Ethics Blog + Private Cheese + Embarrassed Idahoans

Morning, neighbors! John Braese here with the latest issue of the Boise Daily.

Welcome to a busy Monday from the Boise Daily. The Boise Police are asking for the public's assistance in finding a 13-year-old endangered female. The Statehouse was unusually busy for the summer as an ethics hearing is taking place. Gourmet cheese is available, but only for a closed group of cheese lovers. We have a list of Idahoans most would love to forget, and there are fish, a huge amount of fish, ready to be caught out there.

First, today's weather: Clear throughout the day. High: 99, low: 71.

Here are the top stories today in Boise:

1. The Boise Police are asking for the public to keep eyes out for a missing, endangered teen who was last seen Saturday. Staff of KTVB have a picture and description of the teen with the story. (KTVB.com)
2. Scott Logan and KBCI-TV spent Monday providing a live blog from the ethics hearing on Rep. Priscilla Giddings. Giddings has denied all accusations against her, including conduct unbecoming a state representative. The hearings are scheduled for two days. (IdahoNews)
3. If you are a lover of gourmet cheeses, make friends with an employee of Nampa's Lactalis American Group, according to a story written by BoiseDev's Don Day. The cheesemaker recently opened a new in-house cheese shop, open to employees only. (BoiseDev)
4. Idaho and Boise appears weekly on "Best of..." lists. The capital city is an outdoor playground for many, an emerging tech center and a litany of other positives. Mallory and LITE-FM look at the other side of the coin and created a list of "Idahoans Who Embarrassed The Entire State By Making National Headlines." Look back at some times when we just covered our faces and hoped the story was short lived. (liteonline)
5. Grab the poles and worms, 90,000 fish released in August around Idaho are waiting to be your next barbecue menu. (Boise Patch)
