THE OLD COLLEGE TRY The College Experience is one of those cultural rites that Americans can’t seem to get enough of. Ask a member of the Greatest Generation about his or her school days and you’ll be treated to a dewy-eyed time trek that will ultimately result in the conviction that kids were once more innocent, professors sterner (in a good way) and institutions actually meant something. Talk to a Baby Boomer and you’ll be reminded “they” were responsible for the Civil Rights Movement, reproductive rights, the triumph of rock ’n’ roll and the end of the Vietnam War. Gen-Xers will tell you about smoking dope and inventing punk, grunge and irony. (Oh, and cynicism, too.)

The nostalgia levels are nearly toxic. Don’t believe me?

Look no further than the beery genre of old-buddies-reunitefor-shenanigans-with-the-youngsters films, featuring a rotating stable of paunchy dudes.

My own experience wasn’t very colorful. I was in the cohort of kids who entered college just as everyone was discovering the miracle of “The Web.” Electronic mail, instant messaging, MP3 file sharing, LAN parties, these were all revolutionary concepts. Looking back on my own College Experience, a lot of it operated within the confines of Windows 98. As such, the nostalgia trip for my generation will feature a lot of films about dorm-dwellers getting carpal tunnel and cracking out on energy drinks. That and 9/11.

Those trends have only accelerated. My wife, preparing for her third year as an adjunct professor at Boise State University, has had to repeatedly update her syllabus to keep pace with the technology that co-eds can and can’t use in class. It used to be laptops, then it was phones, then tablets, now it’s smartphones and tablets. Next it’ll be Google Glass or something equally obnoxious. On top of all that, it’s now insanely expensive—more so even than when I graduated just 10 years ago. Debt and social isolation. Not a very inspiring buddy movie premise.

There are some universal truths, though: Students will enter college not knowing where to go, how to navigate between freedom and obligation, and who to ask for help.

In honor of this yearly transition from summer to school, Boise Weekly offers a brief guide that will (hopefully) help ease the passage for a few future grads. As for getting out of their rooms and creating some nostalgia-worthy escapades, there’s no guide for that.

BILL COPE/OPINION

SAY THAT AGAIN? And what’s your point, anyway?

“Pataphysics: The science of imaginary solutions ... will explain the universe supplementary to this one.” (Alfred Jarry, 1873-1907) Another thing I do is collect good quotes.

They’re scattered all over. They’re everywhere you look if you’re looking in the right places, and all you have to do is pick them up. I drop them in my Good Quotes file and save them.

It’s like finding marbles some little kid lost decades ago, only instead of ending up in a jam jar in the garage, they end up in my computer.

Some of them I get from Bobby Wolff’s bridge column. He publishes six columns a week, and he leads off every one with a quote.

The other day, he introduced a two no-trump hand with this one: “Every advantage in the past is judged in the light of the final issue.”

(Demosthenes, 384-322 B.C.) I didn’t file that one away. Frankly, I didn’t think it was a very good quote. It’s a good idea, sure. It’s like saying you can’t know how good or bad anything is—from a plan to a child, from to a presidency to a movie—until you see how it turns out.

However, I think the idea could have been stated better. Maybe in the original Greek, it had a little more of that spit and sparkle I look for. In translation, though, it comes off a tad flat, don’t you think? And I mean no offense to Bobby Wolff. I suppose when you have to come up with six quotes a week, you can’t afford to get too bogged down with the spit and sparkle.

So the reason I collect them is that I hope to use them later. Like in one of my own columns, see? I have always admired the practice of one writer quoting another, generally someone more famous or more prestigious, in context with what he or she is writing. It adds a splash of class, doesn’t it? Like topping off a clean shave with a snappy cologne. And believe me, it sure doesn’t hurt to be trying to make a point and having, say, Aristotle or Mark Twain on your side.

For instance, as soon as I found the following: “If we begin with certainties, we will end in doubt; but if we begin with doubts and bear them patiently, we may end in certainty” (Francis Bacon, 1561-1626), I knew if I ever wrote another column about how stupidly ideological the Republican Party has become, I could start off by showing that Bacon and me are mental blood brothers, or something like that. The Sir Francis Bacon. It’s like co-writing an essay on gravity with Isaac Newton, or an article on dieting with Oprah.

Unfortunately, I not only forget which quotes I have stashed away in my Good Quotes file, but more often than not, I forget I even have a Good Quotes file. Since I picked up that Bacon quote, I have probably written... oh, I don’t know... maybe 30 columns on how stupidly ideological the Republican Party has become, and never once remembered I had Sir Bacon at my back.

Here’s another one: “Such labored WWW. B OISEWEEKLY.C O M

nothings, in so strange a style, amaze the unlearned, and make the learned smile.”

(Alexander Pope, 1688-1744) Now, who’s that make you think of? Glenn Beck? Sarah Palin? The entire slate of Republican presidential candidates in last year’s campaign? I could have used it on any or all of them, had I only remembered it was tucked away in my computer.

But no, dummy me. I totally forgot that I had on tap something witty that Alexander Pope had to say about idiots long before Michele Bachmann or Donald Trump were around to demonstrate his point.

U And speaking of points, by now you may be wondering what mine is. Well frankly, friends, so am I. The truth is, I have entered my summer doldrums. It happens every year, usually around mid-August, when so many indicators are indicating summer is packing up for its annual trip south. This mood is typified by a marked lack of interest in what, as a political columnist, I should be interested in. In fact, I find myself not giving a rat’s fanny about anything that doesn’t involve me being outside, looking and smelling and hearing outside stuff while I still can, before the summer folds into all the other summers that have come and gone.

Get it? No? OK, I didn’t say it very well.

I meant it to be, you know, poetic. Or something like that. But it came out sort of flat and dull, not a whiff of that spit and sparkle I look for. And worst of all, now you’re wondering what the hell I’m talking about, am I wrong?

Ah, but looky here! Look at what I’ve found in my Good Quotes file. Maybe this will clear things up: “I think that by retaining one’s childhood love of such things as trees, fishes, butterflies and ... toads, one makes a peaceful and decent future a little more probable.”

(George Orwell, 1903-1950) And isn’t that what separates summers from the long gray interims? Trees and fishes?

Butterflies and toads? I would add fresh tomatoes and new corn and neighbors walking by with their kids and dogs, not having to put on socks, and listening to birds sing even after the sun has gone down.

So then, in lieu of a point of my own, I hereby endorse Orwell’s “peaceful and decent future” as the point to this column. It’s what I meant to say all along, even before I started digging through my computer looking desperately for an idea to write about and stumbled upon my Good Quotes file. You can believe it or not, that’s up to you. And I realize where we’ve ended up has absolutely nothing to do with how we started out: “The science of imaginary solutions,” remember? But you know what old Demosthenes would have to say about it, right? “Every advantage in the past is judged in the light of the final blah, blah, blah.” Or something like that.

OPINION/JOHN REMBER

MEDICAL WRITER Sisyphus Syndrome in real life

Back in 1980, I began working as a writer for HealthData International, a startup medical information company with offices in Ketchum.

My job was to research a disease and write a book about it in layman’s language. If you got a disease and couldn’t understand what your doctor was telling you, you could read my book. There, in plain English, would be the questions to ask, and—no small thing—some state-of-the-art answers.

I was one of a half-dozen writers. At an early meeting, our diseases were given to us. I remember high blood pressure, asthma, ischemic stroke and what might have been pancreatic cancer—I’m not sure, because the writer assigned the disease actually had the disease, and nobody much wanted to talk about it. My own disease was more of a post-disease event than a disease: I was assigned myocardial infarctions, medicalese for heart attacks.

We had trouble with layman’s language.

Our supervisor told us the average American reads at a seventh-grade level. When you’re writing for that level, it’s difficult to look at your audience as anything but seventh-graders.

My working title—So You’ve Gone and Had a Heart Attack—illustrates the problem.

But I persisted. I read several hundred cardiology studies, then flew around the country interviewing people who had done seminal studies in the field.

My trick was to read my interviewees’ books the night before interviews. Famous cardiologist authors ended interviews thinking what a perceptive young man I was, and I ended them with my notes already finished and organized in the form of their books.

One interview stands out in my memory.

It was with the dean of the medical school at State University of New York-Buffalo. Previous interviews had been with people who had left an operating room to talk to me and had gone back to one just as soon as I finished.

Buffalo was different. When I walked into the dean’s office, his secretary said he had cleared his afternoon calendar for me.

The dean had done research on the correlation between intense, hard-driving Type A personalities and heart attacks, and I decided he had deliberately become an easygoing and friendly Type B. Type Bs never work as hard as Type As, but usually they accomplish as much because they think about what they’re doing before they do it.

Sure enough, the dean looked in better shape than any of the younger physicians I’d interviewed. His desk wasn’t cluttered with patients’ files or telemetry data. He was relaxed.

No tics or tremors. He wanted to talk about anything but heart disease.

“I was a bellhop in Sun Valley in 1950,” he told me. “Best years of my life. When I saw where you were from, I agreed to the interview.”

I told him I had been born in the Sun Valley Lodge in 1950, when the resort’s hospital was

6 | AUGUST 21–27, 2013 | BOISEweekly

on the third floor. We had been in the same building at the same time once before.

Sun Valley was almost as full of old people in 1980 as it is now—not the same ones, of course—so we had acquaintances in common. He told me about carrying the bags of movie stars, gangsters’ girlfriends and doomed writers. I told sad stories of my time as a Sun Valley ski patrolman during the late 1960s.

He finally got around to medicine.

“The medical industry is a mess,” he said.

“It will get worse. My students start out determined to make a better world. Then they graduate to 70- and 80-hour work weeks, and spend most of that time reading test results.

Then they figure out they wouldn’t have a job without the subliminally hostile morons out there who eat too much, don’t exercise and smoke. They get subliminally hostile themselves. When they finally make it a better world, it means they’ve bought a Porsche.”

He told me cardiology relied too much on technology and not enough on human touch.

He told me SUNY’s teaching hospital had been in a labor dispute for six weeks and hadn’t installed any pacemakers. The death rate for heart patients had gone down, not up.

I asked him about Type A personalities.

He said, “It’s a diagnosis going around.

Studies bear it out. But when I was still young enough to want to save the world, I came up with a less black-and-white picture of things. I found that my high-stress heart patients, even the successful ones, saw their lives as a succession of failures.

“I called it the Sisyphus Syndrome. People push rocks to the top of a mountain and when they get there, the rocks roll back down again.

That’s what’s causing these high-powered guys to fall over—after every success, they see themselves back at the bottom, angry and disappointed and determined to crush any opposition on their way back to the top.

“But you can’t design parameters for a Sisyphus Syndrome study. Failure is a subjective thing. Of course, you can identify the 11 or so definitive external characteristics of unselfconscious jerks, so we’re talking about Type As instead.”

I never finished my book. HealthData folded later that year. A fellow writer said he was working at his office computer one day when two repo men came in and took it.

I still have a floppy of my manuscript. If you have a Televideo TPC-1 luggable computer where you insert the system disk before the write-to disk, you can read it, but don’t go looking for state-of-the-art answers.

Since that time, I’ve thought of Sisyphus as the bellhop of the gods. I’ve thought about how the results of any scientific study are skewed by the unconscious metaphors of its authors. I’ve thought about the deep uncertainty of scientific knowledge, and, not least, about how worldly success often masks a kind of heart failure.

DRINKING GAMES 10-10 ordinance is Bronco fans’ right of passage HARRISON BERRY

WWW. B OISEWEEKLY.C O M

State’s home opener, Saturday, Sept. 7, when the Broncos face off against the University of Tennessee-Martin.

While police hope to direct their attention to more pressing issues to the community, businesses that rely on the influx of Bronco fans anticipate an additional economic benefit.

For area businesses selling beer, wine and spirits, Bronco game days are some of the busiest of the year. According to a manager at Hayden Beverage Company, which sources alcoholic beverages to purveyors like Albertsons, game days drive 20 percent to 30 percent increases in sales at locations near Boise State.

Another Treasure Valley beverage distributor, Stein Distributing Co., sees a 10 percent to 20 percent increase in game-day sales compared to overall revenues.

“We get a blip [of increased sales],” said Stein President and General Manager John Grizzaffi.

He was optimistic about how the 10-10 program might affect Stein’s sales.

“It would probably increase beer sales even more,” he said.

For Hayden and Stein, Bronco game days won’t make or break their businesses, but for many of the bars near Boise State, the difference between a Bronco game day and an average Saturday is dramatic.

There are two kinds of regular customers at End Zone, according to bartender James Meyer: regulars and game-day regulars. The former, Meyer says, account for the majority of End Zone’s business, but the latter triple the bar’s business on nights following a Bronco game, then they disappear.

“I might not see them for the rest of the year,” he said.

Bartender Griffy Bibean of Suds Tavern is more explicit in his estimation of what game days mean for his bar.

“It keeps us alive for the rest of the year,” he said.

Reports from area businesses describe an alcohol consumer base that’s a mix of students, alumni and fans; but while neighboring

businesses anticipate boosts in game-day alcohol sales under the 10-10 pilot, Boise State Associate Dean of Students Blaine Eckles presides over a student body with a surprising relationship to alcohol.

According to a 2011 Boise State study, 25 percent of respondents reported having never had an alcoholic beverage, but perceived non-use of alcohol was just 3 percent. While perceived daily alcohol consumption was as high as 15.2 percent, the reality is that 1.2 percent reported drinking daily.

“A lot of people’s perceptions about college drinking are not the case,” Eckles said.

As the university takes on more traditional students, ages 18-22 seeking bachelor’s degrees, it’s setting the stage for their coming-of-age activities, including alcohol consumption.

Eckles is proceeding with caution. The effect of an expansion of Boise State’s tailgating space on students is an unknown, but Eckles refrained from opining on whether the 10-10 pilot would aid or detract from Boise State’s atmosphere.

“Until we go through the experience, I can’t speculate [as to how the program will affect Boise State]. At the end of the day, we’re looking for people to engage in responsible behavior. I’m an optimist,” he said.

STATE OF IDAHO: HOME WRECKERS?

JA MES LLOYD

Scores of citizens who squeezed into the chambers of the Boise City Council July 30 would have to wait. Most came to push back against a controversial and much-publicized proposal to put panhandlers on a tighter leash (BW, Citydesk, “Boise Council Mulls Anti-Panhandling Ordinances,” July 31, 2013).

Some clucked and impatiently wriggled in their seats as the Council pushed another issue— the so-called “10-10” program, which would rewrite the city’s open container law—to the front burner.

The Council ultimately shelved the anti-panhandling proposal, but waved the 10-10 ordinance through, moving toward its final reading and approval Aug. 13. The plan establishes an alcohol-friendly area in Julia Davis Park between Zoo Boise and Broadway Avenue on Bronco football game days from 10 a.m.-10 p.m.

For Bronco fans, the so-called “10-10” pilot program cracks open a new space for drinking.

For Boise Police Chief Mike Masterson, it’s a green light to redirect game-day partying away from residential areas, freeing the police to “focus on enforcement of more pressing issues.”

“We want to move tailgaters to campus and the park, and out of our neighborhoods,” Masterson said.

Though the Civil Sidewalk Ordinance won more headlines, the 10-10 Ordinance may be one of the most significant measures passed by the City Council this year, affecting tens of thousands of Boise State students, staff, fans, neighbors and owners of nearby businesses.

The ordinance, crafted by the Boise Police Department, stemmed from a rash of misunderstandings resulting in open container ordinance violations.

“People who otherwise are law-abiding citizens were confused on where they could legally have alcohol,” said BPD spokeswoman Lynn Hightower.

As the Bronco football team’s popularity has grown, so has the number of attendees and partiers, and the revelry has spilled outside Boise State’s alcohol safe harbor. Between 10 and 20 police officers patrol the university area on game days; yearly they hand out between 250 and 300 open container citations.

“People were pushed off [Boise State’s designated drinking area]. It’s just not big enough,” said Hightower.

Simultaneously, BPD indicated it needed to focus its priorities on rowdy behavior, driving under the influence and littering, rather than ticketing fans for alcohol consumption.

“Things like that have been the quality-of-life issues for people who also live there,” Hightower said.

In response, Masterson told city officials that on home game days in designated areas around the university, his officers will no longer be “the cup police or smell park visitors’ cups,” hence the 10-10 program, which takes effect at Boise

The fates of 603 (left) and 605 W. Franklin Street will be determined soon.

John Bertram wasn’t mincing words.

“I’m using the word ‘bully,’” said the president of Preservation Idaho.

Bertram sat with Boise Weekly on the stoop of the century-old Knudsen House at 603 W. Franklin St. The trees lining the neighborhood street provided plenty of shade that August afternoon, but offered little comfort to Bertram. He was steaming.

“The state of Idaho bullied their way through this,” he said.

“This” is the controversy swirling around the Idaho Legislature’s decision to fasttrack an $8 million, 600-space parking garage (BW, News, “Idaho House Votes to Push Away City of Boise Rules,” Aug. 2, 2013), including the purchase of two properties, the Knudsen House and another house and lot next door at 605 W. Franklin.

But it turns out that the two homes, which the state wants vanished, aren’t even needed for the parking garage.

“They want to turn this space into another surface lot,” said Bertram, referring to the beautiful corner lot where the Knudsen House sits. The home is named for its longtime owner, Harry Knudsen, co-founder of Morrison Knudsen Corp.

“And the lot next door would be used for water runoff retention,” said Bertram, who added there was some hope for the Knudsen House.

“The good news is that there’s a guy named Burr Boynton,” said Bertram.

Boynton told BW that he has put together a deal to move the Knudsen House to the 800 block of West Franklin—two blocks away—by the end of the year. But first, he’ll need permission from the Boise Historic Preservation Commission. There’s already another house on the lot where Boynton wants to relocate the Knudsen House.

“With some work, we’ll bring out the beauty of the Knudsen House.”

The thought of moving any building, let alone an historic landmark, is intimidating.

“It’s a big project,” said Boynton. “Not overwhelming.”

Meanwhile, the fate of the house at 605 W. Franklin doesn’t look so rosy. A deadline has come and gone for a proposal to move the home. Bertram told BW that bulldozers could be moving in soon.

“I don’t know if the state is incompetent or just being a bully,” he said.

CITIZEN

CURT APSEY It’s all about consistency GEORGE PRENTICE For those who weren’t familiar with you before September 2011, everyone quickly got to know you when you were named as interim athletic director after Gene Bleymaier was fired. Were those difficult or challenging days?

It wasn’t difficult. It was challenging. Am I going to say I slept 10 hours a night? Absolutely not. That happened in early September, right about the same time of our first football game.

When President [Bob] Kustra asked me to do that, there was no hesitation for me to help keep our train rolling in the right direction.

But when you’re responsible for 475 student athletes and 150 staff, you lean on a lot of people. I remember our first staff meeting. My main message was, “Don’t worry about your job. Do your job.” When you have a change of leadership like that, people get nervous; it’s human nature. But those looking for jobs probably aren’t doing their job.

You were a pretty great soccer player and coach, and both of your daughters participate in the sport. Were you ever their coach?

It’s funny, both of my girls got hooked on soccer pretty naturally. I learned it was better to watch from the sidelines and be a dad. If they asked, I would give suggestions.

How do you compare the Boise State that greeted you in 1998 and today’s university?

Oh man. Boise as a city has changed dramatically. It’s not a hidden gem anymore. But the university has really gone to a completely different level. It’s the quickest growth I’ve ever been a part of. When I got here, our athletic budget was $9.5 million. Now, it’s $36 million.

Prior to 1998, most of your life and career had been spent in California. Did you seek out the Boise State job?

I got a call from a good friend of mine, Mark Rosen, who was then the Boise State women’s volley coach, saying that I would be a good fit for an opening at Boise State. I didn’t know anything about Idaho. I interviewed for the job, got an offer, but initially said no. Then [Athletic Director] Gene Bleymaier called me back and said, “You’ve got to do this.” That was December 1998 and I’m still here.

Tell us about the new video board currently being installed inside Bronco Stadium.

We’re retiring Old Blue out there. We put in the old Bronco Vision in 2001. It lived a great life. That video board was 18 by 24 [feet].

The new video board is 36 by 58 [feet]. Come the first week of September, if everything goes right, we’ll turn it on.

As we sit here this morning, the USA Today Coaches Poll has ranked the Boise State football team as No. 19 in the nation.

JER EM Y LANNINGHAM

Curt Apsey can’t relax and watch every second of every Boise State University football game.

“At least not as much of the game as I used to,” he said with a big laugh.

He’s too busy making sure that everyone else is experiencing the total Bronco Nation experience.

“A big part of my job includes all of the moving pieces of marketing and promotion,” said Apsey. “So, I really like to spend game day saying, ‘Thank you.’”

Apsey has lost count of how many “thank yous” he’s said in the 15 years that he has served as Boise State’s senior associate athletic director.

Boise Weekly had a rare sit-down with Apsey (he’s almost always in motion) to talk about the university’s evolution, changes to Bronco Stadium and the outlook for this season’s football team.

Quite honestly, the poll at the beginning of the season really doesn’t mean anything. It’s where you end up.

But this is the fifth straight year that the Broncos have been in the Top 20 pre-season poll, and that’s based on year-after-year success. That’s consistency.

It’s funny that you say that. “Consistent” is a big word in our football program. Our head coach has been here since 2001. Being consistent is all about providing an environment where people want to stay.

How good is this year’s football team?

I’m not going to kid you. We lost a lot of really good players, but we have great players in our program. You try not to focus on the end result. It’s the process. I firmly believe that if you focus on the process, the end result is always going to get better.

My sense is that you love your job.

I’ve been doing this a long time.

But doing something a long time doesn’t always translate into passion.

Without question, I love the people that I’m around. Everyday, I’m coming to work and I’m contributing to the development of these students. And when they walk away with a victory, and then they walk away with a college degree, that makes me feel pretty good. I can’t think of doing anything else.

So, you want to be the big man—or woman—on campus this year. Well, that’s going to take a lot of time and dedication because, let’s admit it, it ain’t easy being a crazy college kid these days. Between sock hops and socials, there’s hardly time for guys and gals to hit the books before that hard-nosed professor is threatening a pop quiz.

But with a little guidance, every student can be on the stick. That’s right, no one will think you’re a total spaz when you know where to go, how to get there and what’s the lowdown.

Boise Weekly is here to offer a little gentle guidance with a few dos and don’ts. Learn some handy lessons from your imaginary peers before you get in over your head, and soon all your friends will think you’re one hep cat.

BRAD GETS A SMARTPHONE

Smar t apps and websites for the A+ student CHRIS GRAPES

Meet Brad. Brad is a new college student who’s just moved to Boise from out of state. Brad’s an average everyday student— he’s outgoing, enthusiastic and keeps up to date with technology and trends. He has a smartphone that never leaves his side, along with a laptop for serious schoolwork.

Brad wakes up in the morning and checks his to-do list and schedule via the Remember The Milk app on his smartphone(rememberthemilk.com). It’s a pretty busy day today for Brad—a lecture in the morning, an exam in the early afternoon and a first draft of an essay due afterward.

Then tonight he’s supposed to meet up with some new friends downtown for appetizers and drinks.

Brad’s roommate, Glenn, also has a busy day.

He can’t quite remember what his schedule is, though. He must have written it down somewhere...

Brad heads to the lecture, where he takes notes on his laptop with Evernote (evernote.com), which also syncs to his smartphone app.

Glenn arrives 10 minutes late and scribbles his notes into a torn notebook, somewhere between his calculus notes and to-do list for last Thursday.

After the lecture Brad does some lastminute flashcard revision for his exam via StudyBlue (studyblue.com). Glenn tries to do the same, but the study lab is full. He instead goes over his notes, but after finding the right scrap of paper, he can barely read his own handwriting.

Brad returns home to type up his essay, using the notes from the lecture earlier.

Purdue’s OWL site (owl.english.purdue.

edu/owl) helps him with proper formatting and citations. He creates a bibliography by scanning the barcodes of his books with his EasyBib app (easybib.com)—books, by the way, that he managed to find cheap online via Bigwords.com. Once he’s done, he backs up the essay onto his Dropbox cloud storage (dropbox.com) and emails it off to his professor. Glenn writes up his essay once he manages to sort out his notes.

He struggles trying to remember all the necessary formatting and citations. Horror of horrors, his computer crashes just after he finishes. It’s all gone, every word of it.

Brad’s worked up quite a hunger after all that; but, as is the norm with student living, his pantry is virtually bare.

Just a few sparse ingredients that he puts into his Big Oven app (bigoven. com) generate a decent recipe for him. Tonight it’s a bacon and corn risotto.

Glenn looks at him enviously over his bowl of Top Ramen.

Of course, all work and no play makes Brad a dull boy. Even though he’s new to town, he knows exactly where to go for the best happy hour deals, thanks to his Cocktail Compass app (cocktailcompass. com). He arranges to meet his friends at a bar that’s also a venue featured on his BW Smartcard app (weeklycard.com/ boise), saving him even more money. Useful, as tomorrow he’ll have to head to the grocery store to restock the pantry using his Grocery IQ list (groceryiq.com). Glenn, meanwhile, is still back at the dorm, typing up his essay for the second time.

RULES OF THE ROAD Mar y, Judy and Buddy get a transit lesson DEANNA DARR You want to go to school, but you’re not sure how best to get yourself there?

Coming up with a convenient transportation plan is sure to ease your path to higher education.

It’s a lesson Mary and Judy know well, but that Buddy could use some work on.

Mary lives close to campus and is able to use her bicycle not only to get to campus, but also between classes once she’s there. Mary thinks the additional $100,000-worth of new bike racks installed on campus over the summer are keen.

J.C. Porter, assistant director for transportation and parking at Boise State University, agrees, adding that 20 percent of students ride bikes to campus, and parking those bikes hasn’t always

WWW. B OISEWEEKLY.C O M

been so peachy.

In fact, so many students think bike riding is swell, that the university doubled the number of bikes it rents out for the year or semester, now offering 50 cruisers for students to use. Mary thinks the school’s Cycling Learning Center in the Lincoln Garage—where she can get a bike tire fixed or have a tuneup done—is the very most.

When Mary has questions about getting around, or how to use the bike lockers inside the parking garages, she heads straight for the transit center in its new home in the Student Union.

But sometimes the snow is flying or Mary needs to get her project to the science fair, and her bike isn’t an option.

Still, Mary doesn’t get her knee socks in a twist. She turns to the city’s bus

system, where her student ID gets her a free ride.

Unlike Mary, both Judy and Buddy depend on their cars to get around, but parking on campus means planning ahead. Parking spaces are at a premium, and Porter said the university lost between 50 and 60 spaces when the new recreation field was put in.

While that puts the varsity players over the moon, it means drivers like Judy and Buddy need to know the program.

Buddy plays fast and loose with parking. He’s a rebel and doesn’t think he needs a parking pass for his wheels. Buddy leaves it to chance to find a spot.

Judy buys a reserved parking permit for one of the parking structures on

campus for $320 a year so she knows she’ll always have a spot waiting for her.

If those sell out, she can pony up for a $118 general parking permit, meaning she can park on campus if she can find a spot.

When Judy is parking near the bake sale, Buddy is still cruising in Nowheresville, looking for a space to park his beater.

By the time Judy is ready to head to the malt shop, Buddy has finally found an open spot and is turning out his pockets for the $1.50 per hour charge.

Judy even gets a gold star for buying her parking permit online at transportation.boisestate.edu—the way all the with-it kids do.

Or as Porter says, “pay online, avoid the line.”

BILLY LOSES HIS BIKE Cr ime happens HARRISON BERRY

Billy didn’t think it would happen to him.

He cruised up to the bike rack, hung up his helmet and bopped to class, but when he returned, someone had stolen his ride. What began as a boss day had turned into a downer: How would Billy get to his next class, let alone back to his pad?

Boise State is bike friendly and becoming more so. In 2012 it was honored in the League of American Bicyclists’ Bicycle Friendly Universities program. But Billy just learned that maintaining Boise State’s bike friendliness— and sparing himself anguish and long walks— means securing his goods against theft.

According to the Boise Police Department, the theft of small, portable items, including bikes, is a perennial challenge to universities and their surrounding neighborhoods.

According to BPD, between Aug. 1, 2012, and May 31, 2013— the heart of the Boise State academic year—61 bikes were reported stolen.

Had Billy attended to the safety of his stuff, a bike thief wouldn’t be harvesting his sole mode of transportation for parts. What’s a poor student to do? BPD has a number of tips to help discourage bike theft and get stolen property back at the BPD website (police.cityofboise.org).

First, Billy should have selected an appropriate bike lock. BPD recommends Ulocks—rigid steel locks that clamp shut with a metal crossbar—because of their strength and resistance to the grab-and-go methods of bike thieves.

“It’s not as easily defeated, it’s a thicker metal—it’s also pretty easy to connect a bike to whatever bike rack is available,” said Lt. Tony Plott.

“Cable locks are not the preferred method of locking your bike,” he added.

12 | AUGUST 21–27, 2013 | BOISEweekly

After selecting a bike lock, Billy should know more about other resources available to bike owners to make it easy for the police to identify stolen bikes in the event of theft. Had Billy registered his ride with the police, he may have been able to recover his property.

“Registration is a simple and easy process.

Help us help you keep your property safe,” said Lt. Plott.

But Billy shouldn’t drown his woes by going on a bender and getting wild. According to a 2011 Boise State survey, nonconsensual sexual touching was reported by 3.6 percent of respondents and stalking was reported by 6.5 percent of respondents.

Fortunately Billy’s parents raised him right. Billy knows to always be hip to what’s happening around him.

“Being informed and alert to suspicious activity is a key component to public safety,” said Lt. Plott.

Billy’s parents might still worry that drinking is common at Boise State, but just 11.4 percent of students report boozing 10-29 days per month and 45.4 percent of students reported drinking one to nine days per month.

According to the BPD, underage drinking is a priority for enforcement.

Billy’s parents can feel a little more secure knowing that more police will be around at large on-campus gatherings. In the wake of national tragedies like those at Sandy Hook Elementary and the Boston Marathon, BPD and Boise State campus security are taking special steps to ensure the safety of students and the public.

Now that Billy knows how to keep himself and his property safe at Boise State, he’ll be cool as a cucumber.

BUILDING AND GROWING

Julia and James find big changes on campus ANDREW CRISP Julia, a Boise State sophomore, is a good student. She has things all figured out— she’ll ride her bright beach cruiser when she returns to campus, Monday, Aug. 26.

James, however, a first year business major living in Chaffee Hall, could use a little help. While James recently picked up a bike, he’s been narrowly dodging pedestrians on campus.

On details big and small, staff are working to build a better environment for students. Campus Planning and Facilities Department staff work on anywhere from 80-100 projects at a time—from the bigtime COBE Building to the placement of shiny new bike racks.

Dave Cooper, interim director of Architectural and Engineering Services at Boise State, said officials are trying to point students toward a new bike route along Cesar Chavez Lane, a route with access for students on two-wheeled steeds.

“The intent of that bike route is to give bicycles a quick route through campus, but out on the periphery of the quad,” said Cooper.

Students should notice new access points near Theater Lane and the Interactive Learning Center, said Cooper. New dedicated paths are designed to help students visit Boise State with or without a car.

“We’re trying to reduce the university’s impact, from a carbon footprint standpoint,” said David Smith, the new associate vice president of Campus Planning and Facilities.

“The more bicycles and pedestrians you have on campus, the less impact that you have on the carbon footprint,” he added.

Guys and gals will also find a revamped place to eat and cram for classes. Extensive renovations to the student lounge on the first floor of the Student Union include a redesigned seating area, including new carpet, according to Cooper.

“It’s probably been 10 to 12 years since we’ve done an overhaul to that area,” he said.

Julia, a biology major, will also notice a makeover of classrooms in the mathematics building. The Math Learning Center—formerly housed at 1406 Chrisway Drive—is now in a new space just down the hall from her classes.

“If you were a biology student, you would notice some changes immediately,” said Cooper.

“We’re opening a number of new class-

WWW. B OISEWEEKLY.C O M

rooms over there, and we’ve had a major renovation of that building,” he said.

Officials are also planning for a huge new Fine Arts Building for right-brained Broncos.

While shovels won’t turn for some time, plans call for approximately four stories and 100,000 square feet of steel and glass, and once built, the facility will house the university’s Art Department and Arts and Humanities Institute. Boise State is requesting $15 million from the Legislature to help pay for the project.

“Until the Legislature passes it, and the governor signs it, it doesn’t exist,” said Smith.

Across campus, Smith hopes students will note attention to detail, including landscaping. James, however, doesn’t pay much attention to the school’s greenery. James plays disc golf on the newly rehabilitated Intramural Field, adjacent to the Student Union Building. But he finds himself mowed down by not only Boise State football players, but a tongue-lashing from Coach Chris Petersen.

Boise State’s Broncos will practice their plays on the grassy field, during fall camp through September. But the Broncos’ use of the Intramural Field is only temporary, according to university officials.

Buildings that formerly housed the university’s Diesel Technology, Applied Technology and Mechanical Technology programs on Bronco Circle will be bulldozed to make way for the new grass field.

“They’ll be replaced with a new grass practice field for intercollegiate athletics, and there will most likely be some sand volleyball courts associated with that. It’ll be shared use between athletics and intramurals,” Cooper said.

James regularly plays fast-paced bouts of quidditch and flag football with his fellow Boise State students. After lacing up his tennis shoes, James and his teammates tromp across the newly opened Recreation Turf Field—freshly striped and lined with bleachers—at the corner of University Boulevard and Lincoln Avenue.

When Julia and James both step into Bronco Stadium this fall, they’ll notice not only the newly completed Gene Bleymaier Football Complex—the new home for Boise State football coaches, players and staff—but a 60-foot by 33-foot video screen atop the building. It’s perfect for the first big home game.

Cheer up, Boise Classic Movies is here to offer a little salvation.

The latest installment of the film series screens Thursday, Aug. 22, with O Brother, Where Art Thou? at the Egyptian Theatre.

Masquerading as The Soggy Bottom Boys, a Southern folk band, Everett McGill (Clooney) and his gang of simple-minded cohorts become a singing sensation as they battle sirens, a cyclops in the form of a Boss Tweedesque bigwig and the Ku Klux Klan on the road to riches.

The event is sponsored by ECO of Idaho. Beer and wine will be available for those 21 and older. Tickets are $9 online or $11 at the door on the night of the show.

With a bona fide bluegrass soundtrack and plenty of poetic justice to boot, whether you’re perpetually unhappy or blissfully contented with your life, spending a night with The Soggy Bottom Boys beats getting hit by a train or being coerced into singing “You Are My Sunshine” by a white supremacist any day.

SATURDAY AUG. 24 true colors COLOR RUN Stand at the start line of The Color Run (aka the “Happiest 5K On The Planet”) with runners lined up in pristine white T-shirts and you might wonder where the name comes from. Trust us, those shirts won’t stay sparkly white for long. When the race is finished, those shirts could probably be framed as modern art.

Starting at Parkcenter Park, the clean and tidy racers head down Parkcenter Boulevard to Baggley Park and back again. At every kilometer along the route, runners encounter color stations, where enthusiastic volunteers pummel participants with dyed cornstarch powder—all perfectly safe and easily washable. By the time the racers cross the finish line, they will be less Usain Bolt and more Jackson Pollock.

The Color Run is purely for fun—no winners’ podiums here—with runners encouraged to go at their own leisurely pace, some even doubling back to get an extra coat of purple to round off their ensemble. If you’re happy with your “art” the way it is, stick to the middle lane to avoid any further highlights.

Registration costs $50 for individuals or $45 per person for a team of four or more. A portion of proceeds—as well as donations—benefit the Girl Scouts of Silver Sage. Checkin and packet pickup is from 11 a.m.-7 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 22, and Friday, Aug. 23, at the Sports Authority on North Milwaukee Road near Boise Towne Square. The race goes off on Saturday, Aug. 24, in two waves, at 9 a.m. and 9:40 a.m. Runners might want to consider covering their car seats in plastic before driving home.

A swipe of a paw is all it takes to trigger the shutter and snap a shot of your Siamese, which can then be instantly uploaded for the world to admire. Owners barely need to lift a finger, giving them more time to scoop litter boxes and refill food bowls.

Why stop there, though? What about a feline Facebook? MySpace for Maine Coons? You can hardly imagine what your tabby might tweet—presumably, if they’re anything like us, their newsfeeds would be a constant stream of human pics.

Storie Grubb performs at the first-ever Singer-Songwriter Showcase Showdown at The Crux.

AUSTIN CLARK WINS SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN Heather Roberts had a hard time keeping up with the crowd at The Crux’s inaugural Singer-Songwriter Showcase Showdown on Wednesday, Aug. 14.

“This night has been more successful than we anticipated,” she said to the audience 40 minutes into the show. Soon after, she ran out to make more voting ballots.

More than 60 people showed up to vote for their favorite performers. Although Beth and Tate Mason from Americana group Idyltime and Storie Grubb delivered strong performances, The Fiddle Junkies’ Austin Clark won the show’s grand prize: five hours of free recording time at Tonic Room Studios.

This show—and the three singer-songwriter showcases that led up to it—were conceived by Roberts. Under the name Ten Gallon Cat, she has started promoting concerts as part of her master plan to cultivate local folk music and songwriters.

“There’s a lot of music that I would love to share with Boise that comes from the Northwest,” she said before the show, “and people [who] have never been here because it’s not necessarily … seen as a folk music community. But I think that that’s a fallacy.”

Wednesday night’s turnout would suggest she’s right.

Roberts estimated that audiences for The Crux’s past three showcases averaged about 30 people. By the end of the first set (around 7:40 p.m.), the crowd numbered 50.

The Masons, who won July’s Singer-Songwriter Showcase, played first. Tate’s nasal timbre and nimble banjo picking blended nicely with Beth’s warm, low vocals and steady guitar strumming. Their jaunty bluegrass tunes and funny, earthy lyrics recalled the work of Steve Goodman and John Prine.

Austin Clark, winner of May’s showcase, played next. His lyrics lacked the specificity of the Masons’, but his polished, catchy melodies compensated. Similarly, his singing was so direct and assured that it balanced out his affectedly gritty drawl.

What really put his set over, however, was Craig Christ’s slick, tasteful guitar accompaniment.

Last up was Storie Grubb, who won the showcase in June.

While his cryptic lyrics and quietly abrasive murmur may have made him less accessible than the other performers, his wellcrafted tunes and deft guitar playing still earned some decent applause.

But even before the crowd had turned in its ballots, the raucous reception that Clark received indicated he was a sure winner. Roberts congratulated him, adding with a smile that she thought “he should give a lot of the credit to Craig.”

Roberts also announced that the fourth Singer-Songwriter Showcase series at The Crux starts in September. The showcases are held the second Wednesday of the following three months, culminating in another showdown in December. Anyone with 30 minutes of original material who wants to perform can contact Roberts at heath35@gmail.com.

GUT SHABBES True Story tells it (and plays it) like it is.

TRUE STORY MELDS MUSIC WITH SPOKEN WORD One night in 2012, Eric Valentine was hanging out with his friend Anderson Mitchell. After Mitchell had played a couple of his songs and Valentine had read a couple of his short stories, the two men discussed how their work shared certain themes.

Then Mitchell grabbed his guitar and told Valentine to read one of his stories again.

“And so I started reading, and he started strumming,” Valentine said. “And we looked at each other and we thought, ‘You know what? We’re onto something.’”

The Idaho Songwriters Association agreed. Valentine and Mitchell received a standing ovation when they performed with vocalist Tehya Fencik at one of the organization’s forums in November of that year.

Now featuring a seven-person lineup, Mitchell and Valentine’s project, True Story, will headline an ISA concert at the Riverside Hotel’s Sapphire Room on Friday, Aug. 23.

When the two men became friends in 2011, Mitchell knew that Valentine had done some writing and TRUE STORY editing, “but Friday, Aug. 23, 8 p.m. $7 he didn’t regeneral admission, $10 ally see me preferred seating. Riverside as someone Hotel Sapphire Room, 2900 who wrote W. Chinden Blvd., Garden City. 208-343-1871, get anything tickets at id-song-assoc. literary,” ticketbud.com.

Valentine said.

In fact, Valentine had worked for newspapers in California and written jokes for Saturday Night Live in the early ’90s, informing True Story’s ruminative, humorous pieces.

Described as “theatrical folk,” “storytelling blues” and “musical literature,” True Story’s material wouldn’t fare well amid the chatter of a busy night downtown. The videos for “Fuji” and “Choose Life”—on the band’s website, truestory-band.com—run 6 minutes and 7 minutes long, respectively.

They mix sung passages with nonfiction narratives that require active listening.

“We really need a captive audience,” Valentine said. “We can’t really be background music. Otherwise, it’s like, ‘Why’s this guy talking so much?’”

The unique demands that the pieces make on an audience, as well as the logistics of a seven-person lineup, limit the times and places True Story can perform— typically only one or two shows a month.

Consequently, the Aug. 23 show may be one of the few times when people can see True Story before wintertime, which Valentine hopes to devote to recording.

CERBERUS REX, AUG. 27, NEUROLUX In Greek mythology, the Hydra was a multi-headed beast that lurked in the marshes of Lerna. When Hercules cut off one of its heads, two more grew back. To defeat the monster, Iolaus had to burn the Hydra’s necks immediately after its heads were severed and then Hercules had to bury the Hydra’s immortal center head beneath a rock.

Although local band Cerberus Rex takes its name from one of the Hydra’s siblings, it seems as though similar methods would be required to stop this band from playing. The group suffered some setbacks when guitarist Pat Perkins split and bassist/lead singer Josh Galloway severed his thumb.

Nonetheless, an opening slot in May for Thrones found the self-described “three headed, river of Styx guarding, dog king of rock” in fine, ferocious form. After this tour kickoff show, Cerberus Rex will depart to terrorize the greater Northwest.

THE HEAD AND THE HEART, AUG. 28, NEUROLUX When The Head and the Heart played Boise in 2011, the experience was unique enough to make the lede for the band’s write-up in Rolling Stone: “To understand the overwhelming optimism of Seattle folk-rock band The Head and the Heart, just look at how they conquered Boise, Idaho.”

Long story short, they sputtered at a nightclub but built a fanbase by playing gratis at pizza joints and farmers markets.

Back then, The H and the H were just another bunch of 20-something folksters bombing around the Northwest. Now, the band is officially a Big Deal, with appearances on latenight talk shows, international tours and, holy of holies, songs used in TV shows. All this with only one full-length album. That changes Oct. 15, when the band releases Let’s Be Still. To celebrate, Boise gets conquered again Wednesday, Aug. 28, at Neurolux. Find new track “Shake” on YouTube.

lines in a design reminiscent of the branch rounds radiating from the Sesqui-Shop’s western wall.

Furlong acknowledged the similarities between the two exhibits but stressed that they should be considered separately.

“Even though the titles are similar, they’re completely different bodies of work,” she said.

Even so, Standing Still: The Trees is in the service of the Boise 150 celebration, in part because Furlong’s themes and style jibe with the month of August theme set by the SesquiShop: the environment.

“Her work tends to deal with environmental themes,” said Rachel Reichert, Sesqui-Shop curator and manager and communications manager for the Boise City Department of Arts and History. “She was a natural fit.”

A longtime member of Boise’s artistic community, Furlong’s abilities as an artist allowed for what amounted to a monthlong artist-inresidence position and subsequent exhibit, even though she was given only a limited set of instructions.

“I gave her a theme and a broad direction,” Reichert said.

Furlong, for whom this is not the first artist residency, has adapted productively to the environment of the Sesqui-Shop. She says visitors have stopped to watch her produce the artworks that make up the exhibit, and a few have assisted her in her efforts. These visitors, many of whom are without extensive art or art history backgrounds, have given her new outlooks on her work.

“I think it’s nice to talk to people who are totally unfamiliar with what I’m doing,” Furlong said.

The fruits of Furlong’s three weeks in the Sesqui-Shop culminate in a capstone event: a reception, Thursday, Aug. 22, from 6-8 p.m., when Furlong will present Standing Still as a finished product. Until then, she will continue to work at the shop most days doing what she has been doing since Aug. 1: “I’m taking these pieces of trees and putting them back together,” she said.

EVERYBODY MUST GET STONE It is hard to imagine a more cutting edge, innovative craft brewery than Escondido, Calif.’s Stone Brewing Co., whose tongue-incheek motto says it all: “You’re not worthy.”

And when three new Stone 22-ounce bombers roll into town all at once, it gives local beer aficionados cause to pause and celebrate.

STONE ENJOY BY 09.13.13 IPA, $5.99-$7.99 This didn’t reach town in time for me to taste it, but it will be here when this issue hits stands. Last January’s release was mindbogglingly good, and the formula remains the same. It’s an amazingly fresh and balanced IPA. As Boise Co-op Beer Guy Matt Gelsthorpe opined, “While ‘Enjoy By’ is available, there’s no reason to drink any other beer.”

STONE R&R COCONUT IPA, $6.99-$8.99 The latest release in Stone’s Collaboration series takes its inspiration from a recipe conceived by homebrewers Robert Masterson and Ryan Reschan, and was brewed in conjunction with fellow California innovator Rip Current. The mix boasts 280 pounds of coconut, but its influence is subtle. With a fresh nuttiness backing the hop aromas, on the palate it has bold, piney hops up front, with touches of fruit in the middle and just a hint of coconut on the finish.

STONE 17TH ANNIVERSARY GOTTERDAMMERUNG IPA, $5.99-$6.99 For No. 17, Stone is celebrating all things Deutsch, sticking with German hops and pilsner malts. This brew offers fruit-laced, soft hop aromas with some earthy spiciness. It’s a bit of a split personality, opening with a nice hit of bitter hops, complemented by smooth pilsner malt flavors that seem like they escaped from a lighter bodied brew. This delightfully different, definitely delicious brew closes with baking spices.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19): An Indian student named Sankalp Sinha has invented the “Good Morning Sing N Shock.” It’s an alarm clock that plays you a song and gives you a small electrical jolt when you hit the snooze button. The voltage applied is far less intense than, say, a Taser, and is designed to energize you rather than disable you. I encourage you to seek out wake-up calls like the kind this device administers, Aries: fairly gentle, yet sufficiently dramatic to get your attention.

The alternative would be to wait around for blind fate to provide the wake-up calls. They might be a bit more strenuous.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20): If you google the statement “I can change overnight,” most of the results that come up are negative, like “It’s not something I can change overnight” or “I don’t think I can change overnight.”

But there’s one google link to “I can change overnight.” It’s a declaration made by Taurus painter Willem de Kooning. He was referring to how unattached he was to defining his work and how easy it was for him to mutate his artistic style. I wouldn’t normally advise you Tauruses to use “I can change overnight” as your battle cry. But for the foreseeable future you do have the power to make some rather rapid and thorough transformations.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20): “The artist is by necessity a collector,” said graphic designer Paul Rand.

“He accumulates things with the same ardor and curiosity with which a boy stuffs his pockets.

He borrows from the sea and from the scrap heap; he takes snapshots, makes mental notes, and records impressions on tablecloths and newspapers. He has a taste for children’s wall scrawling as appreciative as that for prehistoric cave painting.” Whether or not you’re an artist, Gemini, this would be an excellent approach for you in the coming days. You’re in a phase when you can thrive by being a gatherer of everything that attracts and fascinates you. You don’t need to know yet why you’re assembling all these clues. That will be revealed in good time.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22): Can you remember the last time you bumped up against a limitation caused by your lack of knowledge? What did it feel like?

I expect that sometime soon you will have that experience again.

You may shiver with worry as you contemplate the potential consequences of your continued ignorance. But you may also feel the thrill of hungry curiosity rising up in you. If all goes well, the fear and curiosity will motivate you to get further educated. You will set to work on a practical plan to make it happen.

30 | AUGUST 21–27, 2013 | BOISEweekly C L A S S I F I E D S

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22): “My story isn’t sweet and harmonious like invented stories,” wrote novelist Herman Hesse. “It tastes of folly and bewilderment, of madness and dream, like the life of all people who no longer want to lie to themselves.” As interesting as Hesse’s declaration is, let’s not take it as gospel. Let’s instead envision the possibility that when people reduce the number of lies they tell themselves, their lives may become sweeter and more harmonious as a result. I propose that exact scenario for you right now, Leo. There might be a rough adjustment period as you cut back on your self-deceptions, but eventually your folly and bewilderment will diminish as the sweet harmony grows.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22): Novelist James Joyce once articulated an extreme wish that other writers have probably felt but never actually said. “The demand that I make of my reader,” said Joyce, “is that he should devote his whole life to reading my works.” Was he being mischievous? Maybe. But he never apologized or issued a retraction. Your assignment, Virgo, is to conjure up your own version of that wild desire: a clear statement of exactly what you really, really want in all of its extravagant glory. I think it’ll be healthy for you to identify this pure and naked longing. (P.S. I’m not implying that you should immediately try to get it fulfilled, though. For now, the important thing is knowing what it is.)

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22): Now and then, a British Libra named Lloyd Scott dresses up in funny costumes while competing in long-distance races. He does it to raise money for charity. In the 2011 London Marathon, he wore a 9-foot snail outfit for the duration of the course. It took him 27 days to finish. I suggest you draw inspiration from his heroic effort.

From a cosmic perspective, it would make sense for you to take your time as you engage in amusing activities that benefit your fellow humans.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21): What will you do now that you have acquired more clout and visibility? Will you mostly just pump up your self-love and bask in the increased attention? There’s nothing wrong with that, of course.

But if those are the only ways you cash in on your added power, the power won’t last. I suggest you take advantage of your enhanced influence by engaging in radical acts of magnanimity. Perform good deeds and spread big ideas.

The more blessings you bestow on your fellow humans, the more enduring your new perks will be.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21): You’ve been pretty wild and uncontained lately, and that’s

OK. I’ve loved seeing how much permission you’ve given yourself to ramble free, experiment with the improbable and risk being a fool. I suspect that history will judge a majority of your recent explorations as tonic. But now, Sagittarius, the tenor of the time is shifting. To continue being in alignment with your highest good, I believe you will have to rein in your wanderlust and start attending to the care and cultivation of your power spot. Can you find a way to enjoy taking on more responsibility?

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19): “The person who can’t visualize a horse galloping on a tomato is an idiot,” said the founder of Surrealism, writer Andre Breton. I wouldn’t go so far as to call such an imagination-deprived soul an “idiot,” but I do agree with the gist of his declaration. One of the essential facets of intelligence is the ability to conjure up vivid and creative images in one’s mind.

When daily life has grown a bit staid or stuck or overly serious, this skill becomes even more crucial. Now is one of those times for you, Capricorn. If you have any trouble visualizing a horse galloping on a tomato, take measures to boost the fertility of your imagination.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18): “I want to be with those who know the secret things, or else alone,” wrote the eccentric ecstatic poet Rainer Maria Rilke. That wouldn’t be a good rule for you Aquarians to live by all the time. To thrive, you need a variety of cohorts and allies, including those who know and care little about secret things.

But I suspect that for the next few weeks, an affinity for those who know secret things might suit you well. More than that, they may be exactly the accomplices who will help you attend to your No. 1 assignment: exploratory holy work in the depths.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20): To launch your horoscope, I’ll steal a line from a Thomas Pynchon novel: “A revelation trembles just beyond the threshold of your understanding.” To continue your oracle, I’ll borrow a message I heard in my dream last night: A breakthrough shivers just beyond the edge of your courage. Next, I’ll use words I think I heard while eavesdropping on a conversation at Whole Foods: If you want to cook up the ultimate love feast, you’re still missing one ingredient.

And to finish this oracle, Pisces, I’ll say that if you want to precipitate the trembling revelation, activate the shivering breakthrough and acquire the missing ingredient, imitate what I’ve done in creating this horoscope. Assume the whole world is offering you useful clues, and listen closely.
