EDITOR’S NOTE QUITE A SPREAD Just like a fine early summer picnic, we have a basketful of items to nosh on in this week’s issue.

Up front, we dish on the “smart growth” debate in Boise. In advance of a series of community workshops on growth, slated for Wednesday, June 20; Tuesday, June 26; and Thursday, June 28, we listen to city officials who want a “more inclusive conversation,” a contributing writer of Forbes magazine who wrote she found everything she “hoped for and more” in Boise; and the woman behind Vanishing Boise, an advocacy group that isn’t pleased with the pace of development in the Treasure Valley. Read more about all that and get the scoop on what are being called “World Cafes” on pages 6 and 7.

For our second course, contributing writer Derek Kaplan visits with Counting Crows lead Adam Duritz on page 15 in advance of his band’s Wednesday, June 27, stop at Boise’s Taco Bell Arena where it will kick off its 25th-anniversary tour.

“There are cities that you love going to,” Duritz said, expressing his affection for the City of Trees.

Continuing the meal, we introduce you to author Shobha Rao, whose debut novel, Girls Burn Brighter, is a bestseller this summer. On page 17, Rao told BW, “I could not have possibly anticipated how perfect the moment has been for this book, and how necessary it feels.”

In Arts, Senior Staff Writer Harrison Berry introduces us to the founder of Roots Boise, who is ready to branch out further into the alternative media scene after finding success with a blog and podcast. Plus, Staff Writer Lex Nelson has a critique of Misery, the suspense-filled thriller currently running in repertory at the Idaho Shakespeare Festival. Read both stories on page 18.

And on page 19, I have some news in this week’s Screen column concerning Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, a brilliant new documentary on Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, which I’m thrilled to report is one of the best films of 2018.

OPINION

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

OPINION BORDERS AND BIKES An early childhood memory of mine is being in C.C. Anderson’s downtown Boise department store, standing before a 36-inchhigh merchandise table that I couldn’t see over. I had let go of my mother’s finger, and then panicked moments later after she stepped around the table out of my sight.

I ran screaming for her down an aisle and across a moving hand truck before I was found. My ordeal was probably less than 90-seconds, but the memory is still vivid after more than three-quarters of a century.

Now, I think of children forcibly snatched from parents at the U.S./Mexico border, and hauled by strangers to sterile detention facilities with hastily and questionably vetted overseers working shifts. This practice is the brainchild of this Administration’s Lord Haw-Haw (look it up) aka Stephen Miller, and gleefully adopted by U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions who tortuously bastardizes Christianity by invoking Romans: 13 and a “Democratic law” as justification. This is a manufactured crisis to cynically coerce

NEWS GROWING PAINS

Congestion, social media maelstroms and World Cafes GEORGE PRENTICE

Blaine County Sheriff: “We’ve giiven plenty of warnings.”

DON’T EVEN THINK OF USING YOUR CELLPHONE BEHIND THE WHEEL IN SUN VALLEY

—George Prentice 6 | JUNE 20–26, 2018 | BOISEweekly

shopping options have expanded as more companies see the potential of this market.”

That said, Croteau also wrote about the downside of Boise’s newfound “fame for growth.”

“It’s no secret that many Idahoans are unhappy about these rapid changes,” she wrote. “Whether you read articles in the paper, scan social media or eavesdrop on conversations in the checkout aisle, you will hear a lot of people commenting on the ADAM RO SENLUND

It’s not uncommon for Treasure Valley residents to head to Sun Valley during the summer.

Visit Sun Valley, the region’s marketing engine, says nearly a quarter of a million visitors swarm to the Wood River Valley from May through September. But for the many who visit once per year, here’s a word of caution: It’s now illegal to use hand-held devices while driving.

Earlier this year, the Idaho Legislature once again rejected such a law for the state as a whole, citing “government overreach.”

“The people have spoken,” argued Sen. Dan Foreman (R-Moscow), who opposed the measure. “If you don’t believe me, the next time you pull up to an intersection, look around.”

If that same scenario plays out in the Wood River Valley, Blaine County Sheriff Steve Harkins said anyone glued to their phone faces a fine.

“We’ve given plenty of warnings, but we want to make one last announcement before enforcement begins,” wrote Harkins in a June 12 press release.

The cities of Hailey and Ketchum each passed cellphone bans and Blaine County followed suit, passing an ordinance banning cellphone use while driving on roads outside of city limits. An infraction will cost a driver $100.

This past year was one of the deadliest on Idaho highways, with law enforcement blaming a number of crashes on distracted driving.

Between Memorial Day and Labor Day in 2016, Idaho averaged one death per day on Gem State roadways.

“Over the last few years, the number of deaths on our roads during the summer months has been trending upward,” Idaho Transportation Department Public Information Specialist Bill Kotowski told the Idaho State Journal in 2017.

Sixteen U.S. states, including Oregon and Washington, prohibit all drivers from using hand-held cellphones while driving, and a total of 38 states ban all cellphone use by novice drivers. While the Wood River Valley has joined that movement, the State of Idaho remains in the far-right lane.

“I think we have better things to do,” said Sen. Steve Vick (R-Dalton Gardens) before nixing this year’s Statehouse proposal.

Mention the word “growth” in Boise lately and you’d best prepare yourself for a wide variety of reactions—some miffed, some meh and a growing number mercurial. One person’s “growth” means diversity, jobs and a swelling revenue stream, while someone else’s means sprawl, congestion and rising housing prices.

Take Lori Dicaire and Jeanne Croteau, for example. Neither is native to Boise, but they look at the city through different lenses. Dicaire is the founder of Vanishing Boise, a grass-roots group of Boiseans who aren’t thrilled with what she calls “the growth industrial complex” driving a good amount of current development.

Jeanne Croteau is a contributing writer for Forbes magazine, and in a June 13 article she sang the praises of her new hometown, which has given her family “everything we hoped for and more.”

The debate isn’t expected to be less volatile any time soon, but officials at Boise City Hall say the timing couldn’t be better for a civilized discussion on what works, what doesn’t and how to accentuate “smart” in the ever-expanding conversation about “smart growth.”

“The conversation has already been happening in some corners of the city, but the article in Forbes really brought this issue to the forefront in a way that we didn’t anticipate,” said city spokesman Mike Journee.

That article—a separate piece from Croteau’s—hit newsstands across the nation in late February and revealed Boise had landed the No. 1 spot on Forbes’ 2018 list of America’s fastest-growing cities.

In the article, Moody’s economist Adam Kamins told Forbes that while Boise “is not necessarily a place you would associate with really robust growth … it’s got the pieces in place.”

That’s music to the ears of a number of people at Boise City Hall, but any excitement is immediately tempered by caution.

“People who have been here awhile, they’re worried about what’s coming down the road.

That makes a lot of sense,” said Journee. “The people who haven’t been here very long? Well, they’re eager for growth because it brings diversity, it brings vitality, it brings better-paying jobs.”

Forbes contributor Jeanne Croteau is among that number.

“Some of this is really good,” Croteau wrote in her June 13 piece, “Booming Boise: My Relocation to the Fastest Growing City in America.”

“Restaurants, along with the population, are becoming more diverse,” she wrote. “Similarly,

boom and how they wish it would slow down.”

That’s where Dicaire comes in. The Vanishing Boise Facebook page is regularly filled with robust comments sections, many of them skeptical, surrounding a number of Boise developments.

“Facebook is a really powerful organizing tool,” Dicaire told Boise Weekly. “Initially, I started this to channel some of my anger and sadness over the disappearance of open space, and historical businesses and institutions.”

Dicaire and Vanishing Boise have since attracted growing media attention with profile

pieces published in the Idaho Statesman, and spots on KTVB-TV and KIVI-TV. “Initially, I reluctantly founded this organization because I was thinking, ‘Why isn’t anyone doing anything about this?’ So, I said, ‘I guess I’m the one,’” said Dicaire. “And the timing of all this?

Yes, we’re certainly attracting a lot of attention.”

That’s all the more reason why Dicaire is intrigued by—and more than a bit eager to participate in—a series of community workshops that the city has organized to address growth.

“It’s time that the city engaged with its citizens to find out how they’re feeling about all this growth and how it’s impacting them, positively or negatively,” said Dicaire. “I think they’re calling them ‘World Cafes.’”

What’s a World Cafe?

World Cafes, also called “knowledge cafes,” are an old-school idea inspired by a rather recent event. When Juanita Brown and David Isaacs invited a group of business and academic leaders to an outdoor meeting at their home in Mill Valley, California, a sudden thunderstorm sent everyone inside. Because the couple didn’t have the room to accommodate everyone in one location, guests instead sat at smaller tables scattered around the house, using disposable tablecloths to take notes. The idea has been repeated countless times, with nonprofits, businesses and even governmental entities taking advantage of more intimate settings that ensure attendees are comfortable voicing their opinions. Think of it more like a dinner party than the typical city meeting, which mirrors an episode of The Jerry Springer Show.

In Boise, the three World Cafe workshops, on Wednesday, June 20; Tuesday, June 26; and Thursday, June 28, will be facilitated by Dr. Jen Schneider, a public policy professor at Boise State University.

“To be clear, we’re not trying to explain away anything,” said Journee. “People should have perspectives about what is good growth and what is bad growth. First and foremost, we want to avoid sprawl. It’s a community killer. We want to create a walkable, bikeable, mass transitfriendly city. The more we can do that, the more we don’t have to worry about how many lanes need to be added to State Street.”

Equally important, Journee said, is a City Hall focus on what is known as a “dense development pattern.”

“To a large degree, that pattern should 7 include more multi-family home developments, creating a wider variety of housing BOISE WEEKLY.COM

MARYANN FERNANDE Z

SIGN OF A CRITICAL TIME

List posted by Boise church tracks U.S. school shootings

LimeBike is making inroads into the City of Trees.

THE DOCKLESS DEBATE

MARYANN FERNANDEZ Erected next to St. Michael’s Episcopal Cathedral on Eighth Street in downtown Boise is a youth message board that contains three sheets of printer paper. Its simple layout belies a potent message. On one sheet is a prayer, and on the next is the number and names of school shooting victims. On the final sheet is the number of school shootings that have taken place in the United States since Jan. 1, and the number of actions taken by state or federal lawmakers to stem gun violence in schools.

“These schools should be one of the safest places for a kid to be, but it’s turning out to be maybe a place where it’s not very safe for them on a purely random basis,” said Bill Wallace, youth director at St. Michael’s Episcopal Cathedral. “As a youth director, I very quickly determined how frightful and how big of an issue this is for our kids.”

It was his idea to post the pages in the shadow of the Feb. 14 school shooting in Parkland, Florida. Originally, Wallace put up a display following the 2007 shooting at Virginia Tech, but the current iteration of the display emphasizes how frequent shootings have become.

A simple message board in front of the Bishop Tuttle House contains a powerful message about school shootings.

“Kids today just feel that this is just something that has been accepted and a risk they have to take while going to school, because nothing has happened to change their perspective,” Wallace said.

The original purpose of the display, he said, was to humanize the students and educators killed in school shootings.

“Up until the time I first posted the display in 2007, states hadn’t done anything about the issue.

It was mostly just conversations like, ‘We’re really sorry this happened, and we pray for you,’’’ said Wallace. “But then they would just move on.”

choices,” said Journee. “And here’s another important element you don’t hear too much about. A dense development pattern helps keep 6 our tax base low. If we’re not seeing more greenfield developments [on undeveloped land], where the city has to run sewer lines out to a new subdivision, or we have to create a new firehouses, new parks or provide more police protection, then it helps keep our tax base stable.”

Daren Fluke, the man who manages the city’s long-range planning division, spends many of his days drilling into Boise’s transportation dilemma. A key issue is the fact that the city doesn’t manage its own streets. As part of a long-debated state law, ACHD lords over Boise’s roadways.

“How can I put this best?” Fluke asked rhetorically. “I would say that we’re negotiating details with ACHD on a transportation plan to better manage State Street. It’s what is known as a High Capacity Transit Corridor. We would like to see two outside lanes dedicated solely to bus rapid transit and high-occupancy vehicles. And it’s an important distinction that the idea behind more mass transit on the State Street corridor is to provide a choice.”

In fact, Valley Regional Transit is holding its own events, a series of open houses which began June 19, to get more public input on a series of proposed changes, including putting more buses, complete with more frequent stops, on State Street and other high-capacity transit corridors.

Wallace, who has been a faith leader and advocate for young people for decades, said he feels society has a moral obligation to better care for its youth.

“I wrote an article about the [March for Our Lives] rally this past March [which followed the Parkland shooting]. Some of the feedback I received was that I shouldn’t be writing about it because they thought it was a political issue,” said Wallace. “But it’s not a political issue; it’s a moral issue. We have a moral obligation to keep these kids safe in school.”

“It’s all a part of the conversation: public transportation, density, walkability, mobility,” said Journee. “People can get very passionate about the city. That’s a good thing. And emotion is a good thing. At the same time, one person’s perspective may not necessarily meet with someone else’s. And first, we need to hear from the citizens.”

That’s an important distinction when it comes to having those conversations, rather than airing them out through the media, which might have a more vested interest in conflict.

“I think a lot of people are wondering about the current volume of noise at some previous meetings regarding development,” said Journee. “To be completely honest, the city and a number of other organizations have begun talking directly with our constituents, as opposed to 10 years ago, when we relied more on the news media to communicate those messages.”

To a large degree, the World Cafe method is designed to reduce that noise.

“The idea is to turn that volume down and for us to listen to what people are saying and, more importantly, for people to hear what their neighbors are saying,” said Journee. “That’s often missing in the hotbox environment of social media where some people aggregate around other people who simply think the same way [they] do. We’re interested in a bigger, more inclusive conversation.”

The idea of “dockless bike-sharing” first came on most Boiseans’ radars in May when a representative for California-based LimeBike stood before the Boise City Council on May 15 to sing the praises of his company, which allows users to rent bikes but then lock and walk away from them in public areas, absent any docking station.

The presentation gathered a fair amount of attention and some skepticism, particularly from the man who oversees Boise’s wildly popular GreenBike bike-share program, Dave Fotsch. As opposed to LimeBike’s “park anywhere” model, GreenBike keeps its unused bikes in docking stations strategically scattered throughout downtown Boise.

“This is certainly going to present significant challenges to us if they’re allowed to operate in this market,” Fotsch told Boise Weekly. “[LimeBike] is still an unproven model. How long can they keep bleeding money?

They’re not making any money. Trust me on this, I know. I run a bike-share system.”

Boise officials invited a LimeBike representative back to answer more questions— LimeBike was on the Boise City Council workshop agenda on June 19—but local leaders may also want to chat with pedestrian advocates in other cities where dockless bike-shares are operating. “[Seattle] is starting to look like the backyard of ill-behaved 7-year-olds who refuse to pick up after themselves,” reads one complaint filed with that city last September.

In addition, Wired.com’s Mark Harris reported just last week, “What looked on the surface like an easy win ended up revealing the limits of a startup-led revolution. As Seattle residents discovered, just because the city could get bikes on the streets with little investment, didn’t mean it should.”

For the record, LimeBike doesn’t need approval from the city to operate in Boise, only a business license from the Idaho Secretary of State’s office. That said, Boise officials are in a position to consider rules and ordinances to oversee the process.

Boise Weekly has also learned that still another dockless bike-share company, China-based ofo, is eyeing Boise as a possible market.

ALIVE AFTER FIVE: GHOST OF PAUL REVERE, GROVE PLAZA, JUNE 20 Although Ghost of Paul Revere made its national debut on Conan on March 22 this year, its beginnings date back to 2011.

The Maine-based, “holler-folk” band consists of just strings and vocals. Guitarist and singer Griffin Sherry said on the band website, “Everyone assumed we were a bluegrass band because we were playing these traditional instruments, but we weren’t writing traditional music. We were just writing songs with the instruments we had.” Sherry said the band handled its latest album, Monarch (self-released, 2017), with more care than past albums, taking time to arrange and write in the studio. “Every other record has just been the three of us in a room with a microphone,” Sherry said. The music consists of layered harmonies, intricate stringplay and optimistic melodies—check it out at Alive After Five.

SNAIL MAIL, THE FUNKY TACO, JUNE 22 Lindsey Jordan has some big post-graduation summer plans.

The 18-year-old musician—who goes by the name Snail Mail on stage—has set out on tour buoyed by a wave of positive press.

The New York Times, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone and NPR Music have all been smitten with the Maryland teen’s fresh take on the sometimes-tired indie rock genre in her debut album, Lush (Matador Records, 2018), which shows off her depth as a guitarist.

At times it’s moody, sour and jubilant within the same track. Her careful plucking on “Let’s Find An Out” sounds more folk/acoustic than indie rock, while “Pristine” is five minutes of roller coaster emotions wrapped in a single. Duck Club Presents will bring Jordan to The Funky Taco, an all-ages venue (and new downtown taqueria) on the night of Friday, June 22. Don’t miss this shot to see her in Boise before she really hits the bigtime.

Counting Crows lead singer Adam Duritz: “When we were doing more college tours, we would often end up in Boise. It’s awesome, when you do this for long enough.

There are cities that you love going to.”

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

COUNTING CROWS KICKS OFF 25THANNIVERSARY TOUR IN BOISE Lead Adam Duritz gratified by a long road of success

SAL ES ASSI STANT

Wanted

DEREK K APL AN It’s hard to believe it has been 25 years since Counting Crows debuted its landmark album August and Everything After (Geffen Records, 1993), and that the refrains of “Round Here” and “Mr. Jones” have stuck in our heads ever since. For lead singer Adam Duritz, to have withstood the test of time is a milestone, and the band is celebrating in humble fashion by hitting the road for a 25 Years and Counting tour beginning Wednesday, June 27, at Boise’s Taco Bell Arena.

Duritz had much to share on breaking into the business; his new podcast, Underwater Sunshine; and his “contented life” in music. Above all, he still finds it surreal to still be in the spotlight after more than two decades.

“I’m having trouble grasping it, quite honestly.

I guess I can believe it because I’ve been doing this forever. It’s nice to be employed,” he said with a laugh. “For a while there, I had a lot of doubts about that, especially when we started out. It’s pretty crazy ... I’ve spent my entire life playing music. The one thing I can appreciate is how incredibly rare that is.”

Duritz said launching the Counting Crows anniversary tour in Boise is a bit nostalgic for him.

“It was great to find we were actually starting in Boise. I was glad because we haven’t been there in a while. I used to spend a lot of time in Idaho; I’d go to Ketchum a lot for Christmas with friends. Also, when we were doing more college tours, we would often end up in Boise. It’s aweBOISE WEEKLY.COM

some, when you do this for long enough. There are cities that you love going to.”

After producing seven successful studio albums—which have sold more than 20 million copies to date—Counting Crows has a fountain of material for its tour. Though the band always mixes up its set lists, Duritz said a couple of albums continue to to stand out from the rest of the repertoire.

“I really like playing songs off of This Desert Life (Geffen Records, 1999), and Somewhere Under Wonderland (Capitol Records, 2014),” he said. “Our last record was maybe my favorite.

And, for some reason, This Desert Life ... we want to play those songs all the time. They’re a little more quirky. I don’t know—that album just never gets tiresome.”

Accompanying the Crows on the road this go round is +LIVE+, another ‘90s staple that just saw its original members join forces again following a nearly nine-year hiatus.

“I was really happy they got back together, cause they’re friends of mine,” said Duritz. “We used to be drinking buddies when we all lived in [Los Angeles], and we’ve done several tours together. I know how hard it is to keep a band together, but there’s nothing as good as the experiences you’ve had with these people.”

In addition to his musical endeavors, Duritz has launched a podcast dubbed Underwater Sunshine, aptly baptized after the band’s 2012 album.

He hosts the podcast with longtime buddy, author and music journalist James Campion.

“James has interviewed me a bunch of times over the years, really in-depth pieces, and we end up talking for hours,” said Duritz. “He said to me once, ‘I have so much material left over, we should do a book.’”

Campion joined Duritz and the Crows on The Outlaw Roadshow, an itinerant music festival the band put on with blogger Ryan Spaulding. Throughout that 2012 tour, Duritz and Campion recorded a seemingly endless number of conversations about their shared love of music.

“I called him up [later] and said, ‘There’s so much that’s never gonna make it into this book— we should do a podcast,’” said Duritz. “So, we started doing it at the end of last year. It’s my favorite thing I’ve been doing. I think it allows us both to just be music geeks.”

The success of Counting Crows goes beyond great music. It’s largely due to the members’ solidarity as a band, a kinship formed by what they do and an air of positivity about the future.

“It’s been 25 years. We’ve survived it,” said Duritz. “I like touring, not just with my band, but my crew’s been around me a long time, too. There are about 20 people I’ve spent most of my adult life with, and I like them all.

There are a lot of reasons to be happy about this tour.”

BEER GUZZLER ROADHOUSE BREWING COMPANY Roadhouse is a new arrival to the Treasure Valley. Co-founded in 2012 in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, by home-brewer Colby Cox and chef Gavin Fine, it set out to create beer to complement food, and food to complement the brewing. The company operates sustainably with (among other things) solar panels for electricity and a heat recapture system. And oh yeah, the beers are really good.

AVARICE & GREED BELGIAN STYLE GOLDEN ALE, $3.49$3.99 In this hazy golden pour, a parade of tiny bubbles creates a thick, creamy head with a dense lacing. There are touches of yeast, hops and citrus on the nose.

It weighs in at a hefty 9 percent alcohol, but you don’t feel the heat.

The lightly sweet flavors are a smooth mix of ripe red fruit and creamy blood orange with a bit of spice.

TROUT WHISTLE PALE ALE, $2.19-$2.59 A cloudy straw color, this brew is topped with a porous, persistent head. It opens with a surprisingly big hit of resiny hop aromas for a pale ale, balanced by toasted malt and bright citrus. All of that carries through to the palate, where caramel malt wraps around a core of lightly bitter hops, with sweet citrus coming through on the finish.

WILSON WEST SIDE IPA, $2.19-$2.59 The thick head covering this hazy amber brew collapses quickly but leaves a sticky lacing. Lively hops and pine dominate the nose.

This pour is beautifully balanced in the mouth, and you can taste the fruity hops, but they’re on the subtle side when it comes to bitterness.

Creamy malt and ripe fruit flavors abound. It’s like the pale ale and IPA switched places.

RECREATION

Quidditch has gone from a fictional game played by wizards in the fictional universe of the Harry Potter series to a real-world sport with a professional team based in Boise.

A SPORT IS BORN

Professional Quidditch arrives in Boise HENRY COFFE Y On a warm Sunday afternoon, on the electricgreen turf of the Boise State University soccer field, the Boise Grays trained for its first game of the season. The players stretched. They ran. They practiced situational plays. It was just like NFL training camp.

Except that the professional sport they play is Quidditch—the game from the Harry Potter book series by JK Rowling.

In the Harry Potter books, Quidditch is played by young wizards who ride magic flying brooms high in the air. In the non-magical version, invented by students at Middlebury College in 2006, players run with “brooms” between their legs, playing a complex fusion of rugby and dodgeball.

The Boise Grays are one of 16 teams in Major League Quidditch, a thriving professional sports league. The sport is gaining momentum quickly.

“There are very few mixed-gender sports, especially mixed-gender contact sports, and that’s something that Quidditch really thrives on,” said Jack McGovern, media outreach coordinator for Major League Quidditch.

MLQ is dedicated to high-level competition, high-stakes playoffs and accurate statistics. The official league rulebook is nearly 250 pages long. Teams can be found in major cities from New York to Los Angeles, and start playing in June each year, competing for

a championship in late August. This year’s championship will take place Saturday-Sunday, August 18-19, in Madison, Wisconsin.

The Grays began its inaugural season in Boise on June 16. Its roster is comprised of mostly Boise State students, and it plays its home games in Ann Morrison Park. Its road games in California against Los Angeles and San Francisco will be streamed live on Facebook.

The franchise was previously called the Sol and based in Phoenix, but problems with management and Arizona’s dangerously high summer temperatures prompted MLQ to transfer professional status to a new club.

“Boise was becoming an increasingly attractive market for our league,” said McGovern, who cited the success of Boise’s club Quidditch team, the Nomads, as one of the primary reasons for awarding the City of Trees a franchise.

Fans will likely be surprised by the intensity of the game.

“It might look like chaos at first, but it’s a really fast-paced game. There are multiple positions and multiple balls at the same time. As you keep watching, you’ll start to figure out the strategy,” said McGovern.

Brian Bixler, a utility player for the Grays who played football at Santa Ana College, touted the game’s physicality. “If you come to one of our games you can expect a lot of hitting and a lot of athletic plays,” he said.

“It’s just a really competitive, fun sport. I was not expecting it,” said Mercedes Natali, the manager of the Grays.

Despite the impressive gameplay, Quidditch players have been unable to escape the stigma that surrounds the game.

“The second people show up and they see everyone running around with sticks, they usually just get back in the car and they tell you later that they never saw you,” said Bixler.

“We used to make fun of it,” said Matt McCracken, a former high school football player and star player for the Grays. “It’s different than people think. It’s a contact sport, not just a nerdy sport.”

As the sport originated from a children’s book, it has inspired skepticism, but the game is so compelling that it has transcended its storybook origins. In two hours of the Boise Grays practice on June 10, Harry Potter did not come up once. There wasn’t even a passing reference to the movies or the books.

“On my team we don’t have any die hard Harry Potter fans. They’re mostly just athletes,” said Natali.

Some players think it’s time for the sport to leave its fantasy roots behind.

“The brooms I think are the main inhibitor,” said Bixler. “If they can ever let that go and lose that aspect, it can blow up.”

A debut novelist coming to Rediscovered Books ignites bestseller lists, conversations GEORGE PRENTICE

mentioned that his mom had some property in the Badlands. So, it was a moment of reckoning for me. I really wanted to go out there, even though it was incredibly isolated.

The nearest town had a population of 47 people. There was a profound silence out on that prairie. A bird flying by, chirping, could reduce me to tears. But then there were storms rising out of the Black Hills, with 70-mph winds, lightning and thunder in every storm. And through it all, there I was with my story’s characters, and no one else. That’s really how this novel came to be.

Girls Burn Brighter, the debut novel from Shobha Rao, quickly leapt to a number of this summer’s must-read lists. Vogue calls the book, “incandescent,� and The Los Angeles Times says Rao writes her characters “into life, into existence, into the light of day.�

JOSH GROS S/PUPPE TEERS FOR FE ARS

ARTS & CULTURE MISERY AND ITS COMPANY

Chthulhu: The Musical will bring the puppets and tunes to the Visual Arts Collective.

CHTHULHU: THE MUSICAL COMETH TO GARDEN CITY Josh Gross has made a habit of appending the words “the musical” to his utterances.

One day, while discussing horror author H.P. Lovecraft, he landed on “Chthulhu: The Musical.” Heads turned, and a musical puppet show based on the concept emerged from the ether.

“It’s pure gold for musical comedy,” he said.

Gross and his team, Puppeteers For Fears, will bring Chthulhu: The Musical to the Visual Arts Collective on Friday and Saturday, June 29 and 30. In it, a creepy statue worshipped by a cult is Detective John LaGrasse’s only lead in his search for a missing man, and the case is leading him “out to sea, and towards insanity.

But you know, with singing puppets,” according to the play description.

As a former Boise Weekly writer and editor; one of the early participants in HomeGrown Theatre’s Horrific Puppet Affair series; and a musician and author—his latest visit to the City of Trees was in support of a book about his father—Gross has a reputation in Boise as a media jack-of-all-trades, but the story of Puppeteers for Fears hails from his hometown of Ashland, Oregon, where, during the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, he encountered an actor who studied puppetry in college. She and Gross enlisted some friends to put on a show so successful they were able to take it on the road.

“There’s this urge to redo properties that have been done to death,” he said, acknowledging the ascendent popularity of Lovecraft’s fiction.

Puppeteers for Fears’ elaborate props have been newsworthy novelties in Oregon, and the show has gotten some national recognition, notably on Syfy.com. Initially, Gross expected the puppets to be makeshift and sketchy, and was stunned when the company’s props designer rolled out large, detailed designs.

Much of the inspiration for the show comes from Gross’ experience with HPA, and he described HomeGrown Theatre and Puppeteers For Fears as “cousins” and “peers.” The production doesn’t shy away from entertainment for seasoned viewers.

“There are things you can say with puppets that you can’t say with regular actors,” he said.

“You can give them really strange dialogue and have them break the fourth wall in a way that’s really fun.”

At Idaho Shakespeare Festival, Misery balances horror and humor LE X NEL SON

The Idaho Shakespeare Festival production of Misery on June 12 opened with a signature juxtaposition: As Managing Director Mark Hofflund gave the pre-show announcements, a heavily bandaged, seemingly unconscious man was wheeled onto stage on a bright yellow dolly.

Hofflund continued straight-faced as stagehands deposited the man—the play’s main character, famed author Paul Sheldon—unceremoniously on a single bed, then proceeded to add sheets and pillows, making the bed as though it were empty.

The laugh this bit produced from the audience was the first of many, but it was tinged with a dark edge that became more pronounced as the play continued to turn human suffering into comedy. Misery, which will run in repertory at ISF through Sunday, July 29, is based on the 1987 novel by horror legend Stephen King, which was the origin of the 1990 film starring James Caan and Kathy Bates. It spins the tale of Sheldon, bedridden by a recent car crash, and Annie Wilkes, the nurse who fashions herself as his savior but is soon revealed as his captor.

“This is a story about fame, and loneliness, and love...all the typical horrors of life,” ISF Di-

As Misery progresses, Annie’s bedside manor deteriorates from tender to bone-breakingly rough.

rector Charles Fee wrote in the night’s program.

The truth of that is a testament to Kathleen Pirkl Tague’s performance as Wilkes; despite her descent from besotted rescuer to sadistic avenger, any truly fanatical fan can find just a grain of relatability in her character, a realization as eyeopening as it is unpleasant.

Andrew May, playing Sheldon, was also top-notch. He brought the audience easily into

his character’s traumatized headspace, conveying bafflement, fear and disgust—not to mention ever-escalating pain as his escape attempts failed—even when no dialogue was scripted.

Though May and Pirkl Tague were nearly always alone on stage, the toxic relationship formed between their characters, and the edge-of-yourseat drama it created, had no trouble filling every inch.

ROOTS BRANCHES OUT

Boise online culture platform looks to expand local reach HARRISON BERRY Boise could have a more robust alternative media scene, Jenny Bowler said. The creator of Roots Boise felt there was a gap in the market, and in just over a year, she has helped fill it with something of a multimedia empire, complete with a blog containing written content by local artists, original video and photography, and a podcast.

“I wanted to be able to be a place where people feel like they can get support for what they do,” she said.

Roots Boise first got off the ground in early 2017 and published its first blog post in April of that year. Its podcast, In the Roots, is hosted by Ashley Howell and Jeston Lewis. Other contributors include photographers Kenyon McWilliams and Russ Bashaw, and writers Ben Schultz (a Boise Weekly contributor), Marissa Lovell and Sarah Flick. They’ve plied connections in their respective fields to produce interviews, longform articles and profiles, and Bowler called their work an “extension of the community rather than [news] media.”

It’s an important distinction for her. Roots Boise isn’t a journalistic enterprise so much as a way for artists, writers, photographers, videographers and more to tell stories from Boise’s many cultural cliques, bubbles and silos. As it grew, so did its mission, and Bowler has started using Roots as a way to partner with organizations—it conducted field coverage of The Big Le Boise and Idaho Gives—and promote events and other happenings around town.

The next step, Bowler hopes, will be a glossy print magazine, Uproot, a showcase for photos and reportage that could hit shelves as early as this fall.

“It’s kind of got its own flavor,” she said. “It has its own voice, but it covers things in the creative community. As a designer, I really wanted to do something like this.”

As for the name Roots Boise, Bowler said she’s a “sucker for puns.”

“Obviously it’s trees—City of Trees—but when you talk about where you come from, you talk about where your roots are.”

SCREEN Won’t You Be My Neighbor? is a brilliant, must-see film

COURTESY FOCUS FE ATURES

SEEING IS BELIEVING GEORGE PRENTICE

I’ve spent some time with Oscar winners, Nobel Prize winners, a U.S. president (and a good many president-wannabes), Super Bowl and World Series champions, a Supreme Court justice, a few dozen best-selling authors, two serial killers, David Letterman and hundreds of other men and women that I’m told are important. But I also met Fred Rogers. Now, I know that he’s Mister to the rest of the world, but he told me I could call him “Fred.” Sigh.

It was the mid-1980s and I was working for an NBC affiliate in Pittsburgh. One day, at the invitation of a colleague, I visited WQEDTV, where Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood was produced from 1968 through 2000. As if it were yesterday, I recall walking into the “Neighborhood of Make-Believe” and getting the kind of goosebumps that are exclusively reserved for Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and Mister Rogers. Even now, part of me that believes the greatest castles ever built were made with construction paper and round-tipped scissors.

I was surrounded by tiny castles, tree houses and yes, that famous track where the trolley transported us all to a better world. And then there he was, walking toward me with an arm outstretched to greet me. That smile. That sweater. He was so…well, so Rogersonian. He was exactly the same as he appeared on his television show, maybe even nicer.

“Please George, call me Fred,” he said, smiling as I stammered through an explanation of how much he had meant to me as a kid.

So, you can imagine what a blubbering mess I was (for Pete’s sake, I practically choked up during the opening credits) while watching Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, an amazing new film from Oscar-winning documentarian Morgan Neville (20 Feet from Stardom). I’m guessing you might weep a bit too. Who didn’t love that pastoral figure who looked into our hearts and said, “I like you just the way you are.”

Won’t You Be My Neighbor? is much more than a cinematic scrapbook of a bygone era.

It’s an expertly crafted examination of a man who understood that children needed to learn to speak honestly about feelings of anger, fear and other kinds of hurt. Appropriately, the film includes clips of interviews with Rogers where he spoke rather honestly about his own feelings.

STARTS FRIDAY, JUNE 22 CINEMA CAFE MOVIE RENTALS

Fred Rogers was the voice for all of the puppet characters in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe.

“Love is at the root of everything: all learning, all parenting, all relationships,” he said. But then he looked down for a moment, took a breath and lifted his head to continue.

“Love, or the lack of it.”

In one rather startling black-and-white clip from 1968, the first year Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood

WON’T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR? (PG-13) Directed by Morgan Neville Starring Fred Rogers Opens Friday, June 22, at The Flicks, 646 W. Fulton St., 208-342-4288, theflicksboise.com

went on the air, a puppet kitten, who viewers would soon know as Daniel Tiger (voiced by Rogers himself) has a casual conversation with the very young Betty Aberlin (who appeared on the series for 33 years) about balloons and how nice the weather is. But then, things take a turn.

“What does assassination mean?” Daniel Tiger softly asks, in a voice similar to that of a 5-year-old child.

That same question was being asked by 5-yearolds across the U.S. in 1968, a year in which both Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy were assassinated.

“Have you heard that word a lot today?” Aberlin asks Daniel Tiger, explaining, “Well, it means someone getting killed in sort of a surprise way.”

A short time later, in a separate black-andwhite broadcast aimed at parents, Rogers said, “I’ve been terribly concerned lately about the graphic display of violence. There is just so much that a very young child can take.”

Rogers pleaded with adults watching to take great care in monitoring children’s exposure to violent images. Of course, not much has changed in the half-century since that broadcast, which is why we probably need Fred Rogers now more than ever. Yes, he died in 2003, but if my guess is right, Won’t You Be My Neighbor?—a brilliant, must-see film—will rekindle his spirit and the ultimate lesson that love is indeed at the root of everything. Love, or the lack of it.

PAGE BREAK XYZ? DEAR MINERVA, In a couple of your articles you have used ”LGBTQIA+.” I know what the “LGBT” is. Can you explain the “QIA” and especially the “+” please?

Sincerely, XYZ?

DEAR XYZ, The LGBT initialism has expanded. In an attempt to be inclusive of people who don’t fit within just LGBT, letters have been added to help show support for our friends who are still marginalized.

“Q” is for Queer. While an often controversial term, many people have reclaimed the power of this word and feel most comfortable with it as an identity.

“I” is for Intersex. Intersex people are born with chromosomal, hormonal, glandular or genital differences that do not fit typical definitions of male or female bodies, often resulting in long-lasting issues with gender assignment at birth, stigma, and sometimes unwanted or unnecessary surgical procedures in order to try to make the child fit into a specific definition.

“A” is for Asexual. That’s right. It is NOT for ally. Asexual people feel no sexual attraction to others or desire to have sex. People who identify as asexual are often misunderstood and are stigmatized for that.

The “+” is about acknowledging that the initialism we are currently using does not encompass (nor could it) the incredible diversity of human experience. While people are quick to accept the millions of differences in flora and fauna without question, there are still many people who cannot do so with their fellow humans. Until such time, we must continue being bright, beautiful, visible wildflowers.

MINERVA’S BREAKDOWN

SCRATCH & SNIFF STAMPS The U.S. Postal Service is a Tefloncoated American institution. Rain or shine, its uniformed deliverers bring bills, junk mail and coupons to American mailboxes, battling irate yard dogs and black ice. Despite the drudgery, the Postal Service can still surprise and delight. Starting Wednesday, June 20, it will roll out its first-ever series of scratch-and-sniff stamps: “Frozen Treats Forever,” in Austin, Texas. They feature neat illustrations of ice pops that, when abraded, release sweet, fruity aromas. While olfactory pleasure isn’t something most people associate with the mail, starting this month, people won’t have to hold their noses while opening mystery envelopes.

ASTROLOGY GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Playwright and novelist Samuel Beckett won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969. Four of his works were essential in earning that award: the play Waiting for Godot, and the novels Molloy, Malone Dies, and The Unnamable.

Beckett wrote all of them in a twoyear span during the late 1940s.

During that time, he was virtually indigent. He and his companion Suzanne survived on the paltry wage she made as a dressmaker.

We might draw the conclusion from his life story that it is at least possible for a person to accomplish great things despite having little money. I propose that we make Beckett your role model for the coming weeks, Gemini. May he inspire you to believe in your power to become the person you want to be no matter what your financial situation may be.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I suggest you ignore the temptation to shop around for new heroes and champions. It would only distract you from your main assignment in the coming weeks, which is to be more of a hero and champion yourself. Here are some tips to guide you as you slip beyond your overly modest self-image and explore the liberations that may be possible when you give yourself more credit.

Tip #1: Finish outgrowing the old heroes and champions who’ve served you well. Tip #2: Forgive and forget the disappointing heroes and hypocritical champions who betrayed their own ideals.

Tip #3: Exorcise your unwarranted admiration for mere celebrities who might have snookered you into thinking they’re heroes or champions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “A waterfall would be more impressive if it flowed the other way,” said Irish writer Oscar Wilde. Normally, I would dismiss an idea like this, even though it’s funny and I like funny ideas. Normally, I would regard such a negative assessment of the waterfall’s true nature, even in jest, to be unproductive and enfeebling. But none of my usual perspectives are in effect as I evaluate the possibility that Wilde’s declaration might be a provocative metaphor for your use in the coming weeks. For a limited time only, it might be wise to meditate on a waterfall that flows the other way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Stage magicians may seem to make a wine glass hover in mid-air, or transform salt into diamonds, or make doves materialize and fly out of their hands. It’s all fake, of course—tricks performed by skilled illusionists. But here’s a twist on the old story: I suspect that for a few weeks, you will have the power to generate effects that may, to the uninitiated, have a resemblance to magic tricks—except that your

magic will be real, not fake. And you will have worked very hard to accomplish what looks easy and natural. And the marvels you generate will, unlike the illusionists’, be authentic and useful.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The coming weeks will be a favorable time to accentuate and brandish the qualities that best exemplify your Libran nature. In other words, be extreme in your moderation. Be pushy in your attempts to harmonize. Be bold and brazen as you make supple use of your famous balancing act. I’ll offer you a further piece of advice, as well. My first astrology teacher believed that when Librans operate at peak strength, their symbol of power is the iron fist in the velvet glove: power expressed gracefully, firmness rendered gently. I urge you to explore the nuances of that metaphor.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If I were your mom, I’d nudge you out the door and say, “Go play outside for a while!” If I were your commanding officer, I’d award you a shiny medal for your valorous undercover work and then order you to take a frisky sabbatical.

If I were your psychotherapist, I would urge you to act as if your past has no further power to weigh you down or hold you back, and then I would send you out on a vision quest to discover your best possible future. In other words, my dear Scorpio, I hope you will flee your usual haunts. Get out of the loop and into the open spaces that will refresh your eyes and heart.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sex education classes at some high schools employ a dramatic exercise to illustrate the possible consequences of engaging in heterosexual lovemaking without using birth control. Everywhere they go for two weeks, students must carry around a 10-pound bag of flour.

It’s a way for them to get a visceral approximation of caring for an infant. I recommend that you find or create an equivalent test or trial for yourself in the coming days. As you consider entering into a deeper collaboration or making a stronger commitment, you’ll be wise to undertake a dress rehearsal.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Members of the Dull Men’s Club celebrate the ordinary. “Glitz and glam aren’t worth the bother,” they declare. “Slow motion gets you there faster,” they pontificate. Showing no irony, they brag that they are “born to be mild.”

I wouldn’t normally recommend becoming part of a movement like theirs, but the next two weeks will be one of those rare times when aligning yourself with their principles might be healthy and smart. If you’re willing to explore the virtues of simple, plain living, make the Swedish term “lagom” your word of

power. According to the Dull Men’s Club, it means “enough, sufficient, adequate, balanced, suitable, appropriate.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In the Georgian language, “shemomechama” is a word that literally means “I ate the whole thing.”

It refers to what happens when you’re already full, but find the food in front of you so delicious that you can’t stop eating. I’m concerned you might soon be tempted to embark on metaphorical versions of shemomechama. That’s why I’m giving you a warning to monitor any tendencies you might have to get too much of a good thing.

Pleasurable and productive activities will serve you better if you stop yourself before you go too far.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Please do not send me a lock of your hair or a special piece of your jewelry or a hundred dollar bill.

I will gladly cast a love spell on your behalf without draining you of your hard-earned cash. The only condition I place on my free gift is that you agree to have me cast the love spell on you and you alone.

After all, your love for yourself is what needs most work. And your love for yourself is the primary magic that fuels your success in connecting with other people.

(Besides, it’s bad karma to use a love spell to interfere with another person’s will.) So if you accept my conditions, Pisces, demonstrate that you’re ready to receive my telepathic love spell by sending me your telepathic authorization.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you have cosmic permission to enjoy extra helpings of waffles, crepes, pancakes, and blintzes. Eating additional pastries and donuts is also encouraged. Why? Because it’s high time for you to acquire more ballast. You need more gravitas and greater stability. You can’t afford to be topheavy; you must be hard to knock over. If you would prefer not to accomplish this noble goal by adding girth to your butt and gut, find an alternate way. Maybe you could put weights on your shoes and think very deep thoughts.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’re slipping into the wild heart of the season of discovery. Your curiosity is mounting. Your listening skills are growing more robust.

Your willingness to be taught and influenced and transformed is at a peak. And what smarter way to take advantage of this fertile moment than to decide what you most want to learn about during the next three years? For inspiration, identify a subject you’d love to study, a skill you’d eagerly stretch yourself to master, and an invigorating truth that would boost your brilliance if you thoroughly embodied it.
