheimer and Monica Walker.

Not that there isn’t plenty at stake. For starters, more than 26,000 students are beginning another school year. The Boise School District employs more than 4,300 people and the district’s 2016-2017 budget is $214.3 million. Though there are 103,799 registered voters in the Boise School District, school board elections have seen abysmally low voter turnout. In 2014, about 6 percent of voters went to the polls. The previous two elections saw 1.5 and 1.1 percent turnout.

And it’s a odd school-board election day: Tuesday, Sept. 6, which is the day after Labor Day, voters will be asked to cast a ballot at one of 30 elementary schools, eight junior high schools, four high schools or the district’s administrative offices (8169 W. Victory Road).

Wagers, appointed to the board in January 2015 to serve the remaining 20 months of outgoing board member Joan Boren’s term, has three children in schools this fall and a fourth, a recent graduate from Boise High, is in college.

“I’m Boise through-and-through. My mom even taught in the Boise School District,” Wagers said. “It’s all about improving our community one kid at a time.”

Oppenheimer also has strong ties to Boise and education, and she has one of the most recognizable names in the Treasure Valley.

“But my husband and I are often confused with the other Oppenheimers” she said, referring to the family behind the Boise-based Oppenheimer Companies, Inc. “We joke that we’re the nonprofit Oppenheimers.”

Oppenheimer is executive director of the Idaho Association for the Education of Young Children and her husband is government relations director for the Idaho Conservation League. Their youngest daughter begins fourth grade this fall at

THE HIGH COST OF GOING BACK TO SCHOOL Amount spent on back-to-school shopping: $27.3 billion

Photographer Angie Smith is behind the lens of Stronger Shines the Light Inside.

GRE TA GARDNER With school bells already ringing across Idaho, Jill Walker—a mother of five—can attest to another tell-tale sound of August: a cash register ringing up the ever-increasing cost of school supplies. Her kids beamed as they filled their mother’s cart with binders, backpacks and a generous supply of fruit-scented markers.

“Even my younger ones were old enough to start school this year,” said Walker.

She’s even purchasing supplies for children other than her own this year.

“We have to supply the classrooms because the [charter] school doesn’t get the funding like public schools do. Just for her class alone, we were assigned five extra boxes of crayons,” Walker added.

One particularly hot August afternoon, Walker joined dozens of other parents and children scavenging the aisles of a Boise Target store.

Melissa, a Boise teenager, beginning her freshman year in high school, was filling her own basket.

“One of my teachers is requiring 25 dividers just for one class,” she said.

A survey conducted by the National Retail Federation estimates the average U.S. family will shell out $674 on supplies this fall.

But for families who struggle to afford the required supplies, the Boise school district hosts an S.O.S., or “Sharing Of Supplies” program, which encourages students to purchase extra supplies and drop them off at their principal’s office.

The Salvation Army of Treasure Valley partnered with Fred Meyer, ShopKo and other local businesses for its annual school supply drive, aiming to reduce back-to-school sticker shock for families who access services from the Salvation Army and local homeless shelters.

“I can remember, as a kid, that first day back to school when everyone is lined up with their new backpacks and supplies,” said Hillary Betz, director of development for Salvation Army of Treasure Valley. “There’s so much excitement and nervousness, and if you’re the one kid who doesn’t have a backpack or other necessary supplies, it can make you feel less confident.”

Betz said the Salvation Army program makes a particularly big difference for students in middle school or high school.

“Those prices for higher grades are always increasing, especially as many are preparing for college and other post-secondary education,” said Betz. “We provide for elementary education as well, but we really try to make a difference for those middle- and high-school students.”

The Boise Rescue Mission also hosts a fund drive, where a donation of $21.52 can provide a child with a backpack and supplies. The Boise School District officially lists backpacks

as “optional,” but parents and students know a backpack is practically essential, even though they can be pricey.

“Those backpacks are important for hauling supplies back and forth, and also for holding lunches and extra layers of clothes,” Betz said.

At Idaho’s colleges and universities, more expensive items are must-haves.

“Whether it’s a laptop for class or a minifridge for the dorm, college simply costs more,” said NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay.

Julia Kroger is a senior math major at Boise State University, and she has particular insight on the high cost of going back to school. She’s also a cashier at the Boise State bookstore.

“Some books are at least $100,” she said, pointing to a textbook in one student’s basket.

“That one psychology book he’s about to buy is only available here [at the bookstore], and it starts at $80. Also, students can’t rent it and we don’t buy it back, either.”

Kroger said prices were especially high during “rush,” which she described as the “two-week period starting the week before class starts and during the first week of class.”

“The publishers just mark up the prices,” she said.

would like to see a permanent, expanded pre-K program.

“We can’t guarantee that we’re going to have the same school board, the same mayor or city council down the road. We’ve got to make sure that the funding is stable and secure before we do anything else,” said Oppenheimer.

“Here’s what has to happen: Local communities have to put more pressure on state legislators for statewide funding of pre-K.”

Walker said the pilot program would be welcomed with open arms in other Boise neighborhoods.

“I know if it were offered elsewhere, a lot of people would take advantage of it,” she said. “The Boise School District is really leading the pack on this issue.”

Wagers believes Boise is in a unique position to support pre-K. “Quite frankly, Boise has better funding that a

lot of other Idaho districts,” he said. “We need to lead the state. That’s why I’ve pushed our board to be a greater part of the Idaho School Board Association.”

Wagers will first have to meet the electoral challenge of Oppenheimer and Walker.

“My opponents are pretty great ladies, and they want to help kids as much as I do,” Wagers said. “You’ll never hear me say anything negative about them.”

son, those refugees who found success had someone reach out to help that 6 refugee in their first year in Boise. It was someone who said, ‘Come with me; let me show you something special.’”

Smith and a team of volunteers will begin installing Stronger Shines the Light Inside on Wednesday, Aug. 31, with the first piece slated to go up at Boise City Hall.

“We’re installing three large fence-panels, each about 12 feet long and 6 feet high, in a triangular shape. Then, we’ll cover the fencing with huge vinyl sheets with color images of the refugees. The display will also have stories about the people you’ll see,” she said, adding each installation should take a couple of hours.

Next, the team will move to 10th and Bannock streets, where fencing frames the stillunder-construction Hyatt Place Hotel.

“That’s where you’ll see 15 more images on vinyl—each one is about 100 feet long,” said Smith. “Then, we’ll head over to the Grove Plaza in the afternoon and put up a third unique exhibition of 15 more images. It should be a pretty full day.”

Timed to coincide with First Thursday, all the exhibitions will be open for public viewing Sept.

1 and continue through Tuesday, Nov. 1. An opening night public reception will be hosted at The Linen Building, beginning at 7 p.m.

“We’ll have music, dance and poetry,” said Smith. “One of the highlights will be students from Hillside Elementary. Some Boise natives have paired up with refugees and they’ll be sharing some of the poetry that they’ve written together.”

Understanding that harmony is not necessarily on some Idahoans’ agenda, Smith said she has already had separate conversations with the Boise mayor’s office and Boise Police Department about providing proper security for the exhibition.

“The exhibit has a very strong message,” she said. “And the best way to protect something like this is to come together as a community and say, ‘We’re vigilant. This is what we’re about. It’s not about hate. It’s about all of us.’”

WESTERN IDAHO FAIR

KRISHNA’S BIRTHDAY/JANMASHTAMI

JIM JEFFERIES AT THE MORRISON CENTER

Who’s the fairest of them all? Well, there are certainly fairs and festivals aplenty in every corner of Idaho, but the Western Idaho Fair is still the Shangri-La for nearly 250,000 attendees each August.

We love the midway, animals and insane food choices (fried peaches, anyone?); and each year, we discover something that you can only spot at the fair. For example there’s the “How to Give a Chicken a Bath” demonstration at the Small Animal Building; The “Iron Flower Arranger” competition (think Iron Chef with petunias) in Western Town; and nothing gives us a greater thrill than an antique tractor display outside of the Expo Building.

This year’s “blast from the past” Grandstand performers include Pat Benatar and Foreigner.

All day; $9 for adults, $6 for youth. Expo Idaho, 5610 Glenwood St., Garden City, 208-297-5650, sharemyfair.com.

In May, the Hare Krishna Temple reopened as the Boise Hare Krishna Temple and Vedic Cultural Center. During a renovation, the temple complex had doubled in size, and had added a library of Vedic literature, a commercial kitchen, two performance stages and a 3,000-foot park. To celebrate, the temple threw a big bash with loads of food, dancing and a ribbon cutting.

Swing by the new cultural center Thursday, Aug. 25, for Krishna’s birthday, known as Janmashtami. Krishna is one of Hinduism’s most important figures: the absolute incarnation of Lord Vishnu, he’s the religion’s supreme being, a prankster, a model lover and generally the bees knees. Swing by the cultural center for a celebration of his birth with a buffet of Indian food, dance, music, drama—and the unveiling of the House of 10,000 Flowers.

6:45-10 p.m., FREE. Boise Hare Krishna Cultural Center, 2470 W. Boise Ave., 208-344-4247, boisetemple.org.

A few minutes into Jim Jeffries’ Netflix special Freedumb (released July 1), the Australian stand-up comic has a bit about how a reporter, incensed with Jefferies’ jokes about Bill Cosby, wrote an article with the headline “You Can Not Joke About Rape.”

“Now, I hate this, and I’ll tell you why” Jefferies tells his audience. “My whole skill in life is being able to say horrible things and still seem likeable.” It’s funny, but it’s also insightful.

Jefferies jokes about subjects other comics avoid, but he also turns the knife inward, spilling his feelings about politics, kids, sex and everything else—even if makes him look like an asshole. While he’s not apologetic, he will remind audiences he’s telling jokes, not giving a Ted Talk. What he doesn’t need to remind them of is how damn funny he is.

8 p.m., $40-$50. Morrison Center, 2201 Cesar Chavez Lane, 208-426-1110, morrisoncenter.com.

BOISE PUBLIC LIBRARY COMIC CON As Theodor Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss, once said: “Words and pictures are yin and yang. Married, they produce a progeny more interesting than either parent.” There’s no arguing with the good doctor, and we also think comics creators—as well as animators, anime artists and sci-fi authors—are pretty interesting, too.

Get your fill of comics and comics culture at the fourth annual Boise Public Library Comic Con, featuring panel discussions, a costume contest and comic-themed activities at the Main Library.

In keeping with the current craze, the con will also include superhero and Pokemon programs. About 50 writers and illustrators of will set up shop in Artist’s Alley at the BPL warehouse across the street, and attendees can peruse the comic book and science fiction sale hosted by the Friends of the Boise Public Library.

LOUNGE ON FIRE, AUG. 24 In honor of Boise State Day, local band Lounge on Fire will bring its Bronco-born “steel cut, blackened and peppered, rock-hopped, hip-dipped, cock-eyed, funk-trunked, flat-on-your-back, pants-offdance-off” sound to the Alive After Five stage Wednesday, Aug. 24.

If that self-applied descriptor sounds like a mouthful, it’s because Lounge on Fire specializes in spitfire lyrics delivered at rap/scat speed. Led by singer Nathan Norton, whose vocal timbre evokes Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse and no less than David Byrne of Talking Heads, Lounge on Fire’s oeuvre is equally eclectic.

Tracks such as “Like a Cockaroach” feature a salsa beat punctuated by tight brass and sax work in a “freak funk” melange, while “Super Heavy Mom Vibes” is a quirky jam that saunters on as if mommy dearest cut her post-nap pinot gris with a valium or three.

I LOVE THE ’90S TOUR, OUTLAW FIELD, AUG. 25 If you miss your MTV—you know, back when it was actual “music television”—Outlaw Field at the Idaho Botanical Garden is about to become a portal to those simpler times when Pepsi was clear, colors were hyper and the bigger the pants, the better.

The good old days return with the I Love the ’90s Tour, descending on Boise Thursday, Aug. 25, with an almost unbelievable lineup of the decade’s most memorable acts, including: Vanilla Ice, Salt N Pepa with DJ Spinderella, Color Me Badd, Tone Loc, Rob Base and Young MC. Sure, the neon excesses of the era make for easy latter-day mockery, but between those six aforementioned acts, we’re talking about at least 12 American Music Awards wins or nominations, no fewer than nine Grammy nods or wins, and a combined number of records sold that we don’t have time or inclination to calculate.

Laugh all you want about rapper pants and flat-top fades, but to alter a phrase from Rob Base, “It takes six to make a thing go right.”

Boise Dance Co-op is kicking it up a notch.

COMING SOON: FEETS OF FANCY Summer is nearly at an end but, as things begin to cool down, Boise’s dance community is heating up. On Friday, Aug. 26, and Saturday, Aug. 27, the Boise Dance Co-op, a collective of dancers, musicians and choreographers from around the Treasure Valley, kicks it up a notch with Anno V at the Esther Simplot Performing Arts Academy.

More live music has been incorporated into the program and, this year, audiences will be treated to the talents of musicians Rebecca Baranco, Aubrie Church, Critter Soup, MahaVia and Leta Neustaedter along with the works of local choreographers Frank Affrunti, Kelli Brown, Lauren Edson (LED), Marla Hansen (Idaho Dance Theatre), Sayoko Knode, Chris Mackenthun, Katie Ponozzo and Lydia SaloskyBasquill (Project Flux), as well as works by special guest choreographers Jeffrey Scott Bailey and Company C’s Charles Anderson. Tickets are $20-$30 and available at boisedancecoop.org.

P.S. If after watching Anno V, inspiration hits, advance-ticket holders get in free to Salsa Idaho’s Hot August Salsa on Saturday, Aug. 27, at the Knitting Factory.

Because apparently she can’t sit still, LED’s captivating co-founder/choreographer/ dancer Lauren Edson and former Trey McIntyre Project/current kick-ass dancer Brett Perry will perform Chamber Dances with music by the incredible Dave Eggar, world-renowned cellist and Surel’s Place artist-in-residence for August, on Friday Aug. 26 at Visual Arts Collective.

Eggar, who has performed with everyone from Queen Bey to Tony Bennett, will perform works by Bach, Faure, Gershwin, Kodaly, Ravel and Villa-Lobos, accompanied by Mario Diaz on classical guitar and Heather Mastel-Lipson on violin. Tickets are $12 adv., $15 door. Visit surelsplace.org/eggar for tickets and info.

Just because the weekend is over, doesn’t mean the dancing ends. Monday, Aug. 29 is the first day of the 2016 fall session of Dance for Parkinson’s Idaho, which was launched by Ballet Idaho principal dancer Elizabeth Keller.

The national Dance for Parkinson’s program was developed to help those with Parkinson’s and others with limited mobility through music, dance and movement. The free classes will now be available in Eagle as well as Boise. Visit danceforparkinsonsidaho.org for more.

Car Seat Headrest’s Will Toledo confirms critics’ claims with Teens of Denial AMY ATKINS Oh, the internet. It’s the good intention-paved path for some; the yellow-bricked road for others. As a route to success, it’s full of ruts, detours and millions of other travelers all trying to reach the same destination. With hard work, luck or both, it can be a journey worth taking. Just ask musician Will Toledo, whose debut studio album Teens of Denial (Matador, May 2016) may be his introductory release, but it’s certainly not his first.

At the ripe old age of 23, Toledo has recorded and released 13 albums. That’s not a typo. He has released 13 albums. What’s more, Toledo has produced 13 albums of innovative, addictive tracks, some of which Rolling Stone described as “impressive” and “yearning.”

The man who performs under the moniker Car Seat Headrest was young when he began writing, playing and recording what would evolve into songs The New Yorker called “so well formed, with such a divine lilt and of such sturdy beauty,” but he wasn’t a toddler. He was just prolific and driven. In May 2010, he self-released the simply titled 1 on his Bandcamp page (carseatheadrest. bandcamp.com). In June, he released 2. In July it was 3, in August it was 4 and Toledo finished off the year in December with Little Pieces Of Paper With “No” Written On Them. Toledo released two albums in 2011, two in 2012, one in 2013 and one in 2014. His music then caught the ear of Matador Records’ co-owner Chris Lombardi and, in October 2015, the renowned independent label released Teens of Style, 11 re-recorded Car Seat Headrest tracks. The album was met with a great deal of positive response—but his 2016 follow up,Teens of Denial, added nitro to Toledo’s tank.

“The speed at which it jumped from one level to the next is striking,” Toledo said. “It was something I’d definitely been working towards for a while. Moving up to it was very slow work—I can count the number of followers I was gaining month-to-month on one hand. Basically, between Teens of Style and Teens of Denial, it completely made that jump.”

SCREEN WERNER IN THE WORLD IS HE TAKING US NOW? Werner Herzog’s Lo and Behold GEORGE PRENTICE If cinema hadn’t invented the mad genius filmmaker Werner Herzog, Saturday Night Live would have. Herzog has been lampooned by many, though never better than by himself— The Simpsons, American Dad and Parks & Rec for starters—and when Herzog starts waxing about something ethereal, it’s nearly impossible not to snicker at his intense, guttural, constipated strain of narration.

“Look into the eyes of a chicken, and you’ll see real stupidity,” Herzog once told himself in 2002’s Herzog on Herzog. “It is a bottomless stupidity; a fiendish stupidity.”

SNL’s “Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey” couldn’t have said it better.

Herzog has directed as many amazing documentaries (Cave of Forgotten Dreams, Into the Abyss) as fiction narratives (Aguirre, The Wrath of God; Nosferatu the Vampyre) but as the late Roger Ebert once said, “Even his failures are spectacular.”

I must admit to some glee as I approached Herzog’s latest film, Lo and Behold: Reveries of the Connected World, a dive into our internetshackled addiction to a virtual existence. The thought of Herzog exploring what he calls the “ecstatic truths and falsehoods of the web” will no doubt cause celebration among Herzog acolytes. However, general audiences who may be a bit more benign about Herzog’s contribution to modern cinema should approach this film with equal parts sobriety, vigilance and frivolity.

Dividing Lo and Behold into 10 chapters, Herzog explores the dangers of the internet by introducing the family of a car crash victim whose gruesome photos still linger on the web a decade after the tragedy. Moments later, Herzog lightens the mood by introducing us to some scientists who have perfected soccerplaying robots they insist could challenge the best footballers on the planet.

Then, in perhaps the most bizarre chapter of Lo and Behold, Herzog visits Green Bank, W.V., (population 143), which is an internetfree corner of Appalachia. By law, Green Bank BOISE WEEKLY.COM

CITIZEN DR. ADRIA DAVID AND VALERIE UHLORN Back to school and the boo-hoo, yahoo room GEORGE PRENTICE

Dr. Adria David and Valerie Uhlorn are among the Boise School District’s newest elementary school principals. While their personal and professional paths couldn’t be more different, they share an unbridled enthusiasm for the new school year and optimism for the kids who will walk through the doors of Amity and Lowell elementary schools on Wednesday, Aug. 24.

Can you trace your choice to be an educator to a particular moment?

David: I had a pretty difficult childhood.

There was a time that my mother, who had me when she was very young, took us to Mexico to escape a pretty bad situation. Even when we returned to Oregon, we went into hiding. For a while, we were just trying to survive. I struggled.

I remember when I was in fifth grade I overheard a teacher tell another: “I don’t know why she tries so hard. Look at her family. She’s not going to amount to much.” That will always stick with me.

That may have defeated another person.

David: I still struggled. I had to live on my own and raise my younger brother, but my educators at Eastern Oregon State opened my eyes to a whole new world.

This is your 19th year as an educator, yes?

David: I worked in Caldwell, then the Vallivue School District. I was fortunate to work for the Idaho State Department of Education, and now I’m so blessed to be the new principal at Lowell.

Uhlorn: You’re story is amazing, Adria.

David: Everybody has a story.

Uhlorn: Well, my story started in Seattle. I’m the daughter of a teacher.

Was she ever your teacher?

Uhlorn: No, but get this: We once taught in side-by-side classrooms. Which is funny, because she discouraged me from being a teacher.

You initially took a different path?

Uhlorn: I majored in political science and prelaw and worked for the Ada County prosecutor’s office, assuming I’d go to law school. But I wanted to have more of an impact on people’s lives. I went back to school and got my master’s in special ed. I worked at Lowell Scott Middle School, Hawthorne and Trail Wind elementary.

20 c AUGUST 24–30, 2016 c BOISEweekly

You both must recognize that a child of a teacher or a principal has to share his or her parent with a lot of other children.

David: You’ve got to work on a balance between work and family. That’s something that’s very special about this district: encouraging that balance and the importance of family.

Uhlorn: My mother-in-law was diagnosed with stage four cancer last year. One of our area directors pulled me aside and said, “Whatever you need. Family comes first.” Earlier this week, I was in a meeting when I got a phone call that my 1-year-old was sick. No one batted an eye.

They said, “We can wait. You’re a mom once.”

Tell me about your schools’ neighborhoods.

David: In Lowell’s neighborhood, people are walking or riding their bikes everywhere.

And they’re always greeting one another.

Uhlorn: Amity’s neighborhood is lovely, pretty middle-class with tons of parent support.

Is there still a magic that surrounds the first day of school?

Uhlorn: I can’t wait. Absolutely nothing is booked so I can spend the day greeting everyone.

David: Our PTA will hold something called “coffee on the courtyard” for the parents.

Uhlorn: We have the “boo-hoo, yahoo” room.

Wait a minute—what?

Uhlorn: We have a separate room, the “boohoo, yahoo” room,” and about 15 minutes after kindergarten starts, we have to start moving the parents out. So, we say, let’s head to “boo-hoo, yahoo” where there’s coffee and donuts. At some point, we have to start celebrating.

David: That sounds like coffee in the courtyard; you have to let them know it’s OK to let go.

When do you start your school day?

Uhlorn: I’m up at 5:30 to the gym and back home before the boys wake up.

David: I’m up at 4:30 or 5. I’m lucky because, since my girls have moved out, I’ve turned one of their bedrooms into a workout room.

And your school day might go as long as…

David: As long as it needs to be.

WINESIPPER PINOT GRIS/PINOT GRIGIO THROWDOWN It translates as gray Pinot and they call it Grigio in Italy, Gris in France. In other parts of the world the name often depends on the winemaker’s heritage or the style of a region. Pinot Grigio is typically picked a little earlier, resulting in a leaner style, though there are exceptions.

We blind tasted three of each with Northwest Pinot Gris the winner. Here are the panel’s top picks: 2014 LIVIO FELLUGA PINOT GRIGIO, $30 Made with grapes from hillside vineyards in the region of Friuli, this is Italian Pinot Grigio at its best. Opens with heady aromas of savory melon, orange blossom, papaya, tangy lime zest, mineral and ginger. The flavors are equally rich, offering tangerine, apricot and quince with hints of almond and stone. Tangy citrus adds balance to the silky, creamy finish.

2015 ROCK POINT PINOT GRIS, $15 This Oregon entry hails not from Willamette, but from the Rogue River Valley. There is an intriguing bit of dusty slate to the green apple and tropical fruit aromas. The palate is filled with layers of rich honeyed peach, pear and apple, all beautifully balanced by crisp citrus. A touch of lemon zest comes through on the finish. A great buy on a delicious wine.

2015 ROSS ANDREW PINOT GRIS, $20 Another Northwest winner, this one using cold climate fruit from a vineyard 1,370 feet above the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge. The result is a crisp and refreshing white with baked apple and pink grapefruit aromas. The flavors are a mix of ripe apple, papaya and lime, with racy acidity on the lively finish.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the coming weeks, I hope you won’t scream curses at the rain, demanding that it stop falling on you. Similarly, I suggest you refrain from punching walls that seem to be hemming you in, and I beg you not to spit into the wind when it’s blowing in your face. Here’s an oracle about how to avoid counterproductive behavior like that: The near future will bring you useful challenges and uncanny blessings if you’re willing to consider the possibility that everything coming your way will in some sense be an opportunity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Oh how I wish you might receive the grace of being pampered and nurtured and entertained and prayed for. I’d love for you to assemble a throng of no-stringsattached caretakers who would devote themselves to stoking your healing and delight. Maybe they’d sing to you as they gave you a manicure and massaged your feet and paid your bills. Perhaps they would cook you a gourmet meal and clean your house as they told you stories about how beautiful you are and all the great things you’re going to do in the future. Is it possible to arrange something like that even on a modest scale? You’re in a phase of your cycle when you most need this kind of doting attention—and when you have the greatest power to make it happen.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I invite you to dream about your true home… your sweet, energizing, love-strong home… the home where you can be high and deep, robust and tender, flexible and rigorous… the home where you are the person that you promised yourself you could be. To stimulate and enhance your brainstorms about your true home, experiment with the following activities: Feed your roots… do maintenance work on your power spot… cherish and foster your sources… and refine the magic that makes you feel free.

Can you handle one more set of tasks designed to enhance your domestic bliss? Tend to your web of close allies… take care of what takes care of you… and adore the intimate connections that serve as your foundation.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): It’ll be one of those rapid-fire, adjust-on-the-fly, think-on-your-feet, go-with-your-gut times for you—a head-spinning, endorphin-generating, eye-pleasing, intelligenceboosting phase when you will have opportunities to relinquish your attachments to status quos that don’t serve you. Got all that, Cancerian? There’ll be a lot of stimuli to absorb and integrate— and luckily for you, absorbing and integrating a lot of stimuli will be your specialty. I’m confident of your ability to get the most of upcoming encounters with cute provocations,

pleasant agitation, and useful unpredictability. One more tip: Be vigilant and amused as you follow the ever-shifting sweet spot.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): At the risk of asking too much and pushing too hard, my Guerrilla Prayer Warriors have been begging God to send you some major financial mojo. These fierce supplicants have even gone so far as to suggest to the Supreme Being that maybe She could help you win the lottery or find a roll of big bills lying in the gutter or be granted a magic wish by an unexpected benefactor. “Whatever works!” is their mantra. Looking at the astrological omens, I’m not sure that the Prayer Warriors’ extreme attempts will be effective. But the possibility that they will be is definitely greater than usual. To boost your odds, I suggest you get more organized and better educated about your money matters. Set a clear intention about the changes you’d like to put in motion during the next ten months.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Suggested experiments: 1. Take a vow that from now on you won’t hide your beauty. 2. Strike a deal with your inner king or inner queen, guaranteeing that this regal part of gets regular free expression.

3. Converse with your Future Self about how the two of you might collaborate to fully unleash the

refined potency of your emotional intelligence. 4. In meditations and dreams, ask your ancestors how you can more completely access and activate your dormant potentials.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I hope you are not forlorn, shivery, puzzled or obsessive right now— unless being in such a state will mobilize you to instigate the overdue transformations you have been evading. If that’s the case, I hope you are forlorn, shivery, puzzled and obsessive. Feelings like those may be the perfect fuel—the highoctane motivation that will launch your personal renaissance. I don’t often offer this counsel, Libra, so I advise you to take full advantage: Now is one of the rare times when your so-called negative emotions can catalyze redemption.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): From what I can tell, your vigor is peaking. In recent weeks, you have been sturdy, hearty, stout, and substantial. I expect this surge of strength to intensify in the near future—even as it becomes more fluid and supple. In fact, I expect that your waxing power will teach you new secrets about how to wield your power intelligently. You may break your previous records for compassionate courage and sensitive toughness. Here’s the best news of all: You’re likely to be dynamic about bestowing practical

love on the people and animal and things that are important to you.

new invitations. Open yourself up wherever you have closed down.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The odds are higher than usual that you will be offered a boost or promotion in the coming weeks.

This development is especially likely to occur in the job you’re doing or the career plans you’ve been pursuing. It could also be a factor at work in your spiritual life. You may discover a new teacher or teaching that could lift you to the next phase of your inner quest. There’s even a chance that you’ll get an upgrade on both fronts. So it’s probably a good time to check on whether you’re harboring any obstacles to success. If you find that you are, DESTROY THOSE RANCID OLD MENTAL BLOCKS WITH A BOLT OF PSYCHIC LIGHTNING.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Are any of your allies acting like they’ve forgotten their true purpose? If so, you have the power to gently awaken them from their trances and help them re-focus. Is it possible you have become a bit too susceptible to the influences of people whose opinions shouldn’t really matter that much to you? If so, now is a good time to correct that aberration. Are you aware of having fallen under the sway of trendy ideas or faddish emotions that are distorting your relationship with your primal sources? If so, you are hereby authorized to free yourself from their hold on you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The cosmos seems to be warming up to your charms. The stinginess it displayed toward you for a while is giving way to a more generous approach. To take advantage of this welcome development, you should shed any fear-based beliefs you may have adopted during the recent shrinkage. For instance, it’s possible you’ve begun to entertain the theory that the game of life is rigged against you, or that it is inherently hard to play. Get rid of those ideas. They’re not true, and clinging to them would limit the game of life’s power to bring you

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Now would be a favorable time to reveal that you are in fact a gay socialist witch who believes good poetry provides a more reliable way to understand reality than the opinions of media pundits—unless, of course, you are not a gay socialist witch, etc., in which case you shouldn’t say you are. But I do advise you to consider disclosing as much as possible of your true nature to anyone with whom you plan to be intimately linked in the future and who is missing important information about you. It’s high time to experiment with being more completely yourself.

DIVINE MISS M, I married a man with adult children. For the first few years we celebrated every holiday and birthday. But as time went on his children stopped giving birthday gifts to us (I never expected any) and stopped doing anything for him on Father’s Day. Rarely do they even send a card. Instead he may get a brief text. The only time these events are acknowledged is if I put an event together and pay for everything. The kicker is they still, as adults, expect birthday gifts and they always celebrate their mother’s birthday and Mother’s Day. Looking for advice on how to be gracious and not look like total jerks when the gift giving stops!

Sincerely, —Can’t Have Your Cake and Eat it Too

$24.95 iKross.com can accommodate a tight fit for any sized smartphone—or even a tablet.

No tools are necessary because the iKross’s adjustable-twist mount fits snugly into any cup holder. iKross has been in the gadget accessory biz for years, manufacturing Bluetooth transmitters, headphones and gaming headsets. But its most popular items have been car mounting devices for smartphones. And this one takes the prize.

FROM THE BW POLL VAULT

DEAR CAN’T, Has your husband mentioned any tension in his relationships with his children? If there are unresolved issues around their childhood it could account for the behavior. Are his adult children struggling financially? Often a lack of gift giving is economically driven versus a lack of thoughtfulness. No one should expect to receive gifts. However, I believe that we give gifts because it is in our hearts to do so, not because it is a requirement or expectation. The desire to give should not be guided by the expectation to receive. If you and your husband decide to cease giving, be straightforward as to the reasons why and that—whether they mean to or not—they are hurting their father’s feelings. Good luck.
