Everyday, It Gets Done

A look at the men doing the work that keeps the Treasure Valley running Photography by Phil White, 8th Street Studio Spend enough time in the Treasure Valley and you start to see the people who keep things moving. Not always in obvious ways. Sometimes it’s in how a business is run day to day. Sometimes it’s in the work that happens early, or late, or behind the scenes.

Small City, Central Role

How Mayor Bill Jacobs is shaping Garden City through relationships Article by Jana Kemp | Photography by Provided Garden City sits in the middle of the Treasure Valley in more ways than one.

Time, Age & Risk

As retirement approaches, time becomes more valuable than returns, changing how we evaluate investment risk Article and Photography by Bill Overton When I was younger, my calculus for risk in my outdoor pursuits was pretty straightforward.

Where Growth Meets Community in Eagle Idaho

New chamber leadership reflects the quiet work shaping how a small city continues to evolve Article by Staff Writer | Photography by Provided In Eagle, growth does not always arrive all at once. It shows up in small ways, a new storefront, a familiar name in a different place, a quiet shift in how people move through town. It is easy to think of a chamber of commerce as the group behind ribbon cuttings and events. And that is part of it. But in a place like Eagle, much of the work happens in...
