More mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus found in Ada County

Meridian Police Department Log

More mosquitoes tested positive for West Nile virus in Ada County Tuesday, the Ada County Mosquito Abatement District said. Now three locations, all on the outskirts of the county, show signs of West Nile.

The district has responded to the locations where these samples were found and will continue to monitor them throughout the summer.

What you can do to protect yourself is be extra careful between dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active, remove small pools of water — like a birdbath — from your property, wear bug spray, put on long pants and sleeves at night, and use screens on your homes doors and windows.

Last year, 17 Idahoans were infected with WNV. In 2006, Idaho led the nation in WNV infections with almost 1,000 infections, which contributed to 23 deaths.

June 27-July 3 Meridian Police made the following arrests or issued charges: 2 drug trafficking 5 possession of controlled substance 6 possession of drug paraphernalia 7 warrants 1 pedestrian under the influence 2 grand thefts 1 indecent exposure 1 driving without privileges 1 no-contact order violation 1 battery 6 driving under the influence 2 vehicle accidents 1 trespassing 1 open alcohol container 1 unlawful transportation of an alcoholic beverage 3 unlawful possession of a destructive device 3 unlawful detonation of a destructive device

Three Meridian teens were arrested Tuesday after police investigated reports of exploded water bottles.

Nine incidents took place in a residential area near Arnaz Street and at Settlers Park, Meridian Police Deputy Chief Tracy Basterrechea said, and two of the bombs rolled into people’s garages.

Eighteen-year-olds Riley Thomas and Brandon Ehle face felony charges of unlawful use and possession of destructive devices, according to the Ada County Sheriff’s Office. A 17-year-old male was also arrested but is no longer in custody, Basterrechea said.

PLUGGED IN

Has your church, business or meeting place had a fire inspection? in your words When people think of firefighters, they typically imagine someone running into a burning building to put out a fire.

It is true, we put out fires, but we do so much more than that.

Meridian firefighters answer your medical calls, and we spend a lot of time in the community working on fire prevention, particularly fire inspections.

Any time you are in a public building, like a movie theater, hospital or your church on Sunday, you expect it to be safe. Our job as firefighters is to make sure those buildings are as safe as

they possibly can be. That is why we have fire inspections. Regular business inspections help us prevent fires and other potential tragedies instead of simply reacting to them.

In Meridian we have two fire inspectors. Every year they make sure to visit the hightraffic public places like schools, apartments and hotels. Other public buildings that don’t see as many people on a daily basis are inspected at least once every three years.

Our inspectors are looking for pretty common sense things.

UP & DOWN to Little Kitchen Pastries for answering the questions of the Killer Cookies 4-H Club, and for awesome fruit danishes. to the farmers market at The Village. What a letdown. Meridian needs to take some tips from the market downtown. Very disappointed.

I agree. A farmers market should at least have some veggies! We drove by a few weeks ago and did not even get out of the Jeep. I hate going all the way to Eagle or Boise, but that is what we will do. The markets should be farm-grown produce and products, or arts and crafts that come from local artisans. Not commercial candles, cheap shoes and flea market items.

The reseal being done on Pine Street east of Locust Grove Road is really messing with the traffic flows on Locust Grove. There are a lot of flaggers. I counted eight of them, most standing around. Going north, traffic was backed up nearly all the way to Franklin before 9 a.m. With the mess on Meridian, why couldn’t this wait until later in the season? to people who try a U-turn when it’s not a U-turn street. If you can’t make it in one turn, don’t do it.

Send your thumbs up or thumbs down to news@ mymeridianpress.com n

They want to make sure there are no wiring issues and that chemicals stored next to one another won’t ignite if combined.

They also want to make sure fire extinguishers are up to date and that exit signs are properly placed and well-lit. They will double-check emergency exit doors to make sure they are not blocked and can easily be used.

We understand that for business owners, inspections can be an inconvenience. But we strongly believe these inspections can help protect their business, and more importantly

help save lives if there ever was an emergency.

You may not be a business owner but you can also do your part to help prevent tragedies in our community. Next time you go to see a movie, take note of where the closest emergency exit is; maybe even try to locate a fire extinguisher. This may seem silly, but if you ever find yourself in

a fire, it is important you get out of there as quickly as you possibly can.

So while I’m sure many of you will continue to think of firefighters as people who only put out fires, I hope maybe you’ll also think of us as the people who are trying to prevent fires from happening. n

Mark Niemeyer is Meridian Fire Chief.

what you’re saying on Relive your youth by playing adult dodgeball in a Parks and Recreation league facebook about ...

At some point in your life you’ve probably played or watched a game of dodgeball. Many of us remember recess during junior high when dodgeball was so popular that more kids could be found ducking and dodging than shooting hoops on the basketball court. That red rubber ball would be flying around the playground so fast that some kids never knew what hit them.

Our middle-school years may be long gone, but that doesn’t mean dodgeball has to be. The city of Meridian Parks and Recreation Department is giving us the opportunity to relive our youth by offering an adult dodgeball league.

Everyone has an old dodgeball story. Maybe you never got hit — or maybe you’re just the opposite and got hit all the time. By playing in this adult dodgeball league, we have the chance to show everyone that we still got it, or maybe this will be the time you finally get it. Either way, this league is just about having fun!

Dodgeball doesn’t just give us the chance to relive our glory days, it is also a great workout. Think about all the muscles that are involved

in dodging, throwing, running and using the person next to you as a human shield. It is a lot. After dodging a ball for 10 three-minute periods, your heart will be pumping, but the best part is that it is fun!

Don’t be afraid to get back on the court this fall. Gather your coworkers, friends, family or neighbors and get a team together. If you thought your middle-school stories were good, just imagine the stories you can tell about playing dodgeball as an adult.

Come one, come all and give us a call at 888-3579, email us at recreation@meridiancity.org or visit our website at www.meridiancity. org/parks_rec for more information. Don’t wait too long to inquire; the dodgeball registration deadline is Aug. 9. n Garrett White is recreation coordinator with the Meridian Parks and Recreation Department.

Nine water-bottle bombs detonated; two 18-year-olds face felony charges I have known these two for many years, who have pretty much lived at our home and who have been like my sons.

We all make stupid mistakes, and I know that they did not understand the magnitude of what they were doing, so please let’s not pass judgments on them. I love these kids and our family will support them every step of the way.

Process to choose public art project gets ‘muddied’

ity Council was exC.J. RENCH’S “UNDER THE SUN AND DREAMING” pected to award a bid for the Meridian Split Corridor public art project — or Meridian Crossover project — at tonight’s meeting. But, as Councilman Charlie Rountree put it, the process got so “muddied up” that Council delayed the decision in order to discuss it further with the Meridian Arts Commission (MAC) and legal staff.

MAC had narrowed proposals down to three artists and, going against its selection subcommittee and public votes, recommended C.J. Rench’s “Under the Sun and Dreaming” piece to City Council.

The confusion arose by Holly Beech when the Council started hbeech@mymeridianpress.com wrestling with the subcom- © 2013 MERIDIAN PRESS mittee’s recommendation that the city choose two different artists: Delia DeLapp’s family sculpture and Rench’s “Star of the West” sculpture, which was not included in the public voting process. That led to a discussion about changing the sculptures’ size or materials so they would remain within budget and fit the allotted space.

“I won’t be supportive of any motion … because I think we have a convoluted process,” Rountree said.

He also felt it wasn’t right for DeLapp, a Treasure Valley resident, to speak at the meeting while the other artists who live farther away didn’t have a chance to represent themselves.

In the end, only Council President Brad Hoaglun voted yes to his motion that the city pick DeLapp’s family sculpture and go through a separate process to find a sculpture for the north parcel of the corridor.

Artists and the public will likely have to wait until midAugust or later until the Council chooses a piece.

Mayor Tammy de Weerd and the council expressed a need to figure out a smoother selection process for the future.

Question for Dr. Kronberg: Why is it important to take my child to a residency trained pediatric optometrist?

Answer: Many parents take their child to a pediatrician or pediatric dentist because they want specialized care for their child, and for good reason.

The same consideration should be given to vision care. When you choose a residency trained pediatric optometrist, you are assured that the doctor has the knowledge and experience to provide an advanced level of specialized care for your child’s vision.

Accepting new patients

Dr. Ryan Johnson is Idaho’s only optometrist residency trained in neuro-optometry, binocular vision, and vision therapy.

Question for Dr. Johnson: What types of patients do you specialize in?

Answer: I specialize in patients who have vision problems that cannot be corrected with a typical pair of prescription glasses. These are people with binocular vision dysfunction, double vision, amblyopia, strabismus, or individuals who have vision problems following an acquired brain injury resulting from trauma or stroke. Because of my residency I have an advanced level of training in these areas. I routinely see patients for neuro-optometric and binocular vision evaluations as well as develop and oversee treatment, including vision therapy.
