Smoke rising above the Boise Foothills due to the Valley Fire.( Patrick J. Cusick)Residents of East Boise looked on with trepidation as last month's Valley Fire burned through more than 10,000 acres of the Boise foothills.Some homes were told they might have to evacuate, and Warm Springs Road was closed for a time before firefighters knocked down the flames. More and more homes are springing up in and along the foothills, in what's known as the Wildland-Urban Interface.The Boise Fire Department is actively working to make sure those homes can survive a wildfire. They are testing a new app that creates a plan for each individual property.Assistant Boise Fire Chief Romeo Gervais joined Idaho Matters to tell us more.

We're looking at the news that got us talking this week. Host Lindsay Van Allen and executive producer Frankie Barnhill are exploring overcrowding and dangerous conditions at county jails — including in Ada County. And we chat about the news that Idaho Power equipment caused the Valley Fire earlier this month. Plus, Lindsay whets our appetite with some $14 deals during this weekend's Taste of Downtown Boise kickoff, and Frankie shares some glowing national headlines about Boise State Football's Ashton Jeanty.  Want some more Boise news?

“This is all right at the beginning of fire season, and my symptoms really escalated from that point on. I started being paranoid, a startle response, it was crazy.  I thought I was going crazy.”  - Chief LindaThe mid-September Saturday in 2015 seemed harmless enough. It was forecasted to be cloudy with low winds and high humidity – a reprieve from a hectic, relentless fire season. Linda had been the duty chief for most of the major fires that had occurred, and she was looking forward to a few days off. But what came to be known as the Valley Fire – then the third-worst wildfire in California state history – had other plans. Join former firefighter/paramedic and host Phil Klein as he sits down with Linda, a retired chief and 32-year veteran of the fire service. Linda vividly recalls rushing to the fire and learning that the helitack crew – a group she knew well – was in the midst of a mayday situation after being cut off from their escape route. Left in command of the fire while the crew was being rescued, Linda was simultaneously forced to deal with the knowledge that her colleagues were in danger and the realization that the fire was quickly outgrowing the resources initially ordered to combat it. Linda shares how witnessing the crew's severe burns and injuries profoundly impacted her mental health and led to her diagnosis of PTSD. Now an author and performance coach, she strives to help others accept their PTSD diagnoses and work actively to recover. Chief Linda's book, Solving the Post Traumatic Stress Brain Injury Puzzle: A First Responder's GPS, can be purchased here. Thank you for listening!

Making changes can be overwhelming.  Especially in midlife and beyond! Not everyone is at the same place in life. If you just start where you are, and don't worry so much about the end goal, then the small changes can be big wins!In this episode I talk about how we can make big shifts in life with small changes. How just setting the intention to change can be a big deal. Our intentions are a major part of how we will get from where we are, to where we want to be.Many of the things I talked about are in a book written by Dr. Wayne Dyer. Although he's passed away, his spirit is still teaching us with the legacy he's left behind. If you are interested, the book is called, The Power Of Intention; Learn to Co-create Your World Your Way.

Finding time to do what you love can sometimes be a difficult task. Raising a family is a full time job, but for artist Remy McCosker, things were a bit more challenging. Being the mother of two, and one child with Autism, it added a lot more to her plate than the average mom.Over the years, Remy spent countless hours volunteering in her community. She loved being a part of the school, and also helped with local fundraising in the fire department. But all that was for others. She didn't make the time to create art just for herself, until her youngest was 17 years old.Years later now, Remy is taking her art seriously. She's doing what she loves and creating a side business with ART BY REMY.  She says it's never too late to begin doing what you love, and her creations are simply brilliant. Art is not just for the professionals. In creating, you can live in the moment. Dream for more. Be you authentic self, and don't pay attention to critics. Let the joy of art lift your spirits. You can begin by watching a youtube video, take a course at your community college, or just experiment.You can find Remy on Facebook at Art By Remy and you can go to Instagram and find her by the same name.

When you know something is wrong and doctors give you an unsatisfying diagnosis, dig deeper. Tammy Alameda was told her weight loss wasn't to be concerned about and her troubles were nothing more than hemorrhoids. Months later and several doctor appointments that gave no answers, Tammy saw another doctor who thought she should have had the colonoscopy she wanted. But it was too late. An ER visit and agonizing pain proved that not only did Tammy have  a problem, she almost lost her life.Being told you may only have 24 hours to live is something unimaginable. But for Tammy, she knew her time wasn't up. Her diagnosis of Stage 4 Cancer didn't detour her from the fact that she had a lot of living left to do, no matter what the doctors said.In this episode, Tammy shares her terrifying story that has a happy ending. It is so important that you seek answers no matter what your diagnosis. Always take someone with you to get all the information, and above all...NEVER GIVE UP!Find Tammy Alameda on Facebook here.

Today's episode is about how you can eliminate stress and be much more productive when you declutter your home work space. Not only that, but if you declutter your house, you will have a much more relaxed feeling upon walking through your front door after a long day. In midlife, we've accumulted quite a bit of stuff. Much of it we don't even use. My ideas aren't new, but I felt the need to share out with you how just going through one room a week to declutter, can bring you a great sense of peace.

LIfe is full of challenges. Sometimes it's hard to not be reactive when stressors weigh us down. Raising your vibration can help. Listen to today's episode, and I will explain about what I mean by, raising your vibration. I will also share with you some of my teachers, and how they have helped me to change my way of thinking by simply reading their books.It's easy to be in a high vibration when things are going smoothly, and life is easy. But the trick is to re-set back to your higher vibration quickly, even when unpleasant things occur. Two of the people I refer to in this episode are, Eckhart Tolle who is a spiritual writer and speaker, and wrote A NEW EARTH. Also there was Tony Robbins, who is a phenomenal public speaker and motivator.  These two are very uplifting and encouraging for raising your vibration.It is my intention to bring you inspiring content, and I hope you are enjoying these solo episodes. There is more of this kind of fun happening over on our Facebook group, also called Beautiful Second Act, so pop on over and join. As promised, here's some information about my book.  AFTER THE FIRE was written about the 2015 Valley Fire, that burned more than 1,000 homes.

Lately I have found myself falling back into old habits that never really served me. My fear based thinking has crept up on me during this fire season and I realized it was limiting my experiences.In this episode, I talk about how living in the present moment can bring us back to a more positive way of thinking. Being present releases us from all our evaluations, our anticipations, and our fears of what was, or what we fear of the future. It's only human to fall back into old habits. The good news is we can create new habits. The more we use the muscles of our brain to rewire our thoughts, the closer we are to having a new normal, new default, and new reality. Thank you for listening to Beautiful Second Act.

I sat in the kitchen of Mike Holland, a small town man with an adventurous spirit, and a heart as big as the whole world. His love of his family, his pride in his heritage, and the legacy he keeps alive of his beautiful grandmother, are all things that make Mike, a loving human being. Having worked with AT&T for 21 years now, Mike spent many of those years also volunteering with a group associated with his job called Pioneers Volunteer. His volunteerism has taken him all over and brought him such joy, just to help another fellow human in the midst of crisis. He has also helped with the Ronald MacDonald House Charities. The fun part of working with AT&T has been all the great people Mike has met. He joined a dragon boat team for both a domestic team, as well as an international team.

In midlife and beyond, we've hopefully learned that trying to be perfect is unattainable, and a bit ridiculous. This stressful way of being only creates a life of disillusionment , and cannot give you the ease and peace that accepting yourself just as you are does.In this episode, I talk about how after a lifetime of trying to control situations and striving to be as perfect as I could be, I am finally in a place of flow and joy, enjoying myself just as I am. We've reached midlife (or beyond), and know now that all those years we spent trying to be a certain size, trying to be a certain way to appease others, was just a waste to our peace of mind. If we can just love life and enjoy being who we truly are, others will see us in a brighter light as well.I spoke of a music video from Colbie Caillat called TRY: Here it the video LINKAlso my website romancetravelandfood.com:http://romancetravelandfood.com/I have a blog about writing my book, AFTER THE FIRE, where I have interviews and info on what was going on in our community in Lake County, during the four years it took me to write my romance novel about the 2015 Valley Fire:http://www.pattidienerwrites.com/And my book AFTER THE FIRE, is available here on this Amazon LINKThank you for tuning in and have a great day!Patti 

When you grow up in a huge Greek family, there are no secrets, but there is a whole lot of fun.Join me, as I interview Dena Paskaly, a midlife business woman, who lives every day as if it were her last. She's a traveler, owns a successful, and busy gated senior living community, and is the most fun person I have come across. She has two beautiful grown daughters, and  she and her partner, Ari, have traveled the globe. Being Greek, Dena had a unique, if not fascinating upbringing, where having 32 first cousins made her life more like the movie, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, than one could imagine. Their lives were always up for scrutiny by the rest of the large family, but you never wanted to cross any of them, for fear the rest of the Greeks would be after you. Only THEY could criticize their own family. I hope you enjoy this special interview where we had just a bit too much wine, laughed a whole lot, and talk about how the love of a good family can mold us into living our best lives.

I've never done this sh**  before and technology is something I navigate on a tightrope. But scared or not, I'm doing it to bring you my honesty, my passion, and in this episode, pull the curtain back on why I started this whole circus. In our second half of life, we know ourselves far better than our 20-30 something selves, and we understand better how life is short. We must find a way to live our best life and be unafraid to dive in and do that which lights us up. Do the things we are a little afraid to do but always wished we would. This opening episode will show you a little about my inability to do one thing for very long, my passion, and belief for being true to yourself, and how we all need to listen to the quiet, still voice inside our souls.If you'd like to be a guest on the podcast, please email me at: pdienerauthor@gmail.com and in the subject line write, Be A Guest.You can join me at my Facebook Group called Beautiful Second Act: https://www.facebook.com/groups/beautifulsecondact/You can also find me on Instagram at the same name; Beautiful_Second_ Act.I blog about my book at: http://www.pattidienerwrites.com/I also love to blog about all things romance & travel at:http://romancetravelandfood.com/You can buy my romance novel, based on the 2015 Valley Fire, here at this Amazon Link Please if you like this content, don't forget to SUBSCRIBE and leave A REVIEW.  It truly helps others find me and will allow me to spread the good word about living our most Beautiful Second Act.

Kangaroo Valley Fire Storm explores a personal design and building project Nick undertook in the beautiful Kangaroo Valley just a few hours south of Sydney. Now to say he put his life on the line to save this house - is no where near an understatement. He and a few of his mates and some local refugees battled and took refuge from the mega Currowan Fire and Nick’s story of preparing for, fighting and surviving this fire is nothing short of astonishing. It really does talk to Nick’s character and his detailed & thorough approach to everything he does not to mention his courage and self belief in his own design ingenuity - it’s a fascinating story and I strongly encourage you to take the time to listen to the whole thing as Nick is a great storyteller and he really does keep you on the edge of your seat throughout. Nicholas is the Principal and founder of Turner, one of Australia’s leading architectural practices employing around 100 permanent staff from 24 different countries. Within the practice, he leads the design of innovative mixed-use residential, public, workplace, industrial and hospitality projects that are both responsive and memorable, each with a strong identity that reflects a familial approach to repairing and enhancing the urban environment. Projects to date include locations as diverse as China, Indonesia, Nigeria, Iraq, Vietnam and Lebanon as well as locally in Sydney, Wolgan Valley, Melbourne, Tweed Heads, Bowral and a personal project of great significance in Kangaroo Valley - the design of which he literally bet his life on. Recently the practice has opened a new studio in London, offering direct access to opportunities within the UK and wider European markets. Nicholas is an accomplished speaker and presenter of ideas, providing clarity to the process of designing and delivering buildings, helping to steer a definitive course through the often-complex requirements of approvals and construction.

Most of the state will meet that threshold within a day or two, he said. Plus, San Diego County remained under a red flag warning for extreme fire danger Thursday, as gusty Santa Ana winds and low humidity combined to heighten the risk of wildfires.
