EDITOR’S NOTE BEST OF BOISE, AVALANCHES, A CASTLE, A NEIGHBORHOOD JEWEL AND TWO LINCOLNS Folks, we can’t stress this enough: Best of Boise ballots are now open, and it’s time to start casting votes for your favorites. Just go to boiseweekly.com and look for the Best of Boise banner. Ballots close Monday, April 30.

In other news, in this issue we put an unexpected spin on a well-known fact: that Idahoans are outdoorsy people, skiing is one of their most beloved pursuits, and plenty of adventurers take their passion for powder to the backcountry. As it turns out, those daredevils have been flirting with mortal danger. Idaho is undergoing a warming trend that increases the risk of avalanches, and only a handful of backcountry enthusiasts receive avalanche safety training. In this issue, freelance writer Drew Dodson profiles Santiago “Chago” Rodriguez, a snow scientist who teaches backcountry safety. It’s a lively story (pages 6-8) and a sobering report on how a snowy day can turn deadly.

We also give you a sneak peak of The James Castle House, which has been lovingly restored by a team from the Boise City Department of Arts & History. Ahead of the Saturday, April 28, public opening and ribbon cutting ceremony, Staff Writer Lex Nelson and I toured the house to tell an unusual story about a city honoring a local artist and turning his former home into a cultural site. Read more on page 22.

News Editor George Prentice has done double duty in the Citizen section this week. Chelsea Gaona-Lincoln and her stepfather, David Lincoln, are both running for seats in the Idaho House—but one is a left-leaning Democrat, and the other a right-leaning Republican. On page 26, read about what Thanksgivings are like at the Lincoln house and why sometimes there are better things to talk about than politics.

Finally, Petite 4, the new French bistro-inspired eatery on the Bench, opened its doors for the first time last week. The brainchild of the folks behind Bleubird, it’s already a pilgrimage site for Boise foodies. Check out our review on page 24.

WITH GREAT POWDER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY Chago Rodriguez aims to flip the script on backcountry navigation DREW DODSON

White, smoke-like plumes of powder puffed behind Santiago “Chago” Rodriguez at every turn as he cruised down a slope near Mores Creek Summit, an area deep in the mountains north of Idaho City. His whoops and hollers echoed around towering peaks and faded in narrow gullies.

Rodriguez may know these mountains better than anyone else on the planet. Mores Creek Summit, as indicated by a sign at the side of Idaho State Highway 21, is a winter sports playground for snowmobilers, snowshoers and backcountry skiers. To Rodriguez, this place is much more.

6 | APRIL 18–24, 2018 | BOISEweekly

“That’s where my kids grew up with me,” he said. “To this day when we get together, we know that … when they come to visit [we’re] going to Mores Creek Summit.”

Rodriguez has a strong emotional attachment to the place, and feels a sense of personal responsibility for its well-being and that of the people who use it. Born and raised in Puerto Rico, Rodriguez saw many of his favorite surfing destinations close to the public due to abuse by the very surfers who purportedly treasured them. For Mores Creek Summit and dozens of other Park-N’-Ski areas sprinkled across the state, access could be severely limited or lost

entirely should misuse or abuse cause the Idaho Department of Transportation to simply opt out of plowing pull-outs along the highway. Since relocating to Boise in 1992 and being introduced to Mores Creek Summit shortly thereafter, Rodriguez knew he’d stumbled on a gem and was determined to protect it.

“It was just love at first sight,” he said. “I recognized it was a special place, similar to the beach in Puerto Rico. I could find my solitude.

It was a place of comfort, a place of thought—a special place.”

Following years of backcountry skiing in total ignorance of avalanche danger, Rodriguez re-

ceived a wakeup call during one of his first trips to Mores Creek Summit, when he and a friend triggered a series of dangerous slides.

“It was terrifying,” he said. “We never thought it could happen while we were there… I am alive today by luck.”

Since then, Rodriguez has dedicated his life to avalanche education, teaching field courses in Alaska, Colorado, Chile, Idaho and Spain, and has kept a blog for the last 10 years about Mores Creek Summit snowpack conditions. Five years ago, he began attending Boise State University to earn his PhD in snow science, and he now teaches snow science courses there in addition to B O ISE WE E KLY.C O M

“It was just love at first sight. I recognized it was a special place.”

running his avalanche education business, Avalanche Science, which he operates out of Idaho City. The hope is to help other backcountry users avoid potentially fatal mistakes that he himself made as a young skier.

In the last decade, avalanche science has advanced rapidly. The prevailing theory, anti-crack theory, didn’t even exist until eight years ago, when it was presented at a biennial International Snow Science Workshop in Alaska, a conference Rodriguez himself attended. According to the theory, anti-cracks, or cavities in the snowpack that can expand when snowpack compresses, create instabilities that can cause massive, dangerous slides.

Armed with this theory, Karl Birkeland, an avalanche scientist with the U.S. Forest Service National Avalanche Center, advanced the use of compression tests like the column and extended column tests in forecasting avalanche danger. Unlike the previously popular shovel-shear test, these tests are designed to both test the snowpack for failure from forces known to trigger avalanches and predict their severity.

“You can argue I’m alive because of him,” said Rodriguez about Birkeland. “I and many others owe our safety to him.”

Despite a better working theory for forecasting slides, fatality rates due to avalanches continue to climb. Data from the Colorado Avalanche Information Center (CAIC), which has tracked every B OI S E WEEKLY.C O M

reported avalanche fatality in the United States since 1950, shows that over the last 30 years the average annual number of deaths from avalanches has risen from 18 to 26. Correspondingly, there have been a total of 1,047 avalanche deaths in the United States, with 25.8 percent of those deaths occurring in the last decade. That rate puts the number of avalanche fatalities expected in an equivalent 67-year window at a staggering 2,010, nearly double the 1,047 observed between 1950 and 2017. Rodriguez attributes the staggering increase to more people recreating in the backcountry.

Another factor increasing the danger for recreators is the warming trend Idaho and other western states have experienced for the last several years. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, average temperatures in Idaho have risen by 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit since 2000. While that increase may seem inconsequential, it has huge implications for snowpack stability. Variable weather and frequent temperature changes weaken bonds between layers in the snowpack, making avalanches more likely.

“Change in climate exacerbates the stratification of the snowpack,” said Rodriguez. “The more you stratify, the closer you are to having an avalanche problem.”

Even skiers using resort-serviced chairlifts can find themselves in danger when the allure of deep powder beckons them beyond boundary ropes

“I could find my solitude. It was a palce of comfort, a palce of thought—a special place.”

and backcountry gates. Those venturing into this “side country” terrain are often under the false impression that rescue is nearby and avalanches are unlikely so close to groomed trails, yet according to CAIC, 75 skiers died in side country avalanches between 1950 and 2007. There have been 28 such fatalities since 2008, putting side country avalanche fatalities on pace surpass 170 by the end of an equivalent 57-year period.

“It’s just as dangerous [as backcountry],” said Rodriguez. “You leave the boundaries at Bogus, it’s just as dangerous as Mores Creek Summit or Red Mountain Pass or Golden Mountain in British Columbia.”

To Rodriguez, the root of the problem is that people make decisions with poor situational awareness, putting themselves into peril. But despite the frightening statistics and increased accessibility to backcountry education, interest in courses like the ones Rodriguez offers remains inconsistent, particularly in Idaho.

“These areas do have avalanche danger. Avalanches do happen here,” he said, adding, “And that’s part of the problem: People don’t think it happens here.”

As winter slips into spring in central Idaho mountain ranges, above-freezing temperatures will introduce water into the snowpack, making conditions ideal for avalanches to claim more lives. This increased water content in the snowpack acts as potential energy waiting for a trig-

ger—natural or man-made—to release a powerful avalanche. For that reason, safe and informed navigation is even more critical for backcountry users in spring conditions.

Education may help make mountains safer for recreators, though. Rodriguez believes the majority of accidents could have been prevented by a simple level one avalanche training course, but once a victim is fully buried in an avalanche, there’s only a 50 percent survival rate.

“You cannot eliminate those statistics, but I think we can significantly reduce your chances [currently 10 percent] of being buried,” said Rodriguez. “I strive for every one of my students to come out prepared to violate that statistic.”

During his classes, Rodriguez’s students skin up slopes to enjoy the next powder-filled run until he sends them on an unexpected, frenzied search for a transceiver signal coming from within the snowpack. Employing the triangle formation transceiver screening technique to hone in on the “victim” and using probing techniques taught in the classroom, students hurry to pinpoint the location of the signal and begin an excavation.

Meanwhile, Rodriguez keeps one eye on them and the other on his watch—rescues taking longer than five minutes result in yet another one of these impromptu drills.

That’s not all Rodriguez does to pre8 pare his students to stay safe. Before even setting foot in the backcountry, Rodriguez BOISEweekly | APRIL 18–24, 2018 | 7

the two skinned up to Pilot Peak, a place they’ve enjoyed together for more than 10 years. At some point along the way, they bumped into a family taking their young daughter snowmobiling, just as Rodriguez took Pedro backcountry skiing at Mores Creek Summit starting at age 11. Rodriguez can’t help but drift back to those euphoric days with his son. In a blog post, he wrote about memories like the time he and Pedro spotted entrance tracks without exit tracks into the path of an avalanche and decided to search for potentially buried skiers in dangerous terrain, and the time Rodriguez playfully released a small slide and buried Pedro up to his chest, much to his chagrin. With Pedro away at college, these memories and the lessons learned at Mores Creek Summit have become that much more meaningful to Rodriguez.

Most days Rodriguez can still be found teaching these same lessons to people young and old, whether he’s in Idaho or somewhere halfway around the world. To most skiers, finding new terrain on new mountains with new lines to shred is the holy grail of the sport, but each year, when winter descends upon Mores Creek Summit and Rodriguez returns home, the whooping gets a little louder, the hollering a little jollier and the grin a little broader. “[Pedro and I] have continued to ski tour in Colorado,” Rodriguez wrote in his Tour of Memories blog post, “But it’s not the same when you’re in a place with so many memories.”

“This is one of the best times to get educated because we’re finally understanding it.”

stresses the importance of discussing every detail of each trip, including any 7 personal problems or personality traits in the group that could impact decisionmaking for the day. Students are also required to keep detailed daily journals of expected avalanche problems, medical information, evacuation routes, snow pit and stability test observations, goals for the day and more.

Rodriguez makes a point to educate his students on backcountry etiquette, including proper use of the limited parking spots along the highway.

“Get educated,” said Rodriguez. “This is one of the best times to get educated because we’re finally understanding it.”

Though winter is winding down in Idaho backcountry, Rodriguez said he still has work to do. He’ll teach courses at Mores Creek Summit and ski other mountains in Central Idaho well into May while he wraps up his snow science classes at Boise State. Then at the end of May, he’ll turn the clock back and head to South America to teach avalanche courses in Chile, where terrain and snowpack conditions vary dramatically from those in Idaho. Rodriguez’s commitment to both educate backcountry users and protect his favorite places remains steadfast.

“Just leave the place better than it was before,” he said, noting the fragility of backcountry access. “Can you imagine if we all do that?”

In February, Rodriguez embarked on his annual “Tour of Memories” trip to Mores Creek Summit with his son, Pedro. On a cloudless day,

Denim Day is Wednesday, April 25.

A PERFECT FIT

Why Denim Day means so much to the WCA GRE TA GARDNER It’s as simple as throwing on a pair of jeans— literally. That said, advocates at the Women’s and Children’s Alliance say Denim Day, which this year will be Wednesday, April 25, is a perfect fit for their mission to raise awareness of the danger of sexual assault.

The worldwide campaign started in 1992, when an 18-year-old Italian woman was picked up at her home by a middle-aged driving instructor her parents had hired. The male instructor drove the young woman away from her town, raped her and threatened to harm her family if she told anyone. The victim eventually told authorities, but the rapist’s conviction was overturned by the Italian Supreme Court because the victim had worn tight jeans. Following the ruling and the freeing of the rapist, a number of women, all wearing jeans, staged a protest at the Italian Parliament.

“It’s one of the most ‘good/horrible’ stories I’ve ever heard,” said Chris Davis, WCA Communications Manager. “A young woman was with someone in a position of trust, and he completely violated and threatened her. They let him go because of what she was wearing.”

The WCA began observing Denim Day in 2014. Since then, the nonprofit organization has designed several posters, stickers and ribbons—all available on its website—that promote the event, and it has received an influx of orders, many coming from outside Idaho, for the promotional items. Davis praised the amount of local support for the event, including from some high-profile Idahoans.

“We’ve just heard that this year, a number of branches of the the National Guard are participating, so they’ll get to wear jeans on [April] 25th, Davis said. “That takes a lot, for National Guard Adjutant General [Michael] Garshak and Governor [C.L. “Butch”] Otter to sign a formal memo saying to the Guard [that] they can leave their uniforms at home on that day.”

The WCA is encouraging the public to participate in Denim Day as a way to facilitate conversations surrounding sexual assault, harassment and victim-blaming. Davis said although sexual assault is still a topic people shy away from addressing, related issues have edged into the limelight in the wake of the #MeToo movement.

“All of us really need to be focusing on the dangers of victim-blaming,” she said.

To keep the dialogue relevant, the WCA listed a few ways to spread awareness, including talking about Denim Day at work, at home and on social media using the hashtags #DenimDay and #WCABoise.

“I heard the best quote the other day from Elizabeth Smart,” said Davis, referring to the author who visited Boise on April 5, and was herself a victim of kidnapping and rape.

“Elizabeth said, ‘It doesn’t matter if a victim is a prostitute, it doesn’t matter if she’s a waitress, it doesn’t matter what she does for a living, it doesn’t matter if she’s out late drinking—nobody wakes up in the morning and wants to be raped. Nobody plans on doing that, and nobody deserves that.’”

LEX NELSON AND BRIAN MILLAR Angela Hemingway, executive director of the Idaho STEM Action Center, had more than 60 slides of data at her disposal when she presented her argument for getting more girls into science, technology, engineering and mathematics to members of the Cosmos Coffee Club on April 2.

Despite the jargon, the big takeaway was simple: To get more girls interested in STEM, there need to be more women in STEM they can look up to.

“From what the young women themselves say, they really need female role models,” said Hemingway. “They need to talk to a woman computer scientist and have her [answer questions like], ‘What do you do? How are you influencing people? How are you changing lives?’”

Although the two-year-old Action Center is a fairly new agency in the governor’s office, it has pushed a host of new initiatives in an attempt to fill the gap in the Idaho economy created by unfilled STEM jobs. According to Hemingway, 6,000 jobs in STEM were left vacant in 2017 alone, leaving $355 million of personal income unclaimed. The solution, she said, is empowering young women to join STEM fields. According to survey-based Economics and Statistics Administration calculations, only 24 percent of STEM jobs are filled by women. “[Young women] want to know that their career, their job, is going to make a difference.

And sometimes they don’t always connect on that same level with a man in that profession.

So we need to continue in our role to provide mentors, role models for these young women, and just bring about awareness as to what these opportunities are, Hemingway said.”

While the Action Center focuses on setting up virtual mentorship programs through its statewide virtual portal, the STEM Action Center Mentorship Portal, another local group is aiming to help women take charge of their personal power and leverage their skills to become leaders in all fields.

The Next Level Women Leaders Conference, a two-day training program founded by a collaboration of four female professionals working to empower their peers, is their platform.

One of the co-founders, Boise-based wardrobe stylist Laura Tully, focuses on image. Fashion is as much about current trends as it is about building wardrobes that help women meet their personal or professional objectives—at least, that’s what B OI S E WEEKLY.C O M

Left to right: Laura Tully, Nancy Buffington, Stacy Ennis and Abbey Lance.

Tully tells her clients. Tully started off in management at J.Crew, then left to pursue her own styling consultancy. As her day job, she goes to clients’ homes, into their closets, and helps them curate a wardrobe that best represents them.

“One of the things that I tell my clients is, ‘I don’t think your clothing is supposed to show up before you,’” said Tully. “I want you to have a presence where you to show up, and your clothing is this awesome wingman that has your back.”

Joining Tully for each training session are cofounders Stacy Ennis, a creative consultant and content strategist; Nancy Buffington, a public speaking trainer and coach; and Abbey Louie, a leadership coach and talent management strategist. The four of them bring different expertise to the conference and touch on all aspects female leadership.

“I lead our final training on redefining the power wardrobe,” said Tully. “[I want attendees] to come away with the confidence and knowledge to create styles fitted to their body, personalities and leadership roles.”

On the first day of each conference, Buffington leads sessions on public speaking and, through a series of exercises, shows attendees how to present themselves as leaders through tactics like body language and voice. Louie leads a session on identifying core values and a mission that can be used as a blueprint for future leadership, and Ennis focuses on messaging strategies to show attendees how to write a professional story or bio. On the second day, the founders join forces for a panel discussion on leadership branding through digital communication.

“We’re willing to have the conversation about hard topics and things that are really challenging,” said Tully. “Being a female leader is very different.

We understand that there are challenges and opportunities and we want to highlight those and use our strength as females to play the game in our own way.”

The four founders met professionally through referrals. Tully once styled Ennis for a TEDx Boise event, and Buffington coached Tully for speaking workshops. Once together, the group began brainstorming ideas to merge their services into a comprehensive training program.

“There was nothing like what we were offering, and we wanted to add that dynamic element, which is the variety of what the four of us do.

That didn’t exist in any type of female leadership training,” said Tully. “We realized the four of us together could create something bigger than what each of us were individually doing.”

The first Next Level Women Leaders Conference training session took place in January at JUMP and was attended by 20 people. Tully, Ennis, Buffington and Louie are already planning a second JUMP session for Thursday, May 17, and Friday, May 18, as well as a September training in Seattle. In the future, the founders hope to expand their reach to more states.

“We have the opportunity to meet some incredible women,” said Tully. “It fills our hearts to be amongst these women and go through a path and journey together. We want women leaders to be armed with actionable strategies and skills fueled by meaningful and transformative insight.”

Residents in Southwest Idaho are wellfamiliar with yellow and orange air alerts issued by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality. It was just last July when Boise saw no fewer than 20 days of yellow alerts, indicating moderate levels of pollution. By August, Boise was blanketed by smoke coming in from a half-dozen major wildfires in the region, triggering a string of orange alerts. And

by September, the DEQ issued a statewide air quality advisory and the Treasure Valley edged up to the dreaded “purple” alert category, indicating “very unhealthy” conditions. As a result, the Boise and West Ada School districts canceled all outside activities and events September 6-8.

In its newly released “State of the Air 2018” report, the American Lung Association gave a “D” grade to Ada County for its high level of ozone. Franklin, Benewah, Lemhi and Shoshone counties also received low marks for their multiple number of “high particle pollution days.” Canyon County did not submit any ozone reports to be included in the analysis.

According to the analysis, ozone pollution worsened significantly compared to the previous report, with the number of total Americans exposed to unhealthy levels of air pollution increasing to more than 133 million people, higher than the 125 million estimated in the 2017 report.

Los Angeles remains the city with the worst ozone pollution. In fact, eight of the top-10 most ozone-polluted cities were in California.

Outside of California, a troubling number of other Western communities made the list of cities most affected by short-term particle pollution, including Salt Lake City (No. 8); Logan, Utah (No. 11); Missoula, Montana (No. 12); Seattle-Tacoma, Washington (No. 15); Yakima, Washington (No. 17); and Eugene, Oregon (No. 24).

The good news for the west is that two cities—Bellingham, Washington, and Casper, Wyoming—were among some of the cleanest cities, with zero high ozone or high particle pollution days, according to the report.

BAM ART OF FASHION SHOW: MATERIAL

When was the last time you turned on the television to see runway-ready models clad head-to-toe in paper, metal, or wood?

Though the answer was probably never, that’s exactly what attendees will see first-hand at Boise Art Museum’s upcoming Art of Fashion Show: Material. BAM challenged designers and artists to create fashionable works out of unconventional materials in six categories: wood, paint, metal, paper, glass or clay. Contestants are also expected to emphasize the attributes of the material through various design elements. The winner will be selected by an audience vote and take home a $500 cash prize. The competition comes in conjunction with the Consider the Source exhibition, and proceeds from the event will go on to support BAM’s educational programs.

6 p.m., $15-25. Boise Art Museum, 670 Julia Davis Drive, 208-345-8330, boiseartmuseum.org 10 | APRIL 18–24, 2018 | BOISEweekly

PICKIN’ BOISE

The owners of Past Blessings Farm near Spokane, Washington, have hosted vintage and artisan markets—what they call “Pickin’ Shows”—on and off their premises since 2004, and their flagship Spokane event in Joe Albi Stadium is now considered the largest outdoor antique show in the area. The Boise event, one of eight affairs in three separate states, will fill two buildings at Expo Idaho with hand-selected vendors from across the western U.S. hawking antiques, vintage items, primitives, and industrial and farmhouse style decor, along with one-of-a-kind pieces that have been made by hand, upcycled or repurposed. Pickin’ Boise—recommended by Prairie Style Magazine, Romantic Country Magazine and more—is a one-stop shop for the “joy of junking.”

The celebration will include free posters by Adam Rosenlund for the first 50 customers, huge sales on used music, sidewalk buskers, a Radio Boise booth and, of course, RSD exclusive releases like limited vinyl pressings and rare cuts by favorite artists.

C OURTESY KNIT TING FACTORY

MUSIC GUIDE

ALL TIME LOW, KNITTING FACTORY, APRIL 19

Kids who grew up in the early 2000s likely have All Time Low’s “Dear Maria, Count Me In” and “Damned If I Do Ya” imprinted in the backs of their minds. For its seventh and most recent album, Last Young Renegade (Fueled by Ramen, 2017), the Maryland-based rockers that produce what is already a nostalgic sound embrace a backward look at their own childhoods. “By returning to those warm feelings of wide-eyed wonder from childhood, bottling them up tight, and distilling them with years of wisdom, evolution becomes seamless,” reads the All Time Low bio for Knitting Factory, where it will take the stage Thursday, April 19, in Boise. Last Young Renegade is something of a rebel’s anthem, and listening through it is almost like watching a movie: Wide-angle tracks like “Drugs & Candy” easily rope the audience in to join the band on refrains, while tighter pieces like the title track are still-upbeat odes to lost relationships.

Snag tickets to press play.

KHRUANGBIN, THE OLYMPIC, APRIL 25

The title of the newest album from Texas funk trio Khruangbin, Con Todo El Mundo (LateNightTales, 2018), translates to “With All the World,” an appropriate title for a band that claims to be “rooted in the deepest waters of world music” and inspired by tunes from South East Asia, the Mediterranean and the Middle East. Con Todo El Mudo is only the group’s second album, but it has already carved its own niche in the American music scene— perhaps by attempting to draw on so many other niche styles worldwide, from Thailand-based funk to Iraqi soul. Instrumentalheavy tracks like “Maria Tambien,” which is more or less one long, fluttering guitar solo overlaid by whispers and underscored by drum beats, recall slow-motion outdoor dance circles, everyone swaying to the music. To listen to the album in full is to travel the world while sitting still; no doubt the live performance will produce even more magic.

THE OTHER DARK KNIGHT You Were Never Really Here is decidedly dark GEORGE PRENTICE

Corruption, violence and rescue: It’s a disturbingly cruel cycle repeated often and with ever-heightening fervor in each revolution (and there are many) of You Were Never Really Here, a very dark dive starring Joaquin Phoenix. I take a bsvk seat to no one in my admiration for Phoenix, who won the 2017 Cannes Film Festival Best Actor prize for this performance.

SCREEN EXTRA SUPERNATURAL LIVES: THE CW RENEWS ITS SCI-FI HIT FOR SEASON 14

STARTS FRIDAY, April 20 18 | APRIL 18–24, 2018 | BOISEweekly

Dean Winchester, played by Jensen Ackles in the CW series Supernatural, has died and come back to life more than 100 times in the show’s 13-year run—and considering The Hollywood Reporter announced April 2 that Supernatural has been picked up for a 14th season, it may just share the same immortality.

With 282 episodes on air so far, the genre-spanning show that follows brothers Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean Winchester as they fight an ever-escalating series of monsters, demons and worse, is the longest-running sci-fi/ fantasy series in the history of

U.S. television. It’s also one of the longest-running live-action TV series to continue with the same two co-stars at the helm, and Entertainment Weekly posits their chemistry is likely what has kept the show on air.

Padalecki and Ackles have played Sam and Dean for roughly a third of their lives, and are as much brothers off screen as on.

They share the same four-year age gap as their fictional counterparts, live in the same town in Texas, and often bring their families together on days off. They even have a running prank war on set that includes fellow Supernatural regular Misha Collins, who plays the angel Castiel—Collins once realized at a panel that the pair had turned all

of the clothes in his trailer inside out, and retaliated on another occasion by paying Padalecki in buckets of change after losing more than $1,000 to him in Words With Friends.

Although EW reported in 2016 that Ackles and Padalecki were originally looking at episode 300 as a potential series finale (despite that fact that it would fall in mid-season), Ackles walked back on the statement in a later Variety inter view.

“Jared and I talked and we’re going to just keep going,” Ackles told Variety. “He and I, we talk about getting to episode 300 and that’s just another milestone… and then when we get there, we’ll keep going and see what

the next milestone is.”

When the season 14 renewal was announced, Padalecki shared the news with fans on Instagram the same day, ending his post with the #WinchesterForever hashtag— a tag that recalls both the show’s comeback-kid nature and his own Always Keep Fighting campaign, which sells Supernatural-themed merchandise to raise money for charities that battle suicide and depression.

The last few installments of Season 13 are currently airing Thursday nights on The CW, and an all-female spinoff called Wayward Sisters is planned to kick off later this year.

MAIL CONSTRUCT WITH CAUTION

I smile, like other champions of Boise’s downtown, with great hope and expectation whenever I see a construction crane rise into the skyline. Our history shows us that a vibrant downtown is an essential ingredient to a special city like Boise. More people, more places and a diversity of what they offer are the secret sauce of a desirable downtown, and a feature of smart growth which seeks to develop a compact city to avoid sprawl.

So, it makes me sad when a part of our skyline is filled, once again, with a building that looks ordinary. Or, in the case of the parking garage under construction at the corner of 11th and Front Streets, a pockmark on our city. The “split-face concrete block” and metallic “vertical elements” that define the structure from head to toe, and pretend to make this parking garage something other than what it is, are a blemish to a principal gateway to downtown Boise.

This was avoidable. We see local examples of visually appealing skins on the faces of parking garages when we look to the Boise State University and St. Luke’s Hospital campuses, and at other locations downtown. For example, facades with low, horizontal walls topped with railings like those along Main Street at Capitol Boulevard and 9th Street, faux windows and panels like those at Front and 9th Streets, or simple strings of steel cable like those at other garages in our city.

If form follows function, parking garages ought to look like structures that complement their surroundings, encourage pedestrians to linger, and create public places. Storefronts and shops along the street facing, ground

levels of a garage and office space above accomplish this.

Placing them within the interior of a city block with a perimeter of hotel, office and/or market space accomplishes this too with even better results. The garage surrounded by the Aspen Lofts at Front and Ninth streets is one example. If not that, perhaps it’s best we bury parking below a building as was done at City Hall, JUMP, and the Convention Center.

May we ask with deference to the Capitol City Development Corporation—who purchased with tax increment financing 250 public parking spaces in the offending structure at a cost of $5.4 million, and reimbursed the developer for $4 million in public improvements —to use our money with greater interest in good design?

May we ask, with great appreciation for their commitment to downtown and recognized accomplishments, that Mayor Bieter and the City Council, the Planning and Zoning Commissioners and the members of the Boise City Design Review Committee require more from the development community and the architects they employ?

Some say that a building has a useful life of 20 to 50 years before it is remodeled, repurposed or removed. That’s a long time for us to wait for the kind of structures that Boise’s downtown deserves.

year. That’s $100 million in additional funds that will help us improve technology in our classrooms and continue our investments in our teacher “career ladder” designed to increase teacher pay.

Idaho’s colleges and universities will see a 3.2 percent increase in ongoing state general funds, or $9.2 million.

This includes funding for creation of a new clinical master’s degree program at Idaho State University to help address the need for more mental health professionals in Idaho. LewisClark State College received funding for career counselors to help students align their courses and interests with a career after they graduate.

I’m very pleased that Governor Otter’s legislation passed authorizing the Board to offer the Opportunity Scholarship to adults interested in returning to school to earn a certificate or a degree. The Board plans to have this scholarship for adult learners available by next fall.

Legislators also increased funding for medical residencies in Idaho as part of a 10-year plan designed to train doctors who will hopefully practice medicine in Idaho, particularly in rural parts of our state, once they finish their residencies.

There were other proposals the Board both supported and opposed that did not make it through the legislature this session. We as a Board look forward to visiting with the sponsors of those bills during the interim to learn more about their proposals and to explore ways to possibly work together.

On behalf of my Board colleagues, I thank Governor Otter and the legislature for their hard work. Despite what you may hear or read, we have an excellent public education system in Idaho and progress made this legislative session helps keep the momentum going. I often remind people that education is an investment, not an expense. I am most grateful for the investments made this year, which will pay dividends in Idaho’s future.

Mike Vincent’s pottery is a commentary on U.S.Mexico relations and cultural exclusion.

STUDENTS SHINE IN BOISE STATE SPRING BFA EXHIBITION

Undergraduate artists spend a good chunk of their time in college creating original artwork, but it’s rare they get the chance to display it in a formal gallery setting. That is, until they’re ready to graduate, when Boise State University sets up bi-annual exhibitions to show off the fruits of their labors.

“It’s for graduating students in the BFA Visual Art, BFA Art Education and BFA Illustration majors,” said Visual Arts Center Director Kirsten Furlong, referring to the sprawling exhibition that spans two buildings on campus.

“It’s their capstone activity.”

This semester, 20 students offered up 49 pieces of work covering topics from the personal to the political. On one hand there’s Kassie Robbins’ collection of crowns made from brass, leather, knotted twine, ceramic baler insulator and steel sickle blades, which comments on her family’s farming history in Baker City, Oregon. On the other is Mike Vincent’s collection of pottery pieces displayed on a brick facade, the top edge of which mirrors the U.S.-Mexico border. Vincent said in a statement that his work pits the symbolic against the utilitarian in order to “foster discussion about identity, political power, disenfranchisement and how to survive in a culture that excludes people it finds unusable.”

Other pieces make for fun viewing. Corinne Osmanski’s A Chromatic Storm combines colorful ceramic teardrops with wood framework and paper mache to form a rainbow-hued stormcloud releasing a maelstrom of hanging droplets. Around the corner from her display crouches Jeremy Shoemaker’s installation Pygmalion’s Secret, featuring an armchair and side table sitting on an astroturf floor and facing TV screens playing obscure videos. The screens are buried in a riot of foliage.

“The class [that helps students plan the exhibition] covers some professional practices, so not only are they learning if they want to exhibit their work, they have a basic idea of how to plan an exhibition and all the different components that go into that,” said Furlong.

The exhibition runs through Tuesday, April 24, in room 170 of the Liberal Arts Building and room 110 of the Hemmingway Center.

Save the date for a visit before the students pack up and move out.

Rachel Reichert (center) has been a key figure in updating the James Castle House for its new purpose as a gallery and artist residence.

A MAN’S HOUSE IS HIS JAMES CASTLE

The James Castle House is a place of mystery and a stepping stone for the city of Boise HARRISON BERRY The gate to the slatted, whitewashed shed swung open, revealing a second miniscule, decrepit shed inside: the onetime home and studio of feted Boise artist James Castle. The awning of the workspace leaned precariously on one side, torsion exposing old nails. Inside, wallpaper peeled from the walls and a rickety cupboard was on its last legs. Rachel Reichert, cultural sites manager for the city of Boise, and architect Byron Folwell said they are determined to preserve the decaying structure.

“This is no different in our opinion from a Castle jar of soot,” Reichert said, referring to the ash the artist used in his work.

Deciding what to save and how to save it at the James Castle House site in the Collister Neighborhood has been one of the most significant challenges Folwell and Reichert faced as they set about preserving, restoring and converting the property into a gallery space, artist-in-residence studio and general cultural center. Those kinds of decisions have not been made easier by the features of the house or the artist who lived there, but they have held a few surprises.

Castle, who lived in and near the house from 1931 until his death in 1977, created thousands of individual artworks using found materials like ash, scrap paper and his own spit. Best known for his voluminous works depicting the area in and around the house, he was also drawn to repeating patterns like gingham and lettering, and produced occasional portraits, some of which hang in the house gallery. Many of his works are double-sided, and there are frequently dozens of versions of each of them. His attractions to repetition and

pattern, combined with his deep relationship to the place where he lived, make learning about Castle and seeing his art where it was made a vivid experience.

The James Castle House is what architects call a “vernacular house.” Since its original construction, the house has undergone numerous phases of additions and modernizations, and Folwell said he had to do some “investigative demolition” to get it in working order. In the process, he uncovered its history.

“We had this story of how buildings were built,” he said. “What we found were about seven houses inside this one house.”

One of the clearest examples is the “materials collection.” Formerly the location of the original front door, the tiny room was an addition to the original 12-by-26-foot house. Over the decades, owners covered the clapboard exterior of the home with wooden shingles, eventually adding tar paper, chicken wire and stucco. Excavating the room revealed plastered-on newspapers, cloth (likely from a dress), ancient patterned wallpaper and other materials used to windproof the room. As the city prepares to open the space to the general public on Saturday, April 28, Folwell has decided to turn the materials collection into an exhibit all its own.

“We want to draw a parallel between Castle’s materials and the materials the house was built with,” he said.

A more significant discovery of Castlerelated materials took place in the largest room in the house, now the main gallery.

That’s where project managers found a trove of drawing fragments and other

items squirreled away in the walls. Those materials have since been valued at more than $1.1 million and donated to the city of Boise. The house and nearby structures feature heavily in Castle’s drawings, and finding never-before-seen artworks tucked against the house’s bones was a reminder to Reichert and Folwell of the strong connection between the artist and his home, and of Castle’s elusive and mysterious nature.

The house is less a shrine to Castle than it is a stepping stone. An important part of the renovation was turning it into a sort of pilot project for future interactive Department of Arts & History ventures while honoring Castle and his legacy. The house itself has a capacity of less than 50 people, but its expansive lawn will be used for events that could include performances of live music.

Another side of the space will be its artist-in-residence program. The Department of Arts & History already has a shortlist of artists who have applied for the inaugural residency, and Reichert said she expects an announcement to be made soon. To that end, she and Folwell have dedicated space in the house for a kitchenette, studio, bedroom and full bathroom, all of which hew closely to how they may have looked in Castle’s time, down to the Depression-era kitchen sink (with cast-iron pans hanging beneath) and an antique bed frame.

“We looked at Castle’s art to get a look at what this place looked like while he lived here,” Reichert said. “The interiors are super easy because [he] rendered the space so often.

FOOD BIG THINGS, PETITE PACKAGES

French bistro-inspired eatery Petite 4 opens on the Bench HARRISON BERRY

Though it’s marked only by a small sign, French bistro-inspired Petite 4, which opened on the Boise Bench on April 11, is already a game-changer for the neighborhood.

Its owners, David “DK” and Sarah Kelly, were the restaurateurs behind the popular Bleubird sandwich shop in downtown Boise.

When they announced they planned to close Bleubird in late January, they also teased Petite 4, instantly making the new restaurant one of the most hotly anticipated in town.

Though the experience of eating at Petite 4 on 4 Latah St. is, in many ways, a radical departure from its downtown predecessor, the two restaurants are branches of the same culinary and stylistic tree. Fans of Bleubird will find the food and atmosphere at Petite 4 every bit as enjoyable.

Let’s start with the starters.

The country pate on the charcuterie menu ($15) is made from chicken, duck and pork, and comes with Maille stone-ground mustard and cornichons. Spread on slices of a sourdough demi baguette from Sable Baking, which operates out of Petite 4’s kitchen, it’s a

smooth mix of elements: salty, fatty and bitter.

The chorizo and manchego croquettes, served with romesco and oil-cured olives ($9), are the color of a sunset, particularly after a coat of romesco, and although the brittle crust and creamy filling are tasty on their own, biting into the occasional chewy hunk of chorizo releases a satisfying, salty splash.

Enter the entrees: cassoulet ($19), featuring duck confit, pork belly, more chorizo, beans and tomato gratin; smoked salmon crepes ($17), with saffron aioli and baby mache; and black beluga lentils ($13), with julienned cabbage and kale, onions, coconut and saffron aioli. The cassoulet is a hearty dish with fatty pork belly and expertly prepared duck thigh on the bone, and the beluga lentils are piled in a ziggurat surrounded by an aioli moat painted on the bowl. The most satisfying of the three is the elegantly plated salmon crepes. The briney contents cut the smoothness of the sometimes soft, sometimes crispy pancakes and the herblaced aioli.

Lastly, it would be a mistake to skimp on dessert. The bitter chocolate mousse served in

Sarah Kelly (pictured) is the head chef at the new Boise Bench restaurant, Petite 4.

a brass pineapple with a dollop of whipped cream ($5), the lemon meringue pie ($9) and the sticky toffee pudding dusted with fragrant orange zest ($9) are all worthy candidates.

Each comes with a card advertising paired wines, and the latter are big and sweet enough for two to share.

On its second day open, the service at Petite 4 was already impeccable. Servers kept wine and water glasses filled, and knew the menu front to back. Neither doting nor inattentive, they appeared out of nowhere any time the table need replenishing.

The style of the restaurant is as artful as the plating. With green-painted walls, patterned

tile flooring and gold starburst-shaped light fixtures overhead, the small space is bustling and intimate. The details are charming, and connoisseurs of decor will envy the low table where DK keeps his reservation book with its legs shaped like arrows, the vase full of matchboxes next to a bouquet and even the tableware—no two forks are the same.

Reservations at Petite 4 are recommended, but seats at the bar are open to passersby. Its brunch program, which will debut in May, will only add to its foot traffic appeal. A gem anywhere in Boise, Petite 4 has positioned itself to be a culinary hub of one of the upand-coming-est neighborhoods in the city.

FOOD EXTRA C OURTESY RIS E & G RIND

Rise & Grind Nutrition serves up smoothies that are based on (and taste like) desserts.

GARDEN CITY SMOOTHIE JOINT TAKES OVER SPITSHADE TATTOO

The small white building on Sixth Street that used to be home to Spitshade Tattoo is getting a major makeover for its new tenant—no surprise, considering it’s a Minnesota-based smoothie shop that’s taking over the space.

“The tattoo place really stuck out to us, because I feel like it’s quirky a little bit, and our business is different, I feel like, than other businesses,” said Liz Hendricks, who owns Rise & Grind Nutrition with her husband, Max. The couple currently sells smoothies and offers free nutrition coaching to customers at a location in Garden City, but the company also has outposts in Minnesota and Arkansas.

Rise & Grind’s menu is as atypical as its new location. The shop sells $8-$10.50 “Combos” that include an aloe shot, an herbal or highenergy “tea-bomb” tea and a smoothie, which customers can pick from a list of 42 flavor options including dessert blends like Cherry Dilly Bar and Peanut Butter Waffle. Taken together, the drinkable trio can replace a full meal.

“The smoothies are all about balanced nutrition. They’re 200 calories, 24 grams of protein, they’ll keep you nice and full for a good three hours or more, and they’re fully customizable.”

Hendricks said.

One thing missing from the menu is the now-ubiquitous kale-heavy green smoothie.

When asked why she chose to focus on sweet flavors, Hendricks said she aims to help customers satisfy their cravings for a favorite dessert or cereal without having to suffer the consequences of “bad nutrition.”

When Rise & Grind opens at 211 S. Sixth Street on Wednesday, May 9, it will look nothing like Spitshade Tattoo. The Hendricks have taken down walls, updated the plumbing and given the space a new aesthetic, featuring fresh paint, exposed brick and a mix of bistro tables and bar seating. Hendricks said she and her husband want the location to be a happy, highenergy space that immediately feels like home.

“That tattoo sign that hangs down, we’re going to have a sign there that says ‘Be Happy,’” she said. “So hopefully we can spread some positivity around the community too.”

Rise & Grind will be open Mondays-Fridays from 7 a.m.-2 p.m., and Saturdays from 8 a.m.1 p.m.

CITIZEN DAVID LINCOLN AND CHELSEA GAONA-LINCOLN One family, two parties, two high-profile campaigns GEORGE PRENTICE

Chelsea Gaona-Lincoln, 34, remembers the first time she met David Lincoln, the man who would become her stepfather.

“I was four years old. I went on one of his first dates with mom,” said Gaona-Lincoln. “I was even included in their vows when I was five. And when we got to move to dad’s farm in Wilder, it was the best.”

“I became an instant dad,” said Lincoln, now 62, beaming at his stepdaughter. “All of a sudden, I had this lovely, inquisitive, analytical girl as a daughter.”

Personality-wise, the two have plenty in common, but politically they have plenty of differences. She’s a staunch Democrat and he’s a longtime fixture in Canyon County Republican party politics. More importantly, they’re both running for the Idaho Legislature this year—for opposing parties. Luckily, they’re not running directly against one another. Lincoln is one of five Republicans in the Tuesday, May 15 GOP primary for Idaho House seat 11B. Gaona-Lincoln is running unopposed in the Democratic primary, but come November she’ll face Rep. Greg Chaney (R-Caldwell) in the race for Idaho House seat 10B.

Lincoln: When Rep. Christy Perry (R-Nampa) decided to run for Lieutenant Governor and relinquish her seat in the Idaho House, I was overjoyed that people asked me to run for that seat. With my experience, I’m pretty certain that I could serve on any committee at the Legislature. I’ve got some pretty strong ties there.

Ms. Gaona-Lincoln, you’re no stranger at the Statehouse either. I’ve seen you testify there on a number of occasions.

Gaona-Lincoln: But sometimes, a few Republicans walk in the other direction when they see me coming.

How easy or difficult was your decision to run for office?

Gaona-Lincoln: After graduating from the College of Idaho, I decided to stay in Caldwell with the intent of running for the legislature someday. I’m a behavioral therapist, working with families stuck in difficult positions.

But I offer those services part-time now, so I could shift some of that energy toward running my campaign.

Can you appreciate that some Republicans might say the exact same thing?

Gaona-Lincoln: My biggest focus is to stop politicizing things and choose directions that are not just business-savvy, but also humanitybased. We’re supposed to be representing all of our constituents.

Let’s talk about health care. Mr. Lincoln, the person who has been representing your district up until now, Rep. Perry, tried hard to push through legislation to address Idaho’s Medicaid gap this year—but the legislature chose not to act.

Lincoln: I really think there’s a solution out there that doesn’t just include Medicaid.

I’m willing, win or lose, to step up and try to help find a solution. I don’t think people realize what this problem is costing our counties. I think there’s some way we can resolve this.

Ms. Gaona-Lincoln, you’re one of the most recognizable advocates in Idaho for LGBTQ issues. I think a lot of people may recognize you for your advocacy for proposed Add the Words legislation in years past.

Gaona-Lincoln: Our team has shifted some of its focus to not just having more rallies or protests, but empowering people to do something transformative and restorative. I do believe that there’s more of an openness on this issue among Republican leadership in the legislature. We had an amazing 22-hour Add the Words public hearing in January of 2015, and that was “Day One” for a good many conservative legislators. I met with Rep. [Paul] Shepherd (R-Riggins) and told him, “I know we’re on opposite sides of the aisle, and you may not see what I’m seeing just yet, but I see this as ‘Day One’ for you.”

Mr. Lincoln, the most intriguing race on the Republican ballot in May is the gubernatorial race. Who are you supporting in your party primary?.

Lincoln: My agricultural roots tell me to vote for Brad Little.

If you could cast a ballot in your daughter’s district, can I assume that you’d vote for her?

Lincoln: Of course, she’s my daughter.

What if she wasn’t your daughter?

Lincoln: Well, that’s an entirely different question.

Would you vote for your father?

Gaona-Lincoln: I don’t know if he’s aware of how much influence he’s had in my life. I know Dad as a godly man, [but] not because he ever preached sermons to me. I know him as a family man and as a leader.

Ms. Gaona-Lincoln, the fact that your wife, Van Beechler, is running for the District 10 State Senate Seat makes this election season even more interesting. How long have you been married?

Gaona-Lincoln: Since September 2016.

And you’re expecting a child?

Gaona-Lincoln: In July.

When the whole family gets together, can I assume that you at least talk a bit about your respective campaigns?

Lincoln: Very little. But Chelsea insisted that I needed a Facebook account, so I’m a three-week veteran of Facebook.

Gaona-Lincoln: But life isn’t politics, right?

When family gets together, there are so many more, better things to talk about.

PAGE BREAK MINERVA’S BREAKDOWN Advice for those on the verge INTUITION DEAR MINERVA,

I have a friend who easily works himself into the daily lives and experiences of the people around him. The really problematic thing for me is his willingness to not only be incredibly involved in people’s lives but also to offer help in a very strange way. Everything that he does for someone seems to come with a price.

I have seen him do this to many people. He offers himself in a seemingly kind and generous fashion, but it always ends with this feeling that something is owed to him later for his efforts. It sets my intuition off in a most unpleasant way and I’m worried for those on his list of righteous benevelovence. Do I butt in and warn others about how I feel?

Sincerely, Not Falling For It

FIND HIP CHICK FARMS 24-KARAT GOLDEN CHICKEN NUGGET

Chicken nuggets are ubiquitous on fast food menus, were forever immortalized (and possibly made traumatizing) by the documentary about McDonald’s, Super Size Me, and are now being reinvented by marketing gurus as a healthy source of lean protein.

It may already seem like all that stays the same about chicken nuggets year to year is the animal they come from, but this month, Hip Chick Farms went one step farther out of the box and gilded the breaded lily—literally. Billed as the first and only Golden Chicken Nugget in America, this brainchick of Hip Chick owners Chef Jennifer Johnson and Serafina Palandech is “made with certified, edible gold and with organic, non-GMO, natural, wholesome real chicken that’s free range, and humanely-raised.” A flight of nuggets rings in at $150 at the Hip Chick “chicken nugget tasting room” in Sebastopol, California. As if the facts of the matter aren’t over the top enough, the Hip Chick press release finishes with this nod to the absurd: “Oh, and these go great with Chef Bjorn Delacruz’s viral ‘golden donuts’ and Snowopolis’ 24-karat ice cream.”

DEAR NFFI,

Unfortunately, no matter what our own intuition tells us, it usually isn’t enough to persuade someone else about another person. Intuition is personal and not infallible. Butting in and telling people your suspicions may just end up making you look like a gossip who likes to stir the pot, especially if he is well liked. I would stay polite with him. If your intuition has determined him to be a smarmy snake oil salesman, then keep your cool and don’t buy into his trickery. Protect yourself. Kindness and generosity should be given freely without any expectation or thought as to what one will get in the future. Thankfully, you seem in tune to that. Good luck!

ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the early history of the automobile, electric engines were more popular and common than gasoline-powered engines. They were less noisy, dirty, smelly, and difficult to operate. It’s too bad that thereafter the technology for gasoline cars developed at a faster rate than the technology for electric cars. By the end of the first decade of the twentieth century, the petroleum-suckers were in ascendance. They have remained so ever since, playing a significant role in our world’s ongoing environmental degradation. Moral of the story: Sometimes the original idea or the early model or the first try is better. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you should consider applying this hypothesis to your current state of affairs.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The Chesapeake Bay is a fertile estuary that teems with life. It’s 200 miles long and holds 18 trillion gallons of water. More than 150 streams and rivers course into its drainage basin. And yet it’s relatively shallow. If you’re six feet tall, you could wade through over a thousand square miles of its mix of fresh and salt water without getting your hat wet. I see this place as an apt metaphor for your life in the coming weeks: an expanse of flowing fecundity that is vast but not so deep that you’ll get overwhelmed.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll soon arrive at a pressurepacked turning point. You’ll stand poised at a pivotal twist of fate where you must trust your intuition to reveal the differences between smart risks and careless gambles.

Are you willing to let your halfnaked emotions show? Will you have the courage to be brazenly loyal to your deepest values? I won’t wish you luck, because how the story evolves will be fueled solely by your determination, not by accident or happenstance. You will know you’re in a good position to solve the Big Riddles if they feel both scary and fun.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Strong softness is one of your specialties. So are empathetic rigor, creative responsiveness, and daring acts of nurturing. Now is a perfect time to summon and express all of these qualities with extra flair. If you do, your influence will exceed its normal quotas. Your ability to heal and inspire your favorite people will be at a peak.

So I hereby invite you to explore the frontiers of aggressive receptivity. Wield your courage and power with a fierce vulnerability.

Be tenderly sensitive as an antidote to any headstrong lovelessness you encounter.

AUTHENTIC COLOMBIAN CUISINE

BY ROB BREZSNY

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In 1973, Pink Floyd released the album The Dark Side of the Moon.

Since then, it has been on various Billboard charts for over 1,700 weeks and has sold more than 45 million copies. Judging from the astrological aspects coming to bear on you, Leo, I suspect you could create or produce a beautiful thing with a similar staying power in the next five months. What vitalizing influence would you like to have in your life for at least the next 30 years?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I beg you to take a break sometime soon. Give yourself permission to indulge in a vacation or recess or sabbatical. Wander away on a leave of absence.

Explore the mysteries of a siesta blended with a fiesta. If you don’t grant yourself this favor, I may be forced to bark “Chill out, dammit!” at you until you do. Please don’t misunderstand my intention here.

The rest of us appreciate the way you’ve been attending to the complicated details that are too exacting for us. But we can also see that if you don’t ease up, there will soon be diminishing returns.

It’s time to return to your studies of relaxing freedom.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Singer-songwriter Roy Orbison achieved great success in the 1960s, charting 22 songs on the Billboard Top 40. Years later, in 1986, filmmaker David Lynch asked him for the right to use his tune “In Dreams” for the movie Blue Velvet. Orbison denied the request, but Lynch incorporated the tune anyway. Surprise! Blue Velvet was nominated for an Academy Award and played a big role in reviving Orbison’s fame.

Later the singer came to appreciate not only the career boost, but also Lynch’s unusual aesthetic, testifying that the film gave his song an “otherworldly quality that added a whole new dimension.”

Now let’s meditate on how this story might serve as a parable for your life. Was there an opportunity that you once turned down but will benefit from anyway? Or is there a current opportunity that maybe you shouldn’t turn down, even if it seems odd?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ve been to the Land of No Return and back more than anyone. But soon you’ll be visiting a remote enclave in this realm I call the Mother Lode of Sexy Truth. It’s where tender explorers go when they must transform outworn aspects of their approach to partnership and togetherness.

On the eve of your quest, shall we conduct an inventory of your capacity to outgrow your habitual assumptions about relationships?

No, let’s not. That sounds too stiff and formal. Instead, I’ll simply ask you to strip away any falseness that interferes with vivacious and catalytic intimacy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In 1824, two British explorers climbed a mountain in southwestern Australia. They were hoping to get a sweeping view of Port Phillip Bay, but when they reached the top, their view was largely obstructed by trees. Out of perverse spite, they decided to call the peak Mount Disappointment, a name it retains to this day. I suspect you may soon have your own personal version of an adventure that falls short of your expectations. I hope— and also predict—that your experience won’t demoralize you, but will rather mobilize you to attempt a new experiment.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn rock musician Lemmy Kilmister bragged that he swigged a bottle of Jack Daniel’s whiskey every day from 1975 to 2013.

While I admire his dedication to inducing altered states of consciousness, I can’t recommend such a strategy for you. But I will love it if you undertake a more disciplined crusade to escape numbing routines and irrelevant habits in the next four weeks. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will have a special knack for this practical art.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Germany was one of the big losers of World War I, which ended in 1919. By accepting the terms of the Versailles Treaty, it agreed to pay reparations equivalent to 96,000 tons of gold. Not until 2010, decades after the war, did Germany finally settle its bill and fulfill its obligation. I’m sure your own big, long-running debt is nowhere near as imposing as that one, but you will nonetheless have reason to be ecstatic when you finally discharge it. According to my reading of the astrological omens, that could and should happen sometime soon. (P.S. The “debt” could be emotional or spiritual rather than financial.)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “I would rather have a drop of luck than a barrel of brains,” said the ancient Greek philosopher Diogenes. Fortunately, that’s not a choice you will have to face in the coming weeks, Pisces. According to my reading of the cosmic signs, your brain will be working with even greater efficiency and ingenuity than it usually does. Meanwhile, a stronger-than-expected flow of luck will be swirling. One of your main tasks will be to harness your enhanced intelligence to take shrewd advantage of the good fortune.
