‘THE TOUGHEST SPORT OUT THERE’ Ben Buckels goes from football player to Boise State cheerleader

Otto Kitsinger/For the MP

Former Cole Valley Christian football player Ben Buckels has tried his hand — and excelled — at a new sport: cheerleading. The incoming Boise State University freshman is one of just five males on the cheer squad.

his time last year Ben Buckels was participating in summer drills for the Cole Valley Christian football team. While he is still partaking in drills this summer, they are of a dissimilar variety, and for a different sport entirely. One that many, including himself, wouldn’t have ever expected — cheerleading. “I never thought to get involved,” Buckels said. “I never had any friends on the cheer team. All my friends were on the baseball and football teams.” by Brandon Walton

After graduating in May, Buckels was contemplating what he should do next. He knew he was going to attend Boise State University, a school he had fallen in love with since he moved from Glendale, California, five years ago, but he didn’t know what he was going to do there. Buckels wanted to be more than just a student. He wanted to be involved in an activity to fully ingrain himself at Boise State. And with football out of the question, because, by his own admission, he wasn’t good enough to play for the Broncos, he needed something else. While sitting down and discussing his options with his parents, the idea of him going out for the cheerleading team came to light. “It was a suggestion my mom made,” Buckels said. “I had always been really involved in pep rallies in high school and stuff. My friends and I would put on funny costumes to get the crowd going. We went to all the games and would start the chants and stuff. My mom told me I was pretty good at that and that I should try that.” With the decision made, Buckels sent an email to Tobruk Blaine, the coach and program director for the Boise State spirit squad, to see what it took to become a member of the team. Blaine informed him of two voluntary camps for prospective members to

Buckels

attend before the actual tryouts themselves. Having never done cheerleading a day in his life and not knowing what a simple back tuck was, Buckels attended both camps, which turned out to be an interesting experience. “They would call me over and tell me to do such and such, and because I didn’t know any of the terms or anything, I would be like, I don’t know what that is,” Buckels laughed. “They would have to show me what to do and I would do it.” Now armed with an idea of what he needed to do to make the team, Buckels attended the tryouts, which took place April 29 through May 1. As each day passed, to his surprise, Buckels’ name kept making the list of people who were invited back the next day, until the final day, when he learned after three grueling days of tryouts that his goal had actually come true. “I was shocked,” Buckels said. “I couldn’t believe starting this a month and a half ago that I made the team. I was super relieved too.” With the news he had made the team, Buckels went about telling all his family and friends of his achievement.

A look into the Pokemon Go craze in Meridian connect hbeech@mymeridianpress.com Phone: 208-465-8122 Twitter: @HollyBeechMP

s I walked out of the Meridian City Council meeting on Tuesday, I saw two guys sitting on a park bench outside City Hall ferociously tapping their phones. I myself haven’t gotten into the Pokemon Go trend, but I knew right away that’s what they were playing. Not wanting to interrupt any intense battles, but curious about why they’re drawn to the game, I approached them. Isaiah Haney, a 19-year-old from Meridian who is a cook at Big Al’s, said by Holly Beech Pokemon was one of the first games he owned as a kid on his Nintendo Game hbeech@mymeridianpress.com © 2016 MERIDIAN PRESS Boy Color. His fellow Big Al’s cook and Pokemon enthusiast Ryan Davenport agreed. He started playing Pokemon around age 5. WATCH ONLINE “I like it for the nostalgia it gives me, n Find a video of Isaiah Haney and it’s just a little motivational push to and Ryan Davenport explaining get you to go outside and walk around,” why they love Pokemon Go at Davenport said. The two spend hours — even some- mymeridianpress.com. times until 3:30 in the morning — walking around capturing virtual critters. At City Hall, they were trying to win a Pokemon Go gym but “failing miserably,” they admitted. The two often play the game with each other or with roommates, and sometimes meet new people on their quests, too. “This guy we didn’t even know talked to us for about 20 minutes,” Davenport said. “I think it’s nice just to be able to get little conversations in.” Pokemon Go turns your entire city — much of the world, really — into a game board, my boyfriend likes to say. I know the new game has gotten a bad rap because people are not always respectful about where they play — such as the Auschwitz Memorial and the Arlington National Cemetery (come on, people) — or careful about it (please don’t play and drive). But after talking with Haney and Davenport, I can see why they’re

Police: Attempted kidnapping appears to be misunderstanding



On Sunday, Boise Police reported that a couple had allegedly tried to kidnap a young girl at Cottonwood Park, which is southwest of Eagle and McMillan roads. After speaking with the man and woman involved, police said it appears there was a misunderstanding. No arrests or charges had been made as of Sunday, according to a police department news release. “Police take all reports of attempted kidnapping seriously and will

Idaho Power eyes state’s first utility-owned solar plant



BOISE (AP) — Idaho Power is looking to build the state’s first utilityowned solar power project. The company recently filed an application with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission seeking approval for its Community Solar Pilot Program. The proposed 500-kilowatt solar array would be built southeast of Boise and power about 1,000 homes and 500 businesses.

The couple, reportedly unknown to the family, allegedly took the 5-year-old girl but was stopped by parents and neighbors. After interviewing the couple, the department issued an update stating that the situation had been a misunderstanding. The company in an announcement last week says it plans to offer subscriptions costing $740 for individual solar panels. Buyers would receive credit for their portion of the solar array’s output on their monthly bill. Most of the $1.2 million cost would be paid by subscribers. The company says its customers in southern Idaho and eastern Oregon who don’t participate will have no additional expense. Idaho Power says the project could be finished by June if approved.

‘Bourne’ star Damon charms Meridian moviegoers, angers pro-gun advocates

reasure Valley moviegoers were among the first worldwide to see the new “Jason Bourne” film on Wednesday, but what sweetened the deal was the chance to see Matt Damon in person at Village Cinema in Meridian. Damon, the star of the “Bourne” series, and series producer Frank Marshall visited Meridian to raise money for the Treasure Valley YMCA. Marshall has Boise ties and a history of supporting the local Y. “This is a big deal for our community, for the Treasure Valley, putting the spotlight on families and children,” Meridian Mayor Tammy de Weerd said.

It’s been 16 years since Matt Damon, now 45, was first approached about doing the Bourne series, and 14 years since the first movie came out. “Getting back into it was really...easy. It was a really great shoot,” Damon told the Meridian crowd. “The only hard part was the getting in shape. That was, um, you know, I’m not 29 anymore.” “You still look great!” a woman called out. Damon said if the opportunity arose to star in the fifth “Bourne” film in the future, he’d be all for it. And Marshall assured the crowd that if that happens, “We’ll be here with No. 5.” The event sold out, packing four theaters with an estimated 1,200 ticket holders. The proceeds

will support the Y’s construction of a south Meridian facility, which will be attached to the new Hillsdale Elementary school, a city park, a St. Luke’s health center and potentially a Meridian Library branch. “How awesome is that going to be?” Treasure Valley YMCA CEO David Duro said. “It’s going to be powerful what we can do for this community.” The Y has raised $15.4 million of the $18.5 million needed for the first phase of the new facility

and hopes to break ground this fall and open in 2017, Duro said. Hillsdale Elementary opens in August. Marty Hill, who donated 15 acres of his family’s farmland for the project, joked to the crowd: “What kind of guy would donate 15 acres just so his woman can see Matt Damon?”

py with the actor, who recently told an Australian newspaper that he wishes the U.S. would pass sensible gun laws like Australia’s. The Idaho Second Amendment Alliance, led by President Greg Pruett, organized a protest during Damon’s visit, which drew in a few dozen people. With a gun tucked in her jeans, demonstrator Christy Zito of PRO-GUN DEMONSTRATION Mountain Home said she carries While Damon charmed ticket a gun for protection. She and her holders, some locals were unhap- young daughter were once run off

the road by two men, she said, but the men took one look at her gun and left. “What would I have done? There was no way I could overpower two grown men,” Zito said. “And how would I ever explain to my daughter that I wasn’t able to protect and defend her? So that’s why it’s important to me to be able to carry.” Damon made no mention of gun control or of the nearby protest during his appearance.

I was blessed to have coaches that had a tremendously positive impact on my life. I want to help provide student-athletes what was given to me in my collegiate swimming career.

Moroni statute installed on Meridian temple A statue of the angel Moroni was installed atop the new Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints temple in Meridian on Wednesday. Temple construction started in August 2014 and is expected to be complete by mid- to late 2017. “Today marks a significant milestone for the construction of the Meridian, Idaho, temple,” Church spokesman Brian Whitlock said. “The exterior construction is largely completed now.”

by Holly Beech

People gathered along North Linder Road, just north of the Chinden Boulevard intersection, to watch the installation of the gold-leaf-plated statue, which is 13-and-a-half feet tall and weighs more than 600 pounds. The temple, the fifth in Idaho, will serve the LDS Church’s growing membership in Meridian and toward the west, though its district boundaries have not yet been announced. With almost 66,000 square feet, the building is about twice the size of the Boise temple, Whitlock said, which was built in 1984. Once finished, the landscaping outside the Meridian temple will create a peaceful atmosphere that the public is welcome to come enjoy, Whitlock said. Also on site is a new meetinghouse for Sunday services and other events. Temples, not made for large gatherings or Sunday worship, are filled with small meeting rooms for teaching and sacred ceremonies, including marriages and baptisms. Micah and Emily Massey of Caldwell, who visit the Boise temple about three times a month, brought their young children to

Crews from Jacobsen Construction installed a statue of the angel Moroni atop the new Mormon temple in Meridian Wednesday, marking one of the last exterior projects. Temple construction began in August 2014 and is expected to take about three years. the Meridian site on Wednesday to watch the statue’s placement. “It’s been neat to see the progress of it, and especially to have it here in Meridian,” Emily Massey said. The event was not publicized because of a lack of parking in the construction zone, but some families — such as the Masseys, who are related to the construction superintendent — were able

to go on site. The Moroni statue is a common feature of Mormon temples, and it also serves as a lightning rod, Whitlock said. According to the LDS Church’s official website, Moroni is the last Nephite prophet who wrote the final book of the Book of Mormon. The statues often depict the angel Moroni blowing a trumpet, symbolizing the spreading of the gospel.

att Huff had no plans of jumping in a pool the day of his children’s triathlon in Meridian’s Tuscany neighborhood last month. But when he noticed a young competitor struggling to keep his head above water in the swimming pool, Huff didn’t think twice. He scaled the 8-foot pool fence, jumped in the water and rescued 6-yearold Taeton Sherwood. The city of Meridian honored Huff by giving him the Hometown Hero Award on Tuesday night during the Meridian City Council meeting. Huff, surrounded by his wife and four young children, along with Sherwood and his family, accepted the award with gratitude, humility and a few tears. “I’m just grateful that he’s OK,” Huff said. “I’m sure that there was many more people right behind me, and I just happened to be the first one in the pool, and I feel like God helped me that day to be alert and aware and in the right position to help him.” The triathlon, called the Tuscany Triple, took place on June 21. Other adults were by the pool, Huff said, but had not seen Sherwood struggling to swim or heard Huff yelling. After the rescue, Sherwood’s mom, aunt and grandpa embraced and thanked Huff — a moment Huff said he’ll remember and cherish forever. The two families only knew each other through Huff’s work as an Allstate insurance agent in Meridian. “This really exemplifies what this community is about and the people that live here, looking out for one another in this type of a situation,” Meridian Fire Chief Mark Niemeyer said. Sherwood did not need CPR after being pulled from the pool. He still swims today, he said. The Hometown Hero Award is given to Meridian residents who perform selfless acts of heroism, going above and beyond their normal responsibilities without regard for attention or personal gain, according to the award announcement.

Local restaurant pays to replace stolen Vietnam War memorial medallions

fter medallions were stolen from the new Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Boise last month, the community responded with amazing support and generosity, veteran JD Poss said. Capitol Cellars, a Boise restaurant owned by former Idaho Sen. Melinda Smyser and her husband, Skip, paid the full cost to replace the six medallions — an expense in the ballpark of a couple thousand dollars, said Poss, the vice president of the Meridian-based Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter 1025. About 10 other people also offered to pitch in, he said.

by Holly Beech

Over the past two years, the chapter had raised $117,000 to install the granite monument at Veterans Memorial Park, which did not yet have a Vietnam memorial. The new monument was unveiled on May 30 — Memorial Day — and the medallions were stolen three weeks later. “I was really upset that somebody would desecrate a war memorial like that,” Poss said. Five of the medallions represent the branches of the military, and one pays tribute to those who served in Vietnam. In June, Boise Police recovered all but one medallion and arrested suspect Raymond Rubalcaba of Boise on drug and theft charges. His next court appearance is set for Aug. 16. The medallions were too damaged to be used again, Poss said. Touched by the community’s support following the vandal-

Poss served in the U.S. Army in Vietnam for 14 months, returning home in 1970. He wanted to help bring a Vietnam memorial to the Idaho capital, he said, to honor veterans’ and remind the community of their sacrifices. The Boise memorial was carved out of the same India Black Granite used for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Poss will visit the D.C. memorial for the first time in September. “I just didn’t want to deal with

Melinda Smyser spoke at the Boise monument’s dedication in May, and she and her husband were outraged to learn it had been vandalized, their daughter, Logan Smyser, said in an email. “As a veteran they were both very moved by the dedication and all of those who worked so hard to put it together,” said Logan Smyser, the director of operations at Capitol Cellars. “...

LOCAL NEWS Former Cole Valley Christian football player Ben Buckels has tried his hand — and excelled — at a new sport: cheerleading. The incoming Boise State University freshman is one of just five males on the cheer squad. Otto Kitsinger/For the MP

Buckels Continued from page 1

“They were freaking out because they didn’t believe it,” Buckels said. “It was probably the coolest thing I’ve ever done so far.”

While most were supportive, he admits he did hear some negative comments about him becoming a cheerleader. But he never gave any of those remarks any thought, and instead, had this to say about the people giving him a hard time:

“I get to be with some of the most gorgeous girls around, what’s so bad about that?” Buckels said. In fact, he took it one step further to the people who may not consider cheerleading an actual sport. “Doing five years of football, I thought football

was the toughest sport out there, but definitely not. Cheerleading is definitely the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” Buckels said. “You have to be just an allaround athlete. You have to have a lot of cardio because you’re flipping, jumping, throwing girls, all while still having a smile on your face and yelling to get the crowd going. You also have to be super strong because you’re lifting girls up and you’re doing things like group stunting where you lift one girl up with three other people.” His workouts certainly seem to validate his point. According to Buckels, the team’s workout regimen includes running sprints

and doing a bevy of push ups, in addition to tumbling and stunting drills. “I’ve used muscles that I’ve never used before,” Buckels said. Buckels is now one of just 24 people to be on this year’s cheer squad, and one of only five males out of 62 total people who tried out. “The reason he was selected was because he picked things up very quickly, like the terminology, within one session,” Blaine said. “The way he presented himself was amazing, and he showed me what it takes to be the face of our program.” Something that also surely helped Buckels make the team was Pilates, a hob-

A home nears completion in Meridian.

Ada County home prices surpass 2006 levels to reach record high

da County home prices hit a record high in June, surpassing even 2006 levels, according to a press release from the Boise Regional Realtors group. The median sale price in June was $239,000, up 10 percent from June a year ago. A rise in consumer demand and a drop in available inventory is pushing up prices, Boise Regional Realtors President Carey Farmer said. In June, pending sales for existing homes were up

almost 20 percent over last year, while inventory was down 23 percent, according to the release. New home prices are down, however — not for a lack of demand, but because more homes are being built in the $300,000-orless price range and are selling quickly, Boise Regional Realtors CEO Breanna Vanstrom said. From June 2015 to June 2016, sales of new homes priced under $300,000 jumped by 71 percent. The Realtor group does not believe the housing market is headed toward

another bubble because today’s lending environment is more regulated and the economy is stronger, according to the press release. Instead, the group states, population growth is what’s driving consumer demand, as new residents move to the Treasure Valley and the large Millennial generation ages. Mortgage rates continue to be low, according to the release. June’s mortgage rate of 3.57 percent was down 10 percent from the previous year. — Meridian Press staff

More than 100 kids at the Boys and Girls Clubs of Ada County are learning how to code on computers this summer through a free Khan Academy program.

Boys and Girls Club members: The next generation of coders

future employers have been pushing to integrate the developer’s languages — JavaScript, HTML, CSS — as early as grade school to give kids a head start. “Boys & Girls Clubs summer and afterschool programs are the perfect place for kids to explore technology in a fun and non-threatening way,” stated Kevin Garrett, technology director of the Clubs in Ada County. “We do not grade the kids or compare them to one another — we encourage them. The kids love it. In fact, Khan Academy’s program has been so successful, we plan to continue Summer of Code well beyond the summer.” Khan Academy and CodeWorks visited the Moseley Center in Ada County on July 15, where they interacted with the kids and helped them create new animations. Each participant was given a certificate and a prize as a way of honoring his or her dedication to computer programming. After witnessing the success of the Summer of Code in Idaho, Khan Academy plans to visit Boys & Girls Clubs in several other states to encourage everyone to learn how to code. — Submitted by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Ada County

The program, Summer of Code, is a free program provided by Khan Academy and aims to teach kids the fundamentals of computer programming. With the help of a coach, the participants will begin by using a JavaScript program that teaches them how to create fun drawings and animations. The Summer of Code program uses basic tutorials on the computer that allow kids with no prior experience in programming the ability to learn at a comfortable pace. “Summer of Code provides kids a fun introduction to coding,” stated Colleen Braga, executive director of the Clubs. “Many of our members are interested in learning because they want to create their own video games. What we hope they will figure out is that it could also lead to a very lucrative career path.” With the burgeoning programming job market, code literacy has become an increasingly popular part of higher education curriculum.

ourteen Meridian FFA members visited Washington, D.C., for the Washington Leadership Conference from June 27 through July 3. The group joined more than 330 other FFA members at the conference. The students, mostly high school juniors and seniors, broke up into smaller groups to each create a “Living to Serve Plan,” focusing on helping their communities back home. “In our large group meeting, consisting of all the attendees, we did lots of fun, but thought-provoking

activities,” said student Loretta Lacy, the Meridian FFA reporter. “We talked a lot about hunger in our communities and what we can do to help. On the last day of the conference, we made 6,200 macaroni and cheese bags for food shelters around the D.C. area through an organization called Meals for Hope.” Students also spent time touring D.C., visiting places such as the Holocaust Museum, the JFK and Lincoln memorials, the White House, the National Archives — where they saw the Constitution and the

Declaration of Independence — and the U.S. Capitol, where they visited the office of U.S. Sen. Jim Risch, R-Idaho. Meridian students are grateful for contributions from the Meridian FFA Alumni, Ada County Farm Bureau, Meridian Dairy Board, Meridian FFA Chapter, and Dave and Angie Daniels, Lacy said.
