EDITOR’S NOTE ALT CONFERENCE TAKEAWAYS While independent, alternative weeklies like Boise Weekly might seem like one-off outgrowths of individual communities, most of us are actually connected through a trade organization called the Association of Alternative Newsmedia. Each year, we travel from near and far for a multi-day conference where we compare notes, talk about industry developments, do a fair amount of complaining and drink entirely too much booze.

This year’s AAN conference took place in Salt Lake City and, given its proximity to Boise, we were able to pretty much shut down BWHQ and hit the road as a staff. Between the whining and drinking, we came home with a few interesting takeaways.

First, we do a lot of things right in Boise that other weeklies struggle with. This year’s conference was heavy on presentations about longform journalism—those big stories that really delve into a topic. As we’re often told readers would rather get their news 140 characters at a time, it was heartening to hear from heavy hitters like famed magazine writer Stephen Fried that longform is what sets papers like BW apart and will (hopefully) save us from the leveling power of the Internet.

While many papers have a hard time making space or finding time to work those big stories, we’ve redoubled our commitment to investigative journalism through the BW Watchdogs program.

We’ve also be kind of spying on you and according to data pulled from boiseweekly.com, we know that in addition to longform reporting, you also really like to visit our website. We have one of the most robust online audiences among papers of our size, so rest assured, we’ll keep working to improve boiseweekly.com.

Second, the prognosis for our industry isn’t as grim as the “print-is-dead” prophets would have us believe. As long as we keep pursuing hard-hitting local news stories; big investigations; and keeping tabs on food, drink, arts, music and rec, we’ll stay vital.

Mostly, we learned that we have a lot of loyal readers and, damn it, we want to thank you. As always, we want to hear from you, so if you have anything you want to get off your chest regarding our content or website, email me at editor@boiseweekly.com.

OPINION FAITH VALUE

There are no Christians in a foxhole BILL COPE Lest you think atheists are rare, I’m here to tell you they aren’t. True, they are not as plentiful as believers, at least hereabouts. But they are easily as plentiful—even hereabouts—as, say, vegans.

Or bungee jumpers.

I say this because I know now and have known, personally, quite a few atheists. Four (out of four) Cope siblings turned out to be atheists, in spite of our poor mother’s earnest attempts to turn us all into Methodists. Within the circle of friends I grew up with, there are as many who developed into atheists as there are churchgoers.

Remember, this was rural Meridian, circa the ’60s. So you can imagine how many atheists are walking the streets of more sophisticated realms.

I’m not bragging about this. There is nothing any more inherently notable about being an atheist than there is about being a Methodist—except, perhaps, that becoming an atheist is almost always a solitary and mindful journey, while becoming a Methodist (Catholic, Baptist, Episcopalian, Muslim, et al.) is almost always a straight walk down a well trod path laid out by everyone from parents to the predominant social order. In other words, people have to work at becoming atheists, while becoming any of the others is pretty much just expected.

Like I said, I’m not bragging. I wouldn’t even have brought it up if it weren’t for something Si Robertson said a couple of weeks ago. Never heard of Si Robertson? Neither had I until I heard what he said, and it was so stupid I was compelled to find out more about him. No surprise, he’s a another member of that repulsively grungy, phenomenally ignorant, virulently racist, rabidly homophobic clan of assholes who make up the cast of a crap reality show called Duck Dynasty, which has become a favorite of the crowd who’ve come to equate grungy, ignorant, racist, homophobic assholery with piety and patriotism.

His brother Phil I knew about. Phil has become known for publically mouthing such swampy logic nuggets as there’s no difference between homosexuality and beastiality, and that African-Americans were a lot happier before the civil rights movement. Si’s—“Uncle Si,” as he is known by people who wear T-shirts and boxer shorts with his face on them—contribution to theological thought came during an interview on a Christian website, in which he proved there could be no such thing as an atheist because even those of us who profess nonbelief turn to the Gregorian calendar for such everyday functions as confirming our dates of birth or checking the expiration date on a cup of yogurt.

Do you see? Because we atheists, like most of the world, use a dating system pivoting on BOISE WEEKLY.COM

the birth of Jesus Christ, we are acknowledging that we believe in Jesus. Ergo, we are not really atheists.

Of course, if this argument were applied universally, there could be no such thing as a Muslim, a Hindu, a Buddhist, a Jew or any other faith in which the believers adhere to the Christian creed of dating their checks with the same holy month/day/year configuration as used

by Billy Graham and Joel Osteen.

Uncle Si also ignores the logical hiccup that just because there was a baby born, it is said, on the night of Dec. 25, 0, who later became somewhat of a famous figure in history—or at least in the history of Christians—does not prove that the baby is the Son of God. And it is generally the “God” part that atheists reject, not whether the “Son” part was a real person.

But then, solid reasoning and logical consistency are not things we have come to expect from people who are willing to deny centuries of science, yet believe anything a guy with a certificate from Hawgwart Bible College tells them (they take it on “faith value”... get it?). Nor would I expect Uncle Si to see the errors of his wits anymore than I would expect mud to invent the wheel.

Yet there is one thing Uncle Si repeated that has troubled me from the first time I ever heard it, even back before I decided the Methodist way wasn’t for me: There are no atheists in a foxhole.

The rationale behind the statement is, of course, that in circumstances of extreme duress, when all feels lost or hopeless or desperate, even an atheist will turn to God for help.

I have no doubt that old platitude, on its face, is true. I know from experience that even atheists can be afraid. Can feel hopeless. Can desperately wish someone or something would do for them what they cannot do for themselves. Save them from a lethal disease, for instance, or save a loved one from a lethal disease. Get them alive out of a car wreck, or a tornado or a bombardment. I have no doubt that I, myself—going on 50 years as an atheist—would ask God for a big favor in drastic circumstances... because I have.

But needing something greater than oneself to turn to in moments of great trouble doesn’t mean there really is something out there to turn to. It just means we wish there were.

One more thing: I actually did retain a few things from my Sunday school days as a fledgling Methodist, one of which was what seemed to me to be a perfectly clear directive God carved into a rock. Thou Shalt Not Kill. Further on in his interview, Uncle Si spoke of “Christian warriors.” If my understanding of Jesus’ teachings is anywhere near to correct, there is no such thing.

OPINION FRAMINGHAM IDYLL New disease from old data JOHN REMBER Boston. Brigham and Women’s Hospital. 1982. I was there to interview Dr. William Castelli, director of the Framingham Heart Study. I was writing a book on heart attacks for people who were recovering from one. My job was to put scientific language into ordinary English so people could at least know what questions to ask their doctors.

Dr. Castelli didn’t use scientific language.

He mostly talked about the Framingham Study, which began in 1948 and is still going. It has tracked thousands of residents of Framingham, Mass., for more than six decades, giving them detailed physical examinations every two years.

Because of Dr. Castelli and his colleagues, we have good evidence that smoking, obesity and lack of exercise cause heart attacks. We know that genes play a role in heart disease, and so does cholesterol, and that blood pressure once considered normal is now considered lethally high. We know that going through life charging over every obstacle and stressing over every detail is hard on your heart. We know that the people you hang out with can influence whether you live to 100 or fall over in your 40s.

Dr. Castelli didn’t talk about certainty during our interview. Instead, he said how difficult it was to interpret hard data. In medical school, he had been told that cholesterol in the diet went straight to artery walls. Cardiologists—thinking they were in the know—had swallowed teaspoons of margarine before going out for steak and potatoes, preloading their blood with hydrogenated vegetable fats. “Now,” he said, “I’d recommend you and your readers cut out margarine. Yesterday.”

“We have an enormous amount of data from the Framingham Study,” he said. “What it means changes every time we ask a new question.”

My readers weren’t going to like this idea.

They’d had heart attacks and wanted to know how to get their lives back. Castelli told me that getting a life back wasn’t a scientific question.

The interview changed my book. It put me in the shoes of my intended audience. I structured my chapters not around the data, but around the questions heart attack victims would ask if they dared: “Can I enjoy eating anything ever again? Can I have sex without dying? How much weight do I have to lose? Is my life over? Will anyone love me if I’m not a strong, uncomplaining silent-type?”

The Framingham Study didn’t address such questions. If taken seriously, they would change the tone of all those two-year physicals and complicate the jobs of the doctors. Whatever answers they generated would be scientifically suspect.

I tried to answer those all-too-human questions as best I could. But the company I worked 6 | JULY 22–28, 2015 | BOISEweekly

for went out of business before my manuscript was published and before I got my first royalty check. My first book no doubt resides in the archives of a firm specializing in bankruptcy law.

Was it worth writing? Probably. I haven’t eaten margarine since 1982, don’t smoke, try to get some exercise every day and have stopped pouring tablespoons of sugar on my morning Rice Krispies. Then again, I’ve since realized there are far worse ways to go than having your heart suddenly stop.

When I looked up Castelli on Wikepedia this morning, I couldn’t find an obituary. He’s an old man now, but a living one, probably with as strong a heart as a lifetime of state-of-the-art medical science can deliver. I hope he’s still got his wits about him. All the questions I have for him now are human, non-scientific, imprecise ones and it occurs to me that the ability to answer those is probably the first thing to go.

Still, the Framingham Study continues to accumulate terabytes of data about who dies and from what. New connections are becoming apparent between how people live and how they die. A study focused on heart disease has now broadened to include data about cancer, geneticbased obesity, dementia, stress and contagious disease.

Framingham data have grown to become a kind of mirror-world of human existence. It’s a world that can be explored. Something that looks like certainty can result. The scientific method avoids final answers, but over time it gets close.

Which brings up some difficult human questions. I’d like some solid answers, given that generations of Framingham data can probably answer them: • What happens, over decades, to people who get concussions and joint injuries in high-school football? (The disease of entertainment?)

• What sort of diseases do combat veterans get, 30 years after combat? (The disease of war?)

• What other foods besides trans-fats kill?

(The disease of eating whatever we want?)

• Do high-stress family lifestyles constitute child abuse? (The disease of unselfconscious parenting?)

• Is plastic killing us? (The disease of the miracle of chemistry?)

• Does poverty kill? Does a career in middlemanagement? How about teaching? Being a CEO? (The disease of hierarchy?)

These are questions that require individual and cultural self-awareness. Thanks to the Framingham study, they can be quantified and subjected to scientific analysis. They only await people with the courage to work on them.

NEWS IS GLOBAL WARMING REAL? IS THE POPE CATHOLIC?

“Fourth-grade reading scores are declining at the same time the rest of the nation is improving.”

KIDS COUNT: POOR MARKS FOR ACCESS TO PRE-K, HEALTH CARE

The Idaho impact of Pope Francis’ climate change encyclical SHANNON HELLER

When Jack McMahon, a parishioner at Risen Christ Catholic Church and Concordia Law School professor, began combing through Pope Francis’ 180-page climate change encyclical, Laudato Si (Care for our Common Home), he made a quick connection to the Gem State— particularly Idaho Power’s dependency on coalpowered energy plants.

“Idaho is now swarming with renewable energy projects,” McMahon said. “Idaho Power chose the other path… they have locked themselves into using fossil fuels for the next 20 years.”

The overuse of fossil fuels is just one of several environmental issues addressed by the pope’s encyclical, issued June 18, which has inspired debate in every corner of the globe, including Idaho.

Some critics insist that climate change and energy policy are strictly political discussions in which religion has no place. Jim Lakely, spokesman for the Chicago-based Heartland Institute think tank, wrote: “Pope Francis’ heart is in the right place; but he made a grave mistake by putting his trust and moral authority behind agendadriven bureaucrats at the United Nations who have been bearing false witness about the causes and consequences of climate change for decades.”

McMahon said the pope is already in the thick of that debate.

“A lot of people are taking umbrage against the idea of the church getting involved in the environment,” he said. “The pope is saying that these [decisions on the environment] are both political decisions and moral decisions.”

The climate change debate is hardly the first time that the Catholic Church has been embroiled in environmental politics, particularly in the Northwest. In February 2001, Catholic bishops from Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia wrote a pastoral letter dubbed “The Columbia River Watershed: BOISE WEEKLY.COM

UNDA’ THE ROTUNDA

An editorial in the Idaho Catholic Register, titled “Pope Francis sees the forest for the trees,” states that the pope is not trying to “convince the inconvincible” that climate change exists, but instead demonstrate why humanity should be concerned.

Caring for Creation and the Common Good,” which called for judicial protections of the Columbia River and its wildlife.

“The Columbia River, made by God and populated with His creatures of every sort, is holy,” the bishops wrote. “Polluting it, and treating it as a sewer and stealing from it without regard to all the creatures, human and otherwise, who depend upon it for sustenance is a grave offense to God.” In June, 16 religious leaders from the Northwest and Canada fired off their own letter, this time directed to President Barack Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

“When we seek to make faithful decisions about the tending of the Columbia River or any natural resource, we must remember that it is not, nor can it ever be, just about us or just about now,” they wrote.

McMahon said Pope Francis has made it clear “that religion is not just a relationship between a person and God,” but added that he feared some Idahoans might have a harder time recognizing climate change as a significant problem.

“It’s the oceans that are going to be rising, not the Boise River,” he said.

Nonetheless, the pope’s encyclical may spur some cognitive dissonance among a few highranking Gem State officials.

Idaho Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter is Catholic; so is U.S. Sen. Jim Risch, one of 163 members of Congress who are Catholic. Otter has opposed measures meant to limit carbon emissions, calling carbon’s connection to climate change “debatable,” while Risch in January voted against

an amendment that stated “climate change is real and human activity significantly contributes to climate change.” “[Catholic politicians] are reading a document directed at them—first as Catholics and then as politicians,” said McMahon. “This really can’t be ignored by political figures. It has to be addressed.”

The task of raising awareness of climate change in Idaho remains the job of Gem State environmental organizations. The Snake River Alliance has already scheduled several events using the pope’s encyclical as a foundation. Many of those events run up until Saturday, Oct. 24, the International Day of Climate Action, when nearly 100 nations around the world will participate in demonstrations advocating for policies aimed at lessening climate threats.

Between now and then Pope Francis will have visited the United States, where he is expected to address the United Nations General Assembly and a joint session of Congress. Climate change is reported to be the centerpiece of his remarks.

While McMahon recognizes that there is still much work to be done to reverse or even slow human-caused climate change, he’s still optimistic that the message of Pope Francis’ encyclical will sink in.

“I believe there will be a tipping point when humanity wakes up and takes actions against climate change,” McMahon said. “Inexcusable delay will make the task vastly more expensive than if tackled now, but the day will come when Americans will 8 demand action.”

Meanwhile, officials at the Boise

Not far into the 56-page Kids Count Data Book from the Annie E. Casey Foundation, a consistent theme emerges: Idaho lacks prekindergarten education.

“Fourth-grade reading scores are declining at the same time the rest of the nation is improving,” said Jim Munkres, communications manager of Idaho Kids Count. “That’s obviously alarming.”

The 2015 Data Book, released Tuesday, July 21, shows 67 percent of Idaho fourth-graders are not proficient in reading, compared to 65 percent in 2007.

“We see a relationship between kids not ready to learn when they enter kindergarten and their reading proficiency in fourth grade,” said Munkres. “Improving our rate of kids in pre-K would go a long way.”

That connects to another sobering statistic: According to Kids Count, 68 percent of Idaho children are not attending preschool, up from 67 percent in 2009. In 2013, 33,000 Idaho 3- and 4-year-olds were not enrolled in any kind of preschool. Idaho ranks 49th in the nation for kids attending pre-K, according to the census.

“It’s important that every kid has the opportunity to reach their full potential,” said Alejandra Cerna Rios, of Idaho Voices for Children, who pointed to the recently announced partnership between the city of Boise and the Boise School District to introduce free pre-K at two schools in the Vista neighborhood.

“The city of Boise has made a meaningful commitment to school readiness with the Vista project,” she said.

Another troubling statistic from the Kids Count survey reveals that Idaho ranks 40th in the nation for percentage of insured kids. In 2013, approximately 38,000 Gem State kids were uninsured.

“Many people have worked very hard to bring health insurance to Idaho’s kids,” said Idaho Kids Count Director Lauren Necochea.

“But because Idaho has not yet addressed our health coverage gap, many working families also face the uncertainty of being uninsured.”

Kids Count put Idaho in the bottom half of American states when it came to the overall health picture of its most vulnerable citizens.

JES SICA MURRI

NEWS FISHING FOR TROUBLE Vandalism leads to closure of Payette Lake trout-rearing pens

Why did 200 issues of Boise Weekly end up in an IDOC recycling bin?

BOISE WEEKLY IS PULLED, THEN RETURNED TO IDAHO PRISON All the news that’s fit to print isn’t always the news that the Idaho Department of Correction sees fit to read. That may be why the warden at the Idaho State Correctional Institution, the largest and oldest prison in the IDOC system, didn’t want inmates to have their regular access to Boise Weekly.

On Thursday, July 16, 200 copies of the latest edition of BW, which included allegations from IDOC caregivers and inmates that medical records had been tampered with and a court-ordered investigation of the prison’s mental health unit had been “tainted,” were pulled from prisoner access. According to an IDOC spokesman, the papers were later found in a recycling bin.

“Given the nature of recent stories in the Boise Weekly, [an IDOC] staff member asked the [ISCI] warden if he wanted him to put out this week’s edition,” IDOC Director Kevin Kempf told BW in an email, adding that the warden had not been aware BW was distributed in such large quantities and decided to limit access to the paper to six copies in the prison library.

Inside that edition, BW reported that several IDOC staffers had been deposed in anticipation of a federal court hearing to investigate allegations that medical records had been altered or destroyed in order to save the state from having to provide treatment to some inmates—particularly those requesting that they be tested for a possible diagnosis of gender identity disorder.

In the same story, BW quoted a former IDOC official who had been, up until a few months ago, responsible for the integrity of information recorded and disseminated at IDOC. He told BW that, “people with firsthand knowledge are moving beyond fear to the truth.”

As BW was going to press, a new hearing on the matter was getting under way at the United States courthouse in Boise and was expected to include testimony from prisoners and IDOC employees.

Kempf wrote to BW “I recognize this was a mistake” to limit the number of copies available to prisoners.

“The remaining 200 copies will be distributed ASAP,” he wrote.

JESSICA MURRI Every summer, when the heat in the Treasure Valley becomes suffocating, the population of McCall nearly quadruples. The cramped yet quaint main street fills with traffic inching through town while tourists in tank tops and bikinis crowd the crosswalks.

As children, parents and college kids overtake the banks of Payette Lake, something is missing this summer near the bobbing docks of Brown Park. For nearly two decades, the lakefront park was home to two large fish pens where about 6,000 rainbow trout would grow throughout the summer.

Every year, the trout started their lives at the Nampa Fish Hatchery before being trucked to McCall and herded into the rearing pens—not an easy task, according to Fish and Game Regional Fisheries Manager Dale Allen.

“It took some time to get them all in there; not the easiest thing to corral them all out of the truck and into the pens,” he said.

Allen has decided not to deal with that again this year. The pens, made of net, have been a target of vandalism for several years and Allen said he’s over it.

“We didn’t mind the labor involved, but if it was just all for not every time, we’re going to be done with it for a while,” he said.

For the past two years, someone has swam under the fish pens and cut the net, releasing all of the fish into the lake—usually just weeks after they were first put in. They’re supposed to live in the pens from Memorial Day to Labor Day. It’s unfortunate for those who enjoy fishing along the lakeside, because the point of the program was to help the fish grow bigger—from 10 inches to 12 or 13 inches—and acclimate them to the water near the docks.

“Plus, people enjoyed just seeing the fish there,” Allen said. “The fish now may not be as big and probably won’t stay in town because they’re not used to that area as much. The pens seemed to localize them, made the fishing a little better in town. That was the best part of it.”

Alongside the fish pens, McCall Parks and Recreation managed some food dispensers where visitors could drop a nickel and get some fish food to throw into the 25-foot by 25-foot pens.

McCall Parks and Rec Director Dennis Coyle said those, too, fell victim to vandals.

“They’d break them open and get the money out,” he said. “There wasn’t a lot in there, but it helped offset the costs of the program.”

The rainbow trout will still end up in the lake, but now they’ll be dumped in the water without spending time fattening up with automatic feeders.

“We’ll see how it goes,” Allen said.

If fish pens and food dispensers seem like strange targets for vandalism, it’s because they are. The culprits have left Allen and Coyle scratching their heads, though Coyle doubts this is the work of some vigilante environmentalists

wanting to free the fish.

“If it was, it failed miserably because the fish would swim out of the net and then swim right back in when they’re threatened,” Coyle said. “I think it was someone just trying to create a little havoc. I’ve been in this business for more than 35 years and nothing like this surprises me.”

Allen agrees with Coyle on that front.

“I’ve been in this long enough to see lots of stupid things,” Allen said.

In the long run, losing the fish-rearing pens might not make that big of a difference to the fishing in Payette Lake. Fish and Game is in the process of changing its fish stocking program, switching to a larger sized trout that will grow closer to 12 inches without any human assistance. Allen said the fish pens probably would have faded away eventually.

Coyle isn’t too worried about the loss either.

“It was nice while it was there, but things change and you move on,” he said. “There’s probably some people that will be disappointed that they can’t see the fish up close anymore, but [Fish and Game] will continue to stock the Payette Lake and the fish will still be in there.”

Catholic Diocese have expressed growing interest in the pope’s stance on climate change. An editorial in the June 19 edition of the Idaho Catholic Register, titled “Pope Francis sees the forest for the trees,” states that the pope is not trying to “convince the inconvincible” that climate change exists, but instead demonstrate why humanity should be concerned.

The editorial notes that the encyclical “is likely to make Catholics carrying political party cards of every stripe uncomfortable,” but reminds Idahoans that “inequality is played out even in Idaho, where the electrical grid will be overwhelmed in the weeks ahead as the demand for power for air conditioning will result in unexpected shutdowns as demand increases with rising temperatures. Who pays the steepest price?

The poor, shut-ins and seniors who have no way to avoid or escape the heat.”

“We wanted to provoke thought in our readers,” said Michael Brown, head of communications for the Boise Diocese and Register editor.

“I think [the encyclical] will have a huge impact over generations not in just the world economy, but the domestic economy. It really comes down to protection of the poor.”

‘I’m the embodiment of my repressed id as a reporter’ Z ACH HAGADONE Derek Farr spent six years as a reporter in Pennsylvania and western Wyoming before he decided that journalism wasn’t exactly his thing. Covering the energy industry in Wyoming, he came to the realization that “one side was more right than the other.”

“Some of the things that were going on required what I felt to be somebody pointing out how both sides weren’t really equal,” he said. “One side wasn’t playing by the same rules that everybody else was playing by. … That’s when I decided I wanted to be the one to point it out on the front end—that inequity.”

A Colorado native and former international river raft guide, Farr landed in Riggins in January and the journalist-turned-advocate went to work as executive director of BetterIdaho.org, a webbased nonprofit that bills itself as “a communications shop for progressive ideas.”

Though founded in 2013, the website had a low profile until Farr took the reins, pushing out a steady stream of progressive- and left-leaning analysis and commentary on Idaho politics.

Farr took a few minutes to talk with Boise Weekly about Better Idaho’s backers, its mission and where it fits in the Gem State’s media landscape

Is Better Idaho affiliated with any other organization or organizations?

We’re an affiliate of [Minnesota-based] ProgressNow. It has a national organization that provides me, for instance, with things like web hosting. ... The way it works is we get these messaging tools to use from ProgressNow and we’re in charge of raising money so we can turn the lights on. … Our donations are 100 percent Idaho and

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

one of the reasons is it’s very difficult to get people from other states and around the nation thinking that there’s any sort of progressive vibe in Idaho at all. They’re definitely wrong about that and we’re proving them wrong every day.

What is Better Idaho, if not journalistic?

It definitely has a watchdog element to it, but our big goal is civic participation through

So, you have an educative bent, but with some pretty clear allegiances ideologically?

We’re definitely progressive. I’ll tell you the one thing that I really see as causing problems for Idaho is that there’s a narrative now that you’re either on the far right or you’re a lefty.

Even people who are stalwart Republicans for years and years are being disenfranchised by the fact that they get called a RINO [Republican In Name Only]. Everything is either extreme right or we cast you away. I’m trying to pick up all the people who are being shunned away by the extreme right. … Cooperation, working together and collaborating on creating decent, sane public policy is a lot more effective than pure ideology. And I’m not an ideologue, I’m a pragmatist.

Do you see yourself as the counterpoint to the Idaho Reporter and Idaho Freedom Foundation?

I’m not really comfortable with that. I see them as staking a really, really firm ground out on the far right. My audience I see as tending to be a little more moderate, toward the center and people on the left. It seems like there’s almost two political parties: your moderate Republicans who want to work on solutions. … Then there’s the far right, and they label themselves as being the people of political purity and everybody else are the heretics. [IFF and Idaho Reporter] have a firm foothold and do an excellent job communicating to that audience, but our policy positions

are more aligned with that cooperative-minded Republican and cooperative-minded Democrat.

Is your purpose similar to Idaho Reporter’s?

Yeah. You probably noticed their antagonism toward us has increased about tenfold. … We do the same types of functions, but we have much different tactics.

Do you advocate less than they do?

We do that as well. We take strong stances.

We’re doing a lot of that same kind of work that they’re doing but we have completely different policy positions and completely different tactics. What we’re trying to accomplish is more cooperation. … Let’s make some positive steps for the state and let’s not die on our ideological ground.

What are the goals for Better Idaho?

Our short-term goal goes from here to 2016.

Our goal there is to try to draw out to the people of Idaho the difference between voting for people who are beholden to an ideology and people who are beholden to an idea that they want to make the state a better place to live. … Our long-term goal is to have Better Idaho become an institution that everybody understands they can turn to to get information about state and local politics from people with a progressive, cooperative mindset. … We want to claim the legitimate ground of the mainstream of Idaho.

How do you feel about Idaho media?

The journalists in Idaho are fantastic. The real journalists, not the advocacy journalists.

The ones who go down there and do the grind behind the desk, or at the Capitol, or at the police station. But this is kind of where it folds into where I was as a journalist. I could do a good job covering a story that had two sides and present both with an air of equality. But what I really wanted to do was be able to say they’re not really equal—this side is on the right side of history and this side is yesterday’s news. That’s the role that I’m filling—I’m the embodiment of my repressed id as a reporter.

BOISE CLASSIC MOVIES: THE BIG LEBOWSKI

AN EVENING WITH CURTIS STIGERS

Sometimes a film is the film for its time and place. That’s The Big Lebowski. It combines the whodunit of film noir with the jolly indolence of ’90s slackerdom in a rich tapestry of quirky characters, inimitable dialogue and intertextual references that hang together as comfortably as an old bathrobe.

From the Dude’s opening encounter with the rug pissers to the unraveling of a kidnapping, we meet a pederastic bowler, a band of nihilists, a “strongly vaginal” artist, a porn baron, a fascist police chief and scads of other weirdos. If all that sounds like rubbish, it’s time to get wise to the Coen brothers’ magnum opus, complete with a costume contest, white Russians, beer (aka “oat soda”) and wine. It’ll really tie your week together.

7 p.m., $9 online, $11 door. Egyptian Theatre, 700 W. Main St., 208-345-0454, 208-387-1273. boiseclassicmovies.com.

When you don’t see a Curtis Stigers show on the calendar for a while, it’s probably not because he’s laying around binge-watching Netflix. The soulful jazz singer performs in the opening sequence of Ted 2 (director Seth MacFarlane narrated it for The New York Times at nyti.ms/1ecwrWI), and he recently performed with the BBC Big Band in Scotland for Frank Sinatra’s 100th birthday. In a July 20 newsletter, Stigers wrote he is ready to be back in Idaho, and he’ll celebrate his homecoming on the Egyptian Theatre stage with Boise guitarist “Shaky” Dave Manion and New York-based pals pianist Matthew Fries, bassist Cliff Schmitt, drummer paul Wells and trumpeter John “Scrapper” Sneider. After that, he’ll return in December for his Xtreme Holiday Xtravaganza, staying plenty busy until then.

JAIALDI 2015 Boise Mayor Dave Bieter can get pretty excited while talking about politics, libraries and streetcars. But hizzoner practically jumps out of his azala (Basque for “skin”) when it comes to Jaialdi, Boise’s quinquennial all-things-Basque blowout. Bieter, America’s only Basque mayor, will undoubtedly shout, “Ongi etorri!” (“Welcome”) a few dozen times during the six-day jubilee, which turns the Basque Block into the center of the Basque universe. Jaialdi 2015 will showcase a sports night in CenturyLink Arena, featuring weightlifters and woodchoppers; a musical celebration at the Morrison Center; San Inazio Mass at St. Mark’s Catholic Church; and three days of Basque exhibitions inside Expo Idaho.

The Crue is going out on a high note.

MOTLEY CRUE: THE FINAL TOUR Rolling Stone describes Motley Crue as “the poster boys for ’80s hair metal, [who turned] hard-rock songs, melodic power ballads and a hedonistic image into platinum-level heavy-metal superstardom.” For more than 30 years, Tommy Lee, Mick Mars, Vince Neil and Nikki Sixx rocked through marriages, divorces, DUIs, arrests, sex tapes and lawsuits—much of it chronicled in 2002’s The Dirt: Confessions of the World’s Most Notorious Rock Band.

The foursome sold more than 80 million records and performed thousands of shows around the world. Now the boys are calling it quits, but before they sing the praises of “Dr. Feelgood” for the last time on New Year’s Eve in Los Angeles, they’ll make a stop in Boise on their epic Final Tour, with fellow rock icon Alice Cooper opening.

ARTS & CULTURE HARRISON BERRY

SHOPPERS WITHOUT BORDERS

Boise’s new Mobile Market brings fresh produce to the people HARRISON BERRY On June 8, 2015, the Mobile Market hit the road for the first time. Eileen Stachowski had parked the boxy, refrigerated trailer in the shade near the Latah Village Apartments in Boise’s Bench neighborhood, where she munched on locally grown snap peas and talked about her careers, camping and her interest in local food.

A former aeronautical engineer, Stachowski got tired of the long hours and cycle of moving to new cities every few months. Her real passion, she said, is feeding the hungry. As manager of the Mobile Market, that’s exactly what she’s doing. The market is rolling to parks and apartment complexes across Boise during the summer, selling fresh fruits and vegetables sourced from the Boise Farmers Market.

“We believe local food should be available to all Idahoans, and systematically it’s not,” she said.

The Mobile Market takes aim at communities with low access to fresh, local produce and will continue making appearances at area parks and apartment complexes through Wednesday, Sept. 30. At the market, those with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits can use their EBT cards to purchase produce provided by farmers affiliated with the Boise Farmers Market. The city of Boise will match every dollar, up to $10, spent using SNAP benefits.

The project brings together a number of familiar ideas—food trucks, social services, public-private partnerships, parks and access to locally grown foods—that have coalesced into a vehicle (pun intended) for a larger plan to make Boise a healthier place to live.

“Access to fresh fruits and vegetables are a key component to a healthy community, but [the Boise Farmers Market] is centrally located in a place where people can’t always get to,” said Boise City Councilman TJ Thomson, who, at a June 2 City Council meeting, secured $20,000 from the Strategic Initiatives Fund for matching SNAP benefits.

The Mobile Market fits into Thomson’s BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Eileen Stachowski rolled out the Mobile Market for the first time June 8, bringing fresh produce to residents in the Latah Village Apartments. The market will make the rounds through Sept. 30.

Healthy Boise Initiatives 2.0, which had included a plan to limit students’ access to fast food that was ultimately scrubbed.

Thomson has also backed a proposal to score pre-kindergarten programs on how much time children spend in front of televisions and how much fresh food they eat, making the scores available to parents.

To Thomson, the appeal of matching SNAP funds used to make purchases at the Mobile Market is that it helps incentivize the purchase of fresh foods among a population that too often doesn’t have access to them.

“What I want to do is increase the buying power of those low-income families,” he said.

A food truck-type operation also fits the needs of the Boise Farmers Market. BFM and Mobile Market organizer Janie Burns echoed Thomson’s observation that the market’s fixed location near the center of the city makes its hard to access for those who live in areas other than the Bench and North End. “It made a lot of sense for the Boise Farmers Market to expand out of its stationary position,” she said. “A lot of people don’t come downtown and we need to do a bit more outreach.”

The idea came from employees of the Boise Parks and Recreation Department, who told Burns about its mobile recreation van, which for more than six years has taken recreational opportunities to Boise neighborhoods. Because the van’s target locations happen to be in so-called “food deserts”—areas that have a comparative lack of access to fresh foods, either due to poverty or distance from grocery stores—”it was suggested that produce could travel into these neighborhoods and match recreation opportunities and food opportunities,” Burns said.

For Stachowski, the question is whether people will turn out to make purchases at the Mobile Market. On its first day, she said approximately 20 people came to the market when it stopped at Oak Park Village, the first three of whom paid with SNAP benefits.

Based on her research into similar programs around the county, Stachowski said she expects more than 25 percent of purchases at the market to be made with SNAP benefits by the end of the summer. Stachowski said she was encouraged by the turnout.

“People were really excited about the food stamp match,” she said.

BLAZING TRAILS

ITA picks up trail work where Forest Service left off The thru-hike of the Idaho Centennial Trail is expected to take 52 days, ending around Aug. 20.

THRU-HIKING THE IDAHO CENTENNIAL TRAIL The Idaho Centennial Trail is more of an idea than a completed trail. Running from the desert bordering Nevada clear to the cool mountain forests of north Idaho, the trail covers between 900 and 1,200 miles of the state.

“I would guess 10 people have thru-hiked it,” said Clay Jacobson. “In history.”

Jacobson’s goal this summer is to join the ranks of those ambitious hikers. On June 30, he and his girlfriend, as well as two other friends, started out on the border of Idaho and Nevada—ready to begin their hike.

The trek will take them from the canyonlands of southern Idaho to the Sawtooth Wilderness, through 300 miles of the Frank Church-River of No Return and Selway-Bitterroot wildernesses, and along the Continental Divide Trail on the Idaho-Montana border. The trail ends in the Panhandle at the border of the United States and British Columbia, Canada.

It’s not exactly well maintained, though.

“There are parts in the Frank Church where no one has been back for 10 years, so the trail is just gone,” Jacobson said.

His girlfriend, Kelly Bussard, isn’t sure what to prepare for. According to Jacobson, she has never backpacked before, but the couple started training at the end of January.

“We’ve been mentally preparing for six months,” he said. “This is what 10 miles feels like, this is what 20 miles feels like, what 5,000 feet of elevation gain feels like. I’m planning for myself and making sure me and Kelly make it.

Everyone else is open-invitation.”

Nate Malloy, who met Jacobson working as a night lifty at the Bogus Basin ski area, decided to take him up on the invite.

“I’ve never done a hike like this,” he said. “I did all my hiking in the military, which took the fun out of it.”

Malloy said he had often heard Jacobson talk about his thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail, which inspired him to take this hike.

“Plus, growing up in Idaho, it’ll be huge to say I’ve walked all the way across,” the 38-yearold Malloy said, “as long as I can dodge all the snakes and bears and lions. It’s going to be soul-searching for me. I’m gonna knock this out before I’m 40.”

The party expects to reach the trail’s end in 52 days, right around Aug. 20.

—Jessica Murri 20 | JULY 22–28, 2015 | BOISEweekly

JESSICA MURRI Rather than lighting up a barbecue or setting off fireworks, Jeff Halligan spent the Fourth of July leading a troop of volunteers into the Payette National Forest. Halligan, the executive director of the nonprofit Idaho Trails Association, armed his crew with work gloves, crosscut saws, Pulaskis, brush clippers, hand saws and axes, and set them to work clearing fallen trees at the Duck Lake trailhead about an hour northeast of McCall.

Even at that high elevation, the temperature rose quickly as the day wore on. The group of six volunteers came upon the first fallen tree within 20 minutes. Halligan examined the bend of the tree, the ground beneath it and the safest way to saw it out. Within a few minutes, he had a volunteer on the other side of his crosscut saw and after fewer than five minutes of vigorous sawing, the sweet smell of fresh-cut wood filled the air and the trunk popped as it split apart.

One down; the rest of the trail to go.

The first time Halligan took a volunteer trail crew into the backcountry five years ago, they cleared nearly 50 trees from the two-mile trail up to Hum Lake. The next summer they cleared 40 trees; they cleared 35 the summer after that. They organized themselves as the Idaho Trails Association and devoted their spare time to maintaining backcountry trails around the state. Halligan said Idaho needs their help.

“When I ran the McCall district,” he said, referring to his 18-year stint as the trail specialist for the Payette National Forest, “I had two five-person heavy maintenance crews that would go out and camp 10 days at a time and bust out the trail completely. Then I had two horse packers who would cut logs out of the trail and three pairs of people that backpacked and did water bar maintenance and took rocks out of the trail. We had 800 miles of trail to maintain.”

Then the district that served the west side of Payette Lake, McCall and New Meadows absorbed Council and Weiser. Now, the same district oversees 1,500 miles of trail.

“And they have two people. Two paid trail workers,” Halligan said. “They doubled the mileage and decreased the staff from 20 to two.”

A fire that burned through the Duck Lake/ Hum Lake area of the Payette National Forest in 1994 left hundreds of trees littering the trail.

Going so long without maintenance, it was a big job for Halligan and his crew to take on. But

Jeff Halligan (left) started leading volunteer trail crews into the Idaho wilderness after the Legislature declared the state’s backcountry a disaster area in 2010.

that work likely wouldn’t get done without the volunteer efforts of groups like ITA. In 2010, the Back Country Horsemen of Idaho went to the Idaho Legislature with their concerns over the state of Idaho’s backcountry trails. Lawmakers responded by declaring the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness, the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness and the backcountry as a whole a disaster area.

“We [the Forest Service] immediately went to the Legislature and we were like, ‘Yeah, come up with some money and we’ll help fix that,’” Halligan said. “And they said, ‘No, that wasn’t the intent. It’s just a disaster area and it’s not our fault and we’re not going to help fix it.’” Halligan said the Legislature has tried to use that as leverage in the debate for a state takeover of federal lands.

“It’s just a way to show that the federal government can’t do anything right,” he said. “It kind of backfired on the Back Country Horsemen.”

Politics were far from volunteers’ minds on the Duck Lake trail July 4.

Chantelle Minarcine was happy to spend her holiday working on the trail, despite the fact that she’s never been on the other side of a crosscut saw. She moved to Boise from Atlanta, Ga. with her husband to get out in the wilderness.

“We moved to Idaho without having ever been to Idaho,” she said. “I was on a business trip and you know the Sky Magazines in the back of the seats? I was reading about Boise and I was sitting there thinking, ‘Oh my God, it sounds like the perfect place to live.’”

They made the transition five months ago and Minarcine joined a hiking group, got a kayak and plans to learn how to ski this winter.

Minarcine said she admires the Idaho Trails Association and groups like it.

“Back East, everyone is just doing their own separate things,” she said.

Part of the point of the Idaho Trails Association is to keep the traditional skills of trail maintenance alive, so Halligan never equips his crews with power tools or chainsaws. He takes special care of his crosscut saws and even started a small business restoring antique saws.

Volunteers on July 4 ranged from a man in his early 20s to men and women in their 50s and 60s.

Throughout the day, the crew cleared 11 trees.

There aren’t many trees left standing in the burn area, making for an easy day.

Not all days with the ITA are so easygoing.

Halligan said he gets assignments from the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management for trails that need extra help. His organization works year-round and tackles about 45 miles of trail every year. Last year, they also built two miles of new trail near Warm Lake outside of Cascade.

Trips range from an afternoon of light maintenance to seven-day treks into the Sawtooths and the Boulder-White Cloud mountains. Those jobs use pack animals to get tools and gear in and a chef comes along to prepare all the food.

The land management agencies are in such dire need of help, though, that Halligan had to turn down three week-long assignments because the ITA is simply not large enough to keep up.

“The Congress doesn’t feel that it’s worthwhile to spend money on the Forest Service,” he said, resting in the shade on the side of the trail. “They say people should volunteer and do more work.

Well, here we are.”

SCARS ON 45, JULY 22, GROVE PLAZA Scars on 45 is no stranger to Boise. The British band has spun through the City of Trees a few times, returning Wednesday, July 22 to bring its definitive adult guitar-pop to the Grove Plaza for Alive After Five.

Back in 2008, Scars on 45 had a song featured in the nowcanceled A&E series The Cleaner (starring Benjamin Bratt) and in 2009, the band made a big splash in the U.S. when its “Beauty’s Running Wild” was used in an episode of CSI: New York—both before the band had even released its self-titled debut full-length on Chop Shop/Atlantic Recording.

Scars songs continued to be included in small-screen shows—Grey’s Anatomy and Pretty Little Liars among them—as the band made its way across the U.S., touring with popular musicians and acts like Ingrid Michaelson, One Eskimo and The Fray. After Scars on 45 was released, the band’s music was again on the small screen but this time, so was the band, performing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

BEERGUZZLER TRADITIONAL FARMHOUSE CIDER Cider has become a hot ticket with lots of new entries hitting shelves. Most are made with the culinary apple varieties you normally see at a local market. True cider apples aren’t bred for eating—they are a bit too bitter and fibrous, which makes for easier juicing. All three here are the real deal, lightly carbonated and made with real cider apples.

ASPALL ENGLISH GRAND CRU DRAFT CIDER, $7$8.50, 500 ML. Aspall has been crafting traditional English ciders since 1728. This organic offering pours a light straw reminiscent of a good pilsner, complete with a touch of froth. The yeasty aromas have notes of lime, orange and apple with a hint of brettanomyces yeast. Just off-dry on the palate, it’s a combo of green apple and grape with a lemony finish.

CRISPIN BROWNS LANE NATURAL HARD APPLE CIDER, $2.50-$3, 16-OUNCE CAN This light amber cider imported from England is, on the one hand, the driest of the three, but on the other, the softest with its low acidity. Fresh apple juice aromas, complete with the peel, are backed by malty touches of straw.

Apple and pear flavors fill the palate colored by a soft hit of brett. The lingering finish is smooth, dry and fruity.

J.K.’S NORTHERN NEIGHBOUR FARMHOUSE CIDER, $6.50-$7.50, 22 OUNCE BOTTLE Brewed by Michigan’s Almar Orchard, the juice comes from some of their 30 organically grown varieties blended with a Canadian prairie apple, the Saskatoon. It’s a ruby tinged, amber pour with aromas like fresh baked apple pie. The flavors are a nice mix of sweet and sour, offering cinnamon laced apple butter and strawberry, balanced by bright acidity.

NORSE CYBER-ATTACK MAP The Internet may sometimes seem like a digital manifestation of Earth’s 14-year-olds, but it’s not all cat pictures and Kim Kardashian’s ass. There’s a war going on, people, and it is waged worldwide 24/7.

Internet security firm Norse Corp., which tracks threat intelligence for big corporations and government agencies, has provided a glimpse into the ongoing cyber conflict that rages all around us.

Through an interactive, real-time map, the California-based company presents a web of attacks across the globe as multi-colored beams shooting from computer to computer—all the while listing the origins and types of attacks, as FREE, map.norsecorp.com well as their targets and attackers.

During the time of this writing, from 3:15-3:45 p.m. on July 20, the United States suffered 2,108 attacks, with the majority—1,019—originating in China.

The Norse map, as chilling as it is in its constancy, represents only a fraction of the attacks carried out every second of every day.

The company uses so-called “honey pots”—sensors made to look like computers and other web-enabled devices—to lure attackers and log their locations and IP addresses. In other words, the attacks shown on the map are only occurring on Norse’s own system. Even that, according to a Newsweek profile of the company, is less than 1 percent of the data Norse receives “at any given time.”

While it’s hypnotic to watch—and the slick interface has a spytech feel—the map is intended to show that the Internet isn’t the kind of place you’d want to be walking around in at night (and it can’t hurt Norse’s marketing efforts to scare the digital bejeesus out of prospective clients). Still, letting the map run on your desktop for a while will probably make you want to change your passwords.

IN RE: Stephanie L Schmid.

Legal Name Case No. CVNC 1510112 NOTICE OF HEARING ON NAME CHANGE (Adult) A Petition to change the name of Stephanie L Schmid, now residing in the City of Boise, State of Idaho, has been filed in the District Court in Ada County, Idaho.

The name will change to Stephanie Leslie McCall. The reason for the change in name is: Family Name. A hearing on the petition is scheduled for 130 o’clock p.m. on Aug 25, 2015 at the Ada County Courthouse. Objections may be filed by any person who can show the court a good reason against the name change. Date: June 17, 2015. CLERK OF THE DISTRICT COURT By: Deirdre Price Deputy

Clerk PUB July 1, 8, 15 and 22, 2015.

LEGAL NOTICE SUMMONS BY PUBLICATION CASE NO. CV 15 1605, IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE THIRD JUDICIAL DISTRICT OF THE STATE OF IDAHO IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CANYON, Discovery Pointe Subdivision Homeowners Association, Inc., Plaintiff, v.

David Terry and Lesli Terry, Defendant.

TO: DAVID TERRY You have been sued by Discovery Pointe Subdivision Homeowners Association, Inc., the Plaintiff, in the District Court of the Third Judicial District in and for Canyon County, Idaho, Case No. CV 15 1605 C. The nature of the claim against you is for unpaid homeowner association assessments, more particularly described in the Complaint. Any time after twenty (20) days following the last publication of this Summons, the Court may enter a judgment against you without further notice, unless prior to that time you have filed a written response in the proper form, including the case number, and paid any required filing fee to: Clerk of the Court, Canyon County Courthouse, 1115 Albany,

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): The Latin motto “Carpe diem” shouldn’t be translated as “Seize the day” says author Nicholson Baker. It’s not a battle cry exhorting you to “freaking grab the day in your fist like a burger at a fairground and take a big chomping bite out of it.” The proper translation, according to Baker, is “Pluck the day.” In other words, “you should gently pull on the day’s stem, as if it were a wildflower, holding it with all the practiced care of your thumb and the side of your finger, which knows how to not crush easily crushed things—so that the day’s stem undergoes increasing tension and draws to a tightness, and then snaps softly away at its weakest point, and the flower is released in your hand.” Keep that in mind, Aries. I understand you are tempted to seize rather than pluck, but plucking is the preferable approach.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): When I talk about “The Greatest Story Never Told,” I’m not referring to the documentary about singer Lana Del Rey or the debut album of the rap artist Saigon. I am referring to a part of your past that you have never owned and understood... a phase you have partially suppressed... an intense set of memories you have not integrated. It’s time for you to deal with this shadow. You’re ready to acknowledge it and treasure it as a

crucial thread in the drama of your hero’s journey.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Greek philosopher Thales is credited as being one of the earliest mathematicians and scientists. He was a deep thinker whose thirst for knowledge was hard to quench.

Funny story: Once he went out at night for a walk. Gazing intently up at the sky, he contemplated the mysteries of the stars. Oops! He didn’t watch where he was going, and fell down into a well. He was OK, but embarrassed. Let’s make him your anti-role model, Gemini.

I would love to encourage you to unleash your lust to be informed, educated, and inspired—but only if you watch where you’re going.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Charles Darwin is best known for The Origin of Species, which contains his ideas about evolutionary biology. But while he was still alive, his bestseller was The Formation of Vegetable Mould Through the Action of Worms. The painstaking result of over 40 years’ of research, it is a tribute to the noble earthworm and its role in the health of soil and plants. It provides a different angle on one of Darwin’s central concerns: how small, incremental transformations that take place over extended periods of time can have monumental effects. This also happens to be one of your key themes in the coming months.

28 | JULY 22–28, 2015 | BOISEweekly

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A researcher at the University of Amsterdam developed software to read the emotions on faces.

He used it to analyze the expression of the woman in Leonardo da Vinci’s famous painting, the Mona Lisa. The results suggest that she is 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful and 2 percent angry. Whether or not this assessment is accurate, I appreciate its implication that we humans are rarely filled with a single pure emotion. We often feel a variety of states simultaneously. In this spirit, I have calculated your probably mix for the coming days: 16 percent relieved, 18 percent innocent, 12 percent confused, 22 percent liberated, 23 percent ambitious and 9 percent impatient.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “What makes you heroic?” asked philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.

Here’s how he answered himself: “simultaneously going out to meet your highest suffering and your highest hope.” This is an excellent way to sum up the test that would inspire you most in the coming weeks, Virgo. Are you up for the challenge? If so, grapple with your deepest pain. Make a fierce effort to both heal it and be motivated by it. At the same time, identify your brightest hope and take a decisive step toward fulfilling it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Actress and musician Carrie Brownstein was born with five planets in Libra. Those who aren’t conversant with astrology’s mysteries may conclude that she is a connoisseur of elegance and harmony. Even professional stargazers who know how tricky it is to make generalizations might speculate that she is skilled at cultivating balance, attuned to the needs of others, excited by beauty, and adaptive to life’s ceaseless change. So what are we to make of the fact that Brownstein has said, “I really don’t know what to do when my life is not chaotic”?

Here’s what I suspect: In her ongoing exertions to thrive on chaos, she is learning how to be a connoisseur of elegance and harmony as she masters the intricacies of being balanced, sensitive to others, thrilled by beauty, and adaptive to change. This is important for you to hear about right now.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’re entering a volatile phase of your cycle. In the coming weeks, you could become a beguiling monster who leaves a confusing mess in your wake. On the other hand, you could activate the full potential of your animal intelligence as you make everything you touch more interesting and soulful.

I am, of course, rooting for the latter outcome. Here’s a secret about how to ensure it: Be as ambitious

to gain power over your own darkness as you are to gain power over what happens on your turf.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I’m a big fan of the attitude summed up by the command “Be here now!” The world would be more like a sanctuary and less like a battleground if people focused more on the present moment rather than on memories of the past and fantasies of the future. But in accordance with the astrological omens, you are hereby granted a temporary exemption from the “Be here how!” approach.

You have a poetic license to dream and scheme profusely about what you want your life to be like in the future. Your word of power is tomorrow.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A philanthropist offered $100,000 to the Girls Scouts chapter of western Washington. But there were strings attached. The donor specified that the money couldn’t be used to support transgender girls. The Girl Scouts rejected the gift, declaring their intention to empower every girl “regardless of her gender identity, socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity or sexual orientation.” Do you have that much spunk, Capricorn? Would you turn down aid that would infringe on your integrity? You may be tested soon. Here’s what I suspect: If you are faithful to your deepest values,

even if that has a cost, you will ultimately attract an equal blessing that doesn’t require you to sell out. (P.S. The Girls Scouts subsequently launched an Indiegogo campaign that raised more than $300,000.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Consider the possibility of opening your mind, at least briefly, to provocative influences you have closed yourself off from. You may need to refamiliarize yourself with potential resources you have been resisting or ignoring, even if they are problematic. I’m not saying you should blithely welcome them in. There still may be good reasons to keep your distance. But I think it would be wise and healthy for you to update your relationship with them.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): More than 10,000 species of mushrooms grow in North America. About 125 of those, or 1.25 percent, are tasty and safe to eat. All the others are unappetizing or poisonous, or else their edibility is in question. By my reckoning, a similar statistical breakdown should apply to the influences that are floating your way. I advise you to focus intently on those very few that you know for a fact are pleasurable and vitalizing. Make yourself unavailable for the rest.

SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF SHASTA IN MATTER OF THE ADOPTION PETITION OF: WYATT JAMES PRINDIVILLEMORERO Adopting Parent Case No.: 14A5547 CITATION TO PARENT THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO: GINGER YOUNG By order of this court you are hereby advised that you may appear before the judge presiding in Department 11 of this court on 9/16/2015 at 4:00 p.m. then and there to show cause, if any you have, why WYATT JAMES PRINDIVILLE-MORERO should not be declared free from your custody and control for the purpose of freeing WYATT JAMES PRINDIVILLE-MORERO for placement for adoption. The following information concerns rights and procedures that relate to this proceeding for the termination of custody and control of said minor as set forth in Family Code Section 7860 et seq.: 1. At the beginning of the proceeding the court will consider whether or not the interests of the minor child require the appointment of counsel. If the court finds that the interests of the minor do

require such protection, the court will appoint counsel to represent him, whether or not he is able to afford counsel. The minor will not be present in court unless he requests or the court so orders.

2. If a parent of the minor appears without counsel and is unable to afford counsel, the court must appoint counsel for the parent, unless the parent knowingly and intelligently waives the right to be represented by counsel. The court will not appoint the same counsel to represent both the minor and his parent.

3. The court may appoint either the public defender or private counsel. If private counsel is appointed, he or she will receive a reasonable sum for compensation and expenses, the amount of which will be determined by the court. The amount must be paid by the real parties in interest, but not by the minor, in such proportions as the court believes to be just. If, however, the court finds that any of the real parties in interest cannot afford counsel, the amount will be paid by the county.

4. The court may continue the proceeding for not more than thirty (30) days as necessary to appoint counsel to become acquainted with the case.

I’ve tried to distance myself from them, but this person literally makes everything about them, and I can’t break free.

Dear Tortured, Parasitical relationships require extermination. Cut them loose—unless it is me and then, sorry, you are stuck with me until one or both of us die. All kidding aside, I have to ask: Why, if you are so tortured, you don’t see a confrontation as necessary? Rip off the bandage and end the friendship. You have tried distancing yourself (obviously not far enough), but that hasn’t worked. You have no choice but to clearly define your boundaries or break up with them. Sorry, there is no easy way to do this. I starred in a short film once where my character invited all of her friends to dinner, laid out an amazing spread, and then with wine glass in hand, toasted all her friends and told her she never wanted to see any of them again. Sometimes one has to make it painfully clear. Hints are for scavenger hunts, not ending relationships. Good luck.
