SHARE AND SHARE ALIKE Everything I know about economics I learned in fourth grade.

(With apologies to Jim Angresano and Jasper LiCalzi, who taught me political economy at the College of Idaho.

6peciÀcally, I learned it in Tim Hanna’s class at Sagle Elementary School, 1990.

Mr. Hanna, now long retired, was a gruff, lanky, sarcastic guy whose bushy white mustache boasted a big yellow nicotine stain up the middle. I thought he was the greatest.

One of the best parts of Mr. Hanna’s class was that for a portion of the year, he threw out the standard curriculum and converted our classroom into a “mini-society.” He printed money, which we designed; doled it out in equal portions; established a student as the central banker; and told us to form businesses. Being fourth-graders, our businesses were not always creative. Lots of kids sold cookies, while others peddled pencils or erasers. For whatever reason, a few friends and I tapped into a hidden—and never to re-emerge—interest in hair styling; which is to say, we shellacked fellow students’ hair into mohawks and bizarre spikes.

We did a brisk trade, and probably no small amount of damage to everyone’s budding neurons with all that Aquanet. As the money rolled in, one of my partners started buying up desks. As other students went into real estate, speculation drove the value of desks higher and higher. To pay their exorbitant rents, shop owners raised the prices of their pencils and cookies. Kids turned into loan sharks and we had to print more money, further inÁating the currency. Thankfully, we didn’t have a stock exchange.

That experience might have something to do with why all my public policy essays in college were stridently Marxist-Leninist— seriously, every single one. (Ask LiCalzi if you don’t believe me.)

Of course, a lot of people are leery of the American-style market economy these days. More people are opting to take part in what economists have taken to calling the “sharing economy,” which is pretty much what it sounds like. Whether it, too, will descend into chaos remains to be seen. In the meantime, read Jessica Murri’s piece on the sharing economy in Boise on Page 9.

And speaking of sharing, let us know what you think of our new look. Email editor@boiseweekly.com.

AWFULLY IFFY

The hemorrhoid in Idaho governance BILL COPE It’s rare that I answer criticisms of my columns. I am committed to the principle that every side of an argument should have its moment in the sun, no matter how wrong, malicious or stupid it is.

Secondly, I don’t see most of those criticisms anyway, as I quit reading the comment feature accompanying my stuff at least Àve years ago. Call it narrow-minded if you want, which I have little doubt many of you will—though I’ll never be sure, since I won’t be reading what you have to say, anyway. Frankly, the real reason I quit was because it was simply too disturbing to think there are so many maladjusted, obsessive creeps out there who seem to have nothing better to do with themselves than compulsively gag up opinions no one asked them for, even though most of them are too cowardly to use their real names. It was like looking down and Ànding you are standing in a puddle of cockroaches and bile. Ugh. However, a letter to the editor appeared in Boise Weekly three weeks ago that I am compelled to answer, not because it was such a typical misleading smudge of anti-Obama glop—which it was—but because it came from a man who billed himself as the vice president of the Idaho Freedom Foundation. If you have been following the history of that particular sump of right-wing sophistry, you will know that since its inception, the IFF has refused to divulge where the money to keep its toilets Áushing comes from, but it is widely suspected to be in truth nothing but a minor provincial hemorrhoid sprouting from the larger asshole that goes by the name American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), which in turn has sprung from the mother-of-all-assholes, the Koch brothers—who, if you don’t have your heads completely buried in your own assholes, you will recognize as the men who are trying so desperately to buy the United States of America and turn it into a gated plutocratic sandbox.

It is also widely suspected that much of what has transpired recently within that den of dullards we call a state Legislature has been delivered into the dullards’ paws by ALEC, using the IFF as the delivery boys.

That is the context from which Mr. Birnbaum writes, criticizing me for criticizing harpies (like himself) whose jobs and futures depend on making President Obama look like the worst threat to America since Áuoridation (BW, Opinion, “Executive Ordure,” Aug. 20, 2014). He starts by taking a petulant dig at my writing, insisting it took me “eight times longer than it needed to be” to say that, as presidential orders go, Obama is a miser.

Now, literary criticism from a PR shill for a dumb ideas mill doesn’t bother me much, though BOI S EW EEKLY.COM

I might remind Mr. Birnbaum that I am writing a regular column here, not press releases or talking points for empty-headed Canyon County legislators. I have something of an obligation to express my opinions as entertainingly as possible, which is a concept the Idaho Freedom Foundation monkeys might have trouble comprehending, as most of what they must communicate is hidden from the public view.

The main thrust of Birnbaum’s attack was that I missed the point that Obama’s actions are so much more awful than any other president’s orders—which, incidentally, have been controversial from the birth of presidential orders. He decries my “side-stepping” the issue that this president has declared he would “go around Congress if he does not get what he wants,” and uses as his one and only example Obama’s threat of immigration reform by executive order.

Aside from the fact that Obama’s threat has yet, if ever, to materialize, it would still stand in relative insigniÀcance next to executive orders by past presidents, both Republican and Democrat.

How imperial, for instance, is anything Obama’s done or intends to do compared to Abe Lincoln’s executive order that launched the Civil War" How about Truman using presidential power to desegregate the military in 1948, or Eisenhower doing the same in the following decade to desegregate public schools" And don’t tell me that either one of those actions didn’t have as much disapproval as anything our current president has done—and no doubt from the same sort of racist buffoons as infest the current Congress.

Or tell me that Reagan using executive orders to strip regulatory functions from government on matters of wage and price controls, just hours after his inauguration, made everyone in Congress happy, especially since we could use that date as the day the middle class was sentenced to die.

Then there’s FDR’s order to intern JapaneseAmericans (194 ), Nixon’s order establishing the EPA (19 0) and Bush’s secret order for the National Security Agency to monitor citizens’ phone calls without a warrant ( 00 ).

And bear in mind, not one of these other presidents were burdened with congressional leaders from the opposing party who vowed from day one of the Obama administration to thwart every move he made.

So, Mister Vice President of the Idaho Freedom Foundation, your criticism is as empty as your title. And I am anticipating the day Idahoans look down to the IFF and see it for what it is—just another puddle of cockroaches and bile. Ugh. BOISEweekly | OCTOBER 8–14, 2014 | 5

GO EAST, YOUNG MAN Harvard’s anthropological admit JOHN REMBER September 1969: I got on a plane in Boise and 12 hours later stepped off the MTA at Harvard Square. I’d transferred to Harvard from the College of Idaho—one of 25 transfer students Harvard admitted that year, out of 1,200 applicants.

I had beaten the odds with my application essay, which revealed I’d been the only one in the Àrst grade in the Stanley elementary school.

It gave grim details about helping my father trap and skin beaver and coyotes, and about catching salmon in the river behind our house, and killing a deer every fall since I was 10. It described building log fences, picking rock and chainsawing trees.

It explained I’d harnessed horses to a plow and dynamited boulders during high-school summers when my father built trails in the Sawtooths.

I was admitted as an anthropological specimen. My skills, such as they were, hadn’t been seen at Harvard for a hundred years, if ever.

Three years later, Harvard mailed my diploma to me. I’d missed graduation. I was working in Idaho, trying to pay off the $1,200 remaining on my college loans, which hung over me like a sword. One of the family legacies I brought to Harvard was a horror of debt, which has served me as well as anything I learned in its classes.

I made it through those classes without learning as much as I should have. I had attended Louie Attebery’s writing and literature classes at the College of Idaho, and as a result, found myself a better writer than most of my Harvard classmates. Reading through the American literature canon was pure recreation for me, even if writing a 20-page paper the night before it was due was not. But my papers read well, even when mediocre in conception and low in content. Good writing covered a multitude of sins, as far as my professors were concerned. I got A-minuses.

Grading was not the only arena where Harvard lacked moral authority. It was being rocked by demonstrations of students and faculty against the Vietnam War, by an armed takeover of its administrative buildings by militant black students, and by its own eager complicity in the excesses of the Cold War. For decades, Harvard had sent its people into government and intelligence agencies, and they had screwed up big-time. Henry Kissinger was only the latest in a line of evil militaryindustrial geniuses with Harvard diplomas.

The Vietnam War—and the tenured monsters it spawned—wrecked Harvard’s image of itself. It no longer saw itself as the foundry of American character. It no longer thought its education guaranteed wisdom, meaning or salvation.

Its students—sons and daughters of wealthy professionals—had begun to dress like Rus6 | OCTOBER 8–14, 2014 | BOISEWEEKLY

sian factory workers, circa 1917. They occupied buildings and defecated in the corner ofÀces of eminent Harvard administrators. When Harvard’s President Pusey called in the Cambridge cops during a student takeover of University Hall, the resulting broken skulls and bashed ribs revealed a town-gown resentment few administrators had ever noticed. Centuries’ worth of elite sensibility went out the window, along with academic records, donor Àles and delicate unÀnished novels.

I avoided demonstrations and never occupied a building. It wasn’t because I didn’t see the war was a cock-up, but because I didn’t think an Idaho boy’s protests would make any difference.

When the National Guard shot and killed students at Kent State in May 1970, Harvard declared an early summer. During what would have been Ànals week, I was on the shore of Lake Lowell, drinking beer, listening to a garage band play Sympathy for the Devil and telling my freshman roommate that Harvard was more exciting than the C of I. Also, you didn’t have to take Ànals.

Even after I received my Harvard diploma, I had no illusions that I was educated. I had taken classes from brilliant professors, but had wandered all over the catalog, following whim and impulse or simply looking for a few good books to read. My education didn’t land me a high-paying East Coast job, not that I had looked for one.

I had decided to stay in Idaho and spend my 20s and 0s Àlling in the gaps in my knowledge.

It took longer than that. I’m still Àlling gaps, and I’m still in Idaho. Both good things, I’ve realized. I was lucky to attend Harvard when it lacked the self-conÀdence to know what was best for me or to think it could deliver it. When institutions think they have a lock on the truth, the human part of human beings gets destroyed, no matter how benign those institutions pretend to be.

I’ve been back once. Decades after my missed graduation, I again got off the subway at Harvard Square. Harvard looked the same, but its moment of doubt and pain was over. In its place was a cheerful institutional complacency, augmented by a burgeoning endowment, amnesia concerning the Vietnam War and the conÀdent anticipation of hundreds of thousands of focused, obedient and high-achieving applicants—few of them of any interest to the Anthropology Department.

Harvard Square itself was different. There were people standing around, looking a little insecure, a little homesick and like they had a lot to learn. I realized they were Harvard students seen from the outside. The people hadn’t changed— my perspective on them had. I hoped those kids wouldn’t believe everything they were told.

JUMPING THE CURB

NEWS

How sidewalk-riding cyclists are changing the Boise bike lane debate

Reps. Lawerence Denney and Holli Woodings

A CLEAR CHOICE: THE RACE FOR SECRETARY OF STATE

HARRISON BERRY Some pulled pork diplomacy was in play Sept.

24, when the Boise City Council and Ada County Highway District got together for a rare joint session. Members of the organizations—which have clashed in the past over parking meter sensors, the locations of roundabouts, even the existence of ACHD—gathered around picnic-style tables in the Council chambers to pave the way toward consensus over bike lanes on Capitol Boulevard, their latest and perhaps most heated controversy.

At the Sept. 24 session, ACHD commissioners watched as the Council voted unanimously to recommend the highway district make vehicle lanes narrower in an effort to slow trafÀc on the thoroughfare.

The suggestion came from a survey of stakeholders, but ACHD Board Member Sarah Baker had something else on her mind: She pointed to what she said was a growing number of complaints over bicyclists riding on sidewalks rather than in bike lanes.

“What we got out of those comments is the unpredictability of bike riders.” Baker said.

Things quickly soured. The following day, ACHD commissioners rejected the proposal, saying that general trafÀc lanes along Capitol Boulevard need to be at least 11 feet wide—not 10 feet wide, as called for by the proposal.

Baker’s comments further fueled the debate over infrastructure between cyclists and motorists, and even cyclist pedestrians. In the absence of designated lanes, bikers have carved out space for themselves on open streets and, with greater regularity, sidewalks.

“I think [tension between bikers and pedestrians] is a little unspoken,” passerby Marie Stender told Boise Weekly while walking down Eighth Street near a freshly painted bike lane. Stender said she has had a number of close calls with cyclists and one stuck out in her mind.

“Whenever I’m walking I don’t assume I have to look out for cyclists,” she said. ”But yeah, I was coming around a corner; I nearly knock him over, he almost knocks me over.”

For bike commuter Kyle Bates, who was cycling down an Idaho Street sidewalk, rolling among pedestrians is a last resort when vehicle trafÀc edges him out of the road. Bates works on Eighth Street but lives in Garden City, and BOI S EW EEKLY.COM

UNDA’ THE ROTUNDA

It’s not uncommon to see cyclists choose sidewalk over street in Boise’s downtown core.

his commute can take anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes one-way. Most of his ride is on the Greenbelt, but when he reaches downtown, he said he has to juggle between the rules of riding in the street and riding on the sidewalk.

“When I am off the Greenbelt, most of [my ride’s] on the road,” said Bates. “A lot of people, when they’re taking left turns onto one-ways— they don’t look.”

If Bates represents the group of cyclists who use sidewalks as a respite from car trafÀc, Jimmy John’s delivery cyclists represent a more aggressive rider. At Jimmy John’s, going “damned fast”—to quote the company’s website—is part of the job. Their red and black jerseys signify them to pedestrians, but they’re not always visible to motorists, and at least one JJ’s rider said his job would be safer if bike lanes were installed.

“We’d have a designated lane and people would know where to look for us,” said JJ’s rider Robert Sneider.

JJ’s delivery riders are often seen speeding through Boise’s downtown core, keeping pace with trafÀc and making sharp, daredevil turns.

Many of them have reported near-misses with vehicles, and every rider is required to wear knee and elbow pads, as well as a helmet. During the bike lane pilot project this past spring, some JJ’s riders said the lanes were a boon to slower riders, but for cyclists moving at 15-20 mph, the lanes were unsafe because bicyclists were more difÀcult to see.

“For us, [the bike lanes] are questionable.

I think for slower bikers with kids, it’s good because it does provide some protection. But for us, I think it’s deÀnitely not a good idea,” JJ’s rider Tim Cornell told BW in May. “For any road cyclist going more than 15 mph, there’s a real risk of getting hit by cars turning across the bike lane.

The cars can’t even see you half the time, and that’s if they’re looking.”

So far, stories of cyclist-on-pedestrian acci-

dents have Áown under the Boise Police Department’s radar, since affected parties rarely make ofÀcial complaints. Tom Shuler, of the BPD Bike Patrol, told BW that pedestrians rarely call in ofÀcial complaints against cyclists, and he has never handed out a ticket for violating the city’s Riding on Sidewalks and Crosswalks ordinance.

“I can’t remember when I’ve ever been contacted. Once in a while when I’m downtown and I see someone riding next to people coming out of a building, I’ll stop them,” he said. “It’s not something we have a lot of issues with.”

Rather than handing out tickets, Shuler said BPD’s bike patrol engages in community education, explaining the law and courtesy of mixeduse city sidewalks. Sidewalk riders must yield to pedestrians and give audible warnings when passing. On the sidewalk, cyclists count as pedestrians, though when riding in the road, bicycles count as vehicles. Additionally, bicyclists may not leave the sidewalk or curb and enter trafÀc if doing so creates a hazard.

For the most part, Shuler said the bike patrol tells people to slow down around pedestrians and choose routes through town that minimize danger to themselves and others.

“Everybody’s comfort level is different,” he said, “but if you’re not comfortable riding next to trafÀc, you’re on the sidewalk. If there’s no bike lane, you’d probably want to ride on the sidewalk.”

Cyclists are trapped between the rules of the road and those of the sidewalk, and will stay that way for the foreseeable future: Since ACHD didn’t take up the Boise City Council’s plea to reconsider the original proposal from the bike lane stakeholder group, the issue hasn’t appeared on either group’s meeting agenda. The engineers who designed the bike lane plan that would connect Boise State and City Hall have returned to the drawing board, and it’s unclear when they’ll return.

In a substantive 60-minute debate Oct. 6, the two people vying to become Idaho’s next secretary of state made it crystal clear that no other race on this year’s ballot offers such an authentic difference in candidates.

“Neither of you is qualified to be the Idaho secretary of state,” quipped moderator Jim Weatherby. “You’re not Basque.”

The line got a good laugh, noting the grip on the office from current SOS Ben Ysursa and successor Pete Cenarrusa.

Democratic candidate and Idaho House Rep. Holli Woodings adeptly and repeatedly referred to Ysursa’s and Cenarrusa’s integrity as a model for her own presumptive tenure.

Meanwhile, GOP challenger Idaho House Rep. Lawerence Denney repeatedly called himself a farmer, miner, logger and businessman.

But Denney’s political career defines him most—he’s a 10-term member of the Idaho House and three-term speaker of the House, which he also reminded the audience.

But it was Woodings who added that Denney was ousted from his speakership in 2012, in large part, Woodings said, “because he showed a lot of partisanship.”

The widest ideological gap between the two emerged as they debated Idaho’s electoral process, the chief responsibility of the Idaho secretary of state. In particular, Denney and Woodings wildly disagreed when weighing in on the closed Republican primary.

“That’s a misnomer. The primary is not an election; it’s a nomination process,” said Denney. “In fact, I think the primary shouldn’t even be run by the state government. It should be run by the political parties.”

Denney said political parties not private funds should fund the primaries.

Woodings pounced fast.

“I’ll oppose any effort of putting artificial barriers between voters and the ballot.”

With that, Woodings aligned herself with Ysursa, who publicly challenged his own GOP for closing its primary. When an audience member asked Denney where independents would go to participate in a primary election, Denney delivered a startling response: “You shouldn’t even be wanting to select from Republicans if you’re not a Republican.”

Woodings pounced again.

“I think we should respect that Idahoans are independent,” she said.

DOUGLAS BRINKLEY

Bestselling author talks about '\ODQ &URQNLWH 1L[RQ DQG FDR’s Christmas trees GEORGE PRENTICE It is not hyperbole to say that Douglas Brinkley is one of the best historians of our time.

Similar to Stephen Ambrose (a frequent collaborator) and Doris Kearns Goodwin, Brinkley has chronicled the American experience through dozens of bestsellers examining the Cold War, Vietnam and Hurricane Katrina, while crafting deÀnitive biographies of Rosa Parks, Richard Nixon and Walter Cronkite.

Brinkley will keynote the 31st annual Frank Church Conference at Boise State University on Sunday, Oct. 19, which this year focuses on the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act, sponsored by the late U.S. Sen. Frank Church.

In anticipation of his visit, Boise Weekly talked to Brinkley about Church, his passion for United States history and his particular love for Idaho, something he shares with Church and his latest project, Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

It’s our understanding that you’ve been spending a lot of time in national parks lately.

I’m working on a book that I’m going to call Rightful Heritage: Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Crusade for America. I’m focusing on the national parks of the FDR era: the Great Smoky Mountains, the Everglades, Joshua Tree, Kings Canyon. Plus, I’ll have an entire chapter on FDR’s visit to Idaho [in 1937].

8 | OCTOBER 8–14, 2014 | BOISEWEEKLY

What can you tell an Idahoan who has only passing knowledge of FDR’s visit?

Did you know that he was a forester? On any register, he used to love to list his profession as tree-grower or forester. He would grow trees at his home in Hyde Park [New York] and in Warm Springs, Ga. During World War II, all of Winston Churchill’s Christmas trees would come from FDR’s farm. He came through Idaho to inspect the forests. He loved the state because they voted for him. The Àrst Civilian Conservation Corps really took hold in Idaho. He then went to Boise and gave a very famous speech where he said there was nothing in America he loved more than the children of Idaho and the amazing amount of forestry work that was being accomplished. It became a state very dear and near to his heart.

And that naturally connects us to another famous Idaho Democrat: Frank Church.

In a way, the outlook of life from Frank Church was very similar to FDR: a Democratic liberal who loved old-fashioned values, yet be hawkish on foreign policy and want government to be run efÀciently.

Where does your passion for history stem from?

My mother and father were high-school teachers. We had a station wagon with a 24-foot Coachman trailer and we went all over America to visit historic sights: Harry Truman’s Missouri, Willa Cather’s Nebraska, John Steinbeck’s California and Martin Luther King’s Georgia. My sister always wanted to go to the beach or Disneyland. But I became a junkie for historical sites.

Do you have equal passion for teaching and writing?

Teaching is in my DNA. I’m at Rice University, where I teach civil rights history, the Cold War, presidential history and environmental history, which I’m writing about a great deal lately. I know that’s a big topic in Idaho and without pandering, I have to tell you that Idaho is the most beautiful of the lower 48.

There’s great land stewardship in Idaho.

Right now, we’re engaged in a pretty uid debate where a good many Republican leaders at the Idaho Statehouse are advocating for a state takeover of federal lands.

It’s a very bad idea. This is an historical issue. Look at the Dust Bowl, caused by stockmen overgrazing of public lands in the 1920s.

The entire West was a nightmare. It was the federal government that came in and began to properly run soil conservation programs,

the civilian conservation corps and replanting.

FDR saw to it that 3 billion new trees were planted. Also, rivers don’t have borders. Migratory birds or animals don’t belong to a particular state. I would tell the people of Idaho to be proud of the system they’ve built. Idaho has become the capital of wilderness that works.

The state should be proud of that instead of trying to unravel it.

You penned a very successful 2012 biography of Walter Cronkite. What might you tell someone in their 20s who didn’t have Cronkite in their day-to-day lives like so many of us did?

I’m thinking that if I hadn’t written a biography about Cronkite that he may have gotten lost in history. His power was immense and will never be replicated. In an era when people weren’t trusting Lyndon Johnson or [U.S. Secretary of Defense] Robert McNamara, by default people trusted Cronkite. His tag was the most trusted man in America, and hence his inà uence was large.

And your most recent bestseller revisited the infamous [Richard] Nixon tapes from the height of the Watergate scandal. How might you reconcile the vulgar Nixon as the same man who gave us the Environmental Protection Agency and the Endangered Species Act? In the end, Nixon was a diabolical pragmatist. Keep in mind, he was also pro-afÀrmative action. Like you mentioned, he created the EPA and ESA because the public was clamoring to clean up our waterways and save wildlife.

But Watergate destroyed him. You use the word vulgar and indeed the tapes didn’t help his legacy because there so many ugly moments.

Do you have a wish list of topics that you still want to tackle?

Right now, I’m focused on my book on FDR, which will come out in 2016. But I want to write something on the Silent Spring revolution that deals with the environmental movement of the ’60s and ’70s. I’m a presidential historian, but I like music a lot.

I would be remiss if I didn’t point to your now-famous 2009 Bob Dylan interview for Rolling Stone.

He’s of huge interest to me. I would love to write a full book on him. I’ve been very luck to talk to some amazing people. [Brinkley has DOVR SURÀOHG .XUW 9RQQHJXW 1RUPDQ 0DLOHU +XQWHU 6 7KRPSVRQ DQG .HQ .HVH\]. I was Rosa Parks’ biographer; and I did the ofÀcial oral history of Neil Armstrong. As we’re getting closer to the 50th anniversary of the Àrst moon landing, I think something might be in the making.

UND

LANDMARK SETTLEMENT: $1.6M FOR COMMUNITY HOUSE Howard Belodoff took a long breath.

“Well, it’s settled,” he told Boise Weekly.

Is it ever. The city of Boise will soon be cutting a check for more than $1.6 million to Community House, Inc., settling a neardecadelong lawsuit and ending a controversy over how the city chooses to serve its homeless.

“The city basically took everything they had,” said Belodoff, the legal eagle extraordinaire who founded Idaho legal Aid and represented Community House in court.

The suit dates all the way back to the 1990s, when the city of Boise owned Community House, the homeless center now known as the River of Life at 13th and River streets. The city turned to Community House Inc. to run the shelter, but in 2004, the city changed its mind, promptly evicted women and children from the facility, and turned over the keys to the Boise Rescue Mission, which turned the shelter into a men-only facility.

A lawsuit followed, which ended in 2012, when a jury ordered the city to pay $1 million to Community House, which had since shrunk to a much smaller organization, operating a Boise duplex for homeless families. The city was also ordered to pay Community House’s substantial legal fees.

Though the city first indicated that it was appealing the matter, the settlement was quietly crafted and signed by Belodoff and Boise Mayor Dave Bieter prior to approval from the Boise City Council.

“Sometimes you have to wait, wait and wait,” said Belodoff, who took another long pause. “And wait and wait. It’s not my longest suit by any means, but you can say it was worth the wait.”

As for Community House, Belodoff told BW that the organization can only now start putting together plans for what to do with the money.

“They still want to fulfill the purposes of Community House, which was to provide for the critical need of housing for women, children and families,” he said. “I’m guessing in the next month or so, they’ll decide what to do with the money.”

UBER AND ABOVE Cashing in on choice, change and creativity STORY AND PHOTOS BY JESSICA MURRI There is a dot named Danny on the map on my iPhone. The dot is shaped like a car, and as Danny drives, the little car gets closer to my house.

The dot turns onto my street and I look out the window to see a white Hyundai Sonata, driven

by Danny Warn, pull up to my house. I decide between sitting in the front seat or the back, and pick the back. I slide into the beige interior, struck by how clean the car is. Though Warn has a pickup and a Harley, this is his main vehicle— but it doesn’t feel lived in. His car doesn’t have a meter on the dashboard, nor does it display any type of license. It’s just Warn and his smartphone.

I have never met Warn before, but he’s taking me to work. That’s his job, but he’s not a taxi driver— Warn found a way to turn his new-ish sedan into a paycheck after seven weeks without a job.

“The job I had in IT was outsourced to Lithuania,” he tells me as we turn onto 27th Street.

“Right now I’m just kind of desperate for some employment.”

As he navigates the construction uprooting downtown Boise and I ask him questions, Warn and I are partaking in the same thing thousands of other drivers and riders are doing in more than 40 countries and 200 cities. He’s an Uber driver, working for an app-powered car service, and as his passenger, I am Ubering. It’s an opportunity for folks to make money off their own possessions, and a chance for consumers to get a more personal connection tied to their cash.

In the long tail of turmoil following the Great Recession, a combination of technology and frustration is driving the rise of unconventional economic models—from cars on the road, to bartering pages on Craigslist, to a unique coffee shop in Eagle, consumers are faced with choices that go beyond swiping their credit card and walking away.

A PARADIGM SHIFT Thursday, Oct. 2, marked the Boise launch of ride-share company Uber. For the Àrst time, Boiseans could download the free application on their smartphones, enter credit card information, pick a destination and digitally hail an Uber driver to pick them up.

Uber drivers—the company calls them “partners”—aren’t piloting taxi cabs though. They’re driving their own personal cars. They aren’t licensed through the city, either. Rather, they’ve signed onto the mobile platform, undergone a background and driving records check through the company, and subjected their cars to a 19-point inspection. Cars must have four doors and can’t be older than 2005. A driving infraction like a DUI in the past seven years ends a driver’s career with Uber before it begins.

Since its worldwide rollout in 2012, the SanFrancisco based company has been a phenomenal success. Valued at more than $18 billion as of Oct. 3, Uber offers drivers Áexibility and the chance to make money off of their own vehicles.

It also gives consumers a faster, cheaper and more personal experience than with traditional taxi services. Uber’s slogan: “Everyone’s private driver.”

Those factors combine to make Uber a symbol of what economists are calling the Sharing Economy: a system in which the relationship between consumers and providers is more collaborative than purely market driven.

Samia Islam, who has taught for 10 years at the College of Business and Economics at Boise State University, teaches classes on urban economics and the economics of happiness. She’s been following this new economic model of sharing for years, and calls it a “paradigm shift.”

“Ten years ago, you would have never gotten

into a car because of what an online review said,” she told Boise Weekly. But a lot of things have happened to warm consumers up to the idea of riding in a car with a complete stranger without a “TAXI” light overhead.

It started with the sharing of information.

Programmers shared code, then Napster shared music, then YouTube and Wikipedia shared content. Through the rise of social media, people have gotten comfortable sharing everything from their interests and preferences, to the daily minutia of their lives. Now, we’re sharing each other’s time, expertise, bikes, cars, even homes.

Basing an economy on disclosure and sharing is tricky to regulate, and leaves cities, states and insurance agencies scratching their heads when conÁicts arise.

Boise Weekly readers have heard about Uber before (BW, News, “Where the Uber Meets the Road,” June 11, 2014), when the car service started eyeing Boise earlier this summer. With drivers signing on in places ranging from Los Angeles; New York; and San Francisco; to Paris; Mexico City; and Johannesburg, South Africa, controversy has followed close behind.

Uber has drawn criticism for multiple incidents in which drivers have been accused of kidnapping intoxicated women; committing sexual assault, rape, verbal abuse and battery; and refusing service to the disabled. Uber has been faced with more than a dozen lawsuits, including one stemming from a New Year’s Eve incident in San Francisco, where a driver failed to yield to pedestrians in a crosswalk, hitting a mother and her son, and killing her 6-year-old daughter. Uber claimed it bears no responsibility because the driver was not carrying a passenger, 10 nor using the app at the time.

BOISEWEEKLY | OCTOBER 8–14, 2014 | 9

The service has been banned in Portland, Ore., and discouraged in St. Louis 9 and Kansas City, Mo., and San Antonio and Austin, Texas. Campaigns such as “Who’s Driving You?” launched by the Taxicab, Limousine & Paratransit Association, warn people against downloading the app.

In Spokane, Wash., where Uber launched in May, the city has found itself embroiled in a regulatory tussle between ride-sharing companies and taxi providers. There, on Sept. 29, Spokane City Council members voted to strike a compromise: HOW TO HIRE A CAR WITH THE FLICK OF A FINGER. Uber and similar service Lyft will be able to operate for nine months, until a permanent regulatory structure can be crafted, and must pay 10 cents per ride to the city. According to the 3DFLÀF 1RUWKwest Inlander, both companies will be held to strict vehicle and background checks, and are barred from soliciting rides or stopping for passengers hailing a cab on the street. Meanwhile, to placate taxi companies, rules were loosened making it easier to hire drivers and get inspections.

The city of Boise hasn’t been particularly worried about Uber operating in the city limits, however. In June, Deputy City Clerk Jamie Heinzerling told BW she hopes the company would work with the city “to run a legitimate business.”

Uber spokesman Michael Amodeo Áew from UBER’S MICHAEL AMODEO SPREADS THE WORD. Los Angeles to Boise last week to prove Uber is doing just that. Amodeo sat down with BW to explain the ride-share service, saying the company decided to launch in Boise after thousands of people downloaded the app, “only to Ànd when they opened it, there were no cars on the road.”

Uber hosted a launch party Oct. 2 at Bittercreek Ale House, where Amodeo stood in tight khaki slacks, a Àtted black button-down shirt and sharp black-framed glasses. He handed out sunglasses and croakies and iPhone 5 cases, all bearing the word UBER stamped in simple, white lettering. At the party, attended by about 40 people, he was surrounded by folks holding out their smartphones.

Andrade said. “Because I was scared. I had the huge potential to fail.”

The more she thought about it, the more determined she became, so she wiped her menu board clean of prices three months ago. No prices at all. Not even a suggested price.

“It takes people really thinking about what they’re doing, where they’re spending their money, and how much they believe it’s really worth,” Andrade said.

That’s a bigger task than she expected. In fact, many of Andrade’s customers don’t like it.

“I hear all the time, ‘Oh, that’s a lot of pressure,’” she said. “Is it? Why do people feel so much pressure from this?”

Andrade said she’s lost customers who feel confused and uncomfortable by the donation system.

“It’s still a constant conversation,” she said.

Her customers ask her when she’ll be Ànished with her “social experiment.” One told her that she’ll “never change the world.” Other customers worry she’ll run herself out of business, though she said she’ll throw prices back up on the menu board before it comes to that.

10 He said Uber drivers come from all different walks of life, from stay-at-home moms waiting for their kids to come home, to school teachers making some extra money after the bell rings, to college students making ends meet, to retired military veterans supplementing their Social Security.

Islam agreed that the poor job market is pushing people to get creative when it comes to earning extra income.

“The recessionary pressures, the job losses, the high unemployment, it had a lot to do with why people were actually trying to use their resources, the underutilized stuff they had laying around,” she said. “That kind of innovation happened to an extent because people are trying to Àgure out how to make a living and survive and ride out the recession.”

thought about it the whole time she sipped her coffee. The woman later went back to the counter and added a few more dollars to the purchase.

“She told me she had all these questions running through her mind about what it was really worth to her to have this coffee shop here. I thought that was amazing,” Andrade said.

Some are drawn to the unstructured payment system, like Lori and Robert Grubb. The couple has been coming to the coffee shop since before the priceless system went into effect.

“We actually came on the Àrst day of the new payment system,” Robert said. “It was kind of crazy walking in and reading the menu and saying, ‘What’s going on?’”

Robert paid $6 for his sandwich, Àguring that’s what it would cost at other places. The couple agreed that if restaurants didn’t list prices for their products, they’d be clueless about how much these items would cost.

The Àrst few months have been rough on the shop, and And Andrade didn’t break even, “which was really disappointing and discouraging. Last Monday, I was ready to be like, ‘I can’t keep doing this.’”

She decided to give it a full quarter and hopes September sales Àgures penciled out.

SHARED, BOUGHT AND TRADED Uber driver Danny Warn said he gave nine rides in four hours on his Àrst evening of driving, Oct. 2. That would be a busy stretch for even a seasoned cabbie, but, of course, it was Warn’s Àrst time ferrying strangers from point A to point B. Driving me to work on Oct. 3, he looked at the Uber app on his phone, using the map to guide him to BW HQ. He mumbled about it giving advance warning on when to turn, or taking construction into consideration. His car idled in Main Street trafÀc for several minutes, where the Grove is under construction.

Warn is driving more than his vehicle when using the Uber app. He’s driving the shift from an impersonal economy, to an economy that he can beneÀt from.

Examples of these types of transactions are springing up all over Boise, from apps like Uber and Airbnb, to Andrade’s pay-what-you-choose model. On the Boise Craigslist Barter page, opportunities abound for turning tattoos into electronics, lawnmowers into Xboxes, carpentry labor into antique cars.

Consumers are gravitating to these less straightforward methods of obtaining goods and services for a multitude of reasons. It comes from having an economy in transition. It comes from living in a world where social media makes us more open with strangers. It comes from consumers wanting connection—a personal, one-on-one experience.

Once Warn pulled up to the curb at my ofÀce, I thanked him and without directly exchanging any money (the ride from the north end to downtown was around $9) and jumped out. He took off, ready for his cellphone to ping him again, when he would become someone else’s “private driver.”

There are other perks to having such fine neighbors, and one of them is coming up Saturday, Oct. 11, noon-8 p.m., when BB will take over Broad Street between Fifth and Sixth streets and fill it with the P. Ditty Wrap Wagon, Mosaic World Crepes, the exotic octopus dumplings of Genki Takoyaki and, of course, beer from breweries including Woodland Empire Ale Craft, 10 Barrel, Highlands Hollow, Sockeye Brewing, Crooked Fence, EDGE Brewing Company, Payette Brewing Co. and more.

Radio Boise DJs will spin tunes.

It’s the best way to get us near the office on a weekend.

12-8 p.m., $20 adv., $25, Boise Brewing, 521 W. Broad St., 208-342-7655, boisebrewing.com.

Balihoo is a local high-tech software company specializing in marketing automation; Family Advocates is a local nonprofit providing assistance to families and children. The two organizations don’t seem a natural fit, but neither do a post-apocalyptic future, the Wild West, the Industrial Revolution and the Victorian era, yet those are all elements of steampunk fiction and fashion, and all three combined—Balihoo, Family Advocates and steampunk— give us the second annual Steampact Gala. The event, hosted

by Balihoo and benefiting Family Advocates, is a night of games, auctions, music and entertainment; as well as foodtrucks, drink specials and a steampunk costume contest—visit thesteampunkdistrict.com for ideas.

7 p.m. $25. Crooked Flats, 3705 Idaho Hwy. 16, Eagle, 208258-6882.

Less palatable is the hunger that’s still pervasive in the Treasure Valley, which A Chef’s Affaire was established to help alleviate.In a fit of nostalgia for the golden age of hairspray, denim jackets and John Hughes films, the theme for this year’s Affaire is the 1980s. Bonus points for rolling up to the Boise Centre, where the Affaire is held, to fight hunger in a Delorean. 6 p.m. $100. Boise Centre, 850 W. Front St., Boise, 208-336-8900, boisecentre.com.

Step through the door into an artist’s private studio and you will see that artist’s mind at work. It’s an incredible once-a-year opportunity for avid collectors and anyone who is curious about the art-making process.

BOSCO artists are happy to share stories about their work and the unexpected directions their artistic journey has taken them in. Things you might never learn about from a gallery visit or by reading an artist’s biography.

A glance around a studio is enormously informative. You will see what tools the artist reaches for. You may see swatches that have been chosen for a fiber arts project; the latest experimental combination of color and texture; even older work tucked away in a dusty corner.

Most BOSCO artists work in studios located in or close to their homes. Be it in the heart of downtown or around the bend and up the hill, each studio is a bright spot of inspiration and productivity. A thoroughly intriguing place to visit. We look forward to welcoming you to our favorite places, our studios.

After her 2012 debut EP, Portland, Ore.-based Hannah Glavor enlisted her Family Band on a full-time basis and her selfreleased 2013 EP, Halcyon, reveals how well the tight-knit group works. Tender, haunting tracks highlight exceptional harmonizing, illustrating how Glavor can go from full voice to falsetto in the blink of an eye. Banjo and guitar often carry Glavor’s tales across insistent beats, and there’s a whispery quality to her voice that begs the listener to lean in so as not to miss a word. Given the darling band photos at hannahglavormusic.com, there’s something quite sweet about Glavor and her Family Band, but anyone who can harmonize like Glavor shouldn’t be underestimated.

WINESIPPER BEAUJOLAIS MEANS GAMAY

2012 Chateau de Pizay Morgon, $17.99 The Pizay estate in Beaujolais dates back to the 14th century.

The grapes for this wine come from Morgon, one of the 10 classified crus, and were harvested from 45-year-old vines. The nose offers racy cranberry and fresh cherry aromas along with spicy black pepper. Edgy fruit marks the palate, which is backed by gentle earth, light tannins and smooth acidity.

2011 Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais-Villages, $12.99 Duboeuf is arguably the best known name in Beaujolais. This Villages wine is a step down from the classified crus, but a step up from A.O.C. Beaujolais. It’s a crowdpleasing effort with juicy, sweet red fruit aromas colored by a touch of smoke. The fruit-driven palate is filled with a mix of ripe cherry and cranberry flavors that linger nicely. A great bargain.

2011 Henry Fessy Julienas, $17.99 This Brouilly-based Beaujolais domaine dates back to 1888 and holds five acres of vineyards in Julienas. It opens with light cherry blossom aromas and hints of cedar. The most subtle of the three, it shines when paired with a bite of cheese.

Black cherry and plum flavors are balanced by food-friendly acidity. This classified cru should age nicely, given a few years.

FOOD

PATR IC K S W EENEY

Gamay noir à jus blanc is a cross between pinot noir and gouais, a white variety indigenous to Central Europe. It’s the red grape of Beaujolais, the southernmost region of Burgundy. Ripening about two weeks earlier than pinot, gamay is an easier grape to manage and produces a fruit-forward wine with good acid balance—just the thing as we transition into fall. Here are the panel’s top picks:

SOCKEYE TO UNVEIL SECOND PUB Plus Grind Modern Burger and Kind Cuisine Cafe open; West End Food Park closes TARA MORGAN Sockeye Brewing has been busy lately. Not only has the Boise brewery increased production since opening its second brewing location and canning line on Fairview Avenue and Cloverdale Road— jumping from 2,300 barrels in 2012 to 5,177 barrels in 2013 to a projected 9,000 in 2014—but Sockeye is also preparing to open its second brewpub in mid-November.

“The second pub has taken second Àddle to the growth of the brewery,” said Dawn Bolen, Sockeye marketing assistant. “We’ve been putting our investment back into it as we’ve gone.”

Keeping with the bigger-is-better theme, the Sockeye Grill and Brewery on Fairview will have a 372-person capacity, which includes patio seating.

“It’s a big restaurant; it’s very much of a lodge feel,” said Bolen. “We’ve got some really nice old photographs of some of the namesakes of our beers. It’s got a Àreplace and it’s got a fountain.”

As a treat for old-school Boiseans, Sockeye owner Fred Schuerman has refurbished the Trolley Bar, which caught Àre on the Bench in 2006.

“We have a set of train tracks and some trucks that that trolley’s going to sit on here in the spring,” said Bolen. “So that will come back to life out here, which is really cool.”

The Fairview brewpub’s menu will be similar to the Cole Road location’s menu—burgers, sandwiches, wraps and salmon dishes—but there will also be a few new offerings.

“We do have some special equipment here in this kitchen, so I think about 80 percent of it will come from the new menu that we also have at the Cole Road location and then they’ll add a few additional items,” said Bolen.

But Sockeye still isn’t done growing.

“We are adding new tanks and another 13,000-square-foot building that will increase our fermentation space to about 18,000 barrels annually,” said Bolen.

The brewery hopes to have that building Ànished by January 2015, and while plans are to expand distribution into Washington and Utah, it will focus on growth in Idaho.

Hoppy days, Sockeye Brewing is opening a second brewpub, on Fairview Avenue, in mid-November.

“Our goal is really to keep the beer as close to the brewery as possible,” said Bolen. “We want to make sure that it doesn’t go too far from home and sit on any shelves. … A couple other breweries in the state are putting out more barrels than we do, but we sell more in Idaho than any of them at this time. So our goal is to continue to do that … especially in the Northern and Eastern markets, we’re still growing there.”

Speaking of Sockeye, the brewery recently took home a bronze medal for its Power House Porter, which was one of 61 entries in the Brown Porter category at the 2014 Great American Beer Festival. This was Sockeye’s Àrst time attending GABF, which took place Oct. 2-4 in Denver. Victor’s Grand Teton Brewing Company took home silver in the English-Style Summer Ale category for its Ale 208. For a full list of this year’s winners, visit greatamericanbeerfestival.com.

In other brews news, Grind Modern Burger and PostModern Brewers are set to open in the former TableRock space Friday, Oct. 10.

According to its online menu, the spot’s signature burgers—made with a blend of Niman Ranch beef and pork—hover in the $11-$12 range. Choices include the Calexico, with avocado crema, Mexican chorizo, tomato conÀt, serrano relish, onions, queso fresco and a fried egg; and the DMZ, with braised beef short ribs, Saigon sauce and spicy kimchi-style slaw. There’s also the opulent Stockyard, which costs $18 and is made with a blend of ground, dry-aged meats brushed with bourbon barrel-aged Worcestershire, mushroom-garlic butter and chives.

Non-burger offerings include onion petals with buttermilk dill sauce, blistered edamame and shishito peppers, a house-pickled beet salad and ghost chili-dusted Phantom fries with creamy habanero dipping sauce. An array of craft cocktail options include the Fig Fashioned, comprised of

Four Roses bourbon, muddled Àg, brown sugar simple syrup, tangerine peel and orange bitters.

PostModern Brewers, the restaurant’s adjacent craft brewery, will offer a variety of beers—everything from a nut brown ale that pays tribute to TableRock to a dry Irish stout and Berliner Weisse. The brewery is also concocting a hard root beer and a hard ginger ale, both 4 percent ABV, which harken back to the beverages’ mildly alcoholic roots. A number of these brews also make an appearance on Grind’s Beer Cocktails menu, which features drinks like the Brown Betty, made with PostModern’s Nut Brown Ale and Hard Ginger Beer, Rebel Yell bourbon, Southern Comfort, maple syrup and cinnamon.

For more on Grind Modern Burger and PostModern Brewers, visit grindmodernburger.com.

In other opening news, Kind Cuisine Cafe is now serving up vegan and vegetarian fare at 4628 W. State St. in the Collister Shopping Center.

Recent specials have included gluten-free blue corn peach mufÀns and delicata squash stuffed with crimini mushroom and tempeh risotto. Kind Cuisine is open 7 a.m.-6 p.m., Tuesday-Saturday; 7 a.m.-3 p.m. Sunday; and closed on Mondays. For more info, visit facebook.com/kindcuisinecafe.

In closing news, the West End Food Park has shut down only a few months after opening at 2419 W. Fairview Ave. According to the former food truck park’s Facebook page: “Despite everyone’s best efforts the project was out of funds and couldn’t sustain past the end of September.

There just wasn’t enough trafÀc to keep the park open, and food trucks weren’t making a living wage on an average day at the park.”

There’s talk on Facebook of “one last event” where WEFP Kickstarter backers can use their unredeemed coupons, but nothing has been Ànalized. For more info, visit facebook.com/westendfoodpark.

SCREEN JUDGING ROBERT

Robert Downey Jr. and Robert Duvall rule in The Judge GEORGE PRENTICE My nightmare involves being sequestered with a jury of critics. As Groucho Marx once said, “I don’t want to belong to any club that would accept me as a member.” Yet, every September I spend an uneasy amount of time with critics who descend on the Toronto International Film Festival. Listening to someone else’s real-time commentary during a screening is irritating (especially when their opinion is a polar opposite of your own). So it was with the critics’ screening of The Judge, a Àlm I Ànd totally entertaining despite what some of my (shudder) colleagues might say.

SCREEN EXTRA DAMNATION: ARE IDAHO DAMS EVEN USEFUL? Fantasies of dynamite, waterfalls and free-flowing rivers fill the documentary DamNation with the intensity of a summer blockbuster. The film, screening at the Boise State University Student Union Building on BOI S EW EEKLY.COM

Tuesday, Oct. 14, follows the construction of some 75,000 dams in the country, and questions whether they’ve outlived their usefulness.

The documentary, distributed by outdoor clothing company Patagonia, delves into the negative effects of dams, like the impact on salmon migration,

and explores the idea of removing the four dams on the lower Snake River.

Jim Waddell—who helped create the film after working for the Army Corps of Engineers on a study showing the Lower Snake River dams are losing money—will take part in a panel discussion following the screening, as will

Pat Ford, former executive director of Save Our Wild Salmon.

The event is presented by Idaho Rivers United and the Boise State University Geosciences Club. Tickets cost $5 general admission, $1 for students. The film starts at 7 p.m.

Two trends are over taking the universe: kombucha, a sweet-and-sour fermented drink made of tea and SCOBY (symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast), and stations where you can fill up a 64-ounce jug, or “growler,” of craft beer.

These two forces have combined, and now there are several kombucha growler fill stations in convenience stores hummkombucha.com around the Treasure Valley, including Fast Eddy’s stores on Ten Mile Road, Ustick Road and the one on the corner of Locust Grove and Overland roads, as well as the Beacon Light Chevron near Highway 55.

Just like beer, the kombucha, made by Bend, Ore.based Humm Kombucha, comes in a keg. Pull on the tap, and you can fill 32-ounce ($5.99) or 64-ounce ($9.99) growlers to-go.

Humm Kombucha decided to begin distributing its product in kegs as well as bottles in an effor t to be more environmentally-conscience, said Humm’s Tim Stanton.

“Plus, ever ything just tastes better off of draft,” Stanton said.

The Beacon Light Chevron currently has blueberry-mint and pomegranate-lemonade kombucha on tap, but will soon add chai and lemon ginger.

Although the kombucha is a popular item, it can’t—and may never—overtake beer.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Situation No. 1: If you meet resistance or doubt, say: “Ha! This diversion can’t slow me down, because I am in possession of an invisible magical sword!” Then take a few charismatic swipes of your sword to prove you mean business. Situation No. 2: If angst and worry are preventing your allies from syncing their assets with yours, say: “Begone, dread! For with the power of my wicked crazy songs, I am the destroyer of fear.” Then sing your songs. Situation No. 3: If you’re finding it hard to discern the difference between useless, ugly monsters and useful, beautiful monsters, say: “I am a useful, beautiful monster!” Your kind will flock to your side.

MARKETS

CAREERS

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In her poem “Advice to Myself,” Louise Erdrich speaks of the human heart as “that place you don’t even think of cleaning out.

That closet stuffed with savage mementos.” Use her observations as a prod, Taurus. Now is an excellent time to purge the savage mementos from your heart, and clean the place up as best as you can. There’s no need to scour and scrub until everything’s spotless. Even a halfhearted effort will set in motion promising trends in your love life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I hope you will learn more in the next eight months than you have ever learned in a comparable period. I hope you will make a list of the subjects you would love to study and the skills you would love to master, then devise a plan to gather the experiences with which you will reinvent yourself. I hope you will turn on your curiosity and go in quest of revelations, insights and epiphanies, smashing through the limits of your understanding as you explore the frontiers of sweet knowledge.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Three times a week, I take a hike along a rock-strewn path through a forest. If I don’t survey the ground as I move, I’m constantly turning my ankles. That was the case until last week. For two days I cleared many of those bothersome obstacles off the trail.

It took several hours, but now the way is smoother. My eyes are free to enjoy the sights that aren’t so close to the ground. I recommend you do similar work.

Stop tolerating inconveniences that hobble you. Get your foundations in shape.

30 | OCTOBER 8–14, 2014 | BOISEWEEKLY

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): American author Edgar Allan Poe (18091849) was ahead of his time. He created the detective story and mastered the art of Gothic horror tales. According to the Internet Movie Database, 240 films have referenced themes from his work. British writer Aldous Huxley wasn’t a fan of Poe, though. He said Poe was “too poetical—the equivalent of wearing a diamond ring on every finger.” Judging from the astrological omens, I suspect you may be at risk of lapsing into a diamond-ring-on-every-finger phase, Leo. While I’m in favor of you unveiling more of your beauty, I’m hoping you won’t go too far.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): On a Japanese game show, 13 people had slabs of meat tied to their foreheads. They then poked their heads through holes in the floor of a platform, where a hungry lizard was stalking.

None of the contestants stuck around when the lizard came to nibble the meat. That was probably wise, but it meant the prize went unclaimed. I suspect there’s a chance you’d will yourself to stand as the lizard feasted on the meat just inches from your eyes.

As much as I admire that kind of courage, there are better ways to express it. Be on the lookout for challenges that are worthy of you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Republican Jody Hice is running for the U.S. House of Representatives in Georgia’s 10th Congressional District. To bolster his authority, he repeats quotes by figures from American history. One of his favorites has been a gem from sixth U.S. President John Quincy Adams: “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” The problem: Those words were written by country singer Dolly Parton. Don’t get fooled by a comparable case of mistaken identity. Be on the alert for unwarranted substitutions. Be a staunch fact-checker.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Director Michael Bay makes big, loud, fast, melodramatic action films, including the four Transformers movies. The critics hate him, but he’s unfazed.

“I make movies for teenage boys,” he says. “Oh, dear, what a crime,” he adds sarcastically.

I love that stance. He knows what he’s good at, and makes no apologies for doing it. I recommend that you cop some of that attitude right now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “I am naughtiest of all,” wrote poet Emily Dickinson in a playful letter to Maggie Maher, dated October 1882. In accordance with the astrological omens, I authorize you to use that same declaration in the coming week. Feel free to invoke other variations, as well: “I am exploring the frontiers of naughtiness,” for example, or, “You need to be naughtier” (said to a person you’d like to get naughty with), or “Being naughty is my current spiritual practice.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “There’s a way not to be broken that takes brokenness to find it,” writes Naomi Shihab Nye in her poem “Cinco de Mayo.” I suspect this describes your situation. The bad news is that you’re feeling a bit broken. The good news: This is a special kind of brokenness, which contains a secret you have never been ready to learn before now. Allow yourself to feel the full intensity of the brokenness, and you will discover a way to never be broken like this again.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): While walking in San Francisco, I passed the Pacific Heights Health Club. The sign out front said, “Birthday suits tailored here.” It was a witty reference to the idea that working out helps people get their naked bodies in shape. I’d like to interpret the sign’s message in a different way, and apply it to you. The time is right for you to get back in touch with your raw self, and give it the care, fuel and treats it has been missing. Who did you start out to be? What does your soul’s blueprint say about who you must become?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Horror novelist Stephen King has sold more than 350 million books. But when he was young and destitute, still honing his craft, his self-confidence was low. His breakthrough work was Carrie, about a teenage girl who develops telekinetic powers.

When he was first writing that manuscript he got so discouraged that he threw away his first draft.

Lucky for him, his wife retrieved it and convinced him to keep plugging away. He finished, and later sold the paperback rights for $400,000. I hope you have an ally who will go digging in your garbage to fish out the good stuff you discard.
