EDITOR’S NOTE A STORY TO TELL This past spring, a young woman walked into Boise Weekly HQ with a story to tell. She said she’d been to nearly every media outlet in town but no one was interested in pursuing what she described as a gang rape that occurred at North Idaho College in 2013, but which school officials refused to investigate. When asked to back up her claims, she delivered a thick file of papers containing emails and reports—covering months of back-andforth communications with college administrators, internal conversations among staff members at the community college and surveillance records from residence assistants at the dorm where she lived—all received by her through public records requests. After several conversations with BW News Editor George Prentice, the young woman—who was 17 at the time of the alleged assault—described her ordeal and unsuccessful attempts to get the incident addressed by the appropriate officials. However, when we were prepared to go forward with her story, she decided she’d rather not participate. Then, a few months later, we heard from her again. She wanted to work with us to investigate her situation, but not until after the federal lawsuit she intended to pursue against NIC—alleging the college violated federal law by not following up on her claims—was filed. That happened on Sept. 22. On Page 7, Prentice draws on the copious records compiled by the alleged victim, as well as interviews with her and her former roommate, the young woman’s Boise-based attorney and education officials. NIC administrators would not comment on the specifics of the case as it is a pending legal action. Stories like this one are perilous for everyone involved. For the alleged victim, they carry the risk of being revictimized. For school officials they are potentially damaging to careers and reputations—likewise for the journalists who present them. That’s also why stories like this one are important. The statistics on college rape and sexual assault are shocking. While 23 percent of female undergrads will experience rape or sexual assault, only 20 percent of alleged victims aged 18-24 will report their attack to authorities. We think that’s reason enough to listen to the ones who do come forward. —Zach Hagadone

OPINION DIFFERENT SPACES
Art, censorship and race in small-town Idaho REBECCA L AMPMAN Tamia, a fellow student at my daughter Emily’s high school, painted a striking portrait of a young black woman wearing a yellow crown and a cornflower-colored dress with the words #BlackLivesMatter written underneath. Tamia is black. Tamia’s painting at Mountain Home High School lasted one week. Following online racial harassment and bullying by community members, the school announced all paintings would be removed. They cited the lack of approval for the paintings from the superintendent, as well as safety liabilities. Emily came home angry and said, “Well, I found out there are a bunch of racists in this town.” I was speechless. But I couldn’t help thinking how alike my daughter and Tamia are. Emily participated in the Mountain Home Community Canvas this year. An alley downtown was cleaned up and murals were painted by local artists. Emily is passionate about horses, so it’s no surprise that she painted one. The owners of the building in the alley preferred something portraying a “Western theme,” so her depiction of a horse and their wall made an uncontroversial match. Emily is white. Tamia participated in a fundraiser for seniors where she rented a parking space at the school and painted it. Once graduated, Tamia knew her painting would be removed to make space for next year’s senior class. Different places and different spaces, but still both public art projects. Tamia and Emily each followed the guidelines for getting their art approved by submitting “mock ups.” Both worked many hours to finish their paintings and were overjoyed to express themselves. Moreover, they each have family who have celebrated their artistic accomplishments. In the days following the announcement that Tamia’s painting would be removed, many students recognized the injustice and defended her art. They protested the removal for two days. A home across the street from the school, where a Confederate flag regularly flies, became the center of the counterprotest movement with people running up and down the street waving Confederate flags, shouting “All Lives Matter” and “White Power.” In one instance, counterprotesters offered the students fried chicken and watermelon, saying, “Not that fried chicken and watermelon is racist or anything.” In the quiet of this past Sunday morning [Sept. 25], with nobody to witness but God and the approving eyes across the street, school officials painted all the parking spaces black, including Tamia’s. I wonder who painted the spaces and how they felt. Tamia was not informed. According to the American Civil Liberties BOISE WEEKLY.COM
Union, “censorship, the suppression of words, images, or ideas that are ‘offensive,’ happens whenever some people succeed in imposing their personal, political or moral values on others.” No matter what people think of the Black Lives Matter movement, it saddens me that an artist in our community had to bear the burden of their opinions to the point that her work was removed. After this happened, I walked around and saw Mountain Home with a new understanding of the advantages and privileges I have as a white person. I noticed that much of the art and imagery in town is stuff the white culture can view quite comfortably. There’s a pair of white hands cradling an apple with the words, “Whether given or received, education is always a gift.” There are white guys getting tattoos; a painting of white children frolicking near water. One mural depicts the Mountain Home of yesteryear with a white family in a covered wagon, a white rancher with a rifle slung over his shoulder and a white family riding in an open-topped classic car. In my effort to understand what had happened—and the way that it felt like history, current events and racial tensions just plopped right down in our town—I thought to listen to something on the subject of race on TED talks. I selected a talk titled, “The Little Problem I Had Renting a House.” I don’t know why, but I just happened to click on it. Presenter James A. White, Sr. was reflecting on the 2014 killing of unarmed black man Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., and the unrest that followed. White talked of the trouble he faced as a young airman finding a place for his family to live because he was black. In 1960s Mountain Home, Idaho. I stopped my car and listened. For a week our town had another voice—an alternative perspective. We were given the challenge to listen through Tamia’s art and we failed. There are rules and I know there are distinctions to be made between Tamia’s and my daughter’s art. But this has become about something bigger. It is about fairness. It is about censorship. It is about racial harassment. It is about Tamia’s right to have her art exist as it was originally conceived. Tamia’s mother told me, “We are a family that teach, preach and live love.” I hope our community can rise to that aspiration, reject the censorship of Tamia’s art and begin to reflect the culture and concerns, dreams and accomplishments of all citizens of Mountain Home. I am optimistic. Someone in town etched in concrete one of my favorite quotes from local author Richard McKenna. He said, “Never stop playing with ideas.” Pair that with love and I see no reason why we cannot succeed. BOISEweekly | OCTOBER 5–11, 2016 | 5

Monica Lewinsky has launched a speaking tour to address online bullying and harrassment.
MONICA LEWINSKY TO VISIT BOISE Two decades after her affair with then-U.S. President Bill Clinton rocked the nation and precipitated an impeachment, Monica Lewinsky still makes headlines. One of the most well known figures in modern American political history, her name has even come up more than once during the current presidential election. Lewinsky is set to visit Boise ahead of Election Day, but don’t even try to get a ticket to hear her speak. The exact date and location of her talk are being kept secret by the sponsors of her appearance, the Idaho chapter of the international Young Presidents’ Organization. “YPO is a member-led network of business presidents and CEOs,” said Rob Swikert, YPO Idaho education chair. “We currently have 29 members. We’re pretty exclusive and our events are confidential.” That said, YPO members often travel to other states to attend exclusive appearances from high-profile speakers. Swikert estimated that “a little less than 100 YPO members” would be in Boise to see Lewinsky speak. “It will be mid-October. But we won’t say where, at least to non-members,” he added. Lewinsky has spoken to private groups about her new mission to combat cyberbullying, saying “I want to put my suffering to good use and give purpose to my past.” “Not a day goes by that I am not reminded of that mistake and regret it completely,” Lewinsky said at a conference in London on Sept. 29. “I learned the devastating consequences.” Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has hinted that he may be invoking Lewinsky’s name more often in the days leading up to the election, suggesting the infidelities of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s husband reflect poorly on the candidate herself. “Hillary Clinton was married to the single greatest abuser of women in the history of politics,” Trump told The New York Times on Sept. 20. “I think it’s a serious problem for them, and it’s something that I’m considering talking about more in the near future.” Lewinsky has remained apolitical in the decades that followed her scandal as a White House intern. Whether she’ll address or be asked about the current political climate will only be known to the few dozen YPO members when they gather in Boise to see her speak later this month. —George Prentice 6 | OCTOBER 5–11, 2016 | BOISEweekly
Some people liken the weekend tradition of cruising cars through downtown Boise to American Graffiti, the George Lucas film that romanticized coming of age in the car-centric ’50s. While Lucas’ version of “the cruise” was rated PG, the real-life version in Boise is an R-rated experience, with downtown business owners and employees reporting encounters with drivers that include racist and homophobic taunts as well as threats of violence. “The situation is untenable,” wrote one business owner to members of the Boise City Council in August. “As someone who owns a business, I want to be careful about I say publicly, in fear of retaliation,” another owner told Boise Weekly. “But yes, there are times that I’m a bit nervous when I go in and out of my store at night.” Ceci Thunes, who has worked downtown for 16 years—first as general manager of Asiago’s Ristorante and now as a supervisor at The Modern Hotel and Bar—says she has lost count of the times her employers have had to call the police due to customer complaints about the problem. She said the shouting and screeching tires even prompted The Modern to hire private security and install new sound-proofing in hotel rooms. More recently, Thunes said many of the drivers cruising Main and Idaho between 12th and 15th streets have been parking their cars near The Modern, just west of the downtown core, and making their presence felt on street corners. On the evening of July 16, Thunes said she approached some of the drivers who had parked at the corner of 14th and Main streets. She spoke to the group after hearing someone shout “faggot” at a passing vehicle. “Hey, did you just call that guy a ‘faggot?’” she asked, and was surrounded by about a dozen angry people. “Two of them insisted they were armed. I told them ‘Words matter,’ but they indicated I should leave the country. I didn’t want them to see they were upsetting me, but it was a pretty hostile presence—a mob mentality,” she said. That prompted Thunes’ boss, Modern owner Elizabeth Tullis to pen a letter to the Boise City Council in August, writing she and a number of other businesses “have approached this from many angles” over the years, yet the problem has grown nastier. The issue is nothing new. According to a 1990 white paper published by the Boise Police
Department under the title “Downtown Cruising in Major U.S. Cities and One City’s Response to the Problem,” Boise law enforcement wrote that it was addressing a situation that had grown “intolerable.” BPD said it opened a police substation on Idaho Street, increased street lighting along Main and Idaho, issued more juvenile offense citations, sentenced more offenders to community service and partnered with the Treasure Valley YMCA to create more youth-oriented alternatives to cruising. But teen dances or juvenile citations won’t curb Boise’s 21st century cruising problem. “I’ve been operating a downtown business for decades. And, once upon a time, it was just kids cruising around. No big deal. But a lot of today’s drivers are older. It’s a rougher crowd,” said one merchant who asked to keep his identity confidential out of fear of retaliation. “We’ve had vandalism. Most of the trees in front of our store have had to be replaced. My employees have found hypodermic needles out front. And, one day, there was a dead jack rabbit hanging from a tree.” That merchant and others, including representatives of Idaho Power, Hurless Brothers, the Owyhee Plaza, The Royal Plaza, Idaho Mountain Touring and The Modern, have met regularly to talk about the problem and repeatedly turned to Boise City Hall for answers. “On any given weekend, you can easily spot open containers of alcohol, littering, engine-revving, speeding, racing, tailgating and yelling, that in many cases, is considered harassment,” Tullis wrote in her letter. Her missive triggered a Boise City Hall
meeting on Oct. 3, where merchants sat down with officials to talk about their grievances. “I want to listen really closely to what everyone has to say about this,” Boise Council President Elaine Clegg told Boise Weekly. “Some of what we’re hearing is not appropriate behavior that I’m willing to put up with. That said, downtown Boise is evolving. We haven’t had a lot of people living downtown for a really long time. And now, with more people downtown 24 hours a day—well that, quite frankly, changes everything.” Lynn Hightower, executive director of the Downtown Boise Association, said downtown has a lot of energy, attracts a diverse group of people and can be noisy. “But it’s important to figure out what’s the best thing any or all of us can do to make sure the neighborhood remains a friendly and welcoming place.” Said Boise Police Chief Bill Bones: “People certainly have a right to drive around in circles all night long, but if they’re driving reckless or drag racing, that’s something we can take action on. But for police, it’s a balance. Yes, people have a right to congregate. But people are also pretty good when we ask them to move along. That’s where we can take the role of being a peacemaker. But in case of criminal activity or reckless behavior, then that’s where we become the enforcer.” Tullis is anxious to “have a broader discussion of how to manage this community problem”—and sooner, rather than later. “It’s not child’s play,” she told the Boise City Council. “Waiting for it to escalate is not a proactive approach.” BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Woman alleges North Idaho College ‘revictimized’ her after gang rape GEORGE PRENTICE
T
he party was off campus, at a home rented by a group of North Idaho College students. The weather was getting cold in mid-November, but a young woman, then a 17-year-old freshman, thought the house was a short walk from the community college west of downtown Coeur d’Alene. The young woman, now a Boise resident, admits to having too much to drink at the Nov. 16, 2013 party—so drunk she blacked out. One thing she does remember, though, is comingto in a bathroom where she said she was gang raped by three male students. Three years later, she’s still struggling to come to terms with what happened. Making matters worse, she said, NIC officials did nothing did help her and instead “revictimized” her by scrutinizing her every move for months—all the while never investigating her assault. “Try to imagine being on-edge every minute of every day. That was my life. There were times where I thought I would kill myself,” she said. “I never even thought of a second year at college because I thought I would kill myself as a freshman.” Through her attorney Rebecca Rainey, of Boise law office
BOISE WEEKLY.COM
Fisher Rainey Hudson, the young woman filed a lawsuit Sept. 22 against NIC alleging the college violated federal Title IX requirements when officials “ignored the situation entirely”; “refused to investigate or take corrective action”; and conducted “willful, knowing and intentional discrimination,” according to the suit. “Even if that school catches wind of a Title IX flag—even confidentially—they’re required to follow up. And there is no evidence of any investigation into this incident,” Rainey said. “Title IX is designed to protect a student’s educational opportunities. If a student is suffering because of sexual violence, you better believe that it will impact that student’s educational opportunities in a million different ways.”” The young woman said she tried to share her story “with nearly every media outlet in Idaho, but nobody would listen.” When she first contacted Boise Weekly in June, she said “this would be my final effort.” Per her request, BW waited for the young woman’s 8 complaint to be filed in federal court before publishing her story. To protect her identity, we refer to her as “R.”

NOV. 16, 2013
R remembers the optimism of her first year at NIC in the fall of 2013. She had hoped to be a lawyer someday and thought the publicly funded community college—which offers classes to more than 6,000 students in the picturesque north Idaho resort town—would be a good first step on her path to law school. “I was hoping to do so much more with my life,” she said. That all changed on the night of Saturday, Nov. 16, 2013. She said a few hours after she was assaulted, she texted a friend. “My body hurts,” she wrote. The recipient of the text—which went on to include some graphic descriptions of the particulars of the assault—was not only a friend of R’s, but an NIC resident assistant in her dorm. The text prompted the RA to arrange a face-to-face conversation with R and, soon after, the situation was reported to NIC Resident Life Director Paula Czirr. The day after the incident, R walked to downtown Coeur d’Alene where she received treatment and underwent several tests at an urgent care clinic. By Nov. 18, 2013, two days after the alleged rape, records confirm that the assault had been reported to Vice President of Student Services Graydon Stanley and NIC Counseling Specialist Deborah Ferguson. Instead of launching an investigation into the alleged assault, emails sent to and from NIC officials indicate they were puzzled over how to proceed with the case. “I’m not sure what we can do with this information,” Czirr wrote to Stanley and Ferguson on Nov. 18, 2013. “Is this something we need to contact the mother about? Do we just let the therapist help her work through it? I would appreciate some guidance on how to proceed. Her behaviors have escalated, to say the least.” Instead of addressing the report that she had been raped, the focus on R’s own behaviors intensified. Her behaviors were, by her own admission, “spiraling.” Heavy drinking, drug abuse, emotional breakdowns at parties—R fell apart after her assault. “I think the first time I took another drink was on Dec. 7, [2013],” R said. “I had gone to a party, had too much and people told me that I was crying a lot.” A note in NIC’s security logs for the night of Dec. 7, 2013 indicated R’s roommate made a point of contacting an RA, saying R “was crying about what happened on [Nov.] 16th.” Another entry in NIC security logs for the night of Dec. 14, 2013 included notes, again from an RA, that R “was talking about suicide,” adding, “What happened in November on the 16th is really getting to her still.” Regardless of the mounting concerns over R’s mental health, the 2013 fall semester ended and 8 | OCTOBER 5–11, 2016 | BOISEweekly
“Instead of being supported, she was scrutinized. She was being victimized again.”
students headed home for the holidays with no indication that NIC had launched a Title IX investigation into her reported assault. When R returned to campus in January 2014 she was summoned to a formal meeting regarding her behavior. “My assault was never mentioned in that meeting,” she said, referring to Jan. 27, 2014, when R sat in front of Czirr, Stanley, Ferguson and NIC Director of Student Development Alex Harris, who also serves as the college’s Title IX coordinator. “They all decided that it would be best to come up with a contract that I would not drink while living at the resident hall,” she said. That’s when NIC officials put a document in front of R, reading that she was not to consume drugs or alcohol and if she had any suicidal ideation, that she would contact a staff person immediately. “That contract made me feel like my drinking was their only concern,” said R. “There was no mention of the assault ever being related to my drinking problem.” R’s roommate—who requested not to be named for privacy reasons—said she became
increasingly concerned for R’s physical and mental wellbeing. “I think NIC handled it very poorly. Instead of being supported, she was scrutinized. She was being victimized again,” the roommate said. “And when the resident assistants ever talked about her, they never wanted to talk about what happened on Nov. 16. … “To be honest, sometimes I was afraid of what I might find when I returned to our room,” she said. “Yes, I was afraid of her committing suicide.”
‘RETRAUMATIZATION’ NIC was intent on monitoring R’s comings and goings, making detailed notes in security logs to the exact time of day or night that R would walk in or out of her dormitory. “Saw [R] leaving the building at 10 p.m.” wrote one RA on March 17, 2014. “[R] had her bag checked around 9:30,” wrote another RA on April 21, 2014. Dozens of NIC security notes, obtained by R following a records request, detailed her movements for months in the spring semester of 2014, each logging the exact time and even the doors
that she would walk in or out of the building. In late April, R fired off an angry email to Czirr and her staff of RAs, venting her frustration. “Here’s what really makes me mad. You’d rather have some college rapists in the dorm than an ‘alcoholic’ that has been victimized by them,” she wrote on April 21, 2014. “Did anyone ever question why I was getting high every day or why I was coming back drunk and crying? No, you didn’t.” R wrote that she was particularly angered that it was she, rather than her attackers, who suffered consequences for destructive behavior. “Now look at me. I’m going to AA and considered an alcoholic. Nobody stood up for me,” she wrote. Three years later, the trauma is still fresh. “I’m not sure how best to describe my life as it is now. It’s…” she said, pausing in thought. “It’s surreal. You see, I’m sitting here with you now… or I may be sitting at work… or I may be sitting with friends… but my head is somewhere else. I feel out of place. I just don’t have a lot to offer when people have conversations, especially about fun things.” BOISE WEEKLY.COM
October is
Domestic Violence Reliving the details of her attack in court will also present emotional risks. “My role as a legal counsel to someone who goes through something like this is to help them manage that retraumatization,” said Rainey. “I can’t prevent it, because it will definitely happen. And it will happen no matter how someone chooses to respond. If they remain totally quiet about it, they’ll remain retraumatized. If they speak out, they’re retraumatized. It’s a horrible thing for anyone to go through, no matter how they choose to deal with it. Yes, there’s a very high certainty of retraumatization.”
U.S. COURT CASE NO. 1:16-CV-430 In July 2014, R decided to directly contact the college’s Title IX coordinator, Alex Harris. “Do I qualify for a Title IX complaint?” she wrote to Harris, who, on July 28, 2014, responded: “Gender/Sex based incidents fall under Title IX regulations. As Title IX officer for NIC, it is my job to investigate and remedy these situations when notified of them. So when you say ‘do you qualify for a complaint?’ I don’t really understand that.” “I’m appalled by that comment,” said Rebecca Rainey, R’s attorney. “And I look forward to speaking with him regarding that statement. Here’s a student: confused, looking for answers. And that’s the response she receives regarding Title IX? He says he ‘doesn’t really understand’?” Harris forwarded a copy of his response to R to his boss, NIC VP of Student Services Graydon Stanley, who wrote back: “Good response. Could put you in line for a little merit increase!” Looking back at the email she received from Harris in July 2014, R said, “At the time, I didn’t know that a Title IX complaint would be detrimental to the college’s reputation. I was simply asking a question, and it seems that they had kind of manipulated me into not learning more about it or even considering my complaint.” NIC officials declined to comment to Boise Weekly on R’s case, other than to refer to the college’s policies and procedures regarding Title IX—the very rules NIC is accused of ignoring. “All college employees must, in the exercise of reasonable care, promptly report information they have about actual or suspected discrimination, harassment, or misconduct to the Title IX coordinator, a Title IX investigator, or other appropriate employee of the college such as the director of Human Resources or the vice president of Student Services,” NIC’s policy reads. “Employees who fail to report this information in a prompt manner may be subject to disciplinary action.” BOISE WEEKLY.COM
According to a spokeswoman at the U.S. Department of Education in Washington, D.C., there have not been “any previous or current investigations” at NIC related to Title IX. Meanwhile, R dropped out of NIC. Today, she says it’s too difficult to walk onto any college campus. When people ask, “Where do you go to school?” or “What’s your major?” she said it stirs up too many emotions. “The truth is, it’s taken me this long to find my voice in this,” she said. In her lawsuit—case No. 1:16-cv-430—R is seeking a jury trial in federal court. “Why a jury trial? This is an important conversation that our community—our nation—has to have. That’s why jury trials exist in our nation,” said Rainey. “This is a conversation that we need to have about a culture that exists, not just on college campuses, but throughout the nation. And when you look at the rape culture that has existed for years, it has been accepted because people have found the conversation to be too difficult to have. They pretend it doesn’t happen and that’s unacceptable. Yes, it’s a very difficult conversation. And this is a particularly difficult lawsuit to pursue for someone brave enough to pursue it.” NIC officials will be required to have that “difficult conversation” if R’s case ends up in a courtroom but, for now, the official statement is: “The College cannot comment on pending litigation.” Regardless of whether the case goes to trial, it is possible NIC’s Title IX practices could be reviewed. Though investigators at the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights have not been informed of the allegations against NIC, agency spokeswoman Doris Nolt said, “The Office of Civil Rights also has the ability to open a compliance review in cases where a complaint has not been filed. There’s a growing awareness across the country that sexual violence is a problem and filing a complaint with OCR is a way to seek justice for survivors.” Nolt went on to share some staggering statistics on current reports of sexual violence on American college campuses. “The department currently has 277 sexual violence cases under investigation at 214 postsecondary institutions,” she said. The data indicate a sharp increase in nationwide postsecondary education sexual violence complaints, jumping from 11 in 2010 to 165 in 2015. More than 160 were already filed by the end of September 2016. “I don’t know if what happened to me happened to anyone else at NIC,” R said. “I was just one student; but the way the administration handled my case has altered my life dramatically. The college shouldn’t look at their students as problems.

The people listed are not only Fulton’s friends, family and collaborators, but financial contributors as well. As owner of AudioLab and a session musician, Fulton has spent untold hours in the studio over the past decade, but always working on someone else’s music. When Fulton set out to record his first release in 11 years, he raised funds via Indiegogo. The singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist then gathered a team of local artists including Scot Alexander, Thomas Paul and Christine Thomas. The result is Eponym, a double album divided into 13 tunes with a folky-Americana sensibility and 13 with a more uptempo rock- and reggae-influenced sound, which Fulton will celebrate at two CD release parties. That’s a Ful-ton of entertainment. —BW Staff 6 p.m., FREE, The Record Exchange, 1105 W. Idaho St., 208-344-8010, therecordexchange.com; 7p.m., $10-$15, The Sapphire Room, 2900 E.

BIRTH OF A PROBLEM Nate Parker’s past haunts his road to Oscar GEORGE PRENTICE
“A NEW LANDMARK IN AMERICAN CINEMA” “BEAUTIFUL AND POWERFUL” “A RALLYING CRY OF A FILM”
STARTS FRIDAY, OCT 7TH 26 | OCTOBER 5–11, 2016 | BOISEweekly
The Birth of a Nation was supposed to solve Hollywood’s big problem with failing to honor films of diversity. Instead, the antebellum era slave revolt epic has created its own dilemma, asking us to heap praise on its creator while he clumsily deflects attention from his troubled past. The film packs a wallop. Two separate screenings of Birth of a Nation at the recent Toronto International Film Festival featured audiences that alternated between sobbing and thunderous applause. Despite its gravitas, the film contains many historical inaccuracies—something actor/writer/ director Nate Parker fessed up to in Toronto. “That’s why the film says it ‘based on a true story,’” he said. “No film is 100 percent accurate.” While Parker has that artistic license, he doesn’t have the ability—or even the right—to leave out key aspects of his own history, which includes a rape charge when he was a student at Pennsylvania State University. “I was falsely accused,” Parker told a television audience of more than 14 million people during an Oct. 2 appearance on 60 Minutes. Parker was anxious to tamp down the 1999 rape charge and gin up interest in the Oct. 10 opening of his film. “An apology? No,” he added. Police in State College, Penn., were convinced it wasn’t just “casual sex” that Parker insisted he and his best friend were having with a fellow student in August 1999. That’s why Parker and Jean Celestin—who is credited as co-writer of Birth of a Nation—were both accused of rape and sexual assault. Neither defendant testified when their trial convened in October 2001, but State College
Police Detective Chris Weaver did take the stand, telling the judge that Parker said in an interview, “She’s not the kind of girl that I would date.” The identity of the victim was initially confidential, but a separate federal civil suit launched by the Women’s Law Project alleged Parker and Celestin hired a private detective to place enlarged photographs of the woman across the Penn State campus. The university settled that suit for $17,500 and would not comment further. Parker was acquitted of the rape charge but Celestin was found guilty of sexual assault and sent to prison. Four years later, Celestin’s conviction was overturned when a superior court judge ruled his trial attorney provided an ineffective defense. The victim said she was anxious to testify at Celestin’s second trial in 2004 but prosecutors said tracking down witnesses would be impossible and dropped the case. The alleged attack had already done irreparable harm to the woman. Court records indicated she fell into severe depression and anxiety and tried to commit suicide in November 1999—the first of many instances of self-harm. She dropped out of college, tried unsuccessfully to hold a number of jobs and was placed in a Pennsylvania halfway house by the Women’s Law Project. On April 15, 2012, she swallowed 199 sleeping pills and died a short time later. She left no note. Parker, meanwhile, embarked on a career that today sees him as an odds-on favorite for Academy Award nominations for Birth of a Nation. He insisted he didn’t know about the woman’s death until two months ago when, on Aug. 16, he wrote
on his Facebook page, “I am filled with profound sorrow. I can’t tell you how hard it is to hear this news.” The American Film Institute soon thereafter canceled a high-profile screening of Parker’s film and several op-eds targeting the filmmaker have since appeared in Hollywood trade publications—the most damning coming from the sister of the woman Parker was accused of raping. “As her sister, the thing that pains me most of all is that in retelling the story of the Nat Turner slave revolt, they invented a rape scene. The rape of Turner’s wife is used as a reason to justify Turner’s rebellion,” Sharon Loeffler wrote Sept. 29 in Variety. “I find it creepy and perverse that Parker and Celestin would put a fictional rape at the center of their film, and that Parker would portray himself as a hero avenging that rape.” History reveals Nat Turner never acknowledged having a wife and his bloody rebellion was, according to his own writings published in 1831’s “The Confessions of Nat Turner,” based on spiritual visions. Parker is a fine filmmaker, perhaps one of Hollywood’s best. That’s a fact. But, contrary to what his film would have us believe, it’s not a fact that Nat Turner took up arms against his oppressors in order to avenge a rape. It’s also not a fact that most real-life rape victims ever see justice served. According to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, 344 rapes out of more than 1,000 will be reported to the police, 63 will lead to an arrest, 13 will be referred to a prosecutor, seven will lead to a felony conviction and only six of those perpetrators will serve prison time.

WHEN BAD IS GOOD: THIS WEEK IN ART, COMEDY, THEATER AND FILM If the upcoming presidential election has you thinking about moving to Canada, you’re not alone. However, instead of fleeing, stay and fight the good fight. Get out the vote! Do your part! Or at least go see Boise Classic Movies’ screening of Idiocracy at The Egyptian Theatre on Wednesday, Oct. 5. Written and directed by Mike Judge—creator of Beavis and Butthead, Office Space, King of the Hill, Silicon Valley—this 2006 sci-fi/comedy/ satire set 500 years from now, lampoons the dumbassery of both America’s elected officials and the people who voted for them. Tickets are $9 and available at boiseclassicmovies.com. When local artist Sue Latta was in grad school, a faculty member said something about her work that still resonates: “They’re beautiful, and I don’t mean that in a bad way.” Bad Beauty—Latta’s newest exhibit, which opens Friday, Oct. 7 at Visual Arts Collective— is not an attempt to explain or define what is beautiful. It is, instead, an exploration of it. “It made me want to make beautiful things defiantly,” Latta said. “This disdain for beauty [we artists] have in art makes us culturally irrelevant. People want beauty.” For this exhibit, Latta uncovered the striking in the unnoticeable, the exquisite in the unpleasant, and created delicate-looking works out of seemingly non malleable materials. The eye of the beholder notwithstanding, Bad Beauty is beautiful. In a good way. Doors open at 7 p.m. and admission is free. Visit suelatta. com or facebook.com/vacuber for more info. Speaking of bad boys, comedian Ralphie May has been on the road pretty much since the 2015 release of his well-titled Netflix special Unruly. His tour has included several one-night stops in smaller markets—including an upcoming one in Boise at Liquid Lounge on Sunday, Oct. 9—which keeps him in front of the audiences who love his unbridled, unafraid and, as he says, unruly comedy. Tickets are $30 and are available at liquidlounge.com. Lastly, a bit of straight-up good news. The postponed July 4 Built to Spill show at The Olympic is back on for Friday, Nov. 11. The details remain the same: Local bands The Hand and Toy Zoo open, the show starts at 8 p.m., tickets are $20 and proceeds benefit Boise Hive.

Death Rattle Writers Festival returns for its third year BEN SCHULTZ In the introduction to his book, Prepared for the Worst (Hill and Wang, 1988), BritishAmerican journalist and critic Christopher Hitchens recalled an idea of Nadine Gordimer’s that had impressed him. The Nobel Prize-winning novelist, he recalled, had once said or written that “she tried to write posthumously.” “To write as if editors, publishers, colleagues, peers, friends, relatives, factions, reviewers, and consumers need not be consulted… What a just attainment that would be, and what a pristine observance of the much-corrupted pact between writer and reader,” Hitchens wrote. Diana Forgione and Dig Reeder, co-founders of the Death Rattle Writers Festival, feel the same way. A similar sentiment underlies the festival’s name. As Forgione told Boise Weekly in 2014, “The death rattle is a medical term for when you die and you regurgitate that moment of death and you grow. … Your throat would literally rattle up this reverberation. The written word is a reverberation of our soul.” Despite this intimation of mortality, Death Rattle won’t breathe its last gasp anytime soon. The festival will return for its third and biggest year on Thursday, Oct. 6, kicking off a three-day book fair and events for poetry, flash fiction, non-fiction, one-act plays, graphic novels, hip-hop and singer-songwriters at various locations in downtown Nampa. According to Reeder, inspiration for the festival came when he was living in Pocatello and attended the Rocky Mountain Writers Festival in Evergreen, Colo. When he and Forgione moved to Nampa, they both had the idea to hold a similar event there. “Basically, we’re walking downtown and it’s the middle of summer and we’re just like, ‘All of our friends write. Why is there nowhere for us to produce this work or publish it or do anything with it?’” Forgione said. “We just kind of said, ‘Let’s just start a writers festival.’ Because that’s the normal thing to do.”
Death Rattle Writers Festival keynote speaker Quenton Baker was a 2014 Pushcart Prize nominee.
Sarcasm aside, the couple saw a cultural gap underrepresented views and voices. The 2016 festival’s keynote speaker is Seattle-based poet that deserved filling. and educator Quenton Baker, whose work “Nampa and Caldwell both get forgotten focuses on the complexities surrounding race when it comes to arts of any kind,” Reeder said. “Great artists and writers of all kinds live in America. Also, the schedule for Friday, Oct. 7 includes a showcase for LGBTQ poets. out there and are totally underrepresented by “I would say the majority of our spotlights their cities. They don’t have any funding for this year are people of color or in the queer that kind of stuff. Ada County has a lot more funding for artistic programs and grants.

Still, Forgione acknowl“It’s a nationwide converedged that Downtown Nampa DEATH RATTLER WRITERS FESTIVAL sation,” added Death Rattle Association Coordinator board member Alex Yann.

WINESIPPER SYRAH FINDS A HOME IN IDAHO In the past decade there has been a miniexplosion of new wineries in Idaho, in part spurred by the creation of the Snake River American Viticultural Area in 2007. It takes time and effort to determine what grapes work best where and, while the first modern Gem State vineyards were planted in the 1970s, it’s still a work in progress. That said, Syrah is one grape that has found a happy and successful home here. Here are the top picks from the panel’s Idaho Syrah tasting: 2014 CINDER SYRAH, $28 Classic Northwest Syrah with its intense berry aromas backed by vanilla and soft oak. The ripe blackberry and raspberry fruit flavors are equally intense. This is a chewy, juicy Syrah with a balanced, tangy finish where smooth tannins come into play. Another proof that Cinder’s Melanie Krause is crafting world class wines. 2014 COLTER’S CREEK SYRAH, $17 The winery is located near Moscow in northern Idaho, but Colter’s Creek sources the grapes for its Syrah from the Snake River AVA. It opens with smoky chocolate, anise, coffee and berry aromas. The creamy mocha and dark fruit flavors are colored by a touch of black pepper and a bit of that intriguing gaminess typical of the best Cote Rotie Syrahs. Outstanding effort.

2013 KOENIG SYRAH, THREE VINEYARD CUVEE, $22 Greg Koenig’s 2010 vintage of this wine was the first from Idaho to garner a 90+ point rating from Wine Spectator. The 2013 is a worthy successor with its fresh baked berry pie aromas. Big and bold but balanced, the complex palate includes pepper, olive, spice, savory meat, mineral, mocha and lots of dark berry fruit. —David Kirkpatrick BOISE WEEKLY.COM

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): At a recent party, a guy I hardly know questioned my authenticity. “You seem to have had an easy life,” he jabbed. “I bet you haven’t suffered enough to be a truly passionate person.” I didn’t choose to engage him, but mused to myself, “Not enough suffering? What about the time I got shot? My divorce? My five-year-long illness? The manager of my rock band getting killed in a helicopter crash?” After that initial reaction, my thoughts turned to the adventures that have stoked my passion without causing pain, like the birth of my daughter, getting remarried to the woman I divorced, and performing my music for excited audiences. I bring this up, Aries, because I suspect that you, too, will soon have experiences that refine and deepen your passion through pleasure rather than hardship. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It’s the Frank and Focused Feedback Phase, Taurus—prime time to solicit insight about how you’re doing. Here are four suggestions to get you started. 1. Ask a person who loves and respects you to speak the compassionate truth about what’s most important for you to learn. 2. Consult a trustworthy advisor who can help motivate you to do the crucial thing you’ve been postponing. 3. Have an imaginary conversation with the person you were a year ago. Encourage the Old You to be honest about how
the New You could summon more excellence in pursuing your essential goals. 4. Say this prayer to your favorite tree or animal or meadow: “Show me what I need to do in order to feel more joy.” GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Many of my readers regard me as being exceptionally creative. Over the years, they have sent countless emails praising me for my original approach to problem-solving and art-making. But I suspect that I wasn’t born with a greater talent for creativity than anyone else. I’ve simply placed a high value on developing it, and have worked harder to access it than most people. With that in mind, I invite you to tap more deeply into your own mother lode of innovative, imaginative energy. The cosmic trends favor it. Your hormones are nudging you in that direction. What projects could use a jolt of primal brilliance? What areas of your life need a boost of ingenuity? CANCER (June 21-July 22): Love wants more of you. Love longs for you to give everything you have and receive everything you need. Love is conspiring to bring you beautiful truths and poignant teases, sweet dispensations and confounding mysteries, exacting blessings and riddles that will take your entire life to solve. But here are some crucial questions: Are you truly ready for such intense engage-

ment? Are you willing to do what’s necessary to live at a higher and deeper level? Would you know how to work with such treasure and wild responsibility? The coming weeks will be prime time to explore the answers to these questions. I’m not sure what your answers will be. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Each of us contains a multiplicity of selves. You may often feel like there’s just one of you rumbling around inside your psyche, but it’s closer to the truth to say that you’re a community of various characters whose agendas sometimes overlap and sometimes conflict. For example, the needy part of you that craves love isn’t always on the same wavelength as the ambitious part of you that seeks power. That’s why it’s a good idea to periodically organize summit meetings where all of your selves can gather and negotiate. Now is one of those times: a favorable moment to foster harmony among your inner voices and to mobilize them to work together in service of common goals. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Pike’s Peak is a 14,115-foot mountain in Colorado. It’s not a simple task to trek to the top. Unless you’re well-trained, you might experience altitude sickness. Wicked thunderstorms are a regular occurrence during the summer. Snow falls year-round.
But back in 1929, an adventurer named Bill Williams decided the task of hiking to the summit wasn’t tough enough. He sought a more demanding challenge. Wearing kneepads, he spent 21 days crawling along as he used his nose to push a peanut all the way up. I advise you to avoid making him your role model in the coming weeks, Virgo. Just climb the mountain. Don’t try to push a peanut up there with your nose, too. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “It isn’t normal to know what we want,” said psychologist Abraham Maslow. “It is a rare and difficult psychological achievement.” He wasn’t referring to the question of what you want for dinner or the new shoes you plan to buy. He was talking about big, long-term yearnings: what you hope to be when you grow up, the qualities you look for in your best allies, the feelings you’d love to feel in abundance every day of your life. Now here’s the good news, Libra: The next 10 months should bring you the best chance ever to figure out exactly what you want the most. And it all starts now. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Practitioners of the Ayurvedic medical tradition tout the healing power of regular self-massage. Creativity expert Julia Cameron recommends that you periodically go out on dates with yourself. Taoist author
Mantak Chia advises you to visualize sending smiles and good wishes to your kidneys, lungs, liver, heart and other organs. He says that these acts of kindness bolster your vigor. The coming weeks will be an especially favorable time to attend to measures like these, Scorpio. I hope you will also be imaginative as you give yourself extra gifts and compliments and praise. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The coming weeks will be one of the best times ever for wrestling with God or tussling with fate or grappling with karma. Why do I say that? You’re likely to emerge triumphant! That’s right, you lucky, plucky contender. More than I’ve seen in a long time, you have the potential to draw on the crafty power and unruly wisdom and resilient compassion you would need to be an unambiguous winner. A winner of what? You tell me. What dilemma would you most like to resolve? What test would you most like to ace? At what game would you most like to be victorious? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Are you grunting and sweating as you struggle to preserve and maintain the gains of the past? Or are you smooth and cagey as you maneuver your way towards the rewards of the future? I’m rooting for you to put the emphasis on the second option. Paradoxically, that will be the best way to accomplish
the first option. It will also ensure that your motivations are primarily rooted in love and enthusiasm rather than worry and stress. And that will enable you to succeed at the second option. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Do you believe you’re just a product of social conditioning and your genetic make-up? Or are you willing to entertain a different hypothesis: that you are a primal force of nature on an unpredictable journey? That you are capable of rising above your apparent limitations and expressing aspects of yourself that might have been unimaginable when you were younger? I believe the coming weeks will be a favorable time to play around with this vision. Your knack for transcendence is peaking. So are your powers to escape the past and exceed limited expectations. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In one of your nightly dreams, Robin Hood may team up with Peter Pan to steal unused treasure from a greedy monster—and then turn the booty over to you. Or maybe you’ll meet a talking hedgehog and singing fox who will cast a spell to heal and revive one of your wounded fantasies. It’s also conceivable that you will recover a magic seed that had been lost or forgotten, and attract the help of a fairy godmother or godfather to help you ripen it.

PAGE BREAK $GYLFH IRU WKRVH RQ WKH YHUJH “FACEBOOK TROLLS” DEAR MINERVA, How do you handle trolls and haters on Facebook? I have friends who only comment or interact on posts if they are in disagreement or seem to have a point to prove. It’s like they are waiting to pounce any time someone has a differing view. Then they hijack the thread, make everyone uncomfortable and relentlessly react to everything like someone just slapped their mother. What can be done? Sincerely, —Tired of Trolls
DEAR TIRED, I think in this age of social media, we have all encountered the kinds of contrarians of which you write. The unique difference with Facebook, which you specified as the platform you are concerned with, is that we usually know the people with whom we are interacting. People forget that it is SOCIAL media and end up acting in ways that are decidedly antisocial. I hold freedom of speech to be sacred. I usually don’t censor people who commandeer threads unless it gets out of hand or is distracting to the essence of what is being discussed. I say ignore it. If it offends your sensibilities or those of your followers, delete things that are not in line. After all, it is your page. Make good use of restriction settings if you like, however, I am not a fan of the unfollow feature. Take each scenario case by case and never be afraid to “agree to disagree.” If it is unbearable, hit “unfriend.” 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.

MINERVA’S BREAKDOWN
‘AGE YOUR OWN’ WOODINVILLE WHISKEY KIT Why should homebrewers have all the fun? Now there’s something for whiskey tipplers to play around with at home—the Age Your Own whiskey distilling kit from Woodinville Whiskey Co. Aside from its coterie of highly regarded whiskeys, the Woodinville, Wash.-based distiller also offers a full set of equipment to age your own bourbon or rye just the way you like it. $149.95, The kit comes with two 750-milliliter bottles of woodinvillewhisun-aged 110-proof Woodinville White Dog whiskeyco.com key, a handsome 2-liter white oak aging barrel, two classy tasting glasses and a funnel. Pour the whiskey into the barrel and let the magic happen. According to Woodinville, the aging process takes between three and six months—but it’s up to you when you want to sample your own vintage. The kit also comes with two warnings: 1.) By law, Woodinville can’t ship alcohol out-of-state, which means you’ll have to visit the distillery (a worthwhile 500-mile drive from Boise) to get your hands on the White Dog. 2.) The kit comes with everything but patience. Taken by instagram user schroeder_allan.
