EDITOR’S NOTE AN UNCONSCIOUS THEME As sometimes happens, an unconscious theme develops over the course of putting together an edition of Boise Weekly. This week it seems to be we’re considering race relations in a couple of ways. On Page 6, longtime BW freelancer Carissa Wolf traveled to the small town of Dietrich, Idaho, to ask a deceptively simple question: “Why?” Specifically, Wolf explored the varying reactions to a 2015 assault case at the rural community’s high school that continues to generate international headlines. The story began in the school’s locker room, where a couple of (white) football players bullied, harassed and ultimately assaulted a (black and mentally disabled) teammate. Considering the brutality of the attack, which involved a coat hanger, many met a judge’s ruling in February with shock and anger, as the stiffest punishment handed down was three years of probation and community service. In following the threads of the case, Wolf came up against the intersection of race, disability rights, and the definitions of masculinity and what constitutes sexual assault. On Page 18, BW Film Guru George Prentice profiled the documentary I Am Not Your Negro, which examines the life and impact of civil rights icon James Baldwin. Drawing on Baldwin’s essays, materials from his estate and archival footage—and narrated by Samuel L. Jackson—the film is a portrait of a great 20th century thinker, essayist and novelist, but also an “incendiary” (to quote the critics’ consensus on Rotten Tomatoes, where it has a 98 percent rating) tour through American race relations. Separated by decades and far removed in geography, from Dietrich to James Baldwin, these are conversations and issues that remain lodestones in our shared social existence. —Zach Hagadone

OPINION DEFRIENDED
Here’s what happened with you and me BILL COPE This is how it felt to me—I was carrying your bucket. I picture it as one of those metal ones, three-gallon capacity or so—the sort of bucket one would get at a farm and garden store. To my mind’s eye, it is grayish-blue, like the galvanized steel nipple buckets my brothers and I used to feed calves. But the galvanization wore off. The bottom was rusted and weak. Before Nov. 8, I didn’t see the corrosion. It was filled with sand. If others share this metaphor with me, they might choose something else—perhaps even fresh, warm milk, for those who have a dairy farm in their background and know what a nipple bucket is. For me, it was sand. Fine, dry sand. And the quantity of sand it held was the measure of respect I had for you. There are varying levels of sand in the buckets I carry for each person in my life. Some have more, some less. But the sand in your bucket was substantial. More, not less. We wouldn’t have been friends had I not had a substantial respect for you. I never thought much about it until lately, but I’d have to say after what’s happened, that this is how I’ve made, and held, friends all of my life. Gotta have respect. It comes first, respect, or none of the rest can follow. So I was carrying your bucket—didn’t mind the weight because those extra pounds only meant I had more respect for you than most— and then the bottom dropped out. I can’t say it happened on Nov. 8. In the days that followed, as the nightmare we’ve entered has taken ever-more horrifying shape, the bottom has dropped out of a lot of the buckets I’ve carried. No, I can’t pin down the exact moment it happened. But once I knew for certain you had voted for that vile son of a bitch, I could never un-know it. That’s when I realized your bucket no longer weighed anything. That it was empty. ••• In the past four months, I have learned I care more for my country than I’d ever realized. I am not by nature a flag waver, a dogma thumper, a— what I consider to be the most meaningless word in the American lexicon—“patriot.” But I’ve always held an abiding trust in the eventual triumph of both American decency and American democracy. Even as wrong and unjust as some Americans can be, I have believed those wrongs and injustices are eventually corrected by the kindness of better people manifesting their benevolence through the ballot. I have believed that given enough time, information and goodwill, the majority of us will ultimately choose what is right for everyone, not just ourselves. Now, I’m not so sure.

thing so cruel as what you did in November. Truth is, it’s not that I fear Trump so much, or regard him and his spreading taint as insurmountable or irreversible. No, it’s not the rise of yet another shameless monster to the heights of power that troubles me as much as the people—you—who put him there. Trump will fall, disgraced and ruined like shameless monsters always fall. Of that, I’m convinced. But you will still be here. How can you ever be trusted to not do it again? ••• I must assume in your own way, you’re as disappointed with me as I am with you. Maybe you always thought I was a bigger man than that. But, no. I’m not. I am not a forgiving man. I am not a man who can shrug and say, Oh well, what’s past is past. I’m not a man who is apt to “Get over it.” Not when getting over it means accepting this cancer in my country’s blood. Besides, I always thought you were a smarter person than that. I always thought you were more moral than that—that you had too much integrity to do what you did. You knew everything I knew going into that election. If you didn’t, it’s because you neglected your civic duty to pay attention. I always thought you to be a better citizen than that. Maybe it’s conceivable that the gathering storm around his Russian entanglements slipped by you, somehow. Same with the mutual admiration between him and the stinking racist subculture now corroding the bottom out of our nation. Virtually every other person in my circle knew about those connections and was talking about them long before Election Night. But maybe— just maybe—it escaped your attention. Or maybe you sluffed it off as heated campaign rhetoric. Still, you can hardly have missed his obscene mockery of women, of the disabled, of migrants and McCain and minorities and even his fellow candidates. To have not noticed how unstable and disgusting his entire persona is—his entire life is—can only mean you were either willfully and perversely not noticing it, or that you are, in ways I’d never noticed, more unstable and disgusting than I could have ever believed about you. Either way, I can’t help but feel relieved you will no longer be part of my life. With that one vote you cast, as small a decision as it may seem to you, you became part and parcel to this new, hateful and disheartening reality. I can’t look at you anymore without seeing that truth about you. I can’t un-know that truth about you. The bucket is empty. Your bucket. It is weightless now. And, as it no longer has a bottom, it can never hold sand again. Not mine, at any rate.

‘WHY’
Idaho teen and community grapple with aftermath of assault CARISSA WOLF
It started with locker room taunting, bullying and racial slurs. Then it led to an offer for a hug. The hug turned into a restraining hold and the hold became an assault. The victim—a kid who just wanted everyone to like him—bled from his injuries and asked, “Why?” It’s a question that rocked the small town of Dietrich, Idaho, a historic railroad stop between long stretches of grazing cattle herds and sagebrush. Not much happens there other than harvesting beets, ordering the giant chicken fried steak at the Eagle’s Nest and running into neighbors at the local convenience store. And football. Dietrich is a place where high-school football rules, but if you blink while driving along desolate Highway 24, you might just miss it. Now the world’s eyes are on Dietrich. News of an assault on a black student with disabilities by members of the Dietrich High School football team in 2015 drew international attention following the arrest of two players on sexual assault charges. The crime made headlines in part because of its horrific nature—a coat hanger was inserted into the student’s rectum and kicked by one of his assailants, causing internal injuries—in part because of the light sentence handed down to one defendant in late February—three years of probation and community service—and in part because of the “boys will be boys” mentality of the community and actions—or lack of actions—of the school district, which a civil suit alleges turned away from helping a student with disabilities who endured months of racial bullying and torment at the hands of popular football players.
The crime and the sentence left civil rights advocates and many in Dietrich echoing the victim’s pained question: “Why?” “They still have Hitler in their heart,” the teen wrote in a poem he penned during a stay in a psychiatric institution months after the attack, which, aside from his injuries, prompted multiple suicide attempts. “But what society doesn’t know is that a kicked in hanger can bruise and penetrate the heart,” he wrote. “Why Lord, does this happen to us?” He keeps asking, “Why me? These are my friends,” said the victim’s attorney, E. Lee Schlender, who filed a civil suit against the Dietrich School District alleging school officials did nothing to stop the months of abuse that culminated in the assault. The poem says it all, he said. “He can’t process what he did wrong. He can’t process it. ‘There must be something wrong with me,’ he says. He doesn’t understand that he can’t process it. That causes him to no end of mental anguish,” said Schlender. The victim, the people who love him and disability advocates are met with complex answers when locals try to explain “why.” “Kids will be kids and I think that’s a case of what happened. Kids were being kids and the community suffered because of that,” said Tancy Sorensen, who moved to Dietrich after bouncing from town to town across the country—moving 21 times in nine years. She likes the affordable housing and quiet in the nearly all white, predominantly Latter-Day Saint community of 330 people. “You know when you’ve found a place that’s

The normally quiet Dietrich High School has been at the center of international news reports since the 2015 assault.

In Dietrich, population 330, the community’s social life revolves around the local convenience store, Eagle’s Nest restaurant and high-school football.
good,” Sorenson said between cleaning duties at Dietrich’s one and only mini-mart, which, along with the Eagle’s Nest and LDS church, makes up the commercial and social center of town. “It’s actually a really tight community. They’re good about helping people out. Guys will come and plow people’s driveways, just because,” Sorensen said. “I’ve always been in love with Dietrich. It’s the one place I’ve lived where I feel safe.” The tight, quiet, small-town feel that gives Sorenson comfort and safety proved almost deadly in the Dietrich High School locker room in 2015. Months of racial taunting and bullying culminated in October 2015, when a group of high-school football players gathered in the locker room and begin physically accosting the victim, who Boise Weekly and other media outlets have chosen not to name for his protection. Court documents contend one of the football players pretended to hug the victim but instead physically restrained him while teammate Tanner Ward, who was 17 at the time, forced a coat hanger into the victim’s rectum. John R.K. Howard, 18, kicked the hanger, driving it farther into the victim’s body. Howard faced adult charges for forcible sexual penetration with a foreign object. If convicted, he could have been sentenced to life in prison. Prosecutors offered Howard a deal and reduced his charges to felony injury to a child. In late February, a judge sentenced Howard to three years probation and 300 hours of community service. Howard entered an Alford plea, which allowed him to maintain his innocence while acknowledging prosecutors would likely win a conviction had the case gone to trial. The case documents for the other defendants remain sealed because they were juveniles at the time of the incident. “It’s given us a bad reputation. In a way, I think it hurt,” said Janet Towne, a server at the Eagle’s Nest. “It didn’t help. That’s what everyone thinks about when they talk about Dietrich.”
CODE OF SILENCE
Much like a locker room code of silence nearly kept the assault hidden, silence fell on the rural community following news of the crime, Schlender says. Towne said neighbors stopped talking to each other as news of the attack spread, area schools didn’t want to hold events or games in the community, and the town became divided between those who supported the perpetrators and those who supported the victim. “Some of us think one way, and others think another way,” Towne said. “We’ve agreed to disagree. I know the people I could talk to about it and the people I can’t talk to about it. The two kids that were involved in that were not even from here. They’re long gone but we’re still paying the price.” Outrage over the case stretched as far as New Zealand, where Gary Elshaw grew so infuriated about the reduced charges, he created petitions on Moveon.org and Change.org demanding, among other things, a review of the case by Idaho Attorney General Lawrence Wasden—and an apology from the AG to the victim’s family. “I don’t know the people or culture of Idaho and I would never judge them. But this case reveals that the institutions of Idaho, the school and the justice system, have failed [the victim] and have irreparably changed his life. For the benefit of all its citizens, the people of Idaho should be asking significant questions of its school and judicial system to ensure this doesn’t happen again,” Elshaw wrote in an email. Those sentiments were felt across the U.S. as well, with many calling for an independent investigation and a civil suit to get justice for a victim many say was failed repeatedly by institutions and people who were meant to protect him. “It has to be in the annals of law. One of the more compelling issues we face is the protection of the disabled and those who can’t protect themselves. We can bring them justice,” Schlender said, explaining the reason behind the civil suit, B O ISE WE E KLY.C O M
which alleges the school district and its employees repeatedly failed to protect the victim.The district and Howard’s attorney did not respond to Boise Weekly’s requests for comment. In February, the NAACP Tri-State Conference of Idaho-Nevada-Utah asked the U.S. Department of Justice to file a violation of civil rights on behalf of the victim in the Dietrich case. The NAACP alleges the school failed the victim and he was victimized twice. The group also called on the District of Idaho U.S. Department of Justice to assess whether the investigation was consistent with the policies and procedures of the attorney general. A recent Associated Press review of more than 2,000 legal records found that Dietrich school officials failed to report the incident and conducted their own investigation, which included seizing the coat hanger and interviewing witnesses. The AP found that school officials told the victim his testimony would tarnish the community of Dietrich and send his friends to jail. The case could have a ripple effect in schools where bullying has become an epidemic. While Schlender said a civil case could bring justice where the victim found none, others question why the students didn’t face sex crime charges—and why they were never prosecuted for a hate crime in the commission of what some simply call rape. “It’s not the fault of the law. It’s the fault of
the application of the law,” said Stephen Meyers, assistant professor of the Law, Societies and Justice Program at the University of Washington. Schlender noted here are about 100 cases like the one in Dietrich pending in courts across the U.S. “Schools are a cornerstone of democracy and they should be safe. It cannot be safe if there’s fear in the hallway. It destroys the safety of the kids; it just destroys their wanting to go to school,” he said. Idaho Attorney General Senior Investigator Tony Pittz said the school’s investigation did not impede prosecutors and that seizing the coat hanger and keeping it in a secure location helped investigators who couldn’t arrive on the scene for a couple days. “It’s not uncommon for a school to investigate something that happened on their property. It was probably a good thing,” Pitzz said. The civil suit alleges the locker room assault followed months of racial bullying and torment. Between taunts laced with the n-word, team players called the victim “chicken eater” and taught him a KKK song they then forced him to sing. Despite the racial slurs and bullying, and the eventual assault with the coat hanger, the perpetrators never answered to hate crime, sexual assault or rape charges. Prosecutors couldn’t prove the assault happened because of the victim’s race, Wasden said,
though prosecutors did consider hate crime charges. Much like sexual assault charges must prove intent, malicious harassment charges depend upon evidence that proves beyond a reasonable doubt racial hatred underpins the intent of a crime. “Malicious harassment is a specific intent crime, meaning that we have to produce evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that the specific intent, the specific reason for the person perpetrating the crime—in this case Mr. Howard—that his specific intent was to intimidate and harass because of that person’s color, religion, ancestry or national origin. What was lacking in this case was evidence,” Wasden said. “There were some names—‘Grape Soda,’ ‘Watermelon,’ so on and so forth—but they were not used near the time or location where this event occurred,” Wasden added. Deputy Attorney General Casey Hemmer told the Twin Falls Time-News that had the case gone to trial, prosecutors would have proved Howard kicked the coat hanger into the victim’s rectum but said while the assault was egregious behavior and caused the victim a lot of harm, it did not constitute a sex crime. “You have to have evidence that establishes beyond a reasonable doubt that the purpose of this penetration was for sexual arousal, gratification or abuse. What we didn’t have in this case was that evidence that establishes beyond a reasonable doubt this being sexual in nature,” Wasden said.
What’s more, in Idaho, rape is only rape if it happens with a penis.
YOUTH IN CRISIS
Court documents paint a picture of Howard as a youth in crisis who lost power and control over his life. Months before the locker room assault, Howard was being shuffled between relatives. Described in the documents as a “large and aggressive” male, Howard was sent to live with relatives in Idaho because he kept getting in trouble in Texas. The civil complaint alleges the school district should have been aware of Howard’s aggression and violent tendencies. “Mr. Howard is a relative of prominent individuals in the community and, at least in part [due] to his athletic ability and community connections, the Defendants ignored or were deliberately indifferent to the behavior of Mr. Howard which included aggression, taunting and bullying of the Plaintiff and other students in the district. With deliberate indifference, the Defendants did nothing to curb the vicious acts of Mr. Howard who brought with him from Texas a culture of racial hatred towards the Plaintiff,” the civil complaint contends. Without paying attention to the way disability and race intersect in this case is a failure to understand it at all, said Michael Gill, who teaches disability studies at Syracuse University.

“If we continue to isolate students, if we continue to pass off certain behaviors as ‘boys will be boys’ or ‘that’s just part of growing up,’ it fails to connect to a larger experience,” he said. Gill said the case is entangled with social constructions of masculinity, institutional ableism and the meaning of social space. “That the bullying happened in the locker room setting is significant,” he said. “The setting is significant in the sense that if we think about the locker room as a place in which the ideas of masculinity are policed—the fact that the student was sexually assaulted in The victim in the assault penned this poem while staying in a psychiatric the locker room space hospital months after he was attacked. by members of the football team—we all violent victimizations that year. need to think about ways “Persons with disabilities are sometimes seen in which masculinity operates there.

Alaska-bred/Oregon-based Portugal the Man is polarizing, though not in hate-it-or-love-it way: It’s usually a division of the I-lovePTM and the I-love-PTM-more contingents. A rich discography and killer live shows have built a huge fan base, the loyalty of which is earned—and retained—by the band’s creativity as well as its engagement: When singer-guitarist John Gourley weighed in on a PTM subreddit, his input was treated with delight and gratitude. PTM’s 2013 acclaimed release Evil Friends (Atlantic Records) saw the band working with famed producer Danger Mouse and exhibiting a poppier vibe, which has evolved even further as evidenced by two brilliant new tracks “Feel It Still” and “Noise Pollution”—the latter of which will probably see more club remixes than there are sad Democrats waiting for the 2020 election. Speaking of waiting, local fans don’t have to much longer: PTM kicks off an extensive U.S. tour on Thursday, March 9 at the Knitting Factory, with not-to-bemissed opener HDBeenDope. It’s good news for those who love PTM and those who love PTM more. —Amy Atkins

THE TALBOTT BROTHERS, MARCH 10, OLYMPIC
The nickname for Omaha, Neb., is “Gateway to the West.” Nebraskan brothers Nick and Tyler Talbott took that moniker literally, leaving Omaha in a four-door Chevy Impala five years ago and hitting the road westward, eventually ending up in their new hometown of Portland, Ore. Today, The Talbott Brothers is a much respected part of the indie folk scene in the City of Roses, known for its “sibling-blood-harmonies” and sunny disposition. With the release of their third studio album, Gray (self released, February 2017), the Talbotts explore notions of the road life, settling down and establishing a new home far from the Nebraska prairie. Shot through all the brothers’ songs is a sense of fun loving creation, giving the listener a sense that the Talbotts really are just a couple of kids getting a huge kick out of making sounds together. They’ll be spreading some brotherly love in the City of Trees with a show at The Olympic, joined by singer-songwriter Chris Molitor, who has taken his own journey, relocating from the City of Angels to the Lilac City of Spokane, Wash. —Zach Hagadone With special guest Chris Molitor; 7 p.m.; $12 adv., $15 door.

BEERGUZZLER STEP UP TO STOUT
While my heart longs for lager-worthy warmer weather, winter has been reluctant to loosen its icy grip. With that in mind, pulling the tab on a few cans of stout seems more appropriate. All three of this week’s entries weigh in at 8 percent alcohol or more, providing hefty protection against another freeze. EPIC SON OF A BAPTIST COFFEE STOUT, $2-$3 The creamy tan head covering this “two shades darker than ebony” brew from Denver fades quickly. The aromas are like an iced nitro latte blended with sweet mocha. A bit of char comes through on the palate that’s filled with strong, lightly bitter coffee flavors and dark chocolate covered caramel. Fruity notes of raisin and cherry come through on the finish. FORT GEORGE CAVATICA STOUT, $2-$3.80, 16 OZ. A dense, ebony pour topped with a three finger, mocha head that shows good persistence, this American double stout hails from Astoria, Oregon. There’s a smooth blend of hops backing the sweet malt aromas, along with chocolate, wheat bread and a touch of tobacco. Toasty malt follows on the palate, with creamy espresso, bittersweet chocolate and resiny hops. Excellent take on the style. FREMONT DARK STAR OATMEAL STOUT, $2.50$3 This Seattle-based brewery weighs in with a stout that is as dark as night, sporting a thick, porous head that collapses quickly leaving a honeycomb lacing. An earthy bitterness colors the chocolate cake and toffee aromas backed by a hint of ginger. You get some expected booziness with the flavors that include milky malt, cocoa, anise and toasted oats. The silky finish lingers on and on. —David Kirkpatrick B OI S E WEEKLY.C O M

Nearly six months after its world premiere at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival, three months since its distribution to major U.S. cities and two weeks after the 2017 Academy Awards—where it was nominated for Best Documentary—I Am Not Your Negro will at last make its appearance in Idaho when it opens on Friday, March 10, at The Flicks. Here is an astonishing, challenging, razorsharp documentary about iconic playwright, novelist and essayist James Baldwin.

RON CAMPBELL
ADOPT-A-PET ROB S HANAHAN
An animated life, from The Beatles to Sesame Street GEORGE PRENTICE It’s nearly impossible to talk with Ron Campbell without smiling. For more than a 50 years, the animator was one of the planet’s most prolific artists, working on everything from Yellow Submarine to The Flintstones and Sesame Street. “The fun in my old age is meeting the grownups I helped entertain when they were children,” said the 77-year-old Campbell. “What a surprising pleasure.” The native Australian began his animation career in the early 1960s and continued into the 21st century. Prior to his visit at LaBry Fine Art Gallery in Boise March 24-26, we talked to Campbell about a life spent bringing animated joy to millions.
When you watch the film today, you get swept back into the 1960s in a way that very few films from that era can accomplish. And that music. It will live forever.
I’m certain I’m not the first to tell you your resume traces all of my childhood and a good chunk of my adulthood. It has been quite a life, hasn’t it?
You would ultimately work with the Disney Studio on Winnie the Pooh, Goof Troop, Darkwing Duck and DuckTales. I would always work out of my own studio and studios such as Disney or Hanna-Barbera would turn to me to storyboard, edit, you name it.
One of my early favorites of yours was Cool McCool, that jazzy super spy, in the ’60s. Wow, you are rather old. Yes, that was connected to the James Bond craze and the old Get Smart situation comedy. What a fun show. Some of the characters on Cool McCool were developed by Bob Kane, the man who created Batman. Let’s talk about The Beatles cartoon series. I remember watching the first-run on ABC when it was wildly successful. We got a 67 share. Think of that: 67 percent of all TV sets tuned to that show. It was stunning to learn you got the full participation from The Beatles for the show. And they gave us the rights to pick the music for each show. They were fine fellows. We would build the episodes around the songs—For instance, for “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” we had the Fab Four go down into the ocean where they encountered a love-sick octopus. Which leads us to the feature film Yellow Submarine. It would take us about eight months of animation to complete 12 minutes [of film]. It was a breakthrough film, in that it was one of the few animated features that didn’t come from Walt Disney. B OI S E WEEKLY.C O M
Let’s talk about your time working with the Hanna-Barbera studio. They practically owned Saturday morning television in the 1960s and ’70s. Your work includes The Flintstones, The Jetsons, The Smurfs, Scooby Doo, Captain Caveman. I loved Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera. They were the grand old men of animation. When I was a boy, I never dreamed that one day I would work with Hanna-Barbera or Walt Disney.
Isn’t it fair to say the 1960s and ’70s were the golden era for Saturday morning cartoons? When I was a boy, we would go to the movies on Saturday afternoons to see cartoons. Then television came along, giving children the experience of commandeering the television set while their parents slept. It was a magical time. Today? There’s nothing too magical about having cartoons available 24 hours a day. Kids get easily bored. Talk to me about your work on Sesame Street. They discovered children would watch commercials with as much interest as the programming. So, Sesame Street had us create cartoons, like commercials, sprinkled throughout the show, teaching the concepts of letters or numbers. What do you consider your best work? A show called Big Blue Marble. We won a Peabody and Emmy. It was terrific, but veryone has their own favorite. I try to visit a different city each month and bring a good amount of my work. I’m as thrilled to meet them as they are to meet me.

PAGE BREAK MINERVA’S BREAKDOWN Advice for those on the verge ‘RACHEL WHO?’
DEAR MINERVA,
With Rachel Dolezal back in the news for her appropriation of the black experience, I wanted to ask you, as an outspoken transgender individual, how you feel about the idea of someone being transracial—seeing as Rachel Dolezal has brought this “issue” to light, so to speak? Do you feel it makes a mockery of the transgender community? Will it be a setback for all the LGBT community and their allies have fought for? Sincerely, —Bewildered in Boise
DEAR BB,
The issues with Nkechi Amare Diallo (formerly Rachel Dolezal) are complicated. We are talking about a deeply troubled woman who has told us she was abused as a child by her homeschooling Christian missionary parents in a family that included four children adopted from Africa and Haiti, and raised in rural Montana. One word comes to mind: isolation. I don’t think she is necessarily making a mockery of the trans experience because I don’t think people are taking her seriously or linking the two. I don’t think it will set back the LGBTQIA movement, either. Yes, cultural appropriation, blackface and artistic plagiarism are wrong and extremely distasteful. It isn’t beyond me, however, to think that an abused and unstable person might make some questionable decisions. I don’t give her a pass for her actions but I do think there is so much that we don’t know about her mental health. She may need real help. It’s a troubling, complicated story in our modern world. Truth is stranger than fiction, no? SUBMIT questions to Minerva’s Breakdown at bit.ly/MinervasBreakdown or mail them to Boise Weekly, 523 Broad St., Boise, ID 83702. All submissions remain anonymous.

DATO DUO KIDS’ SYNTH
Neuroscientists at USC published the results of a five-year study in 2016 that showed kids who learned a musical instrument were better able to “detect changes in tonal environment and [had] an accelerated maturity of auditory processing as measured by cortical auditory evoked potentials to musical notes.” In other words, teach a child to play music and he or she will develop a good ear. If you’re a parent and trying to decide whether to start your young one on the $350, dato.mu piano or violin, maybe consider another option: the synthesizer. Envisioned by a pair of super endearing Dutch dads, the Dato Duo is a kid-sized synth built rugged enough to be played hard but sophisticated enough even 3-year-olds can jam out. The Dato Duo was the result of a successful Kickstarter campaign and units are expected to begin being shipped in April. In the meantime, preorder yours for about $350—substantially less money than a violin. —Zach Hagadone

HOBO JARGON
FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): As soon as you can, sneak away to a private place where you can be alone—preferably to a comfy sanctuary where you can indulge in eccentric behavior without being seen or heard or judged. When you get there, launch into an extended session of moaning and complaining. I mean do it out loud. Wail and whine and whisper about everything that’s making you sad and puzzled and crazy. For best results, leap into the air and wave your arms. Whirl around in erratic figureeights while drooling and messing up your hair. Breathe extra deeply. And all the while, let your pungent emotions and poignant fantasies flow freely through your wild heart. Keep on going until you find the relief that lies on the other side. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “I’ve always belonged to what isn’t where I am and to what I could never be,” wrote Portuguese writer Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935). That was his prerogative, of course. Or maybe it was a fervent desire of his, and it came true. I bring his perspective to your attention, Taurus, because I believe your mandate is just the opposite, at least for the next few weeks: You must belong to what is where you are. You must belong to what you will always be. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Nothing is ever as simple as it may
B OI S E WEEKLY.C O M
seem. The bad times always harbor opportunities. The good times inevitably have a caveat. According to my astrological analysis, you’ll prove the latter truth in the coming weeks. On one hand, you will be closer than you’ve been in many moons to your ultimate sources of meaning and motivation. On the other hand, you sure as hell had better take advantage of this good fortune. You can’t afford to be shy about claiming the rewards and accepting the responsibilities that come with the opportunities.
project. A window to longevity will open, giving you a chance to gather clues about actions you can take and meditations you can do to remain vital for ten decades. I hope you’re not too much of a serious, know-it-all adult to benefit from this opportunity. If you’d like to be deeply receptive to the secrets of a long life, you must be able to see with innocent, curious eyes. Playfulness is not just a winsome quality in this quest; it’s an essential asset.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Seek intimacy with experiences that are dewy and slippery and succulent. Make sure you get more than your fair share of swirling feelings and flowing sensations, cascading streams and misty rain, arousing drinks and sumptuous sauces, warm baths and purifying saunas, skin moisturizers and lustrous massages, the milk of human kindness and the buttery release of deep sex—and maybe even a sensational do-it-yourself baptism that frees you from at least some of your regrets. Don’t stay thirsty, my undulating friend. Quench your need to be very, very wet. Gush and spill. Be gushed and spilled on.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’re ripe. You’re delectable. Your intelligence is especially sexy. I think it’s time to unveil the premium version of your urge to merge. To prepare, let’s review a few flirtation strategies. The eyebrow flash is a good place to start. A subtle, flicking lick of your lips is a fine follow-up. Try tilting your neck to the side ever-so-coyly. If there are signs of reciprocation from the other party, smooth your hair or pat your clothes. Fondle nearby objects like a wine glass or your keys. And this is very important: Listen raptly to the person you’re wooing. P.S.: If you already have a steady partner, use these techniques as part of a crafty plan to draw him or her into deeper levels of affection.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Would you like to live to the age of 99? If so, experiences and realizations that arrive in the coming weeks could be important in that
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Let’s talk about a compassionate version of robbery. The thieves who practice this art don’t steal valuable things you love. Rather,
they pilfer stuff you don’t actually need but are reluctant to let go of. For example, the spirit of a beloved ancestor may sweep into your nightmare and carry off a delicious poison that has been damaging you in ways you’ve become comfortable with. A bandit angel might sneak into your imagination and burglarize the debilitating beliefs and psychological crutches you cling to as if they were bars of gold. Are you interested in benefiting from this service? Ask and you shall receive. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Evolved Scorpios don’t fantasize about bad things happening to their competitors and adversaries. They don’t seethe with smoldering desires to torment anyone who fails to give them what they want. They may, however, experience urges to achieve TOTAL CUNNING DAZZLING MERCILESS VICTORY over those who won’t acknowledge them as golden gods or golden goddesses. But even then, they don’t indulge in the deeply counterproductive emotion of hatred. Instead, they sublimate their ferocity into a drive to keep honing their talents. After all, that game plan is the best way to accomplish something even better than mere revenge: success in fulfilling their dreams. Please keep these thoughts close to your heart in the coming weeks. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
“The noble art of music is the greatest treasure in the world,” wrote Martin Luther (1483-1546), a revolutionary who helped break the stranglehold of the Catholic Church on the European imagination. I bring this up, Sagittarius, because you’re entering a phase when you need the kind of uprising that’s best incited by music. So I invite you to gather the tunes that have inspired you over the years, and also go hunting for a fresh batch. Then listen intently, curiously and creatively as you feed your intention to initiate constructive mutation. It’s time to overthrow anything about your status quo that is jaded, lazy, sterile or apathetic. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Either you learn to live with paradox and ambiguity or you’ll be six years old for the rest of your life,” says author Anne Lamott. How are you doing with that lesson, Capricorn? Still learning? If you would like to get even more advanced teachings about paradox and ambiguity—as well as conundrums, incongruity and anomalies—there will be plenty of chances in the coming weeks. Be glad! Remember the words of Nobel Prize-winning physicist Niels Bohr: “How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress.” AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Lichen is a hardy form of life that
by some estimates covers six percent of the earth’s surface. It thrives in arctic tundra and rainforests, on tree bark and rock surfaces, on walls and toxic slag heaps, from sea level to alpine environments. The secret of its success is symbiosis. Fungi and algae band together (or sometimes fungi and bacteria) to create a blended entity; two very dissimilar organisms forge an intricate relationship that comprises a third organism. I propose that you regard lichen as your spirit ally in the coming weeks, Aquarius. You’re primed for some sterling symbioses. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you normally wear adornments and accessories and fine disguises, I invite you not to do so for the next two weeks. Instead, try out an unembellished, what-yousee-is-what-you-get approach to your appearance. If, on the other hand, you don’t normally wear adornments and accessories and fine disguises, I encourage you to embrace such possibilities in a spirit of fun and enthusiasm. Now you may inquire: How can these contradictory suggestions both apply to the Pisces tribe? The answer: There’s a more sweeping mandate behind it all, namely: to tinker and experiment with the ways you present yourself... to play around with strategies for translating your inner depths into outer expression.
