EDITOR’S NOTE WINNERS CIRCLE The Year of Our Lord 2016 is generally regarded as having been an annus horribilis, but it was a good one for journalism in Idaho—including in the pages of Boise Weekly. Journos and other professional gabbers from around the state gathered May 6 at the Riverside Hotel to toast their successes in 2016. Perhaps owing to the historically tense political climate— which over the past 12 months has included no small amount of mud smeared on the media in general—the mood was much more collegial than past Idaho Press Club events, and I’ll take this small space to publicly say just how proud I was of our tribe of scribblers. BW was honored to cart out a box of awards in the Weekly Print category, including: General Excellence, BW Staff, second place; General News Story, Editor Zach Hagadone, first place; General News Story, Staff Writer Harrison Berry, honorable mention; Watchdog/Investigative Report, News Editor George Prentice, first place; Light Feature Report, Associate Publisher Amy Atkins, first place; Political Reporting, Berry, first place; Political Reporting, Hagadone, honorable mention; Business Reporting, Berry, first place; Crimes/ Courts Reporting, Prentice, first place; Health/Medical Reporting, Hagadone, second place; Health/Medical Reporting, Prentice, third place; Special Section, BW Staff, first place. We’re a big, happy (frequently dysfunctional) family at BW, and we also take pride in the accomplishments of reporters who’ve passed through our newsroom as interns or freelancers. Former BW intern Patty Bowen, who recently graduated from Boise State University and served as editor of The Arbiter, took second place in the Serious Feature and third place in the General News Story student categories, while fellow former intern Ryan Thorne won second place in Watchdog/Investigative Report for his work at the Idaho Mountain Express. Finally, Cameron Rasmussen, a regular BW contributor who sits in the editor’s chair at my alma mater The Sandpoint Reader, took third place in the Serious Feature Report-Weekly Print category. Congratulations to all the other reporters—be they in print, radio or TV—for a hard year of good work. —Zach Hagadone

MAIL ON VACCINATIONS As a mom who loves her two girls, I’d do just about anything to protect them. Our precious daughters, ages 16 and 11, are the center of the universe for my husband and me. To watch them laugh and play, you would never know these amazing kids have cystic ﬁbrosis and bravely face daily breathing treatments and all the challenges that come with this harrowing disease. Years ago, our girls contracted another, drug-resistant illness that makes their lungs susceptible to bacteria and further compromises their immune systems. This means that virtually any exposure to diseases like the ﬂu, measles, mumps, pneumonia, meningitis type b or others can turn bacteria in their delicate lungs into the equivalent of rubber cement. That can cause an instantly life-threatening situation resulting in a lengthy hospitalization. It’s a scary reality. But what scares us even more is that other parents knowingly seek exemptions to allow their kids to opt out of taking vaccines for diseases that can quickly put my daughters’ lives at risk. Choosing not to vaccinate is a parent’s right. I understand the CDC ranks Idaho among states with the most exemptions, but it’s also important for these parents to realize their actions are putting more than their own children in danger. Not vaccinating your child can expose my daughters and others like them to dangerous diseases, even if they’ve been vaccinated. During a disease outbreak at school, unvaccinated students should be removed to protect the health of others. The schools also need to have student immunization information on hand

to act quickly. Parents who choose not to vaccinate also need to respect the decision of those who have. It seems some schools go to great lengths to provide even greater precautions for much less. An example would be clearing menus of food containing peanuts to accommodate those with peanut allergies. We are hopeful that vaccination, which is a proven method of disease prevention, can be discussed positively in the future so that all sides are represented fairly. Regarding our speciﬁc situation, we recently spoke with one of our daughter’s classes about her immune system challenges. These sweet children responded by wiping down their tables and chairs and washing their hands more often. The result? Levels of infections and sickness dropped dramatically. Keeping diseases at bay will always be a constant battle for my girls, but it is nice to know we live in a world where people do care. Please vaccinate to protect your kids and mine. —Teea Hillyard, Ammon

REPRESENT The House vote to end the Affordable Care Act ignored the 75 percent to 80 percent of the population that wanted to strengthen the ACA, not replace it with the less humane and unaffordable Republican AHA. To this example of Congress ignoring the will of the majority can be added Congress not passing gun control legislation in spite of 90 percent of Americans wishing otherwise, and Hillary Clinton being the president having received 48.2 percent of the popular vote compared to Trump’s 46.1 percent. These are only the most recent ex-

amples of thwarting the will of the majority and has resulted in an interest in replacing the electoral college vote by the popular vote via amending the Constitution. However, there is a simpler and potentially faster approach and that is for Congress to obey Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3 of the Constitution, which states that the membership of the House should accurately reflect the growth and distribution of the population based on each census. This reapportionment took place until 1912, at which time there were 435 members of the House. Ten years later, when reapportionment was to occur, the Republican Party refused to comply with the Constitution. Although the population grew, dispersed and concentrated during the next 10 years, the Republican Party passed the Reapportionment Act of 1929, which officially capped the number of members of the House at 435. The result is that the majority of Americans do not have the Constitutionally mandated number of members in Congress to fairly represent them. Both Wyoming and Montana have one representative in the House; however, Montana’s single vote represents about 1 million residents while Wyoming’s represents 589,713. If one does the math and extrapolates, the results are apparent. Wyoming’s single vote is two times more influential than Montana’s. “Bad!” Since 1912, the population of the U.S. has increased by 233 million. Accordingly, if the members of the House were reapportioned in compliance with Article 1 of the Constitution so that “every citizen of one state have the same rights with the citizen another.” In this case, the right to equal representation in the House would have led to legislation that reduced the lives lost to gun violence; families, regardless of income, would have equal access to affordable health care, and Trump would not be president of the United States. —Gordon Brown, Driggs BOISEweekly | MAY 10–16, 2017 | 5

CITYDESK

END OF THE LINE FOR GRAPEVINE IN THE NORTH END Just before the holiday season last year, it was pretty clear the days were numbered for the Grapevine Club, a sober support and recovery center located in a building at 1518 W. Fort St.: The roof leaked and the electrical, plumbing and fire suppression systems were all out of code. In February, time ran out when the city of Boise sent an emergency notice to the building inhabitants informing them the structure was unsafe and asbestos and lead-based paint posed a serious health hazard. The structure, a former fire station, has housed the Grapevine Club since 1952. Over the years, countless men and women have walked through the door of the Grapevine, where several daily meetings were held for addiction recovery based on the Twelve Step program. “The reason we’re here is fellowship and staying sober. Most importantly, it’s about helping somebody else,” Melissa, a regular Grapevine visitor, told Boise Weekly in 2014. “We’ve saved a lot of lives here.” Boise city staffers said they have been working with Grapevine to find new locations, including offering temporary space at the Boise Senior Center, but that building precludes 24/7 availability. Grapevine board members said they have since found alternative sites for meetings, but they’re scattered around Boise. The Boise City Council formally adopted a resolution May 2,stating the property at 1518 W. Fort St. “can no longer be used for public purposes.” City officials also agreed to auction off the property in “as-is” condition with a minimum bid of $50,000. Any net proceeds from the sale will go to Allumbaugh House, a regional detox and mental crisis center in West Boise. If the property fails to receive a qualifying bid of $50,000 or greater at auction, city officials said they will sell the property “without meeting further statutory requirements,” but would work with the Historic Preservation Commission to develop any restrictions or covenants to include in the possible sale of the property, including a historic preservation easement. —George Prentice 6 | MAY 10–16, 2017 | BOISEweekly

NEWS MEET THE ROOKIES AND VETERANS WHO WANT TO RULE GBAD

The two seats available in the Tuesday, May 16, Greater Boise Auditorium District election may be the most critical GEORGE PRENTICE Judy Peavey-Derr isn’t fond of the acronym for the entity to which she was elected in 2011. “Gee-Bad” she said, phonetically pronouncing the initials of the Greater Boise Auditorium District (GBAD). “Hmm. Gee-Bad. We don’t really like that name. We prefer to call it ‘The District.’” Regardless of what it is called, many Treasure Valley citizens aren’t familiar with GBAD, its function or its authority to tax. Now might might be a good time to learn more. On Tuesday, May 16, two seats on the five-person board of directors will be up for election in one of the most critical times in the history of GBAD: A proposed stadium and the future of tourism, one of our biggest economic engines, hang in the balance. For many years, turnout for GBAD elections was laughable. In 1991, around 200 voters showed up to the polls. In a 1995 runoff, there were 211 total votes. Voter turnout jumped to 9,000 in the 2011 GBAD election and dropped to 6,000 in 2013, still a fraction of the 133,070 registered voters in the district. The 2011 spike in interest was inspired, in large part, by a controversial decision of thenGBAD directors to cut $1.3 million in funding to the Boise Convention and Visitors Bureau. Things went from bad to worse as GBAD directors accused one another of violating open meetings and ethics laws. One board member even attempted to hold office while living in eastern Idaho.

The four candidates vying for two GBAD board seats are (left to right) Scott Mecham, Judy Peavey-Derr, Hy Kloc and Kristin Muchow.

“That was then,” said GBAD Director and Idaho House Rep. Hy Kloc (D-Boise) who, along with Peavey-Derr was voted onto GBAD in 2011. “I was looking back at the story Boise Weekly wrote at the time, and the illustration showed a five-headed monster with someone’s hands around my throat, but that was then.” There hasn’t been as much melodrama surrounding GBAD in the past few years, but it’s not as if it has stayed out of the headlines. An infamous 2014 lawsuit against GBAD alleged it had skirted the Idaho Constitution in an alleged financing “scheme” to help pay for a recent renovation of the Boise Centre. Idaho Fourth District Judge Melissa Moody agreed with the plaintiffs, describing the GBAD arrangement as “subterfuge.” The Idaho Supreme Court, however, overruled the lower court in favor of GBAD and greenlighted a massive Boise Centre expansion project. The bad old days of drama seem to be in the rear-view mirror. During a GBAD candidate debate hosted by the Boise Chamber of Commerce on May 2, the only minor bit of drama was whether one of the candidates would show up. “Does anybody even know what Scott Mecham looks like?” asked BCC Senior Vice President—and de-facto candidate wrangler—Ray Stark as the forum was about to get underway. It was a fair question. Mecham’s candidacy had set a new standard for under-the-radar campaigning. According to previous articles in the Idaho Business Review and Idaho Statesman, Mecham hadn’t responded to interview requests and, by his own admission, wasn’t familiar with most of the issues concerning GBAD. When Mecham

did show for the debate, he repeatedly pointed to downtown parking as his primary campaign platform. But while GBAD has some tangential impact on parking, the city of Boise, ACHD and Capital City Development Corporation have much more of a say on the issue. “Downtown parking is evaporating,” said Mecham. “And it’s getting worse. When people think about traveling to downtown Boise from West Ada County or Canyon County, they might as well be thinking about traveling to China.” Mecham, a CPA and financial adviser, doesn’t have a campaign website or Facebook page, while his opponent, Kristin Muchow, employs all of the online tools normally used in a candidacy for a much bigger office. A native of Gooding, Muchow likes to say she’s a “farm girl at heart” but she’s firmly entrenched in the Treasure Valley. Honored as 2011 Boise Young Professional of the Year, Mecham has worked for Boise-based Meeting Systems Inc. since 2001, the past eight years as its general manager. It’s in that role Muchow contracts with companies, big and small, to facilitate conventions, conferences and events in cities across the nation. “That puts me in the rare position of being ideally suited to be a GBAD director. I know the industry. I know the ins and outs. I know what questions to ask and what answers to expect,” she said. “I’ve actually been in the audience of previous GBAD meetings when one of the directors would say, ‘We ought to find out more about that.’ I would sit there 8 thinking, ‘Well, I do know about that.’ I immediately saw the need for somebody BOISE WEEKLY.COM

TVCA President Lisa Brady: “Our list of Bike Week events is growing with every day.”

BOISE BIKE WEEK COMES OF AGE “This will be our sweet 16th birthday,” said Lisa Brady, who has participated in most of those annual two-wheel celebrations and, for the past four years, has served as president of the Treasure Valley Cycling Alliance. “I look back on some of those years, and Bike Week was rather extraordinary. Flash forward to 2016, and you watch bicycle after bicycle after bicycle ride by. The culture has changed signiﬁcantly in Boise as more people choose a bike to get to work, to have fun, to do anything.” Boise Bike Week is actually eight days of bicycle related events. Some of the highlights are below: • CycloFemme—a social ride-along celebrating women on bikes (Sunday, May 14) • Bike the Vote—a bike-driven initiative to get out the vote (Tuesday, May 16) • Bike Love Movie Night—an evening of cycling-themed ﬁlms at The Flicks (Tuesday, May 16) • Ride of Silence—a ride in remembrance of injured or killed cyclists (Wednesday, May 17) • Beginner’s Mountain Bike Ride—a kick-off to cycling season (Thursday, May 18) • National Bike to Work Day (Friday, May 19) • Adaptive Bike Fair—an event featuring upright, recumbent and tandem bikes (Saturday, May 20) “Our list is growing with every day,” said Brady, pointing to the TVCA website, biketreasurevalley.org. “There has been such an evolution of biking in the past 10 years. For example, have you heard of bikepacking? It’s backpacking on your bike.” Boise Bike Week will include a “Camping in the Park” demonstration of bikepackers showing off their gear on Tuesday, May 16 at Catalpa Park. Since cyclists love to party as much as anyone, Bike Week will be celebrated at Boise Brewing (Saturday, May 13) and Highland Hollow Brewhouse (Monday, May 15). There will also will be a Bikes and Brews ride for ages 21 and over, beginning at The Yardarm and rolling to four different brewpubs. “Boise has become more bike friendly because, quite frankly, you’ll see more employees of the City of Boise, Ada County Highway District and the Idaho Department of Transportation riding their own bikes to work,” said Brady. “It’s who we are.” —George Prentice 8 | MAY 10–16, 2017 | BOISEweekly

NEWS GREATER BOISE AUDITORIUM DISTRICT 101 Here’s a pre-election primer on the entity responsible for more than you may know GEORGE PRENTICE The Greater Boise Auditorium District was created in 1959 by an overwhelming public vote to “build, operate, maintain, market and manage for public commercial and/or industrial purposes by any available means public auditoriums, exhibition halls, convention centers and facilities of a similar nature.” Below are a few facts and figures about GBAD since its inception: Not having a district map of its own, GBAD adopted the boundaries of the original Boise Junior College lines of distinction, with Floating Feather Road to the north, Lake Hazel Road to the south, Eagle Road to the west and a confluence of Warm Springs Avenue and Gowen Road to the east. The map doesn’t follow any jurisdictional, legislative, county or city boundaries. GBAD is a tax-collecting entity. It assesses a 5 percent “room tax” to any person staying at a hotel, motel or other lodging facility located within its boundaries. GBAD, which sets the rate, increased the tax from 4 percent to 5 percent in

elected directors, who each serve a term of six 2006. Those room tax receipts have never been years—there is no limit on the number of terms higher: In 2016, GBAD collected $6.3 million a board member may serve. in revenues compared to $4.7 The current directors are million in 2014, $3.4 million in GBAD ELECTION DAY Tuesday, May 16, 8 a.m.-8 p.m. Steve Berch and Jim Walker, 2010 and $2.6 million in 2003. whose terms will be up in According to its March 2017 Early voting: May 10-12 at Ada County Elections, 400 N.

with industry experience and how it could benefit the board.” Muchow has mobilized a full-on campaign effort: mailers, door6 to-door canvassing, yard signs, fundraisers, speaking engagements, and she even hired a campaign consultant and manager. Muchow also recognizes unseating one of two incumbents, Peavey-Derr and Kloc— who are also on the ballot—is going to be an uphill battle. But Muchow is ready to play hardball. She has already wrangled a high-profile endorsement from Boise Mayor Dave Bieter, City Councilman Scot Ludwig and Reps. Mat Erpelding (D-Boise) and Melissa Wintrow (D-Boise) Bieter’s endorsement triggered a city-wide conversation about a proposed multi-use stadium in or near downtown Boise, something the mayor has enthused about for years. In March, Bieter said developers struck a deal to purchase 11 acres near the intersection of Americana Boulevard and Shoreline Drive for a possible stadium. “We are very excited about this milestone,” said Bieter. However, hizzoner knows full well the city can’t foot the bill for a stadium that would reportedly cost $41 million. GBAD can, though. Its charter even spells out its ability to build “auditoriums, exhibition halls, convention centers and facilities of a similar nature.”

“Having a stadium downtown would be fantastic for the city,” Muchow told GBAD, knowing the possibility will drive more people to the polls May 16. “GBAD has a revenue stream that is highly unique to help make that happen. But first thing’s first. GBAD’s first priority is maintaining the operations of the Boise Centre. If you build a house, you want to be able to pay for the house.” Kloc is much more cautious when it comes to GBAD taking the lead on a stadium proposal. “I think we would have some role but not the role,” said Kloc, turning his attention back to the Boise Centre. “I think any good amenity for Boise would be good for our existing convention center.” Peavey-Derr distanced GBAD even further from the stadium. “We don’t really have a dog in this fight,” she said. Mecham wants GBAD involved—to a point. “We could broker the discussions, but I don’t want to see us wrangling over attorneys and legal fees,” she said. Given GBAD drama seems to be a distant memory, the time may be ripe for a new tussle—perhaps over a proposed stadium.

The art of war.

Can you dig it?

ARTIST TALK: GORAN FAZIL

5TH ANNUAL IDAHO ARCHAEOLOGY FAIR

The country where artist Goran Fazil was born is no more. After centuries of war and the 1991 fall of the Soviet Union, his home country of Yugoslavia split into four independent states, with three more nations being created by 2008. Fazil studied at the College of Idaho, Boise State University and the University of Idaho after coming to the United States as a refugee in 1997, and he is now an art instructor at the College of Western Idaho. Using a variety of media—including animation—his work is informed by an awareness of how history repeats and what that says about the human condition. In his artist talk on Friday, May 12 at Ming Studios, Fazil will trace the development of his work during the past 10 years—a decade of change in both his former and current home. 6 p.m. FREE. Ming Studios, 420 S. Sixth St., 208-949-4365, mingstudios.org.

Maybe more so than any other generation, children of the ’80s and ’90s are hip to archaeology—thanks mostly to the screen exploits of swashbuckling professor-turned-Nazi-fighter Indiana Jones. While Jones’ methods of locating ancient artifacts live firmly in the realm of fiction (bullwhips are much less useful than groundpenetrating radar), the thrill of discovery is definitely real. Get hands on with history Saturday, May 13 with the fifth annual Idaho Archaeology Fair, which includes a grinding station and atlatl range, instruction on mending or creating a pot, a flintknapping demonstration, tips on how to interpret archaeological sites, a rock art station, faux dig, survey, “artifakes” and a tour of the Old Assay Office building, which is itself a piece of history. 10 a.m.-3 p.m., FREE.

NOISE/CD PREVIEW THE DIRTY MOOGS DELIVER SAME GOOFY FUN WITH NEW EP The Dirty Moogs are nothing if not reliable. Aside from the rare punk set, the local group has been the Treasure Valley’s best (and only) purveyor of sci-ﬁ-themed, mock-Krautrock synth-pop ditties for the past few years. Songs like “Tight Tight Pants” and “Space Girlfriend” call to mind what Roger Ebert once wrote about The Naked Gun: “You laugh, and then you laugh at yourself for laughing.” Due out May 19, the Moogs’ new EP And Now for Something Completely the Same (Sunless Sea Records, 2017) delivers more or less what the title promises. To its credit, however, the release doesn’t coast on shtick. Instead, the polished production, irresistible hooks and endearing silly lyrics achieve some winning brand-maintenance. Each track on And Now has something to bring a smile to the listener’s face. The opener, “Carrie Ann,” combines playful Back to the Future references with a bouncy dance beat and an infectious “Whoa-oh-oh”chorus. “I’m Alright” has a soothing melody and a synthesizer line that sounds lifted from a Gary Numan outtake—a bubbling remix of this song is equally enjoyable. “Lasers on Stun” provides a change of pace with Ramones-esque riffs and amusingly dumb lyrics about an alien invasion, and the snarky pop-punk closer “Pretty Susie” features some cheesy new-wave keyboard and a few funny, hippie-dissing lines, like “Why’d you make me listen to Phish and the Grateful Dead?” As fun as the EP is overall, two tracks stand out. “Airwolf” achieves liftoff thanks to its lightly funky rhythm and Nile Rodgersinﬂected chicken-scratch guitar. “Luke Skywalker” boasts uncommonly bumping beats and a guest spot from Dedicated Servers’ Dave Boutdy, who spits some clever, Star Wars-inspired rhymes. The Dirty Moogs will play an And Now release set on Friday, May 12 at Neurolux, where they’re opening for Rubblebucket. Expect the usual goofy fun. —Ben Schultz 16 | MAY 10–16, 2017 | BOISEweekly

Whether it started with dumb luck, internet saavy or something else altogether, Western Daughter is driﬁting into the big time with a new album.

THE TIES THAT BIND

Western Daughter connects with Driftwood Songs BEN SCHULTZ Since forming in 2015, Western Daughter has gotten by on what guitarist Cameron Brizzee calls “a combination of dumb luck and a certain degree of, maybe, internet savviness.” The recording of the album Driftwood Songs (Take This to Heart Records, 2017)—which the indie-rock band had thought would be its last hurrah (Brizzee and bassist Jess Hope were considering a move to Portland)—is a perfect case in point. “At one point, we had said that we were going to play one final show,” said Brizzee. “That was in October [or] September [2016]. So there was definitely that feeling of Driftwood Songs being the final thing we did.” But a social media post changed that. “We have an Instagram, and we follow various record labels and stuff,” explained lead singer Taylor Hawkins. “And then one of them followed us back; they were called Take This to Heart Records. We posted, ‘We’re in the studio,’ and there was a shot of us in the studio. And they commented with, like, heart-eye emoji—‘We’re excited for it!’” As a joke, Hawkins responded, “Hey, glad you’re excited. Sign our band!” “I think he put LMAO on it too,” Hope added. Take This To Heart wasn’t kidding around, though. The Massachusetts-based indie label signed the band and released Driftwood Songs on March 24. Circuit Sweet declared that it “projects the divine balance of lyrical ingenuity and musical ferocity,” and Idobi Radio premiered an exclusive stream of the album on March 20. Now committed to continuing, Western Daughter is currently BOISE WEEKLY.COM

out on a brief tour that includes a set at Upstream Music Fest in Seattle on Friday May 12. A major theme of Driftwood Songs is the value of relationships. As Brizzee told Idobi Radio, “It’s about love and friendships and mental health, and how we struggle to maintain them all in a world that’s changing for better or worse all the time.” In a way, this theme has played out in the lives of Western Daughter’s members as well. Hawkins and Hope have known each other since they were 15 and 17, respectively. In addition to this band, guitarist Taylor Raymond and drummer Zach Sherwood have played in the local group Feel Better (originally Telescopes as Time Machines) since 2014. Brizzee went to high-school with Sherwood and Hawkins’s older brother Brett (who led local band Ancient Psychic and has produced recordings for Western Daughter and Tispur). A band that Brizzee had formed with Brett Hawkins—which was part of the DIY scene around Idaho Falls—helped inspire the younger Hawkins to make music. “It’s hard to explain,” Hawkins said, “but just seeing that community come together, I was like, ‘I want to be a part of that. That seems very nice and good, unlike all of the really terrible people I go to high-school with.’” From the very beginning, Hawkins and company recognized the chemistry they had as a group. “The four of us minus Zach played in a Modest Mouse cover band,” Brizzee said. “We did five songs for Halloween. After that went really well and we all liked playing together, then I think we were kind of like, ‘Hey, maybe we should actually

try to write some original music.’” After writing and rehearsing for only three months, Western Daughter played its first official show at Treefort 2015. A few months after that, the band finished recording its debut EP As the Sun Went Down (Broken Bark Records/ Camp Daze, 2015). The release’s mix of yearning introspection and surging power got an immediate response. New Noise Magazine, for example, ran an exclusive stream of As the Sun Went Down in December 2015. “I emailed a few places and was just like, ‘Hey, we’re in a band, we really like what you’re doing and we think you might enjoy our music. Please listen to it and let us know what you think,’” Raymond remembered. “Some places ended up digging it. It was really cool, really positive.” As impressive as the first EP was, Driftwood Songs is even better. The album’s ability to balance sophisticated arrangements with careening energy shows how quickly the band’s songwriting has grown. According to Hawkins, he and his bandmates had resolved to work together more after the success of As the Sun Went Down. “Instead of everyone doing their own thing, we all kind of met in the middle,” he said. “Let’s work on this as a whole and work our way out.” That approach should serve Western Daughter well both in music and in life. “It’s pretty safe to say that we’ve all seen each other at very highs and very lows,” Hawkins said. “You know you have something really special when, during those lows, you don’t just call it quits. Everyone helps everyone else get out of these funks.” BOISEweekly | MAY 10–16, 2017 | 17

There is no clear consensus on the linguistic origin of the phrase “feeling blue” or “having the blues.” Some sources trace the usage to the early- to mid-18th century while others claim it dates back as far as the late 1500s. Regardless, it has always meant, as the Oxford Dictionary puts it, “a bout of depression.” The blues as a musical style is generally considered to have developed slightly before the turn of the 20th century and, this year, the Boise Blues Society can count 25 anniversaries. Conceived as a nonproﬁt blues appreciation and community building organization, BBS is celebrating its 25th birthday with the release of Blues Gems From the Gem State, an 18-track album featuring all local bands and artists. The album is available at The Record Exchange ($15), but you can also pick one up at the BBS anniversary party Saturday, May 13 at the Mardis Gras Ballroom. You can eat, drink and dance the night away to music by eight featured blues acts. Proceeds in part beneﬁt the BBS Blues in the Schools program and youth scholarships for young musicians. If you’re feeling blue(s), the BBS 25th birthday celebration is the cure. —Zach Hagadone Doors 6:30 p.m., show 7 p.m.; $10-$15. Mardi Gras Ballroom, 615 S.

OSO NEGRO/WEIGHN BEATS EP RELEASE, MAY 17, SHREDDER Collaboration is a common practice among local creatives, and it can lift an artist or entrepreneur to a whole other level. Individually, Ontario, Ore.-based lyricist Oso Negro (Steve Stein) and local “beatsmith” Weighn Beats (Chris Christopherson) are serious players in the area rap/hip-hop scene, so when they put their heads together, the result is a fusion of drive, skill and ingenuity. The latest collabo from these longtime partners is Werebear (self-released, April 2017), a concept EP described by Oso as “superimposing my stories over a framework loosely based on Interview with a Vampire,” adding, “No gore though, really.” Werebear isn’t gory but it is dark—in a good way. Slow beats and sometimes foreboding melodies have a cinematic, hypnotic quality that, with headphones in, make it easy to close the door on the outside world and just fall into the sound. The album art is by “underground Bay legend” Z-Man (San Francisco), who is also featured on the track “Maniac.” And the last track on the EP is a remix by Toronto producer/MPCer Fresh Kils. Talk about collaborating. —Amy Atkins With Coolzey and Spoken Nerd, 8 p.m., $6. The Shredder, 430 S. 10th St., facebook.com/shredderboise.

In its opening weekend, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 topped the ﬁrst Guardians by 50 percent, the biggest jump in history for a Marvel sequel.

KEEPING THEIR GUARD UP

With Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, atop the box office, Marvel still rules the universe GEORGE PRENTICE Debates over politics or sports teams couldn’t have been more trivial when I was a kid. Among my peers, there were only three true divisions: 1. DC or Marvel comics, 2. The Flintstones or The Jetsons and 3. Coke or Pepsi I still recall arguments about DC vs. Marvel that make the Clinton/Trump debates sound like a garden party. Our childhood disagreements were about much more than just superpowers or secret identities, though. The evidence we used to prove superiority was that special something each universe employed: DC was filled with tales of angst, guilt, revenge and righteousness, while Marvel was more sly, waggish and often erratic. Several decades ago, DC began pushing its superheroes onto movie and TV screens, suffering in the process. In the1950s, an all-too serious George Reeves barely squeezed into his Superman tights, and in the 1960s, Adam West’s Batman was usually outflanked by B-movie actors whose villains acted like they were at a Dean Martin roast. Since then, actors Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, Christian Bale and Ben Affleck have all taken turns behind the bat mask. Meanwhile, Christopher Reeve, Brandon Routh and Henry Cavill each enjoyed varying levels of success portraying DC superhero Superman on the big screen from 1978 to the present. DC will showcase more of its high-profile heroes in the coming years, starting with Wonder Woman on June 2, followed by Aquaman (2018), Shazam (2019), Cyborg (2020) and Green Lantern (2020). But Marvel has been soaring past DC for the past few decades, beginning with the ever expanding X-Men franchise (2000-present); a profitable Spider-Man trilogy (2002-2007); and hit films featuring Ant Man, Captain America, Deadpool, Hulk, Iron Man, Thor and Wolverine.

Apart from Marvel heroes’ impressive feats of strength, there is one superpower they all possess: the humanity imbued by their creator, Stan Lee, for nearly six decades. His most inspired creation was Guardians of the Galaxy, first appearing in print in 1969.The 2014 Guardians film adaptation was a surprise smash, grossing more than $700 million, the third-highest grossing film of the year. More important, Guardians won praise for its unique balance of action and message of overcoming adversity. “I have lived most of my life surrounded by my enemies. I would be grateful to die surrounded by my friends,” Gamora (Zoe Saldana) says to her fellow Guardians. Facing the difficult task of living up to expectations, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 topped the first Guardians by 50 percent in its opening weekend, the biggest jump in history for a Marvel sequel. Box office success aside, the magic of the Guardians story is something best described by director James Gunn, who posted a message on his Facebook page bout why Marvel resonates with what he calls “heartbroken misfits.” “When I was young, I felt utterly alone. I never felt like I belonged, and had an incredibly difficult time connecting to other people,” wrote Gunn. “I [make movies] so that some kid in Thailand, England, Colombia, Brazil, Japan, Russia or anywhere, can hear the frequency of his or her own heart bouncing back off the Guardians.” There you have it: a golden heart beating deep inside Marvel that spoke to me and countless other kids so many decades ago and continues to speak to kids of all ages today. While social issues and politics have shaped my adulthood, at heart, I’m still the kid who loved Coke, The Jetsons and Marvel comics. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

BEERGUZZLER SAMPLING SUMMER BREWS While it’s not that close to the season yet, some of the bigger craft breweries have already released their summer offerings—and since temperatures have already topped 80 degrees in Boise, what better excuse to give them a try? All three weigh in around 5 percent alcohol by volume, which makes for a nice, sessionable post-lawn mowing reward. DESCHUTES HOP SLICE SUMMER ALE, $1.59$1.89 In the glass, it’s a crystal clear, brassy yellow topped by a two-finger head that leaves a sticky lacing. It’s from the northwest, so there must be hops and, yes, a big hit of the resiny version comes through on the nose. The hops are a bit more restrained in the mouth, blending with wheat bread, soft malt and citrus. It’s an eminently quaffable brew. SAMUEL ADAMS LEMON WHEAT SUMMER ALE, $1.59-$1.89 This one is a hazy lemon yellow topped with the thinnest of porous heads and has sweet citrus, cracked wheat, roasted malt and a touch of spice on the nose. It’s a smooth ale, which is lightly carbonated, with ripe lemon and sweet malt flavors dominating, backed by fresh grain and light hops on the finish. SIERRA NEVADA SUMMERFEST CRISP LAGER, $1.59-$1.89 This one was like stepping into a time machine. It’s 1968, the Cubs are on TV, and my cousinin-law has just cracked open a can of Hamm’s—a delicious taste I’ll never forget. The Summerfest has hops, lively citrus and fresh mown hay on the nose; toasted grain, lightly sweet malt and a kiss of hops on the palate.

She’s an author, entrepreneur, journalist and media mogul. Forbes named her one of the most influential women in media (2009) and one of the most powerful women in the world (2014). She is Arianna Huffington. Born Arianna Stasinopoulou in 1950 in Athens, Greece, she studied economics at Cambridge; penned her first book, The Female Woman in 1973; and was married to multimillionaire and one-term U.S. Congressman Michael Huffington (1986-1997). Arianna Huffington became a regular on TV as a pundit and occasional actor—she voiced animated character Arianna the Bear on The Cleveland Show. Huffington also authored 16 more books and, in 2005, co-founded The Huffington Post. In 2016, she stepped away from her role as HuffPo editor-in-chief to devote more time to her latest startup, Thrive Global, which focuses on health and wellness. Huffington was asked to be a keynote speaker at the annual Sun Valley Wellness Festival, which begins Friday, May 26. What do you consider to be the most underreported news story of 2017? Technology allows us to do amazing things, but it’s also accelerated the pace of our lives beyond our capacity to cope. This is no accident. We’re being controlled by something we should be controlling. It consumes our attention and cripples our ability to focus, think, be present and connect with ourselves. This is such a big story, one so pervasive in every part of our lives, that it’s hard to even step back far enough to see it. Let’s talk about your latest book, The Sleep Revolution. Did that stem from something personal? It was a day in April 2007—I collapsed from exhaustion, broke my cheekbone and woke up in a pool of my own blood. After that, I made a lot of changes. I wrote Thrive, about how to bring more well-being, wisdom, wonder and giving into our lives. Sleep is one element of that. As I went around the world to talk about Thrive, sleep was the topic everyone wanted to discuss. I remember one young woman telling me, “I don’t remember the last time I was not tired.”

22 | MAY 10–16, 2017 | BOISEweekly

Has our increasing dependence on technology ruined our sleep patterns? I wouldn’t say ruined, since that sounds permanent, but it’s a huge factor in the epidemic of stress, burnout and sleep deprivation. Do you have any thoughts on President Donald Trump’s sleep habits? We’re led to believe that he gets three or four hours of sleep per night. I can definitely say he’s not a role model for sleep. Regardless of what you think of him politically, we know that sleep has a huge effect on decision-making, problem-solving, impulse control and judgment. Apart from bed, where does the sleep revolution need to start? All the elements of our well-being: disconnecting, movement, nutrition and having a sense of purpose. Charge your devices somewhere other than your bedroom. Our phones are repositories of everything we need to put away to allow us to sleep: our to-do lists, our inboxes, our anxieties. The Sun Valley Wellness Festival also features an appearance by your sister, Agapi Stasinopoulou, author of Unbinding the Heart: A Dose of Greek Wisdom. Can you share one of your own bits of Greek wisdom? My mother firmly believed if you weren’t always eating, something was wrong with you. A more formal and healthy school of Greek wisdom comes from the school of philosophy founded in Athens in the third century B.C. To the Stoics, unhappiness, negative feelings or what we call stress was mostly the result of how we responded to things. We can’t control what happens in the external world, but the one thing we do have control over is our inner world and how we respond. Can I assume you have traveled to Idaho previously? I have, and what’s most striking is both the physical beauty and openness and generosity of the people of Idaho, which, given the effect that nature and wonder and our surroundings have on us, is no coincidence.

One protection provided is the protection against the entry of a default judgment in certain circumstances.

Viewers of animated sci-ﬁ series Rick and Morty (Adult Swim) are repeatedly hurtled across the spectrum of emotions and feelings as the members of the dysfunctional Smith/Sanchez family struggles to navigate their everyday suburban life—as well as interdimensional travel, aliens and other perils resulting from having a genius alcoholic scientist father/grandfather who builds unfathomably high-tech devices in the attached garage. See the full RickmoOne 22-minute episode of Rick and Morty bile schedule at can easily contain both the funniest and adultswim.com/ most painful, heart-wrenching scenes promos/rickmobile ever in an animated show. Local fans of Rick and Morty have something to be happy about, because starting Thursday, May 11, the Rickmobile—a truck shaped like a giant Rick, which is also a mobile store carrying special Rick and Morty merchandise—will be rolling to cities across the United States on its Don’t Even Trip Road Trip tour, and it’s scheduled to make a stop in Boise on Sunday, June 25, at Captain Comics (on Vista Avenue). It’s about to get schwifty in here.

HUNGOVER

DEAR MINERVA, You always seem to be out and about enjoying the Boise nightlife. I try to go out and get up the next day after partying, but I always feel like I have been hit by a truck. The hangovers last a long time. How do you do it at your age and continue to seem so fresh and unaffected? Are you a robot? Sincerely, Heavy Hangs the Head

DEAR HEAD, I don’t know how old you think I am (ahem) but, incidentally, I’m ageless and timeless. As for reviving myself from a night of partying, I have a routine I go through to get me bright-eyed and bushy-tailed in no time. First, I try not to mix. I stick to a cocktail I like and that doesn’t affect my mood—I prefer vodka/soda. Second, it’s important to pace myself. Drink plenty of water, and I can keep my wits about me and decrease my recovery time. Third, I eat something. Protein is especially helpful for me to recover quickly (insert your own joke here). I eat a meal before I go to bed and often don’t feel hungover the next day. If I do feel hungover, I use an old-fashioned remedy: Alka-Seltzer. It works wonders. Now, these things work for me, but I’m not a doctor and can only tell you what I do. You need to clear what you do with your doctor ﬁrst. If you are going to indulge, please be smart about it. Cheers, darling! 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.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): The process by which Zoo Jeans are manufactured is unusual. First, workers wrap and secure sheets of denim around car tires or big rubber balls, then take their raw creations to the Kamine Zoo in Hitachi City, Japan. There the denimswaddled objects are thrown into pits where tigers or lions live. As the beasts roughhouse with their toys, they rip holes in the cloth. Later, the material is retrieved and used to sew the jeans. Might this story prove inspirational for you in the coming weeks? I suspect it will. Here’s one possibility: You could arrange for something wild to play a role in shaping an influence you will have an intimate connection with. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Kiss the flame and it is yours,” teased the poet Thomas Lux. What do you think he was hinting at? It’s a metaphorical statement, of course. You wouldn’t want to literally thrust your lips and tongue into a fire. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you might benefit from exploring its meanings. Where to begin? May I suggest you visualize making out with the steady burn at the top of a candle? My sources tell me that doing so at this particular moment in your evolution will help kindle a new source of heat and light in your deep self —a fresh fount of glowing power that will burn sweet and strong like a miniature sun.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your symbol of power during the next three weeks is a key. Visualize it. What picture pops into your imagination? Is it a bejeweled golden key like what might be used to access an old treasure chest? Is it a rustic key for a garden gate or an oversized key for an ornate door? Is it a more modern thing that locks and unlocks car doors with radio waves? Whatever you choose, Gemini, I suggest you enshrine it in as an inspirational image in the back of your mind. Just assume that it will subtly inspire and empower you to find the metaphorical “door” that leads to the next chapter of your life story. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You are free to reveal yourself in your full glory. For once in your life, you have cosmic clearance to ask for everything you want without apology. This is the later you have been saving yourself for. Here comes the reward for the hard work you’ve been doing that no one has completely appreciated. If the universe has any prohibitions or inhibitions to impose, I don’t know what they are. If old karma has been preventing the influx of special dispensations and helpful X-factors, I suspect that old karma has at least temporarily been neutralized. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “I don’t want to be at the mercy of my emotions,” said Irish writer

Oscar Wilde. “I want to use them, to enjoy them and to dominate them.” In my opinion, that may be one of the most radical vows ever formulated. Is it even possible for us human beings to gracefully manage our unruly flow of feelings? What you do in the coming weeks could provide evidence that the answer to that question might be yes. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you are now in a position to learn more about this high art than ever before.

play could rise quite high. You may be animated and experimental in your approach to intimate communion, whether it’s with another person or with yourself. Need any suggestions? Check out the “butterflies-in-flight” position or the “spinning wheel of roses” maneuver. Try the “hum-and-chuckle kissing dare” or the “churning radiance while riding the rain cloud” move. Or just invent your own variations and give them funny names that add to the adventure.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Africa’s highest mountain is Mount Kilimanjaro. Though it’s near the equator, its peak is covered yearround with glaciers. In 2001, scientists predicted that global warming would melt them all by 2015. That hasn’t happened. The ice cap is still receding slowly. It could endure for a while, even though it will eventually disappear. Let’s borrow this scenario as a metaphor for your use, Virgo. First, consider the possibility that a certain thaw in your personal sphere isn’t unfolding as quickly as you anticipated. Second, ruminate on the likelihood that it will, however, ultimately come to pass. Third, adjust your plans accordingly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Right now the word “simplicity” is irrelevant. You’ve got silky profundities to play with, slippery complications to relish and lyrical labyrinths to wander around in. I hope you use these opportunities to tap into more of your subterranean powers. From what I can discern, your deep dark intelligence is ready to provide you with a host of fresh clues about who you really are and where you need to go. P.S.: You can become better friends with the shadows without compromising your relationship to the light.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Will sex be humdrum and predictable in the coming weeks? No! On the contrary. Your interest in wandering out to the frontiers of erotic

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You can bake your shoes in the oven at 350 degrees for 40 minutes, but that won’t turn them into loaves of bread. Know what I’m saying, Sagittarius? Just because a chicken has wings doesn’t mean it can fly over the rainbow. Catch my drift? You’ll never create a silk

purse out of dental floss and dead leaves. That’s why I offer you the following advice: In the next two weeks, do your best to avoid paper tigers, red herrings, fool’s gold, fake news, Trojan horses, straw men, pink elephants, convincing pretenders and invisible bridges. There’ll be a reward if you do: close encounters with shockingly beautiful honesty and authenticity that will be among your most useful blessings of 2017. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Of all the signs of the zodiac, you Capricorns are the least likely to believe in mythical utopias like Camelot or El Dorado or Shambhala. You tend to be uberskeptical about the existence of legendary vanished riches like the last Russian czar’s Faberge eggs or King John’s crown jewels. Yet, if wonderlands and treasures like those really do exist, I’m betting that some may soon be discovered by Capricorn explorers. Are there unaccounted for masterpieces by Georgia O’Keeffe buried in a basement somewhere? Is the score of a lost Mozart symphony tucked away in a seedy antique store? I predict that your tribe will specialize in unearthing forgotten valuables, homing in on secret miracles and locating missing mother lodes. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): According to my lyrical analysis of the astrological omens, here are

examples of the kinds of experiences you might encounter in the next 21 days: No. 1. interludes that reawaken memories of the first time you fell in love; No. 2. people who act like helpful, moon-drunk angels just in the nick of time; No. 3. healing music or provocative art that stirs a secret part of you—a sweet spot you had barely been aware of; No. 4. an urge arising in your curious heart to speak the words, “I invite lost and exiled beauty back into my life.” PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Ex-baseball player Eric DuBose was pulled over by Florida cops who spotted him driving his car erratically. They required him to submit to a few tests, hoping to determine whether he had consumed too much alcohol. “Can you recite the alphabet?” they asked. “I’m from the great state of Alabama,” DuBose replied, “and they have a different alphabet there.” I suggest, Pisces, that you try similar gambits whenever you find yourself in odd interludes or tricky transitions during the coming days—which I suspect will happen more than usual. Answer the questions you want to answer rather than the ones you’re asked, for example. Make jokes that change the subject. Use the powers of distraction and postponement. You’ll need extra slack, so seize it.
