Youth rally inspires acceptance
BOISE – Several celebritiesˇhosted the first-ever Global Youth Rally that addressed the need for acceptance and inclusion Monday.
Youth with and without intellectual disabilities, and even parents and teachers, were inspired and motivated at the event, one of many inspired by the 2009 Special Olympics World Winter Games.
The youth rally was a fast-paced, multi-media event with a strong call to action designed for students to take back to their home communities and schools. The rally was streamed live on Special Olympics Web sites so students could participate via school assemblies or classrooms worldwide.
Police clear Boise Towne Square Mall
BOISE – Shortly before midnight Monday, Feb. 9, Boise police bomb technicians wrapped up an investigation into five “suspicious devices” found at the Boise Towne Square Mall.
Officers said all the devices, all similar in appearance, were hoaxes. The devices were apparently meant to look like viable explosive devices. Police did not describe the devises to the media.
Boise police bomb sniffing dogs made additional rounds in the mall to discover if any further devices were in the mall.
Now that the mall area has been deemed safe, Boise Police detectives are also beginning their investigation into who may have put the devices in the popular shopping area, causing an evacuation of aboutˇ2,000 people.
