EDITOR’S NOTE UN-GAGGED The scorecard for Idaho’s right-wing lawmakers isn’t looking so good. Animal rights activists—and fans of the First Amendment—cheered the Aug. 3 ruling from U.S. District Court Judge B. Lynn Winmill overturning Idaho’s so-called “ag-gag” law.

Pushed through amid widespread public outcry during the 2014 legislative session, the bill criminalized undercover recording at big agricultural operations—a naked, and seemingly successful, attempt to silence critics of the brutal conditions that exist in some factory farms.

“Indeed, [the law] not only restricts more speech than necessary, it poses a particularly serious threat to whistleblowers’ free speech rights,” Winmill wrote in the 29-page ruling, which also found that ag-gag violated the Equal Protection Clause.

Idaho was not alone in rolling restrictive anti-recording measures into statute. Utah has a similar law on its books, and a lawsuit is pending in that state as well.

Overturning ag-gag is but one example of the Idaho Legislature’s increasing habit of not only being on the wrong side of history, but the wrong side of the law. From the voter-repealed Students Come First education reforms to the private prison scandals to the Idaho Education Network contract disaster to the child support payment fiasco to the quixotic fight against samesex marriage, a sizeable bloc of Idaho’s elected officials seem either hopelessly corrupt, incompetent or plain stupid.

That may sound unduly harsh, but the current fascination with right-wing fringe policy experiments at the Statehouse is not only counterproductive—taking time and attention away from serious issues like wages, infrastructure, health care and education—but they are costly.

At the end of the day, it’s puzzling what constituency certain legislators think they are serving with these lawsuit-baiting bills and untenable ideological positions. It can’t be taxpayers, because those are the people who are being forced to pay for them.

OPINION

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

OPINION IT’S JUNK, THAT’S WHAT!

‘What does Cope have against the Second Amendment?’

BILL COPE A few weeks ago, my editor received a brief response to a blog I’d written (Mr. Cope’s Cave, “Another Stupid Thing Gun Nuts Do,” July 13, 2015), and my editor forwarded it to moi. In total, the response read: “Hey Zach—You can tell Cope his column was incorrect. The Senate was in recess when Crapo visited Greenleaf. Not sure what he has against the Second Amendment!”

It all had to do with a commentary I’d made on—what I consider to be—a publicity stunt a Greenleaf city councilman has been running since 2006, when he ushered through a city ordinance that encouraged every town resident to own a firearm. Recently, this village official arranged a photo-op with Sen. Mike Crapo and himself showing off a road sign—conveniently provided by the same councilman—meant to alert travelers that Greenleaf is not a “gun free zone.” In case, I suppose, anyone motoring through Outer Canyon County should be in doubt.

I wondered why Sen. Crapo was traipsing around pea-sized municipalities promoting ridiculous mini-events when there were such maxi-matters to attend to back in Washington, and that truly was my error, as the note to my boss pointed out. I apologize for that. Considering this Congress is in recess about three times more often than it’s in session, I should always assume that it’s in recess unless I have specific information to the contrary.

That apology, though, is not why I’m turning the note into a column. The writer implied a legitimate question—What do I have against the Second Amendment?—and I’m glad he presented me with the opportunity to answer it.

After years of arguing that canker sore on the Constitution should be more about “wellregulated militias”—known in modern times as “armies” and “police forces”—and less about the entitlement of obsessive hillbillies and disordered personalities to get their hands on whichever firearms their limited minds take a fancy to, I have come to the conclusion that the amendment in its entirety is junk. Archaic, corrosive, lethal, junk. And the sacrifice we make by not treating it as such is the 30,000-plus casualty count America suffers year after year after year.

It is not the only piece of once-functional fruit gone bad still hanging on in our Constitution. The Electoral College should have been dumped the day telegraph lines were installed.

And whatever wording the Roberts Court found in the First Amendment that prompted it to declare unlimited campaign donations a function of free speech is so obviously flawed, only those individuals wealthy enough to give unlimited campaign donations would not see it as such.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

But nothing quite compares to the Second Amendment for the irreparable damage it has done, and the potential, unimaginable, damage it implies might yet be done. The obsessive hillbillies and disordered personalities have yet to pursue the full range of options the amendment—as interpreted by them—would allow, but I fear it’s only a matter of time. After all, the thing was written based on 18th century realities. Pre-manufactured ammunition had yet to be invented, as had any sort of repeating rifles, tanks, warplanes, machine guns, rocket-propelled grenades, submarines, attack helicopters and tactical nukes. How unreasonable is it to image that any Supreme Court that could entitle corporate entities to the same inalienable rights as individual citizens could also be capable of defining an ICBM as one of the “arms” the citizenry has a “right to keep and bear?”

Fortunately, for most of those obsessive hillbillies and disordered personalities, an ICBM, along with everything else I mentioned after “repeating rifles,” is out of their price range. Yet in this gilded age, when multi-billionaires are so often hard to tell apart from obsessive hillbillies and disordered personalities, how long will it be before a Sheldon Adelson or Donald Trump decides an Apache, a Trident or a Tomahawk missile is indispensable for their self-protection?

Who’s to stop them?

The framers of the Constitution bequeathed us an organic and flexible guide—as evidenced by the mechanisms they provided to amend and expand it as realities change. We can’t fault them for being unable to foresee that 230 years later their words might be putting weapons of mass destruction into the hands of our present-day disgruntled neighbors, disturbed loners and deranged radicals, any more than I would have expected them to anticipate the right of free expression would lead to “Grand Theft Auto” and Fifty Shades of Grey.

They obviously weren’t obsessive, or they never could have agreed on such a sweeping collection of laws, and I refuse to believe they would have expected us to stick to the dictates of their document as gospel, or that the 27 words of that clumsily written amendment was more indispensable than the lives those words have caused to be lost.

If they were half as smart as we give them credit for, and were magically made aware of our modern plague of gun violence, I’m confident they would be the first to question what the hell are we thinking!?... allowing military-grade weaponry into the hands of civilians.

OPINION BACK-TO-SCHOOL Birthdays, hallucinations and hope JOHN REMBER It was a hot day in early July, and the Redfish Bar was dark and crowded. I was in line, waiting to order margaritas. Julie was out on the lawn, finding a shady spot for our lawn chairs. The music would start in a few minutes.

When I was able to order, I told the bartender, “Don’t get your hopes up, but I found a back-to-school flyer at the post office this morning.”

The bartender grinned and shook his head.

But the damage had been done. Summer was over. Not for the bartender, who still had 10,000 margaritas to make—and not for the musicians, for whom Redfish was just a layover between festivals scheduled through September. But with one careless remark, I’d started Julie’s and my countdown to the first day of classes.

Never mind that neither of us has classes to prepare for. Never mind that we’re looking forward to October and November, when RVs and motorcycles and giant diesel pickups stop crowding the highways and fly fishermen in new waders stop crowding the riffles behind the house. Never mind that the autumn skies will be a window into dark blue infinity and the windless autumn silence will make it seem like time has stopped.

Time doesn’t stop, of course, and infinity isn’t for us mortals, even here in Sawtooth Valley. I should have just tossed the back-to-school flyer in the post office wastebasket and said nothing about it. Maybe summer wouldn’t have hit the downslope for a few more weeks.

It doesn’t help that Julie and I start skiing into the Redfish Lake Lodge every December, and we know too well how the empty Redfish lawn looks under drifted snow. After last winter, we know what an ice breakup in February can do to the docks, and we know five minutes is long enough to linger on the frost-feathered beach—after that it’s time to move or risk hypothermia. Winter visions can overlay summer ones, even when you’re looking at new docks, listening to good music and small children are spinning in front of the band while bikinied high-school girls practice volleyball moves in the corners of the lawn.

You can have a moment when everything flashes sepia. Jack Nicholson’s face peers out of the photograph at you, young and full of hope, but you know he’s lost in a snowbank, crazed and frozen.

You’ll forgive me, I hope, if I put back-toschool flyers in a class with LSD and mescaline and other hallucinogens.

A week later, we attended Julie’s grandmother’s 100th birthday party in Oroville, Calif., which required a flight to Sacramento and a rental car that took us through 70 miles 6 | AUGUST 5–11, 2015 | BOISEweekly

of drought-stricken landscape. Lawns were bleached pale yellow where they weren’t gray dust. Groves of trees were leafless and dying. The sky was a dirty blue-white, cloudless and opaque.

We visited the Oroville Dam, at 770 feet the highest dam in North America. It does not have 770 feet of water in it—in fact when you see pictures of the California drought, it’s usually the Oroville Dam that you’re looking at. There are still boats on the reservoir, but they look tiny from the top of the dam. Boat ramps hang high on the reservoir sides, and the tracks of pickups and trailers lead down and down from them to the water. Bridges balance on impossibly tall pilings.

The birthday party was a good time, even though I realized that Julie’s grandmother was born before this country entered the Great War. Her century had seen enough changes that time itself could be considered a hallucinogen.

Julie saw some cousins she hadn’t seen for 15 years and I was introduced to lots of people in their 80s who had been mentored by Julie’s grandparents. I was once again reminded that students graduate. When they come back to see you, they’re old, which seems to violate common sense if not common decency.

Julie’s uncle, who grows almonds, told me he was drilling a 400-foot well at $150 a foot to keep his grove alive. His neighbors were drilling wells, too, all of them chasing the aquifer down.

I ended up playing foosball with the greatgrandkids, and Julie took a picture of me with a look of intense competition on my face, playing against a 6-year-old girl with the same look. She beat me.

We were glad to fly back to Boise, where the lawns are still green, but I started worrying about millions of thirst-racked Californians coming over the Owyhees with their handcarts, and worrying, too, that the drought will expand north. So far computer models of climate change say Idaho will get wetter rather than dryer, but computer models change with every new climate variable, and humanity has lately been supplying lots of those. In the meantime, we welcome every thunderstorm that drops serious rain on the roof.

We were back at Redfish, listening to good music, the next weekend. Fewer school-age children and their parents were in the crowd, and there were more Spending our Children’s Inheritance bumper stickers in the parking lot. Yellow leaves were beginning to show in the lakeside willows. The summer had flown, and even if it wasn’t time to write lesson plans, it was time to maybe get the skis down from the rafters and file the rust off their edges.

A THOUSAND BACKPACKS

The ‘push for perfection’ claims the lives of too many American college students

ACHD says 60 more homes would contribute 600 more vehicle trips per day.

GEORGE PRENTICE Optimism sweeps the nation in August as tens of thousands of American families send eager students to U.S. colleges and universities. Yet, if statistics hold true, the sobering fact is that nearly 1,100 won’t come home.

“Suicide is reality, and it’s the one disease that’s totally preventable,” said Cynthia Mauzerall, director of counseling at the College of Idaho.

The Suicide Prevention Resource Center reports that suicide “is a leading cause of death among college students in the United States” and “suicide and attempted suicide are the tip of the iceberg of a larger mental health and substance abuse problem among college students.”

Those problems surface early. According to the Idaho Bureau of Vital Records and Health Statistics, one in seven Idaho high-school students reported seriously considering suicide, and one in 14 made at least one attempt.

Idaho’s numbers are consistent with national statistics, said Alison Malmon, founder and executive director of Active Minds, which is preparing to send its provocative exhibit, Send Silence Packing, on a fall tour of American college and university campuses. The display invites passersby to walk among 1,100 backpacks, representing the average number of college students who die by suicide each year. Many of those backpacks were once worn by students who took their own lives.

“Just a few weeks ago, I was standing among the backpacks at the University of Alabama at Birmingham,” Malmon said. “A young man walked up to me and said, ‘A year ago, one of these backpacks would have been mine.’ That same night, we received a Facebook message that said, ‘I saw your display. I’ve been thinking of suicide myself.

I’m going to get some help. Can you help me?’”

Malmon’s own world turned inside out in 2000, when she was a freshman at the University of Pennsylvania and lost her only brother to suicide.

“He was a top Ivy League student, editor of the paper and made the dean’s list. But he kept many of his struggles private,” Malmon said. “He thought he was the only one on his campus struggling because there were no conversations about anxiety, depression, suicide, any of these issues.”

That’s when Malmon began a student organization to get her fellow students talking about mental health. After graduation, she continued to BOISE WEEKLY.COM

DEBATE INTENSIFIES OVER 60HOME FOOTHILLS DEVELOPMENT

An exhibition of 1,100 backpacks, representing the number of college students lost to suicide each year, is on a tour of college and university campuses throughout the United States.

grow Active Minds and today, the Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit includes chapters on more than 400 American campuses. To date, more than 300,000 people on campuses in 85 U.S. cities have experienced Send Silence Packing.

The exhibit even caught the attention of The New York Times, which profiled the organization in an Aug. 2 feature story titled “Campus Suicide and the Pressure of Perfection.”

Mauzerall, a counselor since 2007, is now an Active Minds adviser on the campus of the College of Idaho where she’s also about to take over as the college’s new director of counseling. She said there’s a tangible difference between the reasoning and coping skills of college freshmen and seniors.

“We see 18- and 19-year-olds coming to school, very intelligent and very successful. Yes, those are 18- or 19-year-old brains but those frontal lobes haven’t fully developed yet,” said Mauzerall, referring to the problem-solving section of the brain. “As you get older, you access the brain’s frontal lobe more often. That’s when you recognize that a feeling of, say, not being good enough is a feeling that is, in fact, temporary. So, that’s the importance of counseling or a suicide hotline for young people: To start doing some rational thinking. It can really save lives.”

Access to that counseling or hotline has never been more important. In its Aug. 2 report, the Times wrote that “a survey of college counseling centers has found that more than half their clients have severe psychological problems, an increase of 13 percent in just two years.”

Mauzerall’s C of I colleague, Office of Residence Life Director Jen Nelson, said colleges and universities need to rely on the skills of resident assistants at college dormitories more than ever.

“I’m often asked about the qualities of an ideal R.A., and I must say that when I’m hiring,

I’m looking for someone who really likes people in every manifestation—the beautiful and wonderful but also the sad, frustrating, horribly messy things that occur when a lot of people live together in close quarters,” said Nelson.

“Additionally at the College of Idaho, we have first-year mentors living on each floor where first-year students live. But our biggest advantage is our smaller size. For example, if a student doesn’t show up for class a couple times in a row, or even appears down, many faculty members would contact that student or even ask someone to track them down to make sure they’re OK.” The student body is considerably larger at Boise State University, where enrollment is around 22,200 compared to C of I’s approximate 1,100. Because of that, Boise State officials said ample safety nets take on a special urgency.

“Some of the most significant stressors for our students can come in that first transitional year,” said Karla West, director of counseling services at Boise State. “I think we’re constantly striving to be better as a culture, but we still have a lot of work to do to destigmatize depression, anxiety and even suicide—and take care of our emotional health as much as our physical health.”

In particular, West points to QPR, shorthand for “Question, Persuade and Refer,” as a methodology for mental health intervention.

Boise State caregivers are hoping QPR becomes as commonplace as CPR for saving lives in their community.

“We initiated QPR training in late 2012,” West said. “We’ve trained 30 other trainers and they, in turn, have trained about 600 faculty and staff. ” Occasionally, a referral might lead to 8 the Idaho Suicide Prevention Hotline, which is now available at all hours.

The Ada County Highway District Commission meeting on June 24 stretched to nearly four and a half hours, with nearly half of its 100 attendees weighing in on a new subdivision proposal near the Boise Foothills.

The development would include building 60 new houses on a stretch of land between the end of 15th Street and Braemere Road in the Boise Highlands. The houses would sit along the edge of the Crane Creek Golf Course.

According to ACHD Public Information Officer Craig Quintana, adding that many houses also means adding nearly 600 more trips per day through the streets of the Highlands, primarily Braemere Road and 15th Street.

“The vast majority of people spoke against it,” Quintana said.

One particularly passionate voice against the Highlands Cove Subdivision is Krista Lyons.

She has lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and most days, she walks her yellow Labrador, Clyde, through an area where the proposed development would be built.

Lyons pointed out that 15th and Braemere are steep roads with blind corners and driveways. More importantly, they are teeming with children and bicyclists.

“These roads were not built to have this kind of traffic,” Lyons said. “I love this area. I would hate to lose it and so would a lot of other people. This is the central foothills; it’s the backdrop to the city.”

The development would also relocate a portion of a dirt road, unofficially known as an extension of Eighth Street, to accommodate three houses. If the homes are built, the road would have to be moved closer to Hulls Gulch.

When public testimony at the June 24 meeting finally ended after 10:30 p.m., ACHD commissioners directed staff to look into some of the traffic concerns raised by residents.

ACHD staff are expected to present their recommendations to the commissioners at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 5.

“We closed public testimony at the first hearing, but people are still going to want to talk again. The last one was pretty intense,” Quintana said. “We don’t have a rooting interest here, honestly. We don’t care if it goes in or not.

We just have to deal with the aftereffects.”

This summer’s industrial waste cleanup at Esther Simplot Park will cost $5.5 million.

INDUSTRIAL WASTE PULLED FROM SOON-TO BE BOISE PARK When the city of Boise started construction on Esther Simplot Park, no money was allocated for cleaning up the site. Once construction crews started digging to create new ponds, they found a surprise.

“Everything from drums with petroleum, concrete, machinery, a tractor,” said city of Boise spokesman Mike Journee. “We’re talking about a lot of material here. Because it contained petroleum, it contaminated the soil, too. This was not expected at all.”

To help clean up the site, located near the Boise River Park, the Boise City Council had to arrange for $4 million to come from the General and Solid Waste funds. The Simplot family donated another $1.5 million to help.

It’s not that the city started building a park on this location blindly. There were soil samples taken from a depth of 15 feet, but nothing tipped off the city to what lay below the surface.

“This is an unfortunate legacy,” Journee said. “It was not seen as a natural resource to be protected for many generations, and this is where we are now. We’re committed to cleaning it up, working with the Simplot family and building an amazing park there.”

Aaron Scheff, with the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, echoed Journee’s observations, adding that the mentality in the 1950s and 1960s was simple: Want to get rid of it? Bury it.

“You never quite know what you’re going to get,” Scheff said. “Things could have been a lot worse. If those piles were full of hazardous materials, $4 million wouldn’t have even come close.”

The DEQ has been working with the city to take 140 tests of the soil samples in order to determine if the dirt can be taken to the Ada County Landfill or if it needs to be taken to the U.S. Ecology site in the Owyhee desert. It’s been approved for the lined section of the city dump and now there’s almost 70,000 yards of materials to move.

“That’s 70,000 small pickup beds stacked on top of each other,” Scheff said. “It’s like moving a big building.”

Each truck carries 20 yards—meaning there will be about 3,500 trips made from Whitewater Park Boulevard to the landfill this summer.

NEWS HOW TO SAVE SALMON FROM DYING IN THE RIVER A step-by-step guide to protecting the endangered sockeye JESSICA MURRI

As wildlife managers scramble to save the salmon, they fear this is the new normal.

First, you scoop the sockeye salmon from its holding tank, then toss the fish into an anesthetic bath. The salmon splashes around for about 90 seconds before the chemical-laced water sedates the fish. If you leave your hands in for too long, you might even feel the tingle yourself. The fish is then weighed, measured and given a shot of antibiotics before the corner of its fin is clipped for genetic sampling.

That’s the step-by-step process at the Eagle Fish Hatchery, where the Idaho Department of Fish and Game has been collecting sockeye salmon in danger of dying as Idaho’s streams and rivers rise to dangerously high temperatures. The iconic bright-red fish are considered an endangered species in the Gem State.

As of Aug. 4, Fish and Game had trapped 47 sockeye on the Snake River at the Lower Granite Dam—an eight-and-a-half-hour drive from the hatchery. One team catches the salmon and drives them to Grangeville, then another team swaps trucks and drives the fish the rest of the way to the Treasure Valley.

Those salmon will wait until early September, when Fish and Game will truck them to their natural spawning grounds at Redfish Lake.

“This saves them half the journey [to Redfish Lake],” said Mike Peterson, a biologist at

Fish and Game who has overseen the captive salmon breeding program for almost a decade.

“It saves them 425 miles and 5,500 feet of elevation. These fish definitely got a boost.”

Fish biologists throughout the region noticed something was seriously wrong with the Pacific Northwest salmon population after this summer’s heat spell brought water temperatures to almost 80 degrees. Between 50 and 90 percent of the migrating salmon are expected to die this season.

Peterson said it’s still too soon to tell how few salmon will return to Redfish Lake.

For Greg Stahl, the news is distressing but not particularly surprising. As the salmon campaign coordinator for Idaho Rivers United, he works to raise awareness of the endangered fish and keep them from the brink of extinction.

“This is a disaster, and it’s a pretty enormous disaster,” Stahl said. “But it’s a predictable one.”

Stahl said one reason the region’s rivers are so unusually hot this year is because there’s little to no snowpack. He said another part of the problem comes from the eight dams salmon must cross while traveling 900 miles.

“Salmon would have struggled this year even if there were no dams on the rivers and no Europeans ever stepped foot on the continent, but dams help heat the water further,” said Stahl.

“It’s a stagnant tank of water that has more surface area hit by the sun.”

As wildlife managers scramble to save the salmon, they fear this is the new normal.

Peterson hopes not.

“I’m hoping this year is a fluke, one of those 100-year events and it’s something that may be changed down the road,” Peterson said. “I don’t know what we’re going to see in the future. I don’t like to think about it.”

Even if every salmon died on its migration to the spawning grounds this year, the species would be OK. Fish and Game has a complex, diverse population of almost 3,200 sockeye salmon living at the Eagle hatchery.

Peterson said these fish are exceptional because even though they’ve never been outside of their large gray tanks, when put into a natural environment they find their way to the same spawning ground as wild salmon.

Stahl is pretty impressed by the fish, as well.

“The beauty of the salmon is they evolved to overcome these kinds of hurdles,” he said.

Trapping at the Lower Granite Dam will continue through Aug. 5, when fish migration slows. While only 47 have been trapped, another 400 salmon have made their way past the dam and will hopefully make it to Redfish Lake within the next 30 days.

“We’re 24/7 now,” said ISPH Director John Reusser, who plugged the Idaho-based hotline back into service in 2012 after six years without funding.

“The hotline has already surpassed 2,200 calls this year and in 2014, we had about 2,800 calls for the entire year,” he said.

Nearly a quarter of the callers to the ISPH said they were 24 years old or younger, while 30 percent of all callers didn’t report any age.

“Idaho is among some of the highest suicide rates in the nation. We’re 44 percent higher than

the national average, and that includes a good many young people,” said Reusser. “There’s a tremendous pressure on kids to succeed.”

Reusser stressed how any significant cultural change must begin with education and plenty of conversation, which is why his organization will be taking advantage of the upcoming World Suicide Prevention Day on Thursday, Sept. 10.

The Idaho hotline will launch a new chat service, which means someone might access help from work, school or home instead of looking for privacy to make a phone call. Additionally, Reusser

said the Idaho hotline will recognize World Suicide Prevention Day through something unique featuring tattoo artists from the Treasure Valley.

When we first looked into your case there was one report last February of the original allegations, but no media had reported the outcome of your trial when you beat the state of Idaho.

It was quashed. The Statesman wouldn’t touch the story.

RE

M

He told us that if he could afford it, he would take cases such as yours all the time.

Let’s put it this way: He certainly changed my mind about lawyers.

DIANA CANFIELD

The star witness talks about her personal IDOC hell GEORGE PRENTICE There are advocates, there are whistleblowers, and then there’s Diana Canfield, the woman who blew the lid off of the Behavioral Health Unit of the Idaho State Correctional Institution. In both Ada County and U.S. Court, Canfield detailed what she said were illegal—even immoral—practices inside the BHU. The veteran caregiver and one-time clinician for the Idaho Department of Correction said harassment and bullying from her supervisors had “gone on way too long for me to stay there.”

When she resigned, her former bosses threatened to have her social work license revoked. Canfield fought back. Hard.

Earlier this year, Canfield told an Ada County Court jury that medical notes she had placed in prisoners’ files had been altered and, in some cases, destroyed. She also painted a particularly ugly picture of IDOC’s frequent use of so-called “dry cells”—empty rooms with no beds and only a hole in the concrete floor for use as a toilet. The jury agreed with Canfield that IDOC’s actions had been improper, awarding her $3,000 in back pay and $75,000 more for what her lawyer, Andrew Schoppe, later characterized as “the hell she went through.”

Canfield became a star witness in a subsequent federal court hearing in which the state had to answer to those allegations and more, detailed in a series of Boise Weekly reports. Canfield now lives in Arizona, but returned to Boise for the hearing in late-July. Following her testimony, BW sat down with Canfield on the steps of the U.S. Courthouse to talk about her ordeal.

Can I assume that when you first started working at IDOC’s Behavioral Health Unit, you had a fair amount of optimism and enthusiasm for your work?

Absolutely. I remember the day of my interview at the prison, hearing the gates clang behind me, and I thought about how much I would love my work there. The inmates are raw.

If you gain their trust when they’re at the lowest of the low, they can truly be helped. I remember a client who was behind bars for life for murdering someone when he was 17 years old. That’s when I created a so-called lifers’ group for men convicted for life to talk about things.

For the past few weeks we’ve been hearing more about the use of dry cells, and I think a lot of citizens are stunned at their use.

They should be stunned. Nothing’s in that room: no bedding on the floor. Nothing. Just a hole in the floor. I wouldn’t put an animal in there.

Someone thinks they’re appropriate.

Do you honestly think that a dry cell would 10 | AUGUST 5–11, 2015 | BOISEweekly

make anyone any better if he was suicidal? To strip them of all of their clothes and throw them onto a concrete floor with a hole in it? The best practice in mental health care is to put someone like that in the least restrictive environment possible.

I know that we’re still waiting for the judge’s verdict on this, but do you think there will be any significant fallout from these findings?

Honestly, no.

Yet you were quite successful in Ada County Court.

That was surreal. It blew me away. I was in tears. It restored my hope in humankind.

But the reason you and I are sitting on the steps of the federal courthouse is because your case triggered this hearing.

If it wasn’t for my attorney, Andrew Schoppe, none of this would have happened. He’s brilliant and he hasn’t charged me a dime.

On more than one occasion I have thought about your story as a movie.

Andrew Schoppe should play himself. Who should play me? Probably someone younger.

My sense is that IDOC tripped up when they tried to go after your license when you left.

Their biggest mistake was to fuck with me.

Honestly, I was prepared to leave it all behind and start over. But they kept coming after me and I said, “Enough.”

I’m presuming that many of the questions you were asked here in federal court were familiar.

It’s interesting, when I first took the stand in Ada County Court, my lawyer, Andrew, never prepared or rehearsed me. He wouldn’t tell me what questions he would ask. He just wanted me to tell the truth.

Can we talk about incarceration in America?

Too many of our men and women are behind bars, yes?

Way too many.

But that’s not changing anytime soon.

Where is your hope for our system of corrections?

The system was built by good people, but unfortunately it now includes sadistic people, too— people who insist on having power over other people who are less fortunate. I know a lot of your readers don’t like to hear that, but it’s true.

Each time Boise Weekly writes about the prisons, I’m certain we lose a good many readers.

That makes no sense. We could all be there.

Who doesn’t know someone who has been locked up or struggled with substance abuse?

Have you thought about what you’re going to do with all of this baggage from your time at IDOC? Are your going to put it on a shelf?

It never leaves me. It definitely changed me. I was fighting for my fellow clinicians, the inmates and the entire correction system. But for now, I’m prepared to stay as far away from Idaho as I can.

EVERMORE PRINTS The idea behind Carissa Sindon’s photography project, SEEN, is exploring how easy it is for people to pass each other without even noticing one another.

“When we walk down the street, we miss each other,” Sindon said. “We don’t pay attention, and we don’t really care. Well, everybody has a story.

Everybody is going through something.”

Sindon’s portraits, (which we wrote about in our April 29 edition), feature people standing in an alleyway and holding something important to them. She took pictures of a cross-section of residents, including a boy scout, a Shriner, three transgender women, a yoga instructor and a father.

To accompany her photos, each of her subjects had to finish the following statements: “I WAS ____,” “I AM ____” and “I HOPE TO BE ____.”

One subject said, “I WAS unbalanced.” Another said, “I AM alive on the road.” Another said, “I HOPE TO BE a fabricator. I hope to make beautiful and useful things.”

Sindon received a grant from the Boise City Department of Arts and History to complete the project and the exhibition will hang at Evermore Prints (780 W. Main St.) through the month of August. First Thursday marks the opening of the show, 5-9 p.m. Beer and wine will be served.

Celebrating 20 years of literary love.

THE CABIN The Cabin celebrates its 20th birthday on First Thursday, 5:307:30 p.m. You can party down with local authors, writing teachers and Cabin founders, with music provided by local band Urquides.

The agenda includes a tour of The Cabin (801 S. Capitol Blvd.) and readings by local authors Judith Steele, Christian Winn and student writer Cody Martino. A few seasoned writing teachers will be on hand to help kids through some fun and quick writing prompts, and if that’s not enough to get you there, Style Me Cake is bringing cupcakes.

“We have a lot to celebrate,” said Executive Director Britt Udesen (who is leaving at the end of August for a similar job in Minnesota).

“We have a firm commitment to access—80 percent of our programs are offered free. We have one of the best lecture series in the Northwest. We offer classes for readers and writers at all levels. We support writers in the community.”

The event is free, but Udesen hopes to generate a little bit of money. She said an anonymous donor will give a $20,000 gift for The Cabin’s 20th birthday, but only if it can match the $20,000 with other donations.

Come out of your shell for this Hermit Music Festival preview.

THE RECORD EXCHANGE The Hermit Music Festival, set for Sept. 4-6, could be described as old-time bluegrass with a mix of Irish, Basque, Hispanic, honky-tonk and some singer-songwriter-y stuff in there.

Thanks to the Record Exchange (1105 W. Idaho St.), music lovers can hear what that sounds like without waiting for this year’s festival. The Record Exchange is hosting a Hermit Music Festival showcase at 6 p.m., with free beer from Payette Brewing Co. and local bluegrass band Idyltime at the in-store stage. Tickets to HMF, which goes down at the Indian Creek Winery, will be available for sale and a handful of weekend passes will be given away during the show.

“It’s a cool festival, if you’re into good old-fashioned, oldtimey music and the fringe roots scene going on here in Boise.

It’s got a lot of great local and regional acts,” said Record Exchange Marketing and Promotions Director Chad Dryden.

Welcome to the jungle.

ISF: KING LEAR

‘ALICE’S RESTAURANT’ 50TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR

SNOOZE AT THE ZOO

William Shakespeare’s epic tragedy King Lear is a tale of bad succession planning and even worse elder care.

OK, maybe it’s more than that, but the gist is that Lear decides to divvy up the kingdom between his three daughters based on how much they love him. Two flatter him into an inheritance but the the third won’t play ball. He banishes the honest daughter and moves in with his duplicitous spawn, who decide he’s a doddering duffer and start treating him like garbage. All does not end well.

Idaho Shakespeare Festival presents King Lear, opening Friday, Aug. 7 and running through Thursday, Aug. 27. If you have kids, make sure to only bring your favorite(s).

Friday, Aug. 7-Tuesday, Aug. 11; 8 p.m., 7 p.m. Sunday; $12$44. Idaho Shakespeare Festival, 5657 Warm Springs Ave., Boise, 208-336-9221, idahoshakespeare.org.

To this day, Arlo Guthrie says he’s stunned “Alice’s Restaurant” was ever released as a single recording in 1967. When radio stations across the United States began playing his 18-minute musical monologue chronicling an anti-Vietnam War incident at a Massachusetts eatery, a legend was born—even inspiring a film by the same name.

A half-century later (the actual incident occurred on Thanksgiving Day, 1965), Guthrie will bring the Alice’s Restaurant 50th Anniversary Tour to the Morrison Center, Saturday, Aug. 8. Guthrie rarely plays “Alice’s Restaurant” live any more, even though many American radio stations still play the tune as an annual Thanksgiving Day tradition. This year’s tour also promises a few other Guthrie classics, including “City of New Orleans” and “The Motorcycle Song.”

8 p.m., $35-$80. Morrison Center, 2201 Cesar Chavez Lane, 208-426-1609, mc.boisestate.edu.

When night falls over Zoo Boise, it becomes a different place.

The armadillos trek around their habitat, the owls come to life and the eyes of the snow leopards shine. At Snooze at the Zoo, families get the chance to experience the zoo after dark.

“You can hear the lions roaring all the night,” said Zoo Boise Director of Development Liz Littman. “The primates become very vocal in the morning.”

Participants in the zoo’s sleepover can bring their own tents and sleeping bags or stay in the safari tents near the primate center. An evening snack is provided, as is breakfast the next day.

When the sun rises, zookeepers will lead tours of the animals’ morning rituals. Advanced registration is required.

Saturday, Aug. 8-Sunday, Aug. 9; 7 p.m.; $45-$50. Zoo Boise, 355 Julia Davis Dr., 208-608-7760, zooboise.org.

MICHAEL GRAY, SONGS FOR THE DYING Michael Gray has been a musician for about 20 years. He picked up a guitar his freshman year of high school and has been playing ever since. But strumming a six-string was never the thing that excited him most.

“I never wanted to be a great guitarist,” Gray said. “It was a means to put some chords together.”

What Gray felt most deeply about was writing and composing, something that comes through on his debut release, Songs for the Dying.

Gray wrote all the songs and recruited a team of local musicians to help him carry out the production. Despite a reluctance to boast, Gray brings energy to both his facebook.com/michael.gray.94064 guitar-playing and lyric-writing on the album.

“I think everything I write, there’s parts of me in it, things I’ve experienced personally. It feels more magical, like I’m tapping into the ether somewhere, and I’m a conduit for the song,” Gray said.

“They’re out there, and I get to tap into them and bring them into existence.”

Gray explained that although he does get inspired at times, the idea for a song is often triggered by chance.

“I’ll write the song or write the lyrics and then it’ll be a couple months before I go, ‘Oh, this is what this is about,’ and I see this experience I had or this conversation I had,” Gray said.

The exception to that is the song “Deplorations (6/4).” Gray wrote that track after being with his grandmother as she passed away. The album title partially reflects that experience but also addresses existence.

“I think all of us, in a way, are dying or have experienced death, whether it’s abuse or depression or heartache,” Gray said. “There are these moments that feel like death and darkness and so my concept behind the title was these are songs that deal with these kinds of issues and are for all us in a way … because all of us have experienced those kinds of things. Probably everyone can relate to a lyric, a line, a mood or a feeling.

AA5: HILLSTOMP, AUG. 5, GROVE PLAZA A name like Hillstomp should give you some idea of what to expect. In this case, you’re probably wrong because if you haven’t heard the self-described “bucket ’n’ slide brand rock ’n’ roll” duo from Portland, Ore., your expectations will be blown away.

Seeing Hillstomp live is like having one of those mind-bender moments where your brain can’t sort out sensory input. Henry Hill Kammerer and John Johnson look like a couple of regular guys. The minute the first chord strikes, though, it’s like all the air is sucked out of the room and replaced with the intensity of a tent revival run by a punk preacher. Using an arsenal of guitar, banjo and bucket drums, Hillstomp transforms Americana/mountain music into highspeed, high-adrenalin songs that make you feel like your molecules are moving. This is an Alive After Five show you don’t want to miss.

REVOLT REVOLT, AUG. 5 AND 8, RECORD EXCHANGE AND NEUROLUX When Boise Weekly caught up with local musician Chris Bock in May, he and his Revolt Revolt bandmates were wrapping up a new EP, Wild Unraveling (4:44; Aug. 4, 2015). It has been a few years since Revolt Revolt released new music and with Wild Unraveling, the band “built on steady tempos, roaring guitars and plaintive tunes of its earlier releases.” Bock said although Revolt Revolt had recorded a full-length album’s worth of music, the band didn’t have the tracks and didn’t want to wait for them. Instead the band recorded new songs, a process that went more smoothly than Bock might have expected.

“I have to say, it was probably one of the funnest records—if not the funnest—that I’ve done,” he said.

Be part of the Revolt Revolt revelry this week with two Wild Unraveling release shows. The first is a free, all-ages, special release preview at Record Exchange on Wednesday, Aug. 5. Then, ratchet up the fun again on Friday, Aug. 8, at Neurolux.

TRUE TALENT Boise Weekly visits an all-transgender modeling shoot and talent call

Artist Richard Herdegen worked 80 hours per week for more than a year to finish his mural.

LOCAL ARTIST WITH PARKINSON’S DONATES MURAL TO ST. LUKE’S The lobby of the St. Luke’s Children’s Hospital in downtown Boise recently became much more colorful. Now hanging on the wall is a large, 12-panel mural filled with images of hot air balloons, fireworks, flowers, children playing, fluffy clouds, a rainbow and more.

It is unique in a couple of ways: The mural is made up of about 90,000 pieces of glass an was created and donated by local artist Richard Herdegen, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2010.

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that causes tremors and stiffness. For Herdegen, creating the mural presented some challenges.

“Fine motor control is really hard. My tremors are exaggerated when I get nervous, and some of the things I do make me nervous,” Herdegen said, referring to using a torch to melt glass. “I haven’t gotten burnt yet, and I really don’t want to.”

Herdegen found inspiration for much of the mural in the work of local illustrator Bruce Day (brucedayink.com), with many elements of the mural taken directly from Day’s illustrations.

He made 200,000 glass beads and spent a year and a half working on the mural, putting in around 80 hours per week.

“Most of my characters on the mural were made of fused glass,” he said, running his fingers through a bowl of light pink glass beads.

Fusing glass requires stacking the pieces, then melting them in a kiln to create different colors and shapes.

Gregory Janos, the soon-to-be retired executive medical director of St. Luke’s Children’s Hospital, said Herdegen’s mural has had a big impact on the hospital’s atmosphere. Janos is a longtime advocate for integrative healing, which involves a holistic approach to healing the mind, body and spirit. “[The mural] is a centerpiece,” Janos said.

“When people come into a foreign medical place, they’re able to see it there and it makes them feel comfortable already. … It’s inviting, gives them something to do and it’s welcoming.

“Drawing is the kind of communication children use,” he added. “Long before they’re printing their names, they’re drawing pictures. … Having something they’re familiar with is critical.”

HARRISON BERRY Nikki Jamesson was one of the last aspiring models ushered into the conference room on the 11th floor of the Banner Bank building. It was late afternoon, but the way she swung her braceletbedecked arms showed energy and confidence.

Sitting on the other side of the table, Transcendence Icon Founder Amy Icon flipped through a photo album and listened to Jamesson talk about how a photo taken of her at Boise Pridefest 2015 sparked her interest in modeling.

“That’s part of the reason I wanted to get into modeling—I wanted to show my authentic self,” she said.

Jamesson is one of 28 transgender people who turned out for Transcendence Icon’s model and talent search at the Banner Bank building July 25.

The company, which bills itself as the world’s first all-transgender and transexual modeling and talent agency, brings together an industry focused on flawless beauty and people who, by their nature, challenge assumptions about beauty.

While Icon isn’t explicitly an activist organization, each of its models, in his or her own way, is an activist. For Icon spokesmodel Aiden Warrior, modeling is about helping other transgender people become themselves. “My passion is to help people find their passion,” he said.

Warrior began receiving hormone injections when he was 26, long after he’d developed breasts and a feminine facial structure. The hormones helped him grow a light-colored chinstrap beard, stabilize his moods and bulk up his muscles, but he lamented not learning about medical options for trans people, like hormone blockers, sooner.

Sitting in one of the plush chairs in Amy Icon’s corner office overlooking downtown Boise, Warrior, who works as a taxidermist and has been profiled in The New York Times, observed that none of the applicants coming through the agency’s door that afternoon were wearing branded or logoed clothing—their clothes reflected their own fashion sensibilities, rather than consumer culture.

It heartened him that so many of the models attending the talent call were young people exploring their gender identities at an early age.

“These kids won’t have the scars I do,” Warrior said, referring to the physical scars he bears on his chest. “I can never get my childhood back.”

Despite his difficult younger years, Warrior has come into his own—both personally and professionally. As a member of the Cherokee tribe, Warrior has been cast in the leading role in

Andreja is one of four models featured on the company’s website, including owner Amy Icon.

a feature-length film about Native American trans people, the title of which is being kept secret.

Transcendence Icon has more than 20 clients that range from authors to household-name clothing retailers and film production companies. As the visibility of trans people grows, the company finds itself at the nexus of a larger conversation about who transgender people are and how they’re poised to change American culture.

At the Banner Bank building, models chatted, took selfies and, one by one, posed for photos taken by Icon’s brother, Eric Marlett. Marlett works at T-Mobile, and the customer service experience, he said, helps him keep models at ease.

“You want to get in there and keep it casual,” he said. “I’ve been able to see people come out and be comfortable with who they are.”

That can be a challenge. Many transgender people suffer from body dysmorphia—the persistent belief that they suffer from some aesthetic flaw—and stepping in front of a high-resolution camera requires bravery on his subjects’ part and sensitivity on his. Marlett quickly ushered models in front of the white screen he’d set up in the lobby, and each shoot lasted about five minutes.

Over the course of the afternoon, he expected he would take 400-500 photographs.

Near Marlett’s snapshot station sat Tim Trantham, father of model DW Trantham. He wore a gray suit with a red shirt and sneakers—the same suit he wore when he testified this year before the Idaho House State Affairs Committee in favor of adding “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” to the state’s human rights law.

Trantham hadn’t always been such a staunch supporter of LGBT rights. He recalled being upset when, as a child, DW became interested in dolls and later came out to her father as a woman.

His transformation into an activist began after a

work injury put him behind a desk. One day, out of “boredom,” he said, he typed “transgender” into the Google search bar.

“When I learned the facts about being transgender, I vowed to change,” he said. “It’s a transition for the whole family.”

According to the Williams Institute and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, the rate of attempted suicide among the general population is approximately 4.6 percent. Among gays, lesbians and bisexuals, that rate jumps to 10-20 percent. According to a survey from the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and the National Center for Transgender Equality, that rate is much higher for trans people: A staggering 41 percent. The suicide attempt rate was highest among trans people who were 18-24 years old (45 percent) and multiracial (54 percent).

Trans people also experience rejection by their families and systematic violence: 54 percent of respondents reported being bullied or harassed at school and 57 percent reported their families choosing not to speak or spend time with them.

Trantham said he became more sensitive to his daughter’s mental state. He removed sharp objects from the house and put away photos of DW from before her transition. He sent her to school wearing a “bully cam.” More importantly, Trantham said, he kept his daughter’s mind occupied with improving the lives of other trans people.

DW and her father have been deeply involved in trans rights groups and initiatives, and modeling plays a major part in their shared activism. For Trantham, the journey toward being a good father to his daughter has been inward, as well. He still slips up with pronouns and the process has sometimes been slow. Still, his perception has evolved.

“In the eyes of the world, she’s transgender; but in my eyes, she’s my daughter,” he said.

Gin is in. Try a tipple or two (or four).

DECISIONS, DECISIONS: DRINK GIN, CRAWL TO PUBS, READ A WILD BOOK Some say gin almost destroyed English society in the early eighteenth century. When the clear, botanical-spiked liquor was first imported from the Netherlands, demand for “jenever”—or “Madam Geneva”—triggered what historians call the Gin Craze. Because of its low price, gin became the drink of choice among the English lower classes, who were so permanently plowed that Parliament instituted a series of public crackdowns rivaled only by today’s War on Drugs.

Thankfully, both the drink and its drinkers have evolved. Today, gin is experiencing a renaissance, rising to “beat vodka as the spirit of the age,” according to UK newspaper The Independent.

That renaissance is in full swing at Juniper Kitchen and Cocktails (211 N. Eighth St.), which recently launched daily gin flights. For $10, tipplers can choose four half-ounce gin pours from among 25 varieties. Get more info at juniperon8th.com.

If your plans for Saturday night are a toss up between binging on Netflix or lurking on Facebook, maybe it’s time to replace indecision with bad decisions.

HomeGrown Theatre is hosting its Night of Bad Decisions on Saturday, Aug. 8 ,to give ne’erdo-wells a chance to crawl through some pubs while supporting local art.

The benefit, which costs $12 per person or $50 for a team of five, sets off from The Olympic at 5 p.m. and staggers to Mulligan’s, 10th Street Station, Woodland Empire Ale Craft, Tom Grainey’s and Spacebar Arcade before washing up back at The Olympic. Along the way, participants will complete tasks, overcome challenges and complete a scavenger hunt—it’s a requirement that acts of “badassery, boldness and reckless abandon” not only take place but be documented. Drink specials will be available for bad decision makers, and an awards ceremony is slated for 9:45 p.m. at Mulligan’s. More info at facebook.com/HGTheatre.

If you’re looking to make a good decision with your hard-earned cash, take a gander at Chef in the Wild (Caxton Press, May 2015) the debut book by author and sometimes Boise Weekly food writer Randy King.

Though it contains recipes, Chef in the Wild is much more than a mere cookbook. Filled with essays and photographs exploring King’s life-long love of the outdoors, Chef in the Wild explores the art and science of food culled from the countryside. As it says on King’s website (chefrandyking.com), the book is “a combination of ‘how to’ acquire food and ‘why to’ acquire food.” Get your hands on a copy at Rediscovered Books (180 N. Eighth St.) or order online from Caxton Press (caxtonpress.com).

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.

ORU KAYAK The idea of water sports and the ancient art of Japanese paper folding coming together in a symbiosis of form and function seems improbable. Impossible, even. It is, however, neither…

Behold the Oru Kayak.

As the story goes, designer and Oru Kayak co-founder Anton Willis found inspiration for what $1,275-$2,850 would become a foldable kayak orukayak.com after he had to put his beloved fiberglass boat in storage, reading about advancements in origami, prototype testing and raising $444,000 of an $80,000 goal on Kickstarter.

The Oru Kayak is “made of 5mm double-layered custom extruded polypropylene” and when not in use, can be folded into a 29 by 32 by 13 inch carrying case (with a shoulder strap), which weighs about 26 pounds. The Oru is lightweight and durable, and it is built to withstand 20,000 folding cycles. Just don’t get clever and try to fold it into a crane.

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.

IN THE DISTRICT COURT FOR THE FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT FOR THE STATE OF IDAHO, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF ADA IN RE: Gaven Robert Velasquez.

Legal Name of child Case No. CV NC 1511807 NOTICE OF HEARING ON NAME CHANGE (Minor)

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Charles de Lint is a novelist whose stories are influenced by folklore, myths and science fiction. In his book Yarrow, a wizardly character named Toby is skilled at conjuring.

He can make small objects appear and disappear, for example. But Toby yearns for more. “I want to be magic,” he says. “I want to be a friend of elves and live in a tree.

I want to marry a moonbeam and hear the stars sing. I don’t want to pretend at magic anymore. I want to be magic.” If you have ever wished for a comparable upgrade, Aries, now is an unusually favorable time to work on it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): An imaginative Welshman named Liam Bennett has developed a “dausage,” which is a blend of a doughnut and sausage. One of his most requested treats is pork meat stuffed with strawberry jelly. Even if this novel blend doesn’t appeal to your taste buds, it serves as a good prompt for my advice: The coming weeks will be a favorable time to expand your notion of what types of nourishment are fun and healthy for you. I mean that in the metaphorical as well as the literal sense. Experiment with new recipes, both with the food you provide your body and the sustenance you feed your soul.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In the woods, living matter isn’t

segregated from the decaying stuff. Rotting tree trunks are host to teeming colonies of moss.

Withered stems of ferns mingle with cheerful saplings. Audacious mushrooms sprout up among scraps of fallen leaves. The birds and beetles and lizards and butterflies don’t act as if this mix is weird.

They seem to be at peace with it. I suspect they thrive on it, even exult in it. That’s the spirit I suggest you adopt as you enjoy the paradoxical mélange of your life in the coming weeks, Gemini. Celebrate the mysterious magic that emerges as you simultaneously fade and flourish, decline and increase, wind down and rise up.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Here are some tips on being the best Cancerian you can be: 1. Cultivate your sensitivity as a strength. Regard your emotional vulnerability as a superpower. 2.

Nurture yourself at least as much as you nurture others. 3. Learn to know the difference between your golden hunches and the glimmering delusions that your demons stir up. 4. Be kind, but don’t be exorbitantly nice. 5. Remember that others’ unhappiness is rarely your fault or responsibility. 6. Keep reinventing the way you love yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “What are the best things and the worst things in your life, and when are you going to get around to

28 | AUGUST 5–11, 2015 | BOISEweekly

whispering or shouting them?” This question was posed by Leo author Ray Bradbury in his book Zen in the Art of Writing: Essays on Creativity.

Even if you’re not a writer yourself, you will benefit from responding to his exhortation. It’s one of the best things you could possibly do to activate your dormant creativity and intensify your lust for life. This is one of those times when working with your extremes is not only safe and healthy, but also fun and inspirational. So do it, Leo! Get excited and expressive about the best and worst things in your life.

together voluntarily to help each other achieve a shared goal. It may also be an agreement to provide mutual aid: I help you do what you need to have done, and you help me with my task. Gotong-royong also implies that we enjoy working together. The emotional tone that we cultivate is affection and care.

By sharing a burden, we lighten the load that each of us has to bear. I bring this to your attention, Libra, because it’s the gotong-royong season for you and yours. Be the ringleader who initiates and sustains it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It’s time to leave behind the golden oldies. You’d be wise to tiptoe away from tradition, give the ghosts of the past one last kiss goodbye and wean yourself from nostalgia for the good old days. Frankly, my dear, you’ve got numerous appointments with the future, and it would be a shame to miss them because you’re mucking around with memories. In the coming weeks—for that matter, in the coming months— you’re most likely to thrive if you become an agent of change. And the most important thing to change is your relationship to the person you used to be.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In one of his poems, Jack Gilbert mentions “the incurably sane,” who are “uncrippled by beauty” and “unbutchered by love.” When I read those lines, I felt a surge of protest. Is there a single person on the earth who fits that description?

No! I was miffed by such starryeyed idealism. Later, though, as I studied the astrological omens for you Scorpios, my attitude softened.

I realized that the coming weeks may be a time when many of you will at least temporarily be incurably sane, uncrippled by beauty and unbutchered by love. If you’re one of these lucky ones, please use your blessed grace to spread an abundance of blessed grace everywhere you go.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In Indonesia, the term gotong-royong is defined as the “joint bearing of burdens.” In practice it means that you and I and our allies get

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you’re not skirting the edges of

the forbidden zone, you’re playing it too safe. If you’re not serving as a benevolent mischief-maker for someone you care about, you’re shirking your duty. Your allegiance should be with X-factors and wildcards. You will thrive to the degree that you cultivate alliances with mavericks and instigators. Are you shrewd enough to mess with timetested formulas? Are you restless enough to rebel against habits that stifle your curiosity?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): How to be a Capricorn, according to my Capricorn reader Sadie Kennedy: When you are younger, take yourself too seriously. Look and act older than you actually are as you serve what’s most practical.

Sacrifice fun and frivolity, working doggedly to achieve the goals you yearn for, until you reach some level of accomplishment. Then realize, as if struck by a thunderbolt, that fun and frivolity have practical value. Begin to age backwards like Benjamin Button as you balance work with play and discipline with leisure. Enjoy the fruits of your intense efforts as everyone tells you how relaxed and supple and resilient you are becoming.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Cracking open the shell of a softboiled egg is a tricky task. You must be firm enough to break the shell but sufficiently gentle to avoid making a mess. If you live in Germany,

you have access to a metal instrument that provides just the right measure of soft force. It’s called an Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher, translated as “soft-boiled egg shell cracker.” Your assignment in the coming weeks is to cultivate a talent that is metaphorically similar to an Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher. I believe you will need that blend of sensitivity and power on numerous occasions.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Americans often regard Cuba as impoverished and backwards.

There is an element of truth in their prejudice, primarily because the United States has imposed a stifling embargo on the Caribbean nation for more than 50 years.

That’s why, for example, many Cubans drive cars that were manufactured in the 1950s. But I wonder how my fellow citizens would respond if they knew that in some ways Cuba’s health care system is better than America’s.

The World Health Organization recently congratulated Cuba for being the first country on earth to eradicate the transmission of syphilis and HIV from mothers to babies.

Can you identify a metaphorically similar situation in your personal life, Pisces? Are there people you regard as inferior or undeveloped who could teach you an important lesson or motivate you to grow?

Now is a perfect time to benefit from their influence.

SPE AKING AT PRES S E VENT WITH U.S . SEN .

Dear Minerva, My manager drives me nuts. We are the only two in a small office, two to three days a week. She talks almost non-stop: to me, to herself, to the universe. I have mentioned it to her, but it hasn’t solved the problem. I’ve tried ignoring her and blocking the noise, but nothing is working. Any advice would be appreciated.

—Silence is Golden

Dear Silence, One of the sad things about the world today is having to spend eight-plus hours a day in close, inescapable quarters with those we work with. It troubles me on a regular basis, and I think quality suffers. Unfortunately, it’s a reality that we don’t have much choice but to accept. She is your manager and love her or hate her, she calls most of the shots. Maybe encourage her to take the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test, and then make it a team-building exercise to understand a bit more about each other’s styles. Perhaps since you are a small office, she would see the importance of designating office space for each of you. Don’t feel too bad. I happen to have a close personal friend who works with a person who can’t stop clipping their fingernails and flossing right in the middle of the office—at least you aren’t being bombarded with nail clippings and dental debris. Best of luck.
