BILL COPE, NOVELIST It never fails; at least once a month someone calls or emails, asking/suggesting/demanding Bill Cope write a book.

Sure, Bill has plenty of people who think his 1,000 words a week in print (and probably 2,000 words online) are more than enough. Too many, in fact. But they are vastly outnumbered by those who can’t seem to get enough of Boise Weekly’s longtime resident curmudgeon.

He won’t admit it, but Bill Cope is the closest thing we have to a celebrity around BWHQ. Whenever staffers attend an event, man a booth somewhere or go to a cocktail party, it’s guaranteed that at least one person will ask, “Do you know Bill Cope? What’s Bill Cope like?”

Here’s a little of what Bill Cope is like: He sometimes brings his column to the office on a 3-by-5 computer disc.

There’s a disc drive attached to my computer that exists solely for Bill Cope. I don’t even know where he buys those discs—they’re the only ones I’ve seen since Bill Clinton was president.

On those days, when Bill hand delivers his column, we sit and talk for a few minutes in my office. Almost always, the conversation includes some mild bitching about technology (I share a sizable measure of his luddism); some fairly strong bitching about politics, seasoned with a denunciation or two of “kids these days” (though I’m sure Bill silently includes me among the “kids”); and, finally, an update about his book.

Yes, you read that right, Cope has written a book. Cope has been writing a book for a long time—as you’ll read on Page 5—and Cope has finished his book.

I don’t want to steal any of his thunder, so I’ll limit myself to congratulating him on what I know has been a heavy labor of love and a great accomplishment after years of work.

I echo his call to buy the book. For Cope lovers, enjoy the wit, heart and humor that have made him a mainstay of BW for about 20 years; for Cope haters, sup sweet rage from your enlarged amygdala as you realize you’re actually enjoying Bill Cope’s writing. Either way, we couldn’t be happier for Cope that he’s accomplished his goal and can add “novelist” to his list of bona fides.

BILL COPE/OPINION

DRUM ROLL, PLEASE Plug me in

Friends, I cannot tell you how long I have been waiting to write this column.

But first, a warning: As opposed to every other column I write, which generally run from approximately 30 percent about me to 80 percent about me—this one is all about me.

Now, if you will kindly look to the bottom of this page, you will see a brightly-colored panel with the words Artists Save the Galaxy! in rather lurid print, then below that, in a more austere font, “A Novel by Bill Cope.”

At this point, should you be wondering if the “Bill Cope” referred to in that ad is me? ... Yes, it is. It is me. Me me me me me me!

And the “novel” mentioned is mine. Mine mine mine all mine!

All this time you thought I wrote stuff for no other reason than to piss off Republicans and call conservatives stupid, I can now disclose that whenever I feel I have pissed off enough Republicans and called enough conservatives stupid for one day, I turn my writerly attentions to other things. One of those other things to which my attention got turned was a novel. I finished it about three years ago, then sent it off to my literary agent.

Oh, did I not tell you I had a literary agent?

Yes, I had a literary agent. He took me on as a client several years before I even began to write the novel mentioned above, because he was impressed with another novel I had written and was convinced he could sell it to a publishing house.

Oh! Did I not tell you I wrote another novel?

Yes, I did. In fact, I wrote that other novel before I ever started writing columns for Boise Weekly. At another time, hopefully soon, I will tell you good news about that first novel. But for now, I’d rather focus on the novel at hand if you don’t mind, because I paid to have that colorful picture with my name on it printed in today’s paper, and I want to get my money’s worth, if you don’t mind.

For my purposes here, all that’s important about that first novel was that it attracted an agent—a genteel gentleman who did his literary agenting out of Philadelphia—and that it served as an incentive for him to try to sell the second novel, too.

I won’t go into the endless query letters I had sent out, trying to snag a literary agent in the first place. Just let me tell you something: Those suckers are hard to snag.

And picky! It’s like they want you to write a book about what your book is about before they’ll agree to read it. Not so much, though, with the gentleman from Philadelphia. He loved that first novel from the first reading and was convinced he could, as he put it, “find a place for it.”

He couldn’t, but not for lack of trying.

And he was doing it the old-fashioned way, sending it to one publisher at a time along with a hand-typed letter—he had never gotBOI S EW EEKLY.COM

ten around to buying a computer, it seems— because he was a fine, old-fashioned fellow.

In fact, he was just plain old. He had led a life in publishing and editing, then another life in agenting, then retired—partially. Trying to place my book was part of the partial part of his partial retirement.

In the meantime, he agreed to take on my second novel, but insisted on selling that first book first. And then he had some sort of accident he wouldn’t give me details about, and he was forced to drop the partial part of his partial retirement. I was disappointed but by then, I had learned he was in his mid-90s, so I could hardly blame him.

Striking out on my own again, I decided against trying to snag another agent or to approach a publishing house directly. I am sad to say, literary agents and publishing houses are the polar bears of the book world. They are still around, but their habitat is some mighty thin ice.

I went the self-publishing path with this one. And today, I am here to announce I’ve reached the end of that path. As you can see, I titled the book Artists Save the Galaxy!, and I wish like crazy you would buy it. If you do, I will have more money. And I am not ashamed to admit I would enjoy having some more money.

All I ask is that if you are one of those Republicans I have pissed off, or those conservatives I have called stupid, go ahead and buy Artists Save the Galaxy! anyway. The book is 100 percent fiction—science fiction, in fact— and bears little resemblance to my column writing. Plus, it’s got some spectacular illustrations by my friend Mike Flinn, one of the more talented cats I’ve met in this incarnation, and it was expertly formatted by his equally talented wife, Cheryl. I would also brag that it’s full of funny stuff—“alien abduction humor,” I call the genre—but you’ll have to buy it and see for yourself what I think is so damn funny.

Oh, and for those who actually enjoy my columns and who I haven’t pissed off or called stupid, buy it and then tell 10 other people how much you loved it and believe they, too, should buy it. If they ask to borrow your copy, tell them no. Tell them you simply can’t bear to part with it. It’s available immediately at the CreateSpace.com e-store and Amazon, and soon, hopefully, at a local bookstore or two. Also, this very evening, it is available at a book signing at Boise Brewing (from 4:30 p.m.-6:30 p.m.).

This is the one and only time I will occupy this column space with plugging this book, I promise. I’ve seen columnists and television pundits plug their books for months on end, but I won’t do that. It’s unseemly, if you ask me. So I will absolutely not say another word about my book. Absolutely.

At least, not until that other novel is ready.

OPINION/JOHN REMBER

WALKING THE HAUTE ROUTE With Accidental Tours, Incorporated

Julie and I took a hike through the Sawtooths last week, one that began as a short late-morning stroll up Fishhook Creek.

It ended some seven hours later as a mad dash to catch the Redfish shuttle boat. In between we had circumnavigated Mount Heyburn. We had walked past lakes still covered with ice, climbed hand-over-hand over high cornices, glissaded down suncupped snowfields and rappelled from alder branch to alder branch down the steep glacier-polished canyon between Heyburn and Braxon Peak.

The day exceeded its design parameters.

We kept finding fields of buckwheat and paintbrush and pride of the mountain at the top of every waterfall. We passed a pair of sandhill cranes and two chicks, and hawks circled above us as we climbed. Lunch took place atop an eight-foot cube of granite on the edge of a fast-flowing pool. The highaltitude sky was a bright dark blue unhazed

by Chinese coal plants. We lay back on the rock and watched as thick white clouds flowed over the peaks to our west, paused a few thousand feet above us, and spun into clear vapor in the sunlight.

But we didn’t stop for long in any one place. We needed to move and keep moving, because when you’re off trail in the Sawtooths, it’s best to allow time for getting lost or rim-rocked. We knew that if we missed the boat, we’d have an extra five miles to walk, and the day would exceed our own design parameters.

As it was, the next morning found us hobbling around the house, eating naproxen, complaining of aching joints and sore muscles but happy to be alive, reassured that surviving one big-ass hike meant we could survive the next.

Except it doesn’t mean that at all.

Somewhere—sometime—out there is my final big-ass hike, and Julie’s, too. When I mentioned this thought to her, she said, “I suggest you quit using ‘big-ass’ to refer to our hikes. How about lithe, athletic hikes, full of cat-like moves?”

“Sure,” I said. “And my lithe, cat-like move this morning is going to be a long nap on the couch.”

But Julie knew what I meant. Both of us have Alzheimer’s in our families. For the past seven years of her life my mother wasn’t sure who she was, or who she was with. We spent a lot of time answering her questions about identity, even when we lacked answers, even after her Alzheimer’s had made us realize how arbitrary and delicate identity is for all of us.

If I develop Alzheimer’s, Julie has agreed to smother me with a pillow. So far I’ve been able to fight her off whenever she tries it.

“All I’m saying,” I said, “is that if we keep up these big-ass hikes, one of them

6 | JULY 16–22, 2014 | BOISEweekly

will be my last. No pillow necessary. You can pile a cairn of stones on me, and come home alone.”

“That will not be a good day,” she said.

“That would make me sad.”

“Good answer,” I said.

“I was looking forward to using the pillow,” she said.

“A not-so-good answer,” I said. Then I said, “In the meantime, when a big-ass hike turns into a lithe and athletic one, it’s like a gift from the past, a moment when the people we were 20 years ago decide to visit the future for a day, and inhabit the bodies of the old folks we’ve become, and look around to see what has changed.”

“I suggest you quit using the term ‘old folks,’” Julie said. “But I like the idea of gifts from the past. It makes you think that we’re time travelers, and we get to live in the future as well as the past.”

“Any more,” I said, “I’m content to inhabit a long, drawn-out present. I only time travel when I’m forced to.”

Which is true. If I could avoid it, I’d stay out of the future entirely. And there are moments in the past that aren’t any fun to spend time in. I’ve heard the present described as a knife-edge, but with luck it’s a knife-edge you can balance on.

“The present is a delicate and arbitrary thing,” said Julie.

“That’s our mantra,” I said. It is our mantra. We say it a lot.

We’re already planning more short, latemorning hikes into the Sawtooths, ones that will no doubt bear little resemblance to our plans. We get tempted off-trail by beauty, and we follow it into places where the air is thin. Old age isn’t the only unmarked hazard.

That’s the way of our hikes, and our lives. You start out thinking you’re going to be back in time for the shuttle boat, and sometimes you are. Other times you find yourself with no way down. You climb back up, move laterally and start down again. You run into walls of trees piled up by avalanches. You duck under logs that snag your pack. Finally, you struggle through thorny underbrush in the darkness, feeling for a solid foothold as you hang off the edge of a big rock, saying things like, “I thought you brought the headlamp,” or “What do you mean, you ate the last of the chocolate?”

That’s what living in the present is like. It never lacks risk. You make plans, but they evaporate in the sunlight. It’s always a delicate and arbitrary gift when you wake each day in a beautiful and terrifying world—one that, for all its faults and frailties, continues to provide love and joy in appreciable quantities. I hope it lasts for another 30 years, and of course I hope that Julie and I do, too.

How is untimely cash deposits and not filing mandatory reports “satisfactory?”

THE SEMANTICS OF SATISFACTORY Auditing has its own management-speak.

When grading performance, the choices are “high satisfactory, “satisfactory,” “low satisfactory,” “needs improvement” and the bottom of the barrel, “unsatisfactory.”

If a citizen were to take a passing glance at the June 2 financial review of the Idaho Humane Society, performed by the Boise Office of Internal Audit, and see “Audit Grade: Satisfactory,” it would be a fair assumption that things are fine at the shelter, which began caring for creatures great and small in the 1890s and was formally incorporated in 1945.

And while city staff auditor Mariano Caputto wrote that IHS “has succeeded in promoting compliance with animal ordinances,” three particular concerns also surfaced: 1. IHS was not in compliance with its city contract when it didn’t report all its mandatory statistics for fiscal years 2011 through 2013.

“The absence of integral per formance measures may impair the City’s ability to effectively assess the changing animal control services environment—and could potentially hamper decision-making abilities,” read the audit.

2. IHS did not remit animal license revenues to the city in a timely manner. Boise City Code requires no more than seven days lapse before the funds are transferred, but it took an average of 12 days for IHS to remit the money. It’s not the first time IHS has had its knuckles rapped for this one. A similar situation arose in 2010.

3. There is some sloppy bookkeeping happening at IHS and the city clerk’s office. Auditors wrote that “not all of the cash deposits sampled for testing and verification could be located in the designated financial account,” and “the documentation trail may be impaired.”

Additionally, the review said it was “unclear as to whether all transactions were posted correctly in the City’s accounting system.

The disposition of certain license fee deposits could not be determined to be a certainty.”

Officials from IHS and the city clerk’s office promised to create new standards to better document deposits and reconciliations and to have them in place by June 30.

The Idaho Humane Society, governed by a volunteer board of directors, is accountable to Title 6, Chapter 7 of Boise City Code for its animal control and enforcement. The society recently launched an $11.5 million fundraising campaign to build a new campus on a 10-acre site on West Overland Road.

READY FOR YOUR CLOSE-UP, HARLEY? Harley Brown, the crazy-as-a-fox candidate who stunned a global television audience with his antics during May’s Idaho Republican gubernatorial debate, may well become Idaho’s own Honey Boo Boo. He’s about to be a reality TV star—and we mean that with all the sincerity it warrants.

“We politicians crave publicity like an alcoholic craves his next drink,” Brown told Boise Weekly. “This is essentially giving me my own liquor store.”

Brown has just inked an exclusive talent agreement with Los Angeles-based Mad Jack Entertainment—producers of A&E’s Intervention and MSNBC’s Chained to My Ex—to star in his own reality show. But running for governor of Idaho is small potatoes.

Brown has his eye on the White House.

“All of the offices I’ve run for over the years—governor, senator, congressman— that was only foreplay to my ultimate destiny to be president of the United States,” the 60-year-old Brown told BW. According to emails between Brown and Mad Jack CEO Sam Mettler, a team of lawyers and accountants in California and Idaho has already begun the necessary paperwork for the Federal Election Commission to formally launch Brown’s presidential campaign. Filming for the reality show is set to begin this fall.

“He told me to get my campaign staff ready,” said Brown. “And then Sam will get going and sell it to a network.”

And Brown has a particular formula he uses in recruiting his campaign team: He calls it “SWAG.” “SWAG is my ‘scientific wild-ass guess’ as to how big my staff should be,” he said. “But for now, I’ve hired my campaign manager Kelly Bartholomew. He’s a biker, a bouncer and good friend of mine. I also really want to hire somebody to help get the money. I figure that the TV show will relieve a lot of my advertising expense so I should be able to pull this off for about $10 million. So, my fundraising führer is a damn important position.”

Brown said raising funds shouldn’t be overly difficult, given his celebrity status from the gubernatorial debate, which was fodder for every late night TV comic in the nation.

“I was on Interstate 5, out in the California desert, and it was 3 in the morning and I stopped for gas. Then, the attendant shouts, ‘I know you. You were the funny guy on TV. Let me take a picture with you.’ I’m F-squared—a famous fellow.”

Harley Brown grabbed the national TV spotlight during the May 14 Idaho gubernatorial debate.

QUESTION TRIGGERS PROBE INTO DROWNING ‘You don’t have much in terms of cause of death.’

HARRISON BERRY In the late afternoon of June 23, Ada County Paramedics pulled Felix Martinez from the New York Canal.

He wasn’t breathing. He had no pulse.

By the time Boise firefighter Brent Matthews dove into the canal, Martinez had been flowing with the current for an undetermined amount of time. Responders said precious time had passed before paramedics were able to pull Martinez onto the canal bank.

Matthews said he used the Heimlich maneuver—an emergency technique in which abdominal thrusts are repeated until a blockage is pushed out of a choking victim’s airway—until sand and other debris poured out of Martinez’s mouth. Matthews then performed CPR for 25 minutes until he believed the victim had a pulse. Martinez was quickly loaded into an ambulance and taken to Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center.

Martinez’s condition worsened; within five days, he was dead. The Ada County coroner said the cause of death was drowning.

“I had just recently read a few articles on the effectiveness of performing the Heimlich maneuver on drowning victims before starting CPR,” Matthews told KTVB. But the American Heart Association insists that the Heimlich maneuver isn’t effective for drowning victims. In fact, the AHA, which has outlined the drowning rescue protocols used by first responders across the country, explicitly advises against the Heimlich maneuver because it can cause vomiting and aspiration, all of which can hinder resuscitation efforts.

Weeks later, Matthews told investigators he didn’t use the Heimlich maneuver, and misspoke to KTVB about his use of the technique.

“It turns out that, sort of contrary to what KTVB reported, and it just may have been a simple misunderstanding, but it appears that the firefighter who pulled Mr. Martinez from the canal did, in fact, not use the Heimlich,” said Boise Fire Department Communications Director Lynn Hightower.

Martinez, a homeless man, may not have attracted much attention prior to the incident, but because of the circumstances of his rescue, he has been the subject of a formal inquir—in large part because of Peter Heimlich, son of Dr. Henry Heimlich, for whom the maneuver is named.

Heimlich has long crusaded against misap-

Felix Martinez was rescued from the New York Canal on June 23. He died five days later. The Ada County coroner said the official cause of death was drowning.

plications of his father’s medical technique for decades, and the maneuver has been explicitly disadvised by the American Heart Association, the Red Cross and the Institute of Medicine at the National Academy of Sciences since the mid-1990s.

“My father, against all reason and against every drowning expert, believes that water goes into the airway and lungs of a drowning victim, thereby causing the victim to die,” Peter Heimlich told Boise Weekly. “I’m simply sharing the consensus of the profession because my father was a famous guy. He had access to the media and made bizarre claims about how drowning works.”

Heimlich said when he first saw KTVB’s report on the rescue, including the interview with Boise firefighter Matthews, he was incredulous.

“My first question was, ‘What articles is [Matthews] talking about?”

Heimlich fired off a request for an inquest into the rescue and death of Martinez to the office of Mayor Dave Bieter and Hightower.

Hightower told him to submit a records request to the Boise Fire Department; Bieter’s office passed along the request to legal counsel and the Boise Police Department. Heimlich said he felt like the case had been sidelined, but BW confirmed that a copy of the request was received by Ada County Coroner Erwin Sonnenberg.

“A fireman is a city employee. He used an unapproved drowning-rescue treatment on a patient. At this point, there are no parties interested in finding out why Mr. Matthews performed this treatment on Mr. Martinez, and I think there needs to be some governmental oversight,” Sonnenberg told Boise Weekly.

According to Sonnenberg, a so-called “hold” has been placed on Martinez’s body pending further investigation, and he wouldn’t speak in detail about Martinez’s case but did offer general comments about drowning victims and the Heimlich maneuver. Sonnenberg

said if the procedure had been the cause of death, it would be evident in the autopsy.

“You’d find internal damage from broken ribs or something torn,” he said. “You’d find damage if that caused it.”

In fact, the term “drowning” could be misleading. Medically speaking, it is the result of respiratory distress caused by a person being submerged underwater, but that process can take days or even weeks, and can culminate even after a survivor has left the hospital.

Drowning was listed as the cause of death five days after Martinez was pulled from the New York Canal and taken to the hospital. According to Sonnenberg, “drowning” describes the manner of death, rather than the cause.

“You’ve got the situation itself: found in the water, brought out. You don’t have much in terms of cause of death,” he said.

He also noted that Martinez had an unusually high blood-alcohol content at the time of his rescue—.38 percent—but that was not the cause of death, as Martinez would have metabolized the alcohol in his blood long before his death June 28. Rather, Sonnenberg said alcohol could only have “contributed” to Martinez’s death if it were the reason he was in the canal in the first place.

Heimlich’s attempts to spur an investigation by the Boise Fire Department have been successful, and an incident review is taking place so BFD can better discern the facts of the case.

“After [the review], we’ll better understand what was done, and we’ll learn from it. We learn from all the calls we go on,” said BFD Division Chief of Special Operations Paul Roberts.

The after-action review was informal, but Roberts said the department would cast a more critical eye on the case because someone from out of town raised questions about it.

“This [investigation] might be more indepth because someone from the Heimlich family called in,” he said.

CITIZEN OF TH ekly EW e w E EE IS K O B OUR CONVERSATION: Do you recall Evel Knievel’s 1974 jump?

I was there. I grew up in Twin Falls.

It’s interesting to note that none of your other books have taken place in Idaho.

That’s right; they’re set in Munich, Paris, Florence, Italy, and my next book, coming out in January, is set in Prague. I had a very lovely childhood, but honestly, I never thought that I would have a story set in Twin Falls.

So, was your Evel Knievel story tucked somewhere deep in your memory?

When I saw the jump in 1974, I was eight-months pregnant, and I thought I might write the story through the eyes of a woman who was pregnant. But then I talked with my brother—he’s 13 years younger than me—and asked him about what he remembered. And he got all excited, just like a boy, in sharing his memories. I thought, “OK, I have to tell this story through the eyes of a 10-year-old boy.”

I guess the biggest surprise for me was that your book is fiction.

That’s right. It’s the story of what happens to that boy, in a summer of youth and innocence; but Evel Knievel comes to town to jump the Snake River Canyon. I guess it’s a story of good versus… [long pause] well, to some degree, good versus Evel.

Where is the tension in your story?

The boy’s dad has died in Vietnam, and his mother has to find work, so she leaves the boy to stay with his grouchy old grandma in Twin Falls. And then there’s Uncle Buddy, out of work, until he gets a job with Evel Knievel when he comes to town. All of a sudden, the boy doesn’t want to leave Twin Falls until that jump happens.

Is that why you wrote this book?

That’s part of the reason. Plus, I thought it would be quite relevant because the 40th anniversary of the jump is coming up in a few weeks.

But the most important piece is retail. How are you putting this into bookstores?

The people at Rediscovered Books have been quite lovely. We’re making sure that they have a selection of signed books. I must say, though, that the marketing piece is so hard for me.

KELLY JONES Writing, self-publishing and Evel Knievel GEORGE PRENTICE As Boise Weekly was ending its conversation with Idaho author Kelly Jones, we asked her to autograph a copy of her just-published book Evel Knievel Jumps the Snake River Canyon … and Other Stories Close to Home (Ninth Avenue Press, June 2014).

“The hardest thing for me to do is thinking of something to say when I’m asked to sign a book,” she said. “What do you want me to say?”

Far be it from BW to tell Jones, author of seven mystery novels, published by Berkley Books, what to write. Eventually, Jones wrote she hoped we would “enjoy a visit to Twin Falls and the Snake River Canyon” through her new book.

Indeed, her story felt familiar and exciting, like re-living the days surrounding Evel Knievel’s ill-fated jump over the Snake River, which landed Twin Falls on the front pages of the world’s newspapers in September 1974.

“But my story is fiction,” she said.

That was only one of the surprises in our conversation with Jones, in which we talked about self-publishing, her discomfort with self-promotion and her story’s theme of (pardon the pun) good versus “Evel.”

But your book isn’t being distributed through your traditional publisher.

Oh my, no. My other books have been published by Berkley Books, part of the Penguin Group. They publish mainly women’s fiction. This wouldn’t have been a fit.

Most would-be authors wouldn’t know where to begin in order to self-publish.

Honestly, I didn’t either.

Was it more daunting or pretty much what you hoped it would be?

A little bit of both. I talked to a lot of people through the Idaho Writers Guild and realized that I couldn’t do most of it myself. I had a design artist [Brian Florence at Steamroller Studios] do my cover and had Sarah Tregay of [Pete Wilson] DesignWorks do my interior design. Believe me, if you have computer skills, which I don’t, it’s a lot less expensive.

But what’s the point of writing something like this if people don’t read it?

I know. I must admit that I really do want to share this story.

Two celebrated Idaho authors, Kathy McIntosh and Alan Heathcock, agree that your story is worth sharing. McIntosh wrote that you have “an exquisite sense of place that brings back treasured memories of a life lesscomplicated.” And Heathcock wrote that he “adored being transported” into your world.

I know. I’m overwhelmed by how generous they were.

It’s also worth noting your career as an author came in the second stage of your life.

I’m a mom of two, stepmom of one more, and grandma to eight. I never saw myself as a writer. I took a creative writing class at Boise State—it was about 30 years ago. I thought at the time, “Hey, this is fun.” So I kept writing.

But I’m assuming you had a full-time job.

I worked at the Idaho State Tax Commission. But I have to tell you that I was disgusted with the commission and I hated it.

One day I asked myself, “What am I doing here?” My husband asked, “Why don’t you quit?” That was 1997.

How long did it take before you were first published?

I wrote two other books before my first published book, The Seventh Unicorn, came out. That was in 2005. My fifth book will come out in 2014.

That’s a pretty good track record. How many books do you have in you?

I don’t know. Let’s find out.

AMERICA’S WORST POLITICIANS From Seattle to Miami and from Los Angeles to Boston, here are the bottom feeders of public office King George III was “a Tyrant... unfit to be the ruler of a free people,” Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence exactly 238 years ago this month.

Tommy had it right.

Ever since then, Americans have been calling out their leaders. “Tyrant” was just the start. We’ve moved on to crook (Nixon), liar (Clinton), and moron (Dubya).

Whether you agree with the peanut gallery, there’s no denying that such written assaults on public honchos are as American as baseball, apple pie and the iPhone.

So in the wake of Independence Day, those closest to American politics—50 writers and editors of the alternative press from across the land—have combined their collective genius. They’ve named 53 of the nation’s worst elected leaders from 23 of the largest states and the District of Columbia, then separated them into five categories: hatemongers, sleazeballs, blowhards, users and boozers, and horn dogs. And there’s more than just the usual stodgy Washington losers. Try Colorado sheriff Terry Maketa, who allegedly had sex with not one, not two, but three un-

derlings and then lied about it. Or check out Idaho Senate GOP leader John McGee, who stole and crashed an SUV, admitted to drinking too much, and went to jail. Upon returning to the statehouse, he was accused of groping a female staffer.

Want a little old-school corruption? Florida’s governor, Rick Scott, who will be up for re-election soon, founded a health-care empire that was whacked with the largest Medicare fraud fine in U.S. history: $1.7 billion for stealing from the feds. There’s also Washington, D.C., council member Michael Brown, who once accepted $200,000 to stay out of an election and was later indicted after grabbing at a cash-stuffed duffel bag offered by an undercover FBI agent.

Of course, there are big names here, too. South Carolina’s “Luv Guv” Mark Sanford made the list. So did Texas’ Green Eggs and Ham filibusterer Ted Cruz and Minnesota loon Michele Bachmann. Even pol wannabe Donald Trump snuck in a side door.

So in this month of fireworks and American brew, consider this hall of shame. —Chuck Strouse, Miami New Times

rivals, and claiming her dad died fighting the Nazis when he actually worked in a munitions depot during World War II and died 10 years after the war ended.

But who cares about that when there are “Messcans” to whoop on? Wahoo! Brewer spent millions in donations on appeals to a U.S. district court’s injunction against most of 1070.

Then, in 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court overthrew a large part of the statute as unconstitutional. Still, it had its intended effect.

More than 200,000 Hispanics fled the state because of 1070 and other anti-immigrant laws, according to one estimate. They took their purchasing power with them to other states, making Arizona’s recession even worse.

Brewer still plays the race card, even as a lame duck with zero political prospects. For instance, she stubbornly refuses to relent on her executive order denying driver’s licenses to so-called DREAMers who qualify for deferred action under a federal plan.

Recently, the governor has tried softening her image by pushing through a Medicaid expansion and overhauling Arizona’s inept Child Protective Services. Nevertheless, her political gravestone is destined to read, “Signed SB 1070.” —Stephen Lemons, Phoenix New Times

CALIFORNIA STATE SEN. RON CALDERON

U.S. REP. MICHELE BACHMANN, MINNESOTA Minnesota natives include Prince and Michele Bachmann, explanation enough why the state’s official bird is the loon.

Both His Royal Badness and the Tea Party’s homecoming queen have shown themselves to be geniuses at bizarre self-promotion. Alas, only Prince is a genius at his job. The congresswoman, on the other hand, is retiring in 2014 one step ahead of looming congressional censure, if not outright criminal charges.

Negro Leaguer Satchel Paige once pronounced that “it ain’t bragging if you can do it.” Bachmann, however, still preens in self-congratulation despite her utter political failure. A defrocked demagogue, she still pretends her Tea Party is a reactionary revolution, not a moribund refuge for the Republicans’ traditional bloc of bat-shit crazy far-right-wingers.

Bachmann’s gift for gaffes became horridly apparent in 2012, when she lasted one presidential primary. Visiting Waterloo, Iowa, the candidate grandiosely lauded the town because it birthed that embodiment of red-blooded patriotism, John Wayne. Unfortunately, Waterloo’s most famous resident is actually mass murderer John Wayne Gacy.

The stench still hovers from her sixth-place Iowa finish. Her pathetic showing is remarkable considering the amount of cheat-

ing allegedly perpetrated by the Bachmann campaign. Purported election law violations have been or will be investigated by the House Ethics Committee, the Federal Election Commission, Iowa’s Senate Ethics Committee, and the FBI. Additionally, one of her Iowa operatives stands accused of making illegal payoffs to political consultants, and Bachmann has been sued for stealing Hawkeye State email lists.

Prospects for Bachmann’s next gig range from hosting her own Fox News blabfest to sitting in a defendant’s chair. She has said God told her to run for national office. And thank the Lord, Congress shortly won’t have Michele Bachmann to kick around anymore. —Neal Karlen

ARIZONA GOV. JAN BREWER In 2010, Arizona’s governor, Jan Brewer, affixed her signature to the infamous, immigrant-bashing legislation called Senate Bill 1070 and rode a wave of xenophobia to electoral triumph, a book deal, conservative accolades, and liberal opprobrium.

She did this despite massive goofs such as claiming that headless bodies were routinely found in the Arizona desert, blanking for several seconds during a TV debate with her gubernatorial

In 2011, L.A. Weekly dubbed brothers Ron and Charles Calderon, then a California state senator and the assembly majority leader, respectively, the “worst legislators in California” for authoring “sponsored” laws they didn’t write—then taking serious money from the special interest groups that actually wrote them.

The Calderons insisted they weren’t selling laws. After all, of the avalanche of about 1,000 new bills introduced annually in the state, the San Jose Mercury-News found that 39 percent are ghostwritten by groups seeking to benefit—environmentalists, manufacturers, municipalities. They’re successful, too: From 2007 to 2008, sponsored bills composed 60 percent of those the governor signed into law. The Sacramento press corps largely treats “sponsored” bills as non-news. After all, almost all legislators do it.

But few legislators, we hope, do it like Ron Calderon. In February, he and a third brother, former Assemblyman Tom Calderon, were indicted for corruption. Ron allegedly took $28,000 in bribes to preserve a flawed state law that was being milked for millions of dollars by a corrupt hospital executive.

He was also charged with selling laws after taking $88,000 in bribes from a “film executive” who—whoops—was an undercover FBI agent. (Ron has been suspended from the legislature.)

And what of the other Calderon brother, Charles? In midMay, the Los Angeles Times editorial board endorsed him for a judgeship. It didn’t mention his history of taking gobs of cash from those whose custom laws he’d enabled or the fact that he’d paid his son $40,000 in campaign funds for doing basically nothing. Voters weren’t about to side with the Times and cheer on Charles. Recently they elected his opponent with 66 percent of the vote. —Jill Stewart, L.A. Weekly B O I S E WE E KLY. C O M

U.S. SEN. TED CRUZ, TEXAS Stupid is as stupid does, but the problem with Republican Ted Cruz is that the freshman senator from Texas isn’t stupid. Since taking Kay Bailey Hutchison’s seat in 2012, he has spent his time railing against pretty much every other politician from either side of the aisle. This approach has earned him the loathing of members of his own party, but it has gotten him tons of attention and made him a household name.

These are not the moves of a stupid man. It’s a clever strategy.

Cruz has made himself a Tea Party poster child and become a national political star with clear presidential intentions thanks to his remarkable talent for spouting off against most of the legislation anyone proposes (of the almost 500 votes he has cast since being elected to the Senate, more than half have been nays.)

The height of the Cruz show came when he staged a nonfilibuster filibuster to take another stand against the Affordable Care Act, even though the stunt was basically political grandstanding. Cruz stood there reading Green Eggs and Ham while the rest of Congress tried to make a deal to get the government running again.

It would be comforting to write Cruz and his antics off as the doings of a not-so-bright politician, but if he were as one-dimensional and guileless as he pretends to be, he’d be on his way out, a one-term senator. As it is, he looks to be setting himself up for a 2016 run at the White House. —Dianna Wray, Houston Press

Hart appeared on most citizens’ radar with his sponsorship of something called the Idaho Silver Gem Act, which would have allowed Idahoans to pay taxes using silver bars—mined in his home district. But Hart had no intention of paying his own taxes; he stopped filing returns in 1996. At last count, the IRS said Hart owed feds around $500,000, and the state of Idaho said he owes about $53,000 to its tax commission.

But Hart’s real chutzpah came when he regularly argued that his status as a state legislator granted him protection from dealing with the tax authorities. Meanwhile, Hart continued to tangle with the Idaho House ethics committee, which ultimately decided to let its fellow legislator skate away unscathed. Perhaps most important, Hart was regularly re-elected to the legislature by wide margins.

And in a peculiar twist, he was reportedly found asleep in his car at a rural rest stop, where a woman had been shot in April 2012. Idaho police ended up clearing Hart and sending him on his way, saying it was just a bizarre coincidence.

Too many scandals eventually caught up with Hart, and he lost a 2012 GOP primary. But his epitaph is far from being written: Federal authorities say they’re still laying the groundwork for criminal tax charges against the former lawmaker. —George Prentice, Boise Weekly

Phil Hart represented Idaho’s panhandle for four terms in the Idaho House of Representatives. But he spent almost as much time in state and federal courtrooms as he spent in the Idaho Capitol.

Terry Maketa chases bad guys—when this bad boy isn’t chasing skirts, that is. After the married politician was accused of having sexual relationships with several women on his staff—including one he elevated to oversee the sheriff’s office budget and another who was promoted despite the fact that her major credential was being a nude model—the county commissioners unanimously passed a vote of no confidence. But the term-limited Maketa decided the sheriff’s office ethics policies didn’t apply to him. He wanted to override the nominations of worthy deputies in order to award the office’s One Hundred Club prize—essentially an employee-of-the-year honor, complete with gold watch—to himself. And he doesn’t plan to write any resignation letter, maybe because he’s too busy writing messages like this one, sent to one of his female colleagues: “I think often about touching kissing and licking every inch of your amazing body.”

When three of his commanders filed a complaint against Maketa in May that included reports of sexual harassment and accused him of running a hostile workplace, they were put on administrative leave. And Maketa initially denied the allegations: “I have never had an inappropriate sexual relationship with the three individuals you named,” he told the Gazette, which broke the story. “If you publish anything to the contrary, I am fully prepared to take legal action.” But a week later, Maketa took another kind of action entirely, releasing a video apologizing to employees and admitting he’d “engaged in inappropriate behavior in the past.” —Patricia Calhoun, Westword

FORMER IDAHO HOUSE REP. PHIL HART

Portland, Ore., may be known in the national consciousness as a frivolous paradise of banjos, naked bike rides and fairtrade coffee. But its suburban commuter communities have nourished a resentful Republican movement that’s dead serious about stopping what they call “Portland creep.”

The face of this anti-Portland movement is John Ludlow, a brawny real estate broker with a shaved head that suggests Lex Luthor as a high-school sports coach. His bid for Clackamas County chair was funded by a timber magnate and propelled by a populist revolt against light rail. Once elected, he set about trying to break contracts the county had signed years earlier to extend rail lines south from Portland.

But it’s his demeanor in Clackamas—a largely rural county of 380,000 that’s becoming more Stepford all the time—that’s been the most embarrassing. In a planning meeting last summer, he yelled, “Do you want a piece of me?” at a fellow commissioner.

You can’t say voters weren’t warned. When he ran for county chair in 2012, lawn signs went up that declared, “John Ludlow is a bully.” Ludlow had previously been removed from the planning commissioner in Wilsonville, where he served as mayor, for what one city councilor called “rude, combative, argumentative, and disrespectful” behavior toward the public.

Ludlow sued, and in 2003, a judge restored him to his position, ruling his objectionable ways were actually protected speech.

A personnel complaint filed by the county’s lobbyist in April claims that, when news broke about the Boston Marathon bombing, Ludlow declared it was likely the work of “a damn A-rab.” Speculating about suspects in a local shooting, he allegedly said, “I bet they were Mexicans.”

And when a former county board member, Ann Lininger, won appointment to an open state legislative seat this year, Ludlow said she succeeded because “she does a good job of sticking out her perky titties in people’s faces.”

Ludlow apologized for his statements while denying making the comments about the state legislator’s breasts. An investigator cleared Ludlow of violating any county rules—but added that, when it came to the “perky titties” comment, Ludlow’s denial was probably a lie. —Aaron Mesh, Willamette Week

EL PASO COUNTY SHERIFF TERRY MAKETA, COLORADO

FORMER IDAHO SEN. AND GOP MAJORITY CAUCUS CHAIRMAN JOHN MCGEE BOISEweekly | JULY 16–22, 2014 | 11

John McGee began winning elections before he was 20 years old and didn’t stop until he became chairman of the Idaho Republican Majority Caucus—he had become the 21st-century face of what many people considered the future of the Idaho GOP. But today, at 41, McGee has had his face plastered on more mug shots than campaign posters and is considered a political pariah.

Following his June 2011 drunken driving arrest, McGee admitted to imbibing a bit too much at a Father’s Day golf tournament. He was also charged with stealing an SUV that night (complete with a utility trailer) and crashing it in a neighbor’s front yard, prompting a bathrobe-clad woman to rush to her bedroom window. Police said McGee emerged from the wreckage, mumbled something about the woman being an angel, made some passing remarks about driving the stolen vehicle to Jackpot, Nev., and promptly passed out.

McGee, who by then was an Idaho state senator, saw that his political career was hanging in the balance. So he underwent a series of mea culpa TV interviews in which he spoke in hushed tones about how eager he was to “move forward.”

But after he retained his Republican leadership role and returned to the Idaho statehouse politically unscathed, it turned out that some of McGee’s moves were more than forward; they were inappropriate. A female staffer said he had sexually harassed her on several occasions at the state capitol. According to the staffer, McGee exposed himself, asked for sex, and groped the subordinate. He was sentenced to 90 days in jail, but after 44 days behind bars, he was released “for good behavior.” He hasn’t been heard from, at least publicly, since. —George Prentice, Boise Weekly

youngest county executive in the nation. His fall from grace began a couple of years ago, when a very tan bodybuilder named Tamara—also a county social worker—came forward to reveal her long affair with Reardon, a married man with two young children. There were junkets, most of them put on the county’s credit card, and even an intimacy kit containing condoms and lubricants purchased during one of their trysts at a boutique hotel in Washington, D.C. In Chicago, he skipped out on the Democratic Leadership Council conference by faking a headache and then hailed a taxi to have dinner and drinks with Tamara. Reardon weathered scandal after scandal—the out-of-control drunkard of a planning director he hired who groped a building-industry lobbyist on a golf course, allegations of using county resources for his campaign, a Washington State Patrol investigation into his travel.

Then came the final straw, which smacked of Nixonian politics: One of his staffers concocted a phony name and made public-records requests of county employees who had spoken to police about Reardon’s involvement with Tamara. His staff was also tied to web pages that attacked Reardon’s political opponents. Reardon resigned last year and called for an independent investigation into “false and scurrilous accusations.”

He is said to be living in exile somewhere in Arizona. —Ellis E. Conklin, Seattle Weekly

in Cave Junction, Robinson has been spreading the gospel of nuclear power and Christian homeschooling since the 1980s.

He ran two losing challenges to U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio— campaigns that brought fewer votes than headlines about his views on public schools (they’re child abuse) and nuclear waste (a little exposure is good for us). He has advocated sprinkling radioactive waste over the ocean from airplanes to strengthen our immune systems.

Robinson might just be your run-of-the-mill country kook— Grizzly Adams meets Dr. Strangelove—except his views have tapped a lucrative vein in the paranoid style of American politics. (He raised about $1.2 million in each of his congressional races.) That fundraising power was too much for the cashstrapped state GOP to resist—it elected him chairman last fall, deciding extremism in pursuit of money is no vice.

Robinson immediately proved he isn’t shy about asking for contributions. Weeks after his appointment, he mailed every household in Josephine County and requested a urine sample.

He explained the fluids would be used in tests that would “improve our health, our happiness, and prosperity.” —Aaron Mesh, Willamette Week

WASHINGTON STATE SEN. PAM ROACH MONTANA STATE REP. JERRY O’NEIL In fall 2012, Montana Rep. Jerry O’Neil, a Republican from Columbia Falls, drew national media attention when he requested that the state pay his legislative wage in gold and silver. But his letter to Montana Legislative Services was largely laughed off.

The response was in keeping with public reaction to much of O’Neil’s 12-year legislative record. During the 2013 legislative session alone, he introduced bills to eliminate the minimum wage for high-school dropouts, limit the federal government’s ability to regulate firearm restrictions, and allow criminals to opt out of jail time by submitting themselves to corporal punishment. Of the last proposal, O’Neil famously told the Associated Press in January 2013: “Ten years in prison or you could take 20 lashes, perhaps two lashes a year?”

Professionally, O’Neil calls himself an “independent paralegal.” He has been at odds with the Montana State Bar and the state supreme court’s Commission on Unauthorized Practice ever since 2001, when a district judge wrote a letter stating O’Neil was engaged in the “unauthorized practice of law.”

All of this adds up to a long and predominantly unsuccessful career of comical yet troubling policy attempts. But O’Neil is determined to keep trying. He’s campaigning for his seventh term in the Montana Legislature. —Alex Sakariassen, Missoula Independent

Pam Roach has the temperament of a thunder cloud, with an in-your-face personality and a penchant for screaming and berating staff members and fellow lawmakers that once got her banned from Republican caucus meetings.

Roach, who has represented a conservative suburban district southeast of Seattle for 24 years, cemented her Rottweilerian reputation in 2006, when she threw a tantrum after someone removed a bouquet of roses from her senate floor desk.

Rising, red-faced, from her seat, she bellowed, “I am incensed that anyone would move or touch anything on a senator’s desk, and I want to find out who took my flowers and moved them, and I intend to take action.”

Roach has no off switch. She works without a net—and without a filter. She is constantly gaveled down. Legislative reporters grab their notepads when she gets up to speak, for who knows what will come out of her mouth.

On her blog, the Pam Roach Report, she has written, “It is women like me who pass on the genes we hope our sons have when they go to Iraq or Afghanistan. It is women like me who do not show fear.” She’s been reprimanded repeatedly for her tirades and was told on one occasion to seek professional help after staffers accused her of illegally obtaining employees’ email messages and brandishing a handgun at one of them. One Olympia aide said her verbal attacks were commonplace: “We call it being ‘Roached.’ ” —Ellis E. Conklin, Seattle Weekly

Until June 2009, Mark Sanford was little more than a buffoon in C Street slacks and a sensible libertarian sports jacket from the clearance rack at Kohl’s. During his first term as governor of South Carolina and most of his second, there were laughs aplenty. He took two piglets into the statehouse to protest earmarks. One was named Pork, the other Barrel—natch—and one, if not both, promptly shat on the floor during Sanford’s important presser.

Then there was the time when the state legislature overrode, or nearly overrode, all of his vetoes. We’re not sure if that was in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, or 2009 because it seemed to happen every year. And then there was Sanford’s general weirdness. When he was a child, his well-todo family slept in the same room during the summer to conserve electricity, and when his father died, guess who made the coffin—Mark. During his gubernatorial years, Sanford liked to dig holes with a hydraulic excavator back at his country farm in order to relax—unfortunately, a child fell into one of those holes and died.

But then came some real creepiness. It began when Sanford apparently told his staff he was taking off to hike the Appalachian Trail, but instead he flew to Argentina on the taxpayer’s dime to be with his mistress.

Upon his return home, the Luv Guv gave a strangely honest but extremely uncomfortable confession on live television.

Much to everyone’s surprise, the Bible-beating members of the South Carolina Statehouse didn’t demand his immediate resignation — and this was even after they had read his erotic poetry. Shortly after Sanford’s affair became public, his wife Jenny divorced him and wrote a tell-all book (the governor once gave her a piece of paper for her birthday featuring a drawing of half of a bicycle, and the next year he gave her a drawing with the other half, along with a $25 used bike). Jenny also filed a complaint with the court after Mark repeatedly trespassed on her property; he even hung out at her home during the Super Bowl when she wasn’t there.

And get this, he flew airplanes at their two sons. Yes, you read that correctly—he flew airplanes at his children, whatever that means, according to the divorce settlement. But despite all of that—the cheating, the lying, the stalking, and the childhood terrorizing — Sanford ran for his old U.S. House seat and won. Now he can take his mistress out to eat in D.C. without meeting the disapproving eyes of his constituents back home in Charleston. —Chris Haire, Charleston City Paper B O I S E WE E KLY. C O M

He looks like Voldemort, speaks in the high-pitched timbre of a Wes Anderson movie villain, and wants to drug-test as many human beings as possible. More disastrous for Florida residents, he’s recklessly rejected federal stimulus packages and dismantled regulatory agencies. He’s Rick Scott, and he’s America’s least popular governor for damn good reason.

Backed by a wave of Tea Party support—and bankrolled by $70 million of his own cash—he won a shocking gubernatorial victory in 2010. The win was all the more remarkable considering Scott’s background. His fortune came from founding a health-care empire, later called Columbia/HCA, which paid the single-largest Medicare fraud fine in U.S. history—$1.7 billion for stealing from the feds.

Scott showed that his wanton disregard for regulation didn’t end with his golden parachute from his felonious firm. In the governor’s office, he quickly stripped millions of dollars from the state health care agency and laid off environmental regulators. He also signed new laws requiring all welfare recipients and every state employee to undergo random drug testing. How did he get around the slightly sticky wicket that a firm he owned makes millions by administering such tests? He signed the company over to his wife. (The courts have since thrown out the drug-testing laws for violating the Fourth Amendment.)

He’s made other shady moves. Scott rejected $2.4 billion in federal aid to build a high-speed train in Central Florida and lied about the state having to eat cost overruns for the project. During the 2012 presidential election, he tried to suppress black votes with blatantly race-based bans on Sunday early voting (which black congregations dominate). He also tried to kill a prescription-drug database that has decimated oxycodone abuse, while his underfunded health care agency has allowed steroid clinics—like the Biogenesis clinic at the heart of last year’s Major League Baseball scandal—to proliferate.

And through it all, Scott has largely flouted Florida’s “Sunshine laws” by hiding his correspondence from the public and resisted reporters’ attempts to hold him accountable—all while grinning like a demented right-wing Skeletor for TV cameras at scripted events. Is it any wonder his opinion polls have struggled to top 30 percent since he was elected? —Tim Elfrink, Miami New Times

Though the Donald isn’t technically a politician (he has never held office), he routinely threatens to run for president and perpetually inserts himself into the national political debate.

From stoking conspiracy theories by offering a $5 million bounty for President Obama’s birth certificate to calling the 2012 election “a sham and a travesty,” Trump is the ultimate political troll.

The reality TV star and real estate magnate recently toyed with the idea of running as the GOP candidate for governor of New York before removing himself from the race. And he has donated millions to candidates from both parties over the years. While his political ambitions may be as absurd as his comb-over, Trump is a master at exploiting the media to generate semi-serious discussion of fringy ideas that would normally be dismissed out of hand.

At various times, Trump has suggested repealing campaign contribution limits, imposing a 25 percent tariff on all Chinese goods, and building a “triple-layered fence” and flying Predator drones along the Mexican border.

Trump’s sideshow routine has become tiresome for some reporters (BuzzFeed’s McKay Coppins compared the experience of covering the Donald’s short-lived 2014 gubernatorial campaign to “donning a network-branded parka during a snowstorm and shouting into the camera about a predictable phenomenon”), but many major news outlets still find the act irresistible for the ratings and page views. And that raises the question: Who’s dumber, Donald Trump or the journalists who keep feeding the troll? —Keegan Hamilton

The call for campaign finance reform has escalated dramatically since the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in the Citizens United case. Much of the concern centers on the shadowy world of so-called dark-money groups—politically active nonprofits that aren’t required to disclose their donors. No politician in Montana is more closely tied to dark money than Sen. Art Wittich, a Republican from Bozeman and the 2013 state senate majority leader.

For years, Wittich’s law firm acted as the registered agent for the nonprofit, Colorado-based American Tradition Partnership (ATP). Formerly known as Western Tradition Partnership, ATP was featured in a 2012 exposé on Frontline.

Wittich’s firm also represented ATP in its challenge to Montana’s Corrupt Practices Act, which barred corporate spending in state campaigns for a century. The act was overturned.

Relying in part on information contained in several boxes of documents recovered from a meth house in Colorado, Montana’s commissioner of Political Practices has issued eight rulings of campaign practice violations against ATP over the past year. One of them was tied to Wittich’s 2010 primary bid.

The commissioner also ruled this year that Wittich violated campaign law during that race by coordinating with and accepting corporate donations through ATP. A district court judge recently declined a recommendation that Wittich be removed from the 2014 ballot. So the senator will again bid to run—in a district where he does not reside. —Alex Sakariassen, Missoula Independent

Three weighty words on their own them together and you get a rock and blues supergroup comprised of guitarist/vocalist/producer (and band co-founder) Mike Zito, bassist Charlie Wooton and drummer Yonrico Scott, as well as percussionist/vocalist Cyril Neville of The Neville Brothers and guitarist/vocalist Devon Allman, son of rock icon Gregg Allman. And while a family name like Neville or Allman can open doors, a kick-ass band can blow it right off its hinges—and the Royal Southern Brotherhood hasn’t seen a closed door since its 2012 self-titled debut.

Watching an adult lion take down and devour a gazelle makes for great TV but isn’t the most appetizing act; but Zoo Boise has found a way to make watching lions eat—and being able to eat while they do-—not only possible but something truly special.

For less than the cost of a couple of venti mochas and a biscotti, Zoo Boise’s Breakfast With the Lions series includes a breakfast buffet for the humans, who also get an exclusive view of the king of the jungle getting a “special enrichment” (think “treat”). As if grub and a close-up of the big cats weren’t enough, attendees will also have “an exciting encounter” with a Zoo Boise education animal.

9-10 a.m., $10.95 adults, $6.95 children. Reservations are required and can be made online at store.zooboise.org or by calling 208-608-7747. Zoo Boise, 355 Julia Davis Drive, 208-608-7760, zooboise.org.

TUESDAY JULY 22

WELCOME TO NIGHT VALE Welcome to Night Vale is the kind of podcast you find yourself listening to as you drive through the night from town to rural Eastern Idaho town, watching hundreds of red lights blink slowly in the distance, atop a mass of giant wind turbines. It’s a Twilight Zone-esque program, with the story of a small desert town told through scratchy news bulletins and weather updates from the Sheriff’s Secret Police.

The twice-monthly podcast has developed a cult following and now tours the globe with live shows. Boise gets its own whiff of the mystery when Welcome to Night Vale descends on the Egyptian Theatre Tuesday night.

Until then, the friendly folks from Night Vale would like you remind you of something: “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t even begin to comprehend the infinite possible consequences of your actions.”

8 p.m. $25. The Egyptian Theatre, 700 W. Main St., 208345-0454, egyptiantheatre.net.

TENTSILE TREE TENT It’s the dead of night. Outside your tent, you hear the furtive stalking of an animal. The sound of padded feet gets closer and closer, the outline of a large beast sharp in the moonlight. Suddenly, a snout presses against the tent, a thin sheet of nylon standing between you and the famished creature outside gunning for your stash of trail mix and SlimJims.

Maybe you can distract the intruder by throwing your snacks into the distance and making a run for it. But if you’d only taken a Tentsile Tree Tent ($599-$749) on this trip, you wouldn’t have been in this situation in the first place.

Tentsile tents are a cross tentsile.com between a conventional tent and a hammock—they look a bit like a butterfly cocoon lying on its side. Internal dividers keep inhabitants from sliding to the lowest point, and they are suspended between three trees, as high up as you want them to be.

Now that you’re elevated above uneven terrain, you can safely thumb your nose at wolves, komodo dragons, bugs and whatever else might be roaming in the forest late at night.

ROGER THAT Life Itself remembers the critic’s critic GEORGE PRENTICE I last saw Roger Ebert in September 2011, at the movies, of course.

Seeing him took me back to decades earlier. An editor, trying to inspire me to write a movie review less about actors and more about acting, tossed me a copy of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, a bestselling collection of essays by Pauline Kael, the then-high brow film critic for The New Yorker. It was heady stuff. A few weeks later, that same editor told me to forget about the Kael book and instead, pay more attention to a newspaper writer from Chicago who had just won the Pulitzer Prize, the first-ever Pulitzer for film criticism. Besides, my boss told me, this critic was a dyed-in-the-wool newspaperman.

That’s how I always saw—and read— Roger Ebert: as a writer for a daily newspaper. I never really saw him as the co-star The late Gene Siskel (left) and Roger Ebert (right), hosts of the first-of-its kind critic vs. critic television show, of Sneak Previews, the first-of-its-kind critic Sneak Previews.

If you hear, “It’s me Dave. Open up, man. I got the stuff,” it’s not a CIA agent waiting for the correct response before divulging the drop site for some microfilm. It is a kind of code, though, and fans of Grammywinning duo Cheech and Chong know the reply.

Tommy Chong and Richard “Cheech” Marin hugely influenced pop culture, and made a name—and a living—perfecting stoner comedy. They started in stand-up, found a bigger audience with their 1971 self-titled album and an even bigger one after 1978’s Up In Smoke. More albums and more films followed, but times and the duo’s relationship change, which could have been harbingers of the end. Instead, both men continued with successful careers: Chong has done hundreds of cameos, often portraying a stoner hippie; Marin is known best to some as Don Johnson’s Nash Bridges sidekick, Joe Dominguez; both have contributed their voices to a number of animated characters; and they continue to perform live, touring now with another ’70s classic, the band WAR. By the way, if anyone asks, “Dave’s not here.”

SUMMER LAWN BASH, JULY 19, CROOKED FLATS Two organizations that know how to throw a shindig are concert promoter Duck Club, the folks behind Treefort Music Fest, and Crooked Fence Brewing, purveyors of Little Bitch Otter Ale. It stands to reason if the two join forces, the result is going to be one helluva party. Well, they have and it probably will.

The first ever Summer Lawn Bash is an all-day, all-ages affair at Crooked Flats full of music (duh), beer (also duh) and food, as well as lawn games and wake-skating—think waterskiing meets skateboarding. Live music comes from Treefort alum Roadkill Ghost Choir (pictured above), described by DC’s Eric Gilbert as “My Morning Jacket/Band of Horses meets grunge vibe.” The Florida folk rockers appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman earlier this year, were at Bonnaroo last month and will be at Lollapalooza next month. RGC is joined by Utah rockers Desert Noises and local bands Hollow Wood, Virgil and Edmond Dantes. Tickets are a 10-spot and are available at theduckclub. com, where you can listen to tunes from all of the bands, too.

IMBIBE/DRINK SPICE UP COCKTAIL HOUR WITH HERBAL VODKAS The liquor store’s vodka section feels oddly like an ice cream parlor: salted caramel, cookie dough and wedding cake vodkas jockey for space with acai berry, pumpkin pie and mint chocolate chip flavors. Reading the labels is enough to give you a stomach ache and a preemptive hangover. So while this month’s tasting technically involves flavored vodkas, these herbal concoctions have little in common with their saccharine peers.

BAK’S ZUBROWKA BISON GRASS VODKA, $26.20 Lightly herbaceous on the nose, this faint green Polish import has a single blade of bison grass, or “zubrowka,” dwelling inside. On the palate, soothing chamomile notes blend with an everso-light hit of cinnamon resulting in a sweet, easy drinking nip that one sampler proclaimed “tastes like wildflowers smell.” This vodka would make a great nightcap, served on the rocks.

Mixers would overwhelm its subtle and intriguing flavors.

SQUARE ONE BASIL ORGANIC VODKA, $32.75 With a pungent blast of licorice on the nose, this clear, organic vodka smells more like anise than basil at first whiff.

And though the bottle claims it’s infused with the essence of Genovese, Thai, Lemon and Sweet basils, the licorice flavor dominates the palate, bringing up comparisons to candy-coated fennel seeds and Pastis.

This tipple, with its silky mouthfeel, would make a great digestif.

ABSOLUT CILANTRO, $16.95 Limey, citrus notes rule the nose on this pungent vodka, with subtle hints of earthy cilantro clawing through after a few sniffs. This hooch is the hottest of the three on the palate, with bright lime and non-soapy cilantro flavors bursting through then diffusing quickly.

One taster compared it to cheap lime popsicles.

This one would be best in a cocktail—perhaps in a gimlet served with spicy Thai food or even in a bloody mary.

POWDERHAUS BREWING GEARS UP IN GARDEN CITY Plus Post Modern Brewers prepares to take over TableRock system TARA MORGAN Garden City is comically less verdant than its name implies. Which is why we’re suggesting Boise’s industrial little bro officially change its name to Beer City. With Payette, Crooked Fence and Kilted Dragon already cranking out craft brews there—and Haff Brewing and Powderhaus Brewing on the way—Garden City is shaping up to be the suds capital of the Treasure Valley.

Tyson Cardon and Tyler Schmidt, co-owners of Garden City’s latest beery addition, Powderhaus Brewing Company, recently announced it will be constructing a 15-barrel brewery on an empty lot at 9719 W. Chinden Blvd.

“We’re going to be building a production facility; it’s only going to be production with a tasting facility. … We’re not a restaurant,” explained Cardon.

He said the brewery plans to be “fairly large from the get-go” and will work with a distributor to get its beers on tap around town.

“We’re looking to distribute throughout the Treasure Valley to begin, and then we’ll go from there,” said Cardon.

The name Powderhaus merges “powder,” referencing Idaho’s ski culture, with the German word “haus,” or house. And the German is germane.

“Germany is known for their beers and we want to brew good quality beers that you’d see in those classic styles from Germany,” said Cardon, adding, “Really what we’re going to be focusing on is brewing very, very wellbrewed, quality, classic styles.”

Though Powderhaus is still finalizing recipes for its flagship beers, Cardon said the brewery is planning to offer seasonal releases and oneoff brews throughout the year. The brewery will also feature an outdoor entertainment area with a stage, where local and national bands can perform.

“The majority of it will be local bands,” said Cardon. “We like to support the idea of local entertainment. … I understand it’s hard to find places to play so we want to be a good venue for that.”

Cardon said Powderhaus is hoping to be open by December.

“We’re shooting for the holidays right now and that’s about as best a guess as I can give,” he said.

Powderhouse gears up for its brewery to become a reality, and Deschutes puts its beer in gear—literally.

In other brewery news, Grind Modern Burger released more details about the brewery it’s opening in the former TableRock space at 705 W. Fulton St. in Boise. According to partner Rick Boyd, Post Modern Brewers is aiming to “create a bridge between those that have already embraced craft beer and those that may not have warmed to it just yet.”

“In the five years that I’ve been with Brewforia, we’ve seen a lot of changes in the craft beer market,” said Boyd. “Obviously, a lot of people have moved over from the fizzy light lagers to something a little bit more substantial, and we’re trying to take it to that next level by creating beers that are a little outside the norm.

What most of the breweries that start out tend to focus on are pretty traditional light pilsners, IPAs, pales, so we’ll have those as well, but we’ll also have some more unique offerings that appeal to wine and cocktail drinkers.”

Boyd explained that one the brewery’s initial offerings will be a Berliner weisse, a mildly tart German-style beer that’s traditionally served with a flavored syrup.

“We’ll be doing a Berliner weisse yearround and instead of just focusing on, say, a raspberry syrup, we’ll be developing a line of seasonal syrups so throughout the year that beer will change. … We’ll be doing things like strawberry rhubarb in the summer and we’ve got a pineapple sage that we’re working on, watermelon syrup—that way we can produce one beer but always have it be something different.”

Post Modern Brewers is also developing specific brews to pair with specific Grind burgers.

“We’ll be playing with a lot of savory flavors and trying to accentuate certain aspects of the beer and the burgers as a pairing. … So if we have an Asian-inspired burger, we may create a beer that has some Asian characteristic, whether it’s chilies or maybe it’s tamarind, so it’s kind of sour,” said Boyd.

The brewery is also toying around with some more creative, interactive approaches to serving its beer.

“There’s a popular trend in craft beer bars called ‘randalling,’ which is kind of filtering beers through a container as you pour it from the tap and introducing flavors into them,” said Boyd. “We have a little system that we’ve been playing with that would allow people to do a customization right there at the table with each beer. … Think of it as the ‘build your own frozen yogurt of beer.’”

Post Modern Brewers has hired homebrewer Marvin Kinney as its head brewer, and has also consulted with former TableRock Head Brewer Derek Anderson, along with brewers from Selkirk Abbey in Post Falls and Laughing Dog Brewing in Ponderay. Post Modern Brewers will mostly focus on producing beer for Grind, but also plans to do some limited keg distribution and is considering buying a bottling line.

Boyd said the brewery should be up and running soon, in time to pour brews at Grind’s late-August opening.

NEWS/REC REC

TEEING UP THE COSTS Last winter, Boise Weekly reported on how the city of Boise doubled its municipal golf course inventory, when Dave Hendrickson donated Quail Hollow (BW, Rec, “Teeing Up to Play Quail Hollow,” Nov. 27, 2013). Now, the Boise City Council wants to know how its fees measure up to other golf courses in the Treasure Valley.

“Periodically, we’ll give the Council a market comparison,” said Boise Parks and Recreation Director Doug Holloway. He said he makes a conscious effort to keep the rates at municipal golf courses in the middle of the pack.

The latest analysis shows just that: Of Boise’s two municipal courses, Warm Springs Golf Course fees are $31 on a weekend and Quail Hollow’s are $32.

Comparatively, Indian Lakes Golf Club’s are $27, Meridian’s Lakeview charges $32, and Nampa’s Ridgecrest Golf Club charges $35. Outliers include Mountain Home Golf Course at $20 and Eagle’s BanBury Golf Course at $49.50.

Of the 12 courses examined, the municipals fall almost smack dab in the middle on everything from weekday prices to golf cart rentals. Holloway said finding that sweet spot is important.

“I think we’re about where we would like to be,” Holloway said. “Because we’re run by the city, we want to make sure that we’re not significantly [cheaper] than the other courses of similar size and quality, because then it looks like we might be utilizing the city as a public entity to undercut prices. But we also want to make golf very affordable.”

Holloway said these courses aren’t trying to compete with high-end clubs like BanBury. Playing at Warm Springs or Quail Hollow is “different” from those places.

“And it attracts a different type of golfer,” Holloway said.

Making golf accessible is a big goal at Quail Hollow and youth programs have been in the works since the city took it over in December. Holloway said the price point makes it all possible.

Both of Boise’s municipal courses operate with revenue they generate, using no tax dollars. Some start-up costs came out of general funds for Quail Hollow but that includes building a restaurant, which is slated to open this summer. Other than that, all maintenance and expansion must come from within. Holloway said the price point on these golf courses meets that goal, too.

The City Council thanked Parks and Recreation for its analysis and made no plans to change rates.

JES S IC A M U R R I

Money shot.

IT’S NOT ABOUT THE FISH Coping with war on the water JESSICA MURRI Early morning is when the fish bite. At 5 a.m on a recent Sunday, in darkness, six military veterans stood around a couple of pickup trucks smoking cigarettes. One had a Purple Heart license plate and a wheelchair in the bed. The others were inked, and when they joked with each other, nothing was off limits; “yo-momma” slams zinged back and forth.

The veterans headed to the South Fork of the Boise River to go fly fishing. When the trucks crossed the Anderson Ranch Dam and dropped into a gorge of dirt road, the wheelchair bounced every time they hit a pothole. This wasn’t a guided trip with some nonprofit devoted to fly fishing; these were the friends of Jake Thacker.

Thacker met these guys through the Idaho Veterans Network and on that day, he was having them trade their structured Thursday night support group for a day on the river.

Most of them had never even held a fly rod.

Eric Keren has a little experience fly fishing and tried to teach one of the guys how to cast.

“Come back to about your ear, pause, let it unfold, then let go with your trigger finger,” he said. The guy’s line whipped back and fell barely a foot away.

“Let’s do it together a couple times,” Keren said, placing his hand over his student’s, so they held onto the rod together, casting over and over. “Don’t fight me,” Keren said. “Let’s try again. That one. Did you feel the difference?”

“No.” “Eh, first-timer.”

They stood before an iconic Idaho landscape: golden hills, morning sun glinting off the river, birds and birch trees, the smell of bug spray. They tested the height of their waders in the water, and their casts looked nothing like the magazine-cover fly fisherman’s.

“I had forgotten how much it was therapeutic, really, just being out on a river, a creek or something, catchin’ fish,” Thacker said.

Fly fishing helped Thacker return his life to normal after he came back from the invasion of Iraq. He said war is the hardest thing he’s ever done. He called it life changing; “not fun.”

“I was depressed, I was isolating, I had substance abuse problems, but getting out, it took my mind off all that,” Thacker said.

“And I felt good, you know, because I actu-

Casting a (life) line on the Boise River.

ally went outside and did something, instead of just sitting in my room depressed.”

His friends have seen the change in him since he picked up his rod again. George Nickel is the vice president of the Idaho Veterans Network, and he remembers the first time he met Thacker.

“He was a basket case,” Nickel said.

“He was handling a lot of his problems on his own and just internalizing a lot of stuff, coping with problems in self-destructive manners. When I first met Jake, I didn’t think he had a sense of humor. There was no humor involved in it. It was all business, all seriousness, and now, there’s actually good times.”

Nickel waded out into the river alone.

His thick fingers covered with silver rings, he cast his fly rod calmly, repetitively.

It was a stark difference from his rock bottom in 2009, when Nickel put on his combat vest, grabbed his rifle and his handgun, and started shooting down the hall of his apartment complex. He ended up in an armed standoff with the Boise Police Department.

“It’s two different universes, I mean, where I was then to where I am now. …

Sunday, this time of day, I would be knee deep in a 24-pack. I couldn’t imagine standing out here learning how to fly fish because I couldn’t envision any type of future at all.”

Nickel now owns a fly rod.

Thacker, who goes fishing three times a week, has a goal to get other vets, like James Donaldson, out there, too.

With the help of his friends, Donaldson navigated his wheelchair to the bank, grunting as he wheeled over large river rocks.

Thacker handed him a pole.

“The last time I fished,” Donaldson said, “I was still in high school.”

Donaldson’s legs end at his knees. He lost them during his tour in Iraq a few years ago.

“It was the morning of July 14,” Donaldson said. His unit had just finished a patrol with the Iraqi police. Donaldson was driving

between two other Humvees when he got hit by a IED. “I didn’t feel anything. I tried to stop the Humvee, but I couldn’t hit the brakes,” Donaldson said. “I guess my left leg was gone-gone.” Donaldson’s right leg was still there, but it was stuck on the gas pedal, so the vehicle didn’t stop until it ran into something.

Donaldson doesn’t even remember what that something was.

“I had a hard time adapting,” he said. “I didn’t leave my apartment or do anything from ’07 until the beginning of ’09. I was tired, I was depressed, down.”

Since then, Donaldson has learned to play basketball from his chair. He has gone bowling and shooting, ridden four-wheelers and played ping-pong. And now, he has gone fly fishing.

“It’s still an everyday thing for me,” Donaldson said. “It’s still hard to accept the fact that I don’t have my legs, but yeah, I would have never met these guys; honestly, I don’t think I ever would have.”

Thacker has been trying to get Donaldson to come to the river for a while now. When he finally did come out, Thacker said he just wanted Donaldson to have a good time and enjoy himself, even if he didn’t catch a fish.

“I want to get him hooked,” Thacker said.

“It’s good for him. He says he needs to get out, and I agree.”

Thacker is working on getting a degree in business now, and plans to open his own guide service once he has it. For him, this isn’t a hobby; it’s something he wants to do with his life. And Thacker has already started reaching out to businesses, trying to get fly fishing gear and trips donated to the Idaho Veterans Network. He’s always looking for more vets to take out on the water and get them hooked, too.

On that Sunday, the vets didn’t catch a single fish. But that didn’t matter to them.

That’s not what this was about. It was about relaxation. It was about opening up. It was about recovery.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “I have complete faith in the continued absurdity of whatever’s going on,” says satirical news commentator Jon Stewart. That’s a healthy attitude. To do his work, he needs a never-ending supply of stories about people doing crazy, corrupt and hypocritical things. I’m sure this subject matter makes him sad and angry. But it also stimulates him to come up with funny ideas that entertain and educate his audience—and earns him a very good income. I invite you to try his approach, Aries. Have faith that the absurdity you experience can be used to your advantage.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Bananas grow in Iceland, a country that borders the Arctic Ocean.

About 700 of the plants thrive in a large greenhouse heated by geothermal energy. They don’t mature as fast as the bananas in Ecuador or Costa Rica. The low amounts of sunlight mean they require two years to ripen instead of a few months. To me, this entire scenario is a symbol for the work you have ahead of you. You’ve got to encourage and oversee growth in a place that doesn’t seem hospitable in the usual ways, although it is actually just fine. And you must be patient, knowing that the process might take a while longer than it would in other circumstances.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): While at a cafe, I overheard two people at the next table talking about astrology. “I think the problemsolvers of the zodiac are Cancers and Capricorns,” said a young, moon-faced woman. “Agreed,” said her companion, an older woman with chiseled features.

“And the problem-creators are Scorpios and Geminis.” I couldn’t help myself: I had to insert myself into their conversation so as to defend you. Leaning over toward their table, I said, “Speaking as a professional astrologer, I’ve got to say that right now Geminis are at least temporarily the zodiac’s best problem-solvers. Give them a chance to change your minds.” The women laughed, and moon-face said, “You must be a Gemini.” “No,” I replied. “But I’m on a crusade to help Geminis shift their reputations.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Mozart debuted his now-famous opera Don Giovanni in Prague on October 29, 1787. It was a major production, featuring an orchestra, a chorus, and eight main singers. Yet the composer didn’t finish writing the opera’s overture until less than 24 hours before the show. Are you cooking up a similar scenario, Cancerian?

I suspect that sometime in the next two weeks you will complete a breakthrough with an inspired, last-minute effort. And the final part of your work may well be its “overture;” the first part will arrive

last. (P.S.: Mozart’s Don Giovanni was well-received, and I expect your offering will be, too.)

yourself on track to fulfill your life’s most important goals. Take full advantage!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “We must learn to bear the pleasures as we have borne the pains,” says writer Nikki Giovanni. That will be apt advice for you to keep in mind during the coming months, Leo. You may think I’m perverse for suggesting such a thing. Compared to how demanding it was to manage the suffering you experienced in late 2013 and earlier this year, you might assume it will be simple to deal with the ease and awakening that are heading your way.

But I’d like you to consider the possibility that these blessings will bring their own challenges. For example, you may need to surrender inconveniences and hardships you have gotten used to, almost comfortable with. It’s conceivable you will have to divest yourself of habits that made sense when you were struggling, but are now becoming counterproductive.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “There is no such thing as a failed experiment,” said author and inventor Buckminster Fuller, “only experiments with unexpected outcomes.” That’s the spirit I advise you to bring to your own explorations in the coming weeks.

Your task is to try out different possibilities to see where they might lead. Don’t be attached to one conclusion or another. Be free of the drive to be proven right.

Instead, seek the truth in whatever strange shape it reveals itself.

Be eager to learn what you didn’t even realize you needed to know.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I would hate for your fine mind to become a liability. As much as I admire your native skepticism and analytical intelligence, it would be a shame if they prevented you from getting the full benefit of the wonders and marvels that are brewing in your vicinity. Your operative motto in the coming days comes from Virgo storyteller Roald Dahl: “Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.” Suspend your disbelief, my beautiful friend.

Make yourself receptive to the possibility of being amazed.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Kris Kristofferson is in the Country Music Hall of Fame now, but it took a while for him to launch his career. One of his big breaks came at age 29, when he was sweeping floors at a recording studio in Nashville. He managed to meet superstar Johnny Cash, who was working there on an album.

A few years later, Kristofferson boldly landed a helicopter in Cash’s yard to deliver his demo tape. That prompted Cash to get him a breakthrough gig performing at the Newport Folk Festival. I wouldn’t be surprised if you were able to further your goals with a similar sequence: luck that puts you in the right place at the right time, followed by some brazen yet charming acts of self-promotion.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In her poem “Looking Back,” Sarah Brown Weitzman writes that she keeps “trying to understand / how I fell / so short of what I intended / to do with my life.”

Is there a chance that 30 years from now you might say something similar, Scorpio? If so, take action to ensure that outcome doesn’t come to pass. Judging from the astrological omens, I conclude that the next 10 months will be a favorable time to get

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Architects in ancient Rome used concrete to create many durable structures, some of which are still standing. But the recipe for how to make concrete was forgotten for more than a thousand years after the Roman Empire collapsed in the fifth century. A British engineer finally rediscovered the formula in 1756, and today concrete is a prime component in many highways, dams, bridges and buildings. I foresee a similar story unfolding in your life, Capricorn.

A valuable secret that you once knew but then lost is on the verge of resurfacing. Be alert for it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Beginning in 1798, European cartographers who drew maps of West Africa included the Mountains of Kong, a range of peaks that extended more than a thousand miles east and west. It was 90 years before the French explorer Louis Gustave Binger realized that there were no such mountains. All the maps had been wrong, based on faulty information. Binger is known to history as the man who undiscovered the Mountains of Kong. I’m appointing him to be your role model in the coming weeks, Aquarius. May he inspire you to expose long-running delusions, strip away entrenched falsehoods, and restore the simple, shining truths.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In the simplest, calmest of times, there are two sides to every story.

On some occasions, however, the bare minimum is three or more sides. Like now. And that can generate quite a ruckus. Even people who are normally pretty harmonious may slip into conflict.

Fortunately for all concerned, you are currently at the peak of your power to be a unifying force at the hub of the bubbling hubbub.

You can be a weaver who takes threads from each of the tales and spins them into a narrative with which everyone can abide.

I love it when that happens! For now, your emotional intelligence is the key to collaborative creativity and group solidarity.
