IN PRAISE OF MONOCHROME That song “Kodachrome” by Paul Simon always kind of pissed me off. First, I was—putting it mildly—a bit of a nerd in school. I didn’t feel like “all the crap I learned in high school” had made it hard to “think at all.” Even as a teenager, the editorial urge was strong in me, and Simon’s gleefully bad grammar (“And though my lack of education hasn’t hurt me none”) always grated. Combine that with the creepy passage about Simon’s “sweet imagination” musing about an orgy with all the girls he’d known when he was single, and you come up with the profile of a horny underachiever running around poking his camera in everyone’s face. Looking at it now, I can imagine a character like that being one of those people who fills your Facebook feed with pictures of whatever he’s eating. Beyond that, the whole premise rubbed me the wrong way: I’ve always taken exception to the idea that “everything looks worse in black and white.” In a culture as image-saturated as the one in which we live, black-andwhite photography has the ability to cut through the noise of digital color correction, airbrushing and that infuriating ’70s-style Instagram filter that turns even the most mundane photograph into an exercise in post-post-modern pretension. Maybe I’m an atavist, but when I think of the greatest photos and photographers (Walker Evans, Frank Capa, Annie Leibovitz, Ansel Adams, etc.), my default is to imagine their work in black-and-white—a style of art whose power lies in its invitation to fill in the blanks, thus allowing us to interact with the subject more fully and making an image more real, in our minds, than reality. In other words, we are given the power to paint the world ourselves, rather than it being handed to us either as a stylized swirl or a dead record of Things As They Are (take that, Paul Simon). This week, we pay tribute to the subtleties of gray scale in Boise Weekly’s 11th annual Black and White Photo Contest. Starting on Page 13, feast your eyes on work that proves there’s nothing monotonous about monochrome. And speaking of tweaking reality, we made a rather embarrassing mistake in last week’s paper. On Page 19, in a BW Pick profiling the work of artist Kehinde Wiley showing at the Boise Art Museum, we mistakenly identified Wiley as a female in the photo cutline. Wiley was correctly identified as a male in the write-up. We sincerely regret the error.

GUEST/OPINION
TROJAN HORSE Teach for America is a step toward privatizing public schools TRAVIS MANNING The Idaho State Board of Education continues to make decisions toward privatizing Idaho’s public schools. In a move by the board on June 20, the Teach For America program was, according to their Facebook post, “approved as a state sanctioned vehicle for the preparation of teachers in Idaho.” TFA takes Ivy League graduates, among others, trains them for five weeks, then sends them out into schools for two-year stints as “teachers.” Add water, mix and stir slightly— voila—insta-teacher! “Teach For America teachers are full-fledged faculty members at their schools, receiving the normal school district salary and benefits as well as a modest AmeriCorps ‘education voucher’ (which can be used to pay for credentialing courses, cover previous student loans or fund further education after the two-year commitment),” reads a Wikipedia entry on the group. In districts across the country, Teach for America “teachers” get their feet wet for a couple years before moving on to be hedge fund managers, directors of nonprofits, attorneys and CFOs with for-profit education companies, etc. The vast majority of TFA “teachers” do not go on to teach for a career, but merely use it as a steppingstone into another profession where they can make three to five times as much. Former Washington, D.C., schools chancellor Michelle Rhee may be the most notable example, who went on to found StudentsFirst, an aggressive school reform organization. This past May, Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton rejected a line-item grant of $1.5 million to fund TFA teachers, citing lack of competition in the application process. Dayton noted TFA’s $50 million profit margin in 2011, and wondered why they would need state assistance (read: corporate welfare) to fund teachers. Incidentally, TFA is currently looking for an Idaho executive director, someone who, according to the job announcement, “Exercises an innovative, entrepreneurial spirit, exhibits an uncommon level of personal responsibility and aggressively pursues outcomes that will position Teach For America to help fuel the local movement to eliminate the educational opportunity gap and maximize our long-term impact in the community.” Read: TFA needs a hard-nosed, type-A personality willing to lobby for corporate welfare despite the cadre of “highly qualified” teachers graduating from Idaho colleges. For years, entrepreneurs worldwide have been salivating over the United States’ halftrillion dollar education market. Unfortunately, the corporate business model—the one that demands profits—is the proverbial square peg in a round hole. Conflicts of interest abound when education corporations like TFA get involved in the “business” of education. What may be good for kids, or what may be best teaching practices, fall by the wayside when shareholder profits are at stake. Hiring temporary, fly-by-night “teachers” looking to pad their resumes doesn’t seem to fall into the category of best educational practices. For this reason, Teach For America ought to be looked at a little more closely. The acceptance of TFA as an alternate teacher certification option in Idaho comes on the heels of a study released June 18 by the National Council on Teacher Quality that made national news. TFA founder Wendy Kopp serves on the NCTQ Advisory Board. Regrettably, the study—called The Teacher Prep Review—seems to have been assembled with outcomes already firmly in mind. “Our profound belief that new teachers and our children deserve better from America’s preparation programs is the touchstone of this project,” states the study. The study, funded in part by The Albertson’s Foundation—which has strong ties to online provider K-12, Inc., etc.—and others which have a stake in the for-profit education industry, causes one to question the validity of NCTQ’s findings. Travis Manning is executive director of the Common Sense Democracy Foundation of Idaho.

OPINION/BILL COPE
COMMENCELESS A message of hopeless for those degreeless I have prepared a number of commencement addresses over the years—for high-school graduations, college graduations, even one for a kindergarten graduation. That I never delivered any of them is no fault of mine. I was ready. The speeches were ready. My delivery was ready (I practiced in front of a mirror until I could do six minutes without scratching myself.) I also let it be known that any honorary doctorates, pecuniary honorariums, expense reimbursements, gift certificates or coupons for “buy one/get one free” lunch deals I received would be entirely at the discretion of whichever institutions saw fit to ask me to contribute my words of wisdom to those young adventurers about to embark on a new phase of their lives. Tragically, I was not asked. Out of all those institutions charged with preparing all those young adventurers for all those new phases, not a damn one of them saw fit to bring me and my words of wisdom to the podium. And don’t tell me my words of wisdom aren’t just as wise as some of the people they do ask. For instance, this spring a University of Idaho satellite campus in Idaho Falls had Larry Craig deliver their commencement address. Larry Craig! I don’t know what his words of wisdom to those young adventurers were, but I’ll bet one of them wasn’t “Minneapolis.” Anyway, I’m sick of trying to get the attention of whoever it is that lines up commencement speakers. So this year, I’m addressing mine to those who won’t be graduating, won’t be sitting through any hooty-snooty graduation ceremonies, and with the way things are going, won’t be enrolled in any institution of learning higher other than the ones they can still ride to on a yellow bus. And believe me, there are a lot more of them than there are graduates. In fact, I don’t even know yet where I’m going to give my address, because I don’t think they’ll all fit in Taco Bell Arena. U To all nongraduates and their families, I welcome you to this noncommencement ceremony of 2013. You should know this is the first such observance ever held in the annals of non-academia. For whatever reason, those either associated or unassociated with even the earliest known universities could see no value in commemorating the fact that so many young nonscholars did not attend those universities, or if they did, did not stick around long enough to finish. Truly, you will find no record of an event such as this either inside or outside the archival halls of Cambridge, Oxford—wherever. And frankly, we wouldn’t be holding this ceremony now, nor would I be delivering this noncommencement address, if not for the reality that, of the thousands upon thousands of young Idaho adults not graduating this fine

June day, many of you would not be here, if you’d had your way. I’m convinced many, maybe even most, of you would prefer to be graduating, had only things worked out differently for you and your families. Were we living in a country that actually valued education in deed as well as rhetoric—that did whatever it takes to make higher education more affordable rather than less—that was not continually stripping the financial foundations from middle-class parents who might have helped you more if only they weren’t struggling to hold onto their homes and jobs and, indeed, their very presence in the middle class—were we living in that sort of country, where college graduates were as common as college aspirants, you’d likely not be here today. Instead, you might be walking across a broad stage where one professor is acknowledging your achievement and another is handing you your sheepskin. You may not know this, but we used to be that sort of country. There was a time, and not so long ago, when state and national leaders supported our institutions—when prospective students could be real students without facing tuitions so daunting and loans so steep that the only ones who dared attend were either the sons and daughters of wealth, or those willing to put themselves into crippling debt for much of their natural life spans—when phony online universities weren’t hawking false dreams in endless television ads, all designed to get their hands on that Sallie Mae money. As it is now, however, only one in 10 Idaho high-schoolers will graduate from college. In this demanding, modern reality, our state slides further and further backward on every education scale available. As organized labor is vilified and crushed—as manufacturing work bleeds out to offshore hellholes where the poorest of the world’s poor will do anything demanded of them for crumbs—as more blue-collar jobs are filled by machines and more menial jobs are filled by desperate immigrants—the day is coming soon when even that minimum wage you’re making now may slip beyond your grasp. So sally forth, young nonalums, and commence your years of drudgery. Scrimp and scrape and scratch out what little you can get in that dreary future awaiting you. But as your worried days go by, forget not to give due credit to those who forged this bleak new world using nothing but their lawyers and political lackeys to accomplish the task—those powerful overlords who gain the most from your powerlessness—those with riches enough to enrich themselves even further with your desperation. You know who they are. One more thing: Please, do curb your envy for those who aren’t here today, but are instead crossing that broad stage for their sheepskin. Keep in mind, most of them are boarding the same leaky boat as you. WWW. B O I S E WE E KLY. C O M
TED RALL/OPINION
AMERICA’S LAST CHANCE Will we resist a massive conspiracy? Turkey teeters on the brink of revolution—because the government wants to build a mall in a public square in Istanbul. What will we do about the PRISM conspiracy? With due respect to the Turkish protesters, PRISM is a trillion times worse. The charter of the National Security Agency specifically states that it is prohibited from “acquiring information concerning the domestic activities of United States persons.” The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s selfprofessed mission is to “protect and defend the United States against terrorist and foreign intelligence threats, to uphold and enforce the criminal laws of the United States, and to provide leadership and criminal justice services to federal, state, municipal and international agencies and partners.” The darkest dystopian visions of the future have come to chilling, horrific life. Everything we learned as schoolchildren was a lie. The U.S. government does not serve us. This is not a government by the people or for the people. The regime in Washington, D.C., no more respects our rights as citizens than the North Korean dictators of Pyongyang. The Washington Post and the British newspaper The Guardian have broken a startling blockbuster, perhaps the biggest story of our lives. “The NSA and the FBI,” writes the Post, “are tapping directly into the central servers of nine leading U.S. Internet companies, extracting audio and video chats, photographs, emails, documents, and connection logs that enable analysts to track one target or trace a whole network of associates.” This is a government-big business conspiracy of the first order, so breathtaking in scope

that it is scarcely comprehensible. According to a classified PowerPoint presentation leaked by a patriotic intelligence officer, the government taps directly into the servers of Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube and Apple. Google, the biggest Internet company on Earth, controls 16 percent of global Internet traffic. If you’re online, Google has given your “private” information to the feds. If capitalism counts for anything, contracts have to be enforced. There is a universally understood implicit contract between Internet users and companies: They keep your data private to the best of their abilities. They might get hacked; a court may serve them with a subpoena. Stuff happens. But they’re not supposed to voluntarily give every bit and byte to the government just because they asked nicely. These Internet giants had a choice. According to the Post: “Apple demonstrated that resistance is possible when it held out for more than five years, for reasons unknown, after Microsoft became PRISM’s first corporate partner in May 2007. Twitter, which has cultivated a reputation for aggressive defense of its users’ privacy, is still conspicuous by its absence from the list of ‘private sector partners.’” It also belies previous official claims that anti-terrorism and other security-based intelligence-gathering operations are specifically targeted at likely threats. To the contrary, the U.S. government is plainly interested in intercepting, collecting and analyzing every electronic communication in the United States. 12 For example: “Google’s offerings

SSTTOP OR GO? It’s hard to fathom which makes the head hurt more: how to fix State Street or how much it will cost. In April 2011, Boise Weekly first reported on something called SSTTOP, aka the State Street Transit and Traffic Operations Plan (BW, News, “SSTOP Waits for Green Light,” April 13, 2011), and the prediction that the current volume of vehicles traveling along State—30,000 on an average weekday— would balloon to more than 56,000 vehicles by 2035, an increase of 93 percent. A 100-plus-page analysis included a halfdozen scenarios to widen State Street and introduce high-occupancy lanes. “It’s the funding part that could drive someone to drink,” Mayor Dave Bieter told planners on March 31, 2011. Hizzoner may want to make it a double. When Sabrina Anderson, director of planning and project management, and transportation funding coordinator Ryan Head, both from the Ada County Highway District, returned to Boise City Council chambers more than two years later, on June 18, they updated city officials on SSTTOP—flying through a series of maps. They said that if and when State Street is widened, presumably by 2030, the price tag might need $45.7 million in local funding and an additional $15 million in federal dollars. “We know it will be a while before we get to the widening of State Street,” cautioned Anderson, adding that federal funding should probably focus on maintenance while local funding should be earmarked for larger, street-widening projects. The most recent version of SSTTOP recommends that much of State Street be widened to seven lanes, with lanes dedicated to transit and other high-occupancy vehicles. The plan also “recommends projects to expand the capacity of the transit system and bicycle and pedestrian facilities and to design State Street to accommodate all travel modes.” “But we should focus on funding pedestrian facilities and sidewalks and the connection of a safe path as soon as possible,” said Anderson. Improved sidewalks and intersections would occur incrementally, with most—between 27th Street and Glenwood Avenue— completed by 2020. Widening of State Street would follow with 27th to Veterans Parkway completed by 2026, Veterans to Collister by 2028 and Collister to Glenwood completed by 2030. Anderson told policymakers that ultimate decisions on funding “will be determined” by ACHD’s budget, but she promised to return with another update sooner than later. —George Prentice

SMALL TOWN, BIG HEADLINES Transparency, police department controversies cast long shadows over McCall City Hall GEORGE PRENTICE It’s not as if Don Bailey doesn’t know his way around McCall City Hall. “Let’s duck in here,” he said, ushering Boise Weekly to a back office. It’s just that Bailey, the two-term mayor of McCall, doesn’t even have an office of his own in the building. In fact, he’s not really the person in charge. “McCall is one of only three Idaho cities—Lewiston and Twin Falls are the other two—that have a city manager form of government,” said Bailey. “I only get paid $350 a month.” Bailey isn’t a political novice; after moving to McCall in 1996, he served on the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission from 2000-2006 and, beginning in 2006, was elected to the City Council four times.The council has, in turn, elected him mayor twice, first in 2010. “I never ran for public office before,” said Bailey, who grew up in the Valley County mining town of Stibnite before working as an aerospace technician in Southern California. But rocket science has nothing on politics, just a few months into his first year in office. “The same year I first got elected to council, I was the target of a recall along with three other council members,” said Bailey, with a laugh. “It was my second election in just a few months and I won both times. “We had a few citizens complaining about the city’s building ceiling limits,” he said. “It was kind of a stupid thing. They were arguing about 35 feet versus 50 feet. For goodness sakes, look at all the trees here. They’re over 100 feet tall. It was silly.” Bailey said surviving the recall effort strengthened his political resolve. But it would be far from Bailey’s or McCall’s last controversy during his time in office. In a scathing editorial—going so far as to accuse the City Council of “cowardice” and writing that elected officials were “filled with ignorance for the public interest”—the McCall Star-News took aim at city leaders for their lack of transparency in the suspension and ultimate firing of McCall’s chief of police (BW, Citydesk, “Blistering Editorial Rips McCall Council,” Feb. 9, 2013). “Don Bailey is a nice fellow, a good guy
Don Bailey, 76, has served on the McCall City Council since 2006 and as McCall mayor since 2010, but says he’ll be stepping away from public office at the end of this year.
and sincere,” said Star-News Editor and CoPublisher Tom Grote, who wrote the editorial, “but he doesn’t have the right attitude as far as transparency. I respect his philosophies but I disagree with him.” Grote has seen plenty since he took the reins of the Star-News in 1983, following six years of reporting for the Idaho Statesman. “It takes no courage on our part to simply blast politicians in the paper or write about scandals. Shit comes down all the time around here, as it does in most small towns,” said Grote. “But most daily papers don’t pay attention. The Star-News pays attention.” Grote and his staff were paying particular attention during the summer of 2012, when Bailey and his fellow City Council members needed to hire a new city manager. Grote ripped into city officials for keeping a number of their job interviews with potential candidates behind closed doors (BW, Citydesk, “McCall Officials Secretive About City Manager Contenders,” July 20, 2012). “That may have been legal, but it was wrong,” said Grote. “Hiring a city manager is the most important thing that the City Council will do. Nothing else compares to that. What could they possibly think would be wrong with an open process? Are they worried about people’s backgrounds being investigated? Duh.” Bailey’s recollection was a bit different. “They were done in public. Some of us may have met individually with the applicants. But as far as I’m concerned, this was much more transparent than what I was used to when I was working in the private sector,” said Bailey. Grote told BW that Bailey’s previous experience in the private sector was actually the root of the problem. “They’re just not accustomed to the ethics of public transparency,” said Grote. “If they’re going to run things like a business, then they ought to remember that their cus-
tomer is the taxpayer.” Bailey laughed off the criticism. “Tom’s a nice guy but he likes to create controversy,” said the mayor. “It sells papers.” Indeed, shortly after Bailey and the council completed the interviews and hand-picked their new city manager, Gene Drabinski, the controversies only got bigger. Next in line was the police department. “I think, from day one, [McCall Police Chief] Jerry Summers and Gene [Drabinski] clashed,” said Bailey. “And it was Gene’s decision to part company with Jerry.” Grote traces Summers’ April ouster as police chief to a September 2012 citizen survey, launched by Drabinski, to garner opinions on Summers and his police force. “That was really his first tit in the ringer,” said Grote. “They asked a bunch of questions and some of them were softballs. But they got over 400 written comments, many of them critical. Four hundred from a city this size!” McCall’s official population is 3,000, with only about 60 percent claiming full-time residency. “There were general criticisms and specific criticisms of the police department, but hundreds of them,” he said. “That survey really woke up the council and [the new city manager] wanted to redirect the chief to pay attention to that criticism. The chief resisted and that’s when Gene [Drabinski] and Jerry [Summers] came to blows.” Summers was suspended in February and fired in April. He has since filed a tort claim against the city, warning of a pending lawsuit. “It’s an ugly situation,” McCall City Councilman Nic Swanson told the Star-news in April. Bailey told BW that the city wasn’t “in a big rush” to find Summers’ permanent replacement. 10 “We have an interim police chief, Larry Stokes,” said Bailey. “I think WWW. B O I S E WE E KLY. C O M

A PRIVATE PERFORMANCE Shakespeare meets with GBAD behind closed doors over Macy’s project GEORGE PRENTICE The drama surrounding the possibility of the Idaho Shakespeare Festival moving its headquarters, administrative, educational and rehearsal space into the former Macy’s building has entered its second act. But it’s a bit more improvised than on-script. “You’re not invited,” Greater Boise Auditorium District Chairman Hy Kloc told Boise Weekly as he and fellow GBAD commissioners prepared to gather in private June 24. In fact, all non-invitees were ushered out the door as GBAD went into executive session, which according to Idaho Code can include matters concerning “an interest in real property which is not owned by a public agency.” When BW asked Kloc who was invited to the
clandestine meeting, he smiled and said, “Our guests from the Idaho Shakespeare Festival.” We turned around to see a full ISF contingency, including Producing Artistic Director Charlie Fee, Managing Director Mark Hofflund, Director of Finance Sherrill Livingston, and Lynn Johnston, Karen Meyer and John Sims, from the ISF Board of Trustees. Also invited to the closed-door meeting was Jeff Shneider, principal emeritus of CSHQA.
ISF Managing Director Mark Hofflund told BW that the organization “has been down enough roads to be naturally cautious about getting our collective hopes too high.”
the department is doing fine. There has been a lot of criticism [leveled at the department], but I think most of that was in the 8 past.” But Grote said that the prolonged vacancy leads to uncertainty. “Gene Drabinski is in no hurry to fill that position and that makes him the de facto chief of police. Gene has decided to set his own tone and he wants to find someone that matches his personality,” said Grote. “And that is the conundrum of a city manager form of government. People don’t realize the power that a city manager has. He has total control over hiring and firing. The council is asked to give consent in what he’s doing; not necessarily approval, but consent. And in the absence of any direction, the city manager has total authority to move forward and ask for forgiveness rather than permission.” Meanwhile, Bailey insists he wants to look to the future, not McCall’s recent controversial past. “After all, this will be my last year in office. I’m stepping down to give somebody else a shot at this,” he said. “But we’ve got plenty of work to do in the next few months. “We want to complete a governance manual—a guide to the city’s rules and regulations,” he added. “We’ve got a lot of new construction, including improvements to Third Street—that project will probably cost about $1.2 million.

“This would give [ISF] a permanent home and they have a huge education program during the day, which would bring a lot of people into that area every day,” he told BW in May. Boise Weekly first reported in November 2012 about ISF’s desire to move into the former Macy’s building, which has sat empty since March 2010 (BW, News, “Much Ado About Macy’s,” Nov. 14, 2012). CSHQA has plans to build about 62 apartments on the second through fifth floors, leaving the main floor and mezzanine open for a high-profile project. “But this is all pre-campaign and predevelopment, and [ISF] has been down enough roads to be naturally cautious about getting our collective hopes up too high,” Hofflund told BW after the June 24 executive session, which at approximately 80 minutes, ran longer than the public portion of GBAD’s meeting. Because GBAD’s mission includes the construction and development of performing arts space, its directors have been quietly meeting with ISF, CSHQA and public interests—including the city of Boise and the Capital City Development Corporation—about a plan to convert former retail space into a new home for ISF. Hofflund told BW that ISF has explored several long-term plans over the years, “But nothing as unusual or unique as this.” Sixty minutes into the executive session, GBAD legal counsel Don Knickrehm emerged from the private proceedings. “They’re wearing us down,” he said, before taking a breath and returning behind closed doors.
ing a new local improvement district in the south part of McCall; and, perhaps most importantly, I really want us to introduce a new local-option tax to help pay for infrastructure. We simply don’t have enough money for our streets.” Bailey ought to know. In spite of the fact that he’s not the ultimate authority at City Hall, part of his part-time duties as mayor is to sign the checks. “You quickly learn how damn expensive it is to run the city,” said Bailey, who added that McCall’s current fiscal year spending plan was approximately $15 million. “That’s a lot of money for a town of 3,000 people.” Grote conceded that McCall’s elected officials usually run for office for “a noble cause.” “But let’s face it, it’s a lot of grief, and they find that out shortly after they get into office,” he said. “The names and faces at City Hall come and go. It’s not just McCall. It’s the nature of all politics. But the same mistakes continue to be repeated because there is no real institutional memory in government. So as the press, we have to be constantly vigilant.” Grote already has his sights set on what could easily become City Hall’s newest controversy: Drabinksi is recommending that McCall raise property taxes by 9 percent and eliminate five city positions. “Politics is like shooting fish in a barrel,” said Grote.

JEFF SPECK Author of Walkable City says something is afoot in Boise GEORGE PRENTICE
Are you working on concurrent projects for a number of communities? I probably have five overlapping clients at any time, but I’m typically focusing on one. In the case of my walkability studies, I associate with firms that help me with renderings or graphic layouts; but, unlike most city planners, when you’re hiring my firm, you’re really just getting me. Because of that, I’ve chosen to do less work more craftily rather than doing more work with a larger team. I’ve heard that one of your earliest visions of an ideal city was when you watched the Mary Tyler Moore Show. My recollection was that Mary Tyler Moore was probably the only thing on television that portrayed a city as something other than crime-infested. If you remember, most of the programs at that time were about violence in our cities. More recent generations grew up watching shows that portrayed cities more lovingly: Friends, Seinfeld, Sex and the City. Those programs were all set in Manhattan. For good reasons. Manhattan is a self-reinforcing cycle of transit and walkability. New

Yorkers probably burn the least gasoline per citizen than anywhere else in America. Plus, they have the lowest vehicle fatality rate in the country. If the whole country shared that fatality rate, we’d save 24,000 people per year. Is there a distinction between walkable cities east or west of the Mississippi? It’s not east or west. It’s cities that developed before or after World War II. You’ll find many West Coast cities like San Francisco perform a lot better than some East Coast cities. Jacksonville, Tampa and even Atlanta saw most of their development occur after World War II. They were all designed around the automobile. And of course, those are cities that are most effective in smashing automobiles into one another. These are cities that require you to drive. As a result, the automobile is transformed from an instrument of freedom into a prosthetic device. Do you tailor your message from city to city? There are 50 different parts of my presentation; 40 are relevant to wherever I speak and the rest are specific to where I’m talking.
JER EM Y LANNINGHAM
It was a foregone conclusion that at some point in his conversation with Boise Weekly, Jeff Speck would be walking while talking. In fact, as BW was going to press, the author of Walkable City said he would be doing quite a bit of walking in and around downtown Boise in the coming week. After officials from the city of Boise and the Capital City Development Corporation first heard Speck speak at a Boise Metro Chamber of Commerce conference in Sun Valley, they instantly asked the smart growth consultant to return to Idaho, this time spending some more time in the City of Trees. BW got Speck, 49, to stand still long enough to talk about what he’s been asked to do for Boise city planners, one-way versus two-way thoroughfares, and how he’s not interested in hearing what everybody wants.
For instance, the issue of one-way streets or a city’s bicycle infrastructure is going to be more important in some cities. Perhaps more than any time in recent memory, officials in Boise have moved their conversations about one-way versus two-way and bicycle infrastructure into the fast lane. There’s a lot afoot. I’ve heard a lot of good things about Boise in terms of its livability and a great deal of enthusiasm. Nothing pleases a consultant more than to arrive in a city that is already improving. In addition to your June 24 presentation about walkability at the Egyptian Theatre, what has CCDC and the city of Boise asked you to do? I’m doing a walkability study for Boise. But I should tell you that I’m not playing secretary of the mob. I’m not necessarily interested in hearing what everyone wants. This is study based on facts on the ground. It will be based on my objective and subjective analysis as to how things are working or not working. I’ll have three full mornings of multiple meetings. My advice to my hosts [CCDC and the city of Boise] was to select people for me to talk with—not based on political framework or their desire to be heard, but because they’re people who will give me the best information. Do you have a sense of Boise’s big-

gest challenges? First of all, there’s the fact that the city of Boise doesn’t own its own streets. Instead, you have this… what is it called?
The Ada County Highway District manages the majority of the curb-to-curb space. That’s a huge challenge. And helping you to surmount that challenge will be one of my goals. Does that mean you’ll be coming back to Boise to make a presentation later this summer? Yes, in a couple of months I’ll come back with a full report and my recommendations. Let’s talk about a specific real-world challenge. Charter schools are becoming more successful here, but transporting kids far from home is in direct conflict with the scenario of children walking to a neighborhood school. Do you know why I own an SUV? It’s because I send my kids to a charter school. Unfortunately, charter schools seem to be the best hope for education in many cities, but they’re horrible from a planning perspective. No. 1, they dramatically increase the number of commuters. And No. 2, we’re missing the way we used to form our communities around
schools. Social capital usually arises around a schoolyard. I’m presuming you’ve heard the cliche that Americans will walk more once gasoline is $10 a gallon. That’s certainly true. The greater question I have is: What will happen to cities like Atlanta, Jacksonville and Tampa that were designed around compulsory automobile use? Can you point to a good example for Boiseans to look to as a walkable, bikeable model? I’m sure you’ve heard this plenty, but I think Portland is a great model. They spent three decades investing less in driving and more in transit and bikeways. Portlanders now drive 20 percent less than the rest of America, and when you’re saving money on driving, you tend to spend more on housing. How do you encourage naysayers or those still uncommitted to your message? I have to run, so I’m walking out the door as I talk to you. You may be on the fence whether you see what I see, but a walkable, bikeable city is one of the things that both millennials and empty nesters are demanding. And if you don’t attract or keep those millennials, your city doesn’t have a future.
RALL include Gmail, voice and video chat, Google Drive files, photo libraries, and live surveillance of search terms.” Yeah, of course, we knew they were spying on Americans on an epic scale. First came the 2001 USA-Patriot Act, which opened the door to officially sanctioned law-breaking in the supposed service of national security. In 2002, there was DARPA’s Total Information Awareness, the Bush administration’s post-9/11 data mining operation, an attempt to, as the New Yorker wrote at the time, “turn everything in cyberspace about everybody—tax records, driver’s license applications, travel records, bank records, raw FBI files, telephone records, credit card records, shopping mall security camera videotapes, medical records, every email anybody ever sent—into a single, humongous, multi-googolplexibyte database that electronic robots will mine for patterns of information suggestive of terrorist activity.” After an uproar, Congress defunded TIA—so its staff and activities simply moved to the NSA. There was also AT&T’s secret room 641A, the site of “clandestine collaboration between one big telecommunications company, AT&T, and the National Security Agency to facilitate the most comprehensive illegal domestic spying program in history.” That story broke in 2007. Recently, another sweeping violation of privacy came to light. This time, “the govern7

ment obtained phone numbers of both parties on every Verizon call, the call’s duration, location data and the time of day the calls were made.” That program is ongoing. It doesn’t take a genius to extrapolate from these stories to the massive scope of PRISM. So what are we going to do about this? First: We need an independent investigation. Not by Congress. By someone we can trust. Second: If this story is true, President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and the entire cabinet must resign and face prosecution. According to the Post, data collected from the rogue PRISM program is relied upon for roughly one out of seven of the president’s daily briefs on intelligence matters. “That is a remarkable figure in an agency that measures annual intake in the trillions of communications,” notes the newspaper. It means that knowledge of PRISM, and authorization thereof, goes to the Oval Office. Members of Congress, executives of the Internet companies involved, and of any other companies, must be held to account as well. Prosecutions should come quickly. Finally, we have some hard questions to ask ourselves. I’d start with this one: What does it mean to be an American? Are we citizens; free men and women? Or are we serfs, not vested in even the primal right to talk to our friends and family members without some goddamn government asshole listening in? WWW. B O I S E WE E KLY. C O M
Each year, photographers from across the Treasure Valley converge on Boise Weekly headquarters, their best work tucked under their arms. They come with stunning portraits, breathtaking landscapes or intricate images that turn everyday
objects into abstract art—all accomplished in the subtle blacks, whites and grays of black-andwhite photography. For non-photographers, it may seem simple to capture an image—especially in an age where everyone seems addicted to posting smartphone pics on social media sites. But for true photographers, it’s an artform that is never truly mastered. This year our panel of judges pored through piles of images in search of those that stood out from the rest. It was a tough job, given the quality of the entries, but somehow they were able to narrow the
field. Photographers Laurie Pearman, whose images regularly fill the pages of Boise Weekly, and Mike Shipman bravely took on the task, as well as BW Art Director Leila Ramella-Rader and Graphic Designer Jen Grable. For the second year, BW readers had a chance to cast votes for their favorites as well, thanks to an online contest—and we must say, you chose wisely. Thanks to all those who entered work in this year’s contest—we can’t wait to see what you bring us next year. —Deanna Darr

THURSDAY JUNE 27 katniss FULL DRAW FILM TOUR It’s probably an understatement to say that hunting is pretty popular in the West, and for many of those hunters, nocking an arrow is as familiar as chambering a round. Following the wave of bow-wielding screen icons in The Hunger Games and The Avengers, bow hunting— along with archery in general—has seen a surge of interest worldwide. The Full Draw Film Tour invites the hunting and archery communities to come together at the Egyptian Theatre Thursday, June 27, to experience the visceral thrill of bow hunting on the big screen. Coming to Boise for its third year, the tour highlights independent filmmakers who specialize in capturing the traditional bow hunting experience. Including both short and feature-length films, topics range from professional, fully kitted hunters climbing the high peaks in search of mountain goats, to documentaries following enthusiastic young amateurs on their first bow hunts. Even Hawkeye and Katniss could pick up a few tips. But it’s not just about the films—audiences are entered for the chance to win a bow, along with other hunting equipment, in raffle drawings held throughout the evening. The tour will raise funds for Hunt of a Lifetime—a hunt-themed nonprofit that helps kids with life-threatening illnesses experience the hunts of their dreams. 6:30 p.m. $9-$12.

RIDE SUN VALLEY BIKE FESTIVAL From the casual pedaler to the hard-core racer, the urban cyclist to the off-road mountain biker, Sun Valley is a hell of a place to be a biker. There are more than 32 miles of multiuse bike paths, parks and scenic roads, as well as more than 400 miles of singletrack, meaning bikers have plenty of places to lose themselves. There’s so much for bikers to do that the area celebrates its two-wheeled offerings with the annual Ride Sun Valley Mountain Bike Festival. The 10-day festival kicks off on Friday, June 28, and continues through Sunday, July 7, with a full schedule of bike-oriented parties and activities. Things start off right with an opening party at the Sawtooth Brewery in Ketchum that includes live music and a raffle. The party acts as a fundraiser for the Wood River Bike Coalition and supports the Sun Valley chapter of the International Mountain Bike Association. For the next nine days, Sun Valley opens its doors for competitions like the Sun Valley Super Enduro, a two-day race taking riders on four different downhill tracks. Other events include a bike demo, where attendees can shop for the latest cycling gear, as well as test-ride bikes by Cannondale, GT, Mongoose, Ellsworth and Scott on a section of singletrack accessible from the demo site. The Ride Sun Valley Festival will also feature women’s rides, kids-only bike races and plenty of assorted diversions. The week closes out with the USA Cycling Marathon Mountain Bike National Championships, where racers compete on a 45-mile course that climbs and descends a total of 5,000 feet. Meanwhile, the Lawn-athon brings Caribbean and Mexican-style tacos, lawn game tournaments and live music to spectators. Get a full list of events online.

ORGANIC GEMS FARM DINNER AND BUS TOUR
DISASTER DAYS
Locally grown, organic delicacies: They’re not just for vegans anymore. To mark the end of the third annual Idaho Organic Week, the Treasure Valley Food Coalition and Northwest Center for Alternatives to Pesticides invite Boiseans to embark on a pilgrimage to two Gem County organic farms. Back by popular demand, the Organic Gems Farm Dinner and Bus Tour departs from the Albertsons location at 16th and State streets in Boise at 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 29, for a quick trip to Emmett and a tour of Joe and Carmen Morton’s vineyard at Silver Leaf Farm. Following the tour, casual sippers and alcohol aficionados alike can sample wine by Vale Wine Company, based in Caldwell. From Emmett, the bus heads east to Sweet for a tour of area farms and Sweet Valley Organics. At Sweet Valley, tourists can see the process of tomato, basil and pepper farming in action, in addition to vermicomposting and pastured chicken demos. And, since bus riders’ minds will be on food by this point, dinner featuring products from Sweet Valley Organics and other local farmers will be the next item on the agenda. Idaho Organic Week, in conjunction with the Idaho Department of Agriculture, showcases the efforts of producers, farmers and organizations seeking to emphasize the diverse organic alternatives the state has to offer. A spot on the Organic Gems bus costs $75, but includes round-trip transportation to all destinations. The admission price also covers the cost of vineyard and farm tours, wine tasting and dinner. 3-10:30 p.m. $75. Corner of 16th and State streets, Boise, 208-850-6540, treasurevalleyfoodcoalition.org.

But don’t head to the bunker yet—the Discovery Center of Idaho is ready to jump into the fray, kind of. DCI is teaming with the Idaho Bureau of Homeland Security to host Disaster Days Saturday, June 29, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Ten local and federal agencies will be at the ready to offer advice and training to families looking to prepare for calamities. Each organization will present working models and demonstrations that can help old and young deal with disaster. While the Red Cross teaches participants what makes an effective 72-hour emergency kit (sorry, it doesn’t include your gaming system), the National Weather Service shows off how it operates weather balloons to predict patterns in the atmosphere. The Idaho Department of Water Resources will even show you if your house would flood if Lucky Peak Dam ever bursts. The Boise Fire Department will also have a hazmat truck on-site for kids to walk through and learn what civilians and professionals should do in the event of a hazardous materials spill. Need more motivation to get prepared? Anyone who visits every booth at Disaster Days is eligible to enter a raffle for a family pass to an upcoming Discovery Center event.

Intrigued, we ordered a scoop of the black licorice, which owner Rindy Quijas said she makes with a syrup procured from a specialty online retailer. Grabbing a seat on an adjacent wooden porch swing stationed behind the stand, we dug in. Though the ice cream was the color of wet ash in a drowned campfire—a transfixing gray-ish purple—it had a subtle and surprisingly refreshing licorice flavor. And, oh boy, was it creamy. We didn’t try the huckleberry or the key lime pie, but there’s no doubt we’ll be back on our next trip up to McCall.

Kehinde Wiley’s work explores struggle, but empowers without politics.
KEHINDE WILEY DISCUSSES BAM EXHIBIT, THE WORLD STAGE: ISRAEL Kehinde Wiley introduced himself as a poor public speaker at an art talk organized by Boise Art Museum June 21 at Boise State University. Standing at the podium in a rust-colored sport coat, he opened with a jab at his own slideshow presentation. “This is not Boston. Clearly,” he said, after mistakenly pulling up a slide with the logo for the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. The audience chuckled. Wiley delivered an address on the sources and inspirations behind The World Stage: Israel, an exhibition that opened June 22 and runs through Sunday, Oct. 27 at BAM. The presentation included nary an “um” or “uh,” demonstrating Wiley’s mastery of the theory and praxis of fine art, humor and rhetorical fluency. From his paintings of young black men striking poses found in European portraiture, to the coat he wore, Wiley is rife with conceits. “I want you as the viewer to be suspicious,” he said. Wiley’s portraits evoke ethnic, cultural, economic and gender struggles. But Wiley empowers his subjects through hypermasculine poses and imperious facial expressions without irony or anger. “For artists, it can be suffocating to have a transgressive agenda presupposed upon you. You can never be free, but sort of act like it,” he said. The World Stage: Israel is one of several similar exhibitions of Wiley’s work featuring street-sourced models from around the world. The BAM exhibition draws faithfully from black Jewish and Arab-Israeli models who Wiley encountered in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, as well as motifs from Jewish marriage contracts, Torah scrolls and other examples of Jewish visual art. His portraits are enormous. One of the largest, “Alios Itzhak” (2001), is 115 inches by 80 inches, with the subject holding a pose recalling 18th century Dutch portraiture. Wound about his arms and chest are decorative blooming vines and wild animals rendered in explosive color that seem to draw the hyper-real subject into the background. “Scale has a lot to do with modernism, bravado and chest beating,” Wiley said. Wiley’s paintings give nods to traditional culture, marginalization, race and gender, but they don’t tackle wealth and poverty of power so much as they convey yearning and desire, pivoting away from the politics of oppression. Standing in BAM, it’s easy to spend 15 minutes looking at a single painting, examining its nuance and realism, seeking out details and absorbing Wiley’s grand visions. The portraits exude sage humor and grace—never indulging in bitterness or lofty philosophizing. “It’s not a direct portrait of anyone. It’s a picture of a set of desires,” he said. “I’m jettisoning some of the high seriousness that was in the room.” —Harrison Berry WWW. B O I S E WE E KLY. C O M

SALLIE FORD AND THE SOUND OUTSIDE, JUNE 26, AA5 Three years ago, while the inaugural Boise Music Festival was taking over Ann Morrison Park with thousands of music fans pretending it was still 1989, another tiny festival was booming out at a backyard barbecue on the Bench overlooking the park. One of the acts on that bill was Portland, Ore.’s, Sallie Ford and the Sound Outside. Though the band wasn’t a headlining act, its country-influenced take on rock ’n’ roll—fronted by the cat-eye-glasses glare of Sallie Ford—immediately stood out. By the time the band came back to Boise for the inaugural Treefort Music Fest, it had won the hearts of critics nationwide. Sallie Ford is back to playing a sun-drenched outdoor summer show for Boiseans. And, yes, you better believe it got the headlining slot.

FACE TO FACE, JUNE 27, KNITTING FACTORY So-Cal’s Face to Face is one of the most consistent acts in punk. With the exception of 2004-2008, the four years the band broke up, it has steadily put out albums—from 1992’s Don’t Turn Away all the way to 2013’s Three Chords and a Half Truth. Its nine studio releases rock driving guitars, screaming choruses and balls-out beats with nary a flaw to be found. But solid as the band’s oeuvre is, it all still basks in the shadow of one song: “Disconnected,” a track that not only defines the band, but is so good, it could represent the pop-punk genre as a whole. Classics are generally played last, meaning you can use the rest of the band’s set to reacquaint yourself with its other material before they cut into “Disconnected.”

COLLECTIVE RE-PURPOSE Antiques Roadshow heads to Boise this week.
SOARING VOICES AND HIDDEN TREASURES If you were psyched to hear the Foothills come alive with The Sound of Music Sunday, July 21, you’ll have to soak in your drop of golden sun elsewhere. Opera Idaho has moved the Von Trapps from the Idaho Botanical Garden to Woodriver Cellars for its show Sunday, July 21, at 7 p.m. The Friday, July 19, performance of The Sound of Music will remain at IBG as planned. If you’ve purchased tickets for either performance and would like to make changes, call 208-345-3531, ext. 2. Speaking of Opera Idaho, the company recently announced its 2013-2014 season lineup. Mozart’s comedy, The Marriage of Figaro, will premiere Friday, Nov. 8, and Sunday, Nov. 10, at the Egyptian Theatre, with Susannah Biller starring as Susanna, Austin Kness as Figaro and Jason Detwiler as the Count. The production will move to Idaho State University’s Stephens Performing Arts Center Thursday, Nov. 14. To kick off 2014, Opera Idaho will revive Georges Bizet’s Carmen for a sixth production, which brings the company to the larger Morrison Center stage Friday, Feb. 28, and Sunday, March 2. To close the season, Opera Idaho will return to the Egyptian Theatre for a double billing of Giacomo Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi and Leonard Bernstein’s Trouble in Tahiti Friday, April 11, and Sunday, April 13. But if deep baritones and piercing sopranos aren’t your style, the Antiques Roadshow is bringing its tour to Boise Saturday, June 29. PBS’s highest-rated ongoing primetime series rolls into town to tape its expanded 18th season at Expo Idaho, offering free evaluations of antiques and collectibles by some of the nation’s top appraisal experts. Segments taped for the latest season will air in January of 2014. Tickets to Antiques Roadshow are free, but the application deadline has already passed. For more info, visit pbs.org/antiques. Moving from valuable antiques to rusty rebar salvaged from the Boise Hole, Woman of Steel’s Irene Deely will be installing a rebar sculpture at the Tower at Eighth and Main over the coming months. The sculpture, known as “Cycles,” depicts the history of building the Tower, from the beginning of construction to where it is now. The sculpture, made from reclaimed rebar, stainless steel and cast resin, will be approximately nine feet high and three feet around. Deely’s “Cycles” will be installed in October or November, and a public unveiling has been scheduled for January 2014.
Studio 616 showcases upcycled artwork in McCall TARA MORGAN Megan Henderson seems to know everyone who walks into her McCall shop.

That’s all the 39 teams which entered this year’s i48 competition had to work with June 7-9 to produce a three- to six-minute short film. “One thing that really impresses me about the teams is that they get better and better every year,” said organizer Andrew Ellis. “The quality has been excellent.” This year saw the addition of a “remake” option, allowing teams to have another go at a film from a previous year’s competition.

GARDEN OF GORE Short film Spring Garden shoots around North End CHRIS GRAPES An innocuous apartment around the corner from the Boise Co-op looks like any other building in the North End. But on June 13, the body of a girl was splayed out awkwardly on the living room floor. Blood ran from a stab wound on her neck and soaked into the white rug. Hunched figures stood impassively by, just watching. “Do we need more blood?” someone asked. The room was serving as the main set for the local independent short film Spring Garden, a psychological thriller about a man suffering from paranoia and blackouts who The cast and crew of Spring Garden shot on location at the Boise Co-op. finds dead bodies piling up in his apartment.

SCREEN/EXTRA SMOKE WRAPS FILMING With production wrapped and cast and crew sent home, Smoke directors Cody Gittings and Stephen Heleker heaved a brief sigh of relief. “In pre-production you’ve got several months and you can be like, ‘Oh, I will go to the office and I will dial more things in, but once production starts, there’s no changing anything,” Gittings said. “Everyone is there; the clock has been punched for all the people getting paid.” The two young filmmakers just finished shooting the film adaptation of Smoke, a short story by award-winning Boise author Alan Heathcock. The duo funded the film’s production through a Kickstarter campaign, which netted them more than $20,000. Heathcock remained on set throughout most of the filming as an executive producer, ensuring his words came to life on the silver screen. “People could tell when he was excited about what was going on and that kind of gave everyone some fresh energy,” Heleker said.
30 | JUNE 26 – JULY 2, 2013 | BOISEweekly
After eight days shooting on location in Sweet, Cascade, Kuna and Boise, Gittings and Heleker were able to obtain plenty of outdoor footage, but the duo needed an indoor set to film the story’s cave scenes. Gittings stumbled upon an expert in the field of fake rocks, who helped construct the set in the North End. “This guy just fell out of the sky and offered to build it. We just bought the materials and he donated his time and energy,” Gittings said. Now, Gittings and Heleker will spend the next few months hunched in front of computer screens, piecing together the mass of digital footage in time for submission to film festivals this fall. “We have had so many people give us their time, energy and money,” Heleker said. “They want to see continued movement ... and so do we.” To follow Smoke’s progress, visit smokefilm.com. —Ryan Thorne WWW.

LEMON GINGER HEFEWEIZEN, $4.99-$6.49 Both lemon zest and ginger are added to the boil in this hazy amber pour that has a two-finger head that collapses quickly. Citrus and spice come through on the nose, along with lightly herbal wheatgrass and soft malt. It’s very refreshing, and at 4.6 percent alcohol, extremely quaffable, offering sweet malt balanced by ripe lemon and colored by smooth ginger. It’s great for hot summer days. MINIMALIST BANE IPA, $5.99-$7.99 A crystal-clear, copper-colored brew, this IPA is covered by a thick head that disappears after moments in the glass, leaving a lovely lacing. The aromas are a balanced mix of citruslaced hops and subdued malt and grain. If you are used to the typical Northwest IPA—with its in-your-face hop bitterness—this one may seem a bit tame, but that can be a good thing. The combo of creamy malt, apricot and lightly bitter hops makes for an easy-drinking, very satisfying brew.

COMMUNITY - ANNOUNCEMENTS
ARIES (March 21-April 19): “To know when to stop is of the same importance as to know when to begin,” said the painter Paul Klee. Take that to heart, Aries. You are pretty adept at getting things launched, but you’ve got more to learn about the art of stopping. Sometimes you finish prematurely. Other times you sort of disappear without officially bringing things to a close. Now would be an excellent time to refine your skills. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it’s hard to determine whether or not they are genuine.” So said Joan of Arc back in 1429, right before she helped lead French troops in the battle of Patay. Just kidding! I was trying to make a point that will be useful for you to keep in mind, Taurus, which is: Be skeptical of both wild claims and mild claims. Stay alert for seemingly interesting leads that are really time-wasting half-truths. Be wary for unreliable gossip that would cause an unnecessary ruckus. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): French impressionist painter Claude Monet loved to paint water lilies, and he did so over and over again for many years. Eventually he created about 250 canvases that portrayed these floating flowers. Should we conclude that he repeated himself too much? Should we declare that he was boringly repetitive? Or might we wonder if he kept finding new delights in his comfortable subject? Would we have enough patience to notice that each of the 250 paintings shows the water lilies in a different kind of light, depending on the weather and the season and the time of day? I vote for the latter view and suggest that you adopt a similar approach to the familiar things in your life during the coming weeks. CANCER (June 21-July 22): “In order to swim one takes off all one’s clothes,” said 19th century Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard. “In order to aspire to the truth one must undress in a far more inward sense, divest oneself of all one’s inward clothes, of thoughts, conceptions, selfishness, etc., before one is sufficiently naked.” Your assignment in the coming week, Cancerian, is to get au naturel like that. It’s time for you to make yourself available for as much of the raw, pure, wild truth as you can stand. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Gertrude Stein was an innovative writer. Many illustrious artists were her friends. But she had an overly elevated conception of her own worth. “Think of the Bible and Homer,” she said, “think of Shakespeare and think of me.” On another occasion, she proclaimed, “Einstein was the creative philosophic mind of the
38 | JUNE 29 – JULY 2, 2013 | BOISEweekly C L A S S I F I E D S
century, and I have been the creative literary mind of the century.” Do you know anyone like Stein, Leo? Here’s the truth, in my opinion: To some degree, we are all like Stein. Every one of us has at least one inflated idea about ourselves—a conceited self-conception that doesn’t match reality. It was my turn to confront my egotistical delusions a few weeks ago. Now would be an excellent time for you to deal with yours. Don’t be too hard on yourself, though. Just recognize the inflation, laugh about it and move on.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “The only thing that we learn from history,” said the German philosopher Georg Hegel, “is that we never learn anything from history.” I’m urging you to refute that statement in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. I’m pleading with you to search your memory for every possible clue that might help you be brilliant in dealing with your immediate future. What have you done in the past that you shouldn’t do now? What haven’t you done in the past that you should do now?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When I close my eyes, I get a psychic vision of you as a kid playing outside on a warm summer day. You’re with friends, immersed in a game that commands your full attention. Suddenly, you hear a jingling tune wafting your way from a distance. It’s the ice cream truck. You stop what you’re doing and run inside your home to beg your mom for some money. A few minutes later, you’re in a state of bliss, communing with your Fudgsicle or ice cream cone or strawberry-lime fruit bar. I have a feeling that you will soon experience an adult version of this scene, Virgo. Metaphorically speaking, either the ice cream man or the ice cream woman will be coming to your neighborhood.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): According to my analysis of the astrological omens, now would be a pretty good time to talk about things that are hard to talk about. I don’t necessarily mean that you’ll find it easy to do. But I suspect it would be relatively free of pain and karmic repercussions. There may even be a touch of pleasure once the catharsis kicks in. So try it if you dare, Capricorn. Summon the courage to express truths that have previously been hard to pin down. Articulate feelings that have been murky or hidden. For best results, encourage those you trust to do the same.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): During the past 10 months, you have been unusually adventurous. The last time you summoned so much courage and expansiveness may have been 2001. Please accept my respect and appreciation. You’ve had a sixth sense about knowing when it’s wise to push beyond your limitations and boundaries. You have also had a seventh sense about intuiting when to be crafty and cautious as you wander through the frontiers. Now here’s one of your assignments for the next 12 months: Distill all you’ve learned out there in the borderlands and decide how you will use your wisdom to build an unshakable power spot back here in the heart of the action. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Michael Faraday (1791-1867) was one of the most influential scientists in history. He produced major breakthroughs in both chemistry and physics. Have you ever used devices that run on electricity? You can thank him for playing a major role in developing that wonderful convenience. And yet unlike most scientists, he had only the most elementary grasp of mathematics. In fact, his formal education was negligible. I propose that we name him your role model of the week. He’s a striking example of the fact that you can arrive at your chosen goal by many different paths. Keep that in mind if you’re ever tempted to believe that there’s just one right way to fulfill your dreams.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Are you familiar with Quidditch? It’s a rough sport played by wizards in the fictional world of Harry Potter. All seven books in the series mention it, so it’s an important element. Author J.K. Rowling says she dreamed up the sport after having a quarrel with her boyfriend. “In my deepest, darkest soul,” she reports, “I would quite like to see him hit by a bludger.” (In Quidditch, a bludger is a big black ball made of iron.) I bring this up, Aquarius, because I suspect that you, too, are in position to use anger in a creative and constructive way. Take advantage of your raw emotion to make a lasting improvement in your life. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In his erotic poem “Your Sex,” Joe Bolton exults: “My heart simplified, I touch the bud of happiness—it’s in season. And whatever grief I might have felt before simply dies inside me.” You might want to write that down on a slip of paper and carry it around with you this week, Pisces. According to my understanding of the astrological omens, the bud of happiness is now in season for you. You have good reason to shed the undertones of sadness and fear you carry around with you. I’ll tell you the last lines of Bolton’s poem, because they also apply: “Sometimes I think it’s best just to take pleasure wherever we want and can. Look: the twilight is alive with wild honey.”
