EDITOR’S NOTE TURNING ON THE LIGHTS Call it a reporter’s hunch, but a week or so ago—when news broke about the so-called “Panama Papers” financial data leak—I had the weird sense Idaho might have connections to the story.

Thanks to the jaw-dropping work of hundreds of journalists all over the world, the 11.5 million files secreted off the servers at Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca are searchable online (offshoreleaks.icij.org). Plug in “Idaho” and you’ll get back about 40 names of individuals and businesses in the Gem State.

To be clear, there is nothing illegal about much of what is revealed in the leak. So far, there is no evidence whatsoever that any Idahoan or Idaho company named in the leak have committed crimes. That some others around the world have used offshore accounts and other financial vehicles to skirt the tax collector and/or funnel money to murky ends serves to underscore the deeper issue: the lack of transparency—what’s more, aversion to sunshine—that is shot through the world economy.

People have evolved to harbor a well-earned fear of the dark— bad things happen when the lights go out and who can know what’s hiding out there in the woods. So it is with the beast-ridden jungle of international finance.

Something as innocuous sounding as Morgan Additives Manufacturing could be a cash center for dictatorships (and it has been, propping up the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad through accounts in the Seychelles).

Looking at the biggest Idaho connection (which you can read more about on Page 8), the web of related parties spans out in so many directions that tracing them quickly becomes a dizzying proposition. In complexity is safety.

We can talk all we want about “reforming the financial system,” but if the Panama Papers have shown us anything, it’s that the “system” is a dark country and we don’t have the faintest idea of its geography.

Which is what makes it so important to get a little sunshine and so good to see a history-making example of what journalism is supposed to do: Turn on the lights.

OPINION GAGFORT

Where free-spiritizing meets blitzy self-infusion BILL COPE From: <alanahbronahnah@gagmediagroup.com> To: <bcope@getthehelloffmylawn.org> William, I have just come out of a brainstorm blitz of G.A.G. department heads and am so excited about the ideas we generated that I didn’t even stop at the girl’s room before in-filling you on where you might fit into the new paradigm. I expect you will be excited, too, to learn we are counting on your input for our most vigorous self-infusion into the Boise community zeitgeist to date.

Before I tell you of our exciting modifications to the G.A.G. template, first let me thank you for your advice on the “BLITZ” matter that landed on my plate several weeks ago. With your help, my team has succeeded in getting “BLITZ” on air up to 60 times a day, on average. With the success of the “BLITZ” blitz, my position as the Director of the “Trending Now Troop” is more secure than ever.

Now, about the exciting modifications. The first will impact you in no way, but you might be excited about it, anyway. To reflect G.A.G.’s commitment to acronym-driven management, the “Trending Now Troop” has been upgraded titularly to the “TNT Unit.” A contingent of management personnel from the Content Marketing Division was complaining it takes too long to say “Trending Now Troop,” and that it is an inefficient use of our temporal assets to put up with all that pronunciating. I thought this was unfair criticism. But I could see where the discussion was trending, so before anyone else could suggest an alternative, I came up with “TNT Unit.” I’m not sure it takes any less time to say “TNT Unit” than it does “Trending Now Troop,” but everybody seemed to be impressed with the “explosive” triple-”t”energy of the new title, and the issue of pronunciation-lag never came up.

The second exciting modification won’t affect you, either, but I am super excited about it. We have decided to switch to almond milk in the company coffee bar. I have been pushing for that since I got here. I can’t wait to have my first pumpkin spice latte without spending the rest of the morning running to the girls’ room.

Now, as to your involvement in our modified 12-month out-look, I am inquiring as to whether you would be interested in helping us develop an agenda to get more out-front in the Treefort zen. I hadn’t given Treefort much thought as a career enhancing opportunity, other than it was a trendingly cool place to go interfacing. (Also, I appreciate that the festival gives so many “indie” cats an opportunity to be heard. Honestly, if there were no such thing as Treefort at which we could compare their genius side-by-side, I have to wonder if we might start to suspect they actually all sounded alike.)

During the brainstorming blitz, Larry O’Clarry (our Vice Pres. of the Content Marketing Division) was commenting on the proliferation of other, non-musical aspects in the Treefort experience.

I’m speaking of Storyfort, Yogafort, Hackfort, Filmfort, and any other “forts” I may have missed. Then Larry turned to me and said, “Surely, there’s a place for G.A.G. in this panorama, wouldn’t you say, Miss Bronahnah? Why aren’t we doing that?”

I could hardly say Treefort and G.A.G. Media are about as different from one another as glutenfree granola is from Lucky Charms, so I agreed to look into the possibilities for a media conglomerate presence in the total Treefort pespective-scape. This is where you come in, William. If anyone can find a way to blend an aggressive corporate public relations blitz with a festival of free-spiritizing and creative-energization it is you. I would take this on myself if I didn’t already have such a full calendar of out-sourcing new logos for the polo shirts, baseball caps, wind breakers and all the other stuff that currently read “Trending Now Troop.”—Alanah Bronahnah-Dir. TNT Unit-G.A.G. Media Group ••• Dear Alanah, congrats on that almond milk business.

Now, as to ways G.A.G. can turn Treefort to its advantage: Since your goal is to “get more out-front in the Treefort zen,” I suggest you ix-nay the paradigm and out-strike in a new direction. As we learned long ago, youthful enthusiasm and alternative “perspective-scapes” are no more than a hop, skip and sell-out from being absorbed into a corporate fold. Any year now, I expect to learn that Treefort has added “Verizonfort” to its list of attractions. And “Micronfort.” Perhaps even a “Nikefort” and an “L.L. Beanfort.”

So rather than following the well-worn path, how about up-cranking the vocabularial energy and making it a “fort-ress?”... as in “Mediafortress” or “TreefortUpdatefortress.” Better yet! How about garrison! “Community Zeitgeistgarrison,” for instance . Or “GetYourFreeTNTUnittshirtgarrison.”

You might even consider off-getting the whole “fort” thread entirely and going with something counterintuitive. Like... say, off the up-top of my head... meadow. I can brain-see a “FlashMobmeadow, can’t you?” Or “MeetARealGAGWeathermanmeadow.”

Let us off-put any final decisions, Alanah, as we have mucho time to blitz-think this with creativeenergization. Will back-get to you—William BOISE WEEKLY.COM

OPINION FROM THE FAR MARGINS Three red lights NICOLE LEFAVOUR Three men run red lights in their city. The man in the Lexus blows right through it, a solid red, and doesn’t stop until the flashing lights make him. The man is 40. His dad told him always to respect officers though he’s had little chance to interact with them. He’s late but he breathes deep and smiles apologetically. “I’m sorry officer. I’m late for a board meeting. It’s been a stressful week.”

Officer Joad takes the man’s license and runs his plate. His record is clean. He writes the citation: speeding and failure to obey a traffic signal. He tells the man he can appear in court, if he chooses. Otherwise the fine is $245. It says so on the citation. He can pay by mail by the date in bold black print.

When the man in the rusted Dodge Dart runs a red light, the sirens blare, the lights flash and the driver begins to sweat. Officer Joad leaves his car and unsnaps his gun holster. The plate is clear but the man in the car ahead is fumbling in his glove box. It is best to be safe. The driver rolls down his window visibly stressed. The officer asks for license and registration—as he always does. The man fumbles. He’s thinking how his father used to rant that cops are dirty extensions of a corrupt government that preys on the poor and helpless. He is afraid.

Officer Joad asks the man to get out of the car and put his hands on the hood. He pats him down. The man is visibly shaking. Sweat is dripping from his nose. Joad leans in to search the car. The man asks why this is necessary. Officer Joad assesses him, his nervousness, his stammer, the condition of his car.

Joad cuffs the man and seats him in the back of his own car, calls for backup and searches the man’s vehicle.

An hour later, a third guy, this time in a pickup, barely runs a red light. It’s a calculated risk. The car in front of him just barely ran it, too. The officer’s lights flash. This is the fifth time he’s been stopped by police in the past two years, usually in his own very white neighborhood for a non-functional tail light, failure to signal, not stopping completely at a stop sign—even though he did stop. He curses.

Officer Joad runs the plate. The list of infractions is long. Nothing major except there’s the report by a neighbor of disturbance at his house. Noise ordinance maybe. One of the fines was not paid. A warrant appears for that one. Officer Joad arrests the man.

In the cuffs, the man from the pickup is angry. “I barely ran the light. The cars on either side of me were right there too.” The 6 | APRIL 13–19, 2016 | BOISEweekly

man’s anger is vivid, intense. Officer Joad calls for backup. He has to force the man into the back of his cruiser. A tow truck comes and impounds the man’s car. He’s booked and detained overnight. He’s offered an attorney. This is the first time in the man’s life he will spend the night in jail. It will be one of many though, for meaningless transgressions. His record, though, will grow.

The man in the Lexus gets home. It’s late but he doesn’t want to forget to pay the ticket. He writes a check, sits on his deck smoking a joint and watching stars shift across the night sky.

The man in the Dodge Dart arrives home.

The lights are out and his roommates are sleeping. His wrists are bruised from the handcuffs.

Fear keeps welling up in him. His rent is three weeks late. Next month’s will be due soon. His boss has threatened to cut his hours. He needs to move but can’t afford any of the rentals. Paying the fine would mean not being able to afford his medication, not buying gas for the car to get to work. The tank’s almost empty. There’s no bus route near his house. He knows the fine has to wait. He wonders what that means.

When officer Joad’s shift is over, he drives home. He did not die today. He didn’t get shot at or have to arrest any drug dealers or child molesters. He thinks of the three men who ran red lights that night. He knows none of them but he does. They fit profiles he’s seen over and over. The man in the Lexus can pay the fine and it will be less trouble than buying a suit. The man in the pickup Joad knows by his address gets no end of grief in his neighborhood. Joad has been to the house down the block where the retired man from north Idaho still flies a Confederate flag and calls the station regularly with complaints about neighbors. Most of the officers in the station know the drill. A few don’t or don’t care and write citations, knock on the neighbors’ doors. Joad feels for any black or brown man in that neighborhood.

Officer Joad opens a beer in the kitchen. He thinks about the man in the Dart and how he wept sitting in the front seat of his rusty car as Joad drove away. For that man, that one fine might be the unraveling point. It might be the one thing that turns survival into something else. Joad shakes his head. Three men ran red lights. Three men got tickets that night. It’s not justice that the fines are the same, that the consequences are so vastly different. Joad leaves his beer on the counter, undresses and climbs into bed to sleep. He’ll dream of the ocean and about Sally from dispatch. He doesn’t want to dream of work.

MAIL INVESTING IN IDAHO’S FUTURE Recently a group of Idaho business leaders, including myself, formed a group called Idaho 2020, which is dedicated to helping find policy solutions that invest in Idaho’s future. This group is a nonprofit think tank with the premise that using data as a driving force through world-class research and public polling can help better inform and support our state and local policymakers. Recent public opinion research we conducted shows both education and economic concerns dominate the issue matrix in Idaho. Also, while voters strongly support providing incentives to companies to create jobs in the state, they are unaware of where Idaho is positioned compared to neighboring states when it comes to both our tax and economic climates. One significant finding from our recent research that I would like to highlight is the link Idahoans make between education and the economy.

In Idaho 2020 polling, a near majority of Idahoans chose providing a better education as the most important initiative to growing Idaho’s economy. Education more than doubled tax policy, which came in second. Idahoans clearly understand the need to improve our education system as the way we grow our economy.

They understand the need for our youth to have the skills and training necessary to hold the jobs of the future. States that ensure their education system provides their kids with the needed skills and training will hold competitive and comparative advantages over other states. The states that hold these advantages will attract new businesses, create new jobs and grow their economy.

The J.A. and Kathryn Albertson Family Foundation recently also completed remarkable research that mirrors our findings on the importance that education plays in Idaho’s future economic growth. Titled, “The People’s Review of Education in Idaho,” the polling found 79 percent of Idahoans believe if Idaho had better schools, we would attract more companies and the economy would be stronger. The citizens of Idaho highly value education, mostly, because they understand it prepares their kids for future employment and economic success. Expanding vocational education classes, internships and work experience is what 80 percent of Idahoans believe schools should be doing more of to prepare our kids for the jobs in the future.

Idahoans are highly aware of the importance of education and what it means for the future of Idaho and their families.

JKAF reports a broad range of Idahoans are dissatisfied with their local public school, with merely 42 percent giving their own community’s public schools a grade of A or B. These results are lower when compared to the national Gallup poll that reports 56 percent give an A or B when asked the same question. In addition, only 48 percent of Idahoans would advise a family to move into their school district when looking for a top-notch school.

These results highlight the particular importance of education in our state, and the simple fact that we have work to do.

The people of Idaho clearly recognize our state’s economic success depends upon the jobs that small business and companies bring – jobs that will be won or lost based on the quality of our local schools.

Almost 80 percent of Idahoans

fear Idaho is losing many of its best and brightest young people because there are not enough quality jobs.

The data and research confirm that our education system can do better. This will require increased learning options and innovation. Idaho’s economic future and our kid’s future job opportunities depend on it.

Strengthening our education system is the key to ensuring that our kids have quality jobs right here in Idaho.

CHANGES NEEDED TO CAUCUS SYSTEM As I learn more and more about the Idaho caucus, the biggest in the country and therefore the most chaotic, I question how did we come to this? Do we have a say in the way that we primary/caucus, if so, hear me now: it is NOT for everyone, and it SHOULD be.

I have found that I am not alone in these feelings, there have been many comments made on social media following the caucus in March.

Should we be proud that our caucus was the largest in the nation? We should be proud that people show up, I’ve never been more impressed with Idaho than I was on Tuesday, March 22, but should we be OK with the fact that people were turned off by the lines amongst many other things, that many people left before they voted? What do we need to do to make this a fair process, with zero disenfranchised? Let’s make a change.

The purpose of this letter is to bring to light the issues beyond the long lines when it comes to caucusing. I have heard that this system is in the process of being changed, I look forward to learning more about what that change looks like.

Ltd.—another offshore entity with the same address as Simkar.

The master client of both Simkar and West Side was PT Simplot Agritama, a company with a Jakarta, Indonesia-area address.

Ken Dey, a Boise-based spokesman for Simplot, said PT Simplot Agritama was formed in 1997 as a joint venture between Simplot and WestSide Corp., the latter a Brisbane, Australiabased gas producer founded by businessman Angus Nelson Karoll, who is also named as a director of Simkar and beneficial owner of West Side Ltd. According to Dey, PT Simplot Agritama operated as a vendor of frozen potatoes and other vegetables to independent distributors in

ADAM RO SEN LUND

In November 2014, Boise Weekly first reported on a claim filed against Idaho Department of Labor Director Ken Edmunds and former Idaho Human Rights Commission Director Pam Parks, alleging discrimination against a candidate for the position of administrator at the Idaho Human Rights Commission.

The candidate, Don Dew, said he had been made to “feel like I was less than a person,” and filed the suit, alleging the Idaho Labor Department had violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Civil Rights Act. At the time, IDOL had no comment, but when U.S. District Judge Candy Dale dismissed the suit, IDOL Deputy Director Georgia Smith was quick to forward a copy of the federal court order to BW with the brief comment, “Thought you might want to close the loop.”

The suit was inspired when Dew withdrew his job application, saying Edmunds looked at him as if “he was smelling a dirty diaper” after Dew revealed he had been treated several years prior for seizures. Dew also alleged he was being discriminated against when he learned Parks made notes about him being in a gay relationship. Dew said he withdrew his application because he believed continuing with the hiring process would be a “futile gesture,” but he pursued legal action nonetheless. Dale ruled that because Dew had withdrawn from the hiring process, “the court cannot on the facts, as alleged, find Dew could prove he suffered adverse action.”

“There can be no adverse employment action where a plaintiff, by his own volition, withdraws his application from further consideration prior to being offered the job,” wrote Dale.

Most interesting, though, was a reference in Dale’s ruling to Idaho’s 9 longstanding debate over LGBT rights—or the lack thereof—in the Idaho

No one was supposed to know the financial details held by Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca.

Run by two lawyers—one the son of a Waffen-SS soldier, the other a novelist-turned investment expert—the firm has long been known for its discretion, drawing hundreds of clients from world leaders to arms dealers, drug kingpins, high-flown financiers, and at least three dozen individuals or businesses with Idaho addresses. More than 500 banks have funneled business through Mossack Fonseca over the past 40 years—many of them taking advantage of lax regulations, pushing their clients’ money, tax-free, through a labyrinth of offshore trusts and shell companies.

That changed on April 3, when the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists went public with more than 11 million files leaked in 2015 to the German newspaper Suddeutsche Zeitung. For the past year, hundreds of reporters from the around the world combed through the files—now known as the “Panama Papers”—and published a series of bombshell revelations, among them: Russian President Vladimir Putin is connected with a $2 billion money laundering scheme, a stream of hidden funds have been propping up the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and Iceland’s Prime Minister Sigmundur Gunnlaugsson has been stashing money in offshore accounts.

Gunnlaugsson stepped down amid the controversy on April 5.

As details from the largest data leak in history continue to come out, attention is turning to smaller players and, so far, relatively few United States individuals or businesses have been found buried in the files. According to McClatchy, parent corporation of the Idaho Statesman and the only U.S. newspaper company to participate in the ICIJ project, at least 200 U.S. passports appear in the files and 3,500 offshore shareholders are attached to U.S. addresses.

A search in the database shows Idaho interests ranging from individuals—many in eastern Idaho—to businesses and organizations including Ketchum-based Mar Vista Capital Ltd. and Yellowstone Trust, listed in Idaho Falls.

By far the biggest name in the files belongs to Boise-based agriculture giant Simplot Company.

Simplot International Inc. was listed as an owner/shareholder of Simkar Ltd., an offshore entity with a Cayman Islands address. Also an owner/shareholder of Simkar is West Side

Indonesia. West Side was involved for its expertise in distribution. Simplot sold off its share of the venture in 2003, Dey said, because “it didn’t live up to what we had hoped for in sales growth.”

“How it was structured or why it was structured in this way is hard to determine given that this is nearly 20 years old and the executives who were involved with this have since retired,” Dey wrote in an email. “Bottom line, this was a legitimate business structure and we are no longer involved with this.”

The way the joint venture was structured provides a glimpse into the complexity of the system.

Among the other parties involved with the Simkar-West Side servicing of PT Simplot Agritama were fellow offshore entities CTC Corpora-

tion Ltd. and CSS Corporation Ltd., both of which shared Simkar and West Side’s Cayman Islands address and served as director and assistant secretary, respectively. A search of CTC and CSS’ other offshore connections yields another web of almost 40 entities with addresses ranging from the Cayman Islands to Hong Kong and including industries from land development to semiconductors, energy interests and food production.

Karoll served as director of Simkar and owner/ shareholder of West Side while William Keunen, global director of Citco Fund Services—again with the same Cayman Islands address—served as a shareholder in both entities.

The only Boise addresses connected to the Simplot joint venture, aside from Simplot International Inc., were attached to Simkar shareholders James T. Hungelmann and James R. Munyon, both former executives in Simplot’s food group division (Hungelmann was a Simplot lawyer while Munyon is a past Simplot president).

Rounding out the parties were WestSide Corp. Director Trent Karoll, who served as a director of Simkar, and British Virgin Islands-based Founders Services, Inc., listed as a director of West Side Ltd. John Miller, a University of Idaho law professor with a specialty in business entities taxation, said the data revealed in the Panama Papers raise a number of questions for businesses and individuals mentioned in the files.

“For government officials, such as the Icelandic head of state, it may raise the question of whether their purpose was to conceal a conflicts of interest. For example, a politician might secretly hold bank stock while engaging in official activities that favor banks. For private citizens it raises the question of whether they have concealed the money from the tax authorities. In short, have they used the entities to commit tax fraud?” he said.

One of the takeaways from the flood of reporting on the leak has been that the structures described are primarily intended to create anonymity and avoid paying taxes.

“The foreign income of a foreign subsidiary corporation of a U.S. corporation is not taxable in the U.S.,” Miller said. “There is nothing nefarious about this in and of itself.”

However, he added, “there may be 9 nothing wrong with having assets held in a trust or LLC abroad unless that entity is BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Energy efficient home in East Boise neighborhood being built with straw bales GEORGE PRENTICE

Mark Lung took a long look at the wood frame filling much of the tiny lot on the 1300 block of Boise’s E. Franklin Street. He was picturing what will soon be his straw bale home, a rarity in Boise—only three others exist.

“Two hundred bales of hay are on the way,” said Lung, shooting a glance down the street, anticipating a first-of-its-kind delivery to the historic Boise neighborhood.

This won’t be Lung’s first experience with straw bales. When Lung—a Boise native—moved back to his hometown with wife Janice in 2009, the couple wanted their home to be straw bale. However, when they went to Boise City Hall to get permits, officials hadn’t received such a request.

“But things have changed since. It’s my understanding that Boise has folded in the Straw Bale Residential Building Code into the city code recently,” said Lung, adding that Boise regulations now require a certified engineer to sign off on plans for a residential straw bale construction.

There aren’t many Treasure Valley builders who are skilled in straw bale construction, however.

“Which is why we’re going to invite anyone who’s interested to a straw bale workshop here where I’m building the home similar to an oldfashioned Amish barn raising,” he said. “Nothing formal. We’ll have coffee, put up some walls and talk about what’s different and not-so-different.”

The ruling made note of Idaho’s “turbulent Add the Words campaign.”

Mark Lung: “Our annual [utility] bills will be about $65.”

The first thing homeowners ought to know is that there is a stunning difference in operating costs for a straw bale home.

“It’s not two- or three-times lower. We’re talking 10-times lower or even less,” said Lung. “We built our first straw bale home over on Boise Avenue in 2009. It’s a 2,000-square-foot home.

The average heating and cooling for a house like that in Boise is about $1,200 a year. Ours was $250. Now, this house will be 980-square-feet and our annual bills will be about $65.”

The home will have a tankless natural gas water heater, supplemented by some solar heating panels, but most of the warmth will be passive solar energy.

used to hide income and thereby evade income or other taxes.”

Online news outlet The Intercept reported April 5 on how much 8 offshore asset holdings and shell companies cost the global economy in both tax evasion (illegal) and tax avoidance (“technically legal,” according to The Intercept). Quoting from The Hidden Wealth of Nations, by University of California, Berkeley economist Gabriel Zucman, tax evasion costs world governments upwards of $200 billion a year, while tax avoidance—from U.S. companies alone—tacks on $130 billion a year.

In a regional breakdown of offshore wealth and tax evasion, U.S. companies and individuals in 2014 were shown to have socked away a full $1.2 billion, or 4 percent of total national financial wealth, in offshore funds— amounting to a tax revenue loss of $35 billion.

Writing for The Intercept, reporter Jon Schwarz noted more wealth from some regions is held overseas than others. A full 10 percent of European wealth resides on different shores and that number rises to 22 percent in Latin America, 30 percent in Africa and 52 percent in Russia.

Meanwhile, the fallout from the leak has gotten closer to home.

Wyoming Secretary of State Ed Murray has opened a probe into BOISE WEEKLY.COM

“Amory Lovins, the founder of the Rocky Mountain Institute, famously said, that ideally you should be able to build a house that can be heated by the body heat of a poodle,” said Lung, with a big smile as his own 14-year-old dog, Maggie, sat at his feet. “Face it, the reason that most people’s energy bills are so high is that they heat their house with, say natural gas, but most of that heat leaves your house.”

And straw, Lung quickly added is a perfect and economical insulator. Once all the insulation is in place, Lung said he’ll give the straw a “haircut,” trimming the edges with a chainsaw, cover it with a mud-based finish and, sometime this summer, he, Janice and Maggie will move it.

“And the neighbors can’t wait to see what happens,” said Lung. “And we want to share this with as many builders and homeowners as possible.”

Cheyenne-based M.F. Corporate Services Wyoming LLC, which records reveal “serves as a registered agent for Mossack Fonseca,” according to the Wyoming Tribune Eagle.

Following an audit by the Wyoming secretary of state’s office, it was reported April 7 that 24 entities named in the Panama Papers could be traced to M.F. Corporate Services.

“For years, Wyoming has been considered a haven for shell companies because of the state’s relatively lenient requirements and extra privacy protections,” the Tribune Eagle reported. “And even though legislative changes have been put in place since 2009 to strengthen the state’s laws, Wyoming remains one of the most attractive locations in the country for these groups.”

Miller underscored there are legitimate reasons for using offshore entities, typically for asset protection, but given the murky nature of how and why a business or individual would do business in such a way, Miller added that the full significance of the Panama Papers leak has not yet been revealed.

“What has been revealed however, is billions of dollars have been salted away in a secretive manner and people would like to know why this was done and where the money came from,” he said.

Constitution, which, ironically, the Idaho Department of Labor and the 8 Idaho Human Rights Commission are charged with protecting.

“Dew’s response to Defendants’ motion highlights the tumultuous times surrounding LGBT rights in Idaho, both during the time of his application and continuing to the present,” Dale wrote.

Noting that the Idaho Legislature has yet to extend any LGBT protections through socalled Add the Words legislation, Dale questioned how rights could have been violated when those rights simply don’t exist.

“Given the turbulent Add the Words campaign, and the lack of any legislative action, it can hardly be said that reasonable officials would undoubtedly have known that discrimination based upon sexual orientation during the hiring process violated clearly established rights,” wrote Dale, adding, “Here, there is no evidence of any policy, rule or law imposed or followed by the Idaho Commission on Human Rights or the Department of Labor that precluded the employment of gays or lesbians.”

In her conclusion, Dale wrote that Dew may file an amended complaint, but added a caveat.

“It may be exceedingly difficult to state a claim based upon the facts alleged. This is not a case where more detail would suffice,” she wrote.

Meanwhile, the position that Dew initially sought was filled by Linda Goodman, who took over as administrator of the Idaho Commission on Human Rights after serving for 25 years as a mediator and investigator for the commission.

As for Edmunds and Parks, an IDOL letter to BW stated that the two “were cleared of allegations that they violated the civil rights of job applicant Don Dew.” “I know you covered the initial filing of the lawsuit and we have been watching for a follow-up,” wrote Smith.

All that’s fresh.

PUBLIC LECTURE: LAUREL THATCHER ULRICH

RECORD STORE DAY (WEEKEND)

CAPITAL CITY PUBLIC MARKET

If Americanism was a religion, Henry David Thoreau would be among its chief saints, and his treatise, Walden, would be one of its most important texts. Idaho native, Pulitzer Prize winner and MacArthur Fellow Laurel Thatcher Ulrich took a group of Harvard University students to a natural history museum to see Thoreau’s relics. They found his pond turtle, a “fish that taught them to write” and a 116-year-old tortilla that gave them new insights into botany.

The author of Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History and A Midwife’s Tale will visit Boise State University as part of The Idea of Nature Public Lecture Series to deliver a talk, “Adventures in a Natural History Museum,” on Thursday, April 14 at the Boise State Student Union Simplot Ballroom.

6 p.m., FREE. Boise State University Student Union Building, Simplot Ballroom, 1700 University Drive, 208-426-5800, scholarworks.boisestate.edu/ideaofnature.

The only-in-Boise experience of going to a Saturday outdoor farmers market, walking a few blocks, and going to another outdoor market begins in earnest Saturday, April 16. That’s when the Capital City Public Market opens for the season, joining its neighbor—which is a few blocks to the south—the Boise Farmers Market, which launched its season on April 1.

Established in 1994, the Capital City Public Market is, by far, the larger of the two and stretches more than 150 vendors over four blocks of downtown Boise, now sitting exclusively on Eighth Street between Main and State streets. Of particular note is the market’s acceptance of food stamps and the Fresh Funds program, a dollar-for-dollar match up to $10 for food stamp-using patrons. Opening bell for the season will ring at 9:30 a.m..

Saturdays, 9:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m., through Dec. 17. FREE. Eighth Street between Main and State, capitalcitypublicmarket.com.

ELIJAH JENSEN-LINDSEY: THE DIAMOND BODY TAKES A BOUGH In 2009, local visual artist/musician/carpenter Elijah JensenLindsey was in a car accident that took the life of his mother and left him, his brother and his father seriously injured. The neardeath experience affected Jensen-Lindsey both externally and internally. As he coped, he created. A new exhibit, The Diamond Body Takes A Bough, is work Jensen-Lindsey made during the past seven years, a period he describes as one of “physical and spiritual upheaval, alcoholism, chronic pain, marriage, contentment and loving gratitude,” in which he created work he explains as an “exploration of the inherent tension between loss and hope, the waking life and dream state and the peace found in chaos.”

ADELITAS WAY, APRIL 15, KNITTING FACTORY The rising popularity of alt-metal in the early 2000s spurred a renewed interest in seeing those big-sound bands perform in stadiumlike settings. What can sustain some of these bands is their ability to translate a huge show to a smaller stage. Las Vegas-based Adelitas Way hit the scene running about 10 years ago, producing songs that rocked but also connected with listeners on an emotional level, like “Invincible,” in which Adelitas Way frontman Rick DeJesus sings, “I’m invincible tonight / Believe me / You’ve never met a mother fucker like me.” Though somewhat aggressive, set to the song’s well-crafted melody and rock-your-face-off delivery, the lyrics become empowering rather than simply challenging. Adelitas Way can blow the roof off an arena but it can also deliver a smaller show, while losing nothing in the process. The band’s upcoming show, presented by 100.3 the X, is an opportunity to see these masters at work.

(The show is free but tickets are required and the only way to get them is by listening to The X.) —Amy Atkins With Lacey Sturm, 8 p.m., FREE but tickets required. The Knitting Factory, 416 S. Ninth St., 208-367-1212, bo.knittingfactory.com.

The win was the culmination of years of hard work: Home Free’s founders—brothers Chris (baritone) and Adam Rupp (vocal percussion)— have been honing their singing and stage presence since the early 2000s, when they were in college. The Bros. Rupp have been joined by Austin Brown (tenor), Tim Foust (bass), Rob Lundquist (tenor) and, in 2014, the vocal group released its first album, Crazy Life. Home Free will play the Egyptian Theatre Saturday, April 16. Tickets are $35 in advance and $40 at the door.

SCREEN PREACHING TO THE DIRE

The decline of Sunday morning TV news programs GEORGE PRENTICE Where have you gone Tim Russert? Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you.

I’ve never missed Russert, who died in 2008, more than this political season. I was lucky enough to get to know Russert in the early 1980s. He was an aide to U.S. Senator Daniel Moynihan, and I was cutting my teeth in a Buffalo television newsroom. Russert and I would swap rumors (usually at an Irish pub). But that’s a lot of bourbon under the bridge.

Russert would go on to become the venerable and longest-serving host of NBC’s Meet the Press.

I can’t help but think if Russert was still at the helm of MTP, he would have a field day deconstructing this year’s presidential campaign—the most important (and most bizarre) political contest in a generation. Russert did his homework.

He was a walking encyclopedia of just the right quotes and statistics to reveal the inconsistencies of anyone making false claims on the campaign trail. More important, Russert redefined the lexicon of modern American political discourse—he coined the phrase “red states and blue states.” It’s also significant to remember Russert never talked down (or up) to viewers, and he understood chasing news ratings was a fool’s errand. (Ironically, the Russert-era of Meet the Press saw some of its highest Neilsen ratings).

There are too many political pundit programs across the broadcast spectrum to count, what with the monster that is cable news. Sadly, dear viewer/voter, there is no safety in those numbers, so while I continue to mourn the loss of Russert nine years later, here’s an unofficial guide to what news talk shows may be worthy of your time in these final, critical months in the run for the White House. Let’s start with the good news first (there isn’t much):

A+

With All Due Respect (weekdays, 4 p.m., MSNBC): OK, I know this is not a Sunday morning news program (although NBC news would be well advised to add a weekend edition of With All Due Respect to a Sunday lineup on its flagship network). Here we have one of the most candid, in-depth political conversations currently on network television, and it’s no coincidence that—much like Russert—the hosts are not groomed personalities.

Instead, they’re seasoned on-the-road journalists Mark Halperin and John Heilemann, both of

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

The talk coming out of some of the heads is cheaper than others.

Bloomberg News. Prior to joining the MSNBC lineup, With All Due Respect previously aired on Bloomberg TV and MSNBC’s decision to co-opt the program earlier this year was the smartest move the struggling network has made since, well, ever. DVR a week of this show and you’ll be hooked.

Face the Nation (Sundays, 9:30 a.m., CBS): This relic is one of longest-running chat shows on the air but through much of its six decades on CBS, it rarely generated any sparks under the considerable talents of Lesley Stahl, who hosted from 1983 to 1991, or Bob Schieffer, who was there for 24 years, 1991-2015. Not that a Sunday morning news program has to be animated, but for goodness sake, this isn’t radio. The good news is that longtime print journalist John Dickerson (Time) has taken the reigns of Face the Nation. His style is even known inside the D.C. Beltway as “Dickersonian,” with The Daily Beast writing of him, “He calmly, methodically incises a politician’s carefully constructed facade until the mask falls away, revealing the scaly reptile beneath.”

C-

Fox News Sunday (Sunday, 7 a.m., FOX News): I realize I’m giving this FOX News program a better grade than the ABC and NBC gabfests. Unfortunately, that says more about the news talk shows on ABC and NBC than it does about this one on FOX, hosted by Chris Wallace. To his credit, Wallace learned quite a bit from his old man, the late Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes. Chris, like Mike, rarely lets a politician off the hook and has been known to ask the same question three or more times until he gets an answer. Although Chris’ panel of pundits sometimes includes cringeworthy input from Karl

Rove or Liz Cheney, Chris more often than not keeps his guests and pundits on topic.

D

State of the Union (Sunday, 7 a.m., CNN): This program is instantly forgettable. My sense is State of the Union’s producers have struggled to keep someone in the anchor chair for any extended period of time. There have been three hosts of State of the Union in the past five years. Jake Tapper is the most recent—he was hosting as this story was going to print, anyway.

D-

Meet the Press (Sunday, 8 a.m., NBC): The longest-running program in U.S. television history, Meet The Press has had 12 different moderators since 1947, the best being Russert. NBC News Political Director Chuck Todd has hosted since September 2014, following an awkward six years when David Gregory hosted, taking the show to record low ratings. Todd’s overemphasis on politics makes him a lightweight when it comes to an examination of foreign affairs and particularly at a vulnerable time of global crises, i.e. the rise of ISIS. Additionally, Todd has a not-so-subtle and entirely time-consuming love affair with anything on a map. We appreciate the visuals but feverishly waving your arms around doesn’t make something more essential.

F

This Week (Sunday, 7 a.m., ABC): George, George, George. Mr. Stephanopoulos is oh-so-cuddly during those Good Morning America cooking segments and adorably charming when interviewing a contestant from Dancing With the Stars, but any illusion of political neutrality vanished when we learned Stephanopoulos was a regular contributor to the Clinton Foundation and, worse yet, he chose not disclose that to his employer or to his viewers.

FOOD Slow By Slow serves up craft coffees in downtown Boise HARRISON BERRY From the row of chairs overlooking the pourover pit at Slow By Slow Coffee Bar, customers watch baristas as they weigh and grind coffee beans.

The chairs are like choice seats at an opera house, giving the impression that preparing coffee is something to be observed.

Slow By Slow opened six weeks ago in BoDo and maintains a rotating menu of coffees from around the world served dripped or as espresso.

Slow By Slow promises thoughtfully sourced and prepared coffee.

“When people walk in, we don’t want people to think they’re in a coffeehouse,” said owner Joe Shafer. “We want people to come in for the coffee.”

Shafer, who runs the shop with his wife and co-owner, Diana, keeps things simple. The menu, which changes once or twice a week, offers three beans used for drip brews and two for espresso.

The Shafers and their employees curate the menu based on their own preferences and samples they receive from roasters across the country. Shafer said he’s personally inclined toward lighter roasts that emphasize fruitier flavors of the coffee cherry.

“The taste preferences are me and my employ-

butter, and they manifest to varying degrees on the tongue. Some unspool slowly, releasing different flavors with each breath after a sip. Others are punchy or riotous. Each is an alternative to the idea that people drink coffee for no better reason than they need it to get out of bed.

Shafer has spent much of his life working with coffee, developing a feel for coffee as an artisan product. He got his start at Starbucks before moving to Flying M, where he worked for more than a decade, cutting his teeth on roasting. Slow

By Slow is his and Diana’s headlong jump into serving craft coffees.

“We’re meticulous about our target audience,” Shafer said. “It’s a food-conscious audience: people who are interested in trying new things.”

According to Shafer, more than 100 people come to Slow By Slow every day, and more than half of them walk farther than five blocks to get there. They’re also willing to pay more: a cup At Slow By Slow the word “meticulous” is an understatement. of drip coffee goes for $3-$3.50.

FOOD/BOOZEHOUND MILL TOWN DISTILLERY Moonshine got its name about 200 years ago because it was distilled by the light of the moon to avoid detection by the tax man. This illicit distilling of high-alcohol, clear whiskey continued across the country at least through the 1940s. Today, moonshine is perfectly legal and crafted in the sunshine, but the mystique remains.

Drawing on the edgy pedigree of backwoods booze, Sandpointbased Mill Town Distillery puts out a range of small batch liquors: rum, vodka, milltowndistillery.com and two corn whiskeys. The company, founded about a year ago by husband and wife Victor and Jessie Vachon, leans heavily on the north Idaho history of bootlegging, as the panhandle region was a hotspot for illegal hooch with plenty of hills and forests in which to stash a still. On its website, Mill Town credits its establishment to the discovery of one such still and draws from the same spring water to craft its spirits.

Boise Weekly got the chance to sit down with a selection of the artisan distillery’s tipples for a (reasonably responsible) tasting.

Below are the results.

NO. 217 CORN WHISKEY ($22.95)—Named for a Sandpoint area hiking trail, No. 217 weighs in at 80 proof, which might come as a surprise on the palate. The nose is much more pronounced than the flavor, with a winey characteristic that carries a hint of banana.

20 | APRIL 13–19, 2016 | BOISEweekly

The corn base is a world away from the charred barrel notes of other whiskies. That said, those familiar with grappa will find much to like. No. 217 has a clean mouth feel and warms all the way down. We suggest it with a splash of citrus.

WILDMAN OF NO. 217 CORN WHISKEY ($27.45)—This is the moonshine your granddaddy warned you about. Clocking in at 60 percent alcohol by volume, we’re talking about some serious white lightning. As one taster put it, a whiff off the bottle evokes “the foretaste of a nosebleed.” This stuff has to be liberally mixed with branch water unless you’re angling to be one and done (and on your ass). There’s a Sasquatch on the label and our sense is, after too many swigs, you’d be living up to the name.

PEND OREILLE RIVER LIGHT RUM ($22.95)— Our panel didn’t have much to say about Mill Town’s rum. Clear and clean in the bottle, it gives off a brisk rum aroma, but the flavor—while pleasant—doesn’t do much to set it apart. Mixed, it would be perfectly serviceable, but “serviceable” doesn’t quite justify the price. Props, how-

ever, go to the label text on the proper way to say Pend Oreille: “Please pronounce it responsibly.

Pond-o-ray, Ponder-ay or if you are feeling sassy Pon-duh-ray.”

SCOTCHMAN PEAKS BARLEY VODKA ($22.95)—Not a lot comes off the nose, despite its unique use of barley as a base. One taster claimed to detect a note of grass clippings. In the mouth, the Scotchman Peaks (named for the high mountains that skirt the Idaho-Montana border near the Clark Fork River) feels rounded and generally inoffensive. We mixed it with grapefruit juice, a splash of soda water and a lemon garnish. It was the clear winner of the bunch as far as a relaxed cocktail goes.

Bottoms Up: Cheers to this scrappy little distillery for its experimentation, humor and unique offerings. Mill Town’s corn is clearly where its craft shines, but it’s an acquired taste. The Wildman was too wild for us, but you could do a lot worse for vodka. Meanwhile, we’d suggest going for a lower priced rum for mixing.

CITIZEN KEN MORRIS

STE VE N JA M ES C O L L I N S

Meet the descendant of both Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington GEORGE PRENTICE

One of Ken Morris’s earliest memories is of spending summers in his family’s beach home on Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay. At the top of the stairs was a larger-than-life portrait of an impeccably dressed Frederick Douglass.

“I would try to snake pass the portrait but I imagined this deep baritone voice bellowing, ‘You will do great things, young man.’ I started to feel the weight of expectation,” said Morris.

With good reason. Morris is a direct descendant of two of the most important names in American history: he’s the greatgreat-great grandson of Douglass and the great-great grandson of Booker T. Washington. In anticipation of his Tuesday, April 19 appearance at Boise’s Morrison Center, where he’ll be honored by the Wassmuth Center for Human Rights, Morris spoke with Boise Weekly about his bloodlines and his advocacy to address what he calls the contemporary slavery spectrum.

Can you define contemporary slavery?

I’m assuming we’re talking about human trafficking, yes?

When you boil down the elements of slavery—history or contemporary—it’s about profit. And today, selling people is a multibillion dollar industry. When the Emancipation Proclamation was signed and the 13th Amendment was ratified, a good many people thought slavery had ended. But institutionalized, illegal slavery continues.

Do you have a sense of why contemporary slavery is not on the radar of most Americans? Is it because we don’t put a face or voice to the issue?

When you look at cancer or HIV/AIDS, we all know someone who has been affected.

It’s easy to connect. Unless your family has been touched by, say, forced prostitution, it’s hard to wrap our minds around that there are indeed humans evil enough to sell other humans. And a lot of people think that contempoary slavery is too big of a problem for one person to do anything about it.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

To that end, is it fair to say that contemporary slavery touches our lives more than we recognize?

It’s the child in West Africa, climbing trees to harvest your cocoa. It’s the little girl in India doing needle work for the rugs we stand on. It’s the boys swimming in disease-infested waters to harvest the fish that go into our markets. And of course, it’s the children who are sold over and over again as sex slaves. Frederick Douglass said, “It’s easier to build strong children than repair broken men.”

What’s your earliest memory of learning about your bloodlines?

Can you imagine seeing your ancestors on money, stamps or statues? I would go to dedications of schools or libraries and some of the older folks wanted to touch my cheek or my hand. It was rather intimidating.

And your own children?

I have two daughters, 17 and 21 years old.

They’re the reason I do this work. My younger daughter, Nicole, and I were back East, visiting campuses because she’ll be off to college this fall. We were at Ithaca College, not far from where Frederick Douglass spoke, fighting for the rights of African Americans, for women, for all people. We stood on that campus and wondered if he ever would have imagined that one of his descendants would, some day, go to that college up on the hill. It really hit home. My daughters may act like they’re not impressed in front of me, but I hear them talking about it often with their friends. And, on Feb. 1 of this year, the Google search engine of the day was Frederick Douglass. They knew their family had hit the big time when their friends said, “Wow.” Idaho’s history has included racism, sexism and xenophobia. That said, in the heart of Boise is our Anne Frank Memorial, where the words of Frederick Douglass are etched into stone.

That’s wonderful. I had planned on doing some research on Boise and that makes me excited to learn more.

IN THE DISTRICT COURT FOR THE FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT FOR THE STATE OF IDAHO, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF ADA RE: Aiden Douglas Warner and Mi-

his doses of crazy wisdom is just what you need to hear right now.

“Whatever you resist you become,” he says. “If you resist anger, you are always angry. If you resist sadness, you are always sad. If you resist suffering, you are always suffering.

If you resist confusion, you are always confused. We think that we resist certain states because they are there, but actually they are there because we resist them.” Can you wrap your imagination around Adyashanti’s counsel, Libra? I hope so, because the key to dissipating at least some of the dicey stuff that has been tweaking you lately is to STOP RESISTING IT!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Friedrich Nietzsche published his first book, The Birth of Tragedy, in 1872, when he was 28 years old. In 1886, he put out a revised edition that included a preface entitled “An Attempt at SelfCriticism.” In this unprecedented essay, he said that he now found his text “clumsy and embarrassing, its images frenzied and confused, sentimental, uneven in pace, so sure of its convictions that it is above any need for proof.” And yet he also glorified The Birth of Tragedy, praising it for its powerful impact on the world, for its “strange knack of seeking out its fellow-revelers and enticing them on to new secret paths and dancing-places.” In accordance with the astrological omens, Sagittarius, I invite you to engage in an equally brave and celebratory re-evaluation of some of your earlier life and work.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): “When I discover who I am, I’ll be free,” said novelist Ralph Ellison.

Would you consider making that a paramount theme in the coming weeks? Will you keep it in the forefront of your mind and be vigilant for juicy clues that might show up in the experiences coming your way?

In suggesting that you do, I’m not guaranteeing that you will gather numerous extravagant insights about your true identity and thereby achieve a blissful eruption of total liberation. But I suspect that at the very least you will understand previously hidden mysteries about your primal nature. And as they come into focus, you will indeed be led in the direction of cathartic emancipation.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “We never know the wine we are becoming while we are being crushed like grapes,” said author Henri Nouwen. I don’t think that’s true in your case, Taurus. Any minute now, you could get a clear intuition about what wine you will ultimately turn into once the grape-crushing stage ends. So my advice is to expect that clear intuition. Once you’re in possession of it, I bet the crushing will begin to feel more like a massage—maybe even a series of strong but tender caresses.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your sustaining mantra for the

coming weeks comes from Swedish poet Tomas Tranströmer: “I am not empty; I am open.” Say that aloud whenever you’re inclined to feel lonely or lost. “I am not empty; I am open.” Whisper it to yourself as you wonder about the things that used to be important but no longer are.

“I am not empty; I am open.” Allow it to loop through your imagination like a catchy song lyric whenever you’re tempted to feel melancholy about vanished certainties or unavailable stabilizers or missing fillers. “I am not empty; I am open.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you are close to tapping into hidden powers, dormant talents, and future knowledge. Truths that have been off-limits are on the verge of catching your attention and revealing themselves. Secrets you have been concealing from yourself are ready to be plucked and transformed.

And now I will tell you a trick you can use that will enable you to fully cash in on these pregnant possibilities: Don’t adopt a passive wait-and-see attitude. Don’t expect everything to happen on its own.

Instead, be a willful magician who aggressively collects and activates the potential gifts.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): This would be a perfect moment to give yourself a new nickname like “Sugar Pepper” or “Honey Chili” or

24 | APRIL 13–19, 2016 | BOISEweekly

“Itchy Sweet.” It’s also a favorable time to explore the joys of running in slow motion or getting a tattoo of a fierce howling bunny or having gentle sex standing up. This phase of your cycle is most likely to unfold with maximum effectiveness if you play along with its complicated, sometimes paradoxical twists and turns. The more willing you are to celebrate life’s riddles as blessings in disguise, the more likely you’ll be to use the riddles to your advantage.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Right about now you might be feeling a bit extreme, maybe even zealous or melodramatic. I wouldn’t be surprised if you were tempted to make outlandish expostulations similar to those that the poet Arthur Rimbaud articulated in one of his histrionic poems: “What beast must I worship? What sacred images should I destroy? What hearts shall I break? What lies am I supposed to believe?” I encourage you to articulate salty sentiments like these in the coming days—with the understanding that by venting your intensity you won’t need to actually act it all out in real life. In other words, allow your fantasy life and creative artistry to be boisterous outlets for emotions that shouldn’t necessarily get translated into literal behavior.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Adyashanti is my favorite mindscrambling philosopher. One of

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): During every election season, media pundits exult in criticizing candidates who have altered their opinions about important issues.

This puzzles me. In my understanding, an intelligent human is always learning new information about how the world works, and is therefore constantly evolving his or her beliefs and ideas. I don’t trust people who stubbornly cling to all of their musty dogmas. I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because the coming weeks will be an especially ripe time for you to change your mind about a few things, some of them rather important.

Be alert for the cues and clues that will activate dormant aspects of your wisdom. Be eager to see further and deeper.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Go back to where you started and learn to love it more.” So advised Thaddeus Golas in his book The Lazy Man’s Guide to Enlightenment. I think that’s exactly what you should do right now, Capricorn. To undertake such a quest would reap longlasting benefits. Here’s what I propose: First, identify three dreams that are important for your future.

Next, brainstorm about how you could return to the roots of your

relationships with them. Finally, reinvigorate your love for those dreams. Supercharge your excitement about them.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “What am I doing here in midair?” asks Ted Hughes in his poem “Wodwo.” Right about now you might have an urge to wonder that yourself. The challenging part of your situation is that you’re unanchored, unable to find a firm footing. The fun part is that you have an unusual amount of leeway to improvise and experiment.

Here’s a suggestion: Why not focus on the fun part for now? You just may find that doing so will minimize the unsettled feelings.

I suspect that as a result you will also be able to accomplish some interesting and unexpected work.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): How many fireflies would you have to gather together in order to create a light as bright as the sun? Entomologist Cole Gilbert estimates the number to be 14,286,000,000. That’s probably beyond your ability to accomplish, Pisces, so I don’t recommend you attempt it. But I bet you could pull off a more modest feat with a similar theme: accumulating a lot of small influences that add up to a big effect. Now is an excellent time to capitalize on the power of gradual, incremental progress.

BUFF BERNIE: A COLORING BOOK FOR BERNIACS

$GYLFH IRU WKRVH RQ WKH YHUJH

DEAR MINERVA, I have a big problem with flashbacks. Everyone tells me that I can get through it, but the problem is, I don’t think I can.

People say the only thing that will help is to go with the flow, but the flashbacks keep getting worse, and I have no idea what to do. I already have a counselor. Please write back.

—Flashback to Black

DEAR FLASH, First of all, if your friends have never been in a position where they were dealing with flashbacks, they most likely won’t understand it isn’t something you can just turn off. To “go with the flow” isn’t necessarily an option. You mentioned you have a counselor, which is good. I am just a highly opinionated person with a lot of complex life experiences that give me a unique perspective on the bizarreness of life, but I don’t have the training to offer you any advice other than if you aren’t making improvements in your situation with the counselor you have, consider seeking out a mental health professional who specializes in what you are suffering with.

What I do know from my own personal trauma is that, while I can never go back and change what happened to me, I commit to working through it, even though I sometimes have really bad days. I hope you seek meaningful help. Best of luck, sweetness.

For most people, the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is probably not his shredded, rippling quads. The Democratic Socialist presidential contender’s bronzed beach bod rustling against his gray suit doesn’t drown out the sounds of his blistering critiques of the War on Drugs, the involvement of big business in politics or crippling student debt. $9 Amazon.com That doesn’t mean there aren’t Berniacs in the stands at his rallies wishing they could grate cheese on the insurgent candidate’s abs. For them, there’s Buff Bernie: A Coloring Book for Berniacs, by Nicole Daddona.

For $9 on Amazon.com, Bernophiles can color Sanders, his face superimposed on a totally swole, bodybuilding competition-ready physique, the color of justice and the return of integrity to American politics—whatever that color may be.
