decided to try running for exercise. Normally I can’t be persuaded to get off my bicycle for anything, but with my bike waiting for a new wheelset and the ground so icy, I decided I should try something else in the meantime. I had all the athletic clothing since I used to go to the gym regularly, and I knew Settler’s Park nearby had a paved path all the way around it. So I got my running shoes, put on a sweater and got some songs in a playlist started. Within minutes my eyes were watering from the cold wind, my lungs were burning and my heart felt like it was going to burst. It was awful and I just kept thinking, “why does anyone do this?” As a cyclist I know nutrition and pace are important for having a pleasant ride, especially if you want to go a long distance, and obviously anytime it is cold there are additional challenges but none of it explained why I was in so much agony. So there I was, eyes watering, panting like a dog and in desperate need of a tissue all while Billy Idol belted “Rebel Yell” into my ears. I knew I couldn’t pass out or whoever found me

might laugh at the huge number of ‘80s songs on my running playlist. I kept it short and just ran the perimeter of the park before running my route by Zachary Chastaine home staying at a steady pace the entire zchastaine@idahopress.com time. © 2015 MERIDIAN PRESS All in all it was miserable, but the payoff was totally worth it. A couple hours after the run when my heart finally mellowed out and I had some water, I suddenly felt less like I had just wrestled a yeti and began feeling more energized and alert. I never would have tried running if it hadn’t been for my friends and colleagues who run regularly making it look so easy. I can say with certainty it is not easy. However, it is a good way to get your blood flowing and get a good workout in. Having said that, I don’t think I’ll be making a regular running schedule anytime soon.

There are many questions about how people will live in the future, and four West Ada School District schools will be taking up those questions at the 2015 Future City Competition on Jan. 23. The competition, hosted at Boise State University, will present problems to students such as water recycling and urban farming needs. Then students will model the city and attempt to build a physical model with a budget of just $100. 2015’s challenge is to explore urban agriculture and aeroponic systems for roof-top farms. Heritage Middle School, Lake Hazel Middle School, Lewis and Clark Middle School and Meridian Middle School will be taking part, along with several other schools from around Idaho. Students can receive awards in several categories including most sustainable food production system, most innovative design of infrastructure systems and best model. First, second and third place winners can receive scholarship money and a trip to Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama.

Campaign to raise awareness for stalking
January is National Stalking Awareness Month and to help raise awareness, Advocates Against Family Violence is starting a campaign to help teach people the signs and learn more about the crime with the theme “Stalking: Know it. Name it. Stop it.” Advocates Against Family Violence will offer safety tools and support for the community to promote public education. Mackenzie Swanson said in a statement that stalking is difficult to recognize and investigate or prosecute. Stalking can also happen over computers and other electronics. “If more people learn to recognize stalking, we have a better chance to protect victims and prevent tragedies,” Executive Director Kim Ivacek said.

The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare is urging people to take precautions against Influenza, especially for children and the elderly who the department said the flu can be particularly severe for. Dr. Leslie Tengelsen, deputy state epidemiologist said the flu vaccine was the best protection for families and appeared to be well-matched for two of the three flu strains in circulation. “We’ve had numerous reports of flu outbreaks in long-term care facilities, like nursing homes. Three deaths have been reported in Idaho already and it is still early in the season,”Tengelsen said.

ost of the bike vs. vehicle crashes in Meridian this year took place on clear, sunny days with dry road conditions. In police reports obtained through a public records request, drivers told officers that they looked both ways before turning but didn’t see the cyclist. That drives home cyclist Robert Hall’s top piece of advice for other riders: Be conspicuous. Wear bright colors, put lights on your bike, stand out. From Jan. 1 through Dec. 19, Meridian Police responded to 17 bike vs. vehicle crashes — 13 of which took place during the day in clear conditions. Drivers were cited in nine of the incidents, often because they failed to yield to the cyclist while pulling out of a parking lot or turning right at a red light or stop sign. Cyclists were cited on four occasions. Seven of the wrecks happened when a cyclist was traveling against the flow of traffic. The most common type of car vs. bike collision involves a cyclist riding against traffic and getting hit in an intersection, according to Boise Street Smart Cycling. “With very few exceptions, the safest way to ride is as part of the traffic, going with the flow of the normal traffic pattern,” the cycling group advises online. Hall, who has commuted six miles a day on his bike for the past three years, said he feels safe riding in Meridian. “Meridian is doing a lot of good things,” he said. “Bicycle lanes and having a wide shoulder — for me that’s No. 1.” Ada County Highway District has increased its push to include bike lanes in road projects, said Matt Edmond, ACHD’s senior transportation planner and bicycle/pedestrian coordinator. There are now 220 miles of on-street bike lanes in the county and more than 46 miles of bike route, according to ACHD, helping the county earn a “Bicycle Friendly Community” designation from the League of American Bicyclists. ACHD has a wealth of resources for cyclists on its website, including safety tips and a 2014 bike route map. This year, 5.8 miles of bike lanes by Holly Beech were added in Ada County, including hbeech@mymeridianpress.com 1.6 miles in Meridian on Ustick Road and Pine Avenue. Meridian will gain © 2015 MERIDIAN PRESS another 1.1 miles of bike lane next year on McMillan Road and Ten Mile Road. “We have the infrastructure for anybody to operate with a fair amount of safety,” Edmond said. “... Bike lanes are great on arterial roadways where you have higher speeds and higher volumes. ACHD also promotes neighborhood routes that offer good connectivity for cyclists but are on roads with lower speeds and fewer cars. An advantage that Meridian has, Edmond said, is its overpasses over Interstate 84. “Meridian’s doing better than Boise in that respect because it’s got Locust Grove, it’s got Ten Mile, and pretty soon it will have Meridian Road with bike lines,” he said. But there’s still work to be done. “We continue to invest in the infrastructure,” Edmond said. “There are certainly gaps in our network.” Hall said something he appreciates about Meridian is its statute that new commercial buildings must have one bicycle parking space for every 25 vehicle parking stalls. Boise has a similar ordinance, with a ratio of one bicycle space for every 10 vehicle stalls. Hall said he and other cyclists are encouraging Nampa to follow suit. Nampa City Council voted down a proposal in January that Top: The city of Meridian is planning additional bike lanes for improved safety for would have required commercial buildings to have a bicycle parkcyclists on the streets.

Children’s Home Society of Idaho expands into Meridian
I
n an effort to extend counseling services to kids, The Warm Springs Counseling Center has opened a clinic in Meridian. The clinic, operated by the Children’s Home Society of Idaho, is expected to handle as much as 35 percent of the counseling center’s daily capacity, which Teresa Alexander, CEO, said can be an average of 90 children per day. Counseling is provided for children ages 3 to 18 years old, and a team of 28 clinicians, three psychologists and one medical doctor work to treat a variety of conditions from depression, behavior issues, by Zachary Chastaine autism and self harm. The care is also provided for the family zchastaine@idahopress.com and can include preemptive care for divorcing couples, grief © 2015 MERIDIAN PRESS counseling and family conflict. “Because we’ve been doing this for 40 years, I think it speaks to our commitment to continue to service children,” Alexander said. “And for that reason, we decided to expand into Meridian because we wanted to increase the convenience for parents and families to get services for their children. We wanted to go where the need was.” Lead Clinician for the Meridian clinic, Erica Van Leuven, said the clinic worked to pair the children with clinicians that could cater to their specific needs and levels of care, including post-traumatic stress disorder. In the past, Van Leuven said the clinic has helped children from the Middle East. However, sometimes the care provided was preemptive and worked to lessen the struggle from things like pending divorces. Parents in some cases come to the clinic if they think there will be a problem. “It can be individual counseling, which can be comprised of many different kinds of therapy,” Van Leuven said. “We try to best fit that child’s needs. We have a collaboration with St. Luke’s where we do a very particular type of work called (trauma-focused cognitive behavior therapy) for kids who’ve gone through abuse.” Sessions can include the entire family, siblings or just one-on-one sessions. The clinic also provides a snack and breakfast pantry to help the kids get a meal. Alexander said some clients come to them from school — and sometimes homeless shelters — and miss getting any food during the day. “Our clinic each day responds to children who have either serious disorders or simple growing pains because they are a child and everything in between,” Alexander said. The Meridian Clinic opened Dec. 22, and the clinicians had already begun seeing clients. Alexander said in the week prior to the clinic opening, the counseling services had served 135 children. A temporary clinic had been opened in Meridian prior to the permanent facility opening on 1833 S. Millennium Way #120 to service clients in the area. The intake process attempts to get clients in to see a clinician the same week they get in touch with the clinic. The Warm Springs Counseling Center operates as a nonprofit and does not turn clients away due to inability to pay. The clinic has rooms which double as therapy room and offices for staff and resources can be shared between the Boise and Meridian clinics to address client needs. The Boise facility where the counseling program began was at one point the state orphanage and was run as the state orphanage for the first 60 years of The Children’s

hen it comes to learning how to be a better writer, the students at Renaissance High School have found that teaching is a powerful tool.

Now the program is enabling students to not only help their peers, by Zachary Chastaine but also help zchastaine@idahopress.com themselves lay the groundwork © 2015 MERIDIAN PRESS for their own futures by giving them hands on experience teaching. Shawna Schneiderman is the director of The Scribe, but she said the program is primarily run by the students who do the consultations. Currently 43 students work as consultants in the program. Julia Palmer, 17, has been a consultant at The Scribe for three years. She said helping with The Scribe was a natural transition since people had already been coming to her for help with papers. “When I heard there was a program like this at the school it really interested me because I hadn’t heard of something like that,” Palmer said. “As a sophomore I still wasn’t sure what my place was in the school and getting involved in this has really helped me feel like a part of the school community. Hunter Fagen, 18, is also a senior who said he found out about the program during registration. “I have a huge passion for writing, and I kind of just wanted to see other peoples’ perspective on it and get different views on writing and see the diversity The Scribe
had to offer,” Fagen said. He said the community around the program was part of what drew him to it. The number of people who were passionate about writing drew him in — but that wasn’t the only thing. It was also the space. The Scribe is located in a small room between classrooms at Renaissance High School. The room is divided into separated desks equipped with writing materials. Students are able to perform one-on-one consultations as well as respond to email consultations. “One of the most rewarding things about it is seeing in some people is this shift where they start to, for the first time, see their writing as a way of personal expression. It becomes more than this school assignment they’re forced to do,” Palmer said. “In a classroom environment there’s not that one-on-one chance to see themselves as a writer and as someone who can express themselves through that medium.” Jordan Walters, 18, is also a senior. Like his peers he is planning to go to college, but Walters, unlike some of his peers, is interested in pursuing a medical profession rather than a writing or education career. Still, he said his experience at The Scribe will help down the road because of the experience explaining concepts as well as reading math and science papers. “I really like the idea of being a part of an academic service. And it’s not just a club you’re attending for fun, you’re getting to do something that means something,” Walters said. Although Walters said participation with The Scribe is fun, the number of consultations the students provide is substan-

Between 2013 to this semester, the students have given a total of 1,243 consultations in person and by email. Students have to apply and be accepted to participate, and when the students aren’t actively giving feedback, they are participating in training programs to help them improve their skills as consultants. Palmer said more than helping to improve students work by helping correct errors over time, the consultations strive to create a conversation so that consultants are learning as much as they are teaching. Fagen said for him, the consultations are especially useful since he is considering
a career in teaching himself. “Every time you do a consultation, you learn something new,” Fagen said. Schneiderman said she can see a difference in student work from students who are using The Scribe. Student work gets more academic and concise over time and they are able to get constant feedback. She said the consultants themselves are learning a great deal. “One of the most common things I hear from consultants after they leave is they learned more than they ever taught anybody because they are thinking about the writing process all the time,” Schneiderman said.

Meridian Reads continues into second week by Zachary Chastaine
zchastaine@idahopress.com © 2015 MERIDIAN PRESS

eridian Reads continues with activities for the selected books “All The Light We Cannot See” by local author Anthony Doerr and the youth companion book “Wonderstruck” by Brian Selznick. Meridian Reads is a community-wide reading project aimed at getting as many people in Meridian reading the same books and starting thoughtprovoking conversations around the book’s themes. The Meridian Reads officially began Wednesday with an event at Meridian City Hall. There are several events planned through January and February which will continue the conversation and try to make the read more fun and thought-provoking for people in the community. Outreach Coordinator Audra Green said the library borrowed Braille copies of the “Harry Potter” series from the Ada County Community Library as part of Meridian Reads and plans to order a copy of “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea,” for the Meridian Library’s collection. Green said Braille and blindness as well as deafness play a key role in the selected novels, and many of the activities planed during Meridian Reads are related to the themes in the novel in some way. The intention is to help expand on ideas in the novels and create a community-wide conversation. The book “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea,” is a central point in “All The Light We Cannot See,” so this week will feature a movie screening of “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.”

For small businesses
Small businesses in the Boise district secured more than $80 million in loans in fiscal year 2014 that were guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration’s 7(a) program. The loans are distributed through banks and lenders, and SBA backs part of the loan if the business owner defaults. That removes some of the risk for lenders and opens up lending opportunities for entrepreneurs who might not qualify for other forms of lending, according to the SBA.

“
All of our trainers are former collegiate athletes, so we know what it takes to get to the next level and how hard you have to work.” JASON ELLIS Rock and Armor co-owner
Local athletic entrepreneurs foster good health in the community R
ock and Armor, which opened Sept. 2, provides care and training for customers of diverse backgrounds — from fulltime athletes to people looking to stay in shape. Owners Jason Ellis and Tim Williams and their staff fuse together years of experience in athletics and physical therapy. Whether it’s someone looking to get in shape or stay fit, a person recovering from an injury or a whole team looking to improve their game, Rock and Armor has the resources to help them thrive, the owners said. The robust facility enables Rock and Arby Zachary Chastaine mor to provide tailored service to customzchastaine@idahopress.com ers, including the option of blending physi© 2015 MERIDIAN PRESS cal therapy with training. “All of our trainers are former collegiate athletes, so we know what it takes to get to the next level and how hard you have to work,” Ellis said. The staff at Rock and Armor is also heavily involved in local youth athletics. Ellis works with three high school basketball teams, trainer Candice Thomas coaches junior varsity soccer in Kuna and works with other teams around the Treasure Valley, and trainer David Mikell coaches football at Meridian High. “Jason lives in Boise; I live in Meridian. We live in the community; we’re part of the community,” Williams said. Ellis and Williams were college athletes — Ellis at Boise State University playing basketball and Williams at University of Nebraska running track. Both played between 2001 to 2005. Afterward, Ellis went on to play professional basketball with the Idaho Stampede, and Williams worked with the Idaho Steelheads and trained in a sports residency with St. Luke’s. The two actually met when Williams helped Ellis recover from an injury. Ellis was seeing Williams two to three times a week, and Ellis believes it was the work with Williams that enabled him to return to the game as quickly as he did. The two became friends, stayed in touch and eventually founded Rock and Armor. They used a Small Business Administration 7(a) loan through Zions Bank to buy their facility from a former fitness company, along with some of the previous owner’s equipment. Then Rock and Armor was able to get its own equipment and organize it into a primarily open-space workout area. “It’s sports specific too, so we’re trying to keep football players with

The staff tries to keep skill and age groups together in ways that will foster a sense of getting the most out of their sessions. But Rock and Armor is welcoming to whoever walks through their door. “This isn’t just for athletes, we’ll train your average person that’s just looking to get in shape,” Ellis said. “It’s anybody.” Some classes are tailored for people over the age of 40 to help them stay in shape and offer an environment they can enjoy. “Most of the people are retired in their 60s and 70s who come,” Williams said. Classes are kept to 15 people, and although Rock and Armor wants to expand, Ellis said the trainers will try to open up new classes rather than turn people away. Williams said he wants people to feel comfortable when they come in for physical therapy or training. His goal is to create a good environment for people where they can feel good about their sessions.
Meridian City Council elects officers, meets new staff
T
he Meridian City Council Chambers were packed Tuesday evening — mostly with high school students — for the first council meeting of 2015. The council elected new officers, councilman Charlie Rountree was by Zachary Chastaine nominated for the position of zchastaine@idahopress.com council president and following his nomination was elected to © 2015 MERIDIAN PRESS the position. Councilman Keith Bird was then nominated for the position of council vice president and then elected to the position. Mike Barton, Parks and Recreation Department’s park superintendent, presented a proposal to the
City Council to implement a change order with the existing contractor for the Meridian road interchange landscaping installation. Barton said the order would allow the landscaping contractor to work simultaneously with existing construction plans, cost $422,000 and save the city money by coming in at 7 percent lower than the existing budget. Barton said the plan had been reviewed with the Idaho Transportation Department to find best options for efficiency and cost. Brent Bjornson was introduced to the council as the city’s newest — and first — building official with the Building Services Department. Bjornson began working with the city Dec. 22 and brings 14 years of
experience to the city. The Mayor’s Youth Advisory Council, represented by Meridian High School’s Hannah Chambers, presented a recap from 2014. She discussed volunteer activities with events, such as the Winter Lights Parade, and plans for 2015, including suicide prevention awareness efforts following the loss of some members due to suicide. Noting the large number of students in the room, councilman Luke Cavener asked Mayor Tammy de Weerd if it was too late for a student too join the MYAC. De Weerd said it was not to late and new members could join any time. “You are welcome to join us,” De Weerd said.
