EDITOR’S NOTE ICE CREAM SOCIAL ACTIVISM In addition to dreaming up some of the most creative flavors of ice cream ever marketed, Ben & Jerry’s is also one of the staunchest business supporters of LGBT equality. In 2014, the Vermontbased company joined an amicus brief to the Supreme Court of the United States supporting same-sex marriage. Specifically, signers of the “Employers’ Amicus Brief” called on justices to create a “single standard across all 50 states that recognizes same-sex marriage.” According to a statement from Ben & Jerry’s Mission Activism Manager Chris Miller—yes, that’s a real job title at Ben & Jerry’s—“This amicus puts these corporations on record saying that in addition to this being an issue of civil rights, it complicates the running of our businesses.” In January, the Supreme Court announced that it would make a ruling on same-sex marriage, possibly as early as this summer. While Ben & Jerry’s can’t be credited directly with pushing the Court toward making a decision, it certainly doesn’t hurt a social cause when the money starts talking. As Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Jerry Greenfield has said, “Business can be a source of progressive change.” In Idaho, where same-sex marriage was legalized in October 2014, the struggle for full LGBT equality continues with the Add the Words movement, which has sought for nearly a decade to include “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” in the state’s human rights law. While a bill to do that finally received a hearing at the Statehouse this session, it was again sidelined. Now the movement is drawing on support from local companies that, like Ben & Jerry’s, are not afraid to make the business case for equal rights. Boise Weekly Staff Writer Jessica Murri profiles a handful of these companies on Page 9 and talks with Add the Words leaders about why it’s so important to build a broad base of support among the business community. As Ben & Jerry’s is fond of saying, “love comes in all flavors.” With locations in 27 countries and sales reported at almost $600 million in the 52 weeks ending June 15, 2014, it seems love is good for the bottom line, too. —Zach Hagadone

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“

REPUBLICANS DON’T EVEN KNOW FEMALE ANATOMY... LEGISLATING TIME IS WAY OVER THEIR HEADS.” —Jason Kitley, via Facebook (BW, Citydesk, “Idaho House Leader Introduces Bill to Lose Daylight Savings Time,” Feb. 25, 2015)

MAIL A MONUMENT FOR THE VETERANS As a way of coping with the stress of war as a Marine in Fallujah, Iraq, I often thought back on trips into the mountains of Idaho. When I returned to civilian life, I took a job in the mountains of Central Idaho, and working in extraordinary wild places allowed me to process and begin to heal from my combat experiences. I believe the solace found in wild places can be an essential part of the healing process for all veterans, and it is vital that we provide veterans and all Americans with places that offer this kind of healing. The creation of a Boulder-White Clouds National Monument will ensure the continued existence of natural and wild spaces for current and returning veterans to find that solace. Dealing with and overcoming a mental or physical injury through the influence of the natural world is not a unique story. Many veterans testify to the therapeutic benefits of wild places. Scholars, scientists and doctors have published research confirming the significance of nature as therapy. Outdoor recreation and sportsmen’s organizations, conservation organizations and the military itself recognize this fact and offer outings to

veterans dealing with illness and injury. American servicemen and women volunteer to preserve and protect American values. One of the ways Americans deﬁne ourselves is through our rich natural heritage. We take pride in our national parks, monuments and our extensive public land system, and we have a history of defending those lands. The creation of parks and monuments, endangered species protection, and safeguarding bodies of water and rivers are all ways we respect our natural world and its inhabitants. The East Fork of the Salmon River, the White Clouds and Boulder Mountains deserve that kind of respect. The East Fork contains one of the highest elevation rearing grounds and longest distance migration routes on Earth for Chinook salmon and Steelhead. The White Clouds contain plants existing nowhere else on Earth—including the oldest known white bark pine—while the Boulder Mountains provide some of the best big game summer range in Idaho. Not only are the ecological values of the Boulder-White Clouds substantial, but this region also contains outstanding recreation opportunities. Hunters, anglers, backpackers,

backcountry equestrian, hikers, mountain bikers and motorized users all enjoy the wide array of incredible outdoor recreation. I experienced the grandeur of the White Clouds this last summer as a wilderness ranger for the Forest Service, and I saw the enchantment that visitors experienced as I spoke with them on the trail. We need to protect the Boulder-White Clouds by proclaiming it a national monument. The monument will protect the entire East Fork watershed and help preserve not only those remarkable salmon fisheries, but all the fish and wildlife of that region. Organizations that take veterans on fishing and hunting trips will have clean, pristine streams and vigorous hunting grounds in perpetuity. The monument will also ensure spectacular recreation where veterans will have a multitude of access opportunities to venture into the backcountry, reconnect and decompress. Veterans have a stake in public land discussions and need our voices heard. Veterans play a part defending American values that create and protect our remarkable public lands. Veterans also defend our ability to participate in discussions about those lands, and we defend an American lifestyle that allows us to recreate in wild places. We need natural and wild places to allow us space to heal so we can readjust and become responsible participants of civic life. We need the Boulder-White Clouds National Monument. —Jack Ader BOISEweekly | MARCH 4–10, 2015 | 5

OPINION NUTTIN’ YAHOO

Just more snake oil in an old wind bag BILL COPE The following has been adopted from a blog I wrote more than two weeks ago in anticipation of Benjamin’s Netanyahu’s address, at John Boehner’s invitation, to the U.S. Congress. The day after the blog ran on boiseweekly.com (BW.com, Cobweb, “Mr. Cope’s Cave: Note to Netanyahu,” Feb. 16, 2015), a guest opinion showed up (in another local paper) written by Dennis Mansfield, that floating gadfly who never gives up on his efforts to sell his sour theocracy from behind an “Aw, shucks“ facade. Mansfield suggested that we should be honored that Netanyahu—“a man of Trumanesque simplicity ... with the corresponding principled strength of President Reagan”—is telling us what America should be doing about Iran’s nuclear program. This column will come out the day after Netanyahu’s speech, and my guess is the controversy surrounding his appearance will already have started wafting away like a fart on a spring breeze. But Mansfield’s ridiculous assertion that Netanyahu will bring to the Iran matter a bold vision, characterized in his piece as a refreshing “new wine”—in contrast to Obama’s (allegedly) weak policy (“old wine skins”)—was so misleading, I felt my less adoring opinion of the Israeli P.M. was worth repeating. ••• Bibi, I didn’t make it to your speech yesterday. I wasn’t exactly invited, but even if I had been there... even if I were a member of Congress... in fact, even if I had free tickets to not only the address, but to a post-speech, open-bar reception with Beyonce doing the background music and barbecued caviar on the hors d’oeuvre trays and you were handing out the keys to brand new Cadillacs to everybody there, I still wouldn’t have gone to your speech, because, Bibi, you are an asshole. A rude, bullying asshole. And don’t try to blame Boehner for your rudeness. We already know Boehner is an asshole, and that’s about all we expect from him—rudeness. In his perpetual, and impotent, efforts to embarrass our president, I expect even ruder things out of him in the future. But his vulgarity is no excuse for yours. And don’t pretend this arrogant display is because our president is naive about the danger represented by an Iran with nuclear capabilities. You don’t have to be a bullying asshole who’s willing to resort to quasi-fascist policies in his own land to understand that there is no shortage of assholes in Iran, too. But at least they aren’t the sort of assholes who insist on meddling in our country’s internal affairs... who have been on the U.S. Defense Department dole for 60 years and still want to tell us who we can and who we can’t negotiate with... who are more than happy to have American men and women risk life and 6 | MARCH 4–10, 2015 | BOISEweekly

limb fighting wars with your neighbors, while you carry on with your quasi-fascist policies—i.e., confiscating Arab lands for Jewish settlements and turning your own society into an apartheid nightmare for Palestinians—all of which will ensure that your neighbors will be perpetually pissed-off at you and everyone who supports you for generation after generation. You’ve counted on America to pull your kebabs off the shish for so long, you have taken to acting as if you’re some kind of fourth branch of our government. That you have veto powers over how we conduct our foreign affairs. That how we interact with other nations in that part of the world must meet the approval of the most reactionary factions in Israeli politics, or you throw a petulant fit. Nuts to that, Beeb. You may have those bedimmed country cousins on our Religious Right fooled with all that Last Days/Temple of Jerusalem/ Battle of Armageddon bullshit, but a lot of us are thinking that if you want to continue being our BFF in the Middle East, you’d better start acting a little BFFier, yourself. No more spying on us. No more trying to influence our elections. And no more going behind our president’s back to sabotage his negotiations with Iran! Get this straight, Bub. Obama is trying to avoid yet another military involvement over there, to avoid the McCain option—”Bomb bomb bomb... bomb bomb Iran... “ remember?—and I believe that even with the divisiveness in our politics, he’s got the majority of us behind him. The last thing san Americans want is another goddamn endless war in the desert, this time against an army half-a-million strong from a country bigger than Iraq and Afghanistan put together. Like things aren’t f***ed up enough over there already?! So you want our foreign aid? You want our advanced weapons systems? You want our unqualified support? Then stop acting like you’re entitled to them, and stop treating our president like you see that asshole Boehner and his asshole majority treat him, or you can figure out what to do about Iran by yourself. And ISIS. And Syria. And Iraq and Yemen and North Africa and Al Qaeda and all the rest of that shit heap on top of which our alliance with your country has landed us. And by the way, if it’s Iran’s as-of-yet nonexistent nuclear weapons you’re so worried about, perhaps you might consider getting rid of a few dozen of the very-real nukes you have in your arsenal. After all, I’m pretty sure it’s not just Israelis who want to feel like they won’t be wiped off the face of the earth anytime soon. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

OPINION CHILD ABUSE With the best of intentions JOHN REMBER I’ve just finished reading a 2008 book by Mark Bauerlein, an English professor at Emory University, titled The Dumbest Generation. You may think an English professor reading a book by an English professor is the worst sort of intellectual inbreeding. But it’s nowhere near the intellectual inbreeding The Dumbest Generation describes. Bauerlein suggests the current generation of young Americans spends more time in close contact with pixels on screens than with their parents. It’s an upbringing that reinforces selfindulgent adolescent dependencies instead of producing mature, empathetic, problem-solving adults. Social networks, video games, televised sports, laptops in schools and Internet porn work together to keep young people from ever leaving the emotional equivalent of junior high school. Facebook and Twitter manufacture cliques for their members. Video games groom the self for an us-or-them, win-or-lose, inside-the-box reality. A hike in the woods doesn’t happen if the hiker doesn’t immediately verify it with a selfie. Personhood comes from the possession of the right consumer goods, the right diploma from the right college, the right circle of admirers, the right vacation tweeted from the right place. The Dumbest Generation joins other curmudgeonly treatises that claim American culture has a go-back-to-the-womb kind of death wish. I’ve also been reading Christopher Lasch’s The Culture of Narcissism and Robert Bly’s The Sibling Society. They too portray a society where adolescence is a permanent condition, where magical thinking trumps objective reality, where the lens of the self transforms all it gazes upon into extensions of itself. Bauerlein goes one step further, saying that a world made of pixels makes people who live in it downright stupid. He’s correct, if only because being raised by screens doesn’t allow for the surprises necessary to develop a flexible intuitive intelligence. With few exceptions, what young people see on a screen has been designed for them as consumers. There is at least one focus group between them and objective reality. A video game limits their experience to the imagination of the game designer. A Facebook personality quiz limits their identities to the ones provided by the quiz writer. A GoPro video about skiing the Eiger has less to do with skiing the Eiger than it does with someone who skis the Eiger wearing a GoPro, hoping the resulting movie will go viral on YouTube. Young people can watch the skiing-the-Eiger movie on YouTube even if they don’t know how to ski. Chances are, after watching, they’ll be satisfied with never learning. They’ll just watch 8 | MARCH 4–10, 2015 | BOISEweekly

YouTube until the Ski-the-Eiger video game comes out. This sort of counterfeit transaction has become real life for a lot of young people and it isn’t making them any smarter. Granted, they’re probably smarter than the person skiing the Eiger, but over time and over many similar GoPro viewing experiences they become chair-bound spectators, their faces green from lack of sunlight, their sense of the world grounded in their ability to consume whatever content makes it to the screen, their intelligences atrophied to nubbins. It’s no wonder that old but prescient movies like The Truman Show and The Matrix present their narrative characters as the only real people in their world, for whom any experience is manufactured and any event is theater. They’re clueless as to the real nature of things. That’s what it’s like for children these days. Since this process has been going on since well before The Truman Show, I’m using “children” to encompass a cohort of the American population that ranges from age 3 to age 55 or so. It looks like child abuse to me. We’re training people to live in a world that doesn’t exist except on portable electronic devices, giving them selves that have been constructed by marketing departments and software developers, educating them to excel at standardized tests and then putting them in jobs that have nothing to do with any of these things. Adulthood comes in the form of The Matrix’s red pill, which delivers an agonizing awareness of the real, or Truman’s discovery that he’s living in a stage set. Once, when I was teaching a first-year writing class in college, I offered an A for any essay that described only the external sensory input of a walk across campus. “Give me the details of the outside world,” I told students. “Write down its sights, its sounds, its textures, its smells, and if you walk through the dining hall, its tastes. Four or five pages should be enough.” I never gave an A for a paper of that description. Everyone who tried it gave up after a page. Some students couldn’t turn their attention to the external world at all, and the ones who could found they were overwhelmed by details. “It would take a book,” they said. “There are a million things out there.” They said this with a sense of wonder, as if they had discovered a reality they hadn’t realized existed. It was an alien place and dangerous, one where the blades of grass, the leaves of trees and the flat metallic glare of the sun on sprinkler-wet sidewalks all threatened to dissolve who they were and send them adrift, without body and without self, into a far country.

‘WE DON’T DISCRIMINATE’

NEWS

Small businesses support Add the Words, even at the risk of losing customers

Michael Casper, 26, was killed by police in the early morning hours of Feb. 16.

JESSICA MURRI It has been eight long years, but things are looking up for Signs 2 U owner Mike Tankersley. He now has five employees and a new location for his sign shop. His customers include the YMCA, College of Idaho, Primary Health, Tates Rents, Oakley and Best Buy. In October 2014, when same-sex marriage in Idaho became legal for the first time, Tankersley made a decision that could put his entire business at risk: He is using Signs 2 U (signs2uboise.com) to show support for the Add the Words movement, which is working to get the words “gender identity” and “sexual orientation” added to the Idaho Human Rights Act. “There’s a chance I could lose [everything],” Tankersley said. “But I’m not going to look back in 10 years and say, ‘I could have done something, but I didn’t because I was afraid of going out of business.’” Tankersley makes stickers—including the popular rainbow-colored silhouette of Idaho with the word “Love” on it—T-shirts and banners for Add the Words demonstrators and supporters. He makes the stickers for free, sells them for a few dollars and donates the money back to the Add the Words cause. The rest, he does at cost. Every truck in Tankersley’s fleet has a sticker on it expressing support for the movement. He has gone so far as to hang a 40-foot banner of support off his company’s bucket truck. LGBT-allied business owners like Tankersley are becoming an important part of the Add the Words effort. Sitting through more than 20 hours of public testimony before the Idaho House State Affairs Committee in late January, Chelsea Lincoln and Evangeline Beechler heard the same concerns raised over and over again: Adding the words will hurt businesses and business owners shouldn’t be forced to do anything against their beliefs. The classic example is photographers or bakers who don’t want to be sued for discrimination if they choose to refuse services for same-sex weddings. It became clear to Lincoln and Beechler, who both work with the Add the Words strategy team and the Add the Words Coalition, they needed Tankersley and other like-minded business owners to support Add the Words bills that could crop up in future legislative sessions. “We need to have the power of a base made up BOISE WEEKLY.COM

of those business owners,” Lincoln said. “So we figured we better start finding them.” Lincoln and Beechler cast a net in early February, creating a Facebook group called Idaho Businesses for Add the Words. Within 24 hours, the page racked up 1,000 likes. About a month after its launch, the number of likes has grown to 1,500. According to Lincoln, the purpose of the group is to create a place where businesses can publicly support Add the Words and customers can find those businesses. So far, member businesses include real estate agents, photographers, bakers, insurance agents, travel agencies, a tutoring center, a dog training service, hairdressers, a pond maintenance service, a nutritionist, restaurants, cleaning companies, landscapers, counselors, attorneys, Flying M Coffeehouse, Visual Arts Collective, Park Side Montessori School and Treefort Music Fest. Lincoln and Beechler decided to take the mission a step further and also created a private Facebook group strictly for business owners where they can talk strategy and engage in lobbying the Idaho Legislature. The group has almost 100 members. The goal is to get businesses to visibly demonstrate support for their LGBT customers. They’re designing a decal to go in a window or next to a cash register that reads, “We don’t discriminate.” “We’re learning what will best get people to open up, not just close doors on those conversations,” Lincoln said. “We’re thinking about the whole ‘Idaho love’ thing that’s going on right now. There’s so much state love.” Beechler agreed.

“So a design could be as simple as, ‘All Idahoans are welcome here,’” she said. Bruce Delaney is anxious to get a sticker in the window at his business. Delaney and his wife, Laura, own Rediscovered Bookshop (rdbooks.org) in downtown Boise. “I sat through several days of the hearings and testified,” Delaney said. “I think a lot of the concerns that are being brought up, if you look at history, are the same concerns that were brought up when we were talking about equal rights for African Americans. Fifty years ago, it was blacks, today it is gays. Who knows what it’s going to be in the next 50 years, but it’s always on the wrong side of history.” Delaney said it’s not his place, especially as the owner of a bookstore, to discriminate against anyone. Even if he doesn’t agree with an author’s viewpoint, Delaney carries his or her book. The store carries books on Judaism, Christianity, the history of the Mormon Temple, The Anarchist Cookbook and even Adolf Hitler’s manifesto, Mein Kampf. “I can’t think of a more offensive book to me personally,” Delaney said. “But it’s not my place to judge what you read. It’s my place to help you find something that you’ll enjoy reading.” He said he knows there are risks to publicizing his views on LBGT issues, but he doesn’t care if he loses customers. It’s not about making money, he said. It’s about treating all his customers with respect and dignity. “What if we flipped it?” DeLaney said. “If you are against Add the Words, put a sign up in your window saying, ‘You’re not 10 welcome here if you’re gay.’ Are there any

The death of 26-year-old Michael Casper was cause for much sorrow, but it also raised a host of questions and theories related to the circumstances of his shooting by a Boise police officer in the early morning hours of Feb. 16. At the center of many of those questions and theories is Chris McIntire, who was with Casper the night he died and was the last person to see him alive. McIntire has gone back and forth with his desire to talk about the events of that night, which reportedly included windows being broken out of a duplex and Casper allegedly pointing a gun at a police officer. Following the shooting, McIntire posted a note on his Facebook page: “If anyone has questions … please contact me,” he wrote. But when Boise Weekly first asked McIntire for details, he said he wasn’t comfortable talking about what happened. After a BW report on the incident, which included some of the fallout among friends and family, and McIntire’s reluctance to provide his version of the events (BW, News, “The Life and Mysterious Death of Michael Casper,” Feb. 25, 2015), he took Boise Weekly to task. “OK, you want to know what happened? I’ll tell you,” McIntire said in a phone interview. McIntire would only talk on his own terms, though. When BW asked for clarification on some of his statements, McIntire refused to answer, except to say he and Casper went “to go shoot some pool, have a few drinks and unwind,” at a nearby bar. “After about a pitcher-and-a-half of beer, [Casper] started to act like somebody I hadn’t seen before,” McIntire said, “I did not feel comfortable as his friend and I thought it was better that I would leave.” McIntire said he told Casper that he was going home to talk to his girlfriend. “I left his home at 12:55 a.m.” McIntire said he went to work the next day and didn’t learn about his friend’s death until the following evening. He was in no mood to answer BW’s questions, but law enforcement didn’t give him that option. “Look, investigators and detectives have even gone through my phone, looking at text messages,” McIntire said. Because the investigation is ongoing, police won’t comment on any of the details. —George Prentice BOISEweekly | MARCH 4–10, 2015 | 9

NEWS ‘A BROKEN SYSTEM’

House Bill 154 requires in-person physician care to administer RU-486.

Boise State adjuncts stage walkout on wages, benefits and job security JESSICA MURRI

HOUSE GOP APPROVES RU-486 RESTRICTIONS Boise Democratic Rep. Melissa Wintrow said “it became clear” as House Bill 154 made its way through the House State Affairs Committee that the debate surrounding the bill, which would put tighter restrictions on chemical abortions in Idaho, was about more than the procedure. “This bill isn’t about safety,” Wintrow said. “It became clear, as the comments drifted toward morality and who should or shouldn’t have an abortion. In fact, I heard one person in committee say they hoped that the bill would reduce the number, thus restricting access.” Wintrow turned to her colleagues, knowing that she was on the losing end of the debate, and said, “If this bill is truly about safety, we should limit all medications involved with telemedicine.” HB 154 speciﬁcally targets abortion-inducing drug RU-486 and requires the procedure be supervised by a doctor and therefore not eligible for telehealth counseling in rural Idaho. “This bill wasn’t brought by the medical community,” said Boise Democratic Rep. Ilana Rubel. “It was driven by anti-abortion activists.” Plummer Democratic Rep. Paulette Jordan said she came from a family of caregivers. “Not one of them supports this bill,” she said. “This does nothing to enhance the safety of women.” The bill’s sponsor, Iona Republican Rep. Tom Loertscher, insisted that HB 154 doesn’t prohibit the use of RU-486 nor does it prohibit abortions, leaving Jordan, Rubel, Wintrow and the other Democrats on the committee to ﬁght an uphill battle. “This is just one more way to try to restrict a woman’s right protected under the Constitution to have a safe and legal abortion,” said Wintrow. “I’m voting no.” The bill has garnered more than a few headlines. During the committee hearing, Dalton Gardens Republican Rep. Vito Barbieri infamously asked a caregiver if a gynecological exam could be conducted if a woman swallowed a small camera. On March 2, Barbieri joined his GOP colleagues to vote, along party lines, 55-14, to pass the bill, sending it to the Senate for consideration. —George Prentice 10 | MARCH 4–10, 2015 | BOISEweekly

On Feb. 25, several Boise State University adjunct professors gathered in the quad to talk about the importance of benefits, higher wages and greater job security as part of National Adjunct Walkout Day. Standing at a folding table stacked with flyers and bright red stickers reading “A is for Adjunct,” Dana Hathaway led the demonstration, which grew to more than 60 people. She explained the plight of adjuncts to onlookers. “I’m paid to teach about fairness,” Hathaway said. “Yet I’m not treated that way.” The issue has been simmering at Boise State for at least a year. Many of the university’s adjuncts work nearly full-time hours but take home a little more than $1,000 per month. Hathaway said she teaches three classes and makes about $18,000 per year. She doesn’t receive any retirement contribution or health insurance from the university. “A single parent with two kids on my wage would qualify for food stamps,” she told BW. Hathaway brought her Philosophy 103 class to experience the walkout, which she said fits nicely into her curriculum. She said her class will study income equality in the next few weeks. “It’s strange that you earn less than what I’m going to end up earning once I graduate,” said Tylana Davis, one of Hathaway’s students. “Once I graduate and become a nurse, I’m going to earn a lot more money than you. You guys are teaching me so I can go earn more money than you earn.” Hathaway thinks her students suffer because

of the low wages paid to adjuncts, specifically when it comes to being available for one-onone time during office hours outside of classes. Many adjuncts work part-time jobs to supplement their teaching income. “Oftentimes, you’ll see faculty at the local Starbucks meeting with their students because they don’t have an office,” Hathaway added. “That’s shameful. That’s not how it should be.” Cristen Iris isn’t a student or an adjunct; she works in Boise State’s Risk Management and Insurance Office. She stood near Hathaway holding a sign that read, “Alumni for Adjuncts—A is for Alumni for Fair Wages.” She said she receives benefits and is better paid than her adjunct colleagues. “The custodial staff gets benefits and paid more than adjuncts,” Iris said. Standing on the edge of the demonstration, Elizabeth Barnes, an adjunct, said she was disappointed by the turnout. “There are 550 of us that could be out here,” Barnes said, referring to the total number of adjuncts at the university. She pointed out she had

to pay a babysitter so she could attend. She said that’s hard for people in her situation to do. Barnes planned to host teach-ins for her classes all day, letting her students know that the average annual salary for Boise State adjunct instructors hovers around $17,000. Adjuncts make up about half of the university’s faculty, yet they are not given benefits and are considered temporary employees. “It’s a broken system,” Barnes said. “Someday hopefully something will change.” Hathaway was also disappointed that she didn’t see more adjuncts willing to walk out with their students. She understands why, though. “Not many instructors are willing to walk out. We are at-will employees, so I could very well be told, ‘You know what? We’re not going to hire you back next term,’” Hathaway said. “I’ve accepted that. I don’t really have a whole lot to lose. I’m not making lots of money and there’s little chance of getting a full-time job here because most faculty here are part-timers. It’s just gotten to a point where I’ve had it.”

businesses that would be willing to do that? I think the answer is no. That’s the telling point.” As anxious as Delaney is to put a sticker in the window of Rediscovered, “Nothing will make me happier than when I can take that sticker down,” he said. “I don’t have to have a sign up in the window that says we’re not going to discriminate against you if you’re black

or if you’re a woman. It upsets me that this is even necessary.” Tankersley told BW he has lost some customers since he made his support for Add the Words public. He described one customer in particular who was “very, very rude” and refused to continue doing business with his company. He let that customer go without remorse. Many of his customers are other small businesses and

churches, so Tankersley runs the risk of seeing more of them go. He has accepted he might lose some revenue. “I want to be able to tell my kids I didn’t just sit on the sidelines,” Tankersley said. “I tried to help however I could. There’s no question what’s the right side to be on here. We’re going to look back on this in 20 years and say, ‘Wow, how was this even a conversation?’”

Some Boise State adjuncts say students suffer because of low wages paid to the part-time instructors, particularly when it comes to being available for one-on-one time during ofﬁce hours outside of classes.

CITIZEN [The Cowboys], Sydney Pollack [They Shoot Horses Don’t They].

ING

I would be remiss if I didn’t ask about my favorite Western of all time, The Cowboys. When you ﬁrst saw the script that called for your character to shoot John Wayne’s character in the back, did you have any idea what you were getting into? The first day on set, John Wayne pulled me over and said [Dern does a hilarious John Wayne impression] “Every day, I want you to make those kids absolutely terrified of you. So I want you to feel free to kick my ass in front of them anytime you want.” One of the lucky things about me is that I was lucky enough to work with legends like Wayne. We’re not legends today. They give us awards and stuff, but you can’t be a legend today. Even John Legend can’t be a fucking legend. But back then, stars were bigger than life.

BRUCE DERN

Six directing geniuses, co-called ‘Dernsies’ and shooting John Wayne in the back GEORGE PRENTICE It was humbling to hear Bruce Dern say, “Thanks for doing your fucking homework,” after talking with the two-time Oscar nominee. Those words came at the end of a salty conversation with one of Hollywood’s baddest bad asses. In anticipation of his appearance at the 2015 Sun Valley Film Festival (March 4-8), our free-wheeling dialogue with Dern could have filled this entire edition of Boise Weekly—all the more reason to attend his SVFF Coffee Talk on Saturday, March 7. Below are some of the highlights of our conversation.

We’re talking to you while you’re on a ﬁlm set in Colorado, yes? We’re shooting at 10,400 feet, right above Telluride, Colo., and we’re making Quentin Tarantino’s new film. The Hateful Eight, which we’re all anxious to see later this year. What can you tell us about it? We’re shooting in Super Panavision: It’s a lot like the old Cinemascope. [The Hateful Eight] is an 1870s-era western. It’s actually more like an opera and, as far as I’m concerned, Quentin finally has the huge canvass that he has always deserved. When it comes to directors, you’ve worked with the best of the best. I’ll tell you my list of six geniuses: No. 1, I was under contract for Elia Kazan from 1958 to 1963. He only had five of us under contract: Rip Torn, Pat Hingle, Geraldine Page, Lee Remick and Bruce Dern. No. 2 on my list was Mr. Hitchcock. I worked on two features: Marnie and Family Plot, and two of his television shows. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

I need to pause you there. Hitchcock is such an enigma. What was he like to work with? I had as much freedom with him as anyone else in my career. I asked him why he had chosen me and Hitchcock said [Dern gives a pitch-perfect Hitchcock impression], “I have 1,200 perfect frames hanging on my wall designed for this movie. But none of them are entertaining. That’s why you’re here. You’re unpredictable.” Next on your genius list is… Douglas Trumbull, who directed me in Silent Running and was responsible for the special effects in Kubrick’s 2001. No. 4 is Francis Ford Coppola. I did a movie called Twixt for Coppola that, to this day, was never released. No. 5 has to be Alexander Payne who, of course, directed me in Nebraska and No. 6 is Quentin Tarantino. And yet there were so many other greats that you’ve worked with. Hal Ashby [Coming Home], Jack Clayton [The Great Gatsby], John Frankenheimer [Black Sunday], Michael Ritchie [Smile], Mark Rydell

So it was a pretty stunning on-screen moment when you shot the biggest star there was… in the back, no less. Now keep in mind that John Wayne really despised anti-war protesters at the time. Anyway, just before I shot him, he leaned into me— and he had already downed about three fingers of Wild Turkey by then—and he said, “Ooh, they’re going to hate you for this.” I didn’t miss a beat. I looked up at him and said, “Maybe, but in Berkeley, I’ll be a fucking hero.” He put his arm on my shoulder and said, “That’s why this prick is in my movie. He understands that bad guys can be funny.” Let’s fast-forward to your Oscar nominated performance in Coming Home (1978). It’s my understanding that the famous ﬁnal scene of that ﬁlm was not in the original script. We got to the end of the shoot and the director [Hal Ashby] asked me what I thought of the original ending. I told him it wouldn’t work. It was way too similar to another movie, Lonely Are the Brave. We made a change. We went to the beach the next morning at 4 a.m. with just a few members of the crew. The photographer only had an 8-millimeter home movie camera and only had about a minute-and-a-half of film left. I said, “OK. Just stay with me.” I walked across the beach, carefully took off my Marine uniform and laid it out very carefully, pulled off my wedding ring and walked into the ocean. I remember Hal Ashby telling me, “I need a Dernsie for that scene.” Hold it. What’s a “Dernsie?” Something Jack Nicholson came up with years before. It’s how he described my ability to embellish a character, giving a beginning, middle and end to a character, even if it wasn’t in the script. BOISEweekly | MARCH 4–10, 2015 | 11

WOVENWAR A metal band performing an acoustic set isn’t that common, but you can see San Diego-based band Wovenwar do just that during at an in-store performance at the Record Exchange on First Thursday. After the lead singer of As I Lay Dying was convicted for hiring a hitman to kill his wife, the remaining members formed Wovenwar. This new incarnation plays at the Knitting Factory later that evening and the ﬁrst 25 people who buy the band’s new album at RX get a free ticket to the show. If you’re not a fan of heavy music, Record Exchange marketing director Chad Dryden said hearing a metal band play an acoustic set is a little more “palatable on the ears.” “It’s stripped down,” Dryden said. “It lets you hear the essence of the song, and allows for a different interpretation, too.” The free in-store show begins at 6 p.m. with Wovenwar signing albums afterward. 6 p.m., FREE.

Buddy Levy thinks you need more adventure in your life.

GET IN THE HELICOPTER Buddy Levy does more in one week than many of us do in a year… or ever. He worked as a comic stuntman in Warren Miller ski ﬁlms. He has taken adventures through Argentina, Borneo, Greenland, Iceland, the Philippines, Mexico, Morocco and Europe. He has written several books, including Geronimo: Leadership Lessons of an American Warrior, River of Darkness: Francisco Orellana’s Legendary Voyage of Death and Discovery Down the Amazon, and Conquistador: Hernan Cortes, King Montezuma, and the Last Stand of the Aztecs. He starred in the History Channel series Brad Meltzer’s Decoded (coincidentally, another of the show’s stars, Christine McKinley, will read from her book, Physics for Rock Stars, at Rediscovered Bookshop the same night at 6 p.m.). On First Thursday, Levy will travel from his home in northern Idaho, landing in Boise City Council Chambers at City Hall with a presentation called “Get in the Helicopter: Lead a Life of Adventure by Going with your Gut and Taking Risks,” which is about how people can capitalize on their unique callings and intuitions. Rediscovered Books will host a book signing with Levy at 4:30 p.m. before his presentation. 5:30 p.m., FREE. City Hall, 150 N. Capitol Blvd., cityofboise.org. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

SUN VALLEY FILM FESTIVAL

SPACEBAR ARTCADE

CHRISTINE MCKINLEY AT REDISCOVERED BOOKS

There are significant milestones in the life of a film festival. In Sun Valley, the first was the 2013 appearance of two-time Oscar winner Jodie Foster, who cautioned attendees to, “Remember how it is now. Years from now, the lines may be longer, and you’ll think back.” SVFF’s next major landmark will undoubtedly be this year’s appearance of four-time Oscar winner Clint Eastwood. Also, through its highly popular “Coffee Talks,” SVFF will allow attendees to get some face-time with Bruce Dern (Nebraska, Coming Home) and Bill Paxton (Titanic, Apollo 13, Big Love), who will pull double duty by hosting a 20th anniversary screening of Apollo 13 (see Citizen, Page 11). Along with the stars, SVFF will screen more than 60 independent films, premieres, children’s shows and previews of new TV shows at venues in Sun Valley, Ketchum and Hailey. Various locations and times. Visit sunvalleyfilmfestival.org for a full schedule and ticket information.

What do you get when you mix art with NES cartridges? Artcade, an inaugural art show at Spacebar Arcade. For $5 per cartridge, artists were set loose to create whatever they wanted. “We felt like it would be something they could really sink their teeth in and let their creativity run wild,” said bar manager Will Hay, who organized the event with bartender Brad Bentley. A cash prize will be awarded on Thursday, March 5, when a panel of judges (which includes our own Amy Atkins) will select “Best in Show.” Prizes from local businesses like Prestige Skateshop, Record Exchange, Rediscovered Bookshop, All About Games, Treefort Music Fest, Grind Modern Burger, PostModern Brewers and more will be awarded in other categories. Proceeds from a silent auction open through Tuesday, March 31 will be split 50/50 between artists and Extra Life children’s charity. 8 p.m., FREE, 21 and older only. Spacebar, 200 N. Capitol Blvd., 208-918-0597, spacebararcade.com.

Ready to charge the world with rock ’n’ roll and atomic principles, author Christine McKinley will be at Rediscovered Books discussing both her new book, Physics for Rock Stars, and the ways in which the understanding of physics can make a person “better at everything.” The Portland, Ore.-based author is also an avid musician and engineer who combines her talents to explain both the complexity and practicality of physics and, hopefully, “help even the most unscientific love and understand the laws of motion and energy.” The multi-faceted McKinley is also the co-host of Brad Meltzer’s Decoded, a History Channel series about symbols and codes. McKinley’s Boise appearance promises to be edu-taining as she lets her physics-freak flag fly through excerpts from her book and songs about things like ionic bonds and arson. 7 p.m., FREE. Rediscovered Books, 180 N. Eighth St., 208-3764229, rdbooks.org.

RYAN BAYNE AND THE HAND-ME-DOWNS, MARCH 6, VAC When most people think of hand-me-downs, they think about an older sibling’s high-school sports jersey, jeans relinquished after they became “high-waters” on their original owner or shoes suddenly too tight to squeeze into. However, after the album release party for Ryan Bayne and the Hand-Me-Downs’ new album, Beloved, they may think “local supergroup” because the Hand-Me-Downs in question are comprised of well-known, wellrespected members of Boise’s music scene: Steve Fulton, Rob Hill, D. Naomi Johnson, Lauren McConnell, Sam and Catherine Merrick, Thomas Paul, Naomi Psalm, Lee Arthur Rice, Tim Willis and Joseph Young. Beloved, an Americana labor of love, is Bayne’s sophomore album and to celebrate its release, the whole damn Hand-Me-Down crew will join him on stage at Visual Arts Collective on Friday, March 6. —Harrison Berry 8 p.m. $10.

MACHINE HEAD, MARCH 7, KNITTING FACTORY Oakland, Calif.-based band Machine Head has long been revered as a heavy-metal trailblazer. In a Feb. 2 interview with loudwire. com’s Full Metal Jackie, lead singer Robb Flynn explained where some of that comes from. He said Machine Head has worked to “carry the same spirit and ﬂy the same ﬂag,” as Megadeth, The Dead Kennedys and Public Enemy, who were “agitated and they weren’t trying to be liked… they were trying to change the world.” Machine Head is on a tour behind Bloodstone and Diamonds (Nuclear Blast, Jan. 2014) and, according to its Facebook page, is honestly looking forward to its Boise stop: “BOISE HEAD CASES!!!! It’s been a long hard slog to get back to your city, and as most of you know, we have had an unfortunate series of events stop us several times now!! We are DETERMINED to make it up to you this Saturday when we return for ‘An Evening With Machine Head’!!! 2 1/2 hours of metal anthems, glorious sing-a-longs, and haunting melodic pieces. If you want us to fuck off, we completely understand, hell, we may even deserve it, (and judging by the ticket sales many of you feel that way!!). But we WILL be there!! And frankly, we are stoked as fuck to be playing Boise and making it up to you with 2 1/2 hours or raging metal on a Saturday night!!

Cecilia Violetta Lopez will headline Opera Idaho’s 2015-16 season in La Traviata.

OPERA IDAHO SHOULD BE WALKING ON ARIA On a cool, sunny Sunday afternoon in February, people dressed in everything from parkas and hoodies to suit jackets and sequined dresses lined up outside The Egyptian Theatre for the matinee performance of Opera Idaho’s Evgeny Onegin, an opera adapted by Pyotr Tchaikovsky from the verse novel of the same name by Russian poet Alexander Pushkin. The opera, which premiered in 1879, is sung entirely in Russian (this production had supertitles) and combined with its plot of unrequited love and its centuriesold setting, it’s not an easy story for an urban 21st century audience to connect with. Art, however, is transcendent and thanks to Opera Idaho General Director Mark Junkert bringing in some incredible talent for the principal roles—including stage director Dmitry Troyanovsky and conductor Sara Jobin—it was For a complete schedule especially so in and ticket information, this production. operaidaho.org. Baritone Gregory Gerbrandt infused the opera’s title role with an air of aristocracy that, combined with his rich, pitch-perfect tone, allowed for a near-complete suspension of disbelief. In her dulcet declarations of love and loss, soprano Marina Harris gave the brokenhearted Tatyana an authenticity that elicited an emotional response from more than one audience member, as did tenor Alexander Boyer, whose cuckolded Lensky was imbued with a genuine struggle between pride and piteousness. The high-caliber of Evgeny Onegin promises to be repeated in Opera Idaho’s 2015-16 season, when the company presents The Magic Flute (Mozart), The Pirates of Penzance (Gilbert and Sullivan), Amahl and the Night Visitors (Menotti), Glory Denied (Cipullo) and a particularly special season-headlining performance of Verdi’s La Traviata, starring soprano Cecilia Violetta Lopez, who made her Idaho professional debut in the role of Gilda in Opera Idaho’s Rigoletto (see BW, Citizen, Cecilia Violetta Lopez, Feb. 25, 2015). —Amy Atkins 24 | MARCH 4–10, 2015 | BOISEweekly

After more than a decade at the helm of Radio Boise, founder and station director Jeff Abrams moves on JESSICA MURRI The idea of a community radio station for the Boise area came to Jeff Abrams in the early 2000s, while he was working as a fish biologist for the Idaho Department of Fish and Game. Abrams left Fish and Game, not knowing he was about to embark on a journey that would consume the next 12 years of his life: founding Radio Boise. During that effort he made countless phone calls, sifted through mountains of paperwork, organized hundreds of volunteers, raised thousands of dollars, created a nonprofit, procured an FCC license and secured a spot on the FM dial. The Treasure Valley has embraced Radio Boise—more than 3,000 donors contribute thousands of dollars. The radio station, which is broadcast over both 89.9 FM and 93.5 FM, is housed in the Alaska Building, has around 70 local DJs and is on-air 24/7. This month, after seeing his idea reach fruition, 50-year-old Abrams will move on. Before he turned the dial on his trajectory though, he sat down with Boise Weekly to talk about Radio Boise.

Radio Boise founder Jeff Abrams is leaving the airwaves after 12 years as the head of the station.

You had an online stream ﬁrst, right? Yeah. In the meantime, people were so excited and chomping at the bit to go that we created a programming service that became what is known now as Radio Boise. Before, it was called the Boise Community Radio Project. For three years, we were on webcast.

this is going to work for you,” but he walked me into literally a padded room—which I thought was going to be a wonderful metaphor for what we had coming our way. It was a carpeted room that had acted as a switching facility for a Telco provider. Anyway, we applied and got a construction permit from the FCC in 2008, then the clock started ticking. We had 36 months to raise the money to buy our equipment and be operational, to get on the airwaves. [Remember], this was in the middle of one of the biggest recessions this country has ever had. We needed to raise $300,000 to try to prove out an idea that was still very much conceptual. Yes, it had worked in other communities, but it was also right in the middle of a very steep ascension of digital media. So we were financially handicapped, bootstrapping it with no paid staff, with just an idea on the drawing board and a construction permit, in the middle of a digital revolution. But there was this promise. There was a way for us to reclaim some of the voice that had been lost through mass media. We had that out there as a shining beacon. Really, this was the last frequency that was available on the FM dial. We had one chance to make it happen. And we threaded the needle in every sense of the word.

Were you always located in the Alaska Building downtown? Yeah, we were on the second floor of the Alaska Building back then, before moving into our 1,400-square-foot space in the basement that we have now. [Back then] the building manager took me down a long hallway and he said, “I’m not sure

Did you ever think Radio Boise was not going to happen? I never thought it was never going to happen, I just didn’t always know how it was going to happen. We had several very huge hurdles. The hurdles that we had in front of us, had somebody set all those hurdles up in the short 40-yard distance, we would have tripped on our faces. But

This project got under way in 2003, but there was a hell of a lot of work to get it on air. Tell me about that. Well, we knew what we wanted to have happen. The uncertainty was, we didn’t know when the FCC would open up an application, so from 2003 when the organization was actually incorporated as a nonprofit, we had to wait over five years until the FCC opened an application.

they all lined up and were able to be overcome at the exact right time. Like, if we wouldn’t have found an existing broadcast facility with a 200-foot tower out in the middle of the desert 50 miles from Boise, we would have had to raise five times the capital that we did. Do you think that most people would have the endurance for the race you ran? It’s hard to say. I just feel like… I’m a very purpose-driven person. A lot of my romantic relationships have suffered because of it. But there’s just something in me that if I’m not doing something that makes me feel like I’m impacting the quality of life in the place I’m living in, I’m not feeling happy. I think you have to have that certain fortitude to understand that stuff is just going to work out somehow. If you don’t have that bedrock, if you can’t be at the center of that spinning fan when everything else around you is going nuts, then you’re just at the whim of the seas that push you wherever. The station went live in April of 2011, and you’ve been general manager all this time. What have you learned? I definitely learned things about myself. I have learned that I’m a bigger-picture person. I don’t like a lot of details that come with managing people, budgets, administrative components that come along with this job. It’s the same way I didn’t think I was cut out to be a biologist—if you’re interested in saving ecosystems and the health of our planet, to get bogged down in the minutia of exactly how many smolts out-migrated in the spring versus the fall, eventually I came to question where and how I BOISE WEEKLY.COM

was spending my time trying to work towards a healthier planet. But the thrills have come in every week. That first fund drive, when we put this out to the people for six months and our community actually picked up the phone by the hundreds and said, “Yes, I love what you’re doing, thank you so much for being on the air,” that was the ultimate validation. What’s the status of the station’s transition? My official end date is early March. We’ve had 10 resumes [as of Feb. 4]; most are not from Boise. We’ve had resumes from Canada, from people who have run Pacifica stations. The really compelling part is, we’re not this mature station that’s been on the air for 40 years, and it isn’t steady-as-she-goes, operation battleship. We have a lot of initiatives that we haven’t yet embarked on to fulfill the responsibility that comes along with the FCC license. There is still a lot of soil for us to plow when it comes to fully realizing the power of this resource that this community has decided to support. I’m sure you’re a little sentimental as you prepare to close this chapter of your life. I am, but there’s so much work to do right now that I haven’t been able to go there. We went away as a board and staff a few weeks ago and I just didn’t let myself go in that direction because we had to work out a transition plan, a staffing plan. I suppose later on, there will be time for that, and I’m sure it will overcome me. It can’t not, right? After a dozen years? I’m sure people will be sad to see you go. I’ve had several people corner me on the BOISE WEEKLY.COM

street with looks of concern and a line of questioning. They felt very anxious for what’s next for the station. All I can do is talk with those people and let them know that Radio Boise is governed by a board of directors that has a very unified vision for the station. It’s up to us to find the right person that will continue building on our early successes. Hopefully there won’t be any noticeable after-effects. So what’s next? You’re moving to McCall, right? That’s the plan. My girlfriend has two beautiful little girls. She’s up there, [teaching] elementary school. I don’t have my own kids. At some point, if I’m really going to make an impact on the lives of her girls, I need to be with them. We’ve been together for about four years. I’ve been driving a canyon every weekend, sometimes twice in a week, for the last four years or so. It will be nice to be there, very different. I love Boise, and it will still be a big part of my life. It will be a hub for me, but McCall will be my home. What’s the next project? I have some ideas about other ways to empower nonprofits across the globe. Anything else? It’s just been such a privilege. Speaking not from the intellectual side, but from the heart— it’s been a real privilege to be able to create a media organization from scratch. We have lots to do. It’s a baby organization, but I think we have pretty strong legs beneath us, and I know that when I go away, the station will continue to thrive. BOISEweekly | MARCH 4–10, 2015 | 25

BEERGUZZLER

FOOD/DISH DUEL

SESSION BREWS One story for where the term “session beer” originated suggests that in Britain during World War I, 4-hour drinking periods or “sessions” were established, allowing factory workers to legally imbibe. This necessitated low alcohol (around 4 percent) beer that could be consumed in some quantity without dire effects on production. Low alcohol is still a defining characteristic of session beers today but, of course, a session beer should also have a flavor that makes you want to have another. Here are three, two of which are local, that fit the bill.

SOCKEYE HIGH LAKES SESSION IPA, $1.39$1.79 (LOCAL) This beer pours a light amber in the glass with a porous head that collapses quickly but leaves a lovely lacing. Hops and toasted grain dominate the nose. Weighing in at 80 IBU, this brew has rugged, pine-laced hops that drive the palate, with underlying touches of citrus and biscuit. Things smooth out a bit on the ﬁnish, bringing you back for more. —David Kirkpatrick 26 | MARCH 4–10, 2015 | BOISEweekly

TARA MORGAN Chicken and biscuits have long been Southern-fried friends. In addition to cozying up in fast food family meals, the duo has found renewed popularity at Portland, Ore.’s perennially packed Pine State Biscuits. To uncover what Boise has to offer in this department, we picked two fried chicken and biscuit brunch plates at popular downtown eateries Juniper and Red Feather to square off in Boise Weekly’s inaugural Dish Duel. L AURIE PE ARMAN

PAYETTE BREWING RODEO RYE PALE ALE, $1.39-$1.79 (LOCAL) You definitely pick up the rye on the nose of this hazy, burnt orange pour. There are lots of floral hops along with orange blossom and sweet grapefruit, as well. Earthy hops dominate on the palate, backed by toasted malt, biscuit and soft citrus. Nicely carbonated and oh-so-easy to drink, this beer finishes refreshingly dry and bitter.

Good gravy, it’s a brunch brawl

TAR A M O RG A N

NORTH COAST BREWING: PUCK THE BEER, PETITE SAISON, $1.99$2.59 A persistent twofinger head tops this soft, golden straw-hued brew. There’s a tangy yeast component on the nose, along with touches of clove. This is a nice, clean effort on the palate, but the saison element is barely noticeable, with light flavors of grain, mineral and soft apple. Bitter hops rev up at the finish.

RED FEATHER SON OF A BISCUIT

JUNIPER CHICKEN IN A BISCUIT

$12.00 NAME: CHICKEN IN A BISCUIT (JUNIPER)

NAME: SON OF A BISCUIT (RED FEATHER)

Description: Cage-free fried chicken, bacon, egg, Ballard cheddar, sausage gravy

Description: Housemade buttermilk biscuit, fried chicken, country gravy, Vermont maple syrup, side of bacon

Price: $12

Price: $8.25

Presentation: The top half of the biscuit arrived perched like a dainty pill box hat on a dripping stack of fried chicken, cheese and egg. Lumpy gravy oozed down the ﬂoppy egg and pooled on the crisscrossed bacon.

Presentation: A snapper-sized slab of fried chicken ﬂattened the bottom biscuit while the top biscuit was a modest island surrounded by an angled reef of fried chicken with rising tides of gravy and pools of syrup.

Biscuit: Well-seasoned but a bit dry; held itself together under pressure.

Biscuit: Cheesy and crumbly; like the topping on a chicken pot pie casserole.

Chicken: Fried to a crispy chestnut brown with a salty crunch, but lacked moisture.

Chicken: Spot-on southern-fried batter with a light peanut butter hue that concealed moist, tender meat. This puppy would make Paula Deen proud.

Gravy: Nice consistency—not too ﬂoury with a pleasant hint of black pepper and tiny nubs of sausage but didn’t stretch far enough to adequately dampen the chicken or the biscuit.

Gravy: Thick, peppery and ample, the mega-savory sausage gravy was at odds with the equally abundant puddle of maple syrup.

Extras: A fried egg with wisps of gray around the edges of its chalky, overcooked yolk.

Extras: Four slices of thick-cut, pepper-crusted bacon that would’ve made a meal on their own.

Final Verdict: The dish came with a steak knife, which was 100 percent necessary to attack this layered monstrosity. Props for the awesome gravy and crispy chicken, props withheld for overall dryness. This dish needed a little more ladle love on the gravy front and a lot less heat in the egg department.

Final Verdict: Props for the sheer size of this beastly meal. It’s the kind of thing that should win you a photo on the wall for ﬁnishing. Points deducted for the chicken shedding its crunchy shell with minimal fork prodding. More points deducted for pairing sausage gravy and maple syrup.

Winner: Juniper. Though Red Feather’s freakishly large slab of fried chicken was superior, Juniper’s sandwich was (somehow) a more modest and manageable undertaking. To be fair, Red Feather also offers a fried chicken, biscuit, bacon and fried egg combo, but seeing as we’re already battling gout after this brunch brawl, someone else will have to tackle it.

ZERO POINT: CLIFFHANGERS AND WORLD PREMIERES

SCREEN

Shifting viewer trends inspired Idaho-based series, premiering at SVFF JESSICA MURRI Zero Point starts on a two-lane southwestern Idaho back road that winds through a canyon of foothills dotted with sagebrush and wildflowers. It’s a sight instantly familiar to anyone who has driven the Gem State. It’s also a sight many will see as they travel to the Wood River Valley to see the Saturday, March 7, world premiere of Zero Point at the Sun Valley Film Festival, screening at Ketchum’s Magic Lantern Cinema. Nothing can compare to Zero Point’s journey, though. A troubled teenager is instantly killed when he jumps in front of a car. The unsuspecting motorist, Dr. Alex Embry, obsesses over what drove the teen to suicide. Working from a gritty Canyon County motel room, Embry pieces together an investigation that ultimately points to a series of other mysterious incidents involving teens. Embry is played by Lisa King Hawkes, who works for a local advertising agency. Hawkes has done some acting, mostly voice-overs and commercials, but said she has never done anything quite like Zero Point. The transition wasn’t easy. Hawkes, bubbly and talkative, is the polar opposite of her Zero Point character. “Embry is so pensive and so quiet,” Hawkes said. “I am so all-over-the-place, like I’m going a million miles per second. But I had this little ritual that I would do every day to get into my character. I brought myself into this small place that I thought of as Embry. I wouldn’t get very chatty on set because I wanted to stay there. It was hard because I really liked everybody, and I wanted to chat and have fun, but I needed to stay in that place.” Embry was created by filmmaker Gregory Bayne, who came up with the idea for Zero Point two years ago.

Calling your website “the Internet Archive” seems a bit pretentious, but it’s not hubris behind the San Francisco-based nonproﬁt digital library. It’s a desire to provide free “universal access to all knowledge” and so far, archive.org has done a bang-up job. It has catalogued “collections of digitized materials, including websites, music, moving images and nearly 3 million public-domain books,” according to its Wikipedia page (which is, in all likelihood, archived). archive.org Here is a list of just some of the items available at archive.org: bootleg audio from Grateful Dead performances; ﬁlms like Night of the Living Dead (1968) and The Ghoul (1933), starring Boris Karloff; more than 10,000 audiobooks like Carl von Clausewitz’s On War, Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Edgar Rice Burroughs’ The Gods of Mars; and video games from the glory days such as “Prince of Persia,” “The Oregon Trail Deluxe,” “Wolfenstein 3D” and “Metal Gear.” It’s all free to access, organized into Video, Audio, Text (eBooks) and Software, and subcategorized into collections containing everything from old commercials and NASA educational videos to fractal screensavers. If you’re looking for a particular piece of media in the public domain, chances are good it’s somewhere in the Archive: As of October 2012, it was 10 petabytes in size (yes, that’s 1 million gigabytes).

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): To depict what lay beyond the limits of the known world, medieval mapmakers sometimes drew pictures of dragons and sea serpents. Their images conveyed the sense that these territories were uncharted and perhaps risky to explore. There were no actual beasties out there, of course. I think it’s possible you’re facing a comparable situation. The frontier realm you are wandering through may seem to harbor real dragons, but I’m guessing they are all of the imaginary variety. That’s not to say you should entirely let down your guard. Mix some craftiness in with your courage. Beware of your mind playing tricks. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Whenever I close my eyes and seek psychic visions of your near future, I see heroic Biblical scenes. Moses is parting the Red Sea. Joseph is interpreting Pharaoh’s dream. Jesus is feeding 5,000 people with five loaves of bread and two fish. What’s the meaning of my reveries? Well, this psychic stuff is tricky, and I hesitate to draw definitive conclusions. But if I had to guess, I’d speculate that you are ripe to provide a major blessing or perform an unprecedented service for people you care about. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In a New Yorker cartoon, Tom Gauld outlines “The Four Undramatic Plot Structures”: 1. “The hero is

confronted by an antagonistic force and ignores it until it goes away.” 2. “The protagonist is accused of wrongdoing, but it’s not a big thing and soon gets sorted out.” 3. “The heroine is faced with a problem but it’s really difficult so she gives up.” 4. “A man wants something. Later, he’s not so sure. By suppertime he’s forgotten all about it.” In my astrological opinion, Gemini, you should dynamically avoid all four of those fates. Now is a time for you to take brave, forceful action as you create dramatic plot twists that serve your big dreams. CANCER (June 21-July 22): “To be happy is to be able to become aware of oneself without fright,” said heavyweight German philosopher Walter Benjamin, a fellow Cancerian. I am happy to report that there’s a good chance you will soon be blessed with an extraordinary measure of this worry-free self-awareness. And when you do—when you are basking in an expanded self-knowledge infused with self-love and self-appreciation—some of your chronic fear will drop away, and you will have at your disposal a very useful variety of happiness. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “As you get older, the heart sheds its leaves like a tree,” said French novelist Gustave Flaubert. “You cannot hold out against certain winds. Each day tears away a few

more leaves; and then there are the storms that break off several branches at one go. And while nature’s greenery grows back again in the spring, that of the heart never grows back.” Do you agree with Flaubert, Leo? I don’t. I say that you can live with such resilient innocence that your heart’s leaves grow back after a big wind, and become ever-more lush and hardy as you age. You can send down such deep, strong roots and stretch your branches toward the sun with such vigor that your heart always has access to the replenishment it needs to flourish. The coming weeks will provide evidence that what I say is true. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “I will not wait to love as best as I can,” says writer Dave Eggers. “We thought we were young and that there would be time to love well sometime in the future. This is a terrible way to think. It is no way to live, to wait to love.” That’s your keynote for the coming weeks, Virgo. That’s your wake-up call and the rose-scented note under your pillow and the message scrawled in lipstick on your bathroom mirror. If there is any part of you that believes love will be better or fuller or more perfect in the future, tell that part of you to shut up and embrace this tender command: Now is the time to love with all of your heart and all of your soul and all of your mind.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I love the song “Shine On You Crazy Diamond,” by Pink Floyd. Other favorites are Tool’s “Third Eye” and Yo La Tengo’s “Pass the Hatchet, I Think I’m Goodkind.” But all of these tunes have a similar problem. They’re more than 10 minutes long. Even before my attention span got shrunk by the Internet, listening to them tested my patience. Now I have to forcefully induce a state of preternatural relaxation if I want to hear them all the way through. In the coming days, Libra, don’t be like a too-much-of-a-goodthing song. Be willing to edit yourself. Observe concise boundaries. Get to the point quickly. (You’ll be rewarded for it.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Sneaking around isn’t necessary, Scorpio. There’s no useful power to be gained by hiding information or pursuing secret agendas. This is not a time when it’s essential for you to be a master of manipulation who’s ten steps ahead of everyone else. For now, you are likely to achieve maximum success and enjoy your life the most if you are curious, excitable, and transparent. I invite you to embody the mindset of a creative, precocious child who has a loving mommy and daddy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In 1953, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay became the first humans to reach the summit of

Mount Everest. It took them seven weeks to climb the 29,029-foot peak. In 1960, Jacques Piccard and Don Walsh got into a bathyscaphe and sailed to the lowest point on the planet, the Mariana Trench at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. It took them four hours and 47 minutes to go down 36,070 feet. Based on my analysis of your astrological omens, I think the operative metaphor for you in the coming weeks should be the deep descent, not the steep ascent. It’s time to explore and hang out in the depths rather than the heights. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The African country of Ivory Coast has two different capital cities. Yamoussoukro is the official capital, while Abidjan is the actual capital, where the main governmental action takes place. I suspect there’s a comparable split in your personal realm, Capricorn: a case of mixed dominance. Maybe that’s a good thing; maybe it allows for a balance of power between competing interests. Or perhaps it’s a bit confusing, causing a split in your attention that hampers you from expressing a unified purpose. Now would be a favorable time to think about how well the division is working for you, and to tinker with it if necessary. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I’ve gone on three book tours and done my spoken-word show

in scores of bookstores. But one of my favorite author events took place at the Avenue C Laundromat in New York City’s East Village. There I performed with two other writers as part of the “Dirty Laundry: Loads of Prose” reading series. It was a boisterous event. All of us authors were extra loose and goofy, and the audience offered a lot of funny, good-natured heckling. The unusual location freed everyone up to have maximum amusement. I see the coming weeks as a time when you, too, might thrive by doing what you do best in seemingly out-of-context situations. If you’re not outright invited to do so, I suggest you invite yourself. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): When Arnold Schwarzenegger became governor of California in 2003, the state had the eighth largest economy in the world, right behind Italy and just ahead of Brazil. Schwarzenegger had never before held political office. When Cambodian doctor Haing Nor performed in the film The Killing Fields, for which he ultimately won an Oscar, he had no training as an actor. He was a novice. Will you try to follow in their footsteps, Pisces? Is it possible you could take on a role for which you have no preparation or seasoning? According to my divinations, the answer is yes. But is it a good idea? That’s a more complex issue. Trust your gut. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

“ Th e legislation was constitutionally repugnant … tr ying to score cheap politic al point s at the expense of the rule of law.”

STAFF ESSAY BY HARRISON BERRY COMMUNITY OMBUDSMAN GOES PART-TIME In the Feb. 25 edition of Boise Weekly, I wrote about conflict over civilian oversight of the Boise Police Department. For the past 20 months, Boise’s Office of the Community Ombudsman has been filled by Interim Ombudsman Dennis Dunne, who works 19 hours per week. Shortly after our story published, the city of Boise announced it would permanently downsize the job from full- to part-time on the grounds that the number of complaints made to the office has decreased in recent years. Downsizing an underused job sounds sensible, but there is more to reducing the ombudsman’s office than meets the eye: it engages in community conversations about the police force, makes policy recommendations and delivers an annual report to the City Council—things Dunne said have fallen by the wayside during his tenure. “That’s not being done because at 19 hours a week, I don’t have the opportunity to do those things,” he told BW. In the past 15 years, the BPD has transformed into a more responsive, service-oriented police force and while that might free up some of a full-time ombudsman’s schedule, it doesn’t diminish the need for a qualified civilian to perform oversight, outreach, education and policy analysis.

READER COMMENTS From our most-shared Facebook post, Feb. 24-March 3, “The Results are In: BW Poll Shows Strong Support for Marijuana Legalization in Idaho”: Liam Libby: Oh no. Who will fill the prison if we can’t arrest non violent offenders? Lanae Hetland: For some of us this isn’t about being a Pot Head. I do hospice nursing and it would be so helpful to be able to use this for patients who can’t eat and are in pain. My father also suffers from bad seizures and I would love for him to

be able to use it. ... I don’t personally use it but would love to see people be able to have a natural alternative to the terrible synthetic pills they have to take with terrible side effects. Drew Dunn: Given BW’s demographic, who’s surprised? Gidget Colleen Kirsch: Ada County is all about it, unfortunately there are a lot of misguided people in the rest of the state who don’t look past the propaganda being shoved down their throats by uneducated people posing as experts.

Kyle Haugland: I wonder what the results would be of the same poll given to readers of the Statesman. Keyann Saba: It’s almost blatantly mocking the other poll that was taken stating Idahoans are “strongly against” it. 2 different demographics of people polled each time. Vernon Nielsen: I would seriously doubt the intent is to mock the other poll. I think enough readers said the poll on the other site was biased, turns out it was overwhelmingly biased.
