EDITOR’S NOTE WE’VE GOT ISSUES This week’s issue is about… well, issues. We’re now just a few days away from what most pundits are calling the biggest midterm election in recent memory. To be sure, there are plenty of candidate profiles and debates filling the region’s newspapers and airwaves. Instead, this week’s Boise Weekly focuses on a couple of issues that cut across party lines, yet could ultimately separate the winners from losers.

On page 6, I talk to officials at Conservation Voters for Idaho who have entered the “all-hands-on-deck” phase of the campaign, manning phone banks, knocking on doors and throwing their much-coveted endorsement to candidates in some of Idaho’s tightest contests.

On page 7, contributing writer Cassidy Richey asks whether Idaho’s youngest voters will be energized by this year’s election or disengaged, which has pretty much defined young voter’s participation, or lack thereof, in previous elections.

Then, BW’s Lex Nelson takes us backstage at The Lion King for a rare visit with the massive production’s puppet supervisor, who has helped pull the strings of the roaring success that the show has enjoyed at the Morrison Center. Check out Lex’s interview with Michael Reilly on page 8.

While we’re on the topic of theater, BW’s Harrison Berry has a thought or two on page 9, where he reviews The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, the season opener at Boise Contemporary Theater.

I’ll return on page 10 to preview What They Had, an exciting new film co-starring two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank alongside Blythe Danner, Michael Shannon and Robert Forster. I’ll also preview another film opening this week: The Happy Prince, starring Rupert Everett.

Finally, on pages 12 and 13, we’ll visit with the fine folks of Foot Dynamics, who are about to launch a week-long celebration of their 10th anniversary on Main Street in downtown Boise.

NEWS CONSERVATION: THE BIPARTISAN ISSUE DRIVING IDAHO’S TIGHTEST ELECTIONS “There will be races that come down to the last 100 votes.”

GEORGE PRENTICE

FINDING THE POLITICAL COURAGE

6 | OCTOBER 31 – NOVEMBER 6, 2018 | BOISEWEEKLY

Washburn told Boise Weekly. But CVI’s lack of endorsement isn’t due to indecision. In fact, Washburn said her organization feels anyone would be an improvement over lame duck Idaho Governor C.L. “Butch” Otter.

“Honestly, we didn’t see the need to endorse [either Little or Jordan]. Both of these candidates reflect a dramatic change from the past.

Both Little and Jordan bring their own conservation credentials,” she said.

Absent any gubernatorial endorsement, CVI has made endorsements in two dozen Idaho

“Diana is a fascinating candidate. I think the last time there was a Democrat on the Ada County Commission was several years ago.

Diana is running a different campaign and she’s not taking anything for granted,” said Washburn. “This is not an easy task. Running for office is one part of your political life. Governing is another part of your life, and those skillsets are often not the same. Diana, at least in my opinion, has the full package.”

As far as Idaho legislative contests, Washburn said CVI is keeping a very close eye on the contest for Idaho House Seat 26 A, where Republican incumbent Rep. Steven Miller (R-Fairfield) is defending against Democratic challenger Muffy Davis of Sun Valley.

“I’m pretty excited about Muffy Davis. We’re hearing that Steve Miller is way out of touch with constituents in the Wood River Valley, particularly on conservation issues,” said Washburn.

“Turnout in that race will be incredibly important because Miller won that seat by just over 200 votes two years ago.

Things like outdoor recreation, public lands, clean water and clean air are the lifeblood of that community … Keep a close eye on that race on election night.”

The real game-changer in this election cycle? That would be the Latinx demographic—the growing number of Idahoans with Hispanic roots.

“That demographic is, undoubtedly, the future. We’ve brought on board a new voting rights associate, Antonio Hernandez. He’s awesome. He’ll be responsible for Latinx voter registration and engagement,” said Flores.

With so much energy focused on the final days and hours of GOTV, you might assume that Washburn, Flores and their CVI colleagues are due for some rest come Wednesday, Nov. 7.

Don’t believe it for a second.

“After the election, we shift toward supporting the candidates who have survived the process,” said Washburn.

And then there’s the looming 2020 election, which will not only see the entire Idaho Legislature, but the White House on the ballot.

“The 2020 election cycle?” Washburn asked.

“It feels like it has already started.”

MAT THE W EDWARDS

For Vote Smart, a nonprofit organization that conducts nonpartisan, voter-driven research, courage is summed up in the answer to a simple question: “We ask candidates, ‘Are you willing to tell Americans where you stand with the issues you will face if elected?’” Walker McKusick, Vote Smart national director, told Boise Weekly from his organization’s Iowa headquarters.

“It serves one purpose: to see whether candidates will be honest in their applications for a very important job. They are representing us, after all, and operating on our behalf.”

If candidates are willing, Vote Smart’s research team asks them about a dozen more questions relating to key issues. But since the founding of their nonprofit in 1992, Vote Smart representatives said fewer politicians complete the PCT due to fear of opposition research from their challengers.

“We have a strict policy against candidates using our resources in any partisan activities or attack ads,” McKusick said.

In 1992, 72 percent of politicians nationwide completed the the PCT. By 2014, that number had shrunk to 25 percent.

Vote Smart says the majority of congressional candidates on Idaho’s ballot, including incumbent Republican Congressman Mike Simpson and his challenger, have completed the PCT; but Republican Russ Fulcher declined to participate. Meanwhile, only 19 percent of candidates for the Idaho House or Senate finished the test. None of this year’s Idaho gubernatorial candidates had the “political courage” to complete the PCT. Even though it’s the Vote Smart team that gathers the PCT data, researchers say it’s “average, everyday citizens” who have urged candidates to complete the test.

“Multiple candidates this year told us that their reason for taking the Political Courage Test is that they were urged to do so by voters,” said Peter McLaughlin, Vote Smart director of elections and candidates research.

Vote Smart officials said millions have already accessed their PCT data, making the information a critical voter research tool, particularly in the current climate.

“People do want the facts,” said McKusick.

“Vote Smart is founded by the principle that facts absolutely matter.”

Welcome to GOTV week. The letters G-O-T-V are plastered on whiteboards inside campaign war rooms across Idaho, and any candidate who admits to not knowing they mean “Get Out The Vote” does so at his or her own peril. True, early voting has been robust across the Gem State—particularly in Ada County—for nearly three weeks. But election officials statewide have braced themselves for unusually high voter turnout come Tuesday, Nov. 6, particularly for a midterm election.

“It’s all hands on deck,” said Rialin Flores, program director for Conservation Voters for Idaho. “It’s knocking [on] doors, it’s mailers, it’s digital, it’s phone calls, it’s answering questions, it’s making sure that you’re getting what you need. It’s all of those things, because I promise you: There will be races that come down to the last 100 votes. Every vote does matter.”

CVI, which engages with voters year-round in every corner of Idaho who say they want to “create a political environment to protect the natural environment,” hits full stride come election time. By election day, CVI staff and volunteers will have personally engaged with tens of thousands of voters who have yet to cast ballots.

“We do our work totally in a nonpartisan way,” said Flores. “Obviously, a good many people have come into this election cycle through a partisan lens. But statewide, what we know is that beyond their particular party affiliation, people care about conservation values.”

Perhaps most importantly, CVI throws its endorsement and resources to select candidates.

This fall, for example, CVI says it’s endorsing no less than 30 candidates up and down the ballot, all hopefuls it says are “committed to protecting our lands, clean water and air for future generations.”

That said, CVI is not offering its much-coveted endorsement in the state’s highest-profile contest: the race between Republican Lieutenant Governor Brad Little and Democratic challenger Paulette Jordan to see who will be Idaho’s next governor.

“We’re not giving our endorsement to either candidate,” CVI Executive Director Courtney

House and Senate races. But Washburn is particularly enthused about a local race, the race for Ada County Commissioner, featuring Democrat Diana Lachiondo’s challenge to Republican incumbent Jim Tibbs.

When asked who was the most impressive candidate in the current election cycle, Washburn said, “That’s easy. It’s Diana Lachiondo.”

A fourth-generation Idahoan and director of community partnerships for the City of Boise, Lachiondo is a political newcomer. And she’s taking on Tibbs, a 34-year veteran of the Boise Police Department and former member of the Boise City Council now seeking a third term on the Ada County Commission.

BOISE STUDENTS STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH PEERS IN CLIMATE CHANGE SUIT

Gubernatorial candidates Brad Little (left) and Paulette Jordan (right) made a concerted effort to engage with young Idahoans at an Oct. 2 candidate forum on the campus of the College of Idaho.

IDAHO’S YOUTH VOTE: ENERGIZED OR DISENGAGED? Organizers insist that young adult turnout is critical CASSIDY RICHE Y At least until voters actually cast a ballot, this year’s midterm elections are all about expectations.

And with high hopes for a robust turnout of young voters at the polls, it was no big stretch to expect a good-sized crowd of students on Oct. 2, when the College of Idaho hosted Democrat Paulette Jordan and Republican Lieutenant Governor Brad Little, both running for Idaho governor, in a rare appearance on the same stage. The hundreds of seats were quickly snapped up, and C of I’s Langroise Recital Hall reached capacity a full 30 minutes before the forum got underway. But a quick survey of the hall revealed that less than a quarter of those in attendance were students, many of whom live just a few hundred feet away.

“Young adults just don’t care about voting because they just don’t see any benefits. Candidates don’t talk about issues they’re concerned about and students don’t see how it could affect their lives,” Dr. Jasper LiCalzi, chair of the college’s Department of Political Economy and moderator for the forum, told Boise Weekly. “You need to show why it’s meaningful—why they should care.”

Right on point, both Jordan and Little made a concerted effort during the forum to zero in on a younger demographic.

“I want to create an atmosphere where our kids, our grandkids and children can prosper here in Idaho,” said Little in his opening remarks.

“We have a lot of enthused young people who want to see where we’re going with the future of our state,” said Jordan.

“It’s beneficial to me as a young voter because they’re bringing things to light that I didn’t already know about,” College of Idaho senior Jesus Hernandez told BW. But Hernandez’s enthusiasm is the exception: According to a report in The Atlantic, only about a third of Americans ages 18 to 29 are “absolutely certain” that they’ll vote in this year’s midterms. That’s in sharp contrast to other age groups. For example, 81 percent of seniors (age 65 and over) say they’ll cast a vote.

That’s reason enough for Treasure Valley student organizations to try and drum up interest in the election. At Boise State University, Political Science Association President Kennedy Gelnette said students should be “very tuned in” to the electoral process.

“There’s a lot at stake, for BSU specifically, in this year’s election because we’ve had the same governor in Idaho now for quite some time,” said Gelnette, referring to soon-to-retire, four-term Governor C.L. “Butch” Otter.

“We’re severely underfunded in comparison to other state institutions.”

At the College of Idaho, Sejko Muradbegovic, president of the Young Dems club, was even more plain-spoken.

“Whoever wins, in the simplest terms, gets to define the real voice of Idaho, and define our politics for the upcoming years to come—it’s as simple as that,” he said.

More than ever, college clubs like the Young Democrats and Republicans, and the Political Science Association, have been trying to mobilize students toward the polls. The presidents of each organization told BW that they’re noticing increased political interest in their peers.

Ivy Smith, president of the Young Dems club at Boise State, enthused, “The blue is growing. We’re no longer a small voice.”

Even an increased number of younger Idahoans, including those not yet able to cast ballots, are engaged this fall. For example, 17-year-old Kielee Rustiei, a high schooler at the Idaho Virtual Academy, is interning this fall with the Paulette Jordan campaign. She said she’s not alone in her enthusiasm.

“Generation Z is the next revolutionary generation,” Rustiei told BW. “We are technology natives. We are smart enough to figure out the truth for ourselves at such a young age.”

All that said, it comes down to casting a ballot, either through early voting or on Tuesday, Nov. 6.

“If you don’t vote, you’re not changing anything.” Pryse Robinson, the president of the Boise State Republican Club, told BW. LiCalzi put it another way.

“You should vote because it’s something you want to do—vote because it’s part of being a part of our society,” he said.

The Obama Administration may seem like forever ago, but it was in 2015, at the tail end of the 44th president’s tenure, that a group of Oregon students filed suit against the U.S. Government. At issue was whether feds were doing a good enough job ensuring constitutional rights to life, liberty and property, specifically by protecting the environment.

Their suit, Juliana v. U.S., was set to go to trial Oct. 29, but in the latest of a long series of maneuvers, the Trump administration was granted a delay. That didn’t stop a group of Boise high school students, members of the Climate Justice League, from assembling at the Ada County Courthouse on Oct. 29 as a show of support for their peers and their long legal battle.

“I’m terrified,” said Timberline High School senior Rose Thompson speaking through a bullhorn while flanked by other students. “Not just because I have three college applications due on Thursday or a math test on Friday, but because my future is in jeopardy.”

Thompson was one of more than a dozen students participating in the Idaho chapter of the Sierra Club’s push to shed light on Juliana v. U.S. The students crafted 21 works of art, one for each student involved in the Juliana case, showcasing how climate change will impact Idaho, from decreased winter precipitation that threatens the ski industry with low snowfall to hotter summers and reduced water levels in Idaho’s rivers and streams.

Timberline High School senior Ian Hadrick said he was “really frustrated” by government’s unwillingness to take on the issue with the immediacy and seriousness he thinks climate change deserves. According to a recent report released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the effects of climate change will come sooner and be more extreme than previously anticipated, and those effects will be most felt by people who are young today. The lack of action, Hadrick said, “feels like a kick in the face to all these youth voices.”

“You shouldn’t just be walking by this,” he said. “There are people who are disconnected. ... I want them to know they should do something.”

The celebrated play features exceptional acting and outstanding set design HARRISON BERRY Christopher’s story begins in a rather terrifying place, with him crouched over a dog, Wellington, that has been gored by a pitchfork.

Soon, others join him: the dog’s owner, Mrs. Shears (Marissa Price); and a policeman (Mason Clark). Suspicion falls on Christopher, but he’s quickly discounted as a suspect in the dog’s death. Audiences watching Boise Contemporary Theater’s season opener, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, won’t get to wipe their brows yet, however—Christopher is clearly somewhere on the autism spectrum, and the drama kicked off by Wellington’s apparent murder is just getting started.

About once a season, a play staged in Boise gets everyone talking, and in the second half of 2018, Curious Incident is that play. If the City of Trees turns out for one production between now and New Year’s, let this one be it. At a time when real-world virtues like caring and perseverance seem embattled, Curious Incident shows a wellspring of people’s true strengths.

Christopher, played by the uncommonly talented Davey Collins, struggles to understand people, particularly how they use metaphors and nonverbal communication, but after being cleared of wrongdoing in the death of Wellington, there he is, beating the halls of the apartment complex where he lives with his father, Ed (Arthur Glen Hughes), in search of the real killer. His sleuthing—and the many awkward and humorous encounters it produces—only agitates Ed, whose decision to put the kibosh on Christopher’s investigation

Davey Collins stars as Christopher in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time at BCT.

kicks into motion a harrowing story about love, loss and forgiveness.

A stage adaptation by Simon Stephens of Mark Haddon’s eponymous novel, Curious Incident is widely celebrated, and won seven Olivier awards in 2013, including Best New Play. Happily—or, just as well, stressfully—BCT’s production does it great justice, featuring luminous performances and literally brilliant set design. Collins’ performance as the bewildered and frightened, but also tremendously courageous, Christopher is both emotionally and physically strenuous; and there is something Jiminy Cricket-ish, if not outright angelic, about Ravin Patterson, who plays his special education instructor, Sioban.

The stage is as spare as the performance is lush. Instead of building an apartment building, school interior, train station and a

small chunk of London for the play, scenic and lighting designer Rick Martin took a minimalist approach, composing a vague and geometric interior out of illuminated vertical and horizontal beams, as well as a backdrop full of cubbies, compartments and trap doors.

The effect is that the audience sees the world as Christopher sees it, not as a sequence of distinct and interpretable environments, but as a dizzying cascade of inputs and vectors.

At its heart, Curious Incident is a story about growing up, and it isn’t spoiling the play to say that in the end, Christopher is palpably more mature, his feet firmly on the path toward his personal and professional goals. For a young man who, an act earlier, struggled to walk across a train station, that’s a huge personal journey—one audiences will keenly feel.

Arguably the best-known wine region of Spain, the indigenous Tempranillo is Rioja’s primary red grape, though it is often blended with Garnacha and Graciano. In the past, the wine was aged for years in large wooden casks, resulting in a rustic style. Modern methods and a more relaxed aging regimen prevail today.

CITIZEN MICHAEL REILLY The Lion King’s puppet supervisor on last-minute fixes, stage magic and pulling the strings LE X NEL SON

Toronto-born Michael Reilly has been with Broadway’s traveling production of The Lion King almost since its debut in 1997 (he joined the crew in 1999, taking just one hiatus to work on shows like Lord of the Rings and Wicked) but even drama diehards might not recognize his face. That’s because Reilly is the production’s puppet supervisor, a behind-the-scenes job that’s vital, but far from the spotlight.

“There are three of us in the department, and there are 230 puppets in the production,” Reilly told Boise Weekly before the show’s Oct. 17 opening at The Morrison Center. “So everything from as small as a mouse to as large as an elephant.”

Reilly splits his downtime between Toronto and his wife’s hometown of Hagerstown, Maryland, but we reached him on the road—where The Lion King keeps him busy year-round—to talk about pulling the strings of a Broadway production.

time something strange or funny or puppetryrelated came up, it just seemed like I was the person to get asked. So it just kind of evolved into puppetry.

How commonplace would you say puppetry is in Broadway productions? Is The Lion King an exception to the rule?

Yes and no. You know, everything is cyclical, so of course puppetry has hundreds and hundreds of years in theater and [has an] arts background.

But it kind of fell out of favor for a long time. I

“IF SOME THING BRE AKS ... WE’RE THERE IMMEDIATELY WITH TAPE AND ZIP TIES AND WHATE VER IT WILL TA KE TO FIX IT AND GE T THAT PUPPE T BACK ON STAG E, BECAU SE THE SHOW ’S NOT STOPPI NG .”

quite right we’re there immediately with tape and zip ties, and whatever it will take to fix it and get that puppet back on stage, because the show’s not stopping.

Having seen The Lion King myself, I think it’s important to note that these aren’t your typical puppets. Can you speak to what makes this production different?

It’s interesting because when people think of puppets they tend to think of marionettes, or sock puppets, or hand puppets. And you know, it’s so many different things in The Lion King, but one of the main sort of tenets that we adhere to is that we don’t hide our puppeteers.

And that’s very important, because these are actors and their main tools are their voices and their faces, [that’s] their way to emote. So you see the human, but you also see the puppet. If they’re wearing a mask on top of their head or they’re handling a puppet, you see both, and you have that puppet and human side to both of them. And we play with that. We’ll separate the human and the puppet at some points, and just have the human addressing [Simba]. Or we’ll take the puppeteer away and we’ll just have the puppet. … So playing with that, and allowing that kind of duality, I think really is engaging for the audience because it forces them to really think about both aspects of this lion king—he’s animal, but of course he still has these human characteristics, too.

I don’t think many kids grow up dreaming about being puppet supervisors—what drew you to this career?

I grew up in the theater. My mother was in the theater and I was backstage a lot. I remember very early on, [when I was] maybe 7 years old, I got to meet Big Bird backstage, and he took off his enormous head and it was a pretty indelible moment for me in my life. In fact, I still can see in my mind exactly where it happened and my reaction. It was a big deal. And then I went to technical school. I just like to work with my hands, and I had no clue what I would do … I learned a lot of different things, like carpentry and metalwork and welding and electrical and painting, all kinds of crazy things. And then I kind of fell backwards into theater myself when I was 16. They needed somebody to work in the wardrobe department at the last minute.

think The Lion King was certainly a mainstream way to bring it back into Broadway theater. ...

Of course now, there is all kinds of puppetry on stage, in everything from War Horse to Wicked.

Are there any special tricks you use to pull off that on-stage magic?

It’s just a different way of telling the story, and there’s no sort of trick to it. You just trust that your audience understands that the puppets are the animals and the humans are the humans and they’re together. It’s a marriage, almost.

And what production was that?

This was Cats. So they asked me, “Do you want to come and be a dresser on Cats for the night?” And I was like, “Yeah, okay!” So I did that at 16 and I just fell in love with it. And then having my technical background … Every

Tell me a bit about your day-to-day on set.

Our job is mostly during the day before the show, repairing and fixing problems on the puppets. But during the show we are on radio, just in case something were to happen. So if something breaks or something’s not working

I’ve got to ask—do you have a puppet that’s your personal favorite?

You know, I always say Mufasa is kind of representative of our show. He’s a big circle mask, he kind of is the circle of life all in his face, so that’s my favorite.

In the opening moments of What They Had, an achingly wonderful new film starring Hilary Swank, Blythe Danner, Michael Shannon and Robert Forster, we see Ruth (Danner) matter-offactly get out of bed, grab a sweater and handbag, and step outside into a Chicago snowstorm.

Ruth’s silhouette fades as we see her walking away from us, but first-time director Elizabeth Chomko chooses instead to tighten her focus on Ruth’s snowy footprints. Chomko doesn’t overplay the metaphor, only holding the lens on the footprints for a second or two, but it’s impossible to dismiss the imagery.

In July 2011, I sat down with Dr. Troy Rohn, scholar and researcher and Boise State, to talk about what he called “the epidemic of our times”—Alzheimer’s. At the time, Rohn told me that there were enough Idahoans diagnosed with Alzheimer’s to fill Bronco Stadium. And since that conversation, research has indicated that Alzheimer’s could triple in the United States by the year 2050. To that end, What They Had’s Ruth represents many of us. With her increasing difficulty remembering people, places or things, Ruth’s memory is fading as fast as her footprints in a snowfall.

STARTS FRIDAY, NOV. 2 CINEMA CAFE MOVIE RENTALS

In the film, Ruth’s disappearance from home triggers frantic, middle-of-the-night phone calls to her daughter Bridget (Swank) and son Nicky (Shannon). And precisely 21 minutes and 30 seconds into the film come the words that too many of us have either had to say or hear when faced with our own family crises: “Dad, we need to talk,” says Bridget.

“She’s my girl. You can’t take my girl away from me,” protests Ruth’s husband Bert (Forster), insisting that her place is with him at home instead of in a memory-care facility.

Chomko spent three years penning her film’s script after receiving a screenwriting fellowship from no less than the Motion Picture Academy.

Her story is intensely personal, following her own grandmother’s diagnosis of Alzheimer’s.

“The journey of loving my grandmother, and each other, through memory loss was more profound than I could have imagined,” Chomko said at last month’s premiere of What They Had at the Toronto International Film Festival. “It brought my family closer together and pulled us apart, and prompted all of us to sort of come of age, no matter how old we were. It was heartbreaking, of course, but it was also life-affirming, and spiritual, and absolutely hilarious.”

Indeed, What They Had confirms that hilarity comes at the most unexpected moments.

“Grandma just drank the holy water,” says a shocked granddaughter, Emma (Taissa Farmiga), following a Christmas Mass at the neighborhood Catholic church.

“Well, at least she’s hydrated,” says the nonplussed Nicky.

“In the saddest moments of our lives, the heaviness has to be broken, and that’s often with laughter,” said Swank, beaming at the TIFF premiere. “Capturing that on film can easily fall flat, but Elizabeth [Chomko] is both emotionally aware and intellectually acute.”

To be sure, there has been an endless stream of Hollywood films and Broadway plays about families dealing with Alzheimer’s, some of them very good (2014’s Still Alice, which won Julianne Moore an Oscar, jumps to mind), but What They Had is elevated from the pack by its quartet of amazing performances. Forster and Shannon are always great, and Swank reminds us why she already has two Best Actress Oscars on her shelf.

But, above all, this is Danner’s film. Watching her, I was quickly swept back to a time when she was a winsome ingenue in Butterflies Are Free (1969).

But that was a good many snowfalls ago.

SCREEN EXTRA ANYTHING BUT HAPPY The Happy Prince, an ambitious passion project written, directed by and starring Rupert Everett, is so specific with its portrait of a rapidly declining Oscar Wilde in his final days that the film is a must-see for those wild about Wilde. But for anyone outside of that circle, it’s a bit of a slog.

10 | OCTOBER 31 – NOVEMBER 6, 2018 | BOISEWEEKLY

We are reminded that Wilde was perhaps the planet’s most famous literary figure in 1895, having penned no less than The Picture of Dorian Gray, Salome, An Ideal Husband, The Importance of Being Earnest and, of course, The Happy Prince, but Everett’s film focuses instead on how Wilde was imprisoned for two years with

hard labor for “gross indecency,” and was crucified by a society that once idolized him.

In The Happy Prince, we see Wilde on his deathbed in a cheap Parisian hotel room, looking back on a life of many highs and even more lows. It is a very particular tale of the dark side of genius. Everett (My Best

Friend’s Wedding) reminds us, with painstaking effort, what a world-class artist he is, but sadness reigns in The Happy Prince. An even sadder footnote: Wilde was not pardoned by the British Government for acts “no longer considered offenses” until 2017.

Cheers to Ten Years, Foot Dynamics!

TEN YEARS, THOUSANDS “I’m always thinking about all the

THANKS FOR BEING THE SOLE OF GURU DONUTS!

GEORGE P Jeff Jacobs’ crush on Boise is very particular, yet somehow familiar to anyone who fell in love with the City of Trees and quickly decided to set down roots. For Jacobs, his heart skipped a beat in January of 2008.

“I had visited Boise before, but I really needed to see if the ski scene was all I heard it was,” said Jacobs, who’d booked a room at a downtown Boise hotel on a rather snowy weekend. “I walked to a parking lot where they picked up a bunch of skiers and took us all up to Bogus Basin. It was a pretty amazing morning. I came back downtown later that day and started looking around.”

When Jacobs looks around, he looks through the lens of an entrepreneur and business owner.

The son of a winter Olympian—his dad competed in Nordic Combined skiing in the 1952 Oslo Olympics—Jacobs lived in both New York’s Adirondack Mountains and Colorado’s Rocky Mountains before beginning a storied career in outdoor recreation and ultimately creating the Foot Dynamics company in 1998 in upstate New York. Ten years later, following that “amazing” trip to Bogus, Jacobs bought a home in Boise’s North End and met the woman he’d fall in love with. But perhaps most importantly, he also scoped out a vacant storefront on Main Street in downtown Boise.

“I think the first footprint was about 3,700 square feet, something like that,“ said Jacobs.

That was then. A decade and multiple expansions later, Foot Dynamics is at least three

(208) 571-7792 • 928 W. Main Street, Ste. 100, Boise • www.GuruDonuts.com

times larger. It serves customers from across the continent, and also happens to be smack-dab in the middle of a revitalized section of Main Street, just west of Boise’s downtown core. “I had a vision of a dynamic, single location, and it had to be downtown: a shoe store, for sure, but also a clinic, an orthotics lab, everything in one location where we could be like… well, like L.L.Bean, you know? It’s a destination in your soul as much as the soles of your feet.”

Speaking of soles, a visit to Foot Dynamics showroom is, “I HAD A well, dynamic unto itself. When Boise Weekly stopped in one O F A DY weekday afternoon, the store was filled with a wide-ranging SINGLE L demographic of would-be cusAND IT HA tomers: well-suited professionals, students of all ages, seniors and DOWNT even children carted in by their parents to shop for their first footwear. But the real “soul” of Foot Dynamics was behind a series of doors, where technicians in an orthotics lab were busy creating 3-D models of feet belonging to people from across the U.S. “Look over here,” said Jacobs, pointing to a stack of models. “These are from the University of Wisconsin. All of their athletes have had their foot orthotics verified here, so we can supply them with the right footwear.”

S OF FEET, MILES TO GO people we’ve helped over the years.”

PRENTICE

In fact, scores of foot models filled multiple shelves around the orthotics lab, each with the last name of the owner printed on the heel. It was a fascinating clinical display.

“We keep these for no longer than 90 days, because the foot is constantly evolving,” said Jacobs. “That said, we get calls all the time from around the country, because a doctor has a patient [and] he wants another pair made within that 90-day window.”

Indeed, it’s usually a trip to a physician that triggers the A VISION creation of a 3-D foot model and custom orthotics from Foot YNAMIC , Dynamics. Typically a man or woman visits with a podiatrist OCATION, who diagnoses something like AD TO BE plantar fasciitis, one of the most common causes of heel pain TOWN.” which, left untreated, can literally bring someone’s life to a halt.

“We get the call from the doctor or the patient, [then] we get to work and make a foot impression and a foot orthotic gets underway,” said Kevin Chapman, Foot Dynamics’ general manager. “We hear a lot about heel pain, back pain, knee pain. Your feet are your foundation, and nearly everything else is involved.”

Chapman told BW that issues such as contracted toes, bunions or calluses can be the result

of something as simple as wearing the wrong shoe size, or something as complex as equinus.

“I think equinus is an epidemic in our society right now,” said Chapman. “Think of that calf muscle of yours; perhaps the Achilles tendon, and the tightness in the calf can be the root cause of nearly 90 percent of all foot problems that we’ve been seeing. Why is it happening? Think of it, nobody squats to talk to a neighbor anymore. No one really stretches anymore. Think of our chairs, our toilets and our elevated shoes. That tightness in your calf is exacerbating so many problems.”

And Jacobs said those problems can start early—he’s even seen kids come in with foot issues.

“We’ve got moms walking in our door with children who have serious foot problems. Six years old, five years old, even younger,” he said.

“We see kids walking with their ankles dragging on the ground and some pediatrician has told the mother, ‘Well, he might grow out of it.

Don’t worry about it.’ But we can fit that child with the right shoe to help [them] develop the right muscle tone. It’s a huge difference in that child’s life.”

Which is why, Jacobs said, Foot Dynamics is more of a passion than a business.

“Ten years? It doesn’t seem like 10 years at all,” he said, looking around like a proud dad. “... I’m always thinking about all of the people that we’ve helped over the years. Now, that’s an anniversary to celebrate.”

BOGUS BASIN 68TH-ANNUAL SKI AND SNOWBOARD SWAP Skiing and snowboarding aren’t just sports in the Treasure Valley—when the first powder comes down, they’re a way of life. To make sure you’re fully equipped for this winter’s adventures, the Bogus Basin Ski Education Foundation is back with its annual Ski and Snowboard Swap for the 68th year in a row. The premise of the swap is simple: Just bring your used ski and snowboard equipment to Expo Idaho Thursday-Saturday, Nov. 1-3, and watch eager snowhounds snap it up during the three-day sale. If your equipment sells, BBSEF will take 25 percent of the proceeds, then mail you a check for the other 75 percent. And if you don’t have anything to sell, no worries—you’re still welcome to shop until you drop.

KNOCK ‘EM DEAD FUNDRAISER For more than 30 years, it has been dinner and a show at Knock ‘em Dead Theatre. At first, it was Boise’s only dinner theater company— albeit one with a curse: Over the years, it has been bumped from multiple locations. Now, after its latest attempt to find a permanent home fell through, it’s raising funds to continue its mission of bringing, well, dinner and a show to the City of Trees. On Saturday, Nov. 3, it will throw A Night to Celebrate at The Grove Hotel, a bash featuring live music from Broadway shows like Titanic, Les Miserables and Pirates of the Penzance performed by the likes of Leta Harris Neustaedter, Misty Taylor, Bea Allen and Brent Jones; and an intermission auction with The River DJ Ken Bass. Up for grabs are Axiom gym memberships, tickets to Zoo Boise and the Old Pen, restaurant gift certificates and more.

You are what you eat.

FOOD EVOLUTION: A DOCUMENTARY Food is ubiquitous—we eat it three times a day, after all—but this most basic of needs has somehow become a tricky subject. With controversy over GMOs, the viability of eating organic and the way climate change has altered our agricultural landscape all airing in the news, the dinner table can sometimes feel like a minefield. That’s where Food Evolution: A Documentary comes in. Clocking in at 92 minutes, Food Evolution takes a deep dive into “the emotions and the evidence” behind today’s food arguments, aiming to put science in the spotlight. Even better, when it screens at the Egyptian Theatre on Wednesday, Nov. 7, it will be followed by a Q&A with one of its star scientists.

While local catering company Wild Plum Events’ elegant aesthetic is at first glance the polar opposite of the cartoon funland of Bob’s Burgers, husband-wife owners Alex Cardoza and Tara Morgan aren’t letting that stop them from paying homage to one of their favorite TV shows.

“We’re big Bob’s Burgers fans. We actually have a tradition where we watch it every Sunday after family dinner,” Morgan told Boise Weekly. “It’s a super witty show filled with the best puns ever. Our event space was actually a burger joint before we moved in, Tom Sweeney’s Dutch Oven Cafe, so we’ve been brainstorming doing a Bob’s Wild Plum Events is set to celebrate Burgers-inspired pop-up for a long time and finally decided Bob’s Burgers. to give it a go.”

In a nod to the clever creations of the fictional burger joint, the menu for Wild Plum’s pop-up on Friday, Nov. 2, will be as loaded with puns as it is with grass-fed beef. Options include the Sharp Cheddar Dressed Man (a classic cheeseburger), the Beets of Burden (a vegan, beet-based burger), the Morel Majority (topped with local morels and gruyere), the Wham Bam Thank You Ham (stacked with local house-cured ham) and the Pastrombie Apocalypse (starring, you guessed it, pastrami). The burgers will run from $8 to $10, and they can be paired with a Livin’ on the Wedge salad and washed down with beer, wine or whiskey soda cocktails, which Morgan said are “a nod to Bob’s Thanksgiving whiskey day-drinking adventure.”

The event is unticketed and open to the public, an annual tradition for Wild Plum, so plan for a long line and plenty of entertainment, whether from the kitschy diner decor, the costume-clad staff or fellow attendees joining in on the Bob’s Burgers-themed tomfoolery.

“We’ll have service staff to grab drinks for folks while they’re waiting to order their burgers and some other surprises to entertain people in line, but we hope people are understanding and show up with a fun, chill attitude,” said Morgan. “And we’ve also got some sweet prizes we’ll be handing out for the best costumes, so we hope people bring it!”

If you’re up to the challenge, stop by Wild Plum’s event space at 1621 N. Orchard St. on Friday between 6 and 9 p.m.

BILLY STRINGS—7 p.m. $15. The Olympic

When FADER premiered Molly Burch’s single, “Wild,” from her new album First Flower (Captured Tracks, 2018), it called her funky tracks “pretty rock music that stings.” That sting is all in the lyrics. Burch’s voice—which is by turns deep and robust, whispered and breathy—brings the rest, although her jazzmeets-bossa nova style isn’t like anything you’d expect to hear on a rock station. In “Wild,” she switches vernaculars as easily as she does octaves. Following up on her debut album Please Be Mine (Captured Tracks, 2017) in quick succession, First Flower is the kind of wormhole record that will be perfectly at home at The Funky Taco in Boise, where Burch will perform Saturday, Nov. 3. Stop by to explore a new altrock frontier.

FAMILY AND FRIENDS, NEUROLUX, NOV. 7 The song names alone on Family and Friends’ latest alt-rock album, Felix Culpa (selfreleased, 2018), are evocative of the band’s style: “Houndstooth,” “Ouroboros,” “So Within // So Without,” “Youth and Young,” “Shivers,” and “Double Vision,” to name a few. This is a group that’s plain on its face—five young 20-somethings making easy-listening, anthemic music with southern college roots—but highly intelligent underneath. Translated from Latin, the name of its latest album means “happy fault” or “blessed fall,” a nod to both the happy accidents that bring people together and music into being, and the Christian story of original sin bringing man low. And it lives up to its name, too, with dueling drummers and energetic tracks self-described as “U2’s Boy meets Greta Gerwig’s Lady Bird.” Catch Family and Friends at Neurolux while you can.

If I occasionally enjoy having a lady join in the fun with my boyfriend and I, does that make me “bisexual” or just “bi-curious?” I seem to be straddling some sort of line. I do love a woman’s body and thoroughly enjoy these encounters. My boyfriend has been supportive of my curiosity and has always been in on the fun. We’ve been together for 13 years in a fabulous relationship.

Our trysts have always been positive and have never caused any trouble. I hope to continue having these encounters. I honestly struggle with wondering if this makes me bisexual or not. Please give me your thoughts.

—Bi or Curious?

DEAR BI, Your sexuality is your own to define. Common understanding of these terms would point in one direction. Someone who is bi-curious is someone who has not experimented with it but has just thought or fantasized about it. Once you take the plunge, you are experimenting at the very least. Perhaps you are “heteroflexible,” but it sounds like you enjoy other women.

There is a stigma associated with bisexuality. That shouldn’t stop you from claiming it as your truth if you feel it is. I don’t think that simply having your boyfriend present changes that. You don’t have to claim any label if you don’t want to and ultimately you make your own rules.

Sexuality is often fluid (with research to back it up). After all, just because you eat a carrot once in a while, doesn’t mean you’re a vegetarian.

BUILT TO SPILL AND YOUTH LAGOON BEERS FROM FOAM BREWERS

Everything the owners of Burlington, Vermont-based Foam Brewers do is a little bit quirky—from posting a poetic “Ode to Foam” on their website to naming beer releases after their favorite bands, movies and more. Though Vermont is a bit of a haul from the Gem State, two of Foam’s beers feature bands from a whole lot closer to home for Boiseans—Built to Spill and Youth Lagoon, which both pioneered their nationally recognized music in the City of Trees. Youth Lagoon is an 8 percent Double IPA and retails at $18 for a four-pack (with tasting notes of citrus, passionfruit and lychee), and Built to Spill has matching characteristics but different flavors. Each sport their own snazzy can art from nearby Burlington artists. If you’re a fan of either band, these decorated cans, which are only available directly from the brewery and subject to limited releases, are a must-try.

ASTROLOGY

BY ROB BREZSNY

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Penetralia” is a word that means the innermost or most private parts, the most secret and mysterious places. It’s derived from the same Latin term that evolved into the word “penetrate.” You Scorpios are of course the zodiac’s masters of penetralia. More than any other sign, you’re likely to know where the penetralia are, as well as how to get to them and what to do when you get to them. I suspect that this tricky skill will come in extra handy during the coming weeks.

I bet your intimate adeptness with penetralia will bring you power, fun, and knowledge.

missing from our lives. We imagine that we lack an essential quality or experience, and its absence makes us feel sad and insufficient. French philosopher Blaise Pascal referred to this emptiness as “a God-shaped hole.” Bono adds that “you can never completely fill that hole,” but you may find partial fixes through love and sex, creative expression, family, meaningful work, parenting, activism and spiritual devotion. I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because I have a strong suspicion that in the coming weeks you will have more power to fill your God-shaped hole than you’ve had in a long time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian poet Rainer Maria Rilke suggested that we cultivate an alertness for the ever-present possibility of germination and gestation. On a regular basis, he advised, we should send probes down into the darkness, into our unconscious minds, to explore for early signs of awakening. And when we discover the forces of renewal stirring there in the depths, we should be humble and reverent toward them, understanding that they are as yet beyond the reach of our ability to understand. We shouldn’t seek to explain and define them at first, but simply devote ourselves to nurturing them. Everything I just said is your top assignment in the coming weeks.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Most of our desires are cliches, right? Ready to wear, one size fits all. I doubt if it’s even possible to have an original desire anymore.” So says a character in Gemini author Tobias Wolff’s short story “Sanity.” Your assignment in the coming weeks, Gemini, is to refute and rebel against this notion. The cosmic rhythms will work in your favor to the degree that you cultivate innovative yearnings and unique urges. I hope you’ll make it your goal to have the experiences necessary to stir up an outbreak of original desires.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’re in the phase of your cycle when your influence is at a peak. People are more receptive than usual to your ideas and more likely to want the same things you do. Given these conditions, I think the best information I can offer you is the following meditation

by Capricorn activist Martin Luther King Jr.: “Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian environmentalist Edward Abbey spent much of his life rambling around in the great outdoors. He was an emancipated spirit who regarded the natural world as the only church he needed. In an eruption of ecstatic appreciation, he once testified that “Life is a joyous dance through daffodils beneath cerulean blue skies and then, then what? I forget what happens next.” And yet the truth is, Abbey was more than a wild-hearted Dionysian explorer in the wilderness. He found the discipline and diligence to write 23 books!

I mention this, Aquarius, because now is a perfect time for you to be like the disciplined and diligent and productive version of Abbey.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): For renowned Piscean visual artist Anne Truitt (1921-2004), creating her work was high adventure.

She testified that artists like her had “to catapult themselves wholly, without holding back one bit, into a course of action without having any idea where they will end up. They are like riders who gallop into the night, eagerly leaning on their horse’s neck, peering into a blinding rain.” Whether or not you’re an artist, Pisces, I suspect your life in the coming weeks may feel like the process she described. And that’s a good thing! Enjoy your ride.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You have officially arrived at the heart of the most therapeutic phase of your cycle. Congratulations! It’s an excellent time to fix what’s wrong, hurt or distorted.

You will attract more help than you can imagine if you summon an aggressive approach toward finding antidotes and cures. A good way to set the tone for your aggressive determination to feel better is to heed this advice from poet Maya Angelou: “Take a day to heal from the lies you’ve told yourself and the ones that have been told to you.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): U2’s singer Bono, born under the sign of Taurus, says that all of us suffer from the sense that something’s

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you’re a typical member of the Cancerian tribe, you’re skilled at responding constructively when things go wrong. Your intelligence rises up hot and strong when you get sick, rejected or burned. But if you’re a classic Crab, you have less savvy in dealing with triumphs. You may sputter when faced with splashy joy, smart praise or lucky breaks. But everything I just said is meant to be a challenge, not a curse. One of the best reasons to study astrology is to be aware of the potential shortcomings of your sign so you can outwit and overcome them. That’s why I think that eventually you’ll evolve to the point where you won’t be a bit flustered when blessings arrive. And the immediate future will bring you excellent opportunities to upgrade your response to good fortune.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Each of us needs something of an island in her life,” said poet John Keats. “If not an actual island, at least some place, or space in time, in which to be herself, free to cultivate her differences from others.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, Leo, you’ll be wise to spend extra time on your own island in the next two weeks. Solitude is unlikely to breed unpleasant loneliness, but will instead inspire creative power and evoke inner strength. If you don’t have an island yet, go in search! (P.S.: I translated Keats’ pronouns into the feminine gender.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I’m rooting for you to engage in experimental intimacy, Virgo. I hope you’ll have an affinity for sweet blends, incandescent mixtures and arousing juxtapositions. To get in the right mood for this playful work, you could read love poetry and listen to uplifting songs that potentize your urge to merge. Here are a few lyrical passages to get you warmed up. 1. “Your flesh quivers against mine like moonlight on the sea.” -Julio Cortazar 2. “When she smiles like that she is as beautiful as all my secrets.” -Anne Carson 3. “My soul is alight with your infinitude of stars . . . The flowers of your garden blossom in my body.” -Rabindranath Tagore 4. “I can only find you by looking deeper, that’s how love leads us into the world.” -Anne Michaels LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Of course I want you to have more money. I’d love for you to buy experiences that expand your mind, deepen your emotional intelligence and foster your ability to create inspiring forms of togetherness. My soul would celebrate if you got access to new wealth that enabled you to go in quest of spiritual fun and educational adventures. On the other hand, I wouldn’t be thrilled about you spending extra cash on trivial desires or fancy junk you don’t really need. Here’s why I feel this way: to the extent that you seek more money to pursue your most righteous cravings, you’re likely to get more money.
