EDITOR’S NOTE A HISTORY LESSON They say journalism is the first draft of history. In the 1990s, oceans of newspaper ink were spilled over a spate of officerinvolved shootings in Boise that, by the turn of the 21st century, had left the Boise Police Department and City Hall in the PR doghouse. At the time, news reports centered on the shootings—which at their height left about half a dozen citizens and one officer dead during a 19-month period—as well as the investigations they prompted. Outrage ran high—particularly when scandal surrounding then-Mayor Brent Coles took down his administration. When current Mayor Davie Bieter was sworn in in 2003, one of his first actions was to ask for the then-Boise police chief to resign. A lot has transpired over the past 20 decades—and even since 2014—as the Boise Police Department has evolved to approach its job in ways unheard of during the dark days of the ’90s. Community policing, veterans and refugee outreach, and a much improved stance toward local media have rehabilitated relations between BPD and the population it serves. While news stories of the past century formed the first draft of that period in the department’s history, a new draft has been written by Boise State University Historian Fellow Chelsee Boehm. Her oral history, Community as Constant, draws on numerous interviews with the officers, public officials, citizens and journalists who were most intimately involved in the events surrounding BPD from 1990-2014. Now owned by the Boise City Department of Arts and History, the document provides an unprecedented look at how the department viewed and managed the events that so greatly affected its public face and how those lessons have informed the BPD of today. While Boise Weekly News Editor George Prentice was among the journalists interviewed for the project, Boehm offered BW the opportunity to profile her work and excerpt a few key statements from her other subjects. For a fascinating look at this second draft of history, see Page 6. —Zach Hagadone

KEEP YOUR CAR HAPPY!

OPINION FROM THE FAR MARGINS But you went home NICOLE LEFAVOUR Dear Makers of Idaho Law in Your High Marble Capitol, We who’ve come north—the sons, daughters and descendants of those who immigrated—we thank you for leaving us in peace. We the refugees of war and those of us born in houses down the street, those who cried in nurseries next to your own babies, the ones who go to school next to your grandchildren, we who own stores, labor on your farms, treat you in clinics, change your sheets, drive your trucks, staff your factories, cook your food and build your houses, we thank you for not falling for the furor. While some would divide us based on a broken line in the desert south of Texas, based on a failure of our nation to imagine our economic and human interconnectedness and the need for us to be one America, you said no. You said city officers would not have to walk like border agents. You refused to let anyone make devils of the daughters and sons, fathers and mothers, of Idahoans. In all our languages and voices we sit down at dinner tables and we thank you. We, the wounded and broken, those with tumors or suspicions, we were there at your door, on the marble steps asking for more than a SpongeBob Band-Aid. We said, “We paid taxes for this, sent checks in envelopes with stamps to the IRS,” and you say no, we should buy aspirin, try home remedies, not get the lump checked, let our asthma, diabetes or high blood pressure wait until… until what? Until it’s an ambulance ride? An emergency room visit? An operation, amputation, a hospital stay? And you know the hospital will turn into bigger bills for paying patients, or the county will send us off with the indigent and we will not in our lifetimes make enough to pay off the “loan.” We asked you to expand Medicaid, we showed the loss and suffering, the grieving, and still you said no. We, your gay sons and daughters, the transgender children hiding alone in your hallways, those of us old enough to fill out job applications, to negotiate contracts with construction firms and vendors, those old enough to pay rent or apply for scholarships, we’ve waited decades. We look in the mirror in the morning and wonder how queer we look. Will our body or voice betray us? Has our effort to grow our hair long to look more feminine failed? Did we forget to take off our wedding ring or let slip the wrong pronoun in the story of our life? We, the mothers and fathers of the different, the ones who live in fear every time our BOISE WEEKLY.COM

child comes home crying or locks the door on that sad bedroom upstairs. We, whose children wear scars—literal ones—the ones who overdosed and survived, who crashed cars, drew nooses and talked of wanting to die, we have implored you. Can you not make the world something less to be feared? Can you not say the hate and criminal exclusions of beautiful human beings are wrong? Can you not add four words to law and let our children live, work, sleep in peace to wake and see a world as wide open to them as to the next child? But you said no, not this year, again, and you went home. Those with dirt beneath our nails, with calloused hands and overalls, uniforms and note pads, mops and diapers, we came again concerned about how an hour of our work is worth $7. We came to say how even two full-time jobs will only almost pay rent and utilities and food, but not child care or medical bills, nor car repairs or the clothing our children need. We came asking you to raise all boats, give us money to spend in your stores, to pay the repairmen and the plumbers. We asked that you say that the work of a human being is worth more than $7, because you would never clean a toilet—much less 10 of them— for $7. You would never pick grapes in the heat, spray chemicals and wade out where the snakes coil in the sun for $7. For a daily wage of $48 you would not bend all day digging, scraping hauling, shoveling or milking when the trees hang with frost and the ground has frozen. Who with dignity would? To eat, to choose work over welfare, we must. We asked you for more than $7.25 an hour and you said no. We are the children of fanatics whose bodies are riddled with what our parents wouldn’t do for us in the name of their god. We are ghosts, broken girls and boys, who will never play as your children did. We asked you to remember children can’t consent to church membership, can’t refuse to belong to a church that would kill them for God. Our belief in a kind god didn’t matter. We asked not to be property. We asked not to be pawns in a power game between church and state. We asked you to draw a moral line, to put the sanctity of life before someone’s belief in something unreasonable, something dangerous, and you said no. Sincerely, Idaho

NOW AND THEN

New testimonies give voice to the most controversial era of the Boise Police Department GEORGE PRENTICE

GEORGE PRENTICE

Community as a Constant author Chelsee Boehm speaks with Dr. Todd Shallat, author, historian and founder of the Center of Idaho History and Politics outside the Boise City Hall police substation.

he years 1990 to 2014 were the most controversial in the history of the Boise Police Department. For more than two decades, the department was rocked by shootings and scandal, which began an evolution that ultimately redefined policing in Boise. Community as a Constant, a recently completed oral history, provides unprecedented public access to eyewitness accounts by the former police officers, police chiefs, elected officials and journalists of that era [Editor’s note: An interview with Boise Weekly News Editor George Prentice is included in the oral history.] Authored by Boise State University Historian Fellow Chelsee Boehm, Community as a Constant is her master’s thesis, which she defended before a panel that included Boise History Programs Manager Brandi Burns and Boise State professors Dr. Joanne Klein, a published police historian in her own right, and Dr. Todd Shallat, author, historian and founder of the Center of Idaho History and Politics. Alongside numerous other Idaho journalists and news organizations, and as Boehm is set to receive her graduate degree from Boise State, Community as Constant is now the formal property of the Boise City Department of Arts and History and available to the public as part of Boise’s official record. It is a detailed, personal and often emotional history. “Ultimately, the project satisfies a number of audiences,” said Shallat. “No. 1: Academia. No. 2: The city’s Department of Arts and History. Keep in mind that all of this goes into the archives as an eternal resource. No. 3: The police department. And yes, there have been a number of things in their past that they wish had never happened. Finally, No. 4: The most important audience, the public. History permits criticism and the freedom to say, ‘These are things that we need to do better.’”

‘DODGE CITY’ By the late 1990s, the 130-year-old Boise Police Department was unaccustomed to serious outbreaks of violence. All of that changed in January 1996 when, over a 19-month period, six officer-involved shootings left seven citizens and one Boise police officer dead. A task force, formed in 1998 by then-Mayor Brent Coles, concluded that a number of Boise teens and parents had lost respect for the BPD, adding that they often saw police as a confrontational, authoritarian force, rather than a valuable contributor to the city. Mike Wetherell, Boise City councilman, 1986-2003, 4th Judicial Court judge, 2003-2014 “It’s a tragedy whenever anyone loses their life; but to sort of hold the city up as being a place where apparently, we were a ‘Dodge City’ or something, with the police out of control and shooting unarmed citizens in the streets, was simply inaccurate. You know, the famous saying of Mark Twain was that there are liars, damn liars and statisticians. And what they were doing was they were taking a very carefully chosen period of time and then they were saying, ‘Well, statistically, Boise, for the population that it has, has the highest or one of the highest ratios of suspects killed by the police per capita in the nation.’ And the problem with that is they chose the time frame.” 1

BOISEweekly | APRIL 12–18, 2017 | 7

Jim Kerns, Boise police oﬃcer, sergeant, lieutenant, captain and deputy chief, 1982-2011 “We’d never experienced anything like that as an agency before, and so the public, the majority of the public, supported us for what we did. They believed that if we fired upon someone that they probably deserved it. But there was a faction of the public that became very vocal. They got the interest of the news media. And the news media then came to the police department to try to get additional information about this police officer-involved shooting. And it was during that time where the Boise Police Department had a policy where we really didn’t have great media relations—we didn’t work well with the public, or with the media. … And when that happens and when you don’t give the public, or the media, the information from yourself, they’ll go out and find information that will fill their story. … And we did our own investigation at the time of our officer-involved shootings, and that leads itself to their own concerns from the

Phillip Thompson, Idaho Black History Museum executive director “You were always aware when dealing with the police—and my mother taught us, at a very young age, how to deal with [police] properly to lessen the likelihood of you either being shot, wrongfully incarcerated, beaten up, etc. So, that was ingrained when I was a kid: speak properly, speak respectfully, take a stand and, you know, stand up for yourself, know your rights. But at the same time, don’t set yourself up for a tragic situation. Don’t win the battle to lose the war.” 3 Meanwhile, independent investigations from the Idaho Office of the Attorney General, FBI and U.S. Department of Justice all cleared the Boise police involved in the historic string of officer-involved shootings of the late 1990s. However, yet another fatal shooting on Sept. 20, 1997 would cast perhaps the longest shadow over the department.

“

HISTORY PERMITS CRITICISM AND

THE FREEDOM TO SAY, ‘THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO DO BETTER.’”

Mike Wetherell: “There were recordings, which in my opinion helped show that the officers had given these two young men the opportunity to get rid of their weapons and surrender, and it just did not happen. There were independent witnesses who basically supported the police officers’ description of what had happened. And at the same time, you had individuals who were saying, ‘Well, you know, the police officers obviously just went crazy and started firing away.’ And then you had other people who were saying, ‘Well, they [the brothers] got exactly what they deserved.’ And I made the statement at the time that the parents and the families of these two young men have every right to ask questions about what happened and how it happened and the facts that led up to it just as the police officers and the family of Officer Stall had the right to know what occurred and why their son or husband was killed. We don’t [judge] things in this country by trial of opinion. We try to determine the facts and then make a reasonable judgment.” 4

BADGE NO. 512

Two years after the incident, the parents of Craig and Doug Brodrick hired F. Lee Bailey, famed attorney for OJ Simpson, and lodged a $20 million federal lawsuit against the city of Boise, alleging BPD had violated their sons’ civil rights and pointing to the department’s then-recent history of officerinvolved shootings. BPD rank-and-file stood by the shootings of the Brodrick brothers.

Mark Stall served five years as a sheriff’s deputy in Los Angeles County before he returned home to Boise where, soon thereafter, he joined the Boise Police Department. His fellow officers said Stall, who was assigned BPD Badge No. 512, was a bit of prankster, occasionally tying fishing line to rig the headlights, windshield wipers or siren to activate when a surprised partner jumped behind the wheel of a patrol car. What occurred on Sept. 20, 1996 was no joking matter. A routine traffic stop of a 1977 Chevrolet Impala at 15th and Idaho streets, near the former Rider’s Bar in downtown Boise, would end with Stall and two of

public that, ‘Hey, if the police are shooting someone and they’re doing their own investigation, they’re going to obviously find that the police officer did the right thing.’ And so, there was the appearance—and not real—but the appearance to the public that we were pretty closed, and that we [were] not going to open ourselves up to any kind of scrutiny by the media; therefore, the public had to draw its own conclusions based upon the media. And we still thought, as a police department, that the public should support us. And the majority did. There was just a very vocal minority that soon became a vocal force to be reckoned with. It was more than a minority but less than the majority.” 2

the vehicle occupants dead. Stall and fellow Officer Ron Winegar were among several BPD officers who responded as backup to the traffic stop. According to witnesses, brothers Craig and Doug Brodrick emerged from the Impala, each wielding a weapon. A gun battle ensued, seriously injuring Winegar. A bullet struck Stall’s right side, only an inch away from his protective vest. Stall was the first—and still the only—Boise police officer killed in the line of duty.

was a very good car stop by some officers, and it turned out to be a traffic incident. But I have no doubt in my mind that the Brodrick brothers would have either performed robberies, kidnappings, something, because people don’t drive around with those type of masks. They had their gun holsters riveted into their pants pockets, so they were carrying concealed in such a way that they could get their guns out quickly. They were up to no good.” 5 In 1998, federal investigators cleared BPD of any criminal civil rights violations in connection with the Brodrick shootings. It wasn’t until February 2001 that the parents of the Brodrick brothers dropped their civil suit against the city of Boise; but the Boise Police Department was still reeling from the string of officer-involved shootings and the loss of Officer Stall. Jim Kerns: “That changed our community, it changed our police department, and that changed our lives dramatically. So when Mark was killed, the public outcry for the shooting of a police officer was deafening. The public really came out and supported us and when Mark’s funeral was held, we actually had a procession that lasted well over five miles. It started at the Boise State Pavilion and it ended at Dry Creek Cemetery; and by the time the first cars got to Dry Creek, there were still cars in the parking lot at the Pavilion trying to get into the procession. The streets were lined, the marquees along State Street were: ‘We love you, Mark,’ ‘We support the police department.’ And we thought maybe we had turned a corner.” 6

A CITY HALL SCANDAL A big part of “turning that corner” was the creation of a new Boise police ombudsman position. The Boise City Council created the office of the ombudsman in November 1997, but it wasn’t until March 1999 that the city hired then-Boise Cascade Human Resources Manager Pierce Murphy to serve as an independent investigator of citizen complaints against BPD. At the time, then-Boise City Councilman Mike Wetherell said Murphy needed the full-throated support of elected officials because, “we could hire Jesus Christ for this position and he could not fill it without help from his father.” Stanton Niccolls: “The ombudsman didn’t bother me at all. If you’ve got clean officers, having people look at you shouldn’t bother you. Now, don’t get me wrong. When you’re involved in something,

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

you’re always worried about, ‘Are they going to see what I saw?’ and ‘Are they going to believe me when I tell them what happened?’ That’s just a part of life. But, the thing about the ombudsman is they come in and now the citizens have somebody they can talk to and you’ve got a non-police department person investigating your crime. So, when they come out, hopefully it helps calm the citizen that think that maybe the police are trying to do some sort of cover-up.” 7 There was a cover-up emerging, but at Boise City Hall. The scandal would not only take down the administration of then-Mayor Coles but end up tainting the leadership of then-Boise Police Chief Don Pierce. Coles was convicted of fraud and misuse of public money. As the scandal was beginning to gain steam, Coles turned to Pierce and asked him to conduct an internal investigation into allegations that the mayor, his chief of staff and human resources director had all used public funds to finance a 2002 whirlwind trip to New York City—including pricey meals and Broadway show tickets. Pierce’s probe into the matter only lasted three days, didn’t include any tape-recorded interviews of his subjects and, by Pierce’s own admission, included the destruction of Pierce’s own handwritten notes. Don Pierce, Boise police chief, 20002004 “The result of that was my reputation was being tarnished. There was a lot of overflow onto the police department, and their reputations also took a hit because of it.” 8 While Coles and his two associates were subsequently convicted and sent to jail, newly hired Ombudsman Pierce Murphy, in a scathing 156-page report, wrote that Pierce had done a lousy job in his internal investigation and had even failed to cooperate with the Idaho attorney general’s criminal investigation. Chief Pierce was also losing the support of his own officers, when the Boise Police Union slapped him with a vote of “no confidence.” That didn’t bode well for Pierce’s professional future, since newly elected Boise Mayor Dave Bieter had swept into office with robust support from the union.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Don Pierce: “In the long term, we may have come to understand each other, but I didn’t necessarily agree with some of the things that [Bieter] wanted to do. I thought that he was way too easy with the union. I believed that he owed the union for helping him get elected and that was going to cause a lot of problems during the upcoming negotiations. I think the union thought that I was going to cause a lot of problems, and about three weeks into his term of office, he said that he would like me to resign. I said, ‘Fine with me. Here’s my resignation.’ And that was the end of it.” 9 Through the course of Bieter’s administration, which began in 2003 and continues to this day, BPD would face more events shaping its reputation, for good or ill. Among them were the December 2004 fatal officer-involved shooting of Boise teen Matthew Jones and a July 2009 armed shootout with Iraq War veteran George Nickel, who survived the ordeal and went on to aid BPD in its treatment of vets. Of a more positive nature is BPD’s evolution of “community policing” techniques, softening and enhancing the department’s image. “I should point out that everyone I heard from didn’t put any restrictions on my questions and all of the former chiefs, police officers, citizens, journalists, you name it, cooperated with the project,” Boehm said. “All except one: Dan Popkey.” Boehm was referring to the former Idaho Statesman journalist, whose byline appeared above scores of some of Boise’s biggest stories during his tenure (1984-2014). Popkey currently serves as press secretary to Rep. Raul Labrador (R-Idaho). “For some reason, he was having none of it,” she said. Meanwhile, Boehm had a postscript: “I just decided to enlist in the Boise Police Department Citizen Police Academy,” she said. “What’s the most important thing I learned from all of this? Police officers are people. We see the uniform. We see the gun. And I guess it should be obvious but it’s not. They are us. We are them.” 1 Mike Wetherell–0H031 2 Jim Kerns–OH018 3 Phillip Thompson–OH036 4 Mike Wetherell–OH031 5 Stanton Niccolls–OH033 6 Jim Kerns–OH018 7 Stanton Niccolls–OH033 8-9 Don Pierce–OH016 Boise Police Department Oral History Project, Boise City Department of Arts and History

ACHD OPEN HOUSE: TWO-WAY CONVERSIONS

THE CABIN PRESENTS: LAUREN GROFF

FANDEMONIUM

Amid a historic wave of construction and redevelopment in downtown Boise, a number of streets in the core are being considered for conversion from one-way to two-way. Among them, Fifth and Sixth streets between Fort and Myrtle streets. The Ada County Highway District will host an open house on the changes Thursday, April 13 with two sessions at the Basque Center: the ﬁrst, from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m., is scheduled to accommodate downtown workers during the lunch hours, while the second, from 5-7 p.m., is geared toward the after-work crowd. ACHD will make materials from the open house available online and at the Basque Center through the end of business Friday, April 14. Comments can be sent to ACHD at 3775 Adams St. in Garden City or emailed to projects@achdidaho.org until Thursday, April 27. 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m., 5-7 p.m.; FREE. Basque Center, 601 Grove. St., 208-387-6238, achdidaho.org.

Lovers can be deeply committed to each other but still exist worlds apart. That’s the plot of Lauren Groff’s 2015 National Book Award ﬁnalist novel, Fates and Furies, in which a husband and wife each tell the stories of their marriage—with the wife illuminating her husband’s privilege and some of the mysteries of matrimony. Rather than being dour, Fates and Furies shows how a few secrets and some self interest can be good for relationships. Groff’s other books include Delicate Edible Birds, The Monsters of Templeton and Arcadia, all of which have been celebrated for their ﬁnely tuned prose. Groff will read and talk about her work, as well as answer audience questions, at The Egyptian Theatre Thursday, April 13 as part of The Cabin’s Readings and Conversations series—an event you’ll be furious if you miss. 7:30 p.m. $25-$35. The Egyptian Theatre, 700 W. Main St., 208331-8000, thecabinidaho.org.

When the organizers of Fandemonium 2017 describe their 13th annual event as an “entertainment expo … celebrating all things media culture,” they aren’t kidding. Marvel at the number of contests, workshops, panel discussions, parties, demonstrations, video and tabletop gaming events, exhibitors and honored guests featured at the Wyndham Garden hotel in Boise. From Friday, April 14-Sunday, April 16 you can learn how to crochet “Zombie Survival Style,” take part in a K-Pop cosplay dance party, share “Anime That Scarred Me for Life” or hit the hay with a Homestuck sleepover— and that’s just a taste of what’s going down the ﬁrst day. The tagline for this year’s Fandemonium is “Fight For The Future,” but with admission starting at $12, it might well be “ﬁght for a ticket.” 10 a.m., times vary; $12-$35. Wyndham Garden Boise Airport Hotel, 3300 S. Vista Ave., 208-343-4900, fandemonium.org.

Laughing out loud.

ALMOST THERE PRESENTS: KYLE KINANE With his full beard, not-so-full head of hair and chill but sardonic delivery, actor/comedian/writer Kyle Kinane would have been perfect as a Sons of Anarchy extra. He has the chops. Kinane was the voice of Biker Dude in the 2013 animated ﬁlm Epic; he voices Ice Cream in the nutty Warner Bros./Disney XD animated series Right Now Kapow; and he helped develop the twisted Comedy Central animated sketch show Triptank. Stand-up, however, is where Kinane is making his biggest mark—he did a brilliant ﬁve minutes on Conan last year, has done three one-hour Comedy Central specials and much more—which is why local comic Dylan Haas chose Kinane to launch his comedy promotion project, Almost There, by bringing the comic to Boise for a one-night performance on Wednesday, April 19, at Neurolux.

DIEGO’S UMBRELLA, APRIL 12, REEF When SF Weekly dubs you “one of the most wild, raucous bands in the Bay Area,” you’ve earned the right to self-apply whatever title you want. In the case of Diego’s Umbrella, band members opted for “San Francisco’s Ambassadors of Gypsy Rock.” Sounds good to us—in more ways than one. The quintet has shredded stages big and small from coast to coast and continent to continent with its hyperactive sound infused with Eastern European rhythms fueled by heavy marching drums, searing violin and righteous accordion. Mingling Klezmer with punk, folk with country and Mariachi with rock, a lot ﬁts under Diego’s Umbrella—including a live show that gets audiences jumping with wild abandon. Currently touring behind its latest album, Edjka (Hardline Entertainment, March 2017), the band will bring its signature style to Boise, where it will turn Reef into a whirling Gypsy camp on Wednesday, April 12.

OCEANS OF MARS, APRIL 15, BOISE HEMPFEST When Eric Bruckbauer played Boise a few years ago, it was with his band Warning: Danger!, a four-piece punk outﬁt from the Paciﬁc Northwest that played songs about safety. No, really. It was part novelty, all party. Bruckbauer returns to town on Tax Day with his other band, Oceans of Mars, another party-punk four-piece from the Portland-Seattle area. “The focus is still on having a good time,” Bruckbauer said, and, to that end, outrageous props and crazy costumes are an essential element of an OOM show—but so is talent. Band members Bruckbauer, Ian Etheridge, Seth Jackson and Marcus Saxon are “veterans of the Northwest music scene” and no matter how “goofy and nasty” OOM songs are—“themes range from a love of nachos and beer to a birthday party for Satan”—they are well-crafted, danceable and addictive. OOM joins a lineup of talented acts and speakers Saturday, April 15 at the annual Boise Hempfest for a day of entertainment and cannabis education. Just remember: No smoking allowed. —Amy Atkins 2 p.m., FREE, Julia Davis Bandshell, facebook.com/ OceansofMars. Boise Hempfest: 10 a.m.-9 p.m., FREE. Julia Davis Park, 700 S.

WINESIPPER SIPPING SAUVIGNON BLANC Way back when, California Chardonnay ruled the white wine world—you almost couldn’t give away wines labeled Sauvignon Blanc. New Zealand, with wineries like Cloudy Bay leading the charge, changed everything. Before that, Robert Mondavi found a way around the dilemma. He borrowed the name of a French region famous for its Sauvignon Blancs, Pouilly Fume, and thus his version was reborn as Fume Blanc. Problem solved. For this week, it was a French versus California Sauvignon Blanc throwdown, with the Golden State coming out on top. Here are the winners: 2014 REGIS MINET POUILLY FUME VIEILLES VIGNES, $29 Deep, rich, floral aromas lead off with concentrated, very ripe peach backed by lychee nut, papaya, vanilla and spice. The palate is just as rich, offering sweet grapefruit, peach, baked apple and gooseberry. The silky finish goes on and on. This wine sports a depth of flavor and fleshy texture that reflects its unique terroir. 2014 TAFT STREET SAUVIGNON BLANC, $18 The lively floral aromas of this Russian River Valley entry are a mix of peach, pear, melon and pink grapefruit colored by a bit of spice. The flavors are round, ripe and creamy, offering bold stone fruit backed by touches of mineral and basil. A very approachable, easy drinking style, it shows just a kiss of acidity on the long finish. 2015 TRIONE SAUVIGNON BLANC, $19 Here, the aromas lean toward the tropical, with mango, ruby grapefruit, pineapple, green apple and gooseberry, along with a light hit of white pepper. Crisp apple and tangy grapefruit mark the palate, playing nicely against creamy, ripe citrus. A refreshing charmer, the bright limeade finish lingers nicely. —David Kirkpatrick BOISE WEEKLY.COM

For every great horror movie there are a slew of stinkers. While the only thing frightening about a number of this year’s offerings is how delusional the studios are if they think people will pay to watch some of the pablum passed off as horror, there are some stellar big-screen scares worth dropping the dough for. Below is our list of a few on both sides of the aisle.

ALREADY OUT Subversive horror flick Get Out (Feb. 24) has raked in more than $150 million in domestic box office sales, with Jordan Peele (Key & Peele, Keanu) breaking the record for highest grossing original debut by a writer-director, which was previously held by the 1999 genre-defining The Blair Witch Project—Peele is also the first black writerdirector to gross $100 million+ with a debut. Also here—and quickly gone—is the universally unliked The Bye Bye Man (Jan.13). A creepy character becomes corporeal when his name is uttered or even imagined, hence the mantra of the film’s twisted teens: “Don’t think it. Don’t say it.” Too bad none of them said, “Don’t make it.” In the it’s-about-time category, is the critically acclaimed M. Night Shyamalan written/directed Split (Jan. 20), which The New York Times described as, “At once solemn and preposterous, sinister and sentimental, efficient and overwrought, Split represents something of a return to form for its writer and director.” In the “Wasted Potential” file we have A Cure for Wellness (Feb. 17), directed by Gore Verbinski. This one is particularly disappointing because it should have been better: Verbinski directed the first three Pirates of the Caribbean, Rango and the brilliant The Ring. A Cure is eye candy, but Rotten Tomatoes suggests its “surfeit of visual style [is] wasted on a derivative and predictable story.” Least but not last is Rings (Feb. 24), which brings the Americanized versions of the heartstopping Japanese original, Ringu, to three. Variety

(L-R) James McAvoy is Hedwig in M. Night Shyamalan’s return to form Split, Daniel Kaluuya plays the imperiled boyfriend in critically acclaimed Get Out and Dane DeHaan hobbles through the disappointing A Cure for Wellness.

says Rings is a “blah generic ghost story that’s halfheartedly built around the premise of a videotape that kills. It’s now the file-share that kills. I don’t know why that’s less threatening, but it is.” Last but not least is The Devil’s Candy (March 17), a well-received flick about a painter possessed by the Prince of Darkness. Rotten Tomatoes says it, “Subverts horror tropes while serving up more than enough stylish thrills to satisfy genre enthusiasts.”

COMING SOON A Dark Song (April 28) described on its Facebook page as an “Irish Welsh occult horror film,” is about two desperate people who turn to black magic. Wired.co.uk called it a “claustrophobic horror that’s equal parts haunted house and pot-boiler thriller.” As a prequel to 2012’s Prometheus, Alien: Covenant (May 19) promises to dig further yet into the history of the terrifying Xenomorphs, exposing the extent of the species’ rapacious appetite for resources. It’s a must-see for fans of the franchise. Speaking of awakening, the 19th installment in The Amityville Horror saga, Amityville: The Awakening (June 30) hits theaters more than a year after its original release date. This time around, it’s the story of young Belle (Bella Thorne) and her comatose twin James (Cameron Monaghan of Shameless) who wakes up after they move into the house with their single mother. Apparently, James isn’t the only one “awakened.” ATA sounds like a shitshow, but is worth seeing—maybe wait for a second-run showing or streaming—if only as an homage to the 1979 original (which featured a terrifying James Brolin).

LATER THIS YEAR Once again, filmmakers will attempt to bring Stephen King successfully to the big screen and this year, they’ll try not once but twice.

First comes the visual version of King’s popular multi-volume sci-fi/fantasy The Dark Tower (Aug. 4), a sort of post-apocalyptic Western starring outstanding actors Idris Elba (Luther, Prometheus, Zootopia) as Roland Deschain a.k.a. The Gunslinger and Oscar award-winning Matthew McConaughey (True Detective, Dallas Buyers Club, Interstellar) as The Man in Black. If those two aren’t reason enough to see the film, its producers might be: Stephen King, Ron Howard, Akiva Goldsman and Brian Grazer. The following month, Bill Skarsgard (Hemlock Grove, Allegiant, Atomic Blonde) takes on the iconic role of Pennywise the Clown in It (Sept. 8), first embodied by Tim Curry in the 1990 TV mini-series of the same name. Where big-screen portrayals of King stories often fall short, the mini-series worked, mainly because it had the time to cover the breadth of the epic 1986 novel. When it was announced Skarsgard would play Pennywise, critics and fans alike questioned the choice. The recently released trailer, however, proved it either a genius move or a moot point: Within 24 hours, the trailer had received 200 million+ views, “blowing past the previous record of 139M set by Universal’s The Fate of the Furious back in December,” according to deadline.com. Fall starts to go flat with Annabelle: Creation (Aug. 11), the origin story of the creepy doll in The Conjuring, and the fourth installment in the Conjuring franchise; Flatliners (Sept. 29), a reboot of the 1990 classic, which starred Kevin Bacon, Julia Roberts and Kiefer Sutherland, the latter of which stars in the 2017 version, too; Insidious: Chapter 4 (Oct. 20) gives us yet another prequel (ugh), again not directed by James Wan (double ugh) focusing on the life of psychic Elise Rainier, played again by the always awesome Lin Shaye; and Saw: Legacy (Oct. 27) the eighth installment of the franchise that should have ended when Jigsaw died in 2010.

Lee’s Candies owner on chocolate, magic and the ‘family farm’

P.O. Box 1657, Boise, ID 83701

“Make sure your cat’s flea control is safe and effective. Call us today!”

OFFICE ADDRESS Boise Weekly’s ofﬁce is located at 523 Broad Street in downtown Boise. We are on the corner of 6th and Broad between Front and Myrtle streets.

GEORGE PRENTICE Don’t even think about confusing Lee’s Candies with See’s Candies. Only one of them—Lee’s— was born and still thrives in Boise. “Lee was my dad, Lee Nokleby, who founded the store in downtown Boise in 1947. Yes, we get confused with See’s all the time, but I guess he thought it would have been odd for him to call the store Nokleby’s,” said Curtis, current owner of Lee’s. “My playpen used to be in the back of the store. This is the only thing I ever wanted to do.” With Easter just a few days away on Sunday, April 16, Nokleby was a busy man, working 12-hour days making nearly three-dozen types of chocolates, concocting creams, stirring caramel and taking the occasional taste to make sure the recipe was exactly the same as his late father’s. It was a rare opportunity for Nokleby to sit still long enough to talk to Boise Weekly. Is your business an accurate barometer of the economy? When the most recent recession hit, business fell off 50 percent. That Christmas bottomed out. The day after Christmas we had the biggest sale ever and it was gone in one day. Has the post-recession business returned? Regular customers? Yes. But corporate customers never came back. I keep hearing from a lot of companies that they just quit giving holiday gifts of candy to their own customers. How’s business right now? Valentine’s Day was OK. It looks like Easter will be OK. But Christmas is everything in this business. It’s just like a farmer’s main crop; so, I harvest our crop every Christmas. Valentine’s Day, Easter, Mother’s Day and the rest? They supplement that. The quality of your chocolate is some of the best I’ve ever tasted. It’s the highest grade of chocolate available from our supplier, Peter’s Chocolate in Pennsylvania. We’ve used them for years. Let’s talk about the quality of chocolate. Some of the best selling candy bars don’t even taste like chocolate anymore. That’s because it’s not even real chocolate. They use what is called a confection coating or BOISE WEEKLY.COM

compound coating. It costs them half the price of real chocolate. Plus, they use high fructose corn syrup for sweetening, but it’s cheap. I don’t use any of those things. Let’s get into some of your recipes, particularly your chocolate-covered creams. Those flavors also become our cream-filled Easter eggs—15 varieties. Chocolate cream; peppermint cream; vanilla walnut cream; orange cream, where I grate whole oranges inside; peanut butter cream; and then our Monte Carlo, with the vanilla center and a mix of soft caramel. Walk me through your process of making a cream-ﬁlled egg. First, I cook a large pot of the flavoring, all natural. While that’s cooling, I make a second pot of something called Mazetta—a really fluffy, marshmallow-y type cream. That’s why my creams are so smooth and creamy. Then we add the two. It must set for a while. The next day, I come back and roll it all into giant loves, then cut it into smaller egg-shapes. Then they’re ready for chocolate dipping.

These pets can be adopted at the Idaho Humane Society.

How do you keep your colleagues from nibbling all day? My dad used to say, “You can nibble all you want. But if you get fat, I’ll fire you.” Joking aside, if they want to nibble, let them nibble. But if you start shoving a lot of really rich chocolate in your mouth, you might get sick. Customers have told me that they took a box of chocolates and finished them off in 10 minutes. Whoa. It’s interesting to watch your eyes twinkle a bit when you talk about making candy. If you don’t put a bit of magic in the recipe, it isn’t going to work. We use the best ingredients and take a lot of time and love to make our candy, but it’s really about the magic.

PAGE BREAK $GYLFH IRU WKRVH RQ WKH YHUJH DINNER IS SERVED

DEAR MINERVA, I am by no means an upper-class person. I wasn’t raised with the best of everything nor pretend to be. My ﬁance is from a much more afﬂuent background. I love him very much but I am uncomfortable around his family because I feel they look down on me. I realize a lot of it is my own insecurity so to try and get over it, I have invited his parents over for dinner. I’m a good cook, but frankly, what should I do about the table setting? I don’t know where to begin. Sincerely, —Place Upsetting

DEAR PLACE UPSETTING, Alas, society has given us much anxiety about class difference, though thankfully, not nearly as much as in past generations. We are used to seeing grand place settings in movies and in the upper echelons of society. Those kinds of settings are really only necessary for very formal affairs. A good rule to follow is to only set the table for the amount of courses you will be having. Forks always go on the left side of the plate with knives (blades always facing the plate) and spoons to the right. The glass (or glasses depending on formality) are always placed near the upper right side of the plate with the bread and butter plate and knife near the upper left side. Use this as your basic guide and don’t be surprised if people, even those in a higher economic class than you, still get it confused.

MINERVA’S BREAKDOWN

POYNTER FACT-CHECKING CERTIFICATE With “fake news,” 24/7 social media sharing and more journalism outlets than Sean Spicer can shake a stick of gum at, knowing what’s true and what’s outright bull is getting harder and harder. Vaunted journalism think tank Poynter wants to help consumers cut through the noise with an online course in fact-checking. For $99, enrollees will learn how to improve their skills in accountability journalism; make fact-checking $99, newsu.org videos; and debunk bogus claims, cover rumors, explode hoaxes and parse through gossip. A webinar focused on fact-checking politics and media includes ways to beef up the rigor of your fact-checking and how to ensure its greatest possible impact. Another webinar teaches students how to make the case for factchecking. Each assessment in the program includes about 20 multiplechoice and true/false questions, at least 80 percent of which learners must pass in order to receive the certiﬁcate. Geared toward bloggers, writers, reporters, editors, publishers and teachers, the course is really for anyone who wants to ensure what they’re reading, writing, saying or sharing doesn’t land anywhere in the realm of “alternative facts.” —Zach Hagadone

HOBO JARGON

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Before visiting Sicily for the first time, American poet Billy Collins learned to speak Italian. In his poem “By a Swimming Pool Outside Siracusa,” he describes how the new language is changing his perspective. If he were thinking in English, he might say that the gin he’s drinking while sitting alone in the evening light “has softened my mood.” But the newly Italianized part of his mind would prefer to say that the gin “has allowed my thoughts to traverse my brain with greater gentleness” and “has extended permission to my mind to feel a friendship with the vast sky.” Your assignment in the coming week, Aries, is to Italianize your view of the world. Infuse your thoughts with expansive lyricism and voluptuous relaxation. If you’re Italian, celebrate and amplify your Italianness. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It’s closing time. You have finished toiling in the shadow of an old sacred cow. You’ve climaxed your relationship with ill-fitting ideas that you borrowed from mediocre and inappropriate teachers once upon a time. And you can finally give up your quest for a supposed Holy Grail that never actually existed in the first place. It’s time to move on to the next chapter of your life story, Taurus! You have been authorized to graduate from any influence, attachment and attraction

that wouldn’t serve your greater good in the future. Does this mean you’ll soon be ready to embrace more freedom than you have in years? I’m betting on it. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The heaviest butterfly on the planet is the female Queen Victoria’s Birdwing. It tips the scales at two grams. The female Queen Alexandra’s Birdwing is the butterfly with the longest wingspan: more than 12 inches. These two creatures remind me of you these days. Like them, you’re freakishly beautiful. You’re a marvelous and somewhat vertiginous spectacle. The tasks you’re working on are graceful and elegant, yet also big and weighty. Because of your intensity, you may not look flight-worthy, but you’re actually quite aerodynamic. In fact, your sorties are dazzling and influential. Though your acrobatic zigzags seem improbable, they’re effective. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Picasso had mixed feelings about his fellow painter Marc Chagall, who was born under the sign of Cancer. “I’m not crazy about his roosters and donkeys and flying violinists and all the folklore,” Picasso said, referring to the subject matter of Chagall’s compositions. But he also felt that Chagall was one of the only painters “who understands what color really is,” adding, “There’s never been anybody since

Renoir who has the feeling for light that Chagall has.” I suspect that in the coming weeks, you will be the recipient of mixed messages like these. Praise and disapproval may come your way. Recognition and neglect. Kudos and apathy. Please don’t dwell on the criticism and downplay the applause. In fact, do the reverse. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Go Tell It on the Mountain” is the title of an old gospel song, and now it’s the metaphorical theme of your horoscope. I advise you to climb a tall peak—even if it’s just a magic mountain in your imagination—and deliver the spicy monologue that has been marinating within you. It would be great if you could gather a sympathetic audience for your revelations, but that’s not mandatory to achieve the necessary catharsis. You simply need to be gazing at the big picture as you declare your big, ripe truths. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you were a snake, it would be a fine time to molt your skin. If you were a river, it would be a perfect moment to overflow your banks in a spring flood. If you were an office worker, it would be an excellent phase to trade in your claustrophobic cubicle for a spacious new niche. In other words, Virgo, you’re primed to outgrow at least one of your containers. The boundaries you knew you would have to trans-

gress some day are finally ready to be transgressed. Even now, your attention span is expanding and your imagination is stretching.

surfaces and discard the packaging and ignore the outer layers, but I urge you to consider the possibility that right now they may have value.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): For more than a century, the Ringsaker Lutheran Church in Buxton, N.D. hosted rites of passage, including 362 baptisms, 50 marriages and 97 funerals. It closed in 2002, a victim of the area’s shrinking population. I invite you to consider the possibility that this can serve as a useful metaphor for you, Libra. Is there a place that has been a sanctuary for you, but has begun to lose its magic? Is there a traditional power spot from which the power has been ebbing? Has a holy refuge evolved into a mundane hangout? If so, mourn for a while, then go in search of a vibrant replacement.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’re growing too fast. That’s fine as long as you don’t make people around you feel they’re moving too slowly. You know too much, but that won’t be a problem as long as you don’t act snooty. And you’re almost too attractive for your own good, but that won’t hurt you as long as you overflow with spontaneous generosity. What I’m trying to convey, Sagittarius, is that your excesses are likely to be more beautiful than chaotic, more fertile than confusing. And that should provide you with plenty of slack when dealing with cautious folks who are a bit rattled by your lust for life.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Most people throw away lemon rinds, walnut shells and pomegranate skins. But some resourceful types find uses for these apparent wastes. Lemon rind can serve as a deodorizer, cleaner and skin tonic, as well as a zesty ingredient in recipes. Ground up walnut shells work well in facial scrubs and pet bedding. When made into a powder, pomegranate peels have a variety of applications for skin care. I suggest you look for metaphorically similar things, Scorpio. You’re typically inclined to dismiss the

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Until recently, scientists believed the number of trees on the planet was about 400 billion. But research published in the journal Nature says that’s wrong. There are actually three trillion trees on earth—almost eight times more than was previously thought. In a similar way, I suspect you have also underestimated certain resources that are personally available to you, Capricorn. Now is a good time to correct your undervaluation. Summon the audacity to recognize the potential abundance you have at your disposal. Then make plans

to tap into it with a greater sense of purpose. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The poet John Keats identified a quality he called “negative capability.” He defined it as the power to calmly accept “uncertainties, mysteries and doubts without any irritable reaching after fact and reason.” I would extend the meaning to include three other things not to be irritably reached for: artificial clarity, premature resolution and simplistic answers. Now is an excellent time to learn more about this fine art, Aquarius. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Are you ready for a riddle that’s more enjoyable than the kind you’re used to? I’m not sure if you are. You may be too jaded to embrace this unusual gift. You could assume it’s another one of the crazy-making cosmic jokes that have sometimes tormented you in the past. But I hope that doesn’t happen. I hope you’ll welcome the riddle in the liberating spirit in which it’s offered. If you do, you’ll be pleasantly surprised as it teases you in ways you didn’t know you wanted to be teased. You’ll feel a delightful itch or a soothing burn in your secret self, like a funny-bone feeling that titillates your immortal soul. P.S.: To take full advantage of the blessed riddle, you may have to expand your understanding of what’s good for you.
