IN WITH THE OLD NEW In September 2003, I came to work for Boise Weekly as the part-time receptionist. At the time, I worked two other jobs and, though it would be a struggle to fit in a third, I was an avid BW reader and loved the idea of being part of an organization whose views so closely aligned with my own. Also, it wouldn’t be the first time. My parents worked hard, but still had to make decisions like whether to buy groceries or turn the heater on because, sometimes, they couldn’t afford both. I could spell the word “wealth” but had no intimate knowledge of it. “Work” and I, however, were tight (we’d known each other for years). A third job was no big deal, and I was thrilled at the idea of working with people who wrote for a living. In my family, writing wasn’t a job, it was a hobby. I never considered it as a career, even though I started writing in grade school (I wrote my first play at age 7). At BW, however, I discovered my work ethic and love of writing didn’t have to be mutually exclusive. I eventually quit my other jobs and, for the past 14 years—minus about 18 months when I took a sabbatical and another job before coming back to BW full-time—I have worked harder and with more satisfaction than I ever thought possible. (I will forever be grateful to then-Editorin-Chief Cynthia Sewell and still-owner Sally Freeman for the opportunity of a lifetime.) In my time at Boise Weekly, I have had almost as many titles as Friday the 13th has sequels: Receptionist, Calendar Manager, Music Editor, Arts and Entertainment Editor, Arts and Entertainment Editor Emeritus, Advertising Director, Associate Editor, Associate Publisher and, now, Editor-in-Chief. It is with conflicted feelings I say goodbye to Zach Hagadone, my coworker/teacher/sounding board/kindred spirit/heart. For him, I am overjoyed. He is on his way to achieving a longtime goal of attending graduate school, and I couldn’t be more proud. For me, I am saddened by the thought of turning the corner into the newsroom and seeing an empty (albeit much cleaner and better organized) space where my friend once sat. I have worked for almost as many editors as Amityville Horror has sequels, and their legacy is now in my hands. I will do my damndest to honor it, no matter how hard I have to work. —Amy Atkins

BOISE WEEKLY.COM
OPINION THE NASTY GOD
An armageddon of empty arrogance BILL COPE If you don’t remember Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, I understand. It’s been awhile. Yet, once upon a time, they were the cutest couple in televangelism—if we define “cute” as “cheesy.” As preachers-in-residence on the PTL (Praise the Lord) Club, they looked like a pair of Cabbage Patch dolls, with some pre-teen Basquiat applying Tammy Faye’s makeup with spray paint. We mustn’t be too hard on Tammy Faye. Cancer got her in 2007. But for more than a decade, she and Jim were superstars ministering to the camera. In 1987, the many mansions of Jim and Tammy came tumbling down. Jim was convicted of defrauding PTL out of a big hunk of money, much of it going to encourage a woman to keep her mouth shut about his having drugged and raped her. He went to prison, Tammy divorced him and the PTL Club went bankrupt. As far as this casual observer was concerned, that was the end of the story—at least, until a couple of weeks ago, when I learned Jim Bakker is once again, as the kids say, a “thing.” Yes, squishy Jimmy is back to televangelizing, alarming the gullible into buying survival rations ahead of the End Times. It’s no shock a convicted criminal would return to his old flimflamming grounds. What else would such a man do for a living, having learned early in life he had a special talent for separating rubes from their money? I learned of Bakker’s re-emergence as an evangelical presence after he remarked (about a month ago) that the resistance to Trump is kickstarting the Apocalypse. “It seems like there is a hatred among people and this is satanic,” Bakker warned. “These people mocking the president... That’s the spirit of Antichrist.” Bakker isn’t the only highly visible evangelical warning of divine wrath if Americans don’t get straight with The Donald. Pat Robertson (the troll under The 700 Club bridge) said in February, “I think ... these people are not only revolting against Trump, they’re revolting against what God’s plan is for America.” Franklin Graham showed his theological depth with this: “He [Trump] did everything wrong, politically. He offended gays. He offended women. He offended the military. He offended black people. He offended the Hispanic people. He offended everybody! And he became president of the United States. Only God could do that.” While support for Trump is not universal among evangelical leaders—the sticky web of the Southern Baptist Convention is being torn ragged by the rift between those officials who have denounced Trump and those who will abide with no criticism of him—Robertson, Bakker and Graham are decidedly with the majority BOISE WEEKLY.COM
of white evangelical voters. Trump carried their numbers with an astounding 80 percent. Since the election, analysts have been straining their brains to explain how the self-professed most righteous Americans could fall so obediently in line behind such an obscene specimen as Donald Trump. Most commonly offered excuses are their economic distress and/or innate racism. There is truth to these rationales. As one of the least educated, most intellectually challenged demographics in our nation, it is no surprise they have suffered more economic distress than the average American. Iif you can’t tolerate the idea that a great many among this population are innately racist, then I’ll leave it to you to explain why there are so few mainline Catholic, Lutheran or Unitarian neo-Nazis or Klansmen. I am convinced it goes much further. From the beginning of Trump’s campaign, it became clear the reason the evangelical horde responds so sympathetically to this travesty of a man is that they recognize in him the rot and depravity in their own depths. It’s simple: They are as awful at being humans as he is. Why are they so attracted to the most strident, uncompromising churches to begin with? Might it be they avoid the more forgiving, liberal denominations because they understand, at some instinctual level, that far from being morally superior, they are, in truth, morally inferior? Might it be that evangelicals voted for a profane bastard for president for the same reason they were drawn into the evangelical mosh pit in the first place? That they, like him, possess no inherent sense of spirituality, of what is good and what is not good? And that without some malignant authoritarian figure—be it a vindictive preacher or a vindictive president—telling them how to behave... what to think... where to put their faith... who to blame... they would be lost in the incoherent muddle and muck of their own resentments, jealousies and violent natures? Might it be so easy to sell such ethically empty vessels the lies about Obama and Hillary because they simply don’t want to believe there are people more remarkable than themselves? That the only way they can respond to the reality that others are so much smarter, so much more accomplished, so much more loving... so much more in the likeness of the God they try to claim as theirs alone... is to dim those more radiant souls down to a darkness they can comprehend? I would suspect Jim Bakker knows exactly what I’m getting at, as does Robertson and Graham. But don’t count on any of them to ever say it, as dependent as they are on that never-ending rube money.

HEARTACHE, SHRAPNEL AND A CHILD NAMED REMEMBER Half the World explores how Boise transforms and is transformed by refugees GEORGE PRENTICE
Shrapnel ripped through the hands, arms, chest and mouth of Refik Sadikovic in 1995.
6 | JUNE 7–13, 2017 | BOISEweekly
Some newcomers to Idaho bring heirlooms, tapestries or recipes from their homelands. Refik Sadikovic brought shrapnel. “The shrapnel reminds me of the purpose of life,” he said. “During the war, I was helping people. I didn’t want to kill anybody. Somehow I was chosen to survive.” The war was in Sadikovic’s birthplace of Vrnograc, Bosnia, among the Bosnians, Serbs and Croats. In 1992, Sadikovic was forced to join the Bosnian army but, in 1994, when he said all hope for the Bosnians was lost, Sadikovic and nearly 40,000 other refugees escaped into what he called “a no-man’s land” between the Serbian and Croatian forces. Sadikovic crossed rivers and countless minefields, was held at gunpoint by Slovenian police and sent to a refugee camp. In 1995, the shrapnel from a hand grenade ripped into his body, wounding his hands, arms, chest and mouth. Sadikovic’s tale of survival would last another five years and several more dramatic chapters before he arrived in Boise in 2000. Here, he swept streets and learned English by listening to the radio. By 2009, he was working at Micron and had received bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Boise State University. Sadikovic is now pursuing a doctorate in education, curriculum and instruction. His miraculous story is only one of 10
chapters in a new book, Half the World, which chronicles some of the refugees who are now an integral part of the Boise community. The book, published by Rediscovered Books, is the eighth in the Boise State University Investigate Boise Community Research series, which has examined Treasure Valley sprawl, the recession, the local sustainable food community and the Boise connection to all things Basque. What sets Half the World apart from the previous efforts is urgency, echoing headlines from around the world concerning political and cultural debates over refugees. In “Improbable Sanctuary,” the first chapter of the book, historian/author/soon-to-retire Boise State professor Dr. Todd Shallat mentioned the Idaho town of Filer, where a pastor preached against a “Muslim refugee agenda,” calling Boise “a refugee dump” in 2015. Shallat also referred to a 2015 Twin Falls debate over a refugee resettlement center at the College of Southern Idaho and the April 2017 guilty pleas from three young male refugees in connection with an assault of a 5-year-old girl at a Twin Falls apartment complex. “And then there was this… what’s the word? Asinine. This asinine attempt by [Governor C.L. “Butch” Otter] to align himself with national hysteria over refugees,” said Shallat. He was talking about November 2015, when Otter and two dozen other governors sent a letter BOISE WEEKLY.COM

to then-President Barack Obama, demanding a halt to “rubber-stamped” immigration/refugee programs. “Do you remember that? Totally misinformed,” Shallat said. A little more than a block from the Idaho Statehouse, Boise Mayor Dave Bieter was in his City Hall office crafting a different message. “Bieter was shouting-distance away, but political light-years away, from Otter,” said Shallat. “Bieter ignited his own headlines by drafting a defiant response regarding refugees.” In a December 2016 letter to other U.S. mayors, Bieter wrote: “We don’t debate about who is more worthy or where they’re from. We are a welcoming city. We all have work to do. When it comes to immigration and refugees, presidents and Congress get to ‘say’ but mayors have to ‘do.’” In “Improbable Sanctuary,” Shallat examined the complex relationship Boise has had and still has with refugees, writing, “Both an immigrant city and an anti-immigrant city, Boise, historically had shunned prejudice but also endorsed it depending on what was at stake.” Today, Neighbors United, a Boise-based clearinghouse for refugee support services, links 30 nonprofits and 16 government agencies, and the Agency for New Americans provides case workers in 12 languages. The International Rescue Committee helps refugees become self-sustaining and the Boise Independent School District coordinates translation services in 84 languages. Shallat also helped bust three common myths regarding refugees: No. 1, that U.S. Homeland Security confirms “there is no harder way to
enter the country than as a refugee, subject to “the highest level of security check.” No. 2, “it is a fiction that refugees bleed the coffers of public assistance.” No. 3, Shallat pointed to studies that insist refugees have not displaced native workers. Rather, refugees in agricultural regions can reduce dependence on guest or undocumented workers. “The city of Boise defies red state stereotypes,” Shallat concluded, and the city’s embrace of refugees “is proof that right and left, secular and religious, we share common goals, even for different political reasons.”
TELLING EMELDA’S STORY Recent Boise State graduate Laura Winslow is a citizen of the world. Born in Copenhagen, she holds dual citizenship in Denmark and the U.S. and was anxious to study in America. She earned degrees in marketing and sociology but takes particular pride in her contribution to Half the World. “She’s a beautiful writer,” said Shallat, eliciting a smile from Winslow, who was within earshot. Winslow said interviewing the main subject for her essay, “Leave One to Remember,” was particularly daunting—requiring as many as three people to interpret Swahili into French, into English and back again. “When I first started working on this chapter, it gave me the opportunity to do some real sociological work,” said Winslow. “I love the idea of humanity. I met Emelda, and she is quintessentially innocent. Her story begins when she was a child.” Emelda Nzobhampari, 27, works as a 8 chocolatier at Happy Day Chocolates—

part of a job readiness program from Boise-based Full Circle Exchange. She has come a long way since 1994. Nzobhampari hasn’t seen her parents since then, when they left her with grandparents in a Rwandan village. Those grandparents were killed soon after by rebels in a war that, by May 1994, The New York Times reported, prompted a slow march of Rwandan refugees into Tanzania more than 10 miles long. Nzobhampari, then 5-yearsold, wandered her war-torn corner of the world, alone, for years—until 2005, when the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees began a file to help determine her fate. At first, Nzobhampari thought she might be resettled to Australia but, in 2006, the Tanzanian government began pushing Rwandan refugees back to Rwanda. “We were told to go back to where we came from, that we were no longer welcome,” she said. In her essay chronicling Nzobhampari’s journey, Winslow wrote: “Everyone she [knew]—her friends, her family, all of the people she used to see around her—was dead.” While in still another refugee camp, Nzobhampari met Emmanuel. They attended worship services together, became friends and fell in love. One day, United Nations officials posted a list at the camp naming those selected to be resettled. Nzobhampari’s name was on the list. Emmanuel’s name wasn’t. By then, Nzobhampari was expecting the couple’s child. “We wanted to get married,” she told Winslow. “We didn’t have time.” The baby boy, named Remember, was born in July 2014. One year later, Nzobhampari and Remember arrived in Boise. “Emmanuel, who has since been resettled to Canada, calls Emelda every day,” Winslow wrote. “The two hope to find a way to be together.” 7
TEFF LOVE Emily Fritchman is a Boise native. In the fall, she’ll begin her senior year at Boise State with a double major in history and English. At 21, she’s the youngest contributor to Half the World. Nonetheless, she’s already a published author. Fritchman’s work appeared in Forgotten Stories of the Boise Valley, published in 2016, in which she wrote about visiting a gold mine in the nowabandoned town of Pearl, Idaho. “But the story I worked on this past year is about something called teff, described as a tiny golden-brown grain that can give an Ethiopian injera flatbread a tangy sourdough-like taste,” Fritchman said. “It’s a native species of grass in Ethiopia.” Yordano Refu, an Ethiopian refugee who was resettled with her family to Boise, is what Fritchman called “a teff connoisseur.” Today, she works for one of the largest teff exporters in the U.S.—a farmer and biologist from the Boise Valley. Wayne Carlson was a Red Cross volunteer in Ethiopia during the 1970s. His experiences inspired him and his wife Elizabeth to relocate to the Boise Valley where they studied the climate, worked in the seed industry and bought a fiveacre farm. Soon, they were growing teff. That led Fritchman to Kibram Milash, another refugee from Ethiopia. Escaping extreme poverty and violence in his home country, Milash resettled to Boise in 2013, working as a janitor, taxi driver and barista before he secured a business loan. Milash opened a kiosk in the Boise International Market, but his entrepreneurial dream went up in smoke—literally—when a fire gutted the market in September 2015. Starting over, Milash opened Kibrom’s Ethiopian and Eritrean Restaurant on State Street in Boise. Teff grown at Carlson’s Canyon County farm regularly fills the pantry of Milash’s restaurant.
HALF THE WORLD: EXCERPTS FROM A NEW BOOK ABOUT REFUGEES IN BOISE “‘My shrapnel reminded me of the purpose of life. I believe that if you do good things in life, you will be protected. Because during the war I was helping people: I didn’t want to kill anybody, because I felt like if you kill anybody, even if that person is your enemy, it will come back somehow to bite you. Somehow, I was chosen to survive and I am here to share my story. My body was full of shrapnel, 15 wounds, and miraculously I survived. “‘I always think about that shrapnel, and so many foreign bodies that are inside, and at peace with me. And people ask if I feel anything. No, I don’t! I never felt anything, and even though some of the shrapnel pieces broke my bones, they don’t bother me. “‘This is why whenever I talk with refugee students in high schools, I encourage them. I say “Look, I came to America and I didn’t go to an American high school. I was able to finish college 8 | JUNE 7–13, 2017 | BOISEweekly
“I do not feel ashamed to ask for anything,” he said. “In America, everything has a solution.” Fritchman also spent some time in the Northwest home of the Refu family where, she wrote, “food is ceremony, a cultural bond.” “If you know an Ethiopian, you have eaten teff injera,” Refu said. “I think of teff and injera as doors that lead to questions and discussions, bringing cultures together.”
BOISE PUSHES BACK AGAINST STATEHOUSE HYSTERIA Half the World concludes with a chapter written by Dr. Errol Jones, professor emeritus at Boise State and winner of the city of Boise biennial award for excellence in civic contribution to history and the arts. Jones wrote of what
and now I’m getting my doctorate. I had to work much harder, because writing was much harder for me than for somebody who attended an American high school. “‘The only English I knew was from TV, and from listening to the NPR radio in my truck during my work. As somebody who is from a different country, I felt like if I didn’t know something, people will judge me and laugh at me. If an American doesn’t know how to spell, that’s fine; but if a foreigner doesn’t know how to spell, it’s embarrassing. I felt that I had to prove my worthiness to others. But you should believe in yourself and not give up. Don’t let fear or insecurity or anything or anyone else discourage you. That is my advice.’” —Excerpted from “Chosen to Survive,” Chapter 3, Half the World “‘I told him I had no family to go to. I didn’t know anyone in Rwanda, and I can never go back there. After everything that happened in Rwanda, I’ll never go there again.’
he called external “hysteria that challenges the City of Boise’s commitment to human rights.” He pointed to a 2015 Idaho Statehouse rally of self-named “militiamen” demonstrating against refugees, and a 2016 bill in the Idaho House of Representatives that would have prohibited state courts from acquiescing to Islamic or Sharia law (the bill was ultimately blocked in the Idaho Senate). More recently, Jones referred to President Donald Trump’s repeated efforts to ban refugees from majority-Muslim nations. All of this came, Jones pointed out, as the city of Boise continues to open its arms to refugees. “Boise institutions had rejected the politics of exclusion,” Jones wrote. “Whether other Idahoans would overcome the cycle of xenophobia remained to be seen.”
“When Emelda was 16, the harassment twisted into threats of murder. The man that Emelda had once thought could be a father to her was roaring at her that he had taken her in and cared for her. Now, as he was leaving to go back to Rwanda, she had to follow him there, or he would kill her before he left.” —Excerpted from “Leave One to Remember,” Chapter 4, Half the World “For Ethiopians, Yordanos explains, food is ceremony, a cultural bond. ‘If you know an Ethiopian, you have eaten teff injera. It is a staple in most every household. In America, I think of teff and injera as doors that lead to questions and discussion, bringing cultures together.’ Food nurtures the wealth of multicultural understanding. Ethiopian seeds, transplanted to the Boise Valley, cultivate a dynamic that benefits both.” —Excerpted from “Food of the Pharaohs,” Chapter 5, Half the World

WORLD VILLAGE FEST
I48 FILM COMPETITION
IBG PRIVATE GARDENS TOUR
Among the definitions of “global,” the Oxford Dictionary lists “relating to or embracing a group of items, etc.; total.” It’s an apt description of World Village Fest, which is about as “global” as it gets with dozens of dance, music, storytelling, poetry, film, art and food events, all of which take place over three days at Capitol Park in downtown Boise. Presented by Global Lounge, World Village Fest will be a small world after all with dozens of multinational performing groups showcasing the full range of Idaho’s diverse communities. From Afro-pop, Americana and Basque folk; to East Indian dance, flamenco and klezmer; to Native American drum and singing, Turkish and Iranian music, and the Zack Quintana Band’s blues rock, it’s the dictionary definition of diversity—from A to Z. June 9, 4-10 p.m.; June 10, 10 a.m.-10 p.m.; June 11, 9 a.m.5:30 p.m.; FREE. Capitol Park, 601 W. Jefferson, worldvillagefestival.com.
The idea of a 48-hour film competition wasn’t new when, 14 years ago, organizers decided Boise should give it a try and launched i48. Each June, teams write, cast, shoot, score and edit original short comedies, dramas and sci-fi short subjects in a 48-hour frenzy. Prizes and trophies are offered, but the real thrill is sharing films with friends and family on the big screen at The Flicks and The Egyptian. I48 has become so successful over the years that it spawned h-48, a horror-themed competition each October, and the i48 February challenge, which made its debut earlier this year. Soon, maybe the 48 won’t only stand for how many hours filmmakers have, but also how many related events there are. All films: June 10, 12:45 p.m. and 2:45 p.m., $5. The Flicks, 646 W. Fulton Street. Best of i48 screening and awards ceremony: Sunday, June 11, 5 p.m., $7. The Egyptian, 700 W. Main Street, 208794-1157, idaho48.org.
For 31 years, the Idaho Botanical Garden has been guiding the greenthumbed and horticulturally curious alike on walkabouts to showcase some of the premier home gardens in the Boise area. This year, the Private Gardens Tour focuses on homes built on the Boise Bench in the early 1900s, featuring old growth trees alongside modern, updated landscapes. The tour is a fundraiser for the Idaho Botanical Garden, its plants and programs, and the Lunaria Grant Program, which was established to “encourage and cultivate horticulture and related educational projects” throughout the state. With summer temperatures on the rise, it’s time to make your yard an oasis. Take the tour and be inspired. Find a map of the homes along the route at the IBG website. 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; $20-$25 adv., $30-$35 door. Idaho Botanical Garden, 2355 Old Penitentiary Road, 208-343-8649, idahobotanicalgarden.org.

GORDON LIGHTFOOT, JUNE 10, EGYPTIAN THEATRE If you could read Gordon Lightfoot’s mind, you might discover how the Canadian singer-songwriter has been able to entertain audiences for nearly eight decades. Maybe you’d get a little insight into how he has written some of the most iconic songs in folk-rock history. As cool as that might be, it would be much more fun to see Lightfoot live and let hit song after hit song wash over you. Even though Lightfoot will celebrate his 79th birthday later this year, he’s still touring and performing across Canada and the U.S., including a stop in Boise on Saturday, June 10, when he and his 12-string will take the stage at the Egyptian Theatre. Not only is it impressive that Lightfoot is still touring, it’s a wonder he is still alive, let alone performing: He survived an aortic aneurysm and tracheotomy, and he was in a coma for six weeks. In his 1970 song, “If You Could Read My Mind,” Lightfoot sang: “If you could read my mind, love. / What a tale my thoughts could tell.” Soon, learning more about Lightfoot won’t require a psychic skill—The Canadian Press reported earlier this month that a muchanticipated biography on the private Lightfoot will hit bookstores this fall. —George Prentice 8 p.m., $45-$100.

Laura Welsh Berg presents a pitch-perfect prince.
HAMLET, THY NAME IS LAURA WELSH BERG At the June 2 production of Idaho Shakespeare Festival 2017 opener Hamlet, the audience was treated to something even diehard Bard fans may not have seen before: a female actor playing the title role. This is the first time in more than a decade ISF has staged Shakespeare’s famous tragedy, and the first time it has cast a woman as the hand-wringing Danish prince who must negotiate tortured relationships with his mother and girlfriend while plotting revenge against his murderous uncle-turned-stepfather. Laura Welsh Berg and Jonathan Dyrud will alternate portraying the prince throughout the season, and it was Berg who brought Hamlet to life opening night, capturing the brooding, baleful qualities and feverish energy of the character. Berg joins a long line of actresses playing Hamlet. In the 18th century, Charlotte Clarke and “Mrs Powell” were the first, and there have been many others HAMLET June 6, 7, 10, 14, 15, 16, since—includ20-24; 8 p.m. June 11, 18, 27; ing acclaimed 7 p.m. $27-$75. Idaho Shakecontemporary speare Festival, 5657 Warm performances Springs Ave., 208-336-9221, by Frances de idahoshakespeare.org. la Tour and Maxine Peake. This year, Berg is one of at least two women cast as Hamlet in the U.S.—the other is Lenne Klingaman, who will portray him during the July-August run of the play at the Colorado Shakespeare Festival. Seeing a woman deliver the lines “Frailty, thy name is woman” and “Get thee to a nunnery” imbues them with particular consequence and venom, and it also cuts the deja vu. Hamlet is sacred in the theatrical canon, but the 400-year-old-play is so overly familiar, much of it has become cliche over time, with few surprises as actors deliver iconic line after iconic line: “To be, or not to be” is buried so deep into pop culture, it can feel at odds with the thoughtful speech it initiates. Berg in the role of Hamlet is enough to once again pull in audiences and loosen the play from the grip of popular understanding. It’s a chance to see Hamlet with new eyes—and it doesn’t get much more modern than that. —Harrison Berry 24 | JUNE 7–13, 2017 | BOISEweekly
Why and how downtown bookstore Rediscovered Books is getting into the publishing business HARRISON BERRY Rediscovered Books nearly doubled in size after an expansion in 2015, which allowed the downtown Boise shop to host literary events and book release parties with ease. It has paid off: This week, the bookstore is hosting a special release party to celebrate a new local book and announce a foray into the world of publishing, as well. “We’re looking at publishing two to three hyperlocal history books a year for kids, teens or adults,” said Laura Delaney, co-owner of Rediscovered. The release party for Half the World: Refugees Transform the City of Trees is at Rediscovered on Thursday, June 8. A panel of authors, contributors, and book editor and former Boise State University Professor Todd Shallat will discuss issues brought up in the book, answer questions and sign copies. The Delaneys and others at the store said though Half the World is a history text, it touches on contemporary issues near and dear to Boiseans. The collection of Boise refugee narratives will be a test run for the freshly minted imprint of Rediscovered Publishing. Rediscovered Books has fronted the printing fees for the title, and its success or failure will be a lodestone as the store prepares to take on full publishing responsibilities for future books, which will include fielding pitches, editing, fact-checking, design, marketing and distribution. Profits from the distribution of Half the World will go toward funding future Rediscovered Publishing titles, though Delaney and her husband Bruce didn’t tip what the first fully in-house published title will be or when it will be released. Half the World—the eighth entry in the Boise State Investigate Boise Community Research Series—will be the last entry edited by Shallat, who said Amanda Ashley, assistant professor of the Department of Community and Regional Planning, will take the helm going forward. According to a Boise State Public Policy Survey published in January, the City of Trees is the friendliest region of Idaho for refugees: 63.8 percent of residents favoring resettlement in the Boise area. When The New York Times crunched the numbers in 2016, more Syrian refugees had relocated to Boise than New York and Los Angeles combined.
Rediscovered Books—a longtime downtown Boise destination for bibliophiles—plans to publish two to three “hyperlocal history books” each year for audiences ranging from kids to adults.
Refugees became a hot topic in Idaho in 2015, when a ballot initiative appeared in Twin Falls County that would have banned refugee centers there—notably the College of Southern Idaho Refugee Center—as the still-raging Syrian civil war displaced millions from their homes. The ballot measure failed, but Half the World is a testament to local interest in the issue (see Page 6). It’s also the kind of book the Delaneys said flies off the shelves at their store. They said Rediscovered Publishing will fill a gap in demand for quality local publications left by large and medium-sized publishers. Books on local history have landed among the top-10 bestselling titles at the store for the last five years. Surviving Minidoka: The Legacy of WWII Japanese-American Incarceration by Shallat and Russell M. Tremayne, which accompanied the October 2016 Boise Art Museum exhibition Minidoka: Artist as Witness, was a top seller last year. Other local titles that have cracked the top-10 sellers list at the store have included the short story collection Naked Me by Christian Winn,150 Boise Icons to Celebrate the City’s Sesquicentennial by Anna Webb and Stanley F. Steiner’s P Is For Potato: An Idaho Alphabet. Boise author Anthony Doerr’s Pulitzer Prize-winning All the Light We Cannot See appeared on the top-10 bestseller lists at Rediscovered Books in 2014 and 2015. Driving demand are two kinds of customers, according to Bruce: travelers buying souvenirs and locals curious about what’s in their backyards. A handful of organizations, like TAG Historical Research, which has published titles like Legendary Locals of Boise and South Boise
Scrapbook: A Neighborhood History; the Boise City Department of Arts and History and the Images of America series by Arcadia Publishing, have dipped their toes into the local history market. The Delaneys said they can do the same without stepping on too many of them. “For every book that’s being done, there’s 10 books that aren’t,” said Bruce. “If we’re going to do this, we should look at doing that hyperlocal history. That was the genesis of what we’re doing.” Rediscovered Books is following in the footsteps of other small bookstores that have diversified into publishing. City Lights Booksellers & Publishers in San Francisco is perhaps the most famous. It was the first all-paperback bookstore in the country when it was opened by poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Peter Martin in 1953, and began publishing its Pocket Poets series in 1955. One of the Delaneys’ primary models is Biblioasis in Windsor, Ontario. Opened in 1998, it began publishing collections of poetry in 2004 and has since established an impressive stable of award-winning authors. It also expanded its enterprise to include novels, short story collections and more. In 2015, two Biblioasis titles—Arvida by Samuel Archibald and Martin John by Anakana Schofield—were nominated for Scotiabank Giller prizes. The Delaneys would like to recreate the success of Biblioasis but, for now, they’re limiting publishing to history and other non-fiction topics. “Every store does something different,” Bruce said. “We see what people come in every day and ask us for. … We can say people came in asking for this sort of thing.” BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Fales hopes BAM visitors take a moment to appreciate how art and the way we consider it evolves over time, and how one man’s dedication to the work of his contemporaries can help preserve an entire movement. “You really only get to see these [works] in the art history books these days,” Fales said. “So it’s pretty exciting to have them here in Boise.

New film about British icon Winston Churchill looks at the man, not the legend GEORGE PRENTICE Churchill, a new biopic of one of the greatest 20th century leaders, is a good film. It’s a cigar length away from greatness, but it’s still better than most of the movies out this year. Churchill features a towering performance from Brian Cox (Deadwood, Super Troopers, Rise of the Planet of the Apes) in the title role, and three jolly good turns from John Slattery as U.S. General Dwight Eisenhower, James Purefoy as King George VI and Miranda Richardson as Clementine, Churchill’s iron-willed wife. A word of caution: Churchill is not an epic chronicling the statesman’s life, sweeping across time from battlefields to the ballot box. Instead, author/historian/screenwriter Alex von Tunzelmann wrote a nuanced screenplay dialing down much of Churchill’s bombast and portraying him as a man struggling to muster courage while wrestling with his own failings. In the hands of director Jonathan Teplitzky, who helmed the underappreciated The Railway Man, Churchill may be the perfect film for our times. With the current state of affairs in the world being tested by the winds of war, Churchill is a reminder that saber-rattling is a fool’s errand and war is not a place for amateurs. The film is a

snapshot of three days in June 1944, when Allied forces were mulling something called Operation Overlord—the world would soon know the operation, on the sixth hour of the sixth day of the sixth month, as D-Day. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill is against the plan. Repeatedly pleading with Allied Commander Eisenhower and British Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, Churchill balks at the massive attack on the French seaside, fearing a repeat of his own Gallipoli Campaign in 1915, when Churchill—then the British first lord of the Admiralty—landed troops in Turkey in one of history’s bloodiest conflicts. Eisenhower, whose repeated debates with Churchill over the D-Day invasion become increasingly heated, explains if the invasion doesn’t go as planned, the Allied effort might fail entirely. “If we don’t win this, I don’t know what kind
of world we’ll be left with,” Eisenhower tells Churchill. It’s not enough for the British leader, still obsessing over his previous loss in Gallipoli. “I send men to die. Hundreds, no thousands of them. Their blood soaks my hands,” says Churchill. Meanwhile, sitting quietly nearby, a woman can no longer hold her silence. “I thought you were the bravest man in England,” she tells Churchill, tears streaming down her face. “My fiancee is on one of those ships for Operation Overlord. I don’t want to hear that he’ll be dead, and I don’t want to hear it from you.” What follows is in the history books. Churchill, the movie, isn’t about the D-Day invasion. It’s about one man’s courage and conviction. That should be enough for now.

An entire subgenre of American pop culture specializes in the military spoof; and, from Joseph Heller’s iconic Catch 22, to Stripes, 1941, Dr. Strangelove and Hot Shots, the battlefield is littered with comedies (good, bad and biting) mining the tragedy of war and, often, the ineptitude of those who wage it. Now comes War Machine (Netflix, May 26), starring Brad Pitt as Gen. Glen McMahon, a fictionalized version of four-star Gen. Stanley McChrystal—the former commander
of international forces in Afghanistan. McChrystal, who enjoyed an otherwise illustrious military career, resigned in 2010 following a scandalous expose published in Rolling Stone revealing widespread disdain for then-President Barack Obama and other officials in the administration. The picture painted in the piece, by freelance journalist Michael Hastings, was of a hubristic warfighter surrounded by officers more loyal to their boss than civilian leadership. War Machine, written and directed by David Michod, was based on Hastings’ book The Operators, and
tees off in the months preceding the magazine profile as a reporter Sean Cullen (a fictional Hastings played by Scoot McNairy) bears witness to the off-kilter general and his staff. “Off-kilter” would be a good way to describe the movie as a whole. It’s more goofy than incisive, relying too much on Pitt’s physical performance, which combines Jeffrey Goines in 12 Monkeys with Lt. Aldo “The Apache” Raine from Inglourious Basterds. While the tragicomedic theme is well taken, it never rises to the level of sophistication necessary for satire. The exception is Sir Ben
Kingsley, whose portrayal of former Afghan President Hamid Karzai is a spot-on send up of the crafty leader, whose half-assed power position gets closest to striking at the dark heart of the Afghan mess. “You have my approval, general,” Karzai tells McMahon when asked for permission to conduct an operation. “We both know it was never really mine to give, but… I thank you for inviting me to participate in the ‘theater’ of it all.” Too bad the rest of War Machine couldn’t have been as theatrical. —Zach Hagadone BOISE WEEKLY.COM

CITIZEN DERRICK DAVIS
You are only the third African-American actor to wear the mask of the Phantom. You must embrace that piece of history. It’s a weighty responsibility and a huge honor. I’m just so grateful to the company and creative team for being as open-minded as they are in so many respects, but specifically for allowing somebody of color to take this role, based solely on their ability to tell the story. I’m thinking of the young boys and girls of all colors who come to your show, see you center stage and then get a chance to meet you backstage or ask for an autograph. BOISE WEEKLY.COM
PHY
Can I assume your professional roads have led you to the Phantom, probably the greatest musical theater role for an actor? I studied music in high school straight through college. I started in opera but began auditioning for musical theater, my first love. I did regional productions and was eventually cast as Mufasa in The Lion King on tour, in Las Vegas and eventually on Broadway. That ultimately led me to this role.
MUR
Derrick Davis remembers the first musical he saw when he was a young boy living in New York City. It was the newly opened Broadway smash The Phantom of the Opera, and Davis knew in an instant what he wanted to do with the rest of his life. He started singing in a church choir, studied opera at Long Island University and began auditioning for professional productions. Davis has since performed on stages across the U.S., and opera, concerts, television and film performances are all on his resume. From 2012 through 2016, he performed in The Lion King, both on Broadway and in the touring production, and recorded his first album, Life Music (CD Baby, 2015). Currently he’s the man behind the mask in the title role of The Phantom of the Opera, which is touring across North America and will stop at the Morrison Center, Wednesday, June 14 through Sunday, June 25.

GEORGE PRENTICE
M AT
On The Phantom of the Opera, his historical performance and the ‘music of the night’
When I see young people coming to the stage door or connecting with me on social media, it warms my heart because I know what seeing Phantom did for me and my own journey. It’s a privilege to do that for someone else. We were in Atlanta when a mother, an AfricanAmerican woman, brought her son to the stage door. The mother was in hysterics and grabbed her son by the shoulder and said, “Look at him. Look at his face. Now you know, you can do anything.” Moments like that constantly remind me of the responsibility that I have, not only to tell the story but to be an example to generations that will come after me. I must admit that I haven’t seen The Phantom of the Opera since it opened in London in 1986. It’s my understanding your production is “re-imagined.” There’s a lot more realism in this production. The characters are fleshed out in a much more grounded and less mystical way, and in the 30 years since this musical opened, technology has moved forward in great strides— especially the pyrotechnics, lighting and sound design. The new set design is… well, it’s mindblowing. I don’t want to give too much away. Promise me the new production still has a giant chandelier that comes crashing down. I promise you that there’s absolutely a chandelier. Trust me, you’ll get your money’s worth. Can you put us in the moment of the iconic scene as the Phantom sings “Music of the Night?” The Phantom is disfigured, but he’s also a musical savant and architectural genius. In many ways, he operates on sound, almost like a bat, by not relying on the senses of sight, taste or touch. For him, it’s all about what you hear, especially in the dark. In the moment that he sings to his protege, Christine, he’s leading her to experience life by not using the senses we would normally use above ground or in the daylight, but to feel life through sound and, ultimately, the music of the night.
THE FRENCH 75 The canon de 75 modele 1897 was a 75-millimeter piece of artillery invented by the French and employed by France and its allies in World War I and II. The cannon was quick firing, mobile and carried a punch, capable of launching a 12-pound shell at targets more than five miles away. Its use at the First Battle of the Marne in September 1914 cemented its reputation, where it earned the grim nickname “Black Butcher” from soldiers of the Kaiser. About 12 years after its murderous performance at the Marne, legendary publican Harry MacElhone, owner of Lost Generation haunt Harry’s American Bar in Paris, is said to have bestowed the honorific “French 75” on a mixture of gin, simple syrup and lemon juice, shaken and poured into a chilled flute, then topped with champagne. As the writers at ginfoundry.com put it, “The gun was known for its accuracy and speed, and the French 75 is said to have such a kick that it felt like being hit by just such a weapon.” Ginfoundry.com goes further, tracing its origins as far back as Dickens’ England, when gin was king and the author himself was known to serve it mixed with bubbly to his guests. Charles Dickens, the French Army and Harry are enough recommendation for us. We mixed our French 75’s with the reasonably priced $19.95 Boodles London Dry Gin (first distilled in 1845, when Dickens was 33) and Schloss Biebrich sekt sparkling wine ($5.99 at Trader Joe’s and a nod to the Jerries who fell to the Black Butcher at the Marne). BOTTOMS UP There’s a lot of hype around the French 75—the cocktail even makes an appearance in Casablanca—all of it well earned. Objectively, though, it violates all the rules of responsible drinking: mixing wine with liquor, the inclusion of sugar syrup and carbonation, and the only mixer is lemon juice. In a case of “you have to know the rules to properly break them,” the resulting combination is light, lively and only semi-sweet. Plus, it has an added bonus of icy citrus-tinged bubbles, which refresh as the gin warms and relaxs. However—and this is a big one—it’s important to remember the French 75 is named for a weapon capable of hurling 15 rounds per minute, so consider no more than two rounds an hour with its liquid counterpart.

DEAR MINERVA, I love summer parties with my friends. Every time we have a function where we are all supposed to contribute food and drink, one of our friends always does something tacky. It makes me unreasonably angry. He will bring something to the party to share—usually some kind of dessert item we’d eat later. He then consumes the food and drink everyone else brought but inevitably has to leave early, taking dessert with him. It seems like poor manners to me. What does Boise’s Blonde Bombshell say? Sincerely, —Over Him

KUHN RIKON CORN ZIPPER The word “zipper” isn’t usually in such close proximity to “corn” (or any other vegetable). The Kuhn Rikon Corn Zipper, with the corn-on-the-cob design on the handle, is such a great kitchen utensil, we don’t care what it’s called. The Swiss-designed Zipper, made of stainless steel and a durable plastic handle, cleanly and quickly strips cooked kernels from the cob. It sells for about $12 at multiple retailers; but the best deal, $22, includes the zipper and an accompanying pack of 18 heat-resistant corn holders that can be screwed into ears of corn even before putting them in boiling water. The $12-$22, Zipper and holders are all dishwasher safe. kuhnrikonshop.com A rose by any other name is still a rose. The Kuhn Rikon Corn Zipper by any other name is still one of the coolest new gadgets around. Check out the video of the Zipper in action at kuhnrikonshop. com. —George Prentice Taken by instagram user bayleecolton.
DEAR OVER HIM, It is poor form to bring food to share and then take it back if it isn’t consumed while one is at the party, but there may be a good reason for this behavior. Perhaps it was his raising. Maybe he has financial issues and needs the food. Maybe he’s selfish. Etiquette dictates food brought to an event should be left with the host(ess) of the party unless they request people take things home. Sharing is a virtue held in high regard, but often it is something people miss the mark on. While it is bad manners for him to take the food to go, it would be even worse to point out his faux pas at the party. The first and most important tenet of hospitality is making sure your guests feel comfortable. Your friend now has the reputation for being stingy and selfish—I guess that is his just desserts.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): If you chose me as your relationship guide, I’d counsel you and your closest ally to be generous with each other; to look for the best in each other and praise each other’s beauty and strength. If you asked me to help foster your collaborative zeal, I’d encourage you to build a shrine in honor of your bond—an altar that would invoke the blessings of deities, nature spirits, and the ancestors. If you hired me to advise you on how to keep the fires burning and the juices flowing between you two, I’d urge you to never compare your relationship to any other, but rather celebrate the fact that it’s unlike any other in the history of the planet. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The Milky Way Galaxy contains more than 100 billion stars. If they were shared equally, every person on Earth could have dominion over at least 14. I mention this because you’re in a phase when it makes sense for you to claim your 14. Yes, I’m being playful, but I’m also quite serious. According to my analysis of the upcoming weeks, you will benefit from envisaging big, imaginative dreams about the riches that could be available to you in the future. How much money do you want? How much love can you express? How thoroughly at home in the world could you feel? How many warm rains would you like to dance beneath? How much creativ-

ity do you need to keep reinventing your life? Be extravagant as you fantasize. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “When I grow up, I’m not sure what I want to be.” Have you ever heard that thought bouncing around your mind, Gemini? Or how about this one: “Since I can’t decide what I want to be, I’ll just be everything.” If you have been tempted to swear allegiance to either of those perspectives, I suggest it’s time to update your relationship with them. A certain amount of ambivalence about commitment and receptivity to myriad possibilities will always be appropriate for you, but if you hope to fully claim your birthright, if you long to ripen into your authentic self, you’ll have to become definitive and specific about what you want to be and do. CANCER (June 21-July 22): As a Cancerian myself, I’ve had days when I’ve stayed in bed from morning to nightfall, confessing my fears to my imaginary friends and eating an entire cheesecake. As an astrologer, I’ve noticed that these blue patches seem more likely to occur during the weeks before my birthday each year. If you go through a similar blip any time soon, here’s what I recommend: Don’t feel guilty about it. Don’t resist it. Instead, embrace it fully. If you feel lazy and depressed, get really lazy and depressed. Literally
hide under the covers with your headphones on and feel sorry for yourself for as many hours as it takes to exhaust the gloom and emerge renewed. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In the early days of the internet, “sticky” was a term applied to websites that were good at drawing readers back again and again. To possess this quality, a content provider had to have a knack for offering text and images that web surfers felt an instinctive yearning to bond with. I’m reanimating this term so I can use it to describe you. Even if you don’t have a website, you now have a soulful adhesiveness that arouses people’s urge to merge. Be discerning how you use this stuff. You may be stickier than you realize. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Ancient Mayans used chili, magnolia and vanilla to prepare exotic chocolate drinks from cacao beans. The beverage was sacred and prestigious to them. It was a centerpiece of cultural identity and an accessory in religious rituals. In some locales, people were rewarded for producing delectable chocolate with just the right kind and amount of froth. I suspect, Virgo, that you will soon be asked to do the equivalent of demonstrating your personal power by whipping up the best possible chocolate froth and, according to my read-
ing of the astrological omens, the chances are good you’ll succeed. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Do you have your visa for the wild side? Have you packed your bag of tricks? I hope you’ll bring gifts to dispense, just in case you’ll need to procure favors in the outlying areas where the rules are a bit loose. It might also be a good idea to take along a skeleton key and a snakebite kit. You won’t necessarily need them, but I suspect you’ll be offered magic cookies and secret shortcuts, and it would be a shame to have to turn them down simply because you’re unprepared for the unexpected. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’re like a prince or princess who has been turned into a frog by the spell of a fairy tale villain. This situation has gone on for a while. In the early going, you retained a vivid awareness that you had been transformed, but the memory of your origins has faded, and you’re no longer working so diligently to find a way to change back into your royal form. Frankly, I’m concerned. This horoscope is meant to remind you of your mission. Don’t give up. Don’t lose hope. And take extra good care of your frog-self, please. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): People might have ideas about you that are at odds with how you understand yourself. For example,
someone might imagine that you have been talking trash about them—even though you haven’t been. Someone else may describe a memory they have about you, and you know it’s a distorted version of what actually happened. Don’t be surprised if you hear even more outlandish tales, too, like how you’re stalking Taylor Swift or conspiring with the One World Government to force all citizens to eat kale every day. I’m here to advise you to firmly reject all of these skewed projections. For the immediate future, it’s crucial to stand up for your right to define yourself—to be the final authority on what’s true about you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “God doesn’t play dice with the universe,” said Albert Einstein. In response, another Nobel Prizewinning physicist, Niels Bohr, said to Einstein, “Stop giving instructions to God.” I urge you to be more like Bohr than Einstein in the coming weeks, Capricorn. As much as possible, avoid giving instructions to anyone, including God, and resist the temptation to offer advice. In fact, I recommend you abstain from passing judgment, demanding perfection, and trying to compel the world to adapt itself to your definitions. Instead, love and accept everything and everyone exactly as they are right now.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Lysistrata is a satire by Aristophanes. It takes place during the war between Athens and Sparta. The heroine convinces a contingent of women to withhold sexual privileges from the soldiers until they stop fighting. “I will wear my most seductive dresses to inflame my husband’s ardor,” says one. “But I will never yield to his desires. I won’t raise my legs towards the ceiling. I will not take up the position of the Lioness on a Cheese Grater.” Regardless of your gender, Aquarius, your next assignment is twofold: 1. Don’t be like the women in the play. Give your favors with discerning generosity. 2. Experiment with colorful approaches to pleasure like the Lioness with a Cheese Grater, the Butterfly Riding the Lizard, the Fox Romancing the River, and any others you can dream up. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Take your seasick pills. The waves will sometimes be higher than your boat. Although I don’t think you’ll capsize, the ride may be wobbly, and unless you have waterproof clothes, it’s best to just get naked. You will get drenched. By the way, don’t even fantasize about heading back to shore prematurely. You have good reasons to be sailing through the rough waters. There’s a special “fish” out there you need to catch. If you snag it, it will feed you for months—maybe longer.
