EDITOR’S NOTE A PRE-POST-ELECTION OPINION The vast majority of alternative weekly newspapers in the U.S. publish on Thursdays, which means they go to press on Wednesdays. Of course, that means their election-week print editions have access to results from the ballot box. Not so with Boise Weekly.

As I write this, it’s about 9:30 a.m. on Election Day, and we have to get this baby to the printer by noon. Of course, we’ll have election coverage at boiseweekly.com, but you won’t find any vote totals or after-the-fact analysis in these pages.

Part of me has always thought that’s unfortunate; but, following this grueling election cycle, a bigger part of me sends this edition of BW to the press with a feeling of relief and in the hope that we can finally move on from this season of fruitless fractiousness.

Rolling Stone chief political reporter Matt Taibbi published a commentary Nov. 7 titled, “After This Election, Turn it Off: Let’s never follow politics again.” In his piece, Taibbi—who officially succeeded original politics junkie Hunter S. Thompson with his coverage of the 2004 presidential race—wrote: “No matter what happens Tuesday, it’s an undeniable fact that our population is now divided into two irreconcilable groups, each of which violently disbelieves in the humanity of the other.

“But that same population seems also to be addicted to hyperprovocative political media, whose purpose usually is exacerbating that very mutual hatred and disrespect.

“It’s no wonder that most people are unhappy with the direction of the country. Most Americans believe themselves to be surrounded within their own borders by the equivalent of military enemies.”

The upshot, according to Taibbi, is not only a miserable electorate, but a miserable society incapable of working on its very real problems. I can’t share any Official Thoughts on the Election because, at this point, I don’t have a clue how it shook out. Instead, I’ll conclude with a sincere wish that, come Nov. 9, we can purge some of this toxicity and—maybe out of sheer partisan exhaustion—get back to remembering that we’re all in this together.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

OPINION FROM THE FAR MARGINS Closing the chasm NICOLE LEFAVOUR Our nation sits at a precipice. Two rich people just battled for the highest office in the land while ordinary Americans struggled with unprecedented levels of debt and bills they may never have the capacity pay off. In northern Idaho, effigies of black men hang from nooses by the roadsides. Elected officials rile armed crowds to hunt down refugees and people of Islamic faith. In Canyon County, huge churches preach hate for refugees who are the classmates of their congregations’ children. Repurposed slurs fly—even the “n” word circulates again on the internet and in the air.

We can pretend the conflict is far away, but it’s all around us. This next presidency will be defined by what’s done about the divisions among us—the rhetoric, the violence, and the vast chasm between the wealthy and the ordinary wage earner. It will be defined by what is done about the levels of debt, the desperation and the longing for the prosperity that America’s middle class once mortgaged itself to have.

The U.S. Census Bureau has a ticker on its website that counts the growth in world population. Stare at those numbers for a bit and what comes to mind might be the static nature of the world’s resources—the finite area of habitable or arable land, the limitations of freshwater supplies. What it means is that whatever we own or depend on for survival, 60 seconds from now 150 more people will be born with whom to share it.

Caucasians make up 16 percent of the world’s population; yet, for the most part, we and the elite in Asian countries hold nearly all the world’s wealth. Even the most modestly prosperous family in the U.S. possesses orders of magnitude greater income and property as the average nonwhite family almost anywhere in the world.

That inequality extends to families within our own borders. According to a Brandeis University study, the average white family has more than 15 times as much wealth as the typical black or Latino family in the U.S.—and this gap in wealth is only widening.

The crash of Wall Street, the loss of pensions, and the unregulated fiction of mortgages and the stock market essentially pushed America’s middle class into the low-income column. We slid downward—sometimes quickly—under the weight of medical, educational, mortgage and consumer debt.

Look into the angry faces at a Donald Trump rally or listen to the rhetoric of the disaffected from Jill Stein voters and former Bernie Sanders supporters, and you see the rise of tension over white income inequality and fear for the future.

If the death of black and Latino American BOISE WEEKLY.COM

citizens on city streets has ignited protests and a movement begging the nation to value their lives, beneath it all is an ugly truth. Analyst after analyst has pointed the finger at racist redlining, biased lending practices, job discrimination, a poor minimum wage, racial profiling, excessive fines and sentencing, and state legislatures’ refusal to fund public and higher education not just as sources of tension over race, but as real sources of income inequality. These forces have affected all Americans, but especially black and Latino families.

We all look for someone to blame for our desperation or disappointment. The national sentiment toward the very wealthy is especially ugly among the young. Some white American youths still seem to imagine that one day they, too, will be billionaires. But what happens when a generation sees no hope of improvement in what is too often a life of mounting debt and a dead-end, low-wage job? Too many of us perhaps don’t see up-close the faces of the homeless or those who populate our prisons, or the invisible ranks of those who’ve been so long unemployed.

Too often it is vividly clear that our nation is most intensely failing its families of color.

We can sit here counting votes or looking up at the sky to celebrate, but that chasm is there and it’s swallowing the country around us.

Anyone who marvels at how Trump could get half of the nation’s 135 million voters to vote for him is not paying attention to what’s happening to American families. People are angry and the president who promised change and hope did not have the power to force Congress to make change or pass policy to give hope. The next president had better.

What our new president does about the causes of debt and desperation, how the president heals racial inequality and addresses the rhetoric of violence, will mean everything to avoiding violence on the streets in our state.

May Congress see the danger in this and grow wise. May we all recognize that when we pay taxes, which reduce the cost of a college education, increase wages or reduce medical or educational debt, then we create a stronger and healthier economy.

The ticker on the U.S. Census site is still moving. We have to learn to share, to be generous in healing the gash that is the vast income gap in our nation. If we don’t, we will all sink—not just the “poor,” but all of us.

Two men were killed and a third was seriously injured in a May 3 trench collapse in Boise.

PENDING LITIGATION, APPEALS IN WAKE OF DEADLY BOISE TRENCH COLLAPSE When the federal government released its investigation into a May 3 trench collapse in a Boise neighborhood, it confirmed what a good many people had feared: The collapse, which killed two workers and seriously injured a third, was preventable and Meridianbased Hard Rock Construction was “willful” in ignoring federal safety standards.

“Hard Rock Construction made almost no effort to protect its workers, or even to understand the right ways to avoid the common hazards in this line of work,” said David Kearns, Boise area director for the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

“Hiring workers and assuming they know how to protect themselves is a sure path to tragedy.”

OSHA inspectors found Hard Rock “failed to provide cave-in protection systems or a ladder to enter or exit the trench, did not have a competent person conducting inspections, and failed to train its employees on the hazards and dangers of working in trenches.”

Hard Rock was assessed penalties of $77,219, but the company is pushing back against the OSHA findings and has filed a formal appeal.

“It’s certainly well within their right,” Kearns said. “So, now we’re in a litigation process. There’s always a possibility in discovery that we may reach some kind of settlement or it may go all the way to trial.”

That wouldn’t be the only litigation involving the tragedy. Misty Smith, the widow of Bert Smith, 36, of Caldwell, who died in the collapse, has filed a tort claim against the city of Boise, the Idaho Public Works Contractors License Board, the Idaho Division of Building Safety and the Idaho Public Works Commission.

Pointing to the OSHA investigation, Smith said those governmental agencies had no business issuing a construction license to Hard Rock, thus allowing the company to proceed with the trench project while allegedly failing to provide a safe working environment.

NEWS TWILIGHT FOR BOISE’S FIRST URBAN RENEWAL DISTRICT Boise prepares for ‘sunset’ of the Capital District GEORGE PRENTICE Take a mental picture of Boise’s central core.

Compare it to the downtown landscape only a few years ago, and the change is dramatic.

Compare it to a couple of generations ago, when downtown Boise was teetering on ruin, and the contrast is astounding.

The engine for what became known as the Central District—the first urban renewal district in the history of Idaho—has been the Capital City Development Corporation, once known as the Boise Redevelopment Agency. The Central District, however, is about to run out of steam— or, to be more accurate, money—when it is legally terminated in 2018.

“The term we use is ‘sunset.’ It sounds better than termination,” said CCDC Executive Director John Brunelle.

And that mental picture? It’s a pretty good bet the current footprint of downtown Boise will remain for decades to come. With the dissolution of the urban renewal district comes the evaporation of tens of millions of dollars that have helped fuel downtown’s massive redevelopment, which has included high-profile projects like One Capital Center (1975); Boise City Hall (1977); Idaho First National Bank, now the U.S. Bank Building (1979); The Grove Plaza (1987); The Wells Fargo Center (1988); The Capitol Plaza Building, now The Chase Building (1995); The Grove Hotel and Bank of America Center, now CenturyLink Arena (1998); The Eighth and Main Building (2014); and the City Center Plaza Project and renovation of the Grove Plaza, scheduled for completion in June 2017.

However, groundbreakings and ribbon cuttings weren’t nearly as abundant in Boise as demolitions were in the latter part of the 20th century.

‘TEARING DOWN BOISE’ L.J. Davis penned a scathing article, titled “Tearing Down Boise” in the November 1974 edition of Harper’s magazine, chronicling what

CCDC Development Director Todd Bunderson (left) and Executive Director John Brunelle (right) stand in the Grove Plaza, which, when the Central District expires in 2018, will be transferred to the city of Boise.

he foresaw as the pending demise of Boise. Having grown up in the City of Trees in the years following World War II, Davis returned to his hometown and quickly concluded it was doomed.

“It is dying for the same reason so many other small American cities are dying, have died, or will shortly begin to die: an overdose of a fatal witches’ brew composed of automobiles, greed, bad planning, good intentions, idiotic architecture and civic pride run wild,” wrote Davis. “Downtown Boise gives the impression that it has recently been visited by an exceedingly tidy bombing raid conducted by planes that clean up after themselves. Main Street is virtually deserted.”

In the mid 1970s and into the early ’80s, construction cranes didn’t tower over downtown Boise, wrecking balls did.

“Let’s face it. Most of these old buildings are junk piles,” then-Boise Redevelopment Agency Chairman W. Carroll Sellars told Davis in 1974.

“We’re not tearing down a damn thing that’s worth anything.”

At the time, the BRA, Boise’s first incarnation of an urban renewal agency, wasn’t really in the business of building much of anything. Rather, it was an active partner in the demolition business.

“Buildings were razed,” said Todd Bunderson, current CCDC development director, looking back at a decades-old map of downtown Boise.

“The conventional wisdom at the time was that a downtown mall would rescue the core of the city.”

By 1974, more than a few Boise leaders had agreed with some developers that the downtown mall probably would save the city. Buried deep in the archives of the Albertson Library at Boise State University is the “Central District Develop-

ment Guide,” published by the BRA, which was then-chaired by former two-term Boise Mayor and then-president of KBOI television and radio Henry Westerman (“H.W.”) Whillock.

“The twelve-block area west of Capitol and bounded by Front and Bannock should be redeveloped and upgraded as a regional shopping center,” read the guide.

Planners envisioned 800,000 square feet of retail space to be the centerpiece of a downtown mall and, by the early 1970s, the plans included the demolition of the Eastman Building and the Egyptian Theatre (known then as the Ada Theatre). The Eastman Building burned to the ground in 1987, thus creating the “Boise Hole,” and efforts to tear down the Egyptian sparked a historic preservation duel.

According to local legend, wives of then-members of the BRA were fans of organ concerts at the Ada Theatre and they did some arm-twisting to see that the agency would sell the theater to local businessman Earl Hardy. Renovation of the landmark and newly-renamed “Egyptian” followed.

“Prevailing wisdom was changing and so was leadership,” said Bunderson. “And that downtown mall? Well, as we know, it went way out west.”

Well, not too “way out.” The construction of what would become the Boise Towne Square Mall at Cole and Franklin roads began in December 1986, thus burying the idea of a downtown mall for good.

Kempthorne and Dick O’Neill,” said Burnelle.

Kempthorne would in the following years serve in the U.S. Congress, become governor of Idaho and, eventually, U.S. secretary of the interior under President George W. Bush. O’Neill, a legendary Boise planner, would become chairman of the BRA in the mid-’80s. (O’Neill also happens to be the father of Derrick O’Neill, the current Planning and Development director for the city of Boise).

“Kempthorne and O’Neill were visionaries and said ‘Let’s get to work,” Burnelle said. “They reimagined Boise’s downtown.”

Soon thereafter, a study of downtown Boise conducted by the American Institute of Architects concluded the city’s future should never have included a downtown mall. Rather, the downtown grid had to be understood as a fabric of mixed uses.

“In 1985, I had just moved back to Boise from the Portland area,” said Brunelle, who later became general manager of the Idaho Stampede basketball team, director of the Boise city Office of Economic Development and take the reins of CCDC in June 2013. “But it was in 1985 that the BRA evolved into the CCDC, with a new vision and a new approach to urban development. I think things were getting pretty interesting again.”

Boise architect Neil Hosford stepped forward in 1988 with one of the first game-changers.

“Neil walked into CCDC with a crazy design that we now know as the Capital Terrace.

In its time, it was a wild, crazy design,” said Brunelle. “And a number of things followed.

For example, The Mode building was renovated that same year.”

The late ’80s was a busy time for CCDC and Boise. Within a decade of establishing the 10-square-block Central District in 1987, CCDC began using property and improvement tax revenues to help fuel the construction of the Grove Hotel and Bank of America Center, Wells Fargo Center and Boise City National Bank Building (now known as the Simplot Building); renovate the Mode, Key Financial Center, W.E. Pierce (also known as the Idaho Building) and Broadbent buildings; build the Capitol, Eastman and Ninth Street parking garages; and CCDC’s highest-profile project, the purchase and construction of the Grove Plaza and Boise Centre on the Grove.

The post-recession 21st century has been particularly kind to the CCDC and downtown core, beginning with the transformation of the “Boise Hole” into the Eighth and Main tower in 2014 and the recent opening of City Center Plaza, complete with a renovated U.S. Bank Building, the new Clearwater Building and a downtown transit center.

“And we’re redoing the Grove Plaza right now.

It’ll be ready by June for next summer’s Alive After Five,” said Brunelle. “I guess you’re never really quite done.”

Taran died of cancer on Oct. 23. He was 12.

A FOUR-LEGGED HERO Taran went to war when he was about 3 years old. The German shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix was one of 2,500 military working dogs fighting alongside U.S. force in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. After a four-year deployment to Iraq, Taran retired. But he died of cancer on Oct. 23, at the age of 12, and was buried in Boise with full military honors.

Taran’s handler, Boise State student and retired Staff Sergeant John Mras, 32, worked with the Honor Guard of the Idaho Army National Guard to ensure the dog was buried with proper honors during a Nov. 2 ceremony at Veterans Memorial Park in Boise.

“I think it’s important for people to remember that dogs are service members too,” said Mras, “They’ve made sacrifices and deserve the same respect and honor.”

Mras began working with Taran in 2007. At the time, dog handlers were typically assigned multiple dogs to work with, under the assumption that many of the animals would drop out of the program. Mras said Taran was one of those dogs everyone assumed wouldn’t make it to graduation day.

“Taran had a reputation as a hardhead” said Mras, “I asked, ‘Why are you giving me this dog?’ They said, ‘We know he’s not going to graduate, but we want to see what you can do with him.’ Taran turned it around and ended up being the dog I graduated with.”

Mras and Taran were deployed to Iraq in 2008, where they detected improvised explosive devices. In one incident, Mras said “good intelligence” sent them to search a freshly tilled field―a challenge, because the churned earth had obliterated most indicators of where explosives might be. After four hours of searching, Taran led Mras to a cache of 50 pounds of explosives. Mras adopted Taran and brought him home, where Taran “took over his spot on the couch.”

“He was pretty laid-back; and he never barked,” Mras said. “In the nine years I worked with Taran, I heard him bark maybe 15 times.”

When Taran was diagnosed with cancer, Mras knew he wanted his partner to have a full military funeral.

“In the service, all of our dogs get a full ceremony,” said Mras. “We just felt Taran still deserved the same kind of honor.”

SUNRISE, SUNSET That said, the Central District will be “quite done” on Dec. 31, 2017, the legal sunset date for Boise’s first urban renewal district. More importantly, that’s the day local taxes earmarked for CCDC will stop being collected. There will be some distribution of those revenues in 2018 but the taxing district will be no more.

The so-called Central District Sunset Working Group has been meeting for months on the issue of shutting down the district. Among its highest priorities is making certain the last big projects are funded and well under way—if not completed—by the end date. The Grove Plaza renovation is near the top of the list.

“But another big project that should come right under the wire of the sunset will be the renovation of the front plaza of Boise City Hall,” said Brunelle. “We’re hoping to complete that before we exit.”

When CCDC closes the books on the Central District, the agency will have some parting gifts.

CCDC currently owns the much-coveted Grove Plaza and a two-block stretch of Eighth between Main and Bannock streets. That’s why CCDC is the current landlord for the Capital City Public Market, which fills the Eighth Street corridor each Saturday through much of the year.

“So, here’s a bit of news that I don’t think anyone knows about,” said Brunelle. “Now, this still has to have full approval from the CCDC board and all of the appropriate parties, but there’s a strong likelihood that we’ll be turning over ownership of the Grove Plaza and that stretch of Eighth Street to the city of Boise. The idea is to get Eighth Street and the Grove Plaza in tip-top condition and allow the city take ownership.”

That should please Boise Mayor Dave Bieter, who has been referred to half in jest as el alcalde sin calles, which, translated from Basque, is “the mayor without streets.” The reason for the moniker is that Boise streets are governed by the elected Ada County Highway District, much to Bieter’s chagrin.

“But I’ll be more than proud to be the guy to hand Mayor Bieter his first street, when the Central District sunsets,” said Brunelle.

Bieter laughed when asked about the possibility of being “the mayor with one street,” or at least a couple of blocks.

“Well, you have to start somewhere,” he said.

“You know, I was just enjoying Eighth Street last night, sitting outside having a meal, in November no less. It was fantastic. That stretch of Eighth Street has been so important, so successful.”

As expected, Bieter gave high marks to the creation of the Central District for sparking the resurgence of downtown Boise but, unexpectedly, added it was important the district soon expire.

“Without that catalyst, I think it’s fair to say that there’s no way we would have the vibrancy we have,” said Bieter. “But it’s also important that the Central District go away. [Urban renewal districts] shouldn’t be permanent entitles.”

Bieter said he recalls a strikingly different downtown Boise, not long before creation of the Central District in the late ’80s.

“There used to be a T-shirt that read: ‘Boise at Night.’ It was a big black rectangle. Nothing was there,” he said. “I’m not sure people have an appreciation, especially if you weren’t here in the ’70s and ’80s, for what the Central District has meant for Boise.”

Everyone’s favorite pig and pachyderm pals come to the stage.

KENNEDY CENTER’S ELEPHANT AND PIGGIE’S “WE ARE IN A PLAY!” Best friends Gerald, a cautious elephant, and Piggie, an outgoing pig, run into a conundrum they have to find a way to work around.

Sometimes, Piggie’s creativity saves the day. Other days, it’s Gerald’s careful insight. If this plot is familiar to you, it’s probably because you’ve (repeatedly) read your children Mo Willems’ award-winning Elephant and Piggie book series. Imagine the fun your kids will have seeing those beloved characters come to life in the live-action musical, Elephant and Piggie’s “We Are in a Play!” The Kennedy Center adaptation of Willems’ stories is a “vaudevillian romp” through kidfriendly conflicts, like how two friends can share one toy and what to wear to a fancy pool party. Treat the youngsters (ages 4 and up) to an evening of music and dance, and let somebody else tell the story.

7 p.m., $. Morrison Center, 2201 Cesar Chavez Lane, 208-4261110, morrisoncenter.com.

The (different) sound of music.

SCOTT BRADLEE’S POSTMODERN JUKEBOX Ever wondered what Madonna’s songs would have sounded like as ’20s era jazz? Probably not, but Postmodern Jukebox did, and it’s awesome. The cover group, founded in 2011 by jazz pianist/ arranger Scott Bradlee, retools modern hits into vintage styles like jazz, ragtime and swing. In addition to touring, the rotating cast of singers and musicians also publish a new cover song on YouTube each week. Their creative re-imaginations include crazy combinations—from a bluegrass cover of Major Lazer to Lorde’s “Royals” as sung by a 7-foot-tall clown to Nickelback songs done Motown style.

Because PMJ is so eclectic, it appeals to a wide range of music lovers, which makes its live show an ideal outing with someone whose company you love, but not their musical tastes—until now.

CALENDAR ARTS/LIT COLUM WHAT YOU WILL: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT AUTHOR COLUM MCCANN Almost 30 years ago, National Book Award-winning author Colum McCann crossed into Idaho from Wyoming on his blue, 18-speed Schwinn bicycle.

His panniers were stuffed with clothes, a sleeping bag and a tent. The Irish author fondly remembered traversing the country on a college student diet.

“I lived on ramen noodles and canned ravioli many, many moons ago,” said McCann, who now lives in New York. “I get nostalgic for it.”

During his first stay in Idaho, McCann visited the town of Victor and the Craters of the Moon National Monument. He has since returned to Idaho, speaking at the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference in 2011, but his upcoming visit to the Egyptian Theatre on Wednesday, Nov. 16—part of The Cabin’s Readings and Conversations series—will be his first time in Boise.

McCann creates a sense of intimacy with his characters but often places them amid grand backdrops. In his award-winning novel, Let the Great World Spin (Random House, 2009), he introduced readers to Philippe Petit, who READINGS AND CONVERSATIONS WITH tightrope-walked beCOLUM MCCANN tween the Twin TowWednesday, Nov. 16; 7:30-9:30 p.m.; $25. ers in 1974. McCann The Egyptian Theatre, 700 W. Main St., opened his most 208-331-8000, thecabinidaho.org. recent collection of short stories, Thirteen Ways of Looking (Random House, 2015), with a novella about the murder of a lovable retired New York judge. These people feel real, and they pop off the page with humanity, even as history, scale or perspective seemingly threaten to wash them away.

“As a writer, I’m interested in the morality of fiction, and I would say I always have to be careful with what it is that I want to talk about. So yeah, you’re very much as a writer responsible to the lives of your imagined characters,” McCann said.

He has gone on to take his humanist bent beyond the printed page, founding the nonprofit Narrative 4, along with fellow luminaries like Terry Tempest Williams, Ishmael Beah and Tyler Cabot.

The program helps young people from across the world share their personal stories to build empathy across cultures. “[Participants] step into the shoes or the mind of somebody else, and an empathetic leap is made into the other,” McCann said. “My phrase for it is that ‘it opens up the lungs of the world and makes it a slightly better place.’”

Many of those stories come from war-torn or impoverished areas and, McCann said, it’s a challenge telling those stories responsibly while understanding their power. Stories may be dangerous, but McCann is undaunted—encouraged, even. “[A story] can be a mighty weapon in many ways and we have to be careful of them, but they reveal so much of what people often leave outside in terms of how they want to think about life and how it operates,” he said. “There’s a real grace in the ability to tell a story, so I’d be happy to be called a storyteller—flattered, in fact, and it’s often what I do.”

BUILT TO SPILL HIVE BENEFIT, NOV. 11, THE OLYMPIC After a postponement in July, iconic Boise rockers Built to Spill are picking where they left off with a hometown show at The Olympic benefiting Boise Hive.

Also featuring fellow locals The Hand and Toy Zoo, the makeup performance will include songs from BTS’ eighth studio album Untethered Moon (April 2015, Warner Bros. Records) and tickets sold for the July show will be honored.

All proceeds will go to support the Boise Hive, a nonprofit musicians’ resource center that provides both recording space and a supportive community. The Hive ran into tough times a year ago, when it almost lost its space at 3907 Custer Drive. The colony was saved, however, it still needs support.

“Hive” is only one letter away from “Give,” so now’s your chance to do just that while catching tunes from some quintessential Boise acts.

JAI WOLF, NOV. 12, KNITTING FACTORY In July 2015, EDM artist Jai Wolf (aka Sajeeb Saha) landed on Rolling Stone’s list of “10 New Artists You Need to Know.” About a year and a half later, Boiseans will get a chance to do just that Saturday, Nov. 12, when the 24-year-old Bangladesh-born DJ/ producer comes to the Knitting Factory.

Touring ahead of the Friday, Nov. 18 release of his EP Kindred Spirits (Mom+Pop, 2016), Jai Wolf will be joined by Norway native Jerry Folk and U.S.-based Khai—neither of whom are slouches in the EDM world. Jerry Folk was described as being “at the forefront of the indie dance revival” by Your EDM in April, and Khai made Huffington Post’s “2015 Recommendations for Every Type of Pop Culture Fan.” For fans of downtempo, Eastern-infused EDM often described as “melodic” and “dreamlike,” Jai Wolf is assuredly a headliner.

Some may already be familiar with his work, notable for his 2014 remix of “Easy My Mind” by Skrillex, which, to date, has racked up more than 2.8 million views on YouTube. For those who aren’t, now’s the time to get to know him.

EXPLORING MINIDOKA’S DARK PAST

“It’s not a breakup album, it’s a wake-up album.”

GLEN PHILLIPS: OUT WITH THE OLD, SWALLOWED BY THE NEW Though songs by ’90s band Toad The Wet Sprocket were often about mature subjects—like abuse or religion—singer Glen Phillips wasn’t even old enough to vote when the band formed. “I was singing about really intense concepts in the early Toad days,” Phillips said, adding how, when he looks back, he sees himself as a kind of “naked, awkward” kid trying to explore big ideas. Now 45 and a solo artist, Phillips continues to dig deep for material but, unlike his younger self, he has a wealth of experience from which to draw.

Phillips is currently on tour behind his new release, Swallowed by the New (Umami, Oct. 2016), and will be in Boise at the Sapphire Room on Sunday, Nov. 13. The album, Phillips’ first in 10 years, was written after the end of a 25-year marriage. Swallowed, however, isn’t at all an album about regret—just the opposite.

It’s about “dealing with loss and rebuilding a life after loss,” and “honoring change.”

“I like to say it’s not a breakup album, it’s a wake-up album,” Phillips said, laughing.

Swallowed may be an eye-opener for fans, as well. Phillips has always been an incredible songwriter but, from singles “Grief and Praise” and “Amnesty” to the addictive “Leaving Oldtown,” the album comprises Phillips’ most beautiful, well-crafted, engagWith Jonathan Kingham, Andy ing work to Byron and Lee Penn Sky.

Phillips credits TTWS with “allowing him to be a professional musician” and honors that time.

“I still sing ‘All I Want’ and ‘Walk on the Ocean’ at my shows,” he said.

SCREEN MOONLIGHT BATHES IN PAIN AND BEAUTY One of the best films of the year GEORGE PRENTICE For all of its simplicity and grace, Moonlight bathes its audience in a baptism of neon light. It is a story for the ages, but it is also a stunning snapshot of where we are as a nation. While Moonlight has been championed as a watershed AfricanAmerican film, it is also an all-American story in its radical telling of a young man’s search for peace in a land bordered by economic hardship, racial discord and sexual tumult.

Exiting from its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, where it debuted in September to tears and rapturous applause, I was swept from the theater into a swarm of the planet’s film critics who were anxious to send dispatches to their publications. “A masterpiece,” wrote Rolling Stone’s David Fear. “One of the best,” said Time’s Stephanie Zacharek. “Devastating,” wrote The Guardian’s Benjamin Lee. Over the din of the audience, which was roaring with approval for the cast and creative talent, representing the childhood, adolescence and mananother critic shouted to me, “Well this changes hood of its central character, Chiron (pronounced everything for the Oscars.” shy-RON), a meek child who is regularly bullied Yes, it does.

act, Chiron is a grown, muscular man who has embraced some stark choices—some good but mostly sad—made as a lonely young adult.

Ultimately, Moonlight becomes a requiem. Yes, Moonlight confronts crime and punishment, but it is equally tender as the portrait of a young man’s ache for acceptance and love. Director Jenkins and his director of photography, James Laxton, have crafted a poetic, breathtakingly visual film that employs slow, lazy nighttime images of Miami’s beaches. As the wind whistles softly through nearby palm trees, moonlight covers the sand in a gorgeous blanket of blue. All the while, composer Nicholas Britell’s jazzy score adds to the humidity.

Even on the chilliest of nights, it’s a fair bet you’ll feel beads of sweat while experiencing Moonlight.

Is it absolutely the best movie of 2016?

Honestly, I’m not sure yet. As you will learn soon enough, nearly a half dozen films that are about to open in Boise over the next several weeks are among the best in years. When the envelope is opened next February to reveal the Best Picture Oscar, my guess is it will be a toss-up: either Moonlight or La La Land (another masterpiece scheduled to open in December). Make no mistake, however: Moonlight is amazing.

CITIZEN WENDY WILSON

Snake River Alliance’s new executive director powers through GEORGE PRENTICE Wendy Wilson vividly recalls when, in 1984, she was on a flight to Boise preparing to become the new director of the Idaho Conservation League.

“I was carrying a book with me, The Power of Yes,” Wilson said. “I was going to be reasonable, listen to all sides and was convinced that everyone would understand good intentions.”

Sitting next to her was an executive from Morrison-Knudsen, the all-powerful Boisebased construction conglomerate.

“He looked at me and said, ‘I’m from M-K, and we don’t like obstructionists,’” said Wilson.

Wilson has since heard her share of eye-opening remarks at ICL, as founder and executive director of Idaho Rivers United and Advocates for the West, and, this year, as the new executive director of the Snake River Alliance.

Is it fair to say that some of the change you hoped for when you were younger has come much slower than you expected?

None of us live long enough to see our worst nightmares come true. It’s fair to say that we have lost more on the consumption end of the environmental equation. The two worst things on the planet have been the internal combustion engine and the burning of stuff to make electricity.

Some would disagree with your argument of the internal combustion engine being one of the worst things on the planet.

If we had electric cars, we wouldn’t need car shops. If we didn’t need car shops, we wouldn’t have people delivering oil from refineries. We’re caught in self-perpetuating reality. It’s not sustainable.

The Snake River Alliance has a fascinating history.

There have been many creation myths about how the Snake River Alliance began. One has to do with some farmers in Buhl, another has to do with the Sho-Ban tribes talking to people in Pocatello, another is two people in Julia Davis Park talking about nuclear waste.

So, what’s the truth?

Wait, there’s another: That it started in a Ketchum coffee shop. They’re all true. They all came together and created the Snake River Alliance.

Let’s talk nuclear. It’s stunning that a legacy from the Three Mile Island nuclear accident is in Idaho. Core debris is sitting over at the Idaho National Lab. I’ve seen it—it’s sitting in a big above-ground cask the size of several trailers, with a chain-link fence around it. Occasionally, about once a year, someone checks the ground for leakage.

What are the viable options for getting that out of Idaho?

There are no functioning, safe repositories on the planet for nuclear waste.

Yet, nuclear waste continues to come into Idaho.

The U.S. Navy continues to send nuclear waste each year. There’s about 1,000 metric tons of nuclear waste in Idaho.

What’s the biggest, most immediate nuclear threat in the Gem State?

Nine hundred thousands gallons of liquid waste below ground, in old metal tanks. It could be impacted by any seismic activity. I’m not against nuclear technology. I’m anti-nuclear proliferation, anti-nuclear contamination. It makes me cry to think of how irresponsible we’ve become.

Let’s talk about something more pleasant. I would be remiss if I didn’t note your organization recently wrapped up its Solarize the Valley initiative.

Installing 50 kilowatts of solar power to the rooftops of 40,000 households and businesses.

It’s impressive that you surpassed your goals. Can I assume a lot of homeowners are still shoppers and not buyers when it comes to solar rooftops?

You’re paying up front for the energy you’ll use over the next eight to 10 years, but there’s a long-term benefit and the federal government just extended a 30 percent tax credit. Look, we have pretty low electric rates in Idaho and, right now, the payoff is longer in Idaho than a lot of places, but it’s still an amazingly good investment. If I paint my house, five or eight years from now, that paint job doesn’t pay for itself. But we’re talking about solar systems that take about that long to pay for themselves.

WINESIPPER GRAVITATING TO GRENACHE Looking for a red wine to go with your turkey-centric Thanksgiving Day meal? What you want is something fruit forward with good structure and balanced acidity. You’ll want to avoid wines with heavier tannins, like Cabernet.

Those are great with beef, but don’t pair well with turkey. Grenache, the lead grape of most southern Rhone wines, is a great match. That region makes delicious reds but, as this tasting proved, Grenache has found a happy home in other countries, as well.

2013 SHATTER GRENACHE, $21 What happens when California winemakers Joe Gott and Dave Phinney (of Orin Swift fame) combine their talents and tend a 60-year-old Grenache vineyard in Maury, France? The answer is this big, bold wine with bright cherry, plum and cola aromas. Sweet strawberry, raspberry and plum flavors mark the palate, with a nice kiss of chocolate on the finish.

2012 TEMPUS CELLARS GRENACHE, $25 This New World Washington entry has an Old World, terroir-centered finesse and flavor. The earthy aromas are filled with dusty rose petal, cherry and a touch of cedar-laced cigar box. The palate is sleek and silky— you get creamy cherry fruit, mocha and touches of leather and anise.

The oh-so-smooth finish lingers on and on.

2013 YALUMBA OLD BUSH VINE GRENACHE, $19 When this Australian winery says “old,” it means it, with the youngest vines for this wine coming in at 45plus years. Some even surpass the century mark.

Despite that age, fresh fruit aromas dominate the nose, along with vanilla, oak and herb. This is a well-balanced wine, offering cherry and dark berry flavors colored by anise and spice. A good value.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Go ahead and howl a celebratory “goodbye!” to any triviality that has distracted you from your worthy goals, to any mean little ghost that has shadowed your good intentions, and to any faded fantasy that has clogged up the flow of your psychic energy. I also recommend that you whisper “welcome!” to open secrets that have somehow remained hidden from you, to simple lessons you haven’t been simple enough to learn before now, and to breathtaking escapes you have only recently earned. P.S.: You are authorized to refer to the coming weeks as a watershed.

and Jewish mythology, they’re a gang of 15.5 million angels that greet each day with vigorous songs of praise and blessing. Most people are too preoccupied with their own mind chatter to pay attention to them, let alone hear their melodious offerings. But I suspect you may be an exception to that rule in the coming weeks. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you’ll be exceptionally alert for and receptive to glad tidings. You may be able to spot opportunities that others are blind to, including the chants of the Lords of Shouting and many other potential blessings.

Take advantage of your aptitude.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Musician and visual artist Brian Eno loves to dream up innovative products. In 2006, he published a DVD called 77 Million Paintings, which uses technological trickery to generate 77 million different series of images. To watch the entire thing would take 9,000 years. In my opinion, it’s an interesting but gimmicky novelty—not particularly deep or meaningful.

During the next nine months, Capricorn, I suggest that you attempt a far more impressive feat: a richly complex creation that will provide you with growth-inducing value for years to come.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Greenland sharks live a long time—up to 400 years, according to researchers at the University of Copenhagen. The females of the species don’t reach sexual maturity until they’re 150. I wouldn’t normally compare you Pisceans to these creatures, but my reading of the astrological omens suggests that the coming months will be a time when at long last you will reach your full sexual ripeness. It’s true that you’ve been capable of generating new human beings for quite some time. But your erotic wisdom has lagged behind. Now that’s going to change. Your ability to harness your libidinous power will soon start to increase. As it does, you’ll gain new access to primal creativity.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Now and then you display an excessive egotism that pushes people away. But during the next six weeks you will have an excellent chance to shed some of that tendency, even as you build more of the healthy pride that attracts help and support. So be alert for a steady flow of intuitions that will instruct you on how to elude overconfidence and instead cultivate more of the warm, radiant charisma that is your birthright.

You came here to planet Earth not just to show off your bright beauty, but also to wield it as a source of inspiration and motivation for those whose lives you touch.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “How often I found where I should be going only by setting out for somewhere else,” said inventor Buckminster Fuller. I don’t fully endorse that perspective. For example, when I said goodbye to North Carolina with the intention to make northern California my new home, northern California is exactly where I ended up and stayed.

Having said that, however, I suspect that the coming months could be one of those times when Fuller’s formula applies to you. Your ultimate destination may turn out to be different from your original plan.

But here’s the tricky part: If you do want to eventually be led to the situation that’s right for you, you have to be specific about setting a

goal that seems right for now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you were an obscenely rich plutocrat, you might have a pool table on your super yacht. And to ensure that you and your buddies could play pool even in a storm that rocked your boat, you would have a special gyroscopic instrument installed to keep your pool table steady and stable. But I doubt you have such luxury at your disposal.

You’re just not that wealthy or decadent. You could have something even better, however: metaphorical gyroscopes that will keep you steady and stable as you navigate your way through unusual weather.

Do you know what I’m referring to?

If not, meditate on the three people or influences that might best help you stay grounded. Then make sure you snuggle up close to those people and influences during the next two weeks.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The coming weeks will be a good time to fill your bed with rose petals and sleep with their aroma caressing your dreams. You should also consider the following acts of intimate revolution: listening to sexy spiritual flute music while carrying on scintillating conversations with interesting allies... sharing gourmet meals in which you and your sensual companions use your fingers to slowly devour your delectable food... dancing naked in semi-dark-

24 | NOVEMBER 9–15, 2016 | BOISEweekly

ness as you imagine your happiest possible future. Do you catch my drift, Cancerian? You’re due for a series of appointments with savvy bliss and wild splendor.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “I have always wanted ... my mouth full of strange sunlight,” writes Leo poet Michael Dickman in his poem “My Honeybee.” In another piece, while describing an outdoor scene from childhood, he innocently asks, “What kind of light is that?”

Elsewhere he confesses, “What I want more than anything is to get down on paper what the shining looks like.” In accordance with the astrological omens, Leo, I suggest you follow Dickman’s lead in the coming weeks. You will receive soulful teachings if you pay special attention to both the qualities of the light you see with your eyes and the inner light that wells up in your heart.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The Passage du Gois is a 2.8mile causeway that runs between the western French town of Beauvoir-sur-Mer and the island of Noirmoutier in the Atlantic Ocean. It’s only usable twice a day when the tide goes out, and even then for just an hour or two. The rest of the time it’s underwater. If you hope to walk or bike or drive across, you must accommodate yourself to nature’s rhythms. I suspect there’s a metaphorically

similar phenomenon in your life, Virgo. To get to where you want to go next, you can’t necessarily travel exactly when you feel like it. The path will be open and available for brief periods. But it will be open and available.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Modern toilet paper appeared in 1901, when a company in Green Bay, Wisc., began to market “sanitary tissue” to the public.

The product had a small problem, however. Since the manufacturing process wasn’t perfect, wood chips sometimes remained embedded in the paper. It was not until 1934 that the product was offered as officially “splinter-free.” I mention this, Libra, because I suspect that you are not yet in the splinter-free phase of the promising possibility you’re working on. Keep at it. Hold steady. Eventually you’ll purge the glitches.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Don’t be someone that searches, finds, and then runs away,” advises novelist Paulo Coelho. I’m tempted to add this caveat: “Don’t be someone that searches, finds, and then runs away—unless you really do need to run away for a while to get better prepared for the reward you have summoned ... and then return to fully embrace it.” After studying the astrological omens, Scorpio, I’m guessing you can benefit from hearing this information.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Do you know about the Lords of Shouting? According to Christian

PAGE BREAK PIG CANDY

$GYLFH IRU WKRVH RQ WKH YHUJH

Imagine if some trickster, like the hacker group Anonymous or Bam Margera, set out to undermine the bacon fad by creating the most gratuitously bacon-y substance possible—a culinary creation so porcine it would turn all but the most ardent pork lover off pig flesh forever.

That substance has (maybe) arrived, and its name is Pig Candy.

Created by Jackson, Wyo.-based Cafe Genevieve, $15-$22, genevievejh.com which strives to “bring the South to your mouth,” Pig Candy is thick-cut Applewood smoked bacon slow cooked in salt, pepper, mustard powder, two kinds of sugar and cayenne pepper. This stuff doesn’t come with nutritional information on the package, so there’s no telling how much damage it can do to one’s cardiovascular system or pancreas, but consumption is recommended in small doses.

One slice tastes divine, two slabs taste like shavings off Donald Trump’s love handles and three feel like they might put you in a pine box so, whatever you do, don’t pig out.

—Harrison Berry

CHARITY

DEAR MINERVA, I have a friend who is always bragging about their good deeds, the charities they contribute to and the things that they do for other people. Sometimes this person even goes so far as to divulge names or post long “look at the good I do” Facebook posts about it. I think it is tacky. She disagrees. What say you?

—Ms. Discreet

DEAR MS. DISCREET, Brace yourself. I’m busting out a Bible verse. Matthew 6:3, “But when you do merciful deeds, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand does.” One of my biggest pet peeves is not when people admit that they are charitable of heart, but when they need others to praise them for it. If one has done a good deed with adulation in mind for themselves, they have done it for the wrong reasons. I see it on Facebook, too. The posts are screaming for attention. Add any mention of the person who has been helped or worse, picture of that person, and you’ve successfully gone from being a respectable, charitable person to one who has stripped another person of their pride. Do your giving and good-deed-doing privately and watch the blossoms of your good work without needing the praise of others. Sure, be involved in charitable organizations. Promote their events. Participate. Celebrate. That’s OK. Avoid the high horse of self-righteous boasting. It’s not a good look for anyone. Those in need are humans, too. One day the tables could be turned.
