For this week’s issue I spent some time chatting with Byron Folwell and Rachel Reichert. He’s a designer/architect at Boisebased Studio Maelstrom, and she’s the cultural sites manager at the Boise City Department of Arts and History. Together, they’ve toiled on the much-anticipated revitalization of the residence at 5015 Eugene Street, better known as The Castle House, in advance of a monthlong celebration of enigmatic Idaho artist James Castle. The festivities will include the grand opening of the house, where Castle crafted artwork that now hangs at the Whitney Museum of Art of American Art in New York City and the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. (pages 6 and 7).

Speaking of history, I also have an exclusive report on how the owners of the Boise bookstore Rediscovered Books will soon take over operations of Rainbow Books on State Street (page 6), and you can read my dicussion with Gene Peacock, the new Zoo Boise director, on the Friday, April 6, groundbreaking for the zoo’s Gorongosa Park exhibit on page 13.

In music news, Harrison Berry reports on the recent appearances of the always-provocative band Pussy Riot and musician/ activist Lido Pimienta—known for asking her audience to allow LGBTQ attendees and women of color to come closer to the stage—at Treefort 2018 (page 13).

Finally, Lex Nelson visits a new Garden City winery, Par Terre, owned and operated by former professional dancers Mallory and Travis Walker (page 18) and a new College of Idaho art exhibition (page 16). Find all this and more in the following pages.

OPINION

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

MAIL/OPINION ROILED AT RISCH On November 13, 2013, according to Federal Election Commission records, Idaho U.S. Sen. Jim Risch met with three lobbyists from Mercury Public Affairs: Vin Weber, Ed Kutler and Michael McSherry. They were lobbying on behalf of the European Centre for a Modern Ukraine, a “think tank” set up by Paul Manafort and Rick Gates to front for Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovych and his pro-Russia Party of Regions.

On December 4, 2013, Weber, Kutler and McSherry each contributed $1,000 to the Jim Risch for U.S. Senate Committee. In early 2014, Mercury was reimbursed for the lobbyists’ contributions with funds laundered through the ECFMU, which can be traced back to Ukrainian/ Russian oligarchs.

U.S. law prohibits elected officials from receiving campaign contributions from foreign nationals, or contributions made by one person in the name of another. As a member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, Risch must be particularly aware of these restrictions, yet he accepted the money.

Risch is said to be in line to chair this committee. Should someone who took $3,000 from questionable sources through Paul Manafort’s straw-donor scheme be allowed to assume a seat once occupied with integrity by Idaho’s Frank Church and Arkansas’ William Fulbright?

ANDRUS VS. RISCH In the final hours before the budget deadline, the U.S. Congress attempted to pass

an omnibus spending bill to keep the federal government running, but Idaho GOP Sen. Jim Risch stalled the bill March 22, when he insisted on removing a provision renaming thousands of acres of Central Idaho wilderness the Cecil D. Andrus-White Clouds Wilderness. Risch and the late Andrus, who served 14 years as Idaho Governor and four years as the U.S. Secretary of Interior, had a history of political friction. In the end, the bill passed with the provision intact, and was signed into law by President Donald Trump.

Governor Andrus’ mark upon this state is indelible and he served his country and Idaho with foresight, integrity and charm. It’s unfortunate that Sen. Risch’s vision is too narrow to recognize Governor Andrus’ stature and contributions to our state. History will show which of them will be remembered as a great Idahoan and which will not.

—Dave Bieter, Boise Mayor Congressman Simpson is truly pleased that his language to name the White Clouds after Gov. Andrus was signed into law today.

Former Gov. Cecil Andrus is extremely deserving of such honor and distinction.

—Nick Wallace, Press Secretary for Idaho Congressman Mike Simpson The elected representatives from District 19 are perplexed over Sen. Risch’s divisive move to hold up an appropriations bill to keep the United States government functioning in an effort to forestall this honor for Gov. Andrus. We thank Congressman Simpson for his nonpar-

OUTRAGE OVER HB 638 AND SB 1234 On March 22, Governor C.L. “Butch” Otter signed House Bill 638, also known as the Abortion Complications Reporting Act, into law. The new law will require providers to report a number of medical conditions, including conditions that have no relationship to abortions, such as breast cancer, a missed ectopic pregnancy or having the placenta covering the cervix in a future pregnancy.

Additionally, Otter signed into law Senate Bill 1243, which requires providers to inform patients of where they can obtain assistance in reversing a medication abortion.

Governor Otter, your decision to sign immoral and likely unconstitutional bills is irresponsible and abhorrent.

Together, this legislation shows that Idaho politicians are committed to putting every barrier possible between a woman and her legal health care. These bills shouldn’t have passed in the first place as they have no basis in science and medicine. We deserve more.

The State of Idaho recently defended itself against two politically motivated abortion restrictions in court and lost....Why Idaho legislators and the Governor decided to risk yet another costly lawsuit by passing legally questionable laws like HB 638 and SB 1243 is unclear and foolish.

The bottom line is that politicians should never come between a woman and her doctor, but they seem committed to doing just that.

If all goes as planned, Rediscovered will take over operations of Rainbow on Sunday, April 1.

REDISCOVERED BOOKS BRANCHES OUT WITH PURCHASE OF RAINBOW BOOKS Rainbows are a scientific phenomenon caused by the reflection, refraction and dispersion of light, and usually show up after stormy weather. Much like its namesake, Rainbow Books, the secondhand bookstore on State Street, has weathered the storm of its sale and will emerge with doors open to a bright future. The new owners, who also own Rediscovered Books on Eighth Street, plan to keep Rainbow Books operational as they integrate it into their business.

“We actually had started talking about purchasing a second location. We spent a lot of time last year looking at different places,” said Laura DeLaney who, who owns Rediscovered along with her husband Bruce. “Then, by happenstance, we heard that Rainbow was available. It was the right decision for a lot of reasons.”

Rainbow opened its doors in 1977, and Laurie Deines purchased the store in 1989, adding bookshelves handcrafted by her husband and eventually filling the store to the brim with literature. If all goes as planned, Rediscovered will take over operations of Rainbow on Sunday, April 1.

“I don’t think many people knew Rainbow was for sale,” said DeLaney. “We couldn’t be happier about keeping their tradition alive.

The first thing I really want to do is to spend time getting to know the people who are the community of Rainbow.”

The DeLaneys’ purchase includes the twostory building at 1310 State St., built in 1956, and its full inventory. DeLaney could only guess at how many books are still on shelves there.

“I think it’s 26,000 books. One of our first projects will be to find out what’s there. It’s a really large project, but it’s also a bit like Christmas,” she said.

DeLaney said it was crucial to keep longtime Rainbow Books employee Julia Rose behind the counter at the State Street store, and added that she plans to have Rose alternate with current Rediscovered staff at the Eighth Street location to learn about the culture and customer base of each store.

“Boise has been very good to Rediscovered.

We like to think that keeping Rainbow open is being good to Boise,” said DeLaney.

THE LEGACY OF JAMES CASTLE: THE MAN, THE MYSTERY AND NOW THE LANDMARK Boise prepares for a celebration of the enigmatic artist GEORGE PRENTICE A unique team of architects, designers and historians—think of them as something akin to The Avengers minus the capes, superpowers and melodrama—is tackling one of the most ambitious preservation challenges in Boise history.

“The city has never done anything like this before. In fact, no one in the state of Idaho has done anything like this before,” said Rachel Reichert, Cultural Sites Manger for Boise City Department of Arts and History.

“This” began when the city purchased a ramshackle cottage at 5015 Eugene St. in 2015, intending to restore and preserve it. The tiny abode is known as the Castle House, named for the artist James Castle, who lived there from 1931 to 1977. Castle, one of seven children, was born in September 1899, two months premature. Profoundly deaf, he mainly communicated through art, using soot, spit and pigments squeezed from saturated crepe paper to create likenesses of buildings and landscapes. Largely eschewing brushes and pencils, he fashioned tools from discarded sticks and broken fountain pens, but it wasn’t until Castle was in his 50s that his work was recognized as extraordinary.

The national attention came on the heels of a visit from his nephew, Bob Beach, a student at the Museum Art School in Portland, Oregon, at the time. When Beach returned to Portland, he brought tales of his uncle’s unique creations to his professors. Exhibitions and receptions across

the Pacific Northwest soon followed, and the popularity of Castle’s work continued to grow through the 1960s and ’70s. Following Castle’s death in 1977, interest in his art intensified, but his relatives, finding the demands for more access overwhelming, decided to keep the collection out of the public eye for two decades.

In the 1990s, a rare exhibition of Castle’s work at the Outsider Art Fair in New York City took the Manhattan art scene by storm, inspiring international exhibitions as far away as Madrid, Spain, and Venice, Italy.

“Today, when you’re talking to a stranger about James Castle, it doesn’t take too long to get their interest when you remind them his work hangs in the Smithsonian and The Whitney Museum of American Art,” said Reichert.

“That always sparks the conversation.”

Reichert and her colleagues at Boise City Hall have been working closely with Boisebased Studio Maelstrom—specialists in architecture, residential design and public art—to bring life back to the Castle House. Studio Maelstrom principal Byron Folwell, said he has worked on a wide range of high-profile architectural and public art projects for the past 15 years, but nothing has excited him more than the Castle House.

“I grew up here, and if you were lucky enough to have a particularly hip art teacher, you may have been introduced to James Castle’s

work,” said Folwell. “For me, that began in junior high.”

For many, the Castle House has been a long-standing mystery. The fact that in his later years Castle spent most of his days in the shed and trailer just outside the main house only added to its legend. To say the home, trailer and shed have fallen into disrepair over the years is a major understatement.

“It’s a miracle that the shed is even standing, considering the brutal winters that it endured,” said Folwell.

The Department of Arts and History had a keen interest in preserving the Castle House, and in 2015 the city purchased the property for $200,000, following a marathon year and a half of negotiations. Though a milestone for the department, that purchase was only the beginning of a project that has since transformed the site into a destination celebrating Castle’s legacy. So far, the cost of the renovation has been nearly $1.5 million, and a monthlong celebration is planned in April for its grand opening.

In anticipation of the event, which will include a four-day symposium (Wednesday, April 25, to Saturday, April 28), on Castle entitled “A Place Called Home” and culminate with the Castle House debut on April 28, Boise Weekly sat down with Folwell and Reichert to talk about the project.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

The James Castle House has been a puzzle for many of us. Is it fair to say it was a bit of a mess?

Reichert: When we purchased the property, the first six months of my job was to literally clean the house—with extreme care. For the next year and a half, Byron and I were a two-person team, researching the house and really trying to understand the bones about that space. Quite frankly, when the city purchased the property, the house didn’t resemble anything the Castles would have known when James lived there.

So, is it your intention to turn back the clock or to create something new that preserves the memory of James Castle?

Reichert: It’s so complex, because there’s really no template to turn to for this type of preservation. Very soon, our thoughts turned to the view of the house. What was it like in the 1930s, ’40s or ’50s to stand on that corner of Eugene and Castle [streets, the latter named for the artist] and see this home with a lovely lawn?

Folwell: We’ve had this unique opportunity to be organic about the process and to identify what we had with some real investigative, historical work. We’re not talking about Victorian architectural language here. This is the architectural language of the working class. This house started its life as a one-room gabled structure, only about 12 feet wide and 26 feet long. This little building was never intended to last so long, but in the intervening years, the home changed to meet the challenges of the family. All those changes become elements of storytelling.

where we believe James Castle lived and worked from 1932 to about 1963. When the family bought a trailer, Castle worked and lived there until his passing in 1977.

I’ve heard the shed is in poor condition.

Folwell: Very poor. It currently has a dirt floor, and it has never been winterized. We have to view the shed as a piece of art rather than a piece of architecture.

Reichert: Byron and I have been grappling with what to do. Do we replace all of the shed’s rotten boards? Do we put it on a new foundation?

It’s our goal to work with ARG Conservation Services from San Francisco. They have a lot of experience on projects with similar challenges.

They’ll be here in Boise in a couple of weeks to build an assessment and treatment plan.

Folwell: There are layers and layers and layers of wallpaper, cardboard, other papers and even some sheetrock stuffing the walls of the shed. Like I said, it’s more art than architecture.

Paint me a word picture o how I might spend a couple of hours visiting the newly-renovated Castle House once it’s open to the public.

Reichert: Right out of the gate, it will be an interactive experience. We’ll have daily tours walking through the home, the grounds, even the shed, learning about James Castle and the history of the site. It’s an amazing, deep dive into early architecture. For instance, we found up to 13 wallpaper patterns on the walls. Plus, we’ll have some special artifacts on loan from the James Castle Collection and Archive.

Let’s not forget someone will once again be Let’s talk about the shed and trailer. living in the Castle House, at least temporarily.

Folwell: The shed is still on the property. The Reichert: That’s right. [With] our artist-intrailer has been moved to a storage unit, waiting residence program, an artist will be living there in for treatment.

Reichert: The shed is a small wooden structure May, June and July. We’re looking at applications

right now. I give a lot of credit to Mayor [Dave] Bieter, because as soon as we committed to saving the Castle House, he said we had to create an artist-in-residence program there.

Folwell: A pocket door, sliding into the wall, will separate the residence from the rest of the house. It’s about 900 square feet: a studio bedroom, kitchenette, restroom and private artist’s entrance.

The James Castle celebration really hits its stride on Wednesday, April 25.

Reichert: Our “A Place Called Home” symposium begins with a field trip to Garden Valley and the birthplace of James Castle. The next two days, we’ll have a series of events at the Egyptian Theatre and the Linen Building. They’ll feature preservationists, scholars and artists from across the nation. Members of the Castle family will also join us on stage to share their experiences. Then the public gets its first look on Saturday, April 28, when the Castle House is officially opened, and we’ll have a neighborhood block party that same day on Eugene Street.

Folwell: When I moved away from the world of commercial architecture, I was really looking for projects that might elevate into something more meaningful or beautiful. I’m hesitant to try to pin down who James Castle was, because the sophistication of his work is seemingly endless.

And after all of this intensity, I’m okay keeping him a bit of myth in my mind for now.

Are you ready to exhale now?

Reichert: Are you kidding? We’re still inhaling. The construction is done. Now, it’s all about the programming.

Folwell: We’ve checked a lot of boxes, but we have a few more still to check. We’re very interested in the future of the shed and the trailer. We hope the public is, too.

The public will get its first tours of the James Castle House (left and center) on Saturday, April 28, when the City of Boise will also host a neighborhood block party on Eugene Street.

MARCHING TOWARD CHANGE Most of the Idaho Legislature wasn’t anywhere near the Idaho Statehouse Saturday, March 24, but any lawmaker who opposes gun control and has intentions to hold his or her office for a considerable amount of time might want to heed the warning from thousands of voters-to-be on the steps of the Capitol.

“Vote them out; vote them out; vote them out,” chanted the crowd of approximately 5,000 at the demonstration, one of hundreds of March for Our Lives rallies across the planet that day, calling for stricter controls on firearms. The history-making difference for these particular rallies is that the overwhelming number of attendees were students, not yet old enough to vote but anxious to have their say in the political arena.

“We have had enough–enough suffering, enough fear, enough pain, enough lives lost, enough childless parents and spouseless widows,” said Ryley, a senior at Capitol High School. “Enough is enough.”

The cry of “enough is enough” was repeated in at least seven similar rallies across Idaho and hundreds more across the U.S. And there was another duplicated refrain: “Register to vote and go to the polls.”

“For those men and women out there marinating in their ignorance and hypocrisy, in the pocket of the [National Rifle Association], my generation is coming and we’re just getting started,” said Ryley.

Hundreds of hand-crafted signs, most of them directed at politicians, were waved during the Boise demonstration. Some read: “Thoughts and prayers won’t save me from bullets.”

“Columbine, Newtown, Parkland. No more.”

“Your silence is killing us.”

In the days that followed, attendees of the March for Our Lives Boise rally continued to fill social media with calls to action.

“It was one of the most inspiring days of our lives,” wrote Jeffrey Fackler on the March for Our Lives Facebook page.

“This was the day that I finally felt I have truly lived,” wrote Paulina Garcia.

“It was worth the five-hour drive to Boise,” wrote Sheila Plowman.

GEARING UP FOR THE OPERA

Alternative coffee brewing methods are on the rise, and unique small-batch roasts with flavor notes like rosewater and grapefruit have been sweeping the market, bringing “coffee couture” to Boise. As many shops around town can attest, coffee can get pretty sophisticated, with brew methods ranging from the simple pour over to the more sophisticated coffee vacuum. To help coffee lovers make sense of it all, local roaster Form & Function is hosting a workshop on how to brew the best batches on multiple devices, including Aeropress and Kalita Wave, which produces an upscale version of the pour over. To sweeten the deal, your class fee includes a bag of your choice of beans to take home.

7:30 p.m., $35, Form and Function, 511 W. Broad St., 208922-7824, formandfunctioncoffee.com.

At Rediscovered Books during Books and Barks, your four-legged friend will be able to listen to a reading of Ladybug Girl and the Rescue Dogs, a story about a young girl named Lulu who embarks on a mission to find all the dogs at a pet-adoption fair loving homes.

Scout the Police Dog will also be at the event to interact with fans for photo ops and will “sign” copies the book he cameoed in, Loyal

by Rebecca Ascher-Walsh, with his paw print from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Plus, the author of Walking with Peety, Eric O’Grey, will be there for a meet and greet from noon to 2 p.m., and a Boise Bully Breeds Ambassador will make an appearance from 1-2 p.m. The event is open to the public, with all breeds and ages welcome.

Drinks, food and music make a happy marriage, and you can enjoy all three at two events put on by Opera Idaho in anticipation of its upcoming performance of Andre Previn’s A Streetcar Named Desire.

Next, the group will offer two Operatini sessions with the theme “I Want Magic” in the Sapphire Room on Thursday, March 29.

COURTESY ZOO BOISE

HARRISON BERRY

CITIZEN GENE PEACOCK The new Zoo Boise director on groundbreakings, brachiation and that name of his GEORGE PRENTICE

When Gene Peacock saw the film Raiders of the Lost Ark in the early 1980s, he knew what he wanted to do for a living.

“I thought being an archeologist was the coolest thing on the planet,” he said.

All of that changed when Peacock, while studying anthropology at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, he spent his weekends working at a nearby zoo. That turned into full-time zoo work during the summers, and he never looked back, spending nearly 30 years in and around zoos. A few weeks ago, he took over as the new director of Zoo Boise.

My apologies, but right up front, I’ve got to ask the question that you’ve probably been asked a thousand times.

What’s the deal with my last name?

Sorry, but the only Peacocks I’ve ever known were a Canadian actress and a fictional character in the Clue board game.

Let’s just say that I’ve had some fun moments with it when I’m talking with kids.

Boise had a lot of love for your predecessor Steve Burns. He was here for twenty years [Burns recently became the executive director of Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City].

I knew Steve through the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. One of the things I was so impressed with was Steve’s mission of conservation.

You’ve joined Zoo Boise at a historical turning point. Walk us through what will be happening in the coming weeks.

On Friday, April 6, we’ll break ground on our magnificent Gorongosa National Park exhibit. We’ll be stretching our footprint by another acre or acre and a half behind the current back fence of the zoo. At the same time, we’ll turn our attention to the entrance of the zoo and our front plaza. We’ll begin demolishing some of our older structures to make room for new exhibits.

Such as?

Our Annamite Mountains exhibit will give our gibbons a nice, new, modern exhibit so they’ll have room to brachiate.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Sorry, but I’ve never heard of brachiation.

That’s how gibbons and orangutans make those wild arm swings from tree limb to tree limb.

It’s called brachiation. Our new exhibit will promote more of their natural behavior to brachiate.

When will the public get its first look at all the new exhibits?

We’re shooting for summer of 2019.

I’d like to talk briefly about the recent death of Zoo Boise’s Amur tiger. It’s always heartbreaking when we hear such sad news.

We lost Katarina. Last year, she suffered a herniated disc, which resulted in paralysis of her hind legs. She underwent spinal surgery, and she had shown some signs of improvements, but then her ability to walk took a turn for the worse.

Was she showing extreme discomfort?

Wild animals hide it very well. But yes, she had significant quality of life issues.

Can I assume that there’s a detailed process that leads to a decision to euthanize?

All AZA zoos have an animal care management team, including our vet, our curators, the director and assistant director. You just don’t make these decisions easily. We got a lot of input from our keepers and talked extensively with the veterinarian who had performed the surgery. I can’t say enough about the professionalism and quality of our team. We worked through it.

Can I also assume that since many of the children who visit the zoo get to know these animals by name, and they might ask what happened to Katarina?

It’s a teaching moment, and a part of what we do. We handle it in a dignified way for the animal, while letting the public know exactly what’s going on.

You’ve worked at several zoos around the nation, so you must have a sense of how much Boise loves its zoo.

This is really a people’s zoo, a great jewel right in the middle of the city. And really affordable. A number of zoos charge admissions of $15, $20, $25 and up. We’ve got an amazing partnership with Friends of Zoo Boise, [which works] so hard to make our zoo so accessible and affordable.

Treefort Music Fest is a big umbrella for artists’ messages and activism.

A RIOT OF ACTIVISM AT TREEFORT 2018 Lido Pimienta asks audiences at her concerts to allow LGBTQ folks and women of color to come closer to the stage. The exercise has made the multimedia artist famous, casting her as both a cause celebre and a controversial figure.

“At least half the media about me is clickbait,” said the musician, who traveled to Boise for Treefort Music Fest and spoke at a March 23 Storyfort panel.

As Pimienta’s artistic stature and fame grew, so did the pressure to cultivate a more media-friendly image.

Music label representatives have asked her to sing in English rather than Spanish, lose weight and dye her hair.

She rejected those overtures, calling them attempts to lead her astray from her responsibilities and her identity as a queer Afro-Colombian, single mother and Canadian.

“I am a mom. I have a family back home to support,” she said. “I don’t just make music for fun.”

Treefort is a big umbrella, though, and the 2018 festival, which ran from March 19-25, was big enough for more than one vision of activism.

Another came from Russian feminist music and performance art collective Pussy Riot. In 2012, three of its members were jailed in Russia for hooliganism after performing a “punk prayer” at the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow. They served two years in penal colonies before being amnestied by President Vladimir Putin, and have been regularly harassed by the successor agency to the KGB, the Federal Security Service (FSB). In February, two Pussy Riot members went missing in Crimea, only to re-emerge days later, allegedly freed from FSB custody.

At its performance at El Korah Shrine on March 24, Pussy Riot invited Boise-area women known for their activism to dress in the band’s now-iconic over-the-face knit hats, skirts and safety vests, and join its members onstage.

The feminist chops of Pussy Riot have recently been

called into question, however.

One of the formerly jailed members, Maria Alyokhina, made headlines when she began dating Dmitry Enteo, a founder of the violent Russian Orthodox anti-LGBTQ group God’s Will, and another—Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, who has since taken the reins of the group—has been criticized for throwing an art exhibition at a gallery owned by Charles Saatchi, who was photographed in 2013 assaulting his then-wife.

Pussy Riot could not be reached for comment, but The Stranger in Seattle, Washington, called the disconnect between the the band’s stated ideals and the private actions of its members “disappointing incongruities.” Pimienta called it “problematic,” adding that irony and shock art do little to serve the needs of the marginalized or oppressed.

“I hope they go back to the way they were in the first place,” she said. “Activism shouldn’t be a trend.”

EILEN JEWELL, CINDER WINES, MARCH 31 Boise singer-songwriter Eilen Jewell has long been lauded for the “bluesy” hints she adds to her country, gospel and folk songs, but until her ninth and most recent release, Down Hearted Blues (Signature Sounds, 2017), she’d never recorded a full blues album.

“I’ve always had this sense of self-doubt about it,” Jewell said in her website biography. “Like, who am I to sing the blues? I’m a white girl from Idaho. I don’t know if I have a right to do that.”

Regardless of whether she has a “right” to the Deep South sound, Jewell brings plenty of skill to the table in 12 tracks— all covers of “vintage” blues hits by artists like Willie Dixon, Betty James and Charles Sheffield. From “It’s Your Voodoo Working” to “You Gonna Miss Me,” Jewell’s voice lends the album a sensual, sultry twang that overlays beats ranging from tantalizingly slow to irresistibly danceable. Stop by Cinder Wines Saturday, March 31, to hear this Idaho gem for yourself.

SUDA, SAPPHIRE ROOM, MARCH 30 Zack Quintana, Noble Holt, Kevin Littrell, Will Friend and Thomas Wilson may have an average age of 17, but they aren’t your typical boy band. Sometimes called the “Young Guns of Boise,” the five musicians hail from different musical backgrounds—14-year-old Holt, for example, plays electric guitar and prefers to jam out to classic rock, while Quintana and Wilson are both Boise Blues Society Scholarship winners with more refined styles—but they come together to deliver live per formances that the Sapphire Room promises “will keep any blues/funk/rock fan dancing in their seats and on the dance floor.”

“We’ve got a wide musical range but care about produced live music that is polished and smooth,” wrote jazz guitarist Littrell on the Facebook page for the event.

ARTS & CULTURE BRAZEN INDEED

Bryan Anthony Moore’s exhibition Brazen Bull is an outspoken critique of Trump politics LE X NEL SON L E X N E L SON

Emma Hood represented a year of her life with a grid of 365 square photos.

TIME IS FROZEN AT EMMA HOOD’S MARKING TIME EXHIBITION Displayed on one wall of the Boise State University Trueblood Gallery are 365 pictures arranged in a grid, part of Emma Hood’s new exhibition, Marking Time. The photos are 4 by 4 inches square and hang in rows of 28, with a total of 13 columns. From shots of Craigslist ads and wildlife to captured optical illusions, Hood’s snapshots represent time as a constant. Rather than showing life as a flowing stream, her pictures capture moments, presenting them as singular events. She hopes that her exhibition will inspire others to enjoy every day.

“Appreciate your milestones but also appreciate the hard and bad times,” said Hood.

Marking Time is an entire year of work, and each photo chronicles Hood’s daily experiences and encounters. Hood decided in 2016 that she would challenge herself creatively and used her iPhone to take and edit the photos. She took a photo each day and posted her pictures to her Instagram account, using the handle @hoodinthewood.

Then, she assigned each image its own name and carefully placed it in the correct sequence in her exhibition.

“As the year went on it became this series on time, questioning what photography was,” said Hood.

Hood explained that her light workload allowed her to challenge herself and to experiment with her photography. She reminisced about how her mom would praise her for her accomplishments throughout the year, drawing parallels between those accolades and some of her photos, like one that represents her new job.

Looking back at the images, she also recognized the hard or dull days. Hood said she now feels comfortable enough as an artist to show even work that she may not particularly like; this project was her way of getting through the tough times when commissions were few and far between.

“Enjoy the bad with the good and try to remember that each day you are going somewhere, you are going forward. Even if it feels like nobody cared that day,” said Hood.

Marking Time opened March 4, and is on display at BSU through Thursday, April 5.

arming manner, although he has, as you can see, very strong political feelings,” Claassen said.

Many of the animal or part-animal images Moore chose are based on exhibitions at the C of I Orma J. Smith Museum of Natural History nearby. Steve Bannon’s head, for example, is surrounded by a classification of insects, while another wall features an ostrich with its head buried in a lake of oil, meant to symbolize the GOP response to climate change.

Moore said the title of the exhibition is a nod to the brazen bull of ancient Greek myth, a bronze torture device said to have been commissioned by the Sicilian tyrant Phalaris. When the bull was placed over a fire, it would roast anyone trapped inside, and its machinery would make their screams sound like a bull’s trumpeting call.

“The irony of the story is that the people who created the bronze bull were the first ones it was tested out on,” said Moore. “So I thought, what a metaphor for the Wall Street bull and the bull market. The people who created it are now being consumed.”

Brazen Bull is still ongoing, and the gallery will be open for visitors through Saturday, April 14, when a closing ceremony will end Moore’s stint as artist in residence. Plus, for those who want to dive into the politics of the display, a reception and gallery discussion featuring C of I Political Economy Professor Jasper LiCalzi, Political Economy Assistant Professor Erin Hern and Vice President for Academic Affairs David Douglass is scheduled for Tuesday, April 3.

Oh Lucy!, a joint U.S./Japan production, received quite a bit of love at the recent Independent Spirit Awards (the indie-film Oscars), where Terajima was nominated for Best Actress and director Atsuko Hirayanagi was nominated for Best First Feature.

Terajima plays an emotionally unfulfilled woman, convinced to enroll in an unorthodox English class that requires her to wear a blonde wig and adopt an alter ego named “Lucy.”

FOOD DANCE FOR DIONYSUS

Chef Carlo Lamagna cooked up a dish inspired by his Filipino heritage.

Two former dancers open a micro-winery in Garden City LE X NEL SON

MEET ME AT THE MEAT UP “Let’s find a line and stand in it,” was a common refrain at the Foodfort Meat Up event on the night of March 22, as Treefort Music Fest enthusiasts age 21 and up poured through the flaps of the Alefort tent. The event began at 6 p.m., and the lines lengthened immediately—the one for drinks mixed by Red Feather Lounge bartenders stretched across the expansive tent pitched in parking lot of The Owyhee on Grove Street.

The Meat Up was a 225-person cocktail hour, but it was also a “fangs-out feast.” The night featured Snake River Farms meat-centered small plates from three top-notch chefs: Georgia-based Hugh Acheson, a former Top Chef judge; Portland, Oregon-based restaurateur Carlo Lamagna; and local BBQ4Life pitmaster Brad Taylor.

Taylor delivered straight-up barbecue, dishing out pecan-smoked American wagyu tri-tip; country mac and cheese; sweet, custardy bread pudding; and the standout: smokey chunks of bratwurst made in-house with kurobuta pork and tri-tip, every bite exploding with spice and grease.

Acheson’s choices were a bit more refined.

If ever a slice of steak could be described as velvety, his grilled wagyu tenderloin topped with a dab of bright green chimichurri was it.

Mustard-coated potatoes and zingy cabbage slaw added just the right amount of textual interest to the plate, while roasted carrots and a pink lady pea salad rounded out the dish.

Lamagna’s kurobuta pork spare ribs were beautifully plated on a pile of garlic-heavy rice and kale laing—a Filipino dish traditionally made with taro leaves—cooked with coconut milk and fatty chunks of smoked ham. The ribs were tender and slightly sweet, playing off the bold flavor of the rice.

For their $40 ticket, each Meat Up entrant received unlimited food and four tokens, which could be traded for glasses of wine, beers or Buffalo Trace bourbon cocktails.

The Omaha, which featured a blend of Amaro Averna (Italian bitters), lemon and honey, was the crowd favorite, as its heady, sugary punch paired well with the ribs, steak and sausage.

“I hope no vegetarians wandered in here,” said Charlene Carion, who attended the event with friends. “That would be a rude awakening.”

Driving down Chinden Boulevard through Garden City is almost like driving through a pavedover version of Napa Valley. Though the grapes aren’t grown there, wineries dot the road on both sides, filling unlikely spaces like auto body shops and converted warehouses. Par Terre, the new venture of husband and wife team Travis and Mallory Walker, is no exception—its rolling garage door, built to usher in cars, is just as welcoming to wine barrels.

The couple are both former professional ballet dancers, and joke that in switching from dancing to winemaking, they’ve somehow landed in yet another seasonal line of work.

Mallory said that for them, fermenting grapes started out as a passion project, something they brewed up in the garage of a California house they once rented with friends.

“It started small, and that first batch was not good,” Mallory said. “We had it in a few glass carboys, and it just got really hot and got ruined, but we were definitely intrigued by what could happen.”

The couple—and their one-year-old daughter Harper, who joined in on the interview—has come a long way since then. After leaving the world of professional dance behind when the Boise-based Trey McIntyre Project disbanded, Travis decided to dive head-on into winemaking, commuting to Walla Walla Community College in Washington to earn a degree in oenology and viticulture.

“It was really hands-on,” he said, describing the two-year program.

Not only did Travis learn the science of winemaking, he and his fellow students helped make two batches of Washington wine, first watching over their professors’ shoulders, then taking over the handling of the grapes. For additional experience, he interned with Indian Creek Winery in Kuna under the wing of wine guru Mike McClure.

“Ninety percent of winemaking is just cleaning, so [McClure was] like, ‘Yeah, sure, you can come out and clean!’” said Travis. “He was on board. And then when he realized I’d stuck around he was like, ‘What’s wrong with you?”

Travis had the wine bug, and so did Mallory, who spent that time earning a degree in business administration and working as an administrator with the Sunnyslope Wine Trail, where she got

a crash-course in the Idaho wine industry. With a solid educational footing in place, the couple felt secure enough to open Par Terre, taking their original five-gallon wine attempt up to the roughly 500 cases they now produce.

“The beverage scene in Garden City especially, and just in Idaho with all the wineries and breweries that have come about in the last decade, is pretty impressive,” said Travis. “It feels good to belong to that.”

The Par Terre winery space, now fully renovated, is in essence a single room, with lofty ceilings and plenty of natural light pouring through large windows. One side is utilitarian, with stacked cases of wine and a long row of wooden barrels. The other has been transformed into a stylish tasting room, complete with an island for pouring, shelves holding jewel-like bottles and a shallow bar dotted with stools where guests can sit and sip.

When the winery officially opens Thursday, April 5, it will offer four bottles priced under $30: a 2016 Merlot, a 2016 Syrah, a 2017 Rose and a 2017 Semillon. Eager tasters can also try sips of the merlot and rose (the others are still being bottled) at a soft opening Saturday, March 31, and Sunday, April 1.

On a bright day in late March, Travis poured three glasses of the 2017 Rose, a dry, crisp pour made with 100 percent Syrah grapes, and carried them over to the bar.

Seeing the glasses, little Harper bounced on Mallory’s lap and held out her sippy cup. Travis leaned in with his wine glass, clinking them

together—it was a move the pair had perfected; the baby beamed and held out her cup again.

The grapes in the rose came from Washington, Mallory said, because although the wine scene in Idaho was welcoming, the temperamental weather was not.

“Last year, the winter was pretty atrocious, so the grapes suffered. And being kind of new kids on the block there wasn’t a whole lot left,” she said.

They’d had better luck with their 2016 Merlot, securing grapes from two Idaho vineyards, Arena Valley Vineyard in Parma and Skyline Vineyards in Nampa. The finished product is unbelievably soft, with light tannins and a fruity bouquet more akin to a cabernet. In the future, the couple hopes to source nearly all local grapes, preferably from mom-and-pop wineries, and some day, the Walkers hope to own their own vineyard. The name of their winery is a term from their dance days, which roughly translates to “on the ground,” and Mallory said she sees a lot of similarities between growing grapes, making wine and dancing.

“When a winemaker makes wine, grapes come in and it’s one year, it’s one chance to make the fruit into something,” she said. “You put it in a bottle, and you don’t get to touch it again, which is kind of like a performance—you practice, and you rehearse, but you just have one performance and then it’s over … You’ve got the audience, and you can’t see them always, and you don’t know how they’re going to experience it. It’s kind of a magical thing.”

PAGE BREAK MINERVA’S BREAKDOWN $GYLFH IRU WKRVH RQ WKH YHUJH WINE NOT! DEAR MINERVA, I recently had an acquaintance that came over to my house.

He was celebrating a big change in his life, along with a few other mutual friends. He proceeded to get very drunk. Finally it was clear that he should not drive. He didn’t have Uber or Lyft and he lived too far for me to pay for it or risk the cleanup fees should he vomit. I offered him the couch. About 45 minutes later, I heard him vomiting—all over my vintage sofa. How do I get red wine stains out of upholstery?

Sincerely, Caber-NAY!

DEAR NAY, I’m so sorry that your guest...unswallowed...all over your sofa. To guests like that, I say, “Merlot You Go!” I certainly hope you found something that worked and aren’t eagerly awaiting my reply. I have encountered this issue in the past (sometimes accidents happen). I have a quick solution. Using a clean cloth (preferably white to monitor your progress) dab the wine spill with a mixture of 1 tablespoon liquid dishwashing soap, such as Dawn, 1 tablespoon white vinegar and two cups of club soda.

Adjust these measurements as needed depending on the size of the stain. This should help get the wine out of normal upholstery. If you have a different kind of sofa or speciality fabric, you might do some additional research. I have successfully used this method to get red wine out of vintage velour. If you have the funds, consult a professional. Cheers, sweetie!

FIND NEW FLAVORS OF MARSHMALLOW PEEPS Depending on how you feel about stuffing your mouth with a ball of sugar, the news that there are several new flavors of Peeps this Easter will either send you running to the limited number of retailers selling the signature Peeps or trigger an episode of marshmallow madness.

The history of Peeps dates back to the 1950s, when Pennsylvania-based Just Born began pushing out masses of marshmallow chicks. The traditional colors were pink, white and yellow, with new flavors like vanilla, strawberry and chocolate following years later.

This Easter, Peeps is adding several new flavors: fruit punch, sour cherry, sour watermelon, party cake, pancake and syrup (sold exclusively at the Kroger’s family of stores) and Neapolitan chicks, filled with chocolate and strawberry (sold only at Target). Plus, Walmart is selling three different packages of what it calls “mystery” flavored peeps. The general consensus on social media is that mystery No. 1 is root beer, No. 2 is lemon-lime and No. 3 is raspberry.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): A few years ago, a New Zealander named Bruce Simpson announced plans to build a cruise missile at his home using parts he bought legally from eBay and other online stores. In accordance with current astrological omens, I suggest you initiate a comparable project. For example, you could arrange a do-it-yourself space flight by tying a thousand helium balloons to your lawn chair. April Fool! I lied. Please don’t try lunatic schemes like the helium balloon space flight. Here’s the truth: Now is a favorable time to initiate big, bold projects, but not foolish, big, bold projects. The point is to be both visionary and practical.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The Finnish word kalsarikannit means getting drunk at home alone in your underwear and binging on guilty pleasures. It’s a perfect time for you to do just that. The Fates are whispering, “Chill out. Vegetate. Be ambitionless.” April Fool! I told a half-truth.

In fact, now is a perfect time to excuse yourself from trying too hard and doing too much. You can accomplish wonders and marvels by staying home and bingeing on guilty pleasures in your underwear, but there’s no need to get drunk.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Actor Gary Busey is sure there are no mirrors in heaven. He has other specific ideas about the place, as well. This became a problem when he was filming the movie Quigley, in which his character Archie visits heaven. Busey was so enraged at the director’s mistaken rendering of paradise that he got into a fist fight with another actor. I hope you will show an equally feisty fussiness in the coming weeks, Gemini.

April Fool! I lied, sort of. On the one hand, I do hope you’ll be forceful as you insist on expressing your high standards. Don’t back down! On the other hand, refrain from pummeling anyone who asks you to compromise.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In the Scots language still spoken in parts of Scotland, eedle-doddles are people who can’t summon initiative when it’s crunch time. They are so consumed in trivial or irrelevant concerns that they lose all instinct for being in the right place at the right time. I regret to inform you that you are now at risk of being an eedle-doddle. April Fool! I lied. In fact, the truth is just the opposite. I have rarely seen you so well-primed to respond vigorously and bravely to Big Magic Moments. For the foreseeable future, you are King or Queen of Carpe Diem.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Paul McCartney likes to periodically act like a regular person who’s not a famous musician. He goes grocery shopping without

bodyguards. He rides on public transportation and strikes up conversations with random strangers.

I think you may need to engage in similar behavior yourself, Leo. You’ve become a bit too enamored with your own beauty and magnificence. You really do need to come down to earth and hang out more with us little people.

April Fool! I lied. The truth is, now is prime time to hone your power and glory; to indulge your urge to shine and dazzle; to be as conspicuously marvelous as you dare to be.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The coming days will be an excellent time to concoct an alchemical potion that will heal your oldest wounds. For best results, mix and sip a gallon of potion using the following magic ingredients: absinthe, chocolate syrup, cough medicine, dandelion tea, cobra venom, and worm’s blood. April Fool! I mixed a lie in with a truth.

It is a fact that now is a fine time to seek remedies for your ancient wounds, but the potion I recommended is bogus. Go on a quest for the real cure.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I expect you will soon receive a wealth of exotic and expensive gifts. For example, a benefactor may finance your vacation to a gorgeous sacred site or give you the deed to an enchanted waterfall. I won’t be surprised if you’re blessed with a solid-gold bathtub or a year’s supply of luxury cupcakes. It’s even possible that a sugar daddy or sugar momma will fork over $500,000 to rent an auditorium for a party in your honor. April Fool! I distorted the truth. I do suspect you’ll get more goodies than usual in the coming weeks, but they’re likely to come in the form of love and appreciation, not flashy material goods.

(For best results, don’t just wait around for the goodies to stream in; ask for them!)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): There’s a narrow waterway between Asia and Europe. In the fifth century B.C., Persian King Xerxes had two bridges built across it so he could invade Greece with his army, but a great storm swept through and smashed his handiwork. Xerxes was royally peeved. He ordered his men to whip the uncooperative sea and brand it with hot irons, all the while shouting curses at it, like “You are a turbid and briny river.” I recommend that you do something similar, Scorpio.

Has nature done anything to inconvenience you? Show it who’s the supreme boss! April Fool! I lied. The truth is, now is an excellent time for you to become more attuned and in love with a higher power, however you define that.

What’s greater than you and bigger than your life and wilder than you can imagine? Refine your practice of the art of surrender.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Fifteenth-century Italian painter Filippo Lippi was such a lustful womanizer that he sometimes found it tough to focus on making art. At one point, his wealthy and politically powerful patron Cosimo de’ Medici, frustrated by his extracurricular activities, imprisoned him in his studio to ensure he wouldn’t get diverted.

Judging from your current astrological omens, Sagittarius, I suspect you need similar constraints. April Fool! I fibbed a little. I am indeed worried you’ll get so caught up in the pursuit of pleasure that you’ll neglect your duties, but I won’t go so far as to suggest you should be locked up for your own good.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Now is a favorable time to slap a lawsuit on your mom in an effort to make her pay for the mistakes she made while raising you. You could also post an exposé on social media in which you reveal her shortcomings, or organize a protest rally outside her house with your friends holding signs demanding she apologize for how she messed you up. April Fool!

Everything I just said was ridiculous and false. The truth is, now is a perfect moment to meditate on the gifts and blessings your mother gave you. If she is still alive, express your gratitude to her. If she has passed on, do a ritual to honor and celebrate her.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian author Alice Walker won a Pulitzer Prize for her novel The Color Purple. She has also published 33 other books and built a large audience, but some of her ideas are not exactly mainstream. For example, she says one of her favorite authors is David Icke, who asserts that intelligent extraterrestrial reptiles have disguised themselves as humans and taken control of our planet’s governments. I bring this to your attention, because I think it’s time that you, too, reveal the full extent of how crazy you really are. April Fool! I half-lied. While it’s true now is a favorable time to show more of your unconventional and eccentric sides, I don’t advise you to go full-on whacko.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Warning! Danger! You are at risk of contracting a virulent case of cherophobia! What exactly is cherophobia? It’s a fear of happiness. It’s an inclination to dodge and shun joyful experiences because of the suspicion that they will disappoint you or cause bad luck. Please do something to stop this insidious development.

April Fool! I lied. The truth is that you are currently more receptive to positive emotions and delightful events than you’ve been in a log time. There’s less than a one-percent chance you will fall victim to cherophobia.
