LOOKING AHEAD We’ve got plenty for you to read up on this week, from the changing landscape of the Boy and Girl scouts to the upcoming season at the Idaho Shakespeare Festival and gourmet french fries. We’re also busy tallying all of the votes for this year’s Best of Boise. There are plenty of surprises, but you’ll have to wait until our special issue comes out Wednesday, May 30, to find out the winners. We think that calls for a bit of celebration, which is why on Saturday, June 2, we’ll host our epic block party, The Big Le Boise, from 1-7 p.m. Live music, street performances, craft vendors and plenty of food and cocktails will fill our Broad Street block throughout the afternoon, so circle the date on your calendar now. In more immediate coverage, we explore the big news at the Boy Scouts of America in this issue, including a name change and a decision by the Mormon Church to cut its ties with the BSA. We examine how all of that impacts the local Boy Scout chapter on page 6 (hint: it’s a huge game-changer). Plus, in the wake of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission’s recent ruling allowing Idaho Power to begin segregating customers who generate solar electricity, Senior Staff Writer Harrison Berry updates us on the Solarize the Valley program, also on page 6. Ben Schultz sits down with a founding member of the rock group Chrome who still aims to “keep it weird” on page 17, and on page 18 Staff Writer Lex Nelson talks with activist Amy Pence-Brown prior to the Wednesday, May 30, screening of the provocative film, Fattitude. Speaking of provocative films, I have a preview of the new movie Disobedience, starring Rachel Weisz and Rachel McAdams, on page 19. Then, ISF’s producing artistic director Charlie Fee walks us through the first two productions of his festival’s season under the stars on page 20. Finally, we visit the enormous kitchen at Jack’s Urban Meeting Place to preview JUMP’s next so-called “community dinner,” which features some out-of-this-world french fries, on page 22. Turn the page to feast your eyes.

MAIL WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THE HOUSING CRISIS? More than 11 million families now spend the majority of their income on rent, and family and young adult homelessness rates are rising in many communities. According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition, the average person making minimum wage in Idaho must work over 62 hours to afford a modest onebedroom apartment, for an average rent of $784—out of reach for many. That doesn’t even include the additional expenses that affect housing affordability, such as utilities, transportation and distance from work. But there’s housing assistance, right? Well, three out of every four families in need of housing assistance are turned away due to a lack of funding. Last year, advocates and Congressional champions secured a 10-percent increase to federal investments in affordable housing, but President Trump’s budget slashes affordable housing by $11 billion–a move that will likely increase homelessness and housing poverty. Although Boise has plenty of housing units for people who qualify for assistance—those earning 80 percent or less of median income—the Treasure Valley is a whopping 12,000 housing units short of what is needed for “very low income” (earning 50 percent or less of median income) or “extremely low income” (earning 30 percent or less of median income). Many people who actually get assistance in the form of housing vouchers then face

landlords who refuse to rent to them. Many of these people are veterans. Why does housing affordability matter? Sociologist and author of Evicted, Matthew Desmond, says, “the rent eats first,” so families are forced to skimp on groceries, medical care and other basic needs. When people have safe homes that they can afford, they are better able to find and maintain employment, achieve economic mobility and stay in good health. Kids have more success in school and life, and seniors have an opportunity to live and grow with independence and dignity. Towns, neighborhoods and schools benefit from the increased sense of community. Increasing and preserving affordable homes helps people climb the economic ladder, leading to stronger communities and bolstering economic productivity and job creation. What can you as an individual, business owner/ manager or corporation do? Talk to your city, county and state lawmakers and to candidates in this election year. Demand that they support legislation to make it illegal for landlords to reject a veteran’s application for housing simply because the veteran would pay his/her rent with a federal voucher. Demand an increase in minimum wage. Demand they fund the Idaho Housing Trust Fund. Be a YIMBY. That stands for Yes In My Backyard. In other words, welcome and support development, remodeling, zoning changes, etc. that might bring lower income housing to your

neighborhood. It won’t reduce the value of your property, but rather will increase it. And your neighborhood will thrive with more diversity. Support common sense approaches that might increase the density of your neighborhood. Studies show this is good for cities. (Remember, Boise is on a monumental growth trend, so we might as well accept density now, or we will end up with sprawl, which contributes to more use of cars, more pollution, more highway maintenance, more law enforcement and more increases in housing costs). Get your neighborhood association involved in the issue. It will affect everyone, and associations need to be in communication with the city/county/state and with developers to make contact on behalf of neighborhoods for YIMBY initiatives. Support groups [that promote] innovative housing solutions such as land ownership for mobile home residents, small footprint housing, using alternative materials and technologies in homebuilding (such as shipping containers), or increasing density in creative ways. Join the Boise/Ada County Housing Coalition to advocate and educate about ways to end homelessness. If you or your organization works with low income, housing insecure populations, attend our PUSH Expo on Thursday, May 31. We must continue to make a bold and sustained commitment to ensure that everyone has safe, accessible and affordable housing. When we invest in affordable homes, we invest in people, our communities, and America as a whole— from increased employment and economic mobility to improved health and better education. —Peg Richards and Neysa Jensen, President and Vice President, Boise/Ada County Homeless Coalition BOISEweekly | MAY 16–22, 2018 | 5

NEWS A BIGGER TENT

In the last two years, 109 homeowners and businesses have installed solar panels through Solarize the Valley.

SOLARIZE THE VALLEY RETURNS FOR THIRD YEAR DESPITE MARKET WOES Looking at recent headlines, one might think the value of home solar power generation in Idaho is slipping. “You have a lot of uncertainty in the solar industry in the last year, between tariffs ... proposed by the Trump administration and then Idaho Power’s effort to change the net metering program,” said Wendy Wilson, executive director of Snake River Alliance. Despite that, SRA is rolling out its Solarize the Valley program for the third straight year. Between 2016 and 2017, approximately 1,000 people signed up for free solar panel assessments at their homes and businesses. Of that number, 109 home and business owners moved forward to installations. This year, news about a federal tax overhaul and a White House push for tariffs have stirred up doubts about the market. While the tax bill Trump signed into law in late 2017 largely preserves tax credits for home renewable energy generation, there was still a 3.8-percent drop in U.S. solar industry employment. The President’s proposed 30-percent tariff on imported solar panels, many of which are made in China, could also shock demand. Adding to the market shakeup was the May 9 Idaho Public Utilities Commission ruling on net metering. The ruling puts Idaho Power’s customers who generate some or all of their own electricity in a separate class from those that draw only from the electrical grid. There was outcry from environmental groups: Sierra Club Idaho Director Zack Waterman wrote in a release that it “is premature and may limit customers’ right to offset their own electricity usage without being charged higher rates for electricity consumed from the grid.” The PUC ruling added that more study is needed before Idaho Power makes price changes to net metering, and Wilson noted other developments that might affect the industry have yet to land. She hopes to see 300 people get assessments and 30 receive installations in 2018. A workshop is scheduled for Wednesday, May 23, at Altenergy Inc. in Garden City, as is an open house at the home of solar ambassadors Paul and Christine Hatab at 2001 N. 18th St. in Boise. —Harrison Berry 6 | MAY 16–22, 2018 | BOISEweekly

Girl Scouts fret over Boy Scouts welcoming girls into their ranks; Boy Scouts prepare for a break from the LDS church GEORGE PRENTICE The pushback was immediate, taking David Kemper, CEO of the Ore-Idaho Council of Boy Scouts of America, by surprise. “They thought it was the end of the world. Some said it shook the Boy Scouts to its very core,” said Kemper, whose council encompasses hundreds of Cub and Boy Scout packs and troops spread over 14 counties in southwest Idaho and eastern Oregon. Kemper wasn’t talking about the Boy Scouts of America’s recent name-change announcement or its decision to accept girls. Instead, he was referring to 1988, when the BSA said it would begin recruiting women into leadership positions, including scoutmasters, ending a male-only policy. At the time, Kemper had just joined the BSA executive ranks in a Chicago suburb following a previous career in accounting. He went on to assume other BSA executive roles in West Virginia, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, in that order, and ultimately assumed the top job at the Ore-Idaho council in 2006. “Right now, we have about 14,000 kids in more than 550 packs or troops in the Ore-Idaho Council,” he said. While Kemper has helped manage a number of previous changes in the last 30 years, none has been more dramatic than the most recent developments, including the decision to change the organization’s name next February from the Boy Scouts of America to Scouts BSA. The move comes in the wake of the program’s other major decision: to include young women in its ranks for the first time. “Think for a moment of the scout pledge: ‘A scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, etc.’ It doesn’t say, ‘A male scout is trustworthy, loyal and helpful,’” said Kemper. “Now, think of today’s families. They’re more complex. There’s really no reason that our program simply fits a boy or a girl. There’s nothing that they all can’t do. Girls want to go camping, they want to shoot, they want to climb, they want to hike, they want that outdoor adventure that is the main core of what the Boy Scouts have always been about.”

Eighty percent of the Ore-Idaho Council of the Boy Scouts of America is chartered or sponsored by the Mormon Church. The local CEO said, “We’ve got some behind-the-scenes operational changes to make.”

None of the packs or troops in the Ore-Idaho council include girls yet, but Kemper expects the change to happen in early 2019. “We want to do it right, so we took our time. Each chartered organization can decide how they want to be structured,” he said. To be clear, Kemper said each Cub and Boy scout pack or troop that accepts girls will create separate sub-divisions, with a group for boys and a separate group for girls. Boise City Councilwoman Holli Woodings, who also happens to be the board chair of Girl Scouts of Silver Sage, which includes about 3,700 girls in central and southern Idaho, has one main question about the Boy Scouts’ recruitment of girls: Why? “Why would they do this? I think it really devalues the role of single-gender environments when kids are exploring things like STEM or taking risks in the outdoors,” said Woodings. “Girl Scouts have known how to do this for 106 years. We have all the best research, really keeping us up to date on making our program relevant. And now we have this competing organization? We have always served girls and we always will serve girls. This is where girls can really get out of their regular societal box and take risks, doing something they wouldn’t necessarily do in other mixed-gender environments.” Woodings, who joined the Girls Scouts when she was in the fourth grade, isn’t the only scout on the Boise City Council. Fellow councilwoman Lisa Sanchez said she’s also a proud Girl Scout and remains active in the organization. “People like astronaut Barbara Morgan and Idaho State Senator Cherie Buckner-Webb—we’re all Girl Scouts,” said Woodings. “What the world

needs now is more women leaders and Girl Scouts is the organization that starts building those leaders.” While the Girl Scouts consider the real possibility of losing some of their ranks to what they see as a “competitor,” the Boy Scouts have to grapple with a dilemma of their own: the stunning May 8 announcement from the Mormon Church that it will end its 100-year relationship with BSA. “Eighty percent of our membership in the Ore-Ida Council is chartered or sponsored by the LDS church,” said Kemper, adding that the Boy Scouts were expecting the announcement, but were caught off guard by its timing. “Here in our region, I can tell you that yes, we’re obviously going to be serving less kids. Our council will need to transform from the way we look today to looking more like [what] other Boy Scout councils look like, say back on the East coast. Here in southern Idaho, we serve a higher density of kids in packs and troops sponsored by the LDS church. That’s going to change.” Kemper said his organization will spend the better part of the next year—the LDS church said it will officially cut ties in December 2019— organizing new units to replace existing LDSsponsored troops. “It’s just going to take us some time. We’ve got some behind-the-scenes operational changes to make,” he said. “That said, it’s an interesting time for us because we’ll be organizing new dens and packs for girls. Sisters want to compete with their brothers to do the same things, and parents want their daughters to do some of the same activities their sons are doing. I think it will be exciting going forward.” BOISE WEEKLY.COM

RUSSIAN FOOD FESTIVAL

PRIDEFEST YOUTH DIVERSITY PROM

Compared to more popular cuisines like French, Italian and Japanese, Russian food may not have the best reputation in the U.S.—but if you hear someone bashing it, it’s likely they’ve never had the real thing. In Boise, the annual Russian Food Festival hosted by St. Seraphim of Sarov Orthodox Church is the place to go for authentic tundra eats, and this weekend is your chance to check it out. Apart from plenty of food—including beef Stroganoff; piroshki ﬁlled with everything from meat to apples; honey cake and vodka balls—there will be live Russian music and an opportunity to meet local religious iconographer Matthew Garrett. Preparations are already well underway; don’t miss the chance to chow down. Friday: 11 a.m.-9 p.m.; Saturday: 11 a.m.-8 p.m., St. Seraphim of Sarov Orthodox Church, 872 N. 29th St., 208-345-1553, stseraphimboise.org/festival.html.

This year’s edition of Boise Pridefest won’t take over the town until mid-June, but that hasn’t stopped its organizers from pregaming with a handful of other LGBTQ friendly events. Before the 29th year of festivities kicks off, join the people behind Boise Pridefest and special guest Alyssa Edwards (of RuPaul’s Drag Race fame) for a prom night spectacular with the theme “A Night Under the Circus Top.” The Youth Diversity Prom will feature food, drinks and plenty of entertainment as well as the usual dancing.

LUNAFEST BOISE Luna is the branch of the Clif Bar company dedicated to supporting women: It does everything from sponsoring workshops to publishing tips for closing the wage gap. It’s only fitting, then, that Luna is teaming up with Soroptimist International of Boise to put on Lunafest, a traveling film festival screening a slate of nine short films “by, for, and about women.” Some of the films are animated, others are first-person accounts, but all of them are meant to empower and inspire, from Emily Sheskin’s Jesszilla, the story of 10-year-old boxer Jesselyn Silva, to Waiting For Hassana by Funa Maduka, which follows a Nigerian woman’s escape from the Boko Haram. Stick around after to discuss the films, drink wine, graze on snacks and participate in a raffle. Men are welcome, too. 12:30 p.m., $10-$20. The Flicks, 646 W.

CURSE LEAGUE, FUNKY TACO, MAY 18 Less than a month from its soft opening, The Funky Taco’s brick-and-mortar location in downtown Boise has found its rhythm. Billed as a music venue as well as a mixed-culture taco joint, the space has started to pull in acts to its second-ﬂoor stage. Next in the lineup is Curse League, an indie band out of Seattle that blends emo and math rock to produce a sound softer than both. Its music, as emphasized on its most recent album, Laying by the Fire in Good Company (self-released, 2018), is curated chaos, a jumble of notes woven just tightly enough to become song. Tracks like “Burrero” alternately burble and rage, but are at no point uninteresting. Stop by The Funky Taco to get to the bottom of the intrigue. —Lex Nelson With Laika The Dog, and Cactus Coy. 9 p.m., $5. The Funky Taco, 801 W. Bannock St., 208-991-4106, thefunkytaco.com.

COURTESY PALLBEARER

BRAIN BAGZ—With Ten High, Marquina and Non-Fiction. 7 p.m. $5. Neurolux

If Pallbearer were a kid, it would be a moody 10 year old at play in all-black clothes, but keeping an intelligent eye on the world. Yes, the band is a decade old this year, but that isn’t the only fuel for the metaphor. The group’s third album, Heartless (Profound Lore/Nuclear Blast, 2017), is a solid reprisal of its 2012 hit Sorrow and Extinction (Profound Lore)—named the year’s best metal album by Rolling Stone—and captures an unexpectedly mature balance, pairing raucous doom-laden choruses with melodic pauses. The echoing vocals exist in a space apart from the music, and the whole album comes off as a carefully choreographed heavy metal ballet. Record Exchange will be Pallbearer’s only Boise stop, and if the set doesn’t convince you on the trip, the meet-and-greet and album signing should. —Lex Nelson 4 p.m., FREE.

SCREEN THE BEAUTY OF BIG Fattitude aims to spread body positivity and fat acceptance in Boise LE X NEL SON The body-positive documentary Fattitude doesn’t pull any punches. The mission page of the film’s website begins: “Did you know that fat people are paid $1.25 less an hour than their thin counterparts? Or that a fat person who excels can still legally lose a job just because s/he’s fat? How about the reality that one in three doctors associate fat bodies with hostility, dishonesty and poor hygiene? Fat people are subject to discrimination everywhere they look.” For local body positivity activist Amy PenceBrown, creator of the radically feminist support group the Boise Rad Fat Collective, these are must-hear messages. That’s is why she’s been monitoring the production of Fattitude for years, waiting for its release so she could bring it to Boise. On Wednesday, May 30, at 7 p.m., the film will make its Idaho debut for a one-night screening at The Flicks. Directed by Lindsey Averill and Viridiana Lieberman (I Am Evidence, The Sentence), and featuring interviews with Guardian and GQ writer Lindy West, National Eating Disorders Association Program Director Claire Mysko,

Studies Department; the Psychology Department; and a course called Fat Studies. “The variety of voices that they brought together, from academics to activists to artists—the artwork in [Fattitude] is really great—to writers and models, and actresses and clothing designers...I mean, there’s a wide range of people with different experiences and expertise that tell these stories and help paint this fuller picture of what life is like right now for fat people in this country,” said Pence-Brown. “I think [the documentary] is super inspirational about where we’re headed, to a really great, more positive and inclusive life.” The film has been touring the country since its release in 2017. Through a company called Tugg, Pence-Brown was able to bring it to Idaho by partnering with The Flicks and pre-selling a portion of tickets. As of May 15, 95 of the seats in the roughly 150-seat theater had already been claimed, securing the documentary well in advance of its presale deadline. Pence-Brown said community sponsors, including business owners who bought a dozen or more tickets to pass out

In 2015, Amy Pence-Brown stripped down to a bikini and stood in the middle of the Capital City Public Market as a demonstration of body positivity.

supermodel Tess Holliday and a host of other experts and activists in fields ranging from fashion to nutrition, Fattitude attempts to illuminate the challenges and triumphs of being “fat”—a term both its creators and Pence-Brown embrace—in a world where thin is the cultural ideal. PenceBrown said it was this multitude of perspectives she found most powerful about the film, which she previewed on the Oregon State University campus earlier this month. She was there to speak to students in the Women, Gender and Sexuality 18 | MAY 16–22, 2018 | BOISEweekly

to customers and employees, helped make it happen along with local members of the BRFC, which has 2,000 devotees worldwide, roughly half from Idaho. In 2016, the BRFC filled screenings of the body-positive Australian documentary Embrace at two Edwards theaters in the Treasure Valley, so Pence-Brown was confident she’d be able to pack the largest theater at The Flicks. “I already know, because I know some of the people [who have bought tickets] either through [BRFC] or in real life, that there is a really diverse

demographic coming. People of all genders, people of all abilities, all sizes—and that’s the same for admission to [BRFC], it’s not limited to any one gender, and there’s no weight requirement,” she said. As she’s already seen the 90-minute film, what Pence-Brown is looking forward to most about the screening is the introduction to the body positivity movement she’ll give before it starts—going all the way back to the beginnings of fat acceptance in the 1960s as part of the Civil Rights movement—and the Q&A she’ll host at the end. She expects some difficult questions, as community knowledge about body image and health issues varies widely. “I often say I’m perpetually teaching one-onone,” she said. “There’s a wide range of people, and it’s really important to me as an activist and an educator to meet people where they’re at … The hardest part for people of fat acceptance and body positivity is the anti-diet culture,

[anti-]intentional weight loss concept. That’s a hard thing for people to let go of when you’ve been taught and it’s been ingrained in your head your whole life. These things that you believed about bodies, to hear that there’s actually new science and ideas and research around shame and other things that maybe show that they’re not as true as you always thought—that’s a hard thing to let go of, and people tend to get angry or upset.” Pence-Brown has made education on body positivity her full-time job. She speaks at universities and grade schools across the northwest, and also hosts local BRFC activities like Rad Camp, a “body-positive boot camp for feminists,” “chunky dunk” pool parties, plus-sized clothing swaps and more. Despite the challenges, she said, the movement is making strides. “I think this is a really exciting time, because it is on the brink of being big,” she said with a grin. “Pun intended.” BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Rachel McAdams (left) and Rachel Weisz (right) are entangled in a web of secrets in Disobedience.

DISOBEDIENCE: UNORTHODOX INTIMACY Two Rachels, One Fabulous Film GEORGE PRENTICE Upon hearing of the death of her estranged rabbi father, New York City photographer Ronit (Rachel Weisz), reacts by swinging from unorthodox adult behavior—drinking heavily, engaging in anonymous sex—to more childlike activity: She goes ice skating. We immediately learn that a big part of Ronit’s soul is shackled to her past. Even when she deliberately rips some of her clothing, an ancient Jewish tradition of rending a garment to express unspeakable emotion, we see that an equal part of her soul remains an Orthodox Jew. She’s soon aboard a jet heading back to England and the Orthodox Jewish neighborhood where she grew up. But she is shunned by nearly all of her former neighbors. Even her father’s obituary in the local Hebrew newspaper reads, “Sadly, he had no children.” Thus begins a deep, self-aware dive into Disobedience, a fine adaptation of Naomi Alderman’s best-selling novel of the same name, which won the author the 2007 Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award. I loved the book, so I must admit to some trepidation in approaching its big screen BOISE WEEKLY.COM

transformation. But I’m happy to report that director Sebastian Lelio (an Oscar winner this past March for A Fantastic Woman), and the performances of Weisz and Rachel McAdams—who portrays Esti, Ronit’s former lover—raise Disobedience to a must-see film.

DISOBEDIENCE (RATED R) Directed by Sebastian Lelio Starring Rachel Weisz and Rachel McAdams Opens Friday, May 18, at Edwards Boise Downtown Stadium 9

I first saw a screening of Disobedience in Toronto last year, and would have bet my last dollar that it would have been promoted as a serious Oscar contender, particularly for Weisz’s and McAdams’ performances. Yet for reasons I can’t fathom, distributors chose to hold Disobedience until this spring. When the film opened in New York City and Los Angeles, it

immediately became the fourth-best per-theater box office success of the year, only following Avengers: Infinity War, Black Panther and Isle of Dogs. It will open in Boise on Friday, May 18, at Edwards Boise Downtown Stadium 9. There is a lot to love in Disobedience, but two scenes—one of them rather subtle and the other quite provocative—top the list. Early in the film, Ronit and Esti are walking through the now-empty home of Ronit’s late father when Ronit spots an old radio on a fireplace mantle. She turns the radio on, but tunes away from a Hebrew-only station to land on pop music. A second later, the 1989 tune Lovesong by The Cure fills the room, and for a moment, the two women are transported to a forbidden love of their youth. Esti impulsively kisses Ronit, physically unlocking that past. Soon after, the two women are in a midtown London Hotel room, in one of the most electric nudity-free love scenes in recent memory. Ultimately, many hearts will be broken, including yours perhaps, as you watch two of contemporary film’s finest actresses at the top of their games.

The creative force of Idaho Shakespeare Festival on murder, mayhem and Mama Mia GEORGE PRENTICE

There are two recurring themes running through the 42nd seasons of the Idaho Shakespeare Festival. “The letter ‘M,’ perhaps?” asked Producing Artistic Director Charlie Fee. Indeed, ISF’s first three productions of the season are Misery, Macbeth and Mama Mia. Bundle those with a new adaptation of Pride and Prejudice and an added September production of the musical, Beehive, and Fee has curated a season of dramas and musicals that feature fascinating, strong roles for women—the second clear theme. “There’s no question that we’re focusing on very strong women characters,” said Fee. “I picked this season 18 months ago, and I wasn’t setting out to say, ‘You know, let’s do a season that really focuses on women.’ However, as the season began to develop, I leaned into it.” Fee and his company are waist-deep in rehearsals and shows begin Friday, May 25, but he set aside a few minutes to talk with Boise Weekly about the two first shows, both of which he’s directing. Let’s start with Misery, a recent stage adaptation of the Stephen King novel and Oscarwinning film. This stage adaptation is from William Goldman, the master screenwriter who gave us Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, All the President’s Men, The Princess Bride and the screen adaptation of Misery. Stephen King’s sensibilities lean toward the horrific and are usually on the absolute edge

Previews Friday, May 25 Performances run in repertory from Saturday, May 26, through Sunday, July 29.

Misery was a wildly popular film, so I’m assuming that most of the audience will be pretty familiar with its plot. It’s very much about the relationship of Annie and Paul, and that’s why it works so well as a theater piece. Paul is a very famous writer, who has essentially built himself a gilded cage of success, which is why he wants to kill off his famous romantic heroine, Misery. But Annie is having none of that. She is, as she says, his number one fan. It’s an interesting take on artists becoming trapped by their own success. Take Robert Downey Jr.. How many of the Avengers films has he done? Ten? It’s an incredible place to be trapped, if all you’re after is money and fame. But look at Paul in Misery. He feels that he’s not the artist he should be. He’s an artist in crisis. You’ve already mounted this production of Misery in Cleveland at the Great Lakes Theater. What was the reaction there? Standing ovations every night. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, because it definitely draws a new audience.

MACBETH Written by William Shakespeare Directed by Charlie Fee Previews Friday, June 1 Performances run in repertory from Saturday, June 2, through Saturday, June 23.

Let’s talk about your next deep dive. You’re also directing Macbeth this season. When we produced Hamlet last summer, we experimented with an architectural design that referenced the historic Globe Theater, creating an experience where the audience could sit onstage. Audiences enjoyed it so much that we immediately knew that we wanted to use it for Macbeth. And our acting company is absolutely on fire in this production. Lynn Berg is Macbeth, and he has stepped into a number of roles for us over the years, and with every season he’s better than the one before. He’s at the absolute height of his power right now. Our Lady Macbeth is the dynamic Erin Partin. The two of them are magnificent. Macbeth’s themes have, directly or indirectly, continued to be a constant in popular dramas for over four centuries. We’re in a world surrounded by horrific, evil governments, and evil is continually referenced in Macbeth. Think of it, Macbeth was a great heroic soldier who, at the beginning of the play, has essentially saved the nation of Scotland in a battle that no one thought could be won. He’s a brilliant, loyal soldier to his nation. But then he is given insight by the witches that there might be a future that is different. He begins to use the word “murder” almost immediately. With the dangling possibility of great power, he is sucked into a world that he never previously imagined for himself. He can’t escape it and, of course, he’s destroyed by it.

MAMA MIA Written by Catheerine Johnson, and based on the songs of ABBA Directed by Victoria Bussert Previews Friday, June 29 Performances run in repertory from Saturday, June 30, through Friday,

I’ve always looked at the three witches in Macbeth as similar to today’s media, stirring the cauldron, influencing, pushing and pulling Macbeth into all kinds of diabolical directions. As a member of the media yourself, I’ll let you draw that analogy. Now that I think of it, I’m imagining a contemporary production of Macbeth with all three witches as members of the media. It would be a rather horrible indictment. I’d be remiss if I didn’t quickly ask you about your other two big shows this summer. Well, the opportunity to do a new stage adaptation of Pride and Prejudice was too good to pass up. Everything aligned. Think of this for a moment, we’ll be performing Pride and Prejudice in rep with Mama Mia. That’s pretty interesting. Was Mama Mia on your wish list? I can’t tell you how many people have asked me, “When are going to do Mama Mia?” People started asking me six years ago, when it was still on Broadway. But now, we finally got the rights. Are you prepared for audience members who may want to sing along? We’re prepared for everything. However, a word of caution: Please be aware of the person who is sitting next to you, especially if you’re singing too flat or sharp. But a glass of wine or two and… Join right in. ABBA songs are a blast to sing, especially at the curtain call.

of the human condition. Plus, he’s very funny and very dark. That’s why I was so interested in casting Kathleen Tague as Annie and Andrew May as Paul. They’re both wonderful, dramatic actors. But underneath all that drama is the fact that they’re both zany comics. So, that script immediately came to life as soon as they entered the room.

ARTS & CULTURE THE LOCAL CONNECTION

This year, Orchid Awards will dominate the upcoming ceremony.

PRESERVATION IDAHO KEEPS ORCHIDS, PEELS ONIONS Preservation Idaho has highlighted the good, bad and downright ugly in Boise with its Orchids & Onions Awards for more than 40 years. Think of the event as the Oscars & Razzies of preservation. Orchid Awards go to those who have helped conserve Idaho’s architectural and historical legacy, while “Onions” go to those who have “shown an insensitivity” on that front. This year however, the 1 p.m. ceremony on Saturday, May 19, at the Boise Public Library will be onion-free. “As Boise has grown we have found it can be more problematic to give Onion Awards because the deserving Onion recipient in one case is a potential Orchid winner in another,” said Preservation Idaho Executive Board President Paula Benson. “Unfortunately, with so much growth, there are many opportunities for Onions with entities that we hope to collaborate with for other sites or projects.” This year’s ceremony will be more positive, focusing on the 10 Orchid winners: Diane Myklegard, recipient of the Heritage Stewardship Award; Lori Dicaire of Vanishing Boise, named this year’s Friend of Preservation; Noel Weber, who scored the Scott Chandler Award for Excellence in Craftsmanship; Barbara Perry Bauer and Elizabeth Jacox of The Arrowrock Group, named Distinguished Preservationists; The Syringa Club, recognized as Heritage Stewards of Syringa Hall; and the preservation of the Lander Street Water Renewal Facility; the 523 Main Street building in Caldwell; the Third Ward LDS Meeting House (now The Healing Sanctuary) and the Leatherworks building in Idaho Falls; and the Genesee Exchange Bank in Genesee. A paid reception at The Cabin Literary Center will follow the free, public ceremony. Though it won’t call out Onion organizations or individuals, Benson said Preservation Idaho will talk about three as-yet-undisclosed government initiatives it considers “Onion projects.” “Two of these groups have made efforts at preservation, or at least have increased their preservation awareness, so we are hopeful that we can improve outcomes with them in the future,” said Benson. “The third is part of an overall challenge in the state.” —Lex Nelson

FOOD

The Backyard Dawg is messy, but worth it.

GET DOWN AND DURTY IN STAR The red and yellow canvas signs that hang over the door of The Durty Dawg seem to promise fast food, but inside, the restaurant is curiously elegant, with hanging lights in iron cages, dark wood and a full bar. The hot dogs, burgers and thick-cut steak fries that arrive on black plastic trays lined with black and white checkered paper only underscore the contrast. The Durty Dawg is a new presence in Star, located in the business strip at the corner of Plummer Street and State Highway 44. It’s locally owned, and in a town that leans heavily on two pizza joints, an Asian eatery and an Irish pub for dining options, it comes as a breath of fair food-scented fresh air. To hear the waitresses tell it, the place has been slammed since opening its doors just over two weeks ago, a statement borne out by the fact that the kitchen was out of a handful of menu items by 7:30 p.m. on a Saturday. As the name suggests, hot dogs take pride of place on The Durty Dawg’s menu, with 20 different “dawgs” to choose from, topped with everything from mango salsa, shredded cabbage and mango habanero sauce (the Mad Mango Dawg) to barbecue pork, coleslaw and fried pickles (the Slaw P Dawg). Diners can also choose from a shorter list of burgers, chicken sandwiches, salads and steak fries topped with anything from gravy to chorizo chili. Pickle fries are the most popular appetizer. The prices are a bit steep (most dogs cost $10 and up) but the right entree warrants them. The Backyard Dawg, a Coney Islandborn Nathan’s dog wrapped in thick-cut bacon and smothered with tangy barbeque sauce, shredded cheddar and fried onions, is one solid choice. The dog itself was cooked perfectly, with a bit of resistance to each bite and a varied texture that promised real meat rather than meat-product slurry. The combination of smoky sauce and crunchy fried onion put it over the top in taste and texture, although eating it—and the Rolly Polly Dawg, a Polish sausage heavy on sauerkraut and onion—was a messy endeavor. The same went for the mac and cheese-topped Caliboy Burger, a comfort food dish saved from boredom by a crisp layer of bacon. Though the spot is clearly still ﬁnding its feet, with friendly staff and an unusual menu, it’s sure to lock in soon. Next time you make it out to Star, put The Durty Dawg on your list. —Lex Nelson 22 | MAY 16–22, 2018 | BOISEweekly

The french fry dinner (left) was the brainchild of JUMP Community Engagement Director Kathy O’Neill, Share Studio Coordinator Jess Libes and Chef Anna Tapia (right).

THOUGHT FOR FOOD

JUMP serves up creativity, inspiration and some amazing french fries GEORGE PRENTICE In a food-crazed culture where celebrity chefs are known for their on-camera preening and explosive tempers, Chef Ann Tapia breaks the mold. She’s soft-spoken, doesn’t have much time for social media and politely smiles when you praise her work. But ask her about the multitude of delicacies that come out of her kitchen at Jack’s Urban Meeting Place, aka JUMP, where Tapia is the executive chef, and her eyebrows rise like a perfect souffle. “I’m living my dream,” she said. “I couldn’t imagine a better job. They’re so open to these creative things that I want to do.” A constant flow of guests attending JUMP’s multi-faceted events and workshops get tastes of Tapia’s food. “We’ll be serving more than 1,200 guests here this week,” she said. “No, hold on. That’s just Tuesday through Saturday. When we add the food prepared for the next TEDx Boise event, that’s another 500 people.” Tapia doesn’t work alone, mind you. She’s surrounded by what she says are four of the most talented chefs in the region. Plus, a steady stream of guest chefs and caterers circulate in and out of the kitchen, which has a high-profile footprint on JUMP’s ground level. The menus are as varied as the guests. For preschoolers, there are “Flavorful Fairytales,” which combine storytelling and imaginative recipes—a Unicorn Noodle Bowl, for example, changes colors before your eyes. For downtowners, there’s Connect on the Deck on JUMP’s fifth-floor terrace each Thursday evening and Saturday afternoon, an event that offers live music, mingling

and an ever-changing menu—Tapia said she’s working on a “JUMP burger.” Then, there are the high-profile conferences at JUMP, such as a three-day ConvertKit conference in late June that promises to attract global craft and commerce entrepreneurs. “I want to present something new and unusual for every one of their events throughout the three days. I love listening to people who are planning events at JUMP; it inspires some really cool, interactive food items to go along with their particular mission,” said Tapia. Finally, there are JUMP’s Community Dinners. “It’s all about being a family friendly, affordable evening. They’re open to everybody and we really think we’re on to something,” said Jess Libes, a Share Studio coordinator who plans cooking and food programs at JUMP. “The dinner is the centerpiece of an evening that includes a number of activities. They cost $10, and kids under [age] 5 eat for free. Our first Community Dinner was spaghetti and meatballs.” Of course, with Chef Tapia at the helm, it wasn’t run-of-the-mill spaghetti and meatballs: The ostrich egg-sized meatballs were stuffed with fresh mozzarella and rolled in Panko. Suffice to say, kids and foodies were delighted. On the side was a “hand-held Caesar salad,” with romaine spears and edible paper butterflies tucked inside a parmesan-flavored chip. While adults ate to their hearts’ delight, kids made chef hats and foodinspired Tinkertoys using uncooked spaghetti and marshmallows.

“It was a big success and we had wonderful word-of-mouth, but we’re very excited about our next Community Dinner,” said Libes. That event is slated for Thursday, May 31, and Chef Tapia plans to celebrate the splendor of the spud with a gourmet french fry bar. The dinner will start off with shaved Brussels sprout slaw, but then the real fun begins when attendees start to garnish their russet or sweet potato fries with any number of extras: root beer-braised barbecue brisket, white cheese sauce, pico de gallo, bruschetta, crispy kale, truffle oil and a wide variety of what Tapia calls “krazy ketchups.” “We do a curry [and] blueberry ketchup. I know that sounds weird, but it’s really popular,” said Tapia. Kathy O’Neill, JUMP community engagement director, said she was salivating just listening to the executive chef describe the fries. “Trust me, you don’t get this kind of food at my house,” said O’Neill. “It was a real gift to JUMP when we got Chef Anna to join us. It was serendipity. She has these passions and skills, and it’s just a wonderful collaboration.” All of the studios throughout JUMP are focused on something, whether it’s innovation, movement or performance. O’Neill said that the creative dishes that come out of the kitchen are an inspiration for all of the above. “Food brings us together as a community. It binds us all and everybody leaves here with a smile on their face,” said O’Neill. “And french fries? Who doesn’t love french fries?” BOISE WEEKLY.COM

PAGE BREAK YODELIN’ IN THE CANYON DEAR MINERVA, I am a healthy, sexually active, adult male who tries to practice safe sex in my activities (ie: using a condom when engaging in intercourse and fellatio). However, I have yet to come up with a “safe” way to engage in my favorite activity—cunninlingus. It seems rather silly to put a condom on my tongue, leaving my lips and mouth unprotected. Placing plastic wrap over the female genitalia deprives both partners of the pleasure of the activity. Any suggestions other than know my partners and frequent STD testing? Sincerely, Eager Beaver Eater

DEAR E.B.E, Please don’t put a condom on your tongue. While choking could be fun during oral sex, I don’t think you want a condom lodged in your throat. You could, however, cut the tip and bottom band off of the condom, then cut down one side of it creating a DIY dental dam. It’s not plastic wrap and can be an effective barrier to STD transmission. Your focus, however, seems to be on maintaining the pleasure of the activity. While oral sex is considered lower risk than other activities, the risk is still there. You have choices as an adult. Knowing your partners and getting frequent STD testing is responsible. After that, you must decide if less pleasure but more peace of mind is your preference over an STD. You have to be able to live with your choices and then act accordingly. And that’s not just yodelin’ in the canyon! 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.

MINERVA’S BREAKDOWN

KNAPBAG

Idaho is one of America’s most popular states for outdoor recreation, which is probably why it’s not hard to find t-shirts with slogans like “The Mountains are Calling and I Must Go” or “Take Me to the Lake” in stores across the state. If you’re one of the people who takes those mantras to heart, you’ve probably found that there’s one thing you’ll need no matter where your feet take you this summer: somewhere to sit. Enter Knapbag, the inflatable lounger/bench/ raft that’s light and compact enough to carry in your backpack and easy to inflate by hand, no air pump needed. To inflate the tri-stitch nylon bag, simply wave it back and forth in the air, then roll and clip the open end. The canoe-shaped Knapbag will stay ballooned for 4-6 hours, and can seat one person lying back or up to three people sitting across, making it a perfect option for outdoor concerts or even—height requirements permitting—the Idaho Shakespeare Festival. The super-tough bags cost $99 each, and come in six colors, including camo. —Lex Nelson knapbag.com Taken by Instagram user #boiseweeklypic_christian_r_lim.

ASTROLOGY

BY ROB BREZSNY

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A chemist named Marcellus Gilmore Edson got a patent on peanut butter in 1894. A businessperson named George Bayle started selling peanut butter as a snack in 1894. In 1901, a genius named Julia David Chandler published the first recipe for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. In 1928, two trailblazers invented loaves of sliced bread, setting the stage for the ascension of the peanut butter and jelly sandwich to its full glory. According to my analysis, Taurus, you’re partway through your own process of generating a very practical marvel. I suspect you’re now at a phase equivalent to Julia David Chandler’s original recipe. Onward! Keep going!

power in the coming weeks. You can be and should be as hip, cool, and groovy as you have been in a long time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): One of the most popular brands of candy in North America is Milk Duds. They’re irregularly shaped globs of chocolate-covered caramel. When they were first invented in 1926, the manufacturer’s plan was to make them perfect little spheres. But with the rather primitive technology available at that time, this proved impossible. The finished products were blobs, not globes. They tasted good, though. Workers jokingly suggested that the new confection’s name include “dud,” a word meaning “failure” or “flop.” Having sold well now for more than 90 years, Milk Duds have proved that success doesn’t necessarily require perfection. Who knows? Maybe their dud-ness has been an essential part of their charm. I suspect there’s a metaphorical version of Milk Duds in your future, Gemini.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The Polish pianist Ignacy Jan Paderewski once performed for England’s Queen Victoria. She possessed a backstage pass, and was able to converse with him after the show. “You’re a genius,” she told him, having been impressed with his artistry. “Perhaps, Your Majesty,” Paderewski said. “But before that I was a drudge.” He meant that he had labored long and hard before reaching the mastery the Queen attributed to him. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you Libras are currently in an extended “drudge” phase of your own. That’s a good thing! Take maximum advantage of this opportunity to slowly and surely improve your skills.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In my vision of your life in the coming weeks, you’re hunting for the intimate power that you lost a while back. After many twists and trials, you find it almost by accident in a seemingly unimportant location, a place you have paid little attention to for a long time. When you recognize it, and realize you can reclaim it, your demeanor transforms. Your eyes brighten, your skin glows, your body language galvanizes. A vivid hope arises in your imagination: how to make that once-lost, nowrediscovered power come alive again and be of use to you in the present time. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The etymological dictionary says that the English slang word “cool” meant “calmly audacious” as far back as 1825. The term “groovy” was first used by jazz musicians in the 1930s to signify “performing well without grandstanding.” “Hip,” which was originally “hep,” was also popularized by the jazz community. It meant “informed, aware, up-to-date.” I’m bringing these words to your attention because I regard them as your words of

I hope you’ll be daring enough to risk a breakthrough in service to your most demanding dream. I hope you will make an effort to understand yourself as your best teacher might understand you. I hope you will find out how to summon more faith in yourself—a faith not rooted in lazy wishes but in a rigorous selfassessment. Now here’s my prediction: You will fulfill at least one of my hopes, and probably more.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The ancient Greek poet Simonides was among the first of his profession to charge a fee for his services. He made money by composing verses on demand. On one occasion, he was asked to write a stirring tribute to the victor of a mule race. He declined, declaring that his sensibilities were too fine to create art for such a vulgar activity. In response, his potential patron dramatically boosted the proposed price. Soon thereafter, Simonides produced a rousing ode that included the phrase “windswift steeds.” I offer the poet as a role model for you in the coming weeks, Scorpio. Be more flexible than usual about what you’ll do to get the reward you’d like. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Here’s the operative metaphor for you these days: You’re like a painter who has had a vision of an interesting work of art you could create—but who lacks some of the paint colors you would require to actualize this art. You may also need new types of brushes you haven’t used before. So here’s how I suggest you proceed: Be aggressive in tracking down the missing ingredients or tools that will enable you to accomplish your as-yet imaginary masterpiece.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Useful revelations and provocative epiphanies are headed your way. But they probably won’t arrive sheathed in sweetness and light, accompanied by tinkling swells of celestial music. It’s more likely they’ll come barging in with a clatter, bringing bristly marvels and rough hope. In a related matter: At least one breakthrough is in your imminent future. But this blessing is more likely to resemble a wrestle in the mud than a dance on a mountaintop. None of this should be a problem, however! I suggest you enjoy the rugged but interesting fun. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): One of the saddest aspects of our lives as humans is the disparity between love and romance. Real love is hard work. It’s unselfish, unwavering and rooted in generous empathy. Romance, on the other hand, tends to be capricious and inconstant, often dependent on the fluctuations of mood and chemistry. Is there anything you could do about this crazy-making problem, Aquarius? Like could you maybe arrange for your romantic experiences to be more thoroughly suffused with the primal power of unconditional love? I think this is a realistic request, especially in the coming weeks. You will have exceptional potential to bring more compassion and spiritual affection into your practice of intimacy. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to dream up new rituals. The traditional observances and ceremonies bequeathed to you by your family and culture may satisfy your need for comfort and nostalgia, but not your need for renewal and reinvention. Imagine celebrating homemade rites of passage designed for the new person you’ve become. You may be delighted to discover how much power they provide you to shape your life’s long-term cycles. Ready to conjure up a new ritual right now? Take a piece of paper and write down two fears that inhibit your drive to create a totally interesting kind of success for yourself. Then burn that paper and those fears in the kitchen sink while chanting, “I am a swashbuckling incinerator of fears!” ARIES (March 21-April 19): According to my assessment of the astrological omens, your duty right now is to be a brave observer, a fair-minded intermediary and an honest storyteller. Your people need you to help them do the right thing. They require your influence in order to make good decisions. So if you encounter lazy communication, dispel it with your clear and concise speech. If you find that foggy thinking has started to infect important discussions, inject your clear and concise insights.
