EDITOR’S NOTE ANTI-RACISM From before the Civil War to Charlottesville, from Virginia to Idaho, racism in the United States has been allowed to flourish. We cannot let it keep growing unchecked. Like the men and women quoted below, who worked/work to end racism in America, it’s work we must continue to do.

Race, I’ve learned, is in the eye of the beholder.” —Raquel Cepeda “In a racist society it is not enough to be non-racist, we must be anti-racist.” —Angela Y. Davis “The answer to racism is eracism.” ”—Louis Gossett, Jr. “Somewhere we must come to see that human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability.”—Martin Luther King, Jr. “In this country American means white.

NEWS CRATERS OF THE MOOOON

Vice President Mike Pence is the head of a presidential commission seeking voter information.

A PRESIDENTIAL COMMISSION REQUESTED SENSITIVE INFO ON IDAHO VOTERS One of President Donald Trump’s favorite campaign riddles was the election itself: Winning would mean beating the odds, but losing would be proof the system had been rigged against him. Tweeting days after besting Hillary Clinton in the Electoral College, he wrote, “I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally.”

Trump never backed up the claim, and experts, political operators and fact-checkers had a field day. His tweet may not have resonated with the press, but College of Idaho Political Economy Professor Jasper LiCalzi said it likely did with his election-skeptic supporters.

“If he’s going to say there are [voting irregularities], he needs to do something about it,” LiCalzi said.

Trump took action in May, establishing the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity—aka the Pence-Kobach Commission— which is collecting voter data nationwide and will report on the policies and practices that “enhance or undermine the American people’s confidence in the integrity of federal elections processes.” It lodged a request for information about every registered Idaho voter in June that is raising the eyebrows of Ada County Chief Deputy Clerk Phil McGrane, who runs elections in the largest county in Idaho.

“I’m confident they’re looking for crosschecking,” McGrane said. “I don’t think this manner is the means to be able to do it.”

The commission has not tipped what it will do with the data, but according to ProPublica, a nonprofit investigative journalism project, some national observers suspect it will cross-reference data from participating states to sniff out voter fraud. The process would likely be similar to a multi-state, anti-voter fraud effort called the Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck Program, which is fronted by the vice chair of the commission, Kris Kobach, who is also the secretary of state in Kansas. Idaho will participate in the Crosscheck Program in 2017.

Crosscheck scans names, dates of birth and other factors from the voter rolls of participating states, and deletes registrations it deems redundant or fraudulent. Its supporters say it fills a need for a nationwide system 7 to sniff out illegal voting. Detractors say it’s an attempt to deprive people of 6 | AUGUST 23–29, 2017 | BOISEweekly

New BLM grazing decision falls flat, further dividing ranchers and environmentalists LE X NEL SON

Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve is one of the most wacky and wonderful places in Idaho. Each year, more than 200,000 visitors explore its sci-fi moonscape of black lava fields, craters and spatter cones, but they often miss the huge herds of cows grazing on sagebrush flats nearby. Since 1931, Craters has been open for grazing, requiring state and national agencies to balance socioeconomic and environmental interests. For ranchers, the policy provides job security, while for environmentalists it raises concerns about water quality, geologic degradation and diminishing habitat for native species—particularly the once-endangered sage grouse.

The latest chapter in this long-running conflict ended Aug. 9, when the Bureau of Land Management announced final alterations to the amount of grazing in the park, a revision sparked by a 2008 lawsuit over sage grouse protections and violations of the National Environmental Policy and Federal Land Policy and Management acts.

Some concessions were made for the sake of sage grouse, but the decision largely favored ranchers: The number of cows and sheep allowed in the park will fall by only 1 percent.

According to the BLM Record of Decision, 273,600 of the 275,100 BLM-managed acres—roughly one-third of the monument, which is otherwise managed by the National Park Service—will remain open to livestock, and cuts were due mainly to boundary restructuring rather than anti-cattle sentiment.

The ROD marks a small victory in what John Thompson, director of public relations for the Idaho Farm Bureau Federation office in Pocatello, described as an uphill battle against conservationists and recreators—two groups he blames for a significant drop in Idaho grazing land.

“The long-term trend, not just [at Craters] but all across the state, is that we’re turning less animals out on public land all the time,” said Thompson. “It’s been significant loss. In 1976, there were 30,000 cattle on the range in [Custer] county, today there’s about half that, and that’s pretty typical of across the state.”

Thompson worries the loss of grazing land, estimated by the BLM at 34 percent, could lead to a dwindling of knowledge about the food supply

and put irreplaceable ranches out of business.

“A livestock operator goes out of business, and he either has to retire and sell, or go find a job in town doing something else,” Thompson said.

“The capital investment to start a farm or ranch is incredible; it’s a huge amount of money, and you just don’t see the startups,” Thompson said.

There are two sides to the ROD coin, though.

Conservation-focused nonprofit Western Watershed Project opposed the original BLM grazing plan in court and is far from happy with the new decision. WWP claims the revised sage grouse protections won’t offset harm caused by livestock, that the BLM is still violating the law by refusing to treat conservation as the primary use of the preserve, and that Craters should be exempt from typical FLPMA rules.

On its website, WWP claims livestock grazing is an abuse of public lands, harming them through “reduced water quality, increased soil erosion, reduced plant diversity, exotic plant invasions, reduced wildlife habitat” and more.

“Our thought on the new plan is that it’s very disappointing,” said WWP Senior Staff Attorney Kristin Ruether. “BLM changed very little from the 2007 plan we had challenged—they didn’t change anything substantive. Most importantly, they didn’t reconsider the fundamental question of whether commercial livestock grazing is an appropriate use for our unique national monument ...We should be managing this unique monument for wildlife, not for cattle.”

In response to Ruether’s comment, BLM Planning and Environmental Coordinator Lisa Cresswell cited tradition.

“When the [Clinton-era] proclamation that expanded [Craters] to include all of this BLM land was signed, it specifically said that livestock grazing could continue,” Cresswell said. “It’s one of the traditional historic uses, and it’s going to

be allowed to remain.”

Ruether was also frustrated that the ROD largely outlines intentions rather than specific goals. For example, it includes promises to “minimize” the impact of construction on native species, focus grazing on invasive plants “where possible,” and continue to study the effects of livestock to “develop specific management objectives” that remain undefined. WWP views these as steps in the right direction, but Ruether worries the statements aren’t strong enough to be binding.

“When something is vague, it becomes hard to enforce,” she said. “So who knows if it will even get done.”

Environmentalists did rack up one win: Grazing patterns will be subject to change March 15-June 15 to keep livestock away from grounds where sage grouse are breeding. The cultural integrity of the monument will also be better protected, as new livestock-related infrastructure will be located farther from lava edges and playas.

“We studied various alternatives, including ones that reduced grazing by three-quarters or one-half of current rates, or eliminated grazing altogether,” BLM Twin Falls District Manager Michael Courtney stated in a news release. “We found that we could manage sagebrush landscapes just as effectively with small adjustments to grazing levels.”

Still, Reuther doubts it will be possible to adequately protect sage grouse with 99 percent of livestock still grazing.

“They maintained the levels of grazing that were already there,” she said. “It’s not much of a compromise at all.”

WWP has already filed a protest with the BLM detailing its ROD woes. In the document, WWP accuses the bureau of 7 showing favoritism toward ranchers and tourists, claiming BLM “conformed with BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Libertarian intellectual and provocateur Charles Murray on his upcoming Boise visit

NEWS

AMERICAN ENTERPRISE INSTITUTE

ONE HOT POTATO HARRISON BERRY

The Idaho Freedom Foundation calls Dr. Charles Murray a “revered” and “venerable” scholar. The Southern Poverty Law Center calls him a “white nationalist.” When someone told Riverside Hotel co-owner Linda Johnson that Murray was the keynote speaker for the Saturday, Aug. 26, IFF Faces of Freedom Banquet being held at the Riverside, she did some research. Johnson then told IFF that, despite its long-standing reservation, the Riverside would not host the event, citing a responsibility for the safety of employees and guests in light of possible protests.

“We support diversity in our community. We have a diverse workforce. We are a family company. We have people enjoying our hotel who are families. It’s no place for that kind of an event,” Johnson said.

Murray has been a hot potato since the 1994 publication of The Bell Curve, which he co-wrote with Richard Herrnstein. In it, Murray argues African-Americans statistically get lower scores on IQ tests than white Americans, and that intelligence is a driving factor in political, social and economic inequality as America sorts by cognitive ability. Racial disparities in IQ scores were tempered when adjusted for environmental factors.

Criticism of the book was immediate, lasting and has largely gravitated toward the question of whether, or how, the work is racist. One early review in The New York Review of Books criticized

Dr. Charles Murray will speak in Eagle at Chateau des Fleurs Saturday, Aug. 26.

its use of sources connected with extreme-right think tanks and South African Apartheid. Another, published in July in Current Affairs, argues the book “attempt[s] to attribute black-white economic differences to factors intrinsic to black people” [author’s emphasis].

Murray told Boise Weekly he is “sick unto death” of some aspects of defending his work and touched on current events. He said there were some parallels between his experience and that of James Damore, the Google engineer who authored “Google’s Ideological Echo Chamber,” which outlined biological differences between the sexes that may account for gender disparities in the technology industry. Damore was fired over the memo, which was allegedly a violation of the Google code of conduct.

the letter, but not the spirit, of cooperating with the public” when it weighed the merit of comments collected during the scoping period.

“It seems that the only ‘public’ that sway the agency are special interest groups concerned with preserving their own access and recreation,” WWP wrote, “and not conservation groups advocating for species’ and ecosystem protection.”

Thompson dismissed WWP concerns about both the BLM and the negative impact of livestock on sage grouse as “unfounded,” claiming WWP cherry-picked facts to support its position with the intent of stirring up trouble. According to Thompson, grazing might actually help sage grouse.

“Livestock grazing is not a primary threat to sage grouse habitat—fire and invasive species are,” BLM Public Affairs Specialist Heather Tiel-Nelson said. She added that by disturbing grasses, grazers can actually help native sagebrush regain a foothold.

In turn, WWP points to scientific studies regarding the negative impact of grazing on sage grouse habitat and, on its website, states agency decisions are often the result of “political interference” by interest groups, and “BLM and Forest Service staff and conservationists continue to be subjected to 6

“To fire a person for writing a thing like that is pandering to a mob,” Murray said.

Some of the themes of his work have played out politically. In early August, President Donald Trump backed a proposal that would cut immigration into the U.S. nearly in half by limiting the ability of American citizens and legal residents to bring their families into the country—all while keeping the number of immigrants who receive legal residency for their job skills stable at approximately 140,000.

Murray said he supports immigration into the U.S. by high-skill applicants—”Give ‘em all green cards, as far as I’m concerned,” he said—but he also claimed the proposal could raise the value of low-skill labor, driving up wages and workforce participation for native-born Americans. Still, he said he has “sympathy” for Idaho agriculture and dairy organizations that have called for immigration reform, citing labor shortages.

“There’s something that makes me a little queasy about supporting a policy that benefits me, [which] I know very well exacts a price on other people, and that’s what I think the elites have been doing in their permissive attitude toward low-skill immigration,” he said.

Murray’s ideas and reputation have sometimes been met with violence. During a March 2017 interview engagement at Middlebury College, protests against Murray on campus escalated dangerously, resulting in injuries. The incident and the safety concerns it raised are why the Riverside Hotel closed its doors to the IFF banquet.

The event has since been moved to Chateau des Fleurs, where one of the owners, Roshan Roghani-Ishaq, said she was unaware of the controversy surrounding Murray and has received heated public response in regards to the banquet.

She and Chateau des Fleurs are moving forward with the event anyway.

“In the face of [the public response to the event], you try to bring people together,” Roghani-Ishaq said.

psychological and physical intimidation in the field.”

Both WWP and the IFBF claim to have science on their side, yet they are diametrically opposed.

“It’s just a game, you know?” Thompson said. “In the end, all we’re talking about is a few cows and sheep out there eating the grass.”

For its part, BLM cited research it conducted following the 2008 WWP lawsuit as the basis for its ROD. Tiel-Nelson said her organization tries to balance all interests—including those of conservation groups like WWP. “We are a multi-use agency,” she said. “That’s the beauty and the challenge of our mission. We manage for conservation of our precious resources as well as uses—everything from livestock grazing to oil and gas development.”

For WWP, the management abilities of the BLM have fallen short once again. WWP wants the agency to revise its plan a final time in order to limit “the undue, unnecessary, irretrievable and irreversible, direct, indirect and cumulative” impacts of grazing—a request doomed to fail unless ongoing BLM studies convince the agency it’s necessary. In the meantime, cows and sheep will continue to graze among the lava flows and sage grouse.

Idaho Secretary of State Lawerence Denney said he will protect the private information of Idaho

the right to vote. A 2016 study found Crosscheck deleted 200 registrations used to cast legitimate ballots for every registration used to cast a double ballot— disenfranchising voters living in separate states because they shared pieces of personal information.

“The risk, then, is unintentionally disenfranchising somebody..., which is why some of the protected information is being requested [by the Pence-Kobach Commission],” McGrane said.

The voter roll is the bulk of the request by the commission. It includes the full names, ages, genders, telephone numbers, party affiliations of voters and more. That information is publicly available.

Other materials included in the request are more sensitive. Of the 12 items asked for by the commission, six are not applicable to Idaho election data collection, like felony conviction information and voter history. Two are not public information: the last four digits of the Social Security numbers and dates of birth of registered voters. Idaho Secretary of State Lawerence Denney wrote in a statement he would protect “an absolutely private ballot” in Idaho.

National groups including Electronic Privacy Information Center filed suit after learning the contents of the Pence-Kobach Commission requests. The Idaho Democratic Party filed suit July 11 on the grounds that the commission was ineligible to request voter roll data. One IDP staffer said the party also had concerns about how a database of voter information might be used by the White House.

“I feel like it’s every fear of even Republicans in the [Idaho] legislature,” said IDP Media & Digital Director Shelby Scott.

The IDP suit was taken out at the knees.

On July 10, the day before the party filed, the commission asked Denney to delay its request as part of a separate lawsuit with the Electronic Privacy Information Center, wiping out the grounds for IDP to sue. Days later, the commission renewed its request for records.

To receive any voter data, the commission will have to do more than write a letter to Denney. According to State Elections Director Betsie Kimbrough, the Pence-Kobach Commission had yet to formally file a public records request as of Aug. 17.

“Until we get that, we will not be sending any data to them,” Kimbrough said.

JOAN JETT AND THE BLACKHEARTS, AUG. 24, EXPO IDAHO Joan Jett’s throaty rock ’n’ roll is a classic that never gets old.

Now deep into her fourth decade of performing, Jett’s sound has remained essentially the same as what she cranked out in 1981 on her debut album, Bad Reputation (Boardwalk)—if anything, her voice has improved with time.

When she makes her appearance Thursday, Aug. 24 at the Western Idaho Fair, Jett will be promoting her 12th studio album, Unvarnished (Blackheart, 2013)—an achievement backed by her eight platinum and gold albums, nine top 40 singles and status as a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer.

If you’re already paying for the fair, this concert is your oncein-a-lifetime (free) chance to see the star who brought you “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll.”

BEERGUZZLER MODERN TIMES

LOMALAND, $2.59— $2.99 Billed as a bright, rustic saison, it’s a hazy, straw-colored pour with a rich head. The characteristic funky, peppery clove aroma of Belgian yeast comes through, along with wet straw, lemon drop and a soft hit of hops. There’s a smooth hop profile on the palate with just a hint of sour citrus, making this one an easy drinking, intro-level saison.

FORTUNATE ISLANDS, $2.89—$3.39 They call this a pale ale, but it leans more toward the IPA style. It’s a cloudy amber in the glass topped by a thick persistent head. Big, pine-laced hop aromas are backed by mango, citrus and cracked wheat. Lightly sweet malt and soft hop bitterness balance crisp tropical fruit flavors, and it’s a great choice for the waning days of summer.

BLAZING WORLD, $2.89—$3.39 The two-finger head covering this crystalclear, dark amber brew collapses slowly, leaving a nice lacing. Dark hop aromas are a mix of fruity and resinous, playing against toasted malt and toffee. This is a wellintegrated brew offering layers of hop bitterness, with a creamy caramel malt component, tropical fruit and a touch of dark chocolate. Even at 6.8 percent alcohol, it’s surprisingly sessionable.

REC

COURTESY BOGUS BASIN

Founded in 1913, Modern Times Beer—a small-production, San Diego-based brewery—is named for a 19th century socialist commune founded on Long Island, New York. With a group of like-minded friends, Jacob McKean (formerly with Stone Brewing) set out to create sessionable beers from a mashup of different styles.

The brews just landed in the Treasure Valley, and the trio I tasted were true to McKean and company’s goal. All three come in pint cans.

IT’S THE TIME OF THE SEASON FOR EVERYTHING Bogus Basin plans to become a year-round recreation hotspot SOPHIA ANGLE TON The founders of Bogus Basin have long dreamed of making the mountain a yearround recreation area, with amenities like pools and golfing for the warmer months. 75 years later, their dream is finally beginning to come true. More than 3,000 people visited Bogus on July 1 to check out summer installations that include a climbing wall, mountain bike skills park, bungee trampoline, tubing slides and a gem-panning station.

“What we believe we are doing now is ensuring our future for the next 75 years,” said Bogus Basin Director of Development Susan Saad.

Summer recreation at Bogus was previously limited to a network of trails for hikers, bikers and some horseback riding. The hope is for the newly unveiled summer activities to be additional revenue sources that will offset losses incurred in a bad snow year.

“Our vision for the future is really about taking 100 percent of the dependence off the winter and creating a more year-round recreation area,” said Bogus Basin General Manager Brad Wilson.

Bogus has suffered four difficult seasons with little snowfall in recent years. The hill closed early in the 2014-15 season when it didn’t snow between Christmas and March 15.

The light snowfall, combined with stagnant season pass sales, created a bleak financial outlook for the nonprofit ski hill.

“Our prices had hovered at around that $199 season pass price for about 18 years. The number of people coming up skiing remained about the same, and our prices remained about the same, but the expense went up,” said Saad. “We were really increasingly struggling to make ends meet.”

The Bogus Basin board of directors came together in fall 2015 and decided to take action. Board members hired Wilson, raised pass prices and retained SE Consulting Group

The Alpine Mountain Coaster will turn—and twist—around the perception of Bogus Basin as a winter-only spot.

to conduct a feasibility study on different options to keep the mountain viable. The board adopted a 10-year master plan in July 2016 that included $20 million in investments on the mountain.

The first part of the plan is already in action with the new summer installations, but there is more to come with an aerial challenge course next summer, and the Alpine Mountain Coaster and a 12,000-square-foot winterized patio set to finish at the end of this one. Following construction, snow-makers will be installed on the front side of the mountain. Finally, Bogus will implement facility and amenity upgrades, including a new high-speed chairlift, beginner ski area and lodge renovations.

“We believe this plan will assure our future by adding new revenue in the summer, and the snow-making [will] ensure we can always open at the same time every year,” said Saad.

“The other upgrades will help to improve experience, especially as we try to attract new wintertime users to the area.”

Not having snow for a winter break opening means losing between 25 to 30 percent of winter operating revenue, according to Saad.

Bogus has determined there is enough runoff to use for snow-making, but the process of collecting it for use is still in the works.

“To have snow-making so we can assure an opening by mid-December really helps stabilize the season,” Saad said.

In the meantime, the addition of the summer activities is creating new revenue that will pay for future development—a trend that has been active around the country for the past 10-15 years, said Wilson, who helped install similar summer attractions in Lake Tahoe.

Unlike a lot of other ski hills, Bogus is not a resort, but a nonprofit ski recreation area— the largest of its kind.

“We don’t have the deep resources some of the larger resorts have,” said Saad.

Bogus Basin hopes to self-fund most improvements from increased revenue, but will look to the community for funding after that.

“I think it’s always important to remind everyone that it is a nonprofit community treasure,” said Saad. “We are working hard to put in these things to engage more of our growing population and assure the future of Bogus Basin.”

SCREEN EXTRA MEMO TO THE ACADEMY OF TELEVISION ARTS AND SCIENCES: STAY RELEVANT With the Emmy Awards just a few weeks away—the show airs Sunday, Sept. 17 on CBS—and final ballots due Monday, Aug. 28, here are my two cents for Academy of Television Arts and Sciences members.

On more than a few occasions, the Academy has approached irrelevancy in its choices of who and what it has bestowed trophies upon: Everybody Loves Raymond over BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Arrested Development? Katherine Heigl (Grey’s Anatomy), John Ritter (Three’s Company), Lindsay Wagner (The Bionic Woman) and Burt Reynolds (Evening Shade)? Please.

And it’s mind-boggling to know The Wire, Roseanne, Oz and Buffy the Vampire Slayer were never even nominated for best series. For these reasons, I have a few suggestions listed below that might help the Academy members make the 2017 ceremony one to remember.

Drama Series: Better Call

Saul (AMC). This show is just as entertaining as its two-time Emmywinning predecessor Breaking Bad. Comedy Series: Atlanta (FX).

Either hand over an Emmy for the series or give an acting trophy to creator and star Donald Glover.

Bonus points for both.

Drama Actor: Matthew Rhys, and Drama Actress: Keri Russell for The Americans (FX). These are both long overdue.

Comedy Actor: Anthony Anderson for Black-ish (ABC)

Comedy Actress: Anyone but Julia Louis-Dreyfus. She’s amazing in Veep, but as a seven-time Emmy Award winner, she probably doesn’t even have shelf room for another trophy.

The game plan for making the first day of school, ‘the best day ever’ “Coach” is the perfect word to describe Sandy Winters, a superb athlete in her formative years, an athletic director in her early professional life and a principal at four Boise schools—most recently Capital High, where she uses core coaching axioms to this day.

In anticipation of launching another school year, Winters talked with BW about what it takes to helm Capital High School, which has been named one of the top 1,600 high schools in the U.S. by The Washington Post for seven years in a row.

sion, then you don’t get lost in the chaos. You have to remember your purpose.

Did an athletic scholarship have something to do with where you went to college?

Absolutely. I played [volleyball]at Boise State. I bleed blue and orange.

Can you allay the fears of the hundreds of 10th graders who will walk through your doors on Aug. 22?

You’ll only have one first day of high school, so last year, we decided when parents ask their 10th graders, “How was your first day of school?” their only response would be, “That was the most awesome day ever.” We had a total celebration.

We even called it, “Happy New Year.” The kids walked through a gauntlet, a radio station was there to broadcast—it was super exciting. It’s all about creating something meaningful to build a special bond. Yes, we got around to the rules the next day, but that first day? It was really dramatic.

Social media lit up with kids writing, “That was so awesome. Today was the best day ever.”

Did you parlay those skills after graduating?

I returned to eastern Idaho, where I grew up. I was a school teacher and coach in schools in both Idaho Falls and Pocatello.

What brought you to Boise?

In 1994, I was hired to teach physical education and health; plus, I was the head volleyball coach at Boise High. Three years later, I had the privilege to help open Timberline High, where I taught and coached volleyball. A couple of years later, I became Timberline’s athletic director.

Beginning in 2002, you began a decade-long tenure as an elementary school principal.

That’s right—at White Pine and Riverside.

Those were great years, because an elementary school principal eventually has to do everything: administration, bookkeeping, curriculum… everything.

It sounds a bit like coaching.

You know, when I first started out as a principal, I tried to do things differently, but I asked [myself ], “What am I doing?” I needed to follow the principles I’d learned as an athlete and coach.

When I stay true to those values, that’s when I can serve people best.

Next came two-years at Riverglen Junior High. Isn’t a middle school usually chaos?

It was great for me. It’s a huge transition period for kids. I think when you stay true to your pas18 | AUGUST 23–29, 2017 | BOISEweekly

You’ve been at Capital High for two years now. Talk to me about that community.

In large measure, it represents the city of Boise as a whole. We have kids who are in desperate need of support, and we have kids from some really affluent families who have all the support they need. Across all the demographics, our parents have a deep understanding that if you work hard and have goals, you’ll succeed at a high level.

How will you duplicate that this year?

We’ve been meeting with our student council, and they’ve got some amazing ideas. They said, “This has to be the best first day on the planet.”

I can’t believe you’re making me miss high school. I think I want to go to Capital.

I know. We’ll send pictures.

Is your daughter following in your footsteps?

Well, she has my height. She’s playing basketball in college.

At Boise State?

The University of Idaho.

What?

I know, I know. I still bleed blue and orange, but, yes, she’s a Vandal. I told them I wouldn’t sing the Vandal fight song until I signed her papers to go to U of I. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

DEAR MINERVA, My ex and I share equal custody of our children. We get along well for being divorced. If she needs me to take the kids a day or two early, I do. If it’s not my time with them and they need picked up, I do. On birthdays or Mother’s Day, I get her a gift from the kids and me. I take time off work to ensure the kids are getting to doctors’ appointments and activities, which is causing me financial strain. What irks me is she doesn’t reciprocate. I keep telling myself to stop being this flexible with her, but it’s hard for me to say no. I also feel like I have to answer to her when it comes to things that are none of her business in my personal life. What would you suggest?

Sincerely, Annoyed in Ada

DEAR ANNOYED IN ADA: Expectations mean nothing if the other person isn’t aware of them. The situation you are in is no longer about your relationship with her, but about what’s best for the children. From what you’ve written, you’re setting a great example for your children about responsibility. Draw a line in the sand about personal life stuff. You don’t have to answer to her about your personal life. You need only discuss things directly related to co-parenting. You can’t control how she’ll react, so you might want to enlist a professional mediator. You’ll not only have a “referee” but also have documentation of your agreements.

HOBO JARGON

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Welcome to Swami Moonflower’s Psychic Hygiene Hints. Ready for some mystical cleansing? Hint No. 1: To remove stains on your attitude, use a blend of chardonnay wine, tears from a cathartic crying session, and dew collected before dawn. Hint No. 2: To eliminate glitches in your love life, polish your erogenous zones with pomegranate juice while you visualize the goddess kissing your cheek. No. 3: To get rid of splotches on your halo, place angel food cake on your head for two minutes, then bury the cake in holy ground while chanting, “It’s not my fault! My evil twin’s a jerk!”

No. 4: To banish the imaginary monkey on your back, whip your shoulders with a long silk ribbon until the monkey runs away. No. 5: To purge negative money karma, burn a dollar bill in the flame of a green candle.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A reader named Kameel Hawa writes that he “prefers pleasure to leisure and leisure to luxury.” That list of priorities would be excellent for you to adopt during the coming weeks. My analysis of the astrological omens suggests that you will be the recipient of extra amounts of permission, relief, approval, and ease. I won’t be surprised if you come into possession of a fresh X-factor or wild card. In my opinion, to seek luxury would be a banal waste of such precious bless-

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

ings. You’ll get more health-giving benefits that will last longer if you cultivate simple enjoyments and restorative tranquility.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The coming weeks will be an excellent time to cruise past the houses where you grew up, the schools you used to attend, the hotspots where you and your old friends hung out, and the places where you first worked and had sex. In fact, I recommend a grand tour of your past. If you can’t literally visit the locations where you came of age, simply visualize them in detail. In your imagination, take a leisurely excursion through your life story. Why do I advise this exercise?

Because you can help activate your future potentials by reconnecting with your roots.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): One of my favorite Cancerian artists is Penny Arcade, a New York performance artist, actress, and playwright. In this horoscope, I offer a testimonial in which she articulates the spirit you’d be wise to cultivate in the coming weeks. She says, “I am the person I know best, inside out, the one who best understands my motivations, my struggles, my triumphs. Despite occasionally betraying my best interests to keep the peace, to achieve goals, or for the sake of beloved friendships, I astound myself by my appetite for life, my unwavering curiosity into

the human condition, my distrust of the status quo, my poetic soul and abiding love of beauty, my strength of character in the face of unfairness, and my optimism despite defeats and loss.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The Witwatersrand is a series of cliffs in South Africa. It encompasses 217 square miles. From this area, which is a tiny fraction of the Earth’s total land surface, humans have extracted 50 percent of all the gold ever mined. I regard this fact as an apt metaphor for you to meditate on in the next 12 months, Leo. If you’re alert, you will find your soul’s equivalent of Witwatersrand. What I mean is that you’ll have a golden opportunity to discover emotional and spiritual riches that will nurture your soul as it has rarely been nurtured.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): What I wish for you is a toasty coolness. I pray you will claim a messy gift. I want you to experience an empowering surrender and a calming climax. I very much hope, Virgo, you will finally see an obvious secret and capitalize on some unruly wisdom, and take an epic trip to an intimate turning point. I trust you’ll find a barrier that draws people together instead of keeping them apart. These wonders may sound paradoxical, yet they’re quite possible and exactly what you need.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Psychologist James Hansell stated his opinion of psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud: “He was wrong about so many things, but he was wrong in such interesting ways.

He pioneered a whole new way of looking at things.” That description should provide good raw material for you to consider as you play with your approach to life in the coming weeks, Libra. Being right won’t be half as important as being willing to gaze at the world from upsidedown, inside-out perspectives. So I urge you to put the emphasis on formulating experimental hypotheses, not on proving definitive theories. Be willing to ask naive questions and make educated guesses and escape your own certainties.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’re entering a phase of your astrological cycle when you’ll be likely to receive gifts at a higher rate than usual. Some gifts could be big, complex, and catalytic, though others may be subtle, cryptic, or even covert. While some may be useful, others could be problematic. So I want to make sure you know how important it is to be discerning about these offerings. You probably shouldn’t blindly accept all of them. For instance, don’t rashly accept a “blessing” that would indebt or obligate you to someone in ways that feel uncomfortable.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You are currently under the influence of astrological conditions that have led to dramatic boosts of self-esteem in laboratory rats.

To test the theory that this experimental evidence can be applied to humans, I authorize you to act like a charismatic egomaniac in the coming weeks. Just kidding! I lied about the lab rats, and I lied about you having the authorization to act like an egomaniac. Here are the true facts: The astrological omens suggest you can and should be a lyrical swaggerer and a sensitive swashbuckler.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I invite you to eliminate all of the following activities from your repertoire in the next three weeks: squabbling, hassling, feuding, confronting, scuffling, skirmishing, sparring, and brawling. Why is this my main message to you? Because the astrological omens tell me that everything important you need to accomplish will come from waging an intense crusade of peace, love, and understanding. The bickering and grappling stuff won’t help you achieve success even a little —and would probably undermine it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Stockbrokers in Pakistan grew desperate when the Karachi Stock Exchange went into a tailspin. In an effort to reverse the negative trend, they performed a ritual sacrifice of

ten goats in a parking lot. But their “magic” failed. Stocks continued to fade. Much later they recovered, but not in a timely manner that would suggest the sacrifice worked.

I urge you to avoid their approach to fixing problems, especially now.

Reliance on superstition and wishful thinking is guaranteed to keep you stuck. On the other hand, I’m happy to inform you that the coming weeks will be a highly favorable time to use disciplined research and rigorous logic to solve dilemmas.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In the coming days, maybe you could work some lines from the Biblical “Song of Solomon” into your intimate exchanges. The moment is ripe for such extravagance. Can you imagine saying things like, “Your lips are honey,” or “You are a fountain in the garden, a well of living waters?” In my opinion, it wouldn’t even be too extreme for you to murmur, “May I find the scent of your breath like apricots, and your whispers like spiced wine flowing smoothly to welcome my caresses.”

If those sentiments seem too flowery, you could pluck gems from Pablo Neruda’s love sonnets. How about this one: “I want to do with you what spring does to the cherry trees.” Here’s another: “I hunger for your sleek laugh and your hands the color of a furious harvest. I want to eat the sunbeams flaring in your beauty.”
