Eagle’s

Vineyards STORY BY TAYLOR CUNNINGHAM PHOTOS BY GERRY TSURUDA

VINTNERS AGREE:

EAGLE FOOTHILLS GRAPES ARE SPECIAL There’s something special about Eagle’s grapes, according to Martha Cunningham, owner of 3 Horse Ranch Vineyards. Cunningham began considering the impact of an American Viticulture Area (AVA) specific to the Eagle Foothills several years ago.

In the wine industry, an AVA designates a specific geographic region as historically and topographically distinct, producing wines with distinguishable characteristics. Historically, most wine grown in Idaho, as well as some areas of eastern Oregon, had been a part of the Snake River Valley AVA. But thanks to Cunninghgam’s tenacity, and an application process that took two years, the sub-AVA Eagle Foothills became official in 2015. This told the wine world about the uniqueness of Eagle Foothills’ grapes.

14 | www.eaglemagazine.com

Winemaker Greg Koenig of Koenig Vineyards, has been producing great wine with grapes from the Eagle Foothills for many years. Said Koenig, “The most striking aspect of the grapes grown in the Eagle Foothills AVA area is the uniformly small berry size and loose clusters, which can be attributed to the extremely well-drained, sandy and quartz-laden soil. Small berry size contributes to concentrated and mature flavors that are not diluted by water.”

Idaho’s burgeoning wine community has grown, with many people deciding to put their own viticultural skills to the test. The first harvest labeled with the Eagle Foothills AVA was the 2014 Sangiovese, which was grown at Curlew Vineyards, owned by John Witte. The wine was labeled under 3 Horse Ranch Vineyards and received a score of 88 points from Wine Enthusiast.

“THE MOST STRIKING ASPECT OF THE GRAPES GROWN IN THE EAGLE FOOTHILLS AVA AREA IS THE UNIFORMLY SMALL BERRY SIZE.” In this harvest season of 2017, the Eagle Foothills AVA is 12 grape growers strong. Grapes are still on the vines for the 2017 harvest, but 2016 was a good year. Some of the wines harvested from new growers in the Eagle Foothills AVA included Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc and Tempranillo.

The Eagle Foothills Grape Growers Group (EGG), had their first meeting in May of 2017, to help Eagle Foothills growers network with each other and share experiences and advice.

The objectives of each grower in the Eagle Foothills AVA are mixed; some are interested in producing wine under their own labels, others plan to sell grapes to other wineries and others still enjoy grape growing and winemaking as hobbies, producing solely for the consumption of their friends and families.

BUCHERT

Most growers agree, Idaho does not have enough grapes. Demand for Idaho wine is high across the Northwest. Sometimes producers have to go out of state to fulfill their needs, or simply don’t produce as much wine as they know could be sold in the current market.

PARSONS “We like the aesthetic beauty that it adds to the property…also there is a shortage of wine grapes…so you’re taking your land and making a positive contribution to the environment. When you look at the amount of water it takes, it’s a good way to manage the water resources on the property,” said Mark Pasculli. The Pasculli’s purchased their Eagle property over a year ago, and inherited threeand-a-half acres of Cabernet Franc that had been there for seven years; the vineyard was what drew them to it.

Lee and Mary Parson planted grapes on their property, “Finca Besada,” earlier this year. Their wine-making daughter, Hailey, encouraged them to take up viticulture, knowing that the Eagle Foothills were prime for grape growing and that there was not enough supply to keep up with demand. In June of 2017, they planted their first grapes; 6 acres, approximately 2,000 Chardonnay plants, 1,100 Syrah plants, and 550 Malvisia plants a varietal typically grown in the Mediterranean.

“We’ve had some miserable days up here…but we’re having fun at the same time. We’re exhausted, but there’s something so basic and fun about putting stuff in the ground and helping it grow,” Lee said.

16 | www.eaglemagazine.com

Trae and Johnna Buchert of Dude DeWald Cellars planted their first grapes about 14 months ago. Prior to planting, Johnna has been making wine in their barn for almost seven years, using grapes that they would purchase as locally as possible.

Trae Buchert has a background in agriculture, so after many years of buying grapes for their wines and seeing wine growing in Eagle gain traction, they decided to jump in and plant, starting with a quarter of an acre of Tempranillo.

In the past the wine of Dude DeWald Cellars has not been available for commercial consumption, but Johnna was recently approved by the Tax and Trade Bureau as a winery, one of many steps that will get her closer to selling their wines. For now, Johnna and Trey are enjoying learning about winemaking and grape growing.

For Pasculli and his wife Lori, agriculture has always been a part of their lives; Lori grew up on a vineyard that produced table grapes in Central California. Mark sees huge benefits in planting grapes, especially in areas where water shortages are becoming more and more common.

REACH OUT TO 3 HORSE RANCH VINEYARDS If you’re curious to learn about Eagle’s burgeoning wine industry, you may be interested in the upcoming “Taste the Terroir” Eagle Community Dinner, held in Lakeshore Plaza. The event will celebrate Eagle’s terroir in all things, local meat and vegetables included, as well as wine.

If you’re interested in planting grapes but don’t know where to start, you may be interested in future events put on by the Eagle Grape Grower’s Group, including a community lecture on how to get started. You can contact 3 Horse Ranch Vineyards at info@3horseranchvineyards.com to learn more.

WEEKEND GETAWAYS

Near Eagle story by Drew Dodson

There’s good news and bad news. The good news? The blistering heat of summer is nearing its end. The bad news? Cooler autumn temperatures will soon give way to the snowy, frigid cold that plagued Treasure Valley last winter. The best news, however, is that there is still time to plan a weekend getaway and enjoy the pleasant weather while it lasts.

But alas, this is Idaho and Sun Valley is widely heralded as one of the top spots in Idaho to be awestruck by the cornucopia of fall colors. Deep oranges, bright reds and dazzling yellows dot the mountains. What better way to take it all in than from the seat of a mountain bike on a world-class trail? Trail difficulties ranging from beginner to expert provide for a unique fall experience for mountain bikers all over the spectrum. While summer rides can be enjoyable, it’s tough to rival the captivation of crisp fall temperatures on a single-track immersed in the eruption of full-swing autumn leaves. With plenty of bike-rental outfitters in the Sun Valley area, everyone can get in on the action this fall. For help planning your

CAMP BY THE WATER - CASCADE Crazy about camping? Plan a stay at the Water’s Edge RV Resort in Cascade. Guests are greeted by cordial site hosts Katrin and Ashley, as well as a healthy dose of weekend entertainment. Located just off highway-55 on the northern outskirt of Cascade, Water’s Edge has something for everyone. Movie theaters, stores, restaurants, coffee bistros and scenic tours by air are just a few of the activities nearby Cascade has to offer those who aren’t camping fanatics. For those who are, though, there are still the outdoor favorites of fishing, hiking, bird watching, hunting and natural hot springs. Better yet, Water’s edge campground offers something for all varieties of camping, including water-view sites, pull-throughs for large RVs and larger sites for groups. Included amenities in the campground are dog walks, beach volleyball courts, horseshoe pits, restrooms, showers and laundromats to accommodate the comfort of all guests. If all of that isn’t enough to coax you into a weekend getaway, Water’s Edge also prepares a tantalizingly sweet cinnamon roll breakfast on Saturday mornings, followed by a mouthwatering full course Sunday morning breakfast that could make even the crabbiest morning person crawl out of their sleeping bag.

RESERVE A HORSE TRAIL RIDE - GARDEN VALLEY Garden Valley Trail Rides (GVTR) is a horseback riding outfitter based on the cusp of the scenic Boise National Forest. Located just over an hour from Boise, Garden Valley is the perfect place to plan your first jaunt into the world of horseback riding. GVTR offers a horseback riding experience for all skill levels, ranging from beginner to equestrian expert. Guests can make reservations for rides lasting one hour, one-and-a-half hour or two hours at prices ranging from $50 to $100 to customize the experience that’s right for them. Friendly trail guide Mary Jo leads riders through wispy mountain meadows, shade-shrouded forests and breathtaking vistas, all the while accompanied by gentle horses and good conversation. GVTR is ideal for quick day outings, but for longer getaways, adventurers can hit the hay at the Garden Valley Motel and enjoy other Garden Valley activities, such as whitewater rafting or a production at the Starlight Mountain Theater. Either way, saddle up and get out there for a memorable time! www.eaglemagazine.com

DREW’S CLUES So, what about me? As an outdoor enthusiast and

Sawtooth Lake

lover of traveling, I have no shortage of enchanting getaway spots near Treasure Valley. This summer alone I managed to make more than 40 lake visits to several local lakes in an effort to beat the heat. Macks Creek Park at Lucky Peak was always a winner, with several docks jutting into the lake for swimmers and boaters alike to use, as well as 15 campsites and sandy beaches lining the shore.

Macks Creek provides all the fun of the lower beach at Lucky Peak without the hordes of people.

For those craving even more seclusion, countless pullouts are peppered along the road for use on a first-come, first-serve basis. Macks Creek Park and the surrounding beaches are one of the best ways to soak up the final rays of warmth 2017 has left to offer. For the more adventurous types, I recommend taking the time to hike to Sawtooth Lake or Alice Lake in the breathtaking Sawtooth Range. Both are excellent choices for overnight backpacking treks.

Crystal clear alpine lakes amist the jagged snowcapped peaks of the Sawtooths is about the most therapeutic getaway a nature lover like myself could ask for.

Both hikes are roughly in the 10-mile range, feature jaw-dropping scenery from start to finish and boast an elevation gain of 1,800 feet. You can’t go wrong

DREW DODSON

You Wont Know Unless You Go...

Like magicians, a true adventurer never reveals every secret spot, so get out there and explore what the world has to offer every chance you get. Life’s too short and the world is too big—and who knows? You might just make a memory or two.

with either of these hikes, but daytrippers should allow plenty of time to complete the trek.

Finally, for those craving the natural hot spring experience on a low budget, Kirkham hot springs in Lowman is the perfect spot. At $5 per car for day use and $15 to camp, these natural springs offer quite a big bang for your buck. While not in the same stratosphere of luxury as The Springs in Idaho City, Kirkham hot springs gives guests the primitive hot spring experience, complete with waterfalls and pools overlooking the roaring, deep, blue waters of the Payette River. I stayed in Campsite 13, which provided ample space for my party of four and had a pool nestled up by the foot of the mountain just 20 feet from our tent. From the melting comfort of that pool, I watched a full moon creep up over the mountain, blanketed by towering pines, leaving me utterly awestruck.

IDAHO PERIO Where Treatment and Technology Defy the Odds

W

hat’s the first thing you notice when you arrive for an appointment at Idaho Perio, beyond the beautifully decorated waiting room and friendly office staff? My guess is that when you take a seat in the spacious examination room, you will immediately notice the bright, warm smile Dr. Hansen exudes as he listens to your concerns and explains one of the many procedures his office has to offer for improving your smile.

Idaho Perio was established in 2010 when Dr. Hansen finished his residency at the University of Louisville in Kentucky and moved to Eagle, Idaho to purchase his practice. He was joined by his associate, Dr. Bradley Townsend, in 2016. Together, they offer many procedures that involve prevention, diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease, including cosmetic procedures for the supporting structures of the teeth. Some of these include dental implants, tissue grafting, sinus augmentation, extractions and aesthetic crown lengthening. Dr. Hansen completed his master’s degree research on dental implants in the “aesthetic zone,” which is the area in the front of the mouth that displays when smiling. These implants require the most training, as there is no room for error.

In addition, Drs. Hansen and Townsend are very excited to offer the community two new and innovative techniques.

26 | www.eaglemagazine.com

Idaho Perio is the only specialty office in the Treasure Valley offering the LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure). This procedure was FDA-patented in 2004 (Patent #510(k) K030290) and in 2017 (FDA Patent #510(k) K151763).

The excitement surrounding the use of the Periolase Nd:YAG Laser and resulting bone regeneration is due to the fact that a patient’s bone loss may be reversed! In addition to stimulating bone growth, the Periolase is able to heal infections, treat apthous ulcers and cold sores, remove vascular lesions, decrease or eliminate oral nerve pain, save ailing or failing dental implants and speed healing in general. Dr. Hansen stated, “We have been using the LANAP protocol for nearly three years and are continually amazed at its abilities. We continue to save more teeth and dental implants than ever.”

In addition, Idaho Perio offers the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique (Patent #US 8,007,278,B2 and 8,202,092,B2), along with other techniques, to cover exposed roots and thicken tissue around teeth. Dr. Hansen explains, “As we lose tissue around our teeth, we are also losing bone. This can lead to periodontal infection and loose teeth. Losing tissue around our teeth can also cause sensitivity and can be unaesthetic. The Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique does not require suturing.

We loosen the tissue through a pinhole and insert collagen to thicken the tissue and cover roots.”

Idaho Perio uses only the highest quality materials and the latest in technology. Lasers, minimally invasive grafting techniques, and advanced diagnostic equipment (such as their in-house CT scanner) allow them to complete procedures quickly, with less invasive techniques, and with faster healing times.

As a recipient of both tissue grafting and dental implants by Dr. Hansen, I can personally attest that these techniques can be performed with a minimum of pain and dental anxiety due to the availability of conscious sedation, both oral and IV, as needed. Please let the office know if you are anxious about your procedures. Dr. Hansen said, “We are planning to be here for a long time, so we are able to help you achieve your periodontal goals by saving previously hopeless teeth or by replacing teeth and improving your quality of life. When you come into our office, you will be greeted by friendly faces and you will be treated fairly and ethically.”

Jace Hansen, DMD, MS is an Idaho native and lives in Eagle with his wife, two sons and one daughter, where he enjoys spending time with his family, skiing, fishing, camping, boating and jeeping. Bradley Townsend, DDS, MS also lives in Eagle and enjoys taking daily long walks with his wife. He brings 35 years of periodontal experience to the practice.

SOCIAL EYES MARKETING 802 W. Bannock St., #101, Boise, ID 83702 www.getsocialeyes.com

LIFE IS ABOUT GETTING BACK UP Blane and Angela Russell share their personal business story of overcoming business defeat during the 2008 collapse.

B

ack in 2007, when Blane and Angela Russell were first aprofiled in the Destination Eagle Magazine, things were a little different. At the top of their game as the owners of Eagle River Mortgage they were living embodiments of the “American Dream.” They had come from modest beginnings and achieved success in ways neither of them imagined when they were just young kids growing up in Idaho.

From the company’s early beginnings, working out of their townhouse with only one computer, Blane and Angela put in long hours and all they had into building their business.

After years of perseverance, their hard work paid off. Eagle River Mortgage grew to become the largest private mortgage company in Idaho.

Blane used his business expertise to begin helping other companies develop their social media. In 2010, Blane founded Social Eyes Marketing. As the business model matured, Blane brought in more talented experts to provide website design and search engine optimization services. Now with a staff of 11 employees, Social Eyes Marketing provides stellar digital marketing & SEO services for clients on a local and national scale. With an office in the heart of downtown Boise and talks to open a new location in Eagle, Social Eyes has become a digital marketing machine that is consistently at the forefront of the industry in the Treasure Valley. In fact, growth has been so steady, Angela is now working with Blane to help manage expansion and develop new clientele.

Then 2008 happened. With the collapse of the mortgage industry, Blane and Angela found themselves losing several million dollars’ worth of their own real estate investments, including their own primary residence. Eagle River Mortgage eventually closed their doors and the Russell’s were back to square one.

Driving away from his former neighborhood, Blane hit a low point. As he was leaving behind his home, which he was helping the bank short sell, in a vehicle he was a month behind in the lease payments, he saw a gentleman doing maintenance for the neighborhood association. Years ago, his thought seeing this man may have been different, but on this day Blane could only think how lucky this guy was because he knew where his next paycheck was coming from.

In 2009, the Russell’s annual income was $1000 less than their health insurance premiums for that year. The cars they did have were leased and with their credit rating shot, these vehicles had to be returned to the bank when the lease expired.

Unable to obtain a car loan, they had to purchase a $1000 car they found on Craigslist.

In the years after the collapse, the Russell family did whatever they could to survive. In order to feed their family and put gas in the car, they took to selling their personal belongings, including the ones with sentimental value. Angela developed a real knack for selling items on eBay and made a modest living selling jewelry and clothing accessories. She also began working part time for Mimi Marie’s Boutique as a jewelry buyer.

PHOTO BY LUCAS HITCHCOCK Now almost a decade since their life was turned upside down, the Russell family is happy and secure. They were even able to purchase a beautiful home in Eagle last year. Having gone through hardships and coming out the other side has encouraged the Russell family to find ways to assist others who find themselves in desperate situations.

Along with Scott Johnson, a local financial advisor, Blane and Angela have organized an annual fundraiser for the Frank Church Foundation for Student Achievement, formerly Helping High, a charity that works with the school system to assist high school students in getting the supplies they need for school and beyond. In the last 2 years, the event has raised over $80,000 for the foundation, and the Russells invite the community to join them at the next fundraiser November 16th at the JUMP Building. For more information on getting involved or attending the event, please contact Blane at Social Eyes, 208.955.6679.

Despite all their family has been through, Blane and Angela’s outlook on life and success hasn’t changed. Their original 2007 article included the following quote, “The road to success means taking risks, using ingenuity, being ambitious and never giving up.” The Russells clearly take this credo to heart and through their tenacity show just how rocky--and rewarding, the road to success can really be.

What makes it so appealing?

face 2 face

BY PAMELA KLEIBRINK THOMPSON

People are able to run their entire business from one dashboard. You don’t have to log into 20 things to see how your business is doing. It’s also simpler to use. You don’t need tech people to run it. It can be run by the entrepreneurs. It’s just simple and fun to use.

Which industry uses it the most?

The Barefoot C.E.O. Russell Brunson, CEO/Founder, ClickFunnels Helping Entrepreneurs Soar in Eagle

“G

reat companies can start anywhere in the world,” declared Russell Brunson, CEO/Founder of ClickFunnels. “They don’t have to be in Silicon Valley. They can be started right here in Eagle, Idaho.”

Brunson launched ClickFunnels a little less than three years ago. “The core marketing team all live in Eagle. Our office building is close to my home--that way I don’t have a huge commute and can spend more time with my family. Eagle has a great downtown area and a lot of cool restaurants. We love playing in the water down at Two Rivers. It’s just such a great family area.”

Brunson lives on the Eagle-Meridian border with his wife Collette, and their children Bowen (11), Dallin (11), Ellie (10), Aiden (6), and Norah (2). Born in Provo, Utah, Brunson grew up in Sandy, and spent two years in New Jersey on his LDS mission. He moved to Idaho in 2001 to attend Boise State on a wrestling scholarship.

The BSU grad enjoys wrestling and playing with his kids and vacationing in Bear Lake, Idaho.

“I first got interested in software development in college,” reflected the 37-year-old entrepreneur. “I actually changed my major at Boise State to Computer Information Systems so I could learn how to create software. But after about four days, I realized my brain was not built for software development.

But I learned how to understand software development. Some of my first products were really simple software products. It wasn’t until I partnered with Todd Dickerson and other amazing developers that we were able to create a big software platform.”

built the frontend editor and designed most of the initial user interface.

Probably 30 percent of the users are people selling e-commerce products. The other 70 percent are people selling either information or services like coaching, financial services, things like that.

What are the hardest positions for you to fill? Why? Developers and engineers. We code in a language called “Ruby on Rails.” It’s more difficult to find good Ruby on Rails developers. Our software is complex; it’s not something a developer can learn in a week.

It takes a few months to get up to speed with what the code is.

How did you meet?

What makes your company culture different?

Todd reached out four or five years earlier.

I was looking for a Ruby on Rails developer to partner with on a project. I sent an email out to my customers about it. Todd had purchased one of my products in the past, so he got the email. We started working together on a few projects and became close friends.

Twenty-five percent of our company is here in Eagle, Idaho. The other 75 percent work remotely from home. Most of our employees were customers of ClickFunnels before they joined. So they already love the product and the company. We’re a group of 130 entrepreneurs and “intrapreneurs.”

Dylan Jones was a designer and programmer.

Initially, we brought him in as a contractor to design the UI, but later decided to bring him on as a partner so we could bring in the frontend website editor he had built.

How did ClickFunnels get started?

We had a customer who had purchased other marketing training from us, so we initially sold to them. As we got traction, we started finding other entrepreneurs who had big email lists and social followings and promoted it to them. Now we get almost 1,000 people who organically sign up daily who’ve heard about ClickFunnels from friends or family members or seen our websites and ads online.

What services/tools do you provide?

Brunson shared his ClickFunnels entrepreneurial journey for Eagle readers:

We build landing pages, shopping carts, upsell/downsell sequences, email autoresponders, text message autoresponders, analytics, affiliate platform and a whole lot more. Basically, everything you need to start, run and grow a company online.

Who co-founded ClickFunnels with you?

What makes ClickFunnels unique?

Initially, it was Todd Dickerson from Atlanta, Georgia and me. We ended up partnering with |www.eaglemagazine.com 30 a mutual friend, Dylan Jones from Toronto, who

It gives entrepreneurs everything they need to be successful in selling their products or services online. No longer do people have

What makes it a great place to work?

It’s pretty casual. As the CEO and founder, I rarely wear shoes to the office. This makes it really relaxed for other people as well.

Everyone’s got standing and sitting desks here in the office. We try to live healthy lifestyles. As long as people get their work done, we’re pretty lenient on how and what they do.

How did you create the culture?

It came from who we were when we got started. We were a couple entrepreneurs hustling, trying to make money. As we grew, we didn’t try to switch and become a big corporate company. We haven’t taken on any venture capitalist money. We try to be true to who we were. We haven’t let the corporate game interfere with our lifestyle.

Have you had other startup ventures?

Yes. I’ve had many startup ventures over the last 14 years since I started my online businesses. I’ve sold everything from potato gun DVDs, weight loss advice, supplements for people with diabetic neuropathy and more. I’m also the author of two books: Dot Com Secrets and Expert Secrets and run one of the largest internet marketing coaching companies in the country.

What is your number one goal for 2017? And what is your biggest business challenge?

Our number one goal for 2017 as a company is to pass 100,000 active users and to break $100 million in revenue for ourselves… but also to help at least 250 of our members make at least $1 million inside of a funnel.

The biggest business challenge is keeping up with the growth. Adding 1,000 new users a day means you have to increase support, keep the software stable and just stay in front of the growth curve.

What is key to your success?

We’ve built an amazing team of people who all believe in our vision for ClickFunnels and its ability to help entrepreneurs to get their messages and their products and services out to the world. We’re insanely passionate about that.

What do you like most about what you do?

I get to work with entrepreneurs every single day. Entrepreneurs are the most exciting and fun people in the world because they always have crazy ideas. We’re trying to figure out ways to change the world and make things better.

What is your biggest dislike?

My biggest dislike is people who get started during the trial, but don’t spend the time to try to learn how to use the software. Then they leave before they actually realize what they’re missing out on.

What is your biggest challenge as a CEO? Finding the time to do everything. As the CEO, I’ve written two books and I’m working on number three. I’m also managing 130 employees.

I’m running the marketing team to add 1,000 new users a day. We’re working on reducing churn and increasing conversions. On top of that, we also have the #5-ranked podcast in the business world right now. We have a fast-growing YouTube channel where we “vlog” our daily entrepreneurial lifestyle and a whole bunch more. The biggest challenge is finding the time to do all that while maintaining sanity with my family and five amazing kids.

What tips/advice would you give aspiring entrepreneurs?

The first thing every aspiring entrepreneur needs to do is spend time serving people first. Don’t go out and try to raise money or sell a product. Go out there and find out what you’re passionate about.

Work for free for people and provide that product or service to get feedback and success stories. Those success stories will be the tools you use to sell your product or service in the future. So focus on serving others before you focus on selling.

What tips/advice would you give other CEOs? My advice to other CEOs would be to stop focusing so much on the day-to-day operations of the company. Focus on building your customer community and the marketing of the business.

Who gave you great advice? What was it?

I learned most of my marketing advice from Dan Kennedy. He taught me how direct response marketing works and how to use that to profitably scale a company without taking on venture capital. The best personal advice I got was probably from Tony Robbins to be aware of what motivates people and how to use that to get what you want and help others get what they want.

ARedlan’s CutGentleman’s Above Grooming

Redlan’s 32 North First St., Eagle, Idaho 208-921-2720 www.redlancuts.com

PHOTOS BY JIM PETERSON

“P

ersonally, I just got tired of getting my hair jacked up from other salons and barbers, so I started cutting my own hair, then gradually started cutting friends’ hair,” said Richard Nalder, who opened Redlan’s Gentlemen’s Grooming on December 5th, 2016. He wanted to recreate the feeling he had when he worked for a men’s day spa in downtown Boise. “I missed that atmosphere.”

Nalder grew up in Twin Falls and moved to Grand Junction, Colorado, for a brief time when he was a teen, but returned to Idaho and after his high school graduation, attended cosmetology school, where he learned how to cut and style hair.

“I have been doing hair since I was 19,” Nalder shared. “It was my ultimate goal to own and operate a successful shop.

At first I wanted to open a family hair salon, but as I studied the market I decided to open up Eagle’s first men’s grooming salon. Most of my career has been in west Boise, Eagle, and the North Meridian area. It only made sense to me to have a shop where most of my customers lived.

“My vision for Redlan’s is to keep the neighborhood barbershop feel–a hairshop men aren’t embarrassed to tell their friends about,” Nalder explained. “I definitely want to expand to different locations. Boise is a growing city--we will see what the market can hold.”

Redlan’s specializes in “the merging of traditional barbering and holistic well-being, bringing the best in grooming and men’s maintenance.” All of their services and products have been designed exclusively for men. “If you don’t have a style in mind, don’t worry,” reassured Nalder. “Our

34 | www.eaglemagazine.com

staff is experienced with all types of haircuts. We can make suggestions that suit your face and tastes. We gladly work with you to give you your ideal hairstyle.”

A full service shop, “not your typical in-and-out-place,” Redlan’s offers men’s and children’s haircuts; including a straight razor finish on the neck, shampoo or rinse and a steaming hot towel.

They also do beard trims with a blend of barbering techniques to achieve the desired length, finishing with a composition hot towel ritual. Customers who opt for the deluxe hot shave are in for an ultimate treat-- the old fashioned straight-edge shave.

Nalder enjoys “seeing a variety of people daily.” What he likes best about his profession is “working with people, changing how people look and making them feel confident in themselves.”

He enjoys “taking old styles and merging them with new techniques to create a modern style from a classic look.”

Nalder advises other entrepreneurs, “Find a mentor. Read tons of self- help books. Cut the cord from others who hold you back. Remember that you are an average of the people you hang out with the most. Show me your mentor, I will show you your future.” Two of the books that have impacted Nalder are Sometimes You Win Sometimes You Learn by John Maxwell and The Legend of the Monk and the Merchant by Terry Felber.

Nalder likes “the small town- yet- urban feel” of Eagle. “We love it here in hHistorical dDowntown Eagle on First Street.

It’s everything you would expect. We are a full service men’s grooming salon with a full service barbering experience like no other. Never go to a barber for just another haircut. Enjoy all the extra details.”

Toby Davis Art

Eagle Artist Preserves Sense Of Place in Paint

T

reasure Valley denizens will recognize more than a few local hot spots in Toby Davis’ oil paintings.

The Olympic Hotel, the 8th Street Thomas and Hammer coffee shop and the 10 Barrel Brewing Co.--to name a few-- are all featured in Davis’ sweeping urban portrayals. Capturing the essence of a city is integral to the Eagle-based painter’s work. He said, “So much of our lives are tied up in the memories of place. I want to preserve those memories forever.”

To do this, Davis first immerses himself in a location. “It starts with walking the streets of a city, taking photographs of scenes I find interesting,” he explained. “A lot of times it’s local, but I try to travel at least once a year.” He has painted scenes from Chicago, Portland, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and more. Last year, the artist spent a week studying the streets of Paris. “My iPhone app said that I had walked over 19 miles in one day, 48,000 steps, 44 floors climbed (Paris isn’t flat).” By the end of the trip, he had tossed his worn-out sneakers and snapped 2,800 photos.

Davis clarified, “It sounds fun, but I take it seriously. I would describe it more as ‘interesting work.’”After the locale has been photographed, Davis “searches for the best photos, edits them down, and creates an original painting.” The results are rich cityscapes that capture the mood and life of the place.

Davis was born and raised in the Treasure Valley, and his family holds long ties to the Eagle community. “I’ve heard many stories about going to Orville Jackson’s back in the day, and I think my grandfather, who is in his 90s now, still gets his hair cut at the Eagle Barber Shop. I can’t imagine how many haircuts he’s gotten there. More than a few.”

36 | www.eaglemagazine.com

PHOTOS BY JIM PETERSON Davis moved to Eagle four years ago, and his deep connection to the place manifests in his artwork. The town is featured prominently in a series of paintings that pay homage to last winter’s record-setting snowfall.

In 2008, Davis earned a fine arts degree in illustration from Boise State University. He found the instruction formative and says he has “a lot of gratitude for the direction my professors gave me. I couldn’t have done this without them.”

Nothing pleases the painter more than finding the right audience for his work. “I used to get very attached to my work and hated to see it go, but now the opposite is true. It’s difficult when a painting hasn’t found the person that needs it. I have a great sense of relief and accomplishment when my work finds a good home.”

Painting is a way for Davis to capture other people’s sentimental experiences. He wants to “give people something they can look at and remember how great that place was, or how great it will be to visit again.”

Davis said, “A painting on a wall can become a window to a place you cherish.” This isn’t just something Davis believes, it’s something he proves in each painting.

Tennis

A Big Hit for Instructor Ware, and Fellow Enthusiasts

T

ennis got into Katie Ware’s blood almost as fast as a passing shot down the line.

Before she became Eagle High School’s tennis coach and the owner-operator of a business through which she made the sport her life’s work, she was an EHS volleyball and basketball player looking for something to do during the off season.

That first racquet she picked up when she was almost 17 turned out to be the ticket to an Idaho State University scholarship, a career and an opportunity to promote one of the state’s growing hobbies.

She excelled athletically at ISU and earned all-conference academic honors.

She earned a bachelor’s degree in mass communication, and a master’s in athletic administration and physical education.

She worked in the sports information office, often covering tennis from competitions on the road.

“It’s a great sport,” Ware said. “A lot of people think it’s a country club sport, but it’s not.”

Tennis isn’t all that expensive to get into, and the new player can quickly find an enjoyable path in the sport thanks to its variety of settings and competitive formats, she said. Fun, camaraderie, and satisfaction from improving can be found on southwest Idaho courts from parks and schools to private clubs.

Ware teaches lessons, runs tournaments and strings racquets through Kware Tennis, which she launched in early 2015. She’s assistant pro at Crane

38 | www.eaglemagazine.com

Creek Country Club in north Boise. She previously worked at the Idaho Tennis Association, where part of her email address there inspired the name of her business.

She arrives early on a midsummer morning at the Eagle High courts to practice with a doubles partner. Quickly, she’s joined by other adults – including another instructor – as well as high school students Chris Jirout of Capital and EHS senior Kennidi Amorebieta, practicing on their own. Jirout, working on his backhand down the line, said a tournament Ware ran in mid-July was very well organized and a lot of fun. Amorebieta, focusing on overall consistency, said Ware “cares about the team and is a good coach.”

Ware said high school players usually focus on strategy and fine tuning during the approximately two-month team season. Come summertime, they play in some tournaments but have more time to address fundamentals such as on-court movements and the various grips – hardwon changes to which can pay off later.

Ware teaches an all-around game that combines solid ground strokes and correct movement with a willingness to go on the offensive near the net given the right opportunity. As a player, the former Katie Zigars discovered and developed her offensive game fairly late in her tennis career at Idaho State.

“Lots of people want to come out and learn,” said Ware, 32. The instructional side of Kware Tennis includes new and repeat students of various ages and skill levels.

While Ware does not teach at the new indoor facility in Eagle but ran an adult tournament there recently. “We should always have more tennis courts and quality instructors” given the sport’s growth, she said. Eagle Tennis Club “gives more people the opportunity to have access to tennis and reminds people of the sport as they drive by.”

The fleeting nature of perfection is one life lesson that tennis teaches well, she said.

“It’s very addicting, hitting a good shot,” Ware said. “It’s fun, and as a coach it’s fun watching people ‘get it’ and have the lightbulb moment.”

INSIDE OUT SALON Growing Salon: Hair Care for Community Care

G

rowing revenue and a broadening clientele aren’t all that Dawn Maglish, founder of the nonprofit INsideOUT Salon, appreciates as the salon approaches its six-year anniversary in November. Its ability to raise awareness and advocacy for juvenile victims of human trafficking pleases her even more.

The salon on East State Street is part of an Eagle-based nonprofit organization advocating for juveniles who are at risk or victims of human trafficking. The salon’s net proceeds go towards work the organization does with youth, largely in conjunction with public and community entities, Maglish said. After working internationally for three years, INsideOUT shifted its focus to southwest Idaho.

“We want people to know it’s not just an international, overseas problem. It’s happening right here,” she said. “We literally have worked with a child from every town in the Treasure Valley.”

The it-happens-elsewhere mentality is understandable to Maglish, who came up with the idea for the nonprofit salon after seeing an overseas-centered news report that left the college basketball player-turned-cosmetologist and mom wanting to learn more about the implications and reach of human trafficking.

“I wanted to do something with a purpose,” she said. “I didn’t just want to work for money. I wanted to make a difference in the world.” Human trafficking is “everywhere, in every community,” Maglish explained, noting the mission-related workload has more than doubled since the organization’s inception.

Growth of the salon’s revenue and client base, and the number of youths found in need, has been very strong, but recently limited to an extent by capacity. Board members are considering adding a second salon, but a timetable and location are still to be determinted.

INsideOUT derived its name from Maglish’s experience that “When people talk about feeling good, or beauty, it’s from the inside out.” The salon has benefited from Eagle’s quaint, welcoming atmosphere, its supportive, socio-economically

40 |www.eaglemagazine.com

PHOTOS BY JIM PETERSON diverse people, its strong, sizable senior community, and solid support from area churches.“ It’s definitely communitysupported…I think a lot of people are drawn to the uniqueness of what we do, and that they are helping a cause,” she elaborated.

Instead of paying set prices, INsideOUT Salon clients make suggested donations – set below area median prices – for particular services. Salon staff members are employees, not volunteers, and they hold Idaho licenses. They’re hired based largely on how they fit with the organization. Some have long tenures.

The salon employs four hair stylists, including Maglish, and a nail technician. Maglish is paid through her work as a stylist at the salon, but her work for the broader organization is pro bono. Her husband Mike, who brings experience as a pastor and Christian college administrator, is on the organization’s CEO. The Maglishes recently became therapeutic foster parents.

They aim to build the home placement aspect of the INsideOUT nonprofit – increasing the number of qualified parents, available homes and possibly a residential facility, Maglish said.

The INsideOUT nonprofit helps trafficking victims and potential victims get the help they need, such as counseling, longerterm housing and guidance to pursue job and educational opportunities.

Early on, when the youths may not be particularly talkative, INsideOUT Salon often plays a critical role.

“A salon is a great place to talk about issues, people’s lives, things that are affecting them,” Maglish said. “It’s healing.”

The Thrill of the Ride

Eagle Park BMX is Treasure Valley’s Biking Paradise

O

n any given autumn Saturday, if you drive up Old Horseshoe Bend Road in Eagle, you’ll find a bicyclelover’s paradise. Sitting on the cool grass in the shade of autumn leaves, parents from around the Treasure Valley come to Eagle’s popular bike park to watch their teens mountain bike, as their younger children enjoy the BMX track.

BMX, an abbreviation for bicycle motocross, is a competitive racing and freestyle cycling sport. The Eagle Park BMX track has become a focal point for the Treasure Valley BMX community. In September 2017, Eagle hosted the state BMX championship for the second year in a row, with more than 250 competitors and 500 spectators.

Blake Richards, who volunteers as the BMX Track director, explained why the BMX and the bike park is so important to our community.

EM: How did the idea of a BMX Park in Eagle come about?

BR: It was just a natural fit with the other cycling activities there. BMX racing has been in the Treasure Valley since it first became popular in the late ’70s and early ’80s. The Eagle track started approximately eight years ago, when the original director worked with the city and then-Mayor Jim Reynolds to get things set up and built the groundwork for the park. I came in four years ago to take over track operations. Since then, we’ve been working and building to make it better.

EM: What’s your personal experience with BMX Racing?

BR: I’ve lived in Meridian my whole life and was a graduate of Meridian High School. When I was younger, I never really got

46 | www.eaglemagazine.com

into organized school sports. I didn’t like the time demand— okay, maybe I was a little bit of a rebel. But I liked to ride my bike. I could ride when I wanted, compete, travel, and it was just a great way to get energy out as a teenager. From the ages of 1119, I raced competitively at the old Fort Boise track, at the BMX track in Caldwell, and off season at the indoor track in Kuna. I even traveled to compete in Eastern Idaho, Oklahoma, Salt Lake City and California.

Now I have 12-year-old who has been racing for six years, and a three-year-old who just started riding her bike at the track. It’s great to see my kids embrace a sport I love. It’s a fast sport. A race goes by so quickly. You get drops and start pedaling, you jump then cross the finish line. It’s like jumping off the high dive at a local pool. It’s a real adrenaline rush.

EM: After so many years of planning and development, where is the BMX Track today?

BR: It’s been a busy year! We finally got the bathrooms up and running. Last year, we received $60,000 in landscaping donations. Volunteers helped us to more than double the amount of sod, and we installed 30-40,000 acres of sprinklers and irrigation. We just put the last grass seed in. It’s going to be really nice this fall!

EM: Who benefits from this park?

BR: The park benefits everyone in Eagle and beyond. It’s perfect for families looking for a fun Saturday morning activity, or for kids who need a place to burn off energy. And of course, our high school cycling teams are out thereon a daily basis.

They do workouts and calisthenics on the grass. Sometimes you’ll see four high school teams all at the track at once. It is amazing!

How Your Success Depends on Good Rest

EM: How does the BMX track operate?

BR: The track is 100 percent run by volunteers. Money for racing fees goes to USA BMX for insurance and race costs. The rest of the money is used at the year-end award ceremony for riders who have moved up in class or won awards, or it goes into the track to make it better for the whole community.

Our hope is that the city can help us improve this so that it’s not just dependent on volunteers and donations. On any given day, there are more people there than at any other park in the entire Treasure Valley. We were out there on a weekday and counted 142 people on the track. Almost none were BMX riders—they were kids and families from the community. It’s a real win for Eagle.

chool is back in session, bringing busier days and less sleep for many. Quality sleep is essential to for health at any age. Research shows that a chronic lack of sleep, or poor-quality sleep, increases the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, depression and obesity!

During sleep, our growth hormone is at its peak; it speeds up absorption of nutrients and amino acids, aids the healing of tissues throughout your body, and stimulates your bone marrow for immune system cells. Melatonin is produced during sleep, a hormone that stimulates your immune system. Note, melatonin production decreases as we age. Lastly, sleep removes toxins in your brain that build up while you are awake, according to recent findings.

Obesity and sleep are linked! Research suggests people who don’t get enough sleep are more likely to have bigger appetites (appetite regulating hormone, leptin, tends to fall—increasing appetite). Plus, the psychological manifestations of fatigue are parallel to hunger, per the National Sleep Foundation.

Six Keys to Optimal Sleep 1) Enjoy your evening meal a few hours before bed, so your body’s digestive processes can be at rest.

For more information about the BMX Park visit their Facebook page: www.facebook.com/EAGLEPARKBMX/

R E C L AIM ED WOO D

2) The caffeine in coffee, tea and chocolate can take a long time to be eliminated from your system. Try decreasing intake by 1 p.m. Alcohol may help you fall asleep, but it can keep you from a deep, restful sleep. Have that last sip two or more hours before bed.

3) Skip excess calories from fat and sweet snacks. Short sleepers have higher energy intakes -- notably from fat and sweets -- than normal sleepers studies have shown.

4) Incorporate into your diet a high intake of fatty fish; the Vitamin D and Omega-3 concentrations positively correlate with sleep efficiency and quality.

5) The tale of two fruits: tart cherries and kiwi fruit! Tart cherries contribute a high amount of dietary melatonin.

Kiwi fruit may improve sleep quality due to high serotonin and folate levels (Folate deficiency has been linked to insomnia and restless leg syndrome).

6) Serotonin helps you feel sleepy. Boost serotonin levels by including foods rich in tryptophan (which produces serotonin): turkey, nuts/beans/soybeans and tofu, eggs, milk.

Sleep is an integral part to your total health. With a good night’s rest, you will set yourself up for success, every day.
