EDITOR’S NOTE THE ARTISTRY OF BEING AN ARTIST My late mother was a consummate artist. As a painter, she filled large canvases with thick layers of earth-tone colored oils and acrylics, creating backdrops for somewhat whimsical, sometimes melancholy figures who were always accompanied by birds, fish or other fauna. She dedicated herself to her art and mainly subsisted off the irregular income her paintings brought in. Being a “starving artist” was an integral part of her self-identity and a metaphorical badge she wore with pride (even if “starving” was a little too close to a literal description at times). “You can’t call yourself an artist if you don’t make art,” she would often say. She definitely had opinions about what she considered good art and what she thought was bad, but there was no gray area when it came to being an artist: You are or you aren’t.

This week’s edition of Boise Weekly is filled with art and artists.

Beginning on Page 8, we have the winning images of our 15th Annual Black-and-White Photo Contest. The submissions this year were incredible (and legion, with almost 300 entries) and there was more than one frame-worthy photo. Congratulations to the winners. We’ll be in touch.

On Page 26, BW News Editor George Prentice has a sit-down with not one but two people playing the lead role in the 2017 Idaho Shakespeare Festival production of Hamlet. It takes an artist of the highest caliber to not only embody the role played by some of the greatest actors of all time, but to share it.

Then, on Page 21, intrepid BW freelancer Chris Parker shares an engaging and enlightening conversation with Alynda Segarra, the creative force behind American band Hurray for the Riff Raff, about her quest—both internal and external—for self.

As my mother would say, if you want to be something, you have to do something. So, let’s go do.

Insuring children provides an additional health benefit: peace of mind for parents.

Accord or no, public and private entities continue to adapt to climate change GEORGE PRENTICE

Data released June 13 in the 2017 Kids Count Data Book ranks Idaho No. 20 in the U.S. for overall child well-being. Gains and setbacks in Idaho during the last six years have largely mirrored those in the rest of the nation: Strides were made in health and economics, while education lagged. Arguably the most notable success for Idaho is a 45 percent decrease in the number of uninsured children in the state—according to Kids Count, just 6 percent of children in Idaho are uninsured. However, children’s advocates wonder how long this trend can continue.

Kids Count sources statistics from the National Center for Education Statistics, the U.S. Census Bureau, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, among others, and is produced by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, a philanthropic organization which funds research and grants for improving the lives of American children. The 2017 edition zeros in on data from the post-recession years of 2010 to 2015, examining national recovery in four key areas: health, family and community, education and economic well-being.

In its analysis of Kids Count results, AECF emphasized health as an area of both gains and potential losses. The organization attributed 95 percent of children in the U.S. being insured to Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program and the Affordable Care Act, and called it “a tremendous achievement that should not be jeopardized.”

Idaho Voices for Children (IVC) is a local nonprofit focused on prioritizing children in government policy, and IVC Director Lauren Necochea is also concerned.

“The proposed cuts to Medicaid and family tax credits in the American Health Care Act threaten critical progress we’ve made in protecting children’s health,” she said.

AECF advised removing barriers to health coverage and continuing federal and state investment in programs like CHIP and the ACA. It also made a nonpartisan appeal to federal and state policymakers, insisting they must “not back away from targeted investments that are proving to help U.S. children become healthier.”

President Donald Trump’s exit from the Paris climate accord generated its own global warming, touching off a worldwide political firestorm.

“Our children and grandchildren will look back on this decision, stunned that one leader could be divorced from reality and morality,” said Zack Waterman, director of the Idaho chapter of the Sierra Club.

A letter to Trump, signed by U.S. mayors representing more than 42 million constituents in 75 cities, urged the president to change course. One of the signees was Boise Mayor Dave Bieter.

“Knowing how important this is to Boiseans, it was a pretty easy decision to make” said Bieter.

“Ever since [Trump’s] election, we’ve prepared to push as hard as we can on certain issues.”

The mayor isn’t a Dave-comelately to the issue. He was among the first in the nation—and the first Idaho mayor—to sign onto the Mayor’s Agreement on Climate Change in 2006.

“Looking back, we were flying blind. We had no idea how well that would be received, but Boiseans embrace that cause,” Bieter said. “All these years later, I can tell you this is a daily push.”

Bieter pointed to renewed efforts to expand the city’s geothermal system; its conversion of hundreds of streetlights to energy efficient LEDs; construction of new LEED certified buildings; introducing electric vehicles to the city fleet and the initiation of a curbside composting program.

Perhaps Idaho’s biggest climate policy evolution can be found on Page 19 of Idaho Power’s 2016 Sustainability Report, outlining goals for Idaho’s largest utility: “Explore the development of a climate change adaptation plan focusing on the potential impacts to company operations from climate change-related events, including

more frequent wildfires, reduced snowpack and lower streamflow and riverflow.”

That’s music to Ben Otto’s ears. The chief energy associate for the Idaho Conservation League spends his days negotiating, discussing and sometimes disagreeing with utilities. In the wake of Trump’s 2016 presidential victory—following a campaign where he regularly said there was no need to address climate change—Otto said he had reason to worry.

“I was sitting in my Boise office and was bummed out, trying to think what might happen next. I knew I had a meeting coming up with Idaho Power where we were going to talk about their plans for the future, and I was kind of expecting a change in the wind,” he said. “Then my phone rang. It was John Bernardo, the sustainability strategist for Idaho Power. He said, ‘Ben, I just want to tell you, I know all this stuff has happened. It’s not changing the company’s direction.

We’re going to continue to follow the facts and that’s how we make plans for Idaho.”

Bernardo confirmed that’s what he told Otto.

“You bet. I well remember that phone conversation,” Bernardo said.

For the past eight years, Bernardo has helped Idaho Power identify efficiencies and significant cultural change that also make financial sense.

“For instance, we’re promoting electric vehicles,” said Bernardo, acknowledging an increase in electric cars means more consumer demand for Idaho Power’s product.

“Yes, that’s financial opportunity for us, but it’s a direct benefit to society,” he said. “If you compare, you travel about the same distance for about $2.20 a gallon for gas versus 85 cents for electric.”

Otto agreed electric vehicles “are a huge marketing opportunity for Idaho Power.”

“But we’re completely fine with that, because Idaho’s No. 1 air quality threat, by far, comes from vehicle emissions,” he added. “Electric cars are great but rare in Idaho because the range for electric car batteries isn’t where it needs to be yet.”

That’s about to change, Bernardo said.

“Have you heard about the Chevy Bolt? Not the Volt, but the Bolt. The Volt is a hybrid of electric and gas, but the Bolt is all electric,” he said.

“The Bolt’s battery charge has a 230-mile range.

That’s a game changer. ” The biggest game changer at Idaho Power is its new take on coal, which for decades fueled much of the power generated in the U.S. A generation ago, it would have been inconceivable for an Idaho Power executive to concede coal was bad, but Bernardo talked about Idaho Power being on the “gliding path away from coal.”

“Look, even economically, coal doesn’t make sense,” he said. “It may not have been like this years ago, but there are two big reasons why we’re exiting coal. No. 1: the environmental impact. No. 2: There currently isn’t a carbon tax or a cap and trade on coal. But we’re anticipating that’s going to happen someday.”

Bernardo pointed to a graph showing an ever-shrinking Idaho Power coal-fired power generation, amounting to a 44 percent reduction since 2005.

“In 2005, we had near 6 million megawatt hours of power fueled by coal. We’re down to nearly 3 million and we’re discontinuing our purchase of power from coal-powered plants going forward,” he said.

At Boise City Hall, where he occasionally picks up an electric vehicle from the city’s fleet of vehicles, Bieter said adaptation to the threat of climate change will roll on no matter who’s in the White House.

“It’s a daily push from our council, staff and city employees,” he said. “And that’s consistent with where our citizens tell us they want us to be.”

THE LONG GOODBYE

NEWS

Marian Pritchett High will graduate to new facility PAT T Y BOWEN The building at 1617 N. 24th St. is known to many Boiseans as the Booth Home. It was built by the Salvation Army in 1921 and initially served as a small hospital and home for unwed mothers. In 1963, it became a high school, and in 2002, it was renamed in honor of longtime instructor Marian Pritchett. It operates in a unique partnership between the Salvation Army and Boise Independent School District and has seen hundreds of girls—and a few boys—graduate. “Being a parent and having a kid has made me look at more things with depth,� said new graduate and father Austin Preston. “Everything I do, I want to make sure [my son] has what he needs.�

Preston dropped out of school but, soon after learning he was going to be a father, opted to resume his studies at Marian Pritchett. Now that he has his diploma, Preston is planning to begin an apprenticeship to become an electrician.

Another recent graduate, Elizabeth Heist, is in the process of earning her CNA certification.

She is due to give birth this summer. “[When you become pregnant], you lose your friends, you lose your family members.

They won’t talk to you anymore, but it’s kind of crazy,� Heist said. “Just because this happened, it doesn’t mean I’m any less of a person. It just means I have a different path than I thought I was going to have.�

Heist’s and Preston’s class is among the last to graduate from the North End location of Marian Pritchett before the doors open on a new facility.

The Salvation Army is currently in the process of fundraising for the project, planned to get underway in September 2019 near Emerald Street and Maple Grove Road. The new school will expand the capacity of Marian Pritchett from around 50 students to 125, and from 80 to 100 newborns. The Salvation Army helps the school provide on-site child care for its students. “The sky is really the limit for the new facility,� said Salvation Army Boise Corps Officer Major Rhonda Lloyd. “We have big dreams for how we can serve the community.�

The project is expected to cost $11 million, with $8.5 million raised by community fundraising—currently, the Salvation Army has pulled together $5.3 million. In order to break BOISE WEEKLY.COM

ground, Lloyd said they need to reach a $6.2 million threshold and, once they do, they will put the 24th Street building on the market. “Of course, it’s very difficult to leave that area, but we are not able to do what we need to do on that campus,� said Lloyd. “The neighborhood has given feedback that indicates they do not want us to do some of the things typical for Salvation Army to do.�

Those “typical� things include feeding and providing shelter for people in need. “We simply can’t enlarge on that site, so, unfortunately, we are needing to sell the property to fund the next property to keep going,�

Lloyd said.

Meanwhile, some people are worried about preserving the historic 1921 building once the school moves. The board of the North End Neighborhood Association surveyed 215 citizens—the majority living in the North End— from January 30 to March 4, asking what kind of infrastructure they would like to see on the Marian Pritchett School lot. The data showed 82 percent of those surveyed believe the building should be preserved. “We must begin planning now for how best to utilize the Site’s potential,� NENA stated in a letter to Lloyd, Boise Mayor Dave Bieter and members of the Boise City Council. “Obviously, there is a strong desire in the community to preserve it,� said NENA Board Member Stephen Miller. “What often happens in Boise is there will be a developer that comes in with a specific plan and, by the time that plan is generated, it is set in stone for the most part. We are trying to get ahead of that.�

Lloyd said the Salvation Army is “not opposed� to the building becoming a historical

landmark, but added, “We need to get every dollar we can out of that building to fund the next building.� “Every dollar we get goes back into the community and we simply do not have the funding to hold back that piece of property or to keep it going as a museum,� she said.

In response to the letter, Bieter said the City Council “cannot sanction those processes or outcomes at this time, however once the property has been sold we will certainly advise the new owner that a cooperative engagement process with NENA will be the key to successful development. We appreciate NENA’s interest in being involved in the planning process for this property. However, planning for private property cannot be a unilateral exercise that does not include the landowner. We have spoken with Salvation Army, and they have discussed that their intent at this time is to sell the property as it is currently zoned. Salvation Army has decided to leave the public planning process in the hands of the future buyer since they will no longer be the owner of this property.�

Miller said NENA will be hosting a “visioning exercise� to open the discussion to more of the community in the next couple months.

Interested individuals can contact the NENA at board@northendboise.org.

Regardless of the outcome of the valued property, Marian Pritchett head teacher and site administrator Deborah Hedden-Nicely said the original North End location will be missed. “It’s quiet. It’s confidential to the students.

This building—even though it is falling down—has great memories for all of us,� she said. “It’s non-institutional. The smallness, the intimacy—it will all be missed.�

Advances in cell phone cameras have made it easy for even the most inexpert among us to consider ourselves photographers. Like any other art form, however, photography requires skill, talent or a combination of the two. True photographers not only see the world around them differently— often capturing things the rest of us miss—they are able to convey their particular vision.

Submissions to our 15th annual Boise Weekly Black and White Photo Contest were some of the best we’ve ever seen, and with almost 300 submissions, we were grateful talented local photographers Glenn Landberg, Laurie Pearman and Patrick Sweeney joined Boise Weekly Art Director Kelsey Hawes and Editor-In-Chief Amy Atkins to choose from among them.

THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

DELI DAYS: IDAHO’S JEWISH FESTIVAL

EMMA ARNOLD SHOW AND TAPING

Ever since The Phantom of the Opera first opened in 1986 in London’s West End, the terrifying but vocally gifted man behind the mask has been crashing chandeliers onto stages across the planet. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s masterpiece is now the longest running musical on Broadway (more than 12,000 performances to date).

The current North American tour, featuring what producers are calling a re-imagined scenic design and 21st century pyrotechnics, will haunt the Morrison Center beginning Wednesday, June 14, and continuing through Sunday, June 25. “The new set design is… well, it’s mind blowing,” said Derrick Davis, who plays the leading role “Trust me, you’ll get your money’s worth.” Making this production doubly exciting is the fact that Davis is only the third African American actor in history to wear the mask of the Phantom. $50-$125, Morrison Center, 2201 Cesar Chavez Lane, 208426-1609, morrisoncenter.com.

Deli Days is an old and beloved Boise tradition. As if the City of Trees weren’t hankering for pastrami sandwiches and knishes already, the annual event at Congregation Ahavath Beth Israel just got hotter—literally. Thursday and Friday, zip up to the synagogue on the Boise Bench for pastrami and corned beef sandwiches served hot, new items like egg creams—milk, seltzer and chocolate syrup—and adult beverages like beer from Highlands Hollow, Longdrop Cider and wine from Proletariat. Work off those carbs dancing to music by Leta Neustaedter (singing Streisand) and Fleet Street Klezmer Band on Thursday, and Lucky Tongue and Idaho Peace Band on Friday.

Deli Days is free to attend, and food and drinks can be bought on a ticket system at $2 a ticket or 13 tickets for $20. Check the website for details.

11 a.m.-9 p.m., FREE. Congregation Ahavath Beth Israel, 11 N. Latah St., 208-343-6601, cabi-boise.org.

Comedian Emma Arnold has achieved what every local performer aspires to: Living in Boise, with its renowned quality of life, while making it nationally. Arnold hit 52 cities in 2016 alone, and she has already crisscrossed the country in the first six months of 2017.

Following a run of shows in New York City, Arnold will jet back to Boise for Yum Yum Comedy at Spacebar Thursday, June 15, and a 21-plus benefit show and taping at Visual Arts Collective Friday, June 16 (valid ID required).

The VAC show, which benefits Planned Parenthood with all proceeds from the door, will feature stand-up and storytelling from Arnold and musical accompaniment by Thomas Paul.

Doors at 7 p.m., show at 8 p.m.; $15. Visual Arts Collective, 3638 Osage St., Garden City, 208-424-8297, visualartscollective.com.

NOISE Alynda Segarra of Hurray for the Riff Raff finds purpose in her search for self

SARR AH DANZIGER

WHO AM I? CHRIS PARKER

During the past 10 years, Alynda Segarra, leader of Orleans-born band Hurray for the Riff Raff, endured an odyssey of discovery, which informed HFTRR’s new concept album, The Navigator (ATO Records, March 2017). Inspired in part

by David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust, the dystopiantinged Navigator is the story of Navita, who, upon returning home, finds her city destroyed, so she sets out in search of identity and family.

The real-life journey for Segarra began when she dropped out of high school and left her Bronx Alynda Segarra and Hurray for the Riff Raff will set a course for Boise. home at 16. She squatted in abandoned buildings on the Lower East Side of New York.

“I kinda felt that was where all the weirdos tory she’d made for herself as well, with the ethos community feeling while you are on stage and were, all the artist and the poets,” Segarra says. “I and spirit of punk and Americana simmering people are literally looking up at you,” Segarra was really drawn to the romanticism of it being beneath. She didn’t need to account for it. She says. “It has taken until this album to figure out near the village and the beatniks. I thought I was was the melting pot. how to do that.

FREE. Grove Plaza

WESTERN CENTURIES, JUNE 14, GROVE PLAZA With only Weight of the World (Free Dirt Records, 2016) to its name, Western Centuries is a relatively new band, but you wouldn’t know it from the tight rhythms and rocking country sensibility. The practiced vibe can be credited to the shared experience of Seattlebased Cahalen Morrison, of Cahalen Morrison & Eli West; veteran jam band performer and Donna and the Buffalo co-founder Jim Miller; R&B/bluegrass/punk songwriter Ethan Lawton; pedal steel player Rusty Blake; and bassist Dan Lowinger.

Seamless vocal harmonies are stock-in-trade for Western Centuries, along with whip-smart lyrics and a toe-tapping combination of roots rock, R&B, traditional roadhouse country and a hint of Zydeco shuffle. Catch Western Centuries with local opener Idyltime at Alive After Five, and get a taste for deft “neo-traditional two-stepping tunes” transformed into “rootsy rock ’n’ roll doused think-pieces.”

BLITZEN TRAPPER, JUNE 21, NEUROLUX Spanning 14 years and eight albums, Portland, Ore.-based band Blitzen Trapper (blitzentrapper.net) has covered a lot of sonic ground, blending psychedelia, rock, folk, country, funk and pop music to craft anthems for wandering spirits. The last Blitzen Trapper album, All Across This Land (Vagrant Records, 2015), was described as a “throttle-up, open-highway sort of album” by Eric Swedlund in Paste for its energy, focus and songwriting by BT vocalist Eric Earley. The album draws more from Southern- and classic rock with driving guitar riffs but like a cell phone case, the new skin on All Across barely obscures what fans of the band know and love.

Fans will find even more to adore when Blitzen Trapper plays Neurolux on Wednesday, June 21, with BT founding member Marty Marquis opening.

The real star of Paris Can Wait is the food GEORGE PRENTICE

STARTS FRIDAY, JUNE 16th

Try to jog your memory and recall …oh, let’s say your fifth favorite summer of all time. Not the best and certainly not the worst, but if your lifetime of summers were ranked, this one would come in No. 5. That’s about the level of enthusiasm I have for Paris Can Wait. It’s a pleasing early-summer diversion directed by Eleanor Coppola and starring the always alluring Diane Lane, who has become the go-to actress of her generation for similarly fizzy films. From My Dog Alec Baldwin (left) and Arnaud Viard (right) compete for the attention of Diane Lane (center). Both may lose out to Skip (2000) to Under the Tuscan Sun (2003), Must French cuisine.

WINESIPPER RIESLING: TRY IT DRY Riesling wines are among the finest in the world. While many are on the sweet side, they can also be bone dry, especially those from Austria and Australia. Because the sugar levels vary so much, the International Riesling Federation came up with a descriptive chart— often found on the back label of the bottle— specifying the level of sweetness. When the heat is on, nothing is more refreshing than a chilled dry riesling (less than one percent residual sugar). Here are the panel’s top picks: 2013 CHEHALEM THREE VINEYARD RIESLING, $22 Riesling vines thrive in the Northwest, and this Willamette Valley entry is an outstanding example. There’s a hint of green olive in the deep, rich, lime aromas, along with a classic hit of petrol, which is better than it sounds. The flavors are equally rich with lively stone fruit and green apple colored by clover and spice. This is a real winner.

2012 LETH RIESLING, $17.99 Rieslings, both dry and sweet, age beautifully as this Austrian entry with a few years in the bottle proves. Heady ripe citrus aromas lead off, along with apricot and touches of dill and mineral. This is a beautifully balanced wine marked by racy lime and stone fruit flavors showing remarkable length.

2015 PEWSEY VALE DRY RIESLING, $16.99 The high altitude Pewsey Vale vineyard in the Eden Valley of Australia dates back to 1847.

This bone-dry riesling opens with crisp citrus and ripe apple aromas, while sweet/tart lemon drop flavors dominate the palate, backed by spicy peach lingering nicely on the finish. It pairs great with spicy Asian cuisine.

LAURA WELSH BERG AND JONATHAN DYRUD Meet the Hamlets of Idaho Shakespeare Festival 2017 GEORGE PRENTICE

Hamlet continues to run in repertory through much of June at the Idaho Shakespeare Festival, where the amphitheater has been transformed into a richly-designed Elizabethan setting with new seating sections added on the stage. The new design has people talking, but the real buzz around ISF this summer is about the casting. Laura Welsh Berg and Jonathan Dyrud are alternating in the lead role—and when not playing the titular Danish prince, Berg and Dyrud are also part of the supporting company. On a rare day off, the two actors sat down with Boise Weekly to talk about a summer neither will soon forget.

Many actors have told me they go out of their way not to be influenced by another actor’s performance in the same role. I’m guessing that’s impossible for you two, because when one of you is portraying Hamlet, the other is playing Rosencrantz.

Dyrud: It’s a unique opportunity to serve up the lines the way you would like them served up. It’s a great way to be the best supporting character you can possibly be, because you want the exact same treatment when you’re playing Hamlet.

Berg: Yes, the same lines are spoken night

26 | JUNE 14–20, 2017 | BOISEweekly

to night, but our reactions to those lines are completely different. We look at two Hamlets, side by side, and realize this can be completely different. Being able to watch someone else and learn more about the same character you’ll be playing is a crazy, wonderful gift.

To that end, talk to me about each other’s Hamlet.

Berg: John’s Hamlet is beautiful; it’s emotional and immediate. John’s gift as an actor is his ability to live in the moment, play in the moment and take a slightly different journey every night. He’s just incredibly present.

Dyrud: It has been incredibly inspiring for me to watch Laura’s courage, conviction and fortitude in tackling this production. As for her performance, it’s incredible. Her facility with language and her ability to craft the nuances of scenes is something I’ll remember for the rest of my life.

Artistic producing director, Charlie Fee, who also happens to be this production’s director, told me when he announced ISF was about to produce Hamlet, he opened up the audition process for the lead role to the entire company. But Laura, it’s my

understanding that you didn’t audition initially. How come?

Berg: Honestly, I didn’t think it was possible.

I grew up never having seen a woman play Hamlet. I know it happens more often in the U.K., but I didn’t know if it was possible here. I did actually approach Charlie and ask about the possibility of playing Horatio, because I thought that was a role possibly cast with a woman or man. Charlie said, “Sure, but why wouldn’t you come in to audition for Hamlet?” I was eating a snack between rehearsals, and I almost spit up oatmeal all over him.

Talk to me about the experience of young women—most of them seeing Hamlet for the first time—seeing you in the lead role.

Berg: I’ve heard, “I never thought a woman could play Hamlet,” or, “I want to play Hamlet someday.” To them I say, “I look forward to that, and let me know when you do, because I’ll come see you someday.”

Dyrud: Laura is the only female playing Hamlet professionally in the United States right now. This is an amazing summer.

OK, let’s do a lightning round of questions.

Comedy or tragedy?

Dyrud. Really? I love comedy. But tragedy.

Yes, tragedy.

Berg: Tragedy. I’m not very funny.

Which Shakespearean role of the opposite sex would you like to play? Laura, you can’t pick Hamlet.

Dyrud: Margaret in Richard III. Berg: Richard III [Berg played Richard III in college].

Other than Hamlet, your favorite Shakespeare play is…

Dyrud: Coriolanus.

Berg: Richard III. The one thing you absolutely must do before a performance is…

Dyrud: Use the restroom.

Berg: Vocal warm-ups.

The one thing you absolutely must do to unwind after a performance is…

Berg: Have some alone time with a bit of music.

Dyrud: Drink a beer.

Just one?

Dyrud: Usually just one.

DEAR MINERVA, I am a prudent fellow. It’s rare that I indulge in one-night shenanigans. This past weekend, however, I met a guy that tickled every one of my prerequisites for being intimate. He’s smart, funny, engaging, driven and not bad to look at. Needless to say, we had a great time that stretched into the early hours of the morning. After he left, I was compelled to seek him out on social media and instantly learned he’s in a committed relationship. I don’t feel disappointment from losing the chance to get to know him better, but I feel sick to my stomach and angry. How do you reconcile indignant rage from being misled with deep guilt for secretly hurting someone you don’t even know? Is there something I should’ve done better?

—Sick to My Stomach

DEAR SICK, You, my sweet, are guiltless in this situation. You’re not responsible for Casanova’s failure to remain faithful. Even if he and his partner have an open relationship, he should have had the courtesy to let you know what you were entering into. I have been in this scenario myself. Please realize there is nothing you could have done to assure everything was on the level. Societal expectations are that others will be honest with us but, unfortunately, some people deceive to get who they want. If there is such a thing as karma, Hell or some other magical accountability process, he’ll get his. If there isn’t, the world keeps turning. Your integrity is still intact.

FIT-OVER SUNGLASSES Clip-on sunglasses are clunky, and prescription sunglasses are expensive, but wearing a pair of sunglasses over your glasses is unwieldy and can look a little odd—until now.

Several companies, including Cocoons, Solar Shield, Suncover and Yodo are manufacturing shades that fit over prescription glasses or readers. The lenses are usually polarized, and the glasses are comfortable and even fashionable. There’s also a safety element, since you no longer have to squint to keep the sun out Prices vary of your eyes or wear non-prescription For local Cocoons retailssunglasses. ers, visit cocoonseyewear Foster Grant makes the Haven and click “Store Locator.” model (pictured), which comes in black, blush, coral and red and sells for less than $20 per pair online at fostergrant.com.

JEN SORENSEN

HOBO JARGON

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): You have to admit salt looks like sugar and sugar resembles salt.

This isn’t usually a major problem, though. Mistakenly sprinkling sugar on your food when you thought you were adding salt won’t hurt you, nor will putting salt in your coffee when you assumed you were using sugar. Errors like these are inconvenient, and they can wreck a meal. You may want to apply this lesson as a metaphor in the coming days, Aries. Be alert for things that outwardly seem to be alike but actually have different tastes and effects.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Here’s a possible plan for the next 10 days: Program your smart phone to sound an alarm once every hour during the entire time you’re awake. Each time the bell or buzzer goes off, you will vividly remember your life’s main purpose. You will ask yourself whether or not the activity you’re engaged in at that specific moment is somehow serving your life’s main purpose. If it is, literally pat yourself on the back and say to yourself, “Good job!” If it’s not, say the following words: “I am resolved to get into closer alignment with my soul’s code—the blueprint of my destiny.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Actress Marisa Berenson offers a line of anti-aging products that

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

contain an elixir made from the seeds of a desert fruit known as prickly pear. The manufacturing process isn’t easy. To produce a quart of the potion requires 2,000 pounds of seeds. I see you as having a metaphorically similar challenge in the coming weeks, Gemini. To create a small amount of the precious stuff you want, I’m guessing you’ll have to gather a ton of raw materials, and there may be a desert-like phenomena to deal with, as well.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): There are three kinds of habits: good, bad, and neutral. Neutral habits are neither good nor bad but use up psychic energy that might be better directed into cultivating good habits. Here are some examples: a good habit is when you’re disciplined about eating healthy food; a bad habit is watching violent TV shows before going to bed, thereby disturbing your sleep; a neutral habit might be doing Sudoku puzzles. My challenge to you, Cancerian, is to dissolve one bad habit and one neutral habit by replacing them with two new good habits. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, cosmic forces will be on your side as you make this effort.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Dear Dr. Astrology, Good fortune has been visiting me a lot lately.

Many cool opportunities have

come my way. Life is consistently interesting. I’ve also made two unwise moves that fortunately didn’t bring bad results. Things often work out better for me than I imagined they would! I’m grateful every day, but I feel like I should somehow show even more appreciation. Any ideas? —Lucky Leo. “ Dear Lucky, The smartest response to the abundance you have enjoyed is to boost your generosity. Give out blessings. Dispense praise. Help people access their potentials. Intensify your efforts to share your wealth.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Years ago, a fan of my work named Paul emailed to ask me if I wanted to get together with him and his friend when I visited New York.

“Maybe you know her?” he wrote.

“She’s the artist Cindy Sherman.”

Back then, I had never heard of Cindy, but since Paul was smart and funny, I agreed to meet. The three of us convened in an elegant tea room for a boisterous conversation. A week later, when I was back home and mentioned the event to a colleague, her eyes got big and she shrieked, “You had tea with the Cindy Sherman!” She then educated me on how successful and influential Cindy’s photography has been. I predict you will soon have a comparable experience, Virgo: inadvertent contact with an intriguing presence. Hopefully, because I’ve given you a heads

up, you’ll recognize what’s happening as it occurs, and take full advantage.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’ll never get access to the treasure buried under the cherry tree next to the ruined barn if you stay in your command center and keep staring at the map instead of venturing out to the barn. Likewise, a symbol of truth may be helpful in experiencing deeper meaning, but it’s not the same as communing with the raw truth, and may even become a distraction from it. Let’s consider one further variation on the theme: The pictures in your mind’s eye may or may not have any connection with the world outside your brain. It’s especially important that you monitor their accuracy in the coming days.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Maybe it wasn’t such a good idea to go gallivanting heedlessly into the labyrinth. Or maybe it was.

Who knows? It’s still too early to assess the value of your experiences in that maddening but fascinating tangle. You may not yet be fully able to distinguish the smoke and mirrors from the useful revelations. Which of the riddles you’ve gathered will ultimately bring frustration and which will lead you to wisdom? Here’s one thing I do know for sure: If you want to exit the labyrinth, an opportunity will soon appear.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Over the years, I’ve read numerous news reports about people who have engaged in intimate relations with clunky inanimate objects. One had sex with a bicycle. Another seduced a sidewalk, and a third tried to make sweet love to a picnic table. I hope you won’t join their ranks in the coming weeks. Your longing is likely to be extra intense, innovative and even exotic, but I trust you will confine its expression to unions with adult human beings who know what they’re getting into and who have consented to play.

Here’s an old English word you might want to add to your vocabulary: “blissom,” which means “to bleat with sexual desire.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your life in the coming days should be low on lightweight diversions and high in top-quality content. Does that sound like fun?

I hope so. I’d love to see you enjoy the hell out of yourself as you cut the fluff and focus on the pith and as you efficiently get to the hype-free heart of every matter and refuse to tolerate waffling or stalling. So strip away the glossy excesses, my dear Capricorn. Skip a few steps if that doesn’t cause any envy. Expose the pretty lies, but then just work around them; don’t get bogged down in indulging in negative emotions about them.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Inventor, architect, and author Buckminster Fuller lived to the age of 87. For 63 of those years, he kept a detailed scrapbook diary that documented every day of his life. It included his reflections, correspondence, drawings, newspaper clippings, grocery bills and other evidence of his unique story.

I would love to see you express yourself with that much disciplined ferocity during the next two weeks.

According to my astrological analysis, you’re in a phase when you have maximum power to create your life with vigorous ingenuity and to show everyone exactly who you are.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You have a cosmic license to enjoy almost too much sensual pleasure.

In addition, you should feel free to do more of what you love to do than you normally allow yourself.

Be unapologetic about surrounding yourself with flatterers and worshipers. Be sumptuously lazy. Ask others to pick up the slack for you.

Got all that? It’s just the first part of your oracle. Here’s the rest: You have a cosmic license to explore the kind of spiritual growth that’s possible when you feel happy and fulfilled. As you go through each day, expect life to bring you exactly what you need to uplift you.

Assume the best service you can offer your fellow humans is to be relaxed and content.
