Let’s talk about stuttering, not shy away from it

connect hbeech@mymeridianpress.com

tuttering was a fascinating topic to write about last week. I spoke with a 30 year old who stutters, and even though he is married and has a doctorate degree and two prestigious jobs, he said his stuttering still makes him feel less than human sometimes. Stuttering affects 4 percent of the population, and it’s something we as a society need to be more open about, said my source, Daniel Hudock. During the interview, he opened up about some of his experiences. The first time he remembers stuttering was in the lunch line in early elementary school. “I was trying to order a piece of pepperoni pizza, and for some reason I just couldn’t say the ‘pah’ in the pepperoni. I was stuck,” he said. “I saw the lunch lady frantically looking around saying, ‘This? This? This?’ And she was doing her best to help. … I started to look around, and people were turning and looking at me. And I noticed at that point, something’s not right, I’m not the same as every one else. And I think I remember crying at that point and just walking out of the line and skipping lunch altogether.” Hudock began going to speech therapy, where he saw other children letting their stutter hold them back. As he got older, he decided that he wouldn’t shy away from asking questions in class, from taking leadership roles in high school, from ordering his own food at restaurants and from making phone calls. His passion for helping other people who stutter live full lives led Hudock to become the director of the Northwest Center for Fluency Disorders and an assistant professor in Idaho State University’s speech pathology department. Even though Hudock speaks confidently and talks openly about stuttering, a childhood memory continues to stir up anxiety when he meets someone new or is in an unfamiliar situation.

He was in middle school, hanging out at the mall, when a girl walked up to him and said, “My friend thinks you’re cute. Do you want to go talk to her?” He wasn’t about to pass up this golden opportunity. “I walked up confidently, she said her name, and I said, ‘Hi, my name is D-’ and I got stuck,” Hudock said. “And it just wasn’t coming. I could see all of them turn, snicker, laugh. And then I finally, instead of saying ‘Dan,’ I say ‘George,’ because it was easier by Holly Beech to say than Dan.” “Don’t you know your name?” the girl hbeech@mymeridianpress.com © 2014 MERIDIAN PRESS shot back. “They all laughed,” Hudock said. “And I said, ‘No, I stutter.’ And I just walked away in shame.” A lifetime of successful experiences can’t erase that moment, he said. “It’s always in my mind, every time I talk to someone new or unfamiliar, … I have that fear and anxiety.” Hudock said there are dozens of breathing and speaking techniques he could use to try to reduce his stuttering — but it’s exhausting. “Try to have a conversation without saying the letter ‘m’ or ‘r’ or ‘s,’” he said. “It puts things in perspective fast.” What’s best, he said, is when his listeners care more about what he says than how he says it, when they look him in the eye and when they are patient. Hudock is coming to Meridian this month when ISU-Meridian hosts an intensive stuttering clinic for children. Learn more at bit.ly/ISUstutter.

Officials disinfect and reopen Eagle Island swim spot



The swimming area at Eagle Island State Park re-opened Saturday. The area had to be disinfected this month after the norovirus reportedly made more than 100 people sick with flu-like symptoms. Idaho Parks and Recreation closed the swimming area July 14 and worked with Central District Health and the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality to address the problem. “We’ve taken extensive measures to address the recent concern and cause of illness at Eagle Island State Park,” Parks and Recreation Operations Administrator Keith Hobbs said in a statement. “Lake levels were lowered and impacted facilities thoroughly disinfected. The lake has been refilled, and water testing has occurred throughout this process.” The parks department said it will continue to closely monitor water quality. To report suspected recreational water illness, call CDH at 327-8625 or email WebCD@cdhd.idaho.gov.

Ada County mosquito trap tests positive for West Nile Virus



A mosquito trap near Star, between Highway 16 and North Star Road, tested positive for West Nile Virus, the Ada County Weed, Pest & Mosquito Abatement Department announced last week. This is the virus’ first appearance in Ada County mosquito abatement traps so far this year, officials said. After fogging the area, a retest in the same trap location showed no WNV. As of press time, no human cases had been reported. Last year, 40 human cases of WNV were reported in Idaho, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Idaho cases hit a 10-year high in 2006 with 996 reports. To “Fight the Bite,” be extra careful to avoid mosquitoes between dusk and dawn; cover up exposed skin; wear insect repellent; remove any standing water from your property, which can serve as breeding ground for mosquitoes; and replace damaged screens on your home’s windows. Keep an eye on current mosquito abatement activity at adacounty. id.gov/Mosquito-Abatement/Mosquito-Tracker.

New stretch of Hwy 16 opens this month



The 2.5-mile Idaho 16 extension connecting State Street to Chinden Boulevard, featuring the first new crossing of the Boise River in the area in at least two decades, will officially open following a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10:16 a.m. on Aug. 15. Central Valley Expressway Coalition is spearheading the planning and funding of the event. The ribbon-cutting will take place just south of the new bridge. After the event, the Idaho Transportation Department will open the project to traffic. The total cost of construction, design, engineering and land acquisition was $111.1 million. Concrete Placing Co. and Idaho Sand & Gravel have been the main contractors. Knife River Construction and Nampa Paving are two of the main sub-contractors. Construction began in May of 2012.

New FitOne program rewards kids for healthy behaviors FitOne, in partnership with High Five Children’s Health Collaborative, has launched a new program for Treasure Valley kids to promote healthy environments in the home. The FitOne Kids Club is a year-long membership program for children age 12 and younger designed to inspire fun, fitness and healthy habits while motivating families to learn and teach healthy lifestyle behaviors. “Being fit is not a destination; it is a way of life,” FitOne director Heather Hill said. “We have designed a program that sets goals, but also rewards kids with fun, healthy activities.” Kids Club members start by signing a pledge to follow the 5-2-1-0 rule — eating five servings of fruit and vegetables, hav-

ing less than two hours of screen time, exercising for one hour and not drinking any sugar-sweetened drinks in a day. Members will track their progress online. The Kids Club is presented by St. Luke’s in partnership with the High Five Children’s Health Collaborative, a childhood obesity prevention program powered by the Blue Cross of Idaho Foundation for Health. “One in three Idaho children are overweight or obese,” Blue Cross of Idaho Foundation Manager Kendra Witt-Doyle said. “It is time to actively support and get involved with positive programs like FitOne’s Kids Club that help families get active and introduce them to resources that promote health.” The membership enrollment period runs through Aug. 15. There’s an annual fee of $15 per child. Five dollar discounted memberships are available for children enrolled in the free and reduced lunch program. To sign up, visit fitoneboise.org

Projects Continued from page 3 “You’re able to bring in so many more things to those kids that a lot of those kids can’t afford,” she said, such as basketball camps and martial arts. Four of five of the club’s members are from low-income families, and one in three live in poverty, according to development director Jodi Gempler. The clubhouse has been full since opening its doors in Meridian in the early 2000s, Mayor Tammy de Weerd said.

In a growing city like Meridian, road construction signs seem to become part of the landscape. One of the biggest projects in Meridian right now is the rebuilding of the Meridian Road Interchange and the SOURCE: Boys and Girls Clubs of Ada outside lanes of Interstate 84. This is County; city of Meridian causing some lane closures and speed limit decreases. The project will wrap up in late 2015. Another area of focus is Eagle Road. Within 20 years, the Idaho Transportation Department expects traffic on Eagle Road to double — from 40,000 vehicles a day to 80,000 vehicles a day. This summer, ITD is adding a third southbound lane onto Eagle Road from Franklin Road to I-84. Construction is being done mostly at night and is slated to wrap up in September. Major road projects set to begin in 2015 include: 1. Ten Mile Road, from Cherry Lane to Ustick Road n Widen Ten Mile Road from two lanes to four/five lanes n Add curb, gutter, sidewalk and bike lanes n Widen and install traffic signals at Ten Mile/Cherry and Ten Mile/ Ustick intersections 2.

Groundbreaking on Meridian’s new dog park and Storey Park improvements is slated for late August or early September. The new, 2.25-acre dog park will have large and small dog sections, pathways, a picnic shelter and drinking fountains for both dogs and people. The $226,400 project should be done by May. Storey Park will get a facelift, with more parking, a reconfiguration of the existing drive aisle and a better connection from the existing restrooms to the rest of the park. Improvements will cost $1.3 million. With the dog park addition, Storey Park, at 205 E. Franklin Road, will span 19 acres.

YMCA Though not an agenda item at last week’s town hall meeting, the future YMCA facility in Meridian is gaining steam, said Scott Curtis, a senior vice president at the Treasure Valley Y. The Y has narrowed down land options in south Meridian, though Curtis can’t yet specify where the facility will be or when it will open. A cabinet has been formed for a fundraising campaign that will benefit both Meridian’s new facility and the Y’s endowment fund. More than $1 million has been committed to the fund, Curtis said. The new Meridian facility, complete with swimming pools and basketball courts, will cost an estimated $15 million to $20 million. Hummel Architects in Boise has been chosen for the project. The Y is talking to the city of Meridian about a partnership, but details aren’t outlined yet. Curtis said more information about the project should be available in about a month.

BUDGET ENHANCEMENTS Budget enhancements are specific items requested by city departments for the upcoming budget year. Departments requested a total of $17.9 million in enhancements, including 17.5 new full-time employees. Examples of requests this year are: POLICE n $231,028 to add two officers and vehicles designated to impaired driving enforcement and education. n $91,000 for body-worn cameras for all uniformed patrol officers to video and record all enforcement activity. According to the city, the hope is that the cameras will reduce false accusations against officers and reduce tort claims. n $103,239 for an additional police detective. PARKS n $100,000 to go toward connecting and improving the city’s pathways. n $486,140 for Meridian Road Interchange landscaping, which includes four planted triangles and trees on the slopes and along the interstate.

ranck Bacquet is the self-proclaimed pickiest chef in Boise. “I look for everything to be perfect,” he said. Seeing that he’s catered for the king of Belgium’s birthday party, can you blame him? The well-loved French chef, who has been cooking for more than 30 years, is taking on a new adventure as executive chef at Angell’s Bar & Grill Renato in Boise. Bacquet been building up a Treasure Valley following since he chased a romantic relationship to Boise 11 years ago. You may know him — or at least his culinary work — from his former French restaurants: Bacquet’s at Boise Towne Square and Le Coq Rouge in west Boise, which he closed last year for personal reasons. After working odd jobs since then, Bacquet is excited to be able to cook for his fans again. “People have asked me when I start again,” he said with a heavy French accent. Bacquet is helping mix things up at Angell’s with a new European menu, by Holly Beech influenced by French, Italian, Spanish hbeech@mymeridianpress.com and German cuisines. © 2014 MERIDIAN PRESS “It’s very, very good,” Bacquet said. But Angell’s isn’t stopping there. Co-owner Russell Dawe has his sights on opening a culinary school at the restaurant by early 2015. “That’s one of the reason we did a complete remodel of the kitchen,” Dawe said. Angell’s closed at the end of 2012, but Dawe, a long-time fan, couldn’t let it stay that way. Though no stranger to being a business owner, Dawe’s first experience owning a restaurant began when he opened Angell’s back up in June of 2013. “We didn’t buy this because we were restaurateurs,” Dawe said of himself and his wife, Marika Dawe. “We had been entrepreneurs for the last 30 years. We just had been successful, so we bought this, and I did not want to see this become office

Meridian Rangers first baseman Lawney Staggs waits for a ground ball in the American Legion AA West Division championship doubleheader July 25 against the Nampa Chiefs at Wolfe Field in Caldwell. The Rangers lost the division title and fell 11-1 in their state tournament opener Wednesday against the Idaho Falls Bandits.

Rangers, Toros both fall in state openers T

he Meridian Rangers and the Mountain View Toros both started the AA American Legion baseball state tournament shaky Wednesday. Both were 10-runned in the first round in Lewiston at Lewis-Clark State College, setting up an elimination game between the Rangers and the Toros after the Meridian Press’ deadline Thursday. The Meridian Rangers (29-10) drew the two-time defending state champion Idaho Falls Bandits in the first round, and Idaho Falls

ended the game in the eighth inning with an 11-1 victory. Idaho Falls led 2-1 until it broke open the game with a five-run fifth inning, an inning the Rangers could never recover from for their fourth straight loss. Nathan Pena drove in Chase Labbe for Meridian’s only run with a single up the middle in the fifth inning, and Tyler Hollingsworth and Talon Kreft each collected two hits. Mountain View was the victim of two big innings in a 15-5, seven-inning loss to the host Lewis-Clark Twins.

Mountain View and LewisClark played to a 2-2 tie through three innings, but Lewis-Clark, the 36-time state champ, plated seven runs in the fourth and six more in the fifth to put the game away. Auggie Francis and Kirby Orr both doubled for Mountain View (17-19), and Kody Garvin drove in a pair of runs. The Toros burned through five pitchers in the loss, but they could never stem the tide of the LewisClark offense. Meridian beat Mountain View 4-2 in their only meeting earlier this summer.

Police agencies to send unclaimed guns to auction

bout 200 firearms that have been seized by local law enforcement agencies will be auctioned off next month to gun dealers. Roughly one-tenth of the weapons are from the Meridian Police Depa r t ment. by Holly Beech The rest are hbeech@mymeridianpress.com from the © 2014 MERIDIAN PRESS Boise and Garden City police departments and the Ada County Sheriff’s Office. Money made at the auction will go into the cities’ and county’s general fund. There are a variety of reasons why police might confiscate a weapon. In most cases, Meridian Deputy Police Chief Tracy Basterrechea said, it’s because someone committed a felony and can no longer possess a gun. “If we seized a gun at the scene and then

if charges are dropped,” he said, “they can come back in and get their gun back.” Most seized firearms are claimed and returned to the owner, Meridian Police legal adviser Terry Derden said. Giving a ball-park estimate, he said Meridian Police probably confiscates 100 to 200 guns a year, and about 75 percent are returned to the owner. If the gun isn’t claimed after six months, Idaho code says law enforcement agencies can auction it off or, in some cases, add it to their arsenal. Local agencies forgo the latter option, however. “Because we don’t know where those guns have been and how they’ve been kept up over the years, ... it’s just not something we want to get into,” Basterrechea said. Weapons without a serial number or those used in crimes are destroyed, Derden said. Guns aren’t the only confiscated or unwanted items that police agencies send to

Law enforcement agencies can send unclaimed, seized items — such as these bicycles seen at the Ada County Sheriff’s Office — to auctions, making some money for local governments’ general funds. Next month, Meridian Police will send weapons to a firearms auction for gun dealers. auctions. Old patrol vehicles and equipment, unclaimed bicycles and household goods are also sold. “Weird, random stuff like a wheelbarrow or a walker,” Ada County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Patrick Orr said. “We have an incredible amount of bikes.” Bikes have a 90-day window to be reclaimed before they can go to auction. In the last five years, Meridian has made $106,000 through auctions, spokeswoman Maria Cambron said. Much of that has

been from old police vehicles. The city hasn’t participated in a gun auction in almost four years, Derden said. The auction will take place Aug. 14 at the sheriff’s office and is only open to gun dealers with a federal firearms license. The stock for this auction, Orr said, includes mostly hand guns, along with rifles and shot guns. This will be the first time Meridian will contract with Corbett Auctions and Appraisals, Inc. in Kuna. Corbett will receive 20 percent of the proceeds.

There’s plenty of people that want to shop there, but it’s not convenient to go down into Boise.” – Julie Verkerk n “Good luck, not sure I would have picked that location for the ‘North Ender’ Co-op; most of their current customers hate the urban sprawl of Meridian.” – Corey Rider Tidwell  Join the conversation at facebook.com/MeridianPress. n

About the Boise Co-op

Since 1973, the Boise Co-op has been a member-owned cooperative focused on providing its members with access to high-quality, natural and organic foods. In the past few years, the co-op’s flagship 25,000-square-foot North End location has been renovated, and the co-op has expanded to include a wine shop and pet shop across the parking lot from the main store. SOURCE: Red Sky Public Relations

Boise Co-op will open 2nd location at The Village

fter surveying its fans from across the Treasure Valley about where a new location is in highest demand, the Boise Co-op on Monday announced its new destination: The Village at Meridian. The new 25,000-square-foot store will open in mid-2015 at The Village North on Eagle Road and East River Valley Street, near Michael’s, Babies ’’R’’Us and the Nike Factory Store. “Some of our plans include offering many community events such as cooking classes, food and wine tastings and hosting a regular farmer’s market,” the co-op announced. “We are thrilled to become a part of the Meridian community. Growing the Co-op creates jobs that pay a living wage and provides our local farmers and producers another outlet to sell their incredible products.” About 2,700 votes came in during the co-op’s poll, with Meridian receiving the most votes for where the second location should be, Boise Co-Op outreach coordinator Shannon McGuire said. Nampa came by Holly Beech in second, trailing hbeech@mymeridianpress.com by about 275 votes. © 2014 MERIDIAN PRESS With all the buzz about the poll, CenterCal Properties, which developed The Village, approached the co-op about moving there. “We are beyond thrilled that the Boise Coop has chosen The Village at Meridian to open their first location outside of Boise city limits,” CenterCal president Fred Bruning said in a statement. “This store will add a whole new dimension to our current offerings.” The Village might seem like an interesting choice for a member-owned co-op that offers organic and local products, McGuire said. “On the surface, The Village kind of looks like this big retail plaza. But when you get in there and hear the stories and see this push for creating a local marketplace, it’s exciting,” she said. “It’s not so high end that you feel, ‘Oh my gosh, I can’t shop here.’ It has that local presence being created.”

CenterCal has proven itself to be a big supporter of local communities around the country, she said. “It was great opportunity that we thought, we cannot pass this up,” McGuire said. Another factor in the co-op’s decision was location, she said. The Village is in a central spot for its roughly 25,000 members. McGuire said more details will come in the future, including the project cost and renderings of the new building.

Meridian youth baseball team slides into world series T

welve of Meridian’s youth baseball players are headed to Aberdeen, Maryland, next week to compete in the Cal Ripken World Series. Some of the teammates, ages 12 and 13, have played together for the last four years, sweeping state championships each year. They defeated a southern Washington team 7-5 in the regional tournament Saturday, boosting them to the world stage with 17 other teams from around the world. “The first day of practice we just said, this is our goal, we want to go to the world series,” assistant coach Ryan Cantrill said. “And they’ve stayed focused, practicing almost every night.” This is the fifth team from the Meridian Youth Baseball and Softball program to compete in the world series. Last year, Meridian’s 12U (age by Holly Beech 12) and 10U teams competed. The 10U hbeech@mymeridianpress.com team advanced to the quarterfinals, © 2014 MERIDIAN PRESS winning two games and losing three. The 12U team put up a tough fight but left the tournament with a 0-4 record. Cantrill hopes things go a bit differently this time around. “We want to go and win some games,” he said. “You can expect we’re going to see some world-class competition.” Win or lose, the team is guaranteed at least four games at the tournament. And, win or lose, the players have already made their mark. “I couldn’t be prouder of the kids, that’s for sure,” Cantrill said. “They’ve been thinking about this moment for the last three to four years.” When the players finally secured their spot at the world series, their reactions made Cantrill chuckle. “They’re pretty funny,” he said. “We finally won it, and they had to go look up Maryland on a map, like, ‘Oh, it’s all the way over there!’” The boys are excited to get their new uniforms, cleats and Under Armour, all covered by the tournament. Plus, Cantrill said, retired baseball Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr. hangs out at the tournament, shaking hands and getting pictures with the players.

From left, top row: coach BJ Mills, Ryan Franklin, Braden Guerrero, Gabe Hughes, Briggs Ranstrom, Seth Jones, Braxton Mills, Tristan Ray, coach Ryan Cantrill, head coach Juan Vega; bottom row: bat boy Parker Leaf, Hayden Cantrill, Noah Kraft, Isaiah Vega, Quinn McGuire, Mason Leavitt. their own plane tickets and hotel rooms. They’re trying to raise $25,000 on Gofundme.com. Most of the team parents have been together for the last four years, and they’ve become like family, said Stacy Ray, mom to pitcher, outfielder and second baseman Tristan Ray. “(The boys) have worked so hard and given it their all, and to see their dreams come true, it’s just been an amazing experience,” she said. Meridian’s 13U Babe Ruth team also has a chance to go to the Babe Ruth World Series, the tournament for older teams. The team is competing this week in the Pacific Northwest regional tournament in Helena, Montana.
