House Stark would laugh at our version, but winter is definitely coming. It’s difficult not to remember the topographical transfigurations across the city last year, when parking lots, sidewalks and driveway entries filled with giant, frozen snow/dirt mountains, and side roads and surface streets became untraversable under layers of thick ice. The forecast calls for sunny, mild, cool weather between now and Thanksgiving, but it’s like someone hits a switch on Black Friday, Nov. 24. According to The Farmer’s Almanac, here’s what to expect for the rest of 2017:

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“

WHY WOULD KIM JONG-UN INSULT ME BY CALLING ME “OLD,” WHEN I WOULD NEVER CALL HIM “SHORT AND FAT?” —Donald Trump tweeting from Vietnam Nov. 11 during his trip to Asia

MAIL BW BLOVIATIONS I have mixed feelings about the return of Bill Cope to Boise Weekly. Sometimes he is spoton, but usually I have to wade through a whole lot of puff and drivel to ﬁnd the gem. But that’s beside the point. My point is that in this era of extreme polarization, I wish BW would make more of an effort to refrain from blathering Trump-bashing. It only damages BW’s credibility and increases the polarization. Once I got tired of wringing my hands over the stunning election results of Nov. 2016, I began trying to understand why and how, and to try and ﬁnd common ground with some Trump voters. They are not evil. When I hear someone whine about Obamacare I ask, “Well, how do you feel about pre-existing conditions, lifetime maximum payouts, letting your kids stay on your plan ‘til they’re 26, etc.?” To NRA supporters, I ask, “Do you think the framers of the constitution intended to protect our right to own bump stocks? Do you think that if someone is on the terror watch list and can’t board a plane, that they should be able to buy a gun?”

I recently came up with my sound bite for the tax reform debate, and made a bumper sticker: “The rich don’t need more tax cuts.” It’s been more than a week, and no one has ﬂipped me off, yet. One of the many challenges our country faces is learning to talk again over the grand canyon of our polarized perspectives. I hope BW will embrace a commitment to that and exert your editorial powers over the bloviations of Bill Cope. David Peckham, Boise

SO SCARED I have no fear of goblins, witches, or evil clowns lurking on Halloween. What really scares me is the meat industry. This is the industry that mutilates and cages, then butchers billions of cows, pigs, turkeys and chickens—animals who feel joy, affection, sadness and pain, as we do… That exposes undocumented workers to chronic workplace injuries at slave wages and exploits farmers and ranchers by dictating market prices... The industry that contributes more to our epidemic of diabetes, heart disease,

stroke and cancer than any other, then bullies health authorities to remove warnings from dietary guidelines… That sanctions world hunger by feeding nutritious corn and soybeans to animals instead of people… That generates more water pollution than all other human activities, that spews more greenhouse gases than all transportation, that destroys more wildlife habitats than all other industries... These are the things that keep me up at night. Fortunately, my local supermarket offers a rich selection of plant-based meats, milks, cheeses and ice creams, as well as a colorful display of fresh fruit and veggies. It gives me hope and courage for my future, but I still fear for my friends and neighbors. Ike Schneider, Boise

CORRECTION: In our story “No Parking Any Time, News, Nov. 8-14,” we wrote, “As of press time, calls to CCDC for comment have not been returned,” inadvertently implying CCDC had not returned calls to Boise Weekly instead of to the Anderson brothers.

Ofﬁcials at St. Luke’s Nampa hope to have Medicare and Medicaid accreditation in December.

NEW ST. LUKE’S NAMPA MEDICAL CENTER NOT YET MEDICARE OR MEDICAID ACCREDITED When St. Luke’s swung open the doors of its new $114 million, 200,000-squarefoot medical center in Nampa on Oct. 30, hospital officials were anxious to show off the 87 patient rooms, four operating rooms, 10 intensive care units, one cardiology lab and one radiology lab. Not everything was in place, however, at the medical center, St. Luke’s eighth and newest. The hospital hasn’t yet secured accreditation to bill Medicare or Medicaid—although some Medicare and Medicaid patients have received services during first few days of operations. According to Vice President for Communications and Marketing of St. Luke’s Health System Beth Toal, the hospital will be unable to recoup those costs. “There have been some [Medicare and Medicaid] patients that had been cared for in Nampa,” said Toal. “But because we hadn’t issued the formal Advanced Benefits Notice communicating this difference to them, they are not going to be held accountable for those charges.” She stressed that the accreditation delay would not affect any Medicare or Medicaid patients seeking emergency care. Toal said hospital administrators made incorrect assumptions based on a previous experience opening a medical facility in Meridian. “What’s different about St. Luke’s in Nampa is that it’s a brand new facility operating under a brand new license,” Toal said. “And so, as our team was looking at the information about the opening, there was some of the information that they misunderstood or didn’t quite interpret correctly, which created this.” The accreditation required to bill Medicare and Medicaid is administered by the Illinois-based non-profit Joint Commission, which has certified more than 21,000 health care organizations and programs across the United States. Toal said the accreditation process for St. Luke’s Nampa is expected to conclude sometime in December. —Sam Wonacott 6 | NOVEMBER 15–21, 2017 | BOISEweekly

NEWS KEEPING THE FAITH, FIGHTING EXEMPTIONS

The battle against religiousbased exemptions from civil or criminal liability in Idaho will continue in 2018 GEORGE PRENTICE Bruce Wingate was ready to get serious about the sobering topic of Idaho children dying due to parental neglect when someone interrupted, asking about a recipe for gingerbread. “Don’t worry. Gingerbread is pretty easy,” he said, calming a flustered kitchen volunteer at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Boise. “I’ve got the baking pans out in in my car, and we can whip up some gingerbread in a jiffy.” The brief gingerbread conversation broke the tension, if only for a moment. Wingate, founder of the Protect Idaho Kids Foundation, spends many of his days and nights at Immanuel Lutheran. “I think we’ve served more than 50,000 meals here to the homeless, the lonely or to those who hunger in different ways,” said Wingate. “I also think it’s very appropriate for us to be having a conversation here in a house of worship about protecting children. Many people of faith truly oppose special religious-exemptions which have resulted in the suffering of too many children.” Getting people of faith, let alone Idaho lawmakers, involved in a debate about faith-based exemption from civil and criminal liability is tricky business—which is why Wingate said it’s time to frame that debate more simply. “If you ask Idaho legislators whether they support the state’s faith-healing exemptions, suddenly, some of them start talking about ideals and principles,” said Wingate. “But all of that talk about ideals and principles can get in the way of reality. The reality is that 182 children have died unnecessarily in Idaho because of faith-healing exemptions, which continue to protect those children’s parents from any liability.” That stunning statistic, Wingate argues, requires a more direct question. “Do those legislators really want to be responsible for supporting a law that, since it has been in effect, has seen 182 children die and even more children suffer?” he asked.

IDAHO HAS A CHECKERED PAST REGARDING CHILD ENDANGERMENT In 1887, before officially becoming a state, the Idaho territory enacted a law: “Every parent of any child who willfully omits, without lawful excuse, to furnish necessary food, clothing, shelter or medical attendance for such child, is guilty of a misdemeanor.” Even after Idaho became the 43rd state, the law remained in effect for the better part of a century. It wasn’t until 1972 that the Idaho Legislature voted unanimously to institute religious exemptions for child endangerment in the criminal code. In 1976, the Idaho Legislature went a step further and added religious exemptions, this time in the civil code. As reports grew of more Idaho children suffering and dying while their parents turned to prayer instead of medicine, the Governor’s Task Force on Children at Risk was convened in 2015 and conducted a full review of Idaho religious exemptions. In his summary, task force chairman Kirtlan Naylor concluded, “Religious freedoms must be protected, but vulnerable children must also be appropriately sheltered from unnecessary harm and death.” That, in turn, prompted a separate 10-member joint legislative panel to convene in August 2016, which took testimony from Idaho prosecutors, and opponents and proponents of the exemptions.

“This religious exemption is the only place in the [Idaho] Child Protective Act that places the parent’s right before the child,” said Mary Jo Beig, from the office of the Idaho Attorney General, urging the task force to recommend a change. The office of the Ada County Prosecutor felt much the same. “We would like to see this exemption lifted,” said Jean Fisher, special crimes unit chief, agreeing change in Idaho was long overdue. The debate shifted to the Idaho Statehouse in March this year when Senate Bill 1182 was introduced as a proposed compromise. The bill to “amend existing law to revise a provision regarding medical treatment by prayer through spiritual means,” would make changes to the faith-healing exemption from civil liability for child neglect, but it made no change to the exemptions in idaho criminal code. “It was a terrible bill,” said Wingate. “First of all, it actually tried to broaden some of the existing exemptions. Secondly, it would have left it up to children to say something when things went wrong. [No] dying 10-year-old is going to say, ‘Mommy, I want you and Daddy to be penalized. I need a doctor.’ A child is just not going to say those words.” When SB 1182 came up for debate March 21, there was little support from either side of the issue. Some Idaho senators argued the measure BOISE WEEKLY.COM

NEWS violated freedom of religion while others argued the bill didn’t go far enough. “I think it’s fundamentally wrong to criminalize people for the free exercise of religion,” said Sen. Jim Rice (R-Caldwell). “People of faith, the medical community [and] law enforcement, not to mention many parents, are very much against this bill,” said Senate Minority Leader Michelle Stennett (D-Ketchum). The bill was defeated 11 to 24. “Which brings us to where we are today,” said Wingate. “Have you seen the Halloween cards we recently sent out to all of the Idaho legislators?” In his hand, Wingate held a greeting card with a picture of a frowning pumpkin on the front. “Even the Pumpkins Are Sad This Halloween. Why?” read the message below the photo. Inside the card, another message read, “Because three more children died in Idaho’s anti-medical sects in two months this year. No action was taken because of Idaho’s religious exemptions.” Protect Idaho Kids Foundation will next send out Christmas cards to lawmakers, with a similar message: “We can respect religious freedom and a parent’s right to prayer while also demanding that children receive life-saving medical care.”

THE LEGACY OF MATTHEW SWAN Rita Swan doesn’t hesitate for a moment when she’s asked about faith-based exemptions in Idaho. “This state is the worst in the nation when it comes to children who have died due to faithbased medical neglect,” she said. Rita, 74, is more soft-spoken when she talks about her son Matthew Swan. “This year is... Well, it has been…” she took a breath. “It has been 40 years now, hasn’t it? It was 1977. Matthew is the reason why I’m here talking to you today.” Rita grew up in a family of six. She was five years old and living in Idaho when her parents converted to Christian Science. Because followers of her parents’ newly-embraced faith didn’t believe in traditional medical care, Rita suffered from mumps and pinkeye as a child. “Quite frankly, our family felt superior to people who were treated by doctors,” said Rita. Eventually, Rita married Doug Swan, a fellow Christian Scientist, and both became teachers at a Christian Science college. “At the time we didn’t question anything, but in retrospect, when I saw one woman with an enormous growth on her neck and another woman with a withered arm, I should have questioned,” said Swan. “Oddly, we thought we were in a comfortable place to be and Christian Scientists are pretty pleasant people to be around.” That pleasantness would soon fade. In 1977, when the Swan’s 16-month-old son Matthew deBOISE WEEKLY.COM

two daughters and a grandson named Matthew. The Swans would also go on to create Children’s Healthcare Is a Legal Duty, or CHILD, and for more than three decades, they effectively lobbied state legislatures throughout the United States, turning the tide against faith-based exemptions from liability when parents deny a child medical care. “When we started our fight in the early 1980s, nearly every state had some kind of religious exemption, but look where we are today,” said Rita, pointing to a colorcoded U.S. map. “Today, there are nine states that still allow religious exemptions for negligent homicide or manslaughter— Idaho is one of those nine. But Idaho’s neighbors Montana, Wyoming and Nevada don’t allow any criminal exemptions, and Oregon has eliminated all criminal or civil faith-healing exemptions.” The Swans recently decided to step away from the day-to-day operations of their nonprofit to spend more time with their family, and Philadelphia-based CHILD USA has folded the mission of CHILD into its fight against child abuse and Rita Swan and husband Doug created Children’s Healthcare Is a neglect. Rita will still travel just about anyLegal Duty, effectively lobbying against faith-based exemptions. where at any time to talk to anyone about ending faith-based exemptions. “My husband and I always said if we veloped a high fever, the family didn’t take him to could save the life of just one child, it was all a doctor or hospital.

Only 20.9 percent of registered voters in Boise cast ballots this November.

BOISE ELECTION RESULTS: A MAJORITY OF THE MINORITY With all of the issues swirling around Boise—a controversial proposal to build a sports stadium, the possibility of F-35 ﬁghter jets at Gowen Field, the lack of a robust public transit system and the widening gap between affordable and high-end housing—it would have been natural to conclude that more citizens would want to have a say about who’s making the city’s toughest decisions. Additionally, Boise had three city council seats on this year’s ballot, two of them open to newcomers. No fewer than 13 candidates vied for the three seats. But Ada County election ofﬁcials report that only 20.9 percent of Boise’s 118,434 voters cast ballots Nov.7. Simply put, a small minority of citizens had the greatest say on who should be in charge at City Hall. In the race for Boise City Council Seat 2, vacated by Ben Quintana, community activist Lisa Sanchez won convincingly with 44.1 percent of the vote, leading in 71 of Boise’s 88 precincts. She was followed by Frank Walker (25.4 percent of the vote), Logan Kimball (18.5 percent), Rachel Misnick (7.6 percent) and Paul Fortin (4.4 percent). Council TJ Thomson, the only incumbent on this year’s ballot, retained Council Seat 4 with 46.8 percent of the vote, leading in 61 of the city’s 88 precincts. He was followed by Naomi Johnson (38.4 percent), Crispin Gravatt (7.5 percent) and Nicolas Way (7.4 percent). Holli Woodings was the most successful candidate of the night, winning 52.3 percent of the vote in the race for Boise Council Seat 4. She was followed by Caleb Hansen (28.8 percent), Michelle Doane (10.2 percent) and Nicholas Jones (8.6 percent). But the most lopsided vote this November came when 83.4 percent of Boise voters gave their support to the city’s open space levy, which won handily in all but one of the city’s 88 precincts. Only in precinct 1804 in south Boise did the majority of voters come out against the levy—but only eight ballots were cast in that entire precinct. —George Prentice BOISEweekly | NOVEMBER 15–21, 2017 | 7

INDIAN CLASSICAL MUSIC, NOV. 17, MORRISON CENTER

THURSDAY NOVEMBER 16

The raga has no direct corollary in western classical music. That means for a lot of people who head to the Morrison Center for An Evening of Indian Classical Music, the music rolling off the stage will be almost otherworldly. Put on by the Boise Bengali Association and the Boise State University Department of Music, the event promises an evening of music in the Hindustani (north Indian) style, featuring Brandon McIntosh playing the sarod, a lute-like stringed instrument; Srivani Jade singing and Kuntal Roy playing the tabla, a classical Indian drum. Ragas themselves consist of at least ﬁve notes musicians can riff off, and have intense emotional signiﬁcance and symbolism. Some have strong associations with the seasons, moods and religious holidays. Even for those with a strong background in Indian music, An Evening of Indian Classical Music will be a trip. Advance tickets can be purchased at India Foods (6020 W. Fairview Ave.) or through Jeanne Belfy at jbelfy@ boisestate.edu.

Saoirse Ronan, already nominated twice for an Oscar (Atonement and Brooklyn) is destined for another nod from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for yet another brilliant performance, this time in Lady Bird, opening Friday, Nov. 17.

Lady Bird is embarrassed by her mother Marion, who is doing double shifts as a psych ward nurse and who, like so many adults, can’t seem to say the right thing to her child even though she never seems to stop talking. In one particularly illuminating scene, the mother and daughter are in the car. Lady Bird: “I hate California. I want to go the East Coast. I want to go where there’s culture, someplace like New York. Marion: “How in the world did I raise such a snob?” Lady Bird: “Or at least Connecticut or New Hampshire, where writers live in the woods.” Marion: “You wouldn’t get into those schools anyway.” With that, Lady Bird opens her door and jumps from the fast-moving car. Ultimately, Lady Bird is a must-see film. Gerwig, Metcalf and Ronan are all at the top of their profession, with writer/director Gerwig crafting her first full-length feature behind the camera. All three are destined for sure-bet Oscar nominations, and the timing couldn’t be better to celebrate their exquisite achievement. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

BOISE FALL FOOD ROUNDUP

Restaurants and breweries open and close, say goodbye to Bleubird and hello to Mad Mac, and McDonald’s now delivers

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

FAVA BEANS AND A NICE CHIANTI There was a time when Chianti evoked a straw-covered squat bottle which held a credible juice, but made for a better candle holder. Although Chianti is a red blend made in the Chianti region of Italy, adding white wine grapes was once required. Over the years, new regulations have vastly improved quality, and although the wine must be at least 75 percent Sangiovese—80 percent for the Classico region—there are now eight sub-regions. Here are the panel’s top three Chianti picks: 2015 BIBBIANO CHIANTI CLASSICO, $21 A Sangiovese-dominant blend (typically with less than five percent of the Colorino grape), dark plum and berry liqueur aromas dominate the nose along with a hint of black licorice. A beautifully balanced wine with a smooth palate, it combines creamy chocolate cherry and berry flavors. The velvety finish lingers on the palate.

LE X NEL SON Boise is still growing, and although more people means more traffic, they also bring something absolutely wonderful to the city of trees: new restaurants, filling spaces where other eateries have been and gone. A prime example is New Garden Chinese, which opened its doors last month in the Collister Shopping Center on State Street, taking over a storefront that used to belong to Nam King. With bottom-shelf prices and 179 menu items—ranging from traditional Cantonese and Chinese-American favorites to true American standbys like burgers and fries—to choose from, there’s a lot to like about New Garden. Continuing the Asian theme, a new Vietnamese restaurant called Pho Tay is slated to open at the corner of Fairview Avenue and Five Mile Road in the space previously occupied by Taj Mahal. Though there isn’t a definite opening date, any restaurant with “pho” in the name is more than welcome to make a winter debut. Plus, some beloved Boise institutions are expanding into new territory, foremost among them the all-pasta food truck Mad Mac, which will open a brick-and-mortar location in early December. Mad Mac, known for its top-notch dishes piled with unconventional mac-andcheese toppings like sweet corn, buffalo chicken and fresh jalapenos, will fill the former Pollo Rey space at the Boise Spectrum (home to Edwards 21 and IMAX). Although it has been open less than eight months, Paddles Up Poke, the build-your-own-poke-bowl place on Ninth Street, is opening a second location at the intersection of Eagle and McMillan roads. Paddles Up owners have yet to announce an opening date. In booze news, Gas Lantern Drinking Company on Fulton Street (between White Dog Brewing and Longdrop Cider), opened at the end of October. The space is beautifully decorated, with a sweeping bar, sleek gray

upholstery and old-fashioned fixtures, and the bar serves food from Smoke & Thyme, the barbeque food truck parked in the adjoining alley. Then, in brews news, veteran-owned Bear Island Brewing plans to open a taproom next year. Readers may already be familiar with Bear Island, as owners Beth and Steve Bechtel have been operating the brewery out of their family garage since 2014 and sell their beer at more than 80 locations citywide. Beth, the creative force behind Bear Island’s inventive suds, began brewing at home when she and her thenboyfriend Steve were deployed overseas with the U.S. Navy. “...I really had a knack for it, really enjoyed it, and it just became a massive passion of mine,” Beth said. “So I started writing my business plan and just knew, [even though] I still had five years left on my Navy contract, I knew someday that I was going to go home again and start this brewery for Boise.” Bear Island is known for using local ingredients to flavor its creative pours, like lavender sprigs, pumpkins and even Idaho potatoes— read more about Bear Island’s best-selling brew, Idaho Potato Ale, on Page 22—and is currently in the process of moving into the old Fire Station 6 on Fairview. The Bechtels have their fingers crossed for a 2018 opening. In a mix of bad news and good news, the

owners of Bleubird, the beloved Boise sandwich spot and three-time consecutive BW Best of Boise winner for Best Local Sandwich, announced on Facebook that they will be shutting down for good on Friday, Jan. 26. Owners Sarah and David “DK” Kelly will take their culinary excellence elsewhere, opening a new restaurant called Petite 4 on the Boise Bench next spring. Although the new menu has yet to be announced, if it lives up to the Bleubird standard, it will undoubtedly become a destination eatery. Wild West Bakery and Espresso, an Eagle mainstay since 1995, is also closing its doors before the end of the year, joining downtown steakhouse Angell’s Bar and Grill Renato in the restaurant graveyard. It will reopen in early 2018 as Mama Italia’s Trattoria, a traditional, family owned Italian eatery that will have little in common with the brunch spot it is replacing. Diners can expect light, authentic Italian dishes straight from the recipe book of the Italian grandmother who gave the restaurant its name. Lastly, fast food giant McDonald’s has partnered with UberEats to bring its newest venture to Boise: McDelivery. As of Oct. 24, customers can place orders through the UberEats app or website and, for an additional booking fee, fast food from the Fairview Avenue McDonald’s will be delivered directly to their door.

2011 POGGIO GUALTIERI GRIGNANO CHIANTI RUFINA RESERVA, $18.99 After Classico, Rufina is arguably the most prestigious of the Chianti subregions. Red fruit aromas pour from the glass of this Reserva, backed by cedar, vanilla and spice. A dollop of Merlot (10 percent) adds a silky texture to this earthy wine that’s filled with spicy, dark fruit flavors. It finishes with a touch of tart cherry. 2015 VILLA DI GEGGIANO BANDINELLO, $21 Though the Bandinello family’s winery is in the Classico region, this wine can’t be labeled Chianti because it’s a blend with just 60 percent Sangiovese. Still, it’s a delicious, fruit-forward wine with ripe cherry and chocolate aromas and a subtle earthiness. The flavors are fresh and lively, with sweet cherry and berry fruit balanced by a hit of acidity on the finish. —David Kirkpatrick BOISEweekly | NOVEMBER 15–21, 2017 | 17

CITIZEN HOLLI WOODINGS

Buses, stadiums and having 100 new best friends GEORGE PRENTICE

Holli Woodings didn’t look exhausted after winning a seat on the Boise City Council by an overwhelming margin—she rarely does—even though she had just mounted a successful campaign and had been shuttling between Boise and Bend, Oregon, where her mother was hospitalized following a bad car accident. “She has a broken neck, broken back, broken ribs and broken clavicle,” said Woodings. “She’s not paralyzed, which is a miracle.” Woodings had dropped everything and rushed to Oregon, but her campaign was never put on hold. Due to the good graces of friends and volunteers, the door-knocking continued, which ultimately led Woodings to a win with 52.3 percent of the vote, compared to her challengers Caleb Hansen (28.8 percent), Michelle Doane (10.2 percent) and Nicholas Jones (8.6 percent). How’s your mother doing? They’re going to perform a medical transport to the St. Luke’s Inpatient Rehab, so she’ll be closer to us. They’re going to see if she can heal a bit more before considering surgery. She’ll probably be there for 10 to 12 weeks. I want to read you something you told me once: “The more I thought about the possibility of running for the Boise City Council and the more people asked, the more I thought I should consider it.” That was November 2014. And I kept thinking about it. It just makes sense. I went from serving my neighborhood to serving in the Idaho Legislature. I know city issues and we have so many things going on and there is so much opportunity to make things right. Let’s talk about some of the things that will be before you soon after you’re sworn into oﬃce, like a downtown circulator. I love the idea and I like the route they’re considering. I’m a little less convinced that it needs to be a rail system. Some cities are using driverless vehicles in their circulators. We’ve heard that more people would ride a trolley instead of a bus because a trolley has a cool factor, but imagine having a cool driverless bus. 18 | NOVEMBER 15–21, 2017 | BOISEweekly

Mayor Bieter says if we lose the current A-10 mission at Gowen Field, we should support the eﬀort to attract an F-35 mission to Boise, but a fair amount of people in the Vista area get a little nervous about that. One of their questions, which is super valid, is: Will the mission create an uninhabitable zone near the airport? We already have a housing shortage, a pretty significant one. We have to look very hard at how an F-35 mission would affect habitable zones in our city. And we need to operate off the facts, not emotions or assumptions. Can you weigh in on the proposed sports stadium west of downtown? I hear again and again about conversations about this, but they’re outside the public domain, and I think that’s a valid frustration. That said, I think the sports park is a great idea and west of downtown is the right spot for it. It’s an underutilized section of the city. But ultimately the main question is: How is this going to be financed so that Boise taxpayers aren’t left on the hook if it’s not successful? What does the City of Boise need right now that it doesn’t have? We need our buses to run on Sunday[s] and evenings. I heard this time and again from citizens throughout the campaign. I kept hearing that our transportation system isn’t reflective of the size of our city and the needs of our residents. Valley Regional Transit would love to do that but they’re going to turn to Boise City Hall and say, “You’re going to need to pay for that.” I’m anxious to get working on that with my fellow council members. Can I assume you’ve heard from a lot of people since your win? It’s like having another birthday. My inbox is full. The week after you’re elected it’s “Congratulations.” A week later it’s, “We have to meet and talk about my ideas.” I’ve been advised to be prepared to have 100 new and very best friends.

BEAR ISLAND BREWING IDAHO POTATO ALE

WATTLE I DO? DEAR MINERVA, I am dreading Thanksgiving. My husband’s family is visiting again, which sends our home into turmoil. They are nice enough, and I want them to have a relationship with our children, but their political beliefs are not aligned with the way in which we live our lives and treat others. Now that our teens are showing interest in advocacy and activism and are well on their way to being open-minded, compassionate people, I’m worried that my in-laws’ ignorant and racist comments are going to be a setback. I just want a peaceful holiday. Sincerely, Wattle I Do?

DEAR WATTLE, This is a touchy subject for everyone involved. I prefer to take a gracious stance, and I usually keep a few topics of common, non-political interest in my arsenal. If your kids are doing anything exciting, those can be great topics to bring up when the conversation starts to wander into choppy waters. Keeping the conversation light is part of successful entertaining. It may also help to chat with your kids about how to process and interact with people who don’t agree. If all else fails, talk turkey. Frankly saying, “We need to change the subject” can also move you all on to more pleasant discussions. I am not suggesting you or anyone doesn’t have a right to say their piece. I am suggesting that maybe, just maybe, it will keep until the celebration has ended. Our troubles will always be waiting for us, Thanksgiving or not.

Beth Bechtel, co-owner of Bear Island Brewing, came up with the idea for the brewery’s best-selling IPA while serving overseas. “When I was in the service I was on deployment in the Middle East, and I ran out of barley—I was brewing out of my room. So I needed a starch solution to make alcohol, and I was working on my IPA recipe...I went into a Middle Eastern market, and the first thing I saw was russet potatoes, and [the] IPA in my brain immediately became Idaho Potato Ale.” According to Bechtel, the idea is more than just a gimmick: The potatoes actually improve the beer. “It’s still a beer, so it still has barley and all those things too, but the addition of potatoes actually enhanced the body and the head retention of the beer. They have a little more protein, and that’s what protein does for beer,” she said. The IPA has a delicate boozy aroma, and each sip teases the palate with floral notes and a quick punch of hops that vanishes on the finish.

ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Many people go fishing all their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after,” observed Henry David Thoreau. The spirit of Thoreau’s observation is true about every one of us to some extent. From time to time, we all try to satisfy our desires in the wrong location, with the wrong tools and with the wrong people. But I’m happy to announce that his epigram is less true for you now than it has ever been. In the coming months, you will have an unusually good chance to know exactly what you want, be in the right place at the right time to get it and still want it after you get it—and it all starts now. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I predict that during the next 10 months, you will generate personal power and good fortune as you ripen your skills at creating interesting forms of intimacy. Get started. Here are some tips to keep in mind. 1. All relationships have problems. Every single one, no exceptions. So you should cultivate relationships that bring you useful and educational problems. 2. Be very clear about the qualities you do and don’t want at the core of your most important alliances. 3. Were there past events that still obstruct you from weaving the kind of togetherness that’s really good for you? Use your imagination to put those events behind you forever. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may be entertaining an internal dialog that sounds something like this: “I need a clear yes or a definitive no ... a tender revelation or a radical revolution … a lesson in love or a cleansing sex marathon— but I’m not sure which. Should I descend or ascend? Plunge deeper down, all the way to the bottom? Or zip higher up, in a heedless flight into the wide open spaces? Would I be happier in the poignant embrace of an intense commitment or in the wild frontier where none of the old rules can follow me? I can’t decide. I don’t know which part of my mind I should trust.” If you do hear those thoughts in your brain, Gemini, here’s my advice: There’s no rush to decide. What’s healthiest for your soul is to bask in the uncertainty for a while. CANCER (June 21-July 22): According to storyteller Michael Meade, ancient Celtic culture believed “a person was born through three forces: the coming together of the mother and father, an ancestral spirit’s wish to be reborn and the involvement of a god or goddess.” Even if you don’t think that’s literally true, the coming weeks will be a favorable time to have fun fantasizing it is, because you’re in a phase when contemplating your origins can invigorate your spiritual health and attract good

BY ROB BREZSNY

fortune into your life. So start with the Celtic theory, and go on from there. Which of your ancestors may have sought to live again through you? Which deity might have had a vested interest in you being born? What did you come to this earth to accomplish? Which of your innate potentials have you yet to fully develop, and what can you do to further develop them? LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I predict that starting today and during the next 10 months, you will learn more about treating yourself kindly and making yourself happier than you have in years. You will mostly steer clear of the mindset that regards life as a numbing struggle for mere survival. You will regularly dream up creative ideas about how to have more fun while attending to the mundane tasks in your daily rhythm. Here’s the question I hope you will ask yourself every morning for the next 299 days: “How can I love myself with devotion and ingenuity?” VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): This may be the most miscellaneous horoscope I’ve ever created for you. That’s apropos, given the fact that you’re a multifaceted quick-change artist these days. Here’s your sweet mess of oracles. 1. If the triumph you seek isn’t humbling, it’s not the right triumph. 2. You may have an odd impulse to reclaim or recoup something that you have not in fact lost. 3. Before transmutation is possible, you must pay a debt. 4. Don’t be held captive by your beliefs. 5. If you’re given a choice between profane and sacred love, choose sacred. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The next 10 months will be an ideal time to revise and revamp your approach to education. To take maximum advantage of the potentials, create a master plan to get the training and knowledge to thrive for years to come. At first, it may be a challenge to acknowledge you have a lot more to learn. The comfortloving part of your nature may be resistant to contemplating the hard work it will require to expand your worldview and enhance your skills. But once you get started, you’ll quickly find the process becoming easier and more pleasurable. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Everything that can be invented has been invented.” -Charles H. Duell, Director of the U.S. Patent Office, 1899. “Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible.” -Lord Kelvin, President, Royal Society, 1895. “All the music that can be written has already been written. We’re just repeating the past.” -19th-century composer Tchaikovsky. “Video won’t be able to hold on to any market it captures after the first six months. People

will soon get tired of staring at a box every night.” -filmmaker Darryl F. Zanuck, commenting on television, 1946. I hope I’ve provided enough evidence to convince you to be faithful to your innovative ideas, Scorpio. Don’t let skeptics or conventional thinkers waylay you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Of all the signs in the zodiac, you Sagittarians are most likely to buy a lottery ticket that has the winning numbers, but you’re also more likely than everyone else to throw the ticket in a drawer and forget about it, or else leave it in your jeans when you do the laundry, rendering the ticket unreadable. Please don’t be like that in the coming weeks. Make sure you do what’s necessary to fully cash in on the good fortune that life will be making available. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In the game of basketball, if a player is fouled by a member of the opposing team, he is given a “free throw.” While standing 15 feet away, he takes a leisurely shot at the basket without having to deal with any defenders. Studies show that a player is most likely to succeed at this task if he shoots the ball underhanded. Yet virtually no professionals ever do this. Why? Because it doesn’t look cool. Everyone opts to shoot free throws overhand, even though it’s not as effective a technique. Weird. Let’s invoke this as a metaphor for your life in the coming weeks, Capricorn. In my astrological opinion, you’ll be more likely to accomplish good and useful things if you’re willing to look uncool. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 1991, Aquarian rock star Axl Rose recorded the song “November Rain” with his band Guns N’ Roses. It had taken him eight years to compose. Before it was ready for prime time, he had to whittle it down from an 18-minute epic to a succinct 9-minute ballad. I see the coming weeks as a time when you should strive to complete work on your personal equivalent of Axl’s opus.

PRESENTS

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Thomas Edison was a prolific inventor whose work led to the creation of electric lights, recorded music, movies and much more. When he was 49 years old, he met Henry Ford, a younger innovator who was at the beginning of his illustrious career. Ford told Edison about his hopes to develop and manufacture low-cost automobiles, and the older man responded with an emphatic endorsement. Ford later said this was the first time anyone had given him any encouragement. Edison’s approval “was worth worlds” to him. I predict, Pisces, that you will receive comparable inspiration from a mentor or guide or teacher in the next nine months. Be on the lookout for that person.
