IT’S A TANGLED WEB WE WEAVE I’m with Cope. Even though he’s twice my age, or three times my age—or whatever, he’s timeless—he and I share a similar grudging relationship with the Information Age. So it was a pretty big deal when Boise Weekly’s resident curmudgeon not only agreed to but also followed through with writing a (gasp) blog series.

With a soft launch on Nov. 8, Mr. Cope’s Cave will be a twice-weekly Cobweb feature on boiseweekly.com.

That means Cope lovers (and Cope haters) will have two more opportunities outside his weekly print column to read our Man in Meridian’s observations, complaints and semiregular arguments with figments of his own imagination.

After 18 years writing for BW—nearly all of them during a time when the Internet was widely available—Cope has finally stepped into the online-only publishing world. It’s a watershed moment for BW and, if we had a say in it, would go down as a minor achievement in the history of the Internet.

We know, Cope already gets a solid 1,000 words of newsprint a week—what more could he have to write about?

Answer: You must not know Cope. We’re turning him loose on the no-holds-barred World Wide Web, so if you dare, turn on your digital headlamp and venture into Mr. Cope’s Cave.

And speaking of stuff on boiseweekly.com, we had a pretty newsy week, with stories about a bike safety rally, a lawsuit challenging Idaho’s ban on same-sex marriage, a teacher who lost her job for posting vacation photos on Facebook, Ben Ysursa bowing out of the race for secretary of state, megaload protests and the Eighth and Main Tower’s official opening date. Find it all on citydesk.com, plus our annual Mountain Guide, which you can find in PDF form on Cobweb.

Finally, in news of the new, astute readers will notice an addition to our food coverage on Page 22. Where we typically feature beer and wine through David Kirkpatrick’s Beerguzzler/Winesipper columns, BW will now be getting into booze with semi-regular reviews on three varieties of hooch. The new column, by food writer Tara Morgan, is brought to you in partnership with the Idaho State Liquor Division. We’ll be tasting tipples before they hit shelves to give you the lowdown on liquors you won’t want to miss (or, maybe, steer clear of— you never know), just in time for a well-lubricated holiday season. You’re welcome.

JOHN REMBER/OPINION

LET IT BE

National monuments and unintended consequences In the summer of 1973, I was one of 30 seasonal wilderness workers in the Wilderness Zone of the newborn Sawtooth National Recreation Area. My assignment was to walk through the Boulder Mountains and assess the range’s potential for recreational use.

By summer’s end, I had worn out the hard Vibram soles of three pairs of hiking boots and had been on top of most of the Boulders.

I had been up every creek on the map, and I’d discovered that the map isn’t the territory.

Lots of creeks were dry. Lots of summits were higher than they looked.

My end-of-season report emphasized the brittle delicacy of the high desert landscape.

In the high circs, footprints lasted for years, and the scorched-earth camps of hikers and hunters, from the looks of them, had lasted for generations. I noted that putting more people into the area would compound the damage.

The Boulders lacked recreational potential, I concluded, in spite of having just spent an idyllic summer in them. What I meant was they couldn’t handle thousands of hiking boots going through them without becoming as worn out as the hiking boots.

Four decades later, the Boulders remain much as I experienced them. Now, however, they are being promoted as a national monument. In the face of the failure of U.S. Rep. Mike Simpson’s CIEDRA, the Idaho Conservation League, Cecil Andrus and the federal executive branch are trying to make the Boulder-White Clouds a wilderness by fiat.

I don’t have space to list all the reasons why this is a lousy idea, but here are a few: —Wilderness designation doesn’t preserve anything. It’s not about management of the wild, it’s about management of people, in the sense that it creates a structure that funnels large numbers of people through a wild area and tells them all they can and cannot do.

—It’s the same with national monuments, except that visitors under 62 have to pay.

—Much noise has been devoted to the effect that this national monument would be run by the Forest Service and not the Park Service, but that is a temporary situation that awaits the efficient consolidation of all national monuments under one agency. And PL 92-400, the act of Congress that established the Sawtooth National Recreation Area, has a provision for its high mountain areas to eventually become part of the national park system.

—If President Obama declares the BoulderWhite Clouds a national monument, he will have conferred at length with his dynamic new secretary of the Interior, Sally Jewell. 2016 will see yearlong celebrations marking the 100th anniversary of the Park Service. If you think that Jewell, lately of the RecreationalIndustrial Complex, the person The New York Times called “a woman of untamed energy, competitiveness and confidence,” is going to let a new national monument go to the Forest Service without a fight—think again.

BOI S EW EEKLY.COM

—The amount of visitors has forced the creation of sacrifice zones within the Sawtooth Wilderness. Go to Sawtooth Lake, up Redfish Creek to Flat Rock Junction or to Hell Roaring Lake and you will see the worn spots where too many people have loved the wilderness. Part of this problem is accessibility, but more of it is that wilderness designation attracts too many people. Far from preserving the wild, it compromises it.

—Arbitrary actions by the federal government can be undone by arbitrary actions by the federal government. If there is one institution that’s going to change its outlook and its priorities in the next decade, it’s the federal government. Once you start throwing executive orders around, anything can happen. The Boulder-White Clouds could become a game preserve, or they could be reopened to mining in a national emergency. If these things seem improbable, remember that CIEDRA would have transferred federal lands on the edge of wilderness to trophy-home developers.

—As always, the argument is made that people and businesses will prosper if more land is designated wilderness. Visit the town of Challis, a natural gateway to the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness, to see how that works out.

—Sometimes preserving the wild means keeping it under the radar. That’s where the Boulders and White Clouds are now, in spite of the altitude of their summits.

That’s enough. There are other reasons not to like the idea of a national monument, but I’ll save them for the I-told-you-so column.

For now, a few sad observations: The Idaho Conservation League has prided itself on relentlessness in the face of opposition, even when that opposition has been reasonable, considered and informed by long experience. I’ve concluded the ICL agenda comes from the ego needs of its leaders and a desire to please the Pew Charitable Trusts, and not from a commitment to the Idaho wild.

Also, Cecil Andrus has done a great deal for Idaho, but he’s not doing the Idaho Democratic Party any good by pushing this scheme.

He’s messing with his legacy and risks being remembered by his former supporters as a person who spent the meager political capital of his party on a monument to his glory days.

Lastly, the public gaze should focus on the supervisor’s office of the Sawtooth National Forest in Twin Falls, which has starved the Sawtooth National Recreation Area of funds by treating it as just one of its ranger districts.

Where there were once dozens of wilderness rangers cleaning camps, educating the public, clearing trails and acting in other ways to protect the wild, now there are two. Bureaucratic malfeasance to preserve office jobs has been and always will be a threat to Idaho’s federal lands. Neglect is one of its more benign forms.

It’s not going to go away if and when the area is called a national monument.

CITYDESK/NEWS TVCTV MAY GO DARK

8 | NOVEMBER 13–19, 2013 | BOISEweekly

NEWS PATR IC K S W EENEY

Treasure Valley Community Television is facing a shutoff date at the end of the year, as a combination of legislation passed at the Idaho Statehouse and the end of a longtime agreement with the city of Boise all but eliminated the station’s $60,000 a year operating budget.

According to TVCTV Board President Bob Neal, a bill pushed through the 2012 Legislature resulted in the elimination of fees paid to the community station by cable providers. Called Public Education and Government (PEG) fees, the money fed into a city fund 10 cents per Cable One subscriber, and was then funneled to TVCTV for capital expenditures. With those fees taken away, the station lost about $21,000 of its funding. Meanwhile, the city of Boise opted to stop its service agreement with TVCTV to broadcast City Council meetings. That meant the loss of another $33,000.

“So we lost $54,000 in funding in one fell swoop,” Neal told Boise Weekly.

Michael Zuzel, assistant to Boise Mayor Dave Bieter, said after eight or so years of working with TVCTV to provide viewers with a feed of City Council meetings, it became clear that revenue troubles imperiled the organization and it was time to look for lower-cost alternatives—specifically, hiring a part-time city employee to provide audio visual services.

According to City Council records, TVCTV was allocated up to $13,650 to keep the station alive through Dec. 31. After that—unless some other source of cash is found—channels 11 and 98 will go dark.

That could be bad news for the city. According to Zuzel, anything purchased using PEG funds reverts to city ownership should the recipient organization close its doors.

That means if TVCTV goes out of business, the city of Boise could find itself owning a full video studio that it doesn’t want. “[T]here’s an outstanding mortgage on that property. … If TVCTV were to shut its doors, that means the bank could foreclose on that property,” Zuzel said. “The city is very interested in not having that happen because that is ultimately a taxpayer asset and we need to make sure we protect that asset on behalf of our taxpayers.”

Hard figures were not available related to the value of the property, but Zuzel added that officials are working through those issues with TVCTV leadership.

“The ideal situation would be that they secure enough funding to buy our interest in the property outright from us,” he said.

For that to happen, TVCTV will have to go to the community for support, and Neal said the optimal dollar amount would be somewhere in the $100,000 range, enabling it to hire dedicated staff and start producing its own content, rather than rely on government contracting and volunteer efforts. “[With that amount of money] I could see this thing at least being able to pull off the experiment of finding out if … it would be self-sustaining, which I really think it would,” Neal said.

Zuzel confirmed that the city will meet with TVCTV sometime this week to sketch out a game plan. But Neal’s not optimistic.

“I don’t want to be a doomsday kind of person, but it seems pretty evident where it’s headed,” he said.

PRE-K PREVIEW Hy Kloc wants to know if Idaho is ready for preschool HARRISON BERRY Idaho students have lagged behind their counterparts in other states—and it might be because Idaho is failing at preschool. According to a recent report from the Annie E. Casey Foundation, 18,000 low-income children ages 3 and 4 don’t attend preschool, representing 69 percent of kids in that age group. The national average is 63 percent, putting Idaho near the bottom of the pack nationally when it comes to pre-kindergarten education.

Hy Kloc thinks he has a solution to those problems. The Democratic state House member from District 16, in Boise, is fronting legislation that would create a pre-K pilot program that would put the merits of early childhood education on an evidentiary basis in Idaho, and possibly lay the foundation for a future statewide preschool program, but he and his bill face legislative and practical obstacles.

“It’s something people want,” Kloc said.

“I think we really need to develop this kind of program for Idaho.”

Kloc’s legislation would call for spending a total of $1.4 million—55 percent of which would come from non-tax sources like the private sector and nonprofit foundations—to send 120 students in five Idaho school districts through preschool with an eye to tracking their educational progress through the third grade, the specifics of which would be determined by the State Board of Education.

“The way I envision it, I’d like to see what the results are for preschool first, and then the third grade,” Kloc said.

During the upcoming legislative session, his pilot program will have to first pass the House Education Committee, as well as a votes in both the House and Senate. Along the way, he’ll have to convince House members on the other side of the aisle that preschool is worth the money and effort, but Kloc modeled his program on successful pre-K programs in other states—some of them with political leanings as conservative as Idaho’s.

He consulted studies that affirm those programs’ effectiveness at preparing students for future educational success. He also uncovered evidence that such programs correlate to long-term reductions in high-school dropout rates and future criminal behavior, among other benefits. According to The Abecedarian Project, students who attended pre-K programs were less likely to repeat grades or require special education.

Some state legislatures eager to reduce costs have responded to the long-term economic benefits of making early childhood education

Rep. Hy Kloc (D-Boise) is pushing for a pilot program to prove the value of pre-K education.

available. The HighScope Perry Preschool Study linked preschool attendance to increased earnings (up to $2,000 more per month), and, according to an estimate by Rob Grunewald and Arthur Rolnick of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, states that put money toward pre-K education might expect a 12 percent return on their investments in the form of increased tax revenues.

Several states with Republican-majority legislatures have taken steps to expand access to pre-K. Oklahoma has a pre-K program that serves 74 percent of 4-year-olds enrolled in either public or private preschool. In Florida, the percentage of 4-year-olds attending preschool is 76 percent—the highest of any state in the nation. Georgia and Michigan also have similar programs.

The number of states that have some kind of state-sponsored early childhood education has emboldened Kloc.

“The thing that’s amazing [to] me is the interest preschool is generating nationwide. It tells me that this is a course that we can take that will fulfill the objectives we’re trying to reach,” he said.

Critics of pre-K say that the conclusions of studies supporting pre-kindergarten education aren’t as straightforward as advocates believe.

Elizabeth Cascio of Dartmouth College and Diane Whitmore Schanzenbach of Northwestern University observed that while free access to preschool increased enrollment among the children of non-college-educated parents, the children of college degree-holding parents tended to shift their children from free programs to private preschools, casting a shadow over claims that such education benefits all children in the same ways.

Others doubt the efficacy of such programs entirely, saying that childhood learning before kindergarten is not retained because the children are too young, and that it’s the role of families to prepare young students for their

first days of school.

Such critiques, Kloc said, are the most serious barriers between his pilot program and passage in the Legislature.

“I guess the biggest obstacle is to convince people that preschool education … [goes] anywhere,” he said.

Eagle Republican Rep. Reed DeMordaunt, chairman of the House Education Committee, said he’s skeptical of claims that preschool programs offer the long-term benefits espoused by advocates.

“As I’ve looked at pre-K around the nation, I’ve certainly seen mixed results. Pre-K, the first year or two, students seem to indicate results.

However, a lot of surveys indicate that by years three to four, the results are negligible,” he said.

DeMordaunt said he hadn’t spoken with Kloc about his pilot program, and couldn’t speak to what kind of support or opposition it might face in committee, but added he’s eager to have a conversation on the issue.

“I’m anxious to see the legislation but I haven’t had the time to meet,” DeMoraunt said.

Kloc said he has spoken with Republicans to secure support of his bill, but declined to name his contacts. In order for his bill to pass the committee, he will need at least some support from the other side of the aisle in the Republican-controlled House.

But, Kloc added, he has also been seeking support from outside groups, including the State Board of Education, education lobbying interests and other foundations, including Idaho Business for Education.

Rod Gramer of IBE said a preschool education program in Idaho would be the most significant advancement in Idaho public ed since then-Gov.

THEY’LL BE BACK Yes! Yes! coalition vows to return in 2014 GEORGE PRENTICE Yes, the glass was half full (and then some) but no one was making a victory toast. When the noise subsided from the well-financed, highly organized campaign to push two so-called “livability” bonds through a twothirds majority of Boise voters, the “Yes! Yes! for Boise” effort was a bit more like “Almost! Almost!”

“Look, I wish we had got a super-majority. I don’t want to paper over that, but the vast majority of our community is saying, ‘Why aren’t we doing this? Let’s fund our open spaces and parks. Let’s make sure our fire facilities have the funds they need.’ That was an overwhelming statement,” said John Reuter, executive director of Conservation Voters for Idaho. “Unfortunately, because of the Idaho Constitution, it wasn’t enough.”

Indeed, the Gem State’s constitution, Article VIII, Section 3, only allows county or municipal indebtedness with “the assent of two-thirds of the qualified electors.”

The campaign needed 66.7 percent of voters to foot the bill for a $17.2 million bond (including issuance costs) for fire safety and another $15.7 million (again, including issuance costs) for open space and public park investments. But the fire bond secured 64 percent of the vote while the open space bond received just shy of 62 percent.

“When we first started this campaign, I was very skeptical,” said Reuter. “It was only when we saw the volunteers and the ground game come together did I think this was possible.”

When Boise Weekly asked if success would have been possible had the campaign stretched 30 more days, Reuter didn’t hesitate a moment to say “yes.”

“Thirty more days would have been great. I think momentum was with us. The [polling] numbers were moving pretty dramatically upward,” he said, adding that in the final hours of the campaign, a two-thirds victory was in sight. “Initially, I thought breaking 60 [percent] was a really big deal.

And I honestly thought we might go 65 to 67 percent.”

Reuter’s organization had significant skin

Voters came out in strong numbers to support two bond initiatives, but it wasn’t enough for passage.

in the game: Conservation Voters for Idaho was the campaign’s biggest donor.

“Our contribution was about $30,000 of in-kind donations,” he said. “That’s real money that was spent.”

In addition to the use of CVI’s office space to house phone banks, where some volunteers worked as many 15 separate shifts, Reuter told BW that his organization’s cash was spent on field operations, specifically neighborhood canvassing.

The face of the campaign—certainly in the final weeks of the effort—became Boise Mayor Dave Bieter, pitching for Yes! Yes! votes in a flurry of campaign mailings and holding sway at a high-profile City Club forum on the issues.

“Let me say this about Mayor Bieter: He always put the campaign first,” said Reuter.

“It was never about his political future. It was always about the needs of the city. I would not criticize the mayor about where his heart was, or where his head was. The mayor is vindicated. He doesn’t bear sole responsibility in the outcome.”

In fact, Bieter walked into the campaign offices of the Yes! Yes! coalition on the morning after the defeat, in order to tell campaign workers, “These are great numbers,” according to Reuter.

“Yes, I was with the mayor that morning,” Bieter spokesman Adam Park told BW.

on the Common Core standards and the Governor’s Task Force for Improving Education, which would strengthen Idaho’s K-12 8 programs.

The problem, Gramer said, is one of cultural will.

“So far, the political will hasn’t been there to create preschool.

We need to try to create this situation where we can create political and cultural will,” he said.

BOI S EW EEKLY.COM

“He doesn’t feel as bad about the losses as you would expect. He said we could build upon that level of support and find other ways to get these projects completed. Everything is on the table.”

Boiseans should know that the table, according to Reuter, would include three prime options: a revised bond vote in November 2014; a possible supplemental levy, which would also need voter approval; or the possibility of a local-option tax—though most Statehouse pundits think that would be a tough slog to pull through the Idaho Legislature.

“Make no mistake, we’ll be back; I think we’ll be back within a year, by next November, with another request to Boise voters,” said Reuter, adding, “I’m sure that there are other people on the same page. But I don’t speak for them. I’m not saying what the actual package will look like, but we’re not backing down.”

And a similar campaign would need just as much money and enthusiasm. This year’s Yes! Yes! effort was backed by nearly 250 volunteers.

“Some of them have stopped by the office in the last few days to let us know that they want to keep working with us,” said Reuter.

“Despite being a cynical political hack, I keep finding myself surprisingly inspired by their dedication to our community.”

For the IBE, the mission of creating political and cultural will is instilling in the Legislature a sense of the long-term benefits Idaho stands to gain by investing in education, but this legislative session, Gramer and IBE will dedicate their lobbying efforts to other issues.

“I’m not sure if it’s going to happen for Hy’s bill. Our focus has to be on the Governor’s Task Force recommendations,” Gramer said.

WAYNE, RICK, STEVE, CURTIS AND BUTCH The Dan Wiebold Ford 55-plus softball team is at the top of its game GEORGE PRENTICE What’s that, you say? The Boston Red Sox are World Champions? Tell that to the Dan Wiebold Ford 55-plus softball team.

“It was a pretty emotional moment for us,” said Rick Carringer. “The trophy was in my hands and I couldn’t say much of anything.

I’ve never won anything like this at any level.”

The team members—who prefer to be considered “masters” instead of “seniors”—were the cream of the crop at September’s AAA World Championships in Las Vegas. Some of the team members have played on local diamonds for more than four decades as part of Boise Parks and Recreation softball leagues.

“There are multiple Idaho MVPs on our team,” said Carringer. “I’ve been trying to win something like this for 40 years.”

Over a cold beer, which quickly became two or three more, Boise Weekly sat down with five members of the championship squad—Carringer, 59 years old; Steve Abo, 60; Wayne Darling, 59; Curtis Jackson, 55; and Butch Laliberte, 61.

How did this team come together?

Carringer: We’ve all known each other in different ways. I played in different leagues with Wayne and Steve, and Butch and Curtis knew each other already.

Darling: Getting ready to put this team together, you start scouting out other guys already playing, about the time they turn 50.

Chicago Cubs and retired with the Philadelphia Phillies. He was in four All-Star Games.

Carringer: But that’s just the beginning of Curtis’ own athletic prowess.

Jackson: I was on a full-ride scholarship to play football for the University of Oregon.

So, how does winning the world championship for an over-55 softball team stack up with your other achievements?

Jackson: I’ve been thinking a lot about that.

When I ran track for Boise High School, I won the Idaho state championship in the quartermile. When I played football for Oregon, I was able to score touchdowns in some of the greatest stadiums in the country. But winning this championship still probably hasn’t sunk in yet.

But when I think about it, we’re the best team in the nation. We beat teams from Chicago; Kansas City; Lincoln, Neb.; Oklahoma City; San Jose; Tucson; and Houston. And they were all the best from their regions.

How many teams were in the tournament?

Darling: Thirty-two in our bracket. In total, there were 478 teams playing over 10 days.

Who did you beat for the championship?

Carrington: A team from San Diego; they’re called the Git ’er Done’s. The previous three times we played them, we lost.

Are they your rivals?

Darling: No, our rivals are the Desert Dogs out of Palm Springs. They knocked us out of the world championship last year.

Those teams have great names like Desert Dogs and Git ’er Done’s. But you don’t have a catchy name.

Carringer: We go by the Dan Wiebold Ford 55-plus. They gave us sponsorship money.

Laliberte: They gave us some cash for uniforms, but we had to pay our own way to Vegas.

Have you figured out why you were so successful?

Carringer: It’s truly because we came through the city of Boise softball system. It’s an amazing program.

Laliberte: Other teams from all across the country were amazed that Boise had 10 great senior teams. Some cities with a million people

or more usually have one.

Jackson: I think that says a lot about little old Boise, Idaho.

What do you think that says about Boise?

Jackson: I think this part of the country has a win-at-all-cost attitude.

Abo: And at the same time, this has been one of the easiest-going teams I’ve ever played on. Nobody gets anyone else down. It’s a wonderful team.

Talk to me about injuries at this age.

Jackson: I’m supposed to have surgery on my knee pretty soon. Plus, I have a bone spur in my ankle.

Darling: A lot of us have back problems.

And you guys are sometimes playing three or more games in a day.

Laliberte: It really kicks in during the drive from the game back to the hotel. When you get back to the parking lot, you’re thinking, “Jesus, I have to walk all the way to the elevator? Give me a break.”

Carringer: If you’re really lucky, the wife will get you some ice.

Are we talking about dozens of other teams?

Darling: More like hundreds.

Laliberte: When we travel to tournaments, our team is 55 and older, but at home, we play in all age groups.

Carringer: Between Mountain Home and Caldwell, there are probably 20,000 people who play in softball leagues each summer.

OK, who’s the best player here?

[Everyone looked in Jackson’s direction] Carringer: Curtis was the MVP of the tournament. Let’s face it, he’s got the lineage.

Jackson: My dad was Larry Jackson. His major league baseball career started in 1956.

He played with the St. Louis Cardinals, the

THURSDAY NOV. 14 dancer-illusionist MOMIX: BOTANICA What would happen if you handed an iPhone to early computer designer Charles Babbage? What would Mozart think of The Beatles, or German motion picture pioneer Fritz Lang of Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity?

They might be impressed with how their efforts have been appropriated and extended, but they would probably be dumbfounded by the seemingly magical fixtures of today’s world. If that’s the case, showmen of all ages would be scratching their heads in wonderment over Momix: “Botanica,” which comes to Boise State University’s Morrison Center for the second time Thursday, Nov. 14, at 7:30 p.m.

Last time it was town, in January 2012, Boise Weekly praised the troupe’s versatility, elegance and visual ingenuity. The performance itself is a fusion of dance, music and illusion and, with “Botanica”— one of seven Momix productions—that includes a score which ranges from chirping birds to Vivaldi, and dance that uses props and sleight of hand to achieve fantastic simulacra of nature itself.

Momix: “Botanica” is sure to garner notices from the range of critical opinion, from reviewers impressed with its freshness and creativity to those befuddled at how dance, music and stagecraft could be bent into something so simultaneously terrestrial and otherworldly.

The guest juror for the 2013

The 19th annual Auction for the Rivers is the biggest fundraiser of the year for Idaho Rivers United, a 20-year-old organization committed to protecting and restoring Idaho rivers. Featuring a silent auction with a wide range of prizes, including a Sabertooth raft from AIRE; a week’s stay in Akumal, Mexico; and a Sun Valley ski trip, just to name a few, the event serves IRU’s mission of protecting the ecological integrity of Idaho rivers through citizen involvement. Beer will be provided by Sockeye Brewery, along with a variety of wine and hors d’oeuvres from around Idaho. All proceeds benefit IRU, which in turn will attempt to protect our wild rivers, keep our drinking water clean, defend at-risk fish populations and minimize the impacts to Idaho rivers from dams. In addition to giving the public the opportunity to support the sustainability of Idaho waters, the Auction for the Rivers event also gives participants a chance to explore new areas of their own state and raft down the very rivers they’re ponying up to protect.

6 p.m. $10-$15. Boise Train Depot, 2603 W. Eastover Terrace, Boise, 208-343-7481, idahorivers.org

FRIDAY NOV. 15 poetry DIANE RAPTOSH Poetry doesn’t get the props it deserves in the realm of popular media, possibly because not enough attention is given to the poets themselves.

Just imagine, though, if the great poets’ lives were more eshed out. What if, instead of a chipped Roman bust in some museum, our image of Homer was that of an old, wandering storyteller invoking the muses to help him tell a pack of rapt children about the wrath of arrogant, whiney Achilles.

Friday, Nov. 15, at 7 p.m., Diane Raptosh, poet laureate of Boise, will speak at the College of Western Idaho’s Nampa campus as part of the community college’s Visiting Writer Series. Raptosh’s poems have appeared in Women’s Studies Quarterly and anthologies like New Poets of the American West, Mamas and Papas: On the Sublime and Heartbreaking Art of Parenting, ClassiďŹ eds: An Anthology of Prose Poems and The Glenn Gould Anthology.

Raptosh holds the Eyck-Berringer Endowed Chair in English at the College of Idaho and regularly conducts writing workshops, delivers readings and lectures on poetry in unusual places like maximum-security prisons and school busses.

If you’re interested in seeing a genuinely interesting person answer the question, “Why poetry?� this is your chance. Following Raptosh’s remarks, there will be a Q & A session, as well as a reception.

7 p.m. FREE. College of Western Idaho, Nampa Campus Academic Building 1, 5500 E. Opportunity Drive, Nampa, cwidaho.cc

SATURDAY NOV. 16 Ole BALLET FOLKLORICO “QUETZALLI�

DE VERACRUZ A young woman smiles coyly at her handsome partner as she swishes her colorful skirt around him, and he vigorously dances around her stamping his feet in a rhythmic style reminiscence of tap-dance. No, this not a scene of a barn dance, but an example of “ballet folklorico�—a broad term that encompasses all forms of Mexican folk dancing.

The popular ballet folklorico dance company touring from Mexico, Ballet Folklorico “Quetzalli� de Veracruz, will be twirling their skirts and tapping their heels to classic Mexican folk dances on the stage of the Jewett Auditorium in Caldwell on Nov. 16 at 7:30 p.m.

Ballet Folklorico “Quetzalli� de Veracruz was founded by Maestro Hugo Betancourt in 1985 in the state capital of Veracruz, Xalapa. This dance troupe has gone on to perform internationally in the United States, South America, Asia, Europe and the Caribbean to great acclaim.

Mexican folk dancing has been around for long time, but it was formalized and popularized by Mexican ballet choreographer Amelia Hernandez in the 1950s. She opened the ďŹ rst school dedicated to ballet folklorico in 1958 in Mexico City.

Later ballet folklorico expanded to cities like El Paso and Los Angeles.

Ballet Folklorico “Quetzalli� de Veracruz will give you a rare chance to more fully immerse yourself in Mexican dance and music.

As a former corporate buyer for Fred Meyer and JoAnn’s Fabrics, Alicia Vanderschuere had grown weary of purchasing products from overseas. She also felt strongly about supporting women-owned or run businesses. After starting her own business as an online outlet, Vanderschuere opened Rosie Made as a brick-and-mortar store off State Street on Sept. 12 this year. Shelves, cabinets and tables in the cozy ROSIE MADE corner shop are now ďŹ lled with 2033 N. 35th St., teas, chocolates, toys, jewelry, 208-908-8232, hats, bags, scarves, soaps, rosiemade.com. lotions and more, all made by Open Tuesday-Saturday, 11 a.m.-6 p.m. individuals or companies which meet Vanderschuere’s criteria: items must be U.S.-made; and vendor businesses must be women-owned or co-owned, have 50 percent or more female management or have a female leader, such as a president or CEO. Vanderschuere also looks for products that are organic or green, and about 60 percent of the wares in Rosie Made are created by Treasure Valley- or Idaho-based artisans like Arno chocolate barks from Twin Falls, and Nampa-based Anuera, which makes allnatural nontoxic body scrub, lip balm, cough remedy, facial products and even a household cleaner and deodorizer.

With Rosie Made, Vanderschuere hopes to help change the way we think about what we buy. “People need to pay attention to where stuff comes from,� she said. —Amy Atkins

Choosing a band name is serious business.

Regardless of whether it’s a play on words (The Beatles, Led Zeppelin), inscrutable (TheThe), based on an inside joke (Hootie and the Blowfish, Minus the Bear) unpronounceable (!!!) or scatological (Diarrhea Planet), it needs to somehow be meaningful to the people who will create and perform under it as a collective.

MARIA TAYLOR, SOMETHING ABOUT KNOWING If you like folk music that’s a little adventurous but not too outlandish, then the latest offering from singer-songwriter Maria Taylor is worth a listen.

Something About Knowing (Saddle Creek, Oct. 2013) is an exploration of what it means to be content with life. Yes, great art often comes from heartache, struggles, drama and conflict, but sometimes there is beauty in simplicity and it, too, can resonate. In Something, Taylor dives into the simpler side of things, and while the results aren’t earth-shattering, they aren’t half bad.

Some inspiration for the record comes from Taylor’s recent entrance into motherhood, and it’s clear this new phase of life agrees with her. “Up All Night” is a charming ode to her newborn and the lack of sleep Taylor now experiences, but she spices it up with an electric guitar riff that is eerily reminiscent of The Beatles’ “Revolution,” so it’s not exactly a lullaby.

The easygoing feel of the mid-tempo rock title track is augmented by sentiments about enjoying a good life filled with love.

“Sum of Our Lives” features another dose of encouragement, with Taylor singing about how we are more than just what we do and what happens in our lives. There are moments when Taylor touches on the fragility of human nature (“Broken Objects”), but these are few and far between as Taylor aims for less serious subject matter.

Musically, the album is fluid with warm sounds and smooth rhythms carrying it along. “Folk Song Melody” is a dreamy track replete with subtle percussion, and “Saturday in June” is the sort of easy listening folk/Americana that will add a little sunshine to a cold winter day. “Tunnel Vision” is warm, echoing dream pop, and the ethereal beauty of the closer “A Lullaby for You” is incredibly soothing. There are some toe-tapping beats and rhythms throughout, and Taylor infuses a handful of the tracks with some nice hooks and grooves despite the generally laid-back feel of the album.

There are moments when Something feels too specific to Taylor—thus inaccessible to listeners—and it might be too cheery at times, but if you’re a fan of folk music, this isn’t a bad thing. Maybe it isn’t profound or life-changing or philosophically challenging, but not every album is, and not every album is meant to be those things.

Something About Knowing is simply about seeing the beauty in everyday life, something we should all do from time to time.

Upon entry, concertgoers receive 3-D shades, which add to the immersive effect of Page’s groovy, transcendental stylings. On his 2012 album, In the Air (Nettwerk Records), Page collaborated with indie-rock duo Tegan and Sara (“Bodywork” and “Video”), electronica legend BT, and Pakistani-American singer-songwriter Nadia Ali, and he joins the list of musicians running the genre gamut who have covered The Police’s 1979 song “Message in a Bottle.”

MATT HOPPER AND THE ROMAN CANDLES, NOV. 16, ICE BOUQUET Contrary to the harsh Alaska landscape where it was recorded, Matt Hopper’s newest release, High Hopes, evokes the sunny days and warm winds of spring. Tracks like “Happy Girls” and “Wailing Songbird” fill the air with up-tempo pop melodies as Hopper seamlessly blends his slow, Randy Newman-esque style of singing heartfelt lyrics and breakthrough falsettos with a full band feel. High Hopes carries with it the same emotional deluge fans have come to know from past releases, contrasting the power-ballad sense of wanting on a track like “My Bible” with the isolated cry of “Stick It To Your Man.” Matt Hopper and the Roman Candles will light up a handful of Idaho venues before moving the tour north into the land of the midnight sun.

WE HAVE IT COVERED Boise Weekly’s 12th annual cover auction benefits the arts… and Boise Weekly HARRISON BERRY Get all of Eli Craven’s “Remnants” at our 12th Annual Cover Auction. See Arts, this page.

OUR STAN ON OUR COVERS Each week, Boise Weekly Circulation Manager Stan “The Man” Jackson—along with our beloved distribution crew—delivers hot-off-the-press editions of BW to hundreds of locations across the Treasure Valley. Jackson, who is always easy-going, friendly and professional, has worked for BW for nearly 20 years and for many of the businesses and stores that carry BW, he is the face of the BW. He is also the eyes and ears for us back here at the BWHQ, so we asked him what people have said about some of this year’s Boise Weekly covers.

Please join us Wednesday, Nov. 20, at Visual Arts Collective for our 12th annual Cover Art Auction. The auction starts promptly at 6 p.m., cover is $5.

“Remnants of Former Greatness” by Eli Craven features a hooded sweatshirt, though apparently given shape by a human body, with a bouquet of flowers in place of a face. Readers told Jackson it reminded them of the rebirth of spring, a vacuum or a snowboarder at Bogus Basin.

“Possibilities,” an oil and acrylic painting on canvas by Bob Edgerly, depicts a peacock, proudly displaying his plumage.

Readers told Jackson they loved the blues, greens and yellows that gave the cover its vibrant, standout quality. As is easy with Jackson, the conversation turned to a larger discussion: why the peahen—the female peacock—has such a dull color scheme. If you’re curious, the answer is that peacocks (like most birds, only more so) woo with their plumage, and the peahens choose their mates based on extravagance.

“The Storm,” a mixed acrylic and oil pastel work by Storie Grubb, combines a sense of line reminiscent of children’s book illustrations with images of the London Blitz.

Sandwiched between an unsuspecting town and waves of bombers is a white elephant.

Some viewers caught a whiff of political allegory, others responded to the color scheme and surreal imagery—a few told Jackson it reminded them of Dante’s “Inferno.” This cover appeared nearly a month before a shutdown curtailed most of the federal government’s routine operations, adding an air of mystery to this potentially political work.

JanyRae Seda’s “Boise Bicycle” has an autumnal color pallette: casual reds, pastel yellows and creams, blacks mottled by overlaid color. Readers told Jackson they appreciated the artistic merit of Seda’s work, and how some were reminded of childhoods in the 1950s. It’s an homage to one of Boise’s favorite pastimes and, as it came on the heels of the second of two cyclists’ deaths in Boise, it serves as a memorial to them as well.

20 | NOVEMBER 13–19, 2013 | BOISEweekly

After an artwork graces the cover of a Boise Weekly edition, it is hung on the walls of BWHQ until it is time for our annual cover auction. That time—Wednesday, Nov. 20, at Visual Arts Collective—is fast approaching. It’s difficult to say goodbye to the pieces that give our workspace so much of its character, but it’s made easier knowing that our annual auction benefits local arts. This year’s auction holds particular importance for us: In years past, Boise Weekly partnered with a local arts organization that received a portion of the proceeds, the rest going to grants we award to arts organizations and individuals. This year, proceeds from the auction of covers dated May 1, 2013-Sept. 18, 2013 will benefit BW Watchdogs, a new strategic initiative created by our owner and publisher Sally Freeman to strengthen the sustainability and health of independent alternative media through reader-supported journalism. The remainder of the proceeds will, as always, directly support local artists through our grant program.

And speaking of local artists, below are highlights of a few whose work you will see at the Cover Auction—artwork that could soon be adding character to your space.

TIM ANDREAE, “YEAR OF THE SNAKE 2013” Close examination of Tim Andreae’s rice paper and sumi ink piece gives the impression of a young artist dabbling in the relationship between line and form, but take a step back and you’ll see a subtle use of forced perspective and dimensionality that breathe life into the subject. To wit, it’s the work of a mature artist recalling something youthful and vital.

“This brings me back to my childhood in western Virginia, where the timber rattler was never far,” Andreae wrote in his artist statement.

This is the 12th installment of Andreae’s Chinese New Year series, which began with his “Year of the Horse 2001.” It is also his last “Year of ...” cover. We are deeply thankful for Andreae’s ontributions and are happy to announce Martin Wilke (who also has a cover in this auction) will carry on this tradition.

ALEXA ROSE HOWELL, “MAURICE” This French bulldog, with ears alert and eyes glistening with the high pitch of puppy energy, sits at attention against a background that swirls surreally about the foreground, casting Alexa Rose Howell’s subject into visual and emotional relief.

Howell passed away in January of this year after a 12-year fight with cancer. By the time news of her death had been made public, Howell’s watercolor and ink portrait was in a stack of upcoming covers. Upon hearing news of Howell’s passing, however, our art director chose to use “Maurice” that week.

Howell would say “art is everywhere” and in “Maurice,” she found it in the face of a companion.

KAREN BUBB, “HAVANA, CUBA, 2013” In our July 17 edition, BW caught up with Karen Bubb at her studio to discuss her then-recent trip to Cuba. The public arts manager for the Boise City Department of Arts and History, Bubb has developed a refined sense of how people occupy space and how to interpret and present that spatial occupation in her art.

“My job in public art has informed how I see place. I’m interested in how people inhabit place,” she said.

In Boise, Bubb helps curate public art. She adds to the landscape to make it more engaging, appealing and people-friendly. In Cuba, she found people living in what sometimes felt like the ruins of an ancient civilization.

Run-down buildings had been haphazardly converted into apartments and restaurants.

People commuted in automobiles built in the 1950s, which in America would be generously described as “fixer-uppers.” It added up to a sense of a world that had been constructed out of the repurposed, rebuilt, reused.

“Things have an age to them and a sense of meaning. It was aged opulence,” she said.

Upon Bubb’s return to the U.S., she created a series of encaustic paintings that became an exhibition at the Gallery at the Linen Building, Cuba on the Cusp. The BW cover, “Havana, Cuba, 2013,” depicts a sombrero-wearing man approaching a car pulled straight from Detroit’s Golden Age and onto the Malecon—the picturesque seawall that serves as the border between the city and the sea.

GEORGE POINDEXTER, “FIRE AT ROBIE CREEK” In January 2013, Nathaniel Bartholomew, a former Boise County firefighter, admitted to purposely igniting the Karney Fire near Robie Creek that burned more than 400 acres and menaced as many as 100 homes. The cost of fighting the blaze came

to more than $2 million. According to Boise County law enforcement, Bartholomew may have set the blaze to get the attention of his father, who is also a firefighter in Boise County.

In response, artist George Poindexter made a carpet, “Fire at Robie Creek.”

“All you parents, you parents out there give your kids lots of love and don’t let them play with fire,” Poindexter wrote in his artist statement.

The carpet itself, broadloom hand-cut, inlaid and sculpted, uses red and white against a black backdrop to create the impression of interiority and exteriority, and allowing one’s gaze to settle into its rectangular black core is like staring down a throat—or into the depths of a harrowing firestorm. Poindexter has created a sardonic visual pun combining the devastation of fire with the Oedipal overtones of Bartholomew’s story.

CHRISTINE RAYMOND, “PUZZLE III” In an April 2013 edition of Boise Weekly, readers learned about Clay Carley’s plans for the Owyhee Hotel downtown, a group of cabin lessees who sued the state of Idaho over land lease rates along Payette Lake in McCall, and how the Davis Cup may have left a lasting legacy on the tennis scene in Boise. It was a busy week for hard news, recreation and the arts, but all of it came under the heading of Christine Raymond’s “Puzzle III.” At a glance, what’s missing from “Puzzle III” is the puzzle—after all, the Lascaux acrylic and 23-karat gold-leaf piece is a red stripe over a gold stripe—but take a closer look: The strokes that comprise the red upper area give a wispy, swirling, atmospheric impression. Compare that to the rigid, geometrical contours of the gold leaf beneath. Regardless of the piece’s geometrical and chromatic simplicity, it’s an enormously complex work that probes the psyche’s admixture of the organic and the manufactured. The more closely the viewer looks, the more he or she finds.

TEN YEARS A FAVE

BEST OF THE BEST OF I48—The Idaho Forty Eight Hour Film Competition and Festival (known as “i48”) will celebrate 10 years of showcasing independent Idaho filmmaking with a special screening and concert. Tickets are available at the Egyptian box office or online at egyptiantheatre.net. Friday, Nov. 15, 7 p.m. $10. Egyptian Theatre, 700 W. Main St., Boise, 208-345-0454, idaho48.org.

i48 Celebrates 10 Years Worth of Bests GEORGE PRENTICE The incarnation of i48, about to celebrate its 10th anniversary, was under the radar.

“I thought, ‘Let’s do this super quiet; no hoopla.’ We wanted to work the kinks out,” said i48 founder Andrew Ellis. “We were hopeful of getting six, maybe eight teams.”

Ellis, filmmaker, former Ada County deputy prosecuting attorney and newly sworn-in Ada County magistrate judge, smiled as he remembered the festival’s humble beginnings.

“We ended up with 32 teams” he said.

For the next nine i48 festivals, an average i48 co-director Josie Pusl (left) and founder Andrew Ellis (right) will have plenty of company when they celebrate of 50 teams per year—one year as many as Boise’s favorite local film showcase Friday, Nov. 15.

NEWS/SCREEN BLOCKBUSTER BOWS OUT, AMAZON JUMPS IN The landscape of movies—in particular, how we watch them—has changed dramatically.

Blockbuster’s parent company, Dish Network, announced it will shutter all of its approximately 300 Blockbuster domestic retail outlets and end its DVD-by-mail rental service by early 2014. Dish also stated it will now “focus on delivering the Blockbuster @Home service to DISH customers, and on its transactional streaming service for the general market, Blockbuster On Demand,” which is its online rental arm.

Amazon, on the other hand, announced it will enter the arena of original programming with two comedies. Amazon Studios’ Alpha House, written by Doonesbury creator Garry Trudeau and starring John Goodman as a GOP senator, premieres Friday, Nov. 15. Betas BOI S EW EEKLY.COM

Special Screenings

premieres Friday, Nov. 22. Both will be available on various devices, including iPad, iPhone, Kindle Fire, Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and more.

Amazon will make the first three episodes of both shows available in a bid to “entice viewers to sign up for its free-shipping membership service,” as opposed to Netflix’s practice of releasing full seasons for its subscribers who prefer “binge viewing.” (See our article on Netflix in the Wednesday, Nov. 6, edition of Boise Weekly.) “The strategy behind releasing the first three episodes for anyone to watch is so viewers can try out the shows and get to know the characters,” Roy Price, director of Amazon Studios, said in announcing the launches. “Then we will release new episodes via Prime Instant Video week by week so that customers can chat about the shows and build up anticipation.”

IMBIBE/DRINK SPICED BOOZE

JACK DANIEL’S WINTER JACK, $16.95 Don’t let Winter Jack’s square, 750-ml bottle fool you. This 15-percent alcohol seasonal release is more like a pre-mixed cocktail than a bottle of whiskey. The only place you get a hint of whiskey warmth is on the nose. Citrus and apple pie flavors wash over the palate and then dissipate quickly, leaving whispers of vanilla and caramel that also don’t linger long. A reasonable ski lift-sipper.

JAGERMEISTER SPICE, $22.95 This seasonal release has cranked up the cinnamon and vanilla notes, while greatly scaling back Jager’s herbaceous, licorice flavors. In the process, the company has also dropped the ABV from 35 percent to 25 percent. Jager Spice emits thick wafts of clove, cinnamon and nutmeg on the nose. On the palate, there are more pie flavors—vanilla, cinnamon, allspice and ginger. Like the original Jagermeister, there is nothing subtle about this sweet, spiced liqueur. Better with tea than as a shot.

PRETTY PICKLE Peaceful Belly sells seasonal pickles by the pound TARA MORGAN “I love pickles,” Josie Erskine beamed as she sliced turnips into ghost-white half-moons.

She dumped the root veggies into a mixing bowl with a clatter and salted them generously.

“At the roller skating rink, I was the kid that bought the pickle. That was me. Movie theaters: I bought the pickle,” said Erskine.

For the past four years, Erskine has been experimenting with quick pickle recipes from around the world.

“I like pickles from all over the place, so I from a traditional Chinese turnip pickle with feel like whenever I travel or I get out, I’m alsmoked paprika (the Shanghai Surprise) to a ways interested in people’s pickles.

specialty pickles, a trend that’s been booming in cities like New York and Portland, Ore., for years. And while Erskine’s pickles hold up just fine on their own—with bold flavors and a satisfying snap—she does have some serving suggestions.

“I think the Lemon Licker is great with fish. The Lebanese pickle would go great with any kind of red meat, like if you were to eat a steak. The Fairy Tale would be wonderful to put into sushi or to eat with any type of Asian food, or if you make a spring roll. The lime radish, which I don’t have a name for yet, the Mexicali Rose I keep playing with, I think that would be great on tacos or inside a burrito or on a sandwich,” said Erskine. “Most of them would be great in sandwiches.”

JIM BEAM RED STAG HARDCORE CIDER, $19.95 Unlike the previous two spiced concoctions, Red Stag’s Hardcore Cider is full-proof hooch, clocking in at 40 percent ABV. Yet somehow, the liquor still manages to be cloyingly sweet, with candied apple martini and green Jolly Rancher on the nose, followed by syrupy, fake apple flavors that cling to the tongue as a bourbon-y heat burns down the back of the throat. Skip this creation and opt for original Jim Beam and an artisanal hard cider instead.

It’s hard to escape the scent of cinnamon pine cones, spiced apple candles and pumpkin spice lattes this time of year. With all these faux-cozy fall flavors filling the air, it’s inevitable some of them would settle in booze. We sampled a trio of new liquors infused with spicy fall flavors. Here are our thoughts.

Divorce or separation is a very difficult time for parents, but it is especially difficult for children.

Children don’t need to be put in the middle of a divorce, which is what happens when Lawyers and the Court get involved. Mediation is a much faster, easier and cost efficient way to reach a custody schedule and a co-parenting plan. Mediation gives parents the opportunity to sit down with one another to discuss their children and what is the best for them. Parents get their and their children’s needs and interests taken care of.

YOGA

ARIES (March 21-April 19): There’s something resembling a big red snake slithering around in your mind these days. I don’t mean that literally, of course. I’m talking about a big red imaginary snake. But it’s still quite potent.

While it’s not poisonous, neither is it a pure embodiment of sweetness and light. Whether it ends up having a disorienting or benevolent influence on your life all depends on how you handle your relationship with it. I suggest you treat it with respect but also let it know that you’re the boss. Give it guidelines and a clear mandate so that it serves your noble ambitions and not your chaotic desires.

If you do that, your big red snake will heal and uplift you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In my astrological opinion, almost nothing can keep you from getting the love you need in the coming days.

Here’s the only potential problem: You might have a mistaken or incomplete understanding about the love you need, and that could interfere with you recognizing and welcoming the real thing. So here’s my prescription: Keep an open mind about the true nature of the love that you actually need most, and stay alert for the perhaps unexpected ways it might make itself available.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “People fall so in love with their pain, they can’t leave it behind,” asserts novelist Chuck Palahniuk.

Your assignment, Gemini, is to work your ass off to fall out of love with your pain. As if you were talking to a child, explain to your subconscious mind that the suffering it has gotten so accustomed to has outlived its usefulness. Tell your deep self that you no longer want the ancient ache to be a cornerstone of your identity. To aid the banishment, I recommend that you conduct a ritual of severing. Tie one side of a ribbon to a symbol of your pain and tie the other side around your waist. Then cut the ribbon in half and bury the symbol in the dirt.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “You can look at a picture for a week and never think of it again,” said painter Joan Miró. “You can also look at a picture for a second and think of it all your life,” he added. The coming days are likely to bring you none of the former kind of experiences and several of the latter, Cancerian. It’s a numinous time in your long-term cycle: a phase when you’re likely to encounter beauty that enchants you and mysteries that titillate your sense of wonder for a long time. In other words, the eternal is coming to visit you in very concrete ways. How do you like your epiphanies? Hot and wild? Cool and soaring? Comical and lyrical?

Hot and soaring and comical and wild and cool and lyrical?

26 | NOVEMBER 13–19, 2013 | BOISEweekly C L A S S I F I E D S

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): There’s a new genre of erotic literature: dinosaur porn. E-books like In the Velociraptor’s Nest and Ravished by the Triceratops tell tall tales about encounters between people and prehistoric reptiles. I don’t recommend you read this stuff, though. While I do believe that now is a good time to add new twists to your sexual repertoire and explore the frontiers of pleasure, I think you should remain rooted in the real world, even in your fantasy life. It’s also important to be safe as you experiment.

You really don’t want to explore the frontiers of pleasure with cold-blooded beasts. Either travel alone or else round up a warmblooded compassion specialist who has a few skills in the arts of intimacy.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The saxifrage is a small plant with white flowers. It grows best in subarctic regions and cooler parts of the Northern Hemisphere. The word “saxifrage” is derived from the Latin word saxifraga, whose literal meaning is “stone-breaker.”

Indeed, the plant does often appear in the clefts of stones and boulders. In his poem “A Sort of a Song,” William Carlos Williams celebrates its strength: “Saxifrage is my flower that splits the rocks.” I nominate this darling little dynamo to be your metaphorical power object of the week, Virgo. May it inspire you to crack through blocks and barriers with subtle force.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’re not being swept along in a flood of meaningless distractions and irrelevant information and trivial wishes, right? I’m hoping that you have a sixth sense about which few stimuli are useful and meaningful to you, and which thousands of stimuli are not. But if you are experiencing a bit of trouble staying well-grounded in the midst of the frenzied babble, now would be a good time to take strenuous action. The universe will conspire to help you become extra stable and secure if you resolve to eliminate as much nonsense from your life as you can.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Sweetness is good. Sweetness is desirable. To be healthy, you need to give and receive sweetness on a regular basis. But you can’t flourish on sweetness alone.

In fact, too much of it may be oppressive or numbing. I’m speaking both literally and metaphorically: To be balanced, you need all of the other tastes, including saltiness, sourness, bitterness and savoriness. From what I understand, you are headed into a phase when you’ll thrive on more bitterness and savoriness than usual. To get an idea of what I mean, meditate on what the emotional equivalents might be for bitter tastes like coffee, beer and olives, and for savory tastes like

mushrooms, cheese, spinach and green tea.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When you procrastinate, you avoid doing an important task. Instead, you goof off, doing something fun or simply puttering around wasting time. But what if there were a higher form of procrastination?

What if you could avoid an important task by doing other tasks that were somewhat less important but still quite valuable? Here’s what that might look like for you right now: You could postpone your search for the key to everything by throwing yourself into a project that will give you the key to one small part of everything.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In his utopian novel Looking Backward, American author Edward Bellamy wrote a passage that I suspect applies to you right now: “It is under what may be called unnatural, in the sense of extraordinary, circumstances that people behave most naturally, for the reason that such circumstances banish artificiality.” Think of the relief and release that await you, Capricorn: an end to pretending, a dissolution of deception, the fall of fakery. As you weave your way through extraordinary circumstances, you will be moved to act with brave authenticity. Take full advantage.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “I have your back” is an American expression that could also be rendered as “I’m right behind you, ready to help and defend you,” or, “I’m ready to support you whenever you’ve got a problem.”

Is there anyone in the world who feels that way about you? If not, now would be an excellent time to work on getting such an ally.

Cosmic conditions are ripe for bringing greater levels of assistance and collaboration into your life. And if you already do have confederates of that caliber, I suggest you take this opportunity to deepen your symbiotic connection even further.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): More than a hundred countries around the world celebrate a holiday called Independence Day, memorializing a time when they broke away from another nation and formed a separate state. I encourage you to create your own personal version of this festival. It could commemorate a breakthrough moment in the past when you escaped an oppressive situation, a turning point when you achieved a higher level of autonomy, or a taboo-busting transition when you started expressing your own thoughts and making your own decisions with more authority.

By the way, a fresh opportunity to take this kind of action is available to you. Any day now might be a good time to declare a new Independence Day.
