siblings, Walsh Jennings said she tried out almost every sport.

“When I was 10, I found volleyball and I fell in love with all my heart,” the 37-year-old said. “I didn’t talk a lot as kid, but physicality gave me confidence, and when I found volleyball, I found my voice.”

She and former teammate Misty MayTreanor took gold in the 2004, 2008 and 2012 Olympics. Walsh Jennings got her start at the Olympics in 2000 on the U.S. women’s indoor volleyball team, which placed fourth.

“It just makes you really hungry to go back and win gold,” Walsh Jennings said of that first experience.

At discouraging points in her volleyball career, when Walsh Jennings was tempted to give up, it was her mom who would help her refocus — just by giving

O

ver the weekend, on a spur-of-the-moment trip to McCall, my boyfriend and I stopped by our old church campground on a beautiful piece of wooded property along Payette Lake.

I had not seen this place, “Victory Cove,” for at least 15 years. As my eyes took in the brown cabins with green roofs, the chapel with a big cross on the front, the old dining hall, the snack shack, the outdoor amphitheater, the docks on the lake, I was struck by two things: How much smaller this place looked now, and how sad I was by Holly Beech hbeech@mymeridianpress.com that those days were over.

Most of the cabins and buildings were © 2016 MERIDIAN PRESS locked, but we found one cabin, Cabin 13, that was open. Perfect. This was the cabin where my boyfriend’s family stayed every year for family camp.

Each year, campers would leave their mark with a Sharpie. Names and messages in all styles and colors lined the cabin’s walls, bunks and ceiling.

Using our cellphone flashlights, we hunted for names we recognized and shouted out to each other with excitement each time we found a familiar one.

“Zach Beech is the man!” read an inscription in my brother’s handwriting. Another year’s message was, “Zach Beech is cool.” He wanted to make sure everyone knew it.

There was some cabin rivalry: “Cabin 13 rocks.”

“You are stupid Cabin 12.”

Some nice messages: “Holly B. is my best friend.” (I wish I could say this was about me, but, alas, I’m pretty sure it’s about a different Holly B.) I found the names of family, friends and college acquaintances, many dating back 20 years (crazy!). At any moment we expected someone to come kick us out, but we were left alone in peace.

My boyfriend, Jake, found his name and his family members’ names, each one bringing back memories. He said as a kid, he would sit in the window and watch the baptism ceremonies that took place in the nearby lake.

Our families didn’t really know each other back then, but Jake’s name and Zach’s name were signed right next to each other, at separate times.

I thought back to my days as a camper. My mom sometimes came up as my camp counselor. One year she brought neon nail polish, and my

Victory Cove in McCall is a place of fun memories for many locals who used to go there for church camp. cabin was famous for our bright fingernails. One year I was put in a different cabin than my cousin/best friend, and on that first tearful day of camp it felt like my life was over.

When I was a camper, the chapel seemed like a mile away from the dining hall, and the amphitheater felt like it was way up in the woods.

Now as an adult, everything looked so close together.

The sides of the cabins were peeling off. The dining hall’s cement deck, in a gorgeous spot right along the lake, had cracked and was falling apart. I ached thinking of this magical place growing old without kids and families there to love it like we had. I ached thinking of myself getting farther and farther away from a childhood that I loved.

We soaked in the memories before venturing off to go mountain biking. Some of the bittersweet nostalgia stayed with me as we explored the wooded trails and labored to a peak that overlooked the lake.

As we drove back home, leaving the mountains behind to return to a world lined with pavement and stucco, I marveled at nature’s pull on us.

“The things we create to make our lives better, we have to escape from to what was already there,” I said, thinking of how we leave behind our gray roads and offices and retreat to the vibrant blues and greens of the mountains. There’s something powerful about just being outside, not seeing the world from behind a screen or having all your usual comforts and distractions at your disposal.

I hope you get to have some fun adventures this summer. Enjoy the memories of old traditions and go make new ones.

TRENDING 3 Five of six stolen Vietnam Memorial medallions recovered



Boise Police apprehended a man who they say was in possession of three bags of methamphetamine and five of the six medallions stolen from the new Vietnam Veterans Memorial at Veterans Memorial Park.

Officers arrested Boise resident Raymond Rubalcaba, 29, after a relative of his called police to say Rubalcaba had given him a medallion he suspected was one of the stolen ones. Rubalcaba has been arrested on felony charges of grand theft and possession of a controlled substance.

Police are still requesting help from the public in locating the sixth medallion, which has the words “Republic of Vietnam Service” on it.

Hundreds of people had attended the memorial’s dedication ceremony on May 30. The monument includes the names of 217 Idaho residents who died in Vietnam between 1961 and 1975.

The Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter 1025 — based in Meridian — raised $117,000 for the monument, which is made of the same India Black Granite used for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C., chapter Vice President JD Poss said.

Idaho Democrats consider switching to primary system



Idaho Democrats are considering abandoning their presidential caucus in favor of a primary.

The Idaho Statesman reported that delegates on Saturday approved a resolution endorsing the switch at the party’s state convention and instructed the state committee to explore options for a selection process on par with a primary.

The move toward an election format change comes after huge turnout at the party’s March caucus caused significant delays and other logistical problems. More than 9,000 people came to the Ada County venue and after up to two-hour delays to enter the caucus, hundreds of people left without casting a vote.

Idaho Republicans switched to a primary format this year after pushing through the Legislature a move to hold a stand-alone presidential primary in March.

Tri Counties woman crowned Miss Idaho



Kylee Solberg, Miss Tri Counties, was crowned Miss Idaho 2016 on Saturday at the Nampa Civic Center.

Solberg competed with 21 other women from around the state, according to a press release. Canyon County residents Nina Forest, Miss Nampa, and Miss Canyon County Hannah Menzner were named as runners-up.

Solberg will compete at Miss America on Sept. 11 in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

As Miss Meridian 2015, Solberg was first runner-up in the 2015 Miss Idaho Pageant. She was crowned Miss National Sweetheart that year.

As Miss Idaho 2016, Solberg said she will bring awareness to online bullying with her platform, “Our Words have Power.” Solberg was inspired by a story of a young girl from her home town who was bullied.

She wrote a letter to the young girl, empowering her to look beyond the mean words and letting her know her life does have worth.

St. Ignatius Catholic School, set to open in August 2017 by the Holy Apostles Catholic Church in Meridian, will be 56,000 square feet.

St. Ignatius Catholic School to open in Meridian

T

he Treasure Valley’s first new Catholic school in 50 years is opening in Meridian next summer.

The St. Ignatius Catholic School will be located next to the Holy Apostles Catholic Church by the intersection of Meridian Road and Chinden Boulevard in northwest Meridian.

At full capacity, St. Ignatius will have an enrollment of 470 students in prekindergarten through eighth grade, the largest Catholic school for that age range in the Valley. Annual enrollment will be $4,000 for registered parishioners and $5,000 for those who are not registered, according to Karen Mahoney, chairwoman of the St. Ignatius school committee.

The community and the Holy Apostles parish — the largest parish in Idaho with 2,900 registered families — have raised most of the funds needed for the nearly $10.6 million project, Mahoney said.

“The people have been gen-

erous. We’ve raised over $9 million,” she said. “It’s all through donations of parishioners and the community that this is being built.”

ABOUT ST. IGNATIUS The St. Ignatius school will follow a Jesuit education model with four pillars: academics, service, community and social justice.

“A lot of the Jesuit model is they are taught to see God in all things,” Mahoney said. “In people that they encounter, they are looking for God in that person, and they’re treating them that way.”

A ceremonial groundbreaking takes place at 3:30 p.m. Saturday, and construction will begin in mid-July.

Brittany Brady of Boise, a mother of four, has been eagerly awaiting the school’s opening for years. Her oldest will be in third grade when the school opens in August 2017.

“Having St. Ignatius is a chance for our students to be educated mind, body and spirit, where they can go to school and have a rigorous academic experience but also learn a lot of character traits that are important to our family,” she said. “Having a strong sense of community is important to me.”

Brady is also pleased that St. Ignatius has brought on Andi Kane as principal, formerly an assistant principal of St. Aloysius Gonzaga Catholic School.

“She cares about every student individually and wants to help each of those students find themselves and be the best version of themselves,” Brady said. “So even though it’s expensive, I don’t know if you can really put a price tag on that.”

The name St. Ignatius was chosen in part to pay tribute to the Valley’s large Basque population, Mahoney said. St. Ignatius was born in a Basque province of Spain in 1491. He came to emphasize the importance of education, even delaying becoming a priest “for more than 12 years to undergo the drudgery of the classroom at an age when most men have long since finished their train-

ing,” according to the Encyclopedia Britannica.

A ‘RESURGENCE’ OF ENROLLMENT The Treasure Valley’s five — soon to be six — Catholic schools feed into one high school, Bishop Kelly High School. With growing demand, Bishop Kelly is looking to grow by 200 seats by August 2018 to have a total enrollment of about 1,000 students, said Jim Reed, the superintendent of Catholic schools in Idaho.

“It’s very apparent that their freshman class is going to be huge, and it is already. They (will) have a waiting list,” he said.

About 16 percent of Idaho’s population is Catholic, Reed said.

In the late 1960s, the state had 24 Catholic elementary schools and three high schools. That’s now down to just 13 elementary schools and one high school be-

But enrollment at Catholic schools is seeing a “resurgence,” he said.

“We’ve gone through ... the trough and are looking at kind of a renaissance of Catholic education in Idaho,” Reed said.

Dog of the Week Triton is king of the doggie pool and happiest when digging for his drinking water. This 80-pound German Shepherd is a soulful, quiet boy.

King Triton walks well on his leash, has good manners and is an easygoing 2-year-old boy, until he is in the water, where he just springs in to action. Typical of the breed, he does not like to be left alone or confined, so he would be best in a home with someone breed knowledgeable and around often to help him settle into his new environment.

If you are interested in meeting Triton, visit the Meridian Valley Humane Society at 191 N. Linder Road in Meridian or call 794-0944.

City approves Ten Mile urban renewal district Approval ‘accelerates’ developer’s plans, draws interest from tenants

T

he Meridian City Council approved the city’s second urban renewal district on Tuesday, which covers 301 acres of farmland along North Ten Mile Road, just north of the freeway.

The new district is different from the downtown district in that it aims to spur economic development rather than revitalize a blighted area. Urban renewal revenue will reimburse developers for building public infrastructure such as major roads, street lights and traffic signals.

“(It) accelerates our plans, allows us to do bigger and better things,” Brighton Corporation CEO David Turnbull said. Because the district was approved, Brighton plans to start construction in August to move its headquarters from Boise to Meridian, Turnbull said. As the urban renewal plan has formed over the past several months, Turnbull said he’s seen “significant interest” among prospective tenants.

AmeriBen also plans to move into a new 79,600-square-foot building on the site, according to an application filed with the city.

Some homeowners in the district expressed concern about living in an urban renewal district because urban renewal is typically associated with slum and blight. Consultant Phil Kushlan, who helped write the Ten Mile ur-

“The intent and the purpose ... is to create jobs,” Meridian Mayor Tammy de Weerd said.

Kushlan expects urban renewal to attract higher quality developments and lead to much higher property values than what would have existed without these incentives.

FINANCIAL IMPACT During the life of the district — a maximum of 20 years — some property tax revenue that would normally go to the city and to the

Over a 20-year period, the urban renewal district is expected to generate $48 million in property tax revenue, but the city hopes to retire the district in just 16 years.

Kushlan expects developers to build $23.4 million of public infrastructure in the district, which will be reimbursed by urban renewal funds.

The West Ada School District is exempt from urban renewal, and its property tax revenue will not be affected.

Councilman Ty Palmer said that although he’s often been opposed to the creation of the district, he has spoken to the area’s property owners and is “satisfied with their ability to move forward and provide us with an amazing project.”

other 10 taxing entities in that area will instead go to the Meridian Development Corporation, the urban renewal agency.

The city and the other taxing entities will continue to collect taxes on the “base” value of the district, which is set by this year’s taxable property value of $38.4 million, according to city staff.

(When the properties lose their agricultural tax exemption, however, that value will go up, Kushlan said.)

Taxes on any increased property values during the district’s lifetime will go to the Meridian Development Corporation to be used for urban renewal projects.

bridge maintenance project started Monday in seven locations across the Treasure Valley and is expected to continue through September.

Crews will begin the survey and preparation work for each bridge, and resurfacing and other routine maintenance will be conducted the following week, according to a news release from the Idaho

Transportation Department. Five of the bridges are on Interstate 84.

“The initial survey work is expected to take about a week and should not have an impact on drivers,” District 3 Project Engineer Dana Weiss said in the release. “Once maintenance construction begins, there will be nighttime lane restrictions, flagging, speed limit reductions and other traffic impacts at each

bridge throughout the summer.”

Drivers can expect to see construction crews and heavy equipment at the seven bridges located at: n I-84 Vista Avenue interchange, Boise n I-84 Orchard Street interchange, Boise n I-84 Garrity Boulevard interchange, Nampa n I-84 Robinson Road overpass, Ada County/Meridian area

n I-84 Black Cat Road overpass, Ada County/Meridian area n Dry Creek bridge, on State Highway 44 west of Eagle Road n Glenwood Street bridge (on State Highway 44 over the Boise River) The bridge work is funded through new user fees.

on the town Meridian Independence Day Festival Meridian celebrates 87 years of Dairy Days to feature live music, racing, fireworks

T

M

eridian Dairy Days has celebrated the dairy industry in Meridian for the past 87 years. Though much has changed in Meridian over the past nine decades, the passion behind Dairy Days stays strong.

The almost week-long event features the crowning of a Dairy Princess, a parade, an arts festival, fireworks, live music, volleyball tournaments, food vendors, amusement rides and livestock showings.

This year, the Meridian Lions PRCA Rodeo, formerly held in September, has moved to June 25-26 as a fun addition to the Dairy Days festivities.

The 68th Annual Meridian Dairy Days Princess Pageant was held Monday at the Club at Spurwing in Meridian. Kaitlyn Steppe was crowned Senior Princess, and Annie Jansen van Beek was crowned Junior Princess.

The “Real Dairy” Parade is at 6:45 p.m. today on new parade route.

he city of Meridian and the Meridian Speedway have partnered to present the annual Independence Day Festival in celebration of the nation’s free-

dom.

The festival features inflatable toys, food vendors, kids games and live music. The evening culminates with a spectacular fireworks display that is visible throughout the Treasure Valley.

This year attendees will not be allowed to set off fireworks in the Meridian Chamber of Commerce parking lot because of safety concerns.

The Bark Park will remain open during the day but will close a little early at 9 p.m. to secure the fireworks drop zone. Bark Park parking will be limited.

Schedule of Events: n 3 p.m.: Event begins with inflatable toys and food vendors available in Storey Park. Zack Quintana Trio begins live performance in the Storey Park picnic shelter. n 5 p.m.: Soul Patch begins live performance in the Storey Park picnic shelter. n 6:30 p.m.: Meridian Speedway races begin. See the raceway website admission prices and race schedule at meridianspeedway.com. n 7:30 p.m.: Simple Ruckus begins live performance in the Storey Park picnic shelter. n Dark (10:15-10:30 p.m.): Fireworks display — Meridian Press staff

Officials urge residents to be safe, smart about using fireworks Meridian Fire officials are asking residents to use extreme caution when setting off fireworks this Fourth of July. Chief Mark Niemeyer with the Meridian Fire Department says when purchasing fireworks, it’s important to keep in mind that some stands outside of Meridian may sell fireworks that are illegal. Niemeyer suggests that families consider attending an event rather than setting off their own fireworks.

“With the temperatures forecasted to rise and the threat of fire, we are encouraging families to forgo their own fireworks display and attend one of the fireworks shows in the valley,” he stated in a press release.

“Here in Meridian, we have a festival and fireworks display that is perfect for families who want to see a great fireworks show but don’t want to deal with the threat of starting a fire.”

The threat of sparking unintentional fires has spurred the Ada County Commissioners to ban the use of fireworks through Oct. 31 in unincorporated areas of Ada County, which are outside of city limits and outside of a fire protection district.

Find a map of the firework prohibited areas at adacounty.id.gov.

Families may watch a firework show at the Meridian Independence Day Festival and Fireworks event Monday at Storey Park. The event runs

Starts at the Meridian Speedway and goes north along Main Street n Turns east briefly onto Fairview Avenue n Turns south onto East 2 1/2 Street n Turns east briefly onto Carlton Avenue n Turns south on East Third Street n Turns east onto Franklin Road n Turns south onto Stratford Drive n Ends at East Watertower Lane n Roads along the route will be closed roughly from 5 to 9 p.m. n

from 3-10:30 p.m. The Storey Bark Park will close early at 9 p.m. to secure the fireworks drop zone. Due to safety concerns, personal fireworks will no longer be permitted in the Chamber of Commerce parking lot.

FIREWORK SAFETY “A fire resulting in the misuse or illegal use of fireworks could result in the responsible party being financially liable for the first response and any damages,” Niemeyer said. “It is the responsibility of all of us to keep our neighborhoods safe. Please help us in meeting that mission.”

The city has provided the following list of “dos” and “don’ts” that will help ensure you have a safe holiday. n DO purchase your fireworks from a reliable seller. n DO have an adult present to supervise all fireworks activity. n DO inspect fireworks carefully before using. n DO have a fire extinguisher or water nearby when setting off fireworks. n DO ignite fireworks outdoors in a clear area away from buildings, vehicles and shrubbery. n DO shoot fireworks off of a hard paved surface in a wide open area. n DO keep spectators 25 to 100 feet away from the firing site. n DO light fireworks one at a time,

wear eye protection, without your body over the fireworks. n DO step out of the way quickly after lighting fireworks. n DO dispose of fireworks properly, by dousing them in water immediately. n DO store unused fireworks in a cool dry place. n DON’T give fireworks to small children. n DON’T point or throw fireworks at another person. n DON’T hold lit fireworks in your hand. n DON’T carry fireworks in your pocket. n DON’T set off fireworks in a large crowd of people. n DON’T use fireworks by dry grass or flammable materials. n DON’T experiment with homemade fireworks or attempt to make your own fireworks. n DON’T shoot fireworks in metal or glass containers. n DON’T attempt to relight malfunctioning fireworks. n DON’T attempt to fix fireworks that have not gone off or have misfired. n DON’T use fireworks that appear to have gotten wet then dried, or have loose fuses, or appear old or show any other signs of mishandling.

LOCAL NEWS YOUREPORT Meridian middle-schooler continues to give back

After recount, results of Case, Ullman race unchanged

In April, Meridian’s Angelyn Wade, 12, organized a team for Boise’s first Cause + Event 5K fun run. The event sold out and brought in more than $7,800 for 40 different nonprofits. Of that, $1,010 went to the nonprofit that Wade and many of her teammates were running for — Camp Rainbow Gold, which serves pediatric cancer patients and their families.

Wade, a Heritage Middle School student, has made it a tradition to raise money for a good cause as part of her birthday celebration each year.

She celebrated her 12th birthday last month chopping off 13 inches of hair to donate to Wigs For Kids and by being baptized at Ten Mile Christian the Sunday before.

M

ore than 150 students from Music Center Studios spent the month of May Practicing for Pledges to raise money to purchase instruments for children in foster care. Students’ practice hours were spent learning songs they performed at the “Music is Our Super Power” concert at Kleiner Memorial Park bandshell on June 18.

Students raised over $1,500 through their practicing efforts, which was used to purchase a combination of keyboards and guitars for children in foster care. Music Center Studios will then provide

tuition-free lessons to those children, a donation valued at about $4,800.

With 10 pianos on the stage, the concert presented a unique experience for the performers and audience to hear 20 hands all playing at once. Guitar and voice students also performed in large groups. A wide range of ages and levels participated, from preschoolers through adults.

“Music is Our Super Power” proved to be a fun and meaningful theme for the event. All the songs performed at the concert were well-known and loved super hero themes with energetic and driving rhythms and melodies that

the students have enjoyed learning. The theme also served as a powerful message to help the students think about how they can use their musical skills to be musical super heroes for someone else.

Music Center Studios is a local music school on Fairview Avenue, just east of Eagle Road, offering lessons in piano, guitar, voice and Kindermusik classes.

Its goal is to educate, encourage and inspire students of all ages and levels.

In addition to weekly lessons, students participate in recitals, NFMC Festival, summer camps and community events.

3230 N. Eagle Road, Meridian, ID 83646 208-375-1212 Budgetblinds.com/boise • quent@budgetblinds.com

Where did you grow up? How long have you lived in the area? Tell us about your family.

I grew up in SLC, Utah. My wife Andrea is from Boise. We have lived in Eagle for 14 years. We have 4 kids…our oldest son Lewis goes to Eagle High, our oldest daughter Helen will is at Eagle Middle School, our daughter Annie and Clark are at Galileo.

Our kids names are all family names; in searching for names for our youngest we really liked Clark. After thinking about it for a few weeks it finally came to us that we would have a Lewis and Clark; perfect names for brothers growing up in Idaho!

Tell us about the events that led up to where you are now (i.e. education, career path).

I graduated from BYU in accounting and worked as a government auditor. Working as an auditor I was not the most popular person; I wanted to find a new position that people enjoyed working with me!

What is your business and how/why did you start your business?

We own Budget Blinds & Inspired Drapes of Boise. We were living in Utah and wanted to move to Idaho to be near my wife’s family. After looking for a job for several months I came across a business opportunity for Budget Blinds. I knew nothing about blinds but it looked like a great opportunity. With the amazing support from our corporate office and outstanding vendors it has been an unbelievable experience and given us so much more than we ever imagined.

What is unique about your business (what sets you apart from the rest)?

Budget Blinds & Inspired Drapes is the world’s largest custom window covering business. With over 1,000 franchises and over $350 million in annual sales we are the IT in window coverings. We are the best of both worlds; locally owned and operated but have the support of a national organization. Being

the biggest and best we have exclusive products, upgrades, and the industries best warranty – we have replaced blinds “no questions asked” for crazy things including dogs chewing on blinds and kids taking crayons to them. One of our favorite NQA warranties was for someone that used their vertical blind for target practice!

Given your business expertise and the nature of what you do, what advice (whether general or specific) can you offer to the residents?

Window coverings are generally one of the largest elements in a room and can make a huge impact on the design and feel of the room. Additionally quality window coverings can make a room more comfortable by reducing heat, cold and glare. We strive to help customers find the perfect window coverings to meet all of their style, function and budget needs.

Our amazing Style Consultants are true experts in all things window coverings and help our customers in finding their perfect window coverings. We are also excited to now offer area rugs and runners enabling us to truly tie the windows together with the whole room.

Our goal is to have customers LOVE their window coverings.

Sometimes things do not go as planned and whatever the issue is whether it is our mistake, a vendor error, or just the customer not fully loving their window coverings we work to resolve any issue.

What else we should know about you, your family, or your business?

Budget Blinds & Inspired Drapes of Boise is one of the top Budget Blinds franchises in the country; we are repeatedly asked how we are consistently ranked among the top areas.

Our answer is always our amazing customers. We are honored to work with amazing people in beautiful homes that value our quality and service.
