EDITOR’S NOTE ANNUAL (WO)MANUAL In a Season 5 episode of 30 Rock, The Girlie Show with Tracy Jordan is accused of misogyny— the title of the episode is “TGS Hates Women.” As a countermeasure, showrunner Liz Lemon (the incomparable Tina Fey) hires a new female writer. Abby wears revealing clothes, flirts with the other writers, and talks in a “sexy baby voice,” in an effort to conceal her real identity from a stalker. Liz, unaware of Abby’s plight, feels she is an affront to feminism.

“You can’t be that desperate for male attention,” Liz says.

“You know what, Liz? I don’t have to explain myself to you. My life is none of your business,” Abby replies.

“Except it is,” Liz says, “because you represent my show, and you represent my gender in this business and you embarrass me.”

Whoa. I have seen every episode of 30 Rock an embarrassing number of times (seriously, I could call it At Least 30 Times Rock), and that bit of dialogue always makes me cringe. While Abby’s crude jokes and provocative behavior are unsettling, Liz’s dismissal bothers me more, although I think that’s the point of the exchange: Liz is forced to face her own sexist feelings. Having been confronted with some remarkably unsubtle sexism since becoming the editor of Boise Weekly, I have had to come to terms with some feelings of my own, partially because I was naive enough to think I might be immune—but no one is.

In this week’s edition, we have a letter to the editor on Page 5 from a man who takes umbrage with how he feels his view of women was portrayed in Bill Cope’s July 5 column titled “The Curse of Being Hillary.”

On a brighter note, inserted in this week’s edition, you’ll find our beautiful, glossy city guide, Annual Manual, which we packed with lists of places to go and things to do in Boise and beyond.

To be clear, I love Liz Lemon. Love. Her. I can relate to her awkwardness, her diligence and her struggle to accept the opinions of others even when she knows she’s right. I can relate to the times when she throws in the towel because no matter how hard she tries, there are people around her who will always assume she’s delicate or easy because she’s a woman. And I can relate to the times when she doesn’t give up, when she forges ahead in spite of lowered expectations and comes out the other side victorious. I can relate.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

MAIL RE: BEING HILLARY Recently, Bill Cope wrote a column published in the Boise Weekly entitled “The Curse of Being Hillary,” in which he recounted a conversation with a neighbor who’d been away from the area for a while.

In his column, he made reference to how this conversation veered into the “forbidden zone” of his feelings about the recent presidential election. Did Mr. Cope share this “forbidden zone” with the other person in said conversation? No. I can confidently state that because I was the other person there that day.

Here’s what happened: I’d been away for nearly a year caregiving for my father. I saw Mr. Cope gardening, so I took the opportunity to catch up with my neighbor and friend. This was an entirely innocent conversation on my part, mostly just trying to catch up and touch base with Bill.

Apparently, sharing that for the first time in my adult life I had been unable to vote for a presidential candidate blew down the wall of his forbidden zone. That I couldn’t vote “for her” was a step beyond Mr. Cope’s ability to, well, cope. I did not vote for either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton to be president of the United States. The reason why boiled down to one thing for both: trust. I didn’t.

The result of his ruminat-

ing on our conversation was “The Curse of Being Hillary.”

While Mr. Cope has a right to express his opinions… and is, indeed, paid to do so (I’ll get back to that in a minute), I feel in this instance he stepped over the line. First, as a friend; second as a neighbor and third, in trust.

As to the first: If someone is your friend, you don’t use a public forum like a published newspaper to impugn their character. In “submitting” his opinions about my feelings toward and about women, Mr. Cope wove fantasy. He has no way of knowing how I feel about women, as he is not a mind reader. No human is. His characterizations of me are in error. Obviously, Mr. Cope does not consider me a friend. Fair enough.

Second: As a neighbor, taking a private conversation and publicly using it to excoriate that person’s failure to support your candidate of choice and your political worldview is basically a knife in the back. If Mr. Cope had not wanted to discuss any of this, he could have said, “Please just shut up!” He did not. Subsequently, he used the gist of the conversation as fodder for a column he is paid to write.

Hmmm…

Third: Trust. Here’s the real reason I’m writing this rebuttal. You may be of the more liberal persuasion here in Idaho. You may applaud each and

every one of Mr. Cope’s columns.

A note of caution: With this column, Mr. Cope has shown he’s not above recounting private conversations and impugning the character of the other party involved to make his point. You may be his friend, companion, a fellow Democrat or even a family member. The next time you have a personal conversation with Mr. Cope, just remember: If you push the wrong button on the invisible keypad in his mind, you may be the subject of his next column.

For all his liberal views, Mr. Cope shares a couple of things with some of his conservative brethren. Folks like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage and Glenn Beck, to name a few. He has no problem impugning another’s character to make political points and, like them, he has no problem making money from doing so.

Mr. Cope’s “The Curse of Being Hillary” was a total surprise (and shock) to me. I was sent a copy clipped from the Boise Weekly along with a brief note from a person who I’d had no communication with concerning my conversation with Mr. Cope.

Obviously, they knew he was referring to me. I’m sure there are others who know, as well.

There’s an old expression: A word to the wise is sufficient. When it comes to confiding in Bill Cope, whether friend or foe, beware. Consider yourselves warned.

NEWS DRY CREEK, DRY PURSE

Mufflers are sometimes anything but.

NEW BOISE ORDINANCE DIALS DOWN MUFFLER NOISE Boise police got an earful in May 2016, when business owners and residents complained about excessive noise from modified mufflers on vehicles driving through downtown. At the time, BPD said it would step up enforcement of existing city code prohibiting noise “plainly audible upon a public right-of-way or street at a distance of 100 feet or more.”

Now, in anticipation of an influx of downtown residents filling multiple apartment/ condo developments still under construction, the Boise City Council is preparing to double down on its crackdown.

The city clerk’s office has proposed an ordinance amending Boise City Code Title 10, which would add a new chapter entitled “excessive exhaust and muffler noise.” Violators would be slapped with a $100 fine, not including court costs or fees.

“Disturbing, excessive or offensive motor vehicle noise, smoke, or exhaust interferes with a person’s right to enjoy life and property,” reads the ordinance, which goes on to state its purpose as promoting “the public health, comfort, and convenience of the City’s inhabitants and its visitors.”

The new rule would outlaw any sound made by a motor vehicle exceeding 92 decibels “from a distance of not less than 20 feet to the side of the motor vehicle”.The ordinance also requires every motor vehicle operated within city limits to be equipped with a muffler “in good working order and in constant operation to prevent excessive noise and smoke” and makes it unlawful to operate a motor vehicle with a disconnected or modified muffler system.

The only exemptions to the proposed ordinance are for vehicles driven solely on private property, commercial vehicles exempt from emissions testing or antique motor vehicles used in exhibitions or club activities.

City Clerk Craig Croner said the ordinance should “serve as a more functional enforcement tool for the Boise Police Department, and to address issues that hindered successful prosecution under State Code.”

Why Ada County commissioners nixed funding for a local conservation agency HARRISON BERRY

Josie Erskine stood before the Ada County Board of Commissioners in February to voice her disapproval of new development plans in the Dry Creek Valley northwest of Boise, where she operates Peaceful Belly Farm.

“This is the [location of the] very first farm in Ada County,” she said. “As a culture, do we get rid of any ‘firsts’? I’m opposed to this development.”

Before she stepped away from the podium, county commissioners wanted to know who she was speaking for: herself as a citizen and farmer, or the Ada Soil and Water Conservation District, which she serves as district manager.

“I’m representing myself,” she said.

Regardless, personal opposition to Dry Creek Valley development by Erskine and others associated with the ASWCD has had political—and financial—ramifications. As a result of negative testimony on the issue, Ada County commissioners declined to fund ASWCD as they had in years past, pending a meeting between representatives of the district and commissioners, slated for Tuesday, Aug. 1.

“They disagreed with us and they beat us up pretty bad, and quite frankly, I don’t see where I’m going to support spending county taxpayer dollars on an organization that doesn’t support the county,” said Commissioner Jim Tibbs during a June 19 budget hearing.

The loss of county funds could have dire consequences. The district has received money every year from Ada County since its inception. The amount has been substantial in the past six years, totaling $45,000 annually from Ada County and $50,000 from the state of Idaho through a matching funds mechanism. Axing the county’s portion would be virtually doubled by the loss of state dollars—a critical blow to the district, which in Fiscal Year 2016 had total funding of $136,530.

ASWCD partners with landowners and public entities on open spaces and agriculture conservation projects ranging from easements to no-till farming education. It’s a shoestring but active operation with two employees and a board of supervisors. Erskine said it would be up to the board to determine if funding cuts would affect her staff, but confirmed a result would be a reduction in the ability of the district to do its job.

“We don’t want to cut any of our programs we have going, but there’s just a lot that we all know can be done,” she said. “Nobody knows the district, nobody knows what the district does, but we’re out there.”

Agriculture is being edged off the map in Ada County and the funding conflict comes at a pivotal moment. In 1939, farming operations consumed 17 percent of Ada County; by 2014, that number had dropped to less than 8 percent.

A U.S. Department of Agriculture census in 2002 showed 1,420 farms in Ada County. By 2012, it had lost 200 farms. Those decreases have corresponded to the growth of Boise and its suburbs.

The U.S. Census Bureau reported the county had 206,000 residents in 1990 and the Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho projects it will have 675,000 residents by 2040, with 60,000 people living in unincorporated areas.

The Dry Creek Valley is a point of particular tension. The Hidden Springs community has cropped up in the east end of the valley, but its western end still has some of the deepest topsoil in southwestern Idaho—6 feet in some areas— and several independent agricultural operations, including Fiddler’s Green Farm and Peaceful Belly Farm. Those operations are about to have a new neighbor: Dry Creek Ranch, a project of Boise Hunter Homes, which will bring 1,800 homes and 85,000 feet of commercial space. The plan was approved Feb. 21 by the Ada County commission, and is scaled back from a version approved in 2010 that included 3,500 homes.

The Dry Creek Ranch project has drawn a lot of critics, including the Boise Farmers Market, the Boise Co-op, neighborhood associations, open spaces advocates and historians, and farmers who work in the Dry Creek Valley. Among them is Peaceful Belly farmhand and founder of advocacy group Save Dry Creek, Stephanie Rael,

who said even though it has been reduced in scope, development is a foot in the door for more construction.

“Once you start building houses out there, it’s easy to build more,” she said.

Save Dry Creek, founded in March, has sought to halt the development of Dry Creek Ranch. The group has initiated a petition to put a referendum on the 2018 ballot that, if passed, would void an ordinance passed by the Ada County commission enabling the development of Dry Creek Ranch. When Ada County Clerk Christopher Rich blocked its petition, Save Dry Creek filed suit.

Talks between commissioners and the ASWCD over funding are ongoing. In a letter to the commission dated May 26, Erskine apologized for any confusion and clarified the agency has no official stance on Dry Creek Ranch. “[ASWCD Board Chairman Glen] Edwards has asked me to reach out and assure all of you the views and opinions expressed in my testimony are my own, and do not reflect the official policy or position of the ADA SWCD,” she wrote.

In a statement released by the commission, “the amount normally budgeted” for the district has been set aside “in the event that we can come to a mutual agreement,” citing a “philosophical difference” as the source of friction between commissioners and the district. The two groups are set for a meeting in August to determine if and how the money will be allocated.

When Tibbs was asked if he would like to clarify his comments on funding the district, he wrote, “I made that statement based on information I was given at the time. The [Board of County Commissioners] is meeting with ASWCD next month and I look forward to getting clarification and a better understanding [based] on the information I was given.”

SNOWPOCALYPSE TO FLOODPOCALYPSE What we have and haven’t learned about living alongside the Boise River LE X NEL SON During winter 2016-2017, snow accumulated at double the normal rate. In March alone, precipitation was 325 percent of normal, and the flooding that followed left 35 of the 44 Idaho counties under state or local disaster declarations.

Although an alphabet soup of agencies collaborated to manage the excess runoff, complete control proved impossible. Looking back, officials are hard pressed to find easy solutions to a problem that stemmed both from Mother Nature and our own hubris.

In meetings following high water levels in 1997 and 1999, Idaho Department of Water Resources Director Gary Spackman recalled elected officials asking, “’Why did you let us do this to ourselves?’” This time, Spackman and his colleagues have some possible answers addressing a question they feel is more relevant: “How did we do this to ourselves, and how can we stop?”

First Boiseans need to change how they think about the Boise River, and federal agencies need to help them do it. According to IDWR, too many people see the river as a recreational or economic asset, often forgetting it’s also a force of nature. Floods are seen as inconvenient rather than dangerous; a mistake that could be detrimental.

“Water changes… it’s a living thing,” said hydrologist and Idaho Water Supply Committee Chair Liz Cresto, “It’s not a pipeline or a concrete channel. People tend to forget about that.”

Specifically, they forget when building—according to Boise Floodplain Administrator Hal Simmons, there are around 1,000 homes and 500 businesses on the Boise River 100-year floodplain.

Spackman agreed with Cresto, adding the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which controls the river system during flood season, could change its messaging to help people understand the danger. “[The Corps’] public outreach doesn’t indicate the level of concern people should have when confronted with [flood] conditions,” Spackman said. “People need to realize this is about much more than not being able to walk on the greenbelt, or not being able to float the river. The real problem is that we could have water in homes, in businesses, in Boise State and all kinds of places.

“The message,” he added, “is that no matter what we do, they [the Corps] will save us. But one day there will come a year when that does not happen.”

This year came close to being the one when the river overcame the Corps’ abilities, and officials across the board agreed Mother Nature threw a curveball.

“If we had 20/20 foresight, we would have BOISE WEEKLY.COM

started releasing water sooner, but we didn’t know to do that because until the first of February we were so normal snowpack-wise,” said Brian Sauer, supervisory civil engineer of hydrology for the Bureau of Reclamation. “Then we got such a strong-building snowpack in February that we went into flood control mode. … We just got an incredible amount of snow.”

When spring hit, that incredible amount of snow became an incredible amount of water.

Only relatively low precipitation and cool temperatures in May—combined with agency efforts—kept the river in check. “[The Corps] were behind the rule curves almost the entire flood control season,” said Cresto. “At one point, they had only 200,000 acre feet in the reservoir to control 2 million acre feet of runoff.”

That means the Corps had about 586.8 billion gallons of water, at 326,000 gallons per acre foot, with nowhere to go but down into the valley.

“I have no criticism for how the federal entities operated the reservoir,” said Spackman. “They couldn’t let the water out fast enough. They did the best they could.”

The Corps is limited by the river channel capacity, which is too low to handle big releases like those necessary this year. Several solutions have been investigated by the IDWR board—including widening the channel, raising the height of dams on the river system to increase the size of

nearby reservoirs and building a new reservoir— but high costs have kept plans hypothetical.

Another option is changing the rule curves (Corps guidelines for controlling water) so release happens sooner, leaving more space for runoff in the reservoirs. However ,Spackman doesn’t think that will happen in the near future, and human interest factors make him unsure it should.

“The tension is that the reservoirs were built for a dual purpose: flood control and irrigation,” he said. “And we fight and defend that storage of water. … I don’t want those reservoirs empty all winter long if statistically you can’t defend it. So, if the Corps starts keeping those things empty for a longer period of time I’m going to be writing letters to the Corps and the Bureau [of Reclamation], saying, ‘What are you doing? You’re jeopardizing the irrigators’ storage in favor of some remote chance of something happening.’ But that remote chance will come around, and they have to balance those interests.”

The Corps is reserving judgment for now; according to Corps Public Affairs Specialist Gina Baltrusch, “There won’t be a completed afteraction report on this for quite some time.”

State and local agencies, it seems, have ground into temporary gridlock trying to find a win-win solution to prevent Snowpocolypse II. With both Mother Nature and human nature stacked against them, the reevaluation period could be a long one.

Crossing the country for Obamacare.

IDAHO ACCOUNTANT TAKES PROOBAMACARE ADVOCACY TO D.C. OFFICES OF CRAPO, RISCH It’s anybody’s guess if Republican U.S. Senate leadership can muster the votes needed to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is promising a final Obamacare showdown by the end of the week. Every Democratic senator will oppose the effort, but Idaho Republican Sens. Mike Crapo and Jim Risch have already indicated they’re inclined to support a repeal.

That so enraged Deborah Silver, a Twin Falls-based accountant and former candidate for Idaho state treasurer, she jumped on a flight from Idaho to Washington, D.C., to participate in a protest July 19 at the senators’ Capitol Hill offices.

“My clients from my tax practice talk to me all the time about their health care,” said Silver. “Those clients include a self-employed couple; they work as janitors. She’s diabetic. Before the ACA, they couldn’t get health care. She got sicker and sicker. When they secured insurance through Obamacare, all of a sudden her health got immeasurably better.”

When Silver and her fellow protesters walked into Crapo’s office, she shared more stories about her clients and neighbors and their need for affordable health care. About 30 minutes later, Capitol Hill police arrived on the scene, and put two of the protesters in handcuffs. Shortly thereafter, the remaining protesters—including Silver—made their way to Risch’s office to continue demonstrating about the importance of Obamacare.

Police followed and arrested two more protesters. All four were released by midnight.

Silver said her ACA advocacy continues, whether she’s in the nation’s capital or at home in the Magic Valley.

“Knocking on doors, participating in marches, you name it,” she said. “Health care is important to me because it’s important for my clients.”

This year’s festival features an array of local and national bands—including moe., Galactic, Con Brio and Kitchen Dwellers—set to perform against the pine-forested backdrop of Tamarack Resort near Donnelly. Come for the indie/ blues/funk/folk music marriage, stay for the games, chairlift rides, swimming, food booths and art vendors.

If you’re an outdoorsy type, snag a ticket for one of the camping spots with a Cascade Lake view that will take you within walking distance of the action and earn you admission to a campers-only performance Thursday night by Bread & Circus and Naughty Professor.

Thursday: 6:30 p.m., Friday: 3 p.m., Saturday: 1:15 p.m., $40$250. Tamarack Resort, 311 Village Dr., Tamarack, 208-3251000, thehuckleberryjam.com.

If you’re one of those people who spends half the year dreaming about funnel cakes, outdoor concerts and roller coaster rides, the Canyon County Fair should earn a place of prominence on your calendar.

Beat feet to the fair for live music from Sammy Kershaw, Old Dominion and the Marshall Tucker Band (free with the price of admission), as well as acts by more musicians, jugglers, hypnotists and local dancers. With contests that range from dancing to pie making, a carnival, livestock shows and a display of handmade arts and crafts, it’s a more than fair price at $3-$30.

Check the website for a full list of acts and events.

Thursday-Saturday: noon-midnight, Sunday: noon-9 p.m.; $3-$30. 111 S. 22nd St., Caldwell, 208-455-8500, canyoncountyfair.org.

Country music, late nights and camping under the stars. If that sounds like the good life to you, consider taking up (temporary) residence at the Mountain Home Country Music Festival.

The festival, which takes place over three days at the base of the Sawtooth Mountains near Mountain Home, is a weekend packed with performances by more than 20 of the heaviest hitters in country music on two stages. With headliners Keith Urban, Luke Bryan and Chris Stapleton and plenty of Famous Dave’s Legendary Pit Bar-B-Que powering the crowd, MHCMF promises to be a rollicking, boot-stomping good time from start to finish. According to the website, “camping is definitely the best way—some would say the only way—to experience the Festival”—so make sure to purchase a camping pass with your tickets online.

Friday: 3 p.m., Saturday: 1 p.m., Sunday: 2 p.m.; $100-$180.

OUR

EYES

Congratulations to Jolie Drake for earning a Spring Interscholastic Star Award Jolie has always been an inquisitive kid, raised on a diet of hard work and idealism.

This has driven her desire to be involved in such a broad mix of activities. A day well spent to Jolie is participating in a challenging volleyball practice or feeling the passion during a well-articulated debate. Through these activities, Jolie has learned that the most gratifying victories come from pure tenacity and tackling every challenge with optimism is certainly key. But right now, Jolie is loving that today is about figuring it all out. Experimenting, discovering and learning life skills will only enhance how Jolie approaches her bright future.

OUTLAW FIELD: DIANA KRALL—Multiple Grammy Award-winning jazz pianist and world-renowned singer Diana Krall hits town on her 2017-18 World Tour in support of her new album Turn Up The Quiet, out on Verve Records.

Krall’s unique artistry transcends any single musical style and has made her one of the most recognizable artists of our time.

AA5: DEAD WINTER CARPENTERS, JULY 26, GROVE PLAZA For the past seven years, the North Lake Tahoe, Calif.-based Dead Winter Carpenters have crisscrossed the country to promote their four albums, making regular pit stops at music festivals—including the Harvest Music Festival in Arkansas and the Northwest String Summit in Oregon—to score new fans one genre-bending performance at a time. On July 26, the five-member band will touch down in Boise for Alive After Five. DWC combines the sounds of classic rock, folk and country with bluegrass and Americana, but performs with an unbridled punk rock ethos. It’s a statement those in the know would agree with: Although DWC’s newest album, Washoe (self released, 2016), is packed with innovative string playing, they’re the kind of band you just have to see live.

YEMI ALADE AND THE OVA SABI BAND, JULY 27, KNITTING FACTORY Although Boise plays host to dozens of renowned musicians each year, it’s safe to say we’ve never had anyone quite like Yemi Alade grace a local stage.

Alade is the Nigerian-born international pop and R&B sensation you may never have heard of, although her hit single “Johnny” broke records when it was leaked in 2014, topping charts in Tanzania, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa, Liberia, Uganda, Zimbabwe, the United Kingdom and beyond. Now considered one of the most famous musicians in African history, Alade combines high-energy, bouncy beats with smooth, rich vocals to create a sound that’s borderline-addictive through the speakers and explosive on stage.

If you’ve never experienced contemporary music with deep African roots, attending Alade’s Boise debut July 27—which happens to be part of her first-ever North American tour—is a must.

NOISE SAFE AND SOUND

Russian Drama (a.k.a.

Gavin Wheeler) can see the forest and the trees with ambitious new 17-track release, Out of the Woods BEN SCHULTZ Russian literature is rich with great dramatists like Alexander Pushkin, Anton Chekhov and Maxim Gorky, but local musician Gavin Wheeler didn’t name his project Russian Drama in honor of these writers. Rather, the Meridian-based musician drew inspiration from a somewhat less respected art form.

“It’s kind of embarrassing, but I used to be big into video games when I was in middle school and high school,” Wheeler said. “That was my online moniker, Russian Drama, because I was very fascinated with Soviet [and] Communist culture and art. And drama just seemed to follow me wherever I’d go in high school, so I thought, ‘Hey, this is a good name.’”

Regardless of where the name came from, Wheeler has reason to feel proud of it. In two years, the 19-year-old musician has put out three Russian Drama albums, all of which feature a mix of jazzy blues, plaintive folk and mordantly funny lyrics. The latest record, Out of the Woods (self-released, 2017), adds some swinging rockabilly and roaring electric guitar.

As a songwriter, Wheeler strikes a balance between Gothic absurdism and plainspoken candor. He jokes about death and murder on Out of the Woods songs like “The Hearse Song” and “Thrill of the Kill,” but his sophomore release also featured “Come with Me,” a song about a boy inviting a girl to go camping, eat s’mores and read George Orwell and Virginia Woolf. As idiosyncratic as his lyrics are, though, Wheeler isn’t pretentious about his writing.

“It’s gotta be natural,” he said. “I’m lucky that I’m an awkward enough guy to kind of have that naturally.”

Born in Puyallup, Wash., Wheeler and his family moved to Idaho when he was young.

Wheeler grew up in Nampa, but whereever he was, music was a constant.

“I’ve been playing the violin since I was six, maybe,” Wheeler said. “So I’ve been performing my whole life. I was just getting bored 16 | JULY 26 – AUGUST 1, 2017 | BOISEweekly

MASTERPIECE ABOUT LOVE, MORTALITY AND HOW OUR HEART KEEPS BEATING EVEN AFTER IT STOPS.” BRIAN TRUITT,

AMONG THE MOST EXHILARATING

FILMS I’VE SEEN.” RICHARD BRODY,

STARTS FRIDAY, JULY 28th Fear not: A Ghost Story isn’t terribly scary, but it will haunt you long after you’ve seen it.

THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES… AND DEATHS A Ghost Story is a polarizing specter GEORGE PRENTICE The melancholic trance of A Ghost Story, while often spellbinding and occasionally problematic, will haunt you for many nights to come— for all the right reasons.

Film historians may point to The Innocents (1961), The Sixth Sense (1999) or even Ingmar Bergman’s 1957 classic Wild Strawberries when looking for comparisons to A Ghost Story, but this original screenplay from writer/director David Lowery is a unique achievement for its spare storytelling—not unlike some of filmmaker Terrence Malick’s best work (which we haven’t witness for a spell).

In keeping with its spartan conceit, A Ghost Story opens with a line from “A Haunted House,” a 1921 short story by Virginia Woolf: “Whatever hour you woke, there was a door shutting.” The ghostly tale was published two years after Woolf ’s death, and sharp-eyed viewers will spot a copy of “A Haunted House” mysteriously flying from a bookshelf during a pivotal scene of the film. When the book falls to the floor, it opens to a passage that reads, “Stooping, holding their silver lamp above us, long they look and deeply. Long they pause.”

The mystery of both Woolf ’s story and A Ghost Story hovers around two empirical questions: “Who are ‘they’?” and “Why are they holding silver lamps above the living?” The answer to the first question is simple, though sad:“They” are us. We are all ghosts eventually.

Here’s the good news: Those silver lamps we will hold above the living? They are the glimBOISE WEEKLY.COM

WINESIPPER THINK PINK FOR SUMMER

2016 AIX VIN DE PROVENCE ROSE, $17.99 The Provence region in France is known for its light roses. This charmer, a blend of grenache, syrah and cinsault, opens with spicy wild strawberry and melon aromas. The flavors are a crisp and snappy mix of dusty lime and light berry. A 130-year-old winery, Aix takes its name from the neighboring city founded by the Romans in 123 BC. 2016 CHATEAU DE TRINQUEVEDEL, $22 Tavel—in the southern Rhone wine region—is synonymous with rose, the only wine produced there. Heavy aromas of floral rose petal lead off, backed by spicy cherry and strawberry. This bigger styled rose is the perfect segue for red wine drinkers, offering rich berry fruit balanced by crisp acidity. Don’t be afraid to cellar this one for a year or two.

2016 DUNHAM CABERNET FRANC ROSE, $13.99 I’m not a fan of most cab francs, but it makes a great rose, and this Walla Walla winery has nailed it. There’s an intriguing touch of candied almond to the savory red berry aromas. The palate is as rich as it is refreshing. Beautifully balanced, it blends creamy cherry with bright citrus, while the silky finish lingers on.

SOPHIA ANGLE TO N

A decade or so ago, it was hard to convince people to try rose wine. Few were available, and most wine drinkers equated pink with sweet. Then, in 2014, a Wall Street Journal article came out extolling the virtues of rose as a refreshing summer choice and, almost overnight, the demand for dry rose exploded— today, there are dozens. Here are three different dry roses to try:

A BISHOP AND BURRO

Cafe Mule serves cold brew in the Boise Foothills SOPHIA ANGLE TON Kelly McDonnell was sweating in the early morning heat when she stopped to catch her breath on the Corrals Trail in the Boise Foothills “I can’t wait to see that stupid mule,” she said.

Passersby assured her she was only a couple turns away. Relieved, she started pedaling toward Cafe Mule, a foothills oasis that pops up every Saturday in the summer and early fall. The “cafe” part is a card table, a keg of nitro cold brew coffee and, on this Saturday, some Guru Donuts. The “mule” is Richard, tended by coffee slinger Matt Bishop, who calls himself “Richard’s person.”

The idea to serve coffee packed in by mule came to Bishop, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and father of three, when he was hiking in the foothills. His kids were running him and his physician’s assistant wife ragged.

“I thought the only way I could handle them was to let them burn some energy off in the foothills, but, man, I wished I had some coffee. It was all I wanted,” Bishop said. “I decided that’s what would make life better.”

Thinking the “only practical way” to get coffee to the trails was with a mule, Bishop started looking for a proper beast of burden—even turning to Craigslist in search of one for sale. He found Richard in Weiser in early 2016 but wasn’t sure he was the mule for the job.

“I really disliked Richard when I first met him,” Bishop said. “He kinda tests new people.

He was pretty pushy with me.”

Despite a mulish first impression, Bishop brought Richard home, and they headed out in May 2016 for a trial run. At first, Bishop served

Drag your ass up the trail, and reward yourself with a delicious cup of Cafe Mule Cold Brew.

hot coffee to a few dozen people at no cost, but was told he couldn’t operate on public land: The U.S. Forest Service said it would take up to three years to even consider his application.

“It became very bureaucratic. Really, we just reached the point where I wanted to keep things fairly positive,” said Bishop. “ I have no desire to be contenous with the community.” Now, Bishop and Richard set up on a patch of private land— and can accept tips.

“Those first few weekends, we would get about 30 people trickling in. Most hadn’t heard about us and were just stumbling upon us,” Bishop said.

“We started to get 50 or more people.” Bishop could no longer do pour-over hot coffees, and hiking and biking customers began requesting something cool to drink, so Bishop began serving cold brew coffee. Now, business is blossoming.

Cafe Mule Cold Brew is roasted by Seven Seeds Coffee Roasters in Emmet and bottled in Garden City. It’s available at Guru Donuts, Boise Fry Company, Urban Ascent, the Boise Co-op and Whole Foods.

Bishop said he has a few more goals for the Cafe Mule, like growing into a full-blown beverage company. So far, so good. On any given Saturday, Cafe Mule might serve nearly 100 customers from all walks (and bikes) of life.

Jeff Nielsen and his wife like to take their three kids to Cafe Mule. Getting donuts and seeing Richard is the “extra incentive” they need.

“It’s a good motivator to get them to keep walking,” said Nielsen.

On a hot day, knowing Cafe Mule is around the next turn can inspire a boost of energy, but it can be even more exciting when it’s unexpected.

“I was just riding by,” said Doug Bonser. “I think it’s just great. It’s Boise.”

That’s the feedback Bishop wants to hear.

“Our goal for the trailside service is just maintaining something unique,” he said. “We get to see people’s smiling faces, enjoying the outdoors; and I—and an animal I love—get to be there with them.”

FOOD/NEWS BITTERCREEK ALEHOUSE LAUNCHES SEVENTH ANNUAL FUNK FEST—WITH A TWIST According to David Roberts, a member of the beer team at Bittercreek Alehouse, “Sour beer was beer before there was beer. …Originally all beer was sour, and we were all just grateful for the beer, you know?” he said.

Roberts explained how brewers learned to isolate strains of yeast to create “clean beer,” an innovation that left sour beer—the result of a mixed fermentation of wild yeast, traditional yeast and bacteria—in obscurity for decades.

Now, Bittercreek brings it back every summer during Funk Fest, an eight-day exaltation of wild and sour brews that, this year, features Executive Chef Michael Ridder’s funk-friendly food and an introduction to sour beer history.

The textbook for the history lesson will be Bittercreek’s Field Guide to Wild and Sour Beers, co-written by some of the most passionate beer advocates in

the country. Split into three sections, the guide enlightens readers on where sour and wild beers began, the history of sour beer regions and styles, and the 22 sour beers on offer at Funk Fest. Bittercreek staffers hope customers will take time between sips to read about what they’re drinking.

“It’s a big ask of our clientele, but hopefully the kind of thing that they also love about us,” Roberts said.

The field guide also comes with perks: For every sour beer you try, you get to stamp your “beer passport.” Ten stamps gets you a commemorative Funk Fest beer glass, and 20 nets a second glass, plus an invitation to a private tasting at The Cellar later this summer. It’s an offer no beer lover can refuse.

CATY SOLACE Helping parents link teens’ passions to careers GEORGE PRENTICE

Caty Solace spends her days talking about higher education—not attending a four-year university, but taking a more personalized journey that could include online learning or attending an Idaho technical schools. As communications manager for the Idaho Division of Career-Technical Education, Solace excitedly talked about an upcoming hands-on event designed to link teenagers and their parents with Idaho employers who understand how to land some of the most sought-after jobs in the Gem State.

Can I assume a fair amount of your time is spent busting myths about what has been commonly called vocational education?

A huge portion of my job is bringing that into the technical age that we’re in now.

The former senior vice president of Google once told The New York Times that many people going to college put too little thought in why they’re going and what they want to get out of it.

It’s much less about what piece of paper you end up holding. It’s much more about what you can actually do.

Who are you targeting with that message?

We’re reaching teenagers, of course, but the key is to reach parents and school counselors.

And the average age of a student in a career-technology education program is...?

Twenty-seven years old. We’re trying to bring that average age down. But there are a good many people out there with a degree, but not necessarily with any skills. I was just interviewing a student who went to college and got a four-year degree in journalism. But then he wasn’t able to gain any employment. So, now he’s at the College of Southern Idaho in their wind technology program. He’s got a degree with tangible skills for that industry. Right now, we know of programs that are generating 100 percent placement into the workforce.

Excuse me—100 percent?

Energy systems instrumentation, unmanned aerial systems, diesel technology, practical and registered nursing, surgical technology, aerospace and a few more.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

I’m intrigued by your upcoming event [Wednesday, Aug. 2] at JUMP in Boise.

We’ve never done anything like this before.

We’ll fill the plaza with a lot of hands-on examples of what kind of jobs are out there. That’s where you’ll also find reps from all of Idaho’s technical colleges.

And scholarships?

Attendees can post photos on Facebook or Twitter, tag us, and be eligible to win more than $14,500 in scholarships.

But parents and teens want to hear the straight scoop from employers.

Upstairs, in JUMP’s huge circular room, there will be people from Simplot, Scentsy, the Idaho Technology Council, Thomas Cuisine Management, the Idaho Hospital Association and the Association of General Contractors.

We adults commonly make the mistake of asking 15- or 16-year-olds, “What do you want to do for a living?” when, in fact, we should probably be asking, “What do you like to do?”

That’s the key. Do you love cooking or food?

Well, you should probably be talking to the folks at Thomas Cuisine. Do you like robots or drones?

The Idaho Technology Council would love to talk to you. Growing things? Let me introduce you to Simplot. Building or fixing things? There’s the Association of General Contractors. But on how many occasions would you find them all in one room, anxious to talk to you?

Traditionally, the middle of summer isn’t the time teenagers think about careers.

But their parents sure are.

How do you best reach those parents or school counselors?

We’ve had tremendous success via Facebook.

It just so happens that we’ll also be hosting about 800 educators in Boise at the same time. It’s what we call our annual Reach Conference for Professional Development.

The name for that Aug. 2 event?

It’s pretty simple: Journey to a Career. Simple, but incredibly important.

DEAR MINERVA, Over the last several years, my friend has been involved with an abusive and unpredictable man. She has continually come to me to complain of her woes and frustration with him, often late at night. It is always the same story about how she wants to leave, but she has to stay with him for the sake of the children. I can’t take any more of her complaining about it and then never doing anything about it or listening to advice. What can I do to put a stop to it? It has become detrimental to my own peace of mind.

THE RADICAL MYCOLOGY MIXTAPE PROJECT Peter McCoy is a lover of all things musical and mycological.

As the leader of a mushroom cultivation course hosted by Boise Urban Garden School, McCoy is also the brains behind Radical Mycology, a group that aims to “strengthen human-fungal relations,”in part by hosting a Radical Mycology Convergence to celebrate the wonders of the mushroom.

In 2016, the convergence featured performances ranging from FREE, radicalmycology.com/ radical-mycology-music-project “multiple fungal freestyles and Submit your demos to mixecoactivism spoken word pieces” tape@radicalmycology.com to folk-punk ballads. It inspired RM’s latest project: a mixtape of mushroom-related music, scheduled for releaset in December.

If you’re a musician and a mushroom lover, submit a track to Radical Mycology before the deadline on Tuesday, Aug. 1.

DEAR ENOUGH,

Taken by instagram user dr_kelso.

You must have one soggy shoulder from all these years of letting her cry. This is not an easy situation to navigate. While I feel we should come from a place of understanding whenever helping people with their problems, there are some times when we must be tough. She’s stuck in a rut and you need to tell her, flat out, that she needs to either do something to get out of the situation or she needs to learn to accept it. The excuse of “staying for the kids” is a way for her to rationalize her inability to mobilize and get out. After all, an abusive environment is unhealthy for the children, even if the abuse is directed at her.

It will be a tough conversation. Offer to help find resources to help her get out of the situation. If she refuses, then make your boundary clear.

TED RALL

JEN SORENSEN

HOBO JARGON

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Are you feeling as daring about romance as I suspect? If so, I’ve composed a provocative note for you to give to anyone you have good reason to believe will be glad to receive it. Feel free to copy it word-for-word or edit it to suit your needs. Here it is: “I want to be your open-hearted explorer. Want to be mine? We can be in foolishly cool drooling devotion to each other’s mighty love power. We can be in elegant solid-gold allegiance to each other’s genius. Wouldn’t it be fun to see how much liberation we can whip up together? We can play off our mutual respect as we banish the fearful shticks in our bags of tricks. We can inspire each other to reach unexpected heights of brazen intelligence.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You still have a wound that never formed a proper scar. (We’re speaking metaphorically here.) It’s chronically irritated. Never quite right. Always stealing bits of your attention. Would you like to do something to reduce the distracting power of that annoying affliction?

The next 25 days will be a favorable time to seek such a miracle. All the forces of nature and spirit will conspire in your behalf if you formulate a clear intention to get the healing you need and deserve.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In his poem “The Initiate,” Charles

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Simic speaks of “someone who solved life’s riddles in a voice of an ancient Sumerian queen.” I hope you’re not focused on seeking help and revelations from noble and grandiose sources like that, Gemini.

If you are, you may miss the useful cues and clues that come your way via more modest informants. So please be alert for the blessings of the ordinary. As you work on solving your quandaries, give special attention to serendipitous interventions and accidental luck.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): For many years, the Tobe Zoological Park in China housed a “praying panther” named Ato. The large black feline periodically rose up on her hind legs and put her paws together as if petitioning a higher power for blessings. I suggest we make her your spirit ally in the coming weeks. I hope she’ll inspire you to get your restless mind out of the way as you seek to quench your primal needs. With the praying panther as your muse, you should be able to summon previously untapped reserves of your animal intelligence and cultivate an instinctual knack for knowing where to find raw, pristine satisfaction.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Do you really have to be the flashy king or charismatic queen of all you survey? Must all your subjects put on kneepads and prostrate themselves as they bask in your glory?

Isn’t it enough for you to simply be the master of your own emotions, and the boss of your own time, and the lord of your own destiny? I’m not trying to stifle your ambition or cramp your enthusiasm; I just want to make sure you don’t dilute your willpower by trying to wield command over too wide a swath.

The most important task, after all, is to manage your own life with panache and ingenuity. But I will concede this: The coming weeks will be a time when you can also probably get away with being extra worshiped and adored.

dealing smartly with your personal share of the world’s suffering, and your day-to-day decisions are based more on love than fear. You’re not taking things too personally or too seriously, and you seem better equipped than everyone else to laugh at the craziness that surrounds us. And even if aliens don’t appear, I bet you will serve as an inspiring influence for more human beings than you realize. Does being a role model sound boring? I hope not. if you regard it as an interesting gift, it will empower you to wield more clout than you’re used to.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Dear Hard Worker: Our records indicate that you have been neglecting to allot yourself sufficient time to rest and recharge. In case you had forgotten, you are expected to take regular extended breaks, during which time it is mandatory to treat yourself with meticulous care and extreme tenderness. Please grant yourself an immediate dispensation. Expose yourself to intensely relaxing encounters with play, fun, and pleasure—or else! No excuses will be accepted.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): During the four years he worked on painting the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo never took a bath.

Was he too preoccupied with his masterpiece? Modern artist Pae White has a different relationship with obsession. To create her fabric art pieces, she has spent years collecting more than 3,500 scarves designed by her favorite scarf-maker. Then there’s filmmaker James Cameron, who hired an expert in linguistics to create an entire new language from scratch for the aliens in his movie Avatar.

In accordance with the astrological omens, Scorpio, I approve of you summoning this level of devotion—as long as it’s not in service to a transitory desire, but rather to a labor of love that has the potential to change your life for the better for a long time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If extraterrestrial beings land their spaceship on my street and say they want to meet the creatures who best represent our planet, I will volunteer you Libras. Right now, at least, you’re nobler than the rest of us, and more sparkly, too. You’re

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “The purpose of art is to lay bare the questions that have been hidden by the answers,” wrote author James Baldwin. Even if you’re not an artist, I encourage you to make that your purpose in the coming weeks. Definitive answers will at best be irrelevant and at worst useless. Vigorous doubt and inquiry, on the other hand, will be exciting and invigorating. They will mobilize you to rebel against any status quos that have been tempting you to settle for mediocrity.

fact so unnatural a phenomenon that it can scarcely repeat itself, the soul being unable to become virgin again and not having energy enough to cast itself out again into the ocean of another’s soul.”

My challenge to you, Aquarius—in accordance with the astrological omens—is to prove Joyce wrong.

Figure out how to make your soul virgin again so it can cast itself out into the ocean of another’s soul. The next eight weeks will be prime time to achieve that glorious feat.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’re in a phase of your cycle when the most useful prophecies are more lyrical than logical.

So here you go: three enigmatic predictions to help stir up the creative ingenuity you’ll need to excel on your upcoming tests. 1.

A darling but stale old hope must shrivel and wane so that a spiky, electric new hope can be born.

2. An openness to the potential value of a metaphorical death will be one of your sweetest assets.

3. The best way to cross a border is not to sneak across bearing secrets but to stride across in full glory with nothing to hide.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Years after he had begun his work as a poet, Rainer Maria Rilke confessed that he was still finding out what it took to do his job.

“I am learning to see,” he wrote.

“I don’t know why it is, but everything enters me more deeply and doesn’t stop where it once used to.” Given the current astrological omens, you have a similar opportunity, Pisces, to learn more about how to see. It won’t happen like magic. You can’t just sit back passively and wait for the universe to accomplish it for you, but if you decide you really would like to be more perceptive—if you resolve to receive and register more of the raw life data flowing toward you— you will expand and deepen your ability to see.
