SNOW, SHORT FICTION AND ELECTION TALK Since reporters are mostly cave dwellers—almost 15 years working in newsrooms and I’ve never had a window—we gauge the seasons based on what feature, special edition or supplemental publication we’re working on. There must be snow on the Foothills, because this week’s feature story looks at the economic, and increasingly environmental, challenges facing area ski resorts.

Boise Weekly staff writer -essica 0urri proÀles %rundage 0ountain 5esort, %ogus %asin 0ountain 5ecreation $rea and Tamarack Resort, which is returning to life after the better part of a decade in suspended animation. :hat she Ànds is that while all ski areas have to contend with the same basic problems, not all approach them in the same way. Find Murri’s snow-themed analysis on Page 13.

In another indication of the season, it’s Fiction 101 time again.

Here are the rules: Each entry must contain exactly 101 words (not including the title), as determined by Microsoft Word. No poetry. No handwritten entries. $10 entry fee per story. Put your name, address and phone number on the back of each entry. BW staff and freelancers are not eligible to enter. $ll entries due at BWHQ by 5 p.m., Friday, Dec. 5. Cash prizes for winning entries. BW will publish the winning stories in our Jan. 7, 2015, edition. Mail or drop off entry and fee to Boise Weekly, Fiction 101, 523 %road St., %oise.

Do not send cash via snail mail.

If you’re not into the whole brevity thing, don’t waste your time, money or words—this one’s for the strong silent types.

Finally, as if we needed further proof that it’s early November, it’s time to talk election results at the Post-Midterm Election %reakdown panel discussion hosted by The Blue Review at %oise State 8niversity’s downtown location (301 S. Capitol %lvd.). *et analysis, philosophizing and probably a few cheap shots from %oise State political science professor Justin 9aughn, BW News Editor *eorge Prentice and assorted other smart folk. The event is free and goes down Monday, Nov. 10, at 6 p.m.

OPINION RITUALS OF THE FALL Keeping the lid on a supervolcano JOHN REMBER For my last Àve birthdays, Julie and I have toured Yellowstone National Park and stayed at Chico Hot Springs Resort, halfway between the park and /ivingston, Mont. Chico’s pools and lodge date from 1 7.

We usually stay in the old building. We Ànd its creaking à oors, thin walls and down-the-hall bathrooms more comfortable and homier than the Tuieter, larger accommodations available in the newer wings. We eat dinner in Chico’s famous dining room, splitting a salad, an entrpe and a bottle of wine. That combination is enough to send us lurching up the stairs by o’clock, where we sleep the sleep of the Must—or the sated—until it’s time for a morning hot-water soak followed by a stint at the breakfast buffet, followed by a sluggish trudge to the small lake on the hill behind the lodge, followed by curling up with a big book—Dickens or Dostoyevsky, lately—on a couch in the lobby, followed by an afternoon nap, another soak in the pool and dinner once again.

We used to combine this routine with salt-scrub massages, but every time Julie and I showed up at the Chico Day Spa, Julie would be ushered into her room by a kindly, happy young masseuse radiating Àrst-day-on-the-Mob enthusiasm. I began to think of these young women as Nurse Barbies, only bigger, better proportioned and able to converse on a variety of subMects.

My own masseuses weren’t like that—they were closer to my age, dour, taciturn, unenthusiastic about my birthday or anyone’s, and perfectly proportioned to beat hell out of me. The only time I saw them smile was when I was in pain.

Finally I told Julie I’d rather stay for another day at Chico rather than have a birthday massage.

This year we stayed for three days and nights, and on our last night watched the beginning of the World Series in the bar before dinner, ate another phenomenal meal and spent four or Àve more hours bobbing about on pool à oats in 100-degree water. We mostly read in our room, as people also supposedly on vacation, some of them lawyers, were doing business on their iPhones in the lobby, making reading Bleak House a matter of ignoring more contemporary litigation.

This year I didn’t read as much as usual.

Instead, I spent more time in the pool, watching people, amazed at how humans have come to have such a wide variety of shapes and sizes. The people swimming in Chico’s pools come from many countries, birth dates, economic circumstances and occupations. You can ponder nature and nurture at Chico, but you won’t end up favoring one over the other. You’ll end up with a deep appreciation for their teamwork, however.

I wasn’t the only old guy celebrating his birth6 | NOVEMBER 5–11, 2014 | BOISEweekly

day. There were 10 or so of us Ă oating around the pool and wandering about the hotel lobby, accompanied by gently solicitous wives or girlfriends. Even though we, too, came in all shapes and sizes, I realized that to the people who work at Chico, we were all probably less individual and more stereotype than we thought we were.

I decided that my experiences in the Day Spa were encounters with an unmarked tourist hazard: if you sign up for a preprogrammed experience, your identity is created by the people who have gone before you. Some of my fellow old guys must have remembered other massages in Bangkok or /as Vegas. I’ve never had a massage in those places, but some of them must have, and some of those must have ended up at the Chico Day Spa on their birthdays, and a subset of those might have behaved badly. That’s why I never got a Nurse Barbie as my masseuse. Instead, I got Sturmkommandant Helga, late of the East *erman Olympic swim team, who must have seen me as an Old *uy .en Doll, one of those privileged, arrogant, unselfconscious Merks who deserved to be rubbed bloody with rock salt.

It’s not far from these thoughts to a dismal understanding that the tourist industry creates stereotyped human beings as a waste product.

From the industry’s standpoint, tourists need to be ushered through an experience as efĂ€ciently as possible. People who insist on being seen as individuals impede the process. Most of us have been in tour groups with a person who insisted on being a uniTue human being, and most of us have seen how difĂ€cult that person can be. “/ook at me,â€? says the difĂ€cult tourist (in subtext). “I’m not like these others. I can ask the unanticipated, off-the-wall Tuestion. I can point out the detail that contradicts your so-called lecture. I can tell you what we call these things in Texas. I’m a real person.â€? “No you’re not,â€? says the tour guide (in subtext). “You’re a pain in the ass.â€?

Julie and I have turned my birthday into a ritual, walking the trails and boardwalks of Yellowstone, visiting Old Faithful, the Artists’ Paint Pots, Mammoth Hot Springs, Norris *eyser Basin, Yellowstone Falls, making sure they’ve remained as we remember them. We’ve ritualized and capitalized the people we’ve met, too, turning them into Park Rangers, Children of Chinese Billionaires, Saudi Arabian Wives (the burkas are a tip-off), Old *uys On Their Birthdays, Nurse Barbies, Sturmkommandanten. It’s a way of introducing predictability to an uncertain world, a way to dance on the thin crust covering a lake of molten magma, and come away almost sure that the sun will rise again, on other birthdays.

TILL DEATH DID THEY PART

Homeless men, women and children congregate under the Americana Blvd. overpass each day.

BOISE HOMELESS ON EDGE AFTER AMERICANA HOMICIDE When Rusty Bitton’s body was discovered under the I-84 Connector bridge on Americana Boulevard Oct. 28, Boise police detectives found the 37-year-old had died from blunt force trauma to the head. Based on reports from witnesses, 24-year-old Scotty Turnbull was identified as the suspected assailant and taken into custody soon thereafter. While he has yet to be formally charged, prosecutors accused him of two other attacks—on a man and woman—shortly before the beating that left Bitton dead. Prosecutors say their investigation is continuing, but Turnbull is being held on $1 million bond in connection with the other two attacks.

The chaos has calmed in the days following the violence, but life under the bridge has been tense for the dozens of homeless men and women who claimed their spots on Americana throughout the summer and into the fall.

“Momma” Karen Shay says she “sees it all.” Wearing a sweatshirt and wrapped in blankets and sleeping bags, Shay told Boise Weekly that she knew Turnbull, his ex-girlfriend and Bitton.

“The whole atmosphere around here since the weather changed has been sketchy,” Shay said. “Everybody’s been on edge. As soon as the weather started changing, all kinds of crap started happening. There were at least three guys I know of that ended up with black eyes.

And then this. What the hell is going on?”

Nearby, a dozen other people were sitting among piles of blankets, sharing cans of PBR. Just a few feet away was a makeshift memorial with bouquets, a candle, a cigarette butt and a puddle of spilled milk.

One man stopped on his bike to look at the flowers.

“I knew Rusty,” the man, identified only as “Reaper,” told BW. “He was more like a brother than a friend.”

Reaper’s friends call him that because he builds “killer bikes,” and Bitton was his business partner. Reaper said Bitton used to tune up his rims and never charged more than a cigarette or a couple of bucks. Reaper added that he was trying to get Bitton to stop drinking. He pulled a bike key out of his pocket.

“He was the last one to use it,” Reaper said. “I haven’t used it since.”

Reaper agreed with Shay that things have been edgy in the camp under the 10 bridge since Bitton’s death. He added 8 | NOVEMBER 5–11, 2014 | BOISEweekly

Idaho veteran’s same-sex wife is honored, remembered and interred in history-making ceremony at Idaho State Veterans Cemetery GEORGE PRENTICE Pastor Renee McCall walked over to the small wooden box holding the ashes of Jean Mixner and placed her hand on the sacred container, just above a cross.

“And now, we commit our sister, Jean, to a Ànal resting place where she will wait for thee,” McCall said, just loud enough for Madelynn Taylor to hear. “Blessed is she who died in the Christ: for now on, she will rest from her labors, she will rest from her deeds.”

A few hundred feet away, an American Áag Áapped in a steady breeze, set against a perfect blanket of blue sky. The ashes of Jean Mixner had Ànally come home to rest among the brave men and women interred at the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery. It is there that she’ll wait for Taylor, her wife, who is a U.S. Navy veteran.

“Jean was«” Taylor needed a moment to think. “Well, Jean was a lady,” she told Boise Weekly earlier this year (BW, News, “Malice Toward None, Charity for All,” June 23, 2014).

It was that Àrst report, when we called Taylor’s Àght to be interred with her spouse at the cemetery perhaps “the most egregious example of LGBT discrimination by the state of Idaho,” that spurred national attention and a formal legal challenge. Months later, in the wake of landmark federal rulings that struck down Idaho’s ban of same-sex marriages as unconstitutional, Taylor returned to the cemetery Oct. 28—this time with Jean’s ashes for a formal burial ceremony.

It was St. Patrick’s Day 1995 when Taylor met Mixner on a blind date in Kansas City, Mo. They sat up all night with friends, playing trivia, and met for breakfast the next morning.

They were a couple from then on. They were married twice: in a Boardman, Ore., church and again at a San Bernardino, Calif., county courthouse.

“Jean had a corsage and I had a boutonniere,” Taylor recalled.

Her voice softened. “And then she got sick.”

A wooden box, holding the ashes of Jean Mixner, was placed next to a photo of Mixner (left) and Madelynn Taylor (right) at Mixner’s Oct. 28 interment at the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery.

They spent the better part of their years in Idaho, but while in Arizona, Jean’s severe emphysema took a turn when it devoured her lungs. On April 19, 2012, Taylor woke to Ànd that Mixner had wandered from their home and laid down to die in a Áower bed on a neighbor’s lawn. Jean’s ashes were never far from Taylor—they were kept in the wooden box until it made its way to the Idaho Veterans Cemetery on Oct. 28.

“Today, we come to mourn and honor Jean Mixner and set her spirit free,” said McCall.

“I knew Jean. I can still hear her voice; I can still hear her laughter. She was soft, gentle and spoke quietly. Jean was a very peaceful, loving human being. And with that, I believe that this explains how Jean would feel: ‘My peace, I give to you.’”

McCall led the small gathering in the song “For Those Tears I Died”: “And Jesus said, ‘Come to the water. Stand by my side. I know you are thirsty. You won’t be denied.”

When McCall asked Taylor to stand and say a few words about her wife, Taylor embodied melancholy. She repeated what she had told BW before.

“When I Àrst met Jean, my Àrst impression was, ‘This is a lady. She won’t have anything to do with me,’” said Taylor.

Of course that wasn’t true. Taylor told us previously that it was indeed love at Àrst sight.

“She was a lady. She was gracious all the time. I don’t know what else to tell you other than she was a lovely person,” Taylor said.

Then she paused, taking another moment to

Ànish her Ànal thoughts.

“Right up to the end.”

As the brief ceremony ended, BW spotted Deborah Ferguson and Craig Durham, the Boise-based attorneys who joined the National Center for Lesbian Rights to represent Taylor in her lawsuit seeking civil rights protections under the U.S. Constitution (BW, News, “Enough is Enough,” July 9, 2014).

“This is deeply satisfying,” Ferguson told BW. “It’s a beautiful day and wonderful to see this come to fruition. It’s an important day for Madelynn.”

Ferguson also successfully argued before U.S. District Judge Candy Dale and a panel of justices with the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, all of whom ruled that Idaho’s ban of same-sex marriage had relegated select Idaho citizens to a “stigmatized, second-class status” (BW, Citydesk, “Historic Ruling,” May 13, 2014).

A series of election-season maneuvers by Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter to thwart the decisions ultimately failed, thus allowing Taylor to return to the cemetery and apply for interment for herself and spouse.

“I feel truly honored to have had the opportunity to represent her with my colleagues,” said Ferguson. “I greatly admire her tenacity and spirit. She’s just a very smart, lovely person.”

McCall’s parting words for the gathering pleaded with them to be positive.

“Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is true, whatever is right, whatever is pure… if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about those things,” she said.

A makeshift memorial marks the scene where Rusty Bitton was killed.

that he’s a peacekeeper and tries to step in whenever a fight breaks out.

“I just walk in between them, tell one to go one way and one to go the other way and if he wants to get punky with me, I just put him in his place and he goes his way,” Reaper said.

He wasn’t there the night his friend was beaten to death.

“If I was here, it wouldn’t have happened,” he said.

Shay said she’s watched police investigate the homicide, but she’s been less than impressed with their efforts.

“They’ve been around,” she said. “Investigating, gathering evidence. But they seem to be going really slow. They were asking [Prime Cuts Butcher Shop] across the street to see their film footage. You think they’d have asked for that days ago. I see them, they are dragging their feet. They’re lackadaisical about it, they really are.”

Boise Police Department spokeswoman Lynn Hightower said the investigation is still ongoing, and doesn’t know how long it will last.

“In cases like this, where an individual has lost a life, it’ll take as long as it takes,” she said.

Rumors have circulated regarding the whereabouts of Turnbull’s former girlfriend.

Some say she’s been released, but others argue she’s still in the hospital. She was admitted to a local hospital—Hightower could not confirm which one—the night of Oct. 27 with a fractured skull after Turnbull allegedly attacked her.

Shay said Turnbull was released from prison only a few months ago. His criminal record includes aggravated battery in 2003, arson in 2004 and aggravated assault in 2005. Most recently, he was in prison on drug charges.

Shay also expressed frustration over interactions with the police, who she said are constantly hassling her to move and busting her and her friends for littering or smoking in Rhodes Park, where she said skater kids smoke more than anybody under the bridge.

A few nights ago, Shay said people sleeping under the bridge were mugged by strangers who took their food stamp cards. “[The police are] always cruising around here, and we’re always getting pinpointed, you know?” she said. “Well, where are you guys when we need you? They’re not there.”

Vista neighborhood planners brainstorm on a bus GEORGE PRENTICE

Perhaps more Boise planning and development meetings should be held aboard a school bus. As soon as the bus trip—which curled through the streets of Boise’s Vista neighborhood—had concluded, the riders, representing nearly every city of Boise department and agency, began buzzing. The wheels of the bus hadn’t even stopped turning before the occupants turned to one another to begin brainstorming.

“Do you know what I think Vista really needs?” was an often-heard conversation-starter as soon as the bus came to a stop. Some of the riders thought the Vista neighborhood could use more sidewalks; others thought another small park might help; still others saw a need to access affordable home improvement loans; and yes, one or two even talked about an ice cream stand.

Earlier this year, Boise Weekly reported on the Energize our Neighborhoods project, which solicited neighborhood-inspired ideas to improve livability. City leaders went elbow-to-elbow with citizens to talk about jobs, parks, transportation, health care, crime and sustainability.

Among the takeaways from the Àrst community meeting in early summer was an idea about an ice cream shop (BW, Annual Manual, “One Scoop At a Time,” Aug. 6, 2014), representing not only a viable business entity but a cultural touchstone to share common space (and some ice cream).

City ofÀcials walked away from that meeting with a list of suggestions from Vista residents, who were all-too-eager to share their wishes for a better neighborhood. But instead of huddling in City Hall conference rooms, department heads returned to Vista in late October to hop aboard a white school bus and do some fact Ànding.

Sue Pisani was more than willing to be their tour guide. Pisani, the former president of the Vista Neighborhood Association, is anything but shy; when city leaders asked her opinion about a particular property as they rolled by, she didn’t hesitate to speak her mind.

“Yes, that’s a problem house, and there’s another one,” said Pisani more than once, pointing to neglected or forgotten properties. Boise ofÀcials later told BW that they were anxious to beef up code enforcement on trouble- or ab-

The median age of Vista neighborhood residents is 32; the median household income is $34,551; and the assessed single-family home value is $99,850.

sentee landlords as a “stick,” while encouraging other homeowners with a “carrot” by steering them toward affordable home improvement programs.

For more than an hour, Pisani acted as the colorful—but blunt—tour guide of the neighborhood, but she was always ready to add a healthy dose of optimism.

“I’m proud to say that over the years, the neighborhood association has brought in about $1.3 million in direct and in-kind donations: bus shelters, historical street lights along Vista, speed bumps, sidewalks, curbs and gutters,” she said. “But yes, we could use your help. We have a lot of ideas.”

More sidewalks may be the Àrst order of business for Vista. Throughout the tour, it became clear that too many streets in the neighborhood were absent sidewalks, allowing weeds and debris to proliferate instead of pedestrians.

“We love to walk our streets. And trafÀc is always a big issue with residents; so some more stop signs on Nez Perce and Shoshone >streets@ would be nice,” said Pisani.

As the bus made dozens of tight turns onto Vista’s narrow roads, Pisani pinpointed several issues—big and small—that are commonplace to most Boise neighborhoods: safer streets, home improvement, more cultural opportunities, recreation for the children and sensible transportation options for adults.

On this particular afternoon, Pisani had the full attention of the men and women who could help orchestrate signiÀcant change to the Vista neighborhood sooner than later.

Boise Councilman Ben Quintana sat just a few feet from Pisani.

“The Àrst word that popped into my head

was ‘opportunity,’” said Quintana. “Let me add a couple more words: ‘Plenty of opportunity.’

I see so many projects here, big and small. I’m certain that this Vista neighborhood project is going to get some traction.”

Quintana conÀrmed that the project had “100 percent commitment from the Council; and we’re pulling in department heads from across the city to take advantage of this opportunity. We want this to be a model that we can customize and take to neighborhoods across Boise. This is a big focus for us right now.”

The demographics of the Vista neighborhood—which is framed by Overland Road to the north, the New York Canal to the south, Federal Way to the east and Roosevelt Street to the west—paint a very speciÀc picture of a working-class neighborhood. Residents are younger (median age is 32), but live in older homes (61 percent were built before 1979) and a good number of them rent (47 percent).

“But I think two particular categories jump out of those statistics,” said AnaMarie Guiles, Boise Housing and Community Development manager and chief architect of the Energize Our Neighborhoods program. “The assessed single-family home value in Vista is $99,850; that’s about half of the citywide average. It’s also important to note that 68 percent of the students at Hawthorne Elementary and 85 percent of the students at Whitney Elementary are eligible for a free- or reduced lunch.

“The need here is rather compelling,” she added. “I think there’s great opportunity to make some signiÀcant change.”

And the wheels of that change have begun turning with the wheels of a school bus.

CITIZEN Were they insistent on you going to college?

There was trust among the three of us that allowed me to ask questions even when they couldn’t fully answer. As I got older and went to university, I had a lot more questions and we found ourselves in different places in regards to race. But it never stopped us from having those tough discussions; they were embraced by love and respect.

JEREMY LANNINGHAM

C. WELTON GADDY Faith, hope and clarity GEORGE PRENTICE The Rev. Dr. C. Welton Gaddy likes to say that he was born in Paris. That would be Paris, Tenn. The president of the National Interfaith Alliance hardly shows any indication of his 73 years (he just celebrated a birthday on Oct. 10, but insists that he’ll be slowing down at the end of this year when he retires as one of the nation’s most celebrated, and controversial, freedom Àghters.

The far-right NewsBusters website calls Gaddy a “pious fraud” for his adamant arguments for gun-control and against undeclared wars. More often, Gaddy is recognized as a champion of hate-crimes legislation and efforts to keep religion out of public classrooms. He’s an author of more than 20 books addressing religion in American life and served in numerous leadership roles in the Southern Baptist Convention before its takeover by fundamentalists in the 1980s.

Boise Weekly sat down with Gaddy during a rare visit to Idaho to talk about his advocacy; his memories of the late Pam Baldwin, past executive director of Interfaith Alliance of Idaho; and his focus on LGBT rights, which he considers the civil rights Àght of our times.

Tell me about Paris, Tenn.

It was a typical Southern town, with Southern values and Southern merits but Southern prejudices.

And your family?

My sister died early so I was an only child.

We went to a fundamentalist Christian Southern Baptist church. My mother’s education was very limited; my father had some education but no college.

12 | NOVEMBER 5–11, 2014 | BOISEweekly

Did you grow up in and around segregation?

We lived in the wrong part of town—the lower-income part of town. At the back of where we lived were black families and I played with those kids as my friends.

Did you go to school with them?

No. There was never a black person in any of my classes even though I was in high school.

I remember asking my dad what was different about black schools; and he insisted that black schools were just like white schools. It wasn’t true. They never had the same books, classrooms or resources. I have a very speciÀc memory of Brown v. Board of Education [the landmark 1954 U.S. Supreme Court ruling, which ruled separate public schools for black and white students to be unconstitutional]. I remember hearing adults around me say, “If our government forces this upon us, we’re going to see blood in the streets of the South.”

Do you remember the events that led you to the truth about what unites us versus what divides us?

It’s when I got to college. Honestly, what started my own dramatic change was my study of the Bible. I know that sounds pious, but I had amazing professors who helped us interpret the New Testament to learn that there was no question whatsoever that racism was evil and inconsistent with Christianity.

How did you reconcile all of that when you returned home?

When I was in university, there were reinforcements for me. But my parents had no reinforcements when they tried to consider change. Their church was racist. Their friends and families were racist. And if my parents ever said anything to indicate that they might be prointegration, they were shut down.

Pardon my naivete, but help me out with how a church can be racist at its core.

The same thing was true with slavery and it appears that the same thing is true with LGBT rights: People go to the Bible with minds already made up about what it supposedly says. They see just enough in the text to support their point of view and say, “This is the word of God.”

Aren’t some faith leaders maintaining that ignorance?

Fundamentalist conservatives are so hard on the historical, critical method of interpreting the Bible, and they’re routinely against the education of ministers.

Let’s talk a bit about Idaho’s struggle to codify protections for its LGBT community.

My Àrst message to the LGBT community is an apology for a church that has been part of such hatred. For one reason or another, none of them valid, churches have told them that they’re less in dignity or worth. I know scores of people who have been so hurt that I wouldn’t blame them if they never set foot in a church again. The second part of my message is that historically, we have to change the law before we can change the heart. That was also true in the civil rights movement.

To those of us who witnessed the civil rights era, this feels very familiar.

That’s why homophobic activists don’t want you to align the civil rights movement with the struggle for LGBT rights. If you remember, civil rights laws didn’t get rid of racism but people needed to obey the law and caused people to take their racism to beneath the surface of social credibility.

I know you were good friends with Pam Baldwin [the Idaho human rights leader and executive director of the Interfaith Alliance for Idaho died at the age of 66 due to complications from pneumonia in October 2013].

She was tireless… a terriÀc organizer and activist. She was a person of conviction and courage and a model that we may never be able to duplicate. Her absence is tangible. I came here to Idaho to tell her board, “You’re not going to replace Pam. You have to Ànd different people with different specialites. Pam had a lot of those specialties. But now, you have to have board members that have each of them. The worst thing in the world would be if you said you can’t do things without her.” Pam Baldwin was a heroine to me.

And how about you? At 73, I must say that you appear to be fresh as a daisy.

You caught me on a good day. I spend my weeks at the Interfaith Alliance headquarters in Washington, D.C. I travel to Monroe, La., on Fridays to do a full worship service each weekend at Northminster Baptist Church, and then I’m back in D.C. on Monday. I’ve been doing that schedule for 16 years. I’m retiring at the end of this year to spend more time with the kids and grandkids. They haven’t seen a lot of me up until now, but they will soon.

A TALE OF THREE SKI RESORTS

How Brundage, Bogus and Tamarack are preparing for the upcoming ski season

BY JESSICA MURRI

E

very year, Craig Brewer plugs in the string of Christmas lights that hang on his small house next to the Simplot Lodge at Bogus Basin Mountain Recreation Area. As the tradition goes, plug in the lights and it will snow.

Trouble is, they keep going out.

“The Christmas lights aren’t working so well anymore,” said Brewer, longtime slope manager for Bogus Basin.

After three years of lower-than-average snowfall at Bogus, the mountain’s struggles are clear.

Still, Brewer is going to give the lights another try this season.

Two other Southwest Idaho ski resorts are also gearing up for the 2014-2015 ski season— each in different situations that highlight the challenges facing ski areas around the country.

While Bogus employees have wrung their hands in anticipation of snow, Tamarack Resort,

BOI S EW EEKLY.COM

in Donnelly, has clung to survival through a different sort of drought. After six years in foreclosure, the resort has reopened under new management, hoping to leave a troubled past behind. Brundage Mountain Resort outside of McCall, however, has continued to see snowfall, increased visitorship and expansion.

Each faces a string of similar hurdles: climate change has reduced snowfall at low-elevation ski resorts nationwide, and the recession hasn’t been kind to many mom-and-pop ski areas. The twin threats of warmer winters and hard economics have left resorts striving to diversify operations to include summer activities like zip lines and investing in technology to support an industry that can’t make snow fast enough.

According to the Kottke National End of Season Survey of 2013-2014, released by the National Ski Areas Association, visits to ski re-

sorts across the country declined 0.7 percent last season—a 19.6 percent drop in the Northwest, speciÀcally. Out of 478 ski resorts in the country, eight closed down.

“Oh yeah, there’s a huge concern,” said David Byrd, director of risk management for Coloradobased NSAA. “A huge concern about climate change.”

Byrd said a congressman came to speak at the organization’s national convention last year about the “conservative case for climate action.” It’s not easy, he said, to convince an industry with a large number of conservative business owners to adopt efÀciency and sustainability practices.

“It’s a real challenge for us,” Byrd said.

Facing less-than-promising odds of snowfall and overhauled ownership, Southwest Idaho ski resorts have yet another season before them— and, like always, it could go either way.

THE WAY IT SHOULD BE For the past four years, Brundage Mountain Resort has been building. This season, the resort is unveiling a 3,200-square-foot expansion to the lodge, including 1,700 square feet of deck space; more space for the rental, tuning and retail shops; and a new ground-Áoor plaza for ticket sales and guest services.

The $500,000 project is a symbol of the resort’s health. Despite less-than-average snow years, visitation is on the rise. A lot of things are going right for the mountain.

Brundage Communications Director April Whitney said the expansion was made possible by two key factors: a loyal customer base and reliable snowfall.

“We’re family-owned by the descendants of

“People want to spend the end of their day in the sunshine having an apres drink, so that’s going to be really exciting for people,” she said.

Beyond the lodge expansion, the resort invested in two Pistenbully PB 400 snowcats for grooming the mountain, costing in the ballpark of $525,000 for the pair.

The Brundage rental shop is also offering Alpine Touring rental skis and skins for the Àrst time this season. Backcountry adventurers can pick up a pair of skis as early as 5 p.m. the day before they need them and return them by 10 a.m. a day later for $40. The skis will be equipped with Tyrolia Ambition AT bindings, but boots aren’t included in the package.

After that, skiers can set off to skin up the side of Brundage, or explore backcountry in

models of Tubbs snowshoes—$12 for half-day rental and $15 for a full day.

A few inches of snow have already settled on Brundage’s chairlifts, and Whitney has her Àngers crossed for an early December opening this year.

Building boom notwithstanding, Brundage has also suffered the poor ski seasons that have plagued Bogus and much of the Northwest.

However, Whitney said the mountain has weathered the weather better that some other resorts.

“We haven’t taken it as hard as Bogus has.

Last year wasn’t our best year, but we still had more than twice as much snow as Bogus,” Whitney said. “We’re behind several layers of mountain ranges, rather than having a warm valley really close to us. We didn’t have as much snowfall, but we had hardly any rain events and I think that’s what kills the other resorts. The rain.”

Some bad snow years in the Treasure Valley actually boosts Brundage’s business. Despite lower-than-average snowfall during the past few years, including a late opening Dec. 20, 2013, Brundage still had healthy visitorship, hovering between 120,000 and 130,000 skier visits per season. Whitney said skiers are willing to travel farther for good coverage and good snow.

“We are susceptible to the same trends,” she said, “but we’re not as vulnerable.”

VULNERABILITY

The new brush cutter at Bogus Basin means more skiing on less snow.

the man who created this place,” Whitney said.

“We’re self-sustaining and doing well.”

She said the lodge expansion is probably worth double what the resort spent on it, but because the man in charge of facility maintenance has some talent with general contracting, he’s done the bulk of the work managing the project.

“This guy isn’t a guy who just knows how to Àx a leak or manage snow shovelers and janitors in the winter,” Whitney said. “We have a lot of talent in-house that allows us to do things less expensively than if we got bids on contractors.”

She’s excited for the lodge expansion because it adds deck space on the side of the building where the sun hits in the afternoon.

Right now, most of the lodge’s deck falls into shadow by 3 p.m.

the surrounding areas. Whitney said it’s a good opportunity to team up with avalanche training organizations in the valley and recommends participants ski with beacons and shovels— though it isn’t required. Brundage set aside a beacon park at the base for people to practice rescues.

She also recommends skiers should check in with ski patrol before leaving the resort, but most of the nearby accessible terrain—like Sargent’s Peak—is moderate slope with low risk of avalanches.

A new mile-long snowshoeing trail will give visitors another, less intense option. The loop takes about an hour in snow and follows the base of the resort, winding around and showing off a full view of Granite Mountain. Brundage has stocked up on men, women and youth

According to Bogus Basin General Manager Alan Moore, “If you’re not an optimist, you can’t be in the ski business.”

“This one, it’s going to be a good one,” he told Boise Weekly, despite the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s recent winter outlook, which predicts slightly above average temperatures compared to last year, and drought conditions returning to portions of Idaho.

While the effects of climate change have hit the Treasure Valley—from near-snowless winters, to Canada geese overtaking city parks rather than traveling south for the winter, to a lower waterline in Lucky Peak Reservoir—Bogus has suffered the most.

Three years ago, the resort experienced the latest opening in its history: Jan. 17. Last year was better, with an opening of Dec. 9, but the season’s total snowfall never reached higher than 99 inches.

Moore is determined to keep Bogus an attractive destination—snow or no snow. St. Luke’s Humphreys Diabetes Center donated $35,000 to construct an amphitheater for summer concerts, and the mountain plans to host

live music every weekend of the ski season.

What’s more, plans are in the works to build an improved terrain park.

“We’re going to make Bogus more fun, even if there’s not as much snow,” Moore said.

Craig Brewer is Bogus Basin’s chief citizen.

He started working on the mountain in 1976, the winter he turned 18. His Àrst job was helping the mechanics with snowcats in the maintenance shop and he’s worked at Bogus every winter since.

Today, he’s the slope manager and, nearly 20 years ago, he moved into the only permanent house on the mountain. He lives year-round in a small, gray two-bedroom home neighboring the Simplot Lodge. It’s Bogus Basin, Population: 1.

Brewer started working at Bogus in the ’70s and never really left the mountain or the decade—he’s a hefty, pick-up-driving good ol’ boy in well-worn Carhartts who takes his time and draws out his words like he has nowhere better to be. The deck of his house is packed with lawn furniture, a barbecue and a smoker— DirecTV dish on the roof. He basks in the glow of his 55-inch TV screen and NFL channels every Sunday.

On any given weekday, he gets in an old Ford truck at the base of the mountain and drives straight up the muddy and bare ski run beneath the Morning Star chairlift, talking about Bogus Basin’s latest investment—a $123,000 brush cutter.

“If you have a poor year, it’s really important to have the brush gone,” Brewer said. “It makes a lot more skiing available a lot quicker. It means you need less of a base to ski the area.”

Cutting down brush twice as tall as Brewer is the difference between needing 18 inches of snow, and several feet. The brush cutter chews up logs and sprays them into the air as thousands of pieces. Mulched sticks and branches litter the sides of ski runs, making way for powder Àelds. It opened up 20 acres of offtrail terrain near the Bitterroot Chair, Superior, Showcase and underneath Pine Creek.

A lot of the brush can’t be cut by the machine, though, because the terrain that most people want to ski is too steep. That requires a hand crew armed with chainsaws. Brewer usually likes to have that crew of three to Àve working steadily throughout the summer, but this season they started only a few weeks ago.

“Obviously, after the last couple seasons, we’re not, like, rolling in the money,” Brewer said.

The challenge is, it takes a lot of time to clear the brush.

“Plus there’s maintaining the places where brush has been cut before last year or the year

before. You wouldn’t believe how fast that brush grows,” he said.

On a normal year, “or what used to be normal,” Brewer said, nature does the work for him. Wet, heavy snow falls on the brush and knocks it over. He said there hasn’t been a normal year in four years.

His outlook on this year: “I’ll tell ya’ when it’s over.”

Brewer has seen it all on the mountain.

He saw three detachable high-speed quads go in. He saw Bogus change the game when it dropped its season pass price to $199—making skiing a truly affordable family activity. He saw the crowds follow. He said he’s also seen a lot of good and bad years over his tenure.

“The year I started, ’76, was a horrible year.

There has been dry years in the ’80s, and then there’s been really good years. It changes all the time,” he said. “If anything, it seems like winter is getting started later and lasting a little longer in the spring. The law of averages says we’re gonna have a good one pretty soon, so…”

Brewer never married or had kids. He grew up grooming Bogus Basin’s runs in the dark, spending his nights in the heated cab alone, listening to tunes. Brewer said mountain operations used to be looser back in the day.

“When we started, it was all for the adrenaline rush,” he said. “We’d be going down that steep stuff out of control, not able to steer the cat. You’re just falling like a bobsled. That was scary as all get out. Upper Paradise, Lower Nugget, the steep shots on Wildcat. You’d get two or three feet of fresh snow and just take off.”

In those days, Brewer said he would slide down the mountain at 30 miles per hour along a row of trees. He called it a “fun” way to grow up. Now, of course, the free groomers stay off the steep stuff and winch cats handle that slowly and safely. Life on the mountain isn’t quite as freewheeling as it used to be.

He points to a cat track along the mountain’s face.

“Brewer’s Byway,” he said with a gruff laugh.

Living up there year-round, Brewer experi-

ences Bogus Basin at full capacity, with 600 seasonal employees and some 300,000 skiers and snowboarders every year—before dropping to a skeletal crew of 12 to 17 in the summer.

Brewer sees deer, elk, cougars, foxes, coyotes, grouse, hawks and bear. He notices pine trees plagued with mistletoe and infested with pine beetles. He can’t picture himself living in the valley anymore.

“I like living in the woods,” he said. “I often wonder how I would do down in the city with neighbors now. I’m so used to being able to crank the music or do what I want to do.”

He’s not left in peace for long, being the de facto groundskeeper for the resort after everyone else drives home. If the alarm in the rental shop goes off, he’s the one who traipses around in the dark and snow with a Áashlight, “looking for the boogieman,” he said. When someone forgets to lock the lodge, he gets the call to bring the key.

“You’ll have people call and say, ‘little Susie didn’t come home. Will you go see if her car

is out in the parking lot?’” he said. “And then to Ànd out that little Susie was out with little Johnny and never came up here at all. All kinds of stuff like that.”

His rent is free, but “oh, you pay rent for living here.”

He expects the mountain will open by the third week of December this year. While other low-elevation ski resorts around the country are investing in snowmaking, Bogus Basin doesn’t have the water resources to make that happen.

David Byrd, with the National Ski Areas Association, said resorts are relying on snowmaking to “supplement Mother Nature.” It allows resorts to open on time with considerable coverage. But the demand for water and energy in snowmaking is incredibly high, posing problems for resorts in California hit hard by the drought.

“They’re not relying so much on Mother Nature, but on snowmaking,” Byrd said. “That is, if they have access to the water.”

16 Without decent snowmaking capa-

bilities, Bogus is unprotected from the warming valley below—and sometimes bone dry clear into the winter months.

Brewer said he hopes for another few good snow years to get some money saved up again.

The resort has a wish list that includes expanding Simplot Lodge, replacing the Morning Star chairlift with a detachable quad, and redoing the rental shop and ski patrol base.

If it doesn’t get better, well, “I don’t know,” Brewer said. “I’ll have to tell you at the end of the story. We gotta Àgure out a way to start building the mountain up higher.”

BUILDING AGAIN

GEORGE PRENTICE

Tamarack Resort has the snow. Tamarack has the water for 300 acres of snowmaking, too.

The resort, a few miles southwest of Donnelly, started almost a decade ago as a grand vision to create a destination ski area. Intricate wrought

market crashed in 2008, Tamarack’s foundation crumbled and it faced bankruptcy and ultimately foreclosure. A bench-warrant still stands for the former owner, still-missing JeanPierre BoespÁug. When Tamarack couldn’t pay its builders, a handful of contractors went down with the resort.

Papiez calls this period the “second chapter” of Tamarack. It waded through foreclosure for the following six years, struggling to keep chairlifts from being repossessed and real estate liquidated from beneath its owners. The Tamarack Municipal Association, made up of homeowners in the area, were able to take over operations on a Thursday-Sunday basis.

The turmoil came to a close on March 10, when the resort was sold at a sheriff ’s auction to New TR Acquisition Co. LLC (NewTRAC).

NewTRAC is made up of a smaller pool of the original investors of Tamarack, including

iron lamp posts usher skiers into the resort village, on par with the luxury of Sun Valley, but with one inescapable difference: Most of the Village Plaza is still wrapped in Tyvek.

“It is obviously a very, very visible symbol of the resort,” said Tamarack spokesman David Papiez.

A brief history of the resort begins in 2004, when it became one of the Àrst new ski areas to be built from scratch in 25 years. It was built on the booming real estate market—with the help of a $250 million loan from Credit Suisse.

Portions of the debt were sold off to investors, with the plan of selling luxury condos to pay back the debt.

When the recession hit and the real estate

16 | NOVEMBER 5–11, 2014 | BOISEweekly

Credit Suisse—which bought the resort for $80 million—now acting as shareholders. The ownership group doesn’t own or operate anything other than Tamarack.

Papiez has been with Tamarack from the beginning, short of one season. He started teaching ski lessons at the resort right after graduating from the College of Idaho in 2004, and worked as a whitewater guide in the summers.

He watched his job evolve from operations to real estate marketing, then commercial development. Once the recession hit and the resort started to struggle, he became the asset manager for Tamarack Resort LLC, a position he held until this past March. Now he works

as the project manager for NewTRAC. He’s calling the days ahead a new era for Tamarack—paved with $1.2 million worth of improvements.

“The focus is really to grow the business organically, from an operational perspective Àrst,” Papiez said.

Tamarack will be open seven days a week this season, which hasn’t happened since the winter of 2008-2009. He said other improvements include upgrades to the snowmaking system, purchase of two new snow cats, new snowmobiles for the operating team, painting buildings and chairlifts, resurfacing some of the road, new point-of-sale software to streamline ticket sales, and new employee uniforms.

“Things were very fast and furious back in the early days of Tamarack,” Papiez said.

“Our new owners want to move forward, but in a very smart and conservative fashion.”

Expanding daily operations means hiring on 40-50 more people, though Papiez said the Tamarack Municipal Association will still partner in the operation of the resort, as well as the golf course in the summer.

They’ll have some help, though.

NewTRAC has enlisted a Àrm called Replay Resorts based in Vancouver, Canada, to serve as asset manager. It’ll provide oversight and guidance on both operations and real estate.

The Àrm is known for picking up distressed destination resorts and bringing them back to life in the post-recession world.

Replay Resorts has also worked with Sierra Star, a resort development near Mammoth Lakes, Calif., as well as Turtle Bay in Hawaii, Grand Bahama Island, Puerto Los Cabos in Mexico and Roco Ki in the Dominican Republic.

While Papiez wouldn’t divulge the price tag on the Àrm’s services, he said it’s “well worth it. Well worth it.”

As far as the Tyvek-covered resort ghost town that is Tamarack’s Village Plaza, the new ownership did not buy it back. It’s still owned by the former contractors, dating back to the early days of Tamarack Resort LLC, which is now defunct. That means NewTRAC has no control over the completion of the project.

“As we make those investments, the goal is, that will drive more and more visitation, which will then in turn drive the real estate market. As the resort recovers, that real estate market will emerge, allowing a project like Village Plaza to be completed and sold at a proÀt,” Papiez said.

He claims there aren’t a lot of hard feelings surrounding the contractors and subcon-

tractors, who were never paid for building Tamarack in the Àrst place. He said because Tamarack’s Ànancial problems simply mirrored the larger economy and weren’t isolated to the resort, people were understanding.

“I’ve been really impressed with the amount of support, even from former contractors,” he said. “We’re excited for the resort to come back, but in a very stable and sustainable fashion.”

Most other major resorts weren’t as shaken by the economic downturn, according to David Byrd, from the National Ski Areas Association. He said ski resorts rely on a demographic that’s above average in terms of household income. Large resorts with big brand names like Vail and Jackson Hole fall into the too-big-to-fail category.

“They’re somewhat insulated and protected because they have the people who can afford it,” Byrd said.

Tamarack didn’t have that. It was building a brand from scratch. The resort has put a pin in the idea of becoming one of the Ànest resorts on the planet, and is instead turning its attention to attracting skiers from the Treasure Valley.

Despite Tamarack’s ups and downs, Papiez has never turned away from the resort. While he can navigate the Àner legal and Ànancial details, he struggled at Àrst to explain his own connection to the resort—and why he held on.

“Tamarack has the ability to… It has the ability to—I don’t know. Have you ever skied at Tamarack? It has the ability to create a passion among its employees,” he told Boise Weekly. “It was present when I Àrst started at the resort and I think it was centered around us creating something new. When the recession hit and the resort was shuttered, that passion was fueled by trying to save and preserve something that we love.”

He said a lot of the original employees stayed on board through the foreclosure and worked for the homeowners association to keep the chairlifts operating. Some of them are still beside him today.

He said his job as asset manager, where he tried to show prospective buyers what Tamarack could offer, was never without headaches.

Yet he enjoyed working through the adversity and solving complex problems. He called it rewarding.

“There have been a lot of challenges.

There were many, many challenges, but I survived,” he said. “I love Tamarack and I believe in Tamarack.”

BOI S EW EEKLY.COM

See the Boise River like you’ve never seen it before.

Two local artists, Eric Mullis and Kelly Cox, have had run of the Boise Sesqui-Shop for the past month to create an installation showcasing the Boise River. The project, called “Meander: A Visual Chronicle of the Boise River from the Headwaters to Urban Waterway,” depicts the river from Spangle Lakes through Atlanta, Arrowrock Reservoir, the Foothills and winding into the city.

The tableau takes up the entire shop, and during the month spent building the project, Mullis and Cox encouraged visitors to share their memories of the river and help with the installation.

“It’s really got a community voice,” said Sesqui-Shop curator Rachel Reichert. The artists, trained as potters, branched out into lighting design, projections and woodwork to complete the piece— one of the shop’s last exhibits before it closes down at the end of December. Local band Sun Blood Stories will perform from 7:308:30 p.m. at the 1008 W. Main St. storefront.

“It’s sad,” Reichert said. “We hope there will be a long-term facility where this kind of thing can happen again. After operating it for two years, I’ve seen how valuable of a resource it’s been for a lot of artists. But I’m excited to move on to the next thing.”

Take a peek inside Alex Vega’s sprawling studio space.

First Thursdays are the only times the public can get a glimpse into the 12,000-square-foot private studio of Alex Vega. The Boise Creative Center at 1204 W. Front St. is hard to miss as you drive onto the Connector: It’s the building with all the giant murals.

Vega paints murals, large-scale canvases and corporate fine art in the sprawling studio, which he purchased after years of struggling to work on such large canvases in his little garage on the Bench. He leases portions of the warehouse to local artists, as well.

On Thursday, he’ll feature illustrations by Dick Lee, whose drawings have appeared in National Geographic, Sports Illustrated, the Washington Post and more. Lee will be on site to talk about his work. Visitors can also feel what it’s like to paint on a grand scale.

“They may have never gotten to use an airbrush before, or a commercial paint gun that empties a gallon of paint in 10 seconds,” Vega said.

The Center is also teaming up with Boise Art Glass in the evening to create a mini-block party and harvest festival for First Thursday.

A trip down the Bruneau River, captured on canvas.

This past spring, the Idaho Bureau of Land Management hired JanyRae Seda as its first artist-in-residence. She was taken down the Bruneau River in the Bruneau-Jarbridge Wilderness for three days—rafting through 10 miles of class four rapids.

“It was the first time I’d been camping since I was a Girl Scout,” Seda said. “I’m hooked. I can understand why artists go out into wilderness now.”

After she returned, Seda—whose work is featured on this week’s cover of the Boise Weekly—painted 22 landscapes that captured the power of the wilderness. This First Thursday, she’ll be presenting those pieces to the public at Seda Studio at 514 S. 14th St. The event will include a discussion at 5:30 p.m., refreshments and Seda’s record player. A BLM representative will visit the studio that night to pick one of the paintings for use as a poster and eventual sale at auction to fund wilderness programs.

“It’s probably the best body of work I’ve ever done,” Seda said. “Idaho is pretty amazing and that canyon is sweet.”

Care to dance?

IDAHO DANCE THEATRE: DANCE DECONSTRUCTED Dance is mysterious. It’s a medium used tell a story, express ideas or pay homage to tradition, but the message isn’t always immediately apparent to the viewer. Understanding the motivation behind a dance doesn’t negate its beauty or emotional impact—it often enhances both. Idaho Dance Theatre hopes to heighten the experience of dance with Dance Deconstructed, a free opportunity for audiences to watch “selections of repertory and improvisation, including West African dance and hip-hop,” and then through interaction with the dancers and a Q&A, gain a deeper understanding—and possibly a greater appreciation—of the artform.

FRENCH HORN REBELLION, NOV. 6, CRAZY HORSE Though not a coup against a weird music-hating regime, New York-based French Horn Rebellion may in fact affect a more egalitarian view—if not newfound adoration—of the brass instrument from which it takes its name. There’s some truth to the “Rebellion,” too: According to its bio on soundcloud.com, FHR formed out of the desire to use classical training to make “hot beats” after horn-playing Robert Perlick-Molinari left the orchestra he was with and asked older brother and bassoonist David to start a band.

Since forming FHR in 2007, the Wisconsin-born Perlick-Molinari brothers have turned their attention toward keyboard, creating poppy, synthy, undeniably dancey music and, rather than eschew the beautiful horn, the duo often includes it. It looks a bit anachronistic to see Robert whip out the instrument in the middle of a pop song, but it sounds as organically incorporated as a guitar or the drums—and it elevates FHR’s sound so that while novel, it never comes across as a novelty.

FHR is joined by Zak Waters, another dance-pop master, so wear your dancing shoes and get prepared to be conquered by funky beats.

WINESIPPER A TASTY TONGUE TWISTER

2012 FETZER GEWURZTRAMINER, $8.99 This California wine is a bit closed in at first but opens up to reveal floral clover, tart fruit and spice. On the palate, it’s the sweetest of the trio but definitely not too sweet. Ripe peach and melon flavors turn spicy on the round finish, which lingers nicely. This bargainpriced wine should hold up to pumpkin or sweet potato pie.

2012 GUNDERLOCH DRY GEWURZTRAMINER, $20 Subtle spice takes a back seat to this wine’s equally subdued aromas of stone fruit, mineral and an intriguing touch of butterlaced popcorn. The flavors are a light but pleasant mix of nectarine and sweet melon. This German entry has a plush finish with a light hit of acidity. This is a great choice for a holiday meal opener.

2012 VILLA WOLF GEWURZTRAMINER, $12.99 This wine opens with heady aromas of ripe peach, creamy citrus and soft spice. This is a well-balanced wine with rich stone fruit flavors playing against bright lemon and lime.

A nice spice component comes through on the crisp, clean finish. This one begs to be paired with food—another winner from Germany.

The English translation of gewurztraminer is “spicy traminer,” a northern Italian grape from which this pink-skinned variety most likely evolved. Pronounced “guh-verts-truhmeen-er,” this grape produces an aromatic wine with a touch of sweetness. It’s a great white wine choice for the Thanksgiving feast, pairing well with just about everything.

FOOD/NEWS BOISE TECH CAFE SET TO OPEN SOON The Boise Tech Mall, which is currently under construction at Cloverdale and Overland roads, isn’t just a place for gearheads to play around with the latest gadgets. The multi-story business center will also boast a high-tech cafe on the building’s 3,000-square-foot second floor.

According to Relations Manager Sean Andreas, the Boise Tech Cafe will feature an array of electronic equipment, including a Rational oven.

“It’s, like, a $20,000 oven and it’s not huge but you can control humidity, you can smoke with it, you can have it be a rotisserie, you can bake with it. It’s literally the most cutting edge oven out there,” said Andreas.

“And it can be programmed remotely, so back in Chicago, at Rational, they can actually program a recipe for us to use here in Boise and all we do is press a button and it shows a picture of it and that’s it.”

Andreas said the cafe has been working with Sysco Food Services of Idaho to design its menu, which includes breakfast, lunch, coffee drinks and grab-and-go dinner items, all tailored to using the Rational oven.

“Let’s say Sysco foods has a brand new breakfast that they really want

to try, well we can change our menu real time that same day, they can program our oven for us and then we’re off and running,” explained Andreas.

The Boise Tech Cafe will also boast tablets at every table featuring a digital menu and the ability to order and pay, making the cafe paperless. “[A]ll you do is just hit it and select what you want and send it to the kitchen and they’ll come deliver it to you,” said Andreas. Also on the second story of the Boise Tech Mall, another company is setting up The Hotspot, an automated beer and wine wall.

“There are going to be all these touch-screen tablets and people can come in, they get their wrist band or an RFID card and they walk up to a beer wall and they scan their card … they choose their beer and then they can pour it themselves and it goes by the ounce,” said Andreas. “If you’ve ever been to Bodovino, it’s similar in concept except more high-tech and it’s for beer.”

The Boise Tech Cafe plans a soft opening for the end of November, with a grand opening in December. Visit boisetechcafe.com for more info.

MICHAEL KEATON FLIES HIGH

But only technical wizardry keeps Birdman aloft GEORGE PRENTICE

formance—easily the best of his career.

Keaton plays Riggan Thomas, a oncepopular actor who played iconic superhero The Birdman, a joke that is about three layers too-contrived. Thomas is trying to revive his one-note career by mounting a Broadway play. Inarritu surrounds Thomas with good-looking Broadway co-stars (Naomi Watts and Andrea Riseborough), a good-looking daughter (Emma Stone), a good-looking ex-wife (Amy Ryan) and even a good-looking critic (Lindsay Duncan).

With Edward Norton and Zach GaliÀanakis added to the mix, there’s a lot to chew on.

The real stars however are Inarritu and cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki as they swing, sweep and swoop their camra lens across some magniÀcent New York City landscapes. I loved the movie’s technology and Keaton is great, but Birdman’s story left me up in the air.

Juliette Binoche, who is incapable of being anything less than wonderful, stars in the best independent Àlm of the week.

In A Thousand Times Good Night, Binoche plays war-zone photojournalist Rebecca, who is torn between her world-class work and working-class family. While recuperating from an on-the-job injury, Rebecca is chastised for her priorities by her daughters and her husband (played by Game of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau).

SHARK NAVIGATOR LIFT-AWAY PRO VACUUM Like wrinkles and gray hairs, getting excited about a new household appliance is probably an indicator of aging. My 16-year-old self would have been loathe to acknowledge a new vacuum unless it housed a genie that not only hoovered the floors, but did all the rest of my Saturday morning chores so I could sleep in and dream of marrying one of the members of Duran Duran (usually Simon Le Bon).

Decades later, I have lines in my face; white hair at my temples; and can’t remember the last time I slept past 8 a.m. $149-$199 on a weekend. I’ve matured, so sharkclean.com and it makes some sense I would be other retail outlets excited when my husband bought me the Shark Navigator Lift-Away Pro Vacuum, but it’s more than that: The Shark Navigator kicks ass. On carpeted floors, the spinning brushes practically propel the lightweight, bagless vacuum forward. Emptying the canister is super simple and the filter is dishwasher safe. The Dust-Away pad is perfect for hard floors and the Pet Hair Power Brush attachment means maybe my dander-sensitive friends can start visiting again.

I’ll admit, I was a little surprised at my unabashed affection for my Shark vacuum but it’s sleek, works great and didn’t cost an arm and a leg, something even the teenage me would have appreciated—though she would be disappointed to learn she never meets Duran Duran.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Shapeshifting is a common theme in fairy tales, says cultural historian Marina Warner in her book From the Beast to the Blonde.

“A rusty lamp turns into an allpowerful talisman,” for example.

“A humble pestle and mortar become the winged vehicle of the fairy enchantress,” or a slovenly beggar wearing a dirty donkey skin transforms into a radiant princess. I foresee metaphorically similar events happening in your life sometime soon, Aries. Maybe they are already under way. Don’t underestimate the magic that is possible.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The technical scientific term for what happens when you get a headache from eating too much ice cream too fast is sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia. I urge you to be on guard against such an occurrence in the coming week.

You should also watch out for other phenomena that fit the description of being too much and too fast of a good thing. On the other hand, you shouldn’t worry at all about slowly getting just the right amount of a good thing. If you enjoy your pleasures with grace and moderation, you’ll be fine.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Pregreening” is a term for what impatient drivers do as they are waiting at a red light. They partly take their foot off the brake, allow-

ing their car to creep forward, in the hope of establishing some momentum before the light changes to green. I advise you to avoid this type of behavior in the coming week, Gemini—both the literal and the metaphorical variety.

Pregreening might make sense by, say, Nov. 15 or 16. But for now, relax and abide.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): German composer Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) was one of the greats. His influence on the evolution of Western music has been titanic, and many of his best compositions are still played today. He was prodigious, too, producing over 350 works. One of the secrets to his high level of energy seems to have been his relationship with coffee. It was an indispensable part of his diet. He was fastidious in its preparation, counting out exactly 60 coffee beans for each cup. I recommend that you summon a similar attention to detail in the coming days.

It will be an excellent time to marshal your creative energy and cultivate your lust for life. You will get the best results if you are precise and consistent and focused in your approach.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): By the time we have become young adults, most of us don’t remember much about our lives from before the age of 5. As we grow into middle age, more and more childhood memories drop

away. Vague impressions and hazy feelings may remain. A few special moments keep burning brightly.

But the early events that shaped us are mostly gone. Having said that, I want to alert you to the fact that you are in a phase when you could recover whole swaths of lost memories, both from your formative years and later. Take advantage of this rare window of opportunity to reconnect with your past.

emit and absorb short bursts of information at frequent intervals.

But I invite you to rebel against this trend in the coming weeks.

Judging from the astrological omens, I believe you would stir up some quietly revolutionary developments by slowing down and deepening the way you communicate with those you care about.

You may be amazed by how much richer your experience of intimacy will become.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Photographer Joel Leindecker can kick himself in the head 127 times in one minute. Guinness World Records affirms that his achievement is unmatched. I’m begging you not to try to top his mark any time soon. In fact, I’m pleading with you not to commit any act of mayhem, chaos or unkindness against yourself— even if it it’s done for entertainment purposes. In my view, it’s crucial for you to concentrate on caressing yourself, treating yourself nicely, and caring for yourself with ingenious tenderness in the coming weeks.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Near the end of the 19th century, an American named Annie Londonderry became the first woman to ride a bicycle around the world. It was a brave and brazen act for an era when women still couldn’t vote and paved roads were rare. Her 15-month journey took her through countries that would be risky for a single woman on a bike to travel through today, like Egypt and Yemen. What made her adventure even more remarkable was that she didn’t know how to ride a bike until two days before she departed. I’d love to see you plan a daring exploit like that, Scorpio—even if you do not yet have a certain skill you will need to succeed.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The writing of letters is becoming a lost art. Few people have a long enough attention span to sit down and compose a relaxed, thoughtful report on what they have been doing and thinking. Meanwhile, the number of vigorous, farreaching conversations is waning, too. Instead, many of us tend to

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): P.G. Wodehouse wrote more than 90 books, as well as numerous plays, musical comedies and film scripts. When he died at age 93, he was working on another novel.

He did not suffer from writer’s

block. And yet his process was far from effortless. He rarely churned out perfection on his first attempt.

“I have never written a novel,” he testified, “without doing 40,000 words or more and finding they were all wrong and going back and starting again.” The way I see your immediate future, Sagittarius, is that you will be creating your own version of those 40,000 wrong words. And that’s OK. It’s not a problem. You can’t get to the really good stuff without slogging through this practice run.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It’s a favorable time for you to meditate intensely on the subject of friendship. I urge you to take inventory of all the relevant issues. Here are a few questions to ask yourself. How good of a friend are you to the people you want to have as your friends?

What capacities do you cultivate in your effort to build and maintain vigorous alliances? Do you have a clear sense of what qualities you seek in your cohorts and colleagues? Are you discerning in the way you choose your compatriots, or do you sometimes end up in associations with people you don’t truly enjoy and don’t have much in common with? If you discover any laziness or ignorance in your approach to the art of friendship, make the necessary fixes.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Before the invention of the printing press, books in Europe were hand-

made. Medieval monks spent long hours copying these texts, often adding illustrations in the margins.

There’s an odd scene that persistently appears in these illuminated manuscripts: knights fighting snails. Scholars don’t agree on why this theme is so popular or what it means. One theory is that the snail symbolizes the “slowmoving tedium of daily life,” which can be destructive to our hopes and dreams—similar to the way that literal snails may devour garden plants. In accordance with the cosmic omens, I am bestowing a knighthood on you, Aquarius, so you will be inspired to rise up and defeat your own metaphorical version of the snail.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): To be in righteous alignment with cosmic forces, keep the Halloween spirit alive for another week. You have a license to play with your image and experiment with your identity. Interesting changes will unfold as you expand your notion of who you are and rebel cheerfully against your own status quo. To get started, try this exercise. Imagine that your gangsta name is Butt-Jugglin Smuggla.

Your pirate name is Scallywagger Hornslasher. Your sex-worker name is Saucy Loaf. Your Mexican wrestler name is Ojo Último (Ultimate Eye). Your rock starfrom-the-future name is Cashmere Hammer. Or make up your own variations.
