The term “popularity”—especially when coupled with “contest”— has a negative connotation, but sometimes a beloved [insert noun] is so because it deserves to be. A familiar trope in coming-of-age rom-coms is the nerdy/ geeky/brainy/artsy teens, who are willing to do anything to be popular but ultimately discover being true to themselves is all they have to do to make friends and find happiness. However, now the former outcasts are, technically, popular. They are smart, artistic, kind or all of the above. Their uniqueness, which initially made them a target, is now what draws others to them. It’s a win/win. Speaking of winners, this Wednesday, Aug. 2 edition of Boise Weekly coincides with the launch of our annual Best of Boise poll. For more than 20 years, our readers have bestowed the best-of title on their favorite local artists, bars, cocktails, landmarks, meals, musicians, politicians, professionals, retailers, restaurants and more. Sure, BOB is a popularity contest of sorts, but in a city with so many entertainment and service options, excellence shines— and our readers reward it. Below are a few details on how you can turn the spotlight on your faves: Visit bob.boiseweekly.com Aug. 2-Aug. 23 and follow the voting instructions. Voting ends Aug. 23 at midnight. Finalists were selected during the nomination process, so there are no write-ins. There is no minimum number of votes required for your ballot to count. You can vote from a computer or mobile device, and you don’t have to do all of your voting at once. You can log out and back in as many times as you like. As part of our new Best of Boise voting process, some of our advertisers have purchased space on the voting ballot to promote voting in their categories. These are paid advertisements. They do not reflect sponsorship of the Best of Boise category. Thanks for voting. You get to throw a little love at things you love, and we get to publish a kick-ass BOB issue on Sept. 27. Win/win/win. —Amy Atkins

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

OPINION BASHFUL PATRIOTS Where lies the land these liberals love? BILL COPE In a recent conversation about the upside-down surrealism to which grotesque buffoon Donald Trump has brought our nation, my friend said something to this effect: “You know, one good thing about this stuff with him [the grotesque buffoon] and the Russians: I’ve gotten over being embarrassed to say I love my country.” I knew exactly what she was talking about. It’s been a raw spot for myself and virtually every liberal I have known: We simply don’t do the, Hey, hey, what d’ya’ say? Don’tcha just love the U.S. of A! thing well. While others wave Barbie-sized flags and belt out “God Bless America,” we tend to shrink back, unsure of how to comport ourselves. For example: parades. I can’t speak for every American liberal, of course, but I’ve noticed we’re not so bigly on those hoo-rah spectacles where everything is bunted out in red, white and blue... where the organizers trot out a few veterans so that politicians can be seen thanking them profusely for their service (in lieu of actually delivering on the promises that were made to them)... where the country’s grand gestures are celebrated and the grody details are conveniently unmentioned... those kind of parades don’t, as a general rule, draw a lot of liberals. Or “God and Country” rallies: You don’t (as a general rule) catch many of us at those events, either. Too much bragging, too much swagger, too much self-righteousness and too many white people patting their own backs for achievements in which they had no part. Again, I am not the voice of American liberalism, but I feel it’s safe to say we don’t hang the flag out front anywhere near as often as not-soliberal people do. It’s not that we have anything against Old Glory—at least, as long as it’s not being used as a propaganda tool to proselytize for crap wars and general chicanery. If you’re like me, you can’t help but feel that if you’ve seen one flag (or Independence Day parade, or fireworks display), you’ve pretty much seen ‘em all. This reticence to hoot and holler over how great our nation is—plus our proclivity to do whatever hooting and hollering we’re apt to do when the nation is not acting so great—has taken its toll on our credentials as true-blue patriots. The Right considers us the turds in the American exceptionalism punchbowl—if only we’d shut our disloyal mouths, just imagine how smugly proud the country could be. Yet, in spite of what conservatives believe (as is nearly always the case), our love of America is as complete—and far more thoughtful—as that bunch who are never seen in public without flag pins on their lapels. We just love different aspects of it, and it must be said we are all fortunate to BOISE WEEKLY.COM

be citizens of a cultural smorgasbord so broad, so diverse, so multifaceted, that for even the stoniest of hearts, there is something here to melt it. For example, I love the heritage bequeathed to us by people who turned centuries of American slavery, abuse, injustice and struggle into the most exciting and expressive art form of the last 100 years. I consider jazz to be among the most satisfying legacies of the American story—and it could have been born in no other country. But for those who would dictate what the standards for national devotion should be, it’s unlikely they would ever accept a love for jazz—or much else in popular culture—as a valid expression of patriotism. As much as the Right professes to love the America of its fantasies, it hates with equal passion most of the Americana in its face. The Right also hates like hell the fact that what liberals love most intensely about America are those faltering steps the country and its people have taken—and until very recently continued to take—away from the ignorance, injustice and brutality that accompanied the nation’s origins. For instance, we love our public education system, no matter how much it might be improved. We love organized labor, even if it’s had its dark side (what hasn’t?). We love our voting rights, even if getting them, and keeping them, is a continuing struggle. We love our freedom to speak our minds, even if many don’t like what we have to say. We love the actions our country has taken to clean the water, clear the air and ensure our progeny a sustainable world. We love this great confluence of ethnic rivers—that nowhere else in the known universe have so many diverse cultures blended with so little conflict. (Relative to the Balkans, the rest of Europe, all of Asia, Africa and most of the Southern Hemisphere.) In short, while the Right loves a memory of what its members think America was, liberals love the promise of what we’ve seen America becoming. Yet, under the present regime, so much of that promise is under assault by men and women stunted by spite and encouraged by a foreign power that has held nothing but scorn for America and its egalitarian nature for the best part of a century. As evermore of this anti-hope, anti-transcendence, anti-American attack is exposed, the Left has had, like my friend (and myself), to think harder than it has had to in decades about what is at stake, and how desperately the country as a whole will miss it if the attack succeeds. As our devotion to our American vision strengthens, the Right grows increasingly hateful of everything we hold dear. BOISEweekly | AUGUST 2–8, 2017 | 5

Nearly 1,500 Idaho Power customers use net metering. That number is expected to grow.

An Ada County jury will decide the fate of one Idaho State Police whistleblower GEORGE PRENTICE

POWER GRAB? Idaho Power wants to make a dramatic change to its net metering service, altering how the utility manages and compensates customers who install solar panels. Reserved for home and business owners who have installed on-site power generation (primarily solar panels), the service allows participants to take advantage of a bidirectional service. In other words, customers enrolled in net metering enjoy the benefit of reduced reliance on the power grid and get money back for surplus energy they return to the grid through their own generation. To date, the number of Idaho Power customers who use net metering has been modest—1,468 as of June 30, 2017. Company officials, however, are projecting the number could swell to as many as 7,000 customers by 2021. “The most appropriate time for the [Idaho Public Utilities] Commission to begin to address cost shifting caused by the combination of net metering and current rate design is now,” wrote Idaho Power attorney Lisa Nordstrom to the PUC. Nordstrom’s letter was part of a 137-page filing asking the commission to create a new class for net metering customers, effective in 2018. Utility officials argue the benefits to net metering customers are responsible for “unfair cost shifting” to the detriment of customers who haven’t installed their own on-site generation. The Idaho Sierra Club chapter wasted no time pushing back, saying Idaho Power’s proposal “unfairly singles out solar customers.” “If [Idaho Power] wants to look at cost shifting, they need to take a much broader look at the issue rather than just focus on the tiny changes that net meterers may be making,” said Zack Waterman, Director of the Idaho Sierra Club. “Before we single out solar customers and cast uncertainty into the marketplace it’s in everyone’s interest to slow down.” The public will have plenty to say as well, including online comments accepted at the Idaho Public Utilities Commission website (reference: IPC-E-17-13). —George Prentice

The jury trial of Brandon Eller vs. Idaho State Police has all of the elements of a ripped-fromthe-headlines episode of Law and Order: a fatal crash, alleged orders to destroy investigative reports and charges of retribution stemming from some of ISP’s highest-ranking officers. Set to begin Monday, Aug. 14, in Idaho’s Fourth Judicial District Court, the case pits ISP Detective Eller against the agency he has served, and continues to serve, with distinction for two decades. Eller joined the state police force in 1997, rising through the ranks, becoming a master corporal and an ISP detective. He also helped create a ISP’s nationally recognized Crash Reconstruction Unit in 2004. In fact, Eller was the longest-serving member of the CRU and an award-winning policeman who, according to court records, went “above and beyond normal duty.” Things took a turn in 2012 when Eller said he was called a “disgruntled employee,” told to “soften opinions,” was denied a pay increase and relegated to working nights and weekend shifts. “When Brandon Eller first told me about an ISP directive to destroy draft reports, quite frankly, I didn’t believe it at first,” said attorney Erika Birch of Boise-based Strindberg & Scholnick, LLC, representing Eller. “Then I read the actual email of that directive. It’s just one of those things that seems too incredible.” Eller’s fallout with ISP began the night of Oct. 18, 2011, when Barry Johnson, 65, was about to turn his 1983 Jeep into the driveway of his home on a rural two-lane highway near New Plymouth. Suddenly, a vehicle driven by Payette County Sheriff’s Deputy Scott Sloan, responding to a 911 call and traveling at speeds over 100 miles per hour, tried to pass Johnson on the left. The deputy’s vehicle crashed into the driver’s side of the Jeep. Johnson was ejected and pronounced dead at the scene due to a massive head injury,. Because the fatality involved a Payette County Sheriff’s Deputy, ISP took over the investigation. The CRU team’s initial investigation indicated Sloan had made an unsafe pass without “due regard for the safety of all persons.” However, after the original CRU investigator met with two ISP superiors, the report was “revised,” allegedly to lessen the implication of error on the part of Sloan. Eller’s involvement in the investiga-

tion came 43 days after the crash, when he was assigned to interview Sloan. Payette County prosecutors charged Sloan with vehicular manslaughter, and when Eller was called as a key witnesses during an April 2012 preliminary hearing, much to the chagrin of ISP superiors, he testified that Sloane had been driving Oct. 10, 2011, “without due regard for the safety of all persons.” . “I can’t believe that the Idaho State Police is going to send a deputy to prison,” said ISP Lt. Colonel Kendrick Wills, upon hearing of Eller’s testimony. Another ISP officer—from inside the courtroom—sent a text message to headquarters stating that some of the testimony was throwing the agency “under the bus” and that Eller had “laid us out.” According to a deposition, a member of ISP command staff commented that, following his testimony, Eller would “be lucky to have [his] job working nights and weekends.” Eller said pressure from superiors increased when, in July 2013, an email sent from ISP Major Kevin Hudgen to all district captains directed that henceforth, “Crash Reconstruction Unit members will not keep draft copies of their reports in the official case file. As is current practice within ISP, those reports should be destroyed.” Eller immediately questioned the ethics of the directive, but was told “the directive was coming from headquarters,” and “working case files should be destroyed.” He later learned CRU investigation CDs had been destroyed, including reports of at least 30 fatal crashes investigated by the unit. Meanwhile, the case against Sloan was crumbling. In 2013—a year after Sloan was charged with Johnson’s death—the Payette County prosecutor’s office dropped the case, citing frustration over too many conflicting crash investigation reports coming from ISP. Sloan has since retired from law enforcement.

Eller’s professional life continued to deteriorate. In one performance review shortly after his courtroom testimony, Eller was accused of causing “dissention within the ranks” and that he “would be well served in the future by softening his opinions on confrontational matters.” In October 2013, Eller and other members of the CRU were informed the unit was being disbanded and they would return to regular duty shifts, including nights and weekends. In the years that followed, Eller said his request for a salary increase was denied without explanation. “It’s interesting to note that Brandon’s wife Kristi is also a police officer here in the Treasure Valley. We like to think law enforcement still draws the kind of people who have a strong sense of right and wrong and a high-level ethical compass,” Birch said. “Brandon and Kristi talk all the time about integrity and ethics with their two young kids, but it’s not just about the ethics of our personal lives; it’s our professional lives. They tell their kids that we all should expect every law enforcement officer to do the right thing—the ethical thing.” Eller’s personal and professional life will be on the line Aug. 14, when he faces his colleagues and superiors in an Ada County courtroom. This history-making trial will intersect with another bit of history: a total solar eclipse on Monday, Aug. 21. Attorneys representing Idaho State Police have asked the court to put the trial on a one-day hiatus, because according to attorneys, “every commissioned ISP officer will be out on the road” during the eclipse, so they won’t be available as witnesses. “We will get this trial done, one way or another,” Idaho Fourth Judicial District Court Nancy Baskin told attorneys during a July 31 pretrial hearing.

ART FOR THE ANIMALS This year, the annual Art for Animals fundraiser at Gallery 601 is taking a walk on the wild side. Proceeds from the popular auction, which in the past raised $10,000 for the Idaho Humane Society, will beneﬁt Zoo Boise critters and their wild counterparts by funding the zoo’s conservation mission. The zoo takes threats to endangered species seriously and in 2007, it became the ﬁrst zoo in the country to charge a conservation fee along with admission. The Gallery 601 auction—which takes place both online and in person—will contribute to that mission. The auction features framed and unframed animal-themed paintings, and stopping by has become a favorite tradition for animal lovers as they make their First Thursday rounds. Stop by the gallery for a look at the pieces and to chat with the “ZooTeens,” volunteer zookeepers-in-training who will be happy to answer your animal-related questions. 5 p.m., FREE. Gallery 601, 211 N. 10th St., 208-336-5899, gallery601.com.

Rub a dub dub.

PRINT BOISE 2017 It’s not every day that everyday people get to display their art at a gallery for the world to see. On First Thursday, though, Ming Studios is offering them that chance. The newest exhibition at Ming, Print Boise 2017, is a collection of “hand-pulled ink impressions” made by Boise citizens who participated in a series of public walking tours hosted this summer by Wingtip Press. The rubbings, which were inspired by the stories of architectural historian/tour guide Amy Pence-Brown, are all tied to Boise history and feature images of everything from sidewalks to downtown artifacts and classic architecture. Print Boise 2017 is an opportunity to see your city from a new and different perspective and also to check out work you might not otherwise see, which will probably leave a good (ahem) impression. 5 p.m., FREE. Ming Studios, 420 S. Sixth St., 208-972-9028, mingstudios.org.

SPECIAL SCREENING: BLOOD ROAD

RESTORED SURGEON’S QUARTERS OPEN HOUSE

This powerful documentary, showcased in Boise for the ﬁrst time Saturday, Aug. 5 at the Egyptian Theater, chronicles the journey of mountain biker Rebecca Rusch, nicknamed “The Queen of Pain” for her remarkable feats of endurance, as she travels her most painful road yet—through an ex-war zone and her own past. In 2015, Rusch and her guide, Huyen Nguyen, set off on their bikes for a trip that would take them 1,200 miles across Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam in search of the spot where Rusch’s father was killed when his plane went down during the Vietnam War. The path they followed was the Ho Chi Minh trail, or “Blood Road.” Filled with stunning scenery, deep cultural connections and real characters who are both vulnerable and strong, Blood Road promises to be a striking, must-see ﬁlm. 7 p.m.; $14. Egyptian Theatre, 700 W. Main St., 208-3871273, egyptiantheatre.net.

Thanks to Preservation Idaho, a host of donors and a team of archeologists, the long-vacant building will soon be used to support veterans once again.

A new view on the immigration debate.

AUTHOR ALI NOORANI: THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD Immigration is a polarizing topic at every level—from the dinner table to the halls of Congress. Author and National Immigration Forum Executive Director Ali Noorani is plunging into the fray with his new book There Goes The Neighborhood, an investigation of the roots of the immigration debate. According to the Rediscovered Books website, the book “reaches across the political spectrum to offer a new approach, one that confronts problems and pushes all parties outside of their comfort zone in order to reach solutions.” Noorani’s background as a ﬁrst-generation American has given him a unique perspective and a voice that, by the end of the book, offers hope to all involved. 7-8 p.m., FREE.

NAMAST-ALE: BEERGA BRINGS BEER AND YOGA TOGETHER As a relaxing tune played in the background, a room full of people held both glasses of beer and poses—waiting for the right moment to take a sip. The attendees of this aptly named “Beerga” class were enjoying the best of two worlds: drinking craft beer and doing yoga. Restaurant and brewery The Ram provided the suds and the space, while yoga instructor Juliana Thomsen made the fusion of beer and exercise possible. “I was trying to think about what I could do that could be different and interest people in a way that they normally wouldn’t be interested,” Thomsen said. “I love beer, and I just incorporated the beer into the poses.” Beerga is already popular in Northwest cities like Portland and Seattle, and Thomsen has been an instructor for a while. However, yoga has been a part of her life since she was a teenager, and Thomsen said it helped her through some tough times. “It changed my life and completely changed my perspective and outlook,” she said. Thomsen said people are sometimes intimidated by yoga poses and she hopes that by adding beer, they will be inBEERGA trigued and feel more conﬁdent Mondays, 5:30-7:30 p.m., $15. in their practice. The Ram, 709 Park Blvd., 208“It’s not about sticking your 345-2929, theram.com foot behind your head or touching your toes,” she said. “It’s about who you become.” Best friends and Boise locals Trisha Speck and Jenna Franklin joined Beerga classes as a way to loosen up in the evening and spend quality time together. They plan to become regulars in Thomsen’s class. Speck emphasized the importance of location and timing for the Beerga class, calling the greenbelt-adjacent brewpub the “perfect setting” for the class and Monday the best day to “reboot” for the upcoming week. Even though yoga can be difﬁcult, Speck said Beerga is the just the right combination of challenge and relaxation, with less pressure than an average workout class. “And then we can reward ourselves with beer,” she said. —Savannah Cardon BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Deep into the second act of Lady Macbeth—a cinematic deep-dive into the obsessions of a young woman whose real name isn’t Macbeth, nor is she any kind of lady—the lead character is in the throes of a torrid and often violent affair with a farmhand from her husband’s 19th-century rural England estate. “I shan’t be parted from you alive,” she whispers to her lover. “Through hell and high water, I will follow you. To the cross, to the prison, to the grave, to the sky. I’d rather stop you breathing than let you doubt how I feel.” Her words are passionate but also foreboding. Indeed, something wicked this way comes for the lovers. Ever since seeing Lady Macbeth, I can’t shake it, particularly the star-making lead perforDistressed damsel or devil?

BEERGUZZLER CAN IT FOR SUMMER If you’re trying to escape the Treasure Valley heat by heading for the hills or the water, bottled beer won’t do. Since it’s going to be on the warm side wherever you go, you probably want to take a pass on heavy stouts or porter. Here are three recent arrivals that pack a lot of flavor and a refreshing quaff into a can: BELCHING BEAVER DEFTONES PHANTOM BRIDE INDIA PALE ALE, $2.50-$3.20 This California IPA named for the classic Deftones song “Phantom Bride” sports a thin but persistent head over a cloudy straw pour. Soft, resiny hops and tropical fruit aromas dominate the nose. Compared to most Northwest IPAs, the hops are subdued with a light but lovely bitterness playing against biscuit, pineapple and grapefruit flavors. This is just my style. FIRESTONE WALKER AND BEAVERTOWN WEST SIDE BEAVO, $1.80-$2.10 A pillowy, three-finger head tops this collaborative effort from a California and English brewery. Billed as an India Pale Lager, you definitely get the IP side on the nose with its spicy hops and fresh grass aromas. Lively fruit flavors dominate the palate with mango, orange, papaya and bright citrus. Light hops come through on the finish. OCCIDENTAL PILSNER, $2.80-$3.20 A transparent light gold in color, this pilsner from Portland, Oregon, is topped by a surprisingly thick head that fades quickly. It has the characteristic earthy grass nose of a lager with a nice hit of bread dough and hops. The clean, crisp flavors are a balanced mix of soft malt and lightly bitter hops. It’s a nice homage to the European pilsner style, with just a bit more hop bite on the finish.

Melissa Etheridge is rock ’n’ roll royalty, but she doesn’t rest on her laurels. Though she has been honored with Grammy, Juno and ASCAP awards—and even an Oscar—what she really loves to do is tour and perform. This summer, Etheridge is showcasing selections from her latest album, Memphis Rock and Soul (Stax, Oct. 2016), celebrating the songbook that emerged from Stax Records, the legendary Memphis studio where the Staple Singers, Otis Redding and B.B. King recorded classics. Prior to her Tuesday, Aug. 8 appearance at the Egyptian Theatre in Boise, Etheridge talked about her musical inspirations and how her tour allows her a unique perspective on the current political and cultural climate. “Boise always loves its rock and roll,” she told us. “It’s always a good time.” You’ve enjoyed three decades of success, plus a bounty of awards and honors. What excites you lately? What inspires you? Playing music. For the last ten years in particular, I’ve been working on my guitar playing, becoming a better player, pushing more of my music to the edge of rock and roll and blues. That led me to my last album, Memphis Rock and Soul. I really am on a journey of understanding rock and roll and its place in the world right now. I really want to dive into how exciting live music really is. Can I assume your political activism informs your art? I’m an LGBT activist because I’m an LGBT person. When I think about health or the environment, it’s because I went through breast cancer. All of these things come from my own personal experience, so yeah, that’s a big part of me and a big part of my music, and my music comes from a very personal place. You’re in a unique position in that you travel to every corner of this nation and, as a result, you get to check America’s pulse. Especially this summer. All across this amazing nation, I see people who care, but they’re a little afraid. I see people trying to overcome fear of “the other” or fear of change. But, I swear to you, when I look out on my audiences, I see people of all ages, colors, everything and it

shows me that this beautiful experiment that we call America has its ups and downs but is still rooted in equality. Yes, I see people saddened by a lot of the current rhetoric, but I still believe that all of this makes us all a little bit stronger. It’s kind of a big thought, yet it’s something we can all hold on to. Let’s talk about the classics that exploded oﬀ your album, Memphis Rock and Soul, when I ﬁrst listened to you singing and playing the music of the Staples and Otis Redding. Yeah, one and one makes two. It was perfect. I’ve recorded thirteen albums of original songs and I have rock and roll classics of my own. But, I really wanted to show how rock and roll came from such gorgeous soul roots. Stax was this beautiful place of no race. It was completely interracial. You walked through the doors and it didn’t matter what color you were and this beautiful music came out. I find that very inspiring. Like you said, [with] the Staple Singers and Otis Redding, who I think was the greatest singer in the world, you get these songs that are so classic, and I want to do my best at paying tribute. They’re also some of the greatest vocal challenges, ever. You have a tremendous number of fans here. Can you share some memories of performing in Idaho? I think it was the first time I played Boise, and the guy in charge of the club had a noise level issue with the neighborhood. We didn’t understand why, but were told to keep our music at a certain level. The audience kept getting louder than the level, and the crowd kept asking me to turn it up, but I was told I would be fined thousands of dollars. Finally, I said, “You know what guys? I cannot not play this for you loud, so I’m just going to have to do this.” Did you let it rip? I said, “I’m probably not going to get paid tonight.” We let it rip. You shouldn’t have a noise issue when you play the Egyptian on Aug. 8. Looking forward to it. It’s going to be great. We’re pretty excited. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

DEAR MINERVA, Why do you think we, as people, have such a fascination with the macabre? —Hollaback Ghoul

DEAR HOLLABACK GHOUL, Quite simply, the macabre fascinates us because we all eventually have to face mortality. Dying is a part of living. We all know that. However, what happens after we die is an unknown. Sure, science can tell us what happens to an organism once death occurs—the actual physical changes that take place. We can observe decay and document the process. While fascinating, what it cannot tell us is what happens to the spirit, soul, energy, etc. we experience from a living being. It is provocative to think about what happens to those we have formed bonds with. We want to believe somehow that spirit lives on despite the decay of the physical form. The other curious thing about death is how illogical it can seem. Sometimes, it takes the ill and the aged, which seems in line with the natural order of things. Sometimes, it cuts down the young and the healthy. The seemingly unfair whim of death and the great unknown beyond is a source of anxiety, emotion and obsession. It is directly related to humankind’s search for meaning in this existence. Is death an ending or just a beginning? Is it a doorway into a different state of being? Death will always fascinate those who wonder about the magic of death and hope there is more to life than earthly toil and decay.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): In my astrological opinion, your life in the coming days should draw inspiration from the ancient Roman festival of Saturnalia, a six-day bout of revelry that encouraged everyone to indulge in pleasure, speak freely and give gifts. Your imminent future could (and I believe should) also have resemblances to the yearly Doo Dah Parade in Pasadena, Calif., which features a farcical cavalcade of lunatics like the Shopping Cart Drill Team, The Radioactive Chicken Heads, the Army of Toy Soldiers and the Men of Leisure Synchronized Nap Team. In other words, Aries, it’s an excellent time to set aside your dignity and put an emphasis on having uninhibited fun; to amuse yourself to the max as you experiment on the frontiers of self-expression; to be the person you would be if you had nothing to lose. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It’s time to Reinvent the Wheel and Rediscover Fire, Taurus. In my astrological opinion, you’ll be wasting your time unless you return to the root of all your Big Questions. Every important task will mandate you to consult your heart’s primal intelligence. So don’t mess around with trivial pleasures or transitory frustrations that won’t mean anything to you a year from now. Be a mature wild child in service to the core of your creative powers.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In The Futurist magazine, Christopher Wolf wrote the tradition of eating three hearty meals per day is fading and will eventually disappear. “Grazing” will be the operative term for how we get our fill, similar to the method used by cavemen and cavewomen. The first snack after we awaken, Wolf suggests, might be called “daystart.” The ensuing four could be dubbed “pulsebreak,” “humpmunch,” “holdmeal” and “evesnack.” In light of your current astrological omens, Gemini, I endorse a comparable approach to everything you do: not a few big doses but, rather, frequent smaller doses; not intense cramming but casual browsing; not sprawling heroic epics, but a series of amusing short stories. CANCER (June 21-July 22): The RIKEN Institute in Japan experiments with using ion beams to enhance plant growth. In one notable case, it created a new breed of cherry tree that blossoms four times a year and produces triple the amount of flowers. The blooms last longer, too, and the trees thrive under a wider range of temperatures. In the next 11 months, Cancerian, you won’t need to be flooded with ion beams to experience a similar phenomenon. I expect your power to bloom and flourish will be far stronger than usual.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Leo actor Robert De Niro once observed that most people devote more energy to concealing their emotions and longings than to revealing them. Is that true about you? If so, the coming weeks will be a favorable time to hide less of yourself and express more. There will be relatively little hell to pay as a result, and you’ll get a boost of vitality. Don’t go overboard, though. I’m not suggesting you unveil every last one of your feelings and yearnings to everyone—just to those you trust. Most important, I hope you will unveil all your feelings and yearnings to yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Before grapes become wine, they have to be cleaned. Then crushed. Then macerated and pressed. The next phase is fermentation, followed by filtering. The aging process, which brings the grapes’ transformation to completion, requires more time than the other steps. At the end, there’s one more stage: putting the wine in bottles. I’d like to compare the grapes’ evolution to the story of your life since your last birthday. You are nearing the end of the aging phase. When that’s finished, I hope you put great care into the bottling. It’s as important as the other steps.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It has almost become a tradition: Each year at about this time, you seem to enjoy scaring the hell out of yourself—and often the heaven, too. These self-inflicted shocks have often had a beneficial side effect. They have served as rousing prompts for you to re-imagine the future. They have motivated and mobilized you. So, yes, there has been an apparent method in your madness—an upside to the uproar. What should we expect this time, my dear? A field trip to a crack house or a meth lab? Some fun and games in a pit of snakes? An excursion to the land of bad memories? I suggest something less melodramatic. How about, for example, a frolic with unruly allies in a future paradise that’s still a bit unorganized?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Are you gearing up to promote yourself and your services? In my astrological opinion, you should be. If so, you could put the following testimonial from me in your resume or advertisement: “[place your name here] is a poised overseer of nerve-wracking transitions and a canny scout who is skilled at tracking down scarce resources. He/she can help you acquire the information and enhancements you don’t quite have the power to get by yourself. When conditions are murky or perplexing, this plucky soul is enterprising and inventive.” SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your eyes are more powerful than you realize. If you were standing on

a mountaintop under a cloudless night sky with no moon, you could see a fire burning 50 miles away. Your imagination is also capable of feats that might surprise you. It can, for example, provide you with an expansive and objective view of your entire life history. I advise you to seek that boost now. Ask your imagination to give you a prolonged look at the big picture of where you have been and where you are going. I think it’s essential to your discovery of the key to the next chapter of your life story. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Love is your gritty but sacred duty. It’s your prickly prod, your expansive riddle, your curious joy and your demanding teacher. I’m talking about the whole gamut, Capricorn—from messy personal romantic love to lucid unconditional spiritual love; from asking smartly for what you desire to gratefully giving more than you thought you had. Can you handle this much sweet, dark mystery? Can you grow your intimacy skills fast enough to keep up with the interesting challenges? I think you can. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There’s an eclipse of the moon coming up in the sign of Aquarius. Will it bring bad luck or good luck? Ha! That’s a trick question. I threw it in to see if you have been learning anything from my efforts to redeem astrology’s reputa-

tion. Although some misinformed people regard my chosen field as a superstitious pseudo-science, I say it’s an imaginative art form that helps us identify and transform our subconscious patterns. So the wise answer to my earlier question is that the imminent lunar eclipse is neither bad luck nor good luck. Rather, it tells you that have more power than usual to: 1. tame and manage the disruptive and destructive aspects of your instinctual nature; 2. make progress in dissolving your old conditioning; 3. become more skilled at mothering yourself. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): August is Good Hard Labor Month for you Pisceans. It’s one of those rare times when a smart version of workaholic behavior might actually make sense. Why? First of all, it could ultimately lead to a pay raise or new perks. Secondly, it may bring to light certain truths about your job that you’ve been unconscious of. Third, it could awaken you to the fact that you haven’t been trying as hard as you could to fulfill one of your long-term dreams; it might expand your capacity to devote yourself passionately to the epic tasks that matter most. For your homework, please meditate on this thought: Summoning your peak effort in the little things will mobilize your peak effort for the Big Thing.
