Boise’s approach to turkey troubles and rat reproach
BOISE — An ordinance passed by Boise City Council in October is serving as the city’s first step in tackling amassing complaints surrounding local pests. For the capital city, the focus has narrowed in on turkeys in northern Boise and invasive rats. The two animals are an unlikely pairing but have presented residents with similar challenges. “Both are sort of infiltrating Boise as pests, right?” Boise City Council Policy Advisor Emily Allen said. “So it was maybe, I don’t want to say luck, but a useful coincidence that by addressing some of these nuisance provisions, we were actually addressing two different types of pests.” A native population of turkeys has been wreaking havoc in the hills. Despite being from the area, the turkeys have become more prominent in neighborhoods and sometimes aggressive. Meanwhile, Idaho’s rat infestation has become a concern for all municipalities across the Treasure Valley. Rat populations are notoriously difficult to control. The common factor between both critters: food. “When we were looking at language in the ordinance, it really honestly had a lot of overlap in terms of what Idaho Fish and Game had told us was something we could address related to turkeys, as well as

This new Meridian restaurant promises ‘approachable prices' and ‘food with an edge'
A growing restaurant chain that offers a vibrant, fast-casual dining experience is headed to Meridian. The concept “all started with a spit,” the chain’s website says. But “not the rude kind.” Serving meats cooked on a vertical rotisserie, Spitz plans to open its first Idaho location at 4836 S. Tavistock Ave. The brand has leased 1,800 square feet in the Century Farm development, according to Summit Commercial Real Estate Group. The restaurant is slated to open in 2027, according to Spitz’s website, which says it’s “coming soon.” Describing the concept as “Mediterranean street food with an edge,” Spitz dishes up gyros, wraps, bowls, salads, wings — even loaded “street cart fries.” “Since 2006,” the Los Angeles-based chain says on its website, “we’ve been fusing the speed and price of fast food with the vibe, quality, and freshness of an upscale neighborhood hangout. Approachable prices. No reservations. No tipping math. Top hospitality. Just walk in, order, and stay as long as you want.” “Döner wraps. Falafel bowls. Handmade sauces you’ll want to drink. Every dish is built from scratch with the freshest ingredients — the way it’s done on the streets of Madrid and Berlin.” A döner wrap, if you’re unfamiliar,

Drivers should expect delays after a crash on Westbound I-184 near Cole Road, according to the Idaho Transportation Department. Its website said all lanes were blocked as of 3:00 p.m., and a traffic camera showed a nearly empty stretch of the Connector heading out from downtown towards the rest of the Treasure Valley. The Boise Police Department posted that its officers were helping Idaho State Police with traffic control after “a two-vehicle crash on outbound I-184 at Fairview,” spokesperson Haley Kramer said. The Westbound Connector is shut down starting near Whitewater Park Boulevard, Kramer said, and police asked that drivers avoid the area.

Boise State moves up in College Football Playoff rankings. See the top 25 here
The College Football Playoff committee released its second set of rankings on Tuesday night, and Boise State remains in the driver’s seat among Group of Six teams vying for a spot in the 12-team playoff. The committee ranked Boise State. No. 24, a one spot rise from last week’s initial ranking of No. 25. The move comes after Boise State produced a 64-38 victory at Colorado State over the weekend with backup quarterback Max Cutforth starting under center. With just under four weeks until the final rankings are revealed, the Broncos currently sit at No. 12 in the bracket and would face No. 5 Notre Dame if the season ended today. The first round of the playoffs is played on-campus, meaning a trip to South Bend, Indiana, could be in the Broncos’ future. Boise State played at Notre Dame in 2025, losing 28-7 to the Fighting Irish. Boise State is included in the 12-team bracket because the highest-ranked team from a Group of Six conference is guaranteed an automatic berth into the playoffs. The G6 conferences are the Mountain West, American, Conference USA, Sun Belt, Mid-American, and Pac-12, the latter of which Boise State competes in. No other G6 team

Undaunted Stewart breaks through for Broncos' run game against Rams
BOISE — Harry Stewart came to Boise State this offseason fully aware that the Bronco football team already had both Dylan Riley and Sire Gaines established at the running back position. The Kansas transfer knew that he was going to have to fight for any time he saw on the field this season. He wouldn’t have it any other way. “It was just seeing what they do to guys, the history of the running backs,” Stewart said about what attracted him to Boise. “Obviously with (Ashton) Jeanty, Jay Ajayi, the history of running backs here, they put guys in the league. And with Si and Dylan, even when I was at Kansas, hearing what they were doing, I knew that development, the coaches that we have here, the staff, the process of being here, I know I have a better chance of getting to the next level, which is what I want to do.” With Gaines out with an injury in last week’s 64-38 win against Colorado State, Stewart had his first big moments for the Broncos in the fourth quarter. The junior running back had nine carries for 89 yards in the final 20 minutes of the game. He
