BACK TO BUSINESSThe four-day storm of Treefort has passed, and we here at

Boise Weekly can’t say enough about the bands, the crowds and, most of all, the organizers, who not only created a fan-tastic event but managed to cement—in just one year—a bona fide Boise institution.

BW went into war correspondency mode and covered the music festival from a fortified suite at The Modern Hotel, pro-ducing round-the-clock blog posts, interviews and slideshows of the goings-on. If you missed anything—or need to reminisce a little as part of a post-fest, multi-step recovery program—it’s all still online at treefort.boiseweekly.com.

This week, it’s back to business, literally, and among the big news in this week’s edition is the confirmation, made by Mayor Dave Bieter on March 21, that Trader Joe’s is indeed coming to Boise.

It’s a story that BW has been covering for a while now, despite the fact that getting anyone in the know to talk about it felt like trying to break Watergate (well, that might be going a little far). Nonetheless, the rumors are true, and sometime in 2014, that monstrous gravel lot along Capitol Boulevard will be transformed into “your neighborhood grocery store,” as the signs say.

While it’s generally good news when any large employer opens a new location, more often than not, during the Great Recession, “new” jobs usually mean “low-wage” jobs—and that’s one thing Idaho has plenty of. According to a Pew Re-search Center report, Idaho jobs paid nearly $11,000 less than the national average in 2009.

But, as a piece published March 25 in The Atlantic pointed out, Trader Joe’s is among a handful of low-cost retailers that have found that by paying higher wages to entry level employ-ees, they increase efficiency, improve customer service and see a boost in sales.

Are big retailers like Trader Joe’s the recipe for economic recovery? By most all analyses, no. The economy is already brimming with service industry positions—often filled by over-qualified workers cut down by the recession—which is a trend some economists predict can actually slow the recovery.

But if those retailers actually invest in their workers, as the Atlantic says Trader Joe’s does, those new jobs can actually serve as pathways to something better; you know, like the American Dream, and all that.

What you missed this week in the digital world.


Those who forget history are condemned to making up stuff and calling it history. —This might well have been said by any num-ber of people, so I don’t feel at all uneasy about using it here as an authentic quote, even though there is no evidence anyone ever actually said it.

(Note to reader: I woke up this morning not feeling quite myself. At first, I suspected I was coming down with something. But as soon as I started writing, I realized I had been possessed. The uncanny dreams I’d had in the night were not dreams at all. A presence from either the shadow world of disembodied spirits, or from Canyon Coun-ty—it’s hard to know which—had taken control of my fingers as they skittered over the keyboard. The following is the result of that unnatural infestation—B.C.)

It is a tactic we know all too well. So of-ten, when a patriot refuses to be intimidated out of speaking what is true, the sneering jackals of the media elite run him to ground with ridicule and gnaw at his noble entrails with mockery. Can we ever forgive what they did with our last legitimate president? A laughing stock, they made of him. The butt of a thousand barbs! A caricature! A clown! A cartoon baboon with bowed legs! And all because he might have misspoke a few hundred times.

And now, it’s one of our own they tor-ment. One of Idaho’s best and brightest, and they are laughing at him, the curs!

We all know the Cranes of Nampa, I’m sure. Ron Crane was state treasurer for 16 years, following eight terms as a conserva-tive stalwart in the Idaho Legislature. His son, Brent, is following in those footsteps, making him the second-generation Crane to feather himself a cozy government nest, largely by condemning government. A fam-ily of true Americans, indeed, and we can only hope there are more Crane generations coming who will suckle at the teat of Idaho taxpayers.

However, last week, Brent put his conser-vative foot in his conservative mouth when he insinuated that Rosa Parks had taken her famous stand (or sit, to be precise) on a public bus in Alabama in order to defend a state’s right to treat its citizens any way it so chooses. Likening his own solid Tea Party attitudes to that of Parks’ defiance, Crane gallantly declared, “I’ve reached that point ... that I’m tired of giving in to the federal government.”

What Crane said was in the context of his heroic opposition to the curse of Obamacare. But as our legislative leaders have yet to figure out a way to keep liberal reporters and other degenerates out of the room when debating important matters, his comments were made public. After that, need I say, every historical revisionist in the

state, along with every carping shrew of a political observer, went after poor young Crane as though he had uttered something remarkably stupid.

Yet throughout the persecution of this brilliant, up-and-coming future political appointee, the most germane possibility has been overlooked. What if Rosa Parks actually was protesting the heavy hand of federal intervention in affairs that properly belong to the states? She wasn’t a white person, no, but that doesn’t mean we can assume she didn’t appreciate visionar-ies like George Wallace, Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond. Is it so impossible to believe that Parks was adding her voice to an illustrious line of American heroes who have grown “tired of giving in to the federal government?”

Take Cesar Chavez, roughly the same generation as Rosa Parks, and with the same determination to return America to the constitutional principle of Employer Sovereignty. Have we so soon forgot-ten the sacrifices he made by calling for a nationwide boycott on grapes, all to bring attention to the stranglehold that OSHA (Occupational “Socialism and Heathenism” Administration) had on common working men and women?

Let us also recall how Susan B. Anthony strove throughout her life to get Washing-ton, D.C., bureaucrats and proto-pinkos to end government funding of the vile Planned Parenthood, detested by freedom-loving females for forcing the evils of universal suffrage and public schooling on them. Further back, we have William Clark and Meriwether Lewis leading a handful of Minutemen into the unregulated West because they’d had enough of the jackboots in the EPA telling them what they could and could not do on their own property. (I believe it was Lewis who yelled across the Columbia River to Clark, “Give me liberty, or give me exclusive timber and mining rights!”)

Finally, let us never forget that the Founding Fathers, themselves, conceived the federal government for no other purpose than to keep the federal government off the backs of those white male landowners who turned out to be the ancestors of you and I—if not Rosa Parks, exactly.

There are too many great champions of Small Government and Voter Identification Laws to list! Walt Whitman, John Muir, Harriet Tubman, the Stonewall Boys, Natty Bumppo, Walt Disney, Martin Luther ...

(At this point, I could contribute no more. I tore myself away from the keyboard and called this exorcist guy I know. Between him and the half-rack of PBR he brought, the otherworldly presence was driven out and I’m back to normal. I just hope he never come back, whoever he was—B.C.)

The Quagmire Pattern always seems to play out the same way. There’s a civil war in some country deemed by the CIA to be of strategic importance (i.e., energy reserves).

During the initial stage, a secular socialist dictatorship fights Muslim insurgents who want to create an Islamist theocracy. To build support, the conflict is cast to and by the me-dia as a struggle between tyrannical torturers and freedom-loving underdogs.

The Pentagon selects a rebel faction to support, typically the most radical, and sends them money and weapons and trainers. It works. Yay. Civil war ensues. Not so yay.

The craziest religious zealots are poised to prevail in the second stage. Suffering from buyers’/backers’ remorse, the United States now decides to back the most moderate fac-tion among the former opposition. Then the quagmire begins.

The trouble is, the radicals are still fanati-cal. So the United States pours in more help to their new moderate allies—whatever it takes to win an “honorable peace”—and install a moderate regime before withdrawing.

The moderates, you see, never had the sup-port of most of their country’s people. They didn’t earn their stripes in the war against the former regime. Putting them in power isn’t enough. Boy, is the United States in a pickle.

Americans troops are getting offed by a determined radical insurgency. Moreover, their puppet allies are a pain in the ass. The puppet-puppetmaster relationship is inherently one characterized by mistrust.

However, the electorate isn’t told this. They are repeatedly told that abandonment is the problem. “The decisive factor in terms of the

rise of the Taliban and al-Qaida was the fact that the United States and most of the inter-national community simply walked away and left it to Pakistan and to other more extremist elements to determine Afghanistan’s future in the ’90s,” claims James Dobbins, former U.S. envoy to Afghanistan, Bosnia and Kosovo.

The implication, of course, is that the Unit-ed States shouldn’t have left Afghanistan in the early 1990s. The problem with this argument is that we have been over there for 12 years, and have little to show for our efforts.

The Quagmire Pattern has played out in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, where a weak central government propped up by the Obama administration is sitting on its hands.

The Quagmire Pattern is unfolding again, this time in Syria. When the uprising against the secular socialist government of Bashar al-Assad began two years ago, the United States rushed in with money, trainers and indirect arms sales. Now people like Dobbins are argu-ing in favor of weapons transfers from Penta-gon arms depots to the Syrian opposition.

Dobbins admits that there are “geopoliti-cal risks,” yet he still wants to arm the Syrian rebels, who include members of al-Qaida.

There is, he told NPR, “the possibility that the intervention wouldn’t work and that it would look like a failure.”

So why does he still want to give weapons to people who will probably wind up aiming them at American soldiers?

“I think the consequences of not acting and the risks of not acting are even greater,” Dobbins said.

We do what we do because that’s what we do. That’s how the Quagmire Pattern works.

New study: Idaho leads much of the nation in energy code

complianceGEORGE PRENTICE

Ken Baker is pretty good at reading his audience. A 30-year veteran educator, energy consultant and the first chairman of Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter’s Idaho Strategic Energy Alli-ance Conservation Task Force, Baker surveyed a crowded upstairs room at Boise’s Owyhee Hotel March 22. The audience—a collection of government officials and representatives from the private sector, including Idaho Power, Hewlett-Packard and URS—were present to hear Baker talk about a decidedly un-sexy-sounding, though vitally important topic: “en-ergy codes,” the government standards used by designers and builders to realize energy savings while protecting natural resources.

Baker, who came to the Idaho Environmen-tal Forum equipped with more than a dozen charts and graphs and a half-dozen more public and private research studies, abruptly stopped his PowerPoint presentation and paused for a moment.

“I need to tell you about a phone call I had recently. I called an acquaintance of mine—someone I’ve known for more than 20 years; and in all that time I always tried to educate him about the importance of energy codes,” Baker said. “He has since retired and I called him up to see how he was doing personally, but he couldn’t stop talking about energy codes. I asked him why he had a change of heart and he said, ‘I must admit that I never fully bought into the concept of energy codes before. But I have a son in the military, and he has served two tours in Iraq and another tour in Afghanistan. And I can’t help but think that if we had thought a bit more about energy here, maybe our entry into those conflicts wouldn’t have had to happen.”

Baker paused again to note that more than a few heads in the room were nodding.

Baker told Boise Weekly that the urgency of energy efficiency crosses political boundaries.

“For example, I’ve learned by working with Idaho legislators that conservation and conservative values are natural alliances,” he said. “In the case of energy codes, everyone pretty much understands that you’re doing a disservice to your communities if you don’t support these types of programs.”

To that end, Baker said he wasn’t too sur-prised to learn that a just-released study from the nonprofit Northwest Energy Efficiency Alli-ance revealed that Idaho is head and shoulders above most U.S. states in compliance with the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code, approved by the 2010 Idaho Legislature and effective in the Gem State since January 2011.

The study found that a statistical sampling indicates new Idaho homes were 90 percent compliant.

“Idaho did extremely well,” said David Cohan, senior manager of the Portland-based NEEA. “I think that 90 percent compliance was an unbelievably high mark to set. And there are many states with compliance rates that are around 40, 50 or 60 percent.”

The independent study, performed by the Portland-based Cadmus Group and commis-sioned by NEEA, was triggered by federal requirements tied to nearly $50 million in stimulus funds sent to Idaho as part of the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Simply put, feds told states that they must be at a 90 percent compliance rate with the International Energy Conservation Code by 2017. Using three different methodolo-gies, NEAA found that Idaho’s compliance rates were 83, 90 and 109 percent compliance (the 109 percent rate means that, in many instances, the sampling of new Idaho homes exceeded the required standards).

“Idaho showing up at 90 percent or higher was spectacular,” said Cohan. “Most states weren’t even in the ballpark.”

That was sweet music to the ears of Ron Whitney, deputy administrator for the Idaho State Division of Building Safety.

“I’m very glad to hear him say that,” Whit-ney told Boise Weekly.

Whitney knows a thing or two about build-ing homes in Idaho. Prior to his state govern-ment job, Whitney spent 38 years in consumer and commercial building design and construc-tion in the Gem State.

“A homebuilder almost always says, ‘If a buyer wants it, I’ll build it,’” said Whitney. “Sometimes you’ll find buyers who are savvy enough to ask for energy conservation mea-sures; sometimes you won’t.”

Cohan agreed, saying homebuilders are all too anxious to satisfy their customers.

“And sometimes that consumer doesn’t

want efficiency,” said Cohan. “Instead, they want granite countertops.”

But Baker was quick to point to a study that indicates a shift in consumer preferences.

“It was just published by the National Association of Homebuilders, a study called What Homebuyers Really Want, and for the first time, what they really want is energy efficiency,” said Baker. “You can’t deny that. It’s not just granite countertops. It’s energy efficiency.”

According to the study, conducted by NAHB’s Economics and Housing Policy Group, “nine out of 10 buyers would rather buy a home with energy-efficient features and permanently lower utility bills than one without.”

Cohan stressed, however, that selling energy-efficient upgrades to consumers remains a challenge.

“The problem, and it’s a pretty large one for energy-efficient advocates, is that the value of that efficiency isn’t totally appreciated or understood in the marketplace,” he said. “So, we’re working with realtors and appraisers to try to get them to sell efficiency to consumers. When you’re raising the price of a home, it’s difficult to tell a consumer how great it is to have thicker walls.”

Baker said most consumers don’t realize that the cost-benefits of investing in tighter insulation, better air circulation and efficient lighting reconcile sooner than later.

“I believe the payback to the homebuyer is phenomenal. It’s less than five years,” said Baker. “And if you’re financing that incremen-tal cost and you roll that into your mortgage, you’re putting money back into your pocket from the first month.”

Another of Baker’s PowerPoint slides on March 22 displayed a fairly simple pie chart, divided into three sections.

“This pie chart never used to change for decades,” said Baker. “Very simply, this pie is divided into three equal divi-

LAWMAKERS URGED TO CARE FOR CAREGIVERS

Margaret Henbest—executive director at Nurse Leaders of Idaho—recently reached out to hundreds of her organization’s members in every corner of the Gem State, asking them how long and deep a shadow the threat of violence casts over Idaho’s emergency rooms and care centers.

“The first response came back within 10 minutes,” said Henbest. “And the emails kept coming for days; story after story.”

Henbest said she heard about attempted rape, teeth being punched out, stabbings, concussions and broken noses.

Henbest stood before Idaho lawmakers March 25, describing what she called “a culture of tolerance that allows violence against health care workers.”

Henbest urged members of the Senate Judiciary and Rules Committee to help push House Bill 292, which would strengthen protections for Idaho health care profession-als who are assaulted while on the job. In particular, HB 292 would make an assault against a health care worker a felony, much like current protections for social workers, police officers and firefighters.

“I’ve been assaulted twice,” said Dr. Mark Urban, pediatric emergency medical director for the St. Luke’s Health System. “With an increase in prescription drug abuse, we’re seeing more assaults when some caregivers refuse those medications.”

Urban and Henbest joined a number of caregivers advocating for more protection.

“There has been an escalation against health care workers—roughly three times as many violent crimes as any other private sector profession,” said David Lehman, spokesman for Kootenai Medical Center. “Health care workers are afraid of their patients, some even hiding their identities.”

Committee members agreed to move the bill forward, but some had caveats.

“The fact that we have this many as-saults on our health care workers disgusts me,” said Meridian Republican Sen. Marv Hagedorn. “I don’t think this bill is going to stop that but we have to make an effort. It’s unacceptable.”

HB 292, which was introduced by fresh-man Coeur d’Alene Republican Rep. Luke Malek, has already been passed by the full House and now heads to the full Senate for its consideration before it can be signed into law by Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter.

Like most good stories, it started with a tip. And this time, the tip we received in Novem-ber 2012 was from an unimpeachable source. Our problem was that the source had to remain anonymous. Thus began, in earnest, Boise Weekly’s reporting on Trader Joe’s.

BW had been down this road before: Ru-mors about the purveyors of Two Buck Chuck coming to Idaho have been floating around Boise for the better part of a decade. But this time was different: Confidentiality agreements were being passed around among public plan-ners and private developers, meaning Trader Joe’s and their representatives were serious this time–but it also meant that individuals were legally bound not to speak.

When BW first printed our story (BW, News, “Can You Keep a Secret?” Dec. 5, 2012), more than a few naysayers—and yes, that included other media outlets—pushed back, saying their sources were telling them otherwise. Things got more interesting when the following week (BW, News, “Can You Still Keep a Secret?” Dec. 12, 2012), we reported that Trader Joe’s had secured, through the Idaho Secretary of State’s Office, incorporation to do business in Idaho.

Architectural renderings followed, triggering a Boise Plan-ning and Zoning hearing, where commissioners approved designs for a new retail development at Capitol Boulevard and Front Street. But everyone was still tight-lipped.

That is, until March 21, when Mayor Dave Bieter, anxious to share some good news with a gathering of the Boise Young Professionals, said Trader Joe’s was indeed coming to Boise.

“That’s a done deal,” Bieter

told an appreciative audience.Bieter’s spokesman, Adam Park, told BW

that city officials had reached out to Trader Joe’s numerous times over the years.

“But we were usually told that Boise was probably too far away from their supply cor-ridor,” said Park. “But when they opened a store in Bend, Ore., we were encouraged. We knew this was something people were anxious to see, and now, it’s a reality.”

In particular, city planners are happy that Trader Joe’s, along with other small retail-ers—expected to include a sandwich and/or coffee shop—will be sprouting from what is currently a 1.7-acre gravel parking lot, framed by Capitol Boulevard, Front, Sixth and Broad streets.

“We have too many surface parking lots in the downtown area,” said Park. “Rather than going wide, we want to build up, and the first place we should look at are those lots. That’s what Whole Foods did and that’s what Trader Joe’s will do.”

And while a Trader Joe’s spokesperson con-firmed that a 13,000-square-foot store would indeed open in downtown Boise in 2014, their proposed developer still has a bit of work to do at the Capitol and Front lot.

“We still own the land,” Scott Schoenherr, partner at Rafanelli and Nahas Real Estate, told BW. “But Hawkins Companies [a Boise-based retail developer] is under contract to buy it. We haven’t closed on the sale because Hawkins is still performing its due diligence.”

But Schoenherr is as happy as anyone about the Trader Joe’s announcement.

“Trader Joe’s would be great in Boise. We tried

to build something on that lot but we just

couldn’t make financial sense

out of it,” said Schoenherr. “But I think their plans look great.”

Park told BW that development

at one of the busiest intersec-

tions in Idaho is in sync with the

Bieter administration’s plans for greater downtown

density.“Prior to the Eighth and

Main tower going up, the mayor was always asked when the hole was going to be filled. But the other question he often got was, ‘When is Trader Joe’s coming to Boise?’” said Park. “We couldn’t be more pleased.”

sions, showing us the three major users of energy in the United States: the trans-portation sector, industry and buildings. And it has stayed pretty equal for years, with each taking a third of the pie.”

But when Baker changed the slide, the pie chart’s divisions had shifted.

“Look at what happened,” he said. “The nation’s transportation sector now uses about 28 percent of our nation’s energy; industry uses about 31 percent, and our buildings are now using 41 percent of our energy. Do you know what this means? This means we can have the biggest impact on the nation’s energy con-sumption by focusing on our buildings.”

In addition to his environmental and economic arguments, Baker said his recent experience in upgrading Idaho public schools was, perhaps, the most personal.

“I’ve been helping the state of Idaho with its K-12 Energy Efficiency Project,” he said, referring to the initiative, fueled by $17 million in federal stimulus dollars, along with State En-ergy Program funds. “We looked at over 800 school buildings across the state. The overall management of the project was huge.”

The project resulted in HVAC, mechanical and water-saving retrofits to schools in every corner of Idaho, but Baker said the most tan-gible change was in lighting upgrades.

“We walked into some Idaho schools where the lighting was literally yellow,” he said. “It was very old, high-pressure sodium lighting, the kind you see in parking lots. The lighting was so low that you were afraid the kids were going to get hurt. Well, our contractors put in new lighting into those hallways, classrooms, gymnasiums and those mechanical shops in

technical schools. And by the time we walked out of there, the kids had state-of-the-art light-ing. And something like that is much more than energy efficiency. It’s safety.”

Cohan said fewer citizens are pushing back against 21st century energy codes but that doesn’t mean they still don’t have questions.

“You will rarely find anyone raise their hand anymore and say, ‘I hate energy ef-ficiency.’ Everybody will say they like it,” said Cohan. “But what it still comes down to are questions over costs and timelines.”

Baker said he loves to answer all of those questions. But depending on his audience, different answers are important to differ-ent people: Sometimes it’s the environment; sometimes it’s money; and sometimes it’s a child’s safety. It can even mean a decision to go to war.

One of my favorite moments on the job is when I hand a kid their first ice cream cone and their eyes just light up. And they get that look: “Oh my goodness, that’s for me?” Oh, I love that. The best thing about my job is my co-workers, but a close second is the happiness from kids.

How many types of chocolates do you

make?I have to count sometimes; dozens of

types of chocolates, hundreds of individual chocolates. I tried to estimate how many I made one day and it was close to 1,000.

And the best sellers?Turtles are really popular. Let’s see, there

are fruit cremes, chocolate-dipped cherries and all of our truffles. My favorite is the amaretto truffle. But we have coconut, coffee bean, Irish Cream, Grand Marnier, Kahlua

and cream and dark chocolate silk truffles. Lately, our chocolate-dipped Oreos have become big sellers. And they’re really fun, because we add special holiday decorations.

And are there basic chocolate flavors?You can do all different types of flavor-

ings—and there are endless possibilities—but the standards are milk chocolate, mint chocolate, white chocolate and dark choco-late, with varying degrees of bitterness.

Is milk chocolate the favorite?You would think, but I definitely see a

rise in the popularity of dark chocolate. People say, “Oh, it’s good for my health.” Hopefully, it’s true.

Do you sample?Of course. Especially the new products.

We have virtually nothing written down. It’s an art, really. We don’t have recipes. That’s why I have to taste everything.

I’m presuming that you’ve seen the

famous I Love Lucy episode with Lucy working in the candy store.

[Big laugh] People say to me all the time, “Oh, you make chocolates, like Lucy.”

What are your newer products?Pretzels with peanut butter dipped in

chocolate, those have become very popular. Shortbread dipped in chocolate. We’re start-ing to make homemade peanut brittle and divinity.

What do you prefer when you’re giving

something as a gift?I love to give something called Mint

Cindy: It’s a melt-away mint chocolate cen-ter covered in dark chocolate.

I’m sure a lot of us fantasize about owning a candy store, but there has to be a business recipe for success.

Atmosphere is huge. Hiring the right crew is important. Our owner—Brett Pal-mateer—really understands that investing is important and he invests in us. He grew up in this business and he passes all of his knowledge on to us.

So what’s the secret of making perfect

chocolates?It’s in the temperer.(Hancock led BW to an inner sanctum,

where she has a series large spinning silver kettles, one each for milk, mint, white and dark chocolate.)

The temperer is heated by a series of light bulbs, which keep the temperature even and the spinning creates a flow of chocolate for the dipping.

Could you ruin the chocolate in a heart-

beat?Oh, yeah. Chocolate is very finicky and

the cooling is the most important part. That determines how it’s going to look. It took me a long time to get the hang of it. Ev-erything has to be at a stable temperature. You don’t want the chocolate to be cloudy or have any blooms—little white spots. It needs to have a nice sheen.

You must see a lot of people between

Memorial Day and Labor Day.Actually, our summer season starts in

April. That’s when we have to have more workers. (The current roster includes 18 names.)

Is your business recession-proof?It’s been pretty steady year-round, and

that’s pretty new. You can truly notice the difference. You really get a good sense for that when you’re working behind the counter.

To visit Manna Hancock’s “office,” you open a door next a huge kettle of freshly made caramel corn, keep walking past a mini-confab of stuffed bunnies and kittens, pass by glass showcases of 60 different types of chocolates, make a left at the soda fountain, of-fering a dozen varieties of homemade ice cream, and walk into a compact kitchen, where dreams are concocted.

“Over there, we have all of the special things we have for Easter: sour bunnies, speckled chocolate malted eggs, and our special Easter sprinkles,” said Hancock. “I’m a sucker for cute things. I think they’re just adorable.”

But it’s all about the chocolate for Hancock. She’s the so-called “chocolatier” at Goody’s Soda Fountain and Candy Store—the Boise sweet shop that has swung its doors open in the North End’s Hyde Park neighborhood for 17 years. And while she regularly joins more than a dozen Goody’s co-workers serving homemade ice cream, Hancock and a colleague spend most of their days crafting dozens of types of chocolates. With Easter right around the cor-ner, Hancock took a few spare moments to talk about the sweetest gig in town.

DOING BUSINESS IN CHINA

“It’s better to be the head of a rooster than the tail of a dragon.”

That might sound a little obscure, but think of it as a bit of Chinese wisdom, akin to “staying on top of things.”

It’s also the theme of a lecture by Marshall Meyer,

University of Pennsylvania professor of management and sociology. He’ll be deliv-ering his talk, A Tale of Two (or More) Chinas, at the Sun Valley Center in Ketchum, Thursday, March 28, at 5:30 p.m., and it will be a study of expectations.

China’s entrepreneurial environment has evolved under political, social and economic circumstances that are unfamiliar to most Americans. Meyer—who is the Tsai Wan-Tsai professor of management and sociol-ogy at The Wharton School

of the University of Penn-sylvania—will discuss how the strategies and tactics of doing business in China are different from those prac-ticed in the United States, drawing from his experience as a business consultant and scholar of Chinese busi-ness practices.

A specialist in Chinese management, measurement of organizational perfor-mance, and organizational dynamics and design, Meyer has also held numerous aca-demic positions at Cornell, Harvard, Yale, the University

of California, Los Angeles, and several institutions in Asia.

This lecture is more than dry shoptalk, though. Meyer’s address is a warn-ing as thinly veiled as its title: With China’s rapid growth in business and po-litical spheres, it’s better to acquaint yourself with it now than later.

BOISE STUDENT INTERNATIONAL VIDEO FESTIVAL

Unlike the early years of filmmaking, modern audio and video equipment is cheap and accessible enough for any passionate

youngster to start shoot-ing original movies. Though Vimeo and YouTube provide a digital forum, perhaps more than ever, upstart filmmakers need a place to showcase their work.

That’s where the second annual Boise Student International Video Festival comes in. Supporting youth education in film is the charge of the BoVi board.

Between Thursday, March 28, and Friday, March 29, K-12, college and graduate student contributors will screen their shorts on a movie theater-sized screen

THURSDAYMARCH 28barrels of fun

DONKEY KONG TOURNAMENT AT SPACEBAR ARCADEThe 1980s brought many travesties: oversized shoulder pads, scrunchy socks, rock bands

in leotards and other fashion disasters. But beyond Chernobyl, the Reagan years and the first generation of Ford Tauruses, there was the introduction of arcade games with only one difficulty level (hard to impossible) and usually only one objective (dodge/shoot everything, but also collect everything). Kids today have it easy with their 3-D graphics, video cards and 18-button controllers.

If you’re game—pun intended—for some old-school 8-bit play pitted against some of Boise’s best gamers, then pen Spacebar Arcade’s Donkey Kong Tournament into your calendar for Thursday, March 28, at 7 p.m.

Each contestant has five minutes to play as Mario-precursor Jumpman, as he climbs ladders and dodges barrels tossed by video game history’s most infamous ape in an attempt to save the captive proto-Princess Peach, Lady. And it’s all done with a con-troller consisting of a joystick and a single, infinitely mashable button.

Since memories of long lines at the Donkey Kong machine in the local arcade are specific to a maturing generation, expect mature beverage options. This tournament is sponsored by Ninkasi Brewing, so while you’re sweating bullets jumping over barrels, Spacebar will be tapping the kegs for pours of its refreshing brews. T-shirts and other loot await the evening’s highest scorers.

The Donkey Kong Tournament follows in the footsteps of other Spacebar events, including its Galaga Tournament and Magic: The Gathering gameplay nights, specializing in breath-ing life back into the hottest games of the ’80s and ’90s. But for the purposes of Donkey Kong, you only get one life, so play your best.

EARTH GIRLS ARE EASY PARTYRomancing Earth girls can be a pain. Just ask Jeff Goldblum. Before he was Dr. Ian Mal-

colm in Jurassic Park, he was Mac, a furry alien chasing human tail in the musical Earth Girls are Easy, about a troupe of lonely aliens looking for love.

In the spirit of the classic ’80s film, Hot Dog Sandwich Headquarters comic book store is teaming up with the Evil Wine Show and the Red Room to hold an ’80s-themed movie and music party, featuring Earth Girls are Easy Saturday, March 30, at 7 p.m.

The Earth Girls are Easy Party is a continuation of Evil Wine and Hot Dog Sandwich Headquarters’ monthly movie theme-party series. Show up in your best Back to the Future attire for the free movie screening, tunes from the golden age of hairspray and a costume contest. The winner of the contest will score prizes from the Red Room and Hot Dog Sand-wich Headquarters.

Music entertainment by DEVO cover band The Mongoloids and ’80s-style New Wave band Popsicle will incorporate electronic, mod subculture, disco and ’60s pop into its act, enticing ear drums with soothingly toxic sounds. Playing songs based off the New Wave movement, bands will play with synthetic instrumental sounds and time signatures.

For those with a hankering for movie grub, the special during the film is a beer, a shot and a tub of popcorn for $5.

7 p.m. $3-$5. The Red Room, 1519 W. Main St., Boise, redroomboise.com.


FIND

FAMILY OF FESTIVALS After losing contact with some newfound friends at a

Dave Matthews Band concert in 2011, Portland, Ore.’s, Hunter Wilson and Arianna Singleton created Family of Festi-vals to help music lovers connect.

FOF gives festival attendees a central place to find information on upcoming music festivals—everything from

Sasquatch to Bonnaroo to Coachella to the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festi-val—along with a catalog of

pictures, videos and reviews to refer back to and reminisce about after the festival is over.

“It’s more than the music, the atmosphere, the attrac-tions,” the couple wrote on familyoffestivals.com. “It’s that perfect little world we all wish we had. It doesn’t last forever. But when you’re there, you’re in the moment.”

The Family has grown exponentially since the formation of the website, familyoffestivals.com, in January 2012. Now, those who sign up for free to become part of the Family are entered to win two tickets to any 2014 festival.

“Though our numbers are growing rapidly, that’s not how we judge our success,” said Wilson. “It’s up to the Family to make us successful. We’ve had so much positive input from people all over the world. The sky’s the limit for us.”

SATURDAYMARCH 30one-night stand-up

TRACY MORGAN“I’m just trying to do karate and get females pregnant.”Actor and comedian Tracy Morgan knows the power of a

one-liner. He’s earned legions of fans over his long career in stand-up, television and movies by being unafraid to say things that can simultaneously drop jaws and elicit hysteri-cal laughter.

And while his days as the resident petulant and confused celebrity on 30 Rock are over, he’s not slowing down. Morgan will hit Boise’s Egyptian Theatre for a one-night-only performance as part of his Excuse My French tour Saturday, March 30.

When the announcement hit that Morgan was including the City of Trees in his comedy tour, eager fans snapped up tickets, anxious for a chance to catch an evening of “did he really just say that?” humor.

Procrastinators will be happy to know that there are still some tickets left, but if you haven’t already figured it out, this isn’t a kid-friendly show. Fork out the cash for a babysit-ter if you have to, because sometimes grown-ups need some not-appropriate-for-younger-audiences fun.

GAME ON: INTERNATIONAL TABLETOP GAME DAY

The term “fun and games” tends to get a negative connotation—“It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye.” “He/She is just playing games.”

But nothing is wrong with having a little fun in life—some-thing that sometimes seems all too rare. Better yet, how about playing some games that actually force a little human interaction and not just hours spent staring mock explosions on a screen.

Board and card games will finally get some respect Satur-day, March 30, with TableTop Game Day.

Geek&Sundry, a self-proclaimed indie-geek YouTube chan-nel; Wil Wheaton, of TV’s Star Trek: The Next Generation; and the Web series TableTop have inspired the next advance in tabletop gaming. Gamers around the country celebrate Inter-national TableTop Game Day on the first anniversary of the TableTop Web series, when they congregate at event centers, restaurants and other public places to play and raise the vis-ibility of tabletop gaming culture.

Here are a few official events in the Treasure Valley:-

ing stations, as well as drinks and dinner specials. Games—including Settlers of Catan, Ticket to Ride and Munchkin—run from 4:30-10:30 p.m.

-tured on TableTop, like Star Fluxx, a humorous card game set in space that might end with your ship covered in fuzzy aliens; a fast-paced strategy game, Tsuro; and Say Anything, a house party game that challenges players to literally say anything. Open play runs from 11 a.m.- 3 p.m.

You can check the map on the website for groups that have registered at tabletopday.com.

WEEK IN REVIEW

WEEK IN TREEVIEWLast weekend, the Boise Weekly A&E team dove headfirst

into Treefort Music Fest. We ate, drank, danced and got up at the ungodly hour of 10 a.m. to write all about it. While you can mull over our staff’s top Treefort moments on Page 16, we’re dedicating this space to some of the band interviews and videos we did from our Modern Hotel base camp—aka, the BW Treefortress—all of which can be found at treefort.boiseweekly.com.

Bright and early March 22, Death Songs’ Nick Delffs swung by the Treefortress to have a bowl of Life cereal and discuss, well, life.

“I’ve just realized after I’ve almost finished my bowl that it goes soggy too fast,” noted Delffs, after dishing about relocat-ing to Boise. “Like, immediately it was too soggy, and it’s way too sugary.”

Later that afternoon, BW’s Josh Gross sat down with electronic musician Steve Marion, aka Delicate Steve. Though Marion has a delicate touch when it comes to playing the guitar, we wanted to test just how delicate it was. So we set up a game of Jenga and let the questions fly, something which quickly turned problematic.

“I’m not a great multi-tasker,” Marion said.Also on March 22, BW’s Harrison Berry and Andrew Crisp

took Alex “ManCub” Anderson, the Denver, Colo., indie dance musician extraordinaire, for a tour of Zoo Boise. Anderson identified ManCub’s power animal (the red panda) and demon-strated what the ManCub looks like as a dance.

In the early afternoon of March 23, Seattle psychedelic folk rockers Rose Windows piled into the Treefortress to discuss how they compensated for lead singer Rabia Quazi’s absence at the band’s Neurolux performance March 22, signing to Sub Pop and just how “fucking nice” Boiseans can be.

“We were walking around trying to find one thing wrong with this town, but we were like, ‘We can’t.’ Everyone’s nice; the service everywhere we go is great,” said flautist-percussionist Veronica Dye.

Later that night, Detroit musician Zachary Saginaw, better known by his stage name Shigeto, wrapped audiences up in his performance at China Blue.

After his sweat-drenched set, Saginaw caught up with Crisp in an alleyway off Sixth Street. Having recently dropped a new mixtape, Beats 4 Dilla, Saginaw told BW why he chose to dedi-cate those tracks to the late Motor City rapper J. Dilla.

Before her Reef set March 23, Bay Area hip-hop luminary Kristine “K.Flay” Flaherty also stopped by Boise Weekly’s hotel-room headquarters. Flaherty talked sandwiches and Tree-fort 2012, before answering the question: “Is your music more popular with a male or female audience?”

“You know, it’s interesting. I was talking about this with my manager recently, and most of the shows are like 50-50,” said Flaherty.

Watch all these videos—including a mash-up of every band we interviewed performing Roger Miller’s “King of the Road”—and read the full interviews at treefort.boiseweekly.com.

NOISE/CD REVIEW

EDMOND DANTES, ETTARyan Peck and Andrew Stensaas are instructors at Boise

Rock School, a job that requires the ability to relate well to children. Yet Etta, the debut EP from the duo’s band, Edmond Dantes, is strikingly mature.

Though the group took their time germinating—nearly a year of writing and rehearsing before their first gig—the five songs on Etta still sound as if they hatched from an egg fully formed, with well-conceived production, clever lyrics and an intriguing sound.

The songs have clear influences in soul and classic pop—both in their structures and the tone of Stensaas’ vocals. But beneath his silky-smooth croon is the buzz and bleep of synth and disco-beat bass lines, firmly planting the band’s flag in the realm of electro-pop.

“Decade,” the first track on Etta, has clear shades of MGMT and Phoenix, if they were fronted by Hall and Oates. Synth bass buzzes as snappy drums punch through the mix. It’s a strong opening.

Though the catchy melodies and production of Etta make it easy to hear any of the tracks as a single, “I Don’t Like You,” the second song, stands apart from the bunch with clever wordplay, flourishes of trumpet and a bluesy feel. Etta also features a dance remix of the song, “I Don’t Like You (China Bleu Cheese remix),” as the EP’s fifth and final track.

“Electric Lights,” the third song, has a slower meter and moodier feel, with twinkles of synth beneath Stanton’s lyrics about the existential crises of barflies. Big hits of twangy guitar make the chorus a punchy delight.

“No Good So Good,” the fourth track, apes much of the catchiness of “I Don’t Like You,” with slinky rhymes about the dangers of love atop a danceable beat and bluesy electric piano riffs.

There is a world of difference between pop music and pop singers. Edmond Dantes is a band that isn’t afraid to embrace catchy melodies and approachable songs. The result is an instantly inviting collection of tunes with broad appeal, and not even a whiff of the saccharine sweetness that turns pop into a four-letter word.

Though it’s only five songs long, Etta is still one of the best recordings from a Boise band yet this year.

Treefort is now something of a holiday that celebrates the value of live music. Bands play to packed audiences eager for more. “Happy Treefort” is even a common phrase, as if we all understand that Treefort is now a citywide celebration.

And though many came down with a case of Treefort Fever (a cumulative four-day hangover), the festival showed that live music is something worth honoring. Here are Boise Weekly’s Top 10 Treefort moments of 2013:

SHARON JONES INVITING DANCERS FROM THE AUDIENCE ONSTAGE

Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings were cooking the Treefort Main Stage March 22, but when Jones invited dancers from the audience to join her, she brought the evening to a full boil. Breathlessly exhorting security to allow a troupe of ladies onstage, she taught Boise a few new dance moves before one of her guests held up what appeared to be a large bag full of marijuana, at which point she shuffled the dancers offstage one by one.

ROASTING MARSHMALLOWS WITH EL TEN ELEVEN

BW caught up with El Ten Eleven bassist Kristian Dunn and drummer Tim Fogarty, aka, “the rocktopus,” at a serious marshmal-low roasting session March 23 at The Modern Hotel with Girlfriends, Dedicated Servers, Slow Magic and Oso Negro. For anyone who’s seen the million-dollar quartet photo from Sun Records, this was Treefort’s version.

TALKING SANDWICHES WITH K.FLAYBefore Bay Area hip-hop luminary Kristine

“K.Flay” Flaherty took the stage March 23, she stopped by BW’s Treefort HQ. She sipped a can of beer on the BW couch and answered the question, “What’d you do last night?”

“I made sandwiches for an hour and a half and then fell asleep. It was a mix of things, be-cause we had some different types of cheeses. It was all a riff on grilled cheeses, some provolone, some cheddar, some pepper jack mixings, and then I did fried eggs, scrambled eggs. Because I like to cook. When I get a little drunk, I have this weird visceral need to make food for people.”

THE WALKMEN’S LEAD SINGER SLUGGING OFF A BOTTLE OF WINE

At the end of The Walkmen’s set March 23 at the Main Stage, lead singer Hamilton Leithauser gripped a bottle of wine, which he tipped to his lips with an appropriate rock star swagger before arching his back and belting out the line “break out the bottles” on the band’s encore song, “All Hands and the Cook.”

DANCE PARTY/MOSH PIT AT WOODEN INDIAN BURIAL GROUND

Wooden Indian Burial Ground tore up the Red Room March 23 with its high-energy ga-rage rock. The crowd morphed from a mosh pit into a dance party and back to a mosh pit as the band made commentary like: “That song’s about surfing on acid with your dad.”

WATCHING HILLSTOMP SOUNDCHECK A BUCKET

Soundchecks are almost universally boring. Unless the band soundchecking is Hillstomp.

Then you get to hear comments from the soundman like, “Where should I mic the bucket?”

TERROR PIGEON DANCE REVOLT BUSTING OUT CAPES AND CONFETTI

When we thought there was no mind left to blow, along came the one-two punch of Little Ruckus and Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt at The Linen Building March 23.

The bands—both made up of the same members—brought more energy to the late-night stragglers than most groups dedicate to a full room.

There were American flag capes, confetti, the singer hoisted sideways by two other band members for audience members to do the limbo beneath, trading clothes with the person next to you, the entire audience getting under a parachute with a strobe light, dudes in dresses and so, so, so much more.

DAN DEACON TELLING BOISE TO TAKE A KNEE AND POINT AT THE STARS

Once Dan Deacon took the Main Stage March 24, he beckoned the audience to raise their left hands to the sky, point out a star, drop to one knee and then celebrate any dissenters still standing in the crowd. All this while relating a story from J.R.R. Tolkien.

While Deacon’s distorted vocals echoed over the crowd, drummers at two different kits hammered a beat that sent the audience into a frenzy. Later, Deacon had the crowd form a large circle at its center, picked out two listen-ers and deemed them participants in a dance contest. After a brief spell, they were to pass

the baton to someone else.Deacon told the audience he’d end with

one more long song—which devolved into what one member of the audience called “the world’s friendliest mosh pit.”

THE MOMENT EVERYONE FELL IN LOVE WITH EMILY WELLS AT ONCE

A classically trained violinist, Emily Wells uses a series of live loops, sample pads and acoustic drums to make rich and haunting neo-gospel. Though it ran over time, her set at Neurolux March 24 was so well-received that Wells was sent back onstage to do an encore, a nearly unheard of act on a festival timeline.

The only downside was that awkward mo-ment when hundreds of people fell head over heels in love with her at once.

TEENS TEAR DOWN THE STAGEBoise band TEENS nearly destroyed the

Red Room at its performance during Treefort 2012. That made the band’s return March 24 one of the most anticipated follow-ups for everyone except Mitch Thompson, the owner of the club.

“I’ve been dreading this set all week,” Thompson said.

There wasn’t much to see on stage—just a wall of dancing yahoos with lights from a pro-jector playing over their backs—but watching Thompson slowly shake his head was one of the most entertaining parts of the festival.

A lesser club owner might have pulled the plug when the electrical piping was torn loose, but Thompson just grimaced and a made a checklist of what would need to be repaired in the morning.

ROGER CLYNE AND THE PEACEMAKERS, MARCH 28, REEF

It’s a good thing that Roger Clyne plays guitar instead of drums because he has the timing of a broken clock.

Clyne’s breakthrough album with his band, The Refresh-ments, was a collection of witty, major-key rock singalongs released into the maelstrom of mid-’90s grunge nihilism. While rain-swept Seattle was inspiring a nation, Clyne sang odes to the deserts of Arizona and Mexico from his Tempe, Ariz., home.

“We were more of a celebration band than an angst band,” Clyne told Boise Weekly in 2010, concluding that The Refresh-ments were, ultimately, “good music to drink beer to.”

When Clyne left his record contract behind and went back to playing rock clubs, he reorganized The Refreshments into The Peacemakers, and that’s when his fans really started to show their dedication. The band now hosts its own concert festival, Circus Mexicus.

GUIDE

KMFDM, MARCH 29, KNITTING FACTORYIn the 1990s, Hamburg, Germany’s KMFDM was credited

with bringing industrial music to the mainstream alongside heavy-hitters like Nine Inch Nails and Ministry. But since its for-mation in 1984, the band’s sound has stood apart for its layers of electronic influences atop pure, heavy-metal rock ’n’ roll.

Spanning a career of nearly 30 years and nearly as many albums, KMFDM singer and multi-instrumentalist Sascha Koni-etzko remains the group’s driving force. Despite a rotating cast of other players, KMFDM’s distinct sound is still characterized by pulsating synthesizers and bass with chunky riffs.

While early singles like “Power” and “Juke Joint Jezebel” helped KMFDM achieve worldwide success, the February re-lease of KMFDM’s 18th album, Kunst, proves it can still bring the noise.

Over the last century, downtown Boise’s fields and orchards have given way to grids of streets and towering buildings as Idaho’s capital city has taken shape.

Now, one of the Treasure Valley’s first agri-cultural areas, Julia Davis Park, is being used to tell the story of the city’s farming history, which made possible Boise’s growth into the thriving metropolis it is today.

In 1862, brothers Tom and Frank Davis headed west from Ohio, hoping to strike gold in Idaho. Tom purchased and developed thou-sands of acres of agricultural property in the Boise area and helped map out a blueprint of the city. When Tom’s wife, Julia, passed away in 1907, he deeded the 89-acre Julia Davis Regional Park to the city in her memory.

Now, with the help of the Julia Davis Park - Second Century Coalition—a volunteer organization led by Diane Myklegard, a descendant of Tom and Julia Davis—the park will be home to a series of public art installa-tions designed to celebrate its history.

“When I first started working for the city, I didn’t really know who Julia Davis was,” said Karen Bubb, public arts manager at the Boise City Department of Arts and History. “I feel like over time, we’ve added things that tell that story to the public so they can have a better sense of what’s happened to make the park.”

The 2012 addition of the Agriculture Pavilion was the first step in a series of changes slated for Julia Davis Park. Other artistic additions include a Grand Plaza, a History Walk and a series of small towers, called bollards, which will high-light the city’s historic landmarks.

Local artist Ward Hooper has been involved in the planning and design process for many of the new elements. Hooper said the designs incorporate park-wide agricultural themes, with an emphasis on com-memorating the apple orchard that once occupied the park.

“The bollards are representative of tree trunks. They’re on a grid similar to what an orchard would be,” said Hooper. “These bollards come up out of the ground and stand about 3 feet tall, and on top of them, you’ll be able to see a pic-ture of a past building that used to exist—such as the Natatorium or the old Ada County Courthouse. It’ll tell a little bit about the city’s beginning and growth.”

Hooper also designed a bronze medallion that will serve as the centerpiece of the Grand Plaza, which is intended to create a hub be-tween the Rose Garden and Zoo Boise.

“It’s envisioned to be halfway between what Julia Davis Park is now and what the Grove is—it’s a place for people to meet and have events and to celebrate the history of the beginning of the city,” said Hooper. “The center would be the most polished part of a big courtyard starting with the bronze, which represents a seed of the city. It ripples out from there with paths representing roots of the tree. There’s another pathway called the History Walk that will branch off toward the river. That will be lined with little nodes shaped like leaves, which will tell a story starting with the Davis family and all these important agricul-

tural things that the city was built on.”

The Agriculture Pavilion will grow as well. New public art pieces are planned to be added to the pavilion, including a laser-etched wheat field in the building’s gable, picnic tabletops designed by area students and a 7-foot-tall, three-dimensional map of the Gem State, conceived and designed by metalworker Irene Deely.

“We’re taking satellite im-ages to make a three-dimensional, topographical image of the map of Idaho. I’ll go in and embellish that to make some of the different areas that are more well-known kind

of accentuated. … The map invites people to come in and move their hands over the moun-tains and across the rivers,” said Deely.

With the exception of one city-funded piece in the Cancer Survivors’ Plaza in the east end of Julia Davis, all of the planned art projects will be supported by grants and donations; the Second Century Coalition is soliciting contri-butions independent of the city. Though total funding needs won’t be known until designs are finalized, project coordinator Ben Gin said plans are moving forward.

“The Grand Plaza and the Agriculture Pavilion are considered Phase One. Phase One has been under way for the last three or four years and will probably be completed in the next two,” Gin said. “For the time being, I think Phase One is really coming together pretty well. We’re over halfway done with our fundraising needs for Phase One. It’s definitely a sliding timeline based on incoming funds.”

Gin hopes to begin installation of the Idaho map in October. The timeline

for construction of the Plaza, History Walk and bol-

lards is still in the air.“We won’t see

any major construc-tion projects like

the restroom and pavilion were last year,” said Toby Norton, city parks development project manager. “We’re advancing on plans. Depending on how

funding goes for that, we would like to be in construction by the end of sum-

mer or fall.”For those involved in the park’s facelift,

public art is a natural part of Julia Davis’ continuing growth and development.

“All the artwork is really highly integrated into the structures and the landscape. It’s really meant to be part of the whole park and not something that stands alone,” said Bubb.

“We see Julia Davis as the cultural-type park. It has an art museum and a history museum and the zoo, so this ties in very nicely with that, in contrast to something like Ann Morrison Park, which is more of a sports field-type park,” added Norton. “We see it as a cultural hub, so adding art to that is obvi-ously a good fit.”

To Hooper, these additions are a way to celebrate the Davis family, the park and its history, which have all helped build Boise into the city it has become.

“This is a storytelling opportunity,” Hoop-er said. “It’s a story that’s never really been told in one place. People can come and stand on the piece of property that the city started from and have the whole story told in a cool, interactive and artistic way. As the city grows, the park needs to grow with it.”

GENEROUS GRANTS AND FOUND FRAGMENTS

Boise Art Museum announced March 19 that it has received a $150,000 grant from the Laura Moore Cunningham Foundation, which will help the museum present three new exhibitions over the next three years.

“This grant will ensure that people in our community have access to high caliber works of art that would not otherwise be available to them in Idaho,” said BAM Executive Director Melanie Fales.

The World Stage by artist Kehinde Wiley will run June 11 through Oct. 27 and showcase portraits of people from differing religious backgrounds in Israel. Folding Pa-per: The Infinite Possibilities of Origami, will run Oct.24, 2015, through Jan. 17, 2016, and will highlight origami from the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles and the nonprofit International Arts and Art-ists organization in Washington, D.C.

The third exhibit has yet to be an-nounced.

Speaking of big announcements, Boise Philharmonic disclosed that its new execu-tive director, Sandra Culhane, will take the reins Wednesday, May 1.

In an interview with BW, Interim Execu-tive Director Tony Boatman described the Phil’s financial woes and his attempts to put the organization back on course. The Phil has been searching for a director since Tom Bennett’s resignation Aug. 16, 2012.

Culhane has served as executive director of the Billings Symphony Orchestra in Bill-ings, Mont., since 2005, following work as orchestra operations manager of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.

Moving from Boise’s future to its past, the Sesqui-Shop storefront is looking for help building April’s exhibit.

Preservation Idaho has issued a call for fragments from Boise’s lost buildings, such as loose bricks from the historic Eastman Building or a rusting door knob from the original Boise City Hall. Remnants of Boise will showcase those pieces to help tell the story of Boise over the last 150 years.

“We are looking for items from buildings in Boise that are no longer standing, such as sandstone, gargoyles, carved beams, hardware like door knobs, faucets, light fixtures, windows, landscape elements, signs,” according to Preservation Idaho.

These bits of “architectural ephemera” will reveal the missing pieces of Boise’s skyline. Those interested should contact Amy Pence-Brown with Preservation Idaho at [email protected] or the Sesqui-Shop at 208-433-5670.

Contributions will be part of the exhibi-tion, which opens First Thursday, April 4.

SCREEN/THE BIG SCREEN

STOKER IS A GRISLY

PLEASUREThese family values we

can live withoutGEORGE PRENTICE

Nearly 45 minutes into Stoker—a buttoned-down mystery about the unkempt morals of a mysterious Tennessee clan—it hits you like a shovel to the head: Of course, it’s Hitchcock!

The master of suspense would have cov-eted this film’s disturbingly good intensity: tightly fitted with slow and steady clues, an extremely attractive case and a trunk full of sexual tension. Hitchcock has been dead 30-plus years, but screenwriter Wentworth Miller has clearly been influenced by Psycho and Shadow of a Doubt in this stylish exer-cise in idiosyncrasy.

“We are not responsible for what we have come to be,” narrates the barely legal India (Mia Wasikowska) in Stoker’s opening frames. “And to be an adult is to be free.”

But freedom is far from India Stoker’s 18-year-old reach; she is a prisoner of her days. Following an unhealthy adolescent at-tachment to her father Richard (Dermot Mulroney), India’s identity is forever lost when he dies in a fiery auto wreck. Meanwhile sloe-eyed mother Evelyn (Nicole Kidman), too perfect in her clothes and makeup, sleepwalks through her grief.

“Richard lived a life that honored integ-rity, openness and honesty,” says a minister

at the patriarch’s funeral. But honesty and the family’s darkest secrets have been locked away in tiny boxes in Richard’s study, left untouched since his untimely death. Trust me, you won’t like what you see.

Meanwhile, India and Evelyn are taken aback by an unexpected house guest: Charlie Stoker (Matthew Goode), Richard’s rarely spoken of younger brother. Charlie’s easy

manner and tanned good looks bring a glow to India and Eve-lyn’s pale existence. In fact, India’s wardrobe of black soon evolves into virgin white. And India’s virginity—in a perfect Hitchcockian psychosexual theme—is indeed at risk as she

wades into the treacherous waters of sensual-ity for the first time. One particular scene, in a shower no less, is certain to be contro-

versial and will leave you uneasy for days. When Charlie slides a goblet across a table to India for her first taste of wine, telling her the vintage was fine because it was the same year she was born, the film oozes with a perfectly malignant sophistication.

Miller’s screenplay of Stoker was included on the film industry’s infamous Black List of the best unproduced screenplays. Behind the lens was South Korea’s Park Chan-wook for his first English-language effort. Chan-wook, despite the violence in his previous Vengeance Trilogy, has been heralded as one of the Far East’s most popular directors and has twice won top awards at the Cannes Film Festival.

But Stoker is less violent and more just a good, disturbing thriller. It’s Kidman’s best work in years and a real star-turn for Wasikowska. Original music from Philip Glass and cinematography from Chung-hoon Chung are also expert. Ultimately, the film is a grisly pleasure, but bring a sweater: You’ll feel a chill that you just can’t shake.

Nicole Kidman plays Eveyln Stoker and Mia Wasikowska stars as India Stoker in this disturbingly good film.

REC

Most of us have good days and bad days. Greg Patton—the effervescent Boise State University tennis coach—has good days. Really good days. And Friday, April 5, he’ll probably jump out of his skin.

“I’m on pins and needles,” Patton told Boise Weekly in late January about the chance that Boise could play host to the Davis Cup Quarterfinals.

“You’re looking at the happiest man, not in Boise, not in Idaho, but in the entire United States right here, right now,” Patton told BW a few of weeks later, when U.S. Tennis Association officials flew into town to officially announce that Boise had secured the Davis Cup compe-tition.

When the three-day tournament gets under way at Boise State’s Taco Bell Arena, Patton said he’ll feel like he’s at the rock concert of his dreams.

“I know I told you before that I likened the Davis Cup to Woodstock. Why don’t we start calling it ‘Fuzzstock?’” he said with twinkling eyes and laughter usually reserved for a kid who can’t wait until Christmas.

Linking Patton to the Davis Cup is a bit like playing “six degrees of Greg Patton” (with apologies to Kevin Bacon): Patton was instrumental in securing Boise as a site selec-tion; the matches will be played a few steps away from what Patton calls his “office,” the Steve Appleton Tennis Center; and Patton once served as a Davis Cup coach, helping to cultivate some of the best players the game ever knew: the legendary Pete Sampras, Sam Querrey (who is leading this year’s U.S. singles matches), and Jim Courier, four-time Grand Slam winner and current U.S. Davis Cup coach.

“I coached Jim Courier when he used to play Davis Cup, and in 1998, he came here to Boise to play an exhibition match to raise funds for the Appleton Tennis Center,” re-membered Patton. “And I looked at Jim and told him, ‘One day, you’re going to be the Davis Cup captain and you’re going to bring that team back here to Boise.”

Courier told Boise Weekly he was 15 when he first met Patton.

“He was my coach when I was in Junior Davis Cup,” said Courier. “Coach Patton is … what’s the word? … He’s a pied piper. He has so much energy and enthusiasm for life. And there’s no doubt he’s instrumental in bringing this to Boise.”

But Courier had a large say in the U.S. team’s selection of Boise to play host to the quarterfinals.

“We sat down and looked at all of the

options that could give the U.S. team the best possible advantage against a real difficult [Serbian] team,” said Courier. “And high al-titude does some interesting things to a tennis ball. The ball moves through the court faster, it bounces higher, and that’s pretty good for a very offensive player. It will take a little time for our players to adjust to the conditions, so we’re going to try to get to Boise fairly early to adjust to the altitude.”

Courier told BW that he expected to bring his team, assistant coaches and support staff into the Treasure Valley as early as Saturday, March 30, to give his players a full week at

Idaho’s altitude.However, Courier

wasn’t eager to share his strategy in going against Serbia’s Novak Djokovic, the No. 1 player in the world.

“I can’t tell you; I just can’t tell you,” he said. “That’s the kind of stuff we share with

the team in private as we’re practicing.”And while the task of facing

Djokovic—winner of six of the last nine Grand Slam events—is daunt-ing, Courier said he fully expects the atmosphere in Taco Bell Arena to be in his team’s favor.

“I think the best way to describe the vibe is that it’s going to be like a college sporting event where there’s a very partisan crowd,” Courier told BW. “Tennis is typi-cally known to be a pretty quiet sport, and while we don’t expect our fans to cheer during play, we do expect and even encourage a very partisan crowd. We’re playing for our coun-try. The umpire

doesn’t call ‘Game to Sam Querrey.’ He calls ‘Game to the United States.’”

This year, 122 nations are entered in the Davis Cup competition—the largest annual international team event in the world. With competition dating back to 1900, the United States has won 32 Davis Cup titles, more than any other nation.

“National pride and home court advan-tage is so much a part of this competition,” said Jeff Ryan, senior director of team events for the USTA.

The USTA announced March 26 that its team would include Sam Querrey and John Isner representing the United States in singles competition and the Bryan brothers–Bob and Mike—playing doubles.

Meanwhile, Serbia’s Djokovic said he’s looking forward to a trip to Boise.

“I have some friends who live in Sun Valley,” Djokovic told reporters in Miami, where he was playing the Sony Open. “I know that Boise is famous for its potatoes, so I’m looking forward to some good mashed potatoes there.”

Courier said a Djokovic-led Serbian team is “one of the best squads in the

Davis Cup draw.”“When you have the No.

1 player in the world, that’s a nice place to start,” said Courier. “Novak is setting

the standard. But Davis Cup is Davis Cup. And our guys will be

able to step up.”Patton added that the

Davis Cup experience is a very unique dynamic for

a professional tennis player, who tradi-

tionally strives for personal glory.

“In Davis Cup, they’re playing for each other and,

above all, they’re play-ing for their country,” said Pat-ton. “Soon enough, something I’m so in love with

is going to be here in my home with my friends and family. I just can’t wait.”

BEGINNINGS AND ENDINGSSpring is a time of transition—and not

just when it comes to weather.After Lululemon recently closed up shop

in downtown Boise, another outdoors-ori-ented retailer is heading out. Helly Hansen owner Rachel Link is closing her BODO shop by the end of April.

Link said the decision to close came not because the store isn’t holding its own, but because of a change in the relationship be-tween Helly Hansen and its licensees. Link received a letter several months ago stating that Helly Hansen was terminating it agree-ments with all businesses that licensed the right to use the Helly Hansen name.

Link said she didn’t want to take on the cost of rebranding her business—which has been in BODO for more than six years—and decided to close the doors and pursue other professional opportunities.

And while it’s a loss to the downtown Boise business community, it means the chance at some deals as the store clears out its inventory. Merchandise is discounted by 20-50 percent, and Link said there may be bigger sales as closing day approaches.

Moving from endings to beginnings, Sun Valley’s own champion mountain biker Rebecca Rusch, aka the Queen of Pain, is starting her own 100-mile gravel race in September.

The race will be a benefit for the Wood River Bike Coalition, PeopleForBikes.org and World Bicycle Relief and take racers through some of central Idaho’s best scenery. But here’s the catch: The ride isn’t really open to the public—yet.

The inaugural Rebecca’s Private Idaho will be for industry pros only, although sev-eral public entry spots will be awarded via the race’s Facebook and Twitter pages.

Want to be one of the lucky few who gets to ride along? Check out the race website at rebeccasprivateidaho.com.

If you’re looking for more of a sure-bet bike ride, registration for the 16th annual Boise to Idaho City Mountain Bike Tour is now open.

The two-day supported ride is set for Sat-urday, June 15-Sunday, June 16. Advanced registration is $100 for both days or $80 for one, but jumps to $120 for two-day or $100 for one-day after Friday, May 31. Reg-istration will be open online through Friday, June 14.

For more details, visit mtbikeidaho.com.Since we’re talking spring, let’s talk

GEORGE PRENTICE

Some of the world’s tennis elite will vie for the Davis Cup in Boise Friday, April 5-Sunday, April 7.


My wife won’t let me raise rabbits as food in the back yard. She’s of the opinion that it will be traumatic for her and our children to nurture the little fluff balls and then slaughter them for dinner.

She definitely has a point; rabbits are a cultural phenomenon. From the Easter Bunny to Thumper to Peter Rabbit to Bugs Bunny, rabbits are seen as cute and cuddly pets, not supper.

Not that rabbits don’t make excellent table fare. They are lean and healthy white meat. According to rabbitbreeders.us, rabbit has 800 calories per pound of meat, less fat than chicken or pork, and about half the cholesterol of chicken or pork. Rabbit is one of the most sustainable and sanitary meats available on the market and is often referred to as “the other, other white meat.”

Daren Withers, owner of The Lucky Four Farm in Marsing, is currently raising about 30 adult rabbits and selling them monthly to a company in Washington for high-end pet food. He would prefer his meat go to people, but said he’s unable to sell his rabbit meat to consumers.

“Idaho is a really difficult place to process rabbits for human consumption. … It considers rab-bits the same as wild game meat,” said Withers. “They won’t let me process my rabbits for the same reason that they won’t let me shoot a deer and sell it to you.”

Withers is refer-ring to the ban on the commercial sale of wild-hunted game meat laid down in the early 20th century. These laws are what protect deer, ducks and other game animals from being shot and sold on the open market. Because do-mestic rab-bits are still classified as a game animal, Withers is unable to sell his meat directly to the public.

“If I had

the time and the knowledge, I would like to change that law. Rabbits are a domestic animal,” he said.

Withers can, however, sell rabbits “on the hoof” to meat consumers, they just have to do the killing and butchering themselves.

For those whose families don’t object, raising rabbits is fairly easy—a small pen, a grow light and some food is about all it takes for a successful operation. Books and other materials are readily available for those who seek them out.

According to Novella Carpenter, author of Farm City and the forthcoming book Gone Feral, “Rabbits are the new chickens” for urban growers. They are quiet, too, which is a bonus.

Chef Kirt Martin, owner of the Snake River Grill in Hagerman, raises rabbits on his property near the Snake River.

“I raise rabbits for the meat,” Martin said during a meeting that started with a smoked sturgeon sampling and ended with a home-cured bacon tasting. “They taste like chickens used to when I was a kid.”

Martin annually raises a brood of about 24 meat rabbits that he braises down into carnitas and then bags and freezes for his family. He even uses salad scraps from the

restaurant as rabbit food. “We just have a little bucket I take home

each day and feed my rabbits with, you know, little lettuce ends and carrot tops,” he said. “It’s not economical, I just love the taste.”

But not all rabbit-raising is cream and butter. My cousin John Smith bought one of his children a breeding pair of Holland Lop rabbits to show at 4-H events. The goal was to sell the young rabbits as pets or food and the money would subsidize the care of the animals.

Unfortunately, his rabbits did do what rabbits do, and made a large number of babies. But the mothers ignored them and then ate them. (This is, apparently, a com-

mon occurrence among rabbits.) So the brood that they were hoping to start is now lacking

in the baby department. “I’m into this now a cou-

ple hundred dollars; ain’t no way we are making our

money back,” Smith said. But being hopeful with rab-

bits and breeding is understand-able—they really are remarkable

meat-makers. According to the website rabbitbreeders.us, a single

rabbit doe can produce 300 pounds of meat in a single year.

“The best commercial does can pro-duce 15 or 16 kits per litter, which grow

out to five pounds by 10 weeks of age,” the website states.

Withers raises and breeds New Zealand white rabbits.

“One of the other cool things is their food-conversion rate: It is only about three pounds of feed per one pound of rabbit,” Withers said.

Compare that to beef, which has a conver-sion ratio of 9-to-1, and you can see the economics of rabbit production. Cheap to feed, low space impact and healthy meat.

Idaho meat rabbit raisers even have their own club, the Idaho Meat Rabbit Growers Association, imrga.org. The club offers online forums that help with growing, breeding and selling rabbits. It also lists contact information for meat rabbit growers.

I’m thinking the best bet for convincing my wife to let me

raise rabbits is accurate nam-ing of the creatures. Instead

of Fluffy and Thumper, I’ll go for more classic French names like Pate and Stew. So, what do you say, hon?

OUT OF THE HAT AND INTO THE POTRabbit is a healthy and sustainable meat, so why are we so averse to eating it?

BEERGUZZLER/DRINK

FROM THE FARMHOUSEIn an age when limited sanitation

resulted in suspect water supplies, farm-house ales were brewed to provide a safer alternative for thirsty field workers. Originat-ing in rural Belgium, they were typically low in alcohol and designed to refresh on a hot summer day. This week’s trio combines a nice level of complexity with an easy-drinking style.

THE COMMONS BREWERY URBAN FARMHOUSE ALE

A hazy, lemon yel-low in the glass, this brew is topped by a paper-white head that collapses quickly but leaves a nice lacing. The fruity nose is col-ored by soft hops and coriander, while the floral palate is marked by bright citrus and apricot with a touch of white pepper. Light carbonation makes this a quaffable and refreshing ale from this Portland, Ore.-based brewery. It comes in a large 750 ml. bottle perfect for sharing.

HOF TEN DORMAAL BLOND

This unfiltered brew pours a cloudy, dark straw color with an amazingly persistent three-finger head the color and consistency of sea foam. As Matt, the Boise Co-op Beer Guy, put it, the “nose is a study in rustic complexity.” You get a mix of yeasty grain, citrus, orchard fruit, light hops and smooth malt. The beer is both rich and refreshing on the palate with creamy green apple, fresh bread and just a hint of spicy orange zest on the deliciously dry finish. This is an outstanding Belgian farmhouse ale.

MIKKELLER/STILL-WATER TWO GYPSIES OUR SIDE

This collaboration between two innovative gypsy brewers, Mikkel Borg Bjergson and

Brian Strumke, was created at Maryland’s Dog Brewing. It’s a golden pour with an explosive, off-white, porous head that tops the glass but collapses quickly. You get a touch of herb and spice on the nose along with resiny hops and citrus. This is definitely the most hop-driven of the trio with a nice core of yeasty citrus fruit and a clean, dry finish. This beer is a deliciously unique take on the style.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): I was too lazy to write your horoscope this week, so I went to a website that hawks bumper stickers and copied a few of their slogans to use as your “advice.” Here you go. 1. Never follow a rule off a cliff. 2. Have the courage to honor your peculiarities. 3. It’s never too late to have a rebellious adoles-cence. 4. Criticize by creating. 5. Never make anything simple and efficient when it can be elabo-rate and wonderful. 6. Complex problems have simple, easy-to-understand, morally clear, wrong answers. April Fool! I lied. I wasn’t lazy at all. I worked hard to ensure that all the suggestions I just pro-vided are in strict accordance with the astrological gestalt.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It’s a perfect time to watch the cult classic film Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Alien, Flesh Eating, Hellbound, Zombified Living Dead. It will provide you with just the right inspiration as you deal with your own problems. April Fool! I lied. Don’t you dare watch any horror movies. You’re in a phase when you can make dramatic progress in transforming long-standing dilemmas—but only if you surround yourself with posi-tive, uplifting influences.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The coming week will be an excel-lent time to wash dishes, clean bathrooms, scrub floors, vacuum carpets, wash windows, do laun-dry and clean the refrigerator. The more drudge work you do, the bet-ter you’ll feel. April Fool! I lied. The truth is, you now have astrological license to minimize your participa-tion in boring tasks like the ones I named. It’s high time for you to seek out the most interesting work and play possible.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You know what would be a really cool prank to pull off this April Fool’s Day? Arrange to have rubber tires airlifted into a dormant volcano, then set them on fire. Smoke will pour out the top. Everyone who lives nearby will think the volcano is getting ready to explode. Don’t forget to videotape the event for YouTube. Later, when you reveal the hoax, your video will go viral and you’ll become a celebrity. April Fool! I don’t really think you should try this prank. It’s old hat. Back in 1974, a guy named Porky Bickar did it to Alaska’s Mt. Edgecumbe. Here’s my real oracle for you: It is a good time to boost your visibility by doing something funny. Or to build your brand by being mischievous. Or to demon-strate your power by showing off your sense of humor.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In the animated TV show The Simpsons, 10-year-old Bart is constantly get-ting into trouble because of the monkey business he loves to per-petrate. His teachers punish him by compelling him to write correc-tive declarations on the classroom blackboard. It so happens that some of those apologetic state-ments should be coming out of your mouth in the coming week, Leo. They include the following: “I will not strut around like I own the place. I will not claim that I am deliciously saucy. I will not instigate revolution. I will not trade pants with others. I will not carve gods. I will not Xerox my butt. I will not scream for ice cream.” April Fool! I lied. The truth is, you should consider doing things like that. And don’t apologize.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The sport of ferret legging is an endur-ance contest. Participants vie to determine who can last longest as a live ferret runs loose inside their pants. The current record is five hours and 26 minutes, held by a retired British miner. But I predict that a Virgo will soon break that mark. Could it be you? April Fool! I misled you. I don’t really think you should put a ferret in your pants, not even to win a contest. It is possible, however, that there will soon be a pleasurable commotion happening in the area below your waist. And I suspect that you will handle it pretty well.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Risk being a crazed fool for love, Libra. Get as wild and extreme as you’ve ever been if it helps you rustle up the closeness you’re hungry for. Get down on your knees and beg, or climb a tree with a megaphone and profess your passion. April Fool! I was exaggerating a little. It’s true that now is an excellent time to be aggressive about going after the intimate connection you want. But I suggest you accom-plish that by being ingenious and imaginative rather than crazy and extreme.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): British comedy team Monty Python did a sketch in which a policeman apprehends a criminal. The bad guy says, “Yes, I did it, but society is to blame.” And the cop says, “Right! We’ll arrest them instead.” You should adopt this attitude, Scorpio. Blame everyone else but yourself for your problems and flaws. April Fool! I lied. In fact, the truth is the opposite of what I said. It’s time to take more responsibility for your actions. Bravely accept the consequences of what you’ve done—with your sense of humor fully engaged and a lot of compassion for yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Banzai skydiving is a step beyond ordinary skydiving. To do it, you hurl your folded-up parachute out of the airplane, wait a while, and

then leap into mid-air yourself. If all goes well, you free fall in the direction of your parachute and catch up to it. Once you grab it, you strap it on and open the chute, ideally before you hit the earth. This is the kind of beyond-ballsy activity that would be perfect for you right now. April Fool! In truth, I don’t recommend banzai skydiving now or ever. Plain old skydiving is fine, though. The same principle applies in relation to any adventurousness you’re considering: Push yourself, yes, but not to an absurd degree.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Should you relocate to Kazakhstan and grow sunflowers? Is it time to think about getting a job in Uruguay and living there for the next 10 years? Can you see yourself building your dream home in Morocco on a bluff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean? I suggest you spend some quality time thinking way, way outside the box about where you belong on this Earth. April Fool! I went a bit overboard in my recommendations. It is true that you should brainstorm about the kind of home you want to create and enjoy in the future. But that probably means revising and refining your current situation rather than leaving it all behind and starting over.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your brain has a bigger capacity than you realize. According to pro-fessor of psychology Paul Reber, it can hold the equivalent of 3 million hours’ worth of television shows. As I’m sure you know, your brain is not even close to being full of that much data. And in accordance with the current astrological omens, I suggest you cram in as much new material as possible. April Fool! I told you a half-truth. While it’s correct that now is an excellent time to pour more stuff into your brain, you should be highly discerning about what you allow in there. Seek out the richest ideas, the most stimulating information, the best stories. Avoid trivial crap.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): July 2012 was a sad time in the history of mythic creatures. The National Ocean Service, a U.S. government agency, made a for-mal proclamation that there are no such things as mermaids. But I predict those stuffy know-it-alls will soon get a big shock, when a Piscean scientist presents evi-dence that mermaids are indeed real. April Fool! I was exaggerat-ing. I don’t really foresee the discovery of a flesh-and-blood mermaid—by a Pisces or anyone else. I do, however, suspect that your tribe is now highly adept at extracting useful revelations and inspirations from dreams, visions, and fantasies, includ-ing at least one that involves a coven of Buddhist Ninja clown mermaids.

PETS

BW LOST PET

LOST GREY MALE CAT$500 reward. Our cat “Owen” has

gone missing. He is a 3 years old, neutered, male. He is com-pletely grey and has long hair and yellow eyes. He had a plaid patterned collar on when he was last seen with his information and he is microchipped. His collar isn’t the easiest to see because he is so fury. He was last seen on March 15th. If you have any information good or bad please contact Sara at 284-8819. If you live in the Jordan’s Land-ing neighborhood off Collister please check your sheds, trail-ers or garages to see if he could be stuck somewhere. All help is greatly appreciated. Thank you. We love this cat very much and are offering a $500 reward for his recovery.
