BEACON LIGHT ROAD

By Pat Minkiewicz

12

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

Eagle City’s unique north rural Area of City Impact begins along the Beacon Light Road corridor between Highways 55 and 16. Much of the area is Ada County land and includes large acreage properties, farms, ranches, wineries, and undeveloped land abutting the foothills.

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 night-time airmail drops starting in the mid 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. 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/ milestone1.

CREATIVE AND MOUTHWATERING APPETIZERS

Springtime presents the ideal opportunity to get out and enjoy the sights, smells, views, and most importantly, the tastes of Eagle. Eagle residents are blessed to be surrounded by a cornucopia of fine dining options. While many diners have a go-to dish at their favorite restaurant that they wouldn’t dream of straying from, appetizers give even the most conventional patrons a chance to channel their inner Lou Reed and take a walk on the wild side. Okay—maybe not that wild. Still, sweet, salty, and spicy to boot, Eagle has just the appetizer for you.

14

THE FLATS 16:

Mediterranean Platter Ironically enough, many diners steer clear of appetizers at restaurants for fear of spoiling their appetite for the main course. At the Flats 16, however, there’s an app for that.

The Mediterranean Platter is the quintessential blend of light, yet tasteful. Complete with warm pita bites, sweet seafood-stuffed peppadew peppers, homemade hummus, fresh sliced vegetables, cured meats and more, this appetizer wins the heart of diners with its teeny bites that pack a punch of flavor without stealing the show from the entrée. Pair this platter with a glass of wine and a spot on the gorgeous, newly renovated patio—you won’t regret it.

GRIT AMERICAN CUISINE:

Steamed Clams Are you nuts about, well, nuts? Do you put peanut butter on your peanut butter? Look no further than Grit’s Steamed Clams appetizer. This Thai-influenced dish boasts a sweet coconut ginger sauce infused with lime, garlic, and scallions. Inspired by Somalian refugees, Chef Paul Faucher employs honey roasted peanuts from City Peanut Shop as a thickener, giving the sauce an exotic African twist and the undeniable aroma and taste of rich crunchy peanut butter. The end result is a mouthwatering dish featuring all the elements of taste: sweet, spicy, rich, and even a hint of sour. One bite of this unique synthesis of ethnic cooking styles will etch its one-of-a-kind taste into your flavor palate and leave you clamoring for more.

REMBRANDT’S: Steamed

BARDENAY:

Cauliflower Hot Wings

Kobe Beef Tacos

Vegan options often garner a collective groan from meat enthusiasts, but Rembrandt’s Cauliflower Hot Wings are without question the exception to the rule. Buttermilk drenched and deep fried to crispy perfection, these cauliflower florets first captivate guests with both their irresistible aroma and eye-popping appearance.

Still, it’s the sauce options that seal the deal on these one-of-a-kind “wings.” Teriyaki style gives diners the sweet and savory tang while the buffalo style brings the zing hot wing fanatics crave. Best of all, indecisive eaters like myself are let off the hook with the option to order these tasty treats with half of each style. Served exclusively during dinner hours with your choice of ranch or blue cheese, the only way to fully grasp the delectability of this Rembrandt’s favorite is to try it for yourself.

Bardenay may be one of the Treasure Valley’s worst kept secrets, but that shouldn’t stop you from indulging in their lean American-Style Kobe Beef Tacos. This zesty favorite consistently draws rave reviews from Bardenay employees and patrons alike, and for good reason, too! With locally sourced beef from Snake River Farms, the only thing that rivals the freshness of these tacos are their flavor. Served on a white corn tortilla with pico de gallo, shredded lettuce, and cotija cheese, Bardenay has crafted the perfect summertime taco. Grab a seat on Bardenay’s elegant patio with a beautiful view, tame the heat brought by these delightful tacos with a house gin martini and enjoy your own little slice of paradise.

RICE CONTEMPORARY ASIAN:

BELLA AQUILA:

Bangkok Shrimp

Chioggia Beet Caprese

Asian restaurants are often known for their absolute abundance of delicious menu items, and Rice Contemporary Asian Cuisine is no different with a menu featuring dishes from China, India, Japan, Korea, Vietnam and Thailand. So many quality choices can make for an unpleasantly difficult decision, so why not go with a house-original dish like the Bangkok Shrimp? Created by General Manager Toffee Dullaphan, this popular summertime dish features the crisp earthiness of a fresh salad seamlessly melded with the zest of lemon-seasoned shrimp. Topped with sesame seeds and house-made aioli, it’s tough to go wrong with this light, nutritious option.

It would be fair to say that Bella Aquila, like the Go-Go’s, has got the beet. New to the menu for 2018, the Chioggia Beet Caprese is the ultimate way to immerse your taste buds in springtime vibes. This wonderful medley of earthy flavors features milder spring beets contrasting with the kick of peppered arugula lettuce. To top it all off—literally—a white balsamic vinaigrette drizzle and a touch of goat cheese give it a hint of that sour cream flavor that makes the whole dish pop. While there’s little doubt that the fusion of Spring colors makes the Chioggia Beet Caprese jump off the plate, the true beauty of this appetizer is the lasting impression it leaves on your taste buds.

With breathtaking patio views, alluring aromas, and unforgettable tastes, it’s safe to say that Spring is in full swing. Whether you’re looking for a light snack or a heaping portion of mouthwatering goodness, Eagle has you covered. The birds are gleefully chirping, the sun brightly shining, and the flowers perkily blossoming. The only question that remains is—shouldn’t you be too? ¢

JUST HANGING& Being Creative in Eagle

It’s no coincidence that the word “recreation” contains within it “creation.” Spring and Summer may present the ideal time to spur your creative mind, but it can be tough to break the cyclical monotony of everyday life if you don’t unlock your inner-kid and use your imagination. This Spring, let your imagination run free like wild horses and see where it takes you. Just remember that childhood living is easy to do, so don’t let it drag you away.

Options ranging from healthy to sugar-coma-inducing make Orange Leaf a great spot for both parents and kids to mix it up. Complete with smoothies, fresh daily house-made waffle cones and froyo cakes, Orange Leaf’s countless unconventional flavors—from Belgian waffle with maple syrup to blueberry banana—leave little need for the imagination at this Eagle gem.

I don’t care what The Rolling Stones say, maybe getting dragged away every now and again isn’t such a bad thing, after all. ¢

This Spring, let your imagination run free like wild horses and see where it takes you. Just remember that childhood living is easy to do, so don’t let it drag you away.

Eagle Plein Air Festival Bring painters and patrons together

By Drew Dodson Photography Allie Zeyer

This June, top artists in the region will flock to the Treasure Valley as the Eagle Plein Air Festival returns for its fourth consecutive year. Not to be confused with aviation or aeronautics, this plein air festival features scores of talented artists from all over the region coming together to literally paint from life in the open air. Made famous by Claude Monet and other French Impressionists in the 19th century, this unique style mandates that artists paint landscape scenes while being exposed to the elements, including rain, wind, extreme heat, cloud cover and dynamic lighting.

“It’s almost like the art Olympics because it’s so challenging and there’s so many variables out there,” said Meg Glasgow, owner of Finer Frames in Eagle. While she only dabbles in plein air painting, Glasgow has spent the last year coordinating and planning everything about the week-long festival, from funding, to the schedule, and even the artists being featured. As the festival start date of June 2 draws closer, those responsibilities have only ramped up.

“This became my full-time job starting in about February,” she said. “We’re

26

[Finer Frames] the heart and soul of this festival. I’m kind of like the festival ringmaster.”

Cool titles aside, being the director of a festival is actually quite difficult, as it turns out. After spending the last several months attracting professional artists from places as far as Arizona, Colorado, Montana and Utah, Glasgow’s focus has shifted to ensuring patrons have every opportunity to meet, work alongside, and learn from their favorite artists.

“What’s so awesome about this festival is that it brings the art patrons and

the painters together,” said Glasgow, adding, “That is the magic.”

Perhaps the best all-around opportunity to get in on the “magic” of the festival is at the signature event at Eagle Island State Park: Art on the Island.

Held on Thursday, June 7, from 5-10 p.m., this event features the union of three wonderful worlds: art, jazz, and wine. Attendees will have the pleasures of soothing jazz melodies and wine from the top wineries in Idaho as painters and patrons alike come together for a night of fun.

“It’s kind of like art matchmaking,” said Glasgow. “The artist gets to do what they love to do, but in a way that becomes more meaningful when you have someone who appreciates it at the same time.”

Registered painters will participate in an hour and a half long quick draw competition before immediately turning the pieces over for judging, followed by a wet paint auction to close the evening. Wine, beer, and food vendors will be scattered throughout, and a portion of proceeds from art sales will benefit the Idaho Jazz Education Endowment.

In addition, the festival boasts a nocturnal paint-out from dusk until dawn in which artists paint by streetlight or moonlight. With a bevy of other events slated for the week, the Eagle Plein Air Festival is helping give the city an identity of its own that residents can take pride in.

“It’s more of a cultural experience for Eagle,” explained Glasgow. “There’s no other event like this around in Southwest Idaho at all.” ¢

SUPER STRONG FITNESS Creating a lifestyle of exercise and eating well.

By Veronica LeMaster Photographs by Jim Peterson

F

For someone that is always on the go, moving slow can act as a form of relaxation, but not at Super Strong Fitness.

32

H E A LT H & B E AU T Y

Super Strong Fitness is a workout studio that specializes in 20-minute low impact, high intensity exercise that has been proven to be safe and effective for muscle building and bone density. At the studio, which is kept under 65 degrees so you can walk out without feeling the need to shower, you and a personal trainer workout one to two times a week on six to eight different machines. The workout is focused on creating and maintaining optimal health.

But that’s just the beginning to overall success.

Owner Jeff Kempthorne believes that having strength just doesn’t come from exercise, adding that “eating clean and healthy is a huge portion to obtain a healthy active life.”

“Making the decision to start eating right and to exercise is easy, to actually do it is where it takes real work. Having an appointment to exercise with someone else who is holding you accountable really helps,” Kempthorne said. “When a client is focusing on a healthy eating plan we discuss it regularly. You have someone in your corner routing for you [at Super Strong Fit-

ness] and keeping you accountable.”

When making the change to a healthier lifestyle, setting up for success is the most important factor. Having a plan with goals that are attainable for you will help keep you on the right track.

“Decide on some healthy snacks that can replace the usual ones you know are not good for you. Try avoiding highly processed foods; one great way to do this is to buy food that does not come with a nutrition label, which is food from the deli or the butcher.”

Here are a few of Kempthorne’s favorite healthy snacks: · Apples with almond butter-monounsaturated fats are good for your heart. This snack provides protein, Vitamin E, and magnesium. Magnesium helps replenish electrolytes. · Whole wheat toast with peanut butter smear, banana slices, and dash of cinnamon—the complex carbs will last you throughout your workout. The fruit adds a kick of energy. · Wild salmon and sweet potatoes—great for recovery, protein, and Omega 3. Good for the joints and reduces risks of muscular degeneration. · Greek yogurt with fruit—provides a protein-packed snack. Fruit gives you extra boost of energy before workout. Provides nutrients for muscle repair and recovery if eaten post-workout. · Chocolate milk—post workout drink.

Carbs and protein for muscle recovery, great source of calcium and tastes delicious. · Boiled egg—packed with nutrients and protein with few calories. Great for fuel throughout the day · Avocado toast—complex carbs and antioxidants which keep you fuller longer. Able to burn energy throughout workouts. · Hummus pita—hummus provides healthy fats and proteins to the muscles. Pitas are a good source of healthy carbs. · Mixed nuts—high in protein and healthy fat. Super easy snack to take with you and eat on the go.

“No excuses!” Kempthorne explained.

“You need to find time to get a plan together. Usually there is plenty of time, it is just prioritizing.” ¢ (208) 938-2688 Email: info@superstrongfitness.com Address: 1191 E Iron Eagle Drive, Eagle, Id 83616

SECOND AVENUE CONSIGNMENT, GIFTS, AND MORE!

By Veronica LeMaster Photographs by Kimberlee Miller When Linda Western wanted a change from teaching ballet and tap dance, she saw a need to add something fun to downtown Eagle. Nearly fifteen years later, her store, Second Avenue, has become an integral part of the downtown charm.

Western and her family moved to Idaho in 1994 from Nevada, where she immediately fell in love with Eagle. When she first got here, she taught tap dance at Ballet Idaho.

But after about ten years, she started looking for something different. Meanwhile, her family had purchased a building as an investment, and rented out office space. Eventually, renters wanted to downsize which led them

LIVING

to move into the basement of the building, which left Western with an empty upstairs space.

“My husband [at the time] and I were brainstorming what businesses we would like to see downtown, and we really wanted to see retail coming in, because there wasn’t really any at the time in 2003,” Western said.

“In January, my husband said to me ‘you’re planning to leave the ballet in May, so why don’t you open a consignment store?’ and I was excited about that, so that’s what I did!” explains Western.

After finishing up her last season at Ballet Idaho, Western opened Second Avenue in June

of 2003, with her friend from the ballet, Sonja Deines. For the first few months, Second Avenue was a strictly consignment store, but Western quickly saw customers wanting more options to choose from.

“I wanted to see how it would do, so I started bringing in new home décor, and it grew,” she said.

About five years later, during the recession, Western saw a lot of her neighbor stores close. By 2011, Second Avenue was one of the last retail stores left in that side of town.

“During that time, people weren’t upsizing or downsizing, they were keeping their sofas and everything else and really just trying to make it through,” she said. “But, what I saw was that people were still buying birthday presents, they were still getting cards, they were doing those little things.”

She spent the next three years bringing in more gift lines, which added more of a fun side to Second Avenue. After its success, Western started blending her stock of consignment furniture, home décor, and gifts.

She shortly found that her gifts were outselling the furniture.

Western has been busy finishing a remodel of the store, which she said was definitely needed after fifteen years of business. Upon entering, guests are now welcomed by brighter colors and a fresh new feel.

Western, and her team (along with a Mini Australian Shepherd that can be found there most days) spend their time buying gifts, home décor, and acquired consignments.

And throughout Second Avenue’s fifteen years of business, Western has been incredibly thankful for the amount of support from Eagle and its residents. ¢ Look for Second Avenue’s big birthday celebration in June! For more details, visit their Facebook page!

MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT PACE PICKS UP AT LAKEMOOR

By Brad Carlson

Quick completion never was contemplated for Lakemoor, the 180-acre, mixed-use development launched on Eagle’s south side a dozen years ago near the end of the last real estate boom. Project developer Dennis Baker, known for his love of trees, would happily spend years on not-for-sale amenities like landscaping, water features, parks and pathways.

While the mixed-use approach takes time – must-do tasks including bringing public agencies and neighbors on-board – it’s worth it, said Baker, a developer in the Boise area for 50 years.

“It is universally accepted, and the finished community is a complete package for lifestyle living” that “never goes out of style,” he said.

Lakemoor, on the east side of Eagle Road north of U.S. 20-26 / Chinden Boulevard, is “such a unique niche, with the commercial and recreational aspects of the community,” Baker said.

It exemplifies a “calling-card blending of architecture, both hardscapes and softscapes, within the community.”

36

R E A L E S TAT E

Lakemoor’s residential, commercial and parkland areas are seeing brisk activity as years-long planning pays off and as more people decide to live, work, recreate and shop in an area that’s compact, yet amenity-rich and easy to access.

The Elevation at Lakemoor will be the community’s seventh phase. It features 45 compact residential lots, five large common-area lots, and a swim facility and cabana building entitled in conjunction with Baker’s foundation, which contributed ground to the city and is involved with park, pathway, wetland restoration and other improvements. The location is Lakemoor’s southeast portion, including the 12-plus-acre residential project and the 23-acre park north and east, across multiple residential phases.

Dan Torfin, Lakemoor development partner based at the Dennis M. Baker & Associates office in Boise, said in mid-January that half of the Phase-7 home lots are reserved for spring 2018 construction. Buyers have included established

Eagle residents looking to move from a larger property to a smaller lot with access to amenities and recreation, and in-migrants from other states, he said. Lot sizes in this phase range from 5,000 to 8,000 square feet, with expected home values from $400,000 to $1 million.

To the east, near Eagle Road and bordered to the north by Eagle’s Gate Drive, two 16-townhome pods will constitute an eighth residential phase to see lots available late this year, Baker said. Also in this area are commercial building sites to be developed as demand warrants: a 12,000-square-foot building with restaurant space at grade and office space on a second story, and two office structures of 22,000 and 40,000 square feet each, he said. Farther east, in an area bordered by Chinden on the south, an eventual ninth phase is slated for 33 patio-home lots.

In 2017, all of the approximately 30 Lakemoor home lots available sold, Torfin said, bringing total lot sales to 223 since 2006. Lakemoor is one of the Eagle area’s developments meeting demand for a mix of lot sizes, he said.

High-profile commercial construction seen recently at Lakemoor from Eagle Road is on ground Baker about 18 months ago sold to Boise-based Hawkins Companies. Plans for the Hawkins-owned Bridges at Lakemoor call for about 200,000 square feet of building space on 25 acres. Two 11,000-square-foot building for multiple retail tenants – as of January including yoga and fitness studio barre3 and F-45 Training – as well as a three-story, 65,000-square-foot office building anchored by TSheets (recently sold to Intuit) and now fully leased – are completed.

Paul Stephens, development partner with Hawkins Companies, said another seven to eight buildings could be completed, with sizes and construction schedules depending on lease signings and tenant requirements. The project has potential to attract restaurants, a specialty grocer, entertainment venues, office users and a hotel, though Hawkins would need to find the right partnership to pursue hotel development there, he said.

“Eagle is gaining the attention of a number of businesses,” Stephens said. He believes Eagle, with its growth and high average income, could use more office space as well as more sit-down and fast-casual restaurants.

“The integration of the commercial has always been envisioned by the developers of Lakemoor as a necessary aspect of the overall development,” Torfin said. The commercial components will add convenience for Lakemoor and other south Eagle communities while blending with amenities and helping to reduce vehicle trips, he said.

Baker said a lifestyle or gourmet grocer in Lakemoor, for example, would gain wide acceptance from Eagle and the Lakemoor community. ¢

Porterhouse is truly the king of all steaks, and of course, our mascot. This simple recipe has its roots in Tuscany. A simple marinade and a hot fire typically of olive wood produce the exquisite flavors of beef and fire. You can replicate it by cooking over a hot bed of coals with some wood chips or on your Traeger grill with oak pellets. The key here is the smoke, gas grills won’t cut it. Start with a 2” cut of porterhouse, marinate it for up to two days and cook it to no more than rare to medium rare. If you are short on time, you may marinate it for a couple of hours at room temperature just before grilling. It is best shared with friends whom you love dearly.

(They should bring you an expensive bottle of wine to share).

3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil 2 tsp kosher or sea salt 1 tsp freshly ground pepper 1 Tbsp minced garlic Lemon wedges Mix together the first 4 ingredients in a small bowl. Put the steak in a shallow dish and rub the mixture all over both sides of the meat. Cover and refrigerate for up to two days turning the steak frequently. You may replace the two days with two hours at room temperature for almost as good results. At any rate, it is always best to allow all your steaks to come to room temperature for at least an hour before grilling. This allows the seasonings to work in as well as it will cook more evenly.

Prepare your grill hot. Sear the steak over high heat for about 3 minutes on each side. Add any wood chips for smoking and move the steak over indirect heat. Be sure to keep the lid down at this point to capture the smokiness flavors onto the steak. Turn periodically to prevent burning for 10 to 20 minutes more depending on the heat of your fire and thickness of the steak. Preferably no more than an internal temperature of 115F to 120F.

After removing the steak from the grill, allow it to rest for 10 to 15 minutes loosely covered with tin foil. To carve, cut the loin meat and the fillet meat away from the bone. Cut into ½ inch thick slices. Arrange the meat on a platter with the bone; squeeze a ½ of a lemon over the steak. Serve with the remaining lemon wedges and offer the bone to the hungriest (or loudest) carnivore while they pass you a glass of that expensive wine. ¢

STEPPING INSIDE YOUR OWN WORLD– VR1 ARCADE

By Veronica Lemaster Photographs by Kimberlee Miller

Imagine being able to travel anywhere without leaving the Treasure Valley, or without leaving an 8x8 box. At VR1 Arcade, opportunities on where to go and what to do are endless.

“Once they’re inside the headset, they can travel anywhere,” owner Brendan Smythe says.

“It’s basically endless, and that’s the benefit of virtual reality is that it’s all computer generated so you can create anything you’d like.”

The large range of options can have people choosing from playing a sport, such as bowling, tennis, or basketball to being a super hero, such as Spider-Man or Batman.

Smythe opened the arcade when he saw a need for more family-friendly entertainment in Eagle.

Being the only virtual reality arcade in Idaho, VR1 Arcade has experienced a heavy amount of traffic from all age groups.

“It’s purely all ages in between,” he said. “I’ve had 93-year-olds, I’ve had 5-year-olds, and all of them have found something that they can do.”

Smythe was first introduced to the technology when working for real estate, where he would walk clients through their homes using virtual reality. Now with a larger space, Smythe uses the arcade to show floorplans in the morning and for arcading in the afternoon.

He also hosts events in the arcade, such as competitions and tournaments with VR athletes around the world. But many of his clients are not considered gamers, as he said that’s a big misconception of the arcade.

“A lot of people think since they’re not a gamer it’s not for them, but I don’t see a lot of gamers coming here,” he says.

As the arcade celebrated its first anniversary in February, Smythe hopes to focus more on the health benefits of virtual reality. He has seen the technology allow people to workout and burn calories without realizing it. One of their clients even lost 500 calories while playing!

While majority of people may not like working out, they can definitely discover something they like doing on virtual reality.

LO C A L

“We get scenarios where a dad, who’s 50 years old with bad knees, can now play baseball and actually hit the ball and run on the field and get the full experience, but it doesn’t require that much of him,” Smythe said.

He works to promote using the technology as an exercise and offers a workout session every other Monday from 7 am to noon. During those times, customers get a 20% discount to come workout.

Virtual reality also allows those with physical disabilities to experience things that they normally couldn’t. In addition, children with social anxiety tend to feel more comfortable using virtual reality to engage with others, while

still having a barrier between them.

Smythe is in the process of opening a second location, as he sees virtual reality becoming more popular. “The new technology that’s coming out is one thing to look forward to.

We’re going to be able to get a warehouse next, which will be a larger place. The goal of that is to walk around a 30x30 space.”

Smythe hopes to have the new facility open and equipped with the new gear by this year. ¢ Call or Text: +1-208-941-5958 1225 E Winding Creek Dr Suite 110 Eagle, ID 83616 info@vr1arcade.com

MOONSONG MALAMUTE RESCUE

By Chelsea Chambers Photographs by Kimberlee Miller

CALL FOR

DETAILS Steve Glasgow

208-890-6789

There is something about looking into the eyes of a dog that is so heart-warming, so comforting, that one can’t help but fall in love immediately. This is the exact caring mentality that brought Moonsong Malamute Rescue to fruition.

The federally recognized nonprofit began under the foundation of caring for and rescuing Malamute dogs, typically in the western United States.

Dogs from Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, California, and other states are saved from inhabitable and inhumane conditions. They are fully vetted, given all of their shots, rehabilitated, and rehoused, with a 95% success rate!

The rescue is primarily operated by six board members and functions solely on a volunteer basis. This proves to be difficult, especially when they are taking in dozens of dogs. They work to educate the public about the breed, which is highly active and needs a lot of exercise and mental stimulation. Originally bred to be working dogs, they prefer to be very busy, making them dedicated and loyal companions.

There are so many incredible success stories that Moonsong has had the privilege of being a part of. One instance was a dog named Zack, a large Malamute with terrible cataracts in his eyes. He was brought in from Eastern Oregon and they immediately started a fundraiser for his eye surgery. Zack was under great discomfort but that didn’t stop the vet tech who worked with him from falling head over heels. After Moonsong raised the full $4,500 dollars for his surgery, he was quickly adopted by the very same vet tech and is now living a full, happy life in his new home.

What sets Moonsong apart is their willingness to take in dogs that need special care, like Zack. They do not discriminate against age or health status, like many rescues do. There is so much that goes into caring for these beautiful animals, making Moonsong in constant need of volunteers to help walk, groom, foster, and assist with home visits, among other things.

If you love animals and making a difference, then consider volunteering for Moonsong Malamute Rescue. ¢ Check out their Facebook page and website for more information! http://www.moonsongmals.org

AHA! CAMP WITH CAROLYN CASEY ALLOWING YOURSELF THE MOMENT FOR AHA’S

By Megan Bryant Photographs by Kimberlee Miller

T

The first item on the official Women’s Aha! Camp packing list is “Nothing Tight or Squeezy.”

Say no more. Where do I sign up?

This is the eighth year of Women’s Aha! Camp, the beloved project of Eagle resident, Carolyn Casey. The idea sparked when her good friend mentioned she had never gone away to camp as a child. As a regular summer-camp goer herself, Casey couldn’t imagine a life without those times she cherished so deeply.

The smells, the sounds, the friendships, the adventure. Camp pulses life into the souls of youngsters, and it certainly had the same lasting effect on her. But, like so many other playful endeavors we know as children, at some point it all comes to an end and we settle into adulthood.

So, why a camp for just women?

“I am not against men, but I am for women,” Casey states, fervently, “I believe that when a woman comes to camp and fills herself up, she

44

C LO S E U P

naturally flows over onto everyone in her life.

Her partner, her children, her employees…everyone in her life is touched by the benefits of a woman who takes that time to fuel herself.”

“The energy behind camp is so different from any other type of women’s event or conference.

The aha’s come in the space,” explains Casey.

Many women do have themselves on their own “to-do” list, but at the very bottom. Women feel a sense of obligation to put everyone and everything above themselves. Or perhaps feel guilty for spending time and money on being away from work or family. “I’ll go to camp for myself when the kids are older,” is not an uncommon excuse that Casey hears.

Here are a few words from some former campers: “Like me, most of the girls were there by themselves and just as excited as I was. By the first dinner we were one big happy group; dancing, sharing stories, beverages, and laughing for hours and eating s’mores by the campfire. We enjoyed all kinds of fun events, explored our souls and learned about each other’s struggles as women. I loved everything about camp!”– Lisa Benlian “I LOVED camp as a kid and think we miss having adventures and bonding with friends as adults because we get caught up in the work-family-life balancing act. Camp allows me to connect with past friends, meet wonderful, positive, new friends in a place where I get to be a kid again! I also take away promises for improving my life, which, in turn, promotes the lives of those around me.” – Shelli Roberson “If I am totally honest, I had some apprehension about going to this “Women’s camp.” I made some fast friends over the weekend who have become friends for life! The camp was filled with not only fun and challenging activities and classes, but some much needed down time. One of the things I enjoyed the most was the transparency of some of the women who I

consider to be very high caliber business women and pillars in our community and discovering how deep down, we are all just girls who want to have fun.” – Denise Nygard Casey is a staple in the Eagle community and an avid tennis player, who has supported Eagle Tennis Club since before it opened in September 2016. She’s an author, a visionary, and a playtime enthusiast.

It’s time to reclaim camp! Regain our childlike zest for life!

There are two dates per year to choose from in May and September. Event details and registration are available at https://www.carolyncaseyaha.com/womensahacamp/ Expect a wide array of activities while attending camp, and perhaps even more importantly, enjoy the time available to just exist unscheduled, unbound, and open to connect with yourself and your most personal moments to recognize the things YOU need most in life. ¢

FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS, EAGLE SOARS

By Liza Long Photograph by Kimberlee Miller If you think driving on Eagle Road during rush hour is a challenge, imagine fording the Boise River to get to town. That’s what Eagle’s first residents had to do in 1864, says Alana Dunn, the curator of the Eagle Historical Museum.

“For forty years, until Eagle beat out Star to build a bridge, the Eagle Island settlers either had to ford or ferry their way across,” Dunn

46

CO M M U N I T Y

told me when we met at the museum, noting that long before spacious homes dotted the idyllic landscape, early settlers were drawn to the island because of its abundant wood, fresh water, and productive soil.

Tucked away on Old State Street, the Eagle Historical Museum houses exhibits and archives dedicated to preserving the history of our beloved community. A 30-minute visit is a trip back in time. From an old blacksmith’s shop to a pristine 1894 Kimball parlor pump organ to strange, medusa-like 1930s permanent wave contraption that coiffed our grandmothers’ hair, the museum highlights Eagle’s roots as an agricultural community with cultural aspirations.

When the city was incorporated in 1971, only 359 residents called Eagle home. Today, 27,000 people live in Eagle, a desirable urban community in the thriving Treasure Valley. But the museum’s newest feature is dedicated to remembering Eagle’s beginnings through the stories of three Founding Fathers, Thomas Aikens, Truman Catlin, and Polete Mace. A bronze statue of Aikens stands at the corner of First Street and Old State Street and can be seen in one of the museum’s historic walking tours.

Another planned 2018 exhibit will feature the Eagle Island Prison Farm, which operated from 1929 through the mid-1970s, before Eagle Island State Park was developed. Dunn, who took over museum curation from Laurie Baker in 2012, is excited about including the community in this

project. “We’re actively looking for artifacts for this exhibit,” Dunn told me. “Anything that people in the community may have—pictures, documents, anything—would be very welcome.”

Dunn also plans to develop an exhibit to showcase one of Eagle’s most infamous stories: a 1924 bank heist carried out in broad daylight at the stately brick bank that now houses DaVincis Restaurant. The two robbers accosted a cab driver and convinced him to join their plot. With one of the robbers’ children and a girlfriend in tow, the criminals carried out their brazen plot, taking $2,700 and making their escape in an imposing Cadillac cab as bank notes floated in their wake. They were swiftly apprehended.

These are the stories that continue to capture people’s imaginations. If you love history and want to make a difference, Dunn says the museum is always looking for volunteers, especially those with computer skills who can help with archival efforts.

One of the museum’s most exciting developments is the online collections database of archival information and photographs, hosted on the City of Eagle’s website. A quick glance through the site’s random images reveals a community with a rich history. Eagle has not forgotten its roots. ¢ For more information: The Eagle Historical Museum 67 E.

THE FLATS 16 NEWLY RENOVATED RESTAURANT AND EVENT CENTER!

By Drew Dodson Photograph by Kimberlee Miller Caleb and Tyson Burkhart are brothers and co-owners of The Flats 16, a new restaurant and event center that opened in late November on the site formerly occupied by Crooked Fence Brewery on Highway 16. That, however, is where the similarities end. Caleb is boisterous and excitable, Tyson quiet and reserved. Caleb likes being on the front lines while Tyson prefers to operate from behind the scenes. Caleb handles the culinary side of things, Tyson manages the accounting.

The stark contrast between these brothers not only makes them exceptional business partners, but also helps explain the juxtaposition of everything about The Flats. From the sprawling menu to the smorgasbord of events, The Flats doesn’t quite fit into any classification of restaurant or event center, but rather forms something much greater than any label could suggest.

“We just want a spot where you can get the community here,” explained Tyson.

Considering the hodgepodge of events hosted

by The Flats—car shows, bourbon barbeque cookouts, bocce ball leagues, local music festivals, weddings, wine Wednesdays and more— it’s fair to say the Burkhart brothers are quickly succeeding at creating a place for all walks of life to get together and have a good time.

48

CUISINE

The Flats’ menu is chocked full of delicious dishes like the black bean sweet potato tacos, fiery stuffed poblano pepper burger, Basque croquettes, and stuffed pork chops, to name a few. Complimenting these one-of-a-kind options are some of the most one-size-fits-all dishes known to man like a cheeseburger with fries and a Philly Cheesesteak. The 12 beers on tap and extensive selection of bottles and cans from various breweries epitomize this philosophy of variety. That philosophy, Tyson says, is what makes The Flats such a welcoming venue for everyone.

“Most of the population wants a basic hamburger and a Coors Light,” he said. “So, we’re going to have a basic hamburger and a Coors Light, but we’re also going to have Dragon’s Milk [stout beer] and pork tacos with a blueberry barbeque sauce.” Oh, and by the way, every sauce sold at The Flats is made in house. Caleb’s culinary background with St. Luke’s gave him both the connections and the chops to keep the menu as fresh and local as possible.

“I learned there’s nothing worse than a freezer to fryer restaurant,” he said. “We try to make everything as fresh as we possibly can because that’s the difference, I think.”

During their renovations, Caleb and Tyson have made it a point to hire local businesses for everything imaginable, right down to the tables—seriously. 44 Iron Design made the exterior iron fences as well as the table frames. The frames were then taken to River Valley Woodworks in Homedale where the wood inlays were crafted specifically for each frame. To top it all off, local artist Ellen Robbins is responsible for all of the artwork in the restaurant as well as the banquet rooms.

To say the property has experienced night and day changes from its days as Crooked Fence Brewery is an understatement. In addition to the new fences and landscaping features, new patios have been poured out back to accommodate the wide array of events being hosted, including live music every Friday and Saturday night. It’s been an immense amount of work, but the Burkhart brothers wouldn’t have it any other way.

“I think we picked this maybe subconsciously because we like to work a lot and now we work all the time,” chuckled Caleb. “It’s nice to wake up and have a fight to go to.”

With three weddings already booked for June and a multitude of other events peppered in throughout each week, that fight has transitioned to ensuring The Flats’ new-look outdoor event venue and the accompanying buildings are in tip-top shape for the busy Summer ahead.

“We want to have one of the best event centers and restaurants in the area. You don’t get this very often,” said Caleb, gesturing to the expansive area behind the restaurant. “Our outdoor space beats anybody, I would say.” ¢

SARAH PATTERSON LIVING INSPIRED

By Chelsea Chambers Photograph by Kimberlee Miller The world moves so fast these days. It often feels like we’ve met a million different people, running from place to place, event to event—and somewhere in between a slew of endless emails and a phone that never stops ringing, we meet people that actually make us stop, people that shift our perspective and show us that the joy in life is worth celebrating.

Sarah Patterson is one of the most influential women I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Her constant smile, her infectious laughter, and the way that she sees the world is inspirational. Seconds after shaking Sarah’s hand, I knew that I was going to learn something from her. She immediately began telling me about all the projects she is working on and all the goals and dreams she has set for herself. She has a lengthy list of celebrities she hopes to meet (a special shout-out to Josh Gad!) and with her drive and determination, she is guaranteed to be successful in her pursuits.

As I sat with Sarah, I asked her what she wanted to share with the world, and above all, it is to break the boundaries that we have been given. No matter the obstacle, Sarah, and her loving family, have leapt over them and pushed through to the other side. When I asked Sarah what obstacles she faces, her quick-witted response was, “Well, my first disability is my glasses. I can’t see! But I also have down syndrome.”

There are so many limitations placed on people with disabilities, but many of these limitations can be overcome with enough drive and purpose. For Sarah, her heart belongs to the stage. She is enviably comfortable in front of a camera and is a jack-of-all-trades—she is a talented actress, musician, singer, and dancer—all because she works tirelessly to see her dreams become reality. She is currently taking vocal lessons, along with dance and guitar. All-the-while, she is writing a book to help spread the word that people with disabilities can do anything that they set their minds to. The book, Inspired, will feature chapters about her life, how she was raised, her independence, and, of course, her goals and aspirations.

Sarah has been working for over twelve years at Starbucks, as well as a second job at Timberline High School. She also volunteers at Shaw Mountain as a Bingo caller, with all of her “adopted

grandmas.” With two jobs, a dedicated volunteer-calling, and diving into her dreams of being on stage, Sarah has an uncanny ability to stay positive, all the while keeping extremely busy.

She is also involved in the Miss Amazing Program (missamazing.org), which focuses on growing the strengths of girls and women with disabilities. Sarah graciously passed her crown to the next Miss Amazing this year.

Sarah has many messages to bless the world with. “I want them to have courage and to be kind,” says Sarah, as she shares one of her many joyful words of wisdom. “I want to spread my big dreams.” And she is, without a doubt, spreading her dreams! She wants to remind the world to be forever thankful, grateful, and inspired! ¢ Follow Sarah’s journey on social media @SarahPattersonInspired!

EAGLE RECREATION Fun in the sun!

By Chelsea Chambers There is no time like the present to get out and enjoy this beautiful weather!

The intoxicating smell of blooming flowers, the gentle spring breeze as it rustles tree blossoms, and of course, all of the fun recreational activities that come along with Idaho in the springtime.

So, pull your summer totes out of the closet and get outside!

Hiking/Walking/Biking Whether you’re an experienced hiker or just looking to leisurely enjoy the scenery, there are dozens of places around Eagle and the surrounding areas to do just that. A more moderate trailhead is the Veteran’s Trail, a 2.3 mile loop. Or something less strenuous is the Eagle Pathways Trail, nestled near the river. For more trails in the area and directions to the trailheads, visit www.AllTrails.com. And for more Boise-specific trails outside and around the Eagle area, visit www.BoiseTrails.com.

Fishing ‘Tis the season to don your sunhats and head to the water! Eagle Island State Park has great fishing spots all throughout and they are constantly being stocked with new fish from the hatchery up the road. The Eagle Fish Hatchery is another great place to spend the day—here you can learn about the process of fish stocking in Idaho and how Fish and Game works diligently to keep the fish happy and healthy for all our recreational needs.

One of the best ways to find great—and full—fishing spots in the area is to visit the Department of Fish and Game’s webpage. They release an updated list of their stocking schedule, so you can know exactly when and where the water has been stocked. They have every fishing pond in the area listed here: https://idfg.idaho.gov/fish/southwest/stocking.

Golf Eagle Hills Golf Course is open to the public and a great way to spend a sunny afternoon! Set against a beautiful scenic backdrop, Eagle Hills is not only a top-notch professional golf course, but it is also an event venue, restaurant, and bar. Eagle Hills offers lessons for those looking to get into the sport or for anyone trying to shave a few points off their score. And afterward, head to their full-service restaurant for a cold drink and a buildyour-own burger!

Eagle Island State Park Eagle Island has absolutely everything for outdoor recreation. And I mean everything—swimming, fishing, disc golf, zip-lining, jogging, biking, grilling, and more! Whether you are with family, friends, or just the kids, Eagle Island has something for everyone. They provide a great play-area for the kiddos and more recreational activities than you could shake a stick at.

Not to mention, Zip Boise (located inside the park) is one of the longest zip lines in the state!

Our list could go on and on, but we think it’s better you try it out for yourself! Whether you are picking up a new sport or just looking to enjoy some sunshine, opt outside and check out some of Eagle’s incredible recreation spots! ¢ Learn more at Idahoparkspassport.com
