EDITOR’S NOTE
I’LL SEE YOUR TED LASSO AND RAISE YOU
A POLLYANNA OCTOBER 16 & 17
Last week over cocktails with friends, I mentioned that I tend
to be a Pollyanna type.
After noting the blank look on their faces, I said: You know
what that is, right?
Get lost in the music.
Blank. Blink. No. I’m thinking not many of you reading this
right now know about Pollyanna either so here’s a short explain-
Find serenity.
er. Pollyanna was a cheerful girl with a sunny disposition, about
12 years old, who had to go live with her Aunt Polly because
her missionary parents died (not sure how). Aunt Polly was a
curmudgeon and rolled her eyes a lot around Pollyanna. Polly-
anna taught everybody in town how to play “The Glad Game,” a
challenge to always find something to be glad about even in the
midst of darkness. It’s a Disney movie featuring young Hayley
Mills as the endlessly positive Pollyanna and Jane Wyman as her
The Shape
dour guardian so you can imagine how it all ends. Little Jimmy
Corcoran plays Pollyanna’s chum Jimmy Bean, my first movie
crush. I encourage you, one and all, to give it a watch and I dare
you not to cry. Don’t worry, they’ll be ‘glad’ tears.
I suppose today’s equivalent would be to claim Ted Lasso
of Water
status or maybe even David (Dan Levy) from “Schitt$s Creek.”
The point is, we’ve been in such a dark time for what seems
like well, a really long while. And so, by trying to find the bright
side of things — cup half full, the silver lining — by embracing
and playing with abandon The Glad Game, maybe it can be that Eric Garcia conductor
thing that comes true, if you pretend it is long enough.

OPINION
SAVIORS AND SIMPLETONS
By BILL COPE
Early in the morning of January 21, during the dead-
liest surge for Idaho — until now — of the pandemic, I
awoke unable to draw a decent breath. I do have COPD,
but never before had I had anything like this happen.
By 2:30, I’d given up on sleep and was out of bed.
Breathing had become progressively more difficult.
My wife would not take this news calmly, so I was
careful not to wake her. (It was stupid that I tried to
keep Rebeca from knowing, but I now believe my
brain was not operating at peak performance that
night, given the distressing shortage of oxygen.) She
didn’t get up until 6:45, and by then, I was gasping so
strenuously that every muscle in my torso felt like it
had gone through a taffy twister.
Seeing I was already awake and dressed, Rebeca start-
ed asking questions. I shushed her. I simply didn’t have
the air for discussion. When I huffed out what was hap-
pening, her reaction was exactly what I’d been dreading.
Before I even finished the sentence, “I can’t breath,” she’d
concluded it was COVID. As had I.
Minutes later, we were on our way to the emergency
room. The staff could see I was in trouble the mo-
ment we entered the building. I was gently yet forci-
bly pulled backwards into a wheelchair before either
Rebeca or I had time to say much of anything. I so
vividly picture the terror in her face as I was wheeled
away, given the distinct possibility we were seeing
each other for the last time.
I was raced down a corridor, at the end of which
gathered a platoon of anonymous figures in full pan-
demic battle gear. It was obvious they didn’t want their
skin touching mine. I was their nightmare become
manifest. I’m certain they were certain COVID had
again come to call.
Still, like ants on an invading predator, they swarmed
me: blood drawn, IV installed, electrodes glued to my
chest, ventilator strapped to my face, all while reassuring

me in calm tones, “You’ll be okay.” Someone swabbed my
nostrils, digging for the devil we all thought had set up
residence in my body. As frightened of my touch as they
were, it was also clear they were determined to do every-
thing within their power to stop me from suffocating.
Three hours later, I was declared COVID-free. Layers
of PPE peeled off and I could finally see the faces of
those people who had fought like berserkers to keep
me alive. I left the hospital 36 hours later, thinking how
fortunate we are to have these people amongst us, ready
and able.
And here we are now, nine months later. Those same
people, no matter the name painted on their hospital’s
door, are fighting harder than ever. So desperately are
they fighting — and so often are they losing the fight —
that most will suffer for a lifetime a PTSD peculiar to
the horror they are experiencing. And most distressing
is the fact they are damaging their own psyches to save
people who did so damn little to save themselves. From
a wretched stew of stupefying ignorance, the most insid-
ious of lies and most evil of motives, has arisen a plague
of vicious cretins so stunted with rage and fear, misin-
formation and spite, that they have turned upon the very
people struggling to keep their dumb asses alive.
Also being targeted are school administrators trying
to prevent COVID spreading like headlice through their
student bodies, business owners who don’t want their
customers or employees imperiled, and any political
leader bold enough to denounce the ludicrous intransi-
gence of this infantile minority.
But harassing health workers, those who grapple with
the disease hand-to-hand, seems to me the lowest of
blows. The AP reports that in communities around Ida-
ho, hospital personnel fear appearing in public in scrubs
because belligerent locals accuse them of inflating the
seriousness of what that moron mob still considers “fake
news.” Doctors and nurses have actually been accused
of killing patients so as to exaggerate the danger. An
(alleged) medico who discourages vaccinations has
been installed on the Central Health District. All this,
while the state imports mobile morgues to deal with the
soaring death toll.
By now, we know we can’t depend on our state leaders
for any meaningful relief. Those political demagogues
who aren’t actively involved in fomenting the crisis —
you know who they are: McGeachin, Bundy, the Idaho
Freedom Foundation, just to get started — have proven
themselves too cowardly to be of any real use. (Thinking
of you, Brad.)
Since it is now largely the anti-mask, anti-vax stoops
we are losing, one is tempted to shrug with feigned
concern and declare, “Well, we tried, eh?” Yet the health
workers don’t ask the person being raced into an ICU
if he had the sense to get vaccinated. They don’t ask,
while intubating a terrified Truther, if he got his medical
advice from a highly-trained professional, or a YouTube
video. They don’t ask the patient if he believes he’s suffo-
cating from a real, actual thing, or a politically-motivat-
ed hoax. They just carry on, until they no longer can.
It’s futile to waste any more breath trying to change
the minds of those whose minds are incapable of
change. Yet for the liars, fools and frauds who led their
own followers into this abyss, it’s past time for account-
ability. If the criminal system does not act, perhaps
the civil system can deliver justice. After all, if Alex
Jones can be sued for spewing lies about a grade school
slaughter (Sandy Hook), or if a voting machine supplier
(Dominion) can sue the criminals who’ve lied America
into a Constitutional crisis, or if Purdue Pharma, killing
thousands with their oxycodone lies, can be litigated,
then surely, the monsters who continue to lie about this
disease and its remedies can be made to answer for so
much needless carnage.

 PADDLES UP! PART II
The conversation continues — a Q&A with BW cover artists
By JEANNE HUFF
Last week in Boise Weekly, you met
some of the artists taking part in this
year’s cover auction. This year is our
20th anniversary and the auction will
continue for one more week, culminat-
ing on Wednesday, Oct. 20.
Yes, that means you still have time to
bid and take home some sweet, original
art created by one of our talented local
artists—or two or three... or more.
These artists deserve our love. Their
art on the BW cover is a symbol to
everyone in the Treasure Valley that art
lives here. That art is valued here. Their
art on the BW cover is truly an honor —
not every submission winds up on the
cover, far from it. To be selected as a BW
cover artist is a proud moment, a medal
of honor, a way to nurture one’s artistic
endeavors or to create some buzz.
In addition to being on the cover,
artists’ original works are digitized by
Evermore Prints and framed by Van
Dyke Frame Design, all in anticipation
of the annual cover auction.
Over the past two years, the auction
has been taking place virtually, online
through Auction Frogs. For two weeks
— Oct. 6 to Oct. 20 — a year’s worth of
BW cover art is available for bidding.
Bonus: There is also a poster featuring
JACEY PETERSON /
“KEEP ‘EM COMMIN”

all covers available for purchase on the
Auction Frogs website: boiseweekly.
afrogs.org and you can get note cards of
your fave(s) there as well.
Know this: Not only does your money
help line the artist’s pocket, it also goes
into the Boise Weekly Cover Art Auc-
tion Grant fund. This grant has provided
more than $250,000 to fuel dozens of
artists and art projects.
So now that you see what good the
auction can do — and will do next year
and beyond — let’s finish that conversa-
tion we started last week with some of
this year’s cover artists.
Who or what inspires you — and why?
Nikki Russo: Nature is a major in-
spiration for me. It’s uninhibited and
raw. It can be quiet, simplistic, loud,
harsh, calm, intoxicating, and I when
I paint, I truly go into a dream state
often “seeing things” on a board or
canvas before I ever lay my paintbrush
or palette knife on a surface and this
is usually after I have gone for a long
walk in nature. Other artist inspire me
too! We are such a diverse bunch of
humans and it’s amazing to see how
each person sees the world around
them and inside them by creating
amazing art!
DAVE THOMAS /
“MARDD20”
Dave Thomas: I’m inspired by fellow
artists, some I know personally and
others I just know their work. To name a
few ... Martin Puryear, Chris Wool, Mark
di Suvero, Alice Neel, Alfred Leslie, Ron
Gorchov, Juan Miro.
Jacey Peterson: I feel fortunate to
have so much inspiration all around me.
Growing up in Montana gave me a deep
connection to wildlife. When I wasn’t
outside admiring the beauty around me
I was in my moms salon. The salon gave
me appreciation of self love, self care,
and appreciating unique beauty within
everyone. Whether it is people or wildlife,
I love to add a colorful splash of color to
all my art.
Jill Storey: There are always other
artists who inspire me, both old masters
and contemporary ones (John Singer
Sargent and Colley Whisson, to name a
couple). But I’m mostly inspired by the
world around me. The way golden light
hits the trees on my way home, or the
natural grace of someone walking across
the street, can stop me in my tracks.
Betsie Richardson: I get inspired by all
kinds of artists — past and present. I’m
especially drawn to the oil painters of the
Dutch Golden Age and the soft realism
of past painters like John Singer Sargent,
whose every carefully rendered brush-

stroke served a purpose. I fill my senses
with new work where I can, like in the
Artists Magazine and Instagram. Among
current artists, the multi-layered, honest
narrative paintings of Zoey Frank and
the massive pastel drawings of glaciers by
Zaria Forman blow my mind and make
me want to run to the easel to create.
I enjoy visiting the Boise Art Museum
and Capitol Contemporary Gallery to
stick my nose in paintings and sculp-
tures and feel their scale and message in
my body. I used to travel internationally
pre-pandemic and would always include
museums and galleries in my itiner-
ary. I adore the visceral experience of
physically standing in front of a work of
art that has captured my full attention.
Cheesy as it sounds, I believe the world is
a more meaningful, beautiful place with
visual art in it. Can you imagine walking
through a city or town without any works
of public art — no larger-than-life bronze
statues of Abraham Lincoln, no 30-foot-
tall colorful murals and uplifting messag-
es in Freak Alley or by Sector Seventeen?
Barren, sad streets, I tell you.
Mary Gardiner: Australian plein air

heroes — along with the legendary Helen

INSPIRATION IN
REACTION TO
IT.” — BETSIE
RICHARDSON

In light of the past year and a half
or so, has it been more challenging
creating art during a pandemic? Why
or why not?
Nikki Russo: I have gone back and
forth with bursts of energy that make
me want to paint 20 paintings at a time,
to extreme procrastination. It’s been
such an emotional time for everyone
and challenging to keep moving forward
sometimes, but on the same note, once
I actually get going, it’s given me ex-
treme pleasure when I am in my studio
creating. In fact just recently, I think I
felt the most intense joy in one moment
than I have felt in a very long time and
it was when I was painting in my studio.
Earphones on, music blasting, That
distinct scent of oil paints permeating the
air all around me, a hot coffee, a sunlit
room full of color, standing in front of
a painting that I was working on and
suddenly realized that I actually REALLY
liked it and I was proud of it truly made
my heart sing and I had a burst of happi-
ness that took my breath away! That was
a good day! I guess you can’t ask for more
than that!
Dave Thomas: Not for me, it’s just
an inconvenience ... I miss the social
engagement with friends and acquain-
tances.
Jacey Peterson: Life as an artist during
the pandemic. Where to begin? The last
two years have affected everyone differ-
ently. Like many parents my focus was al-
most solely on my children and their well
being, through online schooling , and the
changes of the world. I am thankful to be
painting as much as I can during these
times. It has always been a release for me
. I’m so thankful for all my friends, fam-
ily, and amazing clients who have helped
keep me painting through the last year. I
hope to see you all in person next year !
Jill Storey: The answer is both yes
and no. With so many things slowing or
shutting down, there was more time to
spend in the studio, with fewer inter-
ruptions. But I found that even though I
am convinced I’m an introvert, I require
people! I felt a lack of energy that caused
my creativity to slow down, too. It’s really
good to be interacting with people again.
Betsie Richardson: The pandem-
ic brought both greater challenges
to creating art for me and a burst of
creative inspiration in reaction to it. My
daughter, Olive, was in preschool in the
spring of 2020 when Idaho issued the
shelter-in-place order. When childcare
gets disrupted in my family, I take on
that duty. My husband runs a company
that thankfully maintained work during
the pandemic. I was suddenly at home
with a 5 year old instead of going to the
studio five days a week. I had commis-
sions booked, a featured show coming up
at Capitol Contemporary Gallery and a
greeting card business to run; I couldn’t
simply lock the doors to my studio. My
mother-in-law jumped in and cared for
Olive several hours a day so I could walk
the mile to my studio that spring and
summer when the preschool closed. That
daily walk with my old dog leading the
way proved quite the artistic muse; I had
a spiritual download of all kinds of new
subjects to paint. My favorite pandem-
ic painting subject was a roll of toilet

Sid Enck, Jr.’s tiny house, that

“I’ve got idle hands,” said Enck.
“I’ve got to constantly keep work-

Boise Contemporary Theater is back

By TRACY BRINGHURST
Boise Contemporary Theater has been closed now for
roughly 13,860 hours, according to Producing Artistic
Director Benjamin Burdick, and the theater isn’t taking
any chances with it’s premiering production of the play “I
and You.”
“First, we are beyond thrilled to open our doors again,”
said Burdick, “but it’s also daunting to do it during this COURTESY CITY OF BOISE/BROOKE BURTON

that, and to ensure the doors stay open, we are
requiring proof of vaccination or a negative
COVID test within 48 hours.”
The play premieres Wednesday, Oct. 13
and runs until Nov. 6. “I and You” is written
by Lauren Gunderson and runs about 90-100
minutes with no intermission. People can
get more information and buy tickets at bct.
theater.org.
BCT is a small space but has a big impact
on the community. Burdick said he’s had an
overwhelmingly positive response about the
decision to require vaccination or a negative
test, and that’s important because if anyone in
the production catches COVID it’s likely the
show will be cancelled. He said that’s one of the
reasons they’re being so careful.

crime. Yes, nearly all of the film takes
place in a house of God; but at its cen-
terpiece is a violent act.
“Tell me about your son,” says one
mother (Martha Plimpton) sitting di-
rectly opposite another mother.
“What would you like to know?” the
second mother (Ann Dowd) asks.
“Everything. I want to know every-
thing.”
“Why?”
“Why do I want to know about your
son? Because he killed mine.”

WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?
With the 20th annual Boise Weekly Cover Art Auction,
we continue our mission to support local artists. Since
its inception, our annual auction has raised more
than $250,000 and made possible public artworks,
educational programs, gallery shows and exhibitions.
We’re putting the original work that appeared on the
cover of BW over the past 12 months up for auction
Wednesday, Oct. 6 through Wednesday, Oct. 20.
The event, through Auction Frogs, is virtual again this
year, which means you can drink vodka and eat bon-
bons from the comfort and safety of your couch.
A portion of auction proceeds benefit the artists
who created the works up for auction; a portion goes
toward our Cover Auction Art Grant program, which also
supports local artists; and a portion will benefit Boise
Weekly’s journalistic mission. (The deadline for grant
applications is Monday, Feb. 14, 2022. To apply, visit
communityfund.boiseweekly.com.)
Without the help of our sponsors, the artists and
you, dear readers, none of this would be possible, so
support the arts, and discover the cover!

HISTORY CORNER MMM... ART
Kelly Knopp: ‘A Little Creepy, Don’t Ya Think?’
PROTEST ROAD
Clearly, Protest Road in Boise was named after a protest. What
protest was it commemorating? Women’s suffrage, perhaps? Some-
thing to do with a labor strike from back in the Wobbly days?
Maybe it came from the civil rights struggle.
As it turns out, Protest Road is named such because of a
protest. Over a road. That road.
In March of 1950, stakes went up in South Boise for a
new road that would connect the area to a new fire sta-
tion being built on the rim above. Residents had voted to
construct the road. But in the mind of many citizens,
the stakes indicated the road was being planned
in the wrong place. It would require fire engines to
take a twisty route to a fire. PHOTO S C OURTESY OF KELLY KNOPP

More than 500 citizens voted to

form the South Boise Citizens Pro-
test Committee. Ultimately, a sen- Spooky Season is upon us and this month the artist at The Flying M has a theme to match.

20 | OCTOBER 13-19, 2021 | BOISEWEEKLY B O ISE WE E K LY.C O M

ARIES (March 21-April 19):
According to my understanding of the upcoming
weeks, life will present you with unusual opportunities.
I suspect you will find it reasonable and righteous to
shed, dismantle, and rebel against the past. Redefining
your history will be a fun and worthy project. Here are
other related activities I recommend for you: 1. Forget
and renounce a long-running fear that has never come
true. 2. Throw away a reminder of an old experience that
makes you feel bad. 3. Freshen your mood and attitude
by moving around the furniture and decor in your home.
4. Write a note of atonement to a person you hurt once
upon a time. 5. Give yourself a new nickname that
inspires you to emancipate yourself from a pattern or
habit you want to leave behind.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20):
Taurus poet Donte Collins’ preferred pronouns are
“they” and “them.” They describe themself as Black,
queer, and adopted. “A lover doesn’t discourage your
growth,” they write. “A lover says, ‘I see who you are
today, and I cannot wait to see who you become tomor-
row.’” I hope you have people like that in your life,
Taurus—lovers, friends, allies, and relatives. If there is
a scarcity of such beloved companions in your life, the
next eight weeks will be an excellent time to round up
new ones. And if you are connected with people who
delight in your progress and evolution, deepen your con-
nection with them.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Gemini author Lisa Cron advises her fellow writers,
“Avoid exclamation points! Really!! Because they’re dis-
tracting!! Almost as much as CAPITALIZING THINGS!!!”
I’ll expand her counsel to apply not just to writers, but
to all of you Geminis. In my astrological opinion, you’re
likely to find success in the coming weeks if you’re
understated, modest, and unmelodramatic. Make it your
goal to create smooth, suave, savvy solutions. Be cagey
and cool and crafty.
CANCER (June 21-July 22):
Ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu told us that
water is in one sense soft and passive, but is in another
sense superb at eroding jams and obstacles that are
hard and firm. There’s a magic in the way its apparent
weakness overcomes what seems strong and unassail-
able. You are one of the zodiac’s top wielders of water’s
superpower, Cancerian. And in the coming weeks, it will
work for you with even more amazing grace than usual.
Take full advantage of your sensitivity, your emotional
intelligence, and your empathy.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
Leo author James Baldwin told us, “You read some-
thing which you thought only happened to you, and you
discover that it happened 100 years ago to [Russian
novelist] Fyodor Dostoyevsky. This is a great liberation
for the suffering, struggling person, who always thinks
that he is alone.” In that spirit, Leo, and in accordance
B OISEW EEKLY.CO M
with astrological omens, I urge you to track down people
who have had pivotal experiences similar to yours, ei-
ther in the distant or recent past. These days, you need
the consoling companionship they can provide. Their
influence could be key to liberating you from at least
some of your pain.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Poet Octavio Paz described two kinds of distraction.
One is “the distraction of the person who is always
outside himself, lost in the trivial, senseless, turmoil of
everyday life.” The other is “the distraction of the person
who withdraws from the world in order to shut himself
up in the secret and ever-changing land of his fantasy.”
In my astrological opinion, you Virgos should specialize
in the latter during the coming weeks. It’s time to reinvig-
orate your relationship with your deep inner sources. Go
in search of the reverent joy that comes from commun-
ing with your tantalizing mysteries. Explore the riddles at
the core of your destiny.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
“We must never be afraid to go too far, for truth lies
beyond,” declared novelist Marcel Proust. I wouldn’t
normally offer that counsel to you Libras. One of your
strengths is your skill at maintaining healthy boundaries.
You know how to set dynamic limits that are just right:
neither too extreme nor too timid. But according to my
analysis of the astrological potentials, the coming weeks
will be one of those rare times when you’ll be wise to
consider an alternative approach: that the most vigor-
ous truths and liveliest energies may lie beyond where
you usually go.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
Author William S. Burroughs claimed his greatest
strength was a “capacity to confront myself no matter
how unpleasant.” But he added a caveat to his brag:
Although he recognized his mistakes, he rarely made
any corrections. Yikes! Dear Scorpio, I invite you to do
what Burroughs couldn’t. Question yourself about how
you might have gone off course, but then actually make
adjustments and atonements. As you do, keep in mind
these principles: 1. An apparent mistake could lead
you to a key insight or revelation. 2. An obstruction to
the flow may prod you to open your mind and heart to
a liberating possibility. 3. A snafu might motivate you to
get back to where you belong. 4. A mess could show you
something important you’ve been missing.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
In her novel *We Have Always Lived in the Castle*,
Sagittarian author Shirley Jackson wrote, “Today my
winged horse is coming, and I am carrying you off to
the moon, and on the moon we will eat rose petals.” I
wonder what you would do if you received a message
like that—an invitation to wander out on fanciful or mys-
terious adventures. I hope you’d be receptive. I hope you
wouldn’t say, “There are so such things as flying horses.
It’s impossible to fly to the moon and eat rose petals.”
BY ROB BREZSNY
ASTROLOGY
Even if you don’t typically entertain such whimsical no-
tions, the time is favorable to do so now. I bet you will be
pleased with the unexpected grace they bring your way.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
Capricorn author Susan Sontag wrote about people
who weren’t receptive to her intensity and intelligence.
She said she always had “a feeling of being ‘too much’
for them—a creature from another planet—and I would
try to scale myself down to size, so I could be appre-
hendable and lovable by them.” I understand the incli-
nation to engage in such self-diminishment. We all want
to be appreciated and understood. But I urge you to
refrain from taming and toning yourself down too much
in the coming weeks. Don’t do what Sontag did. In my
astrological opinion, it’s time for you to be an extra vivid
version of yourself.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
“I am diagnosed with not having enough insanely ad-
dictive drugs coursing through my body,” joked comedian
Sarah Silverman. Judging from current cosmic rhythms,
I’m inclined to draw a similar conclusion about you. It may
be wise for you to dose yourself with intoxicants. JUST
KIDDING! I lied. Here’s the truth: I would love for you to ex-
perience extra rapture, mystic illumination, transcendent
sex, and yes, even intoxication in the coming weeks. My
analysis of the astrological omens suggests these de-
lights are more likely and desirable than usual. However,
the best way to arouse them is by communing with your
favorite non-drug and non-alcohol inebriants. The benefits
will last longer and incur no psychological cost.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
“The truth is,” writes cartoonist Bill Watterson, “most
of us discover where we are headed when we arrive.”
I sense this will describe your life during the next six
weeks. Your long, strange journey won’t come to an end,
of course. But a key chapter in that long, strange journey
will climax. You will be mostly finished with lessons
you have been studying for many moons. The winding
road you have been following will end up someplace in
particular. And sometime soon, I suspect you’ll spy a
foreshadowing flash of this denouement.
