FAITH, FRIENDSHIP AND BOB Currently, there are no legal consequences for Idaho parents who deny their children medical care on religious grounds.

Mariah Walton is one of those children. Raised by a fundamentalist Mormon family in Declo, she was born with a congenital heart defect that could likely have been repaired early on with surgery. Instead, says Walton—who now needs a heart and lung transplant—her parents used vitamins and prayer to alleviate her symptoms. Walton told Boise Weekly News Editor George Prentice she’s angry and wants to see her parents prosecuted for child medical neglect. Read more from Walton on Page 5.

At a legislative panel that convened Aug. 4, social workers, a prosecutor and a victim of faith healing made the case that the loophole for parents who pray rather than take their sick or injured children to the doctor should be closed Boise Weekly Staff Writer Harrison Berry has the story of that legislative panel, as well as the voices of those who say the faith healing exemption in Idaho law is an injustice, and a speaker for the Followers of Christ, who said if Idaho removes that exemption, he and other members of his church will hit the road in search of a new place to freely practice their faith. Get the full story on Page 6.

Speaking of hitting the road, Boise Weekly Associate Publisher Amy Atkins interviewed Patrick Gray and Justin Skeesuck, best friends and the subjects of our story on Page 7, after they returned from their 500-mile walk across the Camino de Santiago in Spain.

She was waiting to run the story closer to the release date of I’ll Push You, a documentary about the duo’s trip, but the release has been pushed back a few times and is now tentatively set for late 2017. Atkins found Gray and Skeesuck so inspiring, she didn’t want to wait any longer to share their story with BW readers, so you’ll find it starting on Page 7.

CITIZEN MARIAH WALTON

A matter of faith and death GEORGE PRENTICE

Don’t let her picture fool you. Most days, Mariah Walton is angry. The daughter of fundamentalist Mormons (and one of nine children), Walton never received any formal health care, in spite of what she said were regular pleas for help.

She didn’t even have a birth certificate or Social Security number when, after turning 18, she finally went to a doctor. The news wasn’t good: Walton suffers from severe pulmonary hypertension. Her lungs are damaged, putting her at high risk of infection—she has been at death’s door several times.

In April of this year, Walton, now 21, was a guest on the Today Show and Good Morning America, and millions of Americans learned of her struggle. More importantly, they heard her insist Idaho law needs to protect children from parents who use their faith as a shield when accused of neglecting their children’s well-being.

Tell me about the day you first heard a healthcare professional say something was wrong.

I had just turned 18, and I told my dad that if he didn’t drive me to a doctor, I would call the police. To be clear, he drove me, but he didn’t really take me to the doctor. It was a raw, nerve-wracking day. The doctor said I had about five years to live. My parents weren’t supportive.

One of my sisters, Rachel, stepped in and made sure I got to a hospital in Spokane for more tests.

That’s where I got my formal diagnosis.

What changed for you medically?

They said I had to start taking quite a few medications and eventually get on a list for a heart/lung transplant.

You’re not currently on a waiting list for a transplant.

I’m not strong enough, and I don’t weigh enough but eventually, my medicines won’t be effective any more.

I understand you have some severe sideeffects from at least one of those meds.

It’s called Remodulin. It’s very strong and slows down the heart and opens up the lungs more. It’s a patch on my skin, but sometimes, it causes a sharp, throbbing, constant pain.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Can I assume that you ultimately were accepted by the state of Idaho as a Medicaid patient?

It took quite a bit, because I didn’t even have a birth certificate. It took months.

Your mother has been on television insisting this is not a debate about faith healing.

Instead, she says she and your father depended on naturopathic medicine.

What she said is not accurate.

When was the last time you saw your parents?

My mother comes to visit me on occasion. I really want to go to counseling with her. We’re talking about it. My dad still refuses.

You haven’t been shy about talking to lawmakers or a national TV audience about your plight. Where does that resolve come from?

I have a lot of anger. I’m angry about 80 percent of the time.

My sense is we’ll be debating this issue again during the 2017 session of the Idaho Legislature.

We keep telling legislators that we need help, but someone at the Legislature needs to step up.

This is real life and death. A lot of people may say, ‘Oh, any parent ought to be responsible for taking care of this, not the government.’ But if a parent hasn’t taken that responsibility, somebody needs to step in.

Some people look at possible legislation as a threat to their religious freedoms.

Freedom of religion doesn’t say that children should die. It doesn’t say it in the Constitution, the Bible or the Book of Mormon.

You have said in the past your parents should be charged as criminals.

I don’t think it will happen. If it did, I would be happy. They need some jail time to bring them from fantasy to reality.

I find it difficult to believe you’re angry 80 percent of the time.

Maybe 60 percent.

NEWS CHILD NEGLECT BY ANY OTHER NAME Voices but no action from the Idaho Legislature’s faith healing panel HARRISON BERRY “There are children in those graves, and we don’t know who they are or how old they are,” Walton said.

For her, medical neglect among radical religious groups like FOC is a problem obscured by their secretiveness. They give birth at home and keep few records accessible to local governments.

When she was admitted to the hospital for the first time, Walton didn’t have a birth certificate or social security number.

Earlier this year, the Idaho Child Fatality Review Team issued its annual report with data collated from 2013. It determined five Idaho

RYAN JOHNSON

The controversy started in April, when The Guardian published a story about Mariah Walton. Walton, who now lives in Boise, was raised in a Mormon fundamentalist home in the small northern Idaho town of Declo. She was born with a congenital hole in her heart that early surgical intervention would likely have repaired.

She didn’t have surgery, though, and now she needs a heart and lung transplant.

Walton said her parents treated her symptoms with prayer and natural remedies like vitamins—and, she said, they never took her to a doctor. For that, she’d like to see her parents prosecuted, but it’s unlikely that will happen because in Idaho, parents who deny medical treatment for their children on religious grounds can’t be prosecuted for medical neglect. It’s a door cracked open for faith healing in the Gem State—and one many want closed.

“We would like to see this exemption lifted,” said Ada County Prosecutor’s Office Special Crimes Unit Chief Jean Fisher. “I don’t think the rights of parents should so supercede the rights of the child.”

Fisher addressed this comment to the Children at Risk-Faith Healing Working Group, an interim committee of the Idaho Legislature, which held its first public meeting Aug. 4 at the Idaho Statehouse. The committee declined to recommend any action, and though Sen. Dan Johnson (RLewiston) promised the panel would reconvene at a later time to continue discussion of the issue, he didn’t set a date for a future meeting. Instead of delivering action to criminalize a practice many say is nothing more than child medical neglect protected by freedom of religion, it received input—almost all of it demonstrating the harms of faith healing or outright calling for lifting the exemption.

One of those voices came from Linda Martin, a former member of Followers of Christ (FOC), a Christian sect active in southwest Idaho that practices faith healing. She said she had lobbied the Idaho Legislature for three years to close the religious exemption, and lost family members as children to treatable illnesses like diabetes and bronchial pneumonia. She then recalled the now-infamous scene at the Peaceful Valley Cemetery near Caldwell, where FOC has buried more than 200 children in the last century.

infants had died that year from lack of medical intervention. In the past three years, 10 infants and children died under preventable or treatable circumstances ranging from intestinal blockages, meconium aspiration and sepsis. The report acknowledged its data may be incomplete because it had been obtained from death certificates and coroner’s reports.

“Since Vital Statistics does not compile the number of deaths in this category, it is difficult to estimate the actual number of preventable deaths to children of religious objectors,” the report said.

The problem of underreporting child injuries and deaths due to the religious exception has stymied state groups. According to Roxanne

Printz of the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, her department could substantiate 13 cases of medical neglect, regardless of religious objection, out of a total of 22,000 calls generally pertaining to children’s welfare. When asked by Sen. Janet Trujillo (R-Idaho Falls) if the state was fulfilling its duty to protect its children, Nicole McKay, Health and Human Services division chief of the Idaho Attorney General’s office said, “If [incidents of child medical neglect] don’t come to the attention of the state, then no.”

Walton wasn’t in attendance at the panel, but her sister, Sara Brady, was there to defend her parents against allegations that they’d needlessly endangered Walton. She denied that she or her parents denied her ill sister access to doctors and decried the “politicization” of her sister’s illness.

“No one was turning a blind eye to a child in need of immediate medical care,” Walton said.

Brady’s testimony, however, was a pivotal moment for articulating the argument against revisiting the religious exemption, couching her parents’ search for non-medical care for their daughter in the language of liberty and preserving medical choice.

“At what point do we stop having a law for everything?” she asked the panel.

In fact, removing the exemption would equalize administering justice to parents accused of child medical neglect, regardless of motivation; but the ideals of personal choice were invoked by another defender of faith healing, Followers of Christ member Dan Sevy, who told the panel he and his fellow church members would continue to rely on faith to heal their injured and sick, even if the Idaho Legislature outlawed the practice. When asked how he would balance the right to free religious practice with the state’s duty to protect children, Sevy said the solution is “recognize faith healing, because treatment is treatment.”

“We each should have a personal choice for the health of ourselves and our families,” he said.

The Followers of Christ, he said, are fundamentally at odds with evidence-based science.

He offered histories of the words “medicine” and “pharmaceutical” that suggested the concept of modern medicine has its origins in paganism.

“We believe pharmaceuticals and medicine are from Satan,” he said. “That is our belief, and use it to condemn no one but ourselves.”

I’LL LET YOU PUSH ME Patrick Gray and Justin Skeesuck walked the 500-mile Camino de Santiago in 2013, but their journey began more than 40 years ago.

Their story is one of friendship, hardship, loss, love and learning how to accept help.

atrick Gray’s deep voice cracked as he spoke to the parishioners in 7 the ultra-modern Tree City Nazarene Church on a Sunday morning. Nearly every seat in the cavernous hall was filled and nearly everyone’s attention was on the two men on stage—only the very young and the very old occasionally drifted off— and the slideshow moving across the giant screen above them. Gray paused as a photo of several people pushing a man in a wheelchair up a steep muddy incline faded in. His voice caught and a few tears dropped onto the front of his crisp, plaid shirt.

“It’s your story,” Gray said, looking down at Justin Skeesuck (pronounced SKEE-zuck), his friend of nearly 40 years. Skeesuck, who has no use of his arms or legs, smiled, used his head to shift his body a fraction in his wheelchair and began to talk about the 500mile journey the two men took across the Camino de Santiago (a.k.a. St. James’ Way) trail and how they returned with more than stories, pictures, a documentary film in the making, and a stronger sense of faith—they came home with a deeper appreciation of what it means to help someone and, more importantly, what a gift it is to ask for and accept help.

BFFS Gray and Skeesuck were born 36 hours apart in the Idaho border town of Ontario, Ore., in 1975.

“We were friends from the get-go,” Gray said.

They attended the same schools, went to the same church and played the same sports.

“Pat suckered me into playing football one year [in high school]. It was the worst football experience of my life,”Skeesuck said, Gray added, laughing, “It was the only football experience of your life. The thing was, I just wanted someone worse than me on the team, so I asked him.”

Though they both swear it’s true, even if it wasn’t, Skeesuck probably would have joined the team with Gray anyway. The two boys did everything together: family activities, church activities, even dating a few of the same girls.

Their parents were friends; their grandparents were friends.

“We lived life together from day one,” Gray said.

Unfortunately, at the young age of 16, Skeesuck would take a hit (literally) that would slam the brakes on his idyllic smalltown existence and set the course for his future.

With their high-school basketball team scheduled to play a tournament, Gray headed

to the game with the rest of the team, and Skeesuck rode with a friend. On the freeway, going about 85 mph, the car carrying Skeesuck and his friend was in a terrible accident. Miraculously, the boys walked away, but Skeesuck soon began to show symptoms of a progressive congenital neuromuscular disease lying undetected in his body: Multifocal Acquired Motor Axonopathy. It caused Skeesuck’s autoimmune system to attack his nervous system, which sporadically shuts down, causing his muscles to atrophy. The disease itself doesn’t cause pain, and he still has full sensory awareness.

“I can feel everything, head to toe,” he said.

And though the atrophying began just months after the accident, for a while, Skeesuck could still do most things—using a special brace, he could still play tennis and soccer. Before too long, Gray and Skeesuck finished high school and headed off to college, and though Gray chose a Nazarene college in Idaho and Skeesuck a Nazarene university in Southern California, they remained close.

“We stayed in touch pretty regularly all through college,” Gray said. “He was my best friend through high school. It’s kind of a weird situation because of most of your high school friendships, you might have a few that you sustain in a surface way, but that

intimacy doesn’t exist. Whether we made it a point or God made it a point … we’d be on the phone every couple of weeks. I’d go down at least once a year to visit Justin, he’d come up here at least once a year to visit me, and he’d come home in the summers to work.”

Though Skeesuck stayed in California after college, he and Gray served as best man in each other’s weddings and the couples vacationed together numerous times. As the relationship between the two men continued to grow, Skeesuck’s body steadily weakened.

THE PERMANENT LOSS OF MUSCULAR COORDINATION MAMA is insidious. It progresses, then plateaus. Progresses, then plateaus. Over a period of years, Skeesuck lost function in his left foot, then his left leg, then his right foot, then right leg—his torso and arms initially remained unaffected. For a long time, he could still get around, but with each loss came another walking aid: He went from using braces, to a cane, to a cane and braces, to a walker and braces to a manual wheelchair for longer distances.

“There was never a point where I just [gave up], but there were definitely points in my life where I’ve been like, ‘C’mon. Give me a break here,’” Skeesuck said, a slight edge slipping into his voice. “Definitely as the BOISE WEEKLY.COM

disease has progressed as I get older, it would almost be easier to be a paraplegic, because then I’d know I was going to be that way for the rest of my life. It’s pretty much fixed, whereas mine constantly changes. Adaptation has been a major part of how I’ve had to live life. I had to re-learn methodologies: how to get my clothes on, brush my teeth, eat, go to the bathroom, shower. Stuff that you do every day, I had to learn how to do over, and over, and over. I had to adapt again, and again, and again. And as I’ve lost function, I’ve lost the ability to adapt and have to rely on others,” he said, emphasizing how reliant he is on Gray, his children and his wife, and how grateful he is for them.

“My wife is pretty bad-ass,” he said smiling, the edge gone.

For Skeesuck, even the smallest tasks require assistance—as do the most personal and intimate ones—and as MAMA eradicated his muscles, it opened his eyes. He began to see that what he perceived as a burden, someone else might see as an opportunity. People wanted to help him. All he had to do was ask.

“Even strangers have helped me along the way,” Skeesuck said. “Here’s a funny but very humbling story. My wife was out with my boys, and I was home with my daughter, who was maybe 2 at the time. Um … nature called. Nature of a serious nature. I was at BOISE WEEKLY.COM

the point in my disease where I could still get onto the toilet but just barely, and knew my wife wouldn’t be home for awhile. And then I couldn’t get my pants button undone. I tried for 45 minutes. I was even asking my 2-yearold to help. She was willing to help, but she didn’t have the strength. I was thinking, ‘This is not going to end well,’ and all of a sudden I hear [the doorbell]. It’s my water delivery guy, who I had built a relationship with over the course of a year or so. I opened the door, and I said, ‘Dude, I need your help. This isn’t in your job description, but could you unbutton my pants?’ He said, ‘No problem, man!’ and I raced to the bathroom. Stuff like that happens all the time. I’ve had neighbors come over and pull up my pants, or get me up off the floor. It’s very humbling. You could go two ways: You could have a sense of gratitude or you could feel pure embarrassment and anger,” Skeesuck said. “Through all of those moments, I’ve learned how to ask for and accept help … I found when you deny someone the opportunity to help you, you deny them a joy in life.”

Skeesuck has also learned that no matter how inconsequential or over-thetop the request, there is probably someone in his life who won’t think 10 twice before answering, “Yes.” Gray is definitely that someone.

THE ROAD MORE TRAVELED The Camino de Santiago is actually 9 a web of routes through Europe and Spain, all of which end at the Santiago de Compostela cathedral in Galicia in northwestern Spain. It has been a Christian pilgrimage route for more than a thousand years, and tens of thousands of travelers have walked its trails, starting from any one of a number of places, including from the French side of the Pyrenees Mountains, the Basque Country, Andalusia and Portugal. The Camino has modernized over the centuries, and amenities like food and lodging exist all along the trail. But it is still a 500-mile walk. It’s an arduous trek at best—crazy to even consider for someone who uses a wheelchair.

Then, in 2010, everything changed.

“It was the worst year of my life,” Skeesuck said. “I was really put to the test.”

Skeesuck was a talented graphic designer and because his atrophy had been contained to his lower body, he had been able to work.

But in 2010, he noticed a weakness in his right shoulder. Within 45 days, he had lost 60-70 percent use of his arm.

“I’m not going to lie,” he said. “It sucked … what was left of my positive nature and my resilience was gone.”

As Skeesuck looked at a life of utter dependency on others, he hit bottom. Rather than dive headfirst into the darkness, though, he made a conscious decision to “buck up,” 10 c AUGUST 10–16, 2016 c BOISEweekly

surround himself with loved ones and figure out how to make the best of the situation. He decided, yet again, to adapt.

He started to set goals for himself.

“I really don’t share this that often, but I wanted to be there to walk my daughter down the aisle,” Skeesuck said. “If I’ve got air in my lungs, I’m going to be there.”

He was determined to take things day by day. Then, the Camino called.

It was spring 2012 on a Saturday like any other Saturday. Skeesuck was watching an episode of PBS show Rick Steves’ Europe on Spain, which included a short segment about the history of the Camino de Santiago.

“I thought, ‘Why can’t I do that?’,” Skeesuck said.

“That’s not really part of his chemistry,” Gray added, laughing. “It’s always why not.

Not why, but why not.”

For a few years, Skeesuck and Gray had been talking about just the two of them taking a trip together and had nearly settled on going to Germany for Oktoberfest. Gray and his family arrived at their friends’ San Diego home for a planned visit a few weeks after Skeesuck had first seen the Rick Steves show—which he taped. Skeesuck asked Gray to watch it with him. Afterward, Skeesuck looked over and asked, “What do you think?”

“Sitting in my living room,” Skeesuck said, “the first thing Pat said to me was, ‘I’ll push you.’”

GO OUT AND GET WHAT YOU’RE WORTH In 2013, Skeesuck and his wife took a leap of faith and moved the family to Idaho, into a home a few blocks from the Grays. Now in the same city, the two men began training for the 500-mile Camino trek. Because a motorized wheelchair would be no match for the Pyrenees Mountains, Skeesuck had to have an off-road wheelchair built, which Gray would be pulling or pushing through every kind of terrain, while carrying a heavy pack. Gray would also be responsible for dressing, feeding and bathing both of them over the course of their nearly six-week trip, so he began endurance training, walking up and down the Foothills near his home in Eagle.

As the reality of the trip grew closer, the two men realized they could defray some expenses if they could secure some sponsors.

A local company was considering a sponsorship, and Gray and Skeesuck made a video trailer of their trip to help sell the idea. What it did, was sow the seeds for another, bolder idea: The duo would make a documentary of their Camino trip. Skeesuck got in touch with Terry Parish, a friend from college and the co-founder and CEO of video content agency Emota, to see if he could help.

“We went to Emota and said, ‘Hey. We have this idea for this journey.’ The team at Emota was immediately on board,” Skeesuck said. As the weeks passed, however, the docu-

mentary took several different forms.

“We had a grandiose plan, and then we had a bare-bones plan,” Skeesuck said. “We left May 28, 2014. The weather was good, it gave us enough time to plan and acclimate but through the whole time leading up to our departure, we had looked at getting corporations and companies involved to help fund the documentary. Basically, [they all said], ‘You haven’t gone on the journey yet, so why would we give you any money? The rationale over and over again was, ‘You haven’t done it yet, so why would we support it?’”

For the people Skeesuck and Gray approached in search of financial backing, the risk was too great.

“Part of the issue was what made it exciting for Emota: It was a story that hasn’t been told in any way, shape or form. It was completely unwritten, so, from an investment standpoint, it could be a complete crap show. We could get two weeks in, and I could break my leg. Game over. That was the [reason for] reluctance, but it’s also why Emota was so excited. Historically, documentaries are stories that have already been told. …Our story hadn’t been written yet, so [we heard] a lot of reservations about investing.”

Parish kept hitting the same walls.

“A lot of people were excited to be involved in the project but, for whatever reason, we could never connect with the right sponsors,” he said.

Grandiose or bare, however, Parish wasn’t going to walk away: He was going to walk 500 miles. So, cutting back to a skeleton crew, Parish began to film what would become I’ll Push You, a documentary that captured Gray and Skeesuck as they traveled across the world, as they set off on Camino and as they persevered through rain, heat, broken equipment, pain, exhaustion and fear. The film captures moments like Gray and Skeesuck allowing a group of fellow pilgrims to help push and pull Skeesuck’s chair up a steep muddy incline; Gray brushing Skeesuck’s teeth; the men meeting an opera singer at a crossroads; Gray confessing about feeling demoralized, but determined not to let Skeesuck know; Skeesuck breaking down as he admits how difficult it is for him to let Gray do everything. I’ll Push You also shows the men letting go of insecurities and finding strength in one another.

The release date for I’ll Push You has itself been pushed back a few times and is now tentatively scheduled for late 2017, but though it hasn’t opened in theaters across the country yet, it has opened some doors for Skeesuck and Gray.

TALKING POINTS After Gray and Skeesuck returned from the Camino, their lives changed yet again, this time for the better. Word of their trip and the documentary got around and suddenly, they were telling their story to a much BOISE WEEKLY.COM

larger audience. People, The Today Show, The Huffington Post, Fox News, The New York Daily Post, Spiegel, The Daily Mail and more carried stories of the duo’s. Gray and Skeesuck were now being hired as inspirational speakers around the United States and here at home, where they presented a TedX Talk and were guest speakers at a huge 2015 event hosted by law firm Moffatt Thomas, at the behest of attorney Stephen Thomas, who also walked the Camino in 2013.

After a speaking engagement in Chicago, Gray and Skeesuck met Chris Portwood and her husband Brian, a 28-year-survivor of brain cancer. They struck up a conversation and became fast friends.

“God put Justin and Patrick in our path,” Chris said.

Because they can’t meet everyone in person, Gray and Skeesuck launched The Disabled Traveler website, which is dedicated to providing travel tips and resources for people with disabilities, as well as education on accessibility, etiquette and even architectural aesthetics for companies that provide services for people with disabilities. The two men were getting so busy, Gray quit his job to focus on The Disabled Traveler. It was a risky move, but for these two friends, that’s just how they roll.

AMY HELM AND THE HANDSOME STRANGERS, AUG. 10 In a 2015 interview with Rolling Stone, musician Amy Helm (Ollabelle, Midnight Ramble Band) explained how “life changes”—including the 2012 death of her father, Band drummer/rock icon Levon Helm—affected recording Didn’t It Rain (Ent. One Music, 2015), her first album under her own name.

“I was facing the end of my marriage and delivered my second baby boy, and everything just shifted all at once. When that happens ... you have to reach deep down and let yourself get very vulnerable.”

Didn’t It Rain was executive produced by her father and Helm told RS he had wanted her to record a solo album for a long time.

“I think he was really excited to watch me take what I had learned and the musical musculature I had developed ... and try it in new waters,” she said. “He had that vision for me before I had it for myself.”

Film School workshop, and this year, the San Francisco School of Digital Filmmaking will hold a two-day workshop (two four-hour sessions) at JUMP. Most importantly, IHFF strives to get Idaho filmmakers involved. There’s a locals-only category—called Spud and Guts—and Idahoans aren’t charged for their submissions.

“We have filmmakers from Australia, Portugal, Finland. They come from all over,” said Deckart. “But film and film culture struggle in Idaho and by making the festival submissions free for Idahoans, we hope to grow the culture here in Idaho.”

Deckart’s team is ginning up excitement for the festival months in advance with screenings of horror classics.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, IHFF will screen Jaws in the pool at Boise Racquet and Swim Club on Saturday, Aug. 13. Saturday, Sept. 10, see Night of the Living Dead with a buffet from Angell’s Bar and Grill Renato at the second annual Horror on the Lawn.

A lot goes into Idaho Horror Film Festival, but Deckart and her colleagues aren’t afraid of a little hard work because as soon as the curtains close on the last day of the festival, preparation begins for the next.

IDAHO SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL’S TWELFTH NIGHT—BRING ON THE BELLY LAUGHS Nobody writes a fool like the Bard, and nowhere are his comedic skills on better display than in Idaho Shakespeare Festival’s newest production, Twelfth Night, which runs through Sunday, Aug. 28.

The strong ensemble cast worked beautifully together, creating a parade of fools that elicited belly laughs as the production slipped fluidly between scenes. The result was a wildly funny, entertaining show—there’s a grown man in a corset thrown in for good measure. Credit also goes to veteran ISF director Drew Barr, who helped craft a high-energy, accessible interpretation of one of Shakespeare’s best-loved comedies, setting it in the Bohemian 1960s.

Twelfth Night is the ultimate tale of mistaken identities and tribulations of the heart. After a shipwreck, twins Viola (Cassandra Bissell) and Sebastian (Jonathan Christopher MacMillan) are separated, each washing up on the shore of a foreign land and thinking the other dead.

Viola disguises herself as a boy to serve as a page for Duke Orsino (Juan Rivera Lebron), who is infatuated with countess Olivia (Christine Weber), who wants nothing to do with him.

Presenting the Duke’s case to Olivia, Viola (now Cesario) inadvertently causes the Countess to fall for him/her. In true Shakespearean fashion, Viola/Cesario is in love with the Duke.

Plus, Olivia has other suitors and then there’s the sudden appearance of Sebastian, who bears a striking resemblance to Viola/Cesario, and then there are the machinations of servants and relatives … got all that?

While the entire cast is strong, the standouts were undeniably the fools, led by Aled Davies as Olivia’s uncle Sir Toby Belch, Tom Ford as Olivia’s would-be suitor Sir Andrew Aguecheek, M.A. Taylor as the too-smart-for-hisown-good jester Feste, and Lynn Robert Berg as Olivia’s full-of-himself steward Malvolio. They owned the show, fleshing out full characters, not caricatures, creating moments so funny, the audience’s laughter occasionally drowned out dialogue. Additionally, kudos to musical director Joel Mercier for his smart use of live music.

If you want to forget the gym for a day, see ISF’s Twelfth Night. Your stomach muscles will definitely get a workout.

the most well-documented UFO cases of all time. The event took place in Arizona Nov. 5, 1975 when a logging crew of 7 men encounters a craft of unknown origin. Travis disappeared for five days, igniting a firestorm of controversy aimed at the logging crew who were the last to see him in the forest. The film documents how these men struggle to make sense of the event enduring humiliation, job losses and lifelong ridicule.

BW KICKS AT THE BALCONY...

You kicked me in the nuts while we were dancing. I know this might sound weird but I actually liked it? Like I said it might sound a bit odd but wondering if you would ever consider meeting up downtown and booting me in my nuts again. You could get out some of the built up aggression you so obviously have and I can explore this strange new fetish?

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Using scissors, snip off a strand of your hair. As you do, sing a beloved song with uplifting lyrics.

Seal the hair in an envelope on which you have written the following: “I am attracting divine prods and unpredictable nudges that will enlighten me about a personal puzzle that I am ready to solve.” On each of the next five nights, kiss this package five times and place it beneath your pillow as you sing a beloved song with uplifting lyrics.

Then observe your dreams closely.

Keep a pen and notebook or audio recorder near your bed to capture any clues that might arrive. On the morning after the fifth night, go to your kitchen sink and burn the envelope and hair in the flame of a white candle. Chant the words of power: “Catalytic revelations and insights are arriving.” The magic you need will appear within 15 days.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): This would be a good time to have a master craftsperson decorate your headquarters with stained glass windows that depict the creation stories of your favorite indigenous culture. You might also benefit from hiring a feng shui consultant to help you design a more harmonious home environment. Here are some cheaper but equally effective ways to promote domestic bliss: Put images of your heroes on your walls. Throw out

stuff that makes you feel cramped.

Add new potted plants to calm your eyes and nurture your lungs. If you’re feeling especially experimental, build a shrine devoted to the Goddess of Ecstatic Nesting.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You Geminis are as full of longings as any other sign, but you have a tendency to downplay their intensity. How often do you use your charm and wit to cloak your burning, churning yearnings? Please don’t misunderstand me: I appreciate your refined expressions of deep feelings -- as long as that’s not a way to hide your deep feelings from yourself. This will be an especially fun and useful issue for you to meditate on in the coming weeks. I advise you to be in very close touch with your primal urges.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Let’s assume, for the sake of fun argument, that you do indeed have a guardian angel. Even if you have steadfastly ignored this divine helper in the past, I’m asking you to strike up a close alliance in the coming weeks. If you need to engage in an elaborate game of imaginative pretending to make it happen, so be it. Now let me offer a few tips about your guardian angel’s potential purposes in your life: providing sly guidance about how to take good care of yourself; quietly reminding you where your next liberation may lie; keeping you on track to consistently shed the past and head toward the future; and kicking your ass so as to steer you away from questionable influences. OK? Now go claim your sublime assistance!

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Be vulnerable and sensitive as well as insatiable and irreverent.

Cultivate your rigorous skepticism, but expect the arrival of at least two freaking miracles. Be extra nurturing to allies who help you and sustain you, but also be alert for those moments when they may benefit from your rebellious provocations. Don’t take anything too personally or literally or seriously, even as you treat the world as a bountiful source of gifts and blessings. Be sure to regard love as your highest law, and laugh at fear at least three times every day.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Although you may not yet be fully aware of your good fortune, your “rescue” is already underway.

Furthermore, the so-called hardship you’ve been lamenting will soon lead you to a trick you can use to overcome one of your limitations. Maybe best of all, Virgo, a painful memory you have coddled for a long time has so thoroughly decayed that there’s almost nothing left to cling to. Time to release it!

So what comes next? Here’s what I recommend: Throw a going-away party for everything you no longer need. Give thanks to the secret

24 c AUGUST 10–16, 2016 c BOISEweekly

intelligence within you that has guided you to this turning point.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Here comes a special occasion -- a radical exemption that is so rare as to be almost impossible. Are you ready to explore a blessing you have perhaps never experienced?

For a brief grace period, you can be free from your pressing obsessions.

Your habitual attachments and unquenchable desires will leave you in peace. You will be relieved of the drive to acquire more possessions or gather further proof of your attractiveness. You may even arrive at the relaxing realization that you don’t require as many props and accessories as you imagined you needed to be happy and whole.

Is enlightenment nigh? At the very least, you will learn how to derive more joy out of what you already have.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the coming weeks, I suspect that Life will attempt to move you away from any influences that interfere with your ability to discern and express your soul’s code. You know what I’m talking about when I use that term “soul’s code,” right? It’s your sacred calling; the blueprint of your destiny; the mission you came to earth to fulfill. So what does it mean if higher powers and mysterious forces are clearing away obstacles that have been preventing you from a more complete

embodiment of your soul’s code?

Expect a breakthrough that initially resembles a breakdown.

the fun adventures you could be pursuing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Maybe you know people who flee from the kind of Big Bold Blankness that’s visiting you, but I hope you won’t be tempted to do that. Here’s my counsel: Welcome your temporary engagement with emptiness Celebrate this opening into the unknown. Ease into the absence.

Commune with the vacuum. Ask the nothingness to be your teacher.

What’s the payoff? This is an opportunity to access valuable secrets about the meaning of your life that aren’t available when you’re feeling full. Be gratefully receptive to what you don’t understand and can’t control.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): What you are most afraid of right now could become what fuels you this fall. Please note that I used the word “could.” In the style of astrology I employ, there is no such thing as predestination. So if you prefer, you may refuse to access the rich fuel that’s available. You can keep your scary feelings tucked inside your secret hiding place, where they will continue to fester. You are not obligated to deal with them squarely, let alone find a way to use them as motivation. But if you are intrigued by the possibility that those murky worries might become a source of inspiration, dive in and investigate.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I placed a wager down at the astrology pool. I bet that sometime in the next three weeks, you Capricorns will shed at least some of the heavy emotional baggage that you’ve been lugging around; you will transition from ponderous plodding to curious-hearted sauntering. Why am I so sure this will occur? Because I have detected a shift in attitude by one of the most talkative little voices in your head.

It seems ready to stop tormenting you with cranky reminders of all the chores you should be doing but aren’t -- and start motivating you with sunny prompts about all

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Are you ready for your mid-term exam? Luckily I’m here to help get you into the proper frame of mind to do well. Now study the following incitements with an air of amused rebelliousness. 1. You may have to act a bit wild or unruly in order to do the right thing. 2. Loving your enemies could motivate your allies to give you more of what you need.

3. Are you sufficiently audacious to explore the quirky happiness that can come from cultivating intriguing problems? 4. If you want people to change, try this: Change yourself in the precise way you want them to change.

MINERVA’S BREAKDOWN

FREEWRITE SMART TYPEWRITER

$GYLFH IRU WKRVH RQ WKH YHUJH

DEAR MINERVA, I want to be able to do things with my friends, but my “partner” doesn’t appreciate my friends the way I do. When I have plans to do something and even want to include him, he almost always gets in the way and, ultimately, I end up missing out. What should I do?

Sincerely, On a Short Leash

DEAR SHORT LEASH, It is absolutely your right to continue to nurture relationships with your friends and whether your partner likes your friends doesn’t give him cause to keep you cooped up. Human beings are social, and we should always have the option to spend time with people we love. In my mind, it’s clearly time for a “come to Jesus” talk, where you let him know, in no uncertain terms, your friends will remain in your life. If it takes extra finessing to work the scheduling out, that is a simple enough task. If he wants to join, and that is cool with your friends, even better. If other incidents that have transpired have broken your partner’s trust in you, those will need to be addressed while you are at it. If there have been no transgressions of the sort, however, enough is enough. It is 2016, and people are not property. Now, go YouTube Leslie Gore’s “You Don’t Own Me,” and prepare to lay down the law. Just because you are partnered up doesn’t mean you don’t need friends.

There are few things more frightening to a writer than a blank page.

Some say in death, the self dissolves into the blackness like salt in boiling water; but that’s almost consolation next to a cursor blinking on an empty document, where only through feats of concentration will anything get done. Abandon all distractions with the Freewrite Smart Typewriter. A riff on the portable manual typewriters of yore, the Freewrite doesn’t have internet access or even $499, getfreewrite.com a headphone jack. Instead, it has a mechanical keyboard and an e-ink screen, so writers can get down to business without meandering down the the avoidance paths of email, social media or games.

The Freewrite has enough memory to hold around 1 million pages of text and wifi to sync documents over the cloud, and although its $499 price tag is also a little scary, write one bestseller and you’ll be laughing at fear all the way to the bank.
