EDITOR’S NOTE WE HAVE MET THE SHARK, AND HE IS US It took about five years for me to be convinced that sharks didn’t live in Lake Pend Oreille. It’s a big lake and, for a kid, it seemed possible any number of beasts could dwell in its depths.

I blame Jaws, of course. As a child in the ’80s, I first saw the movie while visiting relatives in Los Angeles. My uncle, who at the time worked in the film industry, had all kinds of interesting trivia to share—and not just about the mechanics of the big shark.

When Quint gets bitten in half toward the end of the movie, I naively asked why blood came out of his mouth, rather than his stomach. My uncle, ever informative, gave me a crash course in abdominal trauma. Later, safe in my bed in north Idaho, I couldn’t stop thinking about the killers I suspected were prowling the waters around Sandpoint, silently waiting to spill my viscera.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of Jaws, with a special screening set to take place Aug. 20 in the pool at the Boise Racquet and Swim Club (see Screen, Page 19), and while I’ve long since been relieved of my fear that sharks patrol the waterways of the Northwest, there are real dangers below the surface.

A week or so ago, crews working with the Environmental Protection Agency on mine cleanup accidentally spilled an estimated 3 million gallons of tainted wastewater into Colorado’s Animas River, turning it a putrid orange. Since then, two Colorado counties have declared states of emergency as water testing shows sharp increases in pollutants like arsenic.

Closer to home, two dogs have reportedly died in as many months after ingesting water in Payette Lake and near Hulls Gulch in Boise. The causes of their deaths are still under investigation, but one necropsy found what appeared to be algae in one of the animals’ stomachs.

As summer winds down and Idahoans seek relief from the heat in nearby lakes and rivers, the Snake River Waterkeeper is trying to help keep swimmers safe. On Page 18, Boise Weekly Staff Writer Harrison Berry reports on the Waterkeeper’s Swim App, which ranks the health of various bodies of water around southern Idaho.

Some of the assessments are scarier than any shark.

ASK BILL ABOUT IT Dick TDonald BILL COPE To that big plop of pig poop Bill Cope who stands for everthing what America DON’T stamd for, I got one word for you, you lousy libtard lump of licky loser lard. PREISDENT DONALD TRUMP! Now dont’ that make your sphnicter clinch up and your lips get all quirvy? That’s what you said last letter what you like to do to patriotist Republcians when ever you said ‘Preisdent Hillary Climton.” and now I can do it5 back. PRESIDENT DONAKLD TRUMP!!! HA HA HA I know you hate him for what he stands for everthing you hate, being such a anti-white MAN, anti-rich people, inffeminant loser, but youd’ better get used to seeing him on the news everday because he will win all the primarys and cocksus and then kick the peewaddling out of you’re Hiallry in ever state there is and become president! We will finaly have a presdient who will make America great again, un like you’re Barrack Obama which made America the laughing sock of the whole world. Donald Trump is the smartest MAN who can see how much rape is going on from all those Mexcans what are running around, and he will turn those ISLIS Muslims into sand jam because he’s not a Munich appleaser like your’e Kenya baby Obama.

So there you go, Cope, you punky pinko piss ant perved-up puke. When DONALD TRUMP is presidnet, you can say good riddance to your Obamacare, your commy Cubaner buddys, you’r gay marrages, you ayatoller friends in Iran, your Lily Ledbelly Act, your abortions, your femnyists, youranti-gun tiranny, your war on Cristmas, yourMBNSC, your Plant Parenthood, because he will get rid of them ALL! That’s what Donald Trump will mean to you, you sadsack Barney Sandler snot clot. HA HA HA!!! How does it feel?, you boring buttball blowwad of rotted socialism brain butter! HAHAH A!!!!—signed, Dick from Homedale ••• My oh my, Dick. I didn’t realize you have such a knack for alliteration. I can’t decide whether my favorite is “lousy libtard lump of licky loser lard,” or “punky pinko piss ant perved-up puke,” but in some circles, either one would be considered sheer poetry. Too bad the only “poetry” you people have over there on the right is that infantile cowboy junk.

Now, about Donald Trump. Believe me, Dicky, I understand what a thrill it is to make statements I know will infuriate the other side. I’ve been doing it for years. In fact, I began this column to do just that very thing—infuriate right wingers.

And it’s been so easy. Sooooooooo easy. For instance, all I have to say is “gun nuts,” and I can sit back and enjoy the rising steam. It’s like I have my own private Old Faithful. There are so many ways to do it. “Ronald Reagan was a lying, crooked, moron who almost made Richard Nixon look good.”

Or, “Once these stupid tea baggers all croak, we’ll add Barack Obama to Mount Rushmore.” Woo-ee, it’s like I can hear their testicles grinding together the minute I get the words on paper.

And look, it’s not that I believe Barack Obama shouldn’t be on Mt. Rushmore, or that Reagan wasn’t a lying, crooked moron. Or that gun nuts aren’t nuts. But it’s no fun saying it to other “boring buttball blowwads of rotted socialism brain butter,” because, of course, they already know it. No sir, the pleasure is in saying it to you guys. Like the crack I made earlier about “infantile cowboy junk”— truth is, there wasn’t a reason in the world to say that, except to get the cowboy poets crowd hot.

So yeah, I get it. “PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP” would indeed give us lefties the “sphnicter clinch” and “quirvy” lips... if we thought for a second there was a chance it might come true. But Dicky, it takes more than an absurd fantasy from the drooling Republican base to scare reasonable people. By picking the most hated man in America as the nominee, simply because he is the most hated man in America, you guarantee he will never be president. It’s like that sexy daydream you have of seducing ... say, Angelina Jolie. It just sets you up for the worst kind of failure in the real world.

But let’s just pretend for the moment that, miraculously, Donald Trump did become president—that he got through the primaries and “cocksus,” and that during the campaign, it came out that Hillary actually did get those guys killed in Benghazi and Bernie Sanders dropped out and went to live in Cuba, and that all the other Democrat candidates were proven to be insane, or child molesters, or bank robbers or something, and the only one left was Trump.

Do you even know what you’d be getting, Dick? Does anyone really know what goes on in this asshole’s head? After all, there is absolutely no consistency to anything he says, no evidence of thoughtfulness behind his thoughts, no integrity to any of his claims, no hint that he is capable of real governance and no substance to his character. Certainly, we all agree, he is the exact opposite of Barack Obama. But is that the only qualification your sort need to replace Obama?

If it is, you’re not patriots. You’re children.

By the way, one of the methods I use to get conservatives riled up is to make up imaginary characters who exemplify the sheer stupidity coming from the right. In other words: You, Dick, are a device whose only purpose is to enrage those of whom you are an exaggerated representation.

Hey, not that I don’t believe real conservative characters are any smarter.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

OPINION THE PARK OF DEATH Don’t waste time on the other rides JOHN REMBER In 1953, the satirist Robert Sheckley wrote “The Seventh Victim,” a short story about an alternate America where murder is legal. People sign up to kill a randomly assigned person. If they succeed, someone is randomly assigned to kill them.

If they kill the person hunting them, they get to hunt again. It’s a neat system of alternating offense and defense, and you have to be good at both to become a Ten. Being a Ten means you’ve hunted down and killed 10 people and killed another 10 who were trying to hunt down and kill you. Talk-show appearances and corporate sponsorships follow.

The story describes a world without war, because a quarter of the human race has signed up for this scheme. They’re the same people who would have become hawkish politicians, defense industry CEOs, genocidal dictators, suicide bombers, strike-breaking governors and religious leaders ladling out purple Kool-Aid. Instead, they’re out gathering heads—human heads—for their walls. Struggling liberal arts colleges are being supported by thriving new taxidermy departments. Because the people who need to kill are busy killing each other, countries are being run by conscious and empathic and honest people.

Alas, it’s fiction, and science fiction at that.

But given the news from Zimbabwe about poor old Cecil the Lion, I’m thinking that Sheckley’s 60-year-old idea has substance. Who knows what atrocities the Ohio dentist Walter Palmer would have committed if he hadn’t taken down Cecil with his crossbow? Who knows what monsters trophy hunters anywhere would become if they were denied the psychic release of turning live flesh and blood into a wall mount? If Vladimir Putin had been photographed holding a crossbow in one hand and a dead snow leopard in the other, might a Malaysian airliner have landed safely in Kuala Lumpur? If Adam Lanza of Sandy Hook or James Holmes of Aurora had been enrolled in a hunting ethics course that emphasized you should only kill people who are trying to kill you, might they have become students of the hunt rather than of the kill?

However grotesque, these are neither fictional nor idle questions. As a child, I met the clients my father guided elk and deer and mountain goat hunting, and even then could recognize them as people who were spending lots of money for help in finding something they lacked. They returned with their trophies to lives without authenticity, without self-awareness and—judging from their frequent divorce-announcing Christmas cards—without love. In retrospect, the buckets of their bucket lists had holes in their bottoms, and trophy hunting was an attempt to experience BOISE WEEKLY.COM

something bigger than the holes.

You can condemn Walter Palmer’s luring an old pet lion out of a wildlife sanctuary and killing him with a crossbow. You can say that nothing authentic can come out of that experience. But you cannot say that his life as a dentist wasn’t authentically desperate. Staring into a 10,000-mouth abyss would make me want to kill something, I’m sure. Any peace of mind for Walter Palmer must have required that he do something terribly real with the money he’d traded his God-given life for.

As Walter Palmer must have figured out, killing something is an act authenticated by the death of whatever it is you kill. Judging from Internet postings, a lot of wildlife-lovers would like to do something authentic with Walter Palmer.

Here in Idaho we have an opportunity to implement a pilot project that would ease the pressure on Walter Palmer and whatever African species he might go after next. It will also invigorate Idaho’s rural economy.

Butte County is already lobbying to have the Craters of the Moon National Monument transformed into a national park, and I propose that we go a step further and make it the nation’s first Park of Death, where hunters and victims can play hide-and-seek. We can dress it up by calling it Luna de los Muertes National Park, which is a lot more poetic than Craters of the Moon anyway. It will also certify the area as a lethal landscape, where you can die from getting lost, falling into deep holes or heat stroke, among a bunch of other things. Put even a small percentage of the Visit Every National Park crowd in that environment and you’ll have monthly body counts.

Better to put razor wire around the place and legalize human trophy hunting. Arm both predators and prey and set them loose on the inside.

You’ll have a Cabela’s in Arco before you know it, and a fine-dining Pickle Palace annex, and maybe a LigerTown franchise. Drones will capture the action and broadcast it to the new, tourist-packed Atomic City Amphitheater. It will be a combination of going through the Serengeti, without the danger and discomfort of riding in an open Land Rover, and visiting the gladiatorial games in Rome, without the inconvenience of having to learn Latin.

Best of all, humans are not yet an endangered species, and letting them hunt each other in the Craters will not cause damage to the Earth’s climate, nor cause any species to go extinct. It will undoubtedly garner the kind of smarmy apologists who say hunting is the salvation of wildlife, and for once they’ll be right.

Welcome to the federally protected Boulder-White Cloud mountains.

BOULDER-WHITE CLOUDS NOW DESIGNATED WILDERNESS It took more than 40 years of advocacy work to permanently protect the Boulder-White Cloud mountains. On the morning of Aug. 7, President Barack Obama signed the Sawtooth National Recreation Area and Jerry Peak Wilderness Additions Act—formally designating 275,665 acres in the Boulder-White Cloud mountains of Central Idaho as wilderness.

While it took a lot to get there, Chuck Mark, forest supervisor for the Salmon-Challis National Forest, said the hard work has just begun.

“Now it’s implementation time,” Mark said.

Land managers from the Salmon-Challis National Forest, the Bureau of Land Management Challis branch, the Sawtooth National Forest and the Sawtooth National Recreation Area need to collaborate to form three separate wilderness management plans.

The bill divvies the mountains into three wilderness areas: the Hemingway-Boulder Wilderness (67,998 acres), the White Clouds Wilderness (90,769 acres) and the Jim McClure-Jerry Peak Wilderness (116,898 acres).

Mark said the bill mandates the management plans be in place in the next three years.

He has already started conversations with other land management agencies, but said the bulk of the planning will take place over the winter.

“The two toughest tasks will be: No. 1, the management plans and, No. 2, marking the boundaries,” he said. “That is always a tough task with wilderness areas because of the topography and the roughness of the country.

The boundaries don’t always follow a ridge line or a creek, they’re just mid-slope.”

Marking those boundaries with signs should start next summer, but even though the signage isn’t yet in place, the area is officially wilderness and will be treated as such. Mark said his rangers won’t ticket people right away for using mountain bikes or motorized vehicles, but there will be a heavy education component and enforcement will follow.

Another challenge comes from grazing rights. The bill allows grazing to continue in parts of the wilderness by those who have been grandfathered in, but operations may change; motorized vehicles are no longer allowed.

“The clock has started ticking since the president signed,” Mark said.

COURTESY OF TE RRY REILLY FAMILY

NEWS BLUE COLLAR CARE, GOLD STANDARD CARING

How Terry Reilly continues to support the underserved GEORGE PRENTICE Theirs are the eyes of hope. In a black-andwhite photo from 1971, Rosie and Terry Reilly are sitting on the stoop of their Nampa home, smiling and full of optimism. Above their heads hang two handwritten wooden signs. One reads “Nampa Neighborhood Health Clinic,” the other, “La Clinica.”

“We needed to keep urine samples in our refrigerator, much to my mother’s horror,” Rosie said of those early days. “This is a far cry from that first clinic in the back of our house.

Rosie Reilly spoke with Boise Weekly earlier this summer and her eyes twinkled as they probably did when she was 20-something in that blackand-white snapshot taken nearly 45 years ago. She looked over her shoulder to see people streaming through the doors of a new 30,600-square-foot medical and mental health facility, also in Nampa, bearing the name of her late husband. Before summer’s end, Terry Reilly Health Services would break ground on another medical, dental and mental health clinic, this time in Caldwell. Terry Reilly officials told BW they’re already moving forward with plans to reopen a health clinic on the Boise Bench and have a separate renovation scheduled for a mental/dental facility campus in the Owyhee County community of Homedale.

To date, Terry Reilly Health Services operates in a dozen Treasure Valley communities. It’s a matter of fact that no other name in Idaho can be attributed to more compassion, caregiving and life-saving treatment than that of Terry Reilly.

While St. Alphonsus and St. Luke’s medical centers continue to grow via massive real estate deals and acquisitions, Terry Reilly Health Services is the very model for health centers that serve medically underserved urban and rural and urban communities.

“I remember opening the clinic in our living room as if it were yesterday. Our son, Gabriel, was 2 1/2 years old, and I was pregnant with another son, Aaron,” said Rosie, as Aaron, Gabriel, their

Decades later, Terry Reilly clinics offer care throughout the Treasure Valley.

wives and a handful of Rosie’s grandchildren stood nearby.

Terry Reilly was a conscientious objector at the height of the Vietnam War. As a result, the Roman Catholic Diocese asked him, as part of what was then called “alternative service” to assist the farmworker community of Canyon County.

What began as tutoring for children, quickly became healthcare as Terry and Rosie noticed serious ear infections. They recruited the assistance of Drs. Bob LeBow and Clarence McIntyre to help out and, soon enough, the growing need for services inspired Terry, Rosie, the physicians and a handful of volunteers to open a slightly bigger clinic at the Square Deal Grocery Store, also in Nampa (that building is still the site of a neighborhood clinic). Clinics in Homedale, Kuna, Marsing and Parma followed as did dental and behavioral health services.

More than a few people wonder what Idaho might look like today if Reilly had lived to fulfill what eventually led to political ambitions. He died in a 1986 plane crash while campaigning to become Idaho lieutenant governor.

“I thought I had married Don Quixote,” said Rosie.

Heidi Traylor has her own memories.

“I came to this organization in 1992 and had the great fortune of growing up with Terry Reilly Health Services. They took a chance on me when I was a grad student,” said Traylor, who first walked in the door as an intern, but then served as a therapist, program director for SANE Solutions, administrator of Allumbaugh House and ultimately executive director of the organization in 2012. “I don’t think it’s every day that you can find a place that you call home.”

It’s difficult to get Traylor to sit down for any length of time. If she’s not planning for the future, she’s opening the doors of yet another clinic or health facility. Some take a bit longer to open their doors than the rest. Case in point: Allumbaugh House, where Traylor managed operations when it first opened.

“This year, we’re celebrating the fifth anniversary of Allumbaugh,” said Boise Mayor Dave Bieter, who knows all too well how challenging it was to wrangle enough Treasure Valley partners to fund a new community detox center. It took the better part of a decade just to get partners, such as Ada County, the Boise City/Ada County Housing Authority, the city of Meridian, St. Al’s and St. Luke’s, to the table. Asking them to commit to funding the facility’s operation was like pulling teeth. In one particularly nasty bit of tension, Ada County even threatened to pull its contribution to Allumbaugh House during a 2010 kerfuffle over magistrate court services that it provides to regional cities. Five years later, it was all smiles as Bieter stood alongside Ada County Commissioner Rick Yzaguirre this summer to celebrate five years of service at Allumbaugh House.

“Once we got the funding set, that was great,” Bieter said. “We put out a request of proposals. But honestly, we worried, ‘What if nobody shows up?’ Well, it was Terry Reilly Health Services. This is the best taxpayer value of any service that I’ve been involved with.”

Trini Demarco knows every inch of Allumbaugh House, as a client and now as a caregiver.

NEWS FROM BOISE TO CUBA

“Pushing homeless individuals into the criminal justice system does nothing to break the cycle.”

DOJ TO BOISE: ‘ANTI-CAMPING’ ORDINANCE IS ‘POOR PUBLIC POLICY’ The city of Boise insists it is rare local shelters are at capacity, therefore justifying its socalled “anti-camping ordinance,” under which it tickets homeless individuals for sleeping on Boise streets. However, it didn’t stop the U.S. Department of Justice from sending a warning to Boise on Aug. 6, saying “Criminally prosecuting those individuals for something as innocent as sleeping, when they have no safe, legal place to go, violates their constitutional rights.”

In its so-called “statement of interest,” the DOJ zeroed in on the lawsuit Bell vs. City of Boise, which was filed by a group of homeless individuals in 2009 and is still being litigated.

Specifically, the DOJ statement criticized Boise’s anti-camping ordinance as “poor public policy” and a violation of the Eighth Amendment, particularly when there is insufficient shelter space.

“Sleeping is a life-sustaining activity,” the DOJ wrote. “If a person literally has nowhere else to go, then enforcement of the anti-camping ordinance against that person criminalizes [him or] her for being homeless.”

Boise’s homeless population was hit with a wave of warnings and “no camping” citations during summer 2014 as the number of displaced people grew to record levels under the Boise Connector along Americana Boulevard.

The city’s anti-camping ordinance, Section 9-10-02, states it is illegal to store “personal belongings ... using tents or other temporary structures for sleeping in an authorized area [streets, sidewalks, parks or public places].”

Vanita Gupta, head of the Civil Rights Division and principal deputy assistant attorney general for the Department of Justice, said, “Needlessly pushing homeless individuals into the criminal justice system does nothing to break the cycle of poverty or prevent homelessness in the future. Instead it imposes further burdens ... and it can have long-lasting and devastating effects on individuals’ lives.”

City officials pushed back fast.

“The premise of the filing is incorrect,” said Mike Journee, spokesman for Boise Mayor Dave Bieter. “Officers keep close tabs on what service resources are available and, every opportunity they get, they encourage those experiencing homelessness to take advantage of those resources.”

Idahoans filling humanrights tours to Cuba SHANNON HELLER

As the half-century freeze on relations between the United States and Cuba experiences a thaw, Boiseans will soon have the opportunity to visit the once-forbidden island nation.

In an advertisement published Aug. 5 in Boise Weekly, the Wassmuth Center for Human Rights invited readers to “Visit Cuba!” through three trips offered in 2016 through a partnership with Globus Travel and licensed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. “[The trips] are designed as a day-to-day interaction with people,” said Dan Prinzing, executive director of the Boise-based Wassmuth Center. “It’s not pointing fingers at a country, but interacting with them.”

The Wassmuth Center, home of the Idaho Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial, has been involved in several international projects during the past several years, including trips to Myanmar and Cambodia. Prinzing said many of the center’s donors became interested in visiting Cuba soon after President Barack Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro hinted at normalizing relations between their nations. Diplomatic ties were reestablished July 20, when the U.S. and Cuba raised each other’s flags at embassies in Havana and Washington, D.C. Soon after, Cuba opened its borders to American tourists, and Prinzing said his group jumped at the opportunity.

“It’s been an interesting process,” Prinzing said.

“You have to get everyone registered, and you still have to wait for Cuban government approval.”

The U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control also insists tour groups study new rules governing travel in Cuba and stick to a specific itinerary.

Prinzing said much of the attraction of traveling to Cuba stems from the fact that the nation has been a “forbidden fruit” for Americans.

“Our trip will be more of an immersive experience,” he said. “I think there’s a really high intrigue with that.”

The center has already organized trips for January, February and March 2016, and the first two have already sold out. As Boise Weekly was going to press, only 12 slots were still open for the March 2016 visit. All three have now been officially approved by the Cuban government.

The $5,008 price tag includes airfare from Miami to Cuba, nearly all meals, visa, lodging, trans-

portation, guides, fees and gratuities. The price does not include airfare from Boise to Miami.

“It’s so helpful when you’re actually meeting the people,” said Prinzing. “When we talk about universal human rights, it’s important to remember that they’re just that: universal.”

Prinzing said although he’s still unsure about how censorship might play a role in the group’s discussions, it’s something they will address on the trip, which he added will include a discussion on book censorship at a Cuban library. The tour groups also plan to meet with artists, architects and tobacco-rollers at various stops around the country. Travelers will also visit famous locations such as the Bay of Pigs Museum and Revolution Square. Prinzing said he expects the group to talk plenty about human rights in Cuba.

“I cannot see how [human rights] issues won’t come up in our conversations,” he said.

quickly spiraling out of control. Most of my 20s and my 30s are a blur,” Demarco 6 told Boise Weekly during a rare tour of the facility. “My first drink was when I was 12; I remember it to this day. I also remember getting sober because it was here five years ago.”

Simply put, Allumbaugh House saved Demarco’s life. Today she’s a recovery coach and psychiatric technician at the facility.

“Honestly, it keeps me sober,” she said. “On Saturday nights, Allumbaugh alumni gather with current patients and we share. Usually, outsiders are not allowed to the unit to protect the privacy of the patients, but Saturday nights are incredibly special. It’s all about new beginnings” “New beginnings” are also the watchwords in Caldwell at what will soon become Hope Plaza, including a shelter for women and children

escaping family violence, a day care and youth center. The first facility on the campus, which will sit at 14th Avenue and Elgin Street in an underserved neighborhood of north Caldwell, will be a new 6,700-square-foot Terry Reilly medical center.

“We were thrilled when we secured the federal funds to bring in another clinic. But that money came with a catch,” Traylor told BW, standing in a giant dirt lot where the clinic will appear in the next several months. “We had to be operational within 120 days. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to ask, ‘What’s the plan, Heidi?’”

The plan is that a temporary building has already been placed on the site to begin offering primary medical care, and some dental care, this fall.

“I expect our team will be out here providing

services by mid-August,” she said. “Then we’ll be building the new facility and will open in six to seven months.”

As if that wasn’t formidable enough, Traylor said Terry Reilly Health Services is finalizing plans to renovate a building near Latah Street and La Cassia Drive, near Monroe Elementary School on the Boise Bench.

“We’ve already turned in a grant application to bring that facility on line as early as January.

We already own the building but we need to modernize it,” said Traylor. “The future? We’re renovating our Homedale facilities. We have two separate buildings for medical and dental.

We need to make that one. That will happen next spring. After that? Who knows? I’m always asking myself, ‘Am I doing what Rosie and Terry wanted when they started this journey?’”

Wassmuth Center Executive Director Dan Prinzing: “It’s so helpful when you’re actually meeting the people.

When we talk about universal human rights, it’s important to remember that they’re just that: universal.”

How about your own kids? Are they athletic as well?

My son is an offensive lineman at Baker University in Kansas, plus he wrestles. This summer, he got an internship to do what I do on a naval base in Japan—he’s getting a degree in sports facility and athletic management. My daughter is heading to Baker as well this fall. She throws the hammer, discus and shot put. She’ll compete at a national level.

PAULA EKINS

Boise Parks and Rec’s queen of the pools GEORGE PRENTICE It was a near-perfect summer day in Boise.

Temperature: 87 degrees. Parents: smiling. Kids: laughing. The water: crystal clear. The backdrop at Ivywild Pool in southeast Boise was ideal for a conversation with Paula Ekins, aquatics coordinator for the Boise Parks and Recreation Department.

“I started working at Boise pools when I was 16,” said Ekins, who is one of six children.

“That’s when I started as a lifeguard.”

That was 1990. Since then, Ekins has hired hundreds of Boise teens—the first job for many of them—to protect and mentor tens of thousands of kids each summer. She is also in charge at the Fort Boise Community Center so, at the height of summer, it’s a rare opportunity to get her to sit down. Boise Weekly recently scored a poolside chat with Ekins as scores of kids gleefully splashed in the water on what had to be one of the best days of summer 2015.

I’m presuming that you have fond memories of being around pools as you grew up.

I practically lived at the Fairmont Pool [near Fairmont Junior High]. When I was 16, I remember telling a friend that I was going to be George one day: That’s George Scott. He was the head of pools back then. I ended up working for him for 22 years.

Were you around water through much of your childhood?

I think I was 5 when I joined a swim team. I specialized in individual medley races, plus the butterfly and breaststroke. I played a lot of soccer growing up, plus basketball and track. Back BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Can you trace your own career through many of Boise’s pools?

In 1990, I started as a lifeguard. When I was 17, I became a swim teach coach. I would come back and work at the pools when I was home from college each summer. In the summer of 1995, I became the swim team coordinator. We have over 1,200 kids on our swim teams, and I would be at every swim meet, nearly every weeknight. In 1996, I worked at the then-brand new West Boise YMCA Aquatic Center. I went to full-time in 2003 and, in 2012, George Scott retired. That’s when I took over as aquatics manager.

Your prediction came true: You finally did become George.

Additionally, I’m the facilities manager at the Fort Boise Community Center.

Speaking of which, that’s an incredibly busy place.

We just started an older, active-adult program.

Older active adults?

Those are baby boomers who don’t want to go to a senior center. These are seniors who like to go zip-lining. Plus they go on beer tours, winery tours, you name it. That program is really popular.

Back to the pool. Is being a lifeguard still the best job in town for a teenager?

The impact you can have on kids is really something, and being a lifeguard really jumpstarts a career ladder. The one thing about lifeguarding is that you’re almost always employable. Even when our kids go off to college, nearly every university has an aquatic center.

Is it difficult to get a job as a Boise lifeguard?

Not really. For example, this summer we had a lot of applications but a lot of openings. About every five or six years, we get a fair amount of turnover, but we have great retention overall.

How young can a lifeguard be?

You can take the test at 15 and be hired at 16.

And how old?

All of our managers are lifeguards, and our oldest is 51.

How many lifeguards do you have at the six city pools?

One hundred and twenty-five this summer at the six facilities.

Speaking of the facilities, there has been some conversation at City Hall about changes to some of Boise’s older pools.

The pools at Lowell Elementary and South Junior [High] are showing their age. I understand that they’re historical, but at some point, you can’t keep throwing money into a Pinto.

That would be the Ford Pinto, the ’70s era automobile.

Remember the Pinto? It may have been your first car, but come on. At a certain point, you need to stop throwing money into it. Lowell and South were built in the early 1950s.

But if you took those pools away…

We wouldn’t take a pool away without replacing it. It may not be exactly where the existing pool is, but it will definitely be in that neighborhood.

What’s the most difficult part of managing a pool?

The possibility of drowning. We’ve never had any drowning at a Boise public pool. Have we had near-misses? Yes. Were they 100 percent attributable to parents not watching their kids?

Absolutely. Does that mean they had intended for anything to happen? Of course not. But do kids walk away? Heck, yeah. There has to be a heightened sense of awareness of danger around the water But when I look out on this pool, I see fun.

What do you see?

I’m always looking around and asking: What if? What if? What if? A pool isn’t a playground.

What if you thought of a body of water as a kidnapper? It’s actually a bit more deadly, because it’s silent. Idaho is constantly among the highest rates in the nation for drownings. It’s due, in large part, to our irrigation canals. That said, I must say we do an amazing job at our pools across the Treasure Valley.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but another summer is almost gone.

The pool at South closes Aug. 15, the pools at Fairmount and Lowell close on the 16th, Ivywild and the Natatorium close on the 23rd, and we’ll keep the Borah Pool open until Labor Day, Sept. 7.

BOISE CLASSIC MOVIES: LABYRINTH For those fortunate enough to remember the weird mix of joy and terror that comes with a first viewing of Labyrinth, the experience can be relived on Aug. 13 at The Egyptian Theatre.

For those who don’t know what a Hoggle is—or who have never seen a farting swamp—now is your chance to take in this bizarre ’80s “children’s” movie, directed by Jim Henson and starring Jennifer Connelly and David Bowie, the latter as the glam-rock villain.

No matter your familiarity with the realms of the Goblin King, you’ll leave the theater with a renewed appreciation for puppets and a few questions about what’s going on in Bowie’s pants.

Though it flopped at the box office, the “dance magic” of Labyrinth has stood the test of time.

Portland, Ore.-based Fruition mixes the essential Pacific Northwest folk/bluegrass/Americana ingredients and layers it with good-natured vagabond swagger. It’s a familiar flavor that goes down easy.

Fans of the flannel-and-banjo scene have probably run across Fruition at one time or another. The string-dominant quintet has kept good company in some of the region’s biggest rooms, touring and collaborating with the likes of Leftover Salmon, Elephant Revival and The Head and The Heart. Meanwhile, Fruition has played the High Sierra Music Festival, Crystal Ballroom and The Fillmore in San Francisco. The band will add Boise’s Grove Plaza to that list at Alive After Five on Wednesday, Aug. 12, joined by local opener Stoneseed.

SISTER SPARROW AND THE DIRTY BIRDS, AUG. 13, RECORD EXCHANGE; AUG. 15, TOUR DE FAT Sister Sparrow, a.k.a. Arleigh Kincheloe, spent her teenage years singing and dancing in the alleyways of New York City—her brother, Jackson, and his harmonica never far behind. The siblings decided to take their soulful sound to the next level and created a seven-piece band complete with guitar, bass, trumpet, saxophone and drums.

Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Birds’ music conveys some serious NYC pride and sounds like the late-Amy Winehouse backed by a full brass band. SSATDD has played Bonnaroo, the Telluride Jazz, the Harvest Jazz Festival, Austin City Limits, the Jazz and Heritage Festival in New Orleans and now, they’ll land in Boise.

There are two chances to catch SSATDD: Thursday, Aug. 13, at a Record Exchange in-store performance and on Saturday, Aug. 15, on the Tour de Fat mainstage at Ann Morrison Park. Both shows are free.

RECREATION SWIM-WHERE

The annual Outdoor Retailer show in Salt Lake City draws 45,000 attendees.

IDAHO SENDS INVITE TO OUTDOOR RETAILER SHOW Idaho House Assistant Minority Leader Mat Erpelding can see Boise as a future home of the Outdoor Retailer convention, which brings 45,000 attendees to Salt Lake City every year.

His vision might be more realistic now than ever, as the Salt Lake Tribune reports that the Outdoor Industry Association is considering moving the convention.

Utah continues to spend millions of dollars fighting the federal government over a state takeover of public lands, and OIA is growing wary of holding the show in Salt Lake.

“It seems to me that as the Outdoor Industry Association looks at both the economic and political ramifications of Utah’s movement to seize public lands, it’s increasingly not in the association’s interest to associate itself with states that have that much animus toward outdoor recreation in general,” Erpelding said.

Erpelding spent the summer of 2014 traveling around Idaho as part of the Legislature’s Federal Lands Interim Committee and found Idaho residents did not like the idea of the state controlling federal lands. He said the biggest worry he heard was the state can’t afford to manage the lands, so they would be sold off to the highest bidder and logged or mined. Since the committee’s report came out, Idaho has backed away from the idea of a federal lands takeover. Utah, however, has not.

Erpelding carried a piece of legislation during this past session to invite the Outdoor Retailer show to move to Idaho. The resolution passed in both the House and the Senate.

“I really thought that Idaho—with its history with Frank Church and the development of wilderness and the development of wild and scenic rivers—should be one of the states that the Outdoor Retailer looks at,” Erpelding said.

Even though Boise doesn’t have a convention space large enough to host the event, Erpelding is sure that if the OIA made the commitment to Idaho, the state could “come up with the resources” to make it happen.

“That’s like the Olympics for Idaho,” he said.

“That’s how much money the Outdoor Retailer brings to Utah. It’s $40 million in one week. It is just massive.”

According to the Tribune, OIA is considering moving the convention to Las Vegas; Chicago; Dallas; or Orlando, Fla. —Jessica Murri 18 | AUGUST 12–18, 2015 | BOISEweekly

Looking for a safe place to take a dip? Snake River Waterkeeper has an app for that.

HARRISON BERRY

F.S. Buck Ryan had been picking up litter from campsites and conducting water quality tests all morning along the South Fork of the Boise River. The tests were designed to provide a snapshot of the effect the small town of Pine had on the river’s health; picking up discarded beer cans and fish bait tins was community service. His work finished, Ryan jumped headfirst into one of the perks of his job: Fly fishing. But unlike many visitors to this reach of the Sawtooth National Forest, Ryan wasn’t fishing for sport.

“This data can be used for policy work and litigation,” he said. “Fishing gives me citizen standing for lawsuits.”

Ryan is the Snake River Waterkeeper—a member attorney of a national environmental advocacy organization that collects data on North American waterways and engages in legal and policy work to protect water quality.

He spends about 100 days a year on the road crisscrossing Idaho and conducting tests on the Snake River and its tributaries. The data he collects on human health and aquatic life goes into the Waterkeeper Swim App, which gives recreationists a thumbs-up/thumbsdown assessment of whether it’s safe to swim at points along the waterway. Version 3.0 is set for release in mid-August.

The Swim App has a variety of interfaces to help would-be swimmers find the safest stretch of water. Its Beach Map lets users home in on locations of interest, with popular swimming holes color-coded: green is safe, red is unsafe and gray indicates it has been two weeks or more since Ryan tested the site.

Other functions include a search bar and “Report Pollution” option, which allows users to submit photos and concerns to the Waterkeeper.

Approximately 20 percent of the more than 110 testing sites Ryan visits don’t pass Environmental Protection Agency muster for human recreational use. According to the EPA, it’s safe to swim where acidity is neutral, dissolved solids and nitrates are at low levels, and oxygen is at higher levels. Some sites, like a particularly fetid stretch of the Malheur River, are grossly outside those limits. There, total dissolved solids were measured at more than four times the EPA Human Health

Snake River Waterkeeper F.S. Buck Ryan tests a water sample from the South Fork of the Boise River below Pine Bridge north of Mountain Home.

Criteria limit and nitrates were well over the limit, too.

Ingesting dissolved solids in excess of the EPA limits can make adults ill, but an overabundance of nitrates can sicken infants and cause shortness of breath, methaemoglobinaemia or “blue-baby syndrome” and even death.

“I think there’s value in me going out and finding where it’s safe to swim,” Ryan said.

Boise Weekly joined Ryan on one of his testing excursions. The first site was at the Pine Bridge just south of Pine. His equipment included a Geiger counter-looking water quality testing computer and a pair of rods used for measuring water samples. The measurements read normal levels of dissolved oxygen, moderate nitrate levels and .0608 micrograms per liter of ammonia. On a scale of 1-10, Ryan said the health of this stretch of river was a 7, though he was surprised by its ammonia levels, saying, “That’s actually higher than I was expecting. I would have thought it would have been less than .01 [micrograms per liter].”

Passing through Pine, he identified a slew of likely culprits: Approximately a mile upstream is the Elk Valley Ranch golf course.

Ammonia and phosphorous are ingredients commonly found in golf course fertilizers.

Other possible sources of pollution were greasy, algae-caked evaporation and drainage ponds near the river.

Ryan’s tests at the second site took about 15 minutes to compile and, by then, he had assembled his fly fishing rod; tied on a mam-

moth fly he designed; and donned heavy, water-resistant boots. He jotted down the test results on a worksheet: The water temperature was 16.1 degrees Celsius—perfect for fish— and nitrate and ammonia levels were appropriately lower than they had been at the testing site below Pine.

In the Sawtooth National Forest, the South Fork of the Boise River gurgles through rocky canyons and between wooded hills. The stream was cool and fragrant, if low, for late July. Ryan cast his fly into a shaded pool and almost immediately hauled out a 5-inch redband trout—a species native to many Idaho rivers. Removing the hook from the fish’s mouth, Ryan tossed it back into the pool.

Redband trout and other native fish are indicators of stream health and, over the course of the afternoon, Ryan caught—and released— half a dozen native trout from the river.

In all, Pine has had a marginal impact on the river’s water quality but, according to Ryan, the effect of small towns on the Snake River and its tributaries’ water quality pales in comparison to larger cities, agriculture, dairies and industry—all of which can be found along the Snake River as it crosses southern Idaho and into Oregon.

As the water quality challenges facing Idaho become clearer, Ryan believes Idaho has a decision to make.

“Would you rather have the third-worst industry in the country or the best recreation?” he said.

SCREEN HOW JAWS CHANGED EVERYTHING Boise Horror Film Festival to host unique ‘Jaws Float’ screening GEORGE PRENTICE film that changed summer cinema forever—and Rumor was, the movie would flop… big.

Reports from the set were not good: filming had still holds up as a masterpiece of suspense.

Universal Pictures eventually shoved the movie into a release date of June 20, 1975, which was not a good omen considering that studios traditionally released weaker pictures in summer months.

Nonetheless, Jaws changed everything. Universal pulled in unprecedented box office receipts and even built amusement parks based on its films; movie studios quickly began slotting their biggest audiencepleasing films during the summer (they would henceforth refer to them as “tentpole” films); and Steven Spielberg, that young director, JA ME S LL OY began directing a string of films D still unmatched in pleasure and profits.

Horror Film Festival, heading “The horror genre is the toward its second year this October. In anticipa- common denominator of filmmakers. You name tion of the fright fest, she chose to celebrate the the modern filmmaker and chances are, his or BOISE WEEKLY.COM

her career included horror. Somehow, horror is the common thread that stitched itself into filmmaking,” she added.

If the 2014 debut of IHFF was any barometer, Boise has a taste for horror.

“But quite frankly, the most important part of our festival surviving is to pivot away from the content of the film,” Deckart said. “It’s less about what the film festival shows, and it’s a lot more about sustaining the art form. Unfortunately, Idaho hemorrhages way too much filmmaking talent each year. We have to start forming a framework that supports filmmakers, giving them access to technology, venues to screen their work and a lot more education opportunities.

“Honestly, it’s not terribly difficult to convince talented artists to come here for a film festival,” she added. “The real challenge for any organizer is to sustain public and private support for this kind of creativity.”

Perhaps the best example of that will be IHFF’s sponsorship of a two-day workshop from Mark Stolaroff, an L.A.based film producer and founder of the “No Budget Film School,” geared to mentor low-budget, high quality filmmaking. The Boise edition of the No Budget Film School will coincide with the October film festival and Deckart said that if she has her way, the workshop will be free-of-charge during the run of IHFF. However, the film festival is still about the fright and the fun. Case in point: After the Aug. 20 Jaws Float, festival organizers have their sights set on an outdoor screening of a 1980 Stanley Kubrick classic.

“We’re planning to show The Shining inside the grotto outside of Angell’s Bar and Grill.

It will become this amazing outdoor amphitheater for this amazing horror classic,” said Deckart.

For the immediate future, it’s all about the Jaws Float.

“Oh, and one more thing: The floaties have to be [transparent],” said Deckart. “Seriously, they do. We don’t want anything lurking beneath the water.”

BOOZEHOUND WEST COAST BERRY VODKAS

HANGAR 1 MAINE WILD BLUEBERRY, $29.95 Hangar 1’s Maine Wild Blueberry vodka is “infused with real fruit,” though you wouldn’t be able to tell from its clear color. Sweet blueberry yogurt and candy dominate the nose, which does nothing to prepare you for the moonshine-y burn that comes through on the palate. As one taster said, “It tastes like something dyed fake blue.”

WILD ROOTS MARIONBERRY-INFUSED VODKA, $32.95 Made in Hillsboro, Ore., each bottle of Wild Roots is infused with more than a pound of Northwest-grown fruit.

The company’s deep purple, marionberry-infused vodka is a testament to its dedication to quality.

Wine-like aromas typify the nose and the pleasantly tart, jammy palate is filled with fresh fruit and a healthy amount of sugar. Try it with vanilla ice cream or a spritz of sparkling rose at brunch.

WHIDBEY ISLAND DISTILLERY BLACKBERRY LIQUEUR, $37.45 Located on Washington’s Whidbey Island, Whidbey Island Distillery launched in 2011 with a loganberry liqueur before expanding into raspberry and blackberry flavors.

Though this was weakest of the three, clocking in at 23 percent alcohol by volume, the nose had a harsh, medicinal quality.

Sweetness dominated the palate. Though one taster suggested you could pour it over pancakes, another compared it to “berryflavored cough syrup.”

Homestead—a partnership between Ed and Debby Wilsey, of Marsing; Bill and Carol Gale, of Middleton; and Keith and Sharon Huettig, of Jerome—specializes in grass-fed and finished, hormone-free beef and also sells all natural pork and poultry. For years, Homestead sold its products at farmers markets, grocery stores and restaurants around town. However, the company has struggled recently.

“The price of commodity beef got so high— and our beef was worth more than commodity beef—and so we just kept raising the price and raising the price until we basically priced ourselves out of the restaurant business,” said Ed Wilsey.

Wilsey said there are just too many costs associated with selling retail-ready meat—everything from processing to cold storage to marketing to distribution.

“It just got to be too much work to do it this way,” said Wilsey. “Bill is going to sell his cattle on the commodity market and Keith is going to try to keep going and doing his thing. You can buy Debby’s and my meat at the Whole Foods or the Boise Co-op.”

The Wilseys are in the process of forming a new company, Desert Mountain Grass Fed Beef, with Bob and Jessica Howard of Howard Ranch in Hammett. The company will only sell whole animals to the Boise Co-op and Whole Foods stores in Boise and Utah. Wilsey estimates that will work out to around 30 or so cows a month.

“We’ll probably sell some halves, wholes and quarters if people want them, but we’re out of the pound-of-hamburger-at-a-time business,” said Wilsey.

Homestead will keep its booth at the Boise Farmers Market through the end of August. Then the Wilseys will take some time off before they

Though Homestead Natural Foods is disbanding, Bill Gale will continue selling his beef on the commodity market.

return to the market in late September under their new name.

Speaking of the Boise Farmers Market, the organization is hosting its Harvest Moon Dinner Saturday, Sept. 5, on the Owyhee rooftop terrace.

The menu will feature six courses prepared by local chefs utilizing local produce from the market, and each course will be paired with a local wine.

The evening starts at 6 p.m. with a social hour and no-host bar, and dinner starts at 7 p.m.

Tickets are $75 until Saturday, Aug. 22, and then go up to $100. For more info, visit boisefarmersmarket.brownpapertickets.com.

In other wine news, the Basque Block is scrubbing away the last remnants of Jaialdi to prepare for another event: The Basque Museum and Cultural Center’s 18th Annual WineFest, which takes place Friday, Aug. 14, 5:30-9 p.m.. Organizers estimate the event will draw around 800 people to the Basque Block to sample more than 150 wines from around the globe, along with pintxos from nearby restaurants. Tickets come with a commemorative wine glass and are $30 each in advance or $100 for four. Tickets jump to $35 the day of the event. For more info, call 208343-2671, or visit basquemuseum.com.

Speaking of wine tastings, the wineries of the Sunnyslope Wine Trail are hosting their sixth annual Sunnyslope Wine Trail Festival Saturday, Aug. 22. The event will go down 2-6 p.m. at the Train Depot Park on Main Street in Caldwell.

Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the gate and include a Sunnyslope Wine Trail Glass, along with sips from local wineries and bites from local restaurants. Entertainment will be provided by the Brook Faulk band. For more info, visit facebook.

In other booze tasting news, TASTE208 is hosting a second event this year dubbed the Autumn Speakeasy. This 1920s speakeasy-themed event will take place 6-9 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 27 at The Linen Building, 1402 W. Grove St. In addition to tasting products from 20 vendors—including Pendleton Whisky, 44° North Vodka, Proletariat Wine Co., Koenig Distillery and Winery, and Sockeye Brewing—attendees can also snack on dishes created by Chef Peter Schott of 13th Street Pub and Grill and sample fresh sushi from Reel Foods Fish Market.

Tickets are $65 per person and include a tasting glass and gift bag worth $100 in gifts from Full Circle Exchange, Wear Boise and 13th Street Pub. Only 300 tickets will be sold. For more info, visit taste208event.com.

In other local wine news, Wine Spectator recently announced its 2015 Restaurant Wine List Awards, given to establishments that “stand at the forefront of wine-and-food culture, offering extraordinary experiences for enophiles across the globe.”

In the Treasure Valley, Mai Thai Restaurant and Bar, Fork and Bella Aquila each took home the 2015 Award of Excellence for their wine lists, while Chandlers Steakhouse took home the prestigious 2015 Best of Award of Excellence for its extensive list, which specializes in California and Washington wines.

No Idaho restaurants took home Wine Spectator’s highest honor, the Grand Award, which was only given to eight new restaurants this year, including Aux Beaux Arts in China and Spruce in San Francisco.

KLEINER PARK LIVE Summer Schedule: August 6th – Hillfolk Noir. Au-

FIND BRITISH LIBRARY IMAGE COLLECTION In December 2013, the British Library quietly opened a treasure chest of historical material: It released more than 1 million images from its collection of books dating from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries to Flickr Commons.

The digitized images are stripped of context other than basic information about the 65,000 books in which they appear, span 10,238 pages on the website, and are available for use in the public domain.

The collection is bewildering in its scope. There are hundreds—maybe thousands—of centuries-old maps; storyboards for Shakespearean plays; photographs taken during expeditions to the “cannibal islands”; cathedral plans; mechanical sketches; geological diagrams; sheet music; an 1899 analysis of Central Asian weather patterns; and untold illustrations taken from children’s’ books, popular magazines, adventure novels, poetry collections, fairy tales and histories.

Officials at the British Library don’t even know what all is represented in the trove, which was compiled using a program called the “Mechanical Curator” developed by the British Library Labs project.

One reason for releasing so many images to the public was to invite amateur sleuths to help fill in the historical gaps and provide deeper interpretations. flickr.com/photos/britishlibrary The full collection is available at flickr.com/photos/ britishlibrary, and a manifest of the collection is posted at github. com/BL-Labs/imagedirectory.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): To ensure the full accuracy of this horoscope, I have been compelled to resurrect an old-fashioned English word that isn’t used much any more: “gambol.” It means to cavort and frolic in a playful manner, or to romp and skip around with mad glee, as if you are unable to stop yourself from dancing. The astrological omens seem unambiguous in their message: In order to cultivate the state of mind that will enable you to meet all your dates with destiny in the coming weeks, you need to gambol at least once every day.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Do you remember your first kiss?

How about the first time you had sex? Although those events may not have been perfectly smooth and graceful, they were radical breakthroughs that changed your life and altered your consciousness.

Since then, there may have been a few other intimate rites of passage that have impacted you with similar intensity. No doubt you will experience others in the future. In fact, I suspect that the next installments are due to arrive in the coming months. Get ready for further initiations in these mysteries.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Two-thirds of us don’t know what our strengths and talents are.

That’s the conclusion of a study published in The Journal of Positive

Psychology. One reason for the problem is what the report’s coauthor, Dr. Robert Biswas-Diener, calls “strengths blindness,” in which we neglect our real powers because we regard them as ordinary or take them for granted. Here’s the good news, Gemini: If you suffer from even a partial ignorance about the nature of your potential, the coming months will be a favorable time to remedy that glitch. Life will conspire to help you see the truth. (Read more: bit.ly/truestrengths.)

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In 1504, Michelangelo finished his sculpture of the Biblical hero David. But he hadn’t been the first person to toil on the 17-foot-high block of marble. Forty years earlier, the artist Agostino di Duccio was commissioned to carve David out of the stone. His work was minimal, however. He did little more than create the rough shape of the legs and torso. In 1476, Antonio Rossellino resumed where Agostino had stopped, but he didn’t last long, either. By the time Michelangelo launched his effort, the massive slab had languished for 25 years. I see parallels between this story and your own, Cancerian. I suspect that you will be invited to take on a project that has been on hold or gotten delayed. This may require you to complete labors that were begun by others—or maybe instigated by you when you were in a very different frame of mind.

24 | AUGUST 12–18, 2015 | BOISEweekly

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Many people harbor the unconscious bias that beauty resides primarily in things that are polished, sleek and perfect. Celebrities work hard and spend a lot of money to cultivate their immaculate attractiveness, and are often treated as if they have the most pleasing appearance that human beings can have. Art that is displayed in museums has equally flawless packaging. But the current astrological omens suggest that it’s important for you to appreciate a different kind of beauty: the crooked, wobbly, eccentric stuff. For the foreseeable future, that’s where you’ll find the most inspiration.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “No tree can grow to Heaven unless its roots reach down to Hell,” wrote psychologist Carl Jung in his book Aion. My interpretation: We earn the right to experience profound love and brilliant light by becoming familiar with shadows and suffering. Indeed, it may not be possible to ripen into our most radiant beauty without having tangled with life’s ugliness. According to my understanding of your long-term cycle, Virgo, you have dutifully completed an extended phase of downward growth. In the next extended phase, however, upward growth will predominate. You did reasonably well on the hellish stuff; now comes the more heavenly rewards.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The Great Balancing Act of 2015 doesn’t demand that you be a wishy-washy, eager-to-please, self-canceling harmony whore.

Purge such possibilities from your mind. What the Great Balancing Act asks of you is to express what you stand for with great clarity.

It invites you to free yourself, as much as you can, from worrying about what people think of you. It encourages you to be shaped less by the expectations of others and more by what you really want. Do you know what you really want, Libra? Find out! P.S.: Your task is not to work on the surface level, trying to manipulate the appearance of things. Focus your efforts in the depths of yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Muslims, Jews and Christians are collaborating to erect a joint house of worship in Berlin. The building, scheduled to be finished by 2018, will have separate areas for each religion as well as a common space for members of all three to gather. Even if you don’t belong to any faith, you may be inspired by this pioneering effort to foster mutual tolerance. I offer it up to you as a vivid symbol of unity. May it help inspire you to take full advantage of your current opportunities to heal schisms, build consensus and cultivate harmony.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In some phases of your life, you have been a wanderer. You’ve had a fuzzy sense of where you belong.

It has been a challenge to know which target you should aim your arrows at. During those times, you may have been forceful but not as productive as you’d like to be; you may have been energetic but a bit too inefficient to accomplish wonders and marvels. From what I can tell, one of those wandering seasons is now coming to a close.

In the months ahead, you will have a growing clarity about where your future power spot is located—and may even find the elusive sanctuary called “home.” Here’s a good way to prepare for this transition: Spend a few hours telling yourself the story of your origins. Remember all the major events of your life as if you were watching a movie.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You have been slowing to a crawl as you approach an exciting transition. But I’m here to advise you to resume normal speed. There’s no need for excessive caution. You have paid your dues; you have made your meticulous arrangements; you have performed your quiet heroisms. Now it’s time to relax into the rewards you have earned. Lighten your mood, Capricorn. Welcome the onrushing peace and start planning how you will capitalize on your new freedom.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Most people reach the top of the ladder of success only to find it’s leaning against the wrong wall.”

Aquarian actor Paul Sorensen said that. It’s no coincidence that I’m bringing this theory to your attention right now. The coming months will be a good time to determine whether the ladder you have been climbing is leaning against the right wall or wrong wall. My advice is to question yourself at length. Be as objective as possible. Swear to tell yourself the whole truth. If, after your investigations, you decide it is indeed the wrong wall, climb down from the ladder and haul it over to the right wall. And if you’re satisfied that you are where you should be, celebrate!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): When he served as Italian prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi denigrated the cuisine of Finland. “Finns don’t even know what prosciutto is,” he sneered. At best, he said, their food is to be “endured.” He mocked the “marinated reindeer” they eat. But Finland fought back against the insults. In an international pizza contest held in New York, their chefs won first prize for their “Pizza Berlusconi,” a specialty pizza that featured marinated reindeer. The Italian entry finished second. I foresee you enjoying a comparable reversal in the coming months, Pisces. And it all begins now.
