EDITOR’S NOTE BOISE’S BEST With Boise landing spots on top 10 lists in everything from travel to food to financial publications, the pride so many of us feel for our growing little ‘burb is understandable. When asked what makes Boise such a great place, I often say “the quality of life.” It’s an imprecise answer and my go-to only because the inquirer probably doesn’t have the time it would take for me to extol the virtues of living here…which is the perfect segue to this reminder that nominations for the Boise Weekly Best of Boise 2018 poll are now open. Between now and March 28, you can visit bob.boiseweekly.com to nominate your favorite people, places and things. The three most nominated in each category will then move on to the Best of Boise poll, which will be open April 11-25. We added a few categories this year and omitted a few as well, but the biggest change is that we opened up some of the categories to include non-local businesses. Boise’s “it” factor is due in part to stores and restaurants that are so beloved in other cities choosing to set up shop here. For example, the clamor for a Trader Joe’s could be heard all the way to Monrovia, California.

For weeks after it opened, it was packed. Now, five years later, it usually still is. (We should probably start yelling for an IKEA.) Here at Boise Weekly, we have long been proponents of buy/ shop/support local. We still are. We just also recognize the importance of embracing everything good about Boise, even those things not born and raised here.

Speaking of homegrown greatness, Treefort Music Fest 2018 will spread its canopy across downtown Boise and beyond March 21-28. On pages 7, 8, 9, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22 in this edition of Boise Weekly, we look at a number of the forts and what they have to offer both attendees and the city of Boise. Hint: it’s an amazing experience.

NEWS THE PAPER CHASE

The City of Boise is working on both a quick fix and a sustainable solution to tons and tons of paper waste GEORGE PRENTICE Erma Hayman lived at the corner of Ash and River streets until 2009; she was 102 years old.

HOPES FOR HAYMAN HOUSE MIGHT SOON BE REALITY

—George Prentice 6 | MARCH 14–20, 2018 | BOISEweekly

behavior and reduced costs, those programs were keeping us on track to our biggest goal—the possibility of shifting to every-other-week pickup of trash, as early as the year 2020,” said Burgos.

Then the Chinese government struck again, notifying the World Trade Organization that, effective January, it would no longer accept materials contaminated any more than 0.5 percent. Socalled “contaminated” paper is paper that is mixed with plastics or films. Considering most cities,

ADAM RO SENLUND

The River Street Neighborhood, one of the oldest in Boise and once home to its largest African-American community, has been the focus of a lot more attention at Boise City Hall of late. The neighborhood, which saw most of its historic homes and buildings disappear over the past few decades, is set to see no fewer than three new housing projects, resulting in dozens of new townhouses, condos and apartments near River Street.

One of the homes that survived the neighborhood’s decline in the late 20th century is a nondescript 900-square-foot stone structure at the corner of Ash and River streets, better known today as the Hayman House. It was there that Erma Hayman lived until her death in 2009; she was 102 years old. In May 2015, Boise Weekly visited a unique archaeological dig at the site, which unearthed more than 10,000 artifacts, confirming that the property had immeasurable historic value. A total of 544 volunteer amateur archaeologists contributed 1,174 hours to the project, and historians conducted a series of oral history interviews with people who recalled living in or near the neighborhood.

Now, the Boise City Department of Arts and History is ready to bring new life to the Hayman House through an ambitious $500,000-plus revitalization that will turn the site into a public gathering space that could host workshops, lectures or artist-in-residence programs.

The plan, which still needs the green light from Boise City Council, would see the Capital City Development Corporation shoulder half of the development cost (approximately $277,000). The other half would come from the city, drawing monies from the Boise Capital Improvement Fund ($132,000) and the Percent for Art Fund ($145,000).

If all goes as proposed, the improvements to the exterior of the Hayman House could take place in Fiscal Year 2019 (which begins this October), with landscaping —including the creation of a path called “Erma’s Walk”—coming in FY 2020 and improvements to the interior of the home coming in FY 2021. The project design team would also like to install interpretive signage outside the home and an art wall or mosaic, celebrating the life of Erma Hayman.

Six hundred and fifty tons. That’s how much mixed paper Boise residents and businesses send to Western Recycling each month. Blue whales, the largest animal on Earth, can weigh around 200 tons, which means Boiseans send the equivalent of three-and-a-half whales worth of paper to be recycled each month.

But wait. It gets worse.

New regulations from China have made it nearly imossible for Boise to send its paper there for recycling, leaving the city in a major jam. Unlike aluminum or plastic recycling, paper has so little value that someone now has to be paid to pick it up in order to keep it out of the Ada County Landfill.

Currently, the City of Boise pays nearly $100,000 out of its Solid Waste Fund every month to divert paper from the landfill.

“This is a seismic shift,” said Steve Burgos, director of Boise Public Works.

Before the tremor erupts into an earthquake, Burgos needs to buy some time. In the coming days, he and his colleagues will go before Boise City Council with some shortterm fixes and long-term solutions.

“First, we can’t lose sight of how far we’ve come in this city, and the path that we don’t want to stray from,” Burgos added.

Some may think the service has been around for much longer, but it was as recently as 2009 that recycling bins were first rolled out to households. The easy, no-sort recycling has resulted in an impressive 98-percent participation rate among Boise residents. A revamped glass recycling program followed in 2012, which repurposes tons of discarded bottles and jars each month courtesy of a partnership with Environmental Abrasives.

In 2017, the city began a curbside composting program, which in less than a year has ramped up to a 96-percent residential participation rate.

Earlier this year, Boise officials announced they would soon launch an ambitious plastics recycling program in response to China’s refusal to take many U.S. plastics. That effort will launch in April, when residents will receive “energy bags” for collecting used plastics.

“The good news is that through changed

like Boise, that offer no-sort recycling have tons of “contaminants” mixed with paper, 0.5 percent is a near-impossible target. Even the most aggressive efforts from professional recycling companies haven’t been able to meet China’s new standard, according to Burgos.

“We think we’ve already addressed the issue of China not taking our plastics with the ‘energy bag’ program which we’ve just announced,” said Haley Falconer, environmental division senior manager at Public Works. “But this paper chal-

lenge is much, much bigger.”

Someone not familiar with recycling paper, either domestic or overseas, might jump to the conclusion: If China doesn’t want our paper, why don’t we find someone in the U.S. who does?

Complicating the dilemma is the fact that the current value of paper for recycling or repurposing is so low that the city would have to pay companies to take the paper. In other words, the expense of sorting and transporting all of that paper is significantly higher than the paper itself.

As of this week, the city is shelling out $100,000 per month to those companies to take Boise’s paper.

Which begs an unfortunate question: Why not send the paper to the Ada County landfill?

“Citizens of Boise remind us, again and again, that we’re on the right path toward sustainability. Our programs of recycling and diversion away from the landfill are too popular for us to reverse direction,” said Burgos. “Solving this paper dilemma is bigger than all of us, but I’m confident.”

Here are some of the ideas on the table: Deferring/restructuring payments totaling $1.5 million for the remediation of the site of Esther Simplot Park which, ironically, was discovered to be contaminated with waste.

A possible hike, somewhere around $2, of monthly trash/sewer fees paid by Boise residents.

Exploring new technology which would “clean up” Boise’s stream of contaminated mixed paper.

“When it comes to new technology, there’s something called ‘optical sorting,’” said Burgos, explaining a system that uses optics similar to facial recognition software, “but in this case, it looks at trash. Picture trash coming down a giant conveyer built. There’s a huge piece of equipment that scans the trash and identifies the contaminated plastics or other things that shouldn’t be with the paper. Then, further down the belt, little air puffers blast the identified contaminants away from the paper. It’s pretty amazing.”

Something “amazing” is exactly what Burgos and his team need to solve the city’s long-term paper problem. In the short term, all Burgos really needs is some time.

Boise Police overtime duirng 2017 Treefort was recouped from festival sponsors.

BOISE POLICE ON TREEFORT: IT’S ALL ABOUT ASSESSING SIZE AND COMPLEXITY

THE MEASURE OF A FESTIVAL Taking a look at Treefort by the numbers HARRISON BERRY

Every year, the site of the Treefort Main Stage undergoes a multi-day metamorphosis, transforming from a surface parking lot to a venue worthy of the likes of Lizzo and Charles Bradley. Workers spend days sectioning the space off, erecting the tents and the stage itself, and installing a gateway big enough for thousands of people—and, once, an LED-lit macro-puppet spider—to use.

The main stage is where all the faces of the festival can be seen, from those belonging to ardent music fans crowding barricades near the stage and children scurrying about their parents’ knees to those of volunteers and gawkers. It’s a good bet many of them belong to people who have come to Boise from someplace else. That’s because Treefort is a net, and its catch, at least in the beginning, was made up of bands heading home from the South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas, and their diehard fans.

“A lot of people know what SXSW is, and we’ll definitely say that [Treefort has] organically grown a festival that captures those bands traveling from SXSW,” said Boise Convention and Visitors Bureau Executive Director Carrie Westergard. “Those musicians are coming through here, and [Treefort is] capturing them to perform in all these different venues throughout Boise.

It really transforms the city for five days.”

Last year, the BCVB began using a new tool to figure out part of the size of Treefort’s splash: an economic impact calcula-

tor that measures rented hotel accommodations, transportation costs, food and beverage consumption, retail activity and recreation.

The economic impact of tourists attending Treefort in 2017 alone was estimated at more than $2.7 million, and the total impact of the festival, Westergard said, was closer to $4.8 million.

“This year it could be over $5 million,” she said.

Treefort means many things to many people. For most of the thousands of music fans, techies, book lovers, foodies and yogis, it’s a celebration. For some of them, it’s also

an entre to the city, which has become the darling of internet top 10 lists and ranks high for its quality of life. The charts and graphs on this page offer a profile of Treefort by the numbers: how it has grown, how it has changed and what it means to Boise. Increasingly, as Westergard put it, the festival functions as a “first date” with the City of Trees.

“We’re the intro, and we’ve heard time and time again from many of our clients that they had no idea Boise had this much to offer,” she said. “The second thing they say is, ‘I could live here,’ or ‘I could move here.’ It’s a first step.”

With tens of thousands of out-of-towners streaming into Boise for the NCAA basketball tournament one week and then thousands more visiting for Treefort Music Fest the next, Boise police say there’s little need to worry.

They have planning for such major events down to a science.

“We prepare assessments on the size and complexity of venues,” said Boise Police Department Captain Paul Burch. “That includes a threat assessment. We’re always looking to see if there’s anything controversial that might be connected to the event, so we’re monitoring social media and in touch with other agencies to see if there’s anything to look out for.”

In years past, BPD officials said their biggest concern hasn’t been disorderly conduct during Treefort, it’s been managing the safe flow of pedestrians and vehicles through downtown Boise.

“What we’re looking closely at are the locations of those events, what day of the week those events take place on and if there are any needed street closures that impact traffic,” said Burch. “Based on all of those factors, we then look at our staffing concerns.

Plus, we have to see if there’s some other event that may be going on that same day.

Then, we factor in all of our normal police calls and services.”

And yes, that means overtime for some officers.

“Many times, the sponsors of the event will share the cost of officers’ overtime,” said Burch. “Yes, we recouped our costs last year for Treefort.”

Burch said he doesn’t anticipate any dramatic change in staffing or policing during Treefort this year.

“As long as the event doesn’t change its footprint or complexity from year to year, we’ll stick with our plan. We try to keep it as economical as possible,” he said. “Some events require change. For example, this year’s X Games qualifier is adding another event and growing the footprint, so we’ll grow our plan, but when it comes to Treefort, our plan should be nearly exactly the same as last year.”

COMEDYFORT

YOGAFORT

ALEFORT

What do the cities of Austin, Wilmington, Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, Portland, Nampa, Boise and London all have in common? Comedians from all those locales will perform at Comedyfort, the funniest appendage of the many-armed Treefort Music Fest. The laugh-out-loud lineup will present comedic styles as various as their hometowns. Case in point, the two headliners: Gina Yashere, a British comedian known in the United States for her top-10 finish on Last Comic Standing, and Solomon Georgio, a stand-up veteran who uses “stories of his life as an openly gay African immigrant” as creative fodder. The Boise contingent includes Emma Arnold, Sophie Hughes, KC Hunt, Emmanuel Vera, Beth Norton, Christopher Sundberg, Hailee Lenhart-Wees and duo Lady Bizness.

Ticket prices and locations vary, 21 and older only, treefortmusicfest.com/forts/comedyfort.

In a blog post, Treefort Music Fest describes Yogafort headliner Kate Swarm as “the epitome of badass, with a complimentary attitude of radical acceptance and loveable playfulness.” That’s actually a pretty accurate summation of Yogafort, the Treefort branch that combines adventure and zen in a three-day downward dog affair. Swarm will take the reins on two Yogafort workshops: a VinSaucin’ class and a partner yoga class with Gordon Ogden, but she’s far from alone in the lineup. The fort will feature classes set to live music, and instructors include Swarm; Ogden; Tony G and local experts like Marissa Wepner and Dena Stoltz, plus music from Dave Stringer—who specializes in a “call-and-response form of mantra chanting”—Sol Rising; East Forest and Sheela Bringi, among others.

Times vary, $60 three-day pass. JUMP, 1000 W, Myrtle St., treefortmusicfest.com/forts/yogafort.

Whether you’re looking for a digestif after enjoying bites from Foodfort (see Pg. 21) or just want a quality glass of suds for ale’s sake, the Alefort tent at Treefort Music Fest will be hard to pass up. For this Treefort offshoot, the emphasis will be on local brews and their crafty creators—21 of the 26 breweries and five cideries pouring will be Idaho-based, and there will be four “exclusively Idaho ales” made entirely with local ingredients. The tent will also host another Alefort Nail Pull, releasing fresh pours from Sockeye Brewing, Payette Brewing Co., Grand Teton Brewing and Barbarian Brewing, and can a “Fresh AF American IPA” on site. Plus, check out talks lead by some of Boise’s favorite brew gurus, including Rob Landerman of Woodland Empire Brewing Co., James Long of Barbarian Brewing Co. and Lauren Salazar of New Belgium.

ST. PATRICK’S DAY THE PIPES, THE PIPES Wear something green: check. Buy a “Kiss Me, I’m Irish” pin: check. Put “celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with The Boise Highlanders” on the calendar: check.

Now in their 57th year of pipin’ and dancin’, the Highlanders’ St. Patrick’s Day performance schedule is so full they’ll begin celebrating a day early. Starting Friday, March 16, the Highlanders will hit around 35 pubs and restaurants across Boise (some of them more than once). The pipe, drum and dance group is in such, well, high demand, that they will split up into smaller bands to meet it. At any given time on St. Paddy’s Day, Highlanders may be performing in three different locations.

When he’s not helping patients at the Boise Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Dr. Grant Harbison serves as “Pipe Major” of the Highlanders.

Harbison, 45, has been piping since he was 16.

“My son started when he was 12. We have all ages in the band,” said Harbison. “I would say about a third of our pipers are women. We have more than two dozen pipers. That’s pretty big for a pipe band.”

The Highlanders’ calendar includes performance dates well before and well after March 17, including the Treasure Valley Highland Games in September, but the highlight has to be the non-stop madness that is St. Patrick’s Day. “It never gets old. I love it more than ever,” said Harbison.

On March 16, the Highlanders will perform at The Crescent, Beef O’Brady’s, Harry’s Hideaway, Hyde Park Pub, Tap and Cask and Gil’s K-9. On March 17, they will begin the day with concurrent performances at The Crescent and Tavern at Bown Crossing, and wrap up sometime around midnight.

The Idaho Forty-Eight Hour Film Festival (“i48”) selected ten local teams to make a short documentary about some person, place or event that occured in the Treasure Valley during February 2018. The filmmakers had complete creative control over the stories they choose to tell. All ten shorts will be shown. i48 hopes this project will generate an exciting, insightful, and diverse look at our community during this brief window of time.

This project is supported in part by a grant from the Boise Arts and History Department. $7.50 tickets are available at the Flicks box office and website online store. More information http://idaho48.org.

NOISE A few of the Treefort Music Fest 2018 must-sees

J ES S I C A F E RG U SON

BRANCH OUT BEN SCHULTZ The headliners for Treefort Music Fest 2018 (Wednesday, March 21-Sunday,March 25) are some of the biggest names in the history of the event. TMF will welcome acclaimed acts like Russian punk collective Pussy Riot, party-mad rocker Andrew WK, feminist alt-rapper Princess Nokia, B-52s belter-turned-electro-pop chanteuse Cindy Wilson and funk legend George Clinton.

As with every Treefort lineup, though, there are plenty of noteworthy artists that attendees may not be familiar with, so we put together a list of a few you don’t want to miss.

Touring Artists HAUNTED SUMMER (NEUROLUX, MARCH 22, 9 P.M.)

Where there is Thunderpussy, there is rock, ipso facto, Treefort Music Fest 2018 is going to seriously rock.

This beguiling Highland Park, Ca.-based band is no stranger to Boise—it played Neurolux in 2015 and The Olympic in 2016. This time around, Haunted Summer will play material from its debut LP Spirit Guides (Touch Vinyl, 2017), which the LA Weekly called “a bewitching 10-track collection of dream-pop, shoegaze and fuzz-toned psychedelia.”

THE HOOT HOOTS (THE OLYMPIC, MARCH 24, 8:30 P.M.)

MEERA (ADELMANN NORTH, MARCH 23, 10:15 P.M.) This pedigree of this experimental duo is promising. Arkia Jahani is a filmmaker and has released several pleasantly ominous ambient compositions, while guitarist Robin Finck has been a mainstay of Nine Inch Nails live since the early 1990s and played lead guitar for Guns N’ Roses from 1997 to 2009.

ANTIBALAS (EL KORAH SHRINE, MARCH 23, 11:45 P.M.) Modeled after Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti’s legendary Africa 70 band, Antibalas performed the music for Tony Award-winning musical Fela!. In the 2011 documentary Finding Fela, Roots drummer and Tonight Show bandleader Questlove called the Brooklyn-based group “one of the few American bands I fear.”

THUNDERPUSSY (SHREDDER, MARCH 23, 12:40 A.M.; HANNAH’S, MARCH 24, 11:30 P.M.) This tough, all-female, rock band is cut from the same cloth as The Runaways and The Donnas but has a lissome, thunderous sound all its own.

Thunderpussy’s main stage set was a highlight of Treefort 2017.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

True to its name, this Seattle power-pop group’s playful songs, goofy costumes and manic energy make it an absolute hoot live.

stage presence made him the driving force of Hollow Wood, one of the most popular local bands of recent years. This set is a chance to hear what he’s been up to since the group disbanded.

LAND OF TALK (EL KORAH SHRINE, MARCH 25, 10:15 P.M.)

THE FOXXTONES (PENGILLY’S, MARCH 22, 6 P.M.)

Eight or nine years ago, Land of Talk seemed poised for stardom. The Canadian indie-rock band toured with groups like Broken Social Scene, and Justin Vernon of Bon Iver produced its LP Some Are Lakes (Saddle Creek Records, 2008).

Unfortunately, the band’s momentum came to a halt after lead singer-songwriter Elizabeth Powell lost the tracks for a solo album, dealt with a vocal chord polyp and cared for her ailing father. After a seven-year hiatus, Powell reformed her band and released Life After Youth (Saddle Creek, 2017), which Paste Magazine called “one of the catchiest ... and most heartbreaking ... summer albums of the year.”

Before she moved to California, The Foxxtones’ Cassie Lewis was one of Boise’s most promising artists. Her booming, sultry voice serves as the perfect vehicle for plaintive, bluesy folk-country songs. Pre-funk by listening to the stunning new Foxxtones EP Welcome Home (selfreleased, 2018) at thefoxxtones.bandcamp.com.

Local Artists HUMMINGBIRD OF DEATH (SHREDDER, MARCH 21, 10:50 P.M.) Powerviolence wouldn’t seem to lend itself to introspection or sociopolitical analysis, but Hummingbird of Death managed to squeeze both into Forbidden Techniques (self-released, 2017). If you listen past the trio’s rapid-fire drums and roaring riffs, you’ll hear some well-observed tirades against social injustices and alienation.

ADAM JONES (THE OLYMPIC, MARCH 21, 11:20 P.M.) Jones’ spirited vocals, thoughtful lyrics and impish

HOST (BOISE CONTEMPORARY THEATER, MARCH 22, 6:20 P.M.) Alex Maddalena lives in Rhode Island now, but he performed around Boise for a couple of years as Ugly Hussy. His album Host (self-released, 2014) was one of the best local albums of 2014. Maddalena’s more recent music expands upon the dreamy beauty of his earlier guitar-and-loops compositions.

TREEPEOPLE (NEUROLUX, MARCH 23, 12:30 A.M.; SHREDDER, MARCH 24, 12:20 A.M.) The Friday night schedule at Neurolux includes a reunion of some great local ’90s bands, including H-Hour and Dirt Fishermen. The biggest draw of them all is probably Treepeople, which will see Built to Spill head honcho Doug Martsch and The Hand frontman Scott Schmaljohn together again, trading vocals and guitar solos.

LISTEN HERE TFM: GEORGE CLINTON & PARLIAMENT FUNKADELIC, MAIN STAGE, MARCH 23 With more than 400 musical acts to choose from at Treefort 2018, it’s hard to know where to turn first for for top-drawer tunes. If funk is your jam though, you’re in luck—look no further than George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic. If Clinton’s career were a book, each chapter would be headed with a different band name. Clinton formed his first doo wop group, The Parliaments, in the 1950s, and since then, the name has changed with the jazz-infused R&B sound: Funkadelic in the ’60s, Parliament in the ’70s, P-Funk All Stars in the ’80s and, finally, Parliament Funkadelic in the ‘90s, which was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Off stage, music from the Grammy- and Dovewinning father of modern funk has appeared in Apple and Nike ads and on the soundtracks of more than 150 movies and TV shows, including recent hits like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Pitch Perfect 3. Clinton is truly a man for the ages.

TFM: PUSSY RIOT, EL KORAH SHRINE, MARCH 23 There have been a lot of acidic takes on President Donald Trump, but few of them have the PH balance of Russian feminist performance art collective Pussy Riot’s music video, “Make America Great Again.” Released days before the 2016 election, it tells the story of Nadya, who is arrested, branded with a hot iron, raped, subjected to unethical medical treatment and finally shot in the back by a cop. The images are disturbing and evocative. The music is poppy, but the lyrics are insistent and angry. The irony is so bitter it burns to the touch. After years of mastering the art of anger on Russian President Vladimir Putin, the group has shifted some of its gaze to Trump, and doesn’t like what it sees. Don’t miss this rare chance to check out one of the most controversial music groups on the planet, right here at home.

ARTS & CULTURE TALES OF TREEFORT

View “The Crossing” by Ashley Carlson at The Owyhee

TREEFORT ART GALLERY: SMALL EXHIBIT, BIG PURPOSE Boise-based artist Tony Caprai has worked with Treefort Music Fest since its inception, but by 2017 he still felt its potential to enhance the local arts scene was untapped. That same year, Caprai created the Treefort Art Gallery to fill the visual arts void. Although the exhibit will be small this year, with only 13-15 pieces on display, he has high hopes for its future.

“I wanted to do something for Boise,” said Caprai. “The gallery scene here is pretty much lacking—there are a few cool spots to show, but I remember Modern Art [an event at the Modern Hotel and Bar] … that was a great era for Boise for art shows, and it kind of died out, so I thought it might be nice to help create something to get a little more momentum going. ” The gallery will be free and open to the public at The Owyhee from Tuesday, March 20-Sunday, March 25 this year. Of the six artists featured, three were invited from beyond state lines, and three were chosen from a pool of local submissions. Collage artist Colleen Condon and mixed media painters Catina Crum and Ashley Carlson made the local cut, while sculptor/installation artist Melanie Billark, multimedia experimenter Eli Craven and audio-visual specialist Garek Jon Druss will travel in.

“This is my first international show,” said Billark, a Toronto native whose 6-foot tall environmental installation piece, “Greenwashing,” made from AstroTurf and a 1920s-era clothes washer, is one of the exhibit anchors. “I thought it would be a great opportunity to be a part of a larger arts community.”

Carlson’s artwork is also a response to the environment. In oil and graphite, she marries surreal Idaho landscapes with blank-faced figures, and said her work confronts “ideas of rural isolation, anonymity and time past.”

Some of the artists will also give talks and participate in other Treefort events. Billark, for example, is partnering with Kidfort to teach a class on natural weaving, a collaboration that is just the first step for the gallery when it comes to branching out.

“What we’re working on for the future of the gallery and for development is more collaboration with Boise City Arts and History,” said Caprai. “And there’s light talk of an artist in residence, or an installation grant … [It’s] really exciting.”

How Christian Winn’s What’s Wrong With You Is What’s Wrong With Me is an example of what’s right with Storyfort AMY ATKINS To call oneself a painter, one must paint. To call oneself a dancer, one must dance. To call oneself a writer, one must write. Local author Christian Winn is definitely a writer—as well as a writing teacher at Boise State University, through The Cabin workshops and in his role as the current Idaho Writer in Residence. He’s not only a writer and teacher, however. He’s also a published author and his latest book, a collection of four novelettes titled What’s Wrong With You Is What’s Wrong With Me (Dock Street Press, Dec. 2017), serves as a tangible example of why Winn, the co-founder of Storyfort, is so well-suited to head up the literary branch of the annual Treefort Music Fest (March 21-25). He not only practices what he teaches, he’s a staunch advocate for storytelling and stories.

“I want to get the work out in the world,” Winn said.

The “work” is character driven tales (usually set in Idaho) about the human condition, what renowned local author Anthony Doerr called “glittering stories about trapped, beaten and restless young people.” As Winn points the light at the often darkest recesses of these people’s lives, he doesn’t hold any punches—for either characters or readers. The chilly title story of What’s Wrong opens with a foreboding first-person account from Samantha, one of two siblings in a “kind-of stolen car,” who have driven from San Diego to the City of Trees.

“On the cold leather back seat I huddle into Johnny’s bony chest. My head’s swollen and phlegmy, my toes frigid and it takes me way too long to remember we’re in Boise, Idaho, and that it was my idea in the first place to drive out here with Johnny to see the house where we all grew up ten-plus years ago—me, Mary, Johnny, Mom and Dad. Mary was Johnny’s twin, my big sister, only twenty-three. She died two years ago yesterday. One stupid early morning she drank too much rum then ate too many pills. This knowledge still scares me so much.”

Local author/teacher/Storyfort co-founder Christian Winn isn’t telling tales when he says he loves writing.

As difficult as the stories in What’s Wrong may be, it is a quintessential couldn’t-putit-down book. Winn, who said he “likes the sensibility” of short stories, is working on another collection as well as a novel, although he puts his work on hold leading up to Treefort to make sure the Storyfort programming is engaging, valuable and, most importantly, celebrates stories and storytellers.

Storyfort events are free and open to the public, most take place at The Owyhee and are all ages, and many tie in to other forts and other arts and culture communities.

“That was one of our goals with Storyfort: to have that interconnectedness,” Winn said.

Below are a few highlights of the Storyfort programming. Find the full schedule at treefortmusicfest.com, and start getting connected.

BEYOND THE BURGER From beef hearts to injera, Foodfort 2018 will push Boise out of its culinary comfort zone

Funky Taco will host soft openings this month.

INCOMING EATS: RESTAURANTS SETTING UP SHOP IN DOWNTOWN BOISE The restaurant industry is notoriously volatile; according to a 2014 study based on Bureau of Labor Statistics data, about 17 percent of full-service restaurants close in their first year, and the combination of exploding population and constant construction in Boise seems to shuffle them a whole lot more. Luckily, restaurant closures often also bring restaurant openings, filling the spaces left behind. Check out the list below for what’s coming to a street near you.

LE X NEL SON While Foodfort 2018 doesn’t technically have a theme, it can be almost entirely summed up in a single word: adventure. Since its inception in 2016, the tastiest branch of the sprawling Treefort Music Fest has been exploring local cuisine—and surprising local taste buds. In the past, chefs have pushed boundaries with the “Tastes” portion of the event, which offers for-purchase bites in partnership with Alefort. This year, the organizers have gone a step further, securing a demonstration space that will allow attendees of Foodfort “Talks,” the panel and discussion half of Foodfort, to sample dishes like beef hearts and Filipino-style noodles straight from the stovetop.

“In the past, the [Foodfort] Talks Tent was attached to the Alefort Tent, so we weren’t really able to do any live cooking demos, because it was in a tent,” said Foodfort Talks Director Tara Morgan, co-founder of local catering company Wild Plum Events. “So this year, we’re in the former Kindness space in the Owyhee Hotel. We’ll actually have this wonderful long marble demo counter, where we’ll be able to prepare food on site and offer samples and more fun stuff. People [will] actually get to see food being prepared and dished up right in front of them.”

The beef hearts will be cooked up on Saturday, March 24, during a talk called “Eat Your Heart Out” with Chef Hugh Acheson, a past Top Chef judge, cookbook author and chef/owner of six Georgia restaurants who is returning to Foodfort for a second year. Plus, on Friday, March 23, Portland, Oregon-based restaurateur Chef Carlo LaMagna will prepare pancit bihon, a Filipino noodle dish studded with meats and vegetables, to go along with his talk, “Explore the Evolution of Filipino Food.”

Out of the 15 chefs taking part in Foodfort, Acheson and LaMagna are the only two traveling in from outside the Gem State. They’ll both also be featured at the Foodfort Meat Up, the carnivorous cocktail hour that will kick off the fort Thursday, March 22. Local meat maestro Brad Taylor of the barbeque/vegan eatery BBQ4Life will join them to represent the City of Trees.

“I’m more of a pitmaster than I am a chef,” Taylor said. “It’s just a different realm than what BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Chef Hugh Acheson (above) starting working in restaurants at age 15, and opened the first of his own in 2000.

[Acheson and LaMagna] do, and those guys are phenomenal. So I’m really excited to be a part of it.”

After careful consideration, Taylor has decided on housemade pork sausage and tri-tip as his contributions for the night.

Another talk set for Saturday, March 22, in partnership with Storyfort certainly furthers the adventure theme, featuring restaurateurs who’ve traveled a long way to become Boise locals: Chef Kibrom Milash of Kibrom’s Ethiopian and Eritrean Restaurant; Chef E, who hails from Thai pop-up/catering company Lime and a Coconut; and Chef Ratna Subba, who started the Nepalese food truck Darjeeling Momo.

“Storyfort did a refugee talks event in the past that was super successful for them, and so they wanted to explore that a little bit more in the context of food,” Morgan said. “So we partnered up on that event. We’re calling it, ‘Digging In: Stories of Global Flavors’ … The point of the conversation is to really explore the story of food and global flavors, get to know the personal stories of these chefs and have them explain why these dishes are significant in their culture.”

Milash said that for his portion of the talk, he plans to focus on a handful of ingredients crucial to Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine, including injera—a sourdough flatbread often used to scoop up bites of other dishes—chickpeas, cabbage, potatoes and chicken.

“I’m going to talk about my history,” said Milash, “... [In Ethiopia,] we serve the chicken for special guests, if someone comes to our home. We serve the whole chicken. We kill the chicken and cook it with 12 eggs, because the chicken has 12 different bones [or parts: two each of drumsticks,

thighs, breasts and wings, plus the neck, chest, ribs and giblets].”

Beyond the food, Milash said he’s most excited about meeting other international chefs at Foodfort, and creating a community to fill the gap left behind when the Boise International Market was razed by fire in 2015.

“That would be good, if we could find an international place for [chefs from] different countries,” he said. “The Boise International Market was really good, because it was fun and we had a really good family.”

Another Saturday talk worth noting for its emphasis on pushing culinary boundaries is “Beyond Burgers and IPAs: Bringing More Adventurous Cuisine to Boise,” which will feature Bittercreek Alehouse Owner Dave Krick, recently James Beard-nominated State & Lemp Chef Kris Komori and BreAnne Hovley, co-owner of Barbarian Brewing, which opened a downtown Boise taproom in 2017. The topic arose out of Morgan’s personal curiosity, perhaps a companion to the question: Can we get people in Boise to eat beef heart and like it?

“I feel like, I’ll talk to restaurateurs around town and they’ll say they serve burgers and IPAs because that’s what people buy. And I totally get that,” Morgan said, “But then I’ll talk to my food friends around town, and they’ll say, ‘Gosh, I wish I could go somewhere and get something besides a burger and an IPA.’ And I’m just fascinated at where the disconnect is.”

With its four-day slate of highly edible events, Foodfort will attempt to answer that question and many more. Visit treefortmusicfest.com for a full list of talks, and to check out the 15 creative “Tastes” that will be available in the Foodfort Tent.

CITIZEN ALEX SATTERLEE AND ALLIE MORGAN

On why Filmfort is “such a Treefort thing to do” GEORGE PRENTICE

Running a film festival requires almost as much crisis management skill as it does love for movies. I’m intrigued by a number of your films this year, beginning with a short film called Alex Satterlee is tailor-made for the job. For the Volcanoes! from Idaho’s own Zach Voss. past four years, he has been a U.S. Forest Service I’ve been lucky enough to see some of his firefighter—he spent last summer jumping into danger in California, Montana, Nevada and Utah volcano footage, and it’s jaw-dropping.

Satterlee: It’s beautiful. What’s interesting hotspots. Then, just when snow starts to fly, he is that the feel of Zach’s film is inspired by oldjumps into Filmfort, where alongside colleagues timey public service announcements.

Ian Clark, Ben Morgan and Matt Wade, he curates a diverse slate of movies to showcase during Would you agree we seem to be in a golden Treefort. era for short films?

Allie Morgan, office manager at Boise Rock Satterlee: Absolutely. The advantage of a short School, is another integral part of Filmfort. She’ll film is that, surprisingly, you’re be overseeing a three-day stuable to do a lot more with a limdent filmmaker workshop durited budget. I’m really excited ing the festival, where kids will FILMFORT that we’ll be showing a block film live music performances, Wednesday, March 21-Saturday, of short films from something craft the raw footage into music March 24, times vary. $40 fourcalled the Borscht Film Festival, videos and ultimately see their day pass. a really eclectic group of filmfinished work on the big screen.

The Flicks, 646 W. Fulton St., makers out of Miami, Florida. treefortmusicfest.com/forts/ They really push the boundaries.

How important was it this filmfort For example, Great Choice is a year to move Filmfort back film about a woman trapped in to an established venue: a Red Lobster commercial.

The Flicks?

Satterlee: Screening our films in previous You have a film called Clara’s Ghost, which years at the Owyhee was great, but The Flicks got a lot of buzz at this year’s Sundance is awesome. It’s a perfect partnership. It’s a great location, definitely within walking distance from Film Festival.

Satterlee: It’s written and directed by Bridey the music venues, and [we] try to schedule films Elliott. She comes from a pretty big family of at times when there’s not too much conflict with comedy talent. the music.

That’s right. Her sister is Abby Elliott from Saturday Night Live. Her dad is Chris Elliott [Schitt’s Creek, Late Show with David Letterman] and her grandfather was the late Bob Elliott, part of the legendary comedy team of Bob and Ray. Satterlee: We reached out to Bridey in Sundance, told her about Treefort and said, ‘You should really think about showing your movie in Boise.’ I want to tell you about one more film, Everything Beautiful is Far Away. It’s about a guy, a young woman, a robot…

You already have my full attention.

Satterlee: I know, right? ... The three of them are in search of a mythic lake in the middle of a huge desert. The film won cinematography awards at the Los Angeles and Tacoma film festivals and it won the Best Feature award at the Eastern Oregon Film Festival.

Allie, what can you tell us about the music video lab?

Morgan: It’s perfect for kids because it will be during spring break. On the first day, we’re learning camera angles and everything necessary in pre-production. We ask the kids where they want to shoot and then we set up full crews to shoot the footage in unique settings all around downtown. On the third day, it’s solid editing. It gets pretty crazy.

How good are the finished products?

Morgan: Even the kids who are brand new to shooting videos have some kind of access to technology already. And most of them already are somewhat familiar with iMovie, which is what they use to edit their music videos. They can pick up all the rest pretty quick.

And all of this folds into Treefort.

Morgan: It’s amazing because the final screening will be on the final day of the festival. Then, the kids come out and talk to the audience about their experiences. It’s a very Treefort thing to do.

Satterlee: We’re pushing for Filmfort to have the same kind of ethos as Treefort in highlighting emerging artists who are doing new, interesting things. It’s really all about discovery.

Can I assume this is all really hard work, but you really enjoy it?

Morgan: For one, Alex is amazing. He literally fights fires and then puts on a film festival.

I don’t know anyone with such a wide range of responsibilities.

Satterlee: And Allie is incredibly supportive and willing to do so many different, cool things.

And she’s so passionate. She’s a pillar to the Treefort group.

Morgan: And to think that Alex and I started out as Treefort interns a few years ago. It’s still really cool.

PAGE BREAK MINERVA’S BREAKDOWN $GYLFH IRU WKRVH RQ WKH YHUJH FUNNY FEELINGS

DEAR MINERVA, A friend of mine has started working in the adult film industry.

He’s gorgeous, but I had never thought about him in sexual terms before. I recently came across some of his work while online, and I feel strange seeing him like that. I didn’t hate it, but I feel a sort of guilt about it. I’m not sure that I approve of him doing this kind of work, but I’m also having some desire to see more of it. I don’t want it to change our friendship. What should I do?

Sincerely, Keep Scrolling

DEAR SCROLLING, I don’t know that you need to do anything. You say you aren’t sure you approve of him doing this kind of work. Keep in mind, he isn’t seeking your approval or permission to do with his body as he sees fit. Also, if you don’t approve of people working in the adult film industry, try not being a consumer of their products. You also don’t need to feel guilty about seeing his work. He has chosen this career. I doubt he’s naive enough to believe people he knows won’t see it. As for your desires to see more, that is up to you. As long as you are maintaining healthy boundaries within your relationship with him and continue to value and care about him as a person, you should be OK. Watch out for signs that it is too much, though.

Pornography can be addictive and can lead to other problems.

Now in its seventh edition, TMF 2018 promises to be bigger than ever, but with so many options, it’s easy to go from excited to overwhelmed in the time it takes to get between venues. The TMF app is clean, user-friendly and, best of all, free. It allows users to build a shareable schedule, see the fest at a glance on a Google map, coordinate with friends and even gauge lines for shows. Plus, it includes info and song samples for nearly all of the more than 400 musical artists, and shows the FREE, available for lineup, schedule and info on events, presenters, iOS and Android speakers and performers of the many other TMF branches: Alefort, Comedyfort, Filmfort, Foodfort, Hackfort, Kidfort, Storyfort and Yogafort.

While a spontaneous sweep through the sights and sounds of Treefort Music Fest definitely has its romantic appeal, using the app to add even a little structure can help alleviate indecision anxiety and create a worry-free experience.

ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): The British science fiction TV show Dr. Who has appeared on BBC in 40 of the last 54 years. Over that span, the titular character has been played by 13 different actors. From 2005 until 2010, Aries actor David Tennant was the magic, immortal time-traveling Dr. Who. His ascendance to the role fulfilled a hopeful prophecy he had made about himself when he was 13 years old.

Now is an excellent time for you, too, to predict a glorious, satisfying or successful occurrence in your own future. Think big and beautiful!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): New York City is the most densely populated city in North America. Its land is among the most expensive on earth; one estimate says the average price per acre is $16 million. Yet there are two uninhabited islands less than a mile off shore in the East River: North Brother Island and South Brother Island.

Their combined 16 acres are theoretically worth $256 million, but no one goes there or enjoys it.

It’s not even parkland. I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because I suspect it’s an apt metaphor for a certain situation in your life: a potentially rich resource or influence you’re not using. Now is a good time to update your relationship with it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The iconic 1942 movie Casablanca won three Academy Awards and has often appeared on critics’ lists of the greatest films ever made.

That’s amazing considering the fact that the production was so hectic.

When shooting started, the script was incomplete. The writing team frequently presented the finished version of each new scene on the day it was to be filmed. Neither the director nor the actors knew how the plot would resolve until the end of the process. I bring this to your attention, Gemini, because it reminds me of a project you have been working on. I suggest you start improvising less and planning more. How do you want this phase of your life to climax?

CANCER (June 21-July 22): If all goes well in the coming weeks, you will hone your wisdom about how and when and why to give your abundant gifts to deserving recipients—as well as how, when and why to not give your abundant gifts to deserving recipients. If my hopes come to pass, you will refine your ability to share your tender depths with worthy allies—and you will refine your understanding of when to not share your tender depths with worthy allies. Finally, Cancerian, if you are as smart as I think you are, you will have a sixth sense about how to receive as many blessings as you disseminate.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): How adept are you at playing along the boundaries between the dark and the light, between confounding dreams and liberated joy, between “Is it real?” and “Do I need it?” You now have an excellent opportunity to find out more about your capacity to thrive on delightful complexity, but I should warn you. The temptation to prematurely simplify things might be hard to resist. There may be cautious pressure coming from a timid voice in your head that’s not fierce enough to want you to grow into your best and biggest self, but here’s what I predict: You will bravely explore the possibilities for self-transformation that are available outside the predictable niches.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Cultivating a robust sense of humor makes you more attractive to people you want to be attractive to. An inclination to be fun-loving is another endearing quality that’s worthy of being part of your intimate repertoire. There’s a third virtue related to these two: playfulness. Many humans of all genders are drawn to those who display joking, lighthearted behavior. I hope you will make maximum use of these qualities during the coming weeks, Virgo. You have a cosmic mandate to be as alluring and inviting as you dare.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I suggest you gaze at exquisitely wrought Japanese woodcuts… and listen to jazz trumpeter Miles Davis collaborating with saxophonist John Coltrane… and inhale the aroma of the earth as you stroll through groves of very old trees.

Catch my drift, Libra? Surround yourself with soulful beauty—or else! Or else what? Or else I’ll be sad. Or else you might be susceptible to buying into the demoralizing thoughts that people around you are propagating. Or else you may become blind to the subtle miracles that are unfolding, and fail to love them well enough to coax them into their fullest ripening. Now get out there and hunt for soulful beauty that awakens your deepest reverence for life. Feeling awe is a necessity for you right now, not a luxury.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the Sikh religion, devotees are urged to attack weakness and sin with five “spiritual weapons”: contentment, charity, kindness, positive energy and humility. Even if you’re not a Sikh, I think you’ll be wise to employ this strategy in the next two weeks. Why? Because your instinctual nature will be overflowing with martial force, and you’ll have to work hard to channel it constructively rather than destructively. The best way to do that is to be a vehement perpetrator of benevolence and healing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In 1970, a biologist was hiking through a Brazilian forest when a small monkey, having jumped from a tree branch, landed on his head. Adelmar Coimbra-Filho was ecstatic. He realized his visitor was a member of the species known as the golden-rumped lion tamarin, which had been regarded as extinct for 65 years. His lucky accident led to a renewed search for the elusive creatures, and soon more were discovered. I foresee a metaphorically comparable experience coming your way, Sagittarius. A resource or influence or marvel you assumed was gone will reappear. How will you respond? With alacrity, I hope!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The Velcro fastener is a handy invention that came into the world thanks to a Swiss engineer named George de Mestral. While wandering around the Alps with his dog, he got curious about the burdock seeds that adhered to his pants and his dog. After examining the plants under a microscope, he got the idea to create a clothing fastener that imitated them. In accordance with the astrological omens, Capricorn, I invite you to be alert for comparable breakthroughs. Be receptive to help that comes in unexpected ways.

Study your environment for potentially useful clues. Turn the whole world into your classroom and laboratory. It’s impossible to predict where and when you may receive a solution to a long-running dilemma!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): On May 29, 1953, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay climbed to the top of Mount Everest. They were celebrated as intrepid heroes, but they couldn’t have done it without massive support. Their expedition was powered by 20 Sherpa guides, 13 other mountaineers and 362 porters who lugged 10,000 pounds of baggage. I bring this to your attention, Aquarius, in the hope it will inspire you. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to gather more of the human resources and raw materials you will need for your rousing expedition later this year.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Although her work is among the best Russian literature of the 20th century, poet Marina Tsvetaeva lived in poverty. When fellow poet Rainer Maria Rilke asked her to describe the kingdom of heaven, she said, “Never again to sweep floors.” I can relate. I once washed tens of thousands of dishes in restaurant kitchens to earn a living. Now that I’m grown up, one of my great joys is to avoid washing dishes. I invite you to think along these lines, Pisces. What seemingly minor improvements in your life are actually huge triumphs that evoke profound satisfaction? Take inventory of small pleasures.
