THE RICHEST MAN IN TOWN More and more, the turn of a new year can signify what we leave behind as opposed to what we may gain. But for me, that sentiment became all too literal this holiday season. Simply put (and there was very little about it that was simple), I experienced a serious health crisis in late December. What was supposed to be simple outpatient surgery to remove my gallbladder quickly spiraled into a litany of emergency surgeries and being admitted to hospitals in Idaho and Washington.

Suffice to say, I survived it all, and while I was the beneficiary of some miracles of modern medicine, my rehabilitation truly depended on my family—both blood relatives and my Boise Weekly family. The love and unconditional support I felt across the miles had everything to do with my recovery.

I’m blessed to have a job where I meet and listen to smart, caring people for a living. For the record, though, my BW colleagues are head-and-shoulders above the rest. They are as dedicated and professional as you might imagine, but indulge me for a moment to tell you how loving and kind they are.

As I was convalescing on Christmas Eve, I, like many of you, watched It’s a Wonderful Life on television for the umpteenth time. In that final scene, when someone said, “Here’s to my big brother George, the richest man in town,” no truer words were ever spoken. Happy New Year, indeed.

ORANGE IN ORANGE The truth shall set him nuts BILL COPE Is it too early to start discussing what to do with Trump once he’s in prison?

Oh, I know. There are many jaws to drop between now and that triumphant moment when the Crud-in-Chief is escorted into a 6-by-8 foot room where the sink and toilet are one. Still, Americans who believe not only that there was collusion with Putin to influence the election, but that Trump actively encouraged it, is above 50 percent and growing like chia hair on a clay Robert Mueller head. I—and scads of others—anticipate that before the one-year anniversary of the inauguration, Jared the son-inlaw and Donny Jr. will be receiving their own personalized indictments, and other administration figures will be racing to the state’s evidence recruiting booth.

Or, the punk could fire Mueller, as well might come to pass anytime after this opinion is in print. Should that happen, I am confident it would be just one more nail in the coffin of the GOP congressional majority, and the whole investigation would resume full-bore and unimpeded, when the new Democratic House and Senate are sworn in a little over a year from now. One way or the other, sooner or later, Trump is going to have to face a boatload of bad music. After all, most Americans take a dim view of treason.

Now, whether turning over all of Trump’s rocks and exposing the nastiness beneath will lead to a drama that includes impeachment, disgrace, prosecution, conviction and ultimately, imprisonment, remains to be seen. But as long as I’m spelling out the scenario I run through my head every night in order to get to sleep, we might as well examine my ideas on how the only U.S. president likely to transition from the White House to the Greybar Hotel should be treated during his stay there.

My suggestion? Make him spend the rest of his life listening to the truth. We know he doesn’t much like having stark reality thrust upon him. Last month, it came out that the staffers presenting him with daily briefings have to bury unpleasantries (particularly reports of the Russian investigation) within written text— which he seems incapable of digesting—or he goes all Mommy Dearest on them. The way the administration dictated (to the Centers for Disease Control) a list of seven words henceforth banned from use—including, most notably, “evidence-based”—should further demonstrate that the administration has an aversion to evidence-based information. None but his most thick-skulled devotees can honestly say they believe any more than a fraction of what 4 | JANUARY 3–9, 2018 | BOISEweekly

leaks out of his scrambled brain and into his scrambled speech.

So, I’m thinking what most people locked in the monotony of prison life would find a welcome relief—i.e., several hours a day of unadulterated facts, figures, historical realities and undoctored analysis—Trump will find excruciating. It will be like putting a pig on a normal diet after a lifetime of feeding it nothing but ketchup-soaked steak. You may call it a rehabilitation program if you wish, but I’m satisfied to think of it as retribution. The damage this particular pig has done to our nation precludes allowing him to rot away unperturbed in a cell without some other, more meaningful, layer of punishment.

Yet, I am not suggesting any excessive cruelty to the jailbird. Seriously, how much real harm can come to him by repeating several times a day that, say, his intelligence quotient would preclude him getting accepted to a community junior college had he not born into wealth and privilege? Or that his approval ratings are so low, Obama feels sorry for him? Or that his hairdo has been the source of endless enjoyment for the millions of Americans who regard him as a no-class clown?

It would have to start gently, I feel, if only to soften up a mind twisted by a lifetime of selfdelusion. We would begin with trivial matters until he grows accustomed to hearing truth than to hearing his own bullshit. For instance, Obama’s inauguration crowd was several times the size of yours would be a good first approach. I mean, even Trump, doesn’t need to hear Your wife married you for no other reason than money, and Your children are foppish idiots who will blow whatever questionable fortune there may be out their asses before your first parole hearing.

Later on, when he is toughened up enough to hear more substantial matters, he can be informed that Hillary is still greatly admired by people around the world, and America has enthusiastically joined the modern world in confronting global warming, and The day you entered prison has been turned into a national holiday, and Everything you think you accomplished in your brief presidency has been overturned, undone, negated and flushed down the crapper into ignominy, and Your name will go down in history as a synonym for “fool.”

Oh, and one more thing. He may be allowed a Twitter account, but only if his tweets return to him alone, with all false statements highlighted in yellow and annotated by Barack Obama personally.

MONEY FOR NOTHING My family has been in Twin Falls County since it arrived from the Basque Country in 1910. I pay over $6,000 a year in property taxes alone, so I will complain about the Twin Falls County Prosecutor, a bureaucrat who feeds at the public trough, all I want. My house was shot up three times in two years, and my wife was nearly killed by a bullet that came through the front door. No one was ever charged with these attempted murders. When I raised this travesty to the

prosecutor, all I got was a belligerent, sarcastic laugh.

That was it for me with this arrogant, self-centered public servant. In the last year, a stolen pickup driven by meth addicts crashed through my fence and the occupants fled. Then they stole another vehicle. Once again, no one has been charged, and I had to rebuild my fence myself.

I am sick and tired of this incompetent prosecutor, do-nothing law enforcement and the Republicans here feeding off my tax dollars, and I get nothing in return. I will only support third party

POLARIZING ISSUE Grizzly bears get taken off the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s “threatened” list and the National Rifle Association and Safari Club International fall all over themselves to make the same tired, discredited arguments for killing them.

But improving public safety?

That’s a new one. Grizzlies are solitary animals who mostly eat nuts, berries, fruit and roots. They don’t like being surprised. There’s a simple way to keep safe: Treat bears with respect, not as targets. When are these bullies going to just come out and say they get their kicks from slaughtering animals?

Pride Foundation grant helps expand Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial

The F-35s will likely be stationed in Wisconsin or Alabama.

GOWEN FIELD NAMED “REASONABLE ALTERNATIVE,” PASSED OVER FOR F-35 MISSION

SAM WONACOT T In early December 2017, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the latest national case involving gay rights, underscoring that the fight for LGBTQ equality remains unfinished. Even as the Court deliberates, equal rights will take a step forward in Idaho with the opening of the Marilyn Shuler Classroom for Human Rights at the Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial, thanks in part to a $6,000 grant from the Seattle-based Pride Foundation.

“What is happening today with the Supreme Court reviewing the case around Masterpiece Cakeshop [and] whether or not LGBTQ people can be given the same service as other people in public accommodations like bakeries is really important, and it’s not that different from what happened in the past,” said Gunner Scott, director of programs at the Pride Foundation. “Unless we learn history, it’s going to repeat itself, and this [classroom] is a way for people to know LGBT history in Idaho.”

The covered outdoor classroom, named for celebrated Idaho human rights activist Marilyn Shuler, who died in the spring of 2017, will seat around 30 people and explain human rights in Idaho in a new way, using a touchscreen kiosk loaded with 13 short videos highlighting pivotal moments in Idaho human rights history. Each

In August 2017, more than 200 people attended a Boise vigil following events in Charlottesville, Virginia, at the site of the future Marilyn Shuler Classroom for Human Rights.

video will be narrated by someone with ties to the group under discussion.

Rep. John McCrostie (D-Garden City), one of the first openly gay politicians elected to the Idaho Legislature, will narrate a Pride Foundation-funded video guiding viewers through two notworthy moments in the Idaho LGBTQ fight for equality: the “Boys of Boise” scandal in 1955 and the defeat of Proposition 1 in 1994, when Idahoans rejected a ballot initiative that would have denied minority status to lesbians and gay men.

The Wassmuth Center for Human rights is overseeing the memorial expansion, and for Dan Prinzing, its director, the ultimate purpose of the new classroom is to ensure no one is left out of a Memorial dedicated to human rights.

“I have a singular goal in this whole project,” said Prinzing. “... I want everyone and anyone who steps into the memorial to find themselves.”

That may be a hefty task, as according to

“ME TOO” MOVEMENT CONTINUES TO RAISE AWARENESS FOR VICTIMS OF SEXUAL MISCONDUCT Chances are, the words “me too” have been popping up on your social media feed for months now, used as a way for sexual assault and harassment victims to share their stories with the online community. Although the height of the movement has come and gone, its roots and reverberations are still making an impact nationwide.

According to The New York Times, the messages started appearing frequently on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook on Oct. 15, 2017, after actress Alyssa Milano posted a screenshot proposing the movement with the caption “If you’ve been sexually harassed or assaulted write ‘me too’ as a reply to this tweet.” Technically though, the campaign started approximately a decade ago when activist Tarana Burke began using the words “me too” to spread healing messages to survivors of trauma. Burke’s youth organization, Just Be Inc., said the movement was intended to give victims of sexual abuse, assault, or exploitation a sense of empowerment, and remind them that they aren’t alone. Ten years later, that essence remains in Burke’s words.

CITYDESK

Boise Parks and Recreation, over 250 people pass through the memorial each day. Much of the space will be closed beginning in January 2018 as construction crews work to install the classroom and shift the Greenbelt entrance closer to the Cabin Literary Center. When construction is finished in April, the memorial will feature new signage, additional quotes on the quote wall and a water feature designed by local artist Ken McCall, known for designing the metal trees outside the Inn at 500 Capitol.

Prinzing said he included the defeat of Proposition 1 in the Pride Foundation-funded video because it shows communities can rise up against injustice.

“It said, ‘This is a victory that people can stand up for,’” Prinzing said, “and I think that certainly is an important message now, that people can stand up, can mobilize together to confront hate [and] bigotry.”

Gender Equity Center at Boise State University, said the vagueness of the hashtag is one of its strengths.

“The #metoo movement isn’t specific to rape or sexual harassment or other forms of sexual violence. This generality allows for some privacy in sharing the hashtag as a survivor—as readers don’t know exactly what type of issue the poster has experienced,” said Bang. “As someone who does violence education as a part of their job, I can attest that folks who don’t regularly engage in conversations about violence often seem to find conversations like this difficult to start, and they feel at a loss for words in how to respond to a disclosure.

Interacting with this hashtag can be a door into that conversation.”

Kelly Miller, executive director of the Idaho Coalition Against Sexual & Domestic Violence, said her organization has seen an increase in survivors seeking assistance since the local #metoo movement began. However, she pointed out that the time of year could also have been a factor in the uptick in those looking for help.

“We know from research that Idaho continues to have a significantly higher rate of sexual assault among high school students, and that college sexual assault is at its peak in the fall semester,” said Miller.

Gowen Field has, for now, been passed over for a mission of state-of-the-art F-35 fighter jets. The U.S. Air Force instead described the Boise airfield as a “reasonable alternative” to the bases it selected as primary choices for the fighters—Truax Field in Wisconsin and Dannelly Field in Alabama.

Though the news came as a blow to city and state leaders, their hopes of having 18-24 F-35s stationed at Gowen isn’t entirely extinguished. Though the Air Force indicated Alabama and Wisconsin are its preferred choices, Boise is not completely out of the running, and environmental impact assessments will still be conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency and a third party to determine whether Gowen Field is a suitable staging area for the aircraft.

“Although we are disappointed that Gowen Field will not receive primary consideration as a site for the F-35 mission, as a reasonable alternative we will undergo the same evaluations as the four other primary and alternative locations,” wrote Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter in a press release.

Other reasonable alternative airfields include Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Michigan and Jacksonville Air Guard Station in Florida.

State and local officials have long pressed for the fighter jets, citing their likely economic impact on Boise and southwestern Idaho. An awareness campaign, Gowen Strong, was created to gin up public approval for a fighter wing being stationed at the field.

Their efforts, however, were bitterly opposed by neighborhood associations and people living near the airport. Monty Mericle, a member Citizens for a Livable Boise, a group that cropped up to oppose the mission, said the jets would “tear this community apart,” and when city leaders were invited to a CLB-organized event in June, none attended, claiming community meetings discussing the mission had been “hijacked” by CLB members.

In part, the consternation was caused by a lack of research into how the jets might affect people living near Gowen Field—research that will now be conducted as part of the upcoming environmental impact assessments.

AND THE WINNERS ARE...

There was an unusually high number of entries to the Boise Weekly Fiction 101 Contest this year—180 in all. Among them, the mainstay themes of love, forgiveness, remembrance and nature jockeyed with others ejected from the collective unconscious like blaming mothers, spurned lovers and dead dogs.

The contest has always been a windsock of the social mood, and fortunately we scored five talented judges to pick the winners. This year, they numbered Rediscovered Books Coowner Laura DeLaney, Idaho Commission on the Arts Literature Director Jocelyn Robertson, local author Christian Winn, Boise Public Library librarian RE Zichau and The Cabin Executive Director Kurt Zwolfer.

They gathered at BW headquarters on a cold night in early December 2017 to make their selections, which are printed below. For the full Fiction 101 experience, however, don’t miss the reading party graciously hosted at Rediscovered Books on Thursday, Jan. 4, where readings of the winning stories will take place while the audience snacks on goodies from the Basque Market. A grand time will be had by all—we hope to see you there.

SHARON HANSON, BOISE

With her teeny-tiny rake Merilee scratches the driveway, scarlet fish-shaped leaves slipping through tines like salmon negotiating fish ladders. Kneeling, then prostrate, the teeny-tiny girl tunnels inside the streamlined leaf pile, propels the current. Overhead, the careless breeze ripples clouds like whitecaps.

When her father’s pickup rolled over the driveway, he heard the unnatural—more fish bones than linden leaves.

“BURY MY HEART AT 16TH & MAIN”

She fondles an orange, slowly undressing it against the sand. In the ground she feels the faraway hum of movement. It stirs in her something rich and dusty, an instinct, a memory triggered by the summer dung haze: she and her mother fanning themselves, listening to the desperate crackling of their own skin.

“We move forever. Our feet rotate the earth,” her mother said.

She can taste the thrum of her ancestor’s march. Laziness evaporates. She breaks through the fence. Monkeys applaud, zebras bray and buck. On the news they report the strange phenomenon of an elephant strolling down the freeway.

“JUST LIKE A MOTHER”

—AMBER SAYLOR, BOISE

Maybe it was raining. Weasel and I ducked inside for shots and a pitcher. We were wrecked and chasing your ghost. The lead singer for Wooden Indian Burial Ground was wearing an electric green balaclava and screaming like God was closing in with a pitchfork.

Vivian flicked a grocery clerk’s nose after he’d given her the wrong change. Public outbursts were fueled by high expectations.

Her therapist warned her that her son would imitate her behavior.

The sound dislodged my lungs, my heart, my spleen. They were crocodiles loose inside my skin and struggling for places to rest.

While Vivian was pregnant she’d spilled bleach on her abdomen and claimed David would have a white spot in his hair. Indeed, he had a quarter-sized colorless patch next to his left temple.

“To Wooden Indians!” I raised my whisky to Weasel who replied, “Bury them.”

The dance floor was a battle ground. I forgot who and where I was and that I’d never see you again.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

As an adult David rubbed bleach in small circles on his wife’s growing belly while she slept. He didn’t believe this equated to his mother’s level of madness, it was merely a loving attempt to validate her.

“I STILL REMEMBER”

—PETER SILVA, BOISE

He wondered often about Jenny, his first, truest love. She symbolized everything he’d lost or forgotten over the years. She loved life passionately, without fear. She laughed freely, her life force shining always through kind eyes and soulful smiles. Her sweetness buoyed her exuberant humor. She dreamt aloud and waxed yearningly about life’s possibilities. She knew, instinctively, the magic of youth and closeness to source was fleeting, so she soaked up everything and laid herself open to the world. She gave her love away. We parted long ago, she to eternal grace, I to dark despair. I miss us both, everyday.

“STARLET”

—JSP JACOBS, HUNTINGTON BEACH, CALIFORNIA

She was so famous, girls dressed like her for Halloween. Then she got older, hungrier. Her body wouldn’t hold. Directors poked her belly. She left Hollywood and graduated with a Ph.D. in geology.

Now, she crawls, bare-faced and wide-bottomed, inside craters, her hands full of ancient dirt.

A colleague asks her to autograph an old poster of herself.

“This used to be taped over my bed,” he smiles.

“I used to eat nothing but Chapstick,” she says.

He stares at the poster, tongue-lolled, like she isn’t even there, like she isn’t the same as every mineral—hard enough to scratch itself.

“CATS”

—ALLISON MAIER, BOISE

I’ve been dreaming of forgotten cats. Goldeneyed assemblies crying from hidden corners, haunting empty cupboards, scratching at my sleeping soul. They are starving and wild, and I don’t remember where they came from or if I ever knew. I crash through the house in postslumber delirium, inspecting rooms and calling to ghosts.

The dog is waiting when I return to bed. As we face each other in darkness, I wonder if we’re trading subconscious anguish—if unrequited loves and unmet expectations now enter her nightmares. If it’s the reason I wake each morning to find her curled so close against me.

“GOOD HOUSEKEEPING” —ROS ANNE JOHNS ON, BOIS E

I was stunned for a second until I heard her laugh. The shock of the snowball hitting my face made me inhale an unintelligible profanity, trip backwards, and fall on my ass. It was a wet one, packed way up in my nose, and I had to farmer-snort a couple of times to blow the snow out, wondering if there was any blood in it. A sucker punch. We’d driven across four states on that marathon day, the last one in the dark, to her parents’ place. I thought, if she didn’t love me she would have just gone straight inside.

A foul odor hit her as Mercedes unlocked the door into this week’s bachelor filth. There he was, sitting at his computer, naked, bloated and blue. “Ayii! Está muerto!”

Police asked, “Who was here?” No one—Señor had no friends. They wouldn’t let her clean the moldy dishes, the crusty used tissues at his feet. He weighed how much? Heart attack, obviously, and who noticed the tiniest speck of blood just under the breastbone? Mercedes dressed carefully for the service, shoes polished, good dress pressed, and her best black hat, held firmly in place by her grandmother’s fine Spanish steel hatpin.

SKYLER LUTES, JAN. 9, THE SHREDDER San Diego native Skyler Lutes uses his experience growing up on the coast as fodder for his music, which leans heavily on a fusion of rock and reggae rhythms, putting out what he calls “a decidedly surf or beach vibe.” A lifelong musician, Lutes formed his first band while still in middle school. Listening to his music, it seems Lutes never lost that childhood optimism; Even songs about relationships gone wrong, like “Oh No,” from his most recent album, After the Rain (self-released, 2016) have a bright thread running through them, helped along by Lutes’ pure tenor and spirited acoustic guitar riffs. On Tuesday, Jan. 9, Lutes will bring his ocean sound to The Shredder in Boise for an acoustic show guaranteed to create the feeling of summer, whatever the temperature outside.

—Lex Nelson With Nick Serrano. 7 p.m., FREE. The Shredder, 430 S. 10th St., 208-345-4355, shredderboise.com.

FOOD

Julie D’Agostino (right) coordinates a food donation with Linda Dixon (left), a board member and volunteer for the daytime shelter Corpus Christi House.

GIVE SMART How to maximize your charitable donation LE X NEL SON The holidays may be over, but the need for charitable donations never ends. Julie D’Agostino, owner of food recovery business Rolling Tomato, and Rick Bollman, operations coordinator at the daytime shelter Corpus Christi House, understand not knowing how or what to give can prevent people from giving at all. They put together this handy list of tips to help you and the nonprofit organization(s) you’re supporting get the most out of your generosity.

GENERAL TIPS FOR DONATING

1. Check to see if the nonprofit has a “wishlist” of specific items it needs. The best place to start is on the organization’s website.

2. If you can’t find a wishlist, call the nonprofit and ask if it’s in need of what you have to give.

It may need it at a later date, so this will help maximize your donation by making sure you donate what the organization really needs, when it needs it. As a bonus, offer to help create a wishlist and keep it updated throughout the year.

3. Don’t drop items off at the curb. Schedule a time with a contact person for delivery and make sure to give your items only to staff members (unless otherwise instructed). Get a receipt.

4. Cash is king—and queen, too. If you’re unsure of what to give or unable to source what a nonprofit needs, money is the most flexible gift so they can buy what is truly needed.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

TIPS FOR DONATING FOOD

1. Keep in mind that candy, cookies, cakes and sweets in general are not needed by organizations that feed the hungry and food insecure. They need protein, produce and other nutrient-dense foods. Consider giving sweets to organizations that host social activities instead, and always call first to check if your food donation is appropriate.

2. Be sure to label and date your food donation.

If possible, list the ingredients and include instructions for preparation or reheating.

Sometimes volunteers prepare meals and directions will ensure the food is served at its best.

TIPS FOR DONATING TIME

1. Ask a nonprofit what kind of help it needs, whether it’s for a special event, weekly meal assistance or a special project. You could even offer to put together a team to tackle a big job.

2. Most nonprofits operate year round, so consider volunteering outside of the popular holiday season between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Summer can come with a shortage of volunteers, so remember to ask when you’d be most needed.

3. Use your professional and personal skills to benefit the organization. Tell the nonprofit about your talents and ask how you can help.

Maybe you can teach a class, organize a project, assist with accounting, help with construction/ painting, give haircuts, or whatever else best uses your strengths.

4. Beyond all of these tips, always remember the most important thing is your willingness to give. Don’t let anxiety about the process keep you from donating or volunteering in 2018: Nonprofits are always happy to have help.

HBO was a household name even before it brought George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones to life, but since then it has ascended to devotionary status. Die-hard HBO users will be happy to know the network is going back to basics for the new year, and brought aboard classics like the eight-movie Harry Potter saga; the three-movie Back to the Future series; holiday mainstay A Christmas Carol; side-splitting comedies Honey, I Shrunk the Kids and Honey, I Blew Up the Kids; off-beat rom-com (500) Days of Summer; Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Kindergarten Cop and more on Jan. 1. New original programs are also on the way, including David Bowie: The Last Five Years; The Number on Great-Grandpa’s Arm; Mosaic and May It Last: A Portrait of the Avett Brothers.

Plus, season premieres of Crashing (Season 2); Divorce (Season 2), High Maintenance (Season 2) and Real Time With Bill Maher (Season 16) will be up before the end of the month. Check hbo.com to learn more.

#boiseweeklypic

FIND

$GYLFH IRU WKRVH RQ WKH YHUJH PERSISTENCE DEAR MINERVA, As 2017 is ending, and we’re about to start 2018, I’ve never felt this afraid in my life. The world has changed a great deal in just one year. I feel like I’m clinging to a lot of negativity. I feel helpless as to how to change this world as it careens into hopelessness. I’m angry but paralyzed by the fear that comes with it.

Sincerely, Uneasy

DEAR UNEASY,

ORGANIC SURVIVAL SEED VAULT

I know you aren’t alone in how you’re feeling—2017 has been a doozy, and every day, the headlines seem more and more bleak.

This isn’t the first time in history there have been dark times. While I understand and empathize with the heavy burden it feels like we are carrying, I do have some suggestions. Keep doing good things.

It is hard to see what good can be done when the big picture looks so daunting. Get out into your life and your community. Help those around you. Change can start small, and living your convictions in your own community helps spread love and joy. Avoid screaming into the void. A lot of pain comes from constantly interacting with people you disagree with on social media. Funnel that energy into creating a better life in real life. Don’t stop enjoying things. As Lana Del Rey sings, “When the world was at war before, we just kept dancing.” Don’t stop doing the things that makes life worth living and fighting for. Integrity, authenticity and fierce persistence are always in style.

With the way international tensions and natural disasters have mounted in recent months, on some days it seems an apocalyptic event must be just over the horizon. If that’s a familiar feeling for you, it might be wise to make “Prep for the Worst” one of your New Year’s resolutions for 2018. A solid first step $29.95, or $99.80 for four, available online at mypatriotsupply.com. would be to send away for an Organic Survival Seed Vault, a military-grade mylar container packed with 21 varieties of USDA organic heirloom seeds. The diversity of seeds, the disaster-proof container they’re mailed in and their long shelf life (five years at least) will ensure you have a food supply ready to deploy in case disaster strikes, whether it’s natural or man-made. And even if you aren’t prepping for the end of the world, having fruit, vegetable and herb seeds on hand could be useful when you want to cut the cost of grocery store shopping trips.

“WOODSTOCK,” PORTUGAL. THE MAN

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): In 2018, your past will undergo a transformation. Your memories will revise and rearrange themselves.

Bygone events that seemed complete and definitive will shimmy and shift, requiring new interpretations.

The stories you have always told about how you became who you are will have to be edited, perhaps even rewritten. While these overhauls may sometimes be disconcerting, they will ultimately be liberating.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In 2018, people will be drawn to you even more than usual. Some will want you to be their rock—their steady, stable source of practical truth. Some will ask you to be their tonic—their regular, restorative dose of no-nonsense. And others will find in you a creative catalyst that helps them out of their ruts and into their grooves. And what will you receive in return for providing such a stellar service? First, there will be many opportunities to deepen and refine your integrity. To wield that much influence means you will have to consistently act with high-minded motivations. And secondly, Taurus, you’ll get a steady supply of appreciation that will prove useful as well as gratifying.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Influences that oppose you will fade as 2018 unfolds. People who have been resistant and uncooperative will at least partially disengage. To expedite the diminishing effects of these influences and people, avoid struggling with them. Loosen the grip they have on your imagination.

Any time they leak into your field of awareness, turn your attention instead to an influence or person that helps and supports you. Here’s another idea about how to collaborate with the cosmic rhythms to reduce the conflict in your life: Eliminate any unconscious need you might have for the perversely invigorating energy provided by adversaries and bugaboos. Find positive new ways to motivate yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I predict that in 2018 you will figure out how to get your obsessions to consistently work for your greatest good. You will come to understand what you must do to ensure they never drag you down into manic self-sabotage. The resolute ingenuity you summon to accomplish this heroic feat will change you forever.

You will be reborn into a more vibrant version of your life. Passions that in the past have drained and confused you will become efficient sources of fuel for your worthiest dreams.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Just because you have become accustomed to a certain trouble doesn’t mean you should stop searching for relief from that

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

BY ROB BREZSNY

trouble. Just because a certain pain no longer knocks you into a demoralized daze for days at a time doesn’t mean it’s good for you. Now here’s the good news: In 2018, you can finally track down the practical magic necessary to accomplish a thorough healing of that trouble and pain. Make this the year you find a more ultimate cure.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Have you ever nursed a yearning to speak Swahili or Chinese or Russian? The coming months will be an excellent time to get that project underway. Do you fantasize about trying exotic cuisines and finding new favorite foods? I invite you to act on that fantasy in 2018.

Is there a form of manual labor that would be tonic for your mental and physical health? Life is giving you a go-ahead to do more of it. Is there a handicraft or ball game you’d like to become more skilled at? Get started. Is there a new trick you’d like to learn to do with your mouth or hands? Now’s the time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Before the 15th century, European nations confined their sailing to the Mediterranean Sea. The ocean was too rough for their fragile, unadaptable ships. But around 1450, the Portuguese developed a new kind of vessel, the caravel. It employed a triangular sail that enabled it to travel against the wind. Soon, exploratory missions ventured into the open sea and down along the coast of West Africa. Eventually, this new technology enabled long westward trips across the Atlantic.

I propose that we make the caravel your symbol of power for 2018, Libra. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will find or create a resource that enables you to do the metaphorical equivalent of effectively sailing into the wind.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The Aztecs were originally wanderers. They kept moving from place to place, settling temporarily in areas throughout the land we now call Mexico. An old prophecy told them that they would eventually find a permanent home at a site where they saw an eagle roosting on a cactus as it clutched a snake in its talons. There came a day in the fourteenth century when members of the tribe spied this very scene on an island in the middle of a lake.

That’s where they began to build the city that in time was the center of their empire. I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, so it can serve as a metaphor to guide you in 2018. I suspect that you, too, will discover your future power spot—the heart of your domain for years to come.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Not every minute of every day, but when you have had the time, you’ve been searching for a certain

treasure. With patience and persistence, you have narrowed down its whereabouts by collecting clues and following your intuition. Now, at last, you know its exact location.

As you arrive, ready to claim it, you tremble with anticipation. But when you peel away the secrets in which it has been wrapped, you see that it’s not exactly what you expected. Your first response is disappointment.

Nevertheless, you decide to abide in the presence of the confusing blessing and see what happens. Slowly, incrementally, you become aware of a new possibility: that you’re not quite ready to understand and use the treasure; that you’ll have to grow new capacities before you’ll be ready for it in its fullness.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Soulful beauty will be a major theme for you in 2018. Or at least it should be. But I suppose it’s possible you’re not very interested in soulful beauty, perhaps even bored by it. Maybe you prefer skin-deep beauty or expensive beauty or glamorous beauty. If you choose to follow predilections like those, you’ll lose out on tremendous opportunities to grow wilder and wiser. But let’s hope you make yourself available for a deeper, more provocative kind of beauty—a beauty that you could become more skilled at detecting as the year unfolds.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Let your freak flag fly” was an expression that arose from the hippie culture of the 1960s and 1970s. It was a colorful way to say, “Be your most unique and eccentric self; show off your idiosyncrasies with uninhibited pride.” I propose that we revive it for your use in 2018. I suspect the coming months will be a favorable time for you to cultivate your quirks and trust your unusual impulses. You should give yourself maximum freedom to explore pioneering ideas and maverick inclinations. Paradoxically, doing so will lead to stabilizing and enduring improvements in your life.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In accordance with the astrological omens, I suggest you start compiling a list entitled, “People, Places, Ideas, and Things I Didn’t Realize Until Now That I Could Fall in Love With.” And then keep adding more and more items to this tally during the next ten months. To get the project underway in the proper spirit, you should wander freely and explore jauntily, giving yourself permission to instigate interesting mischief and brush up against deluxe temptations. For best results, open your heart and your eyes as wide as you can. One further clue: Act on the assumption that in 2018 you will be receptive to inspirational influences and life-transforming teachings that you have never before been aware of.
