EDITOR’S NOTE IT’S TREEFORT TIME We hope you’re rested, adequately hydrated, well fed and ready to test your fortitude—it’s time once again for the Treefort Music Fest, which will take over downtown Boise from Wednesday, March 22-Sunday, March 26.

For a lot of Treasure Valley-ites, TMF is one of those things around which the calendar revolves. We know people who spend half the year anticipating the musical bacchanal. Of course, Treefort has grown far beyond its original configuration as a music festival. Five years since its inauguration, the Treefort of today is a many-headed beast with cultural programming extending from food and tech to film and even yoga.

We devoted a chunk of this edition of Boise Weekly to Treefort coverage, including a roundup of the various sub-forts on Page 16 and a selection of picks for local and out-of-town bands not to miss on Page 17.

BW is a 24/7 news organization, however, so you can bet we’ll have operatives spread out across town for the duration, posting regular updates on shows and fort events to boiseweekly.com.

As much as we love Treefort, the rest of the world doesn’t stop to take in the tunes. On Page 6, BW Staff Writer Harrison Berry unpacks a recent science-powered presentation on climate change and News Editor George Prentice provides an update on a controversial so-called “faith healing” bill that’s making its way through the Legislature.

One of our intrepid interns, Brooklyn Riempa, on Page 8 looked ahead to August when millions of Americans will collectively look to the sky to witness a rare total solar eclipse. Lucky for us in southern Idaho, a wide swath of the state lies in the path of totality. In other words, we’re going to have some of the best views of the celestial event anywhere in the world.

MAIL CLEANING UP This past fall, the largest utility-scale solar projects in the entire Pacific Northwest came online near Boise. Since then, several other solar power plants have brought jobs and tax revenue to Idaho while generating enough electricity to power more than 50,000 homes annually. Recently Idaho Power announced plans to close its Valmy coal plant at least seven years early.

The coal-to-clean energy transition presents an enormous economic opportunity for Idaho, a state that today relies on importing more than 1/3 of its electricity from out-of-state coal plants. Municipal leadership in places like Boise and other Idaho communities will be key to advancing our clean energy economy and creating prosperity across our state.

In February, Pueblo, Colo., joined 22 other cities that have committed to transition to 100 percent renewable energy— proving that no matter who is in the White House, municipalities will continue to lead the way on clean energy.

In 2015, the city of Ketchum adopted energy conservation goals that include targets for 100 percent renewable energy for city operations and 50 percent renewable generation community-wide by 2030. Boise Mayor Bieter signed the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement, and the city continues to advance innovative and aggressive conservation initiative. Also this past fall, Boise commissioned a comprehensive study to establish a renewable energy strategy and to identify citywide renewable energy goals.

The Idaho Chapter Sierra Club appreciates Idaho’s cities for their leadership. We hope to see our capitol be the first

in Idaho to commit to 100 percent clean, renewable energy.

POLS: GROW A SPINE America cries out for leadership, yet the cries of Lady Liberty fall on the deaf ears of Idaho Sens. Risch and Crapo and Reps. Simpson and Labrador. These four naively think the political debate of 2017 is about Democrats vs. Republicans. Instead, it is about the United States vs. Russia, and sadly, they come down on the side of the KGB, Vladimir Putin and the current occupant of the White House.

Instead of standing up to the dangerous thug in the Oval Office, Risch, Crapo, Simpson and Labrador sit by as weak ducklings. Nary a peep from them as they let hard-working Congressmen like Adam Schiff do their work for them.

Risch is on the Senate Intelligence Committee, which could be a powerful position these days, rather, he yields to Schiff on the House side to demand a deposition from Christopher Steele, the British spy who has uncovered much of the truth about America’s Russian sympathizer. By remaining unconcerned that the ideology of Russia has taken over America, Messrs. Risch, Crapo, Simpson and Labrador are complicit in its takeover.

Sen. John McCain gets it—in a recent speech after The Childish One went on in one of his 6 a.m. tweets about the media, McCain stated, “That is how dictators get started.”

It’s sad the greater part of the Party of Lincoln now embraces the likes of Stalin, Lenin and Putin. The GOP no longer stands for the Grand Old Party; rather, it has become the Government Of Putin.

FOR THE KIDS The Idaho Legislature is currently considering bills that would determine protections for children in anti-medicalcare religious groups. Tragically, more children die of “faith healing” medical neglect in Idaho than in any other state.

This has to stop, because the Idaho Constitution prohibits this form of medical neglect.

The Constitution clearly guarantees religious liberty, yet it also places restrictions on such freedoms. For example, people may not engage in religious practices if they are “inconsistent with morality or the peace or safety of the state.” In stating this restriction, Idaho’s Constitution aims to protect Idahoans according to values that may or may not coincide with religious doctrines.

Parents may not deny a child an education, even if they believe their religion requires them to do so. Members of the Followers of Christ church believe their religion requires them to only pray for their sick children. Despite the fervency of their beliefs, this form of medical neglect is immoral, and, therefore, prohibited by the Constitution. Yet lawmakers refuse to change the laws so those parents who deny their children life-saving medical care can be prosecuted.

Unlike the Followers of Christ, lawmakers are legally mandated to uphold standards of morality in passing legislation. To abide by the Constitution, government must restrict the religious liberty of every citizen equally, so that no child or adult is victimized by immoral acts—including acts committed in the name of religion.

It’s time to correct the laws so morally based restrictions of religious liberty apply to all Idahoans equally.

UNDA’ THE ROTUNDA

CLIMATE STRANGE

Senate Bill 1182 passed through the Senate State Affairs Committee on a 5-4 vote.

IDAHO SENATE TANGLES WITH ‘FAITH HEALING’ BILL The March 20 session of the Idaho Senate State Affairs Committee will be primarily known for two things: the 5-4 vote to approve Senate Bill 1182 and the fact that most citizens who had signed up to testify on the proposal were denied the opportunity to speak.

Senate Majority Leader Bart Davis (R-Idaho Falls) called SB 1182 “a bill to offend everybody.” Still, he voted for the measure, which would edit existing Idaho laws that allow families to use faith as a reason not to seek medical help for their children.

Despite sidestepping public comment, the committee members made sure they had plenty of time to voice their own religious beliefs.

“I believe in the power of prayer,” said Davis. “I believe the Lord God Almighty can be involved. I believe he has, and will heal people.”

“I believe that God blesses us all,” said Sen. Todd Lakey (R-Nampa).

“Christ healed a blind man with spittle and dirt. Was that what healed him? It was because of faith,” said Sen. Chuck Winder (R-Boise).

“Most of us believe God can intervene,” said Sen. Brent Hill (R-Rexburg). “We pray.”

“I believe in divinity,” said Committee Chairman Sen. Jeff Siddoway (R-Terreton). “I think that our Lord Jesus Christ can intervene.”

Everyone, to the person, that did get the opportunity to address the committee—10 of the 30 who had signed up to speak—urged lawmakers to reject SB 1182 either because it went too far in restricting religious beliefs or didn’t go far enough to protect children from guardians who think prayer supersedes medical care.

“If you allow this bill to pass, it will be responsible for the deaths of generations of children,” resident Linda Martin testified. “This bill is dangerous.”

Meanwhile, members of the Followers of Christ Church, who said they were being targeted because they don’t believe in traditional medicine, argued the bill was discriminatory.

“Our children are not neglected,” said church member Nathan Kangas. “It seems odd that you have put man before God.” Even though the committee voted to move the measure forward, ultimately the full Idaho Senate struggled with SB 1182, defeating it on an 11-24 vote. But the debate is expected to resurface in 2018.

A panel at the Idaho Statehouse highlights political divisions over climate change HARRISON BERRY When the Idaho Legislature declined to hear a bill from Rep. Ilana Rubel (D-Boise) calling for a comprehensive study of the effects of climate change on the Gem State, Rubel convened a public forum and a panel of experts March 15 to showcase what information they had.

The event drew hundreds to the capitol, filling the Lincoln Auditorium and three overflow rooms, confirming public interest in the issue and its impacts on Idaho, but drawing few Republicans, who control both houses of the Legislature and the executive branch of state government.

It was a crash course on the reality of climate change, but also a spotlight on political divisions that have hampered efforts to mitigate its effects or prepare Idaho for changes yet to come.

Earlier in the legislative session, however, the House Education Committee stripped references to climate change and other human environmental impacts from state education standards. The House Environment, Energy and Technology Committee also rejected Rubel’s request for a hearing on the issue in January. Committee chairman Rep. Dell Raybould (R-Rexburg) attended the meeting, but said he believes climate change is a natural phenomenon likely to have a positive impact on Idaho agriculture.

“Listen to Rush Limbaugh once in awhile,” he told Idaho Falls Post Register in 2015. “See what he thinks about it. He’ll tell you that this is just a bunch of nonsense.”

Raybould said he believes increased atmospheric carbon could be good for plants, and he’s not the only one in the Idaho Legislature on the spectrum of climate change denial. Senate Pro Tem Brent Hill (R-Rexburg) he believes climate change is taking place, but humans’ role is unclear. Rep. Tom Loertscher (R-Iona) thinks what scientists are observing is mere weather.

A handful of students who attended the meeting begged to differ. One of them was Capital High School junior Jai Bansal, who said he doesn’t blame legislators for not believing in climate change, but warned rising sea levels, extreme weather and the increased incidence of forest fires are likely to affect people regardless of what they believe.

Bansal, who participates in the Leadership

Capital High School student Jai Bansal (left) and University of Idaho Assistant Professor of Geography John Abatzoglou (right).

Boise Academy and is set to begin an internship at Hewlett-Packard, said there will be a literal sea change for humanity going forward.

“Climate change will affect my generation more than the internet affected my parents’ generation,” he said.

Scientists painted a grimmer portrait of the situation.

“The broader issue of climate change is already impacting our state,” said University of Idaho Assistant Professor of Geography John Abatzoglou.

In late 2016, Abatzoglou was one of several researchers involved in a study,”Impact of anthropogenic climate change on wildfire across western US forests,” which concluded a staggering 84 percent of the nation’s wildfires between 1992 and 2012 were human-caused. In Idaho, however, just 31 percent of fires are ignited by similar factors, as “lightning ends up playing a much bigger role in terms of not only the number of fires [in Idaho], but, moreover, the amount of burn area associated with those numbers.”

Underpinning all those facts and figures, however, is water: How much of it flows through Idaho, when, and how long it stays in the form of snowpack and groundwater. According to Abatzoglou, Idaho’s shifting climate is already reducing mountain snowpacks, kickstarting early spring seasons and drying out summers, thus lengthening the fire season and increasing the likelihood that a lightning strike, unextinguished cigarette or campfire could grow into an inferno.

Presenters made the case that despite the hemming and hawing of some conservative lawmakers, climate change is real and happening right now. Scientists from Boise State University and the University of Idaho described the delicate carbon cycle, whereby greenhouse gasses are re-

leased into the atmosphere and reabsorbed, as well as the factors that disrupt that cycle like human carbon emissions. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, between 1901 and 2016, the average surface temperature in the lower 48 states has increased by .14 degrees Fahrenheit per decade on average, and each year for the past four years has broken the record for the warmest in recorded human history.

By 2040, said Jen Pierce, who teaches geomorphology at Boise State University, Boise could have a climate similar to Fresno, Calif.—a city far to the south and thousands of feet lower in altitude—which would entail less snowpack, a longer dry season and hotter summers.

Shorter winters are already affecting Idaho’s winter recreation industry—Bogus Basin General Manager Brad Wilson confirmed the resort has experienced “shorter and less reliable winters.” At peak season, Bogus Basin employs approximately 600 people and between Christmas and New Year’s Day, the resort makes almost a quarter of its yearly revenue. Bogus Basin has begun transitioning into a four-season resort, but inadequate snowpack in December would deal a devastating blow. Concerns over climate change, Wilson said, is widespread in the recreation industry.

“Nobody is more concerned about climate change than the ski industry,” he added.

Other business leaders said companies are taking the initiative regarding the issue. For Rubel, however, states need to pave the way for social and economic changes by encouraging green energy, educating students about climate change, enacting policies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promoting stainability.

“Lots of states are doing these things,” she said. “We are doing none of them.”

NEWS ONCE IN A LIFETIME

Boise Councilwoman Lauren McLean is in Grist’s spotlight for solution-driven problem solving.

GRIST RECOGNIZES BOISE COUNCILWOMAN LAUREN MCLEAN AS INNOVATOR It has been six years since Lauren McLean first stepped into the limelight.

“The hardest part? Having my name printed in the paper,” McLean told Boise Weekly in January 2011 before being sworn in as the newest member of the Boise City Council.

Plenty of advocacy and two elections later, in which voters handed her resounding majorities, McLean is president pro tempore of the council. On March 21, McLean woke up to learn she had been chosen by the Seattle-based nonprofit Grist.org as one of the nation’s “most inspiring innovators and doers working on fresh solution to the planet’s biggest problems.”

Anyone who has even a limited encounter with McLean knows her passion for sustainability may be endless, beginning with her 2001 leadership of the historic first Boise Foothills open space campaign. As an elected official, she’s quick to link that passion to the city’s economic viability.

“Sustainability and the economy are intertwined,” she said upon learning of the Grist honor. “Boise is poised to be a leader around sustainability and climate.”

McLean’s public service also includes her co-authorship of the city’s anti-discrimination ordinance, hammered out in 2012 after a series of emotionally charged public hearings.

“Courage is commitment to ideals that guide one’s action with focus, regardless of pressure,” she said.

McLean was also quick to connect the dots between “courage” and “sustainability.”

“Probably the best, latest example of courage was Secretary of Defense James Mattis’ testimony on climate change,” she said.

Bucking his boss—President Donald Trump— and much of the administration’s agenda, Mattis stunned a U.S. Senate panel when he asserted that climate change is real and a significant threat to American interests abroad.

“We’re faced with the changing nature of work and the economy, globalization, climate change,” said McLean.

That pressure is significantly more than having your name printed in a newspaper, however—something McLean has presumably come to accept.

Idaho stargazers prepare to witness the first total solar eclipse in 99 years BROOKLYN RIEPMA Two minutes. That’s how long this summer’s total eclipse—the first since 1918—is expected to last. The rarity of the Monday, Aug. 21, event is expected to attract thousands of visitors to Idaho, which is in the direct path of the eclipse.

There will be perfect views in the communities of Cascade, Challis, Idaho Falls and Ketchum. Despite its short duration, the “Great American Eclipse” is considered extraordinary by most stargazers. The eclipse, which will occur here at around 11:30 a.m., is projected to cast a shadow across the breadth of the U.S.—and no other country—and Idaho is one of the few states to be in its direct path. Views of the sun should be completely blocked by the moon, turning day into night.

“It’s an incredibly rare event,” said College of Idaho Physics Professor James Dull. “It’s an event that happens at any particular spot on Earth about once in 400 years, so it’s something that people want to take the opportunity to view.”

South and North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming and Oregon are also in line for ideal eclipse views, where the sun will be entirely blocked from view in certain areas of those states.

Not taking the chance to witness this year’s eclipse means waiting until at least 2024 for the next partial eclipse in the U.S.—and it will be visible nowhere near Idaho.

“Idaho is a great place [to see ] this year’s eclipse because we’re on the line of totality and the skies are great. There’s nothing that’s going to get in the way,” said Dull. “Idaho is still known for its clear skies, especially during the summertime.”

The path of the Aug. 21 eclipse in the US will travel from the West to the East Coast and will pass through the middle of Idaho in a 60mile radius from Weiser on the Idaho/Oregon border to Rexburg on Idaho’s eastern border.

Experts say Idaho’s relatively cloudless days should likely make the event easy to witness for locals and thousands of anticipated tourists.

“It’s going to give us a lot of opportunity for visitors. There’s going to be a lot of tourists here,” said Dull. “I imagine we will get probably a couple hundred thousand visitors.”

The Monday, Aug. 21 eclipse is expected to cut a swath across Idaho, beginning at approximately 11:30 a.m.

With so many people expected to converge on Idaho’s smaller communities, it may quickly become difficult to book a place to stay during the weekend prior to the event. Most campsites, hotels and motels across the line of totality in Idaho’s path are already fully booked. Like most other cities and towns, places like Idaho Falls, Driggs, Stanley, Sun Valley and Weiser are already near capacity.

In eastern Idaho, a number of eclipse watchers have already booked rooms in the historic Idaho City Hotel, built in 1929—11 years after the last total eclipse in the U.S. The hotel’s current owner, Cinda Heron, said as of press time, she only had a couple of rooms left for the the days immediately before and after the eclipse.

Although it may be a challenge to find an hotel, motel or cabin, the Idaho Department of Tourism stated day-trips are always an option, despite the potential for increased traffic congestion. A few cities are even hosting festivals and special events during the weekend before the eclipse. The Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve will be hosting a “Star Party” featuring plenty of food vendors in the town of Arco the day of the event. According to greatamericaneclipse.com, the northernmost tip of Craters of the Moon should be one of the most ideal spots to experience the “totality” of the eclipse. BYU Idaho in Rexburg is allowing guests to reserve viewing areas on campus. In nearby Rigby, the city will host a fair with crafts, food and live entertainment throughout the day of the eclipse. More communities are expected to put together their own attractions for Aug. 21 as they compete for tourist dollars.

Even those Idaho cities and towns not in the direct path of the eclipse are expected to experience some of the event.

“Even though Boise is not in the line of totality, we’re still going to get over 90 percent of the sun blocked off during about a two-minute period as the eclipse is occurring,” said Dull. “So yes, Boise is still a good place to see the eclipse.”

The eclipse will be visible in Idaho starting at the western edge of the state at approximately 11:25 a.m. Mountain Time and make its way to the eastern border of Idaho and Wyoming at 11:36 a.m. The duration of the eclipse for every position on the path will be one to two minutes.

Whether a partial or total eclipse, some experts caution would-be gazers to wear special “certified solar viewing” glasses, sold online from $12 to $42. According to NASA’s eclipse website, it’s important not to “observe the partial or annular phases of any eclipse with the naked eye.

Failure to use appropriate filtration may result in permanent eye damage or blindness.”

Absent a pair of “certified” glasses, NASA reports the safest and most inexpensive way to view an eclipse is by “projection in which a pinhole or small opening is used to cast the image of the sun on a screen (or on the ground) a half-meter or more beyond the opening. Binoculars can also be used to project a magnified image of the sun on a white card, but you must avoid the temptation of using these instruments for direct viewing.”

“Once [the sun] is in totality, you definitely want to look at it. If you’re in the totality zone, you can safely look at the sun,” said Dull. “But the problem is, you want to make sure it’s in totality before you look up.”

‘THERE’S CHINESE TUNNELS UNDER BOISE!’

BOISE FLOWER AND GARDEN SHOW

TREASURE VALLEY ROLLER DERBY

In 2012, Empty Boat Theatre staged its original play/musical, “There’s Chinese Tunnels Under Boise!” at the WaterCooler. Five years later, Empty Boat is bringing “Chinese Tunnels” back for a special five-day run at Boise Contemporary Theater. Staged in conjunction with the 2017 Treefort Music Fest, performances will take place twice daily at 1 p.m. and 9 p.m., giving audiences plenty of chances to have—as one 2012 review put it—an “archaeological experience of the soul.”

Written by Nick Garcia, “Chinese Tunnels” focuses on a hot summer in 1987—the year “Legend of Zelda” was released.

Dwayne Blackaller, John Adkins and Garcia, who starred in the original production, will be joined by Empty Boat co-founder Hollis Welsh for the revival, which also includes an updated script.

March 22-26; 1 p.m. and 9 p.m.; $20. Boise Contemporary Theater, 854 Fulton St., 208-331-9224, theemptyboat.org.

If the recent 70-plus degree weather hasn’t given you a dose of spring fever the Boise Flower and Garden Show usually does the trick. The 21st annual bonanza of blooms promises to fill the Boise Centre with some gorgeous gardens and generous displays of orchids, bonsais and professional floral arrangements. Experts will share their secrets on lawn care, container gardens and growing edible flowers during a dozen seminars.

This year’s event also features a Buy Idaho Pavilion where you’ll sample goodies from Gem State-based food and beverage companies. But our favorite parts of the BFG are the fabulous one-time only steals and deals on bulbs and seeds.

Friday, March 24, 10 a.m.-8 p.m.; Saturday, March 25, 10 a.m.-8 p.m.; Sunday, March 26, 11 a.m.-5 p.m.; FREE-$8. Boise Centre, 850 W. Front St., 208-336-8900, gardenshowboise.com.

Cities have hidden gems rarely noticed or observed by visitors.

In Boise, one of those gems is the Treasure Valley Roller Derby, one of Boise’s best-kept secrets. A huge deal in cities like Portland, Ore., and Denver, Colo., roller derby is a high-contact amateur sport in which players try to lap members of the opposing team on an elliptical track, and both teams can play offense and defense simultaneously.

TVRD is hosting Game Two at Expo Idaho, where Boise River Rollers will face off Saturday, March 25 against the Gallatin Roller Girlz, and the Owyhee Outlaws will ride against the Sawtooth Sirens for points and glory. This is the first match of the season featuring two new home teams. Adding to the spectacle will be Evolution Dance, which will perform at intermission.

6 p.m. $5 children, $10 adv., $15 door. Expo Idaho, 5610 N. Glenwood St., Garden City, tvderby.com.

CULTURE/REVIEW OLD DOGS, NEWDANCE: A MIXTURE OF OLD AND NEW AT BALLET IDAHO’S NEWDANCE, UP CLOSE Ballet Idaho Artistic Director Peter Anastos stood in front of the audience March 16 at the Esther Simplot Performing Arts Academy and said it was about to witness “some of the strongest work [Ballet Idaho choreographers] have ever done.”

Anastos was speaking about the NewDance, Up Close Spring Series, which showcased Ballet Idaho-produced smaller dances choreographed and performed by its core dancers. Despite the “new” portion of the the event name, this year’s Spring Series often returned to some of the company’s best past work.

For Nathan Powell, it was an evening for returning to the basics. His two dances performed at Spring Series, “(Please Control Your) Impulsivity!” and “What You Wanted For Me,” relied on music and props, respectively. “Impulsivity” was new to Spring Series and used the clever device of coding dancers’ movements to individual instruments—for example, the sound of a xylophone corresponding to iPod-inspired operationality and percussion to Latin dance-inspired motion. It was straightforward and entertaining.

“What You Wanted For Me” was a reprise. When it debuted in November 2014, it left the audience stunned: A light attached to a long cord dropped suddenly from the ceiling, with a lone dancer engaged in a heartbreaking duet with the swaying bulb.

Powell staged only a section of this gem, and a welcome sight it was, but no re-performance will match the spontaneity and vim of its first time on stage.

Lydia Sakolsky-Basquill, who teaches for Ballet Idaho and runs her own dance company, Project Flux, said her piece, “Six Degrees,” explored the interconnectivity of the dance world, but could just as easily have been an exploration of the trends and fashions that live and die within her own work. Daniel Ojeda’s “Let’s Make Moves” was a return to the starry-eyed celebrations of youth and hipness that made his last full ballet, “The Monster and the Gift,” feel a little light on insight.

Some of the smartest, most fun works of the evening were “Portrait” by Sayoko Knode and “Undone” by Phyllis Rothwell Affrunti. Knode’s use of a huge, puffy skirt as a gateway to another realm and syncing dancers’ movements to make them appear as a single form on stage was inspired. In “Undone,” Affrunti offered a glimpse into insomnia and its effects on intimacy.

In a slate of performances that generally leaned on the past, the works that delivered truly “new dance” were kings.

TREEFORT

Treefort Music Fest 2017 continues to branch out with broad appeal BW STAFF

With Kidfort, even Boise’s youngest citizens get to be a big part of the TFM community.

BUILDING COMMUNITY

16 | MARCH 22–28, 2017 | BOISEweekly

Get lit with local and nationally known luminaries at Storyfort.

HACKFORT

STORYFORT

This is one of Treefort Music Fest’s premier sub-forts, and for good reason. Boise has a long tech tradition dating back to the early days when companies like Micron and HewlettPackard moved to town. More recently, Boise State University’s computer science program split sheets with the College of Engineering, shacking up in City Center Plaza inches from Clearwater Analytics. Hackfort has been a fellow traveler to Boise’s expanding tech sector, and this year’s events may compose the most ambitious slate since the sub-fort’s founding, including a live FiveThirtyEight podcasting event featuring political and sports prognosticator Nate Silver; a presentation by Alex Hackford, whose creative music work for Sony Playstation has appeared on Gran Turismo, God of War and The Last of Us; Sabrina Jacques of Ubisoft and many, many more at Jack’s Urban Meeting Place—just blocks east of the main Treefort Music Fest action.

This fort, now in its fourth year, is so packed with programming, it would take a book to list every event. Organizer and renowned local author Christian Winn said collaborating with other forts is a big part of this year’s Storyfort.

“We have a lot of crossover,” he said, with Yogafort and Hackfort, for example: There will be a discussion on the mythology of yoga and one about writing for video games. “We also have workshops, young adult readings, refugee stories, stories from bouncers, and we’re bringing in some incredible talent,” he added, with big names like slam poet G. Yamazawa.

Storyfort will also explore the zeitgeist with a panel—joined by BW Staff Writer Harrison Berry—on “fake news” and the media landscape.

FILMFORT The first (and most important) thing to know about Filmfort is that all of its events—panel discussions, 10 feature films and a barrelful of shorts—will be showcased at The Owyhee.

You could slip into a coma from an overdose of movies, but we suggest a few must-see highlights: Stronger Shines the Light Inside/Rita. Photographer Angie Smith, who chronicled Boise’s refugee community in an acclaimed 2016 public art display will help present filmmaker Ron Torres’ documentary Rita, starring a Congolese refugee now

resettled in Idaho.

“Finding Your Cinematic Voice” is a discussion with a panel of filmmakers with Gem State ties, including two-time Oscar winner Terry Sanders, who share their inspirations.

6 Dynamic Laws for Success in Life, Love & Money. Though still a work in progress, this is the much-anticipated film noir/ dark comedy from director Gregory Bayne. We’ve seen a preview, and it’s pretty great.

Filmfort passholders get priority access to all films. Single screening tickets will be available at the door.

COMEDYFORT will make you laugh until you cry with funny folks Caitlin Gill, Dulce Sloan and Will Weldon joining local laughmakers Emma Arnold, Lady Bizness, Kaz Gable and many more, while FOODFORT will feature a full schedule of sumptuous samples as well as discussions on everything from Boise’s cider industry and putting Boise on the culinary map and the ladies of local craft beer. YOGAFORT has events for mind, body and spirit, including a dance battle and yoga-themed paintings by local artist Meg Kahnle,

In its first year, Treefort Music Fest kicked off with about 130 local and touring musical acts playing at venues across downtown Boise for four days. Had it simply maintained, it probably would have became a niche event or died altogether.

Now in its sixth year, the festival runs five days, the number of bands and musicians performing has nearly doubled and the cultural offerings have increased almost exponentially, which has broadened its appeal. At Boise Weekly, describing an event as having “something for everyone” is verboten—it’s trite (and lame) and unachievable. However, Treefort might damn well be the exception.

“We think about the user experience,” said TFM Executive Producer John Michael Schert, adding that by expanding its scope—adding new “forts”—Treefort has become a “five-day adventure,” created by combining local talent with big names in music and other creative fields.

“We want to elevate the local scene but stay true to it … [so] we pair what’s happening locally with what’s happening nationally,” Schert said, like bringing in award-winning chef Hugh Acheson, who will prepare a special (sold-out) dinner as part of the popular Foodfort (the only fort developed from within the organization), which debuted last year.

“Foodfort brought new people out—people who thought ‘There’s nothing for me at Treefort,’” Schert said. “But there was,” he added, smiling.

With a continuing influx of ideas and audiences, TFM has evolved into a “celebration of Boise,” which now includes Alefort, Comedyfort, Filmfort, Foodfort, Hackfort, Skatefort, Storyfort, Yogafort and Performance Art and more, with events happening across downtown from Reef to JUMP and myriad places in between.

Below, we’ve highlighted a mere fraction of what TFM 2017 has to offer—find more on the music on Page 17—but we would like you to know, in spite of how we feel about the phrase, the festival just might actually have something for everyone. Visit treefortmusicfest.com or download the app, and you’ll see what we mean.

When you get a shout out from the president of the United States—as Hackfort did during Barack Obama’s visit in 2015—you’re doing something right.

while KIDFORT provides entertainment and education for Boise’s youngest citizens.

ALEFORT will highlight the best Boise brewers have to offer and STRENGTHFORT, the newest kid on the block, will have hands-on, old-timey strength challenges.

BRANCHING OUT Boise Weekly’s picks for Treefort 2017

Scott Biram: I’m just a dude with too many speakers.”

BEN SCHULTZ

SCOTT BIRAM ON HIS ONEMAN-BAND AND HANGING WITH SHOOTER JENNINGS

Each year, the Treefort Music Fest lineup seems to become more diverse and impressive. With high-profile headliners like acclaimed shoegazeblack metal group Deafheaven, eerie folk-country songstress Angel Olsen and slacker rock charmer Mac DeMarco, Treefort 2017 is no exception.

Just as we’ve done the past few years, Boise Weekly dug through the lineup for great artists that people may not know yet. Here are some of this year’s lesser known must-sees.

TOURING ARTISTS LORNA DUNE (BOISE ALL-AGES MOVEMENT PROJECT, MARCH 24, MIDNIGHT/JUMP, MARCH 26, 10:30 A.M.) Lorna Krier (aka Lorna Dune) brings some serious musical chops to her spare, dreamy techno.

A classically trained pianist, she has performed with revered minimalist composers Steve Reich and Philip Glass. You don’t need an MFA to dig her music, though—her steady beats and waves of soothing synthesizer should be just the thing for Treefort-goers who need some chill time.

JONATHAN RICHMAN (MAIN STAGE, MARCH 25, 3:10 P.M.) One could argue that most of the rock bands playing Treefort owe something to Jonathan Richman. Please Kill Me author Legs McNeil once called his 1970s group The Modern Lovers “perhaps the greatest alt-rock, pre-punk, indie band that no one has ever seen.” Richman’s songs have been covered by the likes of Joan Jett, The Sex Pistols and David Bowie. If you see him play the main stage on Saturday, expect to find a lot of musicians in the audience (including Mac DeMarco, who cited Richman as his role model in a 2012 Pitchfork article).

LIZZO (MAIN STAGE, MARCH 25, 7 P.M.) Sassy, outspokenly feminist hip-hop artist Lizzo delivered a raucous opening set for SleaterKinney at the Knitting Factory in 2015. Last year, she gave a defiantly upbeat post-Election Day performance on Full Frontal with Samantha Bee. Don’t be too surprised if her set turns out to be one of Treefort 2017’s highlights.

THERE IS NO MOUNTAIN (THE DISTRICT, MARCH 25, 9 P.M.) This beguiling Portland, Ore., duo combines BOISE WEEKLY.COM

U.K. artist Kate Tempest (left) is an award winning poet who has opened for Billy Bragg; There is no Mountain (top right) brings its beguiling harmonies from Portland, Ore.; and don’t be surprised if Lizzo (bottom right) ends up being one of the highlights of this year’s Treefort Music Fest.

existential ruminations and quirky song structures with gorgeous harmonies and astonishingly fluid guitar playing. Yoga practitioners should also catch vocalist Kali Giaritta—whose doom metal yoga class received coverage from Portland’s KATU News in 2016—at Yogafort.

KATE TEMPEST (MAIN STAGE, MARCH 26, 5:30 P.M.) “I am large, I contain multitudes,” Walt Whitman famously declared in “Song of Myself.” Kate Tempest could say the same. The London-based poet-musician won the Ted Hughes Award for poetry in 2013 and has opened for folk-punk songwriter Billy Bragg, Afrobeat musician Femi Kuti and rapper Saul Williams. Her hip-hop concept album Let Them Eat Chaos (Lex, 2016) has earned good reviews from The Guardian and The New Yorker.

ECSTATIC VISION (NEUROLUX, MARCH 26, 9:30 P.M.) This Philadelphia-based stoner rock group might be the only band in history (so far) to draw inspiration from krautrock, Hawkwind and Fela Kuti. You can hear these influences in Ecstatic Vision’s spaced-out drones and hyperactive beats.

LOCAL ARTISTS THE HAND (NEUROLUX, MARCH 22, 9 P.M.) At the end of The Hand’s Treefort 2013 set, Built to Spill leader Doug Martsch came onstage and played a few Treepeople songs with his old bandmate Scott Schmaljohn. That might not happen again, but Schmaljohn’s raw guitar solos and the hard-driving rhythm section of James

Johnson and Cody Roy should rock more than hard enough on their own.

LEAFRAKER (EL KORAH, MARCH 23, 8 P.M.) With his cryptic lyrics and motor-mouthed flow, this burly Nampa rapper is one of the most surprising and fascinating local acts of recent years.

ELVICE MWENEMATALE (BOISE ALL-AGES MOVEMENT PROJECT, MARCH 24, 5 P.M.) This Congolese transplant has kept a low profile over the past two years, but he gave a stunning performance at Treefort 2015. If Mwenematale’s 2017 set has half the energy of his last one, it’ll still be one of this year’s best.

AARON BROWN AND THE INVASION (OLYMPIC, MARCH 24, 7 P.M.) On one song, Aaron Brown and the Invasion could sound like Harry Nilsson or Leon Russell.

On the next, they could sound like The Beatles.

On the one after that, they could sound like Lynyrd Skynyrd. Whatever they play, their sly, goofy warm-heartedness will shine through.

PAPER GATES (BOISE CONTEMPORARY THEATER, MARCH 25, 5:30 P.M.) Although he lives in Portland now, multiinstrumentalist Andy Rayborn (aka Paper Gates) lived in Boise for eight years and served as Sun Blood Stories’ bassist and saxophone player. If you miss his experimental solo project, you might still see him around—he sat in with 10 different bands at Treefort 2014.

Scott Biram plays by his own rules, which is a lot easier when you lead a one-man-band.

The 42-year-old Texan plays a rugged electrified blues that he compares to John Lee Hooker.

“All I am is a loud version of John Lee Hooker’s solo set-up,” Biram said. “He was stomping his foot on the floor with a mike or whatever, but it’s when it comes down to the one-man-band part of mine, I’m just a dude with too many speakers.”

Biram has been releasing music under his name for 17 years and, in February, released his ninth album, The Bad Testament (Bloodshot Records). The album mixes his typical raucous blues rumble with a more sedate country/ acoustic vibe. This mix of loud and soft is par for the course live, though a bit less so on wax.

“I don’t know, I think I’ll always go back and forth,” he said. “There were some songs from past records I don’t even play live because I wrote them on the couch without a microphone and it just sounds weird when it SCOTT BIRAM comes through a With Jesse Dayton speaker for me.” and Alien Knife Fight; Wednesday, March 29; 7 Recently, Biram p.m. doors/8 p.m. show; took part in the Out$10-$12. Neurolux,111 N. law Country Cruise, 11th St., 208-343-0886, where he joined neurolux.com. his buddy, Shooter Jennings on stage.

Biram also shared a suite with Jennings—the son of legendary outlaw country artist Waylon Jennings—and his mother, Jessi Colter.

“We had this really amazing suite with this grand piano KISS had ordered to be up there and every morning Miss Jessi would be tinkering with the piano and would say, ‘Come over here and help me write songs, Scott,’” he said.

“So that was pretty awesome.”

Biram and Jennings also talked a little shop.

“I was telling [Shooter] the other night how I really respect how he’ll go and do a fairly contemporary cover that’s not country and is out there a little bit or a weird choice. That’s what his dad would do,” he said. “His dad covered ‘Gold Dust Woman,’ a Stevie Nicks song. And ‘McArthur Park.’ That’s inspiring to me when someone goes out of their comfort zone.”

ERIC CHURCH, MARCH 24, TACO BELL ARENA Treefort Music Fest seems to own music happenings in Boise this week but instead of detracting from non TFM-related shows, it creates a kind of buzz that prompts people who might not be regular concert goers to seek out a live show. That said, country musician Eric Church always attracts a crowd. A big crowd.

Church, whose 2014-2015 tour saw unprecedented attendance numbers at arenas across the United States, is incorporating some new concepts on his current 60-city Holdin’ My Own Tour, that may see him breaking his own records. For one, he’s not touring with any support: Fans get two hourlong sets of Church and the Eric Church Band (with a intermission in between). Two, Church wanted to make sure his fan club—the Church Choir—wasn’t undercut by scalpers, so presale tickets were only available to members. Church’s camp overhauled the pre-sale and on-sale ticket systems and, to ensure some smart hacker didn’t discover a workaround, they vowed to cancel any ill-gotten gains. Church and Co. have kept their promise: markets around the U.S. reported more than 25,000 tickets purchased by scalpers. Amen.

IDAHO SONGWRITERS ASSOCIATION FORUM: SONGS OF TRAVEL—7 p.m. FREE. Sapphire

The lonely steppes outside Pendleton, Ore., can inspire vaguely apocalyptic musings. Set in a stretch of brown country west of the Blue Mountains, there’s an Army installation not far from town where chemical weapons were once stored. The Hanford nuclear site is only about 100 miles to the north and the Wildhorse Casino Resort off I-84 is pretty much always busy.

In this landscape the quirky, faintly doom-struck folk-rock/ sock-hop of James Dean Kindle and The Eastern Oregon Playboys is right at home. Literally.

The track “Welcome to Desolation,” from the Pendletonbased band’s forthcoming album Roaming Charges May Apply (spring 2017), aptly sums up the feeling: “Leavin’ pieces of rusty farm machinery out in the field/ Unsolicited bar fights tonight while the daylight steals/ Poison in the reservoir/ Gettin’ high off your own supply/ Watchin’ flocks of coffin birds fallin’ out of the toxic sky.”

With jangly electric guitar and pulsing organ, it’s evocative of the Doors’ dreamy, dread-filled sound but with a hint of country twang that turns desolation into elation.

Rebecca Rusch’s past finally caught up with her, and it’s a good thing. The worldclass extreme athlete rarely stands still—she’s a seven-time world champion in multiple sports—but she embraced the opportunity to take center stage for the March 15 soldout world premiere of Blood Road, which chronicled her ride across Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam on the Ho Chi Minh trail in her search of the spot where her father was shot down and killed during the Vietnam War 45 years ago this month.

“My father was talking to me through the years,” Rusch told BW. “All my roads led to this journey.” When the lights came up after the premiere, the audience leapt to its feet in applause. Blood Road was so popular, a second screening—also sold out—was added to the festival. The film took home the acclaimed SVFF Audience Award.

TODAY National Geographic filmmaker Bob Poole lights up when he talks about his latest project.

“Actually, it was at last year’s Sun Valley Film Festival that Nat Geo approached me and said, ‘We’ve got two words for you: Cheetah Diaries. Of course, I had to do it,’” Poole told BW. His relationship with National Geo-

WINESIPPER THE BEAUTY OF BARBERA Barbera, grown throughout Italy (and the rest of the world), is probably best known as the other grape from Piedmont. While it doesn’t share the vaunted reputation of Nebbiolo (the other grape), it has its own merits as an affordable, approachable red. Barbera offers rich fruit flavors in a lighter bodied wine with soft, unobtrusive tannins, making it a great choice for spring and early summer drinking.

The panel’s top three wines hail from each of Piedmont’s three Barbera regions.

2013 MICHELE CHIARLO BARBERA D’ASTI SUPERIORE, LE ORME, $16 Opens with dusty brambleberry and creamy cherry aromas. Eight months aging in French oak adds structure and complexity. You get round, ripe cherry and strawberry fruit flavors with a foodfriendly acid backbone, along with hints of anise, leather and cranberry.

Smooth tannins color the long finish.

2015 TENUTA LA PERGOLA MONFERRATO ROSSO, $18 This one is a blend of 56 percent Barbera, half each from Asti and Monferrato, combined with equal parts of Dolcetto, Bonardo, Freisa and Croatina. The result is a wine with gorgeous floral red fruit aromas, mingled with mineral and anise. The palate is ohso-smooth with silky, ripe berry balanced by tangy cherry. Touches of spice and toffee come through on the finish.

2014 VIETTI BARBERA D’ALBA, TRE VIGNE, $25 Offers up an exceptional array of aromas including blackberry, plum, caramel, anise, spice, violet and a touch of savory game. This is a well integrated wine with a rich core of cherry fruit surrounded by supple dark berry. Despite spending 16 months in oak, there’s just a hint of vanilla and wood on the finish.

CITIZEN ALLISON WILLIAMS

Getting the inside story of Get Out GEORGE PRENTICE

Spending an evening with Allison Williams—the stellar young actress and star of Girls—and talking about Get Out, one of the most provocative movies of this or any other year, is an assignment we highly recommend.

Girls, now in its finale season on HBO, is enjoying some of the series’ highest ratings in its seven-year run. She’s also co-starring in Get Out, which is scoring a stunning 99 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes—one of only six films to ever rank that high on the review aggregator website. Rolling Stone celebrated Get Out as a “jolt-a-minute horror show laced with racial tension and satirical wit.” Describing the film as a “modern American horror classic,” Forbes says Get Out captures the nation’s “current zeitgeist.”

Can you appreciate that people are talking about Get Out in the same way we talk about Rosemary’s Baby or Night of the Living Dead?

I knew that when I first read it, [writer/director] Jordan Peele had tapped into something very special, using a genre that for a long time hasn’t been used for a greater social commentary. I leapt at the opportunity.

At The Cat Doctor, we understand that cat behavior can be confusing. Join us at our place on Saturday, March 25th from 2:00-3:00 pm for a discussion about solving the cat behavior problems in your house.

Dr. Kerry Fost will provide insight into understanding cat behavior and solutions that work!

Free - but space is limited. RSVP Today!

When did you film this movie?

January through March 2016. I remember that the presidential debates were happening.

You know where I’m going with this.

I had a feeling.

By the time Donald Trump had been elected president, you had scheduled your release date for this February. And with racial unrest boiling at the surface...

I know exactly where you’re going with this.

Right after the election, I texted Jordan: “I wish this could come out now.” He said, with great sadness, that there probably wouldn’t be a time anytime soon when this movie wouldn’t be relevant and important. And then, post-November, the film became relevant in a whole new way as our country seemed to be increasingly bifurcated.

Let’s talk about casting. Your director’s choices in casting against type is rather brilliant. For goodness sakes, Bradley Whitford plays your father.

22 | MARCH 22–28, 2017 | BOISEweekly

I know. That’s Josh Lyman from The West Wing. But that’s another part of Jordan’s brilliance: Choosing unlikely people as villains. Very deliberate. He wanted me for the part of Rose because he thought people would trust me immediately, knowing that I came with the legacy of playing Marnie on Girls.

How did Jordan approach you?

He told my agent, “I need Allison to play this part.” Oddly enough, he asked for me based on my performance in Peter Pan [Williams played the title role in NBC’s 2014 live musical] and not my role on Girls. I think he knew that I would do just about anything, which is true. I will.

Speaking of Girls, does Marnie finally get a happy ending by the series finale?

You can’t just sneak in that question.

You can’t even say if she finds happiness?

No. How difficult was it to wrap the series?

Very, very sad.

Pardon my being superficial, but more than a few people are curious about your new hair color. Is that for a role?

No, a cover shoot for Allure. I was willing to change it to jumpstart my moving away from Marnie on Girls. It’s my break-up hair color.

Can I assume that each time you’ve seen Get Out that audiences react differently: gasping instead of laughing? Laughing instead of screaming? That must be a trip.

That’s one of the other things brilliant about Jordan: perfect timing. Someone in the audience screams at the screen, shouting, “That bitch is crazy.” And two seconds later, a character in the movie says, “That bitch is crazy.”

Tell me about the moment when you first read the script and eventually realized who your character would truly become.

It’s sounds a bit weird, but I was so honored that Jordan wanted me to play her. I knew at that exact moment that this was a huge responsibility, to carefully reveal her true character but in a way that you’ve never seen before.

DEAR MINERVA, I have an alcoholic friend who recently relapsed. Generally, they are really good and stay true to their recovery, however, every time they relapse they seemingly end up in a dangerous situation.

They often hurt themselves from recklessness and I worry for their safety. I want to be supportive of their recovery, but am not sure how to best handle these rare and hazardous relapses?

Sincerely, —A Concerned Friend

DEAR CONCERNED, Watching the struggles of our addict friends can be heartbreaking because there is a certain amount of helplessness on our part.

Ultimately, it is up to your friend to make the choice to be healthier.

What you describe is beyond partying and if they’ve sought treatment, then they know that, too. Since this isn’t a secret, talk to your friend about it and establish a protocol in the instances when they relapse. Let them know their relapses are scary and concerning. It can be as simple as a code word to let others know they are in a relapse or as elaborate as a series of people to contact to help. This is why sponsors are so helpful for some people in recovery. Recovery is an ongoing process. The best thing you can do is be patient with your friend. Remember, people only change when they are good and ready. There are bound to be stumbles along the way. They shouldn’t give up and you shouldn’t give up on them. They need stability more than ever now.

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.

TREEFORT MUSIC FEST APP In days past, music festival survival kits were more or less like those you’d bring on an afternoon hike: a few bottles of water, some candy bars, sunglasses, sunscreen and a hat. Today, music fest experiences are increasingly enhanced by technology, from wayfinding and online schedules to digital payment options and barcoded wrist bands.

The Treefort Music Fest app is the next step in the technological revolution. It lets users see lineups and schedules, hear music, stay abreast of the latest Treefort news and FREE, treefortmusicfest.com/app scope out happenings at ancillary forts.

In addition to the app’s old-school uses, like tagging desired acts and events, this revamped version includes a festival map, information about the Treeline shuttle service via ValleyRide (wristband-holders ride for free) and a guide to using Boise GreenBike.

HOBO JARGON

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Of course you want to get the best of everything. That doesn’t mean you should disdain cheap thrills that are more interesting and gratifying than the expensive kind.

Of course you enjoy taking risks.

There’s a big difference between gambling that’s spurred by superstitious hunches and gambling rooted in smart research. Of course you’re galvanized by competition. Why fritter away your competitive fire on efforts to impress people? A better use of that fire is to use it to hone your talents and integrity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If you own an untamable animal like a bull, the best way to manage it is to provide a fenced but spacious meadow where it can roam freely. So said famous Zen teacher Shunryu Suzuki, using a metaphor to address how we might deal with the unruly beasts in our own psyches. This is excellent advice for you right now, Taurus. I’d hate to see you try to quash or punish your inner wild thing. You need its boisterous power! It will be a fine ally if you can both keep it happy and make it work for you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If I were to provide a strict interpretation of the astrological omens, I’d advise you to PARTY HARDY AND ROWDY AND STRONG AND OFTEN! I’d suggest that you attend a raging bash or convivial festivity once

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

every day. And if that were logistically impossible, I’d advise you to stage your own daily celebrations, hopefully stocked with the most vivacious and stimulating people you can find. But I recognize that this counsel may be too extreme for you to honor. So I will simply invite you to PARTY HARDY AND ROWDY AND STRONG at least twice a week for the next four weeks. It’s the medicine you need.

doing dirty deeds. I’m thinking about breaking the taboos. Sunday: Found the strangest freshness in a place I didn’t expect to. Sometimes chaos is kind of cute and friendly.

Monday: The nagging voice of the taskmaster in my head is gone.

Ding-dong. Let freedom ring!

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You are on the verge of achieving a sly victory over the part of you that is unduly meek and passive.

I believe that in the coming weeks you will rise up like a resourceful hero and at least half-conquer a chronic fear. A rumbling streak of warrior luck will flow through you, enabling you to kill off any temptation you might have to take the easy way out. Congratulations in advance, my fellow Cancerian!

I have rarely seen our tribe have so much power to triumph over our unconscious attraction to the victim role.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): William Boyd writes novels, which require him to do copious research about the real-world milieus he wants his fictional characters to inhabit. For example, to ensure the authenticity of his book Waiting for Sunrise, he found out what it was like to live in Vienna in 1913. He compares his process of searching for juicy facts to the feeding habits of a blue whale: engorging huge amounts of seawater to strain out the plankton that are good to eat.

Ninety percent of the information he wades through is irrelevant, but the rest is tasty and nourishing. I suspect you’ll thrive on a similar approach in the coming weeks, Virgo. Be patient as you search for what’s useful.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Leo journal entry, Thursday: Am too settled and stale and entrenched. Feeling urges to get cheeky and tousled. Friday: So what if I slept a little longer and arrived late? Who cares if the dishes are piling up in the sink?

I hereby refuse law and order.

Saturday: I’m fantasizing about

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Here’s a new word for you: enantiodromia. It’s what happens when something turns into its opposite.

It is nature’s attempt to create equilibrium where there has been imbalance. Too much NO becomes YES, for example. A superabundance of yin mutates into yang, or an overemphasis on control

generates chaos. Flip-flops like these tend to be messy if we resist them, but interesting if we cooperate. I figure that’s your choice right now. Which will it be? The latter, I hope. P.S.: The reversals that you consciously co-create may not be perfect. Even if they are baffling, I bet they will also be amusing and magnificent.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): When I was 24, I lived in rural North Carolina and had a job washing dishes in a city four miles away.

I was too poor to own a bicycle, let alone a car. To get to work I had to trudge down back roads where hostile dogs and drunk men in pickup trucks roamed freely. Luckily, I discovered the art of psychic protection. At first I simply envisioned a golden force field surrounding me. Later I added visualizations of guardian animals to accompany me: two friendly lions and two sheltering wolves. Maybe it was just the placebo effect, but the experiment worked. My allies made me brave and kept me safe. You’re welcome to borrow them, Scorpio, or conjure up your own version of spirit protectors. You’re not in physical danger, but I suspect you need an extra layer of protection against other people’s bad moods, manipulative ploys and unconscious agendas.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I’m not suggesting you should listen to your heart with rapt atten-

tion every waking minute for the next four weeks. I don’t expect you to neglect the insights your mind has to offer. But I would love to see you boost your attunement to the intelligent organ at the center of your chest. You’re going to need its specific type of guidance more than ever in the coming months.

And at this particular moment, it is beginning to overflow with wisdom that’s so rich and raw that it could unleash a series of spiritual orgasms.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The empty space at the end of this sentence has intentionally been left blank.

The serene hiatus you just glided through comes to you courtesy of Healing Silence, an ancient form of do-it-yourself therapy. Healing Silence is based on the underappreciated truth that now and then it’s restorative to just SHUT UP and abstain from activity for a while. (As you know, the world is crammed with so much noise and frenzy that it can be hard to hear yourself think—or even feel.) With Healing Silence, you bask in a sanctuary of sweet nothingness for as long as you need to. Please try it sometime soon. Wrap yourself in the luxurious void of Healing Silence.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I hope you won’t feel the need to say any of these things: 1. “I’m sorry I gave you everything I had

without making sure you wanted it”; 2. “Will you please just stop asking me to be so real”; 3. “I long for the part of you that you’ll never give me.” Now here are things I hope you will say sometime soon: 1. “I thrived because the fire inside me burned brighter than the fire around me” (This declaration is lifted from novelist Joshua Graham.); 2. “I’m having fun, even though it’s not the same kind of fun everyone else is having” (Borrowed from author C.S. Lewis.); 3. “I’m not searching for who I am. I’m searching for the person I aspire to be.”

(Stolen from author Robert Brault.)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Are you fantasizing more about what you don’t have and can’t do than what you do have and can do? If so, please raise the “do have” and “can do” up to at least 51 percent. (Eighty percent would be better.) Have you been harshly critiquing yourself more than you have been gently taking care of yourself? If so, get your self-care level up to at least 51 percent.

(Eight-five percent is better.) Are you flirting with a backward type of courage that makes you nervous about what everyone thinks of you and expects from you? If so, I invite you to cultivate a different kind of courage at least 51 percent of the time: courage to do what’s right for you no matter what anyone thinks or expects. (Ninety percent is better.)
