EDITOR’S NOTE YOU’D BETTER SIT DOWN While putting together this week’s news feature on sex trafficking in Idaho, I seriously considered the headline, “You Might Want to Sit Down Before Reading This.” I don’t think it will come as a surprise to most people that human trafficking has made its way to Idaho, but it’s a pretty sure bet that you’ll be as stunned as we were when you learn how prolific the sex trade has become in the Treasure Valley.

“Where are these young girls who have been victimized?

They’re in our neighborhoods. They’re attending schools with our kids,” Idaho Anti-trafficking Coalition Director Jennifer Zielinski told us. “They’re victims of trafficking through coercion or force, quite often by members of their own family.”

The coalition is planning a long-overdue training session, free to the public, for Tuesday, April 10, but you can learn more about the growing crisis in our story, “Trafficked,” on pages 6 and 7.

Speaking of personal crises, you can read our conversation with Elizabeth Smart on page 19. It has been nearly 16 years since Smart, then 14 years old, was abducted at knifepoint from her Salt Lake City home. Today, she’s a wife, mother of two and author of a new book.We also spoke with Lee Rainie, director of internet and technology research at the Pew Research Center, about “the future of truth” in advance of his talk at Boise State University— read more on page 22.

On a much happier note, Staff Writer Lex Nelson reports on her visit to Txikiteo, a restaurant/wine bar in the Linen District, on page 18. The eatery opened its doors on the ground floor of the Watercooler apartment building during Treefort Music Fest. Plus, Senior Staff Writer Harrison Berry has a preview of appearances from comedians Jay Mohr and Pauly Shore at Liquid Laughs on page 17.

Finally, check out our coverage of some high-profile film offerings that will fill the cineplexes in the coming weeks. Traditionally, springtime isn’t known for quality movies, but it appears that’s changing, what with the films Isle of Dogs and Solo: A Star Wars Story coming our way sooner than later.

LIVE COMEDY

IN-VLAD-ED

Shock troops blitzkrieg across the internet BILL COPE Given the almost daily revelations of how deeply we have been attacked—and for the sake of those people who have given little thought to what it means to be invaded by a hostile foreign power—perhaps we need to review the history of foreign invasions of American soil. For such a large, diverse and contentious nation, there have been remarkably few incidents of invasion on the homeland. (For our purposes here, I’m choosing to ignore the 500-year series of invasions that reduced the original denizens to tragic afterthoughts in a forced Europeanized hemisphere.

Excuse me, my Native American friends, but I have only so many words to make the case that a most perilous invasion of the United States in our history is happening right now! And this time, we—most of us, that is—are on the same side.)

In large part, our record of being invaded is so thin because we have been blessed with good—and few—neighbors. In the Old World, countries are stacked so closely you can’t lob a German strudel without it sticking to a French face. We are bordered by only two substantiallysized nations, and lots of ocean everywhere else.

(There is the clutter of islands off our southeastern corner, but those bite-sized sovereignties have suffered the constant brunt of our own invasionary fancies, and if any of them ever had an urge to launch an expedition to the coast of Florida or Texas, they managed to suppress it.)

Even after 250 years, we can count the breaches of American borders on less than one hand.

I’m starting from after the Revolutionary War, as at the time of that occupation, the U.S. was not a proper country, was it? We had no defining Constitution or settled organizing principles, not for another dozen years, therefore no real sense of unified identity. Besides, there were likely as many colonists in 1776 loyal to the king as there were dedicated to democratic principles.

The first—and undoubtedly the most unambiguous foreign hostility ever perpetrated on the continental U.S.—was during the War of 1812.

British troops marching into the capitol and burning it to the ground?...That’s pretty damned invasive. I’m not clear whether the invaders intended to upend our newly hatched democracy, but if that is true, it is the only invasion in our history—until recently—where the invaders meant to destroy the civic system our forebears worked so hard to build.

Neither the Texas Revolution nor the Mexican-American War were so much invasions of America as Americans doing the invading.

Only once did our southern neighbor ever get militarily aggressive on us, when Pancho Villa attacked a small border town in New Mexico B OI S E WEEKLY.C O M

(1916) with a small contingent of cavalry. But it seems Pancho was more interested in restocking his depleted supplies than on bringing down the U. S. Republic. And whatever else we might think of the traitors who tried to abandon our union during the Civil War in order to keep their infernal slave economy, I cannot consider them foreigners...as much as I’d like to.

Pearl Harbor wasn’t an invasion of U.S. soil as Hawaii, at the time, was not U.S. soil. (There was a significant Japanese incursion on two of the Aleutian islands in 1942. But again, Alaska wasn’t officially the U.S. for another 17 years.)

The attack on the Twin Towers certainly qualifies as a foreign invasion, but not all terrorist acts do. There are at least as many American citizens on the rolls of murderous terrorists as foreign nationals—especially if we include the Timothy McVeigh-type, disgruntled white guys—so we can’t say that it’s an invasion every time some idiot tries to blow up an airliner with his undershorts. However, one common factor shared by terrorists—be they ISIS sycophants or neo-Nazi grunts—is that they are out to destroy the America we know and love any way they can.

So what’s that leave us? If we restrict the terms of “invasion” to 1) foreigners attacking Americans or American institutions on our native soil, and 2) doing so for the purpose of tearing out the foundations of the political/cultural zeitgeist, then I count three bona fide invasions: the 1812 nastiness (maybe), the 9/11 horror (absolutely) and Vladimir Putin’s assault on the most fundamental element of our democracy—the vote.

Yet of those three unequivocal acts of foreign aggression, only one stands out for the total lack of action, or even voiced concern, from the person most seriously sworn to “preserve, protect and defend” the Constitution and the guiding principles it embodies. James Madison fought back in 1812. George W. Bush fought back (however ineptly) following 9/11. But Trump?...We can’t even be certain he knows about it, judging by his apparent lack of interest in the subject.

With the recent announcement by security agencies that the Russian incursions have reached well beyond the election apparatus—that they have hacked our power grid, transportation infrastructure and God knows what else—it would seem we have entered “existential threat” territory in our relations with the man Trump just congratulated on his “electoral win.”

One more thing must be said about the attack Putin has perpetrated on our nation: With so many homegrown collaborators in highly-placed positions, it appears we may have lost this one before we even realized war had been declared.

Idaho anti-trafficking coalition tackles escalating sex trade GEORGE PRENTICE “I understand the importance of good communication with your elected officials.”

BOISE COUNCIL AND MAYOR LAUNCH SERIES OF TOWN HALL MEETINGS

— George Prentice

6 | APRIL 4–10, 2018 | BOISEweekly

ADAM RO SENLUND

Affordable Housing. Public Safety. Parking. Public Transportation. Recycling. A New Library. A Downtown Circulator. A Downtown Sports Stadium. The list of hot topics at Boise City Hall is only growing longer, but Boise city officials will spend some more time away from their desks, inviting residents to a series of neighborhood town hall meetings.

The first will be held Wednesday, April 11, at Fire Station No. 4 at 8485 Ustick Road, from 7-9 p.m.

“In a survey that I sent out early in the year, many residents said that they’d like to hear from us through town halls, similar to how they hear from their legislators,” said Council President Lauren McLean. “We want to hold them throughout the city to make it more convenient for citizens to attend.”

City officials have set some town hall ground rules: Each citizen will be given three minutes, and the mayor and council will hear from as many citizens as time allows. In an official press release, the council insists, “As this is not a formal public hearing, participants are requested to avoid discussing items that are related to land use applications already submitted to the city.”

Simply put, the listening tour welcomes citizens to weigh in on the growing debate over measured growth, particularly when it comes to housing developments, but the council won’t comment on any particular project which is already in the pipeline and might require a council vote of approval.

“I’m excited to have these town hall meetings to hear directly from the citizens of Boise to learn what issues are on their mind[s] and the way that we can serve them better,” said Council President Pro Tem Elaine Clegg. “As a former neighborhood leader, I understand the importance of good communication with your elected officials.”

Future town hall meetings are scheduled for Wednesday, July 11, at the Collister branch of the Boise Library, and Wednesday, October 10, at the Hillcrest library branch.

It didn’t take Marie Voth long to count the number of what she said were suspicious posts advertising girls in Boise on backpage.com.

“There are 80 of them,” said Voth, the communications liaison for the Idaho Anti-Trafficking Coalition. “All I did was go to backpage. com, selected Idaho and selected Boise.”

A number of the ads promised “hot, young new girls,” and promoted the fact that they were “three minutes from the airport,” where there was ample space for “truck parking.”

Jennifer Zielinski, the IATC director, shook her head.

“And that number came after the federal law had been changed,” said Zielinski.

That change was to the Communications Act of 1934, which had previously allowed online services to be immune from liability for the actions of their users. The modification allows criminal and/or civil actions against a website if its conduct violates federal sex trafficking laws. Within hours, popular websites like Craigslist announced they would shutter personal ads for what had been called “adult services.” A statement on Craigslist read, “We can’t take such a risk without jeopardizing all our other services, so we are regretfully taking Craigslist personals offline.”

“The interesting thing is that Backpage also shut down its personals, but many of those ads were diverted to another page, usually under goods and services and/or massage,” said Voth.

The very idea of sex trafficking in Boise may be an enigma for some, but recent headlines have made it a front-page issue across the Treasure Valley. No fewer than 10 Southwest Idaho men were busted this month, accused of trying to arrange sex with minors. A sting operation led by the Idaho Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, which falls under the Office of the Attorney General, resulted in five men facing charges in Ada County court and five others charged in federal court. In a separate case, a teacher at Jefferson and Longfellow elementary schools in Boise was charged with attempting to have sexual contact with a 15-year-old girl.

absolutely not the case. I’ve worked with a lot of victims who have come from very influential or upper-middle class families. The majority of the time, predators are luring these kids as a love interest. That’s part of the grooming process these guys employ. What happens is that these teens are absolutely convinced that this guy they’ve never met is madly in love with them and wants to marry them. They actually run away to go live with this guy, later to find out they’re going to be sold.”

Any parent who doesn’t think it could happen to their child might want to check out the apps that have been downloaded to their children’s smartphones.

“Have you seen these?” asked Voth, pointing to a list of apps that, at first glance, look harmless. With titles like “AfterSchool,” “BurnBook,” “Gather,” “Tango,” and “Whisper,” many of the apps feature anonymous social networks, encouraging users to share photos or communicate with random strangers. One particularly chilling example, with the generic name of “Calculator,” has a seemingly innocuous icon that looks exactly like a calculator, but when the user opens the app and enters a private code, photos and videos begin appearing.

“It can start with chatting. But those chat rooms, where most everyone is anonymous, are Zielinski and Voth said the timing was ophotspots for predators,” said Zielinski. “Make portune for the first major IATC event, a free no mistake. Human trafficking in the United training session geared toward parents, students, caregivers, law enforcement and the general public States alone is a $9 billion annual industry.”

Zielinski only recently took over as the IATC called “Sex Slaves in Idaho Hide in Plain Sight.”

It’s set for the evening of Tuesday, April 10, at the executive director, but she has worked with vulnerable populations for years, chairing the Vineyard Boise Christian Fellowship.

“The response has been amazing: We have 600 Consortium of Idahoans with Disabilities and serving as program coordinator for Idaho Parents people coming so far,” said Zielinski.

Unlimited. Her advocacy is also very personal.

The major portion of the two-hour event will “My husband and I have an adopted daughter feature a presentation from Matthew Smith, executive director of the Idaho Falls-based nonprofit who was a foster child. She was a victim of sexual abuse in the first years of her life. Then Operation Shield. she was placed in residential care, but the “We’re typically working with kids in the husband and wife caring for those kids range of 11 to 17 years old that have been 9 had been sexually abusing the kids,” said trafficked,” said Smith. “A lot of people want Zielinski, who took a long breath before to believe that it’s just the poor kids, and that’s “We don’t often see prostitutes, if you want to call them that, walking up and down the streets here like you would see in major cities,” said Zielinski. “Where are these girls who have been victimized? They’re in our neighborhoods. They’re attending schools with our kids.

They’re victims of trafficking through coercion or force, quite often by members in their own families.”

“It’s important for homebuyers to make informed, but quick, decisions.”

KBOI-TV is one of dozens of Sinclair-owned affiliates that are towing the company line.

COURTING CONTROVERSY AT KBOITV IS NEWS BUT NOTHING NEW

BRIAN MILL AR The continued appearance of Boise on “Top 10 Places to Live” lists has sent the local real estate market into a tailspin. Sellers haven’t seen conditions this favorable in a long while, but buyers face a limited housing stock. According to the most recent RE/MAX housing report, the monthly supply of homes in Boise dropped about 18 percent between February and January, and has plummeted a whopping 33 percent in the past year.

“There’s a lot of demand out there for housing, particularly on the starter end,” said Ben Ayers, senior economist at Nationwide Insurance. “If Boise continues to follow the trends that we’re seeing across the rest of the country, there’s not enough building to keep up with demand.”

According to the Health of Housing Market Report put out by Nationwide, the average Boise home remained on the market for about 37 days in 2017, a span roughly a month shorter than the 67-day national average.

Meanwhile, the RE/MAX housing report indicates the actual number of homes on the market is continuing to decline. Boise RE/MAX broker Darrin Jaszkowiak said that’s mostly due to a high turnover in transactions.

“A lot of news articles that you’re seeing say there’s no inventory out there,” said Jaszkowiak.

“But that’s a little bit of [a] misnomer, because

The average Boise home remained on the market for about 37 days in 2017, a span roughly a month shorter than the 67-day national average.

there are actually a lot of transactions happening.

The overall inventory just isn’t staying put. Homes come on the market and they come off the market pretty rapidly. So, it’s important for homebuyers to make informed, but quick, decisions.”

The median price of homes for sale in Boise has also been steadily increasing over the past year, and is now up 12.75 percent to just over $250,000, according to RE/MAX. In terms of housing affordability, Ayers said he and his colleagues look at the growth of housing prices versus the growth of personal income. He added that the influx of new residents is also impacting costs.

“You’re seeing strong population and job growth, which feeds more and more demand for housing,” said Ayers. “A lot of those jobs are in higher-paying sectors like financial services and health care. With higher wages, more people are able to afford more homes, and that’s certainly having an impact on the market and the price structure.”

continuing. “I understand the need for comprehensive treatment [of ] significant mental health issues, particularly for severe abuse.”

Cari Moodie knows a thing or two about victims of abuse as well.

She’s a faith community nurse coordinator at St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center.

“I was at a conference in Michigan about a year and a half ago and there was a breakout session of human trafficking. It was a real ‘wow’ moment— that moment when you realize that it’s happening everywhere. Once you hear about it, your radar goes up,” said Moodie, who added she was anxious to network with others on the issue of sex trafficking in Boise. “I started chatting with friends about this, and it didn’t take long for me to reach out to Denise Ewing, our mission director at St. Al’s. Look, our mission is to serve people, to keep them safe. We’re going to do something about this.”

Zielinski said her organization is partnering with St. Al’s to create a model program of training and advocacy, helping prepare health care professionals to identify potential victims.

Many projects were put on hold during the recession, stalling the growth of home construction in Boise. Jaszkowiak said the housing inventory remained stagnant during that time.

“We had a deep recession, so we had a lot of gains to make up, which have largely been done,” said Jaszkowiak. “So, even though our growth has been robust, a lot of that is part of that recovery. We still have fairly good affordability for our area, compared to the median household income. Plus, we’re seeing a lot of greater diversity in neighborhoods, leading to a high quality of life.”

While there is concern for a shortage in housing and affordability, Ayers said there’s hope.

“Nationally we’re very optimistic [about] the the trends in housing,” he said. “We’re a little concerned about where house price growth is going, especially in markets like Boise, and what that’s doing to affordability, but generally we still see good trends on the demand side, which should still keep housing moving.”

“So many of these girls may be brought into clinics, say for treatment for an STD, but they’re not identified as possible victims. Typically, the child isn’t going to tell you they’re being trafficked, especially if their pimp is standing there next to them. But if we set up formal protocols to put up red flags, we might be able to get them to a safe room,” said Zielinski. “But then, there’s the bigger issue of having a safe place for them to stay.”

Which is why, she said, one of the next big goals for the coalition is to create a safe house where victims can find a path toward healing.

“We’ll be touring some existing safe houses in other states very soon, so we can envision our own safe house right here,” she added.

For the immediate future, Zielinski, Voth and Moodie say it’s all about informing the public that sex trafficking is a major issue here in Boise.

“I think we just sometimes live in a comfortable, and even naive, bubble,” said Zielinski. “But then you think of your own child. That’s when this becomes a very hot topic.”

Smack-dab in the middle of a recent news broadcast, KBOI-TV anchors Brent Hunsaker and Natalie Hurst looked into the camera with an earnestness usually reserved for dire news.

“The sharing of biased and false news has become all too common on social media,” said Hunsaker, who has been reading the news at the Boise CBS affiliate since 2014.

“This is extremely dangerous to our democracy,” added Hurst, a station veteran since 2005.

The message was far from a KBOI-TV exclusive. In fact, the script read by Hunsaker and Hurst was penned and approved by officials at the Maryland-based Sinclair Broadcast Group, owner/operator of KBOI-TV and more than 190 other televisions stations. It’s one of the largest broadcast conglomerates in the nation. Millions of viewers from coast to coast got the same “false news” broadcast from their own local anchors at Sinclair-owned stations.

“Unfortunately, some members of the media use their platforms to push their own personal bias and agenda to control exactly what people think,” said Hurst, continuing the statement echoed by nearly 200 other anchors.

In March, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer published a copy of the boilerplate script sent to each Sinclair station. Within days, dozens of Sinclair affiliates began towing the company line.

“They’re certainly not happy about it,” an employee of Seattle-based KOMO-TV, who asked to remain anonymous, told the Post-Intelligencer.

“It’s certainly a forced thing.”

This isn’t the first time that KBOI-TV has courted controversy. In March 2014, Boise Weekly reported that a news promo openly advocated for small government while deriding outsiders for “imposing their will” to fix Idaho health care. When BW asked then-KBOI-TV Vice President and General Manager Don Pratt about the message, he said he “didn’t have much to say” about the matter, and conceded that it was not the station’s intention “to create a spot that creates an impression of bias. But to the extent that we’ve done that, we’re obviously going to be held accountable.”

The 2014 spot on health care was pulled from the airwaves shortly thereafter, but the most recent spot on media bias continues to air on Sinclair outlets across the nation.

BEN & JERRY’S FREE CONE DAY

Ben & Jerry’s ice cream got its start in the ‘70s thanks to a $5 Penn State correspondence course and two hippies with a dream.

They were among the first—if not the first—ice cream makers to add big chunks of chocolate, marshmallow and more to their housemade ice creams, thanks to co-founder Ben Cohen’s inability to smell, which gives him a sharp appreciation for texture. The innovation won the founding duo appreciation nationwide, sparking a global ice cream empire. Now, the inventors of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream (yes, really) are giving back on Tuesday, April 10, with the return of the annual Free Cone Day, a thank-you gift to the community for keeping them in business since 1978.

Stop by the Ben & Jerry’s location on 10th Street to snag a free cone (or cup) of your favorite flavor.

Noon-8 p.m., FREE. Ben & Jerry’s, 103 N. 10th St., 208-3421992, benjerry.com.

BOISE FARMERS MARKET OPENING DAY

It’s been a long (if mild) winter, and we can’t be the only ones reminiscing about the days when we could buy fresh microgreens, local raw milk cheese and a bouquet of just-picked flowers all in one place. Luckily for locavores, the sun is shining and pollen is floating on the breeze again, which means the Boise Farmers Market is heading back to its outdoor spot at 10th and Grove streets. Saturday, April 7, is the official opening day of the market, and dozens of vendors will be there to greet customers in search of something good to eat. More than 20 vendors rotate through the market during its April to October outdoor run, and although attendance can be light in the first few weeks—much of the produce won’t pop up until later in the season—artisan bread, locally roasted coffee and just-made snacks will certainly be there to greet you.

9 a.m.-1 p.m., FREE. Corner of 10th and Grove streets, theboisefarmersmarket.com.

WERNER HERZOG DISTINGUISHED LECTURE

The Boise State University Distinguished Lecture Series has brought in plenty of bigwig politicians and authors in recent years, but this month will mark the first time it spotlights a filmmaker. The honor goes to Werner Herzog, whose nearly 60-year career as a documentary screenwriter, director and actor gives him a unique view of the topic for the night: “Fake News and Ecstatic Truth.”

“Herzog is a person who brings an alternative perspective to questions of nature and reality. His films are a commentary on what it means to be human,” wrote Honors College Dean Andrew Finstuen in a press release. “His body of work is so vast, almost anyone can find something to connect to.”

Learn where film and real life collide when you stop by to see Herzog live.

Despite the fact that he’s performed on major stages, including the Grand Ole Opry, since 2010 and just debuted his seventh top-10 single, country singer-songwriter Brett Eldredge has never headlined his own national tour—until now. Eldredge’s The Long Way Tour shares its name with his latest hit, “The Long Way,” which debuted on his most recent album, Brett Eldredge (Atlantic Nashville, 2017). Though his music is undisputedly country, Eldredge’s voice has more of an Americana lilt than a down-home twang, and he’s known as much for his thoughtful lyrics as his vocal prowess. “The Long Way” is a sharp contrast to the honky-tonk hookup songs that often pervade country stations, with sweet lyrics like, “You got a look that says you got it all together / So if you don’t mind, I’d like to know you better,” but the album doesn’t shy away from heartbreak either; the thunderous track “Cycles” is an addict’s anthem, lamenting the inevitable failure of an on-again-offagain relationship. If country is your jam, be sure to stop by Revolution to help send Eldredge off on tour.

THE GARDEN, THE OLYMPIC, APRIL 6

“Cryptophasia” is a language developed between twins that only the two of them can understand—broken down, the word literally means “secret speech.” The music from Orange County, California-based punk duo The Garden may be what grown-up cryptophasia sounds like; while listeners can understand the words, something about the tracks produced by twin brothers Wyatt and Fletcher Shears is still wonderfully, maddeningly obscure. The duo has been performing together since 2011, but began making music long before that based on a philosophy they call “Vada Vada,” which is defined in a press release as “an idea that represents pure creative expression, disregarding all previously made genres and ideals.” The publicist adds, “This is outsider music made from the inside.” Catch the pair performing tracks from their third and newest album, Mirror Might Steal Your Charm (Epitaph, March 30, 2018), to hear everything from chaotic guitar riffs to the background sounds of barking dogs.

STARTS FRIDAY, April 6 16 | APRIL 4–10, 2018 | BOISEweekly

For a lot of Boiseans, garages are for storing rec gear that’s often divided between winter sports like skiing and snowshoeing, and summer pastimes like kayaking, hiking, fishing and cycling.

As the outdoor-inclined start tuning up mountain bikes, roadies and cruisers for the warm months ahead, here are a few bike-related events to keep in mind: Wednesday, April 4: Military Reserve Bike Skills Park Open House The Military Reserve in North Boise is about to undergo a major renovation, and the public is invited to check out an open house for a planned bike skills park this week.

The design and construction of the park will be paid for by the J.A. and Kathryn Albertson Family Foundation, and its 6- to 7-acre expanse will include features like tracks and rollers. Several mock-ups of possible designs, inspired by similar parks around the country and conversations with stakeholders like the Southwest Idaho Mountain Biking Association and the Boise Bicycle Project, will be unveiled at the open house.

Boise Parks and Recreation Director Doug Holloway said having a bike skills park in an urban setting will be “really unique,” but the arrangement between the city and the Albertson Family Foundation will be the same as when the two partnered to revamp Rhodes Skate Park.

“We literally took the agreement for the skate park and turned it into a bike skills park,” he said.

The bike park will, however, displace several features of the Military Reserve, including the existing off-leash dog park. A replacement park will be built in the flood basin adjacent to the bike skills park, and Boise City Council has already allocated $250,000 for the project. Holloway said it will be completed before the skills park and be the largest dog park of its kind in Boise.

“We have some off-leash areas, but the only real dog park we have is at Morris Hill, and that’s

less than an acre in size. This will be four times that size,” he said.

The archery range will also be relocated, and Parks and Rec is committed to finding space for a new one, possibly elsewhere in the Military Reserve.

At the upcoming open house, city planners will show off preliminary designs for the park and solicit public feedback.

5:30-7:30 p.m., FREE. Dick Eardley Senior Center, 690 Robbins Road, Boise, parks.cityofboise.org.

Wednesday, April 11: Ada County Commissioners E-bike Public Hearing Ada County Commissioners are set to consider a proposed ordinance that will affect local e-bike users next week. The ordinance would allow e-bikes with top speeds below 20 miles per hour access to Ada County-owned sections of the Greenbelt, and restrict them from Ada Countyowned trails in the Foothills and private property.

The city of Boise adopted similar rules in December 2017 that regulate e-bikes with top speeds at or below 20 miles per hour on city streets, bike lanes and the Greenbelt. No e-bikes are allowed on sidewalks or in crosswalks. Some trails in the Foothills are available to e-bike riders who have obtained permission from Parks and Rec. Local retailers of e-bikes, however, were skeptical of the 2017 city plan at the time: Michael Miller of Boise Electric Bikes said pedal-assist technology will soon be so portable that e-bikes will be indistinguishable from rides powered by pedals alone, and such bikes are becoming more popular by the day.

“They’re not going away,” he said.

Regardless, whether they will be restricted is up to the ACC to decide.

Saturday, April 28: Lost Acres Motorcycle Park Season Opener For local bike buffs, the Lost Acres Motorcycle Park is nothing new. For the last 30 years, the dirt track cutting through the middle of a field on Can Ada Road near Melba has been one of the best motorcycle and quad spots in Canyon County. Three years ago, local pro riders discovered it and, impressed by its conditions, inspired the owners to obtain a conditional use permit from the county to turn it from a backyard amateur course into a professional one.

The inaugural LAMP event, the 2018 Lost Acres Season Opener, is slated for Saturday, April 28, and will be the first of 10 paid public events between April and October. It will include time trials in the morning and early afternoon, and a short track event later that evening.

Lost Acres features two dirt tracks—a .4-mile time trial course and a .2-mile racing oval for motorcycles and quads—that have turns in both directions, elevation changes and a jump. Racers can achieve speeds of up to 80 miles per hour on the straightaway, making it prime turf for competition and a quality spectator experience for hardcore fans and first-timers alike.

The event is open to the public, and those looking to show off their skills by participating in a race can register by email at lostacresmotorcyclepark@gmail.com or roll in early the day of the event to sign up.

9:30 a.m. signup, 11 a.m. practice. $10 gate fee, $25 entry fee for amateurs, $40 entry fee for pros.

BEERGUZZLER SPRING BREWS

EDGE BREWING SPRINGSHINE GOLDEN WHEAT ALE, $2.49—$2.99 A straw-colored ale, Springshine sports a two finger head with good persistence. This Boise-based brewery understands spring in the Northwest: sunshine and warm breezes one day, wind and freezing rain the next. With that in mind, its entry skirts the seasons with a bigger hop profile than you might expect, and bolder flavors on the palate.

Lots of juicy fruit flavors round things out—perfect for the seasonal shifts in Boise.

FIRESTONE LAGER, $1.59—$1.99 When Firestone Walker released its first lager in bottles back in 2000, its success was underwhelming, generating just so-so reviews. This release in cans should fare better.

A light, golden pour with a decent head, the aromas in this brew are a subtle mix of toasted grain and soft malt. The flavors follow suit in an easy-drinking, totally refreshing and sessionable brew.

REVISION BLONDE NV, $1.99—$2.49 A frothy head that leaves a nice lacing tops this bright golden ale. Sweet fruit aromas lead off, followed by yeasty bread dough and smooth malt. It’s a beautifully balanced effort, with a nice hit of fruity hops that plays well against the malt.

There’s a surprising and welcome intensity to the flavors, making it a great choice as we segue into spring.

L E X NE L SON

Spring at last! Time to put away those big, malt-driven brews, and switch to lighter lagers and ales. These are the beers you want to crush as a reward for mowing the lawn on a warm weekend afternoon, and while it’s a bit early for that, why not jump-start the season. Here are three new and worthy arrivals:

Txikiteo’s sparse ambiance is complimented by straightforward dishes like the five-meat charcuterie board (center) and bean salad (right).

CHEE-KEE-TAY-O

A new Boise tapas and wine bar offers fresh, simple fare LE X NEL SON The new wine, coffee and tapas bar Txikiteo in the Linen District takes the popular phrase “less is more” to new heights with its pared-down menu and rustic Basque fare.

Inside, the small restaurant space is spare, with unfinished concrete floors and an open kitchen directly behind the light wooden bar, giving guests an up-close view of their dishes in progress. Two walls of floor-to-ceiling windows lend the restaurant an indoor-outdoor feel, an impression accentuated on warm nights when the doors are left open, turning the outdoor tables clustered around fire pits on the sidewalk into a true extension of the indoor space. It also serves the dual function of letting sound escape, as the bare-bones space is prone to catching laughter and throwing it from wall to wall.

Txikiteo—pronounced “chee-kee-tay-o,” according to a tongue-in-cheek video posted by its sister restaurant The Modern Hotel and Bar—opened the week of Treefort Music Fest, and is now serving breakfast, lunch and dinner on the bottom floor of the Watercooler Apartment Building on Idaho Street. Managers Chef David King and Dan Ansotegui split the daily grind, though apart from breakfast the two serve many of the same menu items.

During dinner service, Ansotegui—a Boise restaurant veteran and Basque folk musician who started both the Basque Market and Bar Gernika—presides over a small staff of cooks and servers, who plate up elegant, rustic dishes like

braised lamb, serrano ham sandwiches, charcuterie and cheese boards, and simple tapas.

The dinner-only tapas range in price from $2-$3, and are centered on fresh vegetables, seafood and toasted slices of artisan bread. What you see on the menu is what you get: “sardine, lemon, chive on bread” is just that, although the name fails to capture the crunch of toast, the creamy zing of lemon spread or the oily, briny taste of the skin-on sardine sprinkled with bright green chives. The charcuterie board is another must-have, loaded with thin slices of serrano ham, traditionally-spiced chorizo Soria, mild lomo embuchado (dry-cured pork loin) and earthy smoked goose stagberry salami, as well as crumbling slices of liverwurst with the iron taste of offal but the consistency of good chocolate cake. The board also comes stacked with sweet and salty accoutrements, including pickled cauliflower florets, onions and mushrooms. The standout, though, was a mostarda made from cherries, apricots and figs cooked down in honey, white wine and mustard; its unexpectedly sweet punch was a welcome break for the palate after so many savory bites.

The bean salad made with two types of beans (white and green), arugula and creamy chevre was a close second in flavor impact with its bright, bold herb notes. Still, in the eyes of its creators the food at Txikiteo likely comes second to its selection of wine, coffee, cider and beer.

The eatery gets its name from the Basque word for an upscale wine-and-tapas pub crawl, so it’s

no surprise that Txikiteo has a short menu and a long wine list, with most bottles sourced from the Basque country or neighboring regions in France and Spain.

The 2015 Saenz-Olazabal “Gardacho” Garnacha, flown in from the Navarre region of the Basque Country, was a smooth red with lots of legs on the glass and a sharp, light bouquet. It paired well with the earthy cuts of charcuterie, while the 10-year Kopke NV Tawny Port—so sweet it was almost like maple syrup in the glass—was heady with bites of orange-infused chocolate mousse prepared by the pastry chef at The Modern and trucked in to Txikiteo daily.

Smaller versions of big-ticket items like the charcuterie and cheese boards are offered at a discount during the lunch hour ($12 versus $20, with three items instead of five), when additional sandwiches also make an appearance on the menu. In the morning, the restaurant opens at 7 a.m. to cater to Watercooler apartment residents, offering oatmeal and granola as well as truly Basque dishes like chorizo with polenta and egg alongside artisan coffee roasted by Form & Function.

Though restaurants often struggle to be all things to all people, with its variable price points and simple, straightforward dishes, Txikiteo may just succeed at establishing itself as both an in-and-out breakfast spot and an intimate dinner destination. Whether you have $6 or $60, there’s now another good place in Boise to spend it.

Myth of Happily Ever After, because there’s really no such thing as happily ever after. Maybe that sounds a bit cynical, but I thought, “No matter where you are in life, you’re going to have challenges. You’re going to have trials.

Life isn’t perfect. Happily ever after doesn’t really exist.”

Does happily ever after mean perfection?

Does it mean that nothing bad will ever happen again? Does it mean there’s no pain or suffering left in life? Because if that’s the case, I was absolutely right. Happily ever after didn’t exist.

I wanted to have a family. I wanted to go to college. I wanted to travel around the world. And then I looked at where I am today, and realized that I’m actually living my happily ever after.

I have two children who are the world to me.

I’m doing something that’s meaningful, and hopefully making a difference. So, yes, I am in fact living my happily ever after.

@IDAHOMADE

The Gene Harris Jazz Festival has been a staple of the Boise music scene for more than two decades, but as it heads into its 21st year, festival Director Dr. Derek Ganong said the nod to Boise jazz pianist Gene Harris’ legacy continues to evolve.

Ganong himself is a part of that change; he took over the job of Visiting Assistant Professor of Trumpet and Director of Jazz Ensembles at Boise State University in August 2017, when past director Alex Noppe left the post. A skilled trumpet player with a Doctorate of Music in jazz and classical trumpet from the University of Miami, Ganong said the Gene Harris Jazz festival was part of the reason he took the job and moved from Florida to Boise. “[The festival] was a big part of the interview,” said Ganong, “and that application was essentially them trying to scare me off, or at least make sure I knew what I was in for.”

While many popular features of the festival will

remain the same—including a Headline Concert at the Morrison Center on Friday, April 6, student workshops throughout the event and Club Night concerts Thursday, April 5, featuring jazz sets across a handful of downtown Boise venues, including The Owyhee, Simplot and JUMP—Ganong has put his own spin on the proceedings.

Many of the out-of-town acts are his friends and colleagues, and headliners Rosana Eckert (a renowned jazz vocalist, songwriter and arranger) and John Daversa (a three-time Grammy-nominated trumpet player) will not only perform, but also work one-on-one with BSU students.

“Our headline, big-name artists are also functioning as our judges and clinicians [this year], where in the past, those were—I don’t want to say less good people, but just less famous [ones],” said Ganong.

“The famous people would come in, play the headline concert and leave. But I really wanted this year to have those same people that are killing

it at the Morrison Center be the ones doing the workshops and the adjudicating.”

Both Eckert and Daversa said they’re excited to work with Boise students on what will be their first visits to the City of Trees. Daversa said he will even sit down for private lessons with students who’ve reached out to him, in addition to helping run several clinics.

“There are so many musicians that I know that I’m looking forward to seeing and playing with and hearing all of their music,” he said, “and Boise’s such a beautiful spot on the earth so I look forward to being there.”

The festival is set to take place Wednesday-Friday, April 4-6, and include more than a dozen visiting artists who will perform with local musicians.

Despite the changes made over the years, Ganong said he feels Gene Harris’ goal of bringing together jazz musicians of all ages, styles and backgrounds for “side-by-side experiences” is still a major pillar of the experience.

GEORGE PRENTICE The movie calendar has historically been divided into three sections: summer blockbusters, festival season (in the fall) and award season (winter). But more and more highprofile films are being released in the spring.

Maybe it’s because the spring marketplace has been so spare in years past, or maybe it’s because some studios want to get a jump on the uber-competitive summer season. Frankly, we don’t care. We’re just excited to see some of these films, which will be hitting the cineplex sooner than later: Isle of Dogs (April 13)—The buzz is spectacular over this latest stop-animation film from director Wes Anderson (The Grand Budapest Hotel, Moonrise Kingdom). The star-studded voiceover cast includes Bryan Cranston, Greta Gerwig, Jeff Goldblum, Frances McDormand and Bill Murray.

Avengers: Infinity War (April 27)— They’re back: Captain America, Iron Man, The Hulk, Thor and Black Widow will join new kids on the block Black Panther and the team from Guardians of the Galaxy.

Lean on Pete (April 27)—We were lucky to see this charmer about thoroughbred horse B OI S E WEEKLY.C O M

racing last fall at the Toronto International Film Festival, and we think you’ll love it as much as we did.

Overboard (May 4)—Depending on how you felt about the original 1987 rom-com starring Goldie Hawn, you may end up loving or loathing this remake, this time starring Anna Faris.

Tully (May 4)—Director Jason Reitman and writer Diablo Cody (Juno) reteam for this dramedy starring Charlize Theron and Mark Duplass.

Solo: A Star Wars Story (May 25)— Oscar-winning director Ron Howard joins the Star Wars universe with this origin story of Han Solo. Social media trolls have been losing their minds over this one.

C OURTESY L E E R AINIE

CITIZEN LEE RAINIE

On breaches, bots and “The Future of Truth” GEORGE PRENTICE

The title of Lee Rainie’s lecture at the Boise State University Special Events Center on Monday, April 2, is heady stuff: “The Future of Truth.” Rainie was a veteran journalist before he joined the Pew Research Center, a Washington, D.C.-based nonpartisan think tank, in 2000. Director of its Internet and Technology branch, Rainie is one of the first to get a look at sought-after polling and analysis on hotbutton issues.

“I have the best job in the world,” said Rainie. “I’ve studied the most interesting and important stories of our age, including the rise of the internet.”

President Donald Trump’s insistence that any report that challenges him is “fake news” has had a major impact on Rainie’s job, and he now spends an increasing amount of time drilling into the public view of facts and trust.

Prior to Rainie’s appearance at BSU on April 2 and the related BSU Media Literacy Symposium on Wednesday, April 11, he chatted with Boise Weekly about the recent Cambridge Analytica scandal, the future of Facebook and sampling what he calls “big data.”

Let’s talk about “The Future of Truth.”

Just after the 2016 [presidential] election, we did a survey about how people were feeling about fake news, and 64 percent of Americans said fake news makes it hard for the public to figure out what’s going on in public life. There’s a personal dimension to this, because 26 percent of Americans have had false information about them posted online. It’s not just a fact of policy or politics; it’s a fact of life at a very intimate level.

That said, it’s still my understanding that more Americans than ever are spending a good amount of time online, and some of them are online constantly.

Yes, we just put those numbers out. It’s a paradox in some sense. Even if people express concern, they remain very active on the internet.

So if I’m Joe Average I’m inclined to think that I’m not the problem, because I think I’m immune to fake news, but I’m very worried about everyone else who isn’t?

That’s exactly what we found in our research. There’s a near-universal concern about this, but people think they’re immune. In other “ THE RE’ S A words, “Yes, I can figure out the truth, but it’s all N E A R- U N IVE RSAL those other knuckleheads who are susceptible.”

C O NC E RN ABO U T

How might you describe what you do for a living to a stranger?

22 | APRIL 4–10, 2018 | BOISEweekly

Speaking of push-me, pull-you, your job by definition is not to advocate. Do a lot of people still ask you how we might solve this dilemma?

I don’t give personal recommendations.

I would be fired for doing that. But it’s important to note that this is not the first time in human history that big disruptions [have] occurred in cultures because of changing information environments. One of the classic examples of an information revolution that deeply disrupted the world was the rise of the printing press in the middle of the 15th century. There was a lot of fake news when the printing press came into being. People who believed in witchcraft or the occult, things like that, found new ways to use those tools to promote their ideas.

Didn’t the rise of a better-educated public curb that particular chapter of fake news in our history?

Exactly. In the 17th century, particularly in Europe and North America, there was a greater emphasis on children going to school to become good citizens and get smart about navigating the world, because the world was getting more complicated.

Can you speak to the paradox that a good number of Pew Research studies become big news and are reported by major news organizations, yet some people spin your results in one direction or another to serve their own purposes?

We want people to pay attention to our work; and yes, we get a lot of coverage in the news media. It’s a challenge for us, in the same way it’s a challenge for you, to break through all the noise to get good, rock-solid material in front of people. My life is in many ways parallel to yours. We’re in a very competitive marketplace of ideas and news, and we’re still learning about when people want their information and how they digest it.

PAGE BREAK MINERVA’S BREAKDOWN Advice for those on the verge WHAT’S THE BUZZ? DEAR MINERVA,

I am looking for an ecologically sound way to dispose of or recycle sex toys. Can you help me?

Sincerely, Buzzy Body

DEAR BUZZY,

A quick internet search and some digging around, unfortunately, didn’t satisfy these needs, especially in our area. The United Kingdom has a company called Lovehoney that offers a recycling program for toys, but after chatting with one of their reps, I learned they don’t offer the program through their U.S. store. I couldn’t find any other reputable sites offering a recycle program. My advice would be to call around to recycling facilities.

If you’re disposing of vibrators, consider them home electronics since they have coils and other parts that need special handling.

If it’s just silicone or plastic based sex toys like dildos, ask if facilities will process them. I wouldn’t recommend just tossing them into the garbage though; Mother Nature may have many needs, but I doubt your intimate castoffs will tickle her fancy. There are several different companies out there offering “green toys” that are better for the environment. Despite being a multi-billion dollar per year industry, sex toys are largely unregulated. Compounds banned from cosmetics and children’s toys are still present in adult toys. Once you dispose of what you have, invest in an ecofriendly toy that is built to pleasure you for a lifetime.

SUBMIT questions to Minerva’s Breakdown at bit.ly/MinervasBreakdown or mail them to Boise Weekly, 523 Broad St., Boise, ID 83702. All submissions remain anonymous.

FIND THE RIDGE TO RIVERS FACEBOOK PAGE

If there are two words that can raise the hackles of Boise hikers, runners and mountain bikers, they’re “trail conditions.” If the singletrack is too muddy or if patches of snow linger next to the trail, that can be the difference between a blissed-out day in the Foothills and shambling home in defeat. There have been many attempts at posting trail conditions for the Boise Foothills, but the Ridge to Rivers Facebook page updates are undoubtedly among the best, as they offer no-nonsense, plain-English reports, plus useful trail tips and suggestions daily. Here’s a recent excerpt: “You will find mostly dry trail conditions today, with a few persistent puddles and short sections of mud. Please travel through these, not around them so as not to widen the trails.”

If rain is in the forecast or there’s scheduled maintenance on the paths, the Ridge to Rivers administrator will point users to alternatives or suggest “protocols” to help folks make the most of the trail system. With Ridge to Rivers instantly accessible on your smartphone, it will be that much easier to plan your first hike this spring.

ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Eighty-three-year-old author Harlan Ellison has had a long and successful career. In the course of publishing hundreds of literary works in seven different genres, he has won numerous awards. But when he was in his thirties, there was an interruption in the upward arc of his career. The film production company Walt Disney Studios hired him as a writer. During his first day on the job, Roy Disney overheard Ellison joking with a coworker about using Disney characters in an animated pornographic movie. Ellison was fired on the spot. I am by no means predicting a comparable event in your life, Aries. On the contrary. By giving you this heads-up, I’m hoping you’ll be scrupulous and adroit in how you act in the early stages of a new project—so scrupulous and adroit that you will sail on to the next stages.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Are you an evolving Taurus or an unevolving Taurus? Are you an aspiring master of gradual, incremental progress or a complacent excuse-maker who secretly welcomes inertia? Will the theme of your next social media post be “The Smart Art of Compromise” or “The Stingy Glory of Stubbornness”? I’m hoping you will opt for the former rather than the latter in each of the three choices I just offered. Your behavior in the coming weeks will be pivotal in your long-term ability to animate your highest self and avoid lapsing into your mediocre self.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you fly in a passenger jet from New York to London, the trip usually takes more than six hours. But on January 8, 2015, a powerful jet stream surging across the North Atlantic reduced that time significantly. With the wind’s extra push, several flights completed the trip in five hours and 20 minutes.

I suspect you’ll have comparable assistance in the course of your upcoming journeys and projects, Gemini. You’ll feel like the wind is at your back.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Actor Keanu Reeves’ career ascended to a higher level when he appeared as a lead character in the film Speed. It was the first time he had been a headliner in a bigbudget production, but he turned down an offer to reprise his starring role in the sequel, Speed 2.

Instead, he toured with his grunge band Dogstar and played the role of Hamlet in a production staged by a local theater company in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I admire him for being motivated more by love and passion than by fame and fortune. In my estimation, Cancerian, you face a choice that in some ways resembles Reeves’, but in other ways doesn’t. You shouldn’t automatically assume that what

your ego craves is opposed to what your heart yearns for and your soul needs.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A Leo sculptor I know is working on a 40-foot-long statue of a lion. Another Leo friend borrowed $30,000 to build a recording studio in her garage so she can pursue her quixotic dream of a music career. Of my other Leo acquaintances, one is writing a memoir of her time as a black-market orchid smuggler, another just did four sky dives in three days, and another embarked on a long-postponed pilgrimage to Slovenia, land of her ancestors. What about you? Are there any breathtaking challenges or smart gambles you’re considering? I trust you can surf the same astrological wave.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): How sexy is it possible for you to be? I’m referring to authentic soulstirring sexiness, not the contrived, glitzy, counterfeit version. I’m alluding to the irresistible magnetism that wells up in you when you tap into your core self and summon a reverent devotion to your life’s mission. However sexy it is possible for you to be, Virgo, I suggest you unleash that magic in the coming weeks. It’s the most reliable strategy for attracting the spiritual experiences, material resources and psychological support you need.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): According to my analysis of the cosmic omens, your impact is rising. You’re gaining influence. More people are tuning in to what you have to offer. And yet your stress levels also seem to be increasing. Why is that? Do you assume that having more power requires you to endure higher tension? Do you unconsciously believe that being more worried is the price of being more responsible? If so, banish that nonsense. The truth is this: The best way to manage your growing clout is to relax into it—and that’s the best way for you to express it, too.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The immediate future will challenge you to revisit several fundamental Scorpio struggles. For best results, welcome these seeming intrusions as blessings and opportunities, and follow these guidelines: 1.

Your control over external circumstances will increase in direct proportion to your control over your inner demons. 2. Your ability to do what you want will thrive to the degree that you stop focusing on what you don’t want. 3. Your skill at regulating and triumphing over chaos will be invincible if you’re not engrossed in blaming others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I’m about to say things that sound extraordinary. It’s possible that they are in fact a bit overblown, but even if that’s the case, I trust that

there is a core of truth in them. So rejoice in their oracular radiance.

First, if you have been hoping for a miracle cure, the next four weeks will be a time when you’re more likely than usual to find it or generate it. Second, if you have fantasized about getting help to address a seemingly irremediable problem, asking aggressively for that help now will lead to at least a partial fix. Third, if you have wondered whether you could ever retrieve a lost or missing part of your soul, the odds are more in your favor than they’ve been in a long time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The French government defines books as an “essential good,” along with water, bread, and electricity. Would you add anything to that list of life’s basics?

Companionship? Stories? Deep sleep? Pleasurable exercise and movement? Once you identify your “essential goods,” I invite you to raise the level of reverence and care you give them. Take an oath to treat them as holy treasures.

Boost your determination and ability to get all you need of their blessings. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to enhance your appreciation of the fundamentals you sometimes take for granted.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Buckingham Palace is the home and office of the Queen of England. It has been the main royal residence since Queen Victoria took the throne in 1837, but in earlier times, the site served other purposes. The 17th-century English lawyer Clement Walker described the building occupying that land as a brothel, a hotbed of “debauchery.” Before that the space was a mulberry garden where silkworms turned mulberry leaves into raw material for silk fabrics. I see the potential for an almost equally dramatic transformation of a certain place in your life, Aquarius. Start dreaming and scheming about the possibilities.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Poet Carolyn Forche is a role model for how to leave one’s comfort zone. In her early career, she earned writing degrees at placid universities near her childhood home in the American Midwest.

Her first book mined material about her family; its first poem is addressed to her grandmother.

But then she relocated to El Salvador, where she served as a human rights advocate during that country’s civil war. Later, she lived and wrote in Lebanon at the height of its political strife. Her drive to expand her range of experience invigorated her poetry and widened her audience. Would you consider drawing inspiration from Forche in the coming weeks and months, Pisces? I don’t necessarily recommend quite so dramatic a departure for you, but even a mild version will be well rewarded.
