The Village wins national retail industry awards



This month The Village at Meridian received two silver U.S. MAXI Awards for excellence in marketing, collaboration and achievement within the retail real estate industry. The first of awards was for the October 2013 four-day grand opening. Over 1,200 guests attended the VIP event, 1,100 shoppers stood in near-freezing weather for a 4 a.m. doorbuster and 18,000 guests attended four concerts. The Village received local, national and international publicity, including ABC World News With Diane Sawyer, NBC and CBS. The second award was for the Village’s Job Fair/Job Share program. The Village brought 2,000-plus new jobs to the community and partnered with the Idaho Department of Labor to launch a custom job fair website. All of The Village’s employers participate in the Job Fair, and at least 6,000 jobseekers have been referred to Village businesses.

High school seniors graduate with AA degrees



Eighteen Renaissance High School seniors graduated this month with both a high school diploma and associate of arts degrees in general studies from Idaho State University’s College of Arts and Letters. This is the second year Renaissance seniors have graduated with AA degrees, and this year’s class of duo-graduates is double last year’s class. “They are a great group of students with bright futures ahead of them,” Ali Crane, ISU-Meridian’s enrollment services director, said in a statement. “They have spent the past two years of high school completing both high school and ISU requirements.” Renaissance is located next to ISU-Meridian, allowing students to use ISU classrooms and labs. The students start the associate-degree track during their junior year — many with the intent to complete general education requirements so they can focus on a specific discipline, such as the health sciences, once they enter college.

Idaho ranks No. 20 of bicycle friendly states



Idaho is now the 20th most Bicycle Friendly State, up from number 26 in the 2013 rankings, according to the League of American Bicyclists. Each May for the past seven years the league has released the rankings during National Bike Month. Idaho’s No. 20 ranking was based on a number of key indicators, including infrastructure and funding that provides on-the-ground bicycle facilities; education and encouragement programs that promote cycling; and passage and enforcement of bicycle-friendly laws that make it safe and comfortable for people of all ages to ride. Idaho received 41.1 points out of a possible 100 in 2014. In 2013, Idaho received 34.5 out of 100 points. U.S. Census Bureau findings from 2008 to 2012 show that 3.7 percent of Boise residents bike to work, and 0.3 percent of Meridian residents bike to work.

LOCAL NEWS

Meridian 10th fastest-growing city in U.S. COMPASS: Nampa is I n 1990, Nampa was three times the size of Meridian. Now, the neighboring cities’ populations are neck and neck, and Meridian is only 3,000 residents away from passing up Nampa as Idaho’s second largest city. With a growth rate of 4 percent, Meridian was the 10th fastest growing city in the country from 2012 to 2013, according to a recent U.S. Census Bureau report. The city, which is almost eight times the size it was in 1990, has a population of 83,596. Population growth in itself isn’t something to celebrate or strive for; the reason for growth is what measures success, Meridian City Councilman Joe Borton said. “You see references to the city growing a lot, or ‘third largest,’ ‘fifth largest,’ ‘second largest’ city. That’s nothing necessarily to celebrate, unless it’s a byproduct of delivering ... services the right way, keeping focused on the right thing,” he said. Successful growth, Borton said, is when people choose to live in Meridian because of its safe environment, cultural and economic diversity and recreational opportunities. “The fact that we’ve had such an influx of new residents is just a byproduct of keeping our eye on the prize,” Borton said. Landing on a national top 10 list does have its perks, Meridian economic development administrator Brenda Sherwood said. “It’s getting nationwide attention,” she said. “It’s great from a marketing perspective.” Any spotlight on Meridian draws people’s attention to the investments that are being made in the city. “It’s definitely a lot easier for us to sell our city because of these investments that are going into the city,” Sherwood said. “All we have to do is point at The Village or the Scentsy Campus.” But growth does come with challenges. “(City) staff is just at the extreme right now — we’re platting like crazy,” she said. “So that’s always a big challenge, but also keeping up with infrastructure ... making sure we can meet those time lines for those business and residential developments that are coming in.” What has helped the city keep up , she said, was the conjoining of its building and planning departments last year. “That’s how we really started preparing for this growth,” she said, “so by Holly Beech that we were not silo-ed, and we were hbeech@mymeridianpress.com all working together ... making sure © 2014 MERIDIAN PRESS our process was smooth.” The staff had its hands full in 2013, when Meridian annexed almost 800 acres for new developments. The City Council can influence the rate and type of growth in Meridian by approving or denying annexation and zoning requests, Borton said. “From what I’ve seen with (Meridian), it’s very rare that it’s de-

The Census numbers are different from what COMPASS, the metropolitan planning organization of Ada and Canyon counties, had predicted in March. Population estimates from COMPASS showed Meridian passing Nampa and taking over at No. 2. According to Carl Miller, principal planner in demographics, COMPASS’ estimates showed that happening April 1, 2014, and its official estimates maintain Meridian is Idaho’s second-largest city. “It’s not too surprising that we have different numbers,” he said. According to COMPASS, Meridian’s estimated population is 85,240 and Nampa’s is 84,840 as of April 1. COMPASS uses a different methodology from the U.S. Census, which explains the discrepancy in the numbers, Miller said. COMPASS uses new housing starts from cities and counties and works with local experts in the field including realtors, builders and developers who look at the numbers, Miller said. The numbers are then vetted through a committee. According to COMPASS, the basic premise is that changes in the number of occupied houses reflect changes in the population. It’s the most common method for estimates in small areas, because the data is readily available. The Census uses data on births, deaths and migration to calculate changes in population for its annual estimates. n

Scentsy’s recently completed office tower overlooks the Eagle Road corridor in Meridian, which is experiencing a lot of commercial growth. In 2013, Meridian issued 2,014 building permits, worth a total of $421.9 million, and gained almost 1,400 new residential units, according to the 2014 State of the City Address. nied,” he said. Planning staff vet these requests before they go before the City Council to make sure the city has the infrastructure, amenities and public safety capacity to accommodate it.

WHERE ARE THE YOUNG ADULTS? Meridian is working with consulting firms Pegasus Planning and Development and Plan A Consulting to plan for future economic growth. Their recent report showed that while Meridian is growing, it’s not attracting young adults. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 20- to 24-year-olds made up 7 percent of Idaho’s population from 2008-2012, but only 4.2 percent of Meridian’s population. “We’re a family-oriented community,” Sherwood said. “Our city puts a lot into our parks, we’re in one of the best school districts, and then the developments that are being built are more familyoriented developments. So that’s really who we’ve been targeting.” But one of the city’s current economic development efforts, she said, is making downtown Meridian a place where young entrepreneurs and tech experts can thrive. “We’re looking at how can we make our downtown that next destination for some of that ‘brain trust’ and ‘creative class,’” Sherwood said.

Ranger is a 9-year-old un-neutered shepherd mix who recently came to our rescue with his brother Canelo. Ranger has a great looking brindle coat with some white contrast. He is personable and attentive. Since he’s a senior, he’s slowed down a bit but still has some pep to his step especially when heading outside. It’s reported Ranger is house trained and did keep his kennel clean. He is gentle on leash but wanders a bit and will need to work on his skills. Ranger knows and performs sit, down, stay and come, with or without treats … but he does like treats and takes them gently. Ranger is attentive to his handler and enjoys affection and companionship. It’s reported he’s been around kids of all ages without any issues. Please come by the rescue and meet Ranger today! Applications are being accepted, and a visitation with the dog is encouraged. All applications will be considered and the adoption coordinator will call the person chosen to adopt the dog after the available date.

District is 620 students over capacity

iddle schools in Joint School District No. 2 are collectively 620 students over capacity. Lake Hazel Middle School is the most overcrowded, with 424 more students than the 1,000-student capacity. by Holly Beech To relieve this crowding, the district hopes to build hbeech@mymeridianpress.com the proposed Victory Middle School by 2016, pending voter approval © 2014 MERIDIAN PRESS of a bond this summer. The last time the district built a new middle school was in 2007, when Heritage Middle opened. At that time, the number of middle school students — those in grades sixth through eighth — totaled 7,363. Today, it’s 8,173, an increase of 810 students. This does not include charter schools.

A committee is still working out the details of this summer’s bond request. The district anticipates the bond to be about $80 million. Middle schools cost about $28 million to build, so the rest of the bond would need to be allocated to different projects. The committee will make its recommendation to the Board of Trustees at the June 10 meeting, district spokesman Eric Exline said. The last bond passed in 2005, worth $139.8 million. It was used to build Heritage Middle and an alternative middle school, among other big projects. The district’s current bond debt is $180.6 million, including interest. The vote for the new bond will take place Aug. 26.

Andrus principal transfers to Caldwell, wife of Nampa superintendent fills shoes

ndrus Elementary Principal Scott Johnstone is taking a job in the Vallivue School District as principal of Central Canyon Elementary. Johnstone has been with the district for 14 years, by Holly Beech serving at Andrus hbeech@mymeridianpress.com for the past three. Peggy Ellis, who © 2014 MERIDIAN PRESS is married to Nampa School District’s new superintendent David Peterson, will fill Johnstone’s shoes. She

has more than 30 years of experience in education, including 12 years as a principal. Ellis most recently was the director of elementary teaching and learning for Central Kitsap School District in Washington. “I’m excited because she’s going to bring a lot of experience into this position,” Johnstone said, “and I think that’s what Andrus needs — somebody with new ideas and a lot of experience.” Johnstone said it’s hard to leave such a great school, but the Caldwell school is

much closer to home, which played a big part in his decision. This will allow him to attend more of his son’s activities, he said. His son is going to be a junior at Vallivue High School and won this year’s 5A state golf championship. “I’m really going to miss Andrus,” Johnstone said. “The teachers are incredible here, they’re very professional, very hardworking. And the students are just very well behaved. … So it’s with really mixed emotions that I’m leaving.”

The eighth summer of CableONE Movie Nights at Settlers Park starts June 6. Movies will start at dusk every Friday, with the exception of July 4.

Movies in the park start June 6

rab a blanket and some snacks and get ready for Meridian’s eighth summer of Friday night movies at Settlers Park. Throughout the summer, you can catch some of your favorite characters, including Nemo, Mowgli and Mike Wazowski, on the 30-by-17foot inflatable screen. The season starts June 6 with “Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters.” Movies start at dusk — typically between 9 and 10 p.m. Along with the showing of new and classic familyfriendly films, movie night involves food vendors, with staples like pizza, popcorn, snow cones, hot dogs and nachos. Families are welcome to bring their own snacks and non-alcoholic beverages. Sponsors of each movie night often provide additional activities before the movie, by Holly Beech such as inflatables and children’s games. hbeech@mymeridianpress.com The Meridian Library District is sponsor© 2014 MERIDIAN PRESS ing the first and last movie night and will bring along the Book Mobile. Movie night started with a partnership between Meridian and CableONE as an opportunity for fami-

lies to get out and about and spend time together. “We like to provide these things for families to do, and it’s outside,” Meridian recreation coordinator Colin Moss said. “You can spend time with your family, kind of unplugged.” Expected attendance each Friday is about 2,000 to 2,500 people, he said. Viewers are welcome to bring chairs and blankets. Tall-back chairs aren’t allowed toward the front. Attendees under 18 years old must be accompanied by an adult. Last summer, the city tried out a pilot program of a separate movie night geared toward teens. That event failed to capture enough youth involvement, so the city didn’t continue it this year, Moss said. But movie night is popular with families, he said, which is why it was created in the first place. Meridian Parks and Rec employees, police officers and volunteers will staff the event each week. This summer’s movie season is sponsored by CableONE, Rocky Mountain Audio Visual, Inc., Saint Alphonsus Medical Group and Carrington College.

Surrogate moms start new agency to help build families

n the moments after giving birth to the baby she had carried for another couple, Megan Ellsworth of Meridian started to cry. “I bawled,” she said. “And I didn’t bawl because I had just had her and handed her over. I bawled because (her parents) were completely ecstatic. She was perfect.” Being a surrogate mom last year spurred Ellsworth to start her own agency. She teamed up with her friend, Annie Wood — who is in her first trimester as a new surrogate mom — and the two opened Small Miracles Surrogacy last month. The agency is the sixth in Idaho, where demand for surrogate moms is on the rise. “Now, there’s a waiting period — it’s actually hard to find a carrier,” said Dr. Cristin Slater with the Idaho Center for Reproductive Medicine, which provides the medical services for surrogacy agencies. by Holly Beech Wood and Ellsworth are finding hbeech@mymeridianpress.com that a lot of people don’t understand © 2014 MERIDIAN PRESS surrogacy. “A lot of questions are, like, ‘Is it your egg?’” Ellsworth said. “And that’s a lot of the misconception, is thinking that it’s half your child that you’re giving up, and that’s completely not the case.” The embryo, often made up of the DNA of the intended parents, is transferred to the surrogate through in vitro fertilization. “It’s amazing that here are these little embryos that have Courtesy Megan Ellsworth been frozen, and they transfer them to you, and they come out Megan Ellsworth of Meridian, who recently founded Small Miracles Surrogacy with Annie Wood, was a gestational carrier last year perfectly fine,” Ellsworth said.

She gave birth to the couple’s baby girl, Isabell, in September. if it was hard to give up the baby. “It wasn’t,” she said, “because you go into it with the complete mindset of this isn’t mine. It’s not your genetics at all.” comparatively low fees — around $21,000 for the carrier and $7,000 for the agency, What makes surrogacy worth the time and toll on one’s body is helping people along with medical, insurance and legal fees. build a family who can’t through traditional means.

Reproduction attorney Kathleen McRoberts said. Wood is carrying a baby for a husband and wife struggling with infertility. “It’s steadily increasing,” she said. “The bond that you form with the intended parents, it’s hard to put into words,” Small Miracles has started working with a handful of surrogate mom candiEllsworth said. “But to see their faces, their excitement, their eagerness — they dates and interested parents. want to know everything about the doctors appointments, they want to hear the “Our interview process is really thorough,” Wood said. “We’ve both been heartbeat, they want pictures.” though it.

Honor Guard flag presentation starts at 11:58 a.m., followed by a Nampa Warhawk World War II flyover, guest speakers Maj. Gen.

“

The majority of people that we’ve talked to, they are disappointed with the escorted ride, but they are going to come out and celebrate and let the military families and service members know that the motorcycle community supports them.” TODD GODFREY High Desert Harley-Davidson marketing manager

Idaho Patriot Thunder event continues without 100-mile ride T

he Idaho Patriot Thunder ride, one of the largest motorcycle rides in the Northwest, has been canceled this year because police agencies are now asking to be reimbursed to escort the ride, the group’s treasurer said. Last year, 1,000 riders made the roughly 110-mile trek throughout the Treasure Valley, raising $45,000 for military support groups. A ceremony with lunch and live music will still be held Sunday at High Desert Harley-Davidson in Meridian, but event organizers expect attendance to be cut in half without the ride. “It has become a very huge thing, that’s why we’re kind of devastated that this has happened,” Idaho Patriot Thunder treasurer Paul Daigle said. In years past, Idaho State Police and other police departments have donated time to escort the ride, which runs mostly on Interstate 84 from High Desert Harley to Mountain Home to the Warhawk Air Museum in Nampa. But as the ride grows, more officers are needed as escorts. While ISP “wholeheartedly” commends the ride’s efforts and supports military members, spokeswoman Teresa Baker said event organizers should cover the expense of traffic control — not by Holly Beech taxpayers. hbeech@mymeridianpress.com She said ISP would © 2014 MERIDIAN PRESS need to pay 10 troopers overtime to escort the ride — a cost of about $3,500. Meridian Police estimates its cost to provide officers would be $2,000. The Idaho Transportation Department offered to freely provide traffic control on I-84 and state highways and to notify the public of road closures. But that didn’t eliminate the need for police escorts, Daigle said, which would end up costing $12,000 to $15,000. “By the time I pay all the police agencies, then I’m paying more for the police to escort me out than I am to charities,” Daigle said. The group also wouldn’t be able to afford the more extensive insurance plan required by ISP this year, he said. ISP was recently informed by legal counsel, Baker said, that it can’t shut down the interstate or state highways without event organizers obtaining the proper permits and insurance coverage. The money raised by Idaho Patriot Thunder benefits the Mountain Home Air Force Base Operation Warmheart, the Idaho Guard and Reserve Family Support Fund and the Wyakin Warrior Foundation. Organizers are keeping their sights on throwing a fun celebration Sunday. Motorcyclists will still get to

Since it began four years ago, the Idaho Patriot Thunder ride — which stretches from Nampa to Mountain Home — has grown to include more than 1,000 motorcyclists and has raised almost $100,000 for military support groups. The scope of the ride has caused police agencies to start asking event organizers to pay for escort and traffic control services, which led to the ride’s cancellation this year. rev up their engines as they ride in to the ceremony. “We want to focus in on the positive,” High Desert HarleyDavidson marketing manager Todd Godfrey said. “The majority of people that we’ve talked to, they are disappointed with the escorted ride, but they are going to come out and celebrate and let the military families and service members know that the motorcycle community supports them.”

BOISE (AP) — Authorities say at least 17 people became ill and nine were taken to area hospitals after a person drove a gas-powered scooter inside a downtown office building in Boise. Firefighters responded Wednesday afternoon to the 14-story One Capital Center building after office workers complained of headaches and dizziness. Officials say two of those taken to hospitals likely suffering from low level carbon monoxide poisoning are pregnant women. Incident Commander Don Gifford of the Boise Fire Department says the scooter traveled on multiple floors while being operated by an employee in the building. He says operating a motor scooter in a building is against the fire code. Authorities hadn’t released information at print time about who drove the scooter.
