EDITOR’S NOTE A FOND FAREWELL I’m not going to bury the lead: I’m leaving Boise Weekly to attend graduate school at Washington State University, effective Friday, June 9. By strange coincidence, it will be four years to the day since I packed up my life in northern Idaho and moved with my wife and then-14-month-old son to the Boise Bench.

Technically, I had been editor-in-chief of BW since January 2013, doing the job remotely from Sandpoint. It took six months to get everything together and, as BW owner and Publisher Sally Freeman put it in her note announcing my hire, “get [my] ass to Boise.” Now my ass is leaving Boise, and it’s bittersweet.

Much has changed in the four and a half years I’ve helmed the editorial side of the paper. A lot of names have come and gone from the masthead. The design, shape and size of the paper have morphed. We rolled out a new website, grew our online traffic and social media reach by orders of magnitude, and repositioned the paper toward hard news. We’ve won dozens of state and national awards for our reporting in that time, while navigating the fractured and increasingly challenging journalism landscape that affects our media colleagues nationwide. We’ve stumbled, fallen, published mea culpas and learned hard lessons—always working to improve as journalists and an organization.

The great privilege of my departure has been Sally’s willingness to let me pick my successor—my dear friend, auntie to my children, frequent confidante and the truest BW staffer who ever lived, Amy Atkins. Anyone who has picked up a copy of this paper in the past dozen or so years knows her name. There is, literally, no other person alive who could do a better job in the editor’s chair. She’s been my boss, I’ve been her boss and she’ll be my boss again, as I continue to contribute to Boise Weekly from afar, assist in copyediting and generally serve as a ghost in the machine.

I love this paper in a way people don’t often get a chance to love an organization. It has been a great adventure, but it’s time for a new one. If you don’t know how lucky you are to have a media outlet such as this, you’re about to find out. My hunch is that Amy will help take this paper to new heights.

MAIL ‘LISTEN, LISTEN. LOVE, LOVE’ In response to several articles that have run in this publication about various situations in the Idaho Department of Correction, I would like to inform the general public of an ongoing solution to the problem of the 2.2 million people incarcerated in the states.

At ISCI (Idaho State Correctional Institution) just south of Boise, the volunteers of Kairos are bringing hope to a complication situation.

Kairos (The Greek word for “God’s Special Time”) is an inter-denominational, lay-led Christian ministry that trains volunteers to go inside modern prisons, using only the theme of, “Listen, listen. Love, love,” to change hardened inmates before they are released back into society—preparing Kairos graduates to be functional, mentally and spiritually changed citizens.

No particular denomination is allowed to manipulate the program or change the “Listen, listen. Love, love” theme. Along with the lay leadership, we have volunteer clergy of many Christian denominations who can give confidential counseling to participants.

The traditional Kairos is an annual 3½-day retreat held at ISCI with the help of past Kairos graduates, and with the assistance of the prison staff.

We bring in muffins, cookies, coffee and sometimes pizza for a really special time and fellowship. All kinds of uplifting music is shared with the inmates. Many creative activities have been designed to deepen the Christian experience, instill cooperation with each other and prepare the “changed” person to re-enter society.

Since 1976, Kairos has made the difference in the

lives of thousands of men and women who have been given a free gift that can get them back on track and instill in them a love for themselves and others.

I was last year’s Kairos Inside Retreat director, and I implore any person interested in Kairos to contact me at tedroy97@netzero.net or 208469-0947. Our biggest challenge is a declining number of volunteers. We have many distinguished, experienced men and women who are retiring or moving away. Any suggestion or donation is a blessing, and will help our beloved relatives, friends and loved ones who are imprisoned.

HOLD CRAPO ACCOUNTABLE FOR GAS VOTE The U.S. Senate failed to get the votes to rescind the BLM Methane Waste Rule, holding in place this common sense regulation that limits gas emissions. This rule creates energy efficiency jobs, ensures limited waste of natural gas and provides clean air benefits.

After visiting his office earlier this spring and speaking to his representatives about this issue, I am disappointed that Sen. Mike Crapo did not vote to keep this rule. Idaho had nothing to gain by his vote, and in fact it would’ve negatively impacted residents of the state.

I never heard back directly from Sen. Crapo or his office about why he supported this, but imagine it’s related to the $100,000 dollars he has collected from oil and gas interests.

Money seems to speak louder than the hundreds

of calls he received from constituents in favor of keeping this rule.

It’s time to hold Sen. Crapo accountable for his indefensible position. When will we get an independent thinker who puts Idaho—and then country— ahead of party politics?

I’m thankful that Sen. John McCain voted against the party line because he found it unconscionable to rescind a rule that would take away permanently our ability to go back and monitor methane emissions in the future.

—Tami Osterday, Boise

CRAPO VOTES IN FAVOR OF CAMPAIGN CASH OVER IDAHOANS Recently, senators from both sides of the aisle came together and voted in favor of keeping a common sense BLM rule regulating methane. The rule is simple: It conserves natural gas while also cutting harmful emissions. It was encouraging to see that common sense ruled the day in Washington.

Less encouraging is that Idaho voted against common sense and public good. Sen. Mike Crapo voted to scrap the rule, preferring instead that there be no limit on wasted natural gas and allowing the natural gas industry to selfregulate. This rule only applies to federal public land, meaning the natural gas belongs to all of us. Why would Crapo vote against the interests of Idahoans?

Tellingly, the natural gas industry is an important campaign contributor to Sen. Crapo—an industry, mind you, that has barely any presence whatsoever in Idaho.

This isn’t hard to figure out.

Crapo’s vote clearly favored the industry writing him checks, not the people he was elected to represent.

Many senators on both sides of the aisle stood up for their citizens, but not ours.

The natural gas industry today, what else tomorrow? What will it take for Crapo to put Idahoans over campaign money?

NEWS BATTLE AT THE BALLOT BOX

Demonstrators at the Women’s March in January donned “pink pussy hats.”

MARCH FOR TRUTH They’ve marched in snow, sleet and sub-zero temperatures. To date, thousands of Gem State citizens have filled the steps of the Idaho Statehouse in several marches, expressing their ire over President Donald Trump’s positions on taxes, public lands, scientific research and abortion rights.

In the presumable warmth of an early summer Saturday, June 3, activists will return to the Idaho Capitol, this time in a “March for Truth.”

What began as a series of tweets on April 30 expressing outrage over possible ties between the Trump White House and Russia quickly evolved into plans for the nationwide “truth” march, at which organizers said they will “demand an end to the culture of deceit.”

The Washington Examiner reported the June 3 event is expected to kick off a “summer of protest.”

Protesters said they don’t want any trouble with law enforcement. According to a message on the Facebook page promoting the Boise march: “By choosing to attend a #MarchForTruth event, you are acknowledging the risk involved, and you are committing to participate nonviolently and in accordance with the law, and to de-escalate confrontations with opposing persons or others.”

NBC News reported June 3 marches are already planned for Washington, D.C. and 135 other U.S. cities, including Boise. Organizers are hoping to repeat the turnout of the Women’s March in January, which saw millions of citizens take to the streets in scores of cities—again, including Boise.

“Women’s March organizers in states across the nation are working alongside local chapters of the March for Truth to make sure that June 3 is a call for all Americans to come together as one and march to protect the very foundation of our democracy,” said Bob Bland, one of the lead organizers of the Women’s March, in an interview with NBC News.

The Boise March for Truth begins at 10 a.m at the Idaho Capitol and continues until 2 p.m.

How partisan politics rocked a northern Idaho school board race Z ACH HAGADONE Bonner County is a little big place. At almost 2,000 square miles, it’s a bit larger than Delaware but its population of 41,500 is about 4 percent of The First State. Located in the far northern panhandle of Idaho, encompassing lakes, rivers, mountains and forests, Bonner County has long been as much a tourism haven as it is a political hotbed.

Controversy grows as dense as the trees in Bonner County and the regional tendency toward outsized ideological contests played out in the run-up to the May 16 election in the hitherto humdrum race for a handful of seats on the Lake Pend Oreille School District board of trustees.

“There were three out of five seats on the board of trustees available and they were all contested,” said Gary Suppiger, a 63-year-old longtime county resident who has volunteered for a number of school-, Catholic- and scoutrelated causes. “There was a slate of candidates, including myself, that supported the school district and a slate of candidates, including my opponent, that did not support the school district.”

Suppiger, who holds a Master’s degree in forestry from Duke University and owns a forest products company in Bonner County, ran the tightest LPOSD race, besting opponent Richard Miller by 76 votes for a seat representing residents in the southern portion of the district.

“In Bonner County there is an ultra-right group—they’ve been named the Redoubters—and what they are is anti-tax activists.

[It’s] a very conservative cause, but they were formidable opponents,” Suppiger said. “They’re articulate, they’re intelligent and they’re organized, and they have resources and they have support. Specifically, their greatest support was in my zone.”

According to Bonner County election officials, 21.5 percent of registered voters in the Lake Pend Oreille School District turned out for the May election—compared to 18.7 percent in 2015 and 7.5 percent in 2013. Not only was every vacant seat contested this year,

but every race was contentious.

Former Bonner County Commissioner Cary Kelly, 75, who prevailed over his opponent by a margin of about 85 percent, said the heat in the election stemmed from forces far larger than school budgets. “[Voters in the district] saw the handwriting on the wall and said, ‘Hey look, we better get moving, we better turn out, we better make sure everybody knows what’s at stake here,’” he said.

“They had a really big—for a school election, which normally goes by unnoticed—turnout for this election. I think that’s why it became somewhat controversial in the sense that for once they really had two sides.”

Those sides were deeply divided based on two previous elections: one in August 2016, when a $50 million facilities levy was defeated handily, in large part because of opposition amplified by the Redoubt News website and assorted online communities; and the other in March, when a $17 million supplemental school levy was overwhelmingly approved.

(Redoubt News did not respond to a request for comment on the race.)

How candidates voted on the March levy was the central factor in the school board election. Kelly, Suppiger and Lonnie Williams—the latter a 32-year-old graduate of Sandpoint High School—represented the “yes” vote. Miller, a 23-year Bonner County property owner and woodworker whose daughter graduated from SHS; Anita Perry, a 70-year-old former business manager in California, active Bonner County Republican Party volunteer and frequent Redoubt News contributor; and Victoria Zeischegg, a 62-year-old fellow California transplant

who manages a health and wellness website and volunteers for several community and Republican Party groups, made up the slate of “no” candidates.

The school board election, Kelly and Suppiger agreed, was an effort by the anti-tax crowd to gain control of the purse strings.

“It was more philosophical than practical,” Kelly said. “People on the school board normally support the school. They have kids in school; I mean, they want to support the school.

Well, these three didn’t. It wasn’t the fact that they wanted to improve the school system or had kids in the school system—my opponent had no children [in the schools]. ... It was more, ‘We’re against more spending, we think there needs to be more transparency, we’re not sure what’s going on, we didn’t support the levy… just kind of naysayers.”

Miller and Zeischegg pushed back at being characterized as Redoubters (Perry did not respond to a request for comment, but told the Spokesman-Review in early May that the Redoubter label “is a mystery to me” and she’s “not quite sure what they mean by ‘Redoubt movement.’”)

“My observation has been that more citizens have been questioning how taxpayer money is being spent by the Lake Pend Oreille School District, and many taxpayers feel that the district has not clearly answered those questions,” Zeischegg wrote in an email. “This school board election was the first in my memory that the policies and budget of the district were being challenged, and that is why 8 the election was so unusually heated.

NEWS played a part in that it was used as a label to discredit some of the candidates.”

For his part, Miller bristled at the suggestion he was affiliated with the Redoubt movement, going on to characterize his stance in the school board election as one focused on financial accountability, transparency and strengthening vocational education for students in the district. He did not provide an on-the-record statement by press time.

Williams said whether or not Miller, Perry and Zeischegg identify as being associated with the Redoubt movement, their campaigns benefited from supporters of the group’s agenda, which is to establish a low-tax, small-government haven for “God-fearing, liberty-loving patriots” in eastern Washington, Idaho and Montana.

“If you’re allowing your henchmen to run dirty politics, you’re just as guilty as the person doing it, in my opinion,” Williams said, pointing to instances of what he called “outright lies” and online “smear campaigns” against himself and fellow candidates Kelly and Suppiger.

“It’s no mystery, I guess to me or anybody in this area, that when you throw your hat into the ring up here, we’ve got this amalgamation of super, super far right-wing and pretty far left-wing all in the same area, so it gets pretty contentious,” said Williams, who defeated Zeischegg by about 70 percent of the vote. “I think a big reason that it was contentious as it was, was because of our state politics right now and the country at large.”

Politics in Bonner County have also been particularly rancorous in recent years, as a growing tide of new residents has brought with it a conservative, isolationist philosophy like the one touted by the Redoubt movement.

Williams agreed the normally subdued school board race drew its fire from “a combination between some of the current fervor with the Redoubt movement in this area.”

“And by that I mean they’re on the rise in popularity,” he said. “Their message is being heard all over the place ... and what I think that we have on the national scene, which trickles into rural communities, is: ‘OK, now that we have this going on in our national scene, it’s OK for a lot of the folks that want to be complete isolationists to be very, very vocal about that.’”

For Kelly, who said he had numerous run-ins with Redoubters and like-minded anti-tax activists during his time as a county commissioner, the Sturm und Drang of the increasing rightwing tinge of area politics acts to drown out the real needs of the community—including in the school district.

“They just want to complain and you get very little in the way of really constructive criticism or answers to anything they complain about,” he said. “Generally they’re against government, bureaucracy, taxes—they’re against 6

Solarize the Valley last year installed solar panels on 49 homes, generating 314 kW of power.

SNAKE RIVER ALLIANCE REBOOTS SOLARIZE THE VALLEY The Snake River Alliance is re-energizing Solarize the Valley, a program to help Treasure Valley businesses and homeowners convert to solar energy.

Launched in May 2016, the SRA exceeded its goal of signing up 250 homeowners for solar power site assessments, ultimately convincing 400 people to opt for assessments. A total of 49 homes were fitted with rooftop solar panels, generating 314 kilowatts of electricity and nearly $1 million in local investment.

This year, the SRA hopes to install enough solar panels to generate more than 350 kW of electricity—translating to nearly 60 home installations.

The popularity of Solarize the Valley, which pairs homeowners with contractors specializing in solar panel installation, stemmed in part from the decreasing cost of the technology. According to SRA Director Wendy Wilson, the quickest return on investment went to homes with the highest power bills.

“The best paybacks are for people who use the most electricity,” she said.

Wilson called the homeowners who installed solar panels during the first year of the program “49ers,” in part because of the number of installations and also because of the association with the California Gold Rush. This first cohort, she said, has begun to evangelize solar power to their friends, families and co-workers, leading to a growing number of people signing up for consultations and installations.

“They’re really psyched,” Wilson said. “It’s good to see the pioneers get so excited about it.”

Among the participants in Solarize the Valley last year were people who ordered larger solar arrays to power their electric vehicles— enough, Wilson said, to qualify as a trend.

As in 2016, there will be workshops at which people can learn more about Solarize the Valley and sign up for a consultation. The next workshop is on Thursday, June 1, 6:30-8 p.m. at the Boise Co-op Village at Meridian location. Another is scheduled for Tuesday, June 13, 6:30-8 p.m. at Riverstone International School.

A replica Statue of Liberty stands on a pier in Sandpoint, the seat of Bonner County, where competing visions of liberty and taxation have driven deep partisan divides.

all that. It’s just a generalization and it’s hard to really pin down.

“Even during the debates we had in the school election, there was very little concrete,” Kelly added. “What exactly are you complaining about?’”

Kelly, Suppiger and Williams said the Lake Pend Oreille School District, despite critics’ assertions to the contrary, is actually a high performing system. (Disclosure: This reporter’s mother is a longtime LPOSD employee and current elementary school principal.)

With 12 schools (including three high schools and a homeschool academy) spread across a huge, mostly rural region, there are certainly problems—particularly in the area of facilities maintenance, Kelly and Williams said—but LPOSD still earns high marks. In particular, Sandpoint High School was recently ranked No. 2 in Idaho by U.S. News after Timberline High School in Boise.

“I believe the district is in a good place,” said Suppiger. “I have faith in the current administration, I support the current programs and schools in our district, and I just hope to build on that success. I just want to make it better.”

In the wake of the school board election, Suppiger added he hopes the influence of the Redoubt movement on local elections wanes, but he recognized the philosophy isn’t going anywhere.

“I hope at least for a period of time their political momentum is reversed,” he said. “I know they’re not going to stop, they’re going to keep coming.”

Williams said he sees the possibility for some common ground to be found once the electioneering dust settles.

“There’s a lot of people that are probably associated with that Redoubt movement that are totally in favor of public schools, because that’s what they send their kids to,” he said.

“And there’s parts of the Redoubt movement that I have zero problem with. If you want to move here and have 20 acres and build a house and have a garden and all those things, I would like that too. I like peace and quiet, I like self sustainability. I’ve got no problem with that. If you do that, then don’t try to change the fabric of our community. ... Don’t come in here and try to uproot all of our community programs to suit your goals. That’s not how it works.”

At the end of the day, Williams added, it’s the job of the nonpartisan school board to do right by area kids, and success will be the best way to win over the percentage of Bonner County voters who think the district is wasting or misusing their tax dollars.

“The best way to combat, if that’s the right term, that ideology of, ‘No we’re not going to support anything you guys [at the school district] do,’ is by results,” he said. “If we can continue to improve as a district and continue to succeed on a school-by-school, student-bystudent basis, and continue to have high-achieving students who go on and do great things, and schools that continue to get awards on the state and national level, then the argument becomes, ‘Look at what we’ve done by pursuing our goals and what it has done for the district.’”

A horse is a horse, of course, of course.

THURSDAY 8th, 6:30PM MICHELLE TULLIS EXHIBIT If you didn’t know better, you might think Michelle Tullis’ subjects posed for their pictures. Against a backdrop of rolling snow-covered hills and scrub the color of a palomino’s coat, Tullis photographed free-range horses in the Boise Foothills during the winter months. In her website bio Tullis describes a lifelong love of horses, but in her photos a deep sense of respect is as clear as her affection for the majestic beasts. In her bio, she writes: “I lose all sense of time and want to take ‘just one more photo.’

It’s hard to stop and walk away even when it is getting frigid and the sun is quickly setting in the dead of winter. Becoming mesmerized by free range horses in the Boise Foothills is the result.”

Tullis’ photos are breathtaking, but you don’t have to just take our word for it. See for yourself when Amsterdam Lounge hosts an exhibit, a reception and a meet-and-greet with the artist from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on First Thursday. Tullis’ artwork will be for sale during the reception, and all proceeds will benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

If you love animals, the outdoors, the Foothills, photography or any combination thereof, see this exhibit. That’s good advice, straight from the horse’s mouth.

A baby’s first year.

RACHEL TEANNALACH, PAINTINGS FOR MAIREAD In its first year of life, a baby grows from a newborn to a toddler. That may sound like semantics—after all, they’re just different words for “baby”—but for parents, the changes that take place during those 12 months are monumental, as babies start to grip objects, track things with their eyes, roll over, smile and laugh. In Paintings for Mairead, Boise artist Rachel Teannalach explores parenthood from a new mother’s point of view with a keen eye toward the development of her subject. Teannalach brings her skill as a landscape painter to the crowded scenes of raising a child, from rumpled blankets to cluttered car seats and walks through the Boise Foothills. Check out the series—and the limited edition books and prints—at Evermore Prints.

Tap into the tradition at The Mode Lounge, where Ballet Idaho dancers, staff and board of directors will gather to chat about the upcoming season. Learn about Daniel Ojeda’s specially commissioned “The Elton John Ballet;” outgoing Artistic Director Peter Anastos’ choreography of “Raymonda’s Wedding,” with music by Alexander Glazunov; and upcoming performances of George Balanchine ballet, “Agon” and “Swan Lake.” Maybe after a few cocktails, dancers and staffers will come out of their shells and open up about what it’s like to stage “The Nutcracker.”

36TH ANNUAL GREEK FOOD FESTIVAL

Using infrared technology, the Spitzer Space Telescope (built

by NASA and launched in 2003), has been photographing the Milky Way in the Galactic Legacy Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire.

GLIMPSE has allowed both scientists and citizens to see everything from galaxies at the edge of the observable universe to “yellow balls,” star-forming regions named for their color and shape.

Learn about yellow balls, bubbles and more during a lecture and stargazing event presented by the Boise State University Department of Physics and Dr. Katie Devine, a Professor of Physics at College of Idaho who studies astronomical formations identified in GLIMPSE. 7:30-10:30 p.m., FREE. Boise State Multipurpose Building, Rm. 101, 2010 S. Brady St. (corner of Brady Street and University Avenue), physics.boisestate.edu, astrojack.com.

The Mediterranean diet is believed to be heart healthy and may reduce the risk of disease. Follow doctor’s orders and check out the 36th annual Greek Food Festival Friday and Saturday, where the folks at Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church will serve up gyros, salads, spanakopita, dolmathes, Cretan-style rice and more. If there’s room left over, finish with something from the selection of desserts like baklava, kataifi, koulourakia and galatobouriko. Don’t worry: You can work it off, because every day of the festival there will be lessons and live performances of classic Greek dances like the Cretan Pentozali, the Kalamatianos, the “extremely cardiovascular” Maleviziotiko and more.

YOGA WEEK Yoga Week 2016 changed Meg Kahnle’s life. The local visual artist and yoga student combined her passions in a series of mixed-media paintings using photos of people doing yoga, and she says the blend of collage and figurativism in her #connectwithyoga series is “about celebrating moments.” During Yoga Week 2017, nearly 40 free yoga classes will be available in studios from Boise to Nampa, and the closing ceremony in the Celebration Circle at JUMP includes a beginner-friendly yoga class open to everyone, followed by tea and snacks. If you take a free class during Yoga Week, you might see Kahnle snapping pics and (with your permission of course), and the work you do on your body, mind and spirit may become part of a work of art.

Genre terms like “Americana” and “old-timey” don’t quite describe the cacophonous, festive Hi-Flyer sound.

While the music evokes a bygone era, the subjects of the band’s songs edge toward the shadows, with themes of murder, sin, redemption and booze. It’s all about tapping toes to tunes from days long past.

The Hi-Flyers will bring their banjo, guitar, fiddle and upright bass and set up outside Flying M Coffeegarage in Nampa on Saturday, June 2 for a hootenanny. The Coffeegarage has nixed indoor concerts, so the band is taking the party to the parking lot.

When dancing up a storm works up a mighty hunger, turn to B-Town Bistro food truck, Spoonthumb Ice Cream and PreFunk for solace.

JOHN COUGAR MELLENCAMP, JUNE 7, IBG Music came early to John Mellencamp. By the age of 14, the Indiana native was not only gigging in the bar scene, but serving as frontman for a soul group. His career didn’t blow up until 1979, though, with “I Need a Lover.” By then, the 28-year-old was known as Johnny Cougar—according to his manager, the name “Mellencamp” on a record cover would have guaranteed its place in the bargain bin.

After a string of hits, Mellencamp convinced industry bigwigs his birth name was money and, as we all know, he was right.

The man with one of the most recognizable names in the music biz is coming to the Idaho Botanical Garden in Boise for an Outlaw Field Summer Concert appearance Wednesday, June 7 as part of his Sad Clown & Hillbillies Tour. Boise is only the second stop on the tour, which kicks off June 5 in Colorado, so color us lucky.

Catch this show, and you’ll be a happy clown (but you might still be a hillbilly).

NOISE WHEN AT FIRST YOU DON’T SUCCEED

RESERVATIONS RECOMMENDED 368-0405

BJ Barham makes prodigal return in Rockingham CHRIS PARKER “To be a singer/songwriter or the lead singer of a band, you have to be this delicate balance of egotistical asshole/maniac and immature emotional child,” says American Aquarium frontman and solo artist BJ Barham. “You have to find this 50/50 line to where you can be a functioning adult, be cocky enough [so] people believe what you’re saying on stage, but be emotionally-centered enough to write something that matters.”

BJ Barham was a bright kid from Reidsville, NC (pop. 14, 073) in Rockingham County,. He graduated top of his class and was the first person in his family to go to college, earning a scholarship to North Carolina State University. The Billy Joe Shaver song/brag, “Been to Georgia on a Fast Train” comes to mind.

“It blew my mind to come to Raleigh,” Barham says looking back. “I considered it a big city, like, ‘Holy shit. I had to take a four lane highway to get here. This is insane.’ ...For the longest time it was either you were a guy who played at coffee shops or you were Tim McGraw. There was no in-between. Then coming to Raleigh, I realized there was this really weird gray zone where you can make a living playing music.”

Barham got to Raleigh in 2002, and three years later formed American Aquarium in the mold of southern alt-country rockers the Backsliders, Old 97’s and the Drive-By Truckers.

Barham dropped out of school to pursue music and within a year, AmAq was on the road, touring the country. The cast of bandmates revolved so often that, by the time AmAq released its third album, Dances for the Lonely (Last Chance Records, 2009), 26 people had walked in and out of its orbit.

Though Barham dismisses the band’s first two releases, they’re not without merit. However Dances is where Barham finally began to find his voice, in part by trading blame for self-awareness.

“That’s a hard thing to do, to turn that spotlight in. It’s real easy to throw stones and judge other people,” Barham says. “It’s easy to blame.

My first three records were blame records. My

BJ Barham finds balance in Rockingham.

first two records were about how these girls did me wrong ... and woe is me. But then [I got] older and realized I pushed every one of those people away from me. I was the damaged one. I was the one that had problems.

“As an artist it’s great inspiration to find you’re the sole root for all your problems, because it gives you something to write about,” Barham says. “But ... it’s a lot easier to say, ‘Fuck that guy,’ than, ‘Oh, wait. I’m the shithead.’”

After releasing Small Town Hymns in 2010, American Aquarium almost called it quits, but accolades and subsequent success forestalled that fate. Using Kickstarter, the band raised more than $20,000 for Wolves (American Aquarium, 2015), which built on that success. After a decade of scraping, American Aquarium had made it.

“We’ve never been on a label [or] had the big late-night TV appearance break. We have a dedicated fan base that supports everything we put out,” Barham says. “If you tour your ass off for a decade plus and build up a good 40-50,000 base, you never have to sign to a label. I might be one of the few artists I know that’s been doing this for 12 years, I make a living, and I own 100 percent of everything I ever put out. Don’t get me wrong: Those first seven to eight years sucked. I would’ve sold it to anybody willing to pay for it… [Now] we make a living off a career and not a record.”

Success has afforded the band the luxury of some time off, which is nice after a decade of more than 200 dates a year. Barham isn’t one to sit still for long, though, so he went into the studio solo during a break in August and recorded Rockingham (self-released, 2016), which was written in the wake of the Paris terror attacks last year. A newly married Barham penned it for the children he hopes to have.

“In case something tragic or spontaneous ever happens to me,” he says.

Barham laughs when reminded of the old Clash line, “He who fucks nuns later joins the church,” because he high-tailed his way out of his hometown first chance he got. Now he lives 15 miles East of Raleigh with his wife in a small tobacco farming town half the size of Reidsville.

“I couldn’t be happier. Priorities change, life changes and it’s funny because the same shit I fought tooth and nail to get out of that town are the same things I’m looking for in a town,” he says, laughing. “But I didn’t write a positive record. I didn’t come out saying it’s leprechauns and unicorns, sunshine and rainbows. I talk about the fucked up aspects of living in a small town, the dead ends and coming to the realization that the American Dream is just that, an absolute crock of bullshit that people bought into, and once you realize it you’re already stuck.”

One of Rockingham’s highlights is “Madeline,” a song Barham wrote about the dark things he has seen for the daughter he’s yet to have. How does he know he’s going to have a daughter?

“The easiest answer is ‘Karma is real,’” he chuckles ruefully. “I spent a good chunk of my 20s being a complete dipshit to women and I’m going to get a girl and she’s going to test my patience at a very early age, so I wanted to write this song… It could’ve been a 16-minute song where I explain the meaning of life, but I tried to simplify it into some of the highlights and some of the values I hold higher than others.”

“Now,” Barham says, cracking wise, “I’ll just have to explain why daddy feels so much.”

With Timmy the Teeth and local Tylor Ketchum.

SCREEN THE LONG GOODBYE

Buena Vista Social Club says Adios in an often flavorless sequel to the delicious 1999 hit documentary GEORGE PRENTICE The level of your fondness for Buena Vista Social Club, both the 1997 landmark album and 1999 documentary film of the same name, will likely be the determining factor in whether you see Buena Vista Social Club: Adios. The original was like a perfect bottle of rum, but the sequel… well, it’s as if someone left the cap off for the past 20 years.

The kick is still there, but it’s a little stale.

“The flowers of life come sooner or later,” said Cuban guitarist Compay Segundo who, following the 1997 album and 1999 film, was showered with fame and Grammy awards in the final years of his life. “Pay attention, because the flowers only come once,” he added.

His words are often repeated by his BVSC survivors in the new film. In the 1999 documentary, the line was clever and candied. Hearing it repeated in the sequel, it comes across as peppery and prescient.

By the late 1990s, the Buena Vista Social Club was a bit of a musical mystery. The members-only club, home to Havana’s best musicians, saw its greatest popularity in the 1940s. In the years that followed, which were defined by political tension and a subsequent travel embargo, few Americans walked through the doors of the club. But in 1996, with the blessing of the U.S. State Department, American guitarist Ry Cooder traveled to Havana to help produce a new recording of the club musicians. The album was even recorded in

RECREATION FALLING FROM THE SKY

The time I jumped from a plane with the U.S. Army Golden Knights parachute demo team HARRISON BERRY At an altitude of 13,500 feet, Sgt. 1st Class Joe Jones and the civilian strapped to him pitched forward through the hatch on the side of the 1958 twin-engine Otter aircraft and began to tumble.

The civilian, wondering if he was arching his back or gripping his shoulder straps tightly enough, was yours truly, and I watched as the horizon gyrated wildly before being swallowed by the golden, sporadically mountainous Inland Empire region of Southern California.

For just shy of a minute, Jones and I were in freefall while being directed by a GoPro camerawearing photographer to smile and give the thumbs-up sign. In spite of the roar of air whipping past my ears and the grinning, gesticulating photographer, I felt a deep, almost spiritual silence. My crocodile brain, sensing I’d ignored its pleas, stomped off, temporarily leaving me to contemplate the pull of gravity.

I was falling toward a dropzone in Perris, Calif., being used as a staging area for a May 22 recruiting event for the U.S. Army, in which educators, journalists and other influencers would take a leap like mine with members of the Golden Knights parachute demonstration team, one of three such teams sanctioned by the Department of Defense.

The idea was for the participants to get a taste of life in the Army. Among my cohort was Las Vegas-based Univision reporter (and former competitive kickboxer) Jasmina Gonzalez and Rich Nye, who was recently appointed superintendent of the Ogden, Utah School District.

Both of them thoroughly enjoyed skydiving, and Gonzalez’s eyes glowed when an Army interviewer asked her if she’d do it again.

Minutes after landing safely, I was the one asking the questions. Sgt. 1st Class Adrian Hill, an infantryman from Alabama, has been jumping for the past 21 years of his Army career and has been an instructor for the Golden Knights for the past seven years. In all, Hill has participated in more than 6,000 jumps since first leaping from a plane flying over Georgia in 1996.

Sgt. 1st Class Joe Jones and Boise Weekly Staff Writer Harrison Berry skydiving over Perris, Calif.

Hill has seen combat all over the world and conducted elaborate parachute demonstrations for audiences, but it was the personal details of his extraordinary life and adventures that grabbed my attention. His favorite skydiving experience was with his daughter three months from her 18th birthday. He said his hands didn’t shake the first time he jumped from a plane.

Conflicts spanning the globe and an increased need for military preparedness have kicked recruiting efforts—including special demonstration teams like the Golden Knights— into overdrive. The Army’s goal for active duty service members was revised from 460,000 to 476,000 this year, which would mean enlisting 62,000 people by Sunday, Oct. 1. President Donald Trump has said he would like to raise the bar higher still, adding as many as an additional 60,000 troops.

In response, the Army has spent $300 million on ads, sponsorships and other recruiting tools to add 6,000 soldiers to its ranks. It’s a staggering sum of money being spent to speak to millennials in particular.

In a collection of essays titled Warriors and Citizens: American Views of Our Military, contributors Matthew Colford and Alec J. Sugarman described the tendency among millennials to “underappreciate the positive contributions of some service members, misattribute blame for failures to others, and, overall, fundamentally misconceive the nature of the military and its relationship with civilian policymakers and civil society” due to “a lack of awareness and exposure.”

Millennials like myself tend to have a high opinion of the military but precious little un-

derstanding of it. Despite a passing knowledge of my grandfather’s service in the Pacific theater of World War II, my only previous exposure to the armed forces came in the form of a phone call from a recruiter, who asked me if I planned to go to college and what I wanted to study. I told him and he said,“Well, if you know anybody who’s interested in engineering or science, have them give me a call.”

I was not in his target demographic.

More than a decade later, however, I was the first person who came to mind when my editor received a call from a Salt Lake Citybased Army recruiter looking for journalists to tandem skydive with the Golden Knights.

Weeks—and thousands of feet in altitude— later, Jones’ parachute deployed and I felt a tug on my harness. I considered the many documents I’d signed releasing Skydive Perris and the U.S. Army of any liability. One asked if I’d be an organ donor. Had a heart, liver or retina condition or ever survived a fall from that height.

Jones tapped my side and the harness that bound him to me loosened from “intimate” to “passing acquaintance,” disrupting my thoughts. I looked over my shoulder at him and he proffered the nylon strap we would use to steer the parachute to the landing site. With every pull on the strap, we would sweep a wide radius and edge closer to the ground.

With the green grass of the landing zone rapidly approaching, I pulled my knees to my chest and braced for an impact that never came.

The landing was smooth, and when a Golden Knight rushed to me and unhooked me from Jones, I couldn’t wipe the grin off my face.

BEERGUZZLER MALT, HOPS AND A SIDE OF FRUIT Other than Lambics, fruity beers are not my first choice. However, given their popularity, who am I to judge? Billed as low alcohol, flavor-filled picks for spring and summer, the brews I tried fit the bill to a T. I’m not totally won over, but I wouldn’t turn down a glass of any of the following: GOLDEN ROAD TART MANGO CART WHEAT ALE, $1.59-$1.89 A hazy, hefeweizen, lemon-yellow in the glass, the Tart Mango Cart is topped by an island of thin froth. True to its name, sweet mango aromas dominate, with just a whiff of hops.

There is some cracked wheat, but the flavors are also mostly mango, balanced with a touch of citrus. This beer weighs in at a modest, sessionable 3.2 percent alcohol.

GRAND TETON GRAPEFRUIT GOSE, $1.99$2.29 The thinnest of heads covers this cloudy, strawcolored brew. It definitely delivers the characteristic gose salinity on the nose, along with a bit of fresh cut hay. Light carbonation and just four percent alcohol make for an easy drinking quaffer. The flavors are a refreshing mix of citrus and yeasty baked bread—lightly sour with a hint of salt.

SIERRA NEVADA ORANGE PALE ALE, $1.99-$2.29 This pale ale pours an orange tinged, light amber with a thick porous head that slowly collapses, leaving an impressive lacing. The aromas are like what you get when you cut into or peel a fresh orange, backed by light bread notes and soft hops.

There’s a nice hop profile on the fruit-filled palate, where it’s more orange zest than actual fruit.

What’s not to like?

ADAM COTTERELL

Radio veteran rediscovers a love of storytelling in podcast GEORGE PRENTICE

Adam Cotterell is a great storyteller. During time as a journalist for Boise State Public Radio he won a multitude of awards for his reporting; but, after nine years, he decided to retire. Having two young daughters had a lot to do with it: He would stay home while his wife worked full-time as a nurse.

It’s not as if Cotterell has stopped telling fascinating stories, though. For the past several months, he has been crafting an eight-episode podcast series, Some of the Parts, available on SoundCloud, iTunes and the BPSR website. The series covers a variety of underreported and intriguing stories and features some of Cotterell’s best work.

Do you still consider yourself a reporter?

I would say I’m a journalist. I’m still telling stories, but I’m not chasing the news of the day.

Can I assume that fatherhood informs how you currently approach journalism?

Honestly, I care a lot less about what’s happening in the world in general and a lot more about what’s happening in my house or my daughter’s school. I get up in the morning, and I’m focused on my kids. I don’t want to look at my phone or turn on the radio or TV. It’s a lot less important to me what the legislature happens to be doing.

Looking through that lens, did you have a sense of the stories you wanted to tell?

When I was a beat reporter, I wanted a place for voices that didn’t get heard on radio and TV— people whose stories were ignored.

How did you decide on eight episodes?

We went back and forth. Six? Twelve? In the end, I did what I could in the time available.

And your subjects?

I compiled a list of 20 possible stories. I sent the list out to everybody in the newsroom and let them vote. The winners were some I would have picked and some I wouldn’t have picked myself.

Among the stories are a visit with LGBT people who experience homelessness, revisiting Boise’s tent city that was Cooper Court and deconstructing Idaho’s wide array of accents. But I’m particularly interested in a couple of other episodes. Tell me about the origin of “Poor Shepherds.”

I explored how people from outside of Idaho think about Basques versus what Idahoans think about Basques. In much of the world, the thing people know most about Basques is terrorism and the separatist group ETA [Euskadi Ta Askatasuna].

You never hear that talked about in Idaho. It’s taboo. It’s, “Don’t bring that up.”

Tell me about another episode you called, “Do You Find My Tractor Sexy?”

Some time ago, I was working on a story about water rights and I met a 56-year-old farmer in Nampa. When he started out, he thought he would get married and have kids, but it just never happened. Well, he’s still looking. And he’s using dating websites like farmersonly.com.

Is it your sense that we reporters aren’t doing a good enough job seeking out those voices?

We tend to think, “What does our audience want to hear?” I love the public radio audience dearly, but they tend to think they want more politics, economics and government. The stories I’m more interested in are about people from the opposite end of the spectrum—homelessness, poverty and people who are marginalized.

I’m not the first to tell you this, but your podcasts are superb. Is this something you love?

When you love something, you’re not afraid of hard work, but my full-time job is all about my daughters. One is a 6-year-old and the other is 2.

So, how did you turn that concept into the reality of Some of the Parts?

Just before I left BSPR, I told them, “Instead of me quitting entirely, how about I work parttime and create a podcast?”

But I’m guessing you have your radio voice and your daddy voice.

That’s right. One of them is telling them to eat their breakfast, and the other is talking about some farmer who is looking for a date.

Do your daughters recognize daddy’s voice when it comes out of the radio?

Sure.

MINERVA’S BREAKDOWN

EASY-MACRO LENS BAND

$GYLFH IRU WKRVH RQ WKH YHUJH ROMPIN’

DEAR MINERVA, What do you think about these rompers for men? As open minded as I like to consider myself, I just can’t wrap my head around this trend or what self-respecting man would resort to wearing them. Please tell me you are as turned off by these as I am. I’m gay and even to me, it’s just not OK. Sincerely, —Nope

DEAR NOPE, Sugar, I think rompers for men, or RompHims, as they are being called, are adorable. I don’t like that people are calling them “RompHims” because it smells a little of male fragility that they couldn’t wear a romper without feeling threatened. However, it is not my place, nor, quite frankly, yours, to tell anyone what they should or shouldn’t wear. The sweltering hell of Idaho summer is coming, and rompers are adorable, regardless of one’s gender identity or expression. They are harmless fun and harken back to the carefree playfulness of the toddler years. A time of ease with one’s body and an innocent simplicity. I will celebrate every romper and every body in a romper! Bring them on! Clothes do not make the man or woman and fabric has no inherent gender.

If that romper is on a man who identifies as a straight male, that is a straight man’s romper. Same if the romper is on a gay man, a lesbian woman, a trans person, etc. Get over yourself and your preconceived notions. You’ll have way more fun. Rompers across America! Unite in comfort!

For many, one of the biggest draws in choosing a smartphone is camera quality— price, carrier and even brand be damned. While a camera with a big number of megapixels will better capture special moments and selfies, zooming in on your subjects without a peripheral device often results in a big blur. The Easy-Macro Lens Band is an inexpensive add-on that will lets you take sharp, high-res photos. The Easy-Macro design is so simple—a wide rubber band with a magnifying lens imbedded in it—you’ll wonder why someone didn’t think of it sooner, and it’s so small, it fits in a pocket or wallet.

One drawback is, unlike a telephoto or zoom lens, you have to be practically on top of your subject for the Easy-Macro lens to work, but the results are so pleasantly surprising. You might find you don’t mind getting cozy with a posy or looking a fly in the eyes.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Life is in the mood to communicate with you rather lyrically. Here are just a few of the signs and portents you may encounter, along with theories about their meaning. If you overhear a lullaby, it’s time to seek the influence of a tender, nurturing source. If you see a type of fruit or flower you don’t recognize, it means you have a buried potential you don’t know much about, and you’re ready to explore it further. If you spy a playing card in an unexpected place, trust serendipity to bring you what you need. If a loud noise arrives near a moment of decision, it traditionally signifies caution, but these days, it suggests you should be bold.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your body is holy and magic and precious. I advise you not to sell it, rent it or compromise it in any way—especially now, when you have an opening to upgrade your relationship with it. Yes, Taurus, it’s time to attend to your sweet flesh and blood with consummate care.

Find out exactly what your amazing organism needs to feel its best.

Lavish it with pleasure and healing.

Treat it as you would a beloved child or animal. I also hope you will have intimate conversations with the cells that compose your body.

Let them know you love and appreciate them. Tell them you’re ready to collaborate on a higher level.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “The most intense moments the universe has ever known are the next 15 seconds,” said philosopher Terence McKenna. He was naming a central principle of reality: Every new “now” is a harvest of everything that has ever happened; every fresh moment is a blast of novelty that arises in response to the sum total of all history’s adventures.

This is always true, of course, but I suspect the phenomenon will be especially pronounced for you in the near future. More than usual, you may find that every day is packed with interesting feelings and poignant fun and epic realizations.

This could be pleasurable but also overwhelming. Luckily, you have the personal power necessary to make good use of the intensity.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Nobody likes to be scrutinized or critiqued or judged, but we Crabs (yes, I’m one of you) are probably touchier about that treatment than any other sign of the zodiac.

(Hypersensitivity is a trait that many astrologers ascribe to Cancerians.)

However, many of us do allow one particular faultfinder to deride us: the nagging voice in the back of our heads. Sometimes we even give free rein to its barbs, but I would like to propose a transformation of this situation. Maybe we could scold ourselves less, and be a bit more open to constructive feedback coming from other people. Starting now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The lion’s potency, boldness, and majesty are qualities you have a mandate to cultivate in the next three weeks. To get in the righteous mood, I suggest you gaze upon images and videos of lions. Come up with your own version of a lion’s roar—I mean actually make that sound—and unleash it regularly.

You might also want to try the yoga posture known as the lion pose.

If you’re unfamiliar with it, go to tinyurl.com/lionpose for tips. What else might help you invoke and express the unfettered leonine spirit?

Pyramid of Cheops, and the current astrological omens, I have determined that now is a favorable time for you to sing liberation songs with cheeky authority . . . to kiss the sky and dance with the wind on a beach or hilltop ... to gather your most imaginative allies and brainstorm about what you really want to do in the next five years.

Do you dare to slip away from business-as-usual so you can play in the enchanted land of what-if?

If you’re smart, you will escape the grind and grime of the daily rhythm so you can expand your mind to the next largest size.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “What does it matter how many lovers you have if none of them gives you the universe?” French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan posed that question. I invite you to put it at the top of your list of hot topics to meditate on. In doing so, I trust you won’t use it as an excuse to disparage your companions for their inadequacies. Rather, I hope it will mobilize you to supercharge your intimate alliances; to deepen your awareness of the synergistic beauty you could create together; to heighten your ability to be given the universe by those whose fates are interwoven with yours.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “On some hill of despair,” wrote poet Galway Kinnell, “the bonfire you kindle can light the great sky— though it’s true, of course, to make it burn you have to throw yourself in.” You may not exactly feel despair, Scorpio, but I suspect you are in the throes of an acute questioning that makes you feel close to the edge of forever. Please consider the possibility that it’s a favorable time to find out just how much light and heat are hidden inside you.

Your ache for primal fun and your longing to accelerate your soul’s education are converging with your quest to summon a deeper, wilder brilliance.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A typical Capricorn cultivates fervent passions, even to the point of obsession. Almost no one knows their magnitude, though, because the members of your tribe often pursue their fulfillment with methodical, business-like focus.

But I wonder if maybe it’s a good time to reveal more of the raw force of this driving energy than you usually do. It might humanize you in the eyes of potential helpers who see you as too strong to need help. It could motivate your allies to provide the extra support and understanding you’ll need in the coming weeks.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’re in a phase when you have the power to find answers to

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In accordance with the astrological omens, I invite you to carry out a

questions that have stumped you for a while. Why? Because you’re more open-minded and curious than usual. You’re also ready to be brazenly honest with yourself.

Congrats! In light of the fact that you’ll be lucky at solving riddles, I’ve got three good ones for you to wrestle with. No. 1: Which of your anxieties may actually be cover-ups for a lazy refusal to change a bad habit? No. 2: What resource will you use more efficiently when you stop trying to make it do things it’s not designed to do? No. 3: What blessing will you receive as soon as you give a clear signal that you are ready for it?

flashy flirtation with the color red.

I dare you to wear red clothes and red jewelry. Buy yourself red roses.

Sip red wine and savor strawberries under red lights. Sing Elvis Costello’s “The Angels Want to Wear My Red Shoes” and Prince’s “Little Red Corvette.” Tell everyone why 2017 is a red-letter year for you. For extra credit, murmur the following motto whenever a splash of red teases and pleases your imagination: “My red-hot passion is my version of high fashion.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “If you want a puppy, start by asking for a pony,” read the bumper sticker on the Lexus SUV I saw.

That confused me. Would the owner of a Lexus SUV be the type of person who didn’t expect to get what she really wanted? In any case, Pisces, I’m conveying a version of this bumper-sticker wisdom to you. If you want your domestic scene to thrive even more than it already does, ask for a feng shui master to redesign your environment so it has a perfect flow of energy. If you want a community that activates the best in you, ask for a utopian village full of emotionally intelligent activists. If you want to be animated by a focused goal that motivates you to wake up excited each morning, ask for a glorious assignment that will help save the world.
