EDITOR’S NOTE WELCOME TO THE 19TH CENTURY A few days before the inauguration of Donald J. Trump as 45th president of the United States, my mom called me. She was in a state of despair mingled with panic over what the world might look like on Saturday, Jan. 21. Between angrily fantasizing about a “do-over” election and wondering aloud whether the earth itself can withstand four years with Trump in the White House, my highly educated, civic-minded, passionate mother repeated the phrase, “I’ve never seen anything like this.” As any good son would, I tried to talk her down—specifically by reminding her Trump is far from the first tactless, vulgar, corrupt bully to serve as chief executive of the U.S. As noted in the New Republic last year, John Quincy Adams admitted in his own diary that he was considered by many to be “an unsocial savage.” His presidency, which included public works projects like those promised by Trump, was ultimately sunk by his personality. Andrew Jackson (also a vulgarian of the Trump order) beat him like a gong after only one term. For his part, Jackson was notorious for his “petty and vindictive acts” and draconian attitudes toward everything from civil liberties to trade policy. Beyond anger management issues, we have also had our share of presidents elected under dubious circumstances or whose administrations were rife with financial scandal. Even though Samuel Tilden trounced Rutherford B. Hayes in the 1876 election, it was Hayes who ended up in the White House following a shady “compromise” that remains controversial to this day. Ulysses S. Grant’s two terms in office included so many scandals, that his presidency is widely regarded as among the worst in U.S. history. To borrow an insult Hunter S. Thompson applied to Richard Nixon in an acerbic 1994 obituary for the former president, Trump is “so crooked that he need[s] servants to help him screw his pants on every morning.” Looking to 19th century America, however, the Trump style has clear precedence. I’m not sure if this should be cause for comfort, but at least we know how far back the arc of American progress might be set. —Zach Hagadone

OPINION FROM THE FAR MARGINS A message from women NICOLE LEFAVOUR I can’t speak for every woman, just a large swath of us who are fortunate enough to have exited the shelter of limited expectations built for us at a far too early age. We might have been the ones called “pretty,” “quiet,” “unladylike”; might have been the ones who studied parental power dynamics or borrowed the boys’ erector sets. We’re the larger, often more durable half of the species—the glue of communities and nations, a force for justice, compassion or just what is more gray than blackand-white. We can be fierce in the defense of the ideas or people we love. Many men are like us, too, for gender is not binary. People aren’t born all one thing and none of the other. Some wouldn’t give those of us who walk the world as women the full menu of options in education, employment or parenting roles, or the liberty of hair, dress, speech or bodily autonomy. We have laws against physical violation or discrimination that are meant to protect our freedoms; but, in America, we leave a lot to the internal moral compass of the individual. This means one can still incite violence or cruelty against whole segments of American society from places as low as the sidewalk or as high as the office of the president. But to be clear: American women are just not going to accept being peed on. We brace ourselves for the inauguration and—respectfully—so many of us say: Whip that out, orange man, and you’ll lose it. We’ll Bobbitt your hobbit, sever your cocktail sausage. Just step up and test us. Test our dignity. See how brave you feel with your pants down. Women are not your porn flick fantasy. We do not exist for your gratification, ornamentation or amusement. We occupy half the world and, without our full cooperation, any plan you lay out for America will suffer. Notice women at the communications hub of even the most male-dominated organizations, corporations and even military regiments. Sometimes, these are the only jobs we’ve been steered toward—anywhere else we had to be a 10-times smarter, more hard working and persistent than men before we would have been allowed a seat at the table. If you think of our organizing and presence in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 21 as anything but a warning notice, perhaps you should pause in your frenetic talking and tweeting long enough to look around you. We’re not just Democrats, but Republicans; not just old, but young; not just white, but brown, black and everything in between. We’re not just those born under the banner ‘feminist,’ but many radicalized by the idea of living in a nation under a president who BOISE WEEKLY.COM

boasted of sexual assault as if it were something all men aspired to. From Idaho to Mississippi, women are coming to stand together in every state to register this new reality with sisters by our sides. We want to stand where we don’t have to explain what is burning inside us like an oil fire on the ocean. We’re not a nation of Barbie dolls, not ashamed of age, or folds or gravity. On our best days, we wear these like badges of honor and want a nation that does no less than expect that pride from us. Many of us hoped the office of the president would be occupied by a woman. We watched the systematic efforts to humiliate her and all of us, and we took notes. No leader of a free nation will thrive believing he can lead when his tactics draw so heavily on humiliation and fear. Governance requires loyalty, and to alienate every constituency as a matter of daily speech and the maintenance of your own ego, is to fail to understand leadership and the consequences of rule by fear. People hate you. That is what happens. Those you demean do not simply become political opponents, they become people who fantasize about your utter failure, who conspire and work for your removal from office. If you make us fear too deeply for the lives of those we love or those we feel you’ve targeted for no other reason than their vulnerability, then you’ll see us more deeply radicalized. You’ll find yourself at the helm of an ocean liner, engines roaring through freezing water on the verge of trapping you by turning to solid ice. Do not take us for granted. We vote, and we more often vote for feminists—humans who treat us like human beings. Beyond political party or gender, it is a radical notion this thing called respect, and it’s not optional. Remember we’re everywhere and listening, organizing and preparing to wield the power that steers this land of our children and grandchildren, our mothers and grandmothers toward the future. It’s a future that felt within our grasp—one in which our daughters wouldn’t live being told they’d need knowledge of lethal force to protect themselves from rape; one where fathers and sons taught each other not to rape; one where job evaluations no longer feel like cat calls; and one where old white men no longer vote to cut our health services to score points with voters who believe our lives and health should be expendable if we do not behave the way they want. All over America on Jan. 21 women are sending a message, listen or not but we’re here and there are millions of us, just waiting for your move.

Bieter: “[ACHD] is a system that is doomed to fail.”

AVALANCHE OF SNOW REMOVAL CRITICISM It has been nearly 50 years since the Ada County Highway District was formed, with voters giving the entity authority over roads and streets, including within the city of Boise. Still, even all these years later, a good many Boiseans aim their criticisms at Boise City Hall when the roads are in lousy shape. City ofﬁcials said calls are lighting up Boise Mayor Dave Bieter’s phone—more than 500 at last count—complaining about unplowed and/or untreated streets in the wake of record-setting snowfall and a subsequent ice storm. Bieter, for the most part, agrees with many of those callers. “If this was [the city of Boise’s] performance, I would expect to be turned out of ofﬁce,” Bieter told KTVB at the height of the storm. “It’s never going to work. [ACHD] is a system that is doomed to fail.” Bieter doubled-down in an op-ed, writing, “This isn’t just poor service to the public; it’s a threat to public safety. And it’s unacceptable.” Bieter’s opinion piece was co-signed by Council President Elaine Clegg and council members Maryanne Jordan, Lauren McLean and Ben Quintana. Two signatures were missing: Councilmen Scot Ludwig and TJ Thomson. “I didn’t approve of the tone,” Thomson wrote on his Facebook page, adding, “ultimately, the voters will decide.” Paul Woods also knows a thing of two about letting voters decide. County residents selected him to be an Ada County commissioner in 2007 and an Ada County Highway District commissioner in 2014. He also knows something about working for Bieter. Between his forays in politics, he worked for Bieter as manager of the Public Works Department Environmental Division. In his current role as ACHD commission president, Woods pushed back hard against Bieter’s criticism of the highway district. “[Bieter] and the council majority are preying on our emotions,” wrote Woods in his own op-ed. “The egregious twisting of the facts cannot go unchallenged.” With yet another winter storm preparing to wallop the Treasure Valley on Wednesday, Jan. 18, the avalanche of criticism is expected to continue. —George Prentice 6 c JANUARY 18-24, 2017 c BOISEweekly

Putting more ‘heads on beds’ is a booming business in Boise GEORGE PRENTICE When Carrie Westergard assumed the post of executive director of the Boise Convention and Visitors Bureau—the marketing arm of the Boise Metro Chamber of Commerce—she asked Boise Valley Economic Partnership Executive Director Clark Krause which highprofile conventions he regularly attended. “He told me about the International Asset Management Counsel,” said Westergard, whose duties include inducing conventions to the Boise area. “That’s the VIP group of site-selectors that determine where many of the nation’s largest employers should locate or relocate their business operations. But Clark said, ‘I don’t know if Boise would be ready to host something like that.’” That was two years ago. Now, after new convention center facilities and several hotels in downtown Boise became reality, Westergard and her team have secured what was considered unattainable: Hosting the people who decide the cities that top-tier companies choose to call home. “It’s a huge deal. Think of that for a minute: This will be a gathering of some of the nation’s most influential decision-makers,” said Westergard. “Boise will be hosting IMAC in 2020.” Three years may seem a ways off, but it was only three years ago that a study by PKF Consulting asked the question: Why is Boise coming up short when competing for major meetings or conventions such as IMAC? Several months later the answer was made public: The then-inventory of around 10 downtown Boise hotels would soon be woefully inadequate to accommodate even the current number of conventions and meetings. “In 2015, we hosted 47 conventions—the highest we’ve ever done. Our goal for 2017 is 55,” said Boise Centre Executive Director Pat Rice. “And the growth of demand for hotel rooms continues to increase.” The difference now is practically everything, beginning with the Boise Centre, which will stretch across four structures on three sides of the Grove Plaza: from the existing Boise Centre, across to CenturyLink Arena, to the newlyconstructed Boise Centre East (which includes a 14,000-square-foot ballroom), to the new Clearwater Building, which houses 12,500 square feet of additional meeting space. The full concourse should open sometime in mid-March. “What can we attract now that we couldn’t be-

fore? Plenty,” said Rice. “For starters, we can host two mid-sized conventions or meetings concurrently, particularly in the SMERF categories.” SMERF is the industry acronym for small- to medium-sized “social, military, educational, religious and fraternal” organizations that regularly occupy meeting rooms at the Boise Centre. “But if you want to talk about a major gamechanger for Boise, it will come this June,” said Rice. “That’s when the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists will be here.” The convention will bring nearly 1,400 attendees, making it the largest convention the Boise Centre has ever hosted. How Boise guaranteed the gathering is a story in itself. “It all ties back to the LGBT issues that North Carolina has been having,” said Rice. Those “issues” stem from the so-called “bathroom bill,” which restricts access to public restrooms based on a person’s birth gender, rather than gender identity. The controversy led to several organizations, including the epidemiologist convention slated for this summer, to reconsider doing business with North Carolina. “They called us last summer,” said Westergard. “We ended up competing against Atlanta and Washington, D.C., and we landed it. It’s huge for us. At our last count, they’ll probably need rooms in 13 different hotels.” Which leads to what else is new in downtown Boise: hotels. There’s a new Residence Inn by Marriott nearing completion at the corner of Broad Street and Capitol Boulevard, a Hyatt Place wrapping up construction on 10th Street, a planned Hilton Garden Inn at Front and 13th streets and a just-announced 140-room hotel on Front Street between Fifth and Sixth streets.

The first hotel to swing its doors open in 2017 will be the much-anticipated 112-room boutique Inn at 500 Capitol, at the corner of Capitol Boulevard and Myrtle Street. “Fifty thousand cars drive by us every day, so we love that corner,” said Brian Obie, former mayor of Eugene, Ore. and founder of Obie Development Partners, which owns the Inn at 500 Capitol. “We started eyeing Boise for our hotel three years ago.” Obie opened his flagship hotel, the Inn at the 5th, in Eugene in 2012. He knew he wanted to duplicate his success. “My grandad said, ‘When you get a good horse, you ride it.’ So, I said, let’s do another one,” he said. “We turned to the University of Oregon and asked them to conduct a business analysis. Out of 43 communities, Boise came out on top— even ahead of Eugene. It’s that simple. Or maybe, it’s that complicated.” Obie said his hotel will feature a roaring fireplace in the lobby and a glass of wine for guests at the front desk, making for an upscale experience. “It’s an interesting demographic that we attract. Many of our visitors will actually be from Boise, celebrating a holiday or anniversary,” he said. “At the same time, we do very, very well with the business traveler. We’ll have arrangements with Micron, Albertson’s and St. Luke’s to take care of their needs.” That’s music to Westergard’s ears. “Bring it on,” she said of a series of hotel openings in the next two years. “Do we need them? Absolutely. Will our conventions, meetings and visitors absorb them? Everything points to ‘absolutely.’ Our business is to put heads on beds, and that business should get better and better.” BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Not long after Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election, Sandpoint resident Travis Thompson started prepping to attend the inauguration. A self-described conservative associated with several motorcycle social groups, Thompson worked with the National Park Service to secure permission for the thousands of bikers expected to travel to the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Thompson described the process as putting together a puzzle with some pieces that just don’t fit. “There will be plenty of groups [in Washington] that have strong, differing views,” he said. Thompson said he and the NPS have the same priority: to ensure the transition of power is a peaceful one by creating buffers between opposing groups—but it’s a task easier said than done. A war of words is already raging on social media, with the bikers’ Facebook group 2 Million 2 DC declaring it will “stop the libtards from ruining the welcoming event,” while Act Now to Stop War and End Racism intends to take to the streets for “a real political revolution” under the hashtag #InaugurateTheResistance. Thompson said the bikers he knows aren’t violent or aggressive. They are “good, salt-of-the-earth” people unfairly branded as criminals when, really, they organize around shared veteran status or church affiliation. However, he added, good intentions have yet to mend the bitter divides carved out during the 2016 election cycle, prompting security concerns for the inauguration. The New York Times reported three dozen security agencies have been added to what will already be a strong law enforcement presence at Trump’s swearing-in, which will take place Friday, Jan. 20 in D.C. Meanwhile, Idaho Republican Party Chairman Steve Yates is looking forward to the festivities. He had already been planning to travel to the capital for the the GOP National Committee winter meeting regardless of the outcome of the election. “It certainly would be an entirely different atmosphere if we had lost,” Yates said. It would, but victories in the White House and both chambers of Congress have emboldened Republicans. Yates said he anticipates the repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act, a BOISE WEEKLY.COM

important to Idahoans, such as reforming our broken regulatory system, tax code and addressing the costs associated with health care.” Rep. Raul Labrador (R-Idaho) was briefly considered for the position of secretary of the interior but, on Dec. 15, Trump announced he had selected Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-Mont.) for the role. Nonetheless, Labrador Press Secretary Dan Popkey said his boss has established a good rapport with Trump during a series of vetting interviews.

“United government presents an historic opportunity to keep the promises Republicans made to get elected, including reducing our crushing national debt; repealing and replacing Obamacare; immigration, tax and regulatory reform; and giving localities and states more say in the management of federal lands,” Popkey said. The Women’s March on Washington, set for Saturday, Jan. 21, will shake up the political mix in the city even further. A reaction to Trump’s misogynistic and racist statements, the march will be attended by people from every corner of the U.S. One marcher is Sandpoint resident Krista Eberle, who is traveling to Washington with her daughter. She said she was astonished by Trump’s rhetoric and policy proposals and disheartened by the outcome of the election. “I’m going in part for myself, but it’s not just about me,” Eberle said. “I’m worried about my current and future grandchildren.” While she opposes Trump, Eberle also wants to engage with Trump supporters to learn how they came to their decision. “I think we’re all fearful, and we’re fearful of the same things, but we see them differently,” she said. “I’d like to have a dialogue.” It’s a desire echoed by Thompson. He wonders where the respect has gone between political rivals and, while he believes Trump’s election represents a positive cultural trend, he thinks people put too much stock in the presidency. “It seems like we live and die by who the president is, and that’s a mindset that needs to change,” he said. “Our attention needs to go to the legislative branch.” As for Yates, he said he’s too familiar with the experience of being disappointed on previous inauguration days. In particular, he recalled being in Washington, D.C. when President Barack Obama was sworn into office in January 2009. Eight years later, as the capital braces for what may be the most contentious inauguration in modern history, Yates said he hopes some Trump opponents will embrace unity. “Inauguration is an event for the country, not for an individual and not for a political party,” he said. “Peaceful transfer of power is one of those great American miracles.”

Gov. Otter would be more than happy to pull up stakes for Washington, D.C.

OTTER STILL WAITING FOR TRUMP’S CALL Either the U.S. Department of Agriculture isn’t that critical to the incoming Trump administration or the process of who should head the agency—which boasts a budgetbusting $140 billion spending plan—is more complex than many had thought. Considering Idaho Governor C.L. “Butch” Otter is thought by many D.C.-insiders to be a prime candidate to serve as Trump’s agriculture secretary, the Gem State has plenty of skin in the game. Start with the fact that agribusiness is responsible for approximately 20 percent of Idaho’s total economic output—more than $25 billion in sales. Next, consider that agribusiness accounts for approximately 124,000 Idaho jobs, or one in every seven jobs in the state. Then there’s Otter himself, who has made no secret he would be more than anxious to say “yes” to Trump. “I would love that opportunity,” Otter said during a Jan. 6 preview of his State of the State address. Otter quickly added that, if selected, he would be comfortable turning over the keys to the governor’s ofﬁce to Lieutenant Governor Brad Little. “The state would be in pretty good hands. I wouldn’t have [applied] if I had any doubt about the future leadership of the state,” he said. Otter has already indicated he will not run for re-election in 2018 and Little is already considered to be a GOP frontrunner for the post. “Every now and then I’ll get a question from somebody on [Trump’s] transition team,” said Otter. “Most of the questions have come from a narrow focus.” Meanwhile, USDA is ofﬁcially without a leader. President Barack Obama’s Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack resigned, effective Jan. 13, taking a pointed shot at Trump for dragging his heels on a successor. “I just think it puts the incoming secretary in a tough spot,” Vilsack told Politico. “This individual will not have much time.” Vilsack added he would leave a personal note on his desk for only his successor to read, hopefully sooner than later. —George Prentice BOISEweekly c JANUARY 18-24, 2017 c 7

Dawn of a neo age.

MOSTLY MUFF PRESENTS “A VERY SPECIAL INAUGURATION DAY SHOW” When voters elected hotel tycoon and reality TV star Donald Trump as our next President, they ignored him mocking disabled Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter Serge Kovaleski, calling Mexican immigrants criminals and rapists, threatening to ban Muslims from entering the country and being the preferred candidate of the Kremlin, neo-Nazis and the KKK. The election stirred the indignation of millions, including one of Boise’s most socially engaged bands, Mostly Muff, which is hosting an Inauguration Day show at The Linen Building, with a dozen acts including G1RL CR3W, Sun Blood Stories, Marshall Poole, With Child, Bijouxx and more, sharing their outrage through protest and punk songs. 6 p.m.-midnight, $5 donation.

WOMEN’S MARCH ON IDAHO

MLK KEYNOTE SPEAKER: TAVIS SMILEY

Following the presidential election, Boise students Nora Harren and Colette Raptosh decided to combat fear and divisiveness by founding People for Unity and organizing a nonpartisan Women’s March on Idaho, one of many rallies being held in concurrence with the Women’s March on Washington on Saturday, Jan. 21. The Women’s March on Idaho kicks off at the Capitol Building and moves toward Boise City Hall, where a number of speakers will take the stage, such as Senate Assistant Minority Leader Cherie Buckner-Webb, LGBTQ activist Dianne Piggott, State Representative Melissa Wintrow, former House Minority Chief of Staff Jen Martinez, and Asmaa Albukaie, Idaho’s ﬁrst Syrian refugee. “This is about inspiring and honoring those who champion human rights, dignity, diversity and justice,” Raptosh said. 10 a.m.-2 p.m. FREE.

Culminating a week of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.-inspired celebrations and service events at Boise State University, author, philanthropist, and talk show host Tavis Smiley will deliver a keynote address about “Why the Message Still Matters.” Smiley has written dozens of books, including Death of a King: The Real Story of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’.s Final Year, and a memoir about his friendship with Maya Angelou. “He has a passion to educate about the black experience, black history, black responsibility, black achievement and black people,” said Charlie Rose, writing about Smiley being named one of Time magazine’s “100 Most Inﬂuential People” in 2009. “In the end, it is not just about Tavis, not just about African Americans... It is about an unﬁnished American agenda that serves us all.” 7-9:30 p.m. FREE. Boise State Student Union, 1910 University Drive, 208-426-5800, events.boisestate.edu. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

DOROTHY, JAN. 20, THE OLYMPIC There’s good reason L.A.-based rock group Dorothy made Rolling Stone Magazine’s list of 2014 artists to know. Inspired by Black Sabbath and AC/DC, the band shreds all the way back to an era of unadulterated metal—no gimmicks allowed. Dorothy stands out from a multitude of unremarkable late-’60s inspired look-alikes, thanks in large part to the uniquely incredible vocals—and perfect pitch—of lead singer and band namesake, Dorothy Martin. As talented as other heroines of rock fame, Martin teases a hint of husky rasp like Janis Joplin, can belt out lyrics like Joan Jett and exercises seemingly effortless melodic control reminiscent of Nancy Wilson. Take Martin and her talented band, add a bit of Southern gothic ﬂavor, and get Dorothy—and a show worth way more than the cost of tickets. —Sami Edge With The Georgia Flood. 7 p.m., $12.50 adv., $15 door.

ERIC JOHN KAISER, JAN. 21, VINE WINE SHOP The great chanteurs of the 20th century—French singers like Jacques Brel and Serge Gainsbourg—trafficked in smoky, jazzinfluenced pop dripping with an inimitable Gallic sense of world weariness. While Eric John Kaiser’s honeyed voice traipses through the “language of love” like the best of them, his style is distinctly western—and we don’t mean Western European. Born in Paris, Kaiser eventually settled in Portland, Ore., although “settled” probably isn’t the right word. The singer-songwriter covers nearly 10,000 miles per year touring all of North America. During his travels, Kaiser has soaked up an Americana style evoking the lonely expanses of the Midwest, rocking sounds of the South and contemplative style of his adopted Pacific Northwest home. Touring behind his September 2016 self-released Made in Gaspesie (which he recorded in Quebec), Kaiser returns to La Ville des Arbres for an intimate show sure to be magnifique. —Zach Hagadone 6 p.m., FREE.

SCREEN MOTHERS AND OTHERS

Heartfelt 20th Century Women explores love, life and coming of age in the ’70s GEORGE PRENTICE

Not a moment too soon, 20th Century Women, a film wrapped in a 21st century embrace, is coming to Boise. Director/screenwriter Mike Mills’ lifeenriching tapestry will, for years to come, be considered one of the best of 2016. 20th Century Women should also be recognized by the Motion Picture Academy (the film has had limited screenings in New York and Los Angeles to be eligible for the Oscars) when nominations are doled out on Tuesday, Jan. 25—particularly for Annette Bening’s radiant lead performance. January has long been relegated to being a so-called “spillover” month, when the best-ofthe-best finally find a theatrical home after the overcrowded field of holiday films winnows away. 20th Century Women is worth the wait. While this film isn’t hobbled by any particular political leanings, it’s also evident that 20th Century Women may be the sought-after salve to the misogyny-riddled annus horribilis that wrapped with Donald Trump’s rise to power—especially because of how 20th Century Women uses another U.S. President’s critical moment in history that may best answer the question: When did it start to go wrong? Deep into the film’s third act, Dorothea (Bening) and her friends are watching President Jimmy Carter’s now-iconic July 1979 “crisis of confidence” address to the nation. Carter shamed the nation for what he called a rising tide of “self-indulgency” instead of a “more satisfying longing for greater meaning.” “We are at a turning point in our history,” said Carter, warning of a “path that leads to fragmentation and self-interest.” Watching Carter’s address, Dorothea reacts with optimism, calling the speech “brilliant,” while most of her

CITIZEN BETH CUNNINGHAM A true visionary GEORGE PRENTICE

A giant aerial photo of the Idaho Capitol sits behind Beth Cunningham’s desk at the Idaho Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired, waiting to be framed and hung. It’s not just any photo of the Statehouse: In it, nearly 1,000 people stand hand-in-hand encircling the Capitol as part of the July 2015 commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. “I’m in there somewhere,” said Cunningham, who is beginning her second year as chief administrator of the Idaho Commission for the Blind. Cunningham has championed the rights of people with disabilities for most of her life. Her father was a professor specializing in rehabilitation counseling, and her mother was a special education teacher. From an early age, Cunningham wanted to be a counselor, but also loved the outdoors, so when she got the chance to move from her home state of Tennessee to Colorado to pursue a master’s degree in vocational rehabilitation counseling—all while working as a river guide in the summer and at a ski resort in the winter—she took it. In 1994, she moved to Idaho to work for the Idaho Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, followed by a 12-year stint with Community Partnerships of Idaho and teaching graduate courses on rehab counseling at the University of Idaho-Boise campus. A year ago, Cunningham became the latest executive to oversee the ICBVI, which has been serving Idahoans since 1967. What encouraged you to pursue this job? I feel like I’ve always been an advocate for people with disabilities. When they hired me, they added a special stipulation. Are you familiar with something called “shades training?” [Cunningham reached behind her desk and lifted up a white cane and eye mask]. The commission board said I should undergo 150 hours of shades training. I didn’t know it was called “shades training” but, yes, I’ve seen your staﬀ and clients wearing the mask, using the cane and navigating their way across downtown Boise. Most of the people you see are students. Maybe it’s someone who is going blind or someone who has always been blind but may have partial sight, but that can be deceiving, and the individual may rely too heavily on their limited vision. So, we wear the mask. It starts with mobility where an instructor walks with you and helps you

18 c JANUARY 18-24, 2017 c BOISEweekly

cross a street. After a while, the student is given an address where they have to find it on their own. The instructor is usually across the street or a short distance away. This time of year, particularly with this record setting snowfall and ice, must be a nightmare. It’s difficult. Even one of our staff members took a fall this past week. There’s a state of emergency, but people still have to get to work or go to the store. How many Idahoans do you serve annually? Last year, it was more than 2,000. That number goes up every year. In 2013, it was 1,660. Do you have a sense of how many Idahoans are blind? According to the National Association of the Blind, about 2 percent of the general population is legally blind. This will be your ﬁrst year to go hat in hand before the Idaho Legislature’s budget writers, the Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee. My day is Wednesday, Jan. 18. It will be my first experience. They’re changing the format a bit this year. They don’t want extended presentations with PowerPoints. They want brief opening remarks and then they want to get right into the budget. Good luck with that. I’m getting advice from as many people as possible. Can I assume that there is tangible joy in your work? One of our former students—she’s from eastern Idaho—sent us a video recently. She’s getting ready to go off to college and she wanted to let us know how grateful she was for her time with us. Last May, three of our former students came back to share their own stories: how they felt hopeless and never felt normal. Then they were thrilled to share how our training allowed them to gain independence, go to college, get a job and rely on themselves. To see them gain their independence—that’s pure joy.

WINESIPPER WINTERIZE YOUR PALATE Port comes in two main styles. Tawnies are aged long-term in cask, becoming slightly oxidized and turning brownish in color. Rubies are bottled much sooner, retaining a freshness and ruby red color. Tawny pairs well with Marcona almonds and hard cheeses like Pecorino or aged Gouda. Ruby prefers walnuts and blue cheeses. Both work well with chocolate and as a winter warmer. KOPKE 10 YEAR TAWNY, $30 The 10-year designation denotes the average age of the wines in the blend. A translucent chestnut in color, the aromas are a mix of candied fruit, walnuts and fresh baked sticky buns. Creamy caramel and dried apricot mark the sweet palate, balanced by a cleansing hit of acidity. A nice bit of heat comes through on the finish. FONSECA BIN 27, $15 Like non-vintage Champagne, vintage character ruby ports strive for a consistent house style by blending different lots from different years. Fonseca’s entry is an opaque garnet in the glass, while light fruit cake aromas mark the nose. The flavors are round and ripe with dark berry, chocolate and caramel. A great value. 2011 TAYLOR-FLADGATE LATE BOTTLE VINTAGE, $23 Ruby ports from declared vintages are bottled within 2 ½ years, designed to age and improve in the bottle for a decade or more. Late bottled ports are also made from a single vintage, but spend four to six years maturing before being bottled and are ready to drink on release. This Taylor-Fladgate is a great example. Heady chocolate and cherry aromas burst from the glass, while silky red berry and cherry truffle flavors caress the palate.

Good journalism is a journey. When done well, it grabs readers by the lapels, transports them somewhere they’ve never been before and teaches them things they didn’t know. Interactive storytelling platforms

NeighBOORly

DEAR MINERVA, We live across the street from a strange person. The day we moved in, ﬁve years ago, I waved and said “hi” only to be greeted with a VERY angry face and mutterings. There is no way to communicate with him. He stands across the street and calls me “fatty,” repeatedly, like a 6-year-old. I do not respond. Now he has escalated to backing his truck almost into our yard when leaving his driveway. There is no need. I ALWAYS lock the doors, as I am afraid to have them unlocked when my husband is away. I am not sure what to do at this point. I can almost feel the waves of anger from him. I was considering going to the police, but am almost sure this would only escalate things further. Any suggestions would be helpful. I am starting to feel threatened. Thank you, —Feeling Afraid

It’s run by a design professor at Carnegie Mellon University for the purpose of “keeping a record of this moment in media history,” according to the site. Whether you’re into news, sports, music or whatever, check it out. Of hundreds of projects, you’re sure to get lost in at least one unforgettable journey. It’s journalism at its finest. —Sami Edge

DEAR AFRAID, I am not a legal professional, so I encourage you to seek legal advice from the police or an attorney. My suggestion to you is to document every instance of his behavior. You will want proof to show authorities. With the way it is escalating, you should at least reach out to the police department for advice. I know you are hesitant to involve them but there are laws about disturbing the peace, which is exactly what he is doing. He is already causing you to feel afraid and threatened. No one should have to live in terror. SUBMIT questions to Minerva’s Breakdown at bit.ly/MinervasBreakdown or mail them to Boise Weekly, 523 Broad St., Boise, ID 83702.

TED RALL

JEN SORENSEN

HOBO JARGON

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Are you more attracted to honing group dynamics or liberating group dynamics? Do you have more aptitude as a director who organizes people or as a sparkplug who inspires people? Would you rather be a chief executive officer or a chief imagination officer? Questions like these will be fertile for you to meditate on in the coming weeks. The astrological omens suggest it’s time to explore and activate more of your potential as a leader or catalyst. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): An eccentric Frenchman named Laurent Aigon grew up near an airport, and always daydreamed of becoming a commercial pilot. Sadly, he didn’t do well enough in school to fulfill his wish. Yet he was smart and ambitious enough to accomplish the next best thing: assembling a realistic version of a Boeing 737 cockpit in his home. With the help of Google, he gathered the information he needed and ordered most of the necessary parts over the internet. The resulting masterpiece has enabled him to replicate the experiences of being a pilot. It’s such a convincing copy that he has been sought as a consultant by organizations that specialize in aircraft maintenance. I suggest you attempt a comparable feat, Taurus: creating a simulated version of what you want. I bet it will eventually lead you to the real thing.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The weather may be inclement where you live, so you may be resistant to my counsel. But I must tell you the meanings of the planetary omens as I understand them, and not fret about whether you’ll act on them. Here’s my prescription, lifted from Henry David Thoreau’s Walden: “We need the tonic of wildness, to wade sometimes in marshes where the bittern and the meadow-hen lurk, and hear the booming of the snipe; to smell the whispering sedge where only some wilder and more solitary fowl builds her nest, and the mink crawls with its belly close to the ground.” And why does Thoreau say we need such experiences? “We must be refreshed by the sight of inexhaustible vigor, to witness our own limits transgressed.” CANCER (June 21-July 22): Welcome to the most deliciously enigmatic, sensually mysterious phase of your astrological cycle. To provide you with the proper nonrational guidance, I have stolen scraps of dusky advice from the poet Dansk Javlarna (danskjavlarna. tumblr.com). Please read between the lines: 1. Navigate the ocean that roars within the seashell. 2. Carry the key, even if the lock has been temporarily lost. 3. Search through the deepest shadows for the bright light that cast them. 4. Delve into the unfathomable in wordless awe of the inexplicable.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): What exactly would a bolt of lightning taste like? I mean, if you could somehow manage to roll it around in your mouth without having to endure the white-hot shock. There’s a booze manufacturer that claims to provide this sensation. The company known as Oddka has created “Electricity Vodka,” hard liquor with an extra fizzy jolt. If any sign of the zodiac could safely approximate eating a streak of lightning without the help of Electricity Vodka, it would be you Leos. These days you have a special talent for absorbing and enjoying and integrating fiery inspiration. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Eighteenth-century painter Joshua Reynolds said that a “disposition to abstractions, to generalizing and classification, is the great glory of the human mind.” To that lofty sentiment, his fellow artist William Blake responded, “To generalize is to be an idiot; to particularize is the alone distinction of merit.” So I may be an idiot when I make the following generalization, but I think I’m right: In the coming weeks, it will be in your best interests to rely on crafty generalizations to guide your decisions. Getting bogged down in details at the expense of the big picture— missing the forest for the trees—is a potential pitfall that you can and should avoid.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal penned the novel Dancing Lessons for the Advanced in Age. It consists of one sentence, but it’s a long, rambling sentence—117 pages’ worth. It streams from the mouth of the narrator, who is an older man bent on telling all the big stories of his life. If there were ever to come a time when you, too, would have cosmic permission and a poetic license to deliver a one-sentence, 117-page soliloquy, Libra, it would be in the coming weeks. Reveal your truths! Break through your inhibitions! Celebrate your epic tales! (P.S.: Show this horoscope to the people you’d like as your listeners.)

I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because I suspect that you, too, are on the verge of locating a monumental new addition to your universe.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): When Pluto was discovered in 1930, astronomers called it the ninth planet. They changed their mind 76 years later. In accordance with shifting definitions, they demoted Pluto to the status of a mere “dwarf planet.” In recent years, two renowned astronomers at Caltech have found convincing evidence for a new ninth planet. Konstantin Batygin and Michael E. Brown are tracking an object that is much larger than Earth. Its orbit is so far beyond Neptune’s that it takes 15,000 years to circle the sun. As yet it doesn’t have an official name, but Batygin and Brown informally refer to it as “Phattie.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Some guy I don’t know keeps sending me emails about great job opportunities he thinks I’d like to apply for: a technical writer for a solar energy company, for example, and a social media intern for a business that offers travel programs. His messages are not spam. The gigs are legitimate. And yet I’m not in the least interested. I already have several jobs I enjoy, like writing these horoscopes. I suspect that you, too, may receive worthy but ultimately irrelevant invitations in the coming days, Capricorn. My advice: If you remain faithful to your true needs and desires, more apropos offers will eventually flow your way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The tomato and potato are both nightshades, a family of flowering plants. Taking advantage of this commonality, botanists have used the technique of grafting to produce a pomato plant. Its roots yield potatoes, while its vines grow cherry tomatoes. Now would be a good time for you to experiment with a metaphorically similar creation, Sagittarius. Can you think of how you might generate two useful influences from a single source?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The word “naysayer” describes a person who’s addicted to expressing negativity. A “yeasayer,” on the other hand, is a person who is prone to expressing optimism. According to my assessment of the astrological omens, you can and should be a creative yeasayer in the coming days—both for the sake of your own well-being and that of everyone whose life you touch. For inspiration, study Upton Sinclair’s passage about Beethoven: He was “the defier of fate, the great yeasayer.” His music is “like the wind running over a meadow of flowers, superlative happiness infinitely multiplied.” PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If I’m feeling prosaic, I might refer to a group of flamingos as a flock. But one of the more colorful and equally correct terms is a “flamboyance” of flamingos. Similarly, a bunch of pretty insects with clubbed antennae and big fluttery wings may be called a kaleidoscope of butterflies. The collective noun for zebras can be a dazzle, for pheasants a bouquet, for larks an exaltation, and for finches a charm. In accordance with current astrological omens, I’m borrowing these nouns to describe members of your tribe. A flamboyance or kaleidoscope of Pisceans? Yes! A dazzle or bouquet or exaltation or charm of Pisceans? Yes! All of the above.
