According to the National Centers for Environmental Information (ncei.noaa.gov), the Monday, Aug. 21 total solar eclipse, visible in the United States alone, will only be totally viewable from Kansas City, Missouri; Lincoln, Nebraska; Salem, Oregon; Columbia and Charleston, South Carolina and Nashville, Tennessee—but everyone in all 50 states will be able to view at least a portion of the event. Scheduled to last around 90 minutes, this eclipse will be the first to cross the U.S. since 1979 and the first since 1918 to travel from coast to coast. Millions of Americans and overseas visitors are expected to head out in search of the perfect viewing spot—here in Idaho, a friend put a room in her house up on Airbnb.com in January in anticipation, and someone reserved it within an hour.

The influx and movement of all of these people will mean bumper-to-bumper traffic, especially in cities lying in the path of the eclipse. Travel times are expected to increase at least fourfold, and the temporary population of resort towns will likely explode.

National and local officials suggest packing emergency supplies like water, blankets, food, flashlights, etc., in preparation for the possibility of getting stranded in traffic overnight.

I can be something of a doomsayer, so my personal plans have vacillated. I certainly do not believe the eclipse is a harbinger of the apocalypse; I have just been imagining worst-case-scenarios of motoring along a winding mountain road with a few thousand other excited eclipsers. If my car doesn’t overheat from hours of stop-and-go driving, the National Guard will arrive, tell us the road has been closed for some top-secret reason, and say we can either stay in our cars for what might be a few days or risk hiking out of the area through the nearby forest. Since I watch way too many horror movies, of course something or someone would be lurking nearby.

Logically, I know my worries are probably unfounded. Plus, I have an ace in the hole: my smart, nerdy husband. He’s as excited about seeing the eclipse as a kid going to Disneyland, so I’m going to try and channel some of his joy and get excited about it, too.

AFTER THE “BED SHEET PROTEST,” NOT EVERYONE IS SLEEPING WELL Unfortunately, I don’t really feel it was a success. We had to make, what I call, “a deal with the devil.” The impact on our neighborhood is still there. Integrity lost, overdevelopment still happening, and safety is still a concern.

We only reached the “compromise” because it impacts Jake and I less. It’s really unfortunate that these developers are allowed to come in and divide up these lots, and as long as they reach code, the neighbors don’t have a say-so in the matter.

And then they just get to walk away and they don’t have to deal with the consequences of their development. We do. It’s really an unfortunate situation for the citizens that live in the areas where this is happening. There is a better way to do this—a way that is mutually beneficial for all.

The city should reevaluate as it continues to grow.

—Adrianne McDannel Burlile, Facebook

It’s a tough balance.

Higher density, but still single family, housing (a.k.a. infill) keeps traffic and long commute air pollution down for all, but has to be balanced with the character of the neighborhood. The city needs to create house size/ lot size constraints as well as consider street/garage parking. Builders/developers will need to be flexible and creative to accommodate parking needs while minimizing disturbances to neighbors. Neighbors need to be flexible and understand that landowners have property rights to respect. It sounds like this was a case where all those aspects were met for a compromise solution. We need more middle ground solutions like this. There’s no “me” in compromise.

—Chiliheadboise, boiseweekly.com This community sounds like bunch of snobs. Just because a house and lot is smaller does not mean the owners are of an inferior quality or character. I

wouldn’t want to live with neighbors that have a preconceived attitude.

—Darla L. Nordstrom, Facebook That’s great that they had success. Our neighborhood did not, and what was zoned for single use dwellings became a 50 unit (talked down from 125) low income with a private basketball court. The surveyors made a mistake, but this would be on a less than three acre area. Residents have also stated the schools are at capacity in the area. This also happened in the East End. While I believe low income housing and fair housing is needed, I wish the city would have been realistic to the area.

It was foolish to develop a plan without coordination and discussion with the adjacent properties. In Salt Lake City, this is required. Maybe Boise should try it. Flag lots are dumb and can drastically change the effect [on] other properties. That said, density is the way forward.

NEWS THE POWER BROKERS

The Union Block Alley is set for a 2018 facelift.

ALLEY TRASH-FORMATION The Union Block alley between Eighth Street and Capitol Boulevard is an odorous blight on the downtown Boise landscape. However, plans to transform the dumpster-lined access road into an attractive pedestrian walkway mean that’s about the change.

“The whole project actually started with our property management company just wanting to move the dumpsters out to clean up the alley a bit,” said Parklane Management Company representative Anne Wescott. “That idea ended up snowballing into a much bigger and wonderful project.”

The Union Alley beautification is part of a venture to improve both the function and aesthetics of alleys in downtown Boise. Power lines will move underground, and decorative pavers will replace pothole-pitted asphalt. Property owners CCDC and Park Lane Management are also coordinating to update garbage management; dumpsters and bins of restaurant waste will be replaced with a trash compactor, two recycling compactors and a cardboard bailer to be stored in the Union Block parking garage.

“Buying these compactors is not cheap,” Wescott said. “They’re around $30,000, but in five years we will be making money off the new trash and recycling system because we’ll have cut out a lot of expenses.”

A pipeline to transport waste to a single collection well will eliminate barrels of discarded restaurant grease, making it easier to recycle, and restored sandstone facades and large window wells will enhance the new public and commercial space.

“I imagine a staircase leading down to an area where nighttime people are grabbing a bite or sitting down and hanging out,” said Wescott.

Some restaurants may add back patios or takeout windows that open onto the alley, while the lot behind Saint Lawrence Gridiron will become a pocket park. Historic signage on the building walls will be restored alongside new art installations, and the space will be illuminated with overhead festival lighting. Construction should be completed by fall 2018.

“I’ve worked in the public sector all my career and this was an unusual moment where we were on the same page as the city, and longtime downtown developers,” said Wescott.

“I thought, ‘We need to seize this moment.’”

Three Idaho political insiders and the organizations that could help put the next governor in office GEORGE PRENTICE Any Idaho candidate with an eye on the governor’s seat shouldn’t underestimate the considerable sway held by Wayne Hoffman, Alex LaBeau and Courtney Washburn of the Idaho Freedom Foundation, Idaho Association of Commerce and Industry, and Conservation Voters for Idaho, respectively. The trio are loath to brag about their political clout, however.

“If I came to work every day worrying about power, I’d be working for the wrong reasons,” said LaBeau, president of IACI, an organization whose 300-plus members include a who’s who of Idaho employers. “I want Idaho to succeed and the people of Idaho to succeed. I come to work with that mentality, and don’t worry about the rest.

That said, if you have the resources and ability to influence, you should, by all means.”

Washburn, executive director of CVI since 2015, said her political mission—made obvious by the name of the organization she heads— is more clear. CVI openly endorses and funds campaigns.

“We work to protect clean air, clean water and public lands in Idaho, and we do so by changing the political landscape,” she said. “[But] don’t assume for a moment we work only with Republicans or Democrats.”

Hoffman, who helped found IFF in 2009, pointed out his organization doesn’t endorse candidates, but he conceded it does skew right, politically.

“At first, some people described us as conservative or libertarian. Early on, I tried to stay away from those words,” he said. “But a few years ago, we said, ‘OK. Let’s bring it down to the language that Idahoans use,’ which is, indeed, conservative.”

In anticipation of the 2018 Idaho gubernatorial race—already on pace to be the most expensive and hotly contested in recent memory—Hoffman, LaBeau and Washburn offered up several headline-grabbing pieces of news across separate, wide-ranging conversations: First, even though Idaho is nine months from its May 2018 primary and 15 months from the November 2018 general election, one organiza-

(L-R) Wayne Hoffman, Courtney Washburn and Alex LaBeau, the hidden political influencers of Idaho.

tion is already poised to make a key endorsement; Second, all three top GOP gubernatorial candidates—Boise-based developer Tommy Ahlquist, Congressman Raul Labrador and Lt. Gov. Brad Little—have been meeting regularly in private with one of the organizations; Third, all three organizations agree oldfashioned, door-to-door retail politics, not an onslaught of social or mass media advertising, will decide who the next governor of Idaho will be.

THE RACE FOR IDAHO GOVERNOR IS ALREADY ON ITS SECOND LAP One of the worst kept political secrets in Idaho is about Boise businessman and Boise School District trustee A.J. Balukoff: He is expected to make another run for governor as a Democrat in 2018, although he scored less than 39 percent of the vote in a challenge to Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter in 2014. The latter cruised to re-election with 54 percent of the vote.

“He’s a good guy, but I think we differ on policies in quite a few different areas,” said LaBeau.

“I don’t think a whole lot will change from our perspective when it comes to Mr. Balukoff in 2018, outside of the fact that he’s going to be more experienced than he was the last time he went down this road.”

LaBeau, like most insiders, is keeping close tabs on the Republican field, which will see Ahlquist, Labrador and Little facing off in primary on Tuesday, May 15, 2018. According to the latest campaign finance disclosures, filed July 31 with the Idaho Secretary of State, the candidates have already begun building formidable war chests for the electoral battle.

Ahlquist reported raising $952,531 between Jan. 1 and June 30—more than one-third of

it from his own pocket. Labrador reported $309,046 during the same six-month period and Little raised $229,501.

Those figures may not be what each of the candidates has on hand, however. Ahlquist already spent a lot of money—$615,905, to be exact—on broadcast advertising in the first half of 2017.

His campaign bank account at the end of June showed a balance of $156,171, Labrador’s was $287,822 and Little’s account was at $449,258, much of it from fundraising prior to 2017.

“Mr. Ahlquist is clearly spending more than anybody right now,” said Washburn. “He has very deep pockets. And his presence on television is quite robust right now.”

WAYNE HOFFMAN: THE CANDIDATE WHISPERER The Idaho Freedom Foundation will host what is promised to be the “shindig of the summer for liberty lovers”—its annual Faces of Freedom Banquet, Saturday, Aug. 26, at the Riverside Hotel in Boise ($50 for non-members). There’s no official confirmation that Ahlquist, Labrador or Little will be on the guest list, but Ahlquist and Labrador have committed to being sponsors of the event.

Hoffman reiterated that his organization doesn’t endorse, but it does have an interest in the outcome.

“Our goal is to have a good relationship with whomever the next governor is, and I should tell you that we have had conversations with each of the candidates,” he said. “We see ourselves as an independent arbiter. We work with everybody.

We have supplied all of them with information on the state budget.”

One meeting with Ahlquist just before he BOISE WEEKLY.COM

announced his candidacy revealed he and IFF were, for the most part, on the same page.

“Tommy Ahlquist came to our office a month before he announced his run for governor and said, ‘Wayne, I love the work that you’re doing at the Freedom Foundation,’” said Hoffman. “We talked on a number of occasions.”

Several months (and a number of conversations with IFF) later, Ahlquist stunned more than a few pundits when he announced June 13 that, if elected, he would slash $100 million from the Idaho state budget within the first 100 days of his administration. Ahlquist wasn’t specific about where most of the cuts would come from, but took aim at the many task forces Otter has employed to tackle big-ticket issues like education, health care and more.

What many Idahoans may not know is Ahlquist’s $100 million target was close to the dollar figure the Idaho Freedom Foundation said should be cut from the state spending plan.

“In fact, we did a memo that said you could cut $96 million from the budget and, two days later, Ahlquist came out and said he would cut $100 million,” said Hoffman. “He’s listening.

I appreciate that. I was really proud of him for saying that, and I sent him a text message and said, ‘I’m really glad that you came out with that position.’”

COURTNEY WASHBURN: DIRECT VOTER CONTACTS Washburn said CVI “doesn’t have a working relationship” with the Idaho Freedom Foundation.

“We’re often at odds with their candidates,” she said. “For several years, many of those candidates led the effort to take over public lands and hand them over to the state. I’m glad to say they’ve been largely unsuccessful, but they are not to be dismissed.”

Washburn took the reins of Conservation Voters for Idaho in 2015 after spending nearly a decade lobbying at the Idaho Statehouse for the Idaho Conservation League. She has seen plenty of Idaho candidates—but not many like Ahlquist.

“I think he’s fascinating when you look at his track record of development in downtown Boise and then you hear that he’s an emergency room physician,” said Washburn. “But then we hear from him about slashing $100 million from the state budget. It makes me cringe to think about it, because the usual tendency for cuts comes at the expense of the most vulnerable populations or funds from public service.”

CVI has enjoyed significant political victories with both Republican and Democratic candidates receiving its endorsements and political support.

“It’s interesting to see what’s unfolding across the Idaho. Walk into a coffee shop in Boise and you’ll hear young activists on the left side of the political spectrum talking about their plans for change. Pull into a gas station in Challis and BOISE WEEKLY.COM

A vigil at the Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial in Boise drew a crowd 200 strong.

BOISE RESPONDS TO VIOLENCE IN CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA.

According to the power brokers, many Idahoans already know who they’d like to see in Otter’s office.

you’ll hear just as much talk about change, but from the right side of the spectrum.”

For all the commercials that are expected to flood Idaho radio and television airwaves, Washburn said the 2018 election cycle will require a considerable amount of in-person campaigning.

“This is complicated work. My favorite meetings are at the kitchen table,” she said. “Currently we have seven salaried staff but, because of the political nature of our work, we’ll have up to 25 in the election cycle doing direct voter contacts.

Maybe more.”

ALEX LABEAU: READY TO ENDORSE Two of the three Republican candidates who want to be the next governor of Idaho have close ties to the Idaho Association of Commerce and Industry, perhaps the most influential business lobbyist organization in the state.

“Mr. Ahlquist used to sit on our board of directors and Lieutenant Governor Little is a former chair of our organization,” said LaBeau, a former lobbyist for the Idaho Association of Realtors who joined IACI as its CEO in 2004 and became the president of the organization in 2006. “And we have known Congressman Labrador very well, working with him on issues with varying levels of success. We’re pretty familiar with the candidates.”

LaBeau said his organization is so familiar with the candidates, in fact, that it is poised to make what could be a game-changing endorsement.

“Right now, it’s about the winnability of the candidate,” he said. “I think you can expect to hear an endorsement from our organization sometime after Labor Day. And then we‘ll make some further decisions on how we might engage in the race.”

IACI also has its own political action commit-

tee, the Idaho Prosperity Fund, “to take a more active and effective part in government,” but LaBeau said significant funds likely won’t flow from the PAC into the campaign coffers of its preferred candidate for governor.

“It doesn’t do our members any good to have just another place for them to put their money for a candidate. They can contribute on their own and that’s fine. They should do that,” he said. “It’s really about the endorsement and the engagement. That’s where we make the most out of the organization.”

LaBeau added that, even more than a year before the general election, a good many IACI members have probably already made up their minds about who should be the next governor.

“There’s a pretty clear delineation between the candidates. Yes, there are things we agree [on] with all three of them. But it’s really about winnability,” he said. “We spend a decent amount of time looking at the analysis of who is going to be able to get people to show up and vote.”

Much like Washburn, LaBeau is convinced in-person campaigning is key.

“It’s about putting more people in the field.

We experimented with that in the last election cycle. It takes a lot of skill and it’s time-consuming,” he said. “But, by and large, it’s the most effective way to campaign.”

Another factor that might determine the next governor, according to LaBeau, is the current governor.

“For a sitting governor to have [a] more than 60 percent approval rating after 12 years in office is unprecedented,” said LaBeau. “I don’t think voters will look past that so easily. We track just about everything that’s going on in the campaign, but don’t count out the ‘Otter Effect.’”

During violent clashes in Charlottesville, Virginia, over the weekend, white nationalist demonstrators—there to protest the removal of a Gen. Robert E. Lee statue—fought counterdemonstrators with bare knuckles, billy-clubs and homemade shields bearing the insignias of the Ku Klux Klan and National Socialist Movement. One man plowed his Dodge Charger into the crowd, killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer, of Charlottesville, and injuring 19 others.

President Donald Trump lambasted the hatred and violence, but stopped short of condemning the extreme white-nationalist elements, saying moral responsibility fell “on many sides.” His comments irked Democrats and Republicans alike, and Trump, possibly bowing to pressure from his advisors and the public, added on Aug. 14: “Those who cause violence in [racism’s] name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups.”

The public outcry in Idaho was swift and unequivocal. During a vigil at the Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial the evening of Aug. 13, Idaho Black History Museum Director Phillip Thompson told a crowd of more than 200 people that only through “coordinated action” would any good come from the events in Charlottesville. United Vision for Idaho Executive Director Adrienne Evans identified the conflict as part of “systemic racism that continues to afflict our country and our state.” The vigil was a time to “recognize that this is the America that we live in.”

“It is no surprise to anyone of color, to anyone who is transgender or gay, to anyone living with a disability. This is the constant threat of systemic discrimination,” Evans said in a call to action.

Other Gem State officials were quick to respond as well. In a tweet Aug. 13, Sen. Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) called what happened in Virginia an act of “domestic terrorism,” and rejected “racism and hate perpetuated by white supremacist groups.” Rep. Mike Simpson (RIdaho) wrote that the hateful rhetoric of white supremacy and violence “have no place in this country,” and Sen. Jim Risch (R-Idaho) wrote, “The hateful acts of racism we witnessed in Charlottesville this weekend are reprehensible and I condemn them in the strongest terms.”

OKLAHOMA!

WESTERN IDAHO FAIR

The Caldwell Night Rodeo has received no shortage of accolades during its 83-year run. The five-night shindig has been repeatedly nominated by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association as the country’s top large outdoor rodeo, and was named one of the 10 best rodeos in the West by Real Time Cowboy magazine.

According to American Cowboy Magazine, Caldwell Night Rodeo is one of the 101 best events in the West.

The CNR features seven acts each night and brings in more than 600 contestants and 45,000 fans for hours of bull riding, steer wrestling, team and tie-down roping, barrel racing and a corral-ful of other events. So, whether you’re just curious what all the fuss is about, or you’re an aficiona-rodeo, it’s time to saddle up your inner cowboy or cowgirl and trot on out to the CNR. 5 p.m., FREE-$85. 2207 Blaine St., Caldwell, 208-459-2060, caldwellnightrodeo.com.

Cowboy Curly and farmhand Jud will be back on the range this summer when Opera Idaho brings Oklahoma!, the much-loved tale of Old West romance and rivalry, to stages across Boise. Since its Broadway debut in 1943, Oklahoma! has been delighting audiences with laughable love triangles, catchy musical numbers and down-home charm. See Opera Idaho performances at the Scentsy Amphitheatre, Egyptian Theatre or Idaho Shakespeare Festival, and watch Curly McLain (Jason Detwiler) and Jud Fry (Jim Poston) vie for the hand of the beautiful Laurey Williams (Jena Carpenter). Take the whole family to this all-ages show and enjoy a picnic on the Idaho Shakespeare Festival lawn or escape the summer heat in Egyptian Theatre or the Scensty Amphitheatre..

Aug. 18, 7:30 p.m., Scentsy Amphitheatre. Aug. 20, 2:30 p.m., Idaho Shakespeare Festival. Aug. 21, 7:30 p.m., Egyptian Theatre. $24-$48, 1718.operaidaho.org.

The Western Idaho Fair is celebrating 120 years with more than the usual array of fried food vendors, livestock competitions, star-studded concerts, carnival rides and wacky acts. This year, as the fair coincides with the total eclipse Monday, Aug. 21, patrons arriving at the gates that day will receive a free pair of eclipse viewing glasses and a ticket for a drawing that will net four lucky entrants seats at the top of the Ferris wheel when the eclipse hits totality at 11:27 a.m. KTVB is also giving away seats on the wheel, which you can enter to win online. If you don’t score a golden ticket, don’t worry—you can console yourself with a deep-fried Snickers bar, a giant turkey leg or a visit to the fair’s new 8-foot robotic dinosaur, Stryker.

STEVE EARLE AND THE DUKES, AUG. 16, THE EGYPTIAN According to his online biography, Steve Earle has been called “a folk troubadour, a rockabilly raver, a contemplative bluesman, a honky-tonk rounder, a snarling rocker and even a bluegrass practitioner.” Whatever genre he’s slotted him into, there is one thing critics agree on: The man can sing.

Music fans may know the Grammy Award-winning Earle for his throaty, gravel-edged voice, but he’s also an author, actor, radio show host, and political activist known for his stance against the death penalty and getting the Confederate “Stars and Bars” removed from the Mississippi state flag.

The 62-year-old Earle—who is in recovery from a yearslong heroin addiction, cares for his autistic son and is writing an autobiography—has 16 studio albums under his belt, including the ’70s-inspired So You Wannabe an Outlaw, which came out in June on Warner Bros. And you thought you were busy.

ARTS & CULTURE

The Rotary Grand Plaza bollards (left) and “Call and Respond” at Fire Station Eight (right) couldn’t be more different—both in their messages and how they express them to the public.

ART TALKS

Public art pieces at Julia Davis Park and Fire Station Eight have stories to tell LE X NEL SON Boise boasts almost 600 pieces of public art— that’s about 9.3 pieces per square mile, which means someone strolling through downtown is practically guaranteed to run into one. These odes to creativity come with a price tag of more than $4 million, but thanks to a 2001 ordinance requiring 1.4 percent of all city project funds go toward putting artwork on display, Boise can afford it.

Some pieces have obvious local connections visible at a glance: The rock cairn on Broad Street is a nod to the Boise River and the Basque Block mural draws a clear line to the rich Basque history in Boise—but others communicate meaning in a more veiled way.

Among the many installations that merit further inspection are the orange pillars dotting Rotary Grand Plaza in Julia Davis Park and the artistically enhanced bench at Fire Station Eight.

As it turns out, one is an “exploratory experience” and the other can only be experienced if it’s viewed at the right time.

ROTARY GRAND PLAZA AT JULIA DAVIS Sandwiched between the Rose Garden and Zoo Boise, Rotary Grand Plaza is the culmination of a 10-year, $150,000 fundraising effort and an award-winning design by landscape artists Jensen Belts Associates. To the casual observer, however, the Boise Grove-sized plaza is simply a brick circle where two paths meet, centered by a bronze medallion and dotted with waist-high orange pillars seemingly scattered at random. A closer look reveals each pillar is topped with a historic photograph and donor’s 16 | AUGUST 16–22, 2017 | BOISEweekly

name—their purpose, however, is unclear.

Apparently, thee creators of the plaza were aiming for puzzlement.

“There is not a plaque that communicates the design or historical message, it is more of an exploratory experience,” said Boise Parks and Recreation Planning Manager Toby Norton. “Part of art is to experience it and take from it for yourself.

We anticipate that if someone has questions they will do some work to figure it out.”

According to Parks and Recreation, the pillars (which are actually called “bollards”) are meant to represent the apple trees that once stood on the plaza site. Until 1908, when Tom Davis donated the land to the city in memory of his wife, Julia, the park served as the family orchard. This explains the historic photos, which were carefully curated by Boise artist Ward Hooper—but why make the “tree stumps” orange? Contrary to first impression, the bold color choice was not a nod to Boise State University.

“The intent was not to be too literal in the representation of tree stumps,” said Norton. “The color was chosen as a way to stand out from the surrounding green.”

As for the apparently random way the bollards are placed, it turns out that was deliberate, too.

“With the size of the plaza we don’t expect most people to be able to take it in on just one visit,” Norton said. “Rather, they can see and experience something new with each visit.”

‘CALL AND RESPOND’ AT FIRE STATION EIGHT While the message behind the Rotary Plaza

bollards is almost too subtle to receive, the new art installation at Fire Station Eight screams its story for all to hear—if the viewer is there at the right time.

By day, the sculpture is a pair of concrete benches capped at the sides with short black columns and flanking a black pillar, which features fire-related designs, panels of historical photographs and a brass bell set in its peak. But wait long enough, and its form reveals its function.

“The entire sculpture is tied to the alarm system in the building,” said Karl LeClair, public art manager for the Boise City Department of Arts and History. “So when the firemen inside Station Eight get a call and the alarm sounds inside the building to wake them … the bell outside [on the sculpture] rings to help notify anybody in the immediate area that the fire trucks are getting ready to come out. And the interior of each of the columns is lit up with LED lights, so it flashes red and white light as well.”

Part safety measure and part proud display, “Call and Respond” is layered with meanings that aren’t apparent for most of the day. If the original vision of artists Ken McCall, Leslie Dixon and Mark Baltes had come to pass, however, the voice of the piece would have rung even longer and louder. “[The bell] was originally intended to ring for five minutes, which is the average response time for any single fire station,” LeClair said, “but upon actually experiencing the bell ringing for five minutes straight, it was a little too much.”

Still, he added, “It’s pretty exciting to actually see [the piece] kick into action.”

C HRISTIAN SPRENGER

Two strong, late-summer films made me wonder, “When did August movies get so good?”

While the month has historically seen a harvest of half-hearted film efforts, the crop this year has yielded some superb productions—The Glass Castle and Lady Macbeth among them. Joining the list is thriller Wind River and sweet indie Brigsby Bear.

Wind River is the fabulous second film from director Taylor Sheridan, whose Hell or High Water was the surprise hit of 2016 and muscled its way to a Best Picture Oscar.

The cinematic terrain should feel instantly familiar to anyone who has spent time in the backcountry of the Intermountain West, with its breathtaking beauty tempered by the everpresent threat of danger.

The heat is on: Wind River (top) and Brigsby Bear (bottom) are a couple of great late-summer films.

In this heart-pounding thriller, Sheridan (who also penned the tight screenplay) reclaims crime procedurals for the big screen after so many years in which television coveted mas.

CITIZEN DR. DON COBERLY AND COBY DENNIS

Boise School District No. 1 administrators on trust, expectations and heroes GEORGE PRENTICE

Dr. Don Coberly and Coby Dennis are the two administrators at the helm of Boise School District No. 1, the second-largest district in Idaho next to Meridian. They are spending much of their time in an almost nonstop series of meetings in anticipation of the Tuesday, Aug. 22 start to the 2017-18 academic year and, as graduates of Borah High School, both men are products of the district they manage. What’s more, Dennis is the son of the late Dehryl Dennis, who served as Boise School District superintendent in the mid-1990s.

“We’re spending [a lot] of time meeting with all of our principals and assistants,” said Coberly. “It’s all about focusing on culture and trust, and reaffirming our high expectations.”

Coberly and Dennis sat down to discuss those expectations as nearly 26,000 students prepared to begin another school year.

What are you talking about with your administrators and teachers this year that you didn’t talk about in, say, 2010?

Coberly: For one, we’re about to enter into our fourth year of the state’s new career ladder for educators. Outside of the issue of pay raises for teachers, which have been hugely important, we have also awarded leadership stipends to roughly one-fourth to one-third of our teachers

18 | AUGUST 16–22, 2017 | BOISEweekly

in Boise. Those stipends are probably the most effective way of rewarding people who want to do that extra work.

we turned to the voters for approval of a levy in order to maintain class size, and we got that passed.

Can I assume it’s not easy to secure a job as a teacher in the Boise School District?

Dennis: It’s competitive. We have clearly invested in compensating our teachers in [a way] we think is fair. The top of our pay schedule is about $70,000.

Fast forward to May this year, when you put another challenge in front of voters: a stunning $172.5 million bond.

Coberly: That won 86 percent approval. You don’t get 86 percent approval for any measure unless there’s a certain amount of trust and appreciation for teachers. It’s not about us in the administrative offices. It’s about the teachers. I can go out and talk to every civic organization in the city, but it’s about teachers talking about what they need.

Dennis: This year’s bond referendum was the district’s biggest ask, ever.

How about the other end of the scale?

What’s the district’s average base salary for a beginning teacher?

Coberly: Almost $37,000, but the real reason teachers want to work in this district goes beyond the money. It’s our commitment to professional development.

I pulled out some notes from a conversation we had back in 2010. Things were quite different then: The district hadn’t purchased new textbooks for three years running, there were staff reductions and the district even had to scatter the start times for some schools to shrink the transportation budget.

Coberly: I think we ended up cutting about $20 million out of the budget. Then, in 2012,

That bond will ultimately fund nearly two dozen projects across the district for the next several years. Can you tell us what we’ll see happening soon?

Coberly: For example, Boise High School’s gym was built in 1936, and Boise High’s music building, right next door, was built in the 1950s. When it rained and snowed this past year, we had significant damage. Think about this: One of the finest high-school chamber orchestras in the country under a roof that leaks

24/7. Well, we’re going to do something about that. Then, think about the boys and girls in 10 portable classrooms at Whittier Elementary School, where the kids have to walk outside and then into the main school just to use the bathroom.

Dennis: Plus, we’ll see a new addition to Timberline High School with new science labs and special ed rooms, and we’ll have an addition to our professional technical center, allowing us to offer HVAC, plumbing and electrical programs—some of the first in the state. That should be open in July of next year.

I’m presuming you have great things to say about all your teachers, but how do you identify someone with those extraordinary skills not found on any resume?

Dennis: It’s judgment—having that innate ability to see beyond whatever crisis may be in front of them at any time. You have a kid that’s going crazy in the classroom [and] and, yes, you have to address the behavior, but it’s a lot harder to get down into the weeds and perhaps learn that the kid’s dad just went to prison. It’s not easy.

Coberly: For a first-year teacher, no matter what preparation you may have, you don’t know how tough that job is until you get in there.

Teachers are my heroes.

PAGE BREAK $GYLFH IRU WKRVH RQ WKH YHUJH GOSSIP SHMOSSIP DEAR MINERVA, Why is this world full of so many cruel people? People always say that people are too sensitive now and that the world has gone soft. But my observation is the exact opposite. It seems like everyone has gotten meaner. I hear so much gossip and I witness so many attempts to cut people down and ruin their lives. Why does this still happen? Haven’t we evolved? How do you deal with gossip and insults?

Sincerely, Reluctant Misanthrope

DEAR RELUCTANT, Honey, you aren’t wrong in your observations. There are many people who don’t feel good about themselves and, unfortunately, they grasp for anything to make themselves feel superior to others.

Anything, that is, except bettering themselves. Gossip and cruelty are havens for the bored and damaged. With social media and the anonymity of screen names and keyboards, people don’t feel pressured to behave themselves; It’s a sort of electronic Coliseum where hurting people is done for sport. My philosophy is to call people out on it, if need be, and then move on. My senior quote comes to mind for this kind of thing. After being the subject of hatred, innuendo, and gossip for much of my childhood, Oscar Wilde put it best when he said, “There is only one thing worse in life than being talked about and that is not being talked about.” If people are gossiping, you are on their mind. Don’t let their immaturity dim your light—unicorns pay no mind to the opinions of jackasses.

GERALD ARRINGTON’S TABLEWARE ART Art certainly doesn’t have to serve a purpose—but it can be nice when it does.

Idaho native Gerald Arrington’s stoneware ceramic sculptures live right in the sweet spot where aesthetics and utility meet.

At first glance, his pieces appear to be beautiful still-life collections of river rocks and branches. Look closer to discover a stone is actually a salt shaker; a driftwood stick is the porcelain handle of a teapot.

Each piece is hand crafted on a potter’s wheel by Arrington, who developed his technique for creating realistic rock $78-$600, arringtondesign.com shapes and textures over years of study in the Wood River Valley, where he was inspired to combine his artistic talents with a love of geology.

Although the pieces can be pricey, each is beautiful, useful and entirely unique.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): “To disobey in order to take action is the byword of all creative spirits,” said philosopher Gaston Bachelard.

This mischievous advice is perfect for your use right now, Aries. I believe you’ll thrive through the practice of ingenious rebellion— never in service to your pride but always to feed your soul’s lust for deeper, wilder life. Here’s more from Bachelard: “Autonomy comes through many small disobediences, at once clever, well thought-out and patiently pursued, so subtle at times as to avoid punishment entirely.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Congratulations! I expect during the next three weeks, you will be immune to what psychoanalyst Joan Chodorow calls “the void of sadness, the abyss of fear, the chaos of anger, and the alienation of contempt and shame.” I realize what I just said might sound like an exaggeration. Aren’t all of us subject to regular encounters with those states? How could you possibly go so long without brushing up against them? I stand by my prediction and push even further.

For at least the next three weeks, I suspect you will also be available for an inordinate amount of what Chodorow calls “the light of focused insight” and “the playful, blissful, all-embracing experience of joy.”

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The coming days would an excellent time to celebrate (even brag about) the amusing idiosyncrasies and endearing quirks that make you lovable. To get you inspired, read this testimony from my triple Gemini friend Alyssa: “I have beauty marks that form the constellation Pegasus on my belly. I own my own ant farm. I’m a champion laugher.

I teach sign language to squirrels.

Late at night when I’m horny and overtired, I may channel the spirit of a lion goddess named Sekhmet.

I can whistle the national anthems of eight different countries. I collect spoons from the future. I can play the piano with my nose and my toes. I have forever banished the green-eyed monster to my closet.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “If you love someone, set them free,” said New Age author Richard Bach. “If they come back, they’re yours; if they don’t, they never were.” By using my well-educated intellect to transmute this hippydippy thought into practical advice, I came up with a wise strategy for you to consider as you re-evaluate your relationships with allies. Try this: Temporarily suspend any compulsion you might have to change or fix these people; do your best to like them and even love them exactly as they are. Ironically, granting them this freedom to be themselves may motivate them to modify, or at least tone down, the very behavior in themselves you’re semi-allergic to.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your education may take unusual forms during the coming weeks. For example, you could receive crunchy lessons from velvety sources, or tender instructions from exacting challenges. Your curiosity might expand to enormous proportions in the face of a noble and elegant tease. Chances are good you’ll find a new teacher in an unlikely setting, or be prodded and tricked into asking crucial questions you’ve been neglecting to ask.

Even if you haven’t been particularly streetsmart up until now, Cancerian, I bet your ability to learn from uncategorizable experiences will blossom.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In 1892, workers began building the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York, but as of August 2017, it is still under construction.

Renovation has been and continues to be extensive. At one point in its history, designers even changed its architectural style from NeoByzantine and Neo-Romanesque to Gothic Revival. I hope this serves as a pep talk in the coming weeks, which will be an excellent time to evaluate your own progress, Virgo.

As you keep toiling away in behalf of your dreams, there’s no rush. In fact, my sense is you’re proceeding at precisely the right rate.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In accordance with the astrological omens, I hereby declare the next two weeks to be your own personal Amnesty Holiday. To celebrate, ask for and dole out forgiveness. Purge and flush away any non-essential guilt and remorse festering inside you. If there truly are hurtful sins you still haven’t atoned for, make a grand effort to atone for them—with gifts and heartfelt messages if necessary. At the same time, I urge you to identify accusations others have wrongly projected onto you and that you have carried around as a burden even though they are not accurate or fair. Expunge them.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): How many countries has the United States bombed since the end of World War II? Twenty-five, to be exact, but if America’s intention has been to prod these nations into forming more free and egalitarian governments, the efforts have been mostly fruitless. Few of the attacked nations have become substantially more democratic. I suggest you regard this as a valuable lesson to apply to your own life in the coming weeks, Scorpio.

Metaphorical bombing campaigns wouldn’t accomplish even 10 percent of your goals, and would also be expensive in more ways than one. So I recommend using the “killing with kindness” approach.

Be wily and generous. Cloak your coaxing in compassion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You know about the Ten Commandments, a code of ethics and behavior that’s central to Christianity and Judaism. You may not be familiar with my Ten Suggestions, which begin with: “Thou shalt not bore God,” and, “Thou shalt not bore thyself.” Then there are the Ten American Indian Commandments proposed by the Bird Clan of East Central Alabama.

They include: “Give assistance and kindness whenever needed,” and, “Look after the well-being of your mind and body.” I bring these to your attention, Sagittarius, because now is an excellent time to formally formulate and declare your own covenant with life. What are the essential principles that guide you to the highest good?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 43 cartoon stories, the coyote named Wile E. Coyote has tried to kill and devour the swift-running flightless bird known as the Road Runner. Every single time, Wile E. has failed to achieve his goal. It’s apparent to astute observers that his lack of success is partly due to the fact that he doesn’t rely on his natural predatory instincts.

Instead, he concocts elaborate, overly complicated schemes. In one episode, he camouflages himself as a cactus, buys artificial lightning bolts and tries to shoot himself from a bow as if he were an arrow. All these plans end badly. The moral of the story, as far as you’re concerned: To reach your next goal, trust your instincts.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Here’s a definition of “fantasizing” as articulated by writer Jon Carroll.

It’s “a sort of ‘in-brain’ television, where individuals create their own ‘shows’—imaginary narratives that may or may not include real people.” As you Capricorns enter the High Fantasy Season, you might enjoy this amusing way of describing the activity that you should cultivate and intensify. Would you consider cutting back on your consumption of movies and TV shows?

That might inspire you to devote more time and energy to watching the stories you can generate in your mind’s eye.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You temporarily have cosmic permission to loiter and goof off and shirk your duties. To be a lazy bum and meander aimlessly and avoid tough decisions. To sing off-key and draw stick figures and write bad poems. To run slowly and flirt awkwardly and dress like a slob. Take advantage of this opportunity, because it’s only available for a limited time. It’s equivalent to pushing the reset button. It’s meant to re-establish your default settings—but don’t worry about that now. Simply enjoy the break in the action.
