EDITOR’S NOTE THROUGH A DIFFERENT LENS By now, body cameras have been used by the Boise Police Department for about a year and a half. While there was plenty of community conversation in the summer of 2016 when the cameras were first turned on, there hasn’t been much debate since— until there was an officer-involved shooting, which resulted in the death of a man in the Boise Foothills. A Critical Incident Task Force investigation exonerated BPD in the fatal shooting, and as Boise Weekly Senior Staff Writer Harrison Berry reports on Page 6, footage of the March 18 fatal encounter from the body cams worn by the officers was a focal point of the probe. In more local news, you’ll find a recap on Page 6 of my visit with the family of Michael Casper, who would have turned 29 on Oct. 12. Casper was shot and killed near his Boise Bench apartment building during an officer-involved shooting in February 2015—prior to BPD body cams. “I would have given anything for them to be wearing body cameras on the night my son was killed,” Casper’s mother told me. In national news, Ann C. Richard, a former U.S. State Department official, expressed her growing concern about the spread of misinformation regarding refugees. I spoke to Richard preceding her visit to Boise as a guest of the Frank Church Conference at Boise State University on Monday, Oct. 23. Read more from Richard on Page 22. In music news, contributor Ben Schultz chatted with musician Nick Delffs about his new album Redesign and his Friday, Oct. 20 performance at The Olympic, co-headlining with Y La Bamba. Read more about Delffs and Redesign on Page 17. Last but not least, here’s an important reminder to join us Wednesday, Oct. 18 for our annual Boise Weekly Cover Art Auction, this year at El Korah Shrine. The auction starts at 6 p.m. sharp, but doors open at 5 p.m. so you can peruse art, enjoy hors d’oeuvres from Bonefish Grill and get a drink from the no-host bar. New this year, the $15 price of admission will go toward your winning bid and, as always, proceeds benefit the artists, the Boise Weekly Cover Auction Art Grant Program and our investigative journalism mission.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“
I AM A WITC H. AND I WILL HUNT WRONGDOERS. IN HOLLY WOOD, IN GOVERNMENT, IN BUSINES S . STOP HURTING US OR THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCE.” —Rose McGowan, who accused Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein of raping her, posting on Twitter
MAIL REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS The Trump administration is taking direct aim at birth control coverage for 62 million women, eliminating the guarantee for birth control coverage under the ACA. This is unacceptable and should be seen as a blatant attack on women’s health care. Nearly nine in 10 women of reproductive age will use contraception at some point in their lives, whether that is for family planning or other medical reasons. In fact, 58 percent of all women who use the pill rely on it, at least in part, for something other than pregnancy prevention, with examples being menstrual regulation, endometriosis, fibroids and polycystic ovarian syndrome— to just name a few. Birth control in 2017 should not be a controversial subject, but this administration thinks otherwise. Women deserve better and should not have to worry if their employer has religious or moral reasons to prevent them from receiving quality health care. This new rule under this
administration is about taking away women’s fundamental health care, plain and simple. Women are watching, and we are not amused in the slightest. —Kim R.W.
—Peter Rickards
WWJDAD OR WHAT WOULD JESUS DO ABOUT DACA? I would vote for DACA if in Congress. We do need border security for terrorists but in no way are DACA kids anything but a benefit to this country. Trump should not race bait and play with people’s future, causing harmful stress & family separation. I do believe in legal immigration but there is no need to punish innocent young people now, to make trump’s pointless political points. I challenge Simpson to pass DACA immediately so families now crying can feel safe in America and able to show up at work tomorrow. One Houston-area EMT who just worked seven days straight faces DACA deportation when Trump announced his plan.

Call it amnesty if you want, it is what Jesus would do. I might even offer Sessions amnesty for lying under oath about meetings with Russians in return for stopping this stupidity.
SWIMMING IN THE DEEP END OF THE FORCE POOL Regarding oil and gas drilling in Idaho, I wonder if most people realize that having a company drilling on their land can violate the terms of their mortgage. The mortgage company can call the homeowner’s note, meaning they have to pay the loan, in full, right now or lose their home. Drilling could cause property owners to become homeless. How can we allow this to happen? We cannot let the drilling companies keep this dirty little secret. If you are “force pooled” what is threatening to take place in Payette County right now, you can’t prevent the drilling on or at least under your property. This is a catastrophic catch 22. We need to let our local and state officials know now that we do not want to be put in this situation. Forced pooling needs to be stopped. Someone shouldn’t have to lose their home because of industry greed. integrityandaccountability.org/mortgages-handout.pdf —Maria Le BOISEweekly | OCTOBER 18–24, 2017 | 5

NEWS SCREEN SHOT
How body camera footage is changing investigations into police shootings HARRISON BERRY Michael Casper’s family placed roses and candles near the sight of his Feb. 2015 fatal shooting.
REMEMBERING MICHAEL CASPER Candles, balloons and music set the mood for Michael Casper’s 29th birthday Oct. 12. The only thing missing was Casper. Actually, he has missed his last three birthdays after he was shot and killed in a February 2015 armed standoff with Boise Police Department officers outside his Boise Bench apartment building. “He is supposed to be here with us today,” said Casper’s mother Fran Gough. “Most nights, I stay at home, just waiting for him to come home.” Gough has shed a lot of tears and struggled with what she said were “too many unanswered questions” surrounding the shooting. It triggered national headlines as one of multiple officer-related shootings happening across the U.S., but a Critical Incident Task Force investigation exonerated BPD, saying Casper’s actions “placed his neighbors and responding officers in extreme danger.” It was when Casper allegedly fired a shotgun from inside his Malad Street apartment that officers shot and killed him. “It’s too bad Boise police didn’t have body cameras back then,” said Gough, referring to the technology BPD began using in the summer of 2016. “I would have given anything for them to be wearing body cameras on the night my son was killed.” Casper’s family members are still mourning their loss, which is why they gathered at the intersection of Gourley and Malad streets Oct. 12. They tied a “Happy Birthday” balloon to a street sign, lit some candles, placed roses on the street and blasted the song “Simple Man” by Shinedown from a car radio. With the lyrics “Mama told me, when I was young / Take your time, don’t live too fast. / Troubles will come and they will pass,” hanging in the air, Gough said, “We’ll just keep celebrating his birthdays. He’ll never be forgotten.” —George Prentice 6 | OCTOBER 18–24, 2017 | BOISEweekly
In the body camera footage, a K9 police dog—a German shepherd—looked on expectantly as Boise Police Department Officer Chris Wirshing hollered at a man hidden in some nearby bushes, commanding him to show his hands to the surrounding officers. “There’s something in his hands—something in his hands!” Wirshing shouted. Shots crackled and the German shepherd danced on its leash as Wirshing drew his gun and fired several rounds. The incident started at approximately 8:15 a.m. on March 18, when Boise Police officers received a report that a man had displayed a handgun to a woman while chastising her about her off-leash dog in the Hulls Gulch section of the Boise Foothills. Police were at first unable to contact the man, but another report came in nearly an hour and a half later—this time of a man shooting a dog named Moses and pointing his gun at the dog’s owner. Based on a description of the suspect, police officers discovered him hiding in a cluster of shrubs. The man audibly refused commands to submit to arrest and adopted a shooting posture. A firefight ensued, leaving the suspect, Benjamin Barnes, fatally wounded. Since BPD rolled out body cameras in June 2016, they have played an important role as evidence in criminal inquiries. Blaine County Prosecutor Jim Thomas, who served as special prosecutor in the Hulls Gulch shooting, said body camera footage was a key piece of evidence in determining the “legal force in reaction to a deadly threat” posed by Barnes. Thomas’ findings were released to the public Sept. 22. “The body cam was one of the best things we had,” he said. “Those really helped in terms of identifying what the officers were doing and what they were saying at the time, and the types of responses that were going on.” In addition to other evidence like police reports and 911 calls, Thomas relied on footage to verify witness accounts and stitch together a timeline of the incident. It gave him a trail of evidence that began with a buildup of danger to the public and ended with Barnes refusing to come out of the bushes. “He started shooting, and we knew he was armed from other people and the shots fired on the dog—[officers] are going into this amped

up knowing they may encounter this,” Thomas said. “It made it a little less difficult to make the determination [not to charge officers in the shooting].” According to Boise Police Chief Bill Bones, body cams help train officers, act as a source of criminal evidence and ease the resolution of internal complaints. The footage generated of police shootings has so far offered insight into how well officers follow policy, and how and when to use “tactical approaches” versus de-escalation techniques. As a training tool, video also gives BPD officers examples of real-world scenarios experienced by their colleagues in the communities they serve. Though the Hulls Gulch shooting ended in the death of a man, footage of it will yield valuable information about how officers can protect the public and possibly reduce the likelihood of bloodshed in similar situations. “[That includes] everything from locating the subject to how [officers] approach somebody once they’ve been shot, and how we give them care at that point,” Bones said. Transparency has been part of how BPD envisions its use of body cameras from the beginning, and video has already been used to investigate allegations of police misconduct. Bones said he has shared video with members of the public who made allegations, saying “it creates a sense of accountability in a community, for citizens to know officers have those body cameras on [and] that officers themselves are holding to that standard of transparency.”
Not everyone agrees with how BPD has gone about achieving openness with the public. When the department announced Thomas had cleared officers of wrongdoing after the Hulls Gulch shooting, BPD released a cut of the incident—pulled from dozens of hours of footage—for television and online media use. Bones said it was a courtesy for news media, but ACLU-Idaho Executive Director Leo Morales said he is mistrustful of police departments offering pre-packaged body camera footage. “The ACLU definitely has issues with [the] government releasing certain edited video,” he said. “If the government is going to release video, it should release the incident in its entirety.” In the media-friendly video released by BPD and broadcast on several newscasts, officers can be heard coordinating their movements, and seen surrounding Barnes’ position and exchanging fire with him. Barnes is out of sight, obscured by bushes. Much of the rest of the video is available through a public records request, but it would entail a lengthy and expensive review by an attorney before it could be released, and contain violent or disturbing images. Bones said BPD isn’t hiding anything with the media cut, and will likely do it again in the event of future critical incidents. “We want to provide [video footage] to the public regardless of what light it shows us in,” he said. “We’re just trying to make that a little bit easier so the press doesn’t have to jump through so many hoops.” BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Nick Delffs heads for somewhere wild on his new album, Redesign

BEN SCHULTZ For the past few years, Nick Delffs has performed and released music as Death Songs, a name that came partially from a lifelong obsession with “the end.” “I think it’s something I’ve always wanted to talk about or find out more about,” the musician said. “Because I think it’s the most fascinating, mysterious concept that we have— the idea of us not being here or whatever it is.” But when Delffs, who fronted Portland, Oregon-based indie-rock group The Shaky Hands 2003-11, began working on his latest release, the moniker didn’t fit. It’s one reason why he titled his new album Redesign (Mama Bird Recording Co., 2017): to signal a break with his Death Songs material. The album title also reflects Delffs’ interest in Eastern religions and philosophies, which he started learning about “kind of out of survival; to avoid anxiety and just to exist in the world. Like, ‘Okay, I need to know about reincarnation. Whether I believe in it or not, just know about this other idea. There’s got to be a fucking other idea than nothingness.’” That seeking spirit lies at the heart of Redesign. Willamette Week called Delffs first release under his own name “a subdued effort of gorgeously opaque songs suggesting the maturation of a one-time scene kid in an astute songwriter.” That maturation should be clear when Delffs celebrates the release of Redesign at the Olympic on Friday, Oct. 20, with Portland indie-folk-pop act Y La Bamba co-headlining, and local folk musician Bijouxx opening. On Redesign, Delffs infuses his distinctive blend of indie-rock, folk and other genres with a warmth and buoyancy that his earlier recordings lack. Some of the lively grooves are especially surprising, considering Delffs played all the parts himself, with Ali Clarys (Tiburones, Death Songs) and Luz Elena Mendoza (Y La Bamba) providing backing vocals. BOISE WEEKLY.COM
Nick Delffs may look restful, but he’s probably contemplating the meaning of life.
He was inspired by multi-instrumentalists he noted touches of The Kinks, Latin music and African polyrhythms in his review of Death Songs’ listened to as a boy, like Stevie Wonder, Prince self-titled EP (Post-Consumer, 2011). and Paul McCartney. Despite Delffs’ wide-ranging tastes, the “I remember learning about that pretty young biggest influence on Redesign isn’t another band and being like, ‘What? Stevie played drums on or music genre—it’s Delffs young son, whom that? He played the drums on this song?’ I just thought that was so cool—that those guys could he sings about on the charming folk-pop tune “Song for Aja.” be so proficient. And I’m not claiming to be as “There are people who really cut through good as them or be as proficient as them, but it and just say things, and I think having a kid has was a kind of eye-opening thing.” really helped me do that—like, the way I speak For his vocals, Delffs drew inspiration from to him,” Delffs said. “I spend most of my time another unexpected source: Michael Jackson. “He does a lot of breath kind of stuff,” Delffs with him. You know, you’ve got to be really direct. ...There’s this balance of, ‘Yeah, there’s explained, “and he’s very percussive with his all these amazing things in the world,’ but I vocals. I remember that was super-exciting and try not to shelter him or give the nothing I’d ever heard.” impression that this world is this Delffs was exposed to Nick Delffs (album release) completely wonderful thing.” even more music growing up. and Y La Bamba With Bijouxxx The world certainly doesn’t His father played fingerstyle seem completely wonderful on Reguitar and introduced him to Friday, Oct. 20, 7 p.m., $10 adv., $12 door.

MUSIC GUIDE
Y LA BAMBA, OCT. 20, THE OLYMPIC The Portland, Oregon-based band Y La Bamba—a rotating collective of musicians with singer/guitarist Luz Elena Mendoza as its permanent core—produces a haunting, Latin-fusion sound that, once heard, is difficult to forget. From its name to the melodic, dual-language tracks it produces, Y La Bamba chronicles Mendoza’s search for (and celebration of) her Mexican heritage and identity. “I am thankful for all of my hardships,” Mendoza writes in the liner notes of the band’s fifth and most recent studio album, Ojos Del Sol (Tender Loving Empire, 2016). “They have guided me to find rest in my soul, time after time. Over and over again.” On Friday, Oct. 20, that soul-searching will bring Mendoza and Y La Bamba to The Olympic for a show with co-headliner Nick Delffs, who is celebrating the release of his new album (see Page 17 for more on Delffs). It promises to be a night of primal, controlled magic. —Lex Nelson Nick Delffs, and Bijouxx. 7 p.m.-11:30 p.m., $10. The Olympic Venue, 1009 W. Main St., 208-342-0176, theolympicboise.com.

SILVERSUN PICKUPS, OCT. 24, REVOLUTION CONCERT HOUSE Alt-rock quartet Silversun Pickups may not be a household name, but their notoriety is certainly on the rise. Following a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist in 2009, the band released three well-received albums and toured internationally almost without pause, packing venues at every stop. Their latest romp will bring them to Garden City for a show at Revolution Concert House in support of their most recent studio album, Better Nature (New Machine Recordings, 2015). Vocalist/guitarist Brian Aubert wrote on the band’s website, “This record is as indie as it gets,” and on first listen, it’s hard to argue— the album has a ’90s throwback vibe, mixing happy-go-lucky hilarity with rare moments of oddball introspection, and SP recorded the whole thing in 30 days. To put it succinctly: The search for something strange and wonderful ends here. —Lex Nelson With Minus the Bear. 8 p.m., $30-$60. Revolution Concert House, 4983 N. Glenwood St., Garden City, 208-938-2933, cttouringid.com.

MORE PERVS TO PURGE
Hollywood has to rid itself of more predators—if that means fewer films, so be it GEORGE PRENTICE When the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences expelled movie producer Harvey Weinstein from its ranks Oct. 14, headlines around the world trumpeted the latest chapter in what has become the biggest Hollywood scandal to date, yet there was neither art nor science in what the Hollywood de facto governing body needed to do. In the wake of more than 40 women revealing how Weinstein had wielded his power and massive physical frame against them, the academy distanced itself from the movie mogul ASAP. In fact, the vote by the 54-member academy board of governors may be the simplest decision it will make in the coming months. How, for example, might the academy reconcile its practice of continually honoring Woody Allen, a 24-time Oscar nominee and four-time winner, who has been accused of sexual misconduct? What about Academy award-winner Roman Polanski, who was convicted of sexual abuse? And now, Harvey Weinstein, the man Adrienne King can’t mention by name. “Let’s just call him H.W.,” King said. “Was I surprised by all of this? Absolutely not,” she told me Oct. 13. King was in Boise to receive the Idaho Horror Film Festival Trailblazer award for her advocacy of women in film. “A long time ago, I was at an event, sitting at a table with a number of women working in the industry. In walked H.W. Everything got quiet when he sat down, and then he did most of the talking but when he got up and walked away, the stories [about him] from the women just kept coming. This was decades ago. Surprised? Not likely.” I have seen Weinstein at work, and it’s not
pretty. At multiple film festivals over the years, Weinstein has interrupted conversations or interviews I or another journalist was conducting, locked arms with the filmmaker we were talking to and whisked them away, often to a private room, without an apology. I often was told Weinstein was performing his “magic,” but sleight-of-hand had nothing to do what was going on behind those closed doors: Weinstein was strong-arming filmmakers, so he could become manipulator-in-chief for a particular film’s Oscar chances. There’s no question Weinstein’s track record with award-winning movies is impressive: Pulp Fiction, The English Patient, Good Will Hunting, Shakespeare in Love, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Chicago and The King’s Speech all took home Oscars, and when Weinstein wasn’t being thanked from the stage, he was often picking up his own golden statue. He has won six Best Picture awards, and his brother Bob Weinstein says the trophy-grabbing streak is directly linked to Harvey Weinstein’s tyranny. “Harvey was a bully. Harvey was arrogant. He treated people like shit all the time,” Bob told the Hollywood Reporter. “I had to clean up for so many of his employee messes.” Unfortunately, Bob’s comments only came after top-notch reporting by The New York Times and The New Yorker, which chronicled decades of sexual harassment and rape allegations. Soon after The Times broke the story Oct. 5, which included detailed recollections from Ashley Judd and Rose McGowan, an avalanche of accusations followed from Kate Beckinsale, Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow, Mira Sorvino and dozens
more. Performers, writers, directors and producers filled social media with their outrage or disgust in the days that followed. Then, Woody Allen, who worked with Weinstein on several films, including Oscar winners Bullets Over Broadway and Vicky Cristina Barcelona weighed in during an Oct. 15 interview with the BBC, saying he was “sad for everybody involved” and was worried about a “witch hunt atmosphere where every guy in an office who winks at a woman is suddenly having to call a lawyer to defend himself.” Who said anything about winking? The accusations against Weinstein are for assault and/or rape, not unlike the 1992 allegation against Allen for sexually abusing his young adopted daughter. The reluctance in Hollywood to speak out against the actions of Allen, Polanski, Bill Cosby—another current member of the Motion Picture Academy—has gone on for decades. In 2009, more than 100 filmmakers, including Martin Scorsese, David Lynch and Woody Allen, signed a petition protesting the thendetention of Polanski by Swiss authorities for his sex crimes, which read, “Filmmakers, actors, producers and technicians want him to know that he has their support and friendship.” It’s time. No, strike that. It’s long past time for Hollywood, and the Motion Picture Academy in particular, to say enough is enough—and the voices must be those of both women and men, who need to hold their male peers accountable. If the result is some filmmakers are put out of business and fewer movies get made, so be it. There can not be a sequel. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

ANN C. RICHARD
On the tenuous state of the State Department GEORGE PRENTICE
Ann Richard grew up around a lot of potatoes— but nowhere near Idaho. “The east end of Long Island was once famous for growing potatoes before Idaho conquered the market,” she said. “Now, you’ll mostly see vineyards in the area of Long Island where I grew up. We were a lot more normal than the fabulous Hamptons.” When she was in high school, Richard dreamed of leaving what she called her “small, quiet” town and seeing the world. She made those dreams come true: she visited nearly every corner of the planet, working first for the Peace Corps and the International Rescue Committee and ultimately as Assistant Secretary of State for Population, Refugees and Migration for the Obama administration. After leaving the State Department earlier this year, she began teaching at Georgetown University and is a visiting fellow at the University of Pennsylvania. Just prior to her Monday, Oct. 23, visit to Boise, when she’ll be a guest at the Frank Church Conference on Public Affairs, Richard spoke about the tenuous state of the State Department and the ongoing global refugee crisis. Assuming you have friends and former colleagues still working at the State Department, can you confirm that employees are leaving public service at an unacceptable rate? My former colleagues were a lot less interested in the ebb and flow of politics and instead cared much more about doing the best job possible to get aid to refugees, but now, politics have intruded. To have a president whose White House issues all sorts of statements that are antagonistic to those refugee programs is a very strange experience for them. The definition of what used to be doing a good job inside the State Department is now very uncertain. They’re trying to do the best job they can, despite that stress and uncertainty. Let’s talk about how President Trump has scaled down limits on future refugee resettlement to the U.S. One of the reasons I was so surprised last year was [that] this became such a hot campaign issue. I thought most Americans were very proud of the fact that we’re a nation of immigrants and refugees. I thought that was well-established. It seems
22 | OCTOBER 18–24, 2017 | BOISEweekly
to go counter to our history of immigration; and a ban on Muslims coming to the U.S. is certainly counter to our history of freedom of religion and an insult to Muslim Americans. Can you speak to the perceived threat to America coming from refugees versus the real threat of domestic radicalism? Following the November 2015 attacks in Paris, there were erroneous stories that the attacks were carried out by refugees. They were terrorists who used a perversion of Islam to inspire them, but they were Europeans. Suddenly, refugees were seen as people who had terrorist sympathies, and that was completely false but prevailing in our discourse. Millions of refugees have come to the U.S. with a very good record of putting down roots, enriching our country and, for the most part, being law abiding citizens. They’re no more likely to get in trouble with the law than any other group of Americans. Domestic issues are not my expertise, but look at Las Vegas and the lives that were lost there. No refugee has been involved in anything like that. Scientists and healthcare professionals around the world deal with real threats and public safety, and whenever I would tell them some Americans were concerned about a tiny fraction of the world’s refugees coming the U.S., they would say that’s not logical. If you’re afraid and really want to be safe, buckle your seatbelt when you drive and get your inoculations. I would be remiss if I didn’t ask about your upcoming visit to Idaho and the opportunity to talk with people who want to be more engaged with foreign affairs. That’s why I really like to get away from the Washington D.C. beltway. People care about what’s happening in the rest of the word, but there’s so much misinformation out there. I really appreciate the opportunity to set the record straight and provide information to people about how much thought and care went into the programs that led the U.S. to be the leader in humanitarian operations around the world. Part of what I’m trying to do is let people know that we provided funding that made the U.S. the backbone of international humanitarian responses, and that’s something Americans can be proud of.

BOOZEHOUND CUTWATER CANNED COCKTAILS It’s easy to understand why popular San Diego-based Ballast Point Brewing & Spirits sold to industry giant Constellation Brands: A billion dollar offer is hard to refuse. But the “spirits” side of the venture wasn’t part of the deal and under the rebranded Cutwater Spirits, many of those who made Ballast Point such a success are devoting their time and energy to producing premium liquor and mixers. Cutwater cocktails-in-a-can, which are a step above the usual premixed drinks, have just arrived in the Treasure Valley. Here are three with more to come: SPICY BLOODY MARY, $3.49-$3.99
A blend of Fugu Vodka (named for the sushi delicacy made with poisonous pufferfish) and hand-crafted bloody mary mix, this one lives up to its name. Expect to start sweating about two sips in. Barring any masochistic tendencies, try a celery garnish to cool things down because despite the heat, you may go back for more. GIN & TONIC, $3.49$3.99
Old Grove gin meets an atypical tonic of grapefruit and cucumber for a unique take on this classic. Slightly sweet, the citrus is well integrated with the quinine, and there’s a nice hint of cucumber. This G&T is refreshing and at just six percent alcohol, it’s also easy drinking. VODKA MULE, $3.49$3.99
House-made ginger ale, lime and Fugu vodka come together in a cocktail that’s just too easy to guzzle. The touch of lime balances the sweetness of the mixer and with its fresh and natural tasting flavors, this is one of the best ginger brews around. It is a little on the light side, so if you’re a traditionalist, add a little extra vodka. —David Kirkpatrick BOISE WEEKLY.COM

PAGE BREAK MINERVA’S BREAKDOWN $GYLFH IRU WKRVH RQ WKH YHUJH MANSCAPING DEAR MINERVA, Manscaping has recently come up in discussion within my relationship. To be fair, I am a hairy beast. What are your feelings about it? I don’t do much and before I jump in, I want to know what you think. Sincerely, Fuzzy Wuzzy
DEAR FUZZY, Manscaping (or womanscaping, for that matter) is very personal. Whether you do or don’t is entirely up to you. People often remove body hair to conform to a standard of beauty. Just like clothing, trends in body hair come and go. What do I think? Personally, I like a man with some hair on him. However, when I like someone, there is so much more at play than body hair. It is their body and their choice. Hair is natural. It should not be a deterrent for intimacy based simply on some cultural expectation. If you choose to manscape, here are some tips: Should you opt to shave, don’t make the mistake of shaving upward. Shave going the same direction as the hair grows—you are less likely to get ingrown hairs, which can lead to other bacterial problems. Better yet, find a good depilatory cream (I am not giving away my secrets) that work for your hair type. If you don’t want the bare look, just trim things up to keep it sharp. If you decide not to manscape and your partner leaves you, call me. As an adult, I am not intimidated by the follicularly blessed. Happy trimming!

FIND OUTDOOR IDAHO: “WILD HORSES” There is perhaps no image more symbolic of the American West than a band of mustangs running wild across its open planes. Yet despite the iconic visual, wild horses are a controversial topic in Idaho and its surrounding states, where, according to a 2017 BLM population inventory, 73,000 horses and burros now roam free on public lands, competing with cattle for forage. In the first episode of its 35th season, the Idaho Public Television program Outdoor Idaho will examine the issue of wild horse overpopulation from both sides, describing the Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971 and speculating on what the future will hold if the Trump administration cuts funding for BLM programs assisting wild equines. Featuring stunning footage of horses on the range, as well as interviews with cattle ranchers, wild horse advocates and BLM representatives, “Wild Horses” is an episode no Idahoan should miss. —Lex Nelson Watch on KAID at 8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 19; 7 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 22; or online at facebook.com/outdoor.idaho Monday, Oct. 23.

ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): I share Vincent Van Gogh’s belief that “the best way to know life is to love many things,” but I also think the next 12 months will be an inspiring time for you to be focused and single-minded in your involvement with love. That’s why I encourage you to take an approach articulated by the Russian mystic Anne Sophie Swetchine: “To love deeply in one direction makes us more loving in all others.” Halloween costume suggestion: a lover celebrating a sacred union to the love of your life, to God or Goddess, or to a symbol of your most sublime ideal. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Yes, We Have No Bananas” is a silly novelty song that became a big hit in 1923. Its absurdity led to its wide use for humorous effect. For example, on the TV series The Muppet Show, puppets made out of fruits and vegetables sang parodies of the tune. That’s why I find it droll that the “No Bananas” songwriters stole part of the melody from the “Hallelujah Chorus,” the climax of classical composer George Handel’s religious oratorio Messiah. I’d love to see you engage in comparable transmutations, Taurus: making serious things
amusing and vice versa. It’s a time when you can generate meaningful fun and playful progress through the art of reversal. Halloween costume suggestion: a tourist from Opposite Land or Bizarro World. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In the next two weeks, you may have to navigate your way through careless gossip, distorted “facts,” superficial theories, hidden agendas, fake news, and official disinformation. To prevent problems in communication with people who matter, take advantage of the Halloween spirit in this way: Obtain a bicycle helmet and cover it with aluminum foil. Decorate it with an Ace of Clubs, a red rose, images of wrathful but benevolent superheroes, and a sign that says “No Bullshit Allowed.” By wearing this crown, you should remain protected. If that’s too weird for you, do the next best thing: Vow to speak the whole truth and nothing but the truth and ask to receive the whole truth and nothing but the truth. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Watch out for a fake pizza-delivery driver who’s actually trying to issue you a legal summons. Be careful you don’t glimpse a blood red sky at dusk in case it’s a prophetic sign

your cell phone will fall into a toilet sometime soon. Beware of the possibility that a large bird carrying a turtle to its nest accidentally drops its prey into a rain puddle near you, splashing mud on your fancy clothes. Just kidding! All the scenarios I described are stupid lies. The truth is, this should be one of the most worry-free times ever. You’re welcome, of course, to dream up a host of scary fantasies if you find that entertaining, but I guarantee they’ll be illusory. Halloween costume suggestion: an indomitable warrior. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): What is the material object you want most but don’t have? This is an object that would serve your soul’s highest purposes, although not necessarily your ego’s. Here’s another question: What evocative symbol might help keep you inspired to fulfill your dreams over the course of the next five years? I suggest you choose one or both of those things to be the inspiration for your Halloween costume. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Did you get a chance to go to circus school when you were a kid? How about magic school? Or maybe detective school or time-
travel school or superhero school? Probably none of the above, right? Much of your education revolved around what you had to learn rather than what would be fun to learn. I’m not saying it was bad you were compelled to study subjects you felt ambivalent about. In the long run, it did you good, but now here’s some sweet news, Virgo: The next 10 months will be a favorable time to get trainings and teachings in what you yearn to learn. Halloween costume suggestion: a student. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Now is an excellent phase in your cycle to scour bathrooms, scrub floors, shampoo carpets and wash windows, but the imminent future will be an even more favorable period to purify your motivations, tonify your emotions, purge your less-than-noble agendas, calm down your monkey mind and monkey heart, disinfect the moldy parts of your past and fact-check the stories you tell about yourself. So which set of tasks should you focus on? It may be possible to make great strides on the second set as you carry out the first set. But if there’s not enough time and energy to do both, favor the second set. Halloween costume suggestion: a superhero who has wondrous cleaning powers—King Janitor or Queen Maid. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “You never sing the same song twice,” said chanteuse Billie Holiday. “If you sing it with all the same phrasing and melody, you’re failing your art.” That’s an extreme statement, but I understand what
she was driving at. Repeating yourself too much can be debilitating. That includes trying to draw inspiration from the same old sources that have worked in the past. I suggest you avoid this behavior in the coming days. Raise Holiday’s approach to a universal principle. Fresh sources of inspiration are available! Halloween costume suggestion: a persona or character unlike any you’ve ever imagined yourself to be. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): How can you enjoy the lavish thrills of rebirth later unless you die a little inside now? It’s the trickiest phase of your cycle, when your energies are best used to resolve and graduate from the unfinished business of the last 10 months. I suggest you put the past to rest as best as you can. Don your funniest sad face and pay your last respects to the old ways and days you’ll be leaving behind. Keep in mind that beauty will ultimately emerge from decay. Halloween costume suggestion: the mythical phoenix, which burns itself down, then resurrects itself from its own ashes. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There are no such things as magic healings and miraculous redemptions and impossible breakthroughs. Right? Evidence provided by science precludes the existence of exotic help coming from spiritual realms. Right? Well, no, not right. There is, in fact, another real world that overlaps the material world, and it operates according to different laws that are mostly imperceptible to our senses. But events in
the other real world can have tangible effects in the material world. This is especially true for you right now. Take advantage! Seek practical answers and solutions in your dreams, meditations, visions, and numinous encounters. Halloween costume suggestion: white-magic sorcerer or good witch. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Many years from now, in your last hours on earth, you will have visions that show you how all the events in your life were crucial to your life story. You will understand the lesson provided by each twist and turn of your destiny. Every piece of the gigantic puzzle will slip into place, revealing the truth of what your mission has been. During that future climax, you may remember now as a time when you got a long glimpse of the totality. Halloween costume suggestion: the happiest person on Earth; the sovereign of all you survey; the wise fool who understands yourself completely. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You might be able to pass for normal, but it will be better for your relationship with yourself if you don’t. You could try to tamp down your unusual urges and smooth your rough edges, but it will be smarter to regard those urges and edges as fertile raw material for your future happiness. Catch my drift? In the coming weeks, your main loyalty should be to your idiosyncratic intelligence. Halloween costume suggestion: the beautiful, interesting monster who lives in you.
