EDITOR’S NOTE WINTER OF OUR DISCONTENT In the words of Kin Hubbard, one of the greatest—if mostly forgotten—American humorists of the late-19th and early 20th centuries, “Don’t knock the weather. Nine-tenths of the people couldn’t start a conversation if it didn’t change once in awhile.”

If you’ve been anywhere in the vicinity of southern Idaho over the past couple of weeks, odds are you’ve based a sizable number of social interactions on snow plowing (or lack thereof), how or whether you were or weren’t able to mush your way to work, historic snowfall in the greater Boise area going back to the 1980s and/or how sore you are from shoveling.

We tend to disregard “weather talk” as shallow, but, as essayist and author Stephen Lapeyrouse wrote in a 2000 edition of the magazine English, it occupies an essential part of human relations as a generally harmless (if boring) form of shared experience. “‘Weather talk’ is about the weather; but it is also about the state of the common shared humanity—enlivening or dead,” he wrote.

In other words, we talk about the weather when we don’t want to talk about the deeper issues of life, religion, politics or economics. It’s “human sharing when people have little deeper in common, or are afraid to share or disagree,” Lapeyrouse wrote.

While the reality of the season brings us together as we dig each other out of snow banks and volunteer to clear our neighbors’ driveways, it’s also a season of great division. In the run-up to the inauguration of arguably the most polarizing president in U.S. history on Jan. 20, we feature a few stories about unity in this week’s edition of Boise Weekly.

On Page 6, BW News Editor George Prentice profiles a pair of Boise high-schoolers who are bringing people together to spur non-partisan action on a slate of social justice issues. On Page 7, freelancer Sami Edge takes a look at how new immigration policies could create literal divisions within families. Finally, on Page 16, Prentice checks in with the new director for Student Diversity and Inclusion at Boise State University about the unifying vision of Dr. Martin Luther King, whose birthday will be marked Monday, Jan. 16, with marches, speeches and a spirit of civic engagement that is always in season.

MAIL IDAHO IS TOO GREAT FOR THIS Dear Editor,

In March of 2016, Idaho’s attorney general’s office charged a white high-school football player John R. K. Howard of Dietrich, Idaho for abusing a black highschool football player with a disability by kicking a coat hanger into his rectum. The charge was dropped from “felony injury to a child” with major punishment to three years of probation with the possibility of the offense being removed after probation. The AG stated it was “not a sex crime” and that it “was not a racially motivated crime”.

Every article that I have read includes details of the history of racial slurs used by those involved in this case toward the victim, it also includes the act of kicking a hanger into the victim’s rectum and some mention the act of “humping.”

To deny that this crime involved race, to deny that the intent was forced and unwanted sexual domination is to abuse the power of authority. We must ask ourselves as Idahoans, is this acceptable? To lie and protect community members that are racially and sexually abusive?

As a community, we should seek accountability from the Idaho attorney general through a public statement expressing commitment from his office to learn about implicit bias on gender, race and ability. As a community, we should seek accountability from the Dietrich School District to undo a culture of hate,

violence and racism.

Idaho is too great for this.

TRUMP CAN’T TRUMP COMPASSION Dear Editor, We all know Donald Trump as a reality television star with his show The Apprentice. Like him or hate him, he is the presidentelect and will be in charge of the world’s largest superpower. Not only is he racist and homophobic, he is also sexist, Islamophobic and has degraded more people than he will probably ever “raise up.”

Donald Trump stands for separation and hate rather than love and unity. He makes fun of handicapped citizens, makes horrific remarks about women on videotape and, yet, America still voted him as president.

Some say “stop making it a big deal, it’s over,” but Donald Trump, you are not my president and you never will be. I don’t stand for hate and I don’t stand for separation. I stand for love, unity and respect for everything and everyone that lives on this beautiful planet. We are one human race, not just one nation.

Everything and everyone is deserving of love. We shouldn’t have a president who preaches nothing but hate. America, I know that it is hard, but it is important to unify and stand as one because Donald Trump can’t trump our compassion.

NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION Dear Editor, The coming New Year’s resolution should be pretty obvious, particularly when it comes to diet: 2017 will go down in history as the year when plant-based meats have revolutionized the food industry.

A dozen start-ups, led by Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods, are creating plant-based burgers and other meats that are more delicious, convenient and healthy than the old-fashioned animal-based variety.

They are backed by tech industry pioneers like Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Google principals Sergey Brin and Eric Schmidt and PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel. Even animal meat behemoth Tyson Foods has announced a $150 million venture capital fund to explore and invest in these products.

The plant-based food revolution is going mainstream. Hundreds of school, college, hospital and corporate cafeterias have embraced Meatless Monday.

Fast-food chains Chipotle, Panera, Subway and Taco Bell are rolling out plantbased dinner options.

And American consumers are responding, with fully ⅓ reducing their intake of animal-based meats, milks and other food products.

Let’s make this New Year’s resolution about exploring the rich variety of delicious, convenient, healthy plant-based dinners, lunch meats, cheeses, milks and ice creams available in every supermarket. The internet offers tons of recipes and transition tips.

IFF called Otter’s FY2018 budget a “behemoth.”

STATE OF THE STATE: CRITICISM (CONSTRUCTIVE AND OTHERWISE) Critics from across the political spectrum wasted no time picking apart Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter’s Jan. 9 State of the State address, in which he unveiled a proposed Fiscal Year 2018 budget that topped $3.6 billion—the majority to be spent on education.

Democratic leadership offered some faint praise for what they called Otter’s “strategic vision” of ensuring 60 percent of Idaho highschool graduates attain some kind of higher education, but quickly added that they doubted the governor was capable of convincing his own party to buy into that vision.

“The State of the State made it clear that Gov. Otter has heard how important education is for the future of Idaho,” said House Minority Leader Rep. Mat Erpelding (D-Boise). “But it’s apparent that our economic growth will become increasingly constrained by the lack of strategic vision and leadership from the majority party.”

Otter proposed an additional $15 million be earmarked to help school districts cover the cost of higher health insurance premiums for district employees, but the Idaho Education Association—representing thousands of teachers in every corner of the Gem State—has fronted another plan. Instead of a new line item for insurance costs, IEA proposed districts should see an increase to their discretionary budgets, “allowing districts the control and flexibility to fund health care costs and other priorities as they see fit.”

Otter’s harshest criticism came from the right-leaning Idaho Freedom Foundation, whose executive director called the governor’s FY 2018 budget a “behemoth.”

“Idahoans deserve the conservative government they voted for,” said IFF Executive Director Wayne Hoffman. “The governor’s budget doesn’t deliver on that. His budget grows government by nearly 9 percent and offers zero tax relief.”

When Hoffman fired off his State of the State reaction to IFF members, he also took the opportunity to solicit more donations for the organization.

“We need to fight harder for the conservative principles we hold dear,” Hoffman wrote to his members. “Donate $20.17 to help IFF fight for these principles.”

GEORGE PRENTICE

STATE OF IDAH O

UNDA’ THE ROTUNDA

IN SEARCH OF WHAT DOESN’T DIVIDE US

For two young activists, it’s not always about politics GEORGE PRENTICE The good news: Sound, nonpartisan civic engagement is on the horizon. The bad news: We’ll probably need to wait a generation to see it. Not for a second do Nora Harren and Colette Raptosh suggest they have all the answers; but, spend some time with these two lean-in activists, and you’ll see that if Idaho has any hope of doing something about gender or pay equity, Harren and Raptosh may be game-changers.

The two Boise high-schoolers—Harren is a senior at Borah, Raptosh is a junior at Capital— admit they’re part of a demographic typically not engaged when it comes to politics.

“Not being able to vote this past November was a struggle, we admit that,” said Harren.

“At first, it felt to us that we couldn’t have an impact, but we’ve come to learn that’s simply not true,” she added. “We decided that if we can’t vote, then what we can do is take action.”

“That’s why we decided to organize the unity rally on the steps of the Capitol,” Raptosh said.

With the recent election season highlighting what separates us more than what unites us, Harren and Raptosh saw an opportunity to start looking for the latter. Just four days after Election Day, the two young women stood at the top of the Statehouse steps—one holding a sign reading “I Have a Dream”—looking out on a sea of faces.

It was a tough crowd, though, with more than a few attendees not yet ready to concede Donald Trump would be the next U.S. president.

“What I feel now is anger,” one Boise State University student said. “I don’t think the president-elect represents me as a woman.”

“All the things I’m teaching my kids, Trump embodies none of that,” a young mother said.

Where some saw frustration or fear in the new political climate, Harren and Raptosh saw a chance to make a difference.

“I can’t imagine a better time to volunteer, to step up, to be counted,” said Harren. “Think of it: Can you think of a better opportunity to volunteer for the Women and Children’s Alliance, Planned Parenthood or the Idaho Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence?”

Nora Harren (left) and Colette Raptosh (right), organziers of the Saturday, Jan. 21 Women’s March on Idaho, beginning on the steps of the Idaho Capitol and continuing to the Boise City Hall Plaza.

Raptosh said it has nothing to do with how old you are.

“Whether you vote or not, whether you’re currently involved in any issue or not, you have a say in changing your community. You have a say in turning your passion into real change,” she said.

“You know the cliche about ‘talking the talk?’

Well, I can’t think of a better time to ‘walk the walk.’ Here’s the real message: Maybe you voted, but were you involved? If you want to have a bigger impact, then you have to do more than vote.”

For Harren and Raptosh, “doing more” includes organizing the Women’s March on Idaho, Saturday, Jan. 21, starting on the steps of Statehouse and continuing to Boise City Hall.

“The first thing you should know is that this isn’t simply some kind of anti-Trump political rally,” said Raptosh. “This is about inspiring and honoring those who champion human rights, dignity, diversity and justice.”

But even a novice would note the event takes place one day after Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration, the same day there is expected to be a massive women’s march on Washington, D.C..

“Yes, our rally in Idaho will take place on the first full day of Donald Trump’s presidency and we support the sisterhood of marches that will take place all over the U.S.,” said Raptosh. “But to be clear, we’re not trying to send a message of protest. Our march is about the progress of women’s rights, gender equity, environmental justice. That’s our message.”

The pair has already secured some impressive speakers for the Jan. 21 event: Sen. Cherie Buckner-Webb (D-Boise), Rep. Melissa Wintrow (D-Boise) and Jennifer Martinez, the daughter of migrant workers who rose to mount a 2016 challenge to Congressman Mike Simpson (R-Idaho).

Idaho House Minority Leader Matt Erpelding (D-Boise) is familiar with how skillful Harren and Raptosh are at convincing high-profile speakers to participate in their rallies. They secured his attendance and participation at the Nov. 12 unity rally.

“I can’t tell you how impressed I was by how many turned out for that rally,” Erpelding said.

“When I spoke to the gathering that day, I said we had two choices: to be fearful of Donald Trump’s risk to progress or to lean against that risk and take it on. I know that risk can be defeated and we can, indeed, move forward again. As for those two young ladies who organized that rally? Wow. There’s the future.”

The future is what Harren and Raptosh are most focused on.

“I’m hoping that after our Jan. 21 march, that people don’t look at this engagement as some kind of ending point. It has to be the starting point, to go out, get involved with organizations and have more of a say about Idaho,” said Raptosh.

With engagement comes pushback, and Harren and Raptosh have heard plenty. It only motivates them to double down on their message and work harder to bring people together.

“Yes, we’ve received a bit of hate already, particularly through social media,” said Raptosh.

“But that’s the risk that we assume. It’s not something to stopsus. If a few people want to label us politically, they would be jumping to the wrong conclusions. “ Harren smiled before agreeing.

“For us, it’s a waste of time and energy to fight back against that kind of hate,” she said.

“Look, this isn’t about the election. We want to have a separate conversation. It’s not about who won. It’s not about who lost. It’s about being involved.”

TRUMP’S ‘THREAT’ TO CITIZENSHIP

NEWS

CITYDESK

The Times reports tent cities like Cooper Court in Boise have become more prevalent in the West.

NEW YORK TIMES CHRONICLES RISING TIDE OF HOMELESS ENCAMPMENTS In a Jan. 9 article titled “Rights Battles Emerge in Cities Where Homelessness Can Be a Crime,” The New York Times chronicled a dilemma that Boiseans know all too well. The Times reported a growing number of homeless encampments, similar to the former tent city in Boise that became known as “Cooper Court,” have “led to civic soul-searching in cities around the country.”

In its story, The Times pointed to a 2015 letter to Boise officials from the U.S. Department of Justice warning that “laws criminalizing homelessness could violate the Constitution’s protections against cruel and unusual punishment.” City officials pushed back against the letter, stating the DOJ was incorrect in calling Boise’s anti-camping ordinance poor public policy. City officials insisted Boise police officers were prohibited from ticketing homeless individuals for “camping” on city streets when shelters were full—a “rare” occurrence, they said at the time.

The Times reported a number of homeless advocates have expressed growing concern, worried about how homeless encampments “might fare under Presidentelect Donald Trump, who ran as a law and order candidate.”

“We’re quite concerned,” Maria Foscarinis, executive director of the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty, told The Times, estimating half of major American cities had some kind of anti-camping law.

“No sooner do you win the battle than 10 other cities pop up, criminalizing homelessness,” she said.

In November 2016, Seattle homeless advocate and Boise native Sara Rankin ripped the city of Boise’s anti-camping ordinance, even though it was amended to make it enforceable only when shelters have room to spare.

“It’s still a bad law,” she said.

According to The Times, homeless encampments “have become a particularly acute problem” in the western U.S., “where soaring housing costs and a scarcity of subsidized apartments have pushed homelessness to the fore.”

NATIONAL MYTHSTORY

IDAHO LAUGH FEST

ISA ANNUAL FUNDRAISER: DAVID ANDREWS

Everything’s bigger in Texas—its clout when it comes to school textbooks is no exception. For years, its massive textbook market and arch-conservative board of education have been making learning choices for Lone Star State students and beyond—choices that include marginalizing the roles of women, slavery and civil rights, and playing up the role of religion in history classes.

That doesn’t sit well with Boise artist Bryan Anthony Moore, and his most recent installation, National Mythstory, challenges the story of America being told to schoolkids through paintings, sculptures and illustrations that reframe historical documents and texts to emphasize social justice. Along with showing his work, Moore will conduct an artist talk about National Mythstory, so come prepared to get fired up.

6-8 p.m. FREE. Boise State University Student Union Gallery, 1910 University Drive, 208-426-1242, bryananthonymoore.net.

Comedy fans can shake off the winter ice with four days of comedy at the Idaho Laugh Fest. The annual event started four years ago as an attempt to “launch a full-blown, five alarm comedy explosion” in Idaho—and the fire’s still burning. This year, 60 comics will perform in 16 shows full of standup, improv and musical comedy, ranging in content from family friendly to fully adult. Headlining the event is Fortune Feimster, a comedian and actress who rose to fame on the 2010 season of Last Comic Standing, was named by Variety as one of the top 10 comics to watch in 2014, and has made appearances on The Mindy Project and Chelsea Lately. As a bonus, Boise performers can get a leg up on improv, comedy writing and acting during a series of $10 workshops hosted by accomplished laugh makers.

Jan. 12, 5-11:45 p.m.; Jan. 13-15, noon-11:45 p.m.; FREE-$30.

Anyone who thinks Boise isn’t conducive to cultivating creativity hasn’t heard of the Idaho Songwriters Association. Founded in 2010 by renowned musicians Steve Eaton and Terry “T.T.” Miller, ISA is “dedicated to the encouragement and promotion of songwriters.” To keep the sounds and services in the right key, ISA is holding its inaugural annual fundraiser on Friday, Jan. 13 to help support the range of events it has planned for 2017. To make sure the fundraiser becomes a can’t-miss annual happening, ISA is kicking it off on a high note: Entertainment for the evening includes a rare Boise appearance by David Andrews (co-founder of Calobo), one of the most talented singer-songwriters to ever call Boise home. Further proof that in Boise, musicians can live in harmony.

STORIES WORTH TELLING: UNLOCKING THE PAST Since at least 2010—when The New Yorker thought to ask the question, “Why Are Americans Mad About Genealogy?”—digging up your ancestral roots has been considered among the fastest growing hobbies in the U.S. Part of the reason we care so much about tracing our lineage, according to The New Yorker, could be that so many of us come from immigrant families who intentionally scrubbed their past lives in favor of a new, American one. Whatever the case, millions of Americans are eager to learn from whence they came. If you’re among them, check out Stories Worth Telling: Unlocking the Past at the Collister Library in Boise. All you have to do is bring the name of an ancestor you’re curious about and you’ll learn the first steps toward building your family history using census and military records, ship manifests and immigration records.

As iconic singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen once said, “We are so lightly here. It is in love that we are made. In love we disappear.”

That truth was made clear upon his death Nov. 7, 2016, when countless eulogies praised the Canadian-born poet and musician for his peerless career as a poet, painter, philosopher and troubadour.

Expressing their love for the Bard of the Boudoir (as the Washington Post called him in 2006), a raft of local musicians will come together at the Record Exchange for an evening of live Cohen covers. With Tim Johnstone of 94.9 FM The River hosting, artists on the bill include a.k.a. Belle, Belinda Bowler, Steve Fulton, Kayleigh Jack, Leta Neustaedter, Thomas Paul, Curtis Stigers and more.

Attendance, should be high, so guarantee your admission with a free wristband available at The RX (one per person).

To borrow another phrase from the late, great Cohen, “I’ve often said if I knew where the good songs came from, I’d go there more often.” Now you know where to go: The Record Exchange.

JOHN CRAIGIE, JAN. 13, THE OLYMPIC In a press release for his new album, No Rain, No Rose (Zabriskie Point Records, Jan. 27, 2017), Portland, Ore.-based John Craigie explains taking the title from an “old Buddhist saying, ‘No mud, no lotus,’ which basically means, you need the bad things to make the good things. I changed it to reflect my rainy City of Roses.”

There’s a mournful quality to Craigie’s songs, as well as a deep sense of place. Tracks like “I Am California” and “Coldest Colorado” bring the West and the people who live there to life, filtered through his twangy voice and folk guitar strumming.

The Yin to mud and rain’s Yang are songs like “Let’s Talk This Over When We’re Sober and Not at Burning Man” and “I Almost Stole Some Weed from Todd Snider.”

If there’s a word that sums up this folk singer from the City of Roses, it’s “Zen.” —Harrison Berry 7 p.m.; $7 adv., $10 door. The Olympic Venue, 1009 W. Main St., 208-342-0176, theolympicboise.com.

Decades from now, audiences and the film’s conclusion, when the lights came up on an audience at TIFF that had been appalled, critics may consider Elle to be “inspired,” to say amused and thoroughly engaged, a major ques- the very least.

Among the many controversial films of 2016, Elle was surely one of the most debated.

Nonetheless, it vaulted from its once-relegated fate of being a little-seen art house provocation into the national Oscar conversation on Jan. 8, when it pulled off an upset triumph as Best Foreign Film at the Golden Globe Awards.

Moments later its star, Isabelle Huppert, walked to the podium to pick up her own award, besting a formidable list of contenders for Best Actress, including co-favorites Natalie Portman (Jackie) and Amy Adams (Arrival).

“I’m a bit amazed because my movie doesn’t really invite you to sympathize with the character [portrayed by Huppert],” said director Paul Verhoeven in accepting the Best Foreign Film prize. “The lead character goes in directions that you might not take.”

It is no exaggeration to suggest moviegoers brace themselves before settling in to see Elle, which opens in Boise on Friday, Jan. 13. The debate over the French-language film’s exploitations or merits spilled out into the theater lobby after its screening at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival, and film buffs and critics alike argued about it for days after—even while lining up to see other films.

The opening scenes of Elle depict the broad-daylight rape of Michele (Huppert) by a masked intruder. What follows is also uncomfortable: Michele tidies up her home (the scene of her rape), orders some sushi and goes on with the business of the rest of her day.

Michele is an assertive head of a thriving video game company, where she is surrounded by a collection of male employees who either resent her success or are infatuated with her.

Adding to the mix is Michele’s mother, who is obsessed with younger men. Then there’s Michele’s sheepish son, who is bullied by his girlfriend. Finally, we’re asked to consider Michele’s own sexual liaisons with married men.

Tangled into this psycho-sexual knot is the dilemma that Michele is the daughter of a serial killer whose parole is soon approaching.

Elle asks its audience to keep all of that in mind while knowing Michele manages a company that makes a tidy profit from misogynistic video games—taken together, it’s a compendium of themes: some offensive, many disturbing, but all ripe for drama.

Director Verhoeven has enjoyed critical, popular and even cult successes (Basic Instinct, RoboCop, Total Recall, Starship Troopers), but he’s also the man who made one of the most

CITIZEN FRANCISCO SALINAS Keeping the Dream Real GEORGE PRENTICE

Francisco Salinas breaks barriers for a living. To get there, though, he needed to break a few of his own.

“My parents came to the Pacific Northwest from families of migrant farmworkers. My first job in Washington’s Skagit Valley was in the same area where my grandmother used to pick strawberries,” said Salinas. “My father didn’t finish college, and my mother dropped out of high school when she gave birth to me.”

Salinas said he was always “intellectually hungry” as a young man.

“I was one of those first-generation college graduates,” he said. “When I got my degree, my father went back to college after he retired and finished his degree.”

Today, Salinas is the director for Student Diversity and Inclusion at Boise State University and, in anticipation of a string of events for Boise State’s upcoming MLK Living Legacy Celebration, Salinas talked about how yesterday’s dreams are tomorrow’s hopes.

Boise Weekly’s payroll provider for 15 years.

How do you spend your days at Boise State?

Most of what I do is communication. For example, I’m part of the adjunct faculty for the University Foundations Program, guiding students through concepts and ideas.

Give me an example.

I use the book Pedagogy of the Oppressed, where the author, Paolo Freire talks about the so-called “banking model”: treating students as an empty vessel to be filled with knowledge, much like a bank. But words are only words until they’re applied to our lives. Take, for example, a word so universal as “mother.” That might have a different concept to you or me.

Are you saying we expand our horizons by identifying someone else’s concept of “mother”?

Exactly. We spend a lot of time in class challenging each other’s interpretations of different concepts.

Speaking of concepts, there are many children who only know America with an

African-American president. That’s about to change pretty dramatically.

But last year’s presidential campaign didn’t create anything that wasn’t already there. For example, our nation sees a growing concern of bias in our criminal justice system. Don’t tell me that bias doesn’t also exist in something like banking or fashion as well.

Speaking of the end of the Obama administration, I would be remiss if I didn’t ask about one of your Living Legacy events: Obama Appreciation Night.

It will be an open mic night. Believe me, students will have a lot to say about Obama.

It’s not lost on anyone that your event will be on the evening of Thursday, Jan. 19, the final day of the Obama administration.

It’s the end of our nation’s first-ever nonwhite presidency. That’s pretty important.

I also see on your schedule of events that you’ll have two movie nights [Tuesday, Jan. 17 and Thursday, Jan. 26], when you’ll screen Southside With You and Birth of a Nation.

Film is emotionally powerful. Aristotle taught us that using art was indeed teaching; you’re just using a different set of tools. Film does that in a particularly intimate way.

How do you connect Dr. King’s legacy to the hearts and minds of 21st century students?

Dr. King identified the triple evils: racism, poverty and war. Those triple evils still exist.

Many people still look at Dr. King’s birthday as just another day off from work or school.

It’s really a day on, not a day off. Come join our poster-making event. Join our march to the Statehouse. It’s an opportunity to honor a legacy that challenges us to create a better world. Those triple evils require our attention more than ever. If you shrink from that responsibility, it’s on you.

A MONTANA BREWERY IS COMING TO TOWN Plus Woodland Empire’s Anniversary and Luciano’s planned expansion along the Boise River Z ACH HAGADONE Birthday wishes—and a few toasts—are in order for Woodland Empire Ale Craft, which is celebrating three years of craft beer goodness with an anniversary bash Saturday, Jan. 14.

The beer will flow from 2-10 p.m. featuring the release of So Juicy: Peach Apricot IPA and Woodland Pilsner, both of which will be available year round, as well as the Ada County Stout—a monster 15 percent ABV imperial stout with coffee and cacao nibs that has been gathering its strength in whiskey barrels for the past year. Woodland Empire will also be pouring an English style ale brewed with molasses and an oak aged sour blend.

Come for the brews, stay for the games and special menu from Manfred’s Catering. The event is 21+, so leaves those kids at home.

Speaking of breweries, White Dog Brewing Company, which is headquartered in Bozeman, Mont., is deep in demolition work at the former Grind and PostModern Brewers space on Fulton Street.

The location at 705 W. Fulton St. was long home to Tablerock BrewPub and Grill, which closed in May 2014, ending its almost 25-year reign as Boise’s preeminent brewery.

Grind and PostModern took over following Tablerock’s closure, but shut their doors in February 2016.

White Dog, which inherits the former Tablerock/PostModern 15-barrel system, is a young operation—its flagship Montana brewery only opened in 2015—but its Fulton Street location will bump its capacity by 2,500 barrels per year.

As with its Bozeman space, the Boise brewery will feature a “frost rail”—a strip of chilled metal that runs the length of bar where drinkers can park their glasses and keep them cold while they cool their heels.

White Dog Brewing Company co-owner Dan Jordan is expanding his Bozeman, Mont.-based brewery to Boise.

According to brewery co-owner Dan Jordan, some former TableRock offerings may be resurrected, but White Dog won’t be a full-service brewpub. That said, plans are for a food truck to be parked permanently on the premises.

Expect to start fetching yourself White Dog beers in the City of Trees as soon as this spring.

Speaking of expansions, longtime Bench standby—and winner of Best Local Italian in the 2015 and 2016 Best of Boise—Luciano’s Italian Restaurant is staking a claim on the banks of the Boise River with Caffe Luciano.

Set to open its doors in the spring, Caffe Luciano will be located on prime real estate at Adams Street and Prospect Way in Garden City, a stone’s throw from the bridge that spans the Boise River to the Esther Simplot Park and Quinn’s Pond.

The new Italian spot adds to the string of eateries and drinkeries already along the Garden City riverfront, including Joe’s Crab Shack, Telaya Winery and The Sandbar—the latter which also underwent some expansion of its own in recent months with the remodel of 554 square feet into another patio bar and grill. Work on the space was ongoing through the fall and the seasonal riverside live music venue and greenbelt-accessible gathering place will open bigger and better when it starts welcoming guests again in May. Speaking of New Year’s renovations, Chandlers Steakhouse is ushering in 2017 with a “major refresh.”

According to a filing with the city, Chan-

dlers is enlarging its dining area more than 160 square feet by incorporating part of what was once elevated patio seating, as well as renovating its 25-year-old kitchen.

If you’ve been jonesing for a steak and one of Chandlers’ renowned martinis, don’t worry—the award-winning steakhouse is on track to reopen with its new and improved layout in February.

Speaking of “new,” now that Acquired Again Antiques is history, North Enders and frequenters to Hyde Park can look forward to an additional place to sip on suds or enjoy a splash of a wine.

According to documents filed with the city, owner Scott McCoy and Cole Architects have applied to make some changes to the space at 1304 W. Alturas to make way for “wine and beer tavern” Camel’s Crossing.

The application asks for permission to remove the exterior stairs, landing and handrail at the building adjacent to Hyde Park Pub and Grill, as well as reduce the size of the entry to make way for outdoor seating.

The project won’t get underway until its conditional use permit is approved by the city, which will consider the application at a hearing Monday, Feb. 13 before the Boise City Planning and Zoning Commission.

Finally, in a case of “what was old is new again,” longtime, well known local chef Richard Langston opened his namesake restaurant Richard’s at the Inn at 500 Capitol on Jan. 9. Langston had planned for a Jan. 2 grand opening, but was delayed due to construction and bad weather.

LEGAL NOTICES

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): In Norse mythology, Yggdrasil is a holy tree that links all of the nine worlds to each other. Perched on its uppermost branch is an eagle with a hawk sitting on its head.

Far below, living near the roots, is a dragon. The hawk and eagle stay in touch with the dragon via Ratatoskr, a talkative squirrel that runs back and forth between the heights and the depths. Alas, Ratatoskr traffics solely in insults.

That’s the only kind of message the birds and the dragon ever have for each other. I suggest you act like a far more benevolent version of Ratatoskr in the coming weeks. Be a feisty communicator who roams far and wide to spread uplifting gossip and energizing news.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You have a divine mandate to love bigger and stronger and truer than ever before. It’s high time to freely give the gifts you sometimes hold back from those you care for. It’s high time to take full ownership of neglected treasures so you can share them with your worthy allies.

It’s high time to madly cultivate the generosity of spirit that will enable you to more easily receive the blessings that can and should be yours. Be a brave, soft-hearted warrior of love.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I love and respect Tinker Bell, Kermit the Frog, Shrek, Wonder

Woman, SpongeBob SquarePants, Snow White, Road Runner and Calvin and Hobbes. They have provided me with much knowledge and inspiration. Given the current astrological omens, I suspect you, too, can benefit from cultivating your relationships with characters like them. It’s also a favorable time for you to commune with the spirits of Harriet Tubman, Leonardo da Vinci, Marie Curie or any other historical figures who inspire you. I suggest you have dreamlike conversations with your most interesting ancestors, as well. Are you still in touch with your imaginary friends from childhood? If not, renew acquaintances.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “I never wish to be easily defined,” wrote Cancerian author Franz Kafka. “I’d rather float over other people’s minds as something fluid and non-perceivable; more like a transparent, paradoxically iridescent creature rather than an actual person.” Do you ever have that experience? I do. I’m a Crab like you, and I think it’s common among members of our tribe. For me, it feels liberating. It’s a way to escape people’s expectations of me and enjoy the independence of living in my fantasies. But I plan to do it a lot less in 2017, and I advise you to do the same. We should work hard at coming all the way down to earth. We will thrive by floating less and being better grounded; by

20 c JANUARY 11-17, 2017 c BOISEweekly

being less fuzzy and more solid; by not being so inscrutable, but rather more knowable.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Here’s my declaration: “I hereby forgive, completely and permanently, all motorists who have ever irked me with their rude and bad driving. I also forgive, totally and forever, all tech support people who have insulted me, stonewalled me or given me wrong information as I sought help from them on the phone. I furthermore forgive, utterly and finally, all family members and dear friends who have hurt my feelings.” Now would be a fantastic time for you to do what I just did, Leo: Drop grudges, let go of unimportant outrage, and issue a blanket amnesty. Start with the easier stuff—the complaints against strangers and acquaintances—and work your way up to the allies you cherish.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): There are some authors who both annoy me and intrigue me.

Even though I feel allergic to the uncomfortable ideas they espouse, I’m also fascinated by their unique provocations. As I read their words, I’m half-irritated at their grating declarations, yet greedy for more.

I disagree with much of what they say, but feel grudgingly grateful for the novel perspectives they prod me to discover. (Nobel Prize-winner Elias Canetti is one such author.) In

accordance with the current astrological rhythms, Virgo, I invite you to seek out similar influences—for your own good!

the past is a core of who we are, then our movement in time always brings us into a new relation to that core.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Now would be an excellent time to add new beauty to your home.

Are there works of art or buoyant plants or curious symbols that would lift your mood? Would you consider hiring a feng shui consultant to rearrange the furniture and accessories so as to enhance the energetic flow? Can you entice visits from compelling souls whose wisdom and wit would light up the place? Tweak your imagination so it reveals tricks about how to boost your levels of domestic bliss.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The Tao Te Ching is a poetically philosophical text written by a Chinese sage more than two millennia ago. Numerous authors have translated it into modern languages. I’ve borrowed from their work to craft a horoscope that is precisely suitable for you in the coming weeks. Here’s your high-class fortune cookie oracle: Smooth your edges, untangle your knots, sweeten your openings, balance your extremes, relax your mysteries, soften your glare, forgive your doubts, love your breathing, harmonize your longings and marvel at the sunny dust.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In 2017, you will have unprecedented opportunities to re-imagine, revise and reinvent the story of your life. You’ll be able to forge new understandings about your co-stars and reinterpret the meanings of crucial plot twists that happened once upon a time. Now check out these insights from author Mark Doty: “The past is not static, or ever truly complete; as we age we see from new positions, shifting angles.

A therapist friend of mine likes to use the metaphor of the kind of spiral stair that winds up inside a lighthouse. As one moves up that stair, the core at the center doesn’t change, but one continually sees it from another vantage point; if

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I recently discovered Tree of Jesse, a painting by 20th-century artist Marc Chagall. I wanted to get a copy to hang on my wall. But as I scoured the Internet, I couldn’t find a single business that sells prints of it. Thankfully, I did locate an artist in Vietnam who said he could paint an exact replica. I ordered it, and was pleased with my new objet d’art. It was virtually identical to Chagall’s original. I suggest you meditate on taking a metaphorically similar approach, Capricorn. Now is a time when substitutes may work as well as what they replace.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “It is often safer to be in chains than to be free,” wrote Franz Kafka. That fact is worthy of your consideration in the coming weeks, Aquarius. You can avoid all risks by remaining trapped inside the comfort that is protecting you. Or you can take a gamble on escaping, and hope that the new opportunities you attract will compensate you for the sacrifice it entails. I’m not here to tell you what to do. I simply want you to know what the stakes are.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “All pleasures are in the last analysis imaginary, and whoever has the best imagination enjoys the most pleasure.” So said 19th century German novelist Theodor Fontane, and now I’m passing his observation on to you. Why? Because by my astrological estimates, you Pisceans will have exceptional imaginations in 2017—more fertile, fervent and freedom-loving than ever before.

Therefore, your capacity to drum up pleasure will also be at an all-time high. There is a catch, however. Your imagination, like everyone else’s, is sometimes prone to churning out superstitious fears. To take maximum advantage of its bliss-inducing potential, you will have to be firm about steering it in positive directions.

PAGE BREAK $GYLFH IRU WKRVH RQ WKH YHUJH ASTROLOGICAL?

DEAR MINERVA, I have a friend who constantly dogs on my religion. I am a person of faith but I also question some teachings and have remained open to other people’s ideas. This friend makes it a point to declare my beliefs as incorrect while simultaneously talking about their own hardcore belief in astrology. I don’t put my friend down or try to criticize their beliefs. What can I do?

Sincerely, —SagiWARYus

DEAR SAGIWARYUS, Belief versus non-belief is a war as old as time. This is one example of why religion has traditionally been off limits for polite conversation. The problem here is that there is no way to have a successful argument about it. No one comes out triumphant because our beliefs, on either side, are ours to have. Your friend sounds pretty judgmental. There are many sources that refute astrology and horoscopes. Many religions also forbid them. My advice to you is to tell your friend that topics of faith are off limits because you value their friendship and, since your friend can’t respect your faith, your friendship’s survival depends on making it an “Area 51” topic. My own belief is that we all have to get through this life the best way we can. Sometimes, believing in something is all we have to cling on to. It doesn’t matter to me if that belief is God, Allah, astrology, etc. If it is helping (not hurting) people on their journeys, we should respect that path. Why fight over semantics?

MUSHER’S SECRET This winter has already proven to be one of the most severe on record—and it has been particularly tough on pets. We have discovered something that can help, though: Musher’s Secret.

Invented in the early 1990s for sled dogs trekking through the frigid Northwest Territories of Canada, Musher’s Secret is a salve made of 100 percent natural waxes and Vitamin E. It creates a barrier to Musher’s Secret protect pooches’ paws from harsh condi60 grams $15; 200 tions—especially the de-icing chemicals and grams $20, 1 lb. $30 salt used on sidewalks and roads.

Available at your favorite pet supply The real secret is Musher’s isn’t just for store and online at wintertime use. In the summer, scorching musherssecret.net sidewalks can be equally tough on pets’ pads, and Musher’s can help prevent drying and painful cracking. Rather than wait to slather it on before you let the dogs out, rub on a thin layer of Musher’s daily, using the natural heat from your hand to soak it in.

Now that’s unconditional love.
