EDITOR’S NOTE THE ENVELOPE, PLEASE In Boise, we have four distinct seasons: spring, summer, fall and winter. In Hollywood, there are only two: award season and the rest of the year. Unless you haven’t looked at a TV/computer/tablet/phone screen lately, you know that we’re waist deep in Oscar ooze. A great slate of fine films came out in 2017, and the nominees for Best Picture—Call Me by Your Name, Darkest Hour, Dunkirk, Get Out, Lady Bird, Phantom Thread, The Post, The Shape of Water and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri—are all worthy contenders. While it’s always interesting to guess which filmmakers might take home trophies, we think it’s a helluva lot more fun to award prizes to some of our Oscarsavvy readers.

Our 2018 Red Carpet Movie Awards contest is officially underway, and it couldn’t be simpler: Register at redcarpetballot.boiseweekly.com or text “boiseweekly” to 77948 and have a ballot sent to your phone. Make your picks, share them with friends, and that’s it. You don’t even have to choose the ultimate Oscar winners, just give it your best guess. We’ll take all of the Red Carpet Movie Award ballots, no matter who wins the Oscars, and randomly draw the contest winners.

We are giving away two prizes this year, and they are amazing: One is a pair of all-access passes to the Sun Valley Film Festival, with priority admission to unlimited films and exclusive parties ($1,000 value); the other is an unlimited movie pass to the Flicks for a full year ($250 value). Much thanks to the good folks at the SVFF and The Flicks for being our friends and contest sponsors.

Voting is open until 5 p.m., Saturday, March 3. The Oscars will be announced Sunday, March 4, and we’ll choose our Red Carpet Movie Award contest winners on Monday, March 5.

Good luck!

MEET THE CLIMATE JUSTICE LEAGUE

NEWS

SB 1243 will be debated by the full Idaho Senate in the coming weeks.

‘ABORTION-REVERSAL’ BILL SURFACES AT IDAHO LEGISLATURE

Idaho students will continue to support revised standards GEORGE PRENTICE The high school students admonished for using the words “climate change” during a House Education Committee hearing on science standards said they felt “disrespected.” Don’t think for a moment, however, that they’re deterred.

“It’s not about us. We’re fortunate to go to school in Boise. This is about students from across Idaho,” said 17-year-old Emily Herr, a senior at Timberline High School. “There are students in other parts of the state where teachers are afraid to teach climate change because of political pushback in their community.”

Throughout the hearing on Feb. 2 and 3 at the Idaho Statehouse, committee Chairwoman Rep. Julie VanOrden (R-Pingree) chastised anyone who dared use the phrase “climate change.”

“When she cut me off, I was talking about how climate change and biodiversity had been included in the new standards. So, I was taken aback when I was interrupted,” said 17-year-old Therese Etoka, who is from the Democratic Republic of Congo and is a senior at Boise High School. “But I had to keep pushing on something I’m about very passionate about: our education.

When I returned to school, a lot of my fellow students asked, ‘How did it go?’ I told them what had happened, and I made a point of returning to the hearing the next day, just to show the committee I wasn’t afraid. They were not going to take away something that I really care about.”

Herr said during her testimony, she was admonished for saying “climate change” but oddly enough, not for using a related term.

“That was kind of weird,” Herr said. “I was talking about how biodiversity and climate change were both referenced in the standards. She didn’t seem to care when I said ‘biodiversity.’”

Herr, Etoka and students from other Idaho schools are members of a group called the Climate Justice League, in association with the Idaho Chapter of the Sierra Club.

“We’ve talked to students at a number of junior and senior high schools about this. Plus, we’ve sent out mass emails, asking them to consider signing a petition supporting the proposed B OI S E WEEKLY.C O M

standards,” said 18-year-old Cassie Kenlyn, a senior at Timberline High School. “The last time we checked, we had more than 1,100 signatures.

We’ve received support from across the Treasure Valley.”

Supporters include 17-year-old Adam Thompson, a senior at Capitol High School and another member of the Climate Justice League.

“I’ve grown up here in Boise with a deep appreciation for the outdoors. When I learned that some legislators wanted to politicize our education, well…it really disgusts me,” said Thompson.

“Understanding climate change is much more than just science. In our American Government class, we talk about how climate change impacts so many of our current events.”

Chris Taylor, a 20-year Idaho educator, served on the State Department of Education Science Standards Committee that helped craft the proposed revisions put before the House Education Committee. Taylor taught science at six schools and served as a principal at a Boise elementary school before becoming the Boise School District science and social studies supervisor.

“I’m proud to say that climate change is embedded in the curriculum across the Boise School District,” said Taylor. “But I truly worry about students graduating from Idaho schools without a full understanding of science, including climate change, before they go to college.”

Taylor said his heart sank when the majority of the House Education Committee voted Feb. 7 to censor a section of the proposed standards that referred to how fourth graders would learn about the impact of fossil fuels on the environment.

“It’s a critical element. They all are. Those proposed standards were written by Idaho teachers and scientists for all Idaho students,” said Taylor.

“We heard from citizens all across Idaho.”

The House Education Committee ultimately voted 12-4 to omit section ESS3-4-1 and any supporting content on fossil fuels from the proposed standards. All 12 votes to censor the standards came from Republicans. Only GOP Rep. Pat McDonald (R-Boise) voted with three democrats to support the standards as written.

“At what point do we trust our teachers?” asked Rep. Sally Toone (D-Gooding), a 37-year educator before being elected to the Idaho House.

“They spent thousands of hours on this.”

But Rep. Barbara Ehardt (R-Idaho Falls) said she got a different story from Idaho educators.

“I heard feedback from teachers, saying, ‘Trust us, and don’t put the supporting content in there,’” said Ehardt.

The decision to scrub the standards triggered national headlines: The New York Times and The Washington Post reported on it. The Times quoted the deputy director of the National Center for Science Education, who called the vote, “a continuation of the assault” on the inclusion of climate change in science standards.

Taylor said there’s room for hope, though.

“I don’t think a lot of people know there’s still a chance to salvage the proposed standards,” he said. “We’re going to take this up with the Idaho Senate Education Committee, which has the option to undo the House’s decision. I’ve talked to a number of senators already, and they’re passionate about doing the right thing.”

When the Senate Education Committee take up the proposal, it’s a fair bet some Idaho students will return to testify.

“I’m optimistic. I think it’s fair to say that we all are,” said Etoka. “We have to be. This is too important.”

The next abortion fight in Idaho is expected to hit the floor of the state senate in the coming days. The debate swirls around Senate Bill 1243, which would require health care providers to tell patients how they might access a so-called “abortion-reversing” medication—a procedure that some health care providers say has no basis in science. In addition, the bill would require the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare to publish printed material regarding abortion-reversing medication.

The bill co-sponsor, Sen. Lori Den Hartog (R-Meridian) told the Senate State Affairs Committee, “Women deserve this access.

They shouldn’t be stopped from knowing their options should they change their mind.”

Planned Parenthood calls Den Hartog’s proposal “reckless,” adding that that the bill was “a clear indication that legislators need to leave the practice of medicine to medical professionals.”

“Reversing a medication abortion is an unproven procedure,” said Mistie Tolman, Idaho Public Affairs Manager at Planned Parenthood Votes Northwest and Hawaii. “Everybody deserves accurate information and comprehensive medical care and this bill does the exact opposite.”

Planned Parenthood said the measure is already opposed by the American Medical Association and the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

But Den Hartog said abortion pill reversal, which gives a woman extra doses of progesterone, can help keep an unborn baby alive even if a chemical abortion has been administered. “[Planned Parenthood] has engaged in a years-long campaign to discredit this protocol,” said Den Hartog. “But it can’t change reality. Using this protocol, many women who changed their minds, have carried their babies to term.”

The State Senate Affairs Committee voted along party lines to advance the bill—all Republican members were in favor of the “abortion reversal” bill while the panel’s two Democrats opposed the measure. SB 1243 is expected to be considered by the full Senate by month’s end.

STAND-UP COMEDIAN BOB ZANY

Known by many from “The Zany Report” segment on the The Bob and Tom Show radio program, comedian Bob Zany has been honing his unique, engaging style from the first time he did standup in 1977 at age 16, through the hundreds of shows he does every year across the country. He can find the funny in anything, and he isn’t afraid of being edgy—but doesn’t cut too deep. He said one of the biggest sins in comedy used to be picking a political side. That’s not the case anymore, but there are still drawbacks.

“You run the risk of pissing off half the country,” Zany said.

“Trump can be made fun of—he’s the president, he should be—but when it’s just pure hate, that’s not funny. For me, I’m there to entertain. I always like to say, ‘I’m here to make you forget about your problems by creating new ones.’”

FAMILY OF WOMAN FILM FESTIVAL PRESENTS EXTRAORDINARY WOMEN, UNIVERSAL QUESTIONS

As always, the Family of Woman Film Festival (Tuesday, Feb. 27-Sunday, March 4) isn’t for the faint of heart. Founded in Sun Valley in 2008, the festival “brings attention to the United Nations Population Fund, which works in more than 150 countries to assure women and girls have access to reproductive health care, education and basic human rights.”

The theme of FWFF 2018 is “Women on the Margins,” and the films tell the stories of women all over the world, from female Kurdish soldiers fighting ISIS to a South Korean poet grappling with Alzheimer’s.

“If we help women in the world, it helps the economy, it helps the future; everything gets better,” said Peggy Elliott Goldwyn, festival founder and director. She said while the stories are set in exotic locales, they pose universal questions.

“Should I get married? Should I stop living in the past?

Should I leave home and strike out on my own? These are questions women the world over have asked for generations” said Goldwyn.

The FWFF 2018 films will be shown at venues across the Wood River Valley, including the the Sun Valley Opera House.

Two of the films will also be shown at Boise State University: Mama Colonel on Tuesday, Feb. 27, followed by a discussion with Dr. Henia Dakkak of UNFPA; and In Syria on Wednesday, Feb. 28, which will precede a talk by its director, Philippe Van Leeuw. The Boise State screenings are free and open to the public.

There are seven films in all, including In Syria, which won the Audience Award at the 2017 Berlin Film Festival; and Poetry, which brought Korean actress Jeong-hie Yun out of retirement to play Mija, a woman “in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease who finds strength and purpose when she enrolls in a poetry class.” Goldwyn hopes audiences find inspiration in the stories of these women.

“We like to have stories that leave you feeling uplifted in some way. To have you recognize that yes, there’s a problem, I recognize what the problem is but by God, this woman is doing something. I can do something too,” said Goldwyn.

Musician David Robert King brings it all home on Idaho BEN SCHULTZ

David Robert King remembers the moment he knew he’d lost his passion for music. It was November 2010, and the Idaho-born songwriter’s album Midnight in Gloryland (self-released, 2011) hadn’t come out yet.

“I was in San Francisco and playing a couple shows,” King said. “Thanksgiving Day, I was like, ‘I just want to go home.’ I think ...

I needed to rest, and I didn’t know that’s what my body was telling me. So I gave up instead.

I just kind of threw in the towel.”

Following the release of Midnight in Gloryland, King wouldn’t write or play music for almost four years. He moved to Boston with his wife Marita and enrolled in graduate school, but when they moved to Decatur, Georgia, so Marita could attend Emory University, King “got the itch a little bit again.”

Around that time, King met one of his musical idols: Nashville-based folk-country artist Mary Gauthier. His music impressed Gauthier so much, she asked him to be her lead guitarist.

“I saw she was doing a songwriting workshop in Nashville, where she was,” King remembered. “And I asked my wife, ‘Hey, can I spend a little money and [go] on up there?’ I went up there and connected with Mary and reached back to the muse and started writing seriously again—and I haven’t stopped.”

Due out Friday, Feb. 16, King’s new album Idaho (self-released, 2018) offers ample proof he has reconnected with his muse. The album features understated production by awardwinning producer Darryl Neudorf and guest vocals from The Blind Boys of Alabama, and its spare melodies, intimate lyrics and otherworldly vocals make it King’s most powerful work to date.

Mary Gauthier called Idaho “a stunning soundscape of whispered confessions and poignant observations.” On Jan. 22, Glide Magazine premiered the video for “Are You Thinking About Leaving?” from Idaho, praising King’s “ability to conjure beautifully haunting Gothic folk tunes.”

King will bring Idaho to Idaho, with an album release show at the Sapphire Room on Saturday, Feb. 17. Earlier in the day, King will B OI S E WEEKLY.C O M

Musician David Robert King is bringing his new album Idaho (Feb. 16, 2018) to Idaho.

host a songwriting workshop at the Riverside Hotel. (Attendees get a ticket to the show that evening).

Idaho might take some fans of Midnight in Gloryland and King’s 2009 self-released EP Take Me Home by surprise. Throughout the new album, King’s voice is so low and raspy, he almost sounds like a different person.

“Over those seven years, my voice changed,” he said. “I lost some of my range, and I picked up a little grit on the road.”

King’s new deeper voice—which has helped earn him comparisons to Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen—is well-suited to his new material, which explores themes of death, loss and guilt.

King’s writing has gotten deeper, too. Songs like the title track, “Goodnight Darlin’,” and “Lower Lights” have a directness and a level of specificity that surpass his earlier work.

“I think some of that is having the luxury and the honor to be next to Mary Gauthier while she’s singing her songs night after night,” he said. “I think that comes from her influence a lot. … Mary Gauthier says, ‘Get me an address and a smell [and] a street name.’ These sorts of things—I think there’s really something to that.”

King said Idaho is already resonating with listeners.

“Obviously, there are a lot of Idaho details in the record, but I’m out here in Georgia and people here latch onto details just like they do [in Idaho]. There’s something about detail that people can really sink their teeth into, and I find that’s what I like in songs.”

The raw immediacy of Idaho hearkens back to what drew King to music in the first place.

He grew up in Idaho Falls and as a boy, he was a huge fan of Nirvana. While King was playing in his rock band, Lystra’s Silence, his brother introduced him to the music of artists like the Stanley Brothers, the Carter Family, Robert Johnson and Mississippi John Hurt.

“All these old groups and artists, [they] connected with me immediately,” King said.

“It was so visceral. It felt [like] life and death.

It felt dangerous. Like this person was doing something dangerous, and we get to sort of benefit from it.”

Fans of King will get to benefit from more of his music soon. He already has ideas for a follow-up album.

“I feel like there’s still some stuff to work through from the Idaho days,” King said. “It might show up. Who knows? But I’m always writing and always trying to push it to ever truer and ever more personal [places]. So we’ll see.”

Massachusetts-based five-man band Killswitch Engage rode the “new wave” of American metal to its crest in the early 2000s, pumping out a series of successful albums, including seminal releases Alive or Just Breathing (Roadrunner Records, 2002) and The End of Heartache (Roadrunner Records, 2004). KSE also carved itself a niche at metal music festivals nationwide, and racked up a host of accolades including Grammy and Loudwire Music Awards nominations, and Boston Music and Metal Hammer Golden Gods Award wins. KSE is coming to town behind its latest album, Incarnate (Roadrunner Records, 2016), sharing the stage with veteran metal monolith Anthrax, a “fire-breathing, thrash-spitting, multi-headed beast,” that released For All Kings (Megaforce) in 2016—more than three decades after its 1984 debut, Fist Full of Metal (Megaforce).

Though local supergroup Mostly Muff spawned as a hair-metal cover band many years ago, social awareness has always been as much a part of the MM philosophy as its commitment to the era that gave us neon-colored Spandex and acid-washed denim.

Whether because band members are busy (they are), or it’s to maintain the Muff mystique (it does), MM doesn’t play live often.

When it performs, however, it’s like the snake-on-a-spring in a joke can of nuts: surprising, fun and bursting with energy. It’s also an opportunity for MM to support an important cause, and the Saturday, Feb. 17, MM show at Visual Arts Collective is no exception. Proceeds benefit the International Rescue Committee, which “provides opportunities for refugees, asylees, victims of human trafficking, survivors of torture and immigrants seeking citizenship to thrive in America.” In an email, MM member Gia Trotter wrote, “With the state of our nation we really feel it necessary to [help] IRC … and our local refugee families.” Plus, MM is covering just one classic band, hinted at in the new MM T-shirt design, so this promises to be a Mostly Magnanimous Mysterious Muff show you don’t want to miss.

Shave and a haircut—and billiards and beer and a hot shave and more—a few bits.

BARBER SHOP SERVES SERVICE MEMBERS VIA MEMBERSHIP

Cory Albertson, 32, and Stephen Thomas, 27, embody what every parent hopes adolescent sibling rivalries blossom into. Not only are the brothers friends, after their military careers, they embarked on a business venture together.

Craftsman Unlimited Haircuts (1308 S. Maple Grove Road, unlimitedhaircuts.com) offers monthly memberships for unlimited haircuts and beard trims. Plus, a range of membership tiers allow clients to cash in on head massages, steam towels and even free beer.

The number of haircuts the brothers received during their military careers gave them the idea to open a barbershop with a focus on affordability, convenience and quality—and the membership model is great for the client who gets a haircut every six weeks, as well as the one who wants a touch-up every day.

“Once I lose the velvet feel, I don’t like it,” said Thomas. “Most guys generally keep it pretty short, and after a week or two it doesn’t look 100 percent. In this day and age, why not look 100 percent?”

Albertson, a former UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter pilot, and Thomas, a former combat engineer, have cultivated a military tradition from the top down. In addition to Craftsman being veteran-owned, several veterans are employed as both barbers and stylists. Nearly everything in the shop has been installed or made by local veterans, from the lighting, shelving and ironwork to the employees’ toolbox workstations.

Craftsman also offers special membership perks to veterans and first responders, like half off beverages and apparel, and an invitation to tag the “Army wall.”

“Instead of putting a pin on a map of all the places you’ve been, it’s all the units ... and all the deployment locations,” said Thomas. Since Craftsman opened in August 2017, hundreds of veterans and first responders have left their mark with patches, deployment dates and personal tributes. And with more than 400 memberships in the books and new locations in Meridian, Eagle, Nampa and downtown Boise on the horizon, Albertson in confident in the success of Craftsman Unlimited.

“It’s not your normal shop,” he said. “With the price per cut and the environment, there’s nobody that can touch us on price ... I promise you that.”

Visiting art professors collaborate with Boise State students to turn trash into art LE X NEL SON With their traveling exhibition New Residue, art professors Michael McFalls and Jon Swindler have taken the idea of “one man’s trash” being “another man’s treasure” to a whole new level. For them, nearly everyone’s trash is treasure and, potentially, art.

Since 2014, McFalls and Swindler have traveled to universities across the country to collaborate with students on exhibits in which castoffs from various art departments, studios and even dumpsters are turned into abstract works of art. At Boise State University, the seventh edition of New Residue is on display through Thursday, March 16, in the Liberal Arts Building Visual Arts Center, and features pieces made from wood, plastic, kozo paper, neon, ceramic and more.

“It started from photographs,” explained McFalls, a sculptor and associate professor of art at Columbus State University in Columbus, Georgia. “I’d take a photograph, and I’d send it to [Swindler], he’d alter the photograph digitally—so we’re talking about a digital kind of phone tag you could say. He would alter it, then I would alter it, and it would go back and forth.”

McFalls was in Sweden at the time on a Fulbright Scholarship, while Swindler was in Georgia, where he teaches printmaking and book arts at the University of Georgia Lamar Dodd School of Art. Swindler eventually turned those photographs into hundreds of prints, which became the basis for the New Residue exhibitions.

“So when you look at this,” McFalls said, pointing to a giant wall hanging made from a painted drop cloth over a crazy quilt of colorful, taped-together shapes, “[it’s] the residue of those altered photographs.”

The photographs were just the beginning, though. Not only do McFalls and Swindler bring leftovers of their own work and previous New Residue exhibitions, they also source material from students and professors of whatever school they’re visiting. By necessity, the entire exhibition is assembled on site.

“We built these when we got here, with the

students,” McFalls said, gesturing to a couple of giant installations made from a jumble of painted wooden beams, plastic sheets and zip ties. “I ordered 150 two-by-twos and one-bytwos, and the first day of class—they kind of looked at me a bit crazy— [I said] ‘Just paint them,’ and they’re like, ‘Paint them which way?’ and I’m like, ‘Do what you want, it doesn’t matter. We’re just making marks.”

That laissez-faire attitude sums up New Residue in a nutshell. For McFalls, it’s all about reminding participating students that art can be fun and playful, as well as serious business—and that it can show up in unlikely places.

“I used to make these molds, cast these things. One day I was in the studio, and I realized that all the stuff that spilled out of the mold was much more interesting than the thing that I was making,” said McFalls. “That residue was turned into a whole body of work for me.”

The materials used in the Boise State iteration of New Residue came from a variety of unlikely sources: One art professor con-

tributed a giant plastic net she had made, a student volunteered a set of old tent poles, and McFalls even went digging through the garbage, coming out with a sculpture that looked like a sad attempt at a two-headed man. McFalls covered the sculpture with black flocking (velvet-like fibers sprayed onto paint) and attached a piece of neon from local shop Rocket Neon to its deformed head.

Caroline Earley, an assistant professor of ceramics at Boise State, considered a table displaying some of her rejected ceramics, which students had covered with black, white and red drips of paint.

“They’re all just experiments that have something wrong with them, or [that] didn’t work,” Earley said. “I have this cupboard in the ceramics studio, and I said [to McFalls], ‘Do you want this? Do you want this? Do you want this?’ and he just said, ‘Yep. Yep. Yep.’” Earley liked how McFalls, Swindler and the students transformed her work—so much so, she said she intends to buy it back if the other people who were eyeing it didn’t get to it first.

WINESIPPER REDISCOVERING MERLOT

2015 CHATEAU DES LANDES LUSSAC-SAINTEMILION CUVEE PRESTIGE, $39.00 This is a wine that starts out really good and just gets better and better. The floral aromas are highlighted by dark cherry fruit backed by anise, chocolate, vanilla, spice and just a kiss of oak.

This is a well-structured wine with a silky core of raspberry, currant and cassis lingering nicely on the long, velvety finish.

It’s pricey but definitely worth it.

2015 CROSSFORK CREEK MERLOT, $18.99 In this second label for renowned Sheridan Vineyard in the Yakima Valley, the pedigree shows. Blackberry liqueur aromas lead off, followed by touches of coconut and chocolate. There’s a nice hit of oaky vanilla on the palate, but it’s well integrated, blending with the creamy fruit flavors.

Just a hint of dill comes through on the finish.

2015 SEVEN HILLS MERLOT, $25 This is a rich but wellbalanced fruit bomb of a red—a quintessential Columbia Valley merlot.

There’s a light minerality to the spicy, ripe cherry and berry aromas. It’s definitely fruit-forward, with bright blueberry and dark stone fruit flavors, balanced by racy acidity.

Seven Hills has vineyards dating back to 1980, making it something of a pioneer in Eastern Washington.

The much-maligned merlot has made a comeback. In my opinion, it makes for the best red wines from Washington (with the exception of a few syrahs). Merlot has always been a lead grape for right-bank Bordeauxs like Saint-Emilion, and that includes cheval blanc, the ironic favorite of merlot detractor Miles Raymond (Sideways).

The panel’s top merlot picks bore out the quality of both regions, with two from Washington and one from France topping the list.

CRAZY FOR COCOA

Boise-based Dream Chocolate makes everything from hair-strengthening candy bars to vagina pops LE X NEL SON In the one-room factory of Dream Chocolate Company, employees in hairnets and white aprons catch molten chocolate in molds or wrap bars in gold foil. Along one wall, a ton of German-chocolate bricks is stacked on a plastic-wrapped pallet, and rows of metal racks lined with trays of finished chocolates, from creamy white rectangles dotted with cocoa nibs to glossy dark squares stamped with flower designs, fill the rest of the space. The Boisebased artisan chocolate bar maker is home to more of the sweet stuff than any person could reasonably expect to see in one spot.

Through the controlled chaos stride company founder Kay Johnson and Vice President Jason VanQuill. The two men are the brains behind the operation, which distributes its own products but also takes custom orders from high-profile clients nationwide. Johnson—a former broker for food giants like Hormel, Sara Lee, McCormick and General Mills—brings years of experience to the table, while VanQuill is the “flavor alchemist” who works one-on-one with clients to make their visions reality.

“I’ll work with them and either take their ideas and incorporate it into our process and different types of chocolate…[or] we’ll bounce ideas off each other and come up with new flavors or ingredients for bars,” VanQuill says.

Also on the factory floor is a kind flavor lab: a desk surrounded by bottles and bags of ingredients. VanQuill takes items from the shelves one by one, explaining how he has used them to make a range of “healthy chocolates” that are all the rage with holistic-minded customers. “[One of our clients] was looking for Ayurvedic-type properties, with Chinese herbs and an alternative sweetener. So basically we developed a chocolate bar that was cocoa liquor, cocoa butter, sweetened with honey, and then it had cashews, cranberries, cardamom, cinnamon, maybe even nutmeg and some Ayurvedic herbs: shatavari and ashwagandha,” VanQuill says.

right now; It’s really good for your skin, it helps your cells hold in moisture … strengthens hair, promotes nail growth, that kind of thing.”

Still, VanQuill says, the best-selling Dream Chocolate bar is more traditional. It’s 70 percent dark chocolate with Bali sea salt and California almonds, ingredients hand-mixed into the bars with chopsticks to ensure the perfect distribution and consistency.

The process at Dream Chocolate is as much about quality as taste. Johnson and VanQuill will snack on whole roasted cocoa beans rather than resort to fast food when they’re at trade shows, and that fastidiousness comes through in the finished products, which are made from what they consider the best ingredients from around the world. Getting those to ingredients to the factory, however, is a complex process.

Dream Chocolate uses cocoa beans that are Rainforest Alliance Certified, responsibly grown and sourced from Ecuador. The beans make a 6,000-mile journey to Germany, where they are processed into 11-pound bricks before being shipped to the Boise factory. Once there, the chocolate is melted down, tempered (a multi-step heating and cooling process that gives chocolates a signature snap and sheen) and made into bars—or more creative shapes.

Apart from its traditional stock, Dream Chocolate makes “V-Pops,” vagina-shaped chocolates on sticks that is ships around the country to accompany performances of the

female-empowerment play The Vagina Monologues—the pops have been eaten by the likes of Meryl Streep. There was a fair amount of controversy over the v-pops a few years ago.

Johnson explains how a delivery of the sweets to Boise State University for a fundraiser put Dream Chocolate in Rush Limbaugh’s crosshairs. After the radio host received a package of pops from the Boise State Women’s Center, he railed against the school for advocating pornography. The products were pulled from the company website for a few years, but are back for 2018.

“This year I thought, ‘You know, I really believe in this. I believe in women, I have two really strong daughters and I have really strong granddaughters, and I’m for this,’” Johnson says.

Dream Chocolate has taken a stand on another controversial issue as well. It partners with Full Circle Exchange to provide job training for refugees and immigrants, some of whom take permanent positions at Dream Chocolate, while others go on to work in different food-related businesses.

“They’re always upbeat, because they really want to make it here,” Johnson says, adding that wrapping chocolate bars can help in the recovery of fine motor skills after trauma. “...We get some benefit from them,” Johnson says “But it’s really something we’re giving.”

CITIZEN VANESSA ISIGUEN AND CHAZ’MEN WILLIAMS-ALI

Taking flight with Opera Idaho in Madama Butterfly GEORGE PRENTICE

Vanessa Isiguen was a teenager when she first heard some of Madama Butterfly, the classic, early 20th-century opera penned by Giacomo Puccini. Isiguen’s high school choir was performing a selection from the opera’s famed humming chorus.

“It was gorgeous,” said Isiguen. “I ran home and asked my mother to play the full opera on our record player. I thought, ‘Wow, this is incredible.’”

Chaz’men Williams-Ali was even younger.

“It was fourth grade for me. It was epic,” he said. “Fast forward to when I was in college and I had a full appreciation of the opera. But it comes full circle back to the fourth grade for me.”

And now, both accomplished singers who have performed on some of opera’s grandest stages, Isiguen and Williams-Ali will portray Madama Butterfly’s star-crossed lovers in Opera Idaho’s next production, slated for Friday, Feb. 16, and Sunday, Feb. 18, at The Morrison Center.

Dozens of works in popular culture have borrowed from Madama Butterfly: the play M. Butterfly, the film Fatal Attraction…

Williams-Ali: And of course, the Broadway musical Miss Saigon. But the original is the tragic beautiful story as told by the greatest opera composer of all time, Puccini.

we fought wars. A character in Miss Saigon called it, “playing house.” Pinkerton was doing what a lot of men were doing, but Puccini wanted us to see Cio-Cio San as a real person with real emotions.

Madama Butterfly was first presented in the early 1900s and seen through a west- Most productions in the 20th century ern lens.

Can I assume that the life of a professional opera singer means you live out of a suitcase?

Isiguen: You’re on the road a lot. It’s a challenge, especially with relationships. But thank goodness for technology, especially Facetime or Snapchat.

Williams-Ali: I’ve been home possibly four to six weeks in the last three years.

Best of luck to the both of you. In the theater, we say “break a leg,” but what about in opera?

Isiguen: We say, “in bocca la lupo.” That’s Italian.

Wlliams-Ali: And, “crepi il lupo.”

Which means…

Isiguen: “In bocca al lupo” translates to “Into the mouth of the wolf.”

Williams-Ali: And “crepi il lupo” means, “I hope it dies.”

Isiguen: But we also like “toi, toi, toi.”

Williams-Ali: That’s German. It’s like “break a leg.”

IN THE DISTRICT COURT FOR THE 4TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT FOR THE STATE OF IDAHO, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF ADA IN THE MATTER OF THE NAME CHANGE OF: DREGER DANIEL SCHLICHTING, Minor Child Case No. CV01-17-21484 NOTICE OF HEARING ON NAME CHANGE A Petition for Change of Name has been filed on behalf of DREGER DANIEL SCHLICHTING, a minor requesting a change of name from DREGER DANIEL SCHLICHTING to DREGER JRUE SCHLICHTING. The Petition alleges substantially that Petitioners are residents of Idaho, that they are married, that their son DREGER DANIEL SCHLICHTING, a minor, wishes to change his middle name from “Daniel” to “Jrue” as the name “Daniel” is a reference to Dreger’s biological father whose parental rights have been terminated. Dreger does not wish to have any association with his biological father, including his name, as it is a reminder of a father who legally abandoned him. Further that the requested name change is not for any illegal, fraudulent, or immoral purpose, and neither Petitioners nor the minor child are requesting a change of name with the intent or purpose of avoiding registration as a convicted sexual offender pursuant to chapter 83, title 18, Idaho Code.

Such Petition will be heard on the 13th day of March, 2018 at 1:30 pm, or at such other time as the court may appoint; any objections may be filed by any person who can, in such objections, show to the court a good reason against such a change of name.

Advice for those on the verge BITTER CRITTER

DEAR MINERVA,

It’s another Valentine’s Day… alone. I try not to be bitter about the lack of romance in my life, but it gets hard during this time of year not to get super pissy. My eyes are being assault by the onslaught of pink and red. Couples are sappily annoying. I know my favorite restaurants will be overrun with the twitterpated. What is your advice for the lonely?

Sincerely, Bitter Critter

DEAR BITTER CRITTER,

Oh l’amour! L’amour, l’amour! Whether you love it or love to hate it, love (and Valentine’s Day) is here to stay. I know it can be a bummer to see all the people around you in love. What I would encourage you to do is to broaden your definition of what kind of love you celebrate on VD. Remember, (almost) anything you can do with a partner, you can do with yourself. Netflix and Chill with you. Take yourself to a movie. Take yourself to dinner. Buy yourself flowers and chocolates. Just because you don’t have someone co-dependently celebrating you doesn’t mean you should go uncelebrated.

You don’t feel right showering yourself with attention? Alright! There are plenty of charities that could use some help, especially after the holidays, which is when people tend to do the bulk of their giving. If it is still bothering you, remember, these people were single once, too, and maybe they are just trying to put the work in to make it last in a world lousy with uncertainty.

BOISE PUBLIC LIBRARY HALF-GIG SESSIONS

If you listen to NPR or browse its podcasts, there’s a good chance you’ve come across at least one of its Tiny Desk Concerts, a series of interviews/jam sessions with musicians from around the world. Legend has it the concerts began in 2008 when NPR host Bob Boilen and music editor Stephen Thompson got fed up with having to parse through the deafening noise of the club scene to hear good music; As a compromise, Boilen invited the act of the night, singer-songwriter Laura Gibson, to play live at his office desk for listeners—and she did. Out of that moment of spontaneity came a popular program and podcast that has aired over 500 concerts to date. Now, the Boise Public Library is jumping on the music-loving bandwagon with its own concert series, Half-Gig Sessions. So far, the series comprises performances by seven local bands and musicians across a range of genres, including Dan Costello, Laura Geier and Igor Iachimciuc, Cindi and Lee Walton, Cardamom Hill, Available at youtube.com/user/ BoisePubLib/videos.

Red Light Challenge, Ana Lete, and Bards of the Morning Star.

The short sessions, recorded in the fourth-floor studio of the Boise Public Library and uploaded to its YouTube channel, are perfect for when you feel like watching a tiny concert at your desk.

ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): At 12,388 feet, Mount Fuji is Japan’s highest peak. If you’re in good shape, you can reach the top in seven hours. The return trip can be done in half the time—if you’re cautious. The loose rocks on the steep trail are more likely to knock you off your feet on the way down than on the way up. I suspect this is an apt metaphor for you in the coming weeks, Aries. Your necessary descent may be deceptively challenging, so make haste slowly! Your power animals are the rabbit and the snail.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright made a few short jaunts through the air in a flying machine they called the Wright Flyer. It was a germinal step in a process that ultimately led to your ability to travel 600 miles per hour while sitting in a chair 30,000 feet above the earth. Less than 66 years after the Wright Brothers’ breakthrough, American astronauts landed a space capsule on the moon. They had with them a patch of fabric from the left wing of the Flyer. I expect that during the coming weeks, you will be climaxing a long-running process that deserves a comparable ritual. Revisit the early stages of the work that enabled you to be where you are now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In 2006, five percent of the world’s astronomers gathered at an international conference and voted to demote Pluto from a planet to a “dwarf planet.” Much of the world agreed to honor their declaration.

Since then, though, there has arisen a campaign by equally authoritative astronomers to restore Pluto to full-planet status. The crux of the issue is this: How shall we define the nature of a planet? For the people of New Mexico, the question has been resolved. State legislators there formally voted to regard Pluto as a planet. They didn’t accept the demotion. I encourage you to be inspired by their example, Gemini. Whenever there are good arguments from opposing sides about important matters, trust your gut feelings. Stand up for your preferred version of the story.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Ray Bradbury’s dystopian best-seller Fahrenheit 451 was among the most successful of the 27 novels he wrote. It won numerous awards and has been adapted into films, plays and graphic novels. Bradbury wrote the original version of the story in nine days, using a typewriter he rented for 20 cents per hour. When his publisher urged him to double the length of the manuscript, he spent another nine days doing so.

According to my reading of the planetary configurations, you Cancerians now have a similar potential to be surprisingly efficient and economical as you work on an interesting cre-

ation or breakthrough—especially if you mix a lot of play and delight into your labors.

ing your intuition even though few people have appreciated what you were doing.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Poet Louise Gluck has characterized herself as “afflicted with longing yet incapable of forming durable attachments.” If there is anything in you that even partially fits that description, I have good news: In the coming weeks, you’re likely to feel blessed by longing rather than afflicted by it. The foreseeable future will also be prime time for you to increase your motivation and capacity to form durable attachments.

Take full advantage of this fertile grace period!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The growth you can and should foster in the coming weeks will be stimulated by quirky and unexpected prods. To get you started, here are a few such prods. 1. What’s your hidden or dormant talent, and what could you do to awaken and mobilize it? 2. What’s something you’re afraid of but might be able to turn into a resource? 3. If you were a different gender for a week, what would you do and what would your life be like?

4. Visualize a dream you’d like to have while you’re asleep tonight.

5. If you could transform anything about yourself, what would it be? 6.

Imagine you’ve won a free vacation to anywhere you want. Where would you go?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In 2004, a man named Jerry Lynn tied a battery-operated alarm clock to a string and dangled it down a vent in his house. He was hoping that when the alarm sounded, he would get a sense of the best place to drill a hole in his wall to run a wire for his TV. The knot he’d made wasn’t perfect, and the clock slipped off and plunged into an inaccessible spot behind the wall. Then, every night for 13 years, the alarm rang for a minute. The battery was unusually strong. A few months ago, Lynn decided to end the mild but constant irritation. Calling on the help of duct specialists, he retrieved the persistent clock. With this story as your inspiration and in accordance with astrological omens, I urge you Virgos to put an end to your equivalent of the maddening alarm clock.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Was Napoleon Bonaparte an oppressor or liberator? The answer is: both. His work in the world hurt a lot of people and helped a lot of people. One of his more magnanimous escapades transpired in June 1798, when he and his naval forces invaded the island of Malta.

During his six-day stay, he released political prisoners, abolished slavery, granted religious freedom to Jews, opened 15 schools, established the right to free speech and shut down the Inquisition. What do his heroics have to do with you? I don’t want to exaggerate, but I expect that you, too, now have the power to unleash a blizzard of benevolence in your sphere. Do it in your own style, of course, not Napoleon’s.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit,” said French playwright Moliere. I’m going to make that your motto for now, Scorpio. You have pursued a gradual steady approach to ripening, and soon it will pay off in the form of big bright blooms.

Congratulations on having the faith to keep plugging away in the dark!

I applaud your determination to be dogged and persistent about follow-

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may think you have uncovered the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. But according to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’re just a bit more than halfway there. In order to get the rest of the goods, you’ll have to ignore your itch to be done with the search.

You’ll have to be unattached to being right and smart and authoritative, so please cultivate patience. Be expansive and magnanimous as you dig deeper. For best results, align yourself with poet Richard Siken’s definition: “The truth is complicated. It’s two-toned, multi-vocal, bittersweet.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The posh magazine Tatler came up with a list of fashionable new names for parents who want to ensure their babies get a swanky start in life. Since you Aquarians are in a phase when you can generate good fortune by rebranding yourself or remaking your image, I figure you might be interested in using one of these monikers as a nickname or alias. At the very least, hearing them could whet your imagination to come up with your own ideas. Here are Tatler’s chic avant-garde names for girls: Czar-Czar, Debonaire, Estonia, Figgy, Gethsemane, Power, Queenie.

Here are names for boys: Barclay, Euripides, Gustav, Innsbruck, Ra, Uxorious, Wigbert, Zebedee.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Now that you have finally paid off one of your debts to the past, you can start window-shopping for the future’s best offers. The coming days will be a transition time as you vacate the power spot you’ve outgrown and ramble out to reconnoiter potential new power spots. So bid your crisp farewells to waning traditions, lost causes, ghostly temptations and the deadweight of people’s expectations. Then start preparing a vigorous first impression to present to promising allies out there in the frontier.
