Anyone who tells you Boise isn’t beautiful has never been here in the fall. As the City of Trees changes colors and the air grows a little colder, there’s a certain quiet, still beauty that settles over the valley. Those of us from Idaho know how to deal with the weather changes, and even when the temperature drops and the nights grow shorter there’s still plenty to do here in Boise. This issue is all about the Fall, and the exciting things that are waiting for you to explore.

Local photographers always love the fall season, and we’ve highlighted some of

their work in one of our feature spreads this issue. They work hard to capture the best in Boise, so be sure to check out their fantastic work. We’ve highlighted a few local companies like Vacasa, the beautiful Snake River Winery, and Jenny’s Pure Food. If you’ve never been to the Cabin Writing Center in downtown Boise by the Library, be sure to check out our write-up on them. We’ve also profiled some of Boise’s best and most interesting people, including Steve Lucas--former head coach of Boise State Women’s Soccer--as well as Dr. Karlfeldt--an innovative local healthcare provider.

When the creaks in the floorboards and the stairs start to get you in the mood for scary movies, start with the Idaho Horror Film Festival, which we’ve covered for you this issue. There’s a wide breadth of content this issue, from great dining options such as Boise’s fantastic Cuban sandwiches to topics many of us don’t often think about, like the lives of men in nontraditional healthcare roles. There’s always something interesting inside, so read on and explore the best of what Boise has to offer. - Tia Crabtree

VACASA TU CASAHow a summer cabin became a successful vacat ion rental company.

By Amy Larson, Photography Courtesy of Vacasa

A summer’s worth of caring for an inherited 1898-built Washington Coast cabin was a lot of work and a good deal of a money pit for Eric Breon and his wife, Alia--so much so, that they considered giving up the property. Looking for a property manager who would provide what the place needed proved fruitless; no one would put in the amount of time and effort the Breons had, and none offered the trio of maintenance, marketing, and great returns the couple hoped for.

With a marketing and venture capital background, Eric Breon dove into the vacation rental management business, with the cabin as his first listing. While other property management companies

felt they could assure a yearly amount of $3,000 in revenue, the Breons made around $20,000 in the first year of operation. That success inspired a partnership with Cliff Johnson, and the two founded Vacasa. Going door to door in an attempt to sign on more houses, both rolled up their sleeves, maintaining the properties until growth allowed them to hire employees.

That first cabin is now one of 2,300-plus listings world-wide, and Vacasa placed 9th on the Inc. 5000 list of America’s Fastest Growing Companies in 2014.

Vacasa expanded into Idaho in April of 2012, and for a while, the Breons lived in Boise, with the co-founder

readily adapting by riding his bike to work. Vacasa became a member of the Idaho Walk Bike Alliance, supported bike-friendly initiatives, encouraged a bike-infused business culture, and promoted biking among their guests.

“Eric really loves Boise,” says Kari Morlock, Vacasa Partnership and Community Relations Specialist. Morlock and a co-worker teach the Community Education class “Vacation Rentals 101,” a course for those contemplating renting out secondary homes.

The Breons themselves own a historic, renovated 1902 ivory and gray palette 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath North End home,


aptly called the “Founder’s Home.” Specially designed for entertaining up to 37 people, the home is also on the list of rentals.

“It has all the comforts of home, because it is a home,” Morlock smiles. “People who want to do a rafting getaway, attend Treefort, go to conventions, or who are a part of a BSU game’s away-team cheering section can congregate in one big room, versus meeting in a lobby.”

“Boise fits Vacasa’s criteria,” says Kalli Bean, Vacasa representative. “The community has a lot of fun things to do, a lot of nature, and a lot of activities

going on. Our clientele are attracted to places like this.”

Wanting to enhance community attractiveness is yet another branch of the Vacasa tree, and the company does so by collaborating with communities that house their properties. They currently sponsor activities with Boise Green Bikes, Boise Farmers Market, and are members of the Downtown Boise Association.

When mentioning downtown, Morlock, who works at the Vacasa office on 9th Street, enthuses over a newer condo listing on 8th Street, then shifts gears to a hacienda-style retreat dubbed

“Rancho Agua Feliz” or “Happy Water Ranch,” with its colorful, cheerful décor, wandering-worthy gardens, free kayak usage, urban farm chickens and predictable fresh eggs.

And it all came about because of one difficult summer home experience.

“Sometimes it’s just timing,” says Morlock, “I think Eric had a winning combination, and that formula is still working well.”


Local photographers capture Boise’s landmarks By Chelsea Chambers

“In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality.” – Alfred Stieglitz

Photography is an art that captures the beauty of the moment and transforms it into memories that will last a lifetime. For these local photographers, capturing the allure of Boise is one step on their artistic journeys.

Cy Gilbert

Cy received his first point-and-shoot camera on Christmas when he was very young. This allowed for him to have amateur fun on family vacations by documenting their experiences. In 2010, he was asked to shoot a friend’s wedding, and from then on, he got more serious about the art of photography. By 2012, Cy’s avocation was photography, and he is now a full-time photographer specializing in business portraiture, real estate, weddings, and families. Cy grew up with an appreciation for the arts, and this long-standing love shows in his work. His plans for the future are to begin focusing more on becoming better known in business portraiture and real estate photography. www.cygilbertphotography.com

Emily Hanson

Emily was born and raised in Boise and has been taking pictures for as long as she can remember. She started with a point-and-shoot camera and began taking pictures of family and friends. Emily became seriously interested in photography during her junior year of high school. After taking a digital photography class and investing in a nice camera, she started booking shoots for others. From senior pictures to family photos, her repertoire is expanding. Emily loves exploring Boisean landscapes to capture new moments. For her, it’s all about finding the beauty in locations. Her plan is to just keep doing what she loves and see where it takes her. emilyhansonphotography.blogspot.com.


Chanel Talbot

Chanel has been interested in photography her entire life. She’s always either been in front of the camera or behind it. She used to bring disposable cameras to school to take pictures of her friends. Chanel began to get serious about photography in high school and has grown her knowledge base and experience since then. Her passion for photography was fueled by seeing her work displayed next to so many other talented artists in the juried exhibit at Boise State University. For now, Chanel is focusing on building her portfolio while pursuing a visual arts degree at BSU.

Whitney Liebenthal

Photography has always captured Whitney’s heart. At a very young age, she was captivated by a photograph’s ability to take her to a completely different time and place that she would have otherwise never experienced. She believes strongly that there is beauty in all people, places, situations, and phases of life. She practices psychometry, which promotes the idea that energy is held in and emitted by objects, including photographs. Whitney’s photography is an expression of the beauty she sees in the world, and her hope is to create a portal for her subjects and viewers to go back in time to see that beauty as if it were within and all around them. Whitney plans to continue taking honest and authentic images to showcase natural beauty. She is currently in the process of releasing a Facebook page for her images – State of the Heart Boise.

J ilm has struggled Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the water last summer, the Idaho Horror Film Festival screened Steven Spielberg’s classic screamer

“Jaws”—in a swimming pool. Next on their agenda: a fall film festival dedicated to promoting Idaho filmmakers.

“Film has struggled in this area for many years, and we’re trying to give emerging filmmakers a platform to screen their work. We want to shine a spotlight on these filmmakers and develop a supportive community framework for those choosing to call Idaho home,” says Molly Deckard, Festival Director for Idaho Horror Film Festival.

The Idaho Horror Film Festival is a non-profit film exhibition and will be held October. Horror was selected as the focus of the festival for a number of reasons. Deckard says, “In Idaho, starting a new arts festival is hard, and particularly with horror, it can be very polarizing. People either love it or hate it.”

But she notes that many Idaho filmmakers have made horror films. In fact, horror is a genre that has stitched itself into the local filmmaking community. “When you look across the board at filmmakers from Spielberg on down, they’ve all made a horror film, and I think that’s mainly because it’s fun, both behind the lens and watching it,” Deckard says.

This year’s event will be held October 15-18, 2015 with additional events running throughout the year. There will be a variety of events at the festival with over 50 film screenings, including a family-friendly screening on Saturday, as well as a number of guest speakers including book signings and panels. One event is the H48 film competition. The H48, or Idaho 48 Hour Film Festival and Competition event, gives filmmakers the chance to create a film with specific requirements such as a mandatory prop, a sub-genre of horror, a character, or a specific location, in just 48 hours. Completed films are screened and judged at the Idaho Horror Film Festival.

Victoria Horn, local filmmaker and actress who participated in H48 last year, shares, “Once you kind of get into the mindset of horror flicks, it grows on you. All the other movie genres aren’t as intense or exciting anymore. I’ll do movies in other genres, but horror has really grown on me, which is not what I expected.”

Horn describes the filmmaking community in Boise and Idaho as “an untapped keg. There’s so much great talent here. If you don’t know any Idaho films or filmmakers, you’re missing out on some amazing work.”

New to this year’s event are educational programs including panels on screening writing and low or no budget filmmaking. Deckard “We’re going to be engaging the community in an educational way, which is something we didn’t have last year, so the community can learn more about filmmaking in the state.” About the no-budget film workshop, she adds, “If you have an interest in making a film, this will really give you the tools to go out and make it.”

As they move into their second year, the Idaho Horror Film Festival relies on volunteers for their event; more than 30 volunteers participated last year, and they need more for this year’s many events.

PROUDLY OFFERING THE GOOD STUFF

E nchanting Objects is an antique store at Collister and State Street that was established in 2007 by Lori Kerby and Lesli Fieselman. The store showcases carefully

displayed treasures from bygone days: gorgeous repurposed furniture, funky junk, and everything a Pinterest user and “green” shopper could hope to find. The yard is staged with vignettes of antiques; to the left of the house stands one of the oldest outdoor fireplaces in Boise. The whole property is shaded

by hundred-year-old elm trees and an air of delight.

I recently came across a rumor that Better Homes and Gardens wrote about the house in the early part of the 1900s. In an attempt to find that one article, I’ve found a story about love, loss, gardens, and Boise.

In 1896 Edward J. Frawley, 23 years old, moved from Wisconsin to Boise with his law degree. In 1898, he was elected prosecuting attorney for Ada County, and he stood in high regard to those he worked with and in the community. Edward married three times in his life. The first marriage in 1899,

was to 19-year old Evangeline Traphina Rodgers of Blackfoot, Idaho. Together they had one son, Edward George Frawley. The story took a scandalous turn on December 11, 1910, when Eva divorced Edward and quietly eloped with J. H. Peterson.

In 1911, Mr. Frawley was married again to Mary Osborne, an old friend from Wisconsin. The couple was highly regarded and often written up in the society pages. Tragedy struck in 1914 when Mary passed away from burns that were caused “by an explosion of gasoline fumes at her home” as reported by the Idaho Daily Statesman on September 9, 1914.

Ten years later, at age 51, Mr. Frawley married Levena C. Jennings, age 42. Vena, as she was known to her friends, moved to Boise in 1914. She never had children and worked as a corset saleswoman. The marriage had a small announcement in the paper followed by the information that the couple would be living in the country house at Collister Station, 4906. W. State Street today.

roots


The Frawley House was known as “The Elms” for the stately elms that shaded the house. Vena worked tirelessly making the home a showcase and had a hand in starting the first Garden Club in Boise.

From 1925 until she passed away, the Idaho Statesman regularly reported on “huge garden parties” at the Frawley House, where “the lawn was brightly decorated with lighted lanterns and a fire burned in the huge outdoor fireplace.” Guests often enjoying the rose garden, the bog garden, and a swimming pool.

In 1949, Mr. Frawley passed away of a heart attack. He was 76 years old. Vena

continued cultivating her garden as the Collister Station became Highway 44, then Valle Road, and finally State Street. In 1952, Vena married again, to Henry Denis. “The Elms” continued to be a showplace, and Vena was a sought after hostess.

In 1966, Henry passed away, followed three years later by Vena on July 26, 1969.

Still, the house that saw so much laughter and love continues to enchant us today. Stop by and take a look for yourself: Who knows? Maybe you’ll catch a glimpse of Vena following up on her legacy.

J ason Sonne, a registered dental hygienist, and Mark Fuller, who earned his master’s degree in nursing, are two men who defy healthcare’s pink collar

stereotypes. While men and women are now graduating from medical and dental schools in nearly equal numbers, the same gender-equalizing trends have not occurred in healthcare fields traditionally dominated by women. In 2014, 90 percent of all registered nurses were women.1 For dental hygienists, the gender gap is even worse. According to the American Dental Hygienists Association, 96 percent of dental hygiene students are female.2

I sat down with Sonne and Fuller, who both work as educators at Carrington College-Boise, to discuss the nontraditional career paths they both chose, the challenges and opportunities each has faced, and how they inspire their students to embrace gender equality.

“Frankly, what attracted me to dental hygiene were the hours,” Sonne said when I interviewed him outside the Carrington College dental hygiene clinic, where student provide complimentary cleanings to the community. “I liked the flexible work schedule, and the pay is excellent. Plus, I love helping people achieve noticeable improvements in their oral health. The more complex the case, the better!”For Fuller, the holistic approach to health care attracted him to the field.

He originally planned to attend medical school, but when his younger sister decided to attend Carrington College’s Practical Nursing program, Fuller enrolled, too. “I would not have been as happy as a doctor,” he said. “The nursing approach goes beyond what most people think of as ‘health.’ The nurse sees the interconnectedness of things—how everything plays a part in health, from finances to spirituality.”

Although Sonne and Fuller enjoy their careers, they also both reported experiencing different treatment from colleagues because of their gender. “I’ve personally never seen gender as a barrier,” Sonne said. “But when I worked in California, patients would occasionally say, ‘I’ve never had a male hygienist before,’ but the male doctors with their usually all-female staff were thrilled to have me there. In Idaho, I think we could still be more accepting though. I’ve heard people say that I can’t be a good hygienist because I’m male.”

Fuller reports similar challenges. “Some female nurses seem to think that men can’t be as effective, that we can’t have as much compassion. When I tell people I’m a nurse, they giggle,” he said.

Both Sonne and Fuller work to educate their students about the need to overcome gender stereotypes.

“I was hired to work with students because of my 17 years of clinical experience,” Sonne said. “Like most dental hygiene programs, ours is dominated by women, although we do have a few male students. Regardless of gender, I think I can be a positive role model for all the students.

“We should encourage all people to pursue their professional passion, and I show our students it can be done,” he said.

Noting how pervasive gender bias can be in the nursing field, Fuller said, “As an educator, I have the power to change that culture. But I still have to teach that there are differences between men and women. Not all female patients are okay with having a male nurse – it goes against our societal concept of what a nurse is. I also tell my male students that they should always have a chaperone when working with young female patients; however, I don’t know of any female nurses who have chaperones when working with younger male patients.”

Fuller also feels that his female colleagues deserve more respect. “I think I get more respect from doctors because I’m male,” he said. “I’ve never had a doctor yell at me or make me feel stupid, but I’ve personally seen experienced female nurses, who probably know more than the doctor, be treated disrespectfully. On the other hand, female colleagues sometimes tell me that because I’m a man, I don’t have that ‘natural nursing instinct.’ We have to listen to each other, understanding that both genders have something valuable to contribute.”

As Fuller and Sonne educate the next generation of nurses and dental hygienists, they will continue to encourage their students to pursue their professional passions, no matter what their gender.

W hile outsiders sometimes think that Idaho is behind the times, in fact, Idaho has a history of innovation. A new local television program showcasing healthy,

natural lifestyles promises to push Idaho one step further toward national recognition.

Dr. Michael Karlfeldt, N.D., Ph.D, is a well-respected naturopathic doctor, originally from Sweden and now based in Meridian. “My goal is to create awareness of the mind/body/spirit connection in our ability to heal ourselves,” he said. Dr. Karlfeldt has hundreds of patients whose healing testimonials are a solid witness to the success of that mission.

Two years ago, the “Dr. Michael Show” began airing locally and built a loyal viewership. Demand for the show’s content led Dr. Karlfeldt to rethink the limited scope of his production. He partnered with Catrine McGregor of CatMac Entertainment, LLC, who has created True.Health with Dr. Karlfeldt, a new forward-thinking format for the popular show. “We have

filmed our first season and are so happy with the wide array of segments shot on location in Idaho and California,” he said.

McGregor was thrilled to join the Karlfeldt team. A long-time filmmaker based in Boise for the past six years, McGregor’s other passion has always been natural healing. “I’m in heaven,” she said. “I get to devote my time to doing a job I love while creating a show that actually makes a difference. Our director, Greg Green, has created a beautiful, informational television show that has education, passion, and humor at its base. We are so proud to have Chef Cristina Drake, teen Daniel Frandson and exercise specialists Carlie Young and Don Shanks (of Halloween V and Grizzly Adams fame) as segment co-hosts.”

At the recent premiere of the show, one of the segments featured an extensive interview with Michel Backes, a cannabis specialist based in Los Angeles. A disclaimer at the beginning of each show makes it clear that True.Health with Dr. Karlfeldt

is dedicated to showing as many healing protocols as possible, though many of the protocols shown are not endorsed by The Karlfeldt Center. The show will not shy away from controversial topics.

After a local run of True.Health with Dr. Karlfeldt, the show will go national. Jeff Sayer, the Director of the State of Idaho Department of Commerce, has been a strong supporter from the beginning. “Catrine has worked hard on his project, and we are excited for her. Filmmaking is an exciting opportunity for Idaho’s future economy, and we celebrate these moments as important steps in building that future.”

The show will create local jobs and also increase awareness of Idaho and exposure to local organic farms, products, alternative healers, natural veterinarians, and many other regional assets.

True.Health with Dr.Karlfeldt will begin airing on Thursday, September 10 at 4:00pm on Channel 72. Shows will also be archived and available for free viewing on TrueHealthShow.com.

RELAX AND ENJOYBOISE’S NICEST PATIO


N early ten years before the American Viticulture Association designated the Snake River appellation for wines grown in Southwestern Idaho in 2007, there was already a Snake

River Winery. The Winery’s slogan, “Idaho grown and family owned since 1998,” demonstrates owners Scott and Susan DeSeelhorst’s commitment to the increasingly popular local food movement.

“We chose the name Snake River Winery because the property sits on the edge of the ancient Snake River overlooking the valley,” Susan told me when I visited the winery’s popular BoDo tasting room.

The DeSeelhorsts acquired the Snake River Winery estate, located near Parma in the Arena Valley, by serendipity. Susan grew up in Boise; when the couple, then involved in managing Scott’s family’s ski resort in Utah, were looking for a summer home in the late 1990s, they chose her hometown. “We lived in a pretty remote area in Utah,” Susan told me. “We wanted to live somewhere in our summers off that had pizza delivery and trash pickup.”

Scott, a trained chef who previously ran all non-ski operations at the resort, also wanted to locate a few south-facing Idaho acres where he could plant grapes. Instead, the DeSeelhorsts found an 87-acre vineyard for sale. At the time, the land produced

just four types of grapes on 75 acres: Chardonnay, Reisling, Cabernet, and Merlot.

Today, the DeSeelhorsts grow 16 varietals, including specialty grapes that even seasoned wine lovers may not recognize. The soil conditions, with the sandy, cobbled riverbed, are ideal for growing grapes. Scott is the winemaker and partners with the estate’s manager to produce a variety of award-winning estate-grown wines. Snake River Winery was voted winery of the year by Wine Press Northwest in 2013. This year, their Cabernet was awarded “Best in Show” at the Idaho State Fair.

When Scott’s family sold their ski resort to Deer Valley earlier this year, the DeSeelhorts decided to relocate to Boise, purchasing and remodeling a 115-year old historic home near downtown Boise. The new residence is convenient to the winery’s tasting room, where Susan loves to help Boise residents and visitors discover Idaho wines. “Our biggest seller is our unoaked Chardonnay,” she told me. The wine, made from Chardonnay grapes without oak barrel aging is a European style that showcases the fruit’s flavor and pairs well with salads and appetizers. Snake Valley Winery’s Cabernet and Reislings are also popular. I found their Mourvedre Rose to be delightfully dry and refreshing, with a strong fruity bouquet.

Snake River Winery puts Idaho wines on the map


Susan notes that wine production is less glamorous than people might imagine. “The November 2014 freeze hurt us,” she said. “Grapes were the Idaho Crop of the Year at the state fair, but really, it’s still just farming. Idaho has a relatively good climate for grapes, but so much depends on the weather.”

If you’re downtown, sample Snake River Winery’s unique palate-pleasing wines in their BoDo tasting room, where a tasting flight is complimentary with wine purchase. Ask about the Wine Club, which includes complimentary tastings and discounts on wine and wine-related merchandise. You can also find the Snake River Winery at the Boise Farmer’s Market at Tenth and Grove April through December. And visitors to Boise can taste Snake River Winery wines twice a month at the Greenbelt store in the Boise airport just past the security checkpoint.

“I love the airport wine tastings,” Susan told me. “It gives us the opportunity to get people to try Idaho wines, and they are always pleasantly surprised. I have travelers tell me, ‘You guys are so cool here in Idaho!’”

soulful apparel

W hile Steve Lucas is best known for his time as a coach for Boise State’s soccer program, he is also the visionary owner of 7zero3, a lifestyle clothing line.

When we sat down over coffee at Java Downtown, I knew I was going to get a chance to sneak a peek into the intriguing world of the man behind the name.

Lucas was born and grew up in Northern Virginia. A spark fills his eyes and pride emanates as he talks about how he loved growing up there and growing up in the same house his father did. He is grateful for his parents, who he says “let me be me.” Lucas is vehement that one should be proud of where they come from. He says his father was the reason behind his entry into the world of soccer—which he played through High School and was recruited into Clemson College. In 1996, a coaching opportunity brought him to Boise, and he has stayed here ever since.

After serving as Assistant Coach for some time, he was asked to take on the role of Head Coach for the Boise State University Women’s Soccer Team. He spent the next 12 years living and breathing soccer. He enjoyed it, but suddenly in 2012 his life

was unexpectedly altered. He remembers the day clearly—it was a Tuesday—and he was devastated to find out his contract would not be renewed. Lucas instinctively went into survival mode, one he says that “any coach who has been coaching for a long time” would enter. He started immediately looking for the next coaching job, which he fortunately landed within a couple of weeks.

The new coaching position required him to start six months later. In hindsight, maybe it was a blessing in disguise. Those six months saw Lucas weighing his options about what he really wanted out of life. He had come to a point in his life when he was ready to stop chasing a career, start paying

attention to who he wanted to be, and have more time to be there for his family. Out of this soul searching period was born his brain child, 7zero3. Necessity and passion were his driving force.

The name 7zero3, represents the zip code in Northern Virginia where he grew up. When I ask him what his inspiration was behind the 7zero3 lifestyle brand that produces contemporary clothing and apparel, he says, “I was always into clothes, art,

the dirt

7zero3 ownerSteve Lucas


and music culture.” He is a die-hard fan of the band Kiss—attending his first concert when he was just 7. Lucas is a proponent of supporting local businesses and talent, so he employs the help of people with a flair for art to put to paper what he visualizes for the clothes. His apparel designs are exclusive, some even one of a kind, and are inspired by real people and life experiences. Lucas invests his soul and pride in what he does. He says, “I’m never going to put something out there that I wouldn’t wear. I want it to mean something to the person wearing it.” He wants his products, that he personally prints and dries himself, to be interactive. He would love to have people wear his IdaSoul Line and snap pictures from around the world to share. His four guiding principles are “soulful design, quality product, exceptional comfort, and meaningful interpretation.”

He concludes our enlightening conversation saying, “When it comes to life, when it comes to living, when bad things happen, when good things happen, you have to keep going. You have to keep paying attention to how you treat yourself and how you treat others. So much has happened to me, and I wouldn’t change any of it.”

Steve Lucas’s IdaSoul apparel can be found in Piece Unique on the corner of 10th and Idaho. For more information, visit the 7zero3 website at sevenzerothree.net

a trio of visionaries

T he Garden Valley village of Crouch, Idaho, had plenty of small-town charm, community pride, and natural scenery. It did not, however, have a full-service grocery store

and deli. At least not until Crouch residents Greg Simione and Gerold Dennett decided they and their neighbors deserved one.

Greg and Gerold hired Boise developer H. Larry Leasure, Chairman and CEO, White-Leasure Development Company, to build a new full-service grocery store. Leasure, who owns a home on the South Fork of the Payette, remembers, “The reason I got involved with Crouch and Garden Valley was because of Greg and Gerold’s vision–they wanted to keep the grocery store downtown and retain the feel of the town.”

“We wanted to preserve the quaintness and Western heritage,” explains Dennett. “The town residents enjoy the slow pace and unique setting.” Crouch’s buildings are all wooden frame structures, some dating to the early 20th century, including the Old Crouch Mercantile Exchange. “The Old Merc is about as charming as a building can get,” shares Dennett. “The grocery store was in there. It’s an incredible part of Garden Valley history.” Dennett and Simione took pains to preserve

by Pamela Kleibrink Thompson, photography by Lance Thompson

as much of the architecture and fittings of the Old Merc as possible, from wood plank floors to tin ceilings.

“We outgrew the building of the Merc and partnered with White-Leasure to build a new store, states Simione. “We converted the Old Merc to a craft and antique mall.” Now the Merc is home to dozens of artisans who each have a booth to display crafts including quilting, leather work and jewelry.

Dennett and Simione are retired professional dancers who are both active in the arts and know how important the freedom to express oneself can be for students. “The Art Center has developed programs with local artists to supplement the arts education in the Garden Valley School,” cites Simione. Past president of the Garden Valley Chamber of Commerce, Simione currently serves as president of the Garden Valley Center for the Arts.

Simione and Dennett point out that Crouch was home to internationally acclaimed Idaho artist James Castle, who created art using found materials and charcoal. Castle, deaf and mute, was driven to create art and didn’t let his disabilities

freestyle

Gerold Dennett, Greg Simione, and H. Larry Leasure


or the lack of art supplies keep him from expressing himself. Every September, Crouch celebrates the art of Castle with James Castle Days.

The grocery store outgrew its space in the Old Merc, so Dennett and Simione built a new supermarket, retaining the frontier Western decor and flavor, in June 2011. Local craftsman stained the concrete floors, built the stone fireplace and created the interior mural signs on the wall. In addition to national brands, The Garden Valley Market also carries some local producers selling elk meat, salsa, lavender products, eggs, poultry, firewood and more. The new 15,000 square foot commercial project has retail space available for lease and strengthens the commercial core in downtown Crouch.

“Our vision is that the growth that is coming is carefully planned and executed so Garden Valley/Crouch maintains an outdoor lifestyle with enough infrastructure to support outdoor living, ” shares Simione.

There are many picturesque small towns in Idaho that attract tourists and residents from across the country. But at the confluence of the South and Middle Forks of the Payette River, which also attracts fishermen and rafters, Crouch has an advantage--two residents who don’t believe that living in a small town means giving up connection with the arts, while enjoying the great outdoors. Only an hour’s drive from Boise, but worlds different, the population of Crouch is comprised of retirees, local residents who work in Crouch, and those who commute to the Treasure Valley.

“Our focus is on working with other residents to help maintain our rural lifestyle and make it possible to live and work and play in Garden Valley” adds Dennett.

“Crouch and Garden Valley have more services for residents than visitors might think. “It’s an entrepreneurial type environment.”

And now it has a supermarket, thanks to Simione, Dennett and Leasure.

To get to Crouch, go north on Highway 55 from Highway 44 (State Street) about 40 miles, turn right onto the Banks Lowman Rd and proceed 8 miles, turn left onto the Middlefork Rd. and about 2/10ths of a mile later

you have entered the village.

W hat’s your definition of the perfect sandwich? Mine might well be the Cubano—and I tried my first one right here in Boise, Idaho. The classic Cubano is

essentially a simple roasted pork, ham, and cheese sandwich with pickles, mustard, and Swiss cheese served on pressed bread. You won’t find these savory sandwiches in Havana: Like chow mein, the Cubano is an American creation according to many historians, a sandwich that served Cuban workers in Florida and was designated the “first signature sandwich “of Tampa, Florida in 2012. Others argue that it was created as a mid-day meal for Cuban cigar factory workers in the late 1890s. Whatever the truth of its origins, its present day incarnation in Boise is pure comfort food satisfaction. Here are three local places to enjoy a Cubano, each with their own take on this sandwich classic.

High Note Café

I have to admit that I had never noticed the High Note until a favorable Idaho Statesman review convinced me that I had to try my first Cubano. The café is tucked away on Fifth Street near the downtown Flying M, and on late Sunday mornings,

it’s a busy place. The High Note’s mouthwatering sandwich is a classic pressed sandwich with slow roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, homemade dill pickles, and yellow mustard (gluten free bread is available for an additional $2.00). If you’re there for a lazy Sunday brunch, enjoy the sandwich with a specialty Mimosa featuring unique homemade juice combinations. $9.95, served with your choice of side, soup, or salad.

225 N. 5th Street, (208) 429-1911, Monday through Thursday 11 am-9 pm, Friday and Saturday 11 a.m.-10 p.m., Sunday 11 a.m.-3 p.m.

You don’t have to go to Tampa to taste a first-class Cubano


Casablanca

If the Casablanca isn’t on your bucket list, it should be. Yelp ratings peg this restaurant as the best place to try a Cuban sandwich in Boise. They offer two versions of the Cubano, a classic sandwich with roasted pork, ham, mustard, and pickles, and the medianoche (midnight) sandwich, which features the same ingredients served on sweet egg dough bread. The sandwiches are served with French fries, or with sweet potato fries or a cup of soup for a bit extra. $8.99.

Casablanca also has a popular Cuban panini food truck (follow on Facebook for locations).

5506 W. Overland Road, (208) 331-2370, Monday through Saturday 11:00 a.m.-9:00 p.m., Sunday 12:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m.

The Dish

I’ve been a fan of the Dish’s chef Jered Couch since his sixonesix days in Eagle. Couch has carved out a culinary niche by taking creative risks with familiar dishes, and his take on the Cubano is no exception. His version of the popular pressed sandwich features pork bellies, prosciutto, candied jalapenos, zucchini pickles, and gruyere cheese with whole grain mustard, served with zucchini pickles, fries, or side house salad. I have to admit that the zucchini pickles are my favorite part of this dish, though I also like the substitution of gruyere for more traditional Swiss cheese. $11.25

EAGLE ROAD & THE FOOTHILLSNORTH OF BEACON LIGHT

GOOD OLD FASHIONED

FUN ON THE FARM! FAMILYFRIENDLY!


E agle Island State Park just may be the Treasure Valley’s best kept secret. Minutes from Eagle,

Star and Meridian, the park boasts an array of fun, family-friendly recreation opportunities. The list includes swimming, hiking, bird watching, disc golf, picnicking, volleyball, equestrian trails, a waterslide and paddle board rentals, to name only a few. The park seems to offer it all. But now there is a new, exciting adventure-based opportunity at Eagle Island State Park.

As the park completed a new entrance and access road from Highway 44, it also partnered with Experience Based Learning, Inc. (EBL) out of Rockford, Illinois, to install a zip line experience open now to thrill-seekers in Eagle and beyond.

The Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation (IDPR) believe the new entrance and zip line are going to be amazing assets to the park’s already lengthy list of great features.

Here’s more information about both projects at a glance:

Access from Highway 44 (State Street) – The new entrance will be easier access into the park at the Fischer Park and Eagle Island Parkway intersection. Turn lanes at the light and de-acceleration lanes will make the entrance safer too. Construction began July 1, 2015 and is slated to conclude this fall. Post- construction, the current Hatchery Road entrance (off of Linder) will only be used for special events and emergencies.

Taking flight at Eagle Island State Park – Installation of the zip line course began in August and includes over a half mile of aerial fun that provides visitors with a way to view the park like never before. The course encompasses approximately two acres and is suitable for providing zip tours for participants with a wide range of experiences and physical abilities. The course, engineered for safety, is slotted

to include six zip lines upwards of a quarter mile long, include EBL patent dual side-by-side racing zip lines, and a Quick Jump for the adrenaline seekers who wish to have the sensation of a free fall experience.

“We’re excited to continue building on Eagle Island State Park’s potential,” said David Langhorst, IDPR Director. “The park really is central to the Treasure Valley and has so much to offer in the way of outdoor recreation.”

The experiences within will not disappoint.

EBL is one of the nation’s leading installers of zip line tours with over 39 projects since 2002 and currently is affiliated with and operates ten locations across the United States. With projects installed from Hawaii to Alaska, Idaho to California, and Wisconsin to Florida, EBL makes for a great, experienced partner for Eagle Island State Park. When it comes to safety, EBL literally wrote the safety standard on zip lines, which became adopted as the ANSI

American National Standard in 2014. EBL is currently a Licensed Outfitter and Guide for the Zip Tamarack operation in Donnelly, Idaho.

Guided zip line tours start at around $79 per person and last roughly two hours, with shorter and longer tours and package discounts available. Only minutes from most Boise and Eagle locations, this tour is ideal for individuals, family outings, birthday parties, corporate functions, school groups, sports teams, and those checking off their bucket list items. Call 815-637-2969 or visit ZipBoise.com for details and updates. You may also research more on EBL at EBLziplines.com

As always, Eagle Island State Park entrance is free with your Idaho State Parks Passport or $5 per vehicle, per day assessed at the gate.

I t’s often said we are what we eat. Maybe not literally, but the food and drinks we consume definitely have a direct impact on our health. With the increasing amount of toxins

and chemicals in our foods, it would seem that the onus is on us to make the best possible choices when it comes to our daily diet. It is in our hands to prevent chronic diseases or at least maintain a clean bill of health.

Jennifer McClelland, the founder of Jenny’s Pure Food, is living proof of this. She was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroditis, a form of hypothyroidism. McClelland was given a stamp of her fate by a doctor stating that she would have to see herself living a life with this degenerative disease and having to progressively increase the dosage of her medication. However, under the supervision of her home doctor, her medication kept being reduced and she attributes her newfound health to the gradual lifestyle changes she made, first by eating more whole foods and then by adding in more nutrient-dense raw foods.

Today, Jennifer is medication free. She does not eat 100% raw vegan and does not adopt an official label—she simply enjoys

delicious & healthy

the culinary adventure of turning fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds into mouth-watering soups, appetizers, main meals, and desserts. Jennifer confesses that many of her meals are lazy, easy-to-make blended on-the-go smoothies, full of energy and nutrients.

Inspired by her discovery, McClelland realized that teaching others about healthy cuisine was what she wanted to do with her life. While living in China for a few years, she used her certification as a raw food chef to teach classes in Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong. She is known as one of the pioneers of the raw food movement in China.

Jenny’s Pure Food was born from McClelland’s desire to “add value to other people’s lives.” She adds “food is one way I can do that.” What started with the blender in her kitchen quickly turned into scrumptious desserts that she shared with friends and family. McClelland is determined to make food that is “deliciously healthy so that it is not a discipline, but rather a lifestyle that people can live with.”

Jenny’s Pure Food is pure health

north end


While most traditional desserts are filled with chemical preservatives, refined sugar, and white flour, Jenny’s Pure Food desserts such as the chocolate mousse, lemon cream custard, and salted “karmel cheesecake” use pure, natural ingredients derived from fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. She offers vegan, low glycemic, gluten free, dairy free, soy free, GMO free, and raw options. So if you ever find yourself searching for a guilt-free, delicious dessert, head down to the Boise Co-Op where you can find these tempting yet healthy desserts to satisfy that craving.

A graduate of Living Light Culinary Institute in Northern California, Jennifer McClelland is also a whole foods and raw food chef, instructor, and author of “The Right Blend: Blender-only Raw Food Recipes” which is available on Amazon and Kindle. She is available for classes, demos, and talks.

for the city’s readers and writers, to celebrate the literary center’s twentieth anniversary. The event gave me an opportunity to reflect on what the Cabin has meant to me as a member and as a local author (I’ve been a part of the Cabin since 2008).

“The Cabin provides a space for readers and writers from children to centenarians,” said marketing director Jocelyn Robertson, when I asked her about what makes the Cabin so important to our community. “It’s a community of people who are united by the power of the written word.”

Cabin founder and first Board President Alan Minskoff, who chairs the journalism minor at College of Idaho and still teaches writing workshops at the Cabin, settled in Idaho after

leaving is native New York in the 1970s. He wrote a highly regarded book about Idaho Wine Country that was nominated for Idaho Book of the Year in 2010. “The Cabin has exceeded the expectations of all of us involved in its founding,” he told

the birthday celebration audience, which included past and present board members, Idaho writers, and college students. “Then, as now, the Cabin meets a number of needs. It satisfies artistic desires and fosters creativity.” Minskoff thanked the City of Boise for its ongoing support, observing that

the twentieth anniversary marked a milestone of “gauzy imaginings transformed into one of the West’s most important literary centers.”

An important part of Minskoff’s initial vision for the Cabin was historic preservation. The eponymous cabin was originally designed as an Idaho State Forest Service office in 1940 and was part of Julia Davis Park. The spruce and pine structure, which sits adjacent to the main branch of the Boise Public

Library, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996 when the Log Cabin Literary Center was created.

The Cabin provides a wide range of literary opportunities to our community. One of its most recognized programs, Readings and Conversations, brings acclaimed authors to Boise to present at the Egyptian Theater, another historic landmark. This fall’s must-see event is Boise-based author and National Book Award winner Anthony Doerr in conversation with Jess Walter on October 6th. “Tony and Jess are going to write based on a prompt from one of our summer writing camp students,” Robertson told me. In November, the series will feature Daniel James Brown, author of Boys in the Boat. The spring will bring Roz Chast, George Saunders, and Jacqueline Woodson. Tickets can be purchased individually or as a series.

Other programs include drop-in writing workshops with New York Times bestselling author A.K. Turner and poet Danny Stewart, Happy Hour book clubs, and Writers in the Schools, which supports creative writing in 3rd-

12th grade classrooms throughout the Treasure Valley. An annual publication, Writers in the Attic, showcases the work of local writers including Christian Winn. In the summer, local authors lead writing workshops that help young writers to get to know our community. And the Cabin’s StoryFort coincides with the Treefort Music Festival in the spring (I was a StoryFort author last year). Karen Baerlocher, current Cabin Board President, told me, “It’s exciting to see where the Cabin has come from and how it has stayed the course of its original mission. It’s an essential part of our community.” Rita Rodriguez, a Cabin founding member, author of The Blue Doorknob, and a friend, agreed: “We create a community of writers. My book would not have happened without the Cabin.”

breaking barrier biases

“Life’s too short for people to feel like there’s something wrong with them.” – Andy Johnson

Andy Johnson has a noble aspiration for the continued betterment of humankind. He believes wholly in the fact that we can, as one society, break down the barrier of human biases and, in turn, create a healthy, accepting lifestyle for all who seek it. For this purpose, Andy has sought to help, lead, and inspire through consulting and conflict resolution.

Johnson is no stranger to animosity and friction. Like many of us, his experiences have shaped who he is as a person. But Andy has found a way to do something that not many of us have – a way to transform our negative occurrences into something positive and even inspirational. Growing up, Andy dealt with the ever-prevalent reality of being an introvert in a highly extroverted world. Instead of disregarding this trait as a shortcoming, he decided to harness and create something beautiful out of it, which has been a grand catalyst in his career as an author and consultant.

Johnson started out after college as an architect in California. After a number of years, he sought a change of scenery and moved to Idaho with his wife and three beautiful daughters to continue his career in architecture. Ten years later, he switched vocations and began pastoring at a local startup church. As is sadly too often the case, conflicts in his new career and the faith community he served began to arise. The experiences in that painful church ordeal prompted his

by Chelsea Chambers, photography by Phil White

first book, The End of Conflict. His second book, Entropy, was written to help all organizations deal more effectively with conflict while also moving toward team health. Both

books are wildly inspiring for individuals and groups alike. Introvert Revolution is Johnson’s latest literary endeavor and goes hand-in-hand with his resolve to aid and embolden introverts to live without shame and not only accept themselves, but to go a step farther and embrace their potential. By eradicating shame and encouraging teams and individuals to lead fearlessly and move toward their goals, Johnson is able to achieve one of his own personal dreams – to inspire and motivate people in such a way that they have no negative connotations about themselves.

We are at a time in history where we are constantly barraged with stimuli; it is often a conglomerated mix of positive and negative and may have longstanding repercussions on our self-worth and, in turn, our future potential. Andy Johnson has proven, and will continue to prove, that we deserve to live a healthy, positive, and productive lifestyle. No matter what our upbringing, our personality, or our preferences, we can and will succeed. Johnson is an incredible speaker, writer, coach, and motivator and will no doubt continue to lead and inspire.

If you’re interested in Andy’s latest book, Introvert Revolution, be sure to check out his website or the Amazon book page.

J ustin Reynolds bought his first home when he was 23, and then he remodeled it. “People knocked on our door looking to buy, so I guess I did a good job,” he jokes. Then he started

building new ones. As president of Sunrise Development LLC and Sunrise Signature Homes, Reynolds has lived in the Treasure Valley for 13 years. Currently, he is focused on the Tianna Park development off of Boise and Apple Streets in desirable Southeast Boise. A beautiful canopy of trees shades the new subdivision of fifteen homes. “Our homes are built to last with Spanish tile roofs, full stucco, quartz counters and many green and energy efficient upgrades. They range in price from $350,000 - $410,000.” he says.

Reynolds is keen about green. When asked about his dream project he enthuses, “I would love to do a green, net zero neighborhood in Boise that includes solar panels with the price of the home. I think that’s the only way solar will take off here. We have so much sunshine, we should be using it.”

For Reynolds, the biggest challenge as a developer and builder is finding the right location. “The current location was on my

radar for three years before we were able to put something together,” he says. “I always consider the reasons people love Boise, an urban-outdoorsy city. It’s important to be close to shopping, school and work but also close enough to the great outdoors that it’s accessible.”

Reynolds enjoys exploring the Treasure Valley with his wife Kristine, and their three children. “Whether it’s stumbling

across a waterfall or a great new restaurant with excellent creme brulee, it can all be done here in one afternoon!” he says. He shares what he likes most about Idaho: “Sounds cliche, but there’s no better explanation than the quality of

life. There’s no crime, pollution, or traffic, and the schools are awesome! We researched for two years before moving here and have never second-guessed our choice.”

As for his expertise, “Sunrise Signature Homes has been chosen time and again as the preferred builder based on our ability to build a quality product,” Reynolds. “We perfect our floor plans for each customer, maintain a steady contract, and

hold ourselves accountable to the highest standards.”

Reynolds also believes that every business should make strengthening the whole community a priority. “We buy as much as possible locally and from the Pacific Northwest and give our surplus materials to Second Chance and Habitat for Humanity because we’re all in this together.”

Reynolds has some long term goals with global implications. For every custom home he builds here, Reynolds plans to have a home donated and built for a family in Africa. “We are hoping the idea will catch on with other builders, developers, and suppliers. We are a small company and expect our impact will be small, but in a world where there is so much need, we hope to be significant to the people who receive homes.”
