EDITOR’S NOTE HOT OFF THE PRESS While it has been cooling down outside, things have been heating up at Boise Weekly. We’ve made some schedule changes, like moving our insanely popular Best of Boise™ issue up to coincide with our becoming-insanely popular Big LeBoise street festival. BOB nominations open next week, so check out the March 7 BW for info and dates. We are currently wrapping up We Are Boise, which hits stands March 7. We Are Boise is the newest addition to our super slate of special publications and the one in which the people and places that make this such a great place to live tell their stories in their own words. We’ll soon be working on a Summer Guide— with plans to include another iteration of Brew Times— as well as our beautiful and useful (beauseful?) city guide, Annual Manual. And now, here’s a look at what’s cookin’ this week ... On Page 6, News Editor/Resident Film Fanatic George Prentice gives the backstory on why a YA novel was pulled from the shelves of Meridian School District middle-school libraries; plus he shines a light on Illumibrate, a big one-evening festival at JUMP on Friday, March 2. On Page 19, Prentice delivers the lowdown on highlights of the Sun Valley Film Festival 2018, which kicks off Wednesday, March 21; and on Page 17, he chats with A-lister Kate Bosworth, who is both taking a new movie to and receiving an award from SVFF 2018. Staff Writer Lex Nelson gives us a guide through Mapping the Present, a new exhibit at Boise Art Museum, on Page 16; and on Page 17, Nelson covers some new ground with info about how the City of Boise will sell excess compost wholesale. Also on Page 17, Senior Staff Writer Harrison Berry deconstructs the Devil, one of the delicious menu offerings at new BoDo sandwich shop Tasso. Find all this and more inside this issue of Boise Weekly. Like Nelly said, it’s getting hot in here. —Amy Atkins

MAIL NOW, IF YOU’LL ALL TURN TO PAGE 666 It is clear from recent events that we are living in the End Times. The Book of Revelation says that a rider on a pale horse will open the sixth seal and the Sun will become dark and the Moon will become as blood. Both events have happened. The Book of Revelation predicts two beasts will arise. The second beast, which is referred to as a false prophet, will cause people to worship the first beast. The second beast is clearly Vladimir Putin who used false information to rig the 2016 election for Trump. This means Donald Trump is the first beast, a man who is worshipped intensely by his followers despite his constant lying. The Book of Revelation furthermore tells us that all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone. This means that Trump and his entire entourage plus those Trump voters who still believe his falsehoods will end up in a very hot place for all eternity. The only hope for the Trump supporters is to fall on their knees, pray for forgiveness, renounce Trump,

take a vow of poverty, and turn to Jesus Christ. —Gary L. Bennett, Boise

HAIL, YES In response to the Feb. 21 Editor’s Note, BW Editor Amy Atkins received the following email, with a grammar correction. The email writer is right. Don’t you mean “fluctuating weather” instead of “fluctuating climate”? Weather may fluctuate on a daily basis. Climate does not as it is long term. Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get. —Thom England

facts that the immigrants are a threat to the U.S. The following are reasons that the TPS should not be terminated: “For more than a century, innumerable studies have confirmed two simple yet powerful truths about the relationship between immigration and crime: immigrants are less likely to commit serious crimes or be behind bars than the native-born, and high rates of immigration are associated with lower rates of violent crime and property crime. This holds true for both legal immigrants and the unauthorized, regardless of their country of origin or level of education.” (American Immigration Council, “The Criminalization of Immigration in the United States,” Walter Ewing, Ph.D.; Daniel E. Martínez, Ph.D.; and Ruben G. Rumbaut, Ph.D.; July 13, 2015) “While the financial contributions of TPS holders are noteworthy, what is even more compelling is the fact that Salvadoran TPS holders are parents to an estimated 192,000 U.S.citizen children.” (VOX.com, Jan. 9) “A continued inflow of immigrants is needed to support the growing ranks of U.S. retirees, and the entrepreneurial dynamism of immigrants is needed to fight the decrease in new-business formation.” (Bloomberg, March 24, 2017, Noah Smith) —Noah Brudenell, Boise

Meridian middle school students won’t ﬁnd Looking for Alaska (center) in their libraries.

MERIDIAN SCHOOL DISTRICT PULLS LOOKING FOR ALASKA FROM MIDDLE SCHOOL LIBRARIES The parent of a Galileo STEM Academy student complained to administrators of the West Ada School District about the bestselling young adult novel Looking for Alaska (Speak, 2005) being available in the school library. When ofﬁcials received the complaint, they launched an administrative review instead of following district policy, which requires “reconsideration of supplemental learning and library resources,” including input from other parents. An assistant superintendent, along with library, curriculum and language arts coordinators, made the decision to pull Looking for Alaska from all Meridian middle school library shelves. “What’s hard is that the age range in the YA genre is really wide. It’s 12 to 20 years old,” said West Ada District Chief Communication Ofﬁcer Eric Exline. “What was the concern? In this case, there’s description of pornography, there’s smoking, and the book ends with a kind of question about a possible suicide. Even the author says it’s really intended for high school students.” Rediscovered co-owner Laura DeLaney said author John Green, who won the Printz Award for Looking for Alaska and also penned the bestseller The Fault in Our Stars (Dutton, 2012), has “an enormous impact” on youth. “His books do an incredibly good job at thoughtfully looking at what challenges face a young person,” said DeLaney. “The thing I treasure about John Green’s writing is he’s great at connecting with kids, and can put words to situations that are almost impossible to describe.” DeLaney wasn’t pleased when she heard Looking for Alaska had been pulled from Meridian middle school library shelves. “Bookstores and libraries create true discovery,” she said. “When we take choice away, we don’t honor that individual’s own experience. I’m an enormous believer in the power of choice and that moment when people discover things that they didn’t expect.” While Looking for Alaska is no longer available in Meridian middle school libraries, it’s still a big seller at Rediscovered. “Do want to hear something ironic? I just sold [a] copy to a woman who’s a librarian in Meridian,” said DeLaney. —George Prentice 6 c FEBRUARY 28 – MARCH 6, 2018 c BOISEweekly

ART: WOMEN OF A CERTAIN AGE

LES BOIS FILM FESTIVAL

BOISE’S NEXT DRAG SUPERSTAR SEMIFINAL

The best works of art do two things: captivate the attention of their audience, and leave them thinking. The newest production in the Age of Women series from Alley Repertory Theater seems ready to do both. Set on Nov. 8, 2016, the day the results of the presidential election came in, Women of a Certain Age follows a household of middle-aged and elderly women “considering the future of their country, town, and home … at a time when the game seems rigged and the rules are forever changing.” Written by award-winning playwright Richard Nelson, Women is the third in a trilogy that follows the family through the election year. Catch a preview of Nelson’s timely work Thursday, March 1, evening showings March 2, 3, 8, 9 and 10, or a Sunday matinee March 11 to join Alley Rep in celebrating strong women. 8 p.m., $10 suggested donation. Visual Arts Collective, 3638 Osage Street, Garden City, 208-424-8297, alleyrep.org.

The short films showcased at the one-day Les Bois Film festival zero in on environmental concerns and spectacular tales of man vs. nature from a “migration ballad” music video documenting the challenges of Idaho bull trout to a film following the USA Rafting Team as they charge through the Grand Canyon in an attempt to break a speed record. One thing all of the films have in common, though, is that they’re filled with stunning shots of beautiful vistas. The festival offers two screenings (1 p.m. and 7 p.m.), and while they overlap a bit—”Wild Ice-Backcountry Skating Alaska,” a skater’s hunt for “wild ice,” and “Science in America,” featuring Neil deGrasse Tyson, will be shown at both—the majority of the films differ, so outdoor buffs and big screen enthusiasts can spend a full day watching. Tickets are available at lesboisfilmfestival.org. 1 p.m and 7 p.m., $5-$18. The Egyptian Theatre, 700 W. Main St., 208-345-0454, egyptiantheatre.net.

After weeks of runway challenges—like “80s Grammy red carpet” and “white trash realness”—Boise’s Next Drag Superstar is close to being crowned. The contest started out with 10 competitive queens showing off their comedy, dance, lip-sync and runway skills, and now it’s down to the ﬁnal three: Annie Depressant, Hazel and Denimm Cain (pictured above left to right). You can bet they’re brewing up something spectacular, because when they step off the Balcony Club stage on Sunday, March 4, one of them will be going home and only two will be left to compete for the crown and the title of Balcony Babe. Like it says on the Balcony website, “The only thing ﬁercer than this competition are the performers who are trying to come out on top.” Show up early for this no-cover event—seats go fast! 7 p.m., FREE. The Balcony Club, 150 N. Eighth St., 208-3361313, thebalconyclub.com.

KEYS N KRATES, KNITTING FACTORY, MARCH 1 Though the Toronto-based band Keys N Krates turned a decade old this year, and has numerous festival appearances and a Recording Industry Association of America Gold Award-winning single (“Dum De Dum,” 2013) under its belt, its debut album dropped just over three weeks ago. Titled Cura (Dim Mak Records), the album sticks to the band’s lauded electronic and hip-hop roots, but also puts out feelers into other genres like 70s-era disco and R&B, largely thanks to partnerships with musicians Tory Lanez, Ambre Perkins, Ouici and 070 Shake. Despite the fact that the album leans heavily on electronic and synthesized rhythms, Keys N Krates is known for putting on live shows that are more akin to a traditional rock band, re-creating its tracks using “drums, keys, turntables and live sampling” rather than pre-recorded beats.

ARTS & CULTURE IDEOLOGICAL EXPLORATION

Technology plays a starring role in Cat Crowley’s new play, House of Tomorrow.

HOUSE OF TOMORROW FINDS A HOME AT BCT According to Pew Research, around 77 million Americans owned smartphones by November 2016, and people born in the new millennium have been dubbed “iGen” because of the nearly ubiquitous Apple iPhone. None of the characters in Cat Crowley’s BCT River Prize-winning play, House of Tomorrow, actually own iPhones, but there’s plenty of acerbic skepticism of smart technologies in the play, which opened Feb. 24 at Boise Contemporary Theater. Set in a not-too-distant future, House of Tomorrow opens with a squabble over home economics: Jane Jupiter (Ravin Patterson) has irked her husband, John Jupiter (Nicholas Paul Garcia), with her lavish spending on appliances. Caught in the middle is their distracted daughter, Jenny (Arianne Sermonia), who wants nothing more than to have fun with her friends. Their placid lives are upended when Jane’s old friend, Patty Studebaker (Sara Bruner) arrives, intent on corrupting the family’s all-controlling smart device, HANC (voiced by Matthew Cameron Clark), with sentience. It’s easy to live in a cycle of technologically enabled idleness and consumption, but there’s a high price to pay for oblivion. It’s a bad idea, for example, to give feelings to a computer that controls everything from bank accounts to door locks, and is programmed to help humans spend their money. The aesthetic of the play is straight out of the space age, and the Jupiter residence is decked out in chrome-plated gadgets and divided into modules. The younger characters like Jenny and Mr. Salesman (Dakotah Brown) are fond of gee-whiz exclamations and alliteration. As forward-looking as the aesthetic of the play is, its older characters, who remember a world before mass automation and rampant consumerism, look backward. Patty is a drifter and revolutionary who pines for open spaces; and John, a former car mechanic, reminisces about coming home covered in grease and longs for a round of golf on a non-virtual golf course. The world outside, with its freedoms and responsibilities, beckons, but the characters are poorly prepared for it. They’re bubble-wrapped in virtual reality headgear, time-saving devices and safety equipment, slowly suffocating in the House of Tomorrow. —Harrison Berry 16 c FEBRUARY 28 – MARCH 6, 2018 c BOISEweekly

Mapping the Present at Boise Art Museum guides viewers into new territory LE X NEL SON

Since the advent of portable GPS technology in cars and smartphones, paper maps have gone the way of 8-track tapes, record players and bell bottoms—stuffed into drawers or the backs of closets and often never seen again. Now, in the small Boise Art Museum exhibit Mapping the Present, artists are digging out those maps, returning them to places of honor and giving them new voice. “It’s interesting, looking back at this body of work, how little we use maps nowadays,” said artist Julie Cockburn, speaking of a map-based series of 3D collages she completed in the early Art by Leo Berk, Simon Brett, Tracey Bush (above), Julie Cockburn, Jane Dixon, Jane Hammond, Chris Kenny, William 2000s. “Just last night I threw away a road atlas Kentridge, David Kroll, Jena Scott, Georgia Russell and Jason Wallis-Johnson is featured in Mapping the Present. from my car which I hadn’t used for years since the invention of the TomTom [a GPS device].

A BRIEF CURE

At Tasso, the new sandwich shop in BoDo, sandos and sides are odes to smoothness HARRISON BERRY On one of the walls of Tasso, the new sandwich shop in BoDo, hangs drawing of a pig divided into its constituent cuts of pork. The slightly unsettling map of flavors and textures is one of many arresting images decorating the interior of the shop, but it is the one that most closely cleaves to the meat that gave the restaurant its name. Tasso is a cut of briefly cured pork shoulder rubbed in spices, garlic and cayenne pepper, and hot-smoked until done. It’s the foundation of the Country Devil sandwich ($11), which also contains pork “roasted with succulence,” melted Gruyere cheese, whole-grain mustard, gravy and pickled onion between slices of ciabatta. While the ingredients ought to add up to fireworks, the sandwich on the whole is an ode to smoothness.

With winter weather making a comeback, I’m happy to see a new crop of barleywines hitting the Treasure Valley, because those big, bold brews with 10-12 percent alcohol levels are just the thing to ward off the cold. Anchor introduced barleywine to the United States back in 1976, and the newer wave of craft brewers are embracing the style. Barleywine typically rewards cellaring but can be delicious on release. Here are three of the best.

torn crust, sops up grease laden with spice. More an angel than a demon, this sandwich doesn’t so much play up contrasts between bright flavors as find harmonies among them. A similar principle is at work in the Moroccan chicken salad ($4), served in a Chinese restaurant to-go box and topped off with slices of bread. Under a fan of ciabatta, the salad is a chunky mix of tomatoes, olives, chopped almonds, spices, yogurt and, of course, chicken. Like the sandwich, though, it finds unity among many flavors. It’s feistier than the main course,

Home gardeners and landscape enthusiasts may remember Nov. 18, 2017, as the day Boiseans went compost crazy. When the City of Boise Public Works Department announced that its first batch of compost from its new curbside collection program was ready for pickup, participating residents rushed to fill their bags, buckets and truck beds, carting home roughly 400 cubic yards in four days. City officials are confident the mad scramble won’t be repeated when the second batch of compost drops this spring; so confident, in fact, that the Boise City Council passed a resolution Feb. 6 that set a price for the excess compost to be sold wholesale to businesses. “We know that we will have potentially up to 10,000 cubic yards of compost available over this year, above and beyond what we can give back to customers and use on city facilities,” said Catherine Chertudi, solid waste programs manager for PWD. “Customers come first, city facilities or government facilities next and then compost sales for the excess.” The city reached out to local businesses in December, and four companies—Cloverdale Nursery, FarWest Landscape, Diamond Street Recycling and Waupaca Northwoods LLC—submitted letters of interest. But the businesses will have to wait in line behind customers to get their cut of the compost.

with olives, yogurt and spices throwing the punches, and chicken absorbing the blows. Above all, the crunchy almonds—a textural nod—make this dish exciting. Each sandwich comes with a self-serve side of popcorn tossed in a rotating blend of spices sexier than mere butter and salt, and a bright green pickle slice. They’re proof the restaurant is rethinking the commonplace, using imagination to wring the unexpected from the familiar. 401 S. Eighth St., 208-336-2555, tassoboise.com

Citizens participating in the program will have first pick, with one cubic yard being what Chertudi called “the one-time limit going forward.” That’s roughly equivalent to filling up the bed of a compact pickup truck. “Internally right now, the team is working on the customer giveback procedures and protocols ... We’re trying to strike that right balance of making sure that customers get easy and convenient access, but we also don’t want abuses of the system,” said PWD Communications Manager Colin Hickman. Chertudi added, “We’re going to have folks fill out forms to say who they are and how much they took, but we’re also going to do regular site visits to visit with customers.” The money brought in from wholesalers, who will be able to buy the compost at $8 per cubic yard, will go back into the program, offsetting costs and potentially helping to keep the participation price for customers down over time. The landscape companies in line to purchase the compost plan to put it to various uses, from incorporating it into potting soil for nursery plants to bagging it for commercial sale. According to Hickman, the second batch of compost should be ready for pickup within the next few months. Participants looking to beat the rush are advised to keep an eye on the CurbIt website—and their buckets at the ready. —Lex Nelson BOISE WEEKLY.COM

On #MeToo, passion projects and the premiere of her new film at SVFF

I would be remiss if I didn’t first ask about some of the behind-the-scenes drama in the film industry, particularly considering the #MeToo movement. Have you heard any tangible shift in conversations or seen any change in work ethics? I’ve certainly noticed a heightened awareness and accountability in behavior. I think what’s most important out of the movement is a deeper look into ourselves and how something might make another person feel. This all comes at a time when we’re able to hide behind our devices and say things without repercussion. There are consequences to making someone feel a certain way or doing something without thought. As an actress, and more importantly as a producer, what stories do you want to tell now? I want to make movies that matter, stories that speak to people and hopefully bring some light to a subject matter that might not be as known to a majority. That was certainly the hope and drive behind NONA. Those of us who’ve spent time reporting on human trafficking know NONA is slang for “no name,” and refers to the countless women and children who have no name, no identity. What made you choose that topic for your film? My husband [director/screenwriter Michael Polish] and I heard a story on NPR that spoke to the number of known sex houses in the Los Angeles area. It was shocking because some were not so far from our house. Quite frankly, one of the reasons that human trafficking is one of BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Kate Bosworth has spent much of her life on film sets. From her debut in 1998 to her breakout performance in Blue Crush in 2002, she has portrayed everyone from Lois Lane (Superman Returns) to Sandra Dee (Beyond the Sea). A fashion icon, Bosworth was the “face” of Calvin Klein jeans and the luxury brand Coach, and she has her own line of jewelry. However, it’s her work as a producer that earned her the Pioneer Award, which she will accept at the 2018 Sun Valley Film Festival, where she is hosting the U.S. premiere of her new film, NONA.

the most profitable things on the black market is that people can be seen as disposable. They’re cheap. Yet, when I speak to people who are informed, there’s not a whole lot they can speak to about human trafficking, even though it’s one of the world’s biggest epidemics. For Michael and me, it was important to make a movie that is first and foremost about humanity. Is it your sense that audiences are hungry for this kind of a film? People crave to be connected; they crave a feeling of validity. We’ve hit a moment of saturation where we can pick up a device, swipe right and see that 64 people were killed in a suicide bomb, then swipe again and find a restaurant you’d like to eat at. Are we desensitized? It’s something I think of quite a bit. But I do think people are looking for something where they can make a difference. My husband was in San Pedro Sula [Honduras], one of the most poverty-stricken cities on the planet, and he saw these long lines. He asked, “Are those bread lines, or lines for employment?” They were lines of people who had come to identify the dead. That alone may lead a young girl to think she needs to get out of her own circumstance, but it could lead her to a very dangerous predicament. So, we thought by starting with a small personal story of a young girl and her dreams, that would lead us to the story of NONA. Can I assume you relish the opportunity to come to Sun Valley and spend time with people who want to see good films and budding filmmakers who want to make good movies? I’m sure you hear this a lot, but it’s a miracle to get a movie made, particularly something that deals with a difficult subject matter and is a real labor of love. This is why we make the movies we do. You’re currently on the set of your next project. What can you tell us about it? I just came from the set. It’s called The Devil Has a Name. You’ll probably see it in 2019. It’s a spectacular experience. I’m co-starring with Pablo Schreiber, Alfred Molina, David Strathairn and Martin Sheen. It’s a bit of a master class.

The Petition alleges substantially that Petitioners are residents of Idaho, that they are married, that their son DREGER DANIEL SCHLICHTING, a minor, wishes to change his middle name from “Daniel” to “Jrue” as the name “Daniel” is a reference to Dreger’s biological father whose parental rights have been terminated. Dreger does not wish to have any association with his biological father, including his name, as it is a reminder of a father who legally abandoned him. Further that the requested name change is not for any illegal, fraudulent, or immoral purpose, and neither Petitioners nor the minor child are requesting a change of name with the intent or purpose of avoiding

registration as a convicted sexual offender pursuant to chapter 83, title 18, Idaho Code. Such Petition will be heard on the 13th day of March, 2018 at 1:30 pm, or at such other time as the court may appoint; any objections may be filed by any person who can, in such objections, show to the court a good reason against such a change of name.

$GYLFH IRU WKRVH RQ WKH YHUJH CURIOUS

DEAR MINERVA, I am reading your column in the Boise Weekly dated Feb. 21-27, 2018. The subject is about a spouse who does not have intimate relations with his or her spouse because the other one does not want or need to anymore. So that is my question: Since you did not identify which sex the couple were (male/female, male/male, female/female), I was wondering if you could tell me? I guess it doesn’t matter, but I was just curious. Thank you, and I read your column all the time. Sincerely, Curious

DEAR CURIOUS, Thanks for this question. This is a great time to discuss a little bit about how my column works. I answer the questions as I get them. They are only edited if there are issues with length or grammar. You get the questions as I receive them. I don’t know the sexes of the two individuals in this particular question; I also cannot make any assumptions. In order to fairly and responsibly respond, I cannot “ﬁll in the blanks” or tell myself a story about what is going on. It wouldn’t be fair to do so. While I won’t shirk from sharing my opinions on even the most outlandish, risque questions, I must maintain the integrity of the column by keeping the questions accurate. That is one of the tricky parts of an advice column: I’m limited by the part of the story someone chooses to share. Thank you for your support and readership! SUBMIT questions to Minerva’s Breakdown at bit.ly/MinervasBreakdown or mail them to Boise Weekly, 523 Broad St., Boise, ID 83702. All submissions remain anonymous.

GIRL SCOUTS COOKIE FINDER APP It has finally started snowing, which means it’s time for comfort food. Luckily, the late February snowfall happens to coincide with local Girl Scout cookie season, and when it comes to finding hordes of cookie-hawking, badge-earning Girl Scouts—there’s an app for that. There are actually several apps, but the officially sanctioned one from the Girl Scouts themselves is called Cookie Finder, and is free to download for Iphone and Android users in search of sweets. Girl Scouts Cookie Finder, The app is decked out in Girl FREE at play.google.com/ store/apps and apple.com/ Scout forest green, and features ios/app-store. not only a “Find Cookies” feature that pinpoints troops with available Thin Mints, Samoas and Tagalongs by date or proximity, but also a “Meet the Cookies” section with nutrition information for each batch and a “Cookie Videos” tab where you can watch your cookie dollars at work educating girls nationwide. The app isn’t perfect—users have reported glitches like random shutdowns, and its accuracy depends on individual troops to update their locations—but any chance at dessert nirvana is worth taking.

ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): On Sept. 1, 1666, a London baker named Thomas Farriner didn’t take proper precautions to douse the fire in his oven before he went to sleep. Consequences were serious. The conflagration that ignited in his little shop burned down large parts of the city. Three hundred twenty years later, a group of bakers gathered at the original site to offer a ritual atonement. “It’s never too late to apologize,” said one official, acknowledging the tardiness of the gesture. In that spirit, Aries, I invite you to finally dissolve a clump of guilt you’ve been carrying, or express gratitude you should have delivered long ago, or resolve a messy ending that still bothers you, or transform your relationship with an old wound ... or all of the above. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The Committee to Fanatically Promote Taurus’s Success is pleased to see that you’re not waiting politely for your next turn. You have come to the brilliant realization that what used to be your fair share is no longer sufficient. You intuitively sense that you have a cosmic mandate to skip a few steps—to ask for more and better and faster results. As a reward for this outbreak of shrewd and well-deserved self-love, and in recognition of the blessings that are currently showering down on your astrological House of Noble Greed, you are hereby granted three weeks’ worth of extra service, free bonuses, special treatment and abundant slack. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): No one can be somewhat pregnant. You either are or you’re not. But from a metaphorical perspective, your current state is a close approximation to that impossible condition. Are you or are you not going to commit yourself to birthing a new creation? Decide soon, please. Opt for one or the other resolution; don’t remain in the gray area. And there’s more to consider. You are indulging in excessive in-betweenness in other areas of your life, as well. You’re almost brave and sort of free and semi-faithful. My advice about these halfway states is the same: Either go all the way or else stop pretending you might. CANCER (June 21-July 22): The Appalachian Trail is a 2,200mile path that runs through the eastern United States. Hikers can wind their way through forests and wilderness areas from Mount Katahdin in Maine to Springer Mountain in Georgia. Along the way they may encounter black bears, bobcats, porcupines and wild boars. These natural wonders may seem to be at a remote distance from civilization, but they are in fact conveniently accessible from America’s biggest metropolis. For $8.75, you can take a train from Grand Central

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

BY ROB BREZSNY

Station in New York City to an entry point of the Appalachian Trail. This scenario is an apt metaphor for you right now, Cancerian. With relative ease, you can escape from your routines and habits. I hope you take advantage! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Is 2018 turning out to be as I expected it would be for you? Have you become more accepting of yourself and further at peace with your mysterious destiny? Are you benefiting from greater stability and security? Do you feel more at home in the world and better nurtured by your close allies? If for some reason these developments are not yet in bloom, withdraw from every lesser concern and turn your focus to them. Make sure you make full use of the gifts that life is conspiring to provide for you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “You can’t find intimacy—you can’t find home—when you’re always hiding behind masks,” says Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Junot Diaz. “Intimacy requires a certain level of vulnerability. It requires a certain level of you exposing your fragmented, contradictory self to someone else. You running the risk of having your core self rejected and hurt and misunderstood.” I can’t imagine any better advice to offer you as you navigate your way through the next seven weeks, Virgo. You will have a wildly fertile opportunity to find and create more intimacy, but in order to take full advantage, you’ll have to be brave, candid and unshielded. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the coming weeks, you could reach several odd personal bests. For instance, your ability to distinguish between flowery bullshit and inventive truth-telling will be at a peak. Your “imperfections” will be more interesting and forgivable than usual, and might even work to your advantage, as well. I suspect you’ll also have an adorable inclination to accomplish the half-right thing when it’s impossible to do the perfectly right thing. Finally, all the astrological omens suggest that you will have a tricky power to capitalize on lucky lapses. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): French philosopher Blaise Pascal said, “If you do not love too much, you do not love enough.” American author Henry David Thoreau declared, “There is no remedy for love but to love more.” I would hesitate to offer these two formulations in the horoscope of any other sign but yours, Scorpio. I would even hesitate to offer them to you at any other time besides right now, but I feel you currently have the strength of character and fertile willpower necessary to make righteous use of such stringently medicinal magic. So please proceed

with my agenda for you, which is to become the Smartest, Feistiest, Most Resourceful Lover Who Has Ever Lived. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The state of Kansas has over 6,000 ghost towns—places where people once lived but then abandoned. Daniel C. Fitzgerald has written six books documenting these places. He’s an expert on researching what remains of the past and drawing conclusions based on the old evidence. In accordance with current astrological omens, I suggest you consider doing comparable research into your own lost and half-forgotten history. You can generate vigorous psychic energy by communing with origins and memories. Remembering who you used to be will clarify your future. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It’s not quite a revolution that’s in the works, but it is a sprightly evolution. Accelerating developments may test your ability to adjust gracefully. Quickly-shifting storylines will ask you to be resilient and flexible. But the unruly flow won’t throw you into a stressful tizzy as long as you treat it as an interesting challenge instead of an inconvenient imposition. My advice is not to stiffen your mood or narrow your range of expression, but rather to be like an actor in an improvisation class. Fluidity is your word of power. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s the Productive Paradox Phase of your cycle. You can generate good luck and unexpected help by romancing the contradictions. For example: 1. You’ll enhance your freedom by risking deeper commitment. 2. You’ll gain greater control over wild influences by loosening your grip and providing more spaciousness. 3. If you are willing to appear naive, empty or foolish, you’ll set the stage for getting smarter. 4. A blessing you didn’t realize you needed will come your way after you relinquish a burdensome “asset.” 5. Greater power will flow your way if you expand your capacity for receptivity.

Prizes will be randomly drawn from all entries.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): As you make appointments in the coming months, you could re-use calendars from 2007 and 2001. During those years, all the dates fell on the same days of the week as they do in 2018. On the other hand, Pisces, please don’t try to learn the same lessons you learned in 2007 and 2001. Don’t get snagged in identical traps or sucked into similar riddles or obsessed with comparable illusions. On the other other hand, it might help for you to recall the detours you had to take back then, since you may thereby figure out how to avoid having to repeat boring old experiences you don’t need to repeat.
