FOR ALL YOUR CONVERSATION NEEDSThere is much grist for discussion in this week’s Boise Weekly. First, on Page 6, we feature a guest column from Rich Evans

on the controversial practice of “faith healing.” Evans is Boston-based manager of the Christian Science Committee on Publica-tion for the Christian Scientist Church.

So-called “faith” healing has been much in the news this spring, with debate at the Statehouse over whether to remove exemptions to child neglect laws in Idaho state statute for parents who opt for religious-based medical treatment for their children rather than traditional health care options.

We have examined the arguments for removing faith healing protections (“Idaho’s ‘Faith’ Healing Dilemma,” Features, March 15, 2016), now Evans offers another perspective--that the practice has helped more than it has hurt, and laws protecting its continuation are appropriate.

On Page 7, we take a spin through the recently released search-able database of the Panama Papers—the historic leak of 11.5 million documents detailing offshore financial dealings going back almost 40 years. What we found were a handful of Idaho addresses, including one belonging to a Meridian man who, like so many others, had no idea his investments had ended up tangled in the same complex snarl of shell companies, trusts and offshore havens as celebrities, politicians and even criminals.

On Page 8, BW Staff Writer Harrison Berry investigates op-position to raising the minimum wage and how—at least in some cases—the rhetoric doesn’t match the reality that many companies and business owners don’t see a wage hike as a job killer.

On a lighter note, BW film guru George Prentice gives his take on two films due to hit the Flicks, BW Associate Publisher Amy Atkins shares two of her favorite British detective shows currently streaming, and Berry takes the advice of two top Boise chefs and visits a pair of downtown destination restaurants to put their roast beef sandwiches to the test.

From faith healing to film and food, don’t say we didn’t give you anything to argue about on Facebook. That’s why we’re here.

To whosever is boss of that so-called paper what I call Boozy Weakling, this is for that sniveling dogbutt-snorkeler Bill Cope, who is the moroni-est lying libtard that ever got some idiotical “newspaper’ to put his traitor words out where stupid “sheeple” can read them,

Your times running out, Cope. This is the beginning of the end for femmy pukes like you, you stinking Markist, Mao-sucking sissy! I told you Donald Trump was going to be president, and now he is, now that he smunched out all of those establishedment candidates. And it’s noth-ing but bad news for you and your kind, which has been turning the Uniter States of America into such a craphole of illegal Muslims and rap-ing Mexicans and trendsgendlered toilet phonies! You are going to find out what it feels like to be not listened to like what has been happening to us real Americians!

It’s like what I told my wife last night. She thinks its alright for women to want there to be a woman president just like it is for us patriots to want a man for president, as long as he’s white. She was sounding a lot like you, you lezzy-lipped hippy afterbirth of a steaming pile, because she was all yappy-yappy about how Donald was say-ing old crooked Hillary was playing the “woman’s card.” Belinda gos, “If saying your’e a woman whos’ cares about what other womans care about is playing a woman card, then deal me in!”

So I say, “Belinda, you don’t know any more about playing cards than that Hillary, what I call “Hill-0-Reeks” Clintan knows about how to be a Camander-in-Cheif! It’s like what Kenny Rogers says about cards, “You got a know when to hold ‘em, and you got a know when...

Gotta cut you off, Dick. The last thing I need right now is another load of your bullshit. I’d rather finish this up with a friend, so I bid you good-bye. And a word to the wise concerning your Belinda: The evidence to how wrong you are is right there under your nose. Better start paying more attention or you’re going to lose more than the election.

•••Hi-de-hi, Willy Billy buddy. This is me.

Anonymous from the Cope’s-Latest-Column Discussion Group and I am so mad right now I feel like stomping my foot. It’s that darn Dottie again. I don’t know why I let her get to me like I do, but it hurts my feelings so awful because I think she does it on purpose. It’s like last night when we were having our latest meeting of the Cope’s-Latest Column Discussion Group? Well, we’re a little behind like about three weeks behind since I thought it was a decent thing to do to call off our meetings while Mr. Hamperstein was in the hospital getting better from his heart attack,

because since his wife passed away two years ago, I know how much he enjoys coming to them and discussing things, except for Dottie. If he’d had that heart attack during one of our meetings, I would be sure it was because of how mad she makes him. But no, he had it while he was mow-ing his lawn which he’s really too old to do, but he’s stubborn and doesn’t like it when anyone tells him he’s too old to do anything.

So anyway, he’s a lot better now, and so we had our first meeting last night since he’s been able to drive again, and we were discussing that column where you’re telling your mushy-mouthed friend Red how that Donald Trump is really a bully and a coward and isn’t tough at all except for how he talks, and Dottie started blabbing on about how great things will be once that he gets into the President’s office and gets rid of all the good stuff President Obama has done. You know, like the Obamacare and stuff. Well, I was getting pretty darn peeved, let me tell you, because she just rattled on and on, and Mr. Hamperstein was getting redder and redder in the face and he crumbled up the cookie he was holding because his fist got so tight, and nobody else could say anything so I just decided to butt in. And I said, even though it absolutely has me waking up at night all shivery from thinking about how maybe she’s right and that awful man is going to be the next president God Forbid, I said “Dottie, what makes you so sure Donald Trump is going to win?”

And you know what she said? She looked me square in the eye like she was talking about me instead of to me, and she said, “Because only stu-pid losers would ever vote for that Hillary witch.” And that’s Mr. Hamperstein stood up and...

Excuse me, Anon, but I’m going to have to cut you off, too. I’m running out of space here.

I want to thank you for all your support over the years. And listen, dear, we may not get a chance to talk again for quite some time, so I want to get this said: Don’t let yourself get all shivery thinking about Donald Trump becoming president. I don’t see it happening. Four out of every five Hispanic people think he’s a prick... forgive my language... nine out over every 10 black people think he’s a prick and 70 percent of women think he’s a prick. Educated people of every color and creed think he’s a prick, and even a good number of Republicans think he’s a prick. There just aren’t enough ignorant, aging, disgruntled white guys to pull it off. I think we’re OK.

One last thing, my friend. You might want to think about starting a new readers group... club... whatever you want to call it. Your Cope’s-Latest-Column Discussion Group is about to... shall we say... run short of anything to discuss.

ASK BILL ABOUT ITCleaning out my in-box

BILL COPE

OPINION


Several years ago a Boise woman described what her religious faith meant to her when her husband died in an accident: “It was my anchor of hope during a time of despair.”

I’m sure people of different faiths will under-stand what she meant. The woman, a Christian Scientist, was writing of her experience in a church publication, The Christian Science Sentinel, in 1994. The accident had taken place four de-cades earlier and left her with two young children to raise. “I don’t know how I could have made it if I hadn’t had Christian Science,” her account states. Her faith and church “gave stability to my life and a firm foundation on which to build.”

As a Christian Scientist, I’ve thought a lot about what this religious faith and church has meant in my own life and family and in quite a few other families I know. For many years Chris-tian Scientists have been known for their practice of prayer and spiritual healing. It’s been part of our way of life and a practice that we’ve tried to approach responsibly and conscientiously. (My own healing of malaria, while I was in the Peace Corps in my 20s—a healing confirmed by physi-cians—was a landmark in my experience.)

Naturally, then, I’ve followed with great inter-est the current discussion of a longstanding provi-sion in Idaho law relating to the practice of reli-gious healing. Some have called for the repeal of this provision because they feel it leaves children insufficiently protected from neglect in parental decision making. While others may demur on this position, the Christian Science Church does not oppose repeal. We share the deep concern of all people of goodwill for the care and well being of children—society’s “most precious asset,” as one of our church members in Boise recently put it. We recognize that laws such as this may need to be re-thought and re-balanced in response to changing circumstances and conditions.

We also feel it is important, in considering this change, to understand the true purpose and basis of the original provision, which was never to shield or permit neglect of children or to relieve parents of the responsibility for their care.

The Idaho provision was one in a long tradi-tion of American laws that have recognized our country’s religious and cultural diversity. At the time it passed in 1972, there were similar religious accommodations in many other states. The purpose was not to enable irresponsible behavior, but to provide a measure of toleration for differing viewpoints and responsible religious practice in a highly pluralistic society. State legis-latures and courts generally made clear that when evidence of neglect or maltreatment appeared, government intervention was permissible.

This kind of religious accommodation did not come about because of undue influence of the federal government. One tale making the rounds is that two former Nixon administration officials —H.R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman, who happened to be Christian Scientists—were responsible for putting a provision relating to reli-gious healing in the federal law through the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) of 1974, and that Idaho and other states were then forced to adopt this language.

By the time the legislation came under consideration in 1973, both officials had already resigned under the dark clouds of Watergate. They had long been highly unpopular with the Democratic majority in Congress, so if anything, the religious accommodation in CAPTA came about in spite of them, not because of them. In most states, as in Idaho, accommodations for religious healing predated the CAPTA law.

The real background behind these accommo-dations isn’t in political machinations, but in the lives of ordinary, law-abiding people in Idaho and elsewhere who have experienced healing in raising their families over many decades.

The mother from Sandpoint, for instance, who wrote in The Christian Science Journal in 1929 of her son’s healing of tuberculosis and other troubles when doctors had given him only two days to live. Or the Idaho Falls mother who wrote in The Sentinel in 1954 of her son’s healing after a motorcycle accident, and who had been healed herself as an 11-year-old of mastoiditis. The list could go on up to the present day.

As a parent and now a grandparent, I have had the privilege of witnessing several genera-tions of spiritual healing in my family through the practice of Christian Science. We have always found it best to let God’s love lead in this practice. When healing was not reasonably forthcoming for our children, we’ve followed the course that seemed most loving and reasonable at the time. One of our daughters was healed through prayer in Christian Science of a broken ankle from a soccer collision some years after an earlier break in one of her ankles had been set by a surgeon following a different sports injury.

At the heart of this practice is the Judeo-Christian ethic of the Golden Rule—treating others as we would want to be treated. When this is missing, Christian Science is not being practiced. Perhaps many physicians might feel similarly about their relations with their patients.

Whatever the Idaho Legislature decides in regard to the law, this ethic is worth remember-ing, and this perspective on the deepest spiritual sources of healing life deserves to be heard.

PANAMANIAN PROFILESNew disclosures in the

Panama Papers show Idaho connectionsZACH HAGADONE

It has been a month since a worldwide partner-ship of newspapers and media organizations went public with the leak of 11.5 million documents detailing the offshore dealings of more than 200,000 business entities. The Panama Papers—so called because the leaked documents came from Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca—were first published April 3 and filled with the names of financial elites, celebrities and world leaders as well as international criminals.

While offshore entities are legal, they are often used to funnel money through tax-free channels, keep wealth secret or elude regulators.

Beyond the big name disclosures are also tens of thousands of regular people whose investments or trusts were knowingly or unknowingly being held by firms that sometimes did business with suspected drug dealers, gun runners and terrorists.

On May 9, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists made public a searchable database of the leak, which has meant the rich, famous and tax averse are now outed alongside modest investors, small businesses and, occasion-ally, those duped by dubious schemes.

Relative to others in the data, Americans rarely crop up—in large part because the United States is ranked as the third biggest tax haven on the planet, according to The Guardian, which was one of the news outlets involved in reporting the Panama Papers. By comparison, The Guardian ranked Panama 13th among locations where it is easiest to hide money.

Still, a search of the data returned nine listings with Idaho addresses, spanning the state from Post Falls to Ketchum, Sun Valley, Twin Falls, Meridian and Eagle.

Notably, a number of Idaho shareholders were listed under Accelonic Ltd., an offshore company with more than 1,000 officers around the world. Unbeknownst to many of the shareholders, Ac-celonic (inactive since May 2014) was directed by Slobodan Andjic, a crony of late-Serbian dictator Slobodan Milosevic. When Accelonic acquired Canada-based Blue Earth Refineries—a cobalt mining firm working in Uganda—it acquired many of its unwitting stockholders.

As first reported by The Seattle Times, hundreds of Washington state residents were tied up with Accelonic and Blue Earth, often through a series of corporate maneuvers so complex, they lost

track of where they money was being held.“I had no idea,” 78-year-old Seattle resident

Vernon Jenkins told the Times. “I think it became a scam after my initial investment.”

Washingtonians weren’t the only ones invested in Accelonic. According to the database, eight Idaho individuals were stakeholders in the com-pany, including Murray Stookey, of Meridian.

Like many Accelonic investors in Washington, Stookey was originally an investor in Blue Earth.

“I still have the stock certificates,” he said.That doesn’t mean Stookey ever saw much re-

turn on his investment, which was placed through a broker in Seattle.

“Some of that stuff I try to forget,” he said. “I don’t remember the Uganda part of it. I know the Canadian firm—Blue Earth—became worth a couple of pennies and then it disappeared.”

This isn’t the first time Stookey has wrangled with the murky shell game of offshore invest-ments. In 2012, Stookey sued a pair of business owners with whom he’d invested for fraud after they breached their contracts.

“One of the fellows involved lent some money to some scoundrels offshore,” he said.

Stookey received a judgement of more than $1 million, but the judgement was negated in bank-ruptcy court. He said he later secured a promise from one of the parties to pay $50,000, but still hasn’t seen a dime.

“He’s already had time enough to get all his assets hidden,” Stookey said. “That’s just the way they operate.”

Aside from a handful of other listings—in-cluding a small Eagle-based producer of chemicals that prolong the storage life of potatoes—the highest profile Idaho listing in the Panama Papers data released May 9 was related to Cole Sirucek.

With an address given in Twin Falls, Sirucek and his wife, Grace Park, were named as share-holders of Uluwatu Holdings Ltd., registered in the British Virgin Islands and whose intermediary is shown as Mossack Fonseca in Thailand.

A graduate of Twin Falls High School, Univer-sity of Idaho, Harvard and MIT, Sirucek became a successful investor and entrepreneur, founding Epic MMA Club, which is billed as Asia’s biggest mixed martial arts training center. He has spent more than a decade working in technology, media and entertainment, and in 2013 presented a TEDx lecture in Hong Kong on the subject of MMA: “More Than a Blood Sport.”

Based in Singapore—ranked as the fourth most active tax haven by The Guardian—Sirucek and Park also founded DocDoc, a web-based company that helps residents in nine Asian coun-tries connect with more than 40,000 doctors in order to ensure quality care.

In late April, DocDoc secured $8.6 million in funding to expand its business. Meanwhile, Doc-Doc appears three times in the recent Panama Pa-pers disclosures: once as DocDoc Enterprises Inc. (with shareholders Grace Park, Uluwatu Holdings and DocDoc Pte. Ltd., and Mossack Fonseca as intermediary) and once more as DocDoc Holding Limited (with a range of shareholders representing medical and investment interests).

Asked to provide context for his companies’ appearances in the files, Sirucek did not respond before press time.

Speaking to Boise Weekly following the first reports on the Panama Papers in April, University of Idaho law professor John Miller said while there may be “nothing nefarious about this in and of itself,” the practice of shuttling money through offshore means raises questions.

“First, where did the money being held in these entities come from?” Miller asked. “Second, why was the money held in these entities and hidden from view?”

The sources of offshore cash may be legitimate profits from businesses, inheritance or gifts. In such cases, going offshore is intended for asset protection, which is legal.

“However, U.S. individuals are taxable on their worldwide income,” Miller said.

TWO STUDIES, TWO PROPOSALS TO RAISE AREA DAMS

As rising temperatures in the Trea-sure Valley trigger greater attention to the region’s water supplies for irrigation, recreation and sustenance, two provocative presentations that surfaced this week con-sider raising Arrowrock and Anderson Ranch dams, which would dramatically impact the water supply.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers pre-sented its findings from a recent study that offers as one of its alternatives raising the height of Arrowrock Dam by as much as 70 feet. The immense project would reportedly create an additional 32,000 acre-feet of water storage capacity in the Boise River reservoir system. The study was a joint proj-ect between the Corps and the Idaho Water Resource Board.

Concurrently, staff from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation stood before the Idaho Water Resource Board this week saying the agency intends to launch its own study on the possi-bility of raising the Anderson Ranch Dam on the South Fork of the Boise River to provide more water supply for the Treasure Valley and areas as far away as Elmore County.

The studies come in the wake of news from the Water Resource Board in April that suggests if population growth and climate change trends hold, there will be a startling demand for water—as much as a 357 per-cent increase—in the next 50 years.

The study, conducted for the Water Resource Board by Boise-based SPF Water Engineering, led to a robust conversation about water conservation—or lack thereof—in Idaho. In particular, Boise Weekly learned that a number of Treasure Valley water providers, including Kuna and Star, were not metering some of their customers.

“That said, I think we’ll have a good water year in southwest Idaho this summer,” said Brian Patton, board chief of the Idaho Department of Water Resources.

“But keep in mind, that’s just for this year,” he added.

This would be a big dam change.

MINIMUM RAGE

The fight over Idaho’s minimum wage takes a turn

HARRISON BERRY

During a conference call with state chambers of commerce and business owners, Luntz Global Managing Director David Merritt rattled off re-sults from a survey conducted by the conservative polling firm in late 2015: A significant major-ity—80 percent—of business owners, presidents, CEOs and other decision makers supported states raising their minimum wages, as well as a host of other issues affecting the workforce.

“So what do these results all have in com-mon? Well, quite frankly, they are all empathetic,” Merritt said. “So what we’ll try and do is actually give you a few helpful hints on how to actually combat these in your states.”

Audio from the conference call and the poll were leaked to the Center for Media and De-mocracy’s PR Watch project and quickly gained national attention—not only was the rhetoric that minimum wage increases would kill jobs not shared by many business owners, but groups like Luntz Global were seen to be actively trying to undermine that reality.

Closer to home, issues pertaining to Idaho’s minimum wage, which is currently pegged at the federal minimum of $7.25, have been hot topics at the Idaho Legislature. According to Idaho Rep. Mat Erpelding (D-Boise), co-author of a bill to raise the Gem State’s minimum wage, the battle lines have been drawn between cities and unions that would like to see wages raised, and chambers of commerce calling such initiatives job-killers. For him, a minimum wage increase is inevitable.

“[Opponents are] just buying themselves as much time as possible before they pull the trigger on it,” he said.

In 2014, the living wage for a single adult in Idaho was $14.57 and 53 percent of job open-ings in the Gem State don’t pay a living wage, according to a 2015 report by Alliance for a Just Society. In 2015, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 5.8 percent of women and 4.4 percent of men in Idaho work minimum-wage jobs. Many, including Erpelding, have said minimum wages were never meant to be living wages, but an Idaho adult would have to work 80 hours per week to make ends meet in the Gem State. Meanwhile, according to a 2016 Pew poll, the buying power of the federal minimum wage peaked in 1968 and, since its most recent increase in 2009, has lost 8.1 percent of its buying power to inflation.

Erpelding’s bill stalled in the House Ways

and Means Committee. It would have increased Idaho’s minimum wage to $8.25 in 2016, $9.25 in 2017 and afterward peg it to the Consumer Price Index. He said stiff resistance to the bill came from business groups like the Idaho Associa-tion of Commerce and Industry and the Idaho Retailers Association.

After stalling Democrats’ measures to increase the state’s minimum wage, Republicans in the Idaho House pushed through HB 463, which preempts cities from establishing their own increased minimum wages. During public testi-mony on the bill, IACI and IRA, voicing their support for the bill, said cities are creatures of the state according to Idaho law, and local measures to raise minimum wages invited costly lawsuits with the state government.

“This will hopefully prevent a local govern-ment from testing the waters, creating some policy counter to what’s explicitly authorized in the state of Idaho. It’s more of a fundamental question of how we’re set up as a state,” said IACI President Alex LaBeau.

The Luntz Global poll, however, exposes a seeming disconnect between businesses and the associations that represent them before state legislatures. The accompanying conference call and webinar set the talking points surrounding debates about America’s workforce during an elec-tion year when partisan rhetoric would be likely to draw undue attention.

“Partisan rhetoric in an election year might not be as successful: ‘Don’t be on the attack mode. Don’t deny the policy,’” said CMD author Lisa Graves, who originally reported the Luntz leak.

At 80 percent, however, support among business decision makers for states raising their

minimum wages are overwhelming. What shocked Graves was the “receptivity” of Merritt’s audience on the conference call—the overwhelm-ing support of chambers of commerce to the idea that raising minimum wages is a bad call.

“It was interesting that there was not objec-tions or questioning, that this can’t be true or valid. Or, based on this polling, how they should pivot,” Graves said.

Responding to the poll, IRA President Pam Eaton said her organization’s membership is “ada-mant” that free markets be allowed to determine wages and that, according to the same poll, 12 percent of respondents said raising the minimum wage was the economic issue they cared about most, behind creating economic opportunity and reducing the cost of living. Furthermore, she said, raising wages would raise the costs of goods and services, negating the intended effect.

She also pointed out the Luntz poll is more complicated than a single question on raising wages, noting business leaders’ resistance to “checkerboard” local minimum wages that pit cities against each other.

“Most businesses welcome statewide regula-tions over checkerboard regulations and the poll question doesn’t dive into that enough to say that that was or wasn’t why businesses answered the question that way,” Eaton wrote in an email.

LaBeau, also responding to the poll by email, wrote he would not support an increase of Idaho’s minimum wage without a corresponding increase in the federal minimum.

“If the states support it and then there is sound economic analysis for it, Congress would most likely act on it. As it stands, I don’t see that,” he wrote.

USING THE FOOTHILLS AS A PERSONAL DUMP

It’s unsightly, unsanitary and, with fire season ramping up, the problem is a major hazard to land and life. Dumping and vandal-ism in the Boise Foothills is now a full-blown dilemma.

“The most recent dump was about 1,000 cubic yards of tree clippings and mulch right in the middle of ephemeral drainage in the east reserves,” said city of Boise Open Space Senior Manager Sara Arkle. “Yes, it’s something we have always dealt with but, with fire season coming up, we’ve got to start talking more about respectful use of the foothills.”

The most recent dumping triggered neighbor complaints, which resulted in an official investigation by the Boise Police Department.

“It is against city code. It’s a crime, regardless of what is being dumped: debris, waste or hazardous materials,” said Arkle.

Section 6-16-02 of the Boise Munici-pal Code makes it illegal to dump debris, garbage, litter rubbish and refuse on public property—a misdemeanor offense punish-able by a fine of up to $1,000 and/or up to six months in jail.

Unfortunately, dumping has not been the worst of it. Obscene graffiti was discovered on sandstone cliffs near the Jim Hall Foot-hills Learning Center, a regular gathering spot for school children.

Sandstone cliffs throughout the foothills are habitat for wildlife and any carving into the cliffs is also considered a violation of city code. Such vandalism is also punishable by up to six months in jail and/or a fine of up to $1,000.

While city crews and volunteers are doing their best to remove the graffiti, the city needed to bring in a backhoe this week to begin removing debris.

“Ultimately, this is all about respect,” said Arkle.

—George Prentice

According to a poll leaked to the Center for Media and Democracy this spring, 80 percent of business owners support an increase in state minimum wages.

Dumping yard waste in the foothills is a no-no.

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

BELLATOR 155 MMA EVENTOnce upon a time in America, boxing was dubbed the “sweet

KAREN WOODS: THE WAY TO WILDERWilder is far from the ever-growing skyline of Boise and the

strip malls of Meridian. The sleepy town of around 1,500 has a Mexican restaurant, a cemetery, a couple of schools and a Jack-sons Food Store, but it’s the habit of artists to be more observant and sensitive to the realities of their environment. The Way to Wilder, a new exhibit by local artist Karen Woods, shows her as a champion of small places. In her paintings, Woods puts viewers in the passenger’s seat during a drive to Wilder during a rainstorm, offering a vision of small-town life blurred by the tempest. Though delicate in nature, Woods’ works leave a viewer begging for clarity that can only be provided by a windshield wiper blade. The exhibit runs through Sunday, Sept. 11.

MEGAFAUNA, MAY 18, TOM GRAINEY’SIn a 2014 interview with the Austin Chronicle, Dani Neff, singer-

guitarist of Austin-based Megafauna, talked about her influences.“Kurt Cobain’s jagged, careless style,” she said. “Jimi Hendrix’s

playing: fiery, unrestrained. I love Radiohead. I don’t know if it’s noticeable, the Radiohead influence, but it’s there.”

You can hear it all in Neff’s relentless riffs and nimble, searing solos, which haven’t gone unnoticed: Austin Chronicle writer Kevin Curtain voted Neff his choice as Austin’s best electric guitarist in 2013, The Phoenix New Times said Megafauna’s sound “revolves around Neff’s manic and blistering guitar” and Guitar World took note of her “mind-melting shredding.”

Megafauna bassist Greg Yancey and drummer Zack Humphrey, have earned kudos, too, with Consequence of Sound praising their ability to “build a thudding, low-end groove ready to shatter your car windows,” so don’t miss this show—but maybe don’t park too close.

Beware of Lady Susan Vernon. Though lovely as an English rose, step too close and her thorns may do some serious damage. Joyously embodied by Kate Beckinsale, the centerpiece of Love & Friendship Lady Susan is drop-dead gorgeous—if only she would drop dead.

Writer/director Whit Stillman (auteur of comedy-of-manners trilogy Metropolitan, Barcelona and The Last Days of Disco) report-edly spent years obsessing over Jane Austen’s unfinished novella Lady Susan. Stillman has produced few film projects of late, but Love & Friendship—as tart and refreshing as an early summer pitcher of lemonade—has been worth the wait. Bundled with art direction by Louise Mathews (BBC America’s Ripper Street) and costumes from Eimer Ni Mhaoldom-hnaigh (Brideshead Revisited), Stillman’s script is the best Austen big screen treatment since 1995’s Sense and Sensibility.

There has been a steady glut of film and television adaptations of Austen’s novels, but so many have of them have been little more than museum pieces. Here, Stillman shows some respect for his source material and reminds us

how comically adept he is—and Austen was.The opening sequence of Love & Friend-

ship strikes a welcome silly tone. Similar to the opening of a cheesy prime time TV soap opera (think Dynasty or Dallas), we’re introduced to the main characters in a series of title cards in which each actor, posing with ridiculous seriousness, is framed by their character’s name and some whimsical identifier, such as “a divinely attractive man,” “his obliging wife” or

“a bit of a rattle” (translation: blithering idiot).

However, it is Lady Susan who pulls all the strings in Love & Friendship. She’s a widow—not the grief-stricken kind—who continues to dine out on her good looks and charm. Her behind-closed-doors behavior follows her, however, forcing Lady Susan to flit from mansion to man-

sion, always overextending her welcome and nearly always whispering something awful under her breath about her gracious hosts.

“Darling, we don’t live. We visit,” Lady Susan tells her daughter Frederica (Morfydd Clark). “We’re entirely at the mercy of our acquaintances.”

When she’s not conducting a torrid affair with a married lord at a nearby estate, Lady Susan is trying to snag a husband for her reluctant daughter (and maybe one for herself, too). Seduction and deception follow, and the whole hot mess could be serialized into a 1790s version of The Real Housewives of Britain.

Beckinsale is teamed once again with Chloe Sevigny. The two were coinciden-tally cast together in 1998’s The Last Days of Disco, another orgy of gossip from Stillman. Unfortunately, Sevigny is miscast in Love & Friendship, and all the costumes and wigs in Britain can’t mask her modernity. Fortunately, this misstep is a small matter in an otherwise entertaining film.

One interesting side note: Stillman was so engrossed in this project, he told The New York Times that to coincide with the release of Love & Friendship, he is releasing his own hard-copy novelization of the same story, includ-ing all 41 letters from Austen’s Lady Susan. Stillman even went as far as telling The Times he thought the original Austen novella “was flawed,” and that he might produce a better story. It’s audacious hubris, tremendous com-mitment or both. Whatever it is, Lady Susan would have been delighted.

Chloe Sevigny (left) and Kate Beckinsale (right) are miscast and pitch-perfect, respectively, in this biting British comedy of manners.

To determine whether you should pay full admis-sion to see The Lobster, take the following quiz:

• If you enjoy the work of filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos (Dogtooth, Alps), give yourself two points.

• If you’re a fan of Colin Farrell, John C. Reilly, Rachel Weisz or Ben Whishaw, give your-self one point for each.

• If you prefer surrealist cinema from the likes of Luis Bunuel, Charlie Kaufman or David Lynch, you get three points.

• If you’ve seen every other critically acclaimed film and have an extra Hamilton burn-ing a hole in your pocket, add one point.

And there you have it. On a scale of zero to 10, your total score should truly drive your decision of whether to order The Lobster or toss it back to the sea.

As for me, The Lobster was rarely delightful, more often obnoxious and always confound-ing. With an original script by Lanthimos and co-author Efthy-mis Filippou, this dark comedy tells the story of a dystopian future in which it is illegal to be single. Anyone not partnered by early adulthood is shipped off to a tacky hotel where they have 45 days to hook up with a romantic partner or be turned into an animal and cast into the wild. The premise was daffy enough to be entertaining but

even after two viewings, for the life of me, I didn’t get it. I understood it, but I just didn’t get it.

The good folks at the Cannes Film Festival loved The Lobster. It received the 2015 Cannes Palme d’Or, the festival’s highest award. I’m not certain, however, if that’s high praise. Cannes has previously handed its top prize to the sublime (Amour, 2012) the pretentious (The Tree of Life, 2011) and the absurd (Dancer in the Dark, 2000).

Unfortunately, the news is also not so good for The Meddler. I screened this film at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival and when I referred to my notes, some rather unpleas-ant memories came rushing back about this disappointing follow-up from Lorene Scafaria, whose writer/director debut was the 2012 rom-com, Seeking a Friend for the End of the World.

In The Meddler, Susan Saran-don plays Marnie Minervini, a

mother from, well, maybe not hell, but close. When her husband passes away, Marnie pulls up her Brook-lyn roots and heads west to invade daughter Lori’s (Rose Byrne) life in Los Angeles. Soon, this meddling mom is combing through Lori’s Internet browser history and telling

Lori’s ex her daughter is still in love with him. While The Meddler evokes a handful of laughs

and a few sobs, Sarandon and Byrne are both fine actresses and deserve better. The Meddler feels way too familiar—and that’s not a compliment.

COPPERS AND CASES: STREAM A BOOTFUL OF BONNIE BRITISH DRAMAS

In British police procedurals, murder scenes are as grisly and murderers are as twisted as in any American-made thriller (think the visceral and visually exquisite Hannibal). British crime dramas often vary, though, in that they eschew car chases and shootouts for long blocks of ex-position or dialogue, allowing for rich character development.

Hulu and Netflix are currently offering some British dramas in which the characters—and, fortunately the storylines—are so engaging, it’s easy to forget they’re fictional. From ITV come two shows with damaged but strong detectives at their core: the long-running, award-winning DCI Banks (2010), which follows headstrong and sometimes eerily farsighted Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks (Stephen Tompkinson) as he deftly navigates solving heinous murders but stumbles through interpersonal relationships.

Tompkinson does a brilliant job of portraying a man who believes everyone counts and gives so much of himself to the job, there’s little left for anyone else. Hulu is currently streaming the first three seasons but get binging now, and you’ll be ready when season four begins airing Friday, June 3 on IPTV.

Also streaming for Hulu subscribers is BBC 2’s award-winning Line of Duty (2012), one of the densest, tensest shows to hit the small screen since HBO’s The Wire—and also one of the most popular. Line of Duty is BBC 2’s most-watched drama in more than 10 years. In this addictive show, Martin Compston plays Detec-tive Sergeant Steve Arnott, a by-the-book officer whose refusal to lie when an innocent man is killed during a raid gets him transferred to AC-12, one of a dozen police anti-corruption units in the West Midlands. Arnott, his partner Detec-tive Constable Kate Fleming (Vicky McClure) and department boss, Superintendent Ted Hastings (Adrian Dunbar), work to nab “bent” cops, but all the lies they hear and all the lies they tell lead them to become suspicious of everyone—even each other. Part of what makes Line of Duty so mesmerizing is how the nar-rative of each season intertwines into a much bigger—and much more depraved—story. The Guardian said it best, calling it “extraordinary, intense, butt-clenchingly gripping television.”

TWO’S A CROWDThe Lobster and The Meddler: No and No

GEORGE PRENTICE


Kris Komori and Moshit Mizrachi-Gabbitas have a couple things in common. Komori, of State and Lemp, and Mizrachi-Gabbitas, of Janjou Patisserie, were nominated earlier this year for prestigious James Beard Awards, the former for Best Chef: Northwest; the latter for Outstanding Baker.

When asked about their favorite Boise restau-rants, they revealed something else they have in common—a shared love for Wild Root Cafe & Market and Bleubird.

Wild Root is a hip newcomer to Eighth Street, specializing in organic, sustainable salads, sand-wiches and brunches. Bleubird is a popular 10th Street lunch spot that specializes in sandwiches, salads and housemade sodas. Another thing they share are stellar roast beef sandwiches. Here’s how they stack up:

WILD ROOTThe Roasted—Coffee-rubbed roast beef, apricot

mustard jam, Taleggio cheese and greens on walnut-raisin bread, $12

The “Roasted” is a sandwich for the ultimate carnivore: a butte of medium-rare, coffee ground-encrusted, sliced top round beef, it triggers parts of the human brain still held in common with great white sharks. Based on its size, predatory megafauna seems to be the sandwich’s intended consumer, but this beauty is more subtle.

“There’s thought in composition,” said Wild Root co-owner Michael Trebbi. That comes through in unexpected tangy greens and almost show-stealing walnut-raisin bread. The apricot mustard jam gives the whole affair a sweet, vinegary quality and the Taleggio cheese is, as

Trebbi put it, “a little funky.”Trebbi owns Wild Root with his wife, Anne-

Marie. His career began near Chicago and he was a corporate chef for more than 20 years before coming to Boise in 2012. His market research showed demand for a downtown eatery geared toward more food-conscious consumers.

“There were few places where you could go for breakfast and lunch that had healthier options,” he said.

Wild Root’s menu is smart and eclectic, and The Roasted is a prime example, but it’s subject to change. Unsatisfied with merely encrusting the beef with coffee grounds, Trebbi will add coffee ex-tract, stressing its flavor. He’ll tinker with dishes to get them exactly right.

“It really is playing with things while they’re on the menu,” he said.

The eatery has garnered praise from acknowledged chefs like Mizrachi-Gabbitas and Komori, but for Trebbi, chefs are ultimately similar to walk-in customers.

“They’ll go if you’re doing it right,” he said.

BLEUBIRDRoast Beef—Roast beef, cambozola cheese,

chimichurri, yellow tomato, pickled shallots, greens, rosemary horseradish cream, roast beef, $9

Sarah Kornfield, co-owner of Bleubird, makes 20 to 25 roast beef sandwiches a day.

“I can make them in my sleep,” she said.That’s about one out of every 10 sandwiches

Bleubird sells. There, the lunchtime line of cus-tomers usually stretches out the door and down the sidewalk. Sandwiches have come and gone

from the menu over the years, but the roast beef is a staple.

“I’ll always have a beef, and it’ll always have bleu cheese,” she said.

Other ingredients, however, are variable. Previ-ous versions have featured smoky and Danish bleu cheeses. Kornfield regularly reinvents it to give customers favorites but tweaking the details.

A Boise native, Kornfield lived for nine years in Vail, Colo., where she met her husband and Bleubird co-owner David “DK” Kelly. While vis-iting Boise, the couple spotted a vacant storefront

and knew they wanted to open a restaurant there.

Originally, Kornfield and Kelly were Bleubird’s only staff and it was open until 7:30 p.m. Today, four employees help sling sandwiches and Bleubird closes up shop at 4 p.m. on weekdays.

“We decided to be open when we’re busy and closed when we’re not,” Kornfield said. “It’s funny because people started asking, ‘When are you go-ing to be open later?’”

The owners have long credited Bleubird’s success in an increasingly crowded marketplace to more than the food. The restaurant’s high ceilings, zinc countertop and park bench, counter and loft seating arrangements give the interior what Kornfield called a “boutique-y, whimsical” feel, and Kelly never forgets a name or a face. The line can be long, it moves lightning fast.

“I want to quote my man here,” Kornfield said, indicating a nearby employee. “He said sometimes he waits longer at the bank.”

SHOPPING FOR CHENINWhile you probably won’t find many ex-

amples of Chenin Blanc at your favorite wine shop, it’s a grape you will find planted in regions around the world. From Washington to South Africa, France to California, Chenin Blanc has found a home. There are Chenin vineyards in Canada and even India. We tried examples from each of those regions, and while the grape is synonymous with Loire, our French entry just missed the cut.

2015 DRY CREEK VINE-YARD CHENIN BLANC, $12

The aromas are like a floral field of clover blossoms mingling with honeyed tropical fruit and mineral. Lean and lively in the mouth, it’s marked by elegant ripe peach and balancing acidity on the finish. Something of a benchmark for California Chenin Blanc, Dry Creek has been producing its version since the early 1970s.

2014 QUAILS’ GATE CHENIN BLANC, $18

The aromas are some-what subdued, offering crisp apple, honeycomb, mineral and slightly salty ocean breeze. The flavors are round and ripe with a lively core of peach play-ing against green apple and lime. The smooth finish lingers nicely. The Stewart family, owner of Quails’ Gate, has been farming its land along the shore of Canada’s Okana-gan Lake since 1956.

2014 VALLEY VINE-YARDS WINE COMPANY, THE ROYAL CHENIN BLANC, $10

Chenin Blanc has a long history in South Africa, dating back several centuries, where it was originally called Steen. This West Cape version’s unctuous stone fruit aro-mas are backed by lime and apple with touches of jalapeno and quinine. A bit of spicy pepper comes through on the otherwise fruit forward palate, where you get refreshingly crisp tropical fruit flavors.

Jewel is in a good place right now, literally and figuratively.

Speaking to Boise Weekly from Monterey, Calif., the singer said she’ll make a few more stops in equally idyllic settings before coming to Boise on Thursday, May 26, where she’ll play to a sold-out audience at the Egyptian Theatre.

Two days later, she’ll give the keynote speech at The Sun Valley Wellness Festival.

“Wellness is giving yourself permission and finding the resources to be an unedited version of yourself,” Jewel said.

She certainly didn’t edit much out of her bestselling biography, Never Broken: Songs Are Only Half the Story (Blue Rider Press, Sept. 2015).

In it, Jewel shares how she was abused as a child, was homeless at 18, lived in her car, re-sorted to shoplifting, became an international recording star, had an affair with Sean Penn, starred in an Ang Lee film, performed for Pope John Paul II and how, at the age of 20, lost all of her money and her mother/manager “was not the person I thought she was.”

You’re one of the few people on the planet known only by one name. When did you make that decision?

It was really a big deal. I had just made my first record, and the record label shipped the artwork to me. But that day, I spent a bit more time surfing and by the time I got out of the water, I missed the deadline.

I noticed that they left my last name off the album, but I didn’t think my first record would be as successful as it was.

I think a lot of your fans may have thought they knew your backstory, including be-ing homeless at such a young age, but your new book has some rather stunning revelations.

I had a very specific goal: to reach out to people who may have had their own difficult life story.

Our pain or tribulation doesn’t have to make us damaged. In fact, it can help us be

more exceptional if we’re willing to let go of the pain and convert that into wisdom.

And is that why you titled your book, Never Broken?

I see a lot of young people struggling, saying they’re broken. That’s not the case. It’s only a perception of being broken. It’s a very dif-ficult fire to walk through, but when you walk through it, you can be more empathetic and gracious.

You’re the keynote at the Sun Valley Well-ness Festival, which leads to the obvious question: what’s wellness to you?

Giving permission and finding the resources to be an unedited version of yourself. Honor-ing all aspects of yourself.

Sometime around 2006, you wrote a very specific lyric for a song called, “Goodbye Alice in Wonderland.” You wrote, “Your love can be used against you.” What were you talking about?

My relationship with my mom was very facilitative, and my need for love ended up be-ing something that created a kind of blindness in me.

Have you heard from your mother since your book was published?

No. I didn’t write this about my mom. I tried to keep it all in my lane. Honestly, I don’t have any hard feelings. I just wanted to share some of the things I overcame.

A few years back, you wrote that most singer/songwriters produced their best work in their 20s and novelists did their best work in their 50s. Do you still feel that way?

I think that’s true generally. That’s why I wanted to avoid that. I’ve really tried to have a career that kept my writing alive. I made choices that weren’t necessarily good for fame or fortune, but good for me as an artist. Why not check back in 20 years from now and see how I stack up?

BOISE WEEKLY

ARIES (March 21-April 19):“An oar moves a boat by entering what lies outside it,” writes poet Jane Hirshfield. You can’t use the paddle inside the boat! It’s of no value to you unless you thrust it into the drink and move it around vigorously. And that’s an excellent metaphor for you to keep in mind during the coming weeks, my friend. If you want to reach your next destination, you must have intimate and continual interaction with the mysterious depths that lie outside your known world.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):The short attention span is now enshrined as the default mode of awareness. “We skim rather than absorb,” says author James Lough. “We read Sappho or Shakespeare the same way we glance over a tweet or a text message, scanning for the gist, impatient to move on.” There’s a problem with that approach, however. “You can’t skim Shakespeare,” says Lough. I propose that we make that your epigram to live by in the coming weeks, Taurus: *You can’t skim Shakespeare.* According to my analysis, you’re going to be offered a rich array of Shakespeare-level information and insights. To get the most out of these blessings, you must penetrate and marinate and ruminate.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):“There are situations in life when

it is wisdom not to be too wise,” said Friedrich Schiller. The coming days may be one of those times for you. I therefore advise you to dodge any tendency you might have to be impressed with your sophisticated intelligence. Be suspicious of ego-tism masquerading as cleverness. You are most likely to make good decisions if you insist on honoring your raw instincts. Simple solutions and uncomplicated actions will give you access to beautiful truths and truthful beauty, especially if you anchor yourself in innocent compassion.

CANCER (June 21-July 22):To prepare you for the coming weeks, I have gathered three quotes from the Bulgarian writer Elias Canetti. These gems, along with my commentary, will serve you well if you use them as seeds for your ongoing meditations. Seed No. 1: “He would like to start from scratch. Where is scratch?” Here’s my addendum: No later than your birthday, you’ll be ready to start from scratch. In the meantime, your task is to find out where scratch is, and clear a path to it. Seed No. 2: “All the things one has forgotten scream for help in dreams.” My addendum: Monitor your dreams closely. They will offer clues about what you need to remember. Seed No. 3: “Relearn astonishment, stop grasping for knowledge, lose the habit of the past.” My addendum: Go in search of the miraculous.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):“There are friendships like circuses, waterfalls, libraries,” said writer Vladimir Nabokov. I hope you have at least one of each, Leo. And if you don’t, I encourage you to go out and look for some. It would be great if you could also get access to alliances that resemble danc-ing lessons, colorful sanctuaries, lion whisperers, prayer flags, and the northern lights. Right now you especially need the stimulation that synergistic collaborations can provide. The next chapter of your life story requires abundant contact with interesting people who have the power to surprise you and teach you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):“Perfection is a stick with which to beat the possible,” says author Rebecca Solnit. She is of course implying that it might be better not to beat the possible, but rather to protect and nurture the possible as a viable option—especially if perfection ultimately proves to have no value other than as a stick. This is always a truth worth honoring, but it will be crucial for you in the weeks to come. I hope you will cul-tivate a reverence and devotion to the possible. As messy or madden-ing as it might be, it will also groom your powers as a maker.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):An invigorating challenge is headed your way. To prepare you, I offer

the wisdom of French author André Gide. “Through loyalty to the past,” he wrote, “our mind refuses to real-ize that tomorrow’s joy is possible only if today’s joy makes way for it.” What this means, Libra, is that you will probably have to surrender your attachment to a well-honed delight if you want to make yourself available for a bright new delight that’s hovering on the frontier. An educational blessing will come your way if and only if you clear space for its arrival. As Gide concludes, “Each wave owes the beauty of its line only to the withdrawal of the preceding wave.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):“How prompt we are to satisfy the hunger and thirst of our bodies; how slow to satisfy the hunger and thirst of our souls!” Henry David Thoreau wrote that, and now I’m passing it on to you just in time for a special phase of your long-term cycle. During this upcoming interlude, your main duty is to FEED YOUR SOUL in every way you can imagine. So please stuff it with unpredictable beauty and reverent emotions. Cram it with mysterious adventures and rambling treks in the frontier. Gorge it with intimate unpredictability and playful love and fierce devotions in behalf of your most crucial dreams. Warning: You will not be able to rely solely on the soul food that has sustained you in the past. Be eager to discov-er new forms of nourishment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):“Here’s how every love letter can be summarized,” says Russell Dillon in his poem “Past-Perfect-Impersonal”: “What is it you’re unable to surrender and please may I have that?” I bring this tease to your attention because it may serve as a helpful riddle in the coming weeks. You’re enter-ing a phase when you will have an enhanced ability to tinker with and refine and even revolutionize your best intimate relationships. I’m hoping Dillon’s provocation will unleash a series of inquiries that will inspire you as you imag-ine how you could supercharge togetherness and reinvent the ways you collaborate.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):Fifth-century Christian theolo-gian St. Jerome wrote that “it requires infinite discretion to look for gold in the midst of dirt.” Ancient Roman poet Virgil on one occasion testified that he was “searching for gold in dung.” While addressing the angels, nineteenth-century French poet Charles Baudelaire bragged, “From each thing I extracted its quintessence. You gave me your mud, and I made gold out of it.” From what I can tell, Capricorn, you have been engaged in similar work lately. The climax of your toil should come in the next two weeks. (Thanks to Michael Gilleland for the inspira-tion: tinyurl.com/mudgold.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):“At this time in my life,” says singer Joni Mitchell, “I’ve con-fronted a lot of my devils. A lot of them were pretty silly, but they were incredibly real at the time.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, Aquarius, you are due to enjoy a similar grace period. It may be a humbling grace period, because you’ll be invited to decisively banish worn-out delusions that have filled you with needless fear. And it may be a grace period that requires you to make strenuous adjustments, since you’ll have to revise some of your old stories about who you are and how you got here. But it will also be a sweet grace period, because you’ll be blessed again and again with a visceral sense of liberation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):More than halfway through her prose poem “A Settlement,” Mary Oliver abruptly stops her mean-dering meditation on the poi-gnant joys of spring’s soft awak-ening. Suddenly she’s brave and forceful: “Therefore, dark past, I’m about to do it. I’m about to forgive you for everything.” Now would be a perfect moment to draw inspiration from her, Pisces. I dare you to say it. I dare you to mean it. Speak these words: “Therefore, dark past, I’m about to do it. I’m about to forgive you for everything.”

#boiseweeklypicFINDDICE LAB’S 120-SIDED DIE

In the ’80s and ’90s, the 12-sided die was the ultimate talisman of nerd-dom. Owner-ship entailed having a use for one—likely to join other nerds for a dungeon-based role play-ing game or to illustrate prob-ability principles too arcane

for six-sided dice handed out in math class. The Dice Lab, developer of the 120-sided die, has yet to come

up with a purpose for its creation. This state-of-the-art imple-ment of Fortuna comprises the aforementioned number of faces, each a right triangle filed into a 0.2-pound, 2-inch sphere. Its true name could triple as a polygon, chemical or dinosaur: disdyakis triacontahedron.

Described as the “ultimate fair dice allowed by Mother Na-ture,” it’s a marvel of both mathematics and pointlessness but as one of d120’s creators, Robert Bosch, told The New Yorker, “It’s just a cool object, a beautiful object. I really love it, but it’s not Earth-changing.”

SUBMIT questions to Minerva’s Breakdown at bit.ly/MinervasBreakdown or mail them to Boise Weekly, 523 Broad St., Boise, ID 83702. All submis-sions remain anonymous.

DEAR MINERVA,I recently started hanging out with someone. We were sexual at

first but then stopped. When I asked him about it, he said he only wanted to be friends. A day later, he initiated sex. What should I do?

—Mixed Signals

DEAR MIXED SIGNALS,This is frustrating on a couple of levels. You obviously are inter-

ested in more than just friendship, but he doesn’t seem to quite have his mind made up. I have been in this situation myself where someone I cared very much about initiated romantic activity. Then the signals changed to friendship. Then back to sex. Then back to friendship, etc., etc., etc. Maybe your guy is just unsure as to what he wants out of your relationship, which says a whole lot more about his own state of mind—and heart—than it does about you as a prospective romantic partner versus friend. You have to decide what you want out of the relationship, then stick to your guns. You are worthy of a love life and a sex life. If you feel at all disrespected or used, that should be the red light telling you that you just have to stop. Carry on a friendship if you want to but not at the expense of your self-worth. If he hasn’t figured his own path out, then he should be more respectful of you and your journey and not use you as his training wheels. Draw a line and don’t look back.
