HOT, HOT, HOT As temperatures keep soaring across southern Idaho, there’s no cooling us down inside the air-conditioned newsroom of Boise Weekly, either. We’ve got a scorcher of an issue for you.

Staff Writer Harrison Berry lights the fuse in his feature on a recent dance performance from Project Flux called Sentences.

“Someone just told me this is the best work I’ve ever done,” Project Flux artistic director Lydia Sakolsky-Basquill said after the performance.

What was doubly fascinating about Sentences is that the production was inspired by nonfiction penned by inmates at the Idaho State Prison. Read Harrison’s story, “Sentence Fragments,” on pages 6 and 7.

On page 12, I sit down with Nora Harren, one of the young women who co-founded the grassroots movement that resulted in the Jan. 21, 2017, Women’s March on Idaho, one of the largest protests in recent memory. Her activism has only increased in the 1 1/2 years since that historic day.

Contributing writer Will Reid has a preview of rock legend Joe Jackson’s appearance at Boise’s Egyptian Theatre on Sunday, July 29. It will be the end of a long road for Jackson (his current tour has been extended five times). Read Will’s piece on page 13.

Staff Writer Lex Nelson has a couple of tasty stories for you on page 14. First, she takes us to Pineapple Express in Meridian, the latest venture from Hawaiian chef Michael Mohica, who operates the Kanak Attack food truck. She also stopped by Snake River Tea in downtown Boise to try Idaho’s first nitro matcha. It’s all about the bubbles. Bring an appetite when you get to page 14.

Finally, we’ll introduce you to Andrew and Nate Garcia. If you haven’t yet heard of these young Idaho filmmakers, you will soon. They’ve already swept the i48 short film competition for the past three years. More importantly, they’ve been networking in Los Angeles, with hopes of making their big screen dreams come true. Contributing writer Ashley Miller profiles the Brothers Garcia on page 15.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

OPINION FACEBOOK COMMENTS ON BW’S REPORT OF EXTRA LAW ENFORCEMENT PATROLLING THE BOISE RIVER IN THE WAKE OF BRIDGE-JUMPING, FIGHTING AND OTHER ALCOHOL-RELATED ISSUES: Where did common sense go? I will never understand why alcohol needs to be consumed on the river. There are plenty of times to enjoy a cold one. Water and alcohol don’t mix. Go out have fun on the river and save the drink for an after river celebration.

—Shelley Gardner I wish the cops spent more time protecting us from erratic drivers speeding on local neighborhood streets, running through red lights and illegal lane changes. Harassing floaters is as valuable as sitting in donut shops.

—Nancy Goodrum Bridge-jumping and river tubing are not compatible. The city has opted for tubing, and rightly so. So idiot jumper barely missed my daughter as he was seeing how close he could come to our raft.

—Dennis Schrecongost Jumping from bridges is alcohol-related?

Don’t know why this police state we live in feels the need to save people from themselves.

SENTENCE FRAGMENTS

A Boise choreographer is turning prisoners’ writings into dance HARRISON BERRY NATE MCINT YRE PHOTOGR APHY

Project Flux’s Sentences was inspired by the work of inmates participating in a nonfiction writing class at the Idaho State Correctional Center.

T

he dance stopped and the audience rocketed to its feet.

People cried, clapped and turned to their neighbors.

Project Flux’s performances at Ming Studios are usually emotional affairs, but Sentences, which ran June 8-9, was especially poignant.

“Someone just told me this is the best work I’ve ever done,” said the company’s artistic director, Lydia Sakolsky-Basquill.

She was wilting after introducing and performing the piece, responding to a barrage of congratulations and chugging a cocktail of emotions.

Every other week since August 2017, Sakolsky-Basquill made the drive to the Idaho State Correctional Center near Kuna to attend a creative nonfiction writing class for inmates.

Their work, hauled out of the prison and milled through her creative process, became the six-part performance series, Sentences. In the program, Sakolsky-Basquill wrote that Sentences was meant to give “a voice to a population so often unheard” through a process that “has proven to be a rewarding, inspiring and challenging experience.” Prisoners learned to write themselves out of their mental cages, and helped a Boise dance company find new heights for its artistry and authenticity.

“This is the first time I’ve been translating someone else’s voice for an extended period of time,” Sakolsky-Basquill told Boise Weekly before the performance. “It’s like a game of telephone I really don’t want to mess up.”

6 | JULY 18–24, 2018 | BOISEweekly

Project Flux’s standby themes of strained relationships, time and uncertainty are front and center in Sentences, but if there’s something that sets it apart in the company’s canon, it’s focus.

Sakolsky-Basquill and her corps of dancers played up the voices and travails of the inmates, setting several sections to recordings and recitations of their essays and poems. In one instance, dancers with partners clinging to their backs trudged across the stage as fellow performer Evan Stevens recited “Dearest R.J. Reynolds,” a heartfelt breakup letter to a tobacco company by Byron Sanchez, who is serving time for injury to a child and threatening a judicial officer. In another, the audience heard the recorded voice of John Warner, serving for a DUI, read “I Wanted My Life.”

As if in acknowledgement of Project Flux’s role as a translator for the prisoners’ written work, originals of their writings were collected and bound, and along with a few loose copies of their poems and prose hanging from the ceiling by string, put on display around the walls at Ming. Sakolsky-Basquill urged attendees to read them after the show, and long after the dancers left the stage, audience members remained to explore those texts.

The dance company has worked toward something akin to Sentences for years. Project Flux often performs not to music, but to prose or ambient sounds. In the past, it has bucked against the presumptive order of things by composing choreography first, only later layering it with a recording of a spoken-word perfor-

mance by actor Benedict Cumberbatch. Sakolsky-Basquill often uses popular music or signature motions to act as interstitial tissue between sections of her performances; in Sentences, she used “Hit That Jive” by Gramatik to stitch together the exhibition— then set an entire section inspired by a group poetry exercise in the prison to the song. The sound of a metronome marked the passage of time felt by inmates, but that changed when one of the dancers was placed into solitary confinement, and the sound switched to a ticking clock counting down the seconds to a more tolerable form of imprisonment.

The real voices of inmates bouncing off the walls of Ming Studios, and Sakolsky-Basquill’s attentiveness to their lived experiences, extended Project Flux’s theoretical and disruptive traditions while offering real-world principles.

“...IT ONLY REINFORCES THAT YOU AREN’T WORTH ANYTHING.” The drive between downtown Boise and the Idaho State Correctional Center is not far, but south of Gowen Field, traces of the city evaporate from the landscape, replaced by bunch grass, khaki soil and a pale sky. By the time ISCC visitors reach its blacktopped parking lot, civilization feels like a dream. The contrast between freedom and life at the prison is just as jarring, and during a trip there in May, Sakolsky-Basquill recalled an inmate asking her, “Why are you here?”

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

NATE MCINT YRE PHOTOGR APHY

“I got emotional right away,” she said. “I just want to remind people we’re all the same.”

The prison classroom is located next to the chapel down a long, narrow hallway that reminded Sakolsky-Basquill of Eagle High School, both for how it looked and the penetrating, institutional smell of cafeteria food. The desks had been arranged seminar-style, with informational and inspirational posters on the walls. It looked like a high school classroom until the pupils arrived in their forest-green, v-necked prison togs.

Technically, it’s Marla Archibald’s classroom. During the class, the then-17-year GED instructor sat, mostly silent, behind a desk near the door. The creative writing instructor was Shane Brown, who also teaches creative writing at the College of Southern Idaho. Dressed in a polo shirt, jeans and brown leather shoes, he sat in an office chair at the head of the classroom and opened the three-hour session by addressing a general concern: In the beginning, the class had approximately two dozen students, but since then, it had whittled down to half that—“The assholes have been weeded out,” as SakolskyBasquill put it—and the remaining students knew other inmates who were interested in taking the class. Could other people join?

Brown laced his fingers behind his head and spread his knees. The question wasn’t unreasonable, but there were perils to reopening enrollment.

“Nothing will make this fall apart faster than trust going away,” he said.

A HUNGER TO MAKE AN IMPACT ON THE WORLD

Little actual writing took place during the class, but there was a lot of prompting: Sakolsky-Basquill challenged the students to write about something they’re proud of, there was lengthy philosophical discussion, and one classmate read a whole chapter from a novel he was working on about his experiences in the Vietnam War. At the end of the class, Sakolsky-Basquill, Brown, King, Sanchez and another inmate—Chris Shanahan, who is serving time for murder and robbery—went in search of a place to have a more intimate discussion. They found one in the chapel broom closet, already crammed with plastic storage containers and, for some reason, electric guitars.

There, Sanchez said the nonfiction class was a chance to “revisit an opportunity I’d chosen to miss,” having turned down a chance to study journalism at the University of Rochester in 1991. Writing, he said, helped him “analyze some things,” but he admitted there were a number of aspects of his life that were still too raw for him to address in class or on paper.

“There are some scabs that are best left unpicked,” he said.

Sitting next to Sanchez, King talked about feeling “ready to reel it in.” He had been in lockup for 17 years, he said, and the environment had nearly crushed him. Nonfiction writing has introduced him to new ideas and, more importantly, a group of peers.

“It’s amazing,” he said. “I’ve never had anybody in my life say I’m good at something, and I can do better.”

ISCC had already allowed them to stage a reading to other prisoners—a first-ever for Idaho inmates Brown described later as “life-changing for everyone”—but people in the class stressed how valuable it would be for their work to have an audience outside the prison walls. During class, Brown had talked about restorative justice—a process of community reconciliation and rehabilitation that is at the heart of some criminal justice systems around the world—and the inmates said they were hungry to have an impact beyond the cinderblock walls and barbed wire of the prison. Shanahan described an intense desire for “something positive to come from [his] experience.”

“For me, it was seeing seeing this mountain of grief that came from this crime that I committed,” he said. “I had this thought that I could make a bad situation worse, or I can It was as though these people had waited a lifetime for that make it better.” trust. During open discussion, which took up the first half of Sakolsky-Basquill developed the Sentences project after the class, Brown and the students spoke philosophically about meeting Brown through College of Southern Idaho Director the importance of teaching self-worth to young people, and of Community Enrichment Camille Barigar. Brown taught several of the inmates talked about their parents and teachers high school for 15 years, where he learned his “favorite prophesying they’d end up in jail. students to teach in high school were the marginalized ones, “When you come here, it only reinforces that you aren’t worth the ones that come from a disadvantaged background.” At anything,” said Josh King, who is serving time for murder.

BASQUE BLOCK PARTY

BOISE PUBLIC LIBRARY OPEN HOUSE SERIES

Basque culture has deep roots in Boise, and Boise loves Basque culture right back. Thursday, July 19, will be a good example. With San Inazio still a week away (and Jaialdi not rolling back into town until 2020), the businesses on the Basque Block have decided to turn up the live music for a night of cultural pregaming. Each $40 ticket includes pintxos and paella from The Basque Market, performances from the Oinkari Basque Dancers and the Goizaldi Basque Dancers, and after-dinner dancing in the street. Head over to the Basque Block in downtown Boise to stuff your face and shimmy the night away.

6-9 p.m., $40. The Basque Block, Grove Street between Sixth Street and Capitol Boulevard, oinkari.org/eat-drinkdance-be-basque.

The recently revealed plans for Boise Public Library’s new downtown main branch are stunning, including proposed hightech changes like a book-retrieving robot and aesthetic bonuses like landscaped rooftops. But there’s still plenty of work to be done to make the concept a reality, and the BPL is looking to Boiseans for help. A series of workshops to get the public involved kicked off July 16, and there are three more evening sessions planned for this week at various library branches, including Hillcrest (July 18), Collister (July 19) and the current Main Library (July 20). If you’re not already booked for the day of the workshop near you, be sure to snag a seat, and if you are, share your ideas online at cityofboise.org/imagine.

Odds & Ends

CALENDAR EXTRA MAMMA MIA!: WE WOULD GO AGAIN At Idaho Shakespeare Festival’s July 3 performance of Mamma Mia!, the fourth out of a 28-show run, Managing Director Mark Hofflund kicked off the musical by announcing that the remaining performances were already sold out. After seeing the production ourselves, we can tell you unequivocally that it’s well worth the hype.

Thanks to a 2008 film adaptation starring Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan and Amanda Seyfried, the sequel of which comes out this month—not to mention a 14-year run on Broadway that wrapped in COURTESY IDAHO SHAKESPE ARE FESTIVAL 2015—Mamma Mia!’s upbeat tale of paternal drama set on an idyllic Greek island has already reached a good number of U.S. households. And even if it hadn’t, the ABBA songs that inspired it and fill its soundtrack have been stuck in the nation’s collective heads since the ‘70s.

As for ISF’s July 3 interpretation, if ever a performance could be described as a romp, this would be it. From the sparkling throwback costumes leading ladies Jillian Kates, Laura Welsh Berg and Jodi Dominick occasionally donned to the powerhouse vocals and full-cast dances, everything was exuberant and overblown, pulling the audience immediately into the fun and prompting a few to sing along. Yet even the more rom-com-esque aspects of the show had serious undertones: Donna Sheridan (Kates) regularly questioned her daughter Sophie (Kailey Boyle) about her need to get married so young, bolstering already-present female empowerment themes. Despite the emphasis on romance and fatherhood, it was the mother-daughter relationship—and the tearful dedication with which it was portrayed in the heartstrings-tugging ballad “Slipping Through My Fingers”—that stole the show.

ALIVE AFTER FIVE: THE STONE FOXES, GROVE PLAZA, JULY 18 A long string of successful bands have been built on the bedrock of siblings teams, with Heart, AC/DC, Van Halen, The Beach Boys and The Avett Brothers among them. San Francisco-based rockers The Stone Foxes, which started as the pet project of brothers Shannon and Spence Koehler, aspires to the same heights. And with four studio albums, regular festival appearances and a new EP, Visalia (Buff Records, 2017), on its resume, the group has a track record of delivering its anthemic, foot-stomping sound to the nation.

Balancing country twang with old-school rock n’ roll guitar riffs, The Stone Foxes describes itself as an experience “to sweat with,” making it a perfect fit for the blazing heat of Boise’s Alive After Five stage.

It was December 2016 when we first met Nora Harren who, along with fellow high school student Colette Raptosh, was in the early stages of sending what would be a resounding message.

In the wake of President Trump’s election, Harren and Raptosh were the driving force behind the January 21, 2017, Women’s March on Idaho rally. The massive protest attracted global attention, and the young women were instantly recognized as examples of the next generation of human rights leaders.

Raptosh graduated from Capital High School this spring and is preparing to head off to the University of Utah. Harren, meanwhile, has just finished her first year at Western Washington University, where she’s holding down a double major in energy policy and management. Back in Boise for the summer, Harren, now 19, sat down with BW to talk about her uphill endeavors, both figurative and literal.

How has your life changed since January 2017?

I feel like the biggest change since then, in a very broad sense, is that I’m a lot more willing to take big leaps, even if they don’t necessarily succeed. I’ve seen what hard work can do, and I know that it’s always worth it to go for the big leap. I’ve seen myself being a bit bolder since the march.

The thing that impressed me, right from the start, was your resilience in the face of a good deal of criticism from strangers. What advice might you give your younger self in weathering that storm?

Now, I ask myself, “Is this going to matter in five years? Two years? One year?” And my answer is almost always, “No.” So I wish, back then, [that] I would have asked those same questions.

Whatever I was doing back then, or anything I’m doing now, is going to have a much bigger impact and a much more positive impact than the impact that that criticism ever would have had.

So, let’s talk about your big climb earlier this year.

Mount Shasta. Well, I always wanted to do something big and bold. [At more than 14,000 feet, Shasta is the second-highest peak of the Cascade Mountain Range.]

12 | JULY 18–24, 2018 | BOISEweekly

How did that happen? Was it on your wishlist?

I was backpacking with friends in Utah during spring break, and my friend said she and a friend were going to climb Mount Shasta this summer. So I had to do it.

How did you prepare?

For 2 1/2 months, we’d wake up at 4 a.m., run stairs and later take a 7- or 8-mile hike, then head to class.

My guess is that we’ll try something a little lowerelevation first and then get back to Mount Shasta.

And the climb was a big test.

One of us suffered from severe altitude sickness pretty close to the top.

I hope you can appreciate the metaphor of your climbing mountains.

You think that politics is completely different from climbing a mountain, but then it’s completely the same. It’s all about trying again.

How did that sickness manifest itself?

“I KNOW THIS SOUNDS A BIT CORN Y, BUT IT’S VERY USEFUL FOR ME TO CONTINUE TO PR ACTICE GR ATITUDE.”

It started with a headache, but it got worse and worse. And we were told that when altitude sickness strikes, you can start losing your ability to communicate if you climb any higher.

The only thing was to go back down. It’s really random. It can happen to anyone. We got back to base camp and she started feeling better as she was [getting] hydrated. By the time we got all the way down to the parking lot, she was doing much better.

Are you inclined to try again, since you didn’t make it to the top?

Absolutely. I’m going back. My friend who got sick was the first to say, “We have to go back.”

I’d be remiss if I didn’t ask you about your being honored at the inaugural Marilyn Shuler Forum on Human Rights this past February.

I was so proud of that amazing moment, because I know of all her amazing accomplishments.

She was quite a lady. Through all of her battles, she was formidable, resilient and always respectful—quite a contrast to the angry, frustrated, nasty vibe of 2018.

I constantly have to remind myself that groaning and complaining is not productive.

I’m always asking myself, “What solutions can you talk about?” And I know this sounds a bit corny, but it’s very useful for me to continue to practice gratitude.

Let’s talk a bit about what your life will look like for the next couple of years.

This summer, Collette and I are working pretty hard on establishing a really strong foundation for People for Unity in Idaho. We’re spending a lot of time with the next generation of high school students. When a student approaches one of us to thank us for what we’ve done, our response is usually, “Well, if you’re really interested, come join us. Let us show you how it’s done, because it’s not as hard as it looks.”

Are you ready to pass that baton?

That’s the plan.

THE END OF THE ROAD FOR NO OPENING ACT Joe Jackson concludes long run at Boise’s Egyptian Theatre WILL REID

By now, British singer-songwriter Joe Jackson has seen more American towns than most U.S. presidential candidates. Since 2015, he and his band have played across the U.S., Canada and Europe in support of his latest album, Fast Forward (Work Song, 2015). Come Sunday, July 29, he’ll hit The Egyptian Theatre—his first concert in Boise, but the final show of a tour that was never supposed to last this long.

Jackson extended his run five times, and each time, all of the shows were sellouts. It’s not hard After repeatedly extending the Fast Forward tour, Joe Jackson will make Boise his official final stop. to spot the irony—a Fast Forward tour that was continuously on repeat.

No doubt, Jackson found a recipe that albums played up that eclecticism. In 1982, he ease acquired over years of touring.

SummerFest will run Sunday-Sunday, July 22-29.

MCCALL SUMMERFEST RETURNS, DEBUTS FLAMENCO GUITAR CONCERTO If McCall is Boise’s backyard, SummerFest is its classiest garden party of the year.

Each July, the McCall Music Society throws a weeklong soiree featuring a series of classical and pop concerts by the 50-piece SummerFest Orchestra and a rotating host of soloists at various spots across town. This year, the music will run Sunday-Sunday, July 22-29, and while all of the usual entertainment, including a free family concert at Mountain Life Church on Saturday, July 28, remains, there’s something new to pique the interest of string lovers: a performance of Joaquin Rodrigo’s “Concierto de Aranjuez” on Tuesday, July 24, featuring Slovenian flamenco guitarist Mak Grgic backed by the SummerFest Orchestra.

“There are lots of piano and violin concertos, but there are very, very few concertos that incorporate the guitar,” said MMS President Richard Surbeck. “So we’re excited about that.

That’s going to be a different kind of music than we’ve had in the past.”

Called “a guitarist to keep an eye on” by The Washington Post, Grgic has co-founded two musical ensembles and performed in locations as far-flung as New York City, Croatia, Slovenia and Korea, but he keeps a part-time home in McCall.

“He’s in and out of the country,” said Surbeck. “When I spoke to him the other day he was leaving Frankfurt and heading to Madrid.”

Grgic won’t be SummerFest’s only star.

Over the course of the week, he’ll trade the stage with fellow soloists Rachel Tyler and Tim Fain. Tyler (performing Thursday, July 26, and Sunday, July 29) is a British vocalist and regular cabaret performer in both Las Vegas and Las Angeles, while Fain (Saturday, July 28), the Montana violinist who collaborated with composer Nicholas Britell on the award-winning film Moonlight, is a returning musician and, according to Surbeck, a local favorite. Plus, renowned conductor David Itkin is back for his fourth year guiding the orchestra to new aural heights.

Apart from the free family event, tickets run from $25 for the opening performance alone to $75 for a three-concert series. Find a full schedule, including pricing, times and locations, at mccallmusicsociety.org.

SAY ‘ALOHA!’ TO PINEAPPLE EXPRESS

Kanak Attack’s Meridian storefront brings a taste of Hawaii to the Gem State LE X NEL SON Yes, the name of the restaurant is Pineapple Express—but it’s the sweet Hawaiian fruit, not Seth Rogan and James Franco’s 2008 pothead comedy, that takes the stage there. Located at 499 S. Main Street in Meridian, Pineapple Express is the latest venture into sit-down dining from Hawaiian chef Michael Mohica, who owns the food truck/catering business Kanak Attack and ran Ono Hawaiian Cafe, an upscale eatery on Broadway Avenue, until it closed in 2012.

This latest storefront feels more like a riff on Kanak Attack’s fast-service style and laid-back vibe than a return to the Ono heyday. The blue and white decor scheme, not to mention the full-sized pineapple sitting jauntily on every table, trumpets life on the beach almost as loudly as the piped-in island tunes. Guests order at the counter and can

A warming station near the register holds paper boats of dessert egg rolls and heavily sugared Filipino-style malasada donuts, in case the sweet punches of pineapple, coconut and cane sugar in the entrees aren’t enough to satisfy.

Before the plates are even served up, the smells of caramelized sugar and roasted meat that fill the

air are mouthwatering. And that first instinct to load up on entrees like Kalua pig, Korean braised brisket and teriyaki chicken isn’t to be ignored: The juicy, flavorful meats are clearly Pineapple Express’ specialty, and outshine the spam-andpineapple fried rice (a true Hawaiian classic, if bland and served a bit cool) and spicy, kimchistyle side salads by a mile. If you haven’t made it to the Pacific Islands in person yet, this is your best bet to try some authentic eats—but Boise vegetarians may not want to bother with the cross-town trek.

FOOD/NEWS SNAKE RIVER TEA DEBUTS IDAHO’S FIRST NITRO MATCHA When Snake River Tea’s nitro matcha bubbles out of the keg, it’s as green as fresh-mown grass.

The brew eddies and swirls in the glass under foamy crema, looking just a little bit alive.

“In doing it nitro, those fine little bubbles—just like in Guinness beer—they give it a nice creamy body, and they make it a little bit sweet,” said Snake River Tea owner Sue Neal. “Sometimes green teas can be a little bitter, have a bit of those tannins in them, but doing it with nitro takes all that away.”

Neal came up with the idea of serving the nitro-infused tea after passing a Starbucks and seeing advertisements for nitro coffee; when she got home and googled “nitro matcha,” the closest shop she came up with was B Sweet, a dessert bar in Los Angeles. Although Whole Foods stocks a canned version of B Sweet’s nitro matcha, the Boise location doesn’t offer it.

“I couldn’t get samples of it or anything, so we were toying with [the idea] and we decided, ‘Let’s

2017 HUGL WEINE GRUNER VELTLINER, $14.99 Snappy lime and peach aromas lead off this wine, along with a hint of spice and mineral. The flavors are marked by bright lime, citrus zest and crisp acidity. This is a very fresh and fruity wine, the most refreshing of the three, which is not surprising given its more recent vintage.

L E X N E L SON

Some 20 years back, Austria’s Gruner Veltliner (aka GrooVee) was the hot new thing. Every sommelier worth his or her certification embraced GrooVee with unbridled enthusiasm. But fads fade, and for a time, Gruner fell out of favor. I’m happy to say it’s making a comeback, though locally, it’s still just a blip on the radar. Most of what’s available is entry-level, often value packed in liter bottles. Still, they’re crisp, refreshing, food-friendly wines that are just the thing for summer. Here are the panel’s top three picks:

just go for it. It’s got to be good,’” Neal said. She bought a kegerator, a few kegs and a handful of large containers to mix the matcha in, and started to experiment, getting advice from the staff at Woodland Empire Ale Craft. After a series of taste tests, nitro matcha made its way onto Snake River Tea’s menu, selling at $4.75 for a 12-ounce glass.

Neal said that as far as she knows, her shop is the first in Idaho to offer a house-made version of the brew, and she hopes the popularity of nitro will introduce matcha to a new crowd. Her shop has long pushed the intense, hand-ground, whole-leaf version of green tea for its health benefits, including its high antioxidant and amino acid levels.

Even with the novelty of nitro, the tea is still clearly a health drink, with strong herb notes that are mellowed by the nitrogen but come through on the finish. What really takes it up a notch from traditional matcha is the mouthfeel: It’s thicker and creamier without the benefit of milk, and the thick foam recalls the satisfaction of a latte.

PAGE BREAK HEADS UP DEAR MINERVA, You state strong opinions with class, yet somehow avoid the current abusive socio-political fray in our country. What would you recommend to keep such a well-focused perspective?

—Sincerely, Fray Melee

DEAR FRAY MELEE, While I definitely have my opinions on the sociopolitical status of our country, I don’t receive questions to the column regarding politics very often. As for keeping a well-focused perspective, I have my moments when I lose that perspective. We all do. When I think that issues are getting out of hand and the world is spinning out of control, I take a minute to remember that I can’t control what other people are going to do in their lives. What I can do is remember what kind of person I want to be, what kind of people I want to associate with, and what kind of world I want to have. That will lead my decisions and allow me to remain at least somewhat graceful. I actively force myself not to “scream into the void,” but to rather use my words where I feel they can be the most helpful. Politics are important. I don’t negate that. Society is still showing us where we aren’t up to par in our treatment of our fellow humans. Knowing oneself, one’s values and what one stands for allows for clarity. Then “walking the walk” is much easier when it’s time to walk around, or, as the case so often is, through the abusive fray. Avoiding the fray isn’t an option. Keeping our heads up is.

JAN, EDAN, EUSKALDUNA IZAN (EAT, DRINK, BE BASQUE) Second only to Jaialdi, the San Inazio Festival, which takes place FridaySunday, July 27-29, is the Basque version of St. Patrick’s Day, where anyone and everyone gets to be from the Old Country for a huge party, loads of drinking and, of course, Basque food, which has become a famous feature of life in Boise. While it’s easy to learn to love chorizo and paella at San Inazio, few may realize how simple it is to take the Basque culinary tradition home with them. Jan, Edan, Euskalduna Izan, which translates to Eat, Drink, Be Basque, makes a perfect introduction to Basque cuisine for the home chef. A publication of The Basque Museum in the Basque Block, this spiral-bound gem has recipes for simple appetizers like Txorixo Pintxoak (chorizo pintxos made from chorizo, tomato sauce and beer) and lamb stews, to more advanced dishes like clams and rice, stuffed squid, and cold tongue with oil and vinegar.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

ASTROLOGY CANCER (June 21-July 22): Self-described skeptics sometimes say to me, “How can any intelligent person believe in astrology? You must be suffering from a brain dysfunction if you imagine that the movements of planets can reveal any useful clues about our lives.” If the “skeptic” is truly open-minded, as an authentic skeptic should be, I offer a mini-lecture to correct his misunderstandings.

If he’s not (which is the usual case), I say that I don’t need to “believe” in astrology; I use astrology because it works. For instance, I have a working hypothesis that Cancerians like myself enjoy better-than-average insight and luck with money every year from late July through the month of August. It’s irrelevant whether there’s a “scientific” theory to explain why this might be. I simply undertake efforts to improve my financial situation at this time, and I’m often successful.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Here are some of the fine gifts you’re eligible for and even likely to receive during the next four weeks: a more constructive and fluid relationship with obsession; a panoramic look at what lies below the tip of the metaphorical iceberg; a tear-jerking joyride that cracks open your sleeping sense of wonder; erasure of at least 20 percent of your self-doubt; vivid demonstrations of the excitement available from slowing down and taking your sweet time; and a surprising and useful truth delivered to your soul by your body.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): During the last three months of 2018, I suspect you will dismantle or outgrow a foundation. Why? So as to prepare the way for building or finding a new foundation in 2019. From next January onward, I predict you will re-imagine the meaning of home. You’ll grow fresh roots and come to novel conclusions about the influences that enable you to feel secure and stable. The reason I’m revealing these clues ahead of time is because now is a good time to get a foreshadowing of how to proceed.

You can glean insights on where to begin your work.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A reader asked Libran blogger Ana-Sofia Cardelle, “How does one become more sensual?” I’ll ask you to meditate on the same question. Why? Because it’s a good time to enrich and deepen your sensuality. For inspiration, here are some ideas that blend my words with Cardelle’s: “Laugh easily and freely. Tune in to the rhythm of your holy animal body as you walk. Sing songs that remind you why you’re here on earth. Give yourself the luxury of reading books that thrill your imagination and fill you with fresh questions. Eat food with your fingers. Allow sweet melancholy to snake through you.

Listen innocently to people, being warm-hearted and slyly wild. Soak up colors with your eager eyes. Whisper grateful prayers to the sun as you exult in its gifts.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “If people aren’t laughing at your goals, your goals are too small.” So says bodybuilder Kai Greene. I don’t know if I would personally make such a brazen declaration, but I do think it’s worth considering—especially for you right now. You’re entering into the Big Bold Vision time of your astrological cycle. It’s a phase when you’ll be wise to boost the intensity of your hopes for yourself, and get closer to knowing the ultimate form of what you want, and be daring enough to imagine the most sublime possible outcomes for your future. If you do all that with the proper chutzpah, some people may indeed laugh at your audacity. That’s OK! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): This mini-chapter in your epic life story is symbolically ruled by the fluttering flights of butterflies, the whirring hum of hummingbird wings, the soft cool light of fireflies, and the dawn dances of seahorses. To take maximum advantage of the blessings life will tease you with in the coming weeks, I suggest you align yourself with phenomena like those. You will tend to be alert and receptive in just the right ways if you cultivate a love of fragile marvels, subtle beauty, and amazing grace.

BY ROB BREZSNY CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I swear the astrological omens are telling me to tell you that you have license to make the following requests: 1. People from your past who say they’d like to be part of your future have to prove their earnestness by forgiving your debts to them and asking your forgiveness for their debts to you. 2. People who are pushing for you to be influenced by them must agree to be influenced by you. 3. People who want to deepen their collaborations with you must promise to deepen their commitment to wrestling with their own darkness. 4. People who say they care for you must prove their love in a small but meaningful way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You will never find an advertisement for Nike or Apple within the sacred vessel of this horoscope column.

But you may come across plugs for soul-nourishing commodities like creative freedom, psychosexual bliss and playful generosity. Like everyone else, I’m a salesperson—although I believe that the wares I peddle are unambiguously good for you. In this spirit, I invite you to hone your own sales pitch. It’s an excellent time to interest people in the fine products and ideas and services that you have to offer.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Would you do me a favor, please? Would you do your friends and loved ones and the whole world a favor?

Don’t pretend you’re less powerful and beautiful than you are. Don’t downplay or neglect the magic you have at your disposal. Don’t act as if your unique genius is nothing special. OK? Are you willing to grant us these small indulgences? Your specific talents, perspectives, and gifts are indispensable right now.

The rest of us need you to be bold and brazen about expressing them.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Take a lover who looks at you like maybe you are magic.” Whenever that quote appears on the Internet, it’s falsely attributed to painter Frida Kahlo. In fact, it was originally composed by poet Marty McConnell. In any case, I’ll recommend that you heed it in the coming weeks. You really do need to focus on associating with allies who see the mysterious and lyrical best in you. I will also suggest that you get inspired by a line that Frida Kahlo actually wrote: “Take a lover who looks at you like maybe you are a bourbon biscuit.” (If you don’t know what a bourbon biscuit is, I’ll tell you: chocolate buttercream stuffed between two thin rectangular chocolate biscuits.)

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Here’s what author Franz Kafka wrote in his diary on August 2, 1914: “Germany has declared war on Russia. I went swimming in the afternoon.” We could possibly interpret his nonchalance about world events to be a sign of callous self-absorption. But I recommend that you cultivate a similar attitude in the coming weeks. In accordance with astrological omens, you have the right and the need to shelter yourself from the vulgar insanity of politics and the pathological mediocrity of mainstream culture. So feel free to spend extra time focusing on your own well-being. (P.S.: Kafka’s biographer says swimming served this role for him. It enabled him to access deep unconscious reserves of pleasurable power that renewed his spirit.)

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Am I delusional to advise a perky, talkative Gemini like yourself to enhance your communication skills? How dare I even hint that you’re not quite perfect at a skill you were obviously born to excel at? But that’s exactly what I’m here to convey. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to take inventory of how you could more fully develop your natural ability to exchange information. You’ll be in robust alignment with cosmic rhythms if you take action to refine the way you express your own messages and receive and respond to other people’s messages.
