EDITOR’S NOTE GIVING, GIGGING AND GRADUATING Politicians, chamber of commerce boosters and business types love to tout “the Idaho spirit” of rugged DIY-ism and can-doitude. Truth be told, the Gem State is pretty bootstrappy—because it has to be. With Boise’s distinction as “the most remote metropolitan area in the lower 48” and the generally rural, lowwage nature of our state, if we don’t have something, we make it.

On Thursday, May 4, the willingness of Idahoans to band together and pitch in for the common good will be on full display with the fourth annual Idaho Gives—a 24-hour nonprofit support-a-thon when residents of all economic status will donate what they can to help keep afloat a raft of charities and causes whose vital services we’d otherwise go without.

Boise Weekly News Editor George Prentice checked in with three nonprofit organizations of varying size to gauge the importance of Idaho Gives. Spoiler alert: It’s super important. Find his report on Page 6.

Adding to the significance of May 4, it’s also First Thursday, which means a host of entertainment and events downtown.

Check out all the happenings beginning on Page 8.

On Page 19, read BW freelancer Chris Parker’s profile of Seattle-based singer-songwriter Sera Cahoone, whose new album follows her 2012 surprise sensation Deer Creek Canyon, which NPR tapped as one of the 10 best releases of the year. If past is prelude, her recent record From Where I Started will also succed.

Frequent BW music contributor Ben Schultz has a conversation with Samwise Carlson (a.k.a. local band Tispur), who dropped his debut album Sleepy Creature in late April. Despite Carlson’s young age, Schultz writes his dreamy mix of cryptic lyrics and melancholia have made Tispur “one of the most mesmerizing local acts in recent years.” Get the whole story on Page 20.

Another highlight in this week’s paper is a chat between Prentice and Oceane Pelloille, who will serve as the commencement speaker at the 100th Boise State University graduation ceremony on Friday, May 5. Meet this distinguished student on Page 23.

OPINION

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

OPINION THE LINGERING STINK How do we get rid of it after he’s out BILL COPE This is addressed to those citizens who already know our country is in damn deep doo-doo.

Let’s say this rolls out as it appears, increasingly, to be rolling out. Let’s say at some point in the coming months, it is convincingly demonstrated to all but the irredeemably dense that the most egregious betrayal of American democracy, ever, did indeed happen last November. Let’s say that by... to take a random stab at the calendar...

Independence Day, we know beyond reasonable doubt that the election was stolen from Hillary Clinton—lock, stock and, yes, electoral college— and more relevantly, that it was stolen from the substantial majority who voted for her.

Then, if it gets that far—as it already has for anyone who has been watching the dots being inexorably connected—let’s say we know with certainty how such a desecration of our 240-plus year process for choosing presidents was accomplished: that it was managed through covert manipulation by a hostile foreign power, and with the cooperation of highly placed individuals within the Trump campaign.

Let us say further that by July 4, the dots have been connected well beyond the grungy Paul Manafort dot, the noxious Mike Flynn dot, the idiot Carter Page dot and the wormy Jeff Sessions dot. Let us say those damning connections have reached all the way to the DIC (Dot-In-Chief), and we know—at least, those of us with enough concern for America’s future to care to know— that the very individual who boasts of being the only one who can Make America Great Again played an active role in the greatest act of treason to our nation since the Confederacy tried to dissolve the Union by force of arms. By then, we would also know, let’s say, that since taking office, he has been frantically trying to hide his culpability under distraction, bluster and force of arms.

(I admit there is an awfully lot of “let’s say” in this presentation. Given the reality that about two-thirds of this conjecture has already been established—not to mention that the DIC himself is on tape inviting the hostile foreign power to interfere in the campaign—I’m confident that whatever limb I’m out on is sturdy and thick, and about as liable to break as the DIC is to finish a four-year term. With that said, let us continue...)

Let’s say that by Labor Day—as the portrait of criminal conspiracy has been fleshed out so vividly that even groveling invertebrates like Paul Ryan can no longer pretend they don’t smell anything—that the mechanism to remove the DIC from office has been set in motion. And let us say that by Veterans Day, the eyes of America are glued to the wide screens, watching the impeachment trial and, that by New Year’s Day, the BOISE WEEKLY.COM

ex-POTUS is either residing permanently in Mara-Lago, Trump Tower (provided his wife lets him back in) or, most appropriately, a federal prison.

My fellow anxious citizens, it is then—when the avalanche of evidence has settled and the rotten bastard is buried under it—that we have our most vital, most far-reaching, decisions to make.

Once the Trump presidency is a thing of the shameful past, are you and I going to sit by and allow anything he has done during his defilement of the nation’s top office to stand? *** The most pressing reason that we, the anxious ones, are so anxious is not so much the damage coming directly from the MOAC (Mother Of All Creeps)—given that he has proven to be even more stupid and incompetent than we feared just a few months ago—but from the institutional damage his appointments are doing to the agencies they’ve been assigned to administer: The EPA under Scott Pruitt, Education under DeVos, everyday affronts to human decency by ICE agents, the threats to the arts, to science, to the nation’s health, the Supreme Court with Neil Gorsuch on it, Mike Pence as the replacement creep... these travesties and more are the Trump legacy taking hold even as this is being written. Even as the MOAC is looking more and more like a fragile porcelain grotesquery teetering on the edge of a big smash, the machinery he has set in motion will roll on—if we allow it.

When our worst fears are confirmed—when we know that it was treason that gained this swine the presidency—we must assume that the people he’s appointed were as aware of the festering stink around him as we were. Most likely long before we were. Yet they agreed to become part of his scheme anyway. That, in my book, makes them co-conspirators.

So to this anxious citizen, it’s simple. Would we allow the aftermath of any other criminal act to stand? If a thief burglarized our home, made off with everything of value and vandalized what he couldn’t carry away, would we complacently allow the thief’s cronies—the aiders, abettors, the accomplices—to benefit from his crimes?

When the traitor Trump has been removed, will we meekly endure the continuing disorder in our home—our neighborhoods, our society, our world—without fighting like angry Marines to set it right? Are we going to flush out every vestige of the Trump stain, and put our nation back to where it was before the bully broke it? Or are we going to celebrate the outcome of one battle, even as we lose the war?

FYI: Supreme Court justices and vice presidents can be impeached, too.

NEWS SWEET CHARITY

Big changes in store for Idaho Gives 2017 GEORGE PRENTICE Access to the Boise Foothills may be the “line in the sand” for a 120-unit housing development.

BOISE FOOTHILLS FLAP Residents of the Central Foothills Neighborhood Association won’t be afforded an opportunity to speak before the Idaho Supreme Court when, on Wednesday, May 3, the high court considers a lawsuit over access to the Boise Foothills. Neighbors aren’t even a party to the suit, in which developers say they need access between Hillside Park and the Quail Hollow Golf Course in order to build 120 units on foothill ridges.

“We totally understand that there are 63 acres of private property which has been zoned for development,” said Central Foothills resident Emily Boehner. “But this is about access.”

Partnerships Boise Hollow Land Holding and Beard and Musser are suing the city of Boise because the city has refused to expand an easement into the private property. It turns out that Ada County officials had insisted appropriate roads would need to be developed in order to provide access for emergency vehicles into the proposed development.

“And indeed, a lower Ada County Court ruling agreed with the city of Boise that the city didn’t have to create a special easement,” said Boehner. “And if the developers ever got their way with that easement, they would probably have to take land from the city of Boise on one side and the Boise School District on the other side to expand the road. The school district owns the one side of the property because it’s part of Hillside Junior High.”

Sitting nearby is Quail Hollow Golf Course, donated to the city of Boise in December 2013 and which saw its busiest season ever in 2016. That, in turn, inspired the developers to pursue the construction of 120 units on their private land just above the golf course.

“Is this a line in the sand for this development? Let’s see,” said Boehner. “But you can bet that a lot of us will be in court to watch.

Stay tuned.”

Sixty-five dollars may pay for a fancy dinner, a bottle of wine, a new shirt or maybe a concert ticket. It also happens to be the average donation made last year on Idaho Gives, an annual day of giving when tens of thousands of Idahoans pitch in to help keep the home fires burning and the lights on for hundreds of Gem State charities. We asked representatives of three nonprofits what $65 could do for them.

“Oh, my gosh. Sixty-five dollars? That would be amazing,” said Life’s Kitchen Director of Development and Communications Ciara Allen.

Founded in 2003, Life’s Kitchen has provided life-changing skill sets and self-sufficiency to hundreds of at-risk young adults.

Some of its income is derived from catering or the nonprofit’s popular cafe, but an increasing amount of its overhead is funded through individual donations, which is why Idaho Gives is such an asset for organizations like Life’s Kitchen.

“A $65 donation would buy a lot of ingredients for us to turn into some amazing food,” said Allen. “And that, in turn, helps to create the next generation of chefs, cooks and food service workers.”

Melissa Bixby’s eyes also lit up at the thought of a $65 donation through Idaho Gives. Bixby is the program director—and only full-time staff member—of Girls on the Run Treasure Valley, a nonprofit that guides third- to fifth-grade girls through a semesterlong journey of body- and soul-building, culminating in a celebratory 5K run.

“Sixty-five dollars? That would go a long way to pay for a girl’s entire semester. We charge on a sliding scale ... and we offer a lot of scholarships,” said Bixby. “What can I say?

A donation like that could change a girl’s life.”

Marsha Tennyson, founder of Chrysalis Women’s Transitional Living, said a $65 donation would help subsidize a woman coming from incarceration, homelessness, addiction or all of the above.

“Hundreds of women have walked through the doors of Chrysalis,” said Tennyson. “With us, they’ll attend their recovery meetings, learn life skills like budgeting, and find and

keep a job. It’s about integrity and healthy relationships with themselves and others.”

Allen, Bixby and Tennyson easily answered the $65 question—maybe because they’ve all been busy preparing for Idaho Gives 2017, which this year falls on Thursday, May 4. The three women had never met before and were as interested in hearing each other’s stories as they were to tell their own.

“Just listening to you reminds me that… and I know this sounds corny… well, there’s something magical about Idaho Gives,” said Bixby. “On Thursday, we’ll have this amazing 24 hours of giving, and we’ll each be watching how our own nonprofit is doing with dona-

tions, but it’s even more exciting to see donations coming in to everybody else. Everybody wins. It’s, well, it’s...”

“It’s Idaho at its best, isn’t it?” said Allen.

“Everybody wins,” added Tennyson.

This was all music to the ears of Amy Little, president and CEO of Idaho Nonprofit Development Center, the driving force behind Idaho Gives.

“We have nonprofits across Idaho with budgets as small as $3,000, as large as $56.7 million and everything in between,” said Little. “I think most people would agree that giving feels pretty good, but it feels even better when we’re all part of something bigger.”

Little said expectations are pretty high for partner, KTVB-TV, which boasts the highest 2017 and the incentives to succeed are equally ratings, by far, in the Treasure and Magic valleys.

We solicited bids from all the possible media at IdahoGives.org, indicating how nonprofits are doing in each of the three groups. The sponsors in the region, and KTVB came out charities will be ranked, not based on dollars on top. We’re thrilled.”

The biggest “reset” at Idaho Gives won’t be received, but on unique donations. Cash prizes as visible as the coverage Channel 7 is already will be doled out to the top ten leaders in each of the large, medium and small categories at giving the event. Still, most donors probably the end of the 24-hour period. won’t notice it at all.

MUSIC AROUND DOWNTOWN Inspired by architecture.

WINGTIP PRESS “LEFTOVERS VII” Leftovers can be a welcome redux, the name of the criminally underrated HBO series starring Justin Theroux, or reimagined into something new. Leftovers are also the basis of a series of exhibits by local printmaking studio, Wingtip Press.

Submissions come from artists around the globe, who use “leftover” scraps of paper to create an edition of 14 small fine art prints. From those submissions, each participating artist receives 12 different prints, one is kept for an exhibit and one is sold via silent auction to raise funds for The Idaho Hunger Relief Task Force, a local nonprofit dedicated to “putting private and public resources into action statewide in order to eliminate hunger and provide food security for all Idahoans.”

The latest of these exhibits, Leftovers VII, opens on First Thursday at Ming Studios with live music, refreshments and more than 95 fine art prints for sale via silent auction. The event runs 3-9 p.m., and the auction closes at 8:30 p.m.

SWELL ARTIST COLLECTIVE The works in a Swell Artist Collective group show are as heterogenous as their local creators—yet they share a common theme. The exceptional SAC artists are given an idea or concept, like dinosaurs, mug shots or, as in the case of the upcoming show, local architecture. In partnership with the Idaho State Historic Preservation Office, the latest SAC exhibit is Buildings of Historic Boise Art Show, which will be on display 5-9 p.m. on First Thursday at The Owyhee. From among the collective’s 50-plus artists, 20 works of art inspired by Boise buildings are in the exhibit and for sale. Beer and wine will be available for sale, too, but parking, admission and the live music are all free. With work by some of the most talented and creative artists in this— and any other—area, this exhibit promises to be historic.

Live music is a big part of First Thursday happenings, and this First Thursday is no exception.

At High Note Cafe, catch sweet-voiced singer/songwriter Megan Nelson strumming her stuff. Down the road at Doc’s Bar, multi-talented local Laio will perform amid her own paintings and multimedia works. Over at City Hall, the Fettuccine Forum features renowned longtime Idaho composer Jim Cockey, who will present “Singing Their Story: A Tribute to the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes.” In the late 1860s, the Shoshone-Bannock were forcibly relocated to the Fort Hall Indian Reservation in Eastern Idaho. As part of the Boise sesquicentennial celebrations in 2013, former Boise Philharmonic music director Robert Franz commissioned Cockey to compose a work for the orchestra. The work, Sacred Land, tells the story of the long and often tragic history of the Shoshone-Bannock in Idaho. At the Fettuccine Forum, Cockey will share his process for composing Sacred Land, as well as his experiences and some excerpts from the work.

BOISE MUSIC WEEK

OPERA IDAHO PRESENTS: MASSINET’S WERTHER

With a direct threat to funding coming from the White House, support for the Meals on Wheels program is important now more than ever. Metro Meals on Wheels provides services to more than 1,600 senior citizens in Ada County each week, but it needs help.

You can do your part in sustaining this lifeline for homebound residents and get a sampling of stellar cuisine in return. The 20th annual Culinary Walkabout features at least 20 local restaurants ranging from Andrades to Zee Catering, who will gather Thursday, May 4 at the Boise Centre to offer some of their finest fare.

Adding a little flair to the affair—and in a nod to May 4 being Star Wars Day—this year’s Walkabout features a Star Wars theme, and participants are encouraged to dress for the occasion.

6-9 p.m.; $75, $500 table for 10. Boise Centre, 850 W. Front St., 208-336-8900, metromealsonwheels.net/culinary-walkabout.

Boise Music Week (which actually spans nine days) celebrates its 99th anniversary in 2017, and it still hits all the right notes.

The free entertainment steps off Friday, May 5 with international dance night at South Junior High School, followed on Saturday, May 6 with a lunchtime concert at the Julia Davis Park bandshell and jazz showcase that evening at South Junior. Over the following seven days there will be performances from gospel choirs, barbershop quartets and organ recitals.

The highlight this year will be five performances of the recent Broadway smash Mary Poppins at the Morrison Center. Unfortunately, Mary Poppins tickets have all been distributed, but the supercalifragilisticexpialidocious news is that there are eight other—free—Music Week events to choose from.

May 5-13, times vary. FREE. Multiple venues, boisemusicweek. org.

When then-24-year-old Johann Wolfgang von Goethe published his first novel, The Sorrows of Young Werther, he had no idea how much it would affect his life. When Goethe—who also wrote Faust, The Apprenticeship of Wilhelm Meister and Elective Affinities—died in 1832, Werther was his still most popular book, inspiring countless tributes and works of art. Among them is Werther, the four-act opera by Jules Massenet. Premiering 60 years after Goethe’s death, this drama lyrique introduced opera-goers to the longing and lovable titular character; his beautiful love interest, Charlotte; and her fiance, Albert. Catch this classic, presented by Opera Idaho, at The Egyptian with Julie Miller as Charlotte, Joshua Dennis as Werther and Jason Detwiler as Albert.

Friday, May 5, 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, May 7, 2:30 p.m.; $9-$72.

ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE, MAY 8, NEUROLUX On a long enough timeline, the wicked get their just desserts, evolution goes from theory to phenomenon and the various iterations of psychedelic prog rock collective Acid Mothers Temple begin to make sense.

There are several versions of AMT, each fronted by guitarist Kawabata Makoto, whose sometimes bluesy and always trippy style has generated legions of fans all over the world and spawned dozens of albums across numerous bands and music labels.

With its voluminous catalog, dizzying iterations and vast array of influences, there’s no easy entry point for AMT other than checking out one of the band’s shows and drinking deeply from its chalice of heavy metal, blues, free jazz, folk and psychedelia.

If you missed AMT’s appearance at Crazy Horse in 2015, another opportunity will present itself Monday, May 8 at Neurolux.

TURN AND FACE THE CHANGE

Sera Cahoone finds strength in exploring From Where I Started CHRIS PARKER Life holds less for the timid. Rather than accept the short end, Seattle folk singer/songwriter Sera Cahoone made a change. “First years I ever played my songs for anyone, my back was toward them and I sang down to the ground / Got so tired of being nervous that I finally turned around,” she sings on “Turned Around” the moving first track of her fourth album, From Where I Started (Lady Muleskinner Records, March 2017).

It’s an album rich in change and selfpossession. Not only did Cahoone play all the drums herself—she had previously entered the studio with a band in tow—but self-released the record. Unlike Deer Creek Canyon (Sub Pop, 2012), it’s not so much an album about going home as it is finding a place or a way to begin— perhaps again. That’s sort of why it’s been five years since her last release.

“I wasn’t even sure if I was going to put out another record. It’s these sorts of ups and downs and figuring out what I was doing in life,” she said. “I have grown up a lot and I think matured, and that comes through on this record, too. I just wanted to do it how I wanted to do it and I think that there’s a sense of maturity in that and a sense of just figuring out myself and life, you know?”

Cahoone grew up in Littleton, Colo., snowboarding, selling boards at a local shop and playing drums in bands.

“I knew from a very early age that I was pretty obsessed with music. I would constantly watch music videos and, you know, want to be on stage and playing in front of people,” she said. “I was extremely shy as a kid, so it’s pretty funny. Though I was a drummer, so I was in the background. But coming up to the front took a while for me to do.”

“A lot of my guitar playing is very rhythmic.

It’s pretty simple, and a lot of my guitar goes right with the drums,” she said. “Right when I write something I will want to get behind the drums and put some stuff to it and see where it goes.”

In a departure from the delicacy of open mics. prior releases, From Where I Started exchanges “It’s one of those things where I had played mystery for assurance. drums forever. I didn’t even bring my drums.

POST MODERN ART The Modern Hotel last spring announced 2016 would be the last year of Modern Art, a one-night event each May when artists transformed the hotel’s rooms into mini galleries.

Local artist Troy Passey—who had participated in Modern Art all nine years—joked with friends about how funny it would be if he booked his regular room and exhibited new work in 2017, as though oblivious that Modern Art was no more. Passey forgot about it until organizers got in touch and suggested the idea should come to fruition. So, in April, The Modern issued a press release with the headline “Local Artist Misses Memo. Will Do Modern Art Alone.” The release explained how Passey “missed the announcement that last year would be the final year,” and had already booked his regular room—Room 103—for the event.

“Taking pity on the poor man, we did not feel we could deny his quest to complete 10 years,” the release read, “and wishing to spare him the embarrassment, The Modern will welcome Troy back to show his work.”

Passey’s monochromatic artworks are spare and sublime, yet reveal his sense of humor, so it’s no surprise he is embracing the tongue-incheek situation—he titled the exhibit Denial: New Works. His approach, however, was exactly the same as Troy Passey if he’d been DENIAL: NEW WORKS preparing for The Modern Hotel, Room 103 Modern Art. Thursday, May 4, 5-10 p.m.

“I have a ton of work.

It’s what I’ve always done. I’ve always made work to show [at Modern Art]. I’m making a big piece for the bed, just like I always do,” Passey said. “Like I’ve always done,” he added, laughing, saying he even used an Alexa Rose grant he received to fund Denial.

The Modern is all in, too, taking the work seriously but leaning into the levity. Passey’s art for the infinite scroll—work created by a Modern Art artist and hung on the exterior of the hotel for a year—will be unveiled during his show. The hotel then ended the press release with this: “Please don’t mention that Passey missed the memo. It’s possible he still doesn’t know.”

Fantasy has always appealed to Samwise Carlson.

The young singer-songwriter’s stage name, Tispur, came from a type of character he created in the video game The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.

“Every time I’d make a dark elf character, I’d name it ‘Tispur’ because I thought that sounded like a dark elf name,” he said.

For a while, Carlson was so engrossed by fantasy stories, he confused fiction with fact.

“I spent a long time when I was a kid being homeschooled and reading a lot of fantasy books, playing fantasy video games—just living in a fantasy world until I was 18,” he said.

“And I literally believed you could be whisked away to Narnia or whatever.”

Carlson may know better now, but his music has that sense of magical transport. His cryptic lyrics, melancholy melodies and angelic vocals have made Tispur one of the most mesmerizing local acts in recent years.

Tispur’s debut album Sleepy Creature (Obsolete Media Objects, 2017) was released on April 24. Featuring pristine production by Brett Hawkins and contributions from musicians Jake Saunders, Kathleen Williams and Riley Anne Johnson, it promises to be one of the best local releases of the year. Physical copies of Sleepy Creature aren’t available in Boise yet, but listeners can stream or download it on Tispur’s Bandcamp page.

“It kind of was hard-hitting for me,” Carlson said, “being homeschooled and living in a tiny town and then trying to navigate through existential dread and what’s happening to our planet. So blending the two, which I do a little bit in this album—it’s magical, but then there’s songs like [‘The Hills are Alight’], which are very much about the eventual demise of our planet.”

Born in Mission Viejo, Calif., Carlson lived with his family in southern California before moving to Rigby in 2007.

“We lived in San Diego for a couple years after Mission Viejo, and we had friends there who moved to Boise. They just raved about Boise, and my parents were like, ‘Well, maybe we should move to Idaho.’ So they just did it.”

The open spaces of Rigby gave Carlson lots of room for his mind to wander.

“I definitely went out to the fields and

WINESIPPER SAVORING CHENIN BLANC Chenin Blanc is responsible for some of the best wines no one ever drinks. It’s a versatile variety, ranging from bone dry in style to dessert sweet—for this tasting, we opted for dry. Originating in the Loire Valley of France, Chenin Blanc is found in different wines there, the best known being Vouvray; but, as this tasting proved, it has achieved success in other places as well.

2016 DASHE “BLACK BART CUVEE” LES ENFANTS TERRIBLES CHENIN BLANC, $21 From a California winery better known for its Zinfandels, here’s an equally fine white that wins an award for longest name. Supple lime and spice aromas lead into flavors both rich and tangy; it’s an impeccably balanced combo of ripe apple, apricot and citrus.

“Black Bart” refers to the black concrete eggs used for its fermentation.

2014 FRANCOIS PINON VOUVRAY, LES TROIS ARGILES, $21 Opens with floral honeysuckle, white flowers, rose hip, clover and a classic touch of black walnut, typical of the variety. The amazingly complex palate unfolds to reveal layers of peach, lime, blood orange, lemon curd, coriander and more. The Vouvray is a delicious wine you’ll want to sip and savor.

2015 PROTEA CHENIN BLANC, $15 The nose of this South African entry is filled with bright, ripe stone fruit and mandarin orange with a hint of beeswax. The flavors are a lively mix of creamy citrus and peach, with crisp acidity coming through on the finish. Chenin Blanc is the most widely planted grape in South Africa, where it is also known as Steen, and was first brought to that country in the 1600s.

Perfection and cinema rarely intersect. While a handful of recent films have included superb performances or eye-popping effects, there have been precious few moments of take-yourbreath-away wonderment. I’m happy to report that such a moment occurs approximately 20 minutes into A Quiet Passion, the quietest of biopics starring Cynthia Nixon, whose wallop of a performance is easily the best of the year so far.

A young Emily Dickinson (Emma Bell) is sitting for a portrait photograph, known in the mid-19th century as a daguerreotype. The photographer, using an iodine-coated glass plate brushed by mercury vapor, holds the camera lens open as long as possible. What follows is a bit of magic. In the most seamless of dissolves, Dickinson starts to age through the daguerreotype lens as Bell becomes the older Nixon. You may even need to rub your eyes to believe that Dickinson has transformed. Never have I witnessed such poetic scope in dissolving from one actor to another. As a result, the audience is carried through a transition of time with fluidity, rather than the rigorous tick of a clock. It’s a masterwork moment from writer/director Terence Davies. That alone should put A Quiet Passion near the top of your list of must-see films.

While a student at Mount Holyoke College (where she would be drummed out for having not “awakened” to Jesus being her only savior), Dickinson wrote to a classmate, “I expect that I shall become the Belle of Amherst.”

History tells us that Dickinson would never become that “belle.” Instead, she lived a life of deepening reclusiveness at her parents’ home in Amherst, Mass. While her private writings became more prolific (her acclaim would only

“And that means some of the

There are several reasons to look forward to graduation Friday, May 5 at Boise State University, when the school will mark its 100th commencement. Beyond the excitement of that milestone, graduates will receive their diplomas on the iconic blue turf of Albertsons Stadium for the first time.

If the commencement speaker, student Oceane Pelloille, is nervous she sure doesn’t show it.

“Some people tell me sometimes, ‘Oh, the ocean is wild today’ or ‘The ocean is calm today.’

I guess my name truly fits my personality,” she said. “But, honestly, I’m feeling rather calm.”

She paused a moment and flashed a smile.

“Calm, but excited,” she added.

Pelloille came from her hometown of Caen, France to Boise State on a golf scholarship. Four years later, she’s an All-American champion golfer and, in addition to her studies in political science, American Sign Language and nonprofit management, she created Boise State’s first Make-a-Wish chapter and traveled to Jamaica to help build schools. Among her many distinctions, Pelloille will be the first member of her family to earn a college degree.

Do you look back on your time at Boise State as a stepping stone or a chapter that is coming to an end?

I’m closer to who I want to be. I gained a lot of wisdom and met people that definitely taught me a lot about the world and myself. Yes, it’s a stepping stone, but it’s also a chapter that I’ll share with my kids when I’m older. I’ll read them this chapter of my life’s book.

Are you feeling melancholy about leaving?

I’m super excited with what’s to come because I have a lot of dreams. But it’s going to be hard to leave this place that has been my home. I adore the people in this community. Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about these amazing people. I have all of these pictures in my mind. But there’s so much more to come. I can only be excited and keep going forward.

It appears as if you’re rather passionate about several social issues.

I find passion in serving others. Last year I went to Jamaica with several other students to BOISE WEEKLY.COM

I’ll be travelling to Central and South America—Mexico, Guatemala, Chile—for a month and a half. I’ll go back home to France for a bit, but then I’m moving to Montreal, Canada.

KITTY SOFT PAWS: I am playful, sweet and pretty, and I get to go home with my favorite cat tree.

What’s waiting for you in Montreal?

One of my passions is music. I’m a singer/ songwriter and Montreal is a great city for music.

It’s still a secret. Not public... yet.

So, let me take inventory here: you’re a bit of a poet, you’re brilliant, you’re a champion golfer, you’re a singer/songwriter and you want to change the world. Is that about right?

That’s about right.

But why Montreal? Do you know anyone there?

Yes, I have friends there. But it’s really about Montreal being such a great city for music. So, I’m going there to figure out my life’s next step.

Describe your music for me.

It’s a mix of soul and pop. It’s just the way I communicate. Music is my secret garden; it allows me to express my feelings.

PAGE BREAK $GYLFH IRU WKRVH RQ WKH YHUJH JUST FRIENDS?

DEAR MINERVA, I have feelings for a close friend of mine that she’s aware of. She’s been sending me mixed messages. I’d like to keep our friendship, but maybe get it to be more than that. She has had feelings for me in the past, but they might be gone. I have absolutely no idea about romance but even I know that this is precarious. What should I do in this situation?

Sincerely, —Helpless Romantic

MINERVA’S BREAKDOWN

SMART WI-FI LIGHT BULBS Our homes keep getting smarter—from security and kitchen appliances to our entertainment systems, more and more aspects of modern living are automated, even voice activated.

The newest innovation really lights up our lives. Type the words “Wi-Fi light bulb” into Google and you’ll see a wide variety of smart LED bulbs that interact with a wi-fi connection.

They couldn’t be simpler: Screw them in $14.99 and that’s it. Once connected to your Wi-Fi tp-link.com network, you’ll be able to control or program the bulb—including dimming—from your smartphone or tablet.

The Flux smart bulb from TP-Link (which has an advertised operating life of 13.7 years) even syncs with your music to turn your living room into a dance floor. Better yet, most smart bulbs can be voice controlled through your Amazon or Google Home gadgets.

Most of the bulbs are available at local home improvement stores with online prices beginning as low as $14.99 —George Prentice

DEAR HELPLESS, Oh l’amour! L’amour! L’amour! Romance is such a funny little thing, isn’t it? Once we start feeling things for someone, we also start second guessing ourselves and over analyzing everything. We can work ourselves up into quite a frenzy. You should look at the fact that there is a history and a friendship as good things. There is something to be said for being comfortable with someone and it doesn’t take much to stoke those coals into a full fledged fire.

Invite her to do things that you know she enjoys. Take her to her favorite places. Remind her why she liked you in the past. If she is anything like me, then she also needs you to be direct. Sometimes you have to come right out and say it. Either way, your friendship can be preserved. The same things that endear us to people as friends can endear us to people as lovers.

SUBMIT questions to Minerva’s Breakdown at bit.ly/MinervasBreakdown or mail them to Boise Weekly, 523 Broad St., Boise, ID 83702. All submissions remain anonymous.

TED RALL

JEN SORENSEN

HOBO JARGON

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Beware of feeling sorry for sharks that yell for help. Beware of trusting coyotes that act like sheep and sheep that act like coyotes.

Beware of nibbling food from jars whose contents are different from what their labels suggest. But wait: “Beware” is not my only message for you. I have these additional announcements: Welcome interlopers if they’re humble and look you in the eyes. Learn all you can from predators and pretenders without imitating them. Take advantage of any change that’s set in motion by agitators who shake up the status quo, even if you don’t like them.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): When poet Wislawa Szymborska delivered her Nobel Prize speech, she said that “whatever else we might think of this world—it is astonishing.” For a poet, she added, there is no such thing as the “ordinary world,” “ordinary life” and “the ordinary course of events.” What’s more, she said, “Nothing is usual or normal. Not a single stone and not a single cloud above it. Not a single day and not a single night after it. And above all, not a single existence, not anyone’s existence in this world.” I offer you her thoughts, Taurus, because I believe that in the next two weeks you will have an extraordinary potential to feel and act on these truths. You are granted a license to be astonished on a regular basis.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Would you consider enrolling in my Self-Pity Seminar? If so, you would learn that obsessing on self-pity is a means to an end, not a morass to get lost in. You would feel sorry for yourself for brief, intense periods so that you could feel proud and brave the rest of the time. For a given period—let’s say three days—you would indulge and indulge and indulge in self-pity until you entirely exhausted that emotion. Then you’d be free to engage in an orgy of self-healing, self-nurturing and self-celebration.

Ready to get started? Ruminate about the ways that people don’t fully appreciate you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In a typical conversation, most of us utter too many “uhs,” “likes,” “I means” and “you knows.” I mean, I’m sure that... uh... you’ll agree that, like, what’s the purpose of, you know, all that pointless noise? I have some good news to deliver about your personal use of language in the coming weeks, Cancerian. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you’ll have the potential to dramatically lower your reliance on needless filler. But wait, there’s more: Clear thinking and precise speech just might be your superpowers. As a result, your powers of persuasion should intensify. Your ability to advocate for your favorite causes may zoom.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In 1668, England named John Dryden its first poet laureate. His literary influence was so monumental that the era in which he published was known as the Age of Dryden. Twentieth-century poetry great T.S. Eliot said he was “the ancestor of nearly all that is best in the poetry of the 18th century.”

Curiously, Dryden had a low opinion of Shakespeare. “Scarcely intelligible,” he called the Bard, adding, “His whole style is so pestered with figurative expressions that it is as affected as it is coarse.” I foresee a comparable clash of titans in your sphere, Leo. Two major influences may fight it out for supremacy. One embodiment of beauty may be in competition with another. One powerful and persuasive force could oppose another. What will your role be? Mediator? Judge? Neutral observer? Whatever it is, be cagey.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Just this once, and for a limited time only, you have cosmic clearance to load up on sugary treats, leave an empty beer can in the woods, watch stupid TV and act uncool in front of the Beautiful People. Being totally well behaved and perfectly composed and strictly pure would compromise your mental health more than being naughty.

Besides, if you want to figure out what you are on the road to becoming, you will need to know more about what you’re not.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In addition to fashion tips, advice for the broken-hearted, midlifecrisis support and career counseling, I sometimes provide you with more mystical help. Like now. So if you need nuts-and-bolts guidance, I hope you’ll have the sense to read a more down-to-earth horoscope.

What I want to tell you is that the metaphor of resurrection is your featured theme. You should assume that it’s somehow the answer to every question. Rejoice in the knowledge that although a part of you has died, it will be reborn in a fresh guise.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Are you ready for the genie’s favors? Don’t rub the magic lamp unless you are.” That’s the message I saw on an Instagram meme.

I immediately thought of you. The truth is that up until recently, you have not been fully prepared for the useful but demanding gifts the genie could offer you. You haven’t had the self-mastery necessary to use the gifts as they’re meant to be used and, therefore, they were a bit dangerous to you. That situation has changed. Although you may still not be fully primed, you’re as ready as you can be. That’s why I say: RUB THE MAGIC LAMP! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may have heard the exhortation “Follow your bliss,” which was popularized by mythologist Joseph

Campbell. After studying the archetypal stories of many cultures throughout history, he concluded that it was the most important principle driving the success of most heroes. Here’s another way to say it: Identify the job or activity that deeply excites you, and find a way to make it the center of your life. In his later years, Campbell worried that too many people had misinterpreted “Follow your bliss” to mean “Do what comes easily.” That’s all wrong, he said. Anything worth doing takes work and struggle.

“Maybe I should have said, ‘Follow your blisters,’” he laughed. I bring this up, Sagittarius, because you are now in an intense “Follow your blisters” phase of following your bliss.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The versatile artist Melvin Van Peebles has enjoyed working as a filmmaker, screenwriter, actor, composer and novelist. One of his more recent efforts was a collaboration with the experimental band The Heliocentrics. Together they created a science-fiction-themed spokenword poetry album titled The Last Transmission. Peebles told NPR, “I haven’t had so much fun with clothes on in years.” If I’m reading the planetary omens correctly Capricorn, you’re either experiencing that level of fun, or will soon be doing so.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In what ways do you most resemble your mother? Now is a good time to take inventory. Once you identify any mom-like qualities that tend to limit your freedom or lead you away from your dreams, devise a plan to transform them. You may never be able to defuse them entirely, but there’s a lot you can do to minimize the mischief they cause.

Be calm but calculating in setting your intention, Aquarius! P.S.: In the course of your inventory, you may also find there are ways you are like your mother that are of great value to you. Is there anything you could do to more fully develop their potential?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “We are what we imagine,” writes Piscean author N. Scott Momaday.

“Our very existence consists in our imagination of ourselves. Our best destiny is to imagine who and what we are. The greatest tragedy that can befall us is to go unimagined.”

Let’s make this passage your inspirational keynote for the coming weeks. It’s a perfect time to realize how much power you have to create yourself through the intelligent and purposeful use of your vivid imagination. (P.S. Here’s a further tip, this time from Cher: “All of us invent ourselves. Some of us just have more imagination than others.”)
