LEGISLATING LIVABILITY By the time this publishes, nearly all my worldly goods will be boxed and waiting to be stuffed in a moving truck, bound for Boise. The next Note I write will be from my office at Boise Weekly headquarters—some 400 miles from where I now sit: a place of lakes and forests, where my wife, 1-year-old son and I can jaunt up to Canada for dinner.

Though I was born and raised in Sandpoint, my small family’s move to the Treasure Valley (where my wife and I met at then-Albertson College of Idaho in 1999) is a homecoming that we’ve been looking forward to for months.

Being a resort town with more than its share of urban refugees, we’ve been offered heaps of advice from wellmeaning Sandpoint friends on “how to raise your kid in a city.” The implication being that it’s better not to. I’m inclined to agree, generally, but can’t think of a city where I’d rather raise my son than Boise.

But, as BW News Editor George Prentice reports on Page 7, there’s an apparent scourge of panhandling in Boise—a problem so dire that it requires not one, but three ordinances aimed at curtailing sidewalk solicitation and loitering.

Well-meaning as these measures may be, aimed at making the streets safe for businesses and (presumably) families like mine, it’s hard to imagine Boise as a hotbed of aggressive panhandling. Thinking back on it, the only in-your-face panhandling experience I can recall happened sometime in 2001, when I was approached four times by the same man.

He was more “creative” than “aggressive.” Each time our paths crossed, he would begin with: “Hey, brother, I’m in a bad way…” In the first instance, he followed with a tale of woe about his time on a fishing boat in Alaska, sending money to his lady, but when he got back to port, she’d run off with his best friend. Each time we met, his job and the name of his lady changed but the moral remained the same: “Don’t marry a woman named (fill in the blank).”

I’m sure that not all panhandling experiences are as rich in narrative as that one, and I think we can all agree that it’s a tragedy when anyone finds themselves resorting to asking strangers for money on the street. That’s why this problem requires a human solution, rather than a legal one that will almost surely cost more money and cause more hardship than it’s worth. “Livability” seems to be Boise’s mantra— and it is indeed fantastically livable—but we should be careful that it doesn’t become a cult requiring laws to enforce it.

BILL COPE/OPINION

YOU REPUBLICANS Let me tell you what’s a real scandal

I have a prediction, but it’s only for you Republicans. Just you. The majority of the country doesn’t need it. They’ve already figured out for themselves what I am about to predict. They may not think of it as a prediction, not in any formal sense, but they know how it’s going to turn out because they’ve seen it all before. Over and over, actually.

And since it has always turned out basically the same, they assume it’s going to turn out the same this time, too. But you Republicans haven’t figured it out yet. The majority, including me, is way ahead of you.

But that’s not bragging. Any more, it’s no big accomplishment to be way ahead of you Republicans.

The reason I’m making a prediction (when indeed I do get around to making it) is that I can’t resist letting you Republicans in on the secret. Not that it’s a real secret.

Nothing can be a proper secret when everyone knows about it but the slow learners at the back of the class, right? But it’s a secret to you Republicans, that’s for sure. You continue to be certain in your brains that something different is going to happen when everyone else knows it won’t. In fact, one could honestly say just about everything in America is a secret to you Republicans, as it is astonishing to the rest of us how little you have figured out. You keep floundering and flopping around in your brains like a catfish in mud just for that reason, that you can’t seem to figure out anything.

Seriously. You name it—women’s issues, stimulus issues, immigration issues, healthcare issues, national security issues, environmental issues, science issues, education issues, young peoples’ issues, old peoples’ issues—it all seems to be over your heads.

You keep pretending to have solutions, that you offer alternatives, but to the rest of us, it’s obvious you’re just faking it. You’re like the kid who writes a book report on a book he’s never read, written in a language he’s never learned, then tries to tell the other kids how they should write their reports.

U Now, on to my prediction. I predict that President Barack Obama will not be impeached by the IRS scandal. Or the Benghazi scandal. Or for that matter, the AP scandal.

I predict none of these scandals will even ding him to any significant degree, and may actually help him.

I predict he will continue to be liked and admired by the majority of Americans— roughly the same majority that elected him president twice and stands with him on virtually everything he wants to do. I also predict that Congress—so infested with ugly, unfit scabs like Darrell Issa, James Inhofe and those gibbering apes who represent the embarrassing state of Texas—will continue to drop in the eyes and estimations of the WWW. B OISEWEEKLY.C O M

American majority like turds in watery Jello.

I predict that, as the facts are exposed in the scandals, the majority of Americans will come to realize there is nothing very scandalous about the scandals. I predict Benghazi will come to be understood as nothing more than a set of miscommunications and confused perceptions, exacerbated by how the Republicans you Republicans put into office slashed funding for embassy security.

I predict the IRS affair will come to be seen as nothing more than a misguided attempt to separate the wolves from the lambs when it comes to granting tax exempt status, exacerbated by Tea Party frauds trying to pass themselves off as charities.

Lastly, I predict the AP scandal will prove to be nothing but an attempt to stem leaks considered detrimental to national security—controversial, perhaps rash, but legal.

I don’t normally make predictions. Not serious ones. But I’m serious about the these predictions because they are the natural extensions of the reasons I (along with the majority of Americans) chose Barack Obama to be our leader in the first place. We chose him because he was, and is, an eminently honorable, undoubtedly decent and superlatively intelligent man, and I remain confident a man of those qualities would not behave as Republicans continually accuse him of behaving. I like to think this is what we Democrats look for in our leaders: honor, decency and intelligence.

You Republicans, on the other hand, always seem to expect the worst in people.

I suppose that’s why you’re not ashamed of yourself for offering us second-rate riffraff for high office, and it’s why you see nothing good about our president. You can’t grasp the honor, decency and intelligence of Barack Obama because your brains don’t register those wavelengths. You are the exact opposite of the creature in the movie Predator; you can comprehend what’s before you only if it is entirely covered with mud. Get what I mean?

No, of course you don’t.

U In the end, though, it’s not going to matter what you Republicans comprehend and what you don’t comprehend. In a nutshell, this is my prediction: that the majority of Americans, as in two elections and several smaller struggles, will continue to stand with Obama because they see what you are incapable of seeing. And they will continue to doubt everything you say about Obama because the more they see of the ugly, unfit scabs you elected to office—those whose blighted mission it is to smear the mud on a better man—the more they will appreciate what a better man Obama truly is.

Special note to Republican leaders: Keep it up. Please. Your ugliness can only help Hillary, should she decide to go for it.

OPINION/TED RALL

TREASONOUS REFORM Why are we importing foreign workers?

Unemployment is sky-high. Sustained longterm unemployment is at record levels. So why the hell are we importing foreign workers?

The immigration reform bill will throw open the door to millions of new foreigners to enter the United States to work. And we’re not talking about crappy fruit-picking gigs Americans supposedly don’t want.

Lawmakers want foreign nationals to fill America’s high-paying tech jobs. While Americans are out of work.

For at least 20 years, the U.S. economy has been replacing good manufacturing jobs with bad service jobs. Salaries have fallen. Which has depressed demand. As things stand, there’s one bright spot: the potential for the IT sector to lift us out of the rut. To paraphrase George Orwell’s 1984: If there is hope for America’s unemployed, it lies with tech.

Make that: “lied.” Because America’s tech companies are hell-bent on hiring just about anyone who is not an American citizen.

Economists say jobs aren’t a zero-sum game. But unemployment would certainly be lower if employers were forced to hire Americans who were qualified, or train them. But they’re not. Companies “want people to hit the ground running,” Wharton management professor Peter Cappelli, author of Why Good People Can’t Get Jobs, told USA Today, “They don’t want to train anybody.”

What bosses want is flexible indentured labor. Foreign workers fit the bill perfectly. If foreigners get fired, they lose their visas and have to go back home. How likely are they to ask for a raise, much less gripe about long hours or unpaid overtime?

And so, even as born-in-the-USA Ameri-

6 | JUNE 5–11, 2013 | BOISEweekly

cans languish without jobs, sinking into poverty, Big Tech is passing them over.

“As drafted,” reports FoxNews, “the bill would raise the current cap on so-called H-1B visas for highly skilled workers. ... The legislation also included new protections designed to ensure American workers get the first shot at jobs, and high-tech firms objected to some of those constraints.”

Re-read that last phrase. “High-tech firms objected” to “new protections designed to ensure American workers get the first shot at jobs.” Thanks to the Gap-shirt-wearing billionaires of Silicon Valley, those common-sense protections have been cut out of the bill. Nevertheless, the number of indentured foreign workers likely to be authorized by the new law has shot up to at least 300,000 annually.

Which firms are spending big bucks to screw American tech workers? Unbeknown to most Internet users, Facebook is the tip of the spear of an anti-American worker, multimillion-dollar lobbying juggernaut. Facebook and its insanely rich corporate allies claim they need foreigners because they can’t find enough qualified U.S. citizens.

The tech giants are lying. There are plenty of unemployed IT workers right here. Officially, tech sector unemployment is a relatively low 3.7 percent. Millions of tech-savvy Americans are out there looking for jobs. Yet big tech doesn’t want them.

“If anything, we have too many hightech workers: More than 9 million people have degrees in a science, technology, engineering or math field, but only about 3 million have a job in one,” EPI 10 Vice President Ross Eisenbrey wrote in

OUT OF THE PANHANDLE, INTO THE FIRE Boise city attorneys modeled anti-panhandling ordinance on California law with questionable outcomes WIRT’s Stop the Frack Attack protests are scheduled for outside of offices of the Idaho Department of Lands across the Gem State.

GEORGE PRENTICE If legal staff at City Hall is to be believed, the city of Boise has a panhandling problem. But they would have been hard-pressed to prove it on Saturday, June 1. As residents enjoyed a near-perfect 75 degrees—and with both public markets going full tilt—thousands of pedestrians filled city streets and stores. With so many potential panhandling targets, Boise Weekly made a point of visiting three highprofile locations that have served as locales for panhandlers: the corner of 15th and Front streets (under the I-184 connector), outside the Albertsons store at 17th and State streets, and outside the Winco store on Front Street.

Yet, not one panhandler was there at 1 p.m.

We returned three hours later to the same locations: zero. Not one cardboard sign. Not one beggar.

That’s not to say that somewhere, someone wasn’t asking for a handout. And no one at City Hall envisions a Boise where homeless never plead for help.

But a trio of newly proposed ordinances want to discourage panhandling, if not wipe the practice from city streets.

“These ordinances come in response from Boise business owners, residents and motorists who are reporting to us that they have experienced increased harassing or panhandling,” Boise Police Chief Mike Masterson told City Council members May 21. “These are issues that are continuing to have a negative impact on the city’s use of public space.”

Masterson sat alongside Assistant Boise City Attorney Ralph Blount as they formally unveiled what they called their first drafts of three proposals: The Aggressive Solicitation Ordinance, which would penalize solicitation for money on a roadway or while blocking pedestrians’ right-of-way; The Public Placement Ordinance, which would require a permit for erecting a tent or placing tables or chairs on public property; and, perhaps the most controversial of the three, The Civil Sidewalks Ordinance, which would prohibit sitting on publicly owned infrastructures such as planters or trashcans, or lying on the pavement within 10 feet of a building entrance or exit.

The Civil Sidewalks Ordinance has an interesting origin, copied from cities that have little—if anything—in common with Boise.

“This particular ordinance is adopted after similar ordinances in Santa Cruz [N.M.] and San Francisco,” Blount told council members during the May 21 workshop session.

But what Blount didn’t tell city leaders was that the San Francisco ordinance—approved by voters and not a city council—has since come under considerable scrutiny.

In fact, Boise Weekly has learned that WWW. B OISEWEEKLY.C O M

FRACKING WITH IDAHO: ACTIVISTS PUSH BACK AGAINST STATE, GAS EXPLORERS

Boise’s proposed anti-panhandling ordinances would prohibit sitting on bike racks, planters or trashcans; lying within 10 feet of a building entrance or exit; or standing in the public’s right of way.

an independent review conducted in March 2012 by the nonpartisan, nonprofit City Hall Fellows found the majority of key San Francisco merchants polled said the ordinance had “not been effective at abating aggressive panhandling, soliciting or loitering in the proximity of their businesses.” Additionally, at the busiest of San Francisco’s police stations, 90 percent of ordinance citations were issued to repeat violators of the law and more than half were issued to just four individuals who were chronically homeless—while struggling with significant health conditions. Furthermore, 58 percent of merchants said that the number of individuals sitting in front of their businesses has stayed the same or increased since the law was enacted.

“Why are these ordinances even being considered in Boise?” asked Ritchie Eppink, legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union of Idaho. “The city of Boise already has an aggressive panhandling ordinance.”

Eppink was referring to Title 6, Chapter 1, Section 7 of the existing Boise City Code, making it a misdemeanor to “beg in a public place with the intent to intimidate another into giving money or goods” or to “obstruct pedestrians or vehicular traffic in a public place.”

Additionally, Title 6, Chapter 1, Section 9 of the Code makes it a misdemeanor for “tumultuous or offensive conduct,” better known as disturbing the peace.

“If the mayor, City Council and the chief of police are concerned about people harassing other people on the streets of Boise, the existing mechanisms should be enough,” said Eppink.

When the first drafts of the ordinances were unveiled May 21, Council members Lauren McLean and TJ Thomson had the most questions for Blount and Masterson.

(Council members Elaine Clegg and David Eberle were absent from the workshop session.)

“The city of Boise takes the issue of homelessness very seriously; we’ve probably taken more action than any other city in Idaho,” Thomson told BW. “That said, I have some questions. For example, I want City Hall and other public areas to be a place where people can freely congregate.”

Thomson said his first impressions of the proposed ordinances were mostly positive, but wasn’t a fan of “listing out where you can’t sit or lie down.”

“Let me put it this way: You shouldn’t need a color-coded map to the city that tells you where you can sit and read a book or lie down and look up at the sky,” said Thomson. “And I want to see street performers protected. I love street performers and believe they really add to the city’s vibe.”

Through the better part of the hourlong May 21 workshop, Bieter regularly reached for his gavel to curb public discourse on the issue.

8 “Sir, I’m going to have to ask you

In response to what it says is the certain prospect of “fracking”—the controversial process of shooting high-pressured liquids and solids into the earth’s core to enhance gas flows—in Idaho, the environmental activist group Wild Idaho Rising Tide is launching what it calls a “frack attack” of its own.

WIRT members will take their concerns to Boise’s North Sixth Street Friday, June 7, when they’ll protest outside the offices of the Idaho Department of Lands—one in a series of statewide demonstrations outside IDL offices slated for June 3-9.

“It’s a way to show our state government that plenty of citizens aren’t pleased with how state lands could potentially be used, and also how our state water would be impacted by this drilling,” WIRT spokeswoman Helen Yost told Boise Weekly.

But IDL officials insist that its most recent gas drilling permit, from Texas-based Alta Mesa Services, includes “no plans outlined for hydraulic fracturing.” Alta Mesa’s drilling plans target several private and public land parcels in Payette County.

IDL does concede that approximately half of the currently completed wells in Idaho will need what it calls “a small frac[k] job,” requiring thousands of gallons of pressurized water.

“This IDL statement represents written proof that Idaho is about to be fracked in a similar, although smaller, way as the places most poisoned by this risky extraction method,” countered WIRT’s Yost.

The IDL said that newly adopted Idaho rules “require modern drilling practices and well integrity tests,” and that fracking “does not induce earthquakes that can be felt on the surface.”

Yost said the IDL should be reminded that fracking “would explode subsurface rocks in a state with the fifth-most seismic activity.” In particular, she said,Payette County sandstone reservoirs are “not tight,” thus making the sands “more porous and vulnerable to methane and drilling chemical migration.”

“Idahoans are not well-versed in oil and gas drilling,” said Yost. “On some level, we feel like we’re being taken advantage of by the industry because our state officials seem uninformed about the consequences.”

Which is why her group will have a presence in the coming days outside of IDL offices in Coeur d’Alene, Deary, Idaho Falls, Kamiah, Orofino, Priest Lake, St. Maries and Sandpoint, in addition to the June 7 Boise protest.

BIKENOMICS This Congress Actually Gets Things Moving AMY MERRILL The tangible bonus of a thriving cycling community—health and environmental benefits aside—is that fewer wheels help fuel the economy.

“Bicyclists shop closer to home and shop more often,” April Economides told attendees of the so-called “Bicycle Congress” May 30 at Boise State University— a gathering meant to spur conversation about bike-friendly business districts, a subject she’s been studying for more than a decade.

Economides—who founded Long Beach, Calif.-based Green Octopus Consulting, which focuses on sustainability issues—added that cyclists tend to spend more money, cumulatively, when compared to their driving counterparts. She cited a Fort Worth, Texas, restaurant that saw sales rise by 200 percent following the installation of bike lanes and racks outside.

Following ten years of studying bike friendly business districts and the reasons for biking local, Economides was anxious to share evidence that she insisted proved that a greater proportion of cyclists support their local economies when compared to motorists.

Bicyclists are exposed to more “spending temptation,” Economides said, because of more frequent and smaller trips to the store.

Rather than heading to a big box or chain retailer, cyclists often frequent small, local businesses, she said.

But local congress attendees cautioned that accessibility and bike parking remains an issue.

Karen Gallagher, transportation planner with Boise Planning and Development Services, discussed a perception shared by some businesses that any expansion of bike access could mean a loss of parking spots, causing a potential conflict in heavy bike areas.

George Knight, founder of the Boise State Bicycle Congress, now in its ninth year, with guest speaker April Economides, founder of Green Octopus Consulting, which focuses on sustainability issues.

“We know we have a need for bikes on the streets,” said Gallagher. “You can see that because of the bikes, what with all they’re attached to, but business owners are very attached to the idea of parking spaces for driving purposes; so it’s a trade-off.”

Economides was quick to point out that approximately 40 percent of all trips in the United States are two miles or less, and more than two-thirds of those trips are driven—even when car parking is an obvious concern. That’s reason enough, Economides theorized, for merchants to provide storefront bike parking.

“A lot of it comes down to habit,” Economides said. “There are so many times we could easily hop on a bike and get that gallon of milk.”

As a car-free bicyclist, Economides claims to save $8,000-$10,000 annually. She rents a vehicle when necessary, but primarily gets around with her 7-year-old daughter on a tandem bike, which they affectionately refer to as their “bike limo.”

The goal: bike local, shop local.

to leave,” Bieter told one citizen who interrupted the meeting with his displeasure. The man was escorted out by two Boise police officers.

“We’re not going to get anywhere if you disrupt the meeting,” Bieter told another opponent—a woman who was also escorted out by police.

“Folks, we’re going to have a full hearing on this,” said Bieter.

“You’ll get an opportunity to testify, but we’re not going to get anywhere if you disrupt this meeting.”

But Eppink is hoping that the anti-panhandling proposals won’t even get as far as a public hearing.

“We’re going to try to educate the public, the council, the mayor’s office and the police department about what the result of these laws actually is versus what they think it will be,” said Eppink. “After all of the questions from council and further consideration, we’re hoping 7

Congress attendees split to different corners of Boise State’s Simplot Ballroom, forming into groups representing their efforts: advocacy, business, government and university. But they were all similar in that each discussed ways to grow Boise’s business districts in cyclist-friendly ways.

Karen Ballard, administrator of the Division of Tourism at the Idaho Department of Commerce, proposed adding a bike icon to maps in the tourism map database.

“Anything that’s bike-friendly,” Ballard suggested. “Be it an event or attraction such as a hotel that has loaner bikes or even bikes to rent on the property, it could be able to have a bike icon right there.”

Ballard and most local attendees of the bike congress agreed that infrastructure (more bike parking, bike lanes) was key to making Boise bike-friendly, but Economides stressed that perception-busting was also integral.

“So many people think bicycling is unsafe and car driving is safe, when the numbers are completely the opposite,” she said.

this won’t even turn up on a council agenda again.”

But Eppink is also a realist.

“If it does resurface, I can guarantee you that the ACLU will be there,” he said. “The ACLU has fought ordinances like this all over the country, and until we’re shown that there are some reasons why these ordinances are needed and that they would actually address real problems, we’re prepared to fight.”

Eppink said the city was on a path to spend money on a legal fight and enforcement when its funds could be spent better elsewhere.

“We’re not aware of a problem with homeless people in Boise.

We’re aware that there’s a problem with housing opportunity in Boise,” he said. “The city of Boise hasn’t, that I’m aware of, been making any significant effort to improve the amount of crisis housing, transitional housing or even affordable housing. Now, that’s what we have a problem with.”

MARY THOMAS A cup of coffee with Kahlua GEORGE PRENTICE

JER EM Y LANNINGHAM

After 30 years in the business, Mary Thomas is ready to hang up her… uh… well... there really isn’t much for her to hang up.

Thomas is dancer—she prefers the term entertainer—at Boise’s Spearmint Rhino, a so-called “gentlemen’s club.” And while she has been a familiar face—not to mention legs and cleavage— to a (ahem) growing audience, Thomas is not a stripper. Boise’s ordinance prohibiting public nudity keeps her in a bikini.

“You can see a lot more at a beach than a club,” said Thomas.

But men in Idaho, California, Hawaii, Nevada and Oregon have seen plenty of Thomas for three decades.

Boise Weekly sat down with Thomas at a downtown Boise coffee shop to talk about her professional name (Kahlua), her personal life (two kids, three grandkids) and her daily dance.

week, I was good. I started dancing in California clubs.

Did you travel?

Did I ever. Clubs in California, Nevada, Oregon, Hawaii and Mexico City.

Tell me what you were like as a young girl.

I loved sports. You name it, I lettered in almost every sport. My brother and I were raised by my mother.

How did you mother make ends meet?

She was a banker, a nurse, a secretary and bus driver. She drove a bus for boys and girls with handicaps. That included my younger brother, Frankie.

Did you look out for him?

I took him to his prom. All the girls turned him down and when he asked me, I told him, “I thought you would never ask.”

What were your hopes and dreams as a teenager?

I didn’t really have any. I became pregnant pretty early. I had my first child, a daughter, when I was in high school. She’s 27 now. I have a son who is 26.

When did you start dancing or stripping?

I was 16.

Hold it; that’s illegal.

I was doing private shows. I would call an

WWW. B OISEWEEKLY.C O M

agency and lie about my age. I didn’t look my age and the money was good. I’m 46 years old.

What kind of money were you making back then?

Four hundred dollars a night or more.

But a private show is usually a bunch of guys and you.

I would bring a bouncer. I may be blonde, but I’m not stupid.

When you first danced in a club, did you know what to do?

My very first night, a woman by the name of Marilyn Chambers told me what to do.

Wasn’t Marilyn Chambers a pretty famous porn star from the 1970s?

It was 1984 and she was just hanging out in the club that night. You can’t get any better than that.

Could you look at the men while you were up on stage?

You really start sweating a lot at first. I needed to drink a Bacardi and Coke. And I really couldn’t look at the guys, but within a

What’s the most you ever made in one night?

Six-thousand five-hundred dollars.

How is that possible?

Famous people.

Would I know who these people are?

I won’t tell you.

How many?

OK, it was one actor.

Where?

A club in Reno, Nev., 10 years ago and that’s all I’m going to say.

How has all of this impacted your relationships with men?

Men have a lot of insecurity.

But can you understand that most guys couldn’t adjust to what you do for other men?

That’s their problem. Look, I have a rule: If you don’t want me in this business, then take care of me for three 10 months. We’ll sign a contract so that I

CITIZEN 9

can go back to school and learn something else. Then, I’ll pay you back.

Aren’t some men dangerously obsessive?

That’s true. It happens all the time.

What are the warning signs?

When you come in to the club, you’re sober, maybe you’re dressed nice. Swell. Next, you start drinking and maybe kick it up; that’s cool. But when you’re drunk, I can tell who you really are, good or bad.

Have you dated customers?

Only three.

But it sounds as if your No. 1 way of meeting a guy might be at the club.

Pretty much; but right now, I’m not interested.

Have you ever been stalked?

It’s rather scary. I had security live with me for six months, and I had to pay for it.

Do you dance on a set schedule at Spearmint Rhino?

There’s isn’t a schedule. Girls begin checking in at 3 p.m. and the last check-in is 9 o’clock. No other girls can come in and dance after that.

How long do you dance?

Anywhere from five to 10 hours, five or six days a week.

I must note that there are a few little ones nearby waving and looking at us from inside the coffee shop.

I have three grandbabies: twin boys who are 5 and a girl who is 4 years old.

Do you think most men who watch you dance know that you’re a grandmother?

Are you kidding? I brag about it. I spend Saturdays with them. Lately, I’ve been teaching them how to play basketball and soccer.

What do the grandchildren call you?

Nana. Grandma is for someone who is old.

That’s not me.

Your professional name, when you dance, is Kahlua.

For 25 years now. I was Cinnamon, Terminator and then Kahlua.

Where did Kahlua come from?

I was in a Reno, Nev., club and the owner wanted me to change my name from Terminator. I closed my eyes, pointed to the bar and there it was: a bottle of Kahlua.

Isn’t it fair to say that your success has been based on your genes?

It’s the attitude. If you don’t have it in your mind and heart, get out of the business.

Do you make eye contact with the men now?

Absolutely. I check everything out.

RALL The New York Times. “That’s largely because pay levels don’t reward their skills. Salaries in computer- and mathrelated fields for workers with a college degree rose only 4.5 percent between 2000 and 2011. If these skills are so valuable and in such short supply, salaries should at least keep pace with the tech companies’ profits, which have exploded.”

On average, the typical unemployed U.S. tech worker is better trained than the foreign workers who are taking their jobs.

Large-scale farms claim they can’t find Americans willing to work, but once again, there are lots of Americans willing to do the job—but the big farms pass them by.

“When Jose gets on the bus to come here from Mexico, he is committed to the work,” Jon Schwalls, director of operations at Southern Valley farm in Georgia, said. “It’s like going into the military. He leaves his family at home. The work is hard, but he’s ready. A domestic [American citizen] wants to know: What’s the pay? What are the conditions?”

Southern Valley is one of numerous farm operations being sued by “Americans, mostly black, who live near the farms and say they 6

want the field work but cannot get it because it is going to Mexicans. They contend that they are illegally discouraged from applying for work and treated shabbily by farmers who prefer the foreigners for their malleability,” reports The Times.

We know Americans are willing to do field work because, until the 1970s, two-thirds of farm workers were U.S. citizens and onethird were foreigners. Now it’s the other way around. Farms were recently forced to concede that their legally required efforts to recruit Americans for field work “had not been made or had been intentionally not serious.”

No wonder the immigration bill has bipartisan support. Both the Democrats and the Republicans work for their big corporate donors, not for us. Business wants salaries low, labor weak. There’s only one reason to import foreign labor: to depress wages.

If the supporters of import-more-foreigners immigration reform weren’t trying to screw over American workers, they’d grant permanent resident status to foreign workers so that they could stay legally, join unions, and negotiate on an equal footing with employers. But that would defeat the purpose.

The

LAST FARM AROUND Historic farm at center of land use debate on Boise Bench

BY A NDREW C RI SP

WWW. B OISEWEEKLY.C O M

Amid thousands of homes that make up the West Bench neighborhood, Spaulding Ranch is the last farm. Situated on 20 unblemished acres, the original, well maintained, centuryold farmhouse, barn and outbuildings are all that’s left of the 80 acres that the Spaulding family originally settled in 1896. Almon Spaulding worked the land as a productive farm while his wife, Mary, worked as one of Boise’s first female physicians.

But over the last century, developers chopped up farmland on the West Bench and sold it to homeowners eager to live on larger lots and in bigger houses than their North End counterparts. Slowly, the Spaulding Ranch was subdivided, and found itself hemmed in by new neighborhoods, winding streets, cul-de-sacs and two-car garages. Now, at the edge of the property line, tall fences separate unused pasture from the manicured lawns of one- and two-story homes.

On one end of the property, a yard dotted with shade trees holds assorted structures once used on the productive farm. Nearby stands an idyllic red barn, once stocked with hay, and the Spaulding family home, built in 1905. A stone fence invites visitors into the shaded front yard before the picturesque two-story house. One can almost imagine a curl of smoke rising from the red brick chimney.

“Where else in greater suburban Boise can you find a 20-acre pasture surrounded as it is by housing?” asked Dan Everhart of Preservation Idaho, an organization keen to protect what’s left of the ranch. “But you can look at it and immediately you can see what it might have looked like here, even 30 years ago, 40 years ago certainly. And by the time you get back 50 years ago, this was mostly undeveloped.”

But developers could bulldoze one of the few surviving testaments of early Americana, paving over Spaulding Ranch to create rows of humdrum homes in a neighborhood already lacking any sign of its heritage.

#ALL TO BOOK YOUR 3TAYCATION Too often small pockets of metropolitan farmland have been dismissed as barren places ready for suburban development. Between 2002 and 2007, according to the United States Department of Agriculture Census of Agriculture, the housing boom consumed 14 percent of Ada County’s farmland, while Canyon County lost 4 percent. Yet fertile land with ditch irrigation is a vanishing nonrenewable resource. “Agriculture is our heritage,� said Idaho’s Urban Land Institute, reporting in 2012. “It is a lifestyle choice, and a way to build community. Small- and large-scale commercial agriculture is an important economic engine that generates jobs and livelihoods.�

Outside of Boise, farmers still make a living on agriculture. Janie Burns owns and operates Meadowlark Farms, raising livestock and crops on a farm in Nampa. Burns’ land supplies farmers markets and families. Fifty years ago, and 50 years before that, farms like hers were common on the bench south of the city. Burns said qualities like access to water and other resources attract farmers and developers to a piece of property. But over time as farms are squeezed out by residential communities, agriculture, as a practice, will wither on the vine. “For example, let’s say a farmer used to be surrounded by farms, and now they’re surrounded by houses. So you don’t have anyone who can help you, and farming—there’s a lot of independence and there’s also a lot of dependence, including on your neighbors for their skills, and maybe their manpower during parts of the year,� said Burns.

Jaap Voss, director and associate professor of Community and Regional Planning at Boise State University, spoke about the phenomenon using different terms. Voss centered in on the values established by a community. “I always tell people I was born right next to a cheese factory. I can tell you, it stunk. But I never complained about it, because it was part of growing up in a rural area,� he said.

Those values can be upended by rapid growth, as new communities move into once rural areas and ďŹ ll them up with different

priorities. “Everybody who lived in town was related to agricultural activities. Nobody really cared until there was a new suburban development from people who came from another part of the country, who didn’t share in the community,� said Voss, who grew up in The Netherlands. “It was basically because they came from a very different background, didn’t understand the values, and didn’t understand what was going on in these other communities.�

Burns said it’s hard for a community to realize the impact of dwindling farmlands, in part because food still shows up on grocery store shelves. “It’s so insidious, the loss of a farm going out of business, and a subdivision going in,� said Burns. “It takes time and it’s not a jolt to the system, it’s just a slow leaking wound. It’s a death by a thousand cuts.�

THIS IS CALLED URBAN SPRAWL Not long after Harvey and Katherine Caron purchased the property from the Spauldings in the 1940s, the city annexed the growing area. “In the mid ’60s—I think at the objection of a lot of people who were already living up here—the city annexed at least this part of the Bench, encouraging further development,� said Everhart. “Because as soon as you have annexation, the city’s responsible for all the infrastructure, like sewer.�

Everhart called it a “classic� tale, one that’s not unique to Boise. “This is called urban sprawl. And it’s actually much less urban sprawl now because we’re much closer here to the urban core than they are in Kuna, so it’s hard to call it sprawl. But in reality, that’s what it is. And it’s all triggered by the post-war proliferation of the personal automobile, and the ability for someone to leave their job in the city and drive 10 minutes and be somewhere where they can have a single family,� he said.

district—and late last year, owner Northside Management expressed interest in building homes on 15 acres, leaving five acres and the original buildings intact. In order to do that, they’d have to ask the city’s Historic Preservation Commission to lift the designation.

“They understand the complexity of what they’re requesting,” said Everhart.

Northside would be forced to ask the Historic Preservation Commission to not only remove the historic district designation, but also for permits to move forward with development. At a Feb. 6 meeting of the West Bench Neighborhood Association, Everhart said Preservation Idaho planned to oppose any request to alter Spaulding Ranch’s historic designation.

“We’re not going in with a plan to cut Solomon’s baby in half,” Everhart told attendees.

If the residents who live near Spaulding Ranch want to join in helping to save the last farm, he told the association, neighbors will have to do so with a grassroots effort. That means turning out to a public meeting of the commission should Northside apply for redesignation.

“Our most important topic tonight is Spaulding Ranch,” West Bench Neighborhood Association President Betty Brigante told nearly a dozen residents during the night of Everhart’s presentation. “Because we may need to take action.”

But not all members agreed about the fate of the farm.

“It’s their land,” said one attendee. “We live in a capitalist society. They can do what they want with it.”

There was little consensus at that meeting as to how the neighborhood as a whole might respond. Eventually, the group agreed to let the Neighborhood Association oppose any application to remove historic district designation.

Though Spaulding Ranch is a symbol for preservationists, Voss notes that if they succeed in saving the parcel from development, the 20-acre farm is still just an empty patch of land. Without a more defined use—by setting it aside for historic preservation, to combat sprawl, as a symbol of Idaho’s heritage or for a city park—Spaulding Ranch becomes an obstacle rather than an asset.

“Right now I think it is underutilized land,” said Voss. “It’s just kind of sitting there as a former farm. We’re not taking advantage of it as a farm, and we’re not taking advantage of it as open space.”

Voss noted 20 acres wouldn’t go far for a single family looking to make a livelihood, but perhaps as part park and part community garden, Spaulding Ranch and the Bench’s agricultural history could take a more prominent place in the community.

But Burns mentioned a proposal that some residents of the neighborhood already hope will take place—returning the land to its roots.

“You could really do a lot to help cement a better relationship to food, especially for children,” said Burns. She acknowledged, “You can grow a whole bunch of food on it, but it’s kind of paled in comparison to the area we actually need to grow food in this valley. In the big picture, it’s not much.

But I would suggest its greater value is as an educational opportunity.”

What if it’s not too late?

Boise historian J.M. Neill, in his manuscript City Limits, wrote that even in the 1950s, officials recognized the problem posed by the growing, amorphous boundaries of the Boise metropolitan area. Its people, however, seemed reticent to do anything to slow the march of “progress.”

“Boiseans have long since accepted the apparent inevitability of westward metropolitan growth, placing the city at the eastern edge of an increasingly extended urban area now stretching over 30 miles to Caldwell and beyond,” wrote Neill.

It’s a trend that began in the city’s early years, first with the North and West End neighborhoods settled by wealthy businessmen and blue collar workers alike, just short streetcar rides away from downtown Boise. After World War II, the growing economy, rising population and cheap gas made new developments farther from the urban core a reality for many Boise families. Located just miles from downtown, the West Bench area, then just outside the city boundary, experienced the early stages of encroaching urban development.

Now the farmland surrounding Spaulding Ranch has been subdivided into a patchwork of neighborhoods, built in small phases by dozens of different developers. One road, with the manufactured name of North Sawgrass Way, dead-ends in a cul-de-sac west of Spaulding Ranch, bisected by numerous other dreamed up roads-to-nowhere, like Silkwood Circle and Innsbrook Court. Cars from hundreds of homes feed the main north-south route, Cole Road, with 2011 average traffic volumes topping 20,000 cars per day, according to Ada County Highway District.

Planners wrote in Blueprint Boise, the city’s comprehensive plan, that the West Bench neighborhood encompasses more than 9,000 acres. Single-family residential uses occupy 53 percent of that area; nearly 3 million square feet of new nonresidential building area was added in the West Bench since 2000, more than any other planning area. As of 2010, residents of the West Bench made up 29.4 percent of Boise’s total population at 69,975. By 2025, that’s expected to balloon to 82,618.

Though located only miles from downtown, the average commute time for a West Bench worker in 2000 was 19 minutes, time often spent at a crawl along the treeless Chinden Boulevard or by the strip mall-laden, no-longer-accurately named Fairview Avenue.

“The West Bench has seen some of the most intense growth since 2000 of any planning area, with over 21 percent of all new residential units and just under 25 percent of nonresidential construction citywide,” wrote city planners in Blueprint Boise.

In the early 1990s, Spaulding resident Katherine Caron, fearful of an Ada County Highway District plan to drive increased traffic loads through her property, successfully listed the farmstead and its pasture in the National Register of Historic Places. In 1996, the city of Boise approved Caron’s proposal to designate the land as a historic district, the seventh such district in the city, much like Hyde Park and Old Boise.

In 2005, the Carons asked the city to remove the historic designation and allow them to sell and develop the lot. However, the city denied the request, in part because little had changed since the Carons’ original request to designate the property. In 2006, the property was purchased—still designated a historic

LIPSINC 16TH ANNIVERSARY NORTH FORK CHAMPIONSHIP Outdoor enthusiasts have long revered the frothing rapids that make up sections of the North Fork of the Payette River. Each spring, the melting snows from Idaho’s mountains turn the river into a whitewater playland. Kayakers from across the country will test their mettle against the river—and each other—in the second annual North Fork Championship.

From Thursday, June 6, to Saturday, June 8, competitors gather in Crouch to compete for glory and a $4,500 purse. Admission to watch the action is free to the public and so are the sights and sounds of river riders being pummeled. The first kayakers hit the river Thursday, June 6, at 11 a.m. Races continue daily through Saturday, ending with the Elite race Saturday, June 8, at high noon, when the best of the best compete for first place.

After the competition, the Elite Division hosts a “stoke float” downriver to Banks, and any kayaker who feels comfy on the North Fork is free to join the aquatic parade. It’s a way to unwind after a hard weekend of just watching the pros have all the fun.

For those who need to do a little armchair kayaking, competition organizers have added a night of celebration in Boise. On Thursday, beginning at 7 p.m. at the Egyptian Theatre, the public can check out the Melt Awards, showcasing photographs of kayaking daredevils braving the white foam. The public will then be able to vote for their favorite images. Tickets cost $12 in advance or $13 at the door.

Kayak competition: Thursday, June 6, 11 a.m., Friday, June 7, 5 p.m., and Saturday, June 8, noon. FREE. Crouch, northforkchampionship.com. Melt Awards: Thursday, June 6, 7 p.m. $12 adv., $13 door, The Egyptian Theatre, 700 W. Main St., Boise, 208-345-0454.

when Fulton Street between Eighth and Ninth streets is shut down for the party.

Boise faves Bill Coffey and His Cash-Money Cousins, Edmund Dantes and Andrew Coba will provide the soundtrack, ranging from traditional country to pop and jazz. Music starts at 7 p.m. and continues through the night.

Turning 16 is a big deal—for most teenage girls, that special little number is cause for a blowout party, an excuse for a more mature (boarding on slinky) new dress and being the center of attention. The lovely ladies of LipsInc are no exception, but when it comes to Idaho’s first professional female impersonation troupe hitting sweet 16, you can damn well bet it’s going to be a party to remember.

The cake hits the fan for two nights—Friday, June 7-Saturday, June 8—at 8:30 p.m. at Balcony Club. The trio of dazzling dames will be joined by special guest Spyke Naugahyde.

LipSinc’s 16th anniversary will feature the bawdy, buxom and burlesque. Though the troupe performs its share of drag-o-grams and parties, this two-day fest makes the most of Balcony’s atmosphere: instants of illumination by the party lights and thumping tunes over the public address—not to mention the full bar.

Doors open nightly at 7:30 p.m., and tickets cost $20, but reservations are recommended if you want to be part of this particularly sweet 16. Just make sure you’re 21 or older—Balcony is a grown-ups-only sort of place.

8:30 p.m. $20. Balcony Club, 150 N. Eighth St., Boise, 208-368-0405, lipsinc.net.

Area food trucks Rice Works, Saint Lawrence Gridiron, Archie’s Place and High Ho Pizza will feed partygoers while Goody’s will be on hand hawking ice cream.

The event is an all-ages affair and tickets cost $10 for adults or $5 for students with a valid ID. This shindig not only closes BCT’s most recent season in style, but money raised through the event goes to support the theater company’s next season, which will begin this fall.

Savoring some Idaho vino? Cheers to that.

SUNDAY JUNE 9 taste SAVOR IDAHO Something about breaking out of the doldrums of winter fills people with the urge to skip around sipping wine and noshing the finest treats like a modern Dionysus.

Thankfully, culinary hedonism can be found at Savor Idaho, a tasting event set in the lush Idaho Botanical Garden, Sunday, June 9, from 2-6 p.m. Now celebrating its fifth year, Savor Idaho serves as a widely popular celebration of Idaho’s wine and culinary industries, hosted by the Idaho Grape Growers and Wine Producers Commission. Visitors spend the day sampling the wares of more than two dozen wineries and numerous restaurants in a summery outdoor setting.

Each visitor is handed a commemorative wine glass, from which they’ll sip the fruit of the vine, poured by the folks at Cold Springs, Ste. Chapelle, Syringa, Cinder and many other wineries. It’s worth noting that more than a few of the grapes squeezed into those wine bottles hail from the Sunny Slope region in Canyon County—Idaho’s only American Viticulture Area.

To soak up all that vino, visitors are invited to pick up snacks offered by local purveyors like City Peanut Shop, Kanak Attack Catering, Nepalese bistro Momo Dumpling, Hyde Park mainstay 13th Street Pub and Grill and many more. While walking about the gardens, stop to smell the flowers and catch up with Savor Idaho exhibitors, including Ketchum Kitchens, ROW Adventures and House of Wine.

WEDNESDAY JUNE 12 charming FEAST II: A CROWDFUNDED MICROGRANT DINNER The idea for the first The Charm School Feast in March was simple: get a bunch of people to show up at the Visual Arts Collective and pay $20 for dinner. After a series of presentations by local artists, the guests would each vote for their favorite. That artist would then walk away with a bunch of cash for his or her project.

The song remains the same for Feast II: A Crowdfunded Microgrant Dinner in Boise, which takes place Wednesday, June 12, at 6 p.m. For $20, attendees score a meal catered

by The Basque Market while having the chance to support a local artist. Feast I winner Sam Johnson will update the crowd on the progress he has made on his life-size glowing dinosaur puppet, King Dazbog, and the competition for the next winner will begin.

This time, the 10 presenters include author Douglas Bolles, bookmaker and visual artist Erin Mallea and photographer Whitney Rearick. Beer, wine and cocktails will be available and the winning presenter walks away with the pot of contributions. This time around, the folks at The Charm School are hoping to top the $1,000 raised by Feast I. Crowdfunding is a way for Boiseans to make their voices heard in their hometown arts scene by using the combined powers of democracy and money. That syncs nicely with The Charm School’s mission statement—to actualize creative projects and create a space where ideas are meaningfully exchanged. In March, Boise funded a 25-foot-tall sauropod.

If you live in Idaho, you likely either own or have had occasion to use an axe. You can buy a plain old splitting axe at Home Depot for $35, or you can go in for the kind of heirloom piece of equipment that’s a testament to quality, longevity and design.

For that, you need an axe with a pedigree. Enter Best Made Co.’s American Felling Axe, which lays low trees and can also moonlight as wall art. These axes are crafted in North Carolina, where fourth generation axe-makers drop forge high-carbon American steel into a Dayton pattern head. The handle (“helve,” in wood-chopping lingo) is lathed out of Appalachian hickory with a slender form to maximize safety and efficiency.

In short, it’s the kind of axe woodsmen pass down to their kids. But it’s clear New York graphic designer and Best Made Co. founder Peter Buchanan-Smith had something more than pure utility in mind when he began selling axes in 2009. Every felling axe is stained and the helve is hand-painted. Two models are named after Idaho towns: The “Challis” has a white and yellow handle capped by a black band, while “Emmett” has a pea green handle with a red and white stripe.

Every axe also comes numbered with Best Made BEST MADE AMERICAN documentation and a fitted FELLING AXE leather blade guard—perfect $135-$350 bestmadeco.com for inspiring axe jealousy among your friends.

“To the unseen,” Charles Condomine raises his dry gin martini to clink glasses with his wife, Ruth.

Charles and Ruth, the lead characters in Noel Coward’s comedy Blithe Spirit, are raising their spirits before the town’s eccentric medium, Madame Arcati, arrives at their house to raise otherworldly spirits from the grave.

Though the Condomines have arranged the seance in jest, something naturally goes awry. Soon, Charles’ deceased first wife, Elvira, appears as an “ectoplasmic manifestation” visible only to him. “I’ve been married to Ruth for five years and you’ve been dead for seven,” Charles says to Elvira, his voice shaking, while Ruth watches with bewildered concern. “Not dead, Charles,” Elvira interrupts. “’Passed over.’ It’s considered vulgar to say ‘dead’ where I come from.”

Blithe Spirit, the opening production in Idaho Shakespeare Festival’s 37th season, Blithe Spirit runs through Sunday, June 30. is a comedic romp best described as Death Becomes Her IDAHO SHAKESPEARE with a dash of Oscar Wilde’s FESTIVAL sass. The characters fire off 5657 Warm Springs Ave., witty repartee—“Was she more 208-336-9221, idahoshakespeare.org physically attractive than I am?” pries the jealous Ruth. “That was a very tiresome question, dear, and fully deserves the wrong answer,” sighs the dapper Charles—and fling multisyllabic insults like “guttersnipe” and “astral bigamist.”

ISF’s cast brings this rapid-fire dialogue to life with exceptional vigor. Maggie Kettering is captivating as Ruth, who blends the poise of Mad Men’s Joan with the nagging, judgmental snarl of Betty. Shanara Gabrielle, in her ISF debut, is bewitching as Elvira, slinking about coquettishly in a clingy silver dress with whitish-blonde curls. And Eric Damon Smith lends Charles a twinkly eyed, mustachioed charm. But the real show-stealer is the sturdy Madame Arcati, played by Laurie Birmingham, who ISF regulars will remember from last season’s hilarious turn as Juliet’s raunchy Nurse. Clad in Kim Krumm Sorenson’s delightfully garish attire—velour jackets, iridescent purple suits, a cylindrical Shriners’ hat—Birmingham provides the production with a hearty dose of physical comedy, tumbling over furniture and passing out during her numerous trances.

But even the best production can’t make up for the fact that the play’s subject matter feels outdated. Written in five feverish days in the midst of the Blitz of 1941, Coward’s creation combines many of the era’s familiar female stereotypes—the harpy shrew, the conniving bombshell, the bumbling maid with the Cockney accent—to make a grand statement best summed up as: “Women, aren’t they exhausting?” And after three hours and two intermissions, that’s quite dispiriting.

1ST THURSDAY

FIRST THURS PICKS Four stops not to miss Thursday, June 6 BW STAFF

NFINIT GALLERY ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

ART SOURCE GALLERY JEWELRY SHOWCASE

In June of 2012, new artist co-op NfiniT Gallery squeezed into a brick storefront at 405 S. Eighth St. in BODO. A year later, the space is a regular stop-off for downtown art patrons. While strolling the streets of Boise this First Thursday, June 6, slip into NfiniT Gallery to help celebrate the shop’s one-year anniversary with food, craft beer from The Ram Brewery and a large selection of work by local artists in a variety of media.

Owner Mark Baccay and his wife, Anita, have plans to enliven the space on First Thursday by installing a new front door that doubles as an original art piece.

“Instead of just a rudimentary means to get into the gallery, we wanted it to be an experience,” said Mark.

A handful of NfiniT artists collaborated to construct the handmade wooden door, inlaid with fused- and etched-glass elements. The door will be available for sale to patrons.

“We’re kind of a family of artists, so this is a chance to collaborate and get as many of our members as possible to work on this door project, so that it’s got a little something from everybody,” he said.

Also on the building’s exterior, Mark plans for a pair of “living walls,” or installations created from rows of green plant life.

Inside the doorway, models will pose as living mannequins to show off fused glass and metalwork jewelry designed by Idaho artists Katy Johnson and Debbie Fischer. While mingling in the gallery, visitors are invited to peruse an e-book project illustrated by a group of St. Joe’s Catholic School students, or enter a drawing to win an original piece of art by one of 19 Idaho artists.

If elegant, handcrafted jewelry tickles your artistic fancy, traipse down to 1015 W. Main St. for a show featuring local jewelry artists at Art Source Gallery.

Equilibrium: Art Jewelry in the Balance features work by Rick Olmstead, Barbara Bowling, Karen Klinefelter, Nancy Hoyt, Kay Seurat and Jan Benson. The creations run the gamut from cloudy, opalescent jewels to stylish leather wraps.

One of Hoyt’s newer pieces is a square sterling silver pendant inlaid with a creamy Owyhee Picture Jasper stone.

“It’s a natural stone that comes from the Owyhee mountain range,” she said.

Hoyt employed the lost wax cast method to create the silver piece, before laying in the stone, which features a coffee brown color that resembles a set of hills, melding with a foreground of creamy white.

Bowling, by comparison, plays with metallurgy to craft ornate cuffs and an intricate Macbeth’s Cauldron forged from vitreous enamel copper, while Seurat’s earrings and necklaces combine precious gems like Cherry Creek Jasper with sterling silver.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Art Source Gallery.

In the years since its inception, in November 1993, the artist coop has grown to 40 artist members and now includes a second location at the Boise Airport.

You can celebrate with the artists during First Thursday, while sipping wine from Indian Creek Winery, enjoying light snacks and listening to music by JB Duo.

WWW. B OISEWEEKLY.C O M

DUCK CLUB POSTER SHOW Crack a book on the history of music and you’re likely to see just as many pictures of posters advertising concerts as you will pictures of the concerts themselves. The art of the times reflects the music of the times and is a crucial companion to understanding a period’s themes and values.

Poster art has been experiencing something of a renaissance in Boise of late thanks to the folks at Duck Club Presents. First Thursday, June 6, Duck Club will host a local concert poster art show at Sage Yoga and Wellness, 242 N. Eighth St., Ste. 200.

“Each piece of art was commissioned to celebrate the shows they highlight,” said Lori Shandro, Duck Club co-founder and the show’s curator.

Rather than being printed en masse at a shop, Duck Club’s concert fliers are screen-printed in limited runs that are numbered and signed by the artist who made them, then sold at the concerts they advertise.

“They’re meant to be commemorative to anyone to whom the show became special,” Shandro said.

The First Thursday art show will feature prints from more than 30 local artists such as James Lloyd, Julia Green and Erin Cunningham, who have created designs for local performances by bands like Delicate Steve, El Ten Eleven, Titus Andronicus and Flashlights.

Prints that didn’t sell out will be available for purchase, but Shandro says that isn’t the point of the exhibition.

“These aren’t a source of profit, but of artistic love and passion for the music,” said Shandro.

The First Thursday event will run from 5:30-9 p.m. and feature music from the Vinyl Preservation Society and wine tasting from Indian Creek. The exhibition will remain up through the end of July.

MING STUDIOS COMPOUND BIANNUAL Compound Biannual could be the name of a pharmaceutical journal or a plastic-gloved prison physical, but in the case of Ming Studios, it’s the collaborative industrial art space’s twice yearly bash, featuring screenprinting and glass-blowing demos, live music, food-truck grub from the Funky Taco and flowing booze.

This First Thursday, June 6, Ming Studios—comprised of Classic Design, Bricolage, Fawn and Foal, Boise Art Glass and Rocket Neon—will open the doors to its shared warehouse space at Sixth and Myrtle streets to host a few guest artists.

Portland, Ore.’s PLANE/AIR Collective is “an ongoing series of art and craft ‘house shows’ in the punk tradition,” featuring puppeteer, sculptor and performance artist Joseph Bryan and ceramicist, textile artist and photographer Kati Von Lehman. The duo will caravan to Boise for a June residency at Ming.

In addition, Ming will host a pop-up shop with Pauli Ochi, director of Ochi Gallery in Ketchum. Ochi will have an array of jewelry, artist prints, books, apparel and ceramics on hand for the evening.

Next door at Bricolage, Boise State University Professor Laurie Blakeslee will present a group show titled Re:Thread, which includes “stitched, sewn, wound, raveled or woven” pieces by artists like Kirsten Furlong, Elijah Jensen, Grant Olsen, Ashley Roshitsh, Chelsea Snow, Jennifer Wood and Melanie Yazzie. The reception takes place from 5-10 p.m.

Meredith Clark crafts chandeliers in her downtown Boise showroom.

CHANDI SHOWROOM SPARKLES FOR FIRST THURSDAY Meredith Clark owns a downtown Boise business and, despite the fact it has been in operation for nearly a year, she just got around to putting up a sign.

As it turns out, Clark’s specialty is chandeliers, not signs.

“Obviously, it’s not the way you want to start a business,” Clark joked. “You want to start with, like, ‘Here I am.’”

But Clark’s company, Chandi Incorporated, doesn’t need major branding in the Treasure Valley, largely because Clark already has a list of celebrity customers placing orders for her classic, contemporary and eclectic designs. High-profile clients like Jennifer Lopez, Greg Kinnear and Jessica Simpson have purchased custom-designed chandeliers. She attributes most of her success to positive word of mouth, and admits that doing work for the rich and famous has bolstered the reputation of her establishment.

“People throw out those names so often as a means of promoting their business,” said Clark. “I mean, I love that I am able to do it, and I have those same people come back to me.”

Clark’s creative process involves discovering the relationship light has with the elements of a particular room.

“I try to get the best idea I CHANDI INCORPORATED can of the space and their style 1110 W. Jefferson St. 1-866-4Chandi and what they are looking for,” chandilighting.com Clark said. “It helps when I can actually go into the space and see it and get to know them a little bit.”

With light from handcrafted chandeliers throwing patterns against Chandi’s bright white walls, the store’s open bay windows at 1110 W. Jefferson St. provide better advertisement for passing customers than most signs ever could.

“I love everyone’s reaction when they walk in,” said Clark.

“It’s my favorite part of it, just seeing how people interact with it and experience what I do.”

Clark will open up her showroom First Thursday, June 6, starting at 5 p.m., with snacks and drinks. Guests can enter to win a drawing for free admission to one of Chandi’s upcoming craft workshops.

“I’m gonna open it up to doing workshops, so we will be doing chandelier workshops and jewelry making,” said Clark.

“I am a firm believer in really encouraging people to express, whatever that means.”

NEWS/NOISE NOISE

MUSIC IN THE CLUBS AND ON THE WATER Treefort Music Fest took a major hit when its headliner Animal Collective canceled days before it was set to take the Main Stage. Fans were disappointed, but the festival endured.

Thankfully, Duck Club Presents announced last week that Animal Collective has rescheduled its Boise appearance for Saturday, Sept. 7, at the Knitting Factory with Dan Deacon opening. TIckets for that show are now on sale and cost $25.

Also on sale are tickets for electronic act Gold Panda, which also canceled its appearance at Treefort.

That show goes down Sunday, Sept. 29, at 8 p.m. at Reef, with Luke Abbott opening.

The show is 18 and up and costs $12 in advance or $14 at the door.

Sun Blood Stories, has been working on its debut album, The Electric Years, for what feels like electric years. The band has finally finished recording and mastering, and is now raising the money to press the album to vinyl. Quite simply, Sun Blood Stories wants your junk.

The band will perform at The Crux Thursday, June 6, and is inviting its fans to bring old stuff they don’t want, which it will then sell or pawn to raise the money to press the album. There will also be a kissing booth.

Now, that’s some good fundraising.

The show is free and music starts at 9 p.m. Storie Grubb and Little Tiny Little People will open.

This week will also see the third annual Idaho City Ride/Skate, which offers a multitude of ways to crack open your dome.

Motorcyclists will meet at Ben’s Crow Inn at noon Sunday, June 9, when they ride en masse to the Idaho City Skatepark for an afternoon of shredding and jams of the wheeled and fretted variety. All others are encouraged to head up anytime after noon.

Bands performing include Social Antidote, Hummingbird of Death, The Sneezbolle, Trigger Itch and Black Lodge (formerly Deaf Kid). The event is free and runs until the ER reaches capacity.

But if you’d prefer a musical performance that won’t leave your head and ears bleeding, then you might want to check out the new Music on the Water series at 3050 N. Lake Harbor Lane, Suite 120. The Thursday series will feature 15 different acts curated by the Idaho Songwriters Association and a selection of local food and wine running through Thursday, Aug. 29.

John Hansen performs Thursday, June 6 at 5 p.m. and tickets start at $15. The full series lineup can be found at musiconthewaterboise.com.

Gold Panda will get cozy with Boise at Reef.

THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY Touring Broadway musical raves on at the Morrison Center JOSH GROSS Though Buddy Holly wrote and recorded some of the best songs of the 20th century, leaving a legacy that would inspire everyone from The Beatles and Iggy Pop to The Strokes and CeeLo Green, the events of his life are far less remarkable than his death at age 22 in an Iowa cornfield.

That story—of being born to a family that wasn’t entirely on board with his music, and of a career cut short before it could go through any wild existential swings or drug addictions—is told in Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story, a touring Broadway revival that takes over the Morrison Center stage Friday, June 7, production of Buddy in 2010, he even studied guitar with Holly’s nephew, Eddy Weir. and Saturday, June 8.

Buddy Holly knows how to charm the saxy ladies.

pher says two actors are required for the part because doing eight, 2 1/2 hour shows a week is too much for one person.

That buddy system was part of what kept the play in business for 12 years in London’s West End, and helped it survive revivals on Broadway and on the touring circuit. Since launching in 1988, the West End, Broadway and touring productions of Buddy have gone through 23 lead actors, according to the show’s website. Those productions have also apparently led to 16 intra-cast-and-crew children—Buddy-babies.

When Christopher swaps out lead vocals with Kurt Jenkins, the other Buddy, he takes over lead guitar duties, which while being a step back from the lead, is still an impressive feat for a man who first touched a guitar in 2010. Christopher is even a seasoned enough musician now to toss out a Blues Brothers reference: Jenkins and Christopher previously shared the lead on a smaller regional production and he says teaming up for the big stage is like “getting the band back together.”

But it isn’t just tunes that harken back to his childhood and the fact that he’s already got the lines down pat that keep bringing Christopher back to the role of Holly. He says he identifies with the character, and that Holly’s gumption was a big inspiration for him to quit his job as an EMT and pursue acting full-time.

“He just always stuck with his guns,” said Christopher. “He knew what he wanted to do and what he was meant to do. Everyone around him in his family was telling him to stop. Growing up, his brothers greased the strings of his fiddle, just so the audience couldn’t hear him playing the fiddle. As soon as he started writing the whole rock ’n’ roll style, he just hit so many walls and he didn’t let that deter him at all.”

A HAWK AND A HACKSAW, JUNE 6, NEUROLUX Old World ballads are brought to life in A Hawk and A Hacksaw, the folk project led by violinist Heather Trost and accordion player Jeremy Barnes, currently the drummer for Neutral Milk Hotel. Though based in arid Albuquerque, N.M., the pair’s instrumental sound combines American folk-pop elements with the Eastern European folk tradition.

The duo features muffled horns and grumbling bass percussion on quiet, pensive tracks, then transitions to bright accordion with frenetic violin on others. It’s a style Trost and Barnes honed over the past decade while traveling Europe and recording with Zach Condon of Beirut.

The pair’s 2013 album, You Have Already Gone to the Other World, is inspired by an early Soviet film, Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors.

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS, JUNE 9, EGYPTIAN THEATRE Brooklyn odd-pop band They Might Be Giants has been performing and releasing albums since the early ’80s. Yet most Americans know the band’s work through other media.

TMBG composed and/or performed songs for multiple TV shows and films, including Malcolm in the Middle and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

Before that, the group ran a popular Dial-a-Song service, where people could dial a phone number and listen to a song the band had recorded onto an answering machine—something it did more than 500 times.

Though you most likely know the band from one of those sources instead of its dozens of releases and decades of live performances, this is the week to give it a shot in its original format: as a live band. The show is for ages 14 and up.

SCREEN/THE BIG SCREEN

FRANCES HA Face-planting through life GEORGE PRENTICE Let’s get something straight about Frances Ha—and there is very little that is straightforward with this zippy misfit—Frances’ last name is not really Ha. The Ha is explained in the final seconds of this hilarious-to-afault charmer. The reveal is well worth the wait. Between the opening titles and finale are 85 minutes of cinema gin fizz that tickles the brain and a bucket-load of ha-ha-ha’s.

NEWS/REC REC ANDR EW C R IS P

Teach a man to fish for free for a day.

OUT AND ABOUT Looking for a triple threat of family recreation? The Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge has your back with a day of activities that are not only fun and educational, but will get your kids outside and away from the boob tube for a while.

The seventh annual BioBlitz 2012 is set for Friday, June 8-Saturday, June 9, at the refuge at Lake Lowell south of Nampa. Participants have 24 hours to find and identify as many different species of plants and animals at the refuge as possible.

Typically, it’s been scientists, naturalists and volunteers who have been carrying out these bio-blitzes in the past, but this time around, the public is invited to help out.

Beyond looking for an unidentified cryptid, the refuge is hosting a festival to go along with the search on Saturday from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. at the Visitor Center. It’s a free event and the public can check out guided boat trips, bird and photography walks, as well as insect-collecting trips and classes.

If you’d rather catch your fish a different way, the event happens to coincide with Free Fishing Day on Saturday, June 8, at lakes and rivers throughout Idaho.

Would-be anglers of all ages can fish across the state without a fishing license, although other state fishing regulations like limits and restrictions still apply.

Deer Flat will have fishing poles available to borrow during the day and host activities and classes for kids.

For more info on the BioBlitz, visit fws. gov/deerflat. For more info on Free Fishing Day, visit fishandgame.idaho.gov.

And while fishing regulations may be loose, authorities are clamping down at the Morley Nelson Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area. The Bureau of Land Management has added several supplemental rules to crack down on prohibited activities in the area, which is worldrenowned as a home for birds of prey.

Rock climbing, bouldering and rappelling in the Snake River Canyon within the Conservation Area boundaries are not allowed since 16 species of raptors nest in the canyon throughout the year.

Those looking for a good place for a paintball game should look elsewhere, too—it’s not allowed within one-quarter mile of the canyon rim. Apparently, some people had been using historic cabins and petroglyphs as targets.

Open fires are also banned outside of BLM-approved fire rings. We don’t need any more wildfires, now, do we?

The cost of violating any of these rules could cost perps up to $1,000 in fines and/ or up to 12 months in jail.

The popular Hillside to the Hollow area is now a protected portion of the Boise Foothills.

KING OF THE HILL The long road to preserve Hillside to the Hollow ANDREW CRISP Boiseans have long visited a popular hillstudded refuge crisscrossed by hiking trails known as Hillside to the Hollow. A destination for dog walkers, cyclists and runners, the parcel stretches from Hillside Junior High School to Harrison Hollow, and from the top affords a panoramic view of the Treasure Valley.

But only in the past few years have users learned the area’s open space could be replaced with new development.

“A lot of people knew it existed, but didn’t know it was private property. People had really taken it for granted for years,” said Michelle Cooper, president of the grassroots Hillside to the Hollow Coalition.

Formed after Eagle developer Kastera Homes announced its hopes to fill the hilltops with homes in 2006, the Hillside to the Hollow Coalition made it a top priority to preserve the area as open space.

That group’s efforts led to the first successful conservation-focused purchase in the area in December 2011—a 59-acre parcel known as Harrison Hollow.

“This was unlike anything we’ve ever done before—which was raise the money to buy the property. When you talk about conserving land, there’s all these different tools, but it doesn’t get any simpler to explain, but hardest to do, to get out your checkbook and buy it,” said Treasure Valley Land Trust Executive Director Tim Breuer.

Donors raised $580,000 to save the parcel, including a $250,000 donation from the J.A. and Kathryn Albertson Foundation, to purchase what’s called a gateway to the larger Hillside to the Hollow area.

“Our opinion was, we have to get this, or we’re not going to get the rest,” said Breuer.

The Land Trust believes its purchase helped pave the way for the city of Boise, which, in 2013, announced plans to purchase an additional 260 acres adjacent to the parcel.

The Boise City Council voted to allocate $1.9 million in funds from the 2001 Foothills serial levy to purchase 260 acres of property, bounded by Cartwright Road to the north, Bogus Basin Road to the east, Hill Road to the south and 36th Street to the west.

Jonathan Kaji, president of Los Angeles real estate brokerage Kaji and Associates, represented Boise Foothills, Inc., formerly DBSI Boise Foothills LLC, a consortium of 51 individuals whose investments made up the 260-acre parcel located in the area.

His father-in-law invested $100,000 of his retirement savings into the deal, Kaji said, but others, many of them senior citizens, invested much more. He believes the total amount raised by DBSI for the project was $6 million.

When he became involved in the transaction, he said it appeared the Boise Foothills, Inc., deal would be a complete loss.

“I think I can say that there’s been a sigh of relief by the investors that they were able to recoup 30 percent of their original investment,” said Kaji.

Eight acres adjacent to existing homes along the southern edge of the city’s property remain under the ownership of Boise Foothills, Inc., with potential for future development.

“A lot of people who currently walk up there, who ride their bike up there, they think it’s all one piece. But it’s all this puzzle up there,” said Julia Grant, open space manager for the City of Boise Parks and Recreation Department.

Private property still surrounds the space preserved by the city and the land trust. Future acquisitions may make the Hillside to the Hollow network a more complete trail system.

“In order to make it a connecting trail system from Bogus Basin to 36th [Street], we’ll have to look at some other properties or easements with adjoining property owners to make it a connecting, sustainable trail system,” said Grant.

Plans to purchase adjacent parcels, if any, remain private due to the sensitive nature of land deals with private owners.

But Parks and Recreation Director Doug Holloway acknowledged the city will evaluate a laundry list of parcels best suited for conservation—efforts that would be paid for using the remaining $1.8 million in the Foothills levy fund.

“With every piece you buy, it shifts your priorities, because you then have a different amount of funding left, and you say, OK, now I’ve got this on my map, what’s the best use of this $1.8 million?” said Grant.

A master plan for the city’s 260 acres will take shape as part of a public process, which will evaluate the best points for access, use and plans to account for wildlife and natural vegetation found on the property.

“The public will absolutely be involved with what we do with that 260 acres,” said Holloway.

Cooper said many of the Hillside to the Hollow users would like to see few changes in their beloved open space.

“It’s worked well for 20 years the way it is.

So I think people would like to keep it pretty much the way it is,” said Cooper.

The Land Trust is developing a management plan for its 59-acre parcel as well.

The future holds a new relationship between Boise Parks and Recreation and the Land Trust of the Treasure Valley—as new neighbors.

“We have offered to assist the city in designing a process that really engages the community in a meaningful way. We’ll see what happens and how they choose to move forward,” said Breuer.

“We’ve had great conversations with them just in the last month, with their board, about how we can work together in the future on this piece and possibly other projects,” said Grant.

Taking the group approach to Idaho’s whitewater.

IDAHO RIVER RENDEZVOUS BUILDS WHITEWATER INDUSTRY Tourism is big business in Idaho, and much of the responsibility for that element of our economy lies with the state’s outfitters and guides. From May 17-19, a group of about 80 river guides assembled in McCall for something that, in the opinion of many in the industry, was long overdue.

The first Idaho River Rendezvous was an opportunity to educate, collaborate and explore the needs and challenges of Idaho’s professional river users. Initially oriented toward guides, outdoor programs, nonprofits, river rangers and advocacy groups, the event is intended to be expanded in the future to include private users and guides from all sectors as a means to increase overall knowledge of Idaho’s wild places.

The event was partially organized by the Redside Foundation—a river guide mental and physical health advocacy group—and included conference talks by some of the most prolific people on the water today. During the three-day event, speakers including Cort Conley and Les Bechtel discussed topics ranging from archaeology and Idaho’s river history to health and wellness and agency-outfitter relations.

The IRR provides guides with resources to be better at what they do through education on archaeology, history and best practices, as well as free medical services, while making guides more cohesive as a professional group. While the format is educational, all of the guides Boise Weekly spoke to felt they would be able to apply what they learned in their work life in some capacity.

“It bridges the gap between a whole bunch of different companies and different outfitters. It brings us all together in a central location and allows us to do what we do best, and that is to fraternize and enjoy a good time.” said attendee Eric Riley.

Many guides have limited financial resources, making the IRR a key tool for them to come together and build their abilities. Redside Foundation Executive Director Brian Chaffin was thrilled at the turnout, and has big hopes for expanding the footprint of future rendezvous.

“It’s a venue for us to come together, to network and to build community around river users and the resource itself,” he said. “This is an opportunity to go through a personal development program. Healthier, more prepared guides means that the end user of an Idaho river trip gets a better product.”

Chaffin expects that this format will only grow with future iterations.

“We’d like to see the private boating community join us. We know as a community of Idaho river users that we’re all in this together,” he said.

BEERGUZZLER/DRINK SUMMER SESSIONABLES

DUPONT AVRIL BIERE DE TABLE, $8.49-$10.99 This Belgian brew comes in a cork-finished, 750 ml. bottle, and weighs in at an eminently drinkable 3.9 percent alcohol. In the glass, it’s a cloudy, pale blonde with a thick egg-white head that shows exceptional retention. You get fruity, floral aromas on the nose, backed by touches of lemon zest, white pepper and spicy yeast.

Black pepper and citrus zest color the fresh and fruity palate.

DESCHUTES RIVER ALE, $1.39-$1.79 A crystal clear, golden pour with a thin head, this beer offers beautiful, soft floral hop and grain aromas, with bright citrus lurking in the background. The flavors are light and unchallenging, but in a good way. It’s impeccably balanced with just the right hit of hops, while sweet whole wheat plays against a core of smooth citrus. This brew finishes dry with a dollop of ripe lemon. Bet you can’t drink just one, and at 4 percent alcohol, feel free to indulge.

10 BARREL SWILL, $3.79-$4.69 This beer pours a hazy straw color with a decent head that fades quickly. At first sniff, it’s a little funky—something like cooked Brussels sprouts—but it’s nothing unpleasant and fades quickly. What’s left is reserved citrus and grain.

The surprising palate is an eye-opening mix, where lime and grapefruit soda meet easy-drinking wheat beer. This 22-ouncer finishes with creamy citrus and a kiss of hops. It’s decidedly different and definitely delicious.

GET YOUR TICKETS AT WWW.WCABOISE.ORG 38 | JUNE 5–11, 2013 | BOISEweekly C L A S S I F I E D S

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The longest natural arch in the world is the Fairy Bridge in Guangxi Province, China. Made of limestone, this 400-foot-wide span crosses over the Buliu River. No one outside of China knew about it until 2009, when an American explorer spied it on Google Earth.

Let’s make the Fairy Bridge your metaphor of the month, Aries.

Judging by the astrological omens, I suspect there’s a good chance you will soon find something like a natural, previously hidden bridge.

In other words, be alert for a link between things you didn’t know were connected.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I hope that in recent weeks you’ve made yourself a master of sticky and intricate details. I trust you’ve been working harder and smarter than you have in a long time. Have you, Taurus? Have you been grunting and sweating a lot, exerting yourself in behalf of good causes? Please tell me you have. And please say you’re willing to continue for a while longer.

The way I see it, your demanding tasks aren’t quite finished. In fact, the full reward for your efforts may not become available unless you keep pushing beyond the point that you consider to be your fair share.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): How free do you want to be, Gemini? A tiny bit free, hemmed in by comfortable complications that require you to rely on white lies? Or would you rather be moderately free in ways that aren’t too demanding— politely, sensibly free? Maybe you feel brave and strong enough to flirt with a breathtaking version of liberation—a pure, naked freedom that brings you close to the edge of wild abandon and asks you to exercise more responsibility than you’re used to. I’m not telling you which kind you should opt for, but I am suggesting that it’s best if you do make a conscious choice.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In August 1961, the Communist government of East Germany built the Berlin Wall to prevent the oppressed citizens of East Berlin from escaping to freedom in West Berlin. The barrier was eventually policed by armed guards.

Traffic between the two Berlins became virtually impossible for the next 28 years. Then a miracle occurred: East German authorities relinquished their stranglehold.

They tentatively allowed East Berliners to travel to West Berlin.

Soon the “mauerspechte,” or “wall woodpeckers,” showed up.

Armed with hammers and chisels, these people began chipping away at the wall. Two years later, most of it had been demolished.

I hereby assign you to be a wall woodpecker in your own sphere, Cancer. The time is right to demolish a barricade. It may take a while, but you’re ready to start.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The following slogan captures the spirit I bring to composing my horoscopes: “I live in the future so that you don’t have to.” But right now, this slogan doesn’t apply to you. From what I can tell, you are currently visiting the future as much as I do. Here’s what I wonder, though: Are you time-traveling simply to run away from the dilemmas that face you in the present?

Or are you taking advantage of your jaunts to acquire revelations that will help you solve those dilemmas once you return?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You know that there are different kinds of stress, right? Some varieties wear you out and demoralize you, while other kinds of stress excite and motivate you. Some lead you away from your long-term goals, and others propel you closer. The coming weeks would be an excellent time for you to fine-tune your ability to distinguish between them. I suspect that the more you cultivate and seek out the good kind, the less susceptible you’ll be to the bad kind.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Studies show that people spend 87 percent of their time inside buildings and 6 percent in enclosed vehicles. In other words, they are roaming around outside enjoying the wind and sky and weather for only 7 percent of their lives. I think you’re going to have to do better than that in the coming week, Libra. To ensure your mental hygiene stays robust, you should try to expose yourself to the natural elements at least 9 percent of the time. If you manage to hike that rate up to 10 percent or higher, you stand a good chance of achieving a spiritual epiphany that will fuel you for months.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Resurrection is the Scorpionic specialty. Better than any other sign of the zodiac, you can summon the power to be reborn. It is your birthright to reanimate dreams and feelings and experiences that have expired, and make them live again in new forms. Your sacred totem is the mythical phoenix, which burns itself in a fire of its own creation and then regenerates itself from the ashes. Now here’s the big news headline, Scorpio: I have rarely seen you in possession of more skill to perform these rites than you have right now.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Octavio Paz spoke to a lover in his poem “Counterparts”: “In my body you search the mountain for the sun buried in its forest.

In your body I search for the boat adrift in the middle of the night.” What have you searched for in the bodies of your lovers, Sagittarius? What mysteries and riddles have you explored while

immersed in their depths? How has making love helped you to better understand the meaning of life? I invite you to ruminate on these uncanny joys. Remember the breakthroughs that have come your way thanks to sex. Exult in the spiritual education you have received through your dealings with lust and sensuality. And then go out and stir up some fresh epiphanies.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Do you know what minced oaths are? They’re rarely used anymore. If you went back 100 years, though, you’d hear them regularly. They were sanitized swear words, basically; peculiar exclamations that would allow people the emotional release of profanities without causing a ruckus among those who were listening. “Bejabbers!” was one.

So were “thunderation!” and “dadblast!” and “consarn!” Here’s one of my favorite minced oaths: “By St. Boogar and the saints at the backside door of purgatory!” I bring this up, Capricorn, because I suspect it’ll be a minced oath kind of week for you. What I mean is: You’ll have every right to get riled up, and you should express your feelings, but not in ways that create problems for you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There’s only one correct way to spell the English word “beauty.”

But that wasn’t true centuries ago. Before the advent of the printing press, orthographic anarchy prevailed for many words.

Some of beauty’s variations included bewte, beaute, beaultye, beuaute, bealte, buute, bewtee, and beaultye. I bring this up, Aquarius, because I think it would be fun and healthy for you to take a respite from having to slavishly obey standardized rules. I’m talking about not just those that apply to spelling, but others, too. See what you can get away with.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In the last chapter of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novel The Brothers Karamazov, the lead character says the following: “There is nothing nobler, stronger, healthier and more helpful in life than a good remembrance, particularly a remembrance from childhood. A beautiful, holy memory preserved from childhood can be the single most important thing in our development.” I bring this up, Pisces, so as to get you in the right frame of mind for this week’s featured activity: remembrance. One of the greatest gifts you can give yourself is to reminisce about the old days and the old ways. To do so will enhance your physical health and purify your emotional hygiene.
