EDITOR’S NOTE A FULL MENU Up first in this week’s Boise Weekly, we have a provocative story from a new BW contributor Hayden Seder, titled “#SafeOutside.” An active climber and hiker, Hayden drills into what she says is the often-overlooked #MeToo movement in outdoor recreation. In her story, Hayden introduces us to women who have experienced tangible fears while hiking or camping solo. “I felt something that I have never felt before in the great outdoors,” said one lifetime recreator. Find Hayden’s must-read story on page 6. Up next, I have a conversation with Andrew Cosentino, the new president of Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise. On page 7, we chat about the Cosentino clan’s deep roots in healthcare (there are no fewer than six doctors in the family), the hospital’s unique intersection of faith and healing, and Cosentino’s own health crisis 21 years ago. We hope you’ve left some room this week for something tasty. On page 8 BW food guru Lex Nelson takes us along on her visit to McCall’s Shore Lodge, where some of the region’s top chefs recently competed in the “Culinary King of the Mountain” competition. For the Chopped-style challenge, each of the expert chefs was paired with a small team of amateur cooks. Now, that sounds as intriguing as it does delicious. On page 10 I’ve got a preview of the new film Transit, an alluring puzzle from one of Germany’s best new directors, Christian Petzold. In a modern adaptation of Anna Seghers’ 1944 novel of the same name, Transit shifts the original World War II-era story to the present-day dilemma of the European refugee crisis. And I have another screen feature for you on page 15. Prior to its Friday, April 12, screening at Boise’s Egyptian Theatre, I preview Bamboo and Barbed Wire, an affecting new film about the Minidoka internment camp and its ever-present relevance to the 21st century. —George Prentice, Editor

SUBMIT Boise Weekly is proud to publish local art on our cover each week, but
submissions for cover space are currently closed due to an overwhelmingly positive response from local artists that has filled up our roster through September. We plan to reopen submissions on Thursday, August 1, for cover slots beginning in October. When submissions reopen, one stipulation of publication is that the piece must be donated to BW’s annual charity art auction in October. A portion of the proceeds from the auction are reinvested in the local arts community through a series of private grants for which all artists are eligible to apply. Cover artists will also receive 30 percent of the final auction bid on their pieces. Additionally, a portion of the proceeds support our journalistic mission. To submit your artwork for the cover, bring it to BWHQ at 523 Broad St. on Wednesdays or Thursdays. All original works are accepted. Thirty days from your submission date, your work will be ready for pickup if it’s not chosen to be featured on the cover. Work not picked up within six weeks of submission will be discarded.
