HELLO EM READERS!

As we enter the holiday shopping season, this issue will give you some great gift-giving ideas, as well as ways to contribute to the Eagle Community Food Bank in the article Eagle Gives.

This issue spotlights an incredible couple who have chosen Eagle as their Idaho retreat. Dr. Hebert Solow, former Head of MGM Studios, Paramount Television, and his wife, Dr. Harrison Solow, Pushcart Prize recipient, and Writing Professor, sit down with Eagle Magazine for an exclusive story.

These transplanted treasures of gold share their history with us. Speaking of history, one family is continuing the legacy of a ranch home by replicating the original house from the 1900s. The Klosterman’s passionate endeavor to preserve the heart of the property was a meaningful journey.

Passion pursues in our art community with Renae Hill’s new collection, A Tribute to Women in Watercolor. She plans to paint 100 women expressing the vast ways women make a difference. Another form of art is social media branding, and local Eagle resident Natasha Kravchuk (Natasha’s Kitchen) nails it with over 750,000 YouTube subscribers and 5.2 million Facebook followers on her simple cooking solutions. Good stuff.

Keep on reading and stay warm with the HOT cuisine feature, showcasing spicy and sizzling warm dishes from our local restaurant entrepreneurs.

Happy Holidays!

EAGLE AT LARGE Mindful of a growing community

BY PATRICIA MINKIEWICZ

Twenty-five years ago the movie Forrest Gump starring actor Tom Hanks was released and went on to win all the top Academy Awards. The movie began and ended with a white feather floating in the gentle breeze. As Mrs. Gump would say, “Life is like a floating feather. You never know where it’s going to end up.” Same goes for Eagle city’s Floating Feather Road. When driving along the road heading west past Linder Road, it becomes increasingly rural and a first-time driver is unsure just where it ends.

Zig-zagging and overcoming false endings, the Road eventually does stop at Munger Road in west Star City.

Like a floating feather and its namesake Road, a process of twists and turns has guided Eagle City over many years.

Different Mayors and City Councils have come and gone; rezoning for growth has been problematic; a Recession arrived along with needed serious Budget cutting; approvals of larger housing subdivisions have meant heavier traffic and attention to road safety and a need for more school rooms; outside threats to the serenity and rural nature of Eagle’s northern area and foothills continue; needed road construction and widening temporarily will worsen the driving experience and affect public safety.

Guarding the city’s potable water supply is ongoing. It

is hoped the November 5th City Election will produce a team of officials who will continue to be mindful of differences and respectful of all community residents while navigating the twists and turns associated with a growing city with a state highway or two running through it.

Meanwhile, November has arrived and Annual leaf raking will become an outdoor exercise and coats and jackets will hang front and center in closets. Remember, autumn leaves disposal companies will not accept leaves in plastic bags.

Still ahead are all the activities and events associated with the Holiday Season: Family gatherings during Thanksgiving week, Holiday Bazaars, colorful outdoor lights and décor. Christmas shoppers will learn the lyrics of holiday songs. Not to be missed on December 6th is the annual gala Eagle Country Christmas & Tree Lighting & Singing of Carols held at Heritage Park & Gazebo downtown.

Bundle up. From that point on, the holidays go into high gear and families celebrate them in their own ways.

The Twelve Days of Christmas end January 06, 2020, known as the Epiphany. Year 2019 will be history. ¢

Eagle’s Hottest Dishes

BY VERONICA LEMASTER

PHOTOGRAPHY RASE LITTLEFIELD

If you’re not sure where to dine in tonight, you’ve come to the right place.

It’s true- the city of Eagle is home to many crave-able restaurants that offer even hotter cuisines. As temperatures continue to drop, we set out to beat those winter blues and find the hottest dishes relative to spice and temperature at our local favorites- some new and others established, but you’ll be sure to love them all.

And yes, they are scientifically proven to warm you up!

14

BLUE TORO Opened earlier this year, Blue Toro brings a modern twist on Mexican Cuisine. The fun and relaxed atmosphere sits at 600 S. Rivershore Lane, and is open for lunch and dinner service Monday through Saturday, with happy hours, daily specials, and Margarita Madness (or Wine-aritas) offered throughout the week.

Our fav: While Blue Toro offers several delicious Mexican dishes, a must-try is the Camarones Al Diablo (also known as shrimp of the devil). They start off with sautéing the shrimp in a fire-roasted tomato and garlic Habanero sauce while throwing in tomatoes, onions, and other spices to create a perfectly balanced hot dish.

Laid over a bed of Spanish rice and fresh flour tortillas, you’ll be coming back for seconds (or even thirds!).

CACI WOOD-FIRED GRILL Italy for dinner, anyone? CACi focuses on rich culinary traditions of Sicily and southern Italy to create a classic Sicilian culinary experience. Using all-natural ingredients in their meals, sauces, pastas, doughs, each dish is sure to bring an eruption of flavor.

RICE CONTEMPORARY ASIAN CUISINE CACI WOOD-FIRED GRILL

Rush to 1592 E Riverside Dr for lunch or dinner Sunday through Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Thursday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. with happy hour daily from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Our fav: If you’re looking for a hot dish with a small kick, we recommend the Calabrian & Clams. Freshly steamed clams sit in a bed of white wine, garlic, lemon and Calabrian chili peppers in this antipasti dish.

Served with a side of crostini, you’ll be dreaming of this meal even as the weather heats up.

RICE CONTEMPORARY ASIAN CUISINE If you’re craving flavors from China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, or India, Rice Contemporary Asian Cuisine is the place for you. This Asian fusion restaurant brings authentic, fresh ingredients to Eagle from the Far East to create a variety of tasteful food all under one roof.

Open Monday through Saturday with lunch options from Monday through Friday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and daily happy hour specials from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Our fav: For temperature hot, one of our favorites from Rice is Vietnamese Pho Noodles. This delicious dish involves steamed rice noodles in tasty beef broth, bean sprouts and onion topped with thin tender sliced beef and garnished with green onion and cilantro, served with a side of fresh basil leaves, lime, jalapeño, and bean sprouts and served with a side of siracha spicy sauce and hoisin sauce to add the perfect kick.

PORTERHOUSE MARKET Since 2000, Porterhouse Market has been serving Eagle the freshest local ingredients with the perfect amount of creativity. Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m.

15

to 6 p.m. (5 p.m. for sandwiches) you can find handcrafted specialty sandwiches, barbeque sandwiches, hand tossed salads, and freshly homemade soup at this meat market and deli.

Find them at 600 S. Rivershore Ln for the perfect quick lunch or dinner.

Our fav: As the weather gets into those lower temps, we can’t help but crave a delicious bowl of hot soup to warm us up! A must-try for all Eagle residents is the Thai Chicken with Rice Soup made fresh at Porterhouse Market. They prepare the free-range chicken breast with a coconut milk base, portobello mushrooms, and bell peppers to create this richly flavored, lightly creamy soup. Served with a wedge of fresh bread, this dish is sure to have to you heating up in seconds.

GRIT AMERICAN CUISINE Focused on combining fresh ingredients while keeping affordability for guests, Grit offers Eagle a new take on classic dishes. Their menu, which changes based on what’s in demand, and what fresh foods are available seasonally, offers familiar dishes such as chicken pot pies, grilled-cheese sandwiches, and prime-grade rib eye with a fresh, local take.

Visit for lunch or dinner from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday at 360 S Eagle Rd. Our fav: Known as a southern favorite, we couldn’t help but recommend the Chicken Fried Chicken from Grit’s mouthwatering menu. A beautifully cooked pearl sugar biscuit paired with spicy fried chicken and smothered in a tequila chorizo gravy, this dish is both hot in temperature and in spice- perfect to keep us warm throughout the winter.

REMBRANDTS Rembrandts has the coolest hottest breakfast cuisine.

The breakfast and lunch destination strive to create community and creativity in all they do. Open daily from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., you can enjoy their beautiful interior and/or patio as you relax over an espresso, mimosa, or wine. Enjoy breakfast served all day along with delicious lunch items served from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. They even host private events and weddings (that’s how beautiful their interior is!) in the evenings to be more involved in the community.

Visit them at 93 S. Eagle Rd to see for yourself!

16

Our fav: Nachos for breakfast? Yes, please! Rembrandts serves delicious hot Breakfast Nachos that will have you craving them every day of the week.

They start with house-made tortilla chips that they pile with cotija cheese, scrambled eggs, black beans, and your choice of meat. Topped with pico de gallo, chipotle and cilantro lime crème, your taste buds will be on fire. ¢

Starships & Friendships The Inner World of Star Trek with Herb and Harrison Solow

REBECCA EVANS, INTERVIEWER

Idaho draws culture and is built on beauty and hidden treasures. I recently had the opportunity to conduct an interview tucked away near the Greenbelt. I felt as if I entered a hidden passage as I sat in the Idaho home of the former Head of MGM Studios, Paramount Television, and Desilu Studios, Herbert Solow and his wife, Dr. Harrison Solow, Pushcart Prize recipient, Literature, Theology, and Writing Professor, Author, Star Trek Authority, former nun, and true polymath. To be clear, Herb is the man responsible for developing and launching Star Trek and other iconic television shows and movies into the world.

Yes, we are in Idaho and the encounter feels both other-worldly and magical.

The synergy between Herb and Harrison is magnetic. Yet I can’t help wonder, why Idaho? So, I ask.

Rebecca: Your primary home is in California but you also live here, in Idaho, part time. Do you have family here?

Harrison: Yes. My mother lives here.

I’ve been coming here for visits since 1989 when the area was far more rural.

When Herb and I returned from the UK in 2010, we wanted to find a sort of writing retreat, a place I could work on PhD thesis and books and Herb could write his memoirs and a second book, while still able to return home for meetings, screenings and projects. Since my parents were here and we’d been overseas a long time, we decided to try to live here for a portion of the year. We found an enchanting place along the Greenbelt and were delighted with the quiet, the privacy, and this little house. That was nine years ago.

Rebecca: Do you have any other family?

26

Herb Solow and Dr Harrison Solow in their Idaho retreat.

Rebecca: What about you, Herb?

Herb: Home is where Harrison is.

Harrison: Well, that’s the best definition.

The two of us are a tribe.

Rebecca: I want to switch gears to Star Trek, specifically Leonard Nimoy. Can you tell us something special about him?

Herb: I’ll answer that, because I know Harrison won’t. Hopefully, she’ll give you permission to use my answer:

Publicity for Herb Solow’s Documentary of Elvis Presley: Elvis: That’s the Way It Is.

Harrison: I have two sons in California and a stepson in Canada. And their families, of course. Herb has a daughter back East. We each have a few cousins and I have one aunt. That’s all.

Rebecca: What do you like best about Idaho?

Herb: Peace and quiet. The natural beauty of the woods and rivers and hills. Very western.

Harrison: Yes, it feels like the real West. Like the one I grew up in. I also like the winters. Most people who live in more than one place go south for the winter. We’re the opposite.

The autumns, of course, are just as beautiful. Also, there are so many well-mannered people and very kind people (which are not always the same thing) and that’s delightful. It is very peaceful, as Herb says.

Rebecca: I know you’ve both lived in many different cultures and countries both before you were married and after. Can you each share with me your concept of “home”?

Harrison: I think I can answer that most fully with a quote from something I wrote about Wales: “We all belong to tribes. Some are of our own choosing, some we are born into, and some we create. This is the story of the last stop on a pilgrimage, in a history of tribal migration – from the sugar plantations of Hawaii, to an early precocity in the cultural urbanity of San Francisco, within the canonical sophistication of a classical Jesuit education, into the heady freedom of convent life and out into the tight restrictive enclosure of English expatriate society in Canada, far back along the wild shores of Nova Scotia, right through the center of Hollywood, into the living, breathing organism of Chassidism and out again. And deep into the heart of Wales.

I no longer belong to any one tribe. I am what my friend calls a ‘floater’ and what my novice mistress once called a pilgrim.

This I choose.”

Rebecca: So, home is everywhere?

Harrison: Everywhere and nowhere.

Probably the best kept secret in the Star Trek world (a hard world in which to keep a secret) is the relationship between Harrison and Leonard. Quite simply, he adored her. He confessed to me that he was a little in awe of her—he found her intelligence formidable—and her heart a refuge. She was his confidante. He talked to her about deeply personal things—religion, spirituality, his feelings, old wounds, new interests —a couple of relationships that troubled him.

Whenever he hadn’t heard from her for a time, he’d email or phone and say “Harrison, where are you? I need you.” Only he didn’t call her Harrison. He had a special name for her. It’s up to her if she would like to tell what it was.

Harrison: (smiling) No, she wouldn’t.

Herb: He had complete, and completely justified, trust in her.

Harrison: It was mutual.

Herb: The three of us were very close, but his bond with Harrison was extraordinary. It was reverent. These aren’t words I use often, but I’d say it was spiritual or mystical. What some people call soul-mates. They called it “the holy bonds of friendship.” I’d known Leonard for almost 50 years when he died, ever since I hired him for Star Trek in 1964. Gene Roddenberry first suggested Leonard to me and when I evaluated him, in addition to several other actors, for the part of Spock, I thought he had something special – he wouldn’t just play Spock, he would be Spock – so I told my business affairs person to have Leonard’s agent call me. And that was the beginning of a legend.

When Leonard met Harrison almost 30 years later—a few years before she and I met—I hadn’t seen him for quite a long time.

We were both in our in early sixties. Harrison was a generation younger, but an old soul, and as Leonard described it, they “recognized” each other instantly.

From my point of view, Harrison and Leonard were very much alike- intense, cerebral, reserved, joyful.

Rebecca: Why a secret?

Herb: Leonard was one of the most recognized people on the planet. More than any of the Star Trek actors, he had been scrutinized, invaded, pursued, etc. since 1966. People wanted to know everything about his life. Everyone wanted a piece of him. But he was a very private person and it was extremely difficult for him. I remember, as a young actor, he found it almost impossible to handle. He used to come see me about it, very troubled. Over the years, he managed to cope very well. But he said his bond with Harrison was the one relationship in his life that was completely his, not part of his public life. It was sacred to him. He kept it from everyone, even Bill, though one

Forty years later … two dear friends.

other friend knew about it. I also think he wanted to protect Harrison’s privacy. Our privacy.

So, we agreed to keep it private as long as he lived. Harrison still hasn’t spoken about him publicly, four years after his death. Until recently, she never even told her sons. That’s the extent to which she is trustworthy, because her sons are everything to her.

Rebecca: So, what was he really like, Harrison?

Harrison: He was very grateful. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend in the 25 years I knew him – and the 50 that Herb knew him. Over the years, the essential Leonard - sensitive, spiritual, serious, dedicated, talented, imaginative, ethical, profound, funny, sweet, fierce, poignant, tender, furious at times – perhaps in different proportions remained the same. Right, Herb?

Herb: I’d say that was pretty much it, yes.

Rebecca: That’s a pretty general statement. Harrison - can you give us any more of a hint about the inner man? Something that isn’t generally known?

Harrison: No. Rebecca: Harrison, the feud between Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner in the last years of Nimoy’s life is well known.

Can you tell us anything about that?

Harrison: I can tell you that it wasn’t a feud. Beyond that, I have no comment. It’s not anything I can discuss except with Herb and Bill.

Rebecca: Okay. What about Bill—or William—Shatner? Herb?

Herb: Completely reliable. I always liked Bill. When we developed the second Star Trek pilot, we knew it wasn’t going to be easy to cast. We were still at a loss as to who Captain Kirk was as a character. That question was answered when William Shatner walked through the door. One of the best decisions I made. Shatner was, by contract, the star of the show. However, by his talent and personality, contract or not, he was a star. He was both dynamic and dependable, two qualities that don’t always go together in a star. Very talented guy.

Rebecca: Harrison?

Harrison: Well, first let me qualify Herb’s “reliable.” It doesn’t

sound like a compliment. I used to hear it all the time among our director, producer, and exec friends describing certain actors. It seemed such a dull remark. But after living with a studio exec/producer/director for over a quarter century, I can tell you that that’s about the highest compliment they can give. It means everything to directors, producers, and studio executives to have a reliable actor. It means to them that he or she can be depended on for excellence.

Herb: Excellence here also means showing up on time. Knowing your lines. Being professional. That was Bill.

Rebecca: What about your own experience of William Shatner, Harrison?

Harrison: I don’t have much personal experience with William Shatner, though it seems like I have sometimes. Leonard talked about him all the time. All my Star Trek friends—cast and crew—had a lot to say about him. I first met him on the set of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country when I was there with Gene and, about a year later, I had a rather exquisite evening with him, which is chronicled on my Medium page here: http://bit.ly/SolowShatner Bill and I have dozens of mutual friends and acquaintances and we’ve been at many of the same events, conventions, awards ceremonies, and parties, but I’ve always been with my own group and he with his. When my book, Gene Roddenberry: The Last Conversation was published (under a different name and by three different publishers), I traveled on book tour, speaking at science fiction and Star Trek conventions dozens of times a year. Bill was a guest star at some of these conventions, but usually on different days.

That, with the notable exception above, was the extent of my acquaintance with William Shatner.

Rebecca: Can you tell our readers what your first impression of Mr. Shatner was then, in three words?

Harrison: I assume I don’t need to include drop-dead gorgeous, since that would have been easily discernible by anyone who saw him. Three words, then: Touching. Virile. Magnetic.

Rebecca: Touching?

Harrison: Yes. Very.

Harrison & Herb Solow on the way to the Academy Awards.

Rebecca: Can you talk about the first time Herb and you met?

Harrison: Ah. That was an explosive certainty. Within three months, we were together for life. But first we engaged in a huge argument within five minutes of our introduction.

Rebecca: What about?

Herb and Harrison: Star Trek.

Rebecca: Why? Herb: Let’s leave that for an event at which there is a question and answer session! It’s far too complicated to recount here.

Harrison: It really isn’t. He’s being kind. Read his book.

Rebecca: Who are your heroes? Harrison?

Harrison: I don’t have heroes. Not in the sense of public figures. If I were forced by some authority, I can’t imagine to name one, I’d have to say Mr. Rogers.

Rebecca: I didn’t expect that! Why Fred Rogers?

Harrison: He made vulnerable people, especially children, feel safe. I think we all feel safe if we know that good people are in the world, doing good things. The helpers, Mr. Rogers called them. “Look for the helpers.” (The real helpers, not the clueless ones whose “help” consists of barging into people’s lives and doing what they think is helping instead of actually helping.) Most of the people I would call heroes are not celebrities, but people who are part of my life, because I know what they do, quietly, obscurely to help others – and I know what it costs them. Like Michael, our handyman.

Rebecca: Your handyman?

Harrison: Yes. He makes us safe. Not because he was a Marine who served in Iraq, which he was and did, but because life can be a little scary when you can’t count on someone to fix things that break and create solutions for safety and protection. To do some of the things you can no longer do or perhaps you haven’t the talent or knowledge to do. Someone who lives with the horrors of war in his head, all the while making someone else’s day better, safer, happier. That’s Michael. And that’s a hero to me.

Rebecca: Herb – what about you?

Herb: In my business, the word “hero” usually refers to the

Leonard Nimoy and Harrison Solow: “the best kept secret in the Star Trek world” - Herb Solow

hero of a story/movie. Because of that, I don’t relate to the word in the same way that Harrison does. I see actors playing hero roles. To answer your question though, I’d say that we all have people we admire but “hero” is a burdensome title to saddle anyone with. No one’s a hero all the time. I think most people can be heroic at times, in certain circumstances, some maybe even most of the time in their lives. But, like Harrison, I believe that if they are, few people in the world will know about it.

Rebecca: With many writers/artists, I find that there is an initial spark that grows into something big and bold and beautiful.

Did you find this with your work?

Harrison: That’s really for the reader, viewer, listener, apprehender to decide. Those works of mine that have garnered accolades, achieved milestones or won awards did so because others judged them to be worthy, not me.

Herb: Well, certainly Star Trek is an example of something that was a simple idea that grew, because of a great many people, into something global. But it isn’t up to the makers (writers/ actors/execs/producers) to proclaim it as such.

Rebecca: Did any of your work surprise you?

Harrison: Yes. My PhD Thesis.

Herb: Yes. Star Trek. Also, a documentary I did with and about Elvis Presley.

Rebecca: Elvis Presley. That brings me to the incredible array of world-famous people who are, or were when they were alive, your friends.

Herb: Not all the people we worked with were friends.

Rebecca: You’ve worked with many legends: Lucille Ball, Elvis Presley, John Wayne, Frank Sinatra, Sting, David Lean, Robert Altman, among others. Not to mention the cast of Star Trek, Mission Impossible, Mannix, and so many other shows and movies. Some became your friends.

Herb: True, though not just the cast members. Actors are only one part of any production. Most of our friends are producers, directors, writers, musicians, costumers, art directors, and more. In addition, there are Harrison’s writer friends, astronaut friends, science and science-fiction friends, intellectual friends, etc. It was enlightening for us to introduce each other

Rebecca: What does that mean?

Harrison: It means, simply, that I love them. It means that I don’t want anything from them except their good company. I accept and delight in who they are - their idiosyncrasies as well as their virtues. I don’t want to be part of their family life. I don’t want to share their fame. I don’t want to be seen with them in public. I don’t want a romance. I don’t want to introduce my family or other friends to them. I don’t want them to read my work, recommend me for anything, write a book with me, be in one of their movies, suggest ideas for films to them or garner keepsakes from them. I have no agenda.

I’m happy in myself. I listen more than I talk.

But when I talk, I tell the truth. Even if it’s difficult. And I keep their secrets. Absolutely. I love them. That’s it.

Rebecca: Is that your definition of friendship?

Harrison: It’s my definition of a friend. If that dynamic is mutual, then, yes, it’s my definition of friendship.

Rebecca: What about you, Herb?

to the friends we had before we met. At our parties you might find a neurosurgeon in intense discussion with an Academy Award winning film editor, both discussing incisions. Or one of Harrison’s astronauts pointing out inconsistencies in science fiction space walks to a well-known science fiction writer.

Great evenings.

Rebecca: Harrison, your personal friends are equally illustrious; Isaac Asimov, Sir Arthur C. Clarke, Harlan Ellison, Robert Jastrow, Leonard Nimoy, and other Star Trek people.

Harrison: Not all of them are illustrious. Some live very obscure lives in monasteries and convents or tiny towns in Wales.

Or hamlets in Nova Scotia or Alpine villages in Switzerland.

But yes, I’ve been incredibly blessed with the friendship of some of the most creative and fascinating public figures in the world.

Herb: In Malibu, most of our neighbors were in the business.

Off the top of my head - Steven Spielberg, Robert Downey Jr, Martin Sheen, Cher, David Letterman, Linda Hamilton, James Cameron, Genevieve Bujould, Barbra Streisand, a few character actors - all lived on or near our street on Point Dume. Bob Dylan was our next-door neighbor at one time. It’s not just working with well-known people that brings one into contact.

Sometimes it’s just the street you live on.

Rebecca: Harrison, so many famous people consider you their trusted friend. Why do you think that is?

Harrison: Because I am one.

30

Herb: Oh, I’m very different from Harrison. I don’t have her patience for relationships. Or the inclination. Friendship is a vocation to Harrison. A very serious thing. I’m not that interested in developing friendships. Harrison is my Best Friend. We’ve always had a great circle of colleagues, acquaintances – and some close friends - mostly creative people, some execs or business people from the studios or networks and various artists, Harrison’s scientists and academics, and people in other fields. I’ve been happy with that. Just my wife, those friends, our work, the kids and grandkids. That’s all I need.

Rebecca: Do you have any friends in Idaho?

Herb: No. Harrison: We know some lovely people here but no, no real friends. We haven’t had the opportunity, really. At first, we traveled all the time and all we wanted was a retreat from an extremely busy life. Now we travel less, but it still seems there are too few hours in the day. Real friendship takes time.

We have some very kind and cordial neighbors. I suspect our dearest neighbor, Kevin, is actually an angel in disguise. We’re blessed in that regard. It seems recently, though, that a couple of people are potential friends. It’s too early to tell yet. But that would be nice.

Rebecca: What are you each doing now?

Herb: Well, right now, it’s Academy season. The season starts in October and continues through the end of December. Films arrive almost daily, and we suspend all other watching as we screen these films. This takes an enormous amount of time.

We watch and evaluate about 80 to 120 nominated films, documentaries and foreign film entries for the Academy Awards.

Usually, when in LA, we go to the Academy or Director’s Guild theatre to screen them. When we’re out of town, the studios send their entries in various categories to us. Harrison and I discuss every aspect of the films and then I cast my vote. I’m on committees in LA. I consult on film projects. I’m writing a book about my life in the business and another story which will also be a screenplay. I authenticate television and movie memora-

bilia. I’m an art glass expert so I’m involved in that world too.

Harrison and I have a couple of businesses, which take a great deal of management.

Harrison: I’m writing a book of essays, letters really, though my letters to friends are more like essays, which is what this book consists of. Also, a collection of short stories. I’m about to shop my children’s book about a little boy who goes on a journey through his own consciousness. I’m an advisor to students in my fields on their MA, MFA and PhD dissertations.

From time to time, I work with private and public institutes and people on highly confidential projects. I give talks and lectures on my books and other work, on Fiction and Non-Fiction Writing, Professional Writing, Star Trek, Theology, Science Fiction, and my own journey through life. I sometimes serve on advisory boards. I talk to my Mom every day and try to see her as often as possible. I deal with business, work on my family’s charitable trust, look after the animals, and try to keep the domestic ship sailing smoothly.

Rebecca: What do you do for fun?

Harrison & Herb: We don’t have fun.

Harrison: Let me qualify that. Our work is our fun. We work in the entertainment industry. Our idea of fun is not entertainment. We’ve always had fun with the peripheral activities associated with our work and our religious and civic communities, such as attending premiers, the Academy Awards and concerts. We see friends and support our actor friends when they’re in plays in town. I love these events because there are always so many deeply talented and creative people all in one room. It’s exhilarating. I have an eclectic cornucopia of interests that absorb me, but they aren’t really describable. Like my perfection collection and speech ironing and illuminated manuscripts. Those are fun. I love to swim. I take courses at Harvard EdX, - Copyright Law, The History of the Book, Greek Heroes, and Justice so far. Not everyone’s idea of fun but it is mine.

Herb: I make jewelry. I paint. I interview prospective students for Dartmouth. A few other things. We both love putting deals together.

Harrison: We like baseball. We used to go to Dodger Stadium frequently. Before I met Herb, I went with friends as the guest of Tommy LaSorda. After Herb and I married, we went as the guest of one of Herb’s friends, the Vice President of Communications for the team. But I don’t like sitting in a VIP box at a game, eating a meal served under silver. To me, that’s not a ball game. I like (veggie) hot dogs and lemonade in the stands.

Anyway, I am a Giants fan, having grown up in the Bay Area so I’m not altogether popular at Dodger Stadium!

Rebecca: Who has influenced you the most?

Herb: There was a vice principal of my high school who saw a future for me. She wrote a letter about me to Dartmouth, commending my talents and industry, asking them to consider me for entry into the college. I hadn’t asked her to do this. In fact, I didn’t know anything about it until afterward, but it changed my life. I attended Dartmouth.

The great poet, Robert Frost, whom I used to serve tea at the local drugstore counter in Hanover after he had retired from teaching at Dartmouth. Because of him, I learned to stop and think and listen to life in a way I had not done before. My Senior Dissertation was on Robert Frost and his work.

Hank Greenberg, the star player of the Detroit Tigers, who showed me that anything is possible.

Abe Lastfogel. He was the president of the William Morris Agency, where I began my career after graduating from Dartmouth. He taught me respect for talent. He was always deeply cognizant of the great gift of the actor/artist and he passed that on to me. When I first met Frank Sinatra, for example, long before we worked together, it was the influence or Mr. Lastfogel that helped me view him not just as a personality, but as an artist. The same with Katherine Hepburn, Judy Garland, Edward G. Robinson, Lucille Ball, with whom I worked very closely when I ran Desilu for her years later and many others. Because of Mr. Lastfogel, I’ve always had a special respect for actors.

And Harrison, of course. Absolutely. But that’s a private matter.

Rebecca: What about you, Harrison?

Harrison: There’s a different answer to that for every age and stage of life and every field and culture of which I am or have been a part, every quality of life that I hold dear. I’ll name a few: Chronologically: My parents, the church, the scholars (nuns and priests) who taught me, my cousin Marsha. Miss Timoveev, my first librarian. A Franciscan friar I met at age 14 and to whom I remain profoundly close today, Brother Joachim Grant. My brilliant professor whom I met at age 22 and is still one of my dearest, closest friends, Dr Christopher Terry. He completely transformed my intellectual life. My boys, both as children and as adults, with their wisdom(s), The incomparable Arthur C. Clarke. Majestic Canada, where I lived for 20 years. A couple of rabbis. Leonard Nimoy of course. Herb, which goes without saying. My lawyers are big influencers. I love my lawyers. The land and people of Wales. So many more extraordinary people.

Mostly though, I’ve been influenced by books - from Aristotle to Anita Brookner. Hundreds and hundreds of books. Every day, throughout my entire life or at least since I was three, when my mother taught me to read. As Walt Whitman, a major influence, said: “I contain multitudes.”

We all do. We’re all, to appropriate Tennyson, “a part of all we have met.”

As I continue to sit with Herb and Harrison, sipping strong coffee and enjoying not just the exchange, but the energy and synergy between the two of them, a squirrel approaches their back door, and, I kid you not, taps on the window.

Herb: He’s ready to eat.

Harrison rises and gets a few peanuts, still in shell, and hands one to the squirrel. He takes it in his paws and runs off and I chuckle, feeling immersed into a Snow White scene—something magical and peaceful and beautiful—as our time together continues unfolding.

EAGLE GIVES Helping the Eagle Community Foodbank

BY ERIKA HEEREN

PHOTOGRAPHY EMMA THOMPSON

‘Tis the season for giving! As we move into the holiday season, our local community non-profits are gearing up to help those in need. One of these organizations is the Eagle Community Foodbank.

In an environment of prosperity, it can be difficult to imagine how many families are affected by poverty and food insecurity. According to a recent report by Feeding America, food insecurity affects more than 200,000 people in Idaho alone, with nearly 70,000 of those being under the age of 18.

The Eagle Community Foodbank opened in 2012 and has served the Eagle and Star communities ever since. The organization holds a “neighbors helping neighbors” philosophy and primarily works with families in Eagle and Star. They are a completely independent non-profit and rely entirely on the generous community support from individuals, busi-

nesses, schools, organizations, and churches in the area.

“We are fortunate to be part of a community that is very generous and supportive of one another. Together we can make a difference in Eagle and help our neighbors who are facing food insecurities,” Eagle Food Bank representative Lisa Lavin explained.

The Foodbank’s mission is to provide support to those who are facing food insecurities, including families, young adults, and the elderly. The Foodbank provides three food distributions every month. They place no limitations on the number of times a family/person can partake in these distribution days throughout the year, and hold special distribution dates for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

raised through Albertsons’ campaign enables the Foodbank to give holiday meals to their patrons at both the Thanksgiving and Christmas food distributions.

Boy Scouts of America is holding its annual Scouting for Food drive on the second Saturday in November. The food that is collected by the Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts in Eagle is usually donated to the Eagle Community Foodbank.

Businesses Unite for Eagle Community Foodbank Local business owners are also getting in the spirit of giving, and they encourage their fellow Eagle residents to do the same.

Throughout the year, local businesses, schools, churches, organizations, and families hold food drives to collect non-perishable (boxed, canned or bag-sealed) food and personal care items. The foodbank also receives produce and bakery items from Albertsons every month, bread from Franz Baker, and fresh fruits and vegetables from caring citizens.

Eagle Albertsons’ manager Tom Holloway has been a staunch supporter of the Eagle Community Foodbank since its inception.

“I love being involved with our Eagle community and a big part of that is working with our Eagle Foodbank. We have partnered with them since [they started] and it is good for folks to know that [families have] needs here in the Eagle area too. We work with [the foodbank] year-round. With the holidays approaching, we are starting our biggest promotion – our Albertsons Holiday Bucks program - all the money raised goes to suppling a holiday turkey dinner that feeds a family of four to five,” says Holloway.

This holiday season, meals and supplies will be distributed on Tuesday, November 26th from 6 – 8 p.m. and Tuesday, December 17th from 6 – 8 p.m.

Local Events & Opportunities to Get Involved: If you are interested in donating, the following events are taking place around Eagle and Star.

The City of Eagle provides a bundle of leaf bags to each household in exchange for a canned food donation. Bags will be available at City Hall (660 E. Civic Lane) from October 7 to November 22 or while supplies last. All canned food donations go to the Eagle Community Foodbank. The recycled leaves will be ground up and used as a soil amendment.

Eagle Kiwanis will be holding its 15th annual Food and Turkey Drive supporting the Eagle Community Foodbank and Hope Lutheran Church Foodbank on November 26th from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm, in front of Eagle Albertsons. The turkeys that are collected from this event are given to patrons of the Eagle Community Foodbank at the Thanksgiving and Christmas food distributions.

Eagle Albertsons is holding its annual Holiday Bucks campaign in November to collect money for holiday meals which include a turkey breast, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, and rolls. The money

American Family Insurance Agency owner Peter Dover encourages the food drives and suggests that local businesses provide aid in the form of food, toy, and clothing drives throughout the year, not just the holidays. By partnering with organizations like the Eagle Kiwanis, his agency has been able to help the Eagle Community Foodbank through various food drives throughout the year.

“Organizations like the foodbank have a year-round need,” Dover explained. “It’s important for businesses to give back. Having a heart for service is important. That’s what makes the community a better place, and helps it thrive.”

Businesses interested in becoming involved can call the Eagle Community Foodbank at (208) 631-0702 or sending an email to eaglefoodbank@gmail.com. Representatives will work with you to set up a food drive on nonperishable food and personal care items.

If you are planning on making a dry food or canned food donation, there are bins located at Albertson’s on Eagle Road, Eagle Public Library, Eagle Fire Station #1 on Iron Eagle Drive, and Idaho Youth Ranch to deliver items of that nature. ¢

A NEW LOOK IN EAGLE MyKala and Co. Salon opens its doors

BY MONICA PIERCE PHOTOGRAPHY EMMA THOMPSON

MyKala Bowlby is an Idaho native with a passion for giving her clients beautiful hair and an outstanding customer experience.

Born and raised in Salmon, Idaho, Bowlby moved to the Treasure Valley at the age of 16. After graduating high school a year early, she attended the prestigious Toni & Guy Hairdressing Academy where she completed her studies within a year, earning every available certification. After six more years of experience as a commissioned and then independent stylist, with a growing reputation as one of Treasure Valley’s top up-and-coming stylists, Bowlby turned her attention to fulfilling her long-term goal of opening her own salon.

The first salon Bowlby worked at early on in her career was in Eagle. With her existing clientele residing here, she knew she wanted Eagle to be the home of her first salon. In 2018, Bowlby began seeking the perfect space, looking specifically for a location that offered plenty of natural light with a bright and airy feel - the ideal environment for a salon that would specialize in hair coloring and extensions.

Mykala then discovered the space that was previously Bella Beauty Supply and Salon, which is nestled in a convenient but quiet location in the very heart of Eagle. After evaluating 13 other locations, a year later the space was still available, and Bowlby knew the space at 46 Eagle River Street was meant to be.

After a fresh makeover for the 13-year-old space, giving it new life as a light and airy modern salon, MyKala and Co. was ready to open its doors.

Officially opened on August 1st of 2019, the salon is now in full swing. The salon has several specialist stylists including Ashley Enstrom who came from the California salon that created the brand, Pulp Riot; a popular fashion color line. MyKala and Co. stylists bring expertise, creativity, and top-notch customer care to every client visit.

In Bowlby’s words, MyKala and Co. Salon offers a high-quality experience to clients with all types of hair care needs, in a warm and inviting atmosphere. When you step into the salon, you are sure to be greeted by a friendly staff member, offered your choice from a variety of beverages, while engaging with your stylist to get the exact cut and color you’ve been looking for.

According to Bowlby’s business manager (and soon-to-be-husband), Derek Lemon, the new salon is the first of what will likely be many MyKala and Co. salons, as the duo plans to expand and franchise in the future.

MyKala and Co. stylists are looking forward to seeing familiar and many new faces in the salon, especially since, for a limited time, new clients receive a free haircut with any color service. So, call (208) 971-3535 today to book your appointment.¢ Visit mykalaandco.com to learn more about the services offered.

A TRIBUTE TO WOMEN IN WATERCOLOR The art of Renae Hill

BY KAYLI CORBIN PHOTOGRAPHY EMMA THOMPSON

A woman with a voice is, by definition, a strong woman. –Melinda Gates Beauty and womanhood are so inherently intertwined within our social constructs and perspective of the world that it’s completely common to hear a woman referenced as a ‘work of art’.

Art is beautiful. Women are beautiful. But what, more than beauty, can both women and art offer us? How can we portray the strength, compassion, tenacity, or struggle of women?

Renae Hill’s new collection, A Tribute to Women in Watercolor, challenges our perspective of what it means to be a woman.

She plans to paint 100 women in watercolor. Hill shares, “My paintings will show the vast ways women make a difference in the world and how their lives inspire others. I interview each woman to get a vision of her journey. I then do a painting of her in what she is passionate about. She might be a teacher, musician, bee keeper, scientist, mother, nurse, doctor, pilot, truck driver, or artist from any country in the world.”

Art has been a centerpiece in Hill’s upbringing, and she prides herself in being able to convey the beauty around us through her mediums. She paints because

INSIDE NATASHA’S KITCHEN World-famous food blogging family creates holiday memories in Eagle

BY LIZA LONG PHOTOGRAPHY EMMA THOMPSON

It’s the American Dream: Girl meets boy, girl and boy fall in love, start a family and a food blog, and become world-famous. For Natasha and Vadim Kravchuk, that dream is a reality built on hard work, traditional Ukrainian recipes, and a tremendous sense of gratitude.

the globe. Natasha has been named as one of Forbes Magazine’s top ten food influencers, and she has been featured in a variety of publications from Bon Appetit to Better Homes and Gardens.

But her main focus is always on her fans.

“The most rewarding part of our work is the feedback that we get from our readers,” Natasha told me when we met in her eponymous kitchen in late October. “We do this for the countless moms whose picky eaters came back for seconds, readers who shared how their fiancé or in-laws were impressed with something they made, and people who have fallen in love with cooking again from all ages and walks of life.”

Natasha and Vadim, who both came to the United States as refugees from Ukraine when they were children, grew up eating traditional Ukrainian and Russian dishes. They met when Vadim was visiting family here. “It turns out that my dad and her mom knew each other as children,” Vadim told me. The couple now has two children of their own, a 10-year-old boy and a 4-year-old girl.

Natasha’s Kitchen.com got its start in 2009, when Natasha was looking for traditional Ukrainian and Slavic recipes online—and found nothing. “I had to go to old cookbooks at the library,” she told me, showing me some of her hard-to-find sources. She wanted to share the delicious and budget-conscious recipes of her childhood with a wider audience—and her videos and recipes took off. Within a few years, both Natasha and Vadim were so busy creating content that they left their full-time jobs (Natasha

Most of their family lives here in the Treasure Valley, which means that both Thanksgiving and Christmas are celebrated with “the biggest food party ever.” Natasha is one of five girls, and they all bring American and traditional Ukrainian dishes to the holiday table. “The dessert buffets are just incredible,” Natasha said, “And for Thanksgiving, we have 20 side dishes.” She shared one of her personal favorites, a twist on the traditional Shuba salad recipe of her childhood, with our readers. Natasha also hosts gingerbread house and sugar cookie decorating parties for her children and their cousins throughout the holidays.

When I asked Natasha and Vadim if they had any advice for wouldbe Internet stars, Vadim noted that their very first videos were shot using an iPhone. “Just start,” he told me. “Don’t wait until you reach perfection.” While their current content is polished and professional, they’ve learned many of their skills along the way.

“Our original videos are still posted,” he said. “We like to see how far we have come.”

“With each recipe and each video, we try to improve something,” Natasha added. “We don’t go fancy. Our recipes are family-friendly and budget-friendly.”

As we surveyed their beautiful kitchen together, it was clear that the couple is grateful for the opportunity to share their passion with others. “We feel blessed,” Natasha said, looking up at her husband with a soft smile. “The most rewarding thing is how many people and families are blessed and touched by our recipes.” ¢ Shuba with Salmon, a twist on Herring Salad Natasha’s tasty update on a traditional Ukrainian holiday side-dish is named after the word for “fur coat.” For step-by-step video instructions, visit natashaskitchen.com

The truth is that their blog is a full-time job, and they’ve even hired three assistants.

RISING FREE Eagle-based company releases first feature film

BY ERIKA HEEREN

Local film company Lightfall Films is bringing a feature-length film, Rising Free, to theaters nationwide on December 6th. Executive Producer Lindsey Brooks took some time to discuss the inspiration behind the movie with Eagle Magazine.

Rising Free portrays the harrowing journey of a young woman running from the throes of prejudice. Taken in by a gracious pioneer family, she learns to stand in newfound hope but is soon tested by unforeseen tragedies. In a vast and unforgiving wilderness, she must embrace this foreign hope within or surrender to shadows of darkness that loom over her.

CO M M U N I T Y

Film fans will appreciate the breathtaking cinematography and compelling story. Created from a perspective of faith, Rising Free seeks to be more than just a feel-good tale. The team at Lightfall Films hopes that it will speak into the lives of the people who watch the film and bring hope.

“We truly hope audiences would walk away from Rising Free being reminded that even in hard times, they can overcome. Even in darkness, they can rise above; even when hope seems too far from reach, they will carry on and persevere. We want every viewer to feel welcome, to feel like they are part of this story, and this journey in hopes that these characters truly feel like family,” explained Brooks.

Brooks, and many of the Lightfall Films team hail from Eagle. Many of the cast and crew, including the lead actors Melanie Foust (Nakomay) and Bob Grove (Thomas), are also involved in different areas of ministry. This mindset has fueled the film’s creation and is present in the themes throughout the movie.

Delta Dental of Idaho presents

TOOTH TRUTHS℠ - Heather A. Brown, RDH, MPH -

Be thankful for your teeth Leaves falling from trees in autumn remind me to be thankful for the teeth I have. Sound odd? It comes from the fact that our baby teeth are referred to as deciduous teeth. Like trees? Yes, like trees! Our baby teeth fall out the way leaves fall off a tree. Deciduous. Plus it’s a fun word to say, right? But our baby teeth fall out as our permanent teeth move in behind them. We get one set of permanent teeth and they’re usually in place by age 12. Think about all of the things you go through in life from age 12. Playing with friends, sports teams, bike riding, and so many other things that might have an impact on your teeth. If you’re well into adulthood and still have all of your teeth, good job! Not everyone can say that.

What’s the big deal? You have 32 teeth, right?

So what if you lose one or two?

Your teeth play a bigger role than just chew food.

Teeth are an integral part of the structure of the jaw bone. Tooth loss means more than a space in your gum line, it’s a loss of structural support that affects the way you look, chew and speak; it weakens the teeth on either side of the space, and allows the underlying jawbone to deteriorate.

For Brooks, being a part of a film that has the intention of making a profound impact has made all the difference. She hopes that the movie will be the catalyst in a journey of helping others in need.

“The message is so powerful and means so much to me and has truly touched my heart,” says Brooks. “Losing my husband at a very young age and then my sister a few years ago, I could relate so much with the character of Nakomay. After losing everything in her life, she [finds] hope to rise again. [I hope] that this film will not only touch people’s lives but also bring forgiveness, hope, and faith never to give up.”

Though not filmed in Idaho, the production team wanted to stay within the lines of authenticity given the nature of the period piece. They filmed the movie in Oregon in historic homes, mountains, on the coast, and amid the open plains. Treasure Valley residents may recognize some of these iconic Pacific Northwest locales.

Rising Free has already garnered attention at the European Film Awards, winning Best Cinematography and Best Original Score.

Rising Free stars Samantha Droke Tomchik, Melanie Foust, Stephan Lunsford, Bob Grove, and Elias Kamplain. It was written

by Beth Johannesson, and directed by Christian Johannesson. ¢

Yes, there are ways to replace missing teeth: bridges, implants, and dentures to name a few. But these are expensive, time consuming, and sometimes require filing down the healthy teeth on either side of the space in order to support the dental replacement device.

Your own real teeth are best and as you age it’s more and more important to properly take care of them. Preventive care, like brushing twice a day (for 2 minutes each time) and flossing at least once a day is effective in maintaining your oral health at home. If you’re a smoker please consider quitting. Besides the risk you run with lung and throat cancers, tobacco use (of any kind!) is associated with bad breath, yellow teeth, tooth and gum damage that can lead to tooth loss, oral cancer, and a host of other oral diseases. And yes, this includes vaping! Get regular checkups and oral cancer screenings from your dentist and ask about other ways to improve your oral health.

Be thankful for your teeth, they’re the only ones you get!

MY GREAT-AUNT NELLIE

BY DIANE DORIUS

PHOTOGRAPHY EMMA THOMPSON

I have traveled to Boise from Northern Virginia frequently over the last 11 years, ever since my daughter Kristen Burris and her family moved here from the San Diego area.

About a month before my latest trip, I remembered that my great - aunt Nellie McArthur MacPherson had lived in Idaho with her husband Angus but I did not know where. I searched the internet to see whether there was any mention of Nellie or Angus living in the Boise area. The first article that popped up was a reference to Nellie in an Eagle Magazine article. Nellie lived in the hills near Stack Rock, just a few miles from my daughter in Eagle! That was the first coincidence linking Nellie and her great-great niece Kristen.

The second coincidence was that both Nellie and Kristen were featured in Eagle Magazine. Nellie was the focus in a May 2014 article about her biography Deep Stuff written by local authors Celeste Rush and Linda Winer. Kristen was featured in a June 2013 article focusing on her recognition as a “Top Doc” of Eagle, Business Woman of Eagle and Business Woman of the Year in Southern Idaho and her success as gifted and caring acupuncturist specializing in women’s fertility at Eagle Acupuncture, a clinic established by Kristen and her husband Tony.

Could there be more parallels between Nellie and Kristen who were born 82 years apart? I don’t remember when I first heard about Nellie. I suspect it was from stories my grandmother, Carrie

50

CO M M U N I T Y

MacArthur Dorius, told me when I was a child about her glamorous sister who left rural Utah to go to Washington, D.C. to care for the children of a U.S senator, travelled to Europe as a chaperone for an uninhibited young American actress named Talullah Bankhead, and eventually moved to Idaho where she met a charming man who swept her off her feet and persuaded her to move to a homestead near Eagle.

Like Nellie, Kristen became very familiar with Washington, D.C. She was born in our capital city. and spent her childhood and youth exploring that city and living in Northern Virginia. One summer in high school, just like Nellie, she had a full-time job caring for the child of a member of the U.S. Congress. Another similarity occurred in her freshman year in college when Kristen was assigned a triple room. She and one of her roommates (who amazingly is now an environmental attorney in Boise) were very neat and organized (a necessity for sharing a triple). The third roommate was a free and uninhibited spirit who was, well, not neat. However, she was very talented and went on to become a well-known actress - Jennifer Garner.

One of my cousins was one of the boys who spent summers with Nellie and Angus on the farm. One summer, as his mother was driving the car up the mountain to drop him off for the summer, they rounded a bend and noticed Nellie working in the vegetable garden weeding, a pretty arduous task on the farm. What was not routine was that on this very hot summer day, Nellie was weeding in the nude. How does this story connect with my daughter?

Nellie learned while traveling in Germany in the 1920’s that many people enjoyed nude sun-bathing, believing that the more exposure to the sun the healthier. Being a practical woman living on

an isolated farm, Nellie combined her farm work with her health routine. Kristen is a dedicated and talented acupuncturist who has made it her life’s work improving and restoring the health of her patients through the use of Chinese medicine, acupuncture and herbs. She often recommends that her patients expose some of their skin to sunshine for 20 minutes a day to help with vitamin D absorption, a vitamin most women in Idaho need to increase.

And how did Nellie and Kristen both end up in Idaho? Both were looking for a better place to live and work. Nellie lived in Utah for a while after her adventures in Washington, D.C. and Europe but could not find satisfactory employment. So, at the age of 40 she followed her father to his farm in Nampa, Idaho and eventually started working on a farm owned by her great uncle Rex Jensen near Boise. Although becoming a wife and mother was never part of her life plan, when she met Angus MacPherson a tall, handsome Scot who was a talented herdsman filled with humorous and exciting tales about life on the ranch and who loved to dance and sing, their mutual attraction lead to marriage and a move to Angus’ homestead close to Stack Rock near Eagle. Kristen and Tony met in graduate school and married soon after graduation. But after several years of long commutes to their acupuncture clinic near San Diego, the high cost of living and running a business, gang violence, the birth of two sons and the recognition that the schools in their community did not meet their standards, and their desire to live in an area where they could enjoy easy access to soul-renewing mountains, lakes and rivers, they settled in Eagle.

There is another similarity between Nellie and Kristen - their love and dedication to their children. Nellie was in her 40’s and Angus was in his 50’s when they married so she never gave birth to any

children. But they created a caring home for many children they considered their own. When Nellie’s sister-in-law had her 5th child and collapsed from post-partum depression, Nellie and Angus (who had only been married for 3 months) did not hesitate to take in the baby and a 2-year-old. Their small home in the hills had no electricity and no running water, and they grew or hunted all their food. But those children were their family for 12 years until their father could resume their care. Each summer other nephews from Utah and California would turn up to help on the farm and explore the mountains and rivers until it was time to go back home for school. Kristen and Tony are involved and loving parents to my grandsons Colton 11 and Jackson 13. It’s hard for me to keep up with their schedule of chores, studies, soccer practices and games, trips to McCall to hike and ski, and swimming and paddle boarding on the Boise River. But like Nellie and Angus, Tony and Kristen are making certain their children are living full and adventurous childhoods they will never forget.

I spent some time with Nellie in the 1960’s when we both lived in California. She attended my wedding in 1967 wearing an elegant black lace dress designed by Elsa Schiaparelli in 1923. She even wrote to the San Francisco Examiner to urge them to cover my wedding, in the “style of the London Times”! If they had ever met, I’m sure she and Kristen would have had a lot to talk about. ¢ Diane Dorius is a retired attorney living in Arlington, Virginia who enjoys visiting her daughters in Eagle and New Hampshire, performing in two modern dance groups, singing, and volunteering with several nonprofit organizations.

BLUE TORO RESTAURANT A matador, a blue bull, and a restaurateur walk into a bar…

BY KAYLI CORBIN PHOTOGRAPHY RASE LITTLEFIELD

It all started with an online bidding war. A vintage, velvet painting of a matador and a blue bull brought acute nostalgia to Brandt Casey.

It reminded him of his grandfather, and he was willing to pay more than the next guy to get his hands on it. Between back and forth bids, Brandt was successful and scored this special piece of memorabilia.

His wife asked how much he paid for the painting and he responded, “Don’t worry, I’ll build a restaurant around it someday.”

The Casey family is from Boise and moved to Eagle about three years ago. They love the sense of community and wanted to create an establishment that is truly local, serving nearby neighborhoods with a fun

54 54

CUISINE

and relaxed gathering place. They’ve established a customer base they describe as “genuinely nice and exceedingly gracious guests.”

BLUE TORO WILL BE HOSTING A FREE THANKSGIVING

Family history plays an important role in the inception of Blue Toro. Brandt’s dad started Café Ole in 1981. In 1987 Brandt started bussing tables and over the years he’s gained experience in everything from washing dishes to bartending and general management. His time in the restaurant industry fuels a passion for creative dishes and Blue Toro is the perfect outlet for that.

BUFFET FROM 2:00 TO 5:00 PM ON THANKSGIVING.

Brandt shared, “I wanted to create a concept that was a little different than a regular Mexican restaurant. I wanted to have recipes that I enjoy, that I believe others would enjoy and create a fun, easy, local place featuring not only Mexican food, but great burgers and sandwiches. I love the ‘Funky Tacos’ listed on our menu.”

AND ALL PROCEEDS WILL GO TO THE EAGLE

ANYONE WHO MAY NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD THANKSGIVING DINNER, THOSE WHO CAN’T COOK FOR THEMSELVES, OR THOSE WITH NO PLACE TO GO, AND THOSE WHO JUST WANT TO SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY. THEY WILL BE ACCEPTING VOLUNTARY DONATIONS DURING THE DINNER COMMUNITY FOOD BANK. SYSCO AND NICHOLAS FOODS WILL BE DONATING SOME OF THE FOOD.

One of the crowd favorites is The California Burrito.

A carne asada burrito filled with French fries is sure to hit the spot. The Killer Fish Tacos are made with wild line Atlantic cod, hand dipped in beer batter, and served with cabbage and a special white sauce just like in San Felipe, Mexico. Their ‘Funky Taco’ options include Crispy Potato Tacos, which are vegetarian and full of flavor. You can even get a delicious Cholula Fried Chicken Sandwich. The fun part about Blue Toro is that they break the mold of traditional Mexican cuisine.

Blue Toro has become so much more than a vintage painting with sentimental value. The vibe at Blue Toro is laid back and relaxing. A coin operated ‘blue toro’ sits in the lobby and is a crowd favorite for all ages. Fun and food are at the center of this Eagle hot spot. Brandt puts it perfectly by saying, “…we are a full service, fun, sit down restaurant with great ambience, a wide selection of beer and wine, scratch made food and the best wine-a-rita in town.”¢

HISTORICAL HOME PROJECT IN EAGLE Local family is bringing the past to the present

BY ERIKA HEEREN

Eagle has a rich history in rural life with a small-town feel. While today’s Eagle is becoming a growing community of commerce and suburban life, one family is continuing the legacy of one of Eagle’s original farm sites.

When Jane Klosterman purchased the home with her first husband in 1993, she was drawn to the classic old-town feel of the property. “It always felt like it was part of the heart of the old Eagle farming community; a time when everyone was neighborly and spent Sunday afternoons calling on one another! I guess I always felt more like a steward of the place than a property owner,” she explained.

Klosterman believes the home was built in 1919 based on the dates on some newspaper clippings that were stuffed into the installation of the original home. Sitting on just over 11 acres, the original house was only 800 square feet. The property hosted a couple of free-standing ranch hand buildings, a hay barn, and an 8-stall dairy barn with calving stalls.

“We been visited by people whose grandparents or great grandparents have lived there, and they told us that it had been a prune farm and a dairy at one time,” Klosterman said.

Initially, Klosterman intended to maintain the original buildings as her family grew. The family grew alfalfa, raised children, and enjoyed a quiet life in Eagle until the passing of Klosterman’s first husband in 2003.

58

H I S TO R Y

Since then, Klosterman has remarried and moved back onto the property. Shortly after, she and her husband Ed Coulter realized that the family needed more space.

So, she partnered with Eagle builder Wayne Swanson of Wayne Swanson Construction and designer Noelle Martinez of Studio Boise to create a new home on the property that pays proper homage to the rich history.

“I loved the original old farmhouse. When it became clear that it needed to be torn down I worked with Noelle, who understood what I was trying to do. We used some things from the old house - like some of the old doors and concrete sinks. We followed the old footprint of the old place to some degree. I wanted to keep some of the moments from the original house – like looking out the sunroom to the trees.

The kitchen is also in the same spot, looking out to the barn. So, even though it’s a brand-new house – it has a very similar feel.”

This blending of old and new includes a completely new home while retaining the original barn and outbuildings. The home itself has kept the unique farmhouse appeal – setting it apart from many of the newer home designs in Eagle.

HOLIDAY OPEN HOUSE Featuring Rob Hart THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14TH 4:00 - 8:00PM

I’ve had people look for the property, and they keep driving by it because they don’t realize they’re driving by a new house. It does look like an older traditional home. That’s what I was trying to achieve.”

Throughout it all; the history and the people who have touched the land over the years will remain a part of the spirit of the property and the community around it. ¢

CROSSING THE RIVER Pedestrian bridge will improve safety, reduce traffic, and connect community

BY MONICA PIERCE PHOTOGRAPHY EMMA THOMPSON

Twenty-five years ago, when the stretch of Eagle Road that crosses over Boise River was built, there were less than 10,000 residents in the City of Eagle. At that time, there was no need to accommodate any pedestrian traffic crossing the river.

Now, with more than 30,000 residents and growing at a steady rate of 4.5% annually, roughly one fourth of Eagle’s population lives south of the river. But with no safe or reasonable route for pedestrians and cyclists to cross the river into downtown Eagle, the city is disconnected and plagued by traffic and congestion.

60

R E C R E AT I O N

In 2013, the city began evaluating the best way to make this crucial junction more pedestrian-friendly. The city initially considered options that would utilize the existing roadway such as the addition of barriers or re-striping to define safe crossing for pedestrians. But at a cost of roughly $500,000 with no assurance that the road wouldn’t someday be widened by the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) and eliminate any pedestrian accommodations, it was determined that modifications to the existing bridge was not the best solution.

City leadership agreed that a separate struc-

ture that runs parallel to the roadway, connecting the greenbelt paths on either side of the river, was in fact the best solution. A separate structure dedicated to pedestrians and cyclists ensures long-term viability, while allowing ITD to do what it might need to do in the future to accommodate vehicle traffic on the Eagle Road bridge.

With a plan in place, the city began working with the Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho to come up with a design for the pedestrian bridge and in 2014 a Project Development application was submitted to the state.

At the city’s open house on September 23rd, citizens were asked to rate the importance of the pedestrian bridge project amongst city priorities. About 98% responded that the project is of very high importance. When asked how much money should be spent on the project, about 70% said that we should invest whatever funds are necessary to ensure it is done properly.

Such response from the community reminds city officials that the importance of the project is evident. With multiple benefits including increased safety of pedestrians and cyclists, reduced traffic along the state’s busiest stretch of roadway, and connection of outlying corners of the Eagle community, the value of the bridge is easy to see. Obtaining the necessary funds to build it, however, is not so easy.

The project is expected to cost $2.4 million - a substantial price tag for a city whose annual planning budget is roughly $900,000.

The project team has already secured $250,000 through a federal grant, which has allowed engineering and design work to begin.

Meridian-based firm TO Engineers is leading the development of the project.

To ensure kick-off of construction in 2024, the city is working diligently to identify the remaining funds for the project, which will likely come from a combination of additional federal funding plus use of the City of Eagle’s general fund and impact fees from trails and parks.

According to city planner Nichoel Baird Spencer, the design and engineering plans for the pedestrian bridge are about halfway complete. The team is working with the Local Highway Technical Assistance Council (LHTAC) to provide engineering oversight, ensuring the bridge meets state requirements which will, in turn, make the project eligible for state and federal funding.

If the project continues to run according to plan, a bid for construction will be released in 2023.

Projects like the pedestrian bridge are becoming quite commonplace for our rapidly-expanding city. A similar project was recently completed for an underpass at Dry Creek Road and State Highway 44 to the west of Eagle Road. In September, the city also finished a preliminary study for an under- or overpass of Highway 44 east of Eagle Road.

With substantial investment in such improvements, it is the hope of city planners that the community will benefit from increased safety along and across the State Highway system, utilize and enjoy the additional access options into Downtown Eagle, and that these facilities will enhance the beauty and quality of life in Eagle for many years to come. ¢ For info about the Eagle Road bridge project or other city developments please visit cityofeagle. org or call 208-939-0227.

Small businesses also benefit from co-working spaces by being able to find affordable, short-term office space that you can adjust based on need and cash-flow. It’s also very likely that moving to a shared office space will increase productivity, as the Harvard Business Review reported that people feel more in control of their job and feel a part of a larger community when working from a co-working space.

Bardenay

Porterhouse Market

Bacquets

In the year 2000, history was made when Bardenay became the first restaurant in the United States to include an in-restaurant distillery. Now with a hip second location right upon the river in Eagle.

Bardenay’s cocktails are handcrafted with their own distilled vodka, rum, gin and freshly squeezed citrus juices.

Porterhouse market is not only a great place to eat, but a great place to learn how to eat. Porterhouse was born out of necessity. Stop in for lunch and try one of their famous sandwiches and soups— made fresh to order—and check out the plethora of quality meats and seafood for sale as well. Open Monday-Saturday 10 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.

Chef Franck is back! Diners who enjoyed Le Coq Rouge or his wine bar of the same name will be delighted to know the Frenchman is back in his kitchen. Enjoy European cuisine, with a natural nod to French specialties. The seasonal menu adjusts based on product availability. Enjoy escargot, prime beef, veal loin, and the freshest fish and seafood the world has to offer. Come visit! Merci!
