TOUGH STUFF As the father of a 2-year-old, and expecting an addition to the family in early 2015, I have had parenthood on my mind lately—especially during the past three weeks, when my wife and son were out of town visiting family. Nothing quite compares to the stillness of a house suddenly sans a kid. There’s nothing like the vulnerability of knowing he’s hundreds of miles away—impossibly far from your ability to keep an eye on him, play with him, make him a snack, read to him, put him to bed and, at the end of the day, sit in the now-quiet living room knowing he’s safely asleep on the other side of the wall. In that vulnerability, parental emotions wander, attaching themselves to children in books, news stories and movies—at some point, I started to get weepy over commercials. No matter whether or not you’re a parent, harm to a child—anybody’s child—is unthinkable. Ask Christopher Gunness, a United Nations spokesman who broke down in tears when discussing the deaths of Palestinian children during the current fighting in Gaza. All politics aside, Gunness’ reaction was a human one. In those moments, the greatest injustice imaginable seems to be the subjugation of children to the fallout of adult failures. That injustice, and the failure to stop it, is at the heart of this week’s powerful feature story by Boise Weekly News Editor George Prentice. On Page 11, Prentice introduces us to Kallen Hazel, a boy who almost from birth suffered the worst forms of abuse at the hands of those most obligated to protect him. The result was a life cast adrift as this child was bounced from foster home to foster home, institution to institution, eventually manifesting a range of pathologies: manipulation, lying, violence and, ultimately, an act of arson that landed him behind bars—as Prentice puts it, “his final placement.” The severity and amount of failures implicit in the trajectory of Hazel’s life is astounding. From his parents to the system, to the media and himself, it’s as if Hazel didn’t stand a chance from the beginning. It’s a hard story to read, but it is an especially important one now, as adult failures punish children everywhere from Gaza to Idaho. —Zach Hagadone

BILL COPE/OPINION

ASK BILL ABOUT IT Hola Senor Bill,

Yo para usted tener la importante pregunta yo esperar que usted poder muy mucho contestar. Surprise! It’s me. Anonymous, from the Cope’s-Latest-Column Discussion Group. I’ll bet you thought it was some senorita from El Meheeco, but no it’s just little old me. From Boise. I’m learning to speak Spanish this summer as my summer project because every summer, I have a different project because with my job at the bowling lanes, things get real slow in the summer because there are not so many leagues you know, so a few summers ago, I decided to get a project going every summer so I would have things to do with myself. Last summer’s project was learning how to wallpaper a wall, which I did to the walls in my bathroom except in back of the toilet because I didn’t learn how to do that. And the summer before that, I was learning how to make kimchi, which is a thing Korean people do with cabbage by turning it into sauerkraut, only it’s different and it’s called kimchi. This summer, my project is to learn to speak Spanish like I said, because it is such a beautiful language isn’t it? When I go to the store and am waiting in line and somebody is speaking Spanish in back of me or in front, too, I always listen in because it sounds like how I think birds would sound if they could speak Spanish and I always wish I could join in. So I decided if my friend Dottie who you don’t know but we have been friends since that time we were stuck in a snow drift on the Fun Bus to Jackpot together can learn Spanish like she said she did, then so can I, except I’m not good enough at it yet to tell if Dottie is really speaking Spanish or just saying any foreign sounding word that pops into her head. So I told her I wanted to learn Spanish too so we could talk in it together and she said to go buy something called Rosetta Stone, which she said is how she learned to speak Spanish, but then I found out I could not afford this Rosetta Stone, which does not come on my computer like that solitaire game does and you have to buy it separate, which I could not afford. So well then I decided to learn it by going through the whole dictionary and getting that Google translator thing to translate each word for me on my computer. Then I practice saying it over and over only I’m not sure I’m saying it right so I ask Dottie if I’m saying it right, and first she laughs and then she always says I’m saying it wrong, which I don’t know if she’s right or not, and I guess I won’t until I can speak Spanish as well as she can. I am only up to the “B’s” in the dictionary and the bowling lanes will be getting busy again in about a month, so I may have to make learning Spanish my project for next summer too. By the way, Dottie helped me say what I said in the first part of this letter, which is “Hola Senor Bill (that means “Hello Mister Bill”), I for you have an important question I hope that you can very much answer.” Oh, did I tell you Dottie is in the Cope’s-Latest-Column Discussion Group? Yes she is but I think the only reason she joined is because she likes cookies and punch so much, and when I asked her once if she would mind bringing the cookies for the next week, she only laughed and said “Qué la ganso bobo.” Or something like that. Which reminds me that I wanted to catch you up since how long it’s been since I wrote to you on how the Cope’s-Latest-Column Discussion Group’s membership is doing, which if I remember right I told you was down to three people including the one who only comes for the cookies and punch (Dottie, but don’t tell her I told you). But now it is up to nine again because the Baumgartners who you don’t know but they left last winter to join the Downton Abbey-Season-Four Discussion Group came back since there were only something like two or three episodes in the whole season four of Downton Abbey. Also Ron and Dawn Mabley who you don’t know either came back I think just because they don’t have many friends, and also Jim Lukengill and Betty Frost joined the group and you don’t know either of them either. Jim is a plenty nice man but he was arrested for driving drunk and was sentenced to 40 hours community service, and he somehow convinced the judge that coming to Cope’s-Latest-Column Discussion Group was doing his community service somehow. I don’t know much about Betty because she only joined last week but already she has volunteered to bring cookies, which is good enough for me. So anywho, the reason I wrote to you this time is because I really do have an important question for you to answer I hope and… Oh darn it. Now I cannot remember what I wanted to ask you except that it was important. Oh shoot. I am so embarrassed now you must think I am a rattlehead type but I have to quit even though I can’t think of what I wanted to ask you because the mailman will be here soon and I want to get this in the mail today. So as we say in Spanish, “Hasta la tiempo muy mucho proximo.” —Yours truly, Anonymous UUU Dear Anon, I am sure if you just relax, your question will come back. It happens to me all the time, so don’t be embarrassed. It was delightful hearing from you again and adios, muchacha. (I heard Antonio Banderas say that in a movie and have been dying for an opportunity to use it.) P.S.: Have you changed brands of coffee recently, Anon? You seem a bit agitado. Bill Cope will be signing copies of his novel Artists Save the Galaxy from 6-8 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 7, at Flying M Coffeehouse. BOI S EW EEKLY.COM

OPINION/JOHN REMBER

KIDS THESE DAYS Ephebiphobia rears its ugly head

I’ve been polling former colleagues, asking them how they’re feeling about the fresh faces they’ll see in their classrooms in a month or so. Many of them worry that they’ll see a repeat of last year’s faces. Those, they say, came equipped with a lack of initiative and a sense of entitlement. Some of them say there’s been a sea-change in humanity, and you can’t trust anyone under 30 because they don’t think like us old folks. Undergraduates will take over the world and then everything’s really going to go to hell. I shouldn’t bring this up, because it’s a marginalization of an entire class of human beings, and you don’t have live on the Texas border to know that’s a wide-ranging recipe for misery. And someone is bound to quote Socrates: “The youth of today love luxury; they have bad manners and contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Youth are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up food at the table, and tyrannize their teachers.” Socrates is always handy if you want to demonstrate a problem isn’t new. You can note that there’s a clinical condition—ephebiphobia, or fear of teenagers—that has been present throughout history. Adolescents are scary, if I remember my own adolescence correctly. They’re dangerous and self-destructive. They’re touchy about their independence, and think they know way more than they do. It’s probably a mistake to give them weapons and access to internal combustion engines. Add in a lack of initiative and a sense of entitlement, and we should wonder if our civilization isn’t headed down the same rocky road as ancient Greece. But that’s not my worry when I hear complaints about kids these days. Instead, I worry that the problem is new. I worry that we’re seeing the first generation that has been raised by the screens of TVs, computers and mobile phones. Their brains have been rewired by reducing their active participation in the world to taps on a keyboard or a touchscreen. Robert Bly, in The Sibling Society (1996), explores the developmental implications of such a screen-fed existence. He suggests that growing up in a socially networked virtual world instead of in the natural world prevents people from growing up. They get stuck in permanent adolescence, seeing everyone else in their lives as siblings rather than as separate adults. Personal encounters are marked by deep rivalry rather than cooperation, and their biggest complaint becomes, “It isn’t fair.” Bly’s book should be in every parent’s library. The biggest job an adolescent has to face is to see things as an adult, and The Sibling Society is a manual for adulthood, drawing on myth, story, sociology and developmental psychology to make its case.

Bly builds on the insights of an earlier and more obscure book, Michael Ventura’s Shadow Dancing in the USA, which explores the effect that myriad-channel TV, 24-hour convenience stores and video games have had on American culture. Even before Hellfireequipped drones, Ventura pointed out that video gamers were training for deployment. In retrospect, you can wonder if video games didn’t create drones, instead of drones creating video games—that makes you wonder what sort of hellfire video games will create next. Shadow Dancing in the USA is dated now. It was written in 1985, and in a world that contains Moore’s Law, three decades is a long time. I recommend the book for parents anyway, and anyone else wondering why technology divides rather than unites. Ventura doesn’t always focus on young people, but he describes how they’ve been and will be transformed by technology. One more book for the Dr. Spock section of your library: Arthur C. Clarke’s Childhood’s End, a 1953 science-fiction novel about an alien invasion. The aliens establish a world government and stop war, but they take human children from their parents and train them to join the Overmind, a cosmic entity that rules the universe. The last real humans witness the exodus from Earth of total strangers, beings who used to be their children. I’ve been thinking of Childhood’s End since the technology gap became generational. The term digital native applies to most people under 30, and it’s possible to imagine them more involved with their phones, their tablets and the Internet Overmind than with their parents. We aging digital immigrants must appear undocumented to them. I doubt that such a scheme of things creates an attitude of entitlement or a lack of initiative in anyone, but they are probably hard on observable social skills or measurable labor, at least as an older generation defines them. Digital natives live in an entirely different world, one that treats virtual reality as equal or better to the reality you walk through when you go outside without your smartphone. Techno-futurists like Ray Kurzweil talk about post-humans, and promise that posthumans will be the ultimate happy fulfillment of our species’ evolutionary potential. Who knew that post-humans would show up as restaurant workers who forget to refill your coffee, interns who expect managerial positions or new employees that demand detailed lists of instructions—robot-controlling algorithms— to get through the day? You can only hope that when they take over the world they treat their elders as human beings who need kindness, touch and understanding in their marginalized obsolescence. Even if it isn’t fair.

A BRIDGE TO NOWHERE The city of Boise wants to install 811 smart meters throughout the downtown area.

SENSORS AND SENSIBILITY Pardon our schadenfreude but we envision a day when an Ada County Highway District commissioner finds a city of Boise parking ticket tucked under their windshield wiper. It might be devilishly delicious if that expired meter was connected to a sensor embedded in the pavement that ACHD lords over. By now, Boise Weekly readers know the drill: ACHD rules the roads, the city of Boise rules, well, everything except the roads. “The problem, quite frankly is the construct; ACHD is a single-purpose government that has been given jurisdiction in places over a general-purpose government,” said Boise Councilwoman Elaine Clegg. “Even a political science major would tell you it doesn’t work.” The construct is in destruct mode this summer, as the controversy over so-called “smart” meters and sensors that make them smart spiraled this past week into a lawsuit, dueling press releases and a constituency that wants the whole thing to be settled. Here’s what we know: -The city wants to install 811 smart meters that, through the embedded sensors, will be able to detect which spaces are free and communicate with an app that will allow motorists to feed the meter remotely. -The city has installed 89 smart meters with sensors. -The city already has more than 100 smart meters ready to be installed. -Ada County is the only county in the U.S. in which cities don’t control their own roads. “But at least three ACHD commissioners [Rebecca] Arnold, [Sara] Baker and [Mitchell] Jaurena disagree on the city’s technology choice and parking policies,” said Boise City Council President Maryanne Jordan. “ACHD has no statutory authority on our technology and policies. Will utility infrastructure be denied because a few commissioners disagree with rates or choice of pipe?” City officials insisted that ACHD’s demand for a license agreement on the technology was simply none of ACHD’s business. “I’m as confused as much as the public as to what the real gut issue is here,” said Councilman David Eberle. ACHD gave the city a 10-day ultimatum to meet its terms or risk the removal of the embedded sensors. When the city waited until the 11th hour to submit a permit application, ACHD crews were ready to dig up the sensors. That, in turn, prompted the city to seek a restraining order to halt any removal. “It never should have come to this,” said ACHD President John Franden, after agreeing to halt removal of any sensors. Clegg added that the council was “dumbfounded but anxious” to resolve the matter. —George Prentice

Day shelter closes for repairs while homeless are ticketed for camping GEORGE PRENTICE It was a bullhorn moment. Ritchie Eppink, legal director for ACLU of Idaho, was anxious to provide curbside legal assistance to the dozens of men, women and children—all homeless—whose numbers have been growing on Americana Boulevard in the shadow of the Boise Connector. But to be heard beneath the soft roar of traffic, Eppink needed some assistance of his own: a bullhorn. “You don’t have to talk to anybody if you choose not to,” Eppink shouted into the portable amplifier. “Does everybody here understand that? That’s your constitutional right not to speak. The only person who can order you to talk is a judge.” Though sweltering in near triple-digit heat, most of the crowd listened intently. Nearby, a toddler cried, a dog barked incessantly and some of the homeless adults seemed on edge, arguing among themselves. With the exception of Eppink giving street-side legal advice, it was a typical summertime scenario under the overpass near Rhodes Park. But passersby, and even some of the homeless individuals themselves, agreed that this summer’s number of homeless congregating in the wide berth of shade under the Connector has reached record proportions. As a result, this summer’s crowds have triggered more conversations with Boise Police officers who have been regularly patrolling the area (Boise Weekly counted five police cars drive-by’s in 30 minutes). In a few instances, those interactions between police and homeless have not ended well, resulting in citations for violating Boise’s so-called “anti-camping” ordinance. “I just got this a couple of days ago,” said William Smallwood, holding up a police citation and explaining that he has been staying under the bridge for about a month. “The officer told me it’s illegal to sleep here.” “Sleep” is the operative word in Section 9-10-02 of the Boise City Code’s anti-camping ordinance, which says it’s illegal to store “personal belongings … or other temporary structures for sleeping in an unauthorized area” (i.e., streets, sidewalks, parks or public places). But Boise attorney Howard Belodoff and Idaho Legal Aid sued the city in 2009, arguing that the ordinance criminalizes homelessness. So it was not surprising to see Belodoff standing alongside Eppink, talking with the scores of homeless people on Americana Boulevard. Eventually, Belodoff also took the bullhorn. “Listen to me: You can’t be punished for

doing a normal human thing, such as sleeping, in the city of Boise,” said Belodoff. “You need to fight these tickets. You need to defend yourselves. You need to make sure to plead not guilty, I repeat not guilty, ask for a public defender and ask for a jury trial.” Even representatives of the Boise Police Department told BW that they’re not happy about issuing citations to Boise’s homeless. “Quite honestly, enforcement is not the answer. It’s only part of the answer,” said Lynn Hightower, BPD spokeswoman. “The officers know many of the people there by name and interact with them frequently. And those officers often know how long a person has been there and their personal situation. Some appear to be there by choice.” One of those officers is Tom Shuler, a veteran of the Boise Police Department since 1995 and a member of the bike patrol since 1999. “We’re really trying to help out as much as possible,” said Shuler. “We’re not all about enforcement. It’s not purely an adversarial relationship. We try to be decent about it, and if the folks here need help, that’s the bigger part of our job.” Shuler was quick to add that Boise’s homeless have been hit with what he called “a perfect storm” of events, including the temporary closure of the Corpus Christi House, located only a half-block from the underpass. The sign on the door at 525 American Blvd. says Corpus Christi House is “closed for repairs” until Sunday, Aug. 24. “Oh yeah, we have a lot more people hanging out here than usual,” said Shuler, while surveying the scene of homeless adults and children under the bridge. “When Corpus is normally open, on any given day, there would be 60 people down there. So now, you add that number to the people here under the bridge.” Shuler also said that he and his BPD colleagues weren’t overly anxious to hand out those citations unless someone was sleeping on the street when there were available beds at nearby shelters, including Interfaith Sanctuary, the River of Life Men’s Shelter and City Light Home for Women and Children.

“We get daily notifications via phone or email from the shelters on how many beds they have. Then we’re down here under the bridge to find out what’s going on,” said Shuler. “If all the shelters are full, we have agreed that we’re probably not going to issue a citation.” But citations have indeed been handed out and under the overpass, tensions are running as high as the summer heat. “We’re definitely seeing an increase of homeless being evicted or moved from this location,” said Leo Morales, ACLU of Idaho interim director. “When the shelters are full, the bridges are really the only refuge against this extreme heat.” But Morales said the larger debate remains that insufficient resources are being channeled to help the chronically homeless. “The mayor definitely has the responsibility to ensure that all individuals in the city of Boise are protected, and in the case of the homeless community, we don’t think there has been adequate work done to address the issue of homelessness,” said Morales. “It’s regrettable that our city has a 10-year action plan to deal with homelessness and yet, they haven’t dealt with it. We continue to see this issue put to the side, and that leads to the situation that we have today.” Meanwhile, Eppink’s amplified voice could be heard clearly as he continued to offer advice to the crowd of homeless people facing the real possibility of being ticketed, evicted or both. “You don’t ever have to allow people to search your belongings,” Eppink said. “Repeat after me: I do not consent to this search.” Only one person in the crowd repeated the phrase. “Come on. Say it again, everybody,” said Eppink. “I do not consent to this search,” said about 20 homeless people “One more time,” said Eppink. “I do not consent to this search,” said nearly 50 voices now, in unison. A Boise Police officer stood by observing. And the temperature inched closer to 100 degrees, even in the shade of the overpass. B O I S E WE E KLY. C O M

Ilana Rubel (BW, Citizen, “Ilana Rubel,” Jan. 22, 2014), said Emancipating the Past has “a tremendous amount of relevance here.” “Yes, pictures say a thousand words. Think of the picture of a lone Chinese student standing before a tank in Tiananmen Square. Think of the picture of a child running from horrors of war in Vietnam. Images push us back on our feet, and this exhibit does that. It’s interesting in how history exposes the present,” she said. When asked if she would recommend bringing children to such a provocative exhibition, Rubel, a mother of four, didn’t hesitate. “I would not shy away from bringing children,” she said. “There’s a time and place for sex and violence and this is it.” On its website and in its collateral materials, the Boise Art Museum says, “The exhibition is intended for an adult audience.” “We really want people to make the decision for themselves,” said BAM Executive Director Melanie Fales. “The reaction has been extremely positive. But quite frankly, we never knew what the reaction would be.” Many of the forum’s invitees weighed in on whether to expose children to Walker’s work. “If you’re not comfortable, by any means, don’t bring your children,” said BucknerWebb. “Having said that, if you’re ready to have that conversation, by all means, bring them.” Fales added that BAM has crafted a specific family guide to help parents and youth navigate the exhibition. “We’re finding that people want to take part in a conversation such as this,” she said.

As third-year students at Concordia University School of Law prepare to enter their final stretch of law school, it still isn’t clear when—or even if—their diplomas will be worth the paper they’re printed on. But Concordia officials told Boise Weekly, “It’s curious to us and quite premature to make any assumptions” about whether the school will secure accreditation in time for current students to graduate with degrees recognized by the American Bar Association. “We’re in the earliest phrase of the process, the very earliest,” said Madeline Turnock, adviser to the president of Concordia. It’s a fair bet that administrators at Concordia will be anxiously awaiting the results of a closed-door session of the Council of the American Bar Association Section of Legal Education, meeting in Boston on Friday, Aug. 8. An ABA spokesman confirmed for BW that the accrediting arm of the association indeed had Concordia on its agenda. “This Friday’s decision point is the earliest possible time that we could receive provisional accreditation,” said Turnock. Ever since Portland, Ore.-based Concordia, a Lutheran university, swung open the doors to its Boise law school, students and parents have known that the school hadn’t yet secured ABA accreditation. “It can be a three- to five-year process,” Turnock told BW. That’s little consolation to the school’s first round of third-year students, who would like to take the Idaho State Bar exam in 2015. Idaho law requires examinees to be grads from an accredited school. Approximately 100 students and 24 full- and part-time faculty will start the fall semester Monday, Aug. 25. “Concordia puts its students first, and their ability to take the bar is most important to us,” said Turnock. “Students were told it was a multi-year process. All along, parents, students and anyone applying to Concordia were aware of that.” What happens if the ABA doesn’t clear Concordia’s provisional application on Aug. 8? BW has learned that the ABA’s accrediting arm meets each December, March, June and August. When asked by BW, Turnock chose not to acknowledge a worst-case scenario. “There’s not a worst-case, so to speak. Just a series of next possible steps,” she said. “That would be another six or 12 months.” —George Prentice

ITIZENS OF T kly C HE e e w WE E S I EK BO OUR CONVERSATION: When Boyhood was first presented to you in 2001, was the script fully realized? Not really. We had an outline and some firm ideas of all of the family’s changes through the years. But we committed to working on the story through improvisation, which sounded amazing to me. When Boyhood was first presented to me, my own son was 12 years old at the time and I was thrilled with the idea of a project that would watch a child grow. Plus, I always wanted to work with Rick [Linklater], and [co-star] Ethan Hawke. I’m not sure I would have jumped into a project without a script with any other people. We talked for hours about character development, childhood, parenthood, getting divorced, all those things. And here’s the thing: The movie that Rick first talked about in the very beginning is the movie we ended up making. I’m guessing that’s extremely rare. I was part of an incredible alchemy. We weren’t just putting a cast together with good actors. We were put together emotionally. I have to add that nobody was really contractually obliged to return every year. The cast and crew wasn’t under contract? You can’t have a contract with anyone for longer than seven years. Anyway, I don’t know how Rick would have felt about forcing a kid to come back year after year if he didn’t want to do it. But here’s the thing about Ellar; he’s from a family of artists that knew what a beautiful project this might be. So, did you feel personally accountable to the project? It became really personal. For most of the process, it didn’t even feel like a movie. It was more of an exploration of the way humans experience time, and through that, our relationships with one another. How old were you when you started Boyhood and when you wrapped? I was 7 when we started filming;

PATRICIA ARQUETTE AND ELLAR COLTRANE Co-stars of the most buzzed-about film of the summer GEORGE PRENTICE She’s an Emmy Award-winning actress. He’s in the first starring role of his life and has received some of the best reviews in recent memory. Together, they’re mother and son in the most-buzzed-about film of the summer: Boyhood (see Screen, Page 27). You already know Patricia Arquette from her seven seasons on NBC’s Medium (she’ll return to series television this upcoming season in CSI: Cyber), in addition to big screen star turns in True Romance and Flirting With Disaster. She began her film career at 19, and you might also be familiar with acting siblings Alexis, David, Richmond and Rosanna. Her family’s roots even trace back to explorer Meriwether Lewis. But chances are you haven’t yet heard about 19-year-old Ellar Coltrane, the Texas-based actor who is dazzling the nation’s critics in Boyhood, which opens in Boise on Friday, Aug. 8. Boyhood is the inspiration of writer-director Richard Linklater (Dazed and Confused, Before Sunrise, School of Rock). Principal photography began in the summer of 2002 and wrapped in October 2013; so, yes, this movie was an unprecedented 12 years in the making. Aside from the novelty of marathon movie-making, Boyhood has garnered near-unanimous acclaim for its intimacy and insight into the human condition, all through the eyes of a boy who becomes a man before our very eyes.

19 when we finished last October. I’ll turn 20 later his month [Aug. 27]. Do you read reviews? The notices on your performances have been pretty astounding. It makes me a little uncomfortable. But I’ve read bits and pieces. It’s incredible

when audiences and critics express really genuine, vulnerable emotions when they’re talking about the movie. I don’t know if actors really learn that much from their own reviews. And some reviews can be pretty ridiculous. That said, I would read some of the reviews for this movie.

I must admit that your movie snuck up on me. By the time it was over, I felt as if your character was a childhood friend that I didn’t know I had. I didn’t expect the emotional impact it delivered. We remember our childhood, not necessarily huge, obvious markers like birthdays. In reality, it’s the little things. Those little things accumulate. They’re not really profound. But those moments make up who you are. When you see that portrayed on a movie screen, it’s something that’s quite different than any other film. I was stunned when I looked at my watch at the end of the film. It was more than twoand-a-half hours long and yet it seemed like a moment had flashed by. It’s two hours, 41 minutes. Even after our first year of filming, we said there would be no way that this movie would be 120 minutes. But when you have a movie of this length, it means that theaters will have one less showing each day. And when we were done filming, yes, there were some people who told Rick that he had to cut about one hour off of the movie. He said, “We took 12 years to make this thing. People can take two hours and 50 minutes to watch it.” Ellar, I’m presuming that your life, and particularly your acting career, is about to make a big change. I’m a little overwhelmed with the promotion. The next few months will probably be exciting. And that notoriety will only gain momentum when top 10 lists are put out by critics in December. Let’s hope. I would really like to see Rick get an Academy Award. Patricia, are you inclined to give Ellar any career advice? The only think I might say is to stay certain within himself and forge his own path. Ellar has an amazing head on his shoulders and he has a very sophisticated palate for art.

AUTHOR’S NOTE I met Kallen Hazel in 2005. He was 7 years old, a bit pudgy with bleach-blond hair, an occasional smile and unstoppable energy. I remember that he loved cookies, sports and held way too many secrets deep inside his heart. I also knew that he was the victim of severe abuse from those who were supposed to love him. By the time we met in 2005, Kallen required professional help and physical safety. The state of Idaho was anxious for him to be adopted, but this was a boy who had already lived much too long in the shadows of pain and indifference. Long before I decided to return to journalism, I worked with Idaho foster children, first as a guardian ad-litem, representing children in the court system, and then as executive director of The Shepherd’s Home in McCall, which was to become the largest group home for children in Idaho and honored for its work by the Idaho Children’s Trust Fund. Ultimately, I would work for more than 100 children, from newborns to fully-grown young adults. Being an advocate for foster care was a part of my professional career that I take a great deal of pride in, and to this day, it informs the way I report on Idaho social issues and even politics. I had long left my work in foster care when I first read about the huge fire on Scheline Lane in July 2013. Was I shocked? Absolutely. Was I surprised that Kallen Hazel was involved? Not really; saddened certainly, but not surprised. This report, which includes unsealed records of the events surrounding that fire, provides a rare glimpse of what happens when things go horribly wrong in foster care. Could it have been prevented? That’s very possible, but we’ll never know. — George Prentice

HIS FINAL PLACEMENT HOW, AFTER 36 PLACEMENTS, AN IDAHO FOSTER CHILD ENDED UP BEHIND BARS GEORGE PRENTICE

HE WAS “A NEATER-THAN-SNEAKERS KIND OF KID,” ACCORDING TO HIS SOCIAL WORKER. HE WAS “A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR” ACCORDING TO PROSECUTORS. NOW, AFTER 36 FOSTER CARE PLACEMENTS, KALLEN HAZEL IS A FELON.

K

allen Hazel will turn 17 this October, presumably at the Idaho Department of Juvenile Correction facility in Lewiston. According to law enforcement and even some caregivers, he may not see the outside of the jail until well past his boyhood. “If the court does not send Kallen to an adult prison, or release him on adult felony probation, Kallen will automatically be released from the custody of IDJC and placed on adult felony probation on the day he turns 21,” said Jeff Ray, Idaho Department of Correction spokesman. “But he has an adult sentence hanging over his head,” court-appointed attorney Scott Erekson told Boise Weekly. The man who successfully prosecuted Hazel, Valley County District Attorney Jay Kiiha, said Hazel “needs treatment over a BOI S EW EEKLY.COM

long period of time” and there’s no reason to think that he’ll be released from custody anytime soon. “Maybe he can be helped in IDJC, so that tragedy is averted in the future,” Kiiha told BW. Tragedy is the most appropriate word for describing the case of Kallen James Hazel, who scorched much of the emotional landscape of those who cared for him the most. Idaho’s foster care community, a tight-knit group of caregivers who communicate daily via emails and Facebook, were stunned the morning of Monday, July 23, 2013, when they started to hear small details about what had happened the night before. More importantly, they were anxious to know how this foster child, whom many of them had cared for over the years, was now behind bars, charged with felony arson.

“Sherry Scheline’s worst fears were realized,” wrote the McCall Star-News in its July 25, 2013, edition, referring to the Valley County foster mom who was Hazel’s most recent caregiver. She had just watched her historic barn go up in flames in a blaze started by her own foster child. “For the better part of three hours, I thought he was in the fire,” Scheline remembered. “Twice, I tried to run into the barn, but the fire department pulled me back.” Scheline watched much of her livelihood go up in flames while sitting in the backseat of a Valley County Sheriff’s car. While wiping away a steady stream of tears, she heard a message come across the police radio: Authorities found the then-15 year-old Hazel hiding in a swampy 12 area off of Highway 55.

WEDNESDAY’S CHILD “I lost it,” she later told BW. There’s a chance that you may have seen Kallen Hazel. He was a so-called “Wednesday’s Child” on multiple occasions on KTVB-TV. It’s a segment in which news anchors profile Idaho foster children anxious to find adoptive parents. The feature stories are co-productions of KTVB and Special Needs Adoptive Parent Services, a charitable

The boy’s preoccupation with animals would turn out to be very troubling in the years to come. In fact, during its investigation of the 2013 arson, the Valley County Prosecutor’s Office said Hazel talked extensively about hurting animals during a pre-sentence interview. “He talked about torturing animals,” Valley County Prosecutor Jay Kiiha confirmed for BW. “Torture is a hallmark thing that someone talks about before they become really dangerous as an adult.”

“ I H O PE WE C A N F I ND A FA M I LY WHO CA N REAL LY L O V E H I M F OR W HAT HE I S. ” nonprofit corporation. “My name is Kallen, and I am 9 years old,” said Hazel in a May 2007 Wednesday’s Child profile. “I want a dad and all brothers, only I don’t want brothers that bully me. I don’t think I want sisters because girls have cooties. Well, maybe I would like sisters if they were older and nice. I want pets in my family.”

Scheline, Hazel’s last foster parent, said she only learned during the boy’s arson trial that he, “Wanted to strangle my goat and that he smashed the turtle’s shell and snapped its neck off.” At the time of Hazel’s placement in her home, Scheline’s farm was also home to four horses, three cows, three dogs, two goats, a lamb and a turtle, before it died.

In that same 2007 profile, Hazel’s caseworker with the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare described the 9-year-old as “funny, smart and unpredictable,” but she also said, “Kallen deals with emotional challenges by keeping his pain inside.” In a separate profile, also in 2007, that same IDHW caseworker amended her original description of Hazel when she wrote, “Kallen deals with emotional challenges by keeping his pain inside until it bubbles to the top.” In yet another Wednesday’s Child profile, this time in 2009, Hazel’s caseworker put greater emphasis on the child’s fascination with animals. “Kallen enjoys spending time with all types of animals,” she wrote.

Yet, as recently as March 2011, Hazel was still being promoted as a Wednesday’s Child on KTVB. Then 13, he was growing taller and stronger. In the most recent television profile, he was shown playing hoops with the Boise State University men’s basketball team, along with Head Coach Leon Rice. “He’s so enthusiastic,” said his IDHW social worker at the time. “There’s so much I can say about Kallen. He’s just a neaterthan-sneakers kind of kid. So I hope we can find a family who can really love him for what he is.” What the profile didn’t mention is that it was becoming more difficult to find an Idaho foster home for Hazel, let alone adoptive parents.

36 PLACEMENTS It’s important to note that the case of Kallen Hazel is an aberration. While his is a cautionary tale about being able to read clear signals that something is very wrong with a particular foster child, the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare said it has had measurable success when it comes to child welfare. “Most of our foster kids ended up going home. Things get better,” said Miren Unsworth, Child Welfare Program manager for IDHW’s child and family services. “I would guess that about 68 percent of the children end up reunifying with parents. Plus, Idaho has seen a greater emphasis on placements with other relatives, especially grandparents.” That said, if a child in foster care exhibits inappropriate or even violent behavior while in the care of a foster parent, IDHW said it’s ready to move in. “If the child has outrageous behaviors, we’re there for support,” said Andie Blackwood, child welfare chief for IDHW. “If a child violates a policy, we’re in a position to assess that. The child is still accountable for their own behaviors.” Which could, and often does, lead to the child being pulled from one foster home and moved to another. That, in turn, might lead to a spiral of multiple foster care placements. “Over time, the reasons for the removal from one home and into another could become the very reason to exclude the child from being placed in a number of homes,” said Richard Johnson, CEO of Family Advocates, which includes more than 500 so-called guardian ad-litems, advocates for more than 1,100 foster children in Southern Idaho each year. “But then you start placing foster children in homes that are not ideal matches. Yes, they may be adequate for safety, but no, they’re not ideal matches. And those bridges can blow up quickly.” Johnson also made a point of mentioning pets as an important issue in placing some children. “In some cases, it may have been that a foster child was inappropriate around pets. But then you start looking for homes with no pets,” he said. “Before long, you have to find an extremely unique placement that, quite simply, doesn’t exist.”

Looking back, Scheline said Kallen Hazel was probably running out of placement options in early 2012. By then, he had already been in and out of 35 other homes and institutions. “They [IDHW] basically told me at the time that they had attempted to adopt Kallen, but that had failed again, and they had no place else to put him,” she said. In 2007, Scheline moved into her grandparents’ old house, which sits on 68 acres of farmland, just north of Donnelly. She lives there today with a 6-year-old girl for whom she cares as part of a court guardianship arrangement with the girl’s mother. Occasionally, Scheline would also rent out living quarters in her barn. “Yes, there was a man living in that barn at the time Kallen started the fire. But that man wasn’t in the barn that day. It was a narrow miss,” said Kiiha. “That barn…” Scheline took a moment and swallowed. “That barn was magical. It meant a lot to our family. But we lost it in the fire.” The barn dated back to the mid-20th century and contained a tractor, saddles, bridles, tools and plenty of hay. The farm was even featured in an exhibit of historic wooden barns in the area. Scheline has been a caregiver for foster children for 15 years. She estimates that she has taken in 118 kids over the years in both Idaho and Washington. Her family has been a fixture in Valley County for decades. The family can even claim its own street—the farm sits on Scheline Lane, just off of Highway 55. But in February 2012, she got the call regarding Hazel from an IDHW caseworker. “She told me that an adoption for Kallen had just fallen apart,” Scheline said. “I wasn’t sure what went wrong at the time, but I would find out more about that later. All they told me at the time was that Kallen had trouble with his adoptive parents and that it wasn’t going to work out and they needed to move him back to Idaho as soon as possible.” Scheline said she insisted on “full disclosure” before taking Hazel into her home, because “quite honestly, I had a few fears and I wanted as much information as possible. Kallen’s caseworker at Health and Welfare said that would be fine and that there were no concerns.”

It was agreed that while licensing was straightened out and Scheline had a chance to review Hazel’s file, he would be placed in Hays House, a group home for children in Boise. In April 2012, while Hazel was still at Hays House, he ran away. He was found a day later, but that wasn’t to be the last time he would run. “He ran so many times, that this time Health and Welfare decided to send him up to NWCH [pronounced “NICH”],” said Scheline. NWCH is Northwest Children’s Home— with two campuses, one in Lewiston and another in Nampa, which serves only girls—and is a treatment center for youth who have severe emotional and behavioral troubles. “When he got to the NWCH treatment facility in Lewiston, one of the counselors told me, ‘I think there’s a lot of stuff that the state hasn’t told you about Kallen, but we can’t legally disclose that to you.’ I thought I had full disclosure on him, but I guess I didn’t,” said Scheline. “In the meantime, the people at NWCH said they wanted Kallen up there for at least six months of treatment.” Scheline said she considered herself committed to Hazel’s well-being and drove to Lewiston each weekend for visits at the treatment facility. “Anyone who says they do foster care for the money doesn’t know what they’re talking about,” she said. In the meantime, counselors at NWCH had agreed that Hazel could spend occasional weekends at Scheline’s Valley County home, in preparation for his release and formal foster care placement with Scheline. Some of those weekends were better than others, including a lot more runaway incidents both from NWCH and Scheline’s home. In one particular incident, when he ran away from NWCH, Hazel went missing for nine days before he ended up in Lewiston’s juvenile detention facility. Hazel was even accused of badly beating another NWCH resident, who required hospitalization. He was charged with battery, found guilty and ordered to spend five days behind bars. By then, Hazel had blown up yet another

bridge and counselors at NWCH told Scheline that Hazel’s therapy “wasn’t working” and he had to leave the facility. “Where would he go this time? Health and Welfare asked me again if he could come to my house. I honestly don’t know why I said yes,” she said. On one particularly bad night at Scheline’s home, Hazel broke a window and she told him that he would need to help pay for the repair. That’s when Scheline said Hazel boasted about setting a bed on fire in the home of the Indiana family that had previously agreed to adopt him. “I had heard enough. That’s when I picked up the phone and called that family in Indiana. The mother confirmed that he had indeed burned a bed there, but she was still reluctant to tell me more about why they kicked him out,” said Scheline, who was becoming increasingly worried. Then came Sunday, July 22, 2013.

DAMAGE FOR $500,000 AND A CHECK FOR $2,000 “I was out in the yard working that evening, and I saw Kallen carrying something—it was red—into the barn,” said Scheline. At first she thought Hazel was carrying a skateboard. “Don’t skateboard in the barn,” she yelled. “Plus, you need your helmet.” Scheline grabbed a helmet and placed it on the outside of the barn, and turned away. Moments later she said she thought that some lights had come on in the barn. “I thought, ‘Wow, those lights are bright.’ Then I heard a huge ‘woosh,’” she said, her arms flying in the air. Kallen had found matches in the home and that flash of red in his hand was a gas can. “He started the fire in the middle of the

barn and the flames flew up to his arm so he dropped the gas can,” said Scheline. “But I never saw him get out of the barn.” It was three hours later, as Scheline worried that Hazel had died in the blaze, when police said they found the boy hiding in a swampy area near Highway 55, about a mile away. Meanwhile, the flames could be seen soaring more than 20 feet above the tree line, according to the McCall Star-News. Fifteen firefighters from the McCall and Donnelly fire departments were dispatched with two water tankers. The Southern Idaho Timber Protective Association also sent an engine and crew. One of the Valley County investigators later asked Hazel what would have happened if a firefighter had died while battling the blaze. “Kallen said, something like, ‘That’s too bad, but that’s what he’s there for,’” said Kiiha. “He’s a scary kid.” Hazel was arrested and charged as an adult with arson and burglary, both felonies. “I will tell you this: I have to look aat every juvenile as a young person. T The juvenile code advises us to allow tthat juvenile to reform himself or h herself,” said Kiiha. “But it was the ccallousness of that young man, and tthe callousness of that act that ultim mately brought him before me.” Scheline, with much of her farm iin ashes, was left with the task of aadding up the toll of the damage. The estimate to rebuild the barn w was $323,131 (just in materials, n not labor); another $71,508 for a ggrainery that went up in flames; aand $3,800 for a corral fence. Large eequipment, including a trailer, m motorcycle, generator, jeep and ssnowmobiles totaled $59,848. Plus tthere was another $28,159 for lost it items belonging to other people who h had stored their things in the barn. All in, the total loss was $ $524,780. Scheline said when she called the IIdaho Department of Health and W Welfare, officials there insisted that sshe send them the itemized list of llosses. What she received in response w was almost as much a shock as the fi fire itself. 14

“WE ARE SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE...” The letter was dated Dec. 3, 2013, and signed by Kris Coffman, claims adjudicator in the Risk Management Program of the Idaho Department of Administration. “Your claim … has been evaluated,” wrote Coffman. “It has been determined that compensation is in order as follows: The maximum allowable limit per incident is $2,000, with an aggregate of $2,000 per state fiscal year per foster family.” The $2,000 cap is set by policy by the Idaho Bureau of Risk Management, a division of the Idaho Department of Administration. A check for $2,000 arrived a few days later from the office of Idaho State Controller Brandon Woolf. “I couldn’t believe it,” said Scheline, showing the check to Boise Weekly. “The state is saying that foster kids are negligent of responsibility. I’ve googled this everywhere, and I can’t find anything that would help me. There still may be a restitution hearing on this. I’m weighing my options, but right now I don’t even know if I have any options.” According to a spokeswoman for the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, the agency has little say in the matter of recovery of damages. But the Department made a point of saying that an additional check for $2,500 had been forwarded to Scheline’s insurance company and another $2,500 was forwarded to Schedline’s parents who had submitted a separate claim for loss of their own personal items in the fire. But all totaled, the $7,000 is still more than $493,000 short of the damages. Meanwhile, Hazel was sitting in a Valley County jail. Because he was a ward of the state, he was assigned a court-appointed attorney. “No, I’ve never dealt with a foster child tried as an adult,” said McCall attorney Scott Erekson, who represented Hazel as a courtappointed lawyer. “It was strange.” Instantly, everything in the criminal trial had become public. It’s rare enough that a child is accused as an adult, but when that child is also in the protective custody of the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, a once-very-private seal is broken on the legal proceedings. “Yes, it’s public record,” Kiiha told BW. Kiiha said that during investigative interviews, Hazel revealed himself to be a “pathological liar.” “He even said something about fathering an illegitimate child. There were a lot of fabrications,” he said. “He really is dangerous.”

14 | AUGUST 6–12, 2014 | BOISEweekly

Kiiha kept coming to the conclusion that Hazel had no business being in rural Valley County. “I suppose the question is: What was he doing up here? Up here, where there weren’t a lot of services available to him? Had he been in a more, let’s say, residential type of setting, maybe this tragedy could have been averted. Maybe not. Who knows? He was a scary kid.” Ultimately, Kiiha told Idaho 4th District Judge Thomas Neville that Hazel lived in a fantasy world and was a danger to society. Additionally, a sentencing investigator said he found Hazel to be “calculating and manipulative” and triangulated adults around him. “Frankly, it’s just plain meanness to a degree that is seldom witnessed by this court,” Neville said when he turned to Hazel for sentencing in November 2013. Neville ordered Hazel to pay at least $300,000 in restitution and handed down a 15-year sentence for Hazel’s guilty plea to arson. The charge of burglary was dismissed. In January 2014, Hazel was transferred to the Idaho Department of Juvenile Correction facility in Lewiston. “I haven’t seen him since he was transferred out of here,” said Erekson. “Yes, I’m still his attorney. I can tell you that nothing new is scheduled in his case anytime soon. Juvenile correction puts out reports on how he’s doing.” Kiiha said he reads those reports closely. “On his 21st birthday, yes, he would come back here to Valley County to go before the judge for reconsideration. That’s when he’ll determine if Kallen needs to spend the rest of his sentence in an adult prison,” he said. “Or, quite possibly, he could be released on probation.” Kiiha quickly added that if Hazel were ever to be put on probation, he would not be welcome in Valley County. “I made a point of asking that Kallen not come back to Valley,” he said. “I don’t think he’s ever coming back here.” According to Kiiha, there was some shock in the community at the crime—mostly at the time of the fire. “It was a pretty substantial blaze,” he said, “but most of the people were asking, ‘What was he doing up here in the first place?’” In the meantime, Scheline said she still doesn’t know whether to cash that check for $2,000. She’s afraid that by cashing it, it’s an acceptance that she agrees with the state that it’s all she’s owed. “I have moments where I’ve been so bitter; bitter with the system, bitter with Kallen, bitter with myself,” she said. “But I have to know that I have to be better; better for those around me, and better for other foster children.”

WHEN THINGS GO RIGHT Sixty-seven percent of Idaho foster children return to their parents GEORGE PRENTICE

The smile on Tara Mulvahill’s face had a special quality. She’s a new mom. “Life is good,” she told Boise Weekly. Mulvahill has been an Idaho foster parent for seven years, and more than 40 children have walked through her door and into her arms. Now, at 52 years of age, she calls one of those children her own. “I’m a first-time parent,” she said. “I just adopted a little guy who I’ve care for the past two-and-a-half years. He’ll turn 3 this coming week.” Mulvahill is a rare breed. While there are 1,300 homes licensed for foster care in Idaho, that’s not nearly enough. It turns out that many of those homes—nearly half—are exclusively licensed to care for a relative, quite often a grandchild. That means that somewhere around 700 foster care families were available to nearly 1,200 non-relative foster children this year. “We don’t have enough foster families,” said Tara Wright. She should know. An attorney who has represented children in family court, Wright worked for the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare for five years, and now works as a contractor for IDHW, specifically recruiting new foster families. In the course of a 90-minute conversation with BW, she continually looped back to her mantra: Idaho needs more foster families. “Let me give you a real example of three children I can think of right now,” said Wright. “It’s important that the three siblings remain in their same schools, see the same crossing guards, see the same classmates; but we don’t have families that can take all three. Then one sibling ends up three counties away and the other two are two counties away from their original home. We just don’t have enough options to make the best placement.” At the Boise office of Family Advocates, the parent nonprofit of the Treasure Valley’s guardian ad-litem program, which represents foster children in the family court system, CEO Richard Johnson has the same shortage dilemma.

16 | AUGUST 6–12, 2014 | BOISEweekly

“A guardian ad-litem, in most situations, is one of the longest-lasting relationships that a foster kid has,” said Johnson. “Case workers change, foster placements change, schools change. But the guardian follows that child until the case is closed. Sometimes it’s six months; sometimes it’s six years.” Simply put—and there is very little that is simple in foster care—a guardian ad-litem is the eyes and ears of the court. Armed with a stack of court orders issued by a family court judge, the guardian has complete access to IDHW files, medical records, school records and regularly monitors the child in the home setting, foster care setting and supervised parental visitations. Eventually, the guardian reports only to the judge in helping decide the best placement for the child. “We have an army of about 530 guardian ad-litems,” said Johnson, whose region covers both Ada and Canyon counties. Johnson said Idaho foster children can’t be stereotyped. “It’s safe to say that within six blocks of anyone’s home, there is a child that is experiencing some form of neglect or abuse,” he added. “It’s as likely to happen in Eagle or Hidden Springs as it is to happen in Garden City. I would challenge anybody to identify who a foster kid is based on where they live.” It’s equally challenging for the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare to keep caseworkers, but not as difficult as it used to be. “It’s much better now. Today, Idaho doesn’t struggle the way other states struggle. We’re experiencing about a 15 percent to 17 percent turnover. Some states are seeing a 30 percent turnover,” said Miren Unsworth, Child Welfare Program manager for IDHW. “That said, we do see turnover. The nature of the work is very hard. The average caseworker is handling 13 to 17 different cases, but that doesn’t tell you the number of children in each case. In one case, you may have one mother, three fathers and seven kids.”

IDHW officials said they’re also trying something new—they call it One Church One Child—where they partner with communities of faith to help recruit foster and adoptive parents. Patterned after a Chicago program, the Idaho version is still in its infancy. The mission looks to mobilize congregations to identify and provide for the needs of foster children and their birth families. “But it’s not exclusively faith-based,” said Sabrina Brown, IDHW program specialist assigned to One Church One Child. “We’re very flexible with the program. It’s not so much about a church as it is about a community that’s coming together to help. There are a number of nonprofits who are part of the program that aren’t faith-based.” Perhaps the most important number is 67. That’s the percentage of children who, after being placed into protective custody, end up reunified with a parent or primary caregiver. “The high 60s, that’s very good,” Unsworth told BW. “Most of our kids go home.” Nobody is saying that it’s easy: The average length of time in foster care for those children is 255 days—that’s why foster care is so critical. And, Wright added, the relationship with the foster parent and the birth parent can be healthy and last long after the child has returned home. “When I’m done talking to you today, I’m heading up to pick up my former foster daughter. She’s back home now, but we took care of her six years ago when she was 6 years old,” said Wright. “I have a great relationship with the birth mom. Foster families and biological families working together is a wonderful thing. That girl is 13 now. She’s doing great.” Before Wright headed for the door, she put in one last pitch: “Did I mention that we really need foster parents?” Anyone interested in learning more about becoming a foster parent can find out more by dialing the Idaho 2-1-1 CareLine.

Koonce’s 2014 book, Idaho Beer: From Grain to Glass in the Gem State, explores the history of Idaho breweries and offers a roadmap to the future of Idaho beer. He’ll be selling and signing books at 6 p.m. Connelly is the queen of boisebeerbuddies.com—a weekly newsletter about all things beer, including news and events. While she’s at PreFunk, she’ll sell memberships to Boise Beer Buddies, which gives beer- lovers discounts at breweries around the Treasure Valley. The folks at PreFunk will be serving beer at Boise Art Glass next door throughout the evening, as well. prefunkbar.com

DISTRICT COFFEE HOUSE On First Thursday, you can learn a little about pour-over coffee and the country of Haiti at The District Coffee House (219 N. 10th St.). Starting at 6 p.m., The District hosts a free tasting, where experts will explain the origins of their coffee beans and the flavors and aromas associated with different regions. If you’ve never tried pour-over coffee, it’s a technique in which coffee is ground, brewed and poured one cup at a time. The District pours near-boiling water over a paper cone filled with fresh grounds and lets the coffee drip slowly into the cup. They’re calling this tasting session “a great way to expand your coffee palate and knowledge.” Once you have your superior cup of joe, peruse the images of medical mission trips to Haiti taken by two young Idaho women who founded the nonprofit Haiti Picture Project. Each photo is in a frame made of “reclaimed raw wood” by local framer Plume, and all proceeds from the sale of the photos benefit Global Visions Citadel Ministries “to rebuild a church in the village of Grosse Roche, Haiti.” districtcoffeehouse.com

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 6 TOO SLIM & THE TAILDRAGGERS Opening Act: Fort Harrison Cut off your T-shirt sleeves, put on your mirrored aviators and get ready to get down with country-fried blues rockers Too Slim and the Taildraggers. The band’s brand of “women and whiskey” roadhouse rock ’n’ roll evokes a rootsy bayou vibe that belies its origins in Spokane, Wash. Performing for an impressive 28 years, Too Slim has released 11 studio albums and earned accolades like Best Blues Band from the Inland Empire Blues Society and Best Regional Band from the Cascade Blues Association. 5 p.m. Grove Plaza, 900 W.

FOURTH ANNUAL BARS AND BALLADS Forty-one years ago, the Old Idaho Penitentiary was a functioning prison housing more than 600 inmates. It had solitary confinement cells, a death row and a hanging room. Today, it’s open to the public as a preserved glimpse of prison history, and on Friday, Aug. 8, it will be a concert venue. The Fourth Annual Bars and Ballads features performances from Emily Tipton, Mission 66 and Marshall Poole. Visitors are invited inside the prison walls to set up picnics and low-back chairs in the courtyard and cool off with a beer from Crooked Fence Brewing. Wine will be sold by the Friends of the Historical Museum. Proceeds benefit the Idaho State Historical Society. Hang out, bring a picnic (no outside alcohol or glass bottles allowed), have a blast and be happy you’re there by choice. 6-10 p.m. (last admission at 9 p.m.), $5 for adults, $3 for kids. Old Idaho Penitentiary, 2445 Old Penitentiary Road, 208334-2844, history.idaho.gov/old-idaho-penitentiary.

FRIDAY AUG.8 hey, aren’t you the guy who was on TV? MARCUS EATON LIVE AT CROOKED FLATS Marcus Eaton is close to bona fide rockstar status now—the former Boisean lives in L.A., performed overseas twice in the past year, toured with David Crosby as a member of his backing band and played with the rock icon on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. On top of all of that, Eaton is working on a new album (featuring Crosby) that he plans to release in late 2014. Like so many artists, he is often asked to donate his time and talent for any number of causes. But when home calls, Eaton tries to answer. When he met Idaho Dance Theatre Artistic Director Marla Hansen a few weeks ago, it was easy for Eaton to say yes when she asked him to put on an IDT fundraiser concert. “I think it’s really important to the future of art for artists, whether they’re dancers, musicians, visual artists or whatever, to collaborate,” Eaton said. Eaton will perform solo and said he’ll likely play a few songs from the upcoming album. While there won’t be a collaboration on stage, there will certainly be one in spirit. 7 p.m., $15 adv., $20 door. Crooked Flats, 3705 Highway 16, Eagle (no outside food or beverage).

28TH ANNUAL NAMPA FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS

CALDWELL NIGHT RODEO

Two days+190 booths: Those numbers add up to an artsy weekend in Nampa, as it celebrates 28 years of the Nampa Festival of the Arts. There you’ll find it all: jewelry, painting, sculpture, yard art; food; kids activities; dance demonstrations; and music from Boise Blues Society, Voice of Reason Reggae, Simple Ruckus and more. With 15,000 attendees, you won’t be lonely as you peruse fine arts, Old World art, country crafts and books. Hosted by the Nampa Parks and Recreation Department at Lakeview Park, the Nampa Festival of the Arts also features a juried art show in the rose garden, where fine artists—working in both two- and three-dimensional media—vie for champion, gold, silver, bronze, honorable mention and people’s choice awards. Put on by Nampa Parks and Rec, the festival is free and open to the public, though organizers ask that pet owners leave their dogs at home—assistive animals excluded. Aug. 9: 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; Aug. 10: 11 a.m.-4 p.m.; FREE. Lakeview Park, Garrity Boulevard at 16th Avenue North, Nampa, nampaparksandrecreation.org.

In 1935, Amelia Earhart performed the first solo flight from Hawaii to California, the first canned beer was sold and the Richter scale, used to measure earthquakes, was developed. That same year, the Caldwell Night Rodeo was founded, and it has been showcasing feats of endurance, giving cause to crack open a few brews and shaking the earth ever since. This year, the CNR opens Tuesday, Aug. 12, with the Buckaroo Breakfast, 6:30-9:30 a.m. at the Caldwell Events Center (2207 Blaine St.), followed by a day of barrel racing, junior rodeo and steer riding until 7:55 p.m., when the opening night performance kicks off an historic Caldwell community event where, as the slogan says, “the cowboys are the stars.” Events continue each day beginning at 6:30 p.m. until Saturday, Aug. 16, when the CNR queen will be crowned and the rodeo culminates with the championship finals performance of 12 top contestants in each event. Times vary, $8-$75. Caldwell Night Rodeo Grounds, 2301 Blaine St., Caldwell, 208-459-2060, caldwellnightrodeo.com.

When the first Slingbox was introduced in 2005, it was the ideal piece of technology for people who wanted to watch television on their mobile devices. The technology was fairly simple to set up: Customers would plug Slingbox into their cable boxes, install its video player on their laptops and, almost immediately, they could start streaming live television and digitally recorded $150. Available on sling.com or from video content over various home electronics retailers. the Internet. Since then, the Internet—and how people use it—has changed. Many television shows and sports games can be streamed or downloaded directly on a computer or mobile device. In most cases, watching TV on an iPad doesn’t require a cable box at all (e.g. HBOGo). But for sports fans, in particular, having a lifeline to a cable box is still a necessity—and it’s largely for them, and other television-bound media enthusiasts, that the Slingbox M1 was developed. The M1 ($150) sports a faster connection and a two-way Wi-Fi connection, meaning it doesn’t need an ethernet cable to connect the box to a router. The mobile apps are streamlined, meaning faster, smoother viewing on tablets and phones—perfect for the Red Sox or Academy Awards fan. —Harrison Berr y

In an agreement with Cable One, the Treasure Valley’s primar y cable-television provider and the nation’s 10th largest cable company with 700,000 customers in 19 states, Netflix has landed on Cable One’s lineup, meaning viewers won’t need a media streaming box or por table device to watch Netflix. It’s now Channel 558. Original programming from Netflix—including Emmy-nominated House of Cards, Orange is the New Black and the recently released four th season of The Killing—has redefined television.

many of the networks. While Netflix and Cable One are best buddies, an uneasy truce has been reached between Netflix and AT&T, which famously called Netflix “arrogant” in the companies’ public feud over interconnection fees. Netflix recently agreed to pay AT&T an undisclosed fee to improve the quality of its streaming and reduce buffering for its subscribers. Netflix had previously argued that it had no desire to pay Internet ser vice providers to deliver its content, but the ISPs said it wasn’t fair for all of their customers to shoulder the cost of improving its signal strength just so Netflix can stream more videos. —George Prentice

CULTURE/NEWS CULTURE/ART HAR R IS ON B ER RY

SET IN STONE BRS kicks off its aptly named Free Camp.

REFUGEE AND AT-RISK YOUTH GET ROCK SCHOOLED FOR FREE For about the cost of a refurbished iPod or a boss tattoo, kids ages 3 to 18 can attend a Boise Rock School summer camp and learn several things, including how to play an instrument, how to write songs, how to record music, how to produce a radio show, how to design a gig poster, how to form a band and how to name that band. BRS co-founders Jared Goodpaster and Ryan Peck could use a lesson in that last one, though. “We probably should come up with a name for it,” Peck said, laughing. “We’ve just been calling it ‘Free Camp.’” It is both of those things, but it’s so much more. BRS’ Free Camp for Refugees and At-Risk Youth (Monday, Aug. 18-Friday, Aug. 22), was created as an expansion of BRS’ nonprofit outreach program, Rock on Wheels, which takes music instruction to places where there isn’t any—for example, teachers make a weekly trip to Horseshoe Bend. Free Camp was a natural extension of the Rock on Wheels concept and came about through an act of generosity following a tragedy. A few years ago, at the funeral of a young musician who died in a car accident, people made donations to BRS in the musician’s name. “A lightbulb went off,” Peck said. “I told Jared, ‘Rather than buy a new guitar or something for the school, we should do For more information, to something register or to nominate a really cool with student for Free Camp, visit boiserockschool.com. the money.’” That “something really cool” grew, and now nearly 40 youth from around the world and all walks of life attend the weeklong Free Camp, a unique opportunity for young people dealing with behavioral or emotional issues, or some kind of major upheaval in their lives, like moving to a new country or losing a parent. “One kid I signed up today, his dad went to jail and [the kid] was sent to foster care,” Peck said. The original plan was that Free Camp— now in its third year—would be a one-time deal, but as it turned out, the teachers took as much from the experience as the kids. “We were only going to do it the one year but it was so much fun,” Peck said, adding that BRS hopes to expand even further and find the space and funds for 100 kids—or more. —Amy Atkins

Exploring the Celebration Park petroglyphs with a Dutch art expert HARRISON BERRY Just south of the green cornfields between Kuna and Caldwell is a prairie of stubby shrubs, parched earth and volcanic rocks that rolls like ocean swells to the banks of the Snake River. Over the edge of the Snake River Canyon is Celebration Park, where thousands of massive, polished stones lay between the angular basalt of the canyon and the water’s edge. Painstakingly etched on many of these stones are some 5,000 petroglyphs depicting people, animals, symbols, astronomical tools and other designs anthropologists still struggle to interpret. Before it was Celebration Park, the field was a Native American religious site where people would starve and dehydrate themselves to experience hallucinations as part of their vision quests. It was during these quests that they often chipped and chiseled signs and symbols into the smooth rocks nearby. For Kerstin Winking, Celebration Park was a must-see destination. A curator at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, where she specializes in parallels between modern and ancient art found around the world, Winking came to experience a place where what mattered to some of Southern Idaho’s earliest inhabitants is literally etched in stone. Her visit to Boise was at the behest of Ming Studios, and exploring the park was a chance for Winking to draw connections between modern artists and those long ago people whose work inspired them to retool millenniaold aesthetics for an array of personal, artistic and political purposes. “I’m really interested in contemporary art, so I’m always excited when I see these things in their work,” Winking said. Winking and a small group made the pilgrimage to Celebration Park early on a Saturday morning. By 10:30 a.m., the group was meandering along the pathways between “gravels” (the technical term for the stones) and examining the petroglyphs with the help of a tour guide. Amid a grove of gravels, the guide distinguished between three different kinds of petroglyphs found in the park: linear, representational and abstract. Linear glyphs tend to be symbolic and appear as rough combs, fences and squiggly lines. Representational etchings depict real-world objects like people and animals. But many of the petroglyphs in the park are abstract, leading to widespread disagreement between anthropolo-

gists as to their meaning and use. The temptation to interpret the petroglyphs is as strong for visitors to the park as it is for archaeologists. Almost immediately, the tour group began to come up with its own explanations for the designs on the rocks, some of which date back as far as 10,000 years. “Based on your own culture and the evidence in front of you, people make up their own stories,” said tour guide Deb Ellis. Among them are figures that look like alien heads, a rare “X-ray” design (one of the few north of the equator) depicting a vivisected snake, what appears to be a three-legged squid and hundreds of designs that invite endless interpretation. An astronomical chart is aligned with true north to within six-tenths of a degree. Then there’s the so-called Anomaly, which comprises 19 vertical hashes surrounding the crest of a gravel—one of the only petroglyphs in the park that can be seen from 360 degrees. On the ride back to Boise, Winking talked about the universality of many of the themes she saw in Celebration Park’s petroglyphs. Among her favorites were the three-legged octopus and a cracked stone in the shape of a chair, covered in markings suggesting fertility. “It reminded me of an origin story and how ancient cultures have these things. It’s a theme: All great books connect back to them,” she said. While many native peoples used the arts to represent their spirituality and the tensions of the material worlds in which they lived, Winking said contemporary artists often crib their aesthetic to represent more abstract themes. “The artists also have interpretations [of native artworks]. I think artists use the primitive to comment on and critique modern society— you could say capitalist society,” she said. Use of the word “primitive” in relation to native or ancient art is controversial. For many, the term implies the cultural superiority of the interpreter—as if primitive arts are in some way simplistic or less developed than contemporary art—and critical discussion

of artworks is hampered or even invalidated when it’s used. Far from rehabilitating the term was the Museum of Modern Art’s 1984 exhibition, “Primitivism” in 20th Century Art, which was criticized for mishandling the topic. Its mistakes—e.g. insensitive definition of primitivism, mislabeling works and failure to verify if pieces on display had been acquired ethically—are just a few of the pitfalls Winking said she hopes to avoid in her own work at the Stedelijk Museum, tentatively titled The Primitive in Us. In a presentation she delivered July 24 at Ming Studios, Winking described her own interest in the intersection of the modern and the so-called primitive as a fascination with how the representational, ceremonial and tribal aspects of native artworks inform contemporary artists. She cited the work of artists like Richard Long and Kerry James Marshall, and anthropologists James Clifford and Stanley Diamond—who defined primitive as pre- or a-literate—as a guiding influence. Winking’s view is that contemporary art is an extension of an artistic heritage dating back tens of thousands of years, and attempts to separate the two are misguided. “The primitive is inextricably linked to civilization. Civilization tries to subvert the primitive, but it fails,” Winking said. Her presentation, for all its rounded edges, was still controversial. Some in the audience noted that modern art’s fascination with ancient or native works has resulted in the theft, destruction and cultural appropriation of thousands of pieces. Others took offense at Winking’s terminology. She noted that though it may be impossible to fully right the wrongs of colonialism, the conversation about contemporary art’s connection with the past is too productive to abandon. When one audience member said she “had a real problem with the word ‘primitive,’” worrying that its use is politically incorrect, Winking’s response was curt. “So, you can have this problem,” Winking said.

It shouldn’t work: music comprised of piano, trumpet and chunking guitar riffs; songs with lyrics like, “That’s the biggest black ass I’ve ever seen / and I like it / I like it”; an imperious album title such as The Church of Rock and Roll (EMI, 2012); a name that sounds like it was made up by a fifth-grader in 1975; and for new release Gonzo (self-released, 2014), an album cover depicting what appear to be hairy butts, fortune cookies or testicles. All together, it reads like the ingredients for a novelty act that would burn bright like flash paper—and burn out just as fast. Foxy Shazam is no novelty, though the Cincinnati-based band is definitely novel in the best sense of the word. Comparisons to Queen and Meatloaf are not unwarranted: Like those other bands, Foxy Shazam’s music is undeniably rock and its theatrical approach to the music is a big part of its charm.

GALACTIC, AUG. 13, KNITTING FACTORY To suggest funk music is enjoying a rebirth would be to imply it had ever lain dormant. Elements of funk can still be found in contemporary music: listen to Black Joe Lewis’ latest release or almost anything from Usher. Though it may not be as prevalent as it once was, there are still bands putting a funky backbeat on everything they do, like Galactic, a collective of New Orleanians that can turn a party into a carnival—or Carnivale, as in the case of Galactic’s 2012 release Carnivale Electricos (ANTI Records). In the two decades since the band formed, Galactic’s music evolved, incorporating jazz, hip-hop, soul, blues and more, all while staying true to its roots. What the band hadn’t done was make a carnival album, a rite of passage for many New Orleans musicians. Galactica put every bit of itself and its home into Carnivale Electricos (Anti Records), a celebration of the Crescent City and, as the band states on its website, “a cross-section of what’s happening in contemporary New Orleans.” Prepare to get your carnival on. —Amy Atkins With Bradlee Baxter, 8 p.m., $22.50-$35.

WINESIPPER/DRINK WINE TO BEAT THE HEAT

2012 ARREGI GETARIAKO TXAKOLINA, $18.99 This wine is made from the hondarribi zuri grape variety from the Basque country on the northeast coast of Spain. There’s a bit of spritz when it’s first poured and the aromas are on the light side, centering on a core of ripe lemon and lime with touches of mineral and clover. Things amp up on the palate, which is a mix of bright citrus, blood orange, stone fruit and spring greens. 2013 AVELEDA VINHO VERDE, $8.99 A blend of loureiro, trajadura and arinto grapes from the northwest corner of Portugal, this wine’s bubbles are light but persistent and the aromas soft but intriguing. They bring to mind a Harry Nilsson song—you get soft lime with a touch of coconut. The flavors are smooth and creamy with bright, sweet citrus, peach and melon. A hint of ocean brine comes through on the finish.

If it weren’t for Boise burger landmark Big Jud’s across the street, I’d have sworn I was somewhere south of the border. That feeling was only magnified once lunch was served.

We’re in the midst of the dog days of summer when the days are over 90 degrees, and the nights don’t provide much relief. The beverage of choice should probably be ice tea or a light beer, but if you prefer wine, you’ll want to keep it crisp, dry and lively. Low alcohol is a plus—as is high acidity—and a bit of fizz never hurts. Two wines immediately come to mind: Portugal’s vinho verde (literally “green wine”) and Spain’s txakoli (pronounced something like “chawk-o-lee). Here are the panel’s top three picks:

TWO WHEELS

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t just be smart and articulate, Aries. Dare to be wildly wise and prone to unruly observations. Don’t merely be kind and wellbehaved. Explore the mysteries of healing through benevolent mischief. Don’t buy into the alltoo-serious trances. Break up the monotony with your unpredictable play and funny curiosity. Don’t simply go along with the stories everyone seems to believe in as if they were the Truth and the Way. Question every assumption; rebel against every foregone conclusion; propose amusing plot twists that send the narratives off on interesting tangents. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Breve orazione penetra is an old Italian idiom. Its literal translation is “short prayers pierce.” You can extrapolate from that to come up with the meaning that “God listens best to brief prayers.” In the coming week, I invite you to apply this idea whenever you ask for anything, whether you are seeking the favors of the Divine Wow or the help of human beings. Know exactly what you want, and express it succinctly.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Every February, you go through a phase when it’s easier to see the big picture of your life. If you take advantage of this invitation, your experience is like being on a mountaintop and gazing into the vastness. Every August, on the other hand, you are more likely to see the details you have been missing. Transformations that have been too subtle to notice may become visible to you. If you capitalize on this opportunity, the experience is like peering through a microscope. Here’s a third variation, Gemini: Around the full moons of both February and August, you may be able to both peer into the microscope and simulate the view from a mountaintop. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You wouldn’t sip dirty water from a golden chalice. Am I right? Nor would you swig delicious poison from a fine crystal wine glass. I’m sure you will agree that you’d much rather drink a magical elixir from a paper cup, or a rejuvenating tonic from a chipped coffee mug, or tasty medicine out of a kids’ plastic soup bowl you bought at the thrift store. Don’t you dare lie to yourself about what’s best for you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Every 12 years, the planet Jupiter spends about a year cruising through the sign of Leo. It’s there with you now, and will be with you through early August 2015. What can you expect? EXPANSION! That’s great, right? Yes and no. You might love to have some parts of your life expand; others, not so much. So I suggest you write down your

intentions. Say something like this: “I want Jupiter to help me expand my faith in myself, my power to do what I love, and my ability to draw on the resources and allies I need. Meanwhile, I will prune my desires for things I don’t really need and cut back on my involvement with things that don’t inspire me. I don’t want those to expand.” VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): TV comedian Stephen Colbert confesses that his safeword is “pumpkin patch.” Does that mean he participates in BDSM rituals? Is it the code word he utters when he doesn’t want the intensity to rise any further, when he doesn’t want his next boundary crossed? I don’t know. Perhaps he’s simply speaking metaphorically. Whether or not you engage in literal BDSM, Virgo, there’s an aspect of your life right now that has metaphorical resemblances to it. And I suggest that you do the equivalent of using your safeword very soon. Nothing more can be gained from remaining embroiled in your predicament. Even if the ordeal has been interesting or educational up until now, it won’t be for much longer. Escape your bondage. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you’re planning to hurl a thunderbolt, make sure you are all warmed up and at full strength before you actually unleash it. It would be sad if you flung a halfassed thunderbolt that looked like a few fireflies and sounded like a cooing dove. And please don’t interpret my wise-guy tone here as a sign that I’m just kidding around. No, Libra. This is serious stuff. Life is offering you opportunities to make a major impression, and I want you to be as big and forceful and wild as you need to be. Don’t tamp down your energy out of fear of hurting people’s feelings. Access your inner sky god or sky goddess, and have too much fun expressing your raw power. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In your dreams you may travel to Stockholm, Sweden, to accept the Nobel Prize or to Hollywood to pick up your Oscar. There’s a decent chance that in your sleepy-time adventures you will finally score with the hot babe who rejected you back in high school, or return to the scene of your biggest mistake and do things right this time. I wouldn’t be surprised if in one dream you find yourself riding in a gold chariot during a parade held in your honor. I’m afraid, however, that you will have to settle for less hoopla and glamour in your waking life. You will merely be doing a fantastic job at tasks you usually perform competently. You will be well-appreciated, welltreated and well-rewarded. That’s not so bad, right?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Lake Superior State University issues a “Unicorn Questing Privilege” to those people who are interested in hunting for unicorns. Are you one of them? I wouldn’t be surprised if you felt an urge like that in the coming weeks. Unusual yearnings will be welling up in you. Exotic fantasies may replace your habitual daydreams. Certain possibilities you have considered to be unthinkable or unattainable may begin to seem feasible. Questions you have been too timid to ask could become crucial for you to entertain. (You can get your Unicorn Questing License here: http://tinyurl.com/unicornlicense.) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your ethical code may soon be tested. What will you do if you see a chance to get away with a minor sin or petty crime that no one will ever find out about? What if you are tempted to lie or cheat or deceive in ways that advance your good intentions and only hurt other people a little bit or not at all? I’m not here to tell you what to do, but rather to suggest that you be honest with yourself about what’s really at stake. Even if you escape punishment for a lapse, you might nevertheless inflict a wound on your integrity that would taint your relationship with your own creativity. Contemplate the pleasures of purity and righteousness, and use them to enhance your power. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “The thorn arms the roses,” says an old Latin motto. The astrological omens suggest you’ll be wise to muse on that advice in the coming weeks. How should you interpret it? I’ll leave you to draw your own conclusions, of course, but here are a few hints. It may be that beauty needs protection, or at least buffering. It’s possible that you can’t simply depend on your sincerity and good intentions, but also need to infuse some ferocity into your efforts. In order for soft, fragile, lovely things to do what they do best, they may require the assistance of tough, strong, hearty allies. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you go to an American doctor to be treated for an ailment, odds are that he or she will interrupt you no more than 14 seconds into your description of what’s wrong. But you must not tolerate this kind of disrespect in the coming days, Pisces—not from doctors, not from anyone. You simply must request or, if necessary, demand the receptivity you deserve. If and when it’s given, I urge you to speak your truth in its entirety. Express what has been hidden and suppressed. And this is very important: Take responsibility for your own role in any problems you discuss.
