EDITOR’S NOTE MEET ‘DR. PSYCHO,’ GET DETAILS ON THE HYDE PARK STREET FAIR AND FIND OUT WHAT’S HOT AT THE TORONTO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL Occasionally we look to our sister papers in the Association of Alternative Newsmedia for content Boiseans wouldn’t otherwise see. This week we found a stellar piece of reporting from the Pacific Northwest Inlander in Spokane, Wash. that we couldn’t resist picking up.

Reporter Jake Thomas dug deep into a bizarre case in northern Idaho that briefly made headlines here in the capital but soon faded. It concerns Dr. Rafael Beier, a 62-year-old physician who served economically depressed areas, including the Silver Valley northeast of Coeur d’Alene.

Outwardly, Beier was a compassionate medical man strong in his Christian faith. After night fell, however, he shed his buttoned-down exterior and turned into “Dr. Psycho,” as the dancers at Stateline Showgirls in Post Falls came to call him.

With his prescription pad in hand, he pushed pills to the dancers as well as members of the small community. His life turned even more chaotic as he entered into a relationship with one Showgirls employee in her 20s.

Find out how Beier’s descent ended and what’s next for the doctor-turned-drug dealer on Page 6.

OPINION

4 c SEPTEMBER 14–20, 2016 c BOISEweekly

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

OPINION FROM THE FAR MARGINS The train to Nampa NICOLE LEFAVOUR I recently drove past the parking lot that materializes in the desert to the west of our city.

Every day, as people commute from Nampa to Meridian or Boise and back again, it appears.

I’ve watched a thousand lives ticking away there—every minute an amount of productivity lost, time wasted, life expended. The arterials and interstates of rural Western cities are what economists might call opportunity cost wastelands.

All over the world, people read the newspaper; write letters; Skype or talk with family; savor a novel or magazine; write a song or sonnet; plan weddings; write code; and design patentable bits of technology, devices and machines—while they commute to work. It’s that other forgotten reason public transportation makes economic sense for a state hoping to excel economically. People gain valuable time away from family and work.

But we Westerners love our cars. SUVs are the mobile castles of the affluent. They’re slick, clean, personal private space with high-definition surround sound, precise air conditioning, customizable heating and entertainment centers.

For the few who can afford them, the price of gas is insignificant, even at that highest $4-pergallon price point—a price we’ll most certainly be paying once again as world politics explode and presidential candidates continue to circulate ideas for boots-on-the-ground wars in the Middle East.

Of course, most of us don’t have cars we wish we could spend hours in. We suffer the heat or cold and drive something more humble. We feel pain when we have to fill a tank at $3 a gallon.

The $50 tanks of gas we bought two years ago made us rethink our driving and how costly our jobs were, our shopping trips or our visits to relatives or restaurants or places around the valley that required a drive. A lack of efficient, affordable public transportation stifles an economy.

People from Los Angeles or the Bay Area might laugh when they hear how short the commute is in the Treasure Valley. What is 30 minutes? An hour when there’s an accident? But usable public transit is about more than time.

In areas where public transportation exists and is frequent, dense and usable, obesity rates drop as people walk a few blocks each day to buses or light rail stations. Even that small amount of exercise has impacts on health, physical and mental. People engage more with their communities. They mix across religion and economic class, opening the possibility that a city can reduce tensions and create a new forum for the exchange of ideas. This is fertile ground for innovation.

Some of Idaho’s Republican leaders have been strong proponents of funding public transportation. The House of Representatives however, unBOISE WEEKLY.COM

der the considerable influence of Majority Leader Mike Moyle, has refused to allow progress on letting urban areas vote to tax themselves to fund their own public transit systems. Perhaps this is because the half penny or penny of local sales tax amounts to thousands on the price of new farm equipment, or perhaps because off-peak empty buses have been taken a symbol of the wholesale failure of public transportation. Or maybe it is more simple—someone powerful is close with those who profit from eternally widening our freeways and interchanges, gobbling up all the state’s transportation dollars for the sake of drivers and cars in the Treasure Valley. I’d think north and east Idaho lawmakers would object to this kind of greed. It puzzles me. But, so far, a usable “local option tax” for public transportation has faced a single and resolute roadblock.

What I do know is that with the rate of development in Canyon County and the rate at which our farmland and fields are melting into vast subdivisions, I wonder how valuable or desirable these distant houses will be as the traffic jams grow. I wonder if we’ll regret losing our ability to feed ourselves or our increasing dependence on Chinese grown foods. I wonder if business owners in Canyon County ever wish people from Boise would visit more often rather than Boise being the hub of all things cultural.

What if we could hop a train to the farmers market in downtown Nampa? What if the shops, restaurants, churches and town centers of Meridian and Eagle were just a few stops away? What if a person could live in Caldwell and work, shop or go to school in Boise without even driving their car? What if our winter air didn’t so often trigger asthma or aggravate other lung conditions?

City transportation organizations have funded studies on the precise cost of sustaining light rail and expanding buses to flexible, usable levels where we wouldn’t wait hours or be forced to ride only weekdays between rush hour commutes. The system has strained to expand its service and hours for the sake of working people whose schedules are not 9 to 5. On limited funds, expansion often means cuts somewhere else.

What’s it worth to you? Your business? Is it worth a visit to the Capitol when lawmakers come back to Boise this January? Is it worth a call now? Your Legislature is worth getting to know.

Three of the 105 were elected to represent you.

Besides, elections are coming. Where do your lawmakers stand?

ow does one person become two? Or more to the point: How does a generous, give-you-the-shirt-off-his-back country doctor become a pill-pushing drug dealer with a Hummer and cadre of strippers?

In his 62 years, Rafael Beier has been the good guy, and the bad.

On Sunday mornings, his neighbors in the pine-covered hills of North Idaho’s Silver Valley would watch as the doctor, in a tidy, button-down shirt and tie, led his children off to church.

“I never had a clue what was going on,” says George Watson, Beier’s former neighbor, pausing in disbelief. “The whole thing is crazy. ... I just saw a regular guy.”

Beier was a highly trained physician who opted to work in economically depressed areas and most recently ran a no-frills clinic in Pinehurst, a small town about 6 miles west of Kellogg.

At some point, authorities say, another Beier developed—one who spent his nights as a regular at Stateline Showgirls in Post Falls, where a dancer says he was known among employees as “Dr. Psycho,” flush with cash and pills to push. He started dating a dancer in her 20s named Destiney Blaski, and through her, the doctor “ended up being introduced to a number of people he probably wishes he never met, because he felt sorry for them, badly for them,” Beier’s attorney would later say.

In the end, it would all fall apart. And Beier, facing decades in prison, would go on the run, fleeing from his house in Kingston, Idaho, in a Dodge pickup mere moments ahead of the feds.

Beier, it turned out, wasn’t ready to give up.

COULDN’T HURT A FLY Rafael Beier was born in East Berlin, Germany, in 1953. His second wife, Yanhua Gao, says that when Beier’s parents split up, he spent some time in an orphanage before his mother married an American soldier and relocated to the U.S. when he was 6.

“People laughed at him because he didn’t speak English,” she says of Beier.

After growing up in Kansas and Colorado, she says he attended the Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences, where he graduated in 1991 with a doctorate of osteopathic medicine, a degree that meant he could practice various aspects of medicine, from writing prescriptions to performing surgery.

He completed his residency at the University of Kansas and took a job in 1996 with the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, a quasi-military federal agency that provides health services to disadvantaged communities. In that role, Gao says, he worked in Lapwai, a small town in central Idaho where the Nez Perce tribal government is located.

According to a 2004 Lewiston Morning Tribune article, Beier called the job a “dream come true,” saying he enjoyed working with the tribal members. He wore his hair long and resisted wearing the corps’ uniforms. The article states that although he was a good doctor, a report from the agency concluded that his “antiauthority” views made him “not suited” for the position.

Beier lost the job in 1997 after a confrontation with police outside of a Mormon church in Lewiston. According to BOISE WEEKLY.COM

court documents, his marriage at the time to Susan Beier was crumbling, and he started seeing Yanhua Gao, with whom he had a child.

Susan Beier (who declined to comment) got a restraining order against her estranged husband after she alleged that he became aggressive at her home, court records show.

Rafael Beier had been excommunicated from the Mormon church in Lewiston, but attended a service with his infant son in hopes of becoming a member again. Susan Beier was in attendance, and the police were called.

When officers arrived, Beier insisted that the restraining order didn’t apply at church.

After a confrontation, Beier was taken to the ground, pepper sprayed, handcuffed and placed in the back seat of a police cruiser.

“I started yelling for help, they’re killing me,” recalled Beier in an account in the Lewiston Morning Tribune. He kicked out the window, claiming he couldn’t breathe. In 1999, he sued the city of Lewiston. He was offered a settlement, but took his case to trial. Although he won, he was awarded only $1.

“He always said, ‘I know that the government will always win and I can’t trust the government,’” says his 18-year-old daughter, Rachel Beier.

He later worked as a physician on povertystricken Indian reservations near the Grand Canyon in Arizona, where Gao says he’d sometimes ride into the canyon on horseback to rescue hikers.

Rachel Beier says that her father always had an affinity for Native Americans and developed deep connections with the Nez Perce Tribe, members of which invited him to tribal events and gave her the nickname “Lulu.” He displayed portraits of Sitting Bull and Chief Joseph in his office. She also says he displayed a quote from Chief Joseph’s surrender speech: “From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever.” Her father, she says, always felt that Native American tribes were treated unfairly by the U.S. government.

Both Gao and Rachel Beier say that he was always concerned about the less fortunate—to a fault. Rachel Beier says her father was softspoken, patient and never abusive. She recalls how he would stop for stray dogs and see if they had tags, and he’d dig into his pocket for change for homeless people and pick up hitchhikers—even if it made his family uncomfortable.

“I don’t think my dad could hurt a fly,” says Rachel Beier.

Before his legal problems, he operated a clinic in Pinehurst in the economically depressed Silver Valley. In court it was described as a “blue-collar” and “rural” practice, where his small staff kept records by hand. Gao says they took Medicaid and Medicare clients and BOISE WEEKLY.COM

cut breaks for clients who had trouble paying.

She says Beier met patients after hours and even made house calls to bedridden people.

“All I’m gonna say is he helped me when I was homeless [and] provided food for me,” says Jesse Thompson, who lives in Wallace, of Beier.

Thompson adds that when his 2-year-old son was sick, Beier came to his house and took him to the emergency room and stayed with him until his fever was down. “I have nothing but respect for him,” says Thompson.

But Gao says that his generosity got him involved with the wrong people.

“They used his goodness and took advantage of him,” she says.

‘YOU CAN TRUST ME, SWEETIE’ Rachel Beier says that around 2010, her parents started having bad fights. He told her he felt alone. Around 2012, she says she saw a change in her dad. He started hanging out with “sketchy people,” she says. She remembers him staying up late, listening to pop music, wearing cologne and jewelry and buying expensive, brand-name clothes from Buckle.

She remembers her father spending more time with Destiney Blaski, who did not respond to repeated requests for comment. Rachel Beier says her father even paid for her to accompany them on a trip to Hawaii, one of his favorite vacation destinations. During the trip, Rachel Beier describes Blaski as being cold to her father.

Blaski, who was in a troubled marriage that would end in divorce, became romantically involved with Beier, and the two referred to each other as their respective “fiancé.” During the trial, prosecutors stated that while Beier was living in the furnace room at his house, he signed a lease on a condo for Blaski, provided her money, paid for breast augmentation and put her on the registration for a Hummer. According to the prosecution, Beier was using his prescription pad to help pay for it all.

During opening arguments at Beier’s federal trial in Coeur d’Alene, Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Mitchell told the jury that doctors “are entrusted with the key that opens the door

to medicine cabinets of controlled substances.”

These substances, he said, can be sold for cash on the streets.

“Dr. Beier misused his key and opened the medicine cabinet to highly addictive prescription drugs, releasing them into this community,” he stated.

According to court documents, as early as 2011, Beier started writing fake prescriptions for drugs like Adderall, a stimulant that’s used to treat ADHD, as well as hydrocodone and oxycodone, opioid painkillers that millions of people across the country have become addicted to.

Traci Whelan, an assistant U.S. attorney, tells the Inlander that when federal agents raided the clinic in Pinehurst, they found drawers full of thin patient files. The files, says Whelan, contained no patient background, no X-rays, no doctor’s notes. Instead, she says, they contained basic or incorrect information about patients, some of whom she says never stepped foot in the clinic.

The files, says Whelan, claimed that nearly every patient had suffered an ATV or snowboarding accident, and Beier had prescribed them narcotics.

Amidst the country’s opioid epidemic, “pill mills,” run by doctors who overprescribe addictive painkillers, have come under scrutiny.

“This was different,” FBI special agent Edward Jacobson tells the Inlander. “In this case he was exchanging prescriptions for cash in a parking lot.”

Despite Beier’s generosity to Blaski, prosecutors described her as “not overly kind to him.”

There were times when Beier was not overly kind, either. Several police reports describe incidents of Beier angrily confronting Blaski over her other romantic partners.

In June of 2012, Beier pulled up in a white Cadillac Escalade in Coeur d’Alene at a place where Blaski and her boyfriend were located, according to a police report. Beier stormed out of his car and struck the man, who fought back and knocked Beier to the ground. The police were called, and Blaski told an officer what was going on.

“She was recently fired from her job as a dancer at Stateline Showgirls,” reads the report.

“For the last 4 years she has known Dr. Beier as a frequent customer. She has been leading him on for the past few months to increase her revenue. She explained she would let him take her on dinner dates, but would not have sexual relations with him. ... After she got fired, he allegedly started to offer to write prescriptions to other dancers for information on Destiney and her family.”

Although Blaski wanted to file stalking charges against Beier, she didn’t follow through, and the two would keep in contact, records show. He continued to frequent Stateline Showgirls, where employees at the club used words such as “weird” and “rude” to describe Beier, who seemed intensely focused on particular girls at the club. Some took to calling him “Dr. Psycho,” one employee says.

Beier would sell prescriptions of Adderall for up to $300, according to Whelan and Jacobson. But the real money, they say, was in painkillers. Beier, they say, would sell prescriptions of 90 pills of oxycodone for $800 to dancers at Stateline Showgirls, who would be flush with cash after selling them for $20 to $40 each on the black market. According to the feds, Beier sold pills in parking lots, private homes, hotel rooms and at the strip club. Beier communicated with the girls with “burner phones,” prepaid cellphones used by drug dealers because their numbers are hard to trace.

According to prosecutors, he commonly referred to the strippers as “Sweetie.” “It is okay, sweetie.” “You can trust me, sweetie.” “Sweetie, you just don’t understand.”

They would text back with messages like “Let me keep putting 800 in your pocket” or “I can flip it and have more money for you by tonight.”

COMING AND GOING Amy Tosh, a Wallace resident, says that the influx of prescription pills had a severe impact on the Silver Valley. She says that Beier developed a reputation as a doctor who wrote unscrupulous prescriptions. Tosh says she watched one of her oldest friends completely change after becoming addicted to prescription pills.

“She was, in my opinion, in pharmaceutical-induced mania,” Tosh says. “She was nuts.”

Tosh says she heard people brag about their endless supply of meds, and she’s seen more crime that she suspects is related to addiction to prescription pills.

Before 2012, Beier’s only contact with law enforcement in Kootenai County was for traffic infractions. But now Beier’s name was appearing in reports from the Coeur d’Alene Police Department (which wouldn’t comment for this story) in connection to prescription pills or altercations with Blaski.

BOISEweekly c SEPTEMBER 14–20, 2016 c 7

When Eric Blaski, Destiney Blaski’s husband at the time, was pulled over, he told an officer that Beier was his doctor and had prescribed him some “hydros” that he had taken that day.

Later that fall, a concerned Walgreens pharmacist in Coeur d’Alene called the police after a man wearing a white do-rag tried to fill a Oxycontin prescription for someone who was in jail. The pharmacist told the responding officer that the prescription had been written

by Rafael Beier. “[He] has seen a lot of scripts come from this doctor with a lot of strange situations, different people picking up the scripts and large amounts of medications are prescribed every time,” reads the police report from the incident.

The report also states that police interviewed Fawnie Bracamonte, a former Stateline Showgirls dancer, who admitted she purchased the prescription that had caught the pharmacist’s attention from Beier for $700.

Throughout 2011 and into 2013, Destiney Blaski kept getting busted for drug possession, with police finding prescription pills listing Beier as the prescribing doctor. She also reconnected with Beier, who continued to let her use his black Chevy Avalanche truck.

Then two incidents caught the attention of the feds. In December of 2012, Coeur d’Alene police received a call from the staff at the LaQuinta Inn about a white Hummer registered to Beier and Blaski.

“The clerk said the Hummer had been coming and going for short intervals at all hours of the day and night for several days,” reads the police report.

When police knocked on the door, they heard a toilet flush. Inside was Bracamonte, along with Beier and Blaski. Police searched the room and found “sooty smudges on the toilet lid” in the bathroom. In the garbage, they found a blue plastic tube from a ballpoint pen that had been slightly melted on each end and had a burnt residue inside—a device, the report states, that’s used to inhale vapors from ignited pills. Police used pliers to pry open a can of Mike’s Hard Lemonade, where they found a metal pipe. They also found bottles of pills, with the prescriptions written by Beier.

Bracamonte spilled her guts, according to the report. She admitted crushing and smoking the pills.

“Dr. Beier will write any of the dancers a prescription for any drugs they want, whenever they want,” she said.

That night, only Bracamonte was arrested.

But that would change.

‘PSYCHO ENOUGH’ On a warm summer night in July 2013, the relationship between Rafael Beier and Destiney Blaski collapsed for good and 8 c SEPTEMBER 14–20, 2016 c BOISEweekly

would give the feds enough room to finally move.

Chelsea Piper recalls it was the type of summer night when you leave your windows open. At the time, she was living in an apartment complex in north Coeur d’Alene.

She never met Blaski, but says Blaski and her friends were “super flashy,” drove newer cars and were the talk of the complex’s other residents.

That particular night she heard angry yelling from Blaski’s apartment.

“He sounded like a grizzly bear,” recalls Piper.

Beier drove up to the apartment complex and loaded eight rounds into a Desert Eagle .44 Magnum, according to a police report.

He popped one into the chamber and barged into Blaski’s apartment. The report states she was there watching TV with another man.

Blaski said that Beier pointed the gun at him (which Beier denied doing), according to the report.

When police arrived, Blaski admitted that she “used to sell pills for Rafael,” who she said was “psycho enough” to shoot her.

Beier was arrested, and the officer found Staxyn, a prescription pill for erectile dysfunction, and two cellphones, one of which appeared to be a burner. The officer searched Beier’s iPhone and found texts regarding a drug deal.

Beier was initially charged with aggravated assault with a firearm, which was dropped after Blaski refused to cooperate. After the incident, according to court records, Blaski and her attorney met with investigators and provided an account of how Beier sold drugs.

Around the same time, Beier appeared to have misgivings about his second life.

Rachel Beier says her father became more religious, reading the Bible and going to

church. But strippers showed up at his clinic in Pinehurst, court records indicate. The clinic also was broken into and prescription pads were stolen. In December 2013, Beier contacted Coeur d’Alene police to report that Blaski was “still involved with drugs” and she had taken his truck without his permission.

He also became less willing to give out prescriptions.

“I am going to cut you off,” records show he told Bracamonte. “I am concerned about you having a problem. I’m not going to give you any more prescriptions.”

Bracamonte, who was sentenced in 2015 for selling pills, responded by threatening to blackmail him, records state. She would later serve as a government witness in Beier’s trial.

THE SETUP The last prescription Beier ever sold was in a bathroom stall in Coeur d’Alene in 2014. He knew the feds were onto him when they sent a confidential informant to buy drugs.

“They’re about to indict me,” he whispered to the informant.

“I don’t need to give them any more ammo.”

“I never should have done this in the first place,” he added.

The informant told him she needed money and it would be the last time.

Beier, suspicious, demanded that the informant strip in the bathroom at an Albertson’s before selling her a prescription, written for an elderly Spokane Valley woman, for 90 pills of oxycodone. However, he didn’t notice the wire the informant hid in her bra.

After selling the prescription for $1,000, Beier was pulled over in his Chevy Avalanche. Police found the cash and prescription pad and arrested him for selling a controlled substance.

UNDER THE COVERS Beier didn’t give up easy. He rejected a plea offer, instead opting for a jury trial.

In court, his defense lawyer, James Siebe, argued that Beier was set up by young women who took advantage of him and sold him out when they were facing serious drug charges. “[If ] they got caught with their finger in the pie, they’d be able to pull out a plum and say, ‘Hey, I got this plum from Dr. Beier, and he gave it to me. It wasn’t me that was doing any of this dishonest work on the side,’” Seibe argued in court, saying the government’s case was based on “snitches.”

Beier had been released on his own recognizance during the trial, and on May 17 of this year—the day a jury was to decide his fate—he skipped town. Nevertheless, as federal agents began a manhunt, the jury found Beier guilty of conspiracy to dispense a controlled substance, 66 counts of distribution of a controlled substance and four counts of distribution of a controlled substance to a person under 21.

(Destiney Blaski, meanwhile, underwent drug treatment and has been on probation since January of 2015.)

After her father went on the run, Rachel Beier says his family worried that he’d be killed.

She says that the 62-year-old fell sick while hiding in the woods. When he came home, she says, he left camouflage fatigues stained with diarrhea on the porch.

When federal agents returned to his property on May 23, Beier was buried under a pile of blankets in a motor home parked in the barn behind his house. Agents searched the barn, leaving only the motor home, doors unlocked.

Jacobson, the FBI agent, received no response from Beier after he yelled into the barn.

But after Jacobson announced he would send a German Shepherd after him, Beier emerged from the motor home, his hair frazzled, a light beard growing on his face, refusing to talk on the way to Bonner County Jail.

Sentencing originally was scheduled for later this month, but Beier’s lawyer successfully argued to push it to January, so Beier could undergo an evaluation of his “mental condition,” which will be taken into account. The government recently received an order to seize at least $732,800 of his assets, proceeds from selling drugs, and Beier, who is still in the Bonner County Jail, could face 20 years in prison.

While his family is hoping for a lighter sentence, they are left with one small comfort at the end of it all.

“At least we know he won’t wind up dead,” says Rachel Beier. “He’s still alive.”

HYDE PARK STREET FAIR

SO LONG TO SUMMER COMEDY SPECIAL

BCT GLAM GALA

For 37 years, the North End Neighborhood Association has hosted a celebration of the Boise enclave’s particular sense of pride. The Hyde Park Street Fair brings together 18 bands, performing on the main stage and more on the community stage; in excess of 100 arts, crafts and informational booths; a passel of food and beverage vendors; two, count ’em, beer gardens; and a kids play area.

Beyond all that, the Hyde Park Street Fair offers some of the best people watching around and it’s for a good cause: the North End Neighborhood Association plows all the funds raised at the event into local schools and community enhancing projects.

At least for this weekend, everyone is a North Ender.

Fri., Sept. 16, 4-9:30 p.m.; Sat., Sept. 17, 10 a.m.-9:30 p.m.; Sun., Sept. 18, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; FREE. Camel’s Back Park, 1200 W. Heron St., northendboise.org/hyde-park-street-fair-2016.

Fall in Boise is divine, with the city’s signature trees turning the colors of sunset, saying “see ya” to summer. Still, letting go of the long days and short shorts can be a tough pill to swallow. Wash it down and welcome the changing season with Sean “The Hawaiian Comedian” Peabody and the So Long to Summer Comedy Special at Neurolux. The ferociously funny Peabody is one of the hardest working comedians around, adhering to a rigorous touring schedule and hosting a monthly comedy workshop. If that wasn’t enough, he will be joined by fellow side-splitting standups Jason Ward, Mikey Pullman and Vijay Das, with host Stephanie Anne Mason. Tickets are only $10, so you can get a big, fat dose of the best medicine for less than your insurance co-pay.

Doors 7:30 p.m., show 8:30 p.m., $10, advance tickets available via Ticketweb or at Record Exchange. Neurolux, 111 N. 11th St., 208-343-0886, neurolux.com.

For all the innovative, modern productions Boise Contemporary Theater has presented over the years, it has never staged a full-blown musical—a statement that will soon be false.

BCT opens its 2016-17 season with Hedwig and the Angry Inch, an award-winning stage musical and film by John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask. BCT will celebrate its season opening and raise funds with a Glam Gala on Saturday, Sept.

17, where guests can kick up their heels at the kick off with cocktails, a silent auction and a performance featuring the cast of Hedwig, followed by dinner and a live auction. Tickets are $125 per person or $1,000 for a table of eight—but that’s the high price of beauty.

6 p.m.; $125 per person or $1,000 per table. Boise Contemporary Theater, 854 Fulton St., 208-331-9224, bctheater.org/ special-events/gala.

REVIVE THE HIVE BIG REVEAL CELEBRATION, SEPT. 15, BOISE HIVE Since 2014, Boise Hive has offered local musicians a place to learn, a place to practice and a safe place to be among others who care about them. Combining support for musicians’ craft as well as their mental well being was a novel idea, and the nonprofit quickly became a community hub. About a year later, however, it almost suffered a colony collapse. In October 2015, Hive organizers faced a dilemma: an offer of $210,00 had been made on their space at 3907 Custer Drive. The Hive had to match the offer or buzz off.

The Hive persisted and, about a year later, it’s ready to unveil a revamped space courtesy of Interior Designs of Idaho, which secured much of the donated materials and labor for the project.

Join the party and enjoy a raft of local bands, including Lounge on Fire, and grab some grub from The Funky Taco food truck. Bee there or bee square.

LISTEN HERE NED EVETT, SEPT. 15, RECORD EXCHANGE For the past 20 years, musician Ned Evett has been working on something revolutionary. The title of his new album, Glass Guitar (Sept. 2016, selfreleased), not only references it but features it.

“It’s not a super cheeky title,” Evett said. “[Working with Peavey] I have evolved the glass-necked fretless guitar to a new point ... using a new pinning system and a slide capo that is really cool.” He’s known for his work on the fretless guitar, but Evett said he’s a songwriter as much as a guitarist—he’s also a multiinstrumentalist, playing everything except drums on the new album— and Glass Guitar exemplifies his proclivity for well-crafted songs.

With legendary musician Adrian Belew at the helm, Evett recorded Glass Guitar in two days and will spend 40 of them sharing it with fans on a U.S. tour. In the midst of this, Evett, who is also an animator, is working on a new animated series, Crystal Planet, with his longtime friend, musician Joe Satriani; and musician/animator Brendon Small, co-creator of Home Movies and Metalocalypse.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

SCREEN MEETING GREAT EXPECTATIONS The surprises, so far, at TIFF 2016 GEORGE PRENTICE Good tidings of great joy from Toronto, dear moviegoers. The news from this year’s edition of the Toronto International Film Festival is good.

Just as a cooling rain swept across Lake Ontario, pushing out a late summer mugginess from the great Canadian metropolis, a fresh gust of high quality films blew in, bringing with them the promise of great expectations for months to come at your favorite movie theater.

OSCAR’S NEW FRONTRUNNERS It’s uncommon for a film to spark ovations and cheers in the middle of a screening, but that’s what happened four times at the TIFF 2016 premiere of the much-anticipated musical La La Land, starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. It takes its inspiration from Hollywood musicals of yore but is a wonderfully contemporary story. I counted at least eight Oscar nominations and the three minutes of Emma Stone singing a new song called “Here’s to the Ones Who Dream” practically guarantee her a Best Actress Oscar.

There is so much to love about Loving from director Jeff Nichols (Midnight Special, Take Shelter). This rich retelling of the marriage between Mildred (Ruth Negga) and Richard (Joel Edgerton) Loving that led to the landmark 1958 Supreme Court ruling overturning Virginia’s ban on interracial marriage is a lock for the Motion Picture Academy to champion—especially in the wake of the #oscarssowhite controversy earlier this year, after only white actors and actresses comprised the lists of Best Actor and Best Actress nominees. Loving is a humble and, well, loving chronicle of how an injustice was righted.

The other film sure to be on Oscar’s shortlist is Moonlight, a provocative R-rated tale of racial and sexual identity.

Directed by Barry Jenkins (Medicine for Melancholy), Moonlight is a requiem of sadness, in which Alex R. Hibbert, Ashton Sanders and Trevante Rhodes portray Chiron (pronounced shy-ron) as a black child, teen and adult, respectively, pushing back against poverty, bullying and drug addiction in his Miami neighborhood.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Clockwise from top right: Queen of Katwe is an inspirational story of a Ugandan chess master, Moonlight is set to become the indie of the year, La La Land is a musical from the days of yore and Lion is a bona fide crowd pleaser.

Produced by up-and-coming studio A24, Moonlight is destined to be the independent film of the year. You’ll be hearing a lot about this film.

THE BIG SURPRISES Two near-perfect films, Lion and Queen of Katwe, slipped in under the radar, taking TIFF audiences and many of the world’s top critics by surprise.

The moment the lights came up at the end of Lion, the opening night audience responded with full-throated cheers, applause and tears.

As the house lights came up, I looked around the packed theater and lost count of how many people were silently mouthing the word “Wow.” Lion, which stars Nicole Kidman and Dev Patel, tells the true story of a 5-year-old Indian boy, lost on the streets of Calcutta, who is eventually adopted by a family in Australia and, as an adult, makes his way back to India using Google Earth.

“I make so many different films, but it’s nice to do something that can put some goodness back into the world,” Kidman told Boise Weekly at a post-screening press conference.

Kidman said having adopted children of her own gave her particular insight to her character.

“I can’t tell you how much of a joy it was to to play a mother who just loves her child,” she said. “To be a part of something like this film that is so uplifting… well, there’s nothing quite like it.”

More than a few happy tears were also shed at the TIFF premiere of The Queen of Katwe, another life-affirming film for anyone of any age.

It’s another true story, this time of an uneducated girl living in a Ugandan slum who stuns much of the world when she becomes one of the greatest chess masters on the planet.

It stars David Oyelowo (Selma) and Lupita Nyong’o who last came to Toronto in 2013 to unveil 12 Years a Slave, for which she won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar.

“I’m sentimental about coming back here to Toronto with this film which I’m so passionate about,” said Nyong’o. “And what an amazing thing this film will do: Showcase Africa on a cinematic scale that we’ve never seen before.”

The Queen of Katwe is as gorgeous as it is impressive, but perhaps the biggest stunner is that the Walt Disney Company is behind the production.

MORE TO COME Among the hundreds of TIFF films still to be screened, I’m looking forward to American Pastoral, with Ewan McGregor directing himself and an all-star cast in this adaptation of Philip Roth’s novel of the same name; Jackie, with Natalie Portman as Jacqueline Kennedy; LBJ, starring Woody Harrelson as the 36th president of the United States; and four different movies about monsters—loveable and otherwise.

Years ago, Amy Pence-Brown sat at a desk in an office tucked into the back of a big building.

Today, the multi-talented, multi-tasking mother of three no longer works in the shadows. She is an artist, body image activist, public speaker and writer. She’s also a self-defined “fat, fearless, feminist rebel” who, on Aug. 29, 2015, nearing her 40th birthday and weighing 226 pounds, stood wearing only a black bikini and blindfold in the middle of the Capital City Public Market (with friend/local artist Melanie Folwell filming from a distance). Pence-Brown had a few washable markers in her hand and a sign at her feet that read, “I’m standing for anyone who has struggled with a self-esteem issue like me, because all bodies are valuable. To support self acceptance, draw a heart on my body.” PenceBrown feared she might be ridiculed, shamed or worse—ignored. Instead, she received so many compliments, hugs, hearts and messages, her pens ran dry and little of her skin remained unmarked.

The five-minute video of Pence-Brown’s “Radical Self-Acceptance” performance went viral. She and/or her story were in or on The Idaho Statesman, KTVB Channel 7, CNN, USA Today, People, Today, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Nigeria Daily News, TLC, The Dr. Oz Show and more. (Full list at amypencebrown.com.)

In celebration of the one-year anniversary of her “stand for self love,” Pence-Brown is presenting a screening of controversial body-image documentary Embrace at Edwards 9 downtown on Monday, Sept. 19 (she’ll speak before and do a Q&A after). Over biscuits and gravy, PenceBrown talked about her own body image issues and what her stance accomplished.

Did you have body image issues as a child?

Yes, mostly as a teenager, which I think is when they sort of appear for most people, especially young women—when your body is changing, when you become more aware of others’ bodies and media becomes more important.

You’re trying to figure out who you are and what that means to you. We look to what we see represented the most via Hollywood or magazine ads or TV. Today, it’s probably mostly social media. The people, the bodies and the commentary has a strong impact on who we want to become.

20 c SEPTEMBER 14–20, 2016 c BOISEweekly

Did you ever do anything drastic to fit a perception of what you thought was beautiful?

I tried to take diet pills in high school to lose weight. It didn’t work. They made me sick. I tried making myself vomit, and I hate vomiting, so that didn’t work for me, either. I had a bit of an exercise addiction as a teenager, which is glorified in our culture. There’s nothing wrong with exercise, but when it becomes an addiction or damaging, it’s a problem.

Why did you do the self-love stance?

I had done work as a body image activist for about seven years … through writing, art, performances and public speaking. I gave an Ignite Boise talk on how to be fat, fit and fabulous about four years ago. Another important part of my activism is the the Boise Rad Fat Collective, the Facebook group I started three years ago. This piece though…

Do you consider it a performance piece?

Yes. I call it performance art. Performance art/ peaceful protest/social activism—a combination of all of those.

Where did you get the idea?

This piece was directly related to a piece by Jae West from the Liberators International, a group out of Australia who stage public performances around “participatory acts of kindness.” [The video of West] had about 2 million views. At the time, I didn’t really know what “viral” meant.

Little did I know I would become schooled. The video of my performance is sitting at 200 million views now, which I guess makes it one of the most viral videos of all time, to date … Google Alerts couldn’t keep up. I’m still finding major news organizations did pieces on me I didn’t even know about … I got a lot of requests from talk shows.

I learned a lot about TV and producers quickly, because they were coming at me like crazy.

What did you expect would happen during your performance?

At first, it was terrifying … then, I only stopped because the markers ran out of ink and I ran out of skin. [People] went rogue, which I didn’t expect. The first woman started it. I’ll never forget this: She touched my arm and whispered, “Thank you. This is so brave and so powerful.”

WINESIPPER MAKE MINE CHABLIS Chablis is the northernmost region of Burgundy, France, where only one wine is made: Chardonnay. The cooler northern climate helps preserve the grape’s acidity—that, along with the chalky soil, makes for a unique terroir whose characteristics come through in the wine. For me (and for many others), Chablis is consistently the purest expression of the Chardonnay grape. The wines tasted, all intro level, were quite good—so good we had a tie for first and a tie for second place. Here are the four top picks: 2014 BICHOT DOMAINE LONG-DEPAQUIT CHABLIS, $21 Creamy lime aromas are backed by peach and savory herb. Sweet tangerine and smooth stone fruit flavors surround a core of racy citrus fruit.

A nice flintiness comes through on the finish, along with a nuanced hit of ginger.

2014 JEAN-PAUL & BENOIT DROIN CHABLIS, $29 Opens with floral melon aromas, a zippy citrus component and traces of salty lime, mineral and smoke. Beautifully balanced on the palate, the succulent blood orange and lemon tart flavors are backed by racy acidity on the finish.

2014 JOSEPH DROUHIN VAUDON CHABLIS, $26 The nose is beautifully floral and filled with lemon custard, green apple and stone fruit aromas.

This is a well structured wine with a steely texture, offering fresh apple, lime and blood orange flavors.

The finish has an edgy minerality and a refreshingly crisp acidity.

2014 SIMONNET-FEBVRE CHABLIS, $21 Opens with light tropical fruit aromas colored by touches of rosehip and clover. Ripe fruit flavors dominate the palate (Granny Smith apple, papaya and pear) while soft acidity marks the intriguing mineral and lightly saline finish.

FOOD

Three of our favorite food groups: ice cream, beer and corndogs.

BEERS, BALLS AND BRATS From Oktoberfest to BBQ, mochi and corndogs AMY ATKINS AND Z ACH HAGADONE They call it Oktoberfest, but the age-old bier bash actually kicks off Sept. 16 in Munich, Germany, running 18 days into the first weekend of October. You don’t have to book a Lufthansa flight to the Vaterland to sip some suds, with a stein-full of local observances with which to whet your whistle.

First, Payette Brewing will host a celebration Wednesday, Sept. 14, when it releases its new canned seasonal Oktoberfest Marzen Lager—the traditional tipple of the holiday. The party goes down 7-11 p.m. at Taphouse (760 W. Main St.), where you can Getrank to your Herz’s content.

Don’t overdo it, though, because Payette is following its Taphouse release with another party Friday, Sept. 16 at its downtown Boise taproom (733 S. Pioneer St.). There, from 5 ’til 10 p.m., you’ll again get a taste of the Oktoberfest Marzen Lager along with German-inspired food; merch, including one-liter steins; a seven-piece brass polka band; and more. Boise’s own Burgermeister, Mayor Dave Bieter, will be on hand to tap the first keg in true Munich fashion.

Here’s hoping you still have some oomp in your pah, because Oktoberfest comes to Old Boise on Saturday, Sept. 17, with Bavarian food, German and seasonal beers, music and a Sam Adams stein hoisting competition on Sixth Street between Idaho and Grove streets. Wristbands cost $15 and come with a commemorative mug. The brews start flowing at 3 p.m. and won’t stop until 11 p.m. (facebook.com/OktoberfestOldBoise) If you’re more into barbecue than bratwurst, head to the Ford Idaho Center (16200 Idaho Center Blvd., Nampa) for the Rock’N Brews

and BBQ Festival, which is firing up the grill Saturday, Sept. 17 from 11 a.m.-5 p.m.

Competitors from around the Treasure Valley and Northwest will face off to qualify for the Jack Daniels Nationship Championship and you’ll reap the benefits with top notch ’cue, music, vendors, demonstrations, and the chance to meet and mingle with pit masters from the Kansas City BBQ Society, which has sanctioned the event.

If you work up a thirst—and you will—belly up at the craft beer fest, featuring local breweries. Get the details at rocknbrewsandbbq.com.

For foodies on the go, cooler weather will mean fewer food trucks and carts out and about, but while it’s still warm out, we plan to frequent a few of our favorite mobile muncheries as much as possible.

If you haven’t heard, The Rusty Dog answered the cry for “more corndogs!” The big ol’ all-beef dogs hand-dipped in a cornmeal batter and sweetened with honey are the stuff of dreams. That would be enough but damn, Daniel, there’s more: minis, beef and cheese, sausage, just cheese for the vegetarians and more, including (OMG) tiny donuts. Visit facebook. com/therustydogidaho for The Dog’s location.

Last but not least, it’s hard to say anything bad about ice cream but if we had to pick something, it would be how not finger-foodish it is.

Then we remembered mochi, the delightful little round Japanese rice/ice cream confection. Then we discovered the choose-your-own-mochi cart at Whole Foods (401 S. Broadway Ave.) pictured above. Then we wept with joy.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): What should you do if your allies get bogged down by excess caution or lazy procrastination? Here’s what I advise: Don’t confront them or berate them. Instead, cheerfully do what must be done without their help. And what action should you take if mediocrity begins to creep into collaborative projects?

Try this: Figure out how to restore excellence, and cheerfully make it happen. And how should you proceed if the world around you seems to have fallen prey to fear-induced apathy or courage-shrinking numbness? My suggestion: Cheerfully kick the world’s butt—with gentle but firm good humor.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): For the foreseeable future, your main duty is to be in love. Rowdily and innocently in love. Meticulously and shrewdly in love. In love with whom or what? Everyone and everything—or at least with as much of everyone and everything as you can manage. I realize this is a breathtaking assignment that will require you to push beyond some of your limitations and conjure up almost superhuman levels of generosity. But that’s exactly what the cosmic omens suggest is necessary if you want to break through to the next major chapter of your life story.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): What do you hope to be when

you are all grown up, Gemini? An irresistible charmer who is beloved by many and owned by none? A master multi-tasker who’s paid well for the art of never being bored?

A versatile virtuoso who is skilled at brokering truces and making matches and tinkering with unique blends? The coming weeks will be a favorable time to entertain fantasies like these—to dream about your future success and happiness.

You are likely to generate good fortune for yourself as you brainstorm and play with the pleasurable possibilities. I invite you to be as creative as you dare.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Dear Soul Doctor: I have been trying my best to body-surf the flood of feelings that swept me away a few weeks ago. So far I haven’t drowned! That’s good news, right? But I don’t know how much longer I can stay afloat. It’s hard to maintain so much concentration.

The power and volume of the surge doesn’t seem to be abating. Are there any signs that I won’t have to do this forever? Will I eventually reach dry land? —Careening Crab.”

Dear Careening: Five or six more days, at the most: You won’t have to hold out longer than that. During this last stretch, see if you can enjoy the ride more. Re-imagine your journey as a rambunctious adventure rather than a harrowing ordeal. And remember to feel grateful: Not many people have your

24 c SEPTEMBER 14–20, 2016 c BOISEweekly

capacity to feel so deeply.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If there can be such a thing as a triumphant loss, you will achieve it sometime soon. If anyone can slink in through the back door but make it look like a grand entrance, it’s you. I am in awe of your potential to achieve auspicious reversals and medicinal redefinitions. Plain old simple justice may not be available, but I bet you’ll be able to conjure up some unruly justice that’s just as valuable. To assist you in your cagey maneuvers, I offer this advice: Don’t let your prowess make you overconfident, and always look for ways to use your socalled liabilities to your advantage.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Caution: You may soon be exposed to outbreaks of peace, intelligence, and mutual admiration. Sweet satisfactions might erupt unexpectedly. Rousing connections could become almost routine, and useful revelations may proliferate. Are you prepared to fully accept this surge of grace? Or will you be suspicious of the chance to feel soulfully successful? I hope you can find a way to at least temporarily adopt an almost comically expansive optimism. That might be a good way to ensure you’re not blindsided by delight.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Brainwashing” is a word with

negative connotations. It refers to an intensive indoctrination that scours away a person’s convictions and replaces them with a new set of rigid beliefs. But I’d like to propose an alternative definition for your use in the coming days.

According to my astrological analysis, you now have an extraordinary power to thoroughly wash your own brain—thereby flushing away toxic thoughts and trashy attitudes that might have collected there. I invite you to have maximum fun as you make your inner landscape clean and sparkly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): My astrological divinations suggest that a lightning storm is headed your way, metaphorically speaking.

But it shouldn’t inconvenience you much—unless you do the equivalent of getting drunk, stumbling out into the wasteland, and screaming curses toward heaven. (I don’t recommend that.) For best results, consider this advice: Take shelter from the storm, preferably in your favorite sanctuary. Treat yourself to more silence and serenity than you usually do. Meditate with the relaxed ferocity of a Zen monk high on Sublime Emptiness. Got all that? Now here’s the best part: Compose a playfully edgy message to God, telling Her about all the situations you want Her to help you transform during the next 12 months.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Novelist Tom Robbins said this about my work: “I’ve seen the future of American literature and its name is Rob Brezsny.” Oscarwinning actress Marisa Tomei testified, “Rob Brezsny gets my nomination for best prophet in a starring role. He’s a script doctor for the soul.” Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Jason Mraz declared, “Rob Brezsny writes everybody’s favorite astrology column. I dig him for his powerful yet playful insights, his poetry and his humor.”

Are you fed up with my boasts yet, Sagittarius? I will spare you from further displays of egomania under one condition: You have to brag about yourself a lot in the coming days—and not just with understated little chirps and peeps. Your expressions of self-appreciation must be lush, flamboyant, exultant, witty, and sincere.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): By normal standards, your progress should be vigorous in the coming weeks. You may score a new privilege, increase your influence, or forge a connection that boosts your ability to attract desirable resources. But accomplishments like those will be secondary to an even more crucial benchmark: Will you understand yourself better?

Will you cultivate a more robust awareness of your strengths and weaknesses, your needs and your duties? Will you get clear about

what you have to learn and what you have to jettison?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I’m confident that you would never try to sneak through customs with cocaine-laced goat meat or a hundred live tarantulas or some equally prohibited contraband.

Please use similar caution as you gear up for your rite of passage or metaphorical border crossing. Your intentions should be pure and your conscience clear. Any baggage you take with you should be free of nonsense and delusions. To ensure the best possible outcome, arm yourself with the highest version of brave love that you can imagine.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Should you be worried if you have fantasies of seducing a deity, angel, or superhero? Will it be weird if some night soon you dream of an erotic rendezvous with a mermaid, satyr, or centaur? I say no. In fact, I’d regard events like these as healthy signs. They would suggest that you’re ready to tap into mythic and majestic yearnings that have been buried deep in your psyche.

They might mean your imagination wants to steer you toward experiences that will energize the smart animal within you. And this would be in accordance with the most exalted cosmic tendencies. Try saying this affirmation: “I am brilliantly primal. I am wildly wise. I am divinely surprising.”

PAGE BREAK BRICK YOURSELF

$GYLFH IRU WKRVH RQ WKH YHUJH

Unlike being told to “hit the bricks” or being called a “brick house” (praise be to the Commodores) Brick Yourself is neither a dismissal nor a compliment. It is, instead, maybe the most adorable fusion of real life and pop culture: custom Lego figures. From the Land Down Under, Lego-obsessed BrickMan Dan and Co. make sweet little cylindrical avatars of you or someone you love.

Getting bricked is easy. Just fill out the form at brickyourself.com.au with $25, brickyourself.com.au your figure’s name, essential characteristics (profession, hobby, passion), age and gender. Any additional information you provide makes your character all the better, though.

The instructions suggest describing your little figure’s facial expression (happy, sad, surprised, etc.) and whether they have facial hair or glasses; their style of clothing; what colors they look good in; and accessories that best identify their interests like cameras, phones, pets, tools, books, light sabers, whatever.

At about $25, getting a customized Lego character for someone is an inexpensive way to show you care, but there’s no reason you shouldn’t order one for yourself. Maybe you’re the brick house.

DEAR MINERVA, I have a couple of friends who are married. I like them both but I have a problem with the wife. She constantly belittles and berates her husband in public. There is no limit to how she humiliates him. It makes everyone around feel uncomfortable.

I don’t want to avoid spending time with them, but that is what I feel like I might have to do. What would you do?

—Awkwardly Ever After

DEAR AWKWARDLY, This kind of behavior is not only disconcerting, it is socially disturbing. We never really know what goes on between couples in their private lives, but this woman’s behavior is rude for a couple of reasons. She sounds like a bully. Spouses should honor each other in public. If she feels the need to degrade him in front of friends and peers, I would question her character. If she’ll do that in public, what could she be doing in private? Also, it is tacky behavior to change the mood of the whole party of people by blatantly insulting one’s spouse. It is the height of inhospitality and extremely gauche in my opinion. What I would suggest is to arm yourself beforehand with a list of topics that you can suddenly bring up to steer the conversation to more polite chat. If you are a funny person, never underestimate the power of humor to change the tone. Hopefully she will get the hint and bite her forked tongue.

If not, reconsider that invitation next time.
