Your Health Idaho enrollment begins Wednesday, Nov. 1 and runs through Friday, Dec. 15.

YOUR HEALTH IDAHO PREPARES FOR NEW ENROLLMENT PERIOD: ‘BUSINESS AS USUAL’ The open enrollment period for Idahoans to secure health insurance via Your Health Idaho, the online exchange, begins November 1 and ends December 15—coverage would start January 2018. Despite national headlines on the fate of the Affordable Care Act, it will be “business as usual” in the Gem State health insurance marketplace according to Pat Kelly, executive director of Your Health Idaho.

Kelly said the 2017 enrollment period is about half as long as it was in 2016; and he is urging Idahoans to begin the enrollment process immediately by browsing the healthcare plan options on yourhealthidaho.org.

Though health insurance rates will be higher for most Idahoans in 2018, many customers will benefit from a cost offset.

“The beauty of these tax credits is that I think a lot of people will be surprised at how affordable insurance may be,” said Kelly. “For example, a 35-year-old single person in Idaho making $25,000 per year will only see a dollar change in their net premium.”

The bad news is Idahoans who fail to sign up for 2018 coverage via an employer or Your Health Idaho, will face penalties up to $700 per person and $2000 for a family of four.

During last year’s enrollment period, 105,977 Idahoans signed up for 2017 healthcare coverage, making Idaho once again one of the national leaders in per-capita enrollments.

While the U.S. Congress has failed to pass multiple attempts to repeal the ACA, otherwise known as Obamacare, Kelly acknowledges changes are coming. For example, the Trump Administration has already cut funding for ads promoting enrollment sign-ups. However, since Idaho has its own state-based healthcare marketplace, those changes shouldn’t affect Your Health Idaho.

“Part of why Your Health Idaho has been so successful is local control. Any changes at the federal level for funding have zero impact on Idaho,” said Kelly. “We do keep an eye on things, and we’ve always been able to adjust to changes… In the end, we are here to serve the citizens of Idaho and [make] sure they have the tools and resources to make an informed decision when it comes to health insurance.”

Volunteers checked oxygen, phosphorous and pH levels of the Boise River during Sept. 30 tests.

PRESCRIPTION FOR A HEALTHIER BOISE RIVER Environmental advocates say if participation in the 2018 annual WaterShed Watch is any indication, the level of citizen interest in Boise River water quality is higher than ever: More than 250 volunteers joined scientists and trainers Sept. 30 for the tenth annual event.

Water quality tests were performed at 14 different points along the Boise River from Barber Park to Parma. Teams checked for aquatic native and non-native species, monitored temperature and turbidity and tested dissolved oxygen, E. coli, phosphorous and pH levels. Although final results won’t be available for a month, early indicators suggest good news.

“WaterShed Watch participation doubled in size from the last few years we held the event,” said Cindy Busche, environmental education coordinator at the Boise Watershed Environmental Education Center.

“People are interested in the water quality of our watershed, particularly due to events this past year such as flooding … and water quality issues in Esther Simplot Park.”

Busche said stormwater runoff is one of the biggest factors in water quality, which means everyone has a stake in what ends up in the river, and limiting pollutants is as critical as ever in maintaining a healthy river, because “all of our stormwater drains directly to the Boise River with no treatment.”

She believes citizen engagement is the best way to maintain water quality and the health of river ecosystems.

“We’re all connected to the river, no matter where you live in the valley. People are reliant on it for drinking water, recreation, agriculture and other uses we don’t think about as often, like hydroelectric power, and our fish and wildlife industry,” she said.

Not only did volunteer participation spike for the 2018 WaterShed Watch, but there was also a significant increase in youth involvement.

“We had a lot of children participate, and I could see an enthusiasm that I hope will continue through their lives,” said Busche.

NEWS NEWEST BOISE COVERUP IS A GOOD THING

A dozen manhole covers in the first Boise LIV District showcase work by local artists HARRISON BERRY Although the corner of Fifth and Broad streets is still a dusty mess of road work and apartment construction, several creative elements of the first Boise LIV District are coming into focus.

On Sept. 27, the Boise City Department of Arts and History offered a sneak peek of new decorative steel manhole covers designed by three local artists.

In all, 12 covers designed by Rick Friesen, Kirsten Furlong and Charles Haman—four by each artist—now guard fiber optic cable junctions along Broad Street between Second Street and Capitol Boulevard. The artists each received $2,500 for their designs.

Birds and tight line work adorn Furlong’s cover. The combination of the natural world and geometric designs have long been features of her work, and her themes jibe with city efforts to brand itself as a rational planner associated with the preservation of the Boise River and Foothills.

Haman’s piece features a large gear—a frequent motif in his work—surrounded by a foot, a drop of water and a leaf, symbolizing the natural attributes of the city.

Friesen chose historical subject matter,

representing the 19th century homes once common in the Central Addition neighborhood.

His design invokes painful memories: In 2014 and 2015, many of those homes were either demolished or moved to new locations across the city. In late 2015, crews rolled away the Wood House in a midnight operation to the corner of 15th and Jefferson streets. The Stewart House, built in 1893 for Idaho Supreme Court Justice George Stewart, was torn down approximately a month later. The Fowler apartment building on the corner of Fifth and Broad streets draws its name from one of the houses removed to make way for the development.

BCDAH selected the works that would be used on the manhole covers after inviting 15 artists to submit their ideas. Five artists were chosen by a panel to create design concepts and, after a public comment period, designs by Haman, Friesen and Furlong were selected.

Crews began digging the cable junctions Sept. 28, and the covers, fabricated by Northwest Recreation Oregon (nwrecreation.com), were installed in the following days. It wasn’t until Oct. 11, however, that BCDAH unveiled them at a ceremony attended by Boise Mayor Dave Bieter and members of the Capital City Development Corporation.

and treat their stormwater. That usually means the loss of buildable space.”

5 Hubble pointed to the rooftop of The Fowler.

“What they did here is install pipes coming down from their roof which will send rainfall down to the ground and directly into those Silva Cells all around the new trees which were just

planted,” said Hubble. “That means all of their runoff goes back into the ground other than seeing something catastrophic or some type of system failure [at the sewers].”

Falconer and Hubble are excited to celebrate the redesigned district during the Thursday, Oct. 12 block party, which will fill Broad Street with food trucks, vendors, live music and speeches

from Mayor Bieter and other officials—but they’re both more interested in the rebirth of a livable space.

“I think it’s hard to imagine, but I’m pretty sure it will transform quickly and, soon enough, it will be hard to remember what it was,” said Falconer, flashing a smile at Hubble. “Are we ready?

We’re more than ready.”

This manhole cover, designed by artist Rick Friesen, features historic homes formerly in the Central Addition LIV District.

Derby of the dead.

INAUGURAL PINEWOOD COFFIN DERBY Remember when little boy scouts or girl scouts spent days (or wefis) painstakingly carving out a racecar for the Pinewood Derby, triumphant when it crossed the finish line? Well, Idaho Horror Film Festival is inviting adults to recapture a bit of that old-timey magic— with a dark twist. Instead of carving cars out of blocks of wood, the horror movie-loving folks at IHFF want you to carve a coffin on wheels for the inaugural Proof-Rogue Pinewood Coffin Derby. Free kits are available at Prefunk or Proof Eyewear, so get cutting, and then take your creative casket to Prefunk on Oct. 12, and race for spooktacular prizes. There’s no entry fee, and coffin-rollers can get as wacky as they like with decoration, which means feel free to go crazy with tiny skeletons, squishy fake eyeballs and vials of dollar store “blood.”

Registration: 5:30 p.m., race: 6 p.m., FREE. Prefunk Boise, 1100 W. Front St., 208-331-3865, idahohorrorfilmfestival.org.

The eyes may be the windows to the soul, but for artists there is an altogether bigger and (usually) messier gateway: the studio.

Peering into an artist’s work space can tell the curious a lot about creative inspiration and process, and art lovers will have the opportunity to do just that when 60 local artists open their studio doors to the public. Dubbed Boise Open Studios by BOSCO, the art-centric nonprofit that runs it, the event is an attempt to bridge the gap between local artists and the people who applaud what they do. To join the fun, use the map of participating studios in this wefi’s issue to find your way as to meet the artists, buy artwork and generally cozy up to creativity.

Oct. 13-15, visiting hours vary by artist, FREE. Locations vary; find a map at Boise Wefily, Art Source Gallery, Boise Art Museum or online at boiseopenstudios.com.

HIGHLY SUSPECT, OCT. 13, KNITTING FACTORY For years after its formation, Massachusetts-based rock trio Highly Suspect was an unknown quantity, thrashing out covers in local bars. That all changed in 2015, when the band released its debut full-length studio album, Mister Asylum (300 Entertainment), scored Top 10 hits “Bloodfeather” and “Lydia,” earned a couple of Grammy nominations, began touring internationally and became a music festival favorite. Following the release of its second album, The Boy Who Died Wolf (300 Entertainment, 2016), a positive core layered in raucous grunge riffs, HS will journey to Boise for a night of pre-Halloween madness.

With a sound described as “yowling somewhere between the metronomic robot metal of Queens of the Stone Age, the bluesy wallop of Jack White and the feedback-shrifiing noise-pop of In Utero-era Nirvana,” think of HS as a boy band wrapped with barbed-wire.

THE BLOW, OCT. 14, NEUROLUX What happens when you try to make acoustic music electronically? It may sound oxymoronic, but finding out is precisely the goal of quirky pop duo The Blow. The group has a tangled history, and what began as the pioneering solo project “Get the Hell Out of the Way of the Volcano” has morphed into a two-woman indiepop experience blending monologue and music—and its unique performance style will be on display Saturday, Oct. 14, in Boise.

The tour was propelled by Brand New Abyss (self-released, 2017), the group’s newest album, which is filled with calculated “electroacoustic punk energy” that attempts to capture simple sound in a complex way. Titles like “Dark Cold Magic” and “Peaceful Easy Feeling” preview listeners on how The Blow will manipulate sound waves track to track, creating wind chimes and bass drums pulsing beneath ethereal vocals. If ever a group embodied the phrase “awesome, trailblazing oddness,” this is it.

ARTS & CULTURE Boise art collective The True Story Project is headed for Broadway

PATRICK SWEENE Y

NO LIE AMY ATKINS

Suffering loves a vacuum, because isolation is an ideal breeding ground for pain. A creative outlet can be a release but, maybe just as importantly, what is created can provide a sense of solidarity.

Feeling like someone really understands what you’re going through can be huge, and the combination of opening themselves up and helping others is what drives writer-storyteller Eric Valentine and musician Laio of local art collective The True Story Project. It has taken them from being two people dealing with pain individually to becoming a collective of artists who have created Eric Valentine (left), Laio (center) and actress Annie Bulow are taking their true stories to Broadway. an innovative way to share their stories on a wide range of stages, which will include the Jerry Orbach Theater in New York on Tuesday, Oct. 31, which they rented for a one-night performance of ment with a loud clap, as though suggesting TSP and Valentine’s already profound stories of addiction, abuse, mental illness, death, spirituality isn’t truly a collaboration would be met with a their two-act play, The Mammal Problem, which and more. debuted at The Egyptian Theatre earlier this year. firm, “Yes it is,” from Laio. “We collaborate on Some of the songs and stories Laio and ValenWhen asked what True Story Project is, Valen- stage,” said Valentine, who explained that Laio tine perform were written weeks before Laio and performs a song, then he tells a story, then she tine offered a simple description, but one he said Valentine started putting a performance together, performs again, etc. took more than four years to come up with. while others are 20 years old.

NOISE/NEWS SEATTLE-BASED WEEP WAVE CRUISES THE WEST COAST WITH HIGH-ENERGY SHOW AND NEW RELEASE When Dylan Fuentes, frontman for Seattle, Washington-based synthy garage rock band Weep Wave, reached out, his pitch was simple. He explained the band was heading out on a West Coast tour followng a new release and would play The Olympic in Boise on Saturday, Oct. 14 [opening for The Mercury Tree]. Fuentes included links to the Weep Wave press kit and social media sites—basic pitch stuff—but he also added a quote from renowned Seattle radio station/nonprofit arts organization KEXP, which suggested the band should win an award for “biggest hustle in the scene” for having played nearly every venue in town and “massively” growing its social media following.

“While they might be consummate professionals with their hustle, their live shows are raw, energetic, fun and a little goofy,” it read.

The high praise is compelling, particularly because Weep Wave has only been together since 2016, when the 20-something Fuentes moved to Seattle from Orange County, California.

west would better foster the indie sound he wanted to create. It was a risky move, but it paid off so quickly it would be hard to argue fate.

“I put an ad on Craigslist when I moved to Seattle,” Fuentes said. “I found Dylan [Trujillo] the bass player the next day.” The two Dylans connected instantly but Fuentes knew something was missing. With the addition of Colton Harold on the synthesizer and new drummer Cameron Smith, Weep Wave was whole—and insanely good.

The foursome is touring following Amassing a Mess, its new self-released, limited-run five-song EP, which is available on cassette and contains an exclusive ambient B-side.

BEERGUZZLER ‘TIS THE SAISON Originating in Europe, farmhouse ales (aka saisons) were brewed in the winter to be consumed by seasonal farm workers from first planting to harvest. As the population shifted from agrarian to urban, farmhouse ales lost favor, and the style was almost forgotten.

Modern craft brewers have resurrected it and while styles vary, they still harken back to a simpler time.

GRAND TETON FARMHOUSE ALE, $7.49-$8.99 In the glass, this ale is a bright amber with a pillowy lingering head. Sour fruit aromas and a bit of funk dominate, along with spice and lemon zest. There’s a nice tang on the palate, which is filled with bright citrus fruit and creamy malt. It finishes dry and despite the 11.8 percent alcohol, there’s no discernible heat. This is a delicious effort from the eastern Idaho brewery.

SAISON DUPONT VIEILLE BELGIAN FARMHOUSE ALE, $5.99-$6.99 Dupont is something of a benchmark for the style and a particular favorite of mine. A persistent three-finger head tops this hazy straw ale, and it opens with tart aromas of apple, quince and pear backed by herb, spice and white pepper. Beautifully balanced, sweet fruit plays against mildly sour citrus with a hint of clove coloring the finish. It’s just too easy to drink.

ST. FEUILLIEN SAISON BELGIAN FARMHOUSE ALE, $2.99-$3.49 A light, cloudy, golden pour is topped by a porous head that leaves little lacing. There’s a hint of cinnamon and clove on the nose, along with tangerine and a touch of banana.

Those fruits come through on the palate, along with a bit of hop bitterness, toasted nuts and smoky malt. It finishes with crisp sour citrus. The St. Feuillien is a good value.

more sex. This superhero origin tale could easily be construed as a companion piece to the 2017 box-office smash Wonder Woman, but leave any fanboy expectations at home. Professor Marston is William Moulton Marston, the American psychologist who created Wonder Woman for DC Comics under the name Charles Moulton.

He was also instrumental in the invention of the polygraph machine. (Ever wonder where the idea for Wonder Woman’s golden lasso of truth came from?) Marston’s double life is the least provocation of this movie, though. It turns out Marston, (Beauty and the Beast’s Luke Evans), was inspired by his brilliant wife Elizabeth (Rebecca Hall) and their mutual lover Olive (Bella Heathcote), two self-empowered women who defied social conventions. Professor Marston is smart and sexy, and I highly recommend it for discerning adults, but I think distributors are mistaken in pushing this out to multi-screen, general audience cinemas. If there was ever such a thing as an “art house” film, Professor Marston is it. My sense is that when it rolls into the multiplex, Professor Marston will be steamrolled by Blade Runner, Kingsmen and that killer clown in the sewer.

SCREEN EXTRA IDAHO HORROR FILM FEST 2017 SHOULD BE A SCREAMING SUCCESS There’s nothing scary about a celebration of women in film, the theme for the Idaho Horror Film Festival.

“Horror is an interesting genre, because women are usually strong protagonists,” said IHFF Director Molly Deckart. “It’s really the only genre where women have played the 18 | OCTOBER 11–17, 2017 | BOISEweekly

survivor roles.”

Adrienne King, who spent plenty of time trying to survive machetewielding Jason in 1980s films Friday the 13th and Friday the 13th Part 2, will be honored during the fest with the inaugural IHFF Trailblazer Award for her advocacy of women in film.

King will participate in a Q&A following a screening of the original Friday the 13th at The Egyptian Theater,

appropriately on Friday, Oct. 13. King will also participate in a Women in Film panel discussion at the Amsterdam Lounge on Saturday, Oct. 14.

There is plenty of horror on the menu during the three day film fest, but Deckart said IHFF is really about growing Idaho’s film industry.

“The one thing we found is that emerging filmmakers almost always make a horror film,” she said. “Each

year the number of films submitted from Idaho grows, and there’s no fee for entry for Idaho filmmakers. We really like supporting our community and our own creators here.”

CITIZEN HEATHER BOOTH

On consumer protection and building movements in the digital age HARRISON BERRY Heather Booth is the field director for Americans for Tax Fairness, a group of “425 national, state and local endorsing organizations united in support of a fair tax system.” She got her start in the 1960s working on campaigns like Freedom Summer, in which she helped African-Americans in Mississippi register to vote; the Chicago Women’s Liberation Union and the Jane Collective, an early abortion counseling service.

More recently, Booth worked alongside Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts) to establish and safeguard the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and helped ease the passage of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, a sweeping package of financial regulations trailing the Great Recession. Booth will be in Boise for a screening of the documentary Heather Booth: Changing the World at 7 p.m.

Thursday, Oct. 19. Tickets are $10, and a Q&A with Booth will follow the film.

How do we make this a more just and caring society?

We have to take back our “small-d” democracy.

We give people confidence so they can speak up about how they’re impacted by policies that are lowering wages. At the floor, we need at least $15 an hour so people are brought up out of poverty.

We need protections for healthcare. We need education people can afford.

How has your view of organizing changed over the years?

I was in Mississippi in 1964, part of the Southern Project where northerners were recruited to shine a spotlight on the conditions of poor black people and how they were terrorized. It gained notoriety because three young men were killed at the hands of the Klan, but what people may not know is ... they found the bodies of eight other black men whose hands had been bound or feet chopped off. Because people organized, within a year there was a voting rights act. There are some ways organizing has changed a lot: There’s social media. The news cycle goes so much faster, and that has also changed organizing.

How do you persuade people to join a movement who may share its goals not its rhetoric or ideals?

If there’s a difference of ideals, of what you’re BOISE WEEKLY.COM

fighting for, there probably won’t be a meeting of the ways, but there are people who can gather together across differences. There was a fight I was in in Chicago where there was a highway about to go through a black community and a white community [that] would have wiped out 30,000 homes. People who were on different sides of issues decided to come together. They won on the highway fight, and they transformed the leadership in those communities.

Is persuasion as effective today?

There is a level of hate-filled rhetoric and conflict I think is the most extreme in my lifetime.

Organizing identifies people who want to solve problems.

What are the sources of the polarization you’ve identified?

In the early 1970s, there really was a war on the middle class by many of the most powerful and entrenched institutions. Often, we live in a bubble of only living in neighborhoods of like minds, reading articles of like minds.

What are the promises and pitfalls of using social media to organize people?

All forms of power raise the question of who controls the power and what is it used for. Social media has an immediacy. We have limitations, though, when we only listen to the short snip, the tweet, as opposed to getting a more in-depth story. The limitations are when you’re only listening to stories of people who have the same point of view.

How do you rally ordinary people around a complicated topic like consumer financial protection?

Sometimes issues where a lot of power is at stake are made to sound very complicated to intimidate people. In fact, people can understand it. How [Sen. Elizabeth Warren] describes it in the film, mortgages were being sold like hand grenades with the pin pulled out. People were living in those houses but could no longer afford the exploding loans they’d been given.

A Consumer Financial Protection Bureau says we can make these contracts simple. There actually is a right and a wrong. There’s a good and a bad.
