BEACON LIGHT ROAD CORRIDOR

BY PATRICIA MINKIEWICZ

Eagle City is fortunate to be adjacent to the unique northern rural Area of Impact along the Beacon Light Road corridor between Highways 55 & 16. Much of the area is Ada County land and includes large acreage properties, farms, ranches, vineyards, and undeveloped land abutting the foothills. Residents want to keep it that way.

The road’s unusual name came about during the early development of airmail delivery in the west. “Beacon light” refers to the lighted towers that served as beacons for nighttime airmail drops starting in the middle 1920s.

On May 15, 1918, a rudimentary partial airmail service in the United States began with the joining of the operations of the Post Office and War Departments. Mail was flown during daylight and then transferred to trains for slow night travel to farther destinations. The intended goal was to speed up delivery by creating a system where airplanes could travel the entire mail route, day or night.

Years went by before Congress passed a bill in February 1925 authorizing the USA Post Office to award airmail contracts to private companies. In October 1925, Walter T. Varney, a Boise flying school instructor, was awarded the contract to begin Air Mail service in Idaho. Varney Airlines (later United Airlines) was assigned the difficult mountain and desert route of Pasco, WA to the Boise area, then on to Elko, NV.

12

TA L K I N G P O I N T S

Varney hired Leon D. Cuddeback (1898 - 1984) to pilot the first scheduled civilian airmail commercial flight in the United States on April 6, 1926. Idaho soon became an important part of the new western airmail system.

Night flights became possible a year later with the installation of bright rotating beacon lights placed atop tall steel towers across various points throughout Idaho and some adjacent western states. The towers varied from 9 to 102 feet tall, based upon the terrain where they were placed. Beacon towers generally were located at ten-mile intervals and were visible for miles. Two small, fixed red lights accompanied the beacon and would flash a Morse code alphabet letter to tell the pilot his exact location.

The Eagle area beacon tower was located at the corner of Eagle Road and what now is known as Beacon Light Road.

Over the years, the speed of airplanes increased and the tall nightlights were removed due to their obsolescence starting in the 1940s after WWII. Only Montana managed to save some of its beacon towers. ¢ Further reading: www.airmailpioneers.org/content/milestone

When Gary Multanen first set foot in Bacquet’s deli in the Boise Towne Square mall in 2008, he had no idea the lifelong friendship - and partnership - that was about to blossom. Gary was in need of a few last minute Christmas gifts when he engaged with the deli owner and world renowned chef, Franck Bacquet.

A year after their initial meeting, during a regular visit to Bacquet’s deli, Gary mentioned to Franck that his daughter was engaged.

Rather than offering, Franck told Gary he would cater the event and Gary didn’t argue. To this day, guests of his daughter’s wedding still comment on the delectable food.

“I was interested in picking up a few gift certificates for some of my employees but the only denomination he had was $100, which was more than I intended to spend. I learned a lot about Franck right away when he wouldn’t negotiate a lower amount,” Gary recalls with a smile.

In 2015, fate took this blossoming friendship further. Gary and his wife, Susie, stopped in at Angell’s Bar and Grill in downtown Boise where Franck was working as a chef. The Multanens met Franck’s new fiancee, Michele, who immediately connected with Gary as they learned they were both from neighboring small towns in northern Oregon.

As a long-time supporter and current board member and Treasurer of a non-profit called Project Amigo, Gary is passionate about the foundation’s mission to support the education of disadvantaged and marginalized children in rural Mexico.

15

“Our goal is to provide families with fresh meals that they can enjoy, possibly even save as leftovers,” says Michele.

A few years later, when the Bacquets opened their restaurant in Eagle in June 2018, they quickly developed a loyal customer base and the Multanens of course became one of their many regular customers. But the couples’ friendship still deepened further.

As a long-time supporter and current board member and Treasurer of a non-profit called Project Amigo, Gary is passionate about the foundation’s mission to support the education of disadvantaged and marginalized children in rural Mexico. By providing enrichment activities, materials and supplies, educational scholarships, healthcare services, and humanitarian services to locals of the region, Project Amigo supports roughly 600 youth in Colima, Mexico each year. Many children go on to obtain an education at the University of Colima or one of the local trade schools, and almost all of them remain in Mexico after obtaining their education.

Gary’s passion for Project Amigo intrigued Michele and before she knew it, she was signed up to join Gary and a dozen other volunteers from the Rotary Club of Boise Sunrise on the next volunteer trip to Cofradía de Suchitlán in March 2020.

“The village was different from what I expected,” Michele recalls from the trip. “It was very rustic and peaceful. The Project Amigo hacienda is situated near the center of the town and in the evenings, we would meander down the streets, seeing the locals sitting outside their homes, vis-

16

iting with each other and smiling at us as we passed by. It was easy to see why Ted Rose and Susan Hill, the founders of Project Amigo, fell in love with Cofradía de Suchitlán over 35 years ago.”

After a week of hard work on construction projects plus rewarding time spent reading to the children and building relationships with the locals, Michele returned from the trip feeling energized and grateful for the opportunity.

But upon her return in early March, the Bacquets did not expect they would soon be the ones needing support from their community. As the COVID-19 pandemic spread, Franck and Michele chose to keep Bacquet’s Restaurant open as long as possible. With a staff of professional career servers and top cleanliness practices already in place, they knew they could continue safely serving their customers. But when they inevitably had to close their dining room doors, they were able to quickly adjust. Franck developed a new family style menu and they started offering takeout and delivery.

“Our goal is to provide families with fresh meals that they can enjoy, possibly even save as leftovers,” says Michele. “For a while, people couldn’t even get milk or chicken in the grocery stores so we knew we had to keep serving our customers complete, quality meals.”

Since Bacquet’s Restaurant had access to supplies that had become unavailable in stores, they even began delivering staples and other necessities to customers who needed them, including toilet paper, flour, and yeast.

Bacquet’s loyal customer base is what has enabled them to remain in business through the COVID-19 pandemic. That, and of course a little help from a good friend. To support their new delivery business, Michele found herself in need of a reliable delivery boy and of course Gary stepped right in to help.

“It’s actually been a great experience,” remarks Gary. “Every afternoon, Tuesday through Saturday, I show up ready to help.” He also reflects on how many repeat customers he delivers to. “I’ve been to some houses so many times now that they’ve been saved in my GPS!” But as businesses began opening in May, the Bacquets decided to wait a little longer before reopening their dining room. In the meantime, they will continue their takeout service and uphold their mission to provide fresh, high-quality meals to their loyal customers.

Maintaining Bacquet’s standards of freshness is a challenge as supply chains remain unpredictable. But once again, their friend Gary found a way to help. After he built three eight-foot planter boxes for the Bacquets, they can now grow fresh vegetables and other ingredients right on the premises of their restaurant.

At a time when we are facing new and unexpected hurdles, we can all appreciate the value of having a friend like Gary Multanen; someone selfless, resourceful, willing to pitch in any way he can. But even more important than having a friend like Gary is being a friend like Gary. Let’s keep showing up for each other. Let’s keep being selfless. And like Gary, let’s try to keep a smile on our faces while we do it. ¢

Gather and Shine Coffee and Supply Co. highlights the local goodness in Eagle

BY MCCALE ASHENBRENER PHOTOGRAPHY EMMA THOMPSON

GRAND OPENING

JULY 13TH

From the big gathering table in the Heuser’s Frontier Feathers Farm, one can see the last snows of Bogus Basin in the Boise Ridge Mountains. If you look past the chicken coop and roaming pigs you might catch a glimpse of goats Beau and Marylin and their newborn kids. Behind the house Ryan, Mel and their three children sit snugly around a roaring fire pit. This serene scene is a departure from the bustling life they led in California.

Apart from acting as co-founder and president of Paul Frank Industries for 15 years, a clothing brand sold in over 65 countries, Ryan Heuser penned an autobiography, created his podcast “Brevity Code”, and has been a TED X presenter among other endeavors.

Looking for space to breathe, Ryan, his wife Mel, and their three children uprooted their cozy life in California and found home in Idaho.

The Heusers were grateful to find space to recalibrate their lifestyle and come together as a family. “I’m a believer that nothing good happens when you’re comfortable,” reflects Ryan. “So why not go be vulnerable and learn something completely new? ...We’ve got a hobby farm that we’re all involved in as a family. Our three young kids all have farm chores to do...There’s just something awesome about being outside with the family working together as opposed to everyone indoors, in separate rooms, on electronics.”

Ryan’s entrepreneurial talent, combined with Mel’s love for design and connecting people, led them to found Coffee and Supply Co. Much more than a coffee shop, Coffee and Supply Co. will also feature local farms seasonal harvest, a General Store with gift items, housewares and apparel from hand selected brands, and of

course delicious coffee and espresso drinks as well as locally baked goods and indulgences from Catherine @savorynsweetinc. Their dream is to have Coffee and Supply Co. be a gathering place, where the community can connect through events or just hang out in the cozy, sofa-bedecked upstairs lounge. They will showcase local awesomeness from fresh berries and handpicked flowers to products from local makers and artists. “Coming to Eagle and opening ‘Coffee and Supply Co’ is a culmination of all my years in a creative driven business, along with my passion for great coffee,” says Ryan. “I couldn’t be prouder and more excited to open our spot in Eagle. As we know, Eagle is a fast-growing city with lots of expats from places like Seattle, San Francisco, LA and other metropolitan areas. I feel like we’re bringing those people something more neighborhood familiar while at the same time bringing something entirely new.”

Beyond Coffee + Supply Co., Mel started Gather Idaho with her friend Sarah Ward as a way for community to celebrate, create, and connect. “Our community project has created farm workshops, hikes, mom and me baking, crafting, beauty days, something for everyone. We partner with local businesses, brands, and individuals for each event.”

These challenging times help us to realize just how dear we hold social connection and congregation. Coffee and Supply Co. plans their grand opening July 13th and I’m sure many of us will be craving a delicious baked good and cup of coffee with friendly faces in our community. Let us all look forward to a time soon where we can gather and shine a light on all the goodness that surrounds us. ¢

THE MULTIPLE BENEFITS OF

STRENGTHENING YOUR FOUNDATION Consider this analogy: You wouldn’t build your house on a weak foundation. You’d ensure the foundation was strong enough to support it. The same logic applies to our bodies,where the skeletal system is the foundation that supports us physically in everything we do.

T

o understand the importance of the skeletal system, it’s important to understand the role of the central nervous system in regulating your body’s strength. The central nervous system regulates the physical strength of your body based upon the strength of the skeletal system.

As your skeletal system declines with age, your physical strength declines as well.

Your central nervous system will not allow your muscles to become stronger than what your skeletal system can handle. If you have ever reached a plateau in your strength training or experienced strength loss as you age, a likely reason is the weakness of your skeletal system.

HOW YOU CAN SAFELY STRENGTHEN YOUR SKELETAL SYSTEM

Your central nervous system will not allow your muscles to become stronger than what your skeletal system can handle.

We know through research that dates back to 1892 that if bone tissue receives a sufficient amount of pressure it will adapt and become stronger.

Since the 19th century, the medical community has been looking at the relationship of bone to muscle. Dr. Julius Wolff, a German anatomist and surgeon, made the discovery that bone, in a healthy person or animal, adapts to the load under which it is placed. This pressure stimulates the development of healthy new bone tissue, creating healthier and stronger bones. Now known as Wolff’s Law, he also stated that the reverse of this was true. Bones exposed to decreased pressure, or load, would become less dense and weaker.

A century later, in 2012, a research study on osteogenic loading discovered the minimum amount of pressure required to stimulate bone development is 4.2 times a person’s body weight. From this research a unique robotic musculoskeletal development system was designed to safely deliver the proper stimulus to just about anyone at any age.

This proprietary system for osteogenic loading, called Spectrum, specifically develops the foundation of your physical body, the skeletal system, both efficiently and without risk of injury.

You don’t have to lose healthy bone tissue as you age. Osteogenic loading can help you maintain strong and healthy bones for life.

BEGINNINGS Boise Couple Restores 1957 Terry Playmate Camper

A

s the Treasure Valley is pulling back the curtain and stepping out into the world after the COVID-19 shutdown, our community is filled with stories of the journeys of our neighbors during this time apart. One such story features a local couple who invested that time into fulfilling a dream.

Don and Yolanda Thayer live and work in the Boise area and love to travel. Yolanda has a business doing hair and makeup for weddings that takes her around the world, so the “on the road” experience is just a part of life. With two grown children and two dogs, the Thayer’s have had always had a goal of exploring in a vintage camper of their very own. They purchased a 1957 Terry

24

Playmate camper in August of 2019, planning to restore the vehicle and continue its history of adventures.

“I just liked the look, the style, and how it has character, and how they made things that really stay alive – going back to 1957. We just want to enjoy it. We fell in love with it, and now we’re even more in love with the way it came out,” Yolanda explained, adding “We’re calling her “La Casita” – our home away from home.”

However, work and life got in the way of the process. They worked on the camper, but there was a great deal of effort needed to bring the Playmate back to its full potential. Then,

the COVID-19 state shutdown happened. Like many other Treasure Valley residents, Don and Yolanda found themselves stuck at home without access to many of the community activities that make Boise great. So, they turned their attention back to the Playmate and got to work. From painting to décor updates, the Thayers lovingly brought the camper back to life. Along the way, Don and Yolanda discovered that even the smallest changes made a huge difference in the character of the Playmate.

“I think just painting everything white to make it look so much bigger, and clean. The color that we bought was a cream, orange/peach color so painting everything made it pop and look so much bigger,” Yolanda explained.

The restored camper features a more modern rustic feel. Bright and homey details round out the renovation.

In addition to the fresh coat of paint and modern backsplash, the Thayers wanted to bring classic touches to the motif. They sourced wood from a 100-year-old local barn, and curtains accented with Don’s late mother’s thread. Every inch of the camper has a history, and the Thayers have incorporated their own additions to the story.

Now that the camper is fully restored, Don and Yolanda are looking forward to experiencing Idaho from the road.

They are planning visits to the Sawtooth National Forest area, Sun Valley, Redfish Lake, and Coeur d’Alene.

For the Thayers, the transition out of the shutdown is an analogy of the journey they’ve taken with the camper and their future adventures in the Playmate.

With the surge in RV camping adventures as the vacation of choice for local residents, Yolanda has advice following the experience of renovating their dream camper: “Make it your home, put your personality into it. Make it comfortable enough that when you take it camping, you can enjoy it while you’re in there. And have patience - it took about three months to complete the project. It takes a lot of work but the outcome is amazing.” ¢

Every inch of the camper has a history, and the Thayers have incorporated their own additions to the story.

Now More Than Ever, We Must Think Eagle First

BY MONICA PIERCE PHOTOGRAPHY EMMA THOMPSON

The concept of shopping local and the benefits it brings to a city, is not new. But shopping locally has gone from being a good idea to being imperative, as our economy recovers from the impacts of COVID-19.

“We’ve always encouraged Eagle residents to shop locally, even before the pandemic,” remarks Eagle Mayor Jason Pierce, sitting six feet away from me in the chambers of Eagle City Hall. “Not only is it the right thing to do to support the livelihoods of our neighbors but it makes so much economic sense,” Mayor Pierce adds.

26

According to The Andersonville Study of Retail Economics, for every $100 spent within Eagle, $68 is recirculated back into the city. That number drops to $43 when spent at franchises and national chains as opposed to locally owned businesses.

The income you generate when you shop at local businesses is returned to the community via what’s known as the Multiplier Effect. The wages a business pays its employees are further circulated within the community when those employees spend those earnings, and local taxes the business pays are reinvested into the city via improvement projects, infrastructure,

funding for emergency services, and more.

Even if prices at a locally owned business are slightly higher than those at a national chain, the additional cost is ultimately returned via the Multiplier Effect.

Also, as local businesses succeed, they hire more employees, boosting the city’s employment which has many additional positive effects on the community.

Furthermore, shopping locally has environmental benefits. Rather than driving to Meridian or downtown Boise, staying in Eagle saves gas and reduces your impact on the environment, not to mention saves you time and stress from traffic.

For all of these reasons, the benefits of shopping locally are obvious. So why, then, do we have to keep reminding ourselves to do it?

“It’s kind of a habit we have to build up,” says Mayor Pierce. “When we have a need or a desire to shop for something or to obtain some kind of service, we tend to first consider selection or big-name brands. If we instead start to first consider what is available locally, we will find that most of

Stellas

what we’re looking for is actually available right here in Eagle.”

A key to finding what we need here in Eagle is remembering that Eagle is more than just the downtown restaurants, shops, and businesses along the one mile stretch of State Street. As Mayor Pierce describes, there are many “pockets” of businesses scattered within our city limits.

es along Riverside Drive- to Eagle Island Crossing with Dickey’s BBQ and Panache Salon & Spa- all the way to the east side of town at Eagle Promenade with various businesses alongside the Home Depot and Winco, and up Highway 55 to the newer Hill Road Crossing which is home to local favorite, Coffee and Supply Co. These numerous “pockets” are all Eagle. They all return $43 to $68 back into the Eagle community for every $100 you spend with them.

In addition to the geographic diversity of Eagle businesses, Mayor Pierce adds that shopping local includes more than just the retail and food and beverage industries.

Personal and professional services like dentists and chiropractors as well as CPAs and insurance agencies, also contribute to the economic strength of our city.

Reed Cycle One way the City of Eagle is raising awareness of these various Eagle businesses is by hosting a special event on July 11. As is traditionally done for Eagle Fun Days, a portion of downtown will be closed off and numerous vendors from all over Eagle will be on site to share their products and services with the community.

But even as businesses begin to reopen in line with Governor Little’s Idaho Rebounds staged plan, some people feel unsure about the safety of entering a business at all, regardless of what city it’s in.

To support consumers’ varying feelings of readiness, Eagle business owners are following the health and safety practices recommended by the CDC such as social distancing practices and preventative measures like face coverings. As part of the reopening plan, business owners can sign a pledge that confirms their commitment to follow these guidelines and protocols.

Upon pledging, they will receive posters to display in their place of business. When you see these posters, you can be assured that those businesses have your health and safety in mind and they are fully adhering to each stage of the Idaho Rebounds plan.

Certain businesses are also maintaining practices they began earlier this year in response to the unexpected stay-home

order, such as offering online ordering and curb-side pickup. They are also increasing communication and engagement with customers through tools like email newsletters and social media, so they can remain in touch and keep customers informed, even at a distance Whenever we each feel ready to shop and procure services again, it will benefit us to do so within Eagle.

“The way I think about it,” reflects Mayor Pierce, “is that we’re taking the practice we’ve all been following of staying home with our families and we’re now extending that to our Eagle community which, in many ways, is our broader family.”

When asked about the city’s preparation for a potential “second wave” of COVID-19 cases, Mayor Pierce had a salient perspective.

“I’m confident that with everyone practicing individual responsibility, a second wave will be very unlikely. But if it does happen, we are more prepared now. As individuals and as businesses, we know what we need to do to keep each other safe and how we can keep businesses going.”

Even though the benefits of shopping locally have been well understood for a long time, we tend to be lackadaisical about doing so. But now is the time to step up our effort and be proactive about thinking Eagle first. Bringing business to our own community will support our neighbors and strengthen our city during this very crucial time. ¢

TOP GUN The real “Goose” lives in Eagle

BY MONICA PIERCE

PHOTOGRAPHY EMMA THOMPSON

In 1966, a young Thomas Dater enlisted in the U.S. Navy as a reservist, committed to five and a half years of service. As a naval aviator, he was assigned the position of backseat Radar Intercept Officer (RIO) on the Navy’s F-4 Phantom fighter jet. He was uninterested in the front seat pilot position which required an additional year of commitment.

30 30

CO M M U N I T Y

Dater was a member of the VF-11 squadron stationed in Oceana, Va. His own VF-11 squadron was established in 1950 and followed in the footsteps of other VF-11 squadrons who had flown distinguished missions in WWII and the Korean War, earning the renowned squadron the nickname The Red Rippers.

But for 23-year-old Dater, the excitement wasn’t in the history but in what laid ahead.

With the required college degree, a strong spatial orientation, and being mathematically inclined, in 1968 Dater was sent to the prestigious Top Gun school, at the time located at the Naval Air Station Miramar in San Diego, Calif.

As depicted in the famous 1986 film Top Gun starring Tom Cruise, Dater recalls his own excitement, sense of competition, and the pride he felt attending the prestigious flight school.

“We weren’t singing in bars,” Dater jokes in reference to scenes from the movie, “but the technical depiction of what it was like at Top Gun is fairly accurate.”

Dater remembers his orientation when one of the high-ranking Naval officers asked if there were any “reservist pukes” among the ranks. When Dater called out, the officer challenged him as to why he thought he deserved to be at Top Gun as a reservist.

Similar to the hot-headed pilots in the movie, Dater responded “because I am the best.” The confident aviator was referring to his in-depth knowledge of the F-4, its radar capabilities, and missile profiles. He knew how to do his job efficiently and effectively and was excited to prove himself.

Also, like Tom Cruise’s Top Gun character “Maverick” and his backseat RIO “Goose,” Dater had a call sign; a nickname given to him by his squadron. He went by Skater because he always managed to skate out of the worst duties.

As the backseat RIO, Dater was responsible for positioning the aircraft, running an intercept against an adversary, and directing the front seat pilot, or “the stick” as Dater refers to the pilot.

“It was a tough job,” Dater says. “You had to know the radar system like the back of your hand. You had to be able to read it and know in an instant what to do, to lock onto a target and receive data like airspeed and location then quickly work out geometrical maneuvers to get behind an opponent so they wouldn’t see you.”

At Top Gun, Dater flew with Murt Pelegrin, a pilot from his VF-11 squadron who he knew but had never flown with before. “He was a good stick,” recalls Dater. They flew the McDonnell Douglas

F-4 Phantom, a long-range supersonic jet interceptor and fighter-bomber designed primarily for air-to-air combat, or “dogfighting.” At the time Dater attended Top Gun, the planes they flew against were configured as the Soviet MiG-17, MiG-19, and MiG-21 which implemented tactics used by the Russians.

As the culmination of Dater’s 30 days at Top Gun, the naval aviators were to scramble and shoot down a drone launched from Point Mugu Naval Base just north of Malibu, Calif.

“I picked up the target at 45 miles, using radar with only a 50-mile capability,” remembers Dater. “My senior instructor asked me how I saw it, considering most didn’t see it until a 12-mile range. I answered him by saying again, ‘Because I am the best’.”

After completing his training at Top Gun, Dater returned to The Red Rippers to share what he’d learned with the rest of his squadron.

He served the remainder of his time in the Navy with two nine-month deployments or “cruises” in the Mediterranean. His aircraft carrier spent about half its time ported in cities including Barcelona, Cannes, Athens, and many more. While at sea, the Navy’s budget allowed each aviator 23 hours of flight time a month. With an average flight lasting two hours, it was enough to maintain proficiency. When he wasn’t flying, Dater wasn’t partying and singing in clubs like Tom Cruise’s character. The squadron had to remain ready at all times.

The Red Rippers never served in direct combat but ran intercepts against Russian planes flown out of Egypt. They provided cover over Amman, Jordan where U.S. citizens were being evacuated.

Dater recalls one flight off the coast of Israel where he picked up a flight coming out of Syria that, once locked on by Dater, turned around and flew home.

While he never saw actual combat, Dater’s Top Gun training came in handy on many occasions.

For half of one cruise, he was assigned to fly with a U.S. Air Force exchange pilot who got vertigo when flying at night without the moon, stars or a horizon to orient him. Dater relied on his instruments and his experience to see his partner through.

There was also the time when, due to a mechanical problem, Dater and his pilot were ejected on takeoff, just 100 yards in front of the ship and at an altitude of 30 feet. The next day they were put right into another plane and told to just get back on the horse.

Dater’s fondest memory is of a night he and his flight team were trying to land on the carrier in particularly bad weather. The carrier deck was pitching so badly that they were unable to land and were diverted to a NATO base located in a small Greek town called Araxos. They stayed the night and discovered the next morning that their U.S. Army brothers had painted their planes in Army insignia, in honor of the Army/Navy football game being played

back home. “We took a lot of flak when we landed back at the carrier covered in Army insignia,” laughs Dater.

Some things have changed for today’s naval aviators, as many pilots are now flying single-seat aircraft like the F/A-18E Super Hornet, carrying the pressure of flying as well as managing automated weapon systems. Dater also describes how aircraft carrier catapults are now electromagnetic instead of steam piston like they were at his time of service. Plus, as Dater observes, today’s enlisted service men and women are there because they want to be, as opposed to many Dater served alongside who were there because they were drafted. Today, those assigned to air combat truly are the best of the best.

When asked if he misses his days as a naval aviator, Dater says he misses the camaraderie but is happy that fifty years later he is still in touch with many of his Top Gun classmates and other officers from the VF-11 squadron. He doesn’t miss the deployments when he had to be away from his family for extended periods of time which is what led him to leave the Navy in 1971 when his commitment was complete.

When Dater entered back into civilian life, he wanted to move to Boise for the outdoors and peaceful lifestyle it offered. He and his wife, Victoria, now live in Eagle where Dater has worked as an insurance salesman for 47 years. “The skills I learned at Top Gun are skills I’ve used throughout my life,” reflects Dater.

Of course, for those Top Gun fans who’ve been wondering for almost 35 years what happened to that hot-headed pilot “Maverick,” mark your calendar for December 23 when Paramount Pictures is scheduled to release the long-awaited sequel, Top Gun: Maverick. ¢

A RUSTIC GLAM SHOPPING EXPERIENCE To revive your wardrobe and your mood

BY MONICA PIERCE PHOTOGRAPHY EMMA THOMPSON

Elaine Fredriksson has been selling women’s clothing through her online shop, Flor de Sol, since 2017. But on March 1 of this year, her lifelong dream of owning a boutique was fully realized when she opened her storefront on State Street in Eagle.

Fredriksson’s own style is a blend of the rustic outdoors and hard metal, mixed with

32 32

H E A LT H & B E AU T Y

a dash of glitz and glam. It’s an eclectic style that bears a striking resemblance to that of Eagle itself. Along with exposed piping and a mix of wood decor, Flor de Sol’s centerpiece is a large chandelier: a metal orb with a sparkling center shining from within.

In addition to the store’s distinctive Eagle vibe, Flor de Sol also offers a unique multigenerational shopping experience.

Having raised four daughters, Fredriksson says it was always a challenge to shop alongside her daughters, having to split their time between stores for young women and stores with more mature styles. Her vision for Flor de Sol is for it to be a local shopping destination that can be enjoyed by all.

“It warms my heart when I see a group of women come into the store together - maybe a grandma, a mother, and daughters - and they can all find pieces

suitable for their own age and style, laugh next door to each other in the dressing rooms, then leave smiling, each having found something special. And to be able to have an experience like that right here in Eagle, I’m glad to offer that to our community,” Fredriksson reflects.

Flor de Sol’s mission is “to represent accomplished, active, classy and trendy women from around the world; to be synonymous with elegance and creativity; to blend traditional with modern.” In order to meet this mission, Fredriksson invests a great deal of energy visiting fashion markets and partnering with designers, ensuring the pieces she selects for her store are one-of-a-kind and also reflect women of every age, body type, and personal style.

The Flor de Sol logo is that of a sunflower girl, who Fredriksson says represents female empowerment. “I want women to feel supported and encouraged. I want to

offer them a selection of clothing that is as unique and beautiful as they are.”

The name Flor de Sol comes from a nickname Fredriksson’s father chose for her from the time they spent hunting big game in the Idaho wilderness, when his daughter would often end up hunting for sunflowers.

Unfortunately, shortly after Fredriksson opened Flor de Sol she had to close its rustic and glamorous doors to protect the community from COVID-19. But Fredriksson was determined to keep her new business operating. She continued her online clothing sales and offered curbside pickup for local customers.

She also sold stylish facemasks and hand sanitizer which Fredriksson believes actually helped the community learn of her presence since, after reopening in May, she noticed many of those facemask customers coming back to shop for clothing.

During those challenging initial months trying to run her new store among the shelter in place orders, as she was also completing classes for her Executive MBA through Boise State University, Fredriksson was grateful for the outpouring of support she received from the community. As a way of returning that support, Fredriksson joined the City of Eagle’s Business and Workforce Recovery committee. The group consists of nine Eagle business owners who are diligently strategizing along with Mayor Pierce how to safely and effectively reopen Eagle commerce.

Fredriksson acknowledges that people feel a range of readiness when it comes to activities like shopping for clothes again. Some can’t wait to be back in a store, others aren’t sure, and some are very reluctant. This is why Fredriksson and all Eagle business owners are pledging to follow the safety protocols outlined in the Idaho Rebounds Plan.

“We want everyone to feel comfortable getting out into the community again and safety remains our greatest priority,” explains Fredriksson.

So while it might not be time for a larger multigenerational shopping trip just yet, if you’re looking to revive your summer wardrobe

along with your mood as you step back out into the community, visit Flor de Sol to find a few unique pieces of Eagle rustic glam. ¢ Visit www.theflordesol.com. To find information about the City of Eagle’s reopening plans, visit www.cityofeagle.org.

EYES ON THE TOP Social Eyes Marketing expands and thrives during the pandemic

BY AMBER JOHNSON PHOTOGRAPHY EMMA THOMPSON

In 2010, the internet was a vastly different landscape, but one that long-time Eagle residents, Blane and Angela Russell knew could be developed for success. He had forged a successful business in the mortgage industry, and in the wake of the 2008 crash, he looked to develop his future in a new business landscape ripe with promise and possibility.

Blane founded Social Eyes Marketing, and at the time it was just as it sounds—a social media company. With an educational focus, Blane and his team began providing classes for small businesses to learn how to grow their own social media. Before long Social Eyes Marketing grew into a full-service digital marketing firm, providing everything from web design and creative video production to strategic ad campaigns and SEO—all designed to get you found online.

FAC E TO FAC E

Over the next 10 years, Social Eyes Marketing became one of the largest players in the valley in the digital marketing industry—opening their Downtown Boise office on the top floor of the Historic Hoff Building boasting 360-degree views of the City of Trees. Hosting events and client meetings was a daily occurrence in the space— creating an opportunity for growth and collaboration in marketing projects and beyond.

That is when COVID-19 hit. Social Eyes Marketing built its brand on being “social,” now the future of all things “social” looked uncertain. The team at Social Eyes Marketing didn’t skip a beat. Staff began working remotely a full week before the Idaho Stay at Home Order took effect. With remote tracking, project management, and communications already in place, the transition was smooth, but the unknown of the pandemic hit everyone in the company hard.

“We work with a lot of small, local businesses.” Blane recounts, “We knew immediately this would affect them, so we just had to help.” Social Eyes began providing free services to restaurant and entertainment clients, who were hit particularly hard by the crisis. They also continued to manage and host websites, free of charge, for clients who had to pause their services to get back on their feet again. While the team at Social Eyes continued to work from home, people’s attention turned to everything online— and in a time of uncertainty for many, Social Eyes has adapted to survive and thrive.

With the changes in the business communication landscape, Social Eyes built a growth plan for three new markets in 2020.

June 1st marks the opening of the Social Eyes Marketing Salt Lake City branch. Reno, Nevada and Bend, Oregon offices are scheduled to open by year’s end. This growth comes as a response to people’s new comfort level with remote working— but it also comes with the clear growth in the digital marketing industry— the truth is, being seen online these days is sometimes the only way to be seen.

Smiling, The Amazing Life Hack Everyone knows smiling has benefits beyond showing happiness. One of the best benefits of smiling is it reduces stress, and these days, everyone can use a little relief in that department.

But how does the act of smiling actually reduce stress? Studies have shown that smiling, even if you’re not really feeling happy, can help lower heart rates during stressful activities or feelings.

What’s the big deal? Stress is usually associated with increased heart rates and blood pressure, so smile while you’re running from that bear and you’ll feel better.

There are emotional benefits to smiling as well.

When you’re feeling down or anxious, smiling, even a forced smile, can improve your mood. Who knows, maybe it will even help you meet someone.

Which leads me to another benefit – better relationships. Let’s face it, people who smile a lot are more attractive, and I don’t only mean in a romantic way. If you’re going to hang out with someone, do you feel more drawn to the person who is smiling and laughing, or the person who looks like they just stepped out of an old-West, straight-faced photograph? See what I mean?

Growth hasn’t changed Blane and Social Eye’s focus on the Treasure Valley. In addition to helping out during the pandemic, Social Eyes continues to offer their beautiful downtown space for nonprofits in the valley and donates their time to several causes near and dear to the Social Eyes family’s heart.

Blane and the team at Social Eyes Marketing are confident about staying on top of their game, no matter what the future holds—“Digital marketing is the future, sure, but it’s also the ‘right now.’ If 2020 has taught us anything it’s that the internet has the power to connect us like never before— imagine what would happen if your business harnessed that power in its marketing.” ¢

Your smile is like an amazing life hack that supports your overall health as well as your oral health. Take care of your teeth and you’ll feel more confident, you’ll smile more and you’ll feel good.

Really!

ZEN FOX STRATEGIES Traction mastery for your business

BY MCCALE ASHENBRENER

PHOTOGRAPHY EMMA THOMPSON

Taking the entrepreneurial leap is daunting. It is great fun to sit on the shore and brainstorm, but incredibly challenging to leave solid ground and jump into the cool, rushing waters of the unknown.

Many that embark on an entrepreneurial endeavor find that eventually their initial pace of growth slows and they hit a ceiling. They are no longer headed downstream, but are rather recirculating in a big eddy, coming close to flow but not quite. Enter Nathen Fox of Zen Fox Strategies.

Nathen is an Entrepreneurial Operating System® (EOS®) Implementer that helps businesses clarify, simplify and achieve their goals. EOS® was created by Gino Wickman, and he is the founder of EOS® Worldwide. The central tenants of EOS® are vision, traction and healthy.

Vision: getting everyone on the same page about where the company is going and how it is going to get there.

Traction: building discipline and accountability, executing really well to achieve that vision.

Healthy: building a trusting, cohesive leadership teams that guides the rest of the organization.

Nathen has been helping companies grow for his entire career.

“I’ve worked with over 30 companies before EOS® and was seeing the same mistakes time and time again,” he recalls. “EOS® is a proven system because it helps business owners focus and simplify. It’s the hardest thing for owners/entrepreneurs to do because they are reading/listening to all these books/blogs/podcasts telling them all the great things they need to do to “fix” their business. Really, it’s just about simplifying and focusing. What we like to say a lot in EOS® is ‘less is more’, and we work to put that into practice.”

Often the simplest solution is the hardest to implement. According to Nathen the biggest challenges facing growing companies are people, processes and vision. It is frustrating to work with an ineffective manager or coworker, and even more trying if you feel your skills as an employee aren’t realized. “EOS® borrows a Jim Collins term, “Right People, Right Seats”. We provide tools and disciplines to expose the people issues, analyze them, and then work to get the right people in the right seats,” states Nathen.

“Most of my clients get to at least 95% right people, right seats by the end of their first year.”

Another challenge is process. Businesses often overcomplicate processes with too much detail, leading teams to rarely read and effectively use the established process. “Businesses must create consistency and scalability in their operations while maintaining or increasing profits. Again, this is about simplifying, less is more!” asserts Nathen.

The third challenge facing growing companies is vision. “Some companies create an elaborate vision, and it’s so complicated,

38

B US I N E S S

nobody in the company remembers it. We work to clearly articulate the vision and have everyone 100% agree on it; then, we work to communicate that vision with the entire company. Imagine, everyone in the company rowing in the same direction....when you achieve this, a kind of synergy occurs, and walla! progress!”

Circling in an eddy, revisiting the same challenges in different contexts time and time again, is an issue that affects many growing companies, even the successful ones. Zen Fox Strategies helps break through the stagnant waters that impede growth by clarifying, simplifying and achieving vision, ultimately helping organizations enter the flow of more growth and vitality. ¢ To learn more about Zen Fox Strategies and how EOS® can help benefit your business visit, www.zenfoxstrategies.com, call 208.576.4915 or email info@zenfoxstrategies.com

So, the answer to the question “Why Idaho?” was clear – Corey wanted to come to Eagle to be a pioneer in a new AVA. He says, “I came to do this – to make great wines in this special place”.

3 HORSE RANCH VINEYARDS Welcomes new winemaker

BY AMBER JOHNSON

PHOTOGRAPHY EMMA THOMPSON

Corey Sprott Brings Years of Napa Valley Expertise to the Eagle Foothills 3 Horse Ranch Vineyards in Eagle has a new winemaker. Corey Sprott hails from the vaunted Napa Valley, where he has been a winemaker there for nearly 40 years. Arriving in July of last year, Corey lives in Eagle. His daughter Gianna arrived in August to attend Eagle Middle School. In February, he and his wife Nikki moved the last of their belongings to Eagle where they are in the process of buying a new home. The family loves it here in Idaho – the people are friendly; the area is beautiful and “it feels like home”.

When asked why he became a winemaker, Corey says that it was a process that evolved over time.

As a teenager, he intended to become a physician. Growing up as the son of an Orthodontist, Corey was familiar with the life of health professionals – long hours of dedication away from one’s family.

Entering UC Davis as a Biochemistry major, he soon realized that he wanted neither to be a physician nor a biochemist. Growing up in Napa, drinking local wines with his family planted the seed that he soon understood– winemaking was a perfect outlet to blend his love of science, of wine and of his hometown. He changed his major and was off on a new career.

40

CUISINE

Corey began his career working at Robert Mondavi Winery, which he affectionately calls “The University of Mondavi” as so many successful winemakers had begun their careers there. It was a great place to learn “where they do it right the first time”, he says.

Later he shepherded the cellar growth of William Hill Winery from a small winery to over 100,000 cases – all while helping to design their new winery on Atlas Peak road. Corey honed his winemaking skills at Rombauer Vineyards and then at Napa Cellars. He looks back at Napa Cellars fondly as a time where he was unleashed to make outstanding wines at a great value. In his most recent job in California’s Central Valley, he had a highly compensated operations job – but his heart was not in it as he could not be a hands-on winemaker.

Enter 3 Horse Ranch owner Martha Cunningham, whom Corey had met in 10th grade at Napa High School. As so many folks have done, Martha and Corey re-connected on Facebook and began chatting about their lives. When Martha and her husband Gary decided to build a new winery on the Ranch, they contacted Corey for consultation and advice. During one early visit to Eagle filled with contractor meetings the three of them sat down to taste all of 3 Horse Ranch’s wines. He recalls that he “didn’t want to come to Idaho to make good wines – for Idaho. I want to make great wines that will compete with the best wines made anywhere”. After tasting all the different varieties at 3 Horse his mind was made up. Great wines are made from great vineyards and the grapes grown here in the Eagle Foothills AVA – American Viticultural Area have the potential to compete on any scale.

Many months of discussion led to a family decision: Corey would bring his wide-ranging experience to Idaho, taking on the role of winemaker for 3 Horse Ranch and General Manager of the under-construction Eagle Wine Company winery.

Corey gives great credit to the Cunningham’s previous winemaker, Greg Koenig. “Greg has done an amazing job and will be a tough act to follow” he says. His winemaking plans are to only make some tweaks here and there at first. As he gets to know the vineyard, he will make changes that improve the wines. “Our customers have spoken and they like our wines. I wish to make them better but not to re-invent the wheel.” Some examples are that the grapes will no longer need to be trucked an hour away, the tractor will deliver them across the street. The ability to keep vineyard blocks separate, with distinct barrel aging will give 3 Horse the ability to improve wine quality allowing them to determine the highest and best use for each block of grapes. “We have 3 different blocks of Cabernet sauvignon which go into two different wines. Keeping the blocks separate will allow us to blend each wine to its absolute best” Corey maintained.

So, the answer to the question “Why Idaho?” was clear – Corey wanted to come to Eagle to be a pioneer in a new AVA. He says, “I came to do this – to make great wines in this special place”.

Imagine being a grape grower/winemaker in the Napa Valley in 1970 – 50 years ago and experiencing the exhilaration of discovering a place that can grow wines of a quality to compete with the Old World. The Eagle Foothills AVA is poised to reprise this revolution in winegrowing – making wines that compete not only with the Old World but with the best of the New World – in Idaho!

BACKYARD BBQ BLISS With Deny and Dave Bart

BY KAYLI CORBIN PHOTOGRAPHY EMMA THOMPSON

Imagine this – you’re hanging in the backyard with your best friends and family. The afternoon sun is perfectly warm, and your choice beverage is perfectly cold. The aroma of sweet, smoky, savory barbeque intoxicates everyone in attendance. Kids are laughing, stories are being shared, and smiles are abundant. You think to yourself, “THIS is the life. I’m so glad to be in this moment.”

Whether you pride yourself in being a grill master or love to enjoy the fruits of another’s BBQ labor, and it’s likely that description brought you to a place you’d like to be again. A backyard BBQ is something that just inherently feels good and with summer at our back door, I know we’re ALL ready to get out and grill!

Deny and Dave Bart have run the gamut of grilling and have a pretty impressive history. What started as a passion, quickly developed into gifting food to friends and neighbors, and ultimately the beginning of a successful business. The duo to open Bart’s Blazin’ Q in 2006 in Northern California. They received countless compliments about their prime cuts cooked low and slow, and decided it was time to dive into BBQ competitions.

The first competition they entered, they took first place in the brisket category! They were awarded Grand Champion out of 38 entries at an event in Placerville and took first place for their sauce at the USA BBQ Championship in Las Vegas in 2011.

Q, the coals of their BBQ passion are still piping hot! Their Eagle home hosts a recently completed barbeque shack in the backyard.

This is the stuff of a grill master’s dreams! Space to house their BBQs and a place dedicated to their life-long passion was a no brainer when they started building their home.

Dave learned a long time ago, thanks to his dad, that great tasting BBQ wasn’t cooked on a gas grill; it was cooked over charcoal.

Dave says the smell of the burning charcoal takes him back to his childhood days when his dad would fire up the BBQ. As the years have passed, Dave has perfected his art of cooking BBQ low and slow using both charcoal and hardwoods.

The family ties and good memories a backyard BBQ creates is something irreplaceable. It’s important to remember what really matters as we work our way through this challenging time in the world. Many of us have been distant from the people we love and are eager to get back to the roots of what makes us happy. Deny shares, “Barbecue, BBQ, Q, however you want to say it – it’s all about family, friends, good times, and good food!”

We couldn’t agree more with this sentiment and hope that you find some time to enjoy delicious food in the company of the ones you love! ¢
