Why I want your letters for Meridian Press O connect zchastaine@idahopress.com

ne thing we try to do at the Meridian Press is remain as politically neutral as possible. Ever since this paper started coming off our press, we’ve been dedicated to providing information on the issues to let you, the reader, decide what you think.

This is why we always welcome readers to send us letters sharing their opinions. And why not? It’s your town and your elected officials.

You put them in office, and you have a right to speak up. People seem to forget they can do that.

The public has a right to know what their leaders are doing, even if some of the things they tackle are ceremonial. I try to include articles about all Meridian lawmakers because they are our representatives.

It’s my job to tell you all what’s up, but you can be a big part of this job: by sharing your thoughts with the paper. And I don’t mean calling me to tell me why you think this or that, I can’t do much with that, but I encourage you to put your thoughts together on paper to share with the public.

One thing that is challenging as a reporter is getting calls, Facebook messages or letters from readers expressing their dismay to me specifically about something they read. On one hand, that’s great because it means at least someone cares. But on the other, it would be much better

if those thoughts were addressed as a letter to the editor.

The Meridian Press can provide a platform for readers to express their thoughts on issues.

It doesn’t even have to be political or even serious. We want to know what readers think about construction, performances they saw, if they have kudos they want to express to a group or more.

The people at City Hall do read this paper.

Mayor Tammy de Weerd will see what you say, so if you really want Pronto Pup by Zachary Chastaine to come to Meridian (and be built near zchastaine@idahopress.com City Hall so I can walk to it), you can write © 2015 MERIDIAN PRESS about that and the city’s officials are going to see it.

In addition to your letters, you can also write to the mayor directly.

She takes communication with residents of this city seriously.

It’s easy to do! Go to meridiancity.org, scroll to the city government tab and click on the option for mayor. You can even follow De Weerd on Facebook and Twitter, which I recommend, because she posts fun stuff.

Boys and Girls Club receives grant



A $15,000 grant was awarded from the Gladys E. Langroise Advised Fund in the Idaho Community Foundation.

The $2.6 million dollar gymnasium and teen center will be located next to the Meridian Boys & Girls Club. Executive Director, Colleen Braga said construction was now imminent.

“The current clubhouse just isn’t big enough anymore to meet the growing needs of our community,” Braga said. “The club has had to limit growth due to space issues.”

Braga said in the summer over 100 children are on the Boys and Girls Club waiting list.

Campaign co-chair, Mayor Tammy de Weerd said the group looked forward to a groundbreaking in spring.

Do the Right



The Mayor’s Youth Advisory Council is preparing for Do the Right, a day of kindness scheduled for April 8.

Participation is easy. Participants are simply encouraged to do something kind for the people around them and encourage others to do the same. Participants are also asked to share their experience by using hashtag #DoTheRight.

The Meridian Chamber of Commerce recently threw in its support and is a sponsor for Do the Right and encouraged others to do the same.

CALDWELL—A 15-year-old boy shot and killed himself March 13 while handling a stolen gun.

The incident occurred around 4:15 p.m. in the 1600 block of East Cleveland Boulevard in Caldwell. Police responded to the scene and determined the shooting was not a suicide.

Several people witnessed the shooting. Investigators determined that the boy was showing the gun to other people in the home when he fired a single shot.

The juveniles involved in the theft of the gun have been identified by police and will potentially face criminal charges.

There is no indication that adult family members knew the juveniles stole the gun.

Cheerleaders square off for state championship

W

hile cheerleaders can often be found around the sidelines of basketball courts or football fields of schools all over the United States, cheerleading itself is also a competitive sport that athletes have to spend hours choreographing and practicing

by Zachary Chastaine zchastaine@idahopress.com before competing with other teams. © 2015 MERIDIAN PRESS And on March 20 and March 21, they’ll have their chance to do just that.

Teams from schools all over the West Ada School District will put their skills to the test during the 2015 Idaho High School Dance and Cheer State Championships at the Ford Idaho Center in Nampa.

Charity Tucker, who coaches the cheer team at Rocky Mountain High School, was a cheerleader in high school, college and has been coaching for eight years.

“I started cheerleading after I was unable to continue in gymnastics,” Tucker said. “I taught gymnastics for 15 years first, then when my daughter was interested in cheerleading, I started coaching to stay in touch with the competitive world.”

Tucker said cheerleading is a yearround sport with girls and boys trying out for the team in May. The team is active until March the following year. The team practices several days a week, along with supporting football and basketball teams. They’re also responsible for making it to their own jobs and of course taking care of their classes.

“The girls have to work harder than any other teams to prove that they are a sport,” Tucker said. “It is expensive and time consuming, but in the end, they do it for the love of cheer and their teammates.”

The routines take hours to choreograph, and Tucker said if one member is sick or injured they have to change their formation to compensate or find an alternative stunt to make up for the missing member.

Teams are scored based on four categories: show, sideline, pom and stunt.

All involve different moves and props and are worth different amounts of points from each judge. The team usually has just one minute for their routine in each category.

Tucker said the team members are held to a higher standard by coaches and

(Cheerleading) is expensive and time consuming, but in the end, they do it for the love of cheer and their teammates.”

administrators to stay eligible for competition or to cheer at games. But they get the benefits of being on a team, including staying active as well as the opportunity to earn college scholarships.

Competition is also a big deal for the team. Tucker said that while cheer is competitive in the Meridian area, the teams often travel to Utah or California to get more experience at competition. The Rocky Mountain High School team has been successful in recent competitions such as the SDSU California Regional competition.

“Our school is only (in) its seventh year, and we have had a very competitive program,” Tucker said.

Despite the level of competition, Tucker said the team still struggles to attract audiences of its own. Tucker said school administrators are great about trying to support the program and coming to watch the team.

“We try to get more to turn out and watch, but it is hard because (viewers) don’t always understand the skill involved to be part of a competitive team,” Tucker said.

Tucker said the team also gets help from parents who help with fundraising, travel and volunteer time to assist the team.

The Rocky Mountain High School cheerleaders will be competing at the State Dance and Cheer Championships this year.

SkillsUSA students honored by governor G Courtesy MARK ENGER

ov. Butch Otter signed a proclamation Feb. 28 to recognize February as Career and Technical Education month and to become better familiarized with professional-technical education.

The proclamation also recognizes the accomplishments of West Ada School District’s SkillsUSA student members of the Residential Construction Program.

In addition, Meridian Mayor Tammy de Weerd recognized these same SkillsUSA students with an additional formal city of Meridian proclamation for their accomplishments.

Students in levels two and three of the West Ada’s Residential Construction Program are completing the 16th Habitat for Humanity Home.

District students have worked to complete a home each year for the last 16 years. The 1,230-square-foot house they are currently working on is a three bedroom, two bath home with a garage.

Students worked on all aspects of constructing the home, including installation of laminate wood flooring, painting the home and installing the appliances.

The home is move-in ready.

The only parts of the home students did not work on was the pouring of the foundation, plumbing and electrical work.

With an emphasis on green construction practices and materials, the homes consistently meet energy star standards which in turn saves money for the new home owners. In addition, the students who are SkillsUSA members engage in volunteer efforts and related competitions.

In community service over the past eight years, students have placed consistently in the top 10 at the national level.

There are a wide-variety of competitions students may select to compete in related technical math, job skill demo, job interview and carpentry. The mission of SkillsUSA is to empower these students to become world-class leaders, workers and responsible residents to improve the quality of a skilled workforce.

For information about Professional Technical Programs the district offers to students who attend one of the five attendance-zoned high school or the three academies, go to westada.org/domain/89.

ndrus Elementary School was home to a school-wide science fair called Family STEM Night on March 5 presented by the Andrus Elementary PTA. The school was home to science fair demonstrations by students, guest exhibits by Boise State University

by Zachary Chastaine zchastaine@idahopress.com students, Idaho Power, Inter© 2015 MERIDIAN PRESS mountain Pet Hospital, the Mountain View Physics Club and more.

Although the night did include traditional science fair favorites such as baking soda and vinegar volcanoes, the students and guest presenters had significantly more to offer. Third-grader Elle Hamaker presented on Archimedes’ Principle and could articulate the principal and tell visitors about how she did her experiment.

“It was fun,” Hamaker said.

Lee Coulson, adviser to the school’s Lego League team, showed off robots set up for students to see. The robots were programmed to perform specific tasks like retrieving rings or clearing obstacles. This is the sixth season at the school.

Some presentations were focused on

nature. The Boise Bureau of Land Management brought microscopes and plant samples with biologists as well as a hawk to teach kids and parents alike about how the raptors use sound to find prey.

Second-grader Youssef Belhadj had a presentation about how people can float on the Dead Sea due to its salt content.

Belhadj set up vials of water with different amounts of salt to show how it could make things float in water.

Other student projects included models to demonstrate simple machines like levers and inclined planes. Henry Williamson built a car that can carry cars out of LEGO bricks to show how these machines could work.

Principal Peggy Ellis said the event was in its third year and made possible from the commitment of community partners and volunteers such as Sarah Anderson, who works at Boise State University but is also a parent at Andrus Elementary.

Ellis said Family STEM Night was fun but also tackled a curiosity the students have.

“Kids wonder. They wonder all day long,” Ellis said. “The kids are so proud of the work they do.”

A large crowd listens to YACHT perform on the main stage at Treefort Music Fest in Boise. Over 250 bands play at the music festival during a span of four days.

Boise’s music festival is back for another weekend of fun Treefort 2015

March 25 to 29 Treefort Music Festival starts March 25 and runs all weekend at multiple venues in downtown Boise. This year’s humongous lineup includes bands like Trampled by Turtles, Built to Spill, Josh Ritter, of Montreal and many more.

Treefort takes place at several venues with its Main Stage located on the Owhyee Plaza overflow parking lot. Other venues include the El Korah Shriners Temple, The Crux, The Shredder as well as other venues in downtown Boise. The venues are inspired by other major music festivals such as South by Southwest, but Treefort has carved an identity of its own as Boise’s music festival.

The festival also includes other non-music festivities like the Treefort Film Fest, which brings independent films to Boise as well as sessions with filmmakers and workshops. Hackfort brings creatives in the tech world together to share ideas and includes three days of TED Talk style presentations and panels.

Yogafort, as the name implies, runs for three days and gives participants a chance to take yoga and dance classes to live music.

For the first time this year, Comedyfort will be bringing laughs to Boise for all five days of the festival.

Another new addition specific to children is the addition of Kidfort where kid-friendly classes and activities will be available.

But that all just scratches the surface.

City Council holds public hearings on properties

T

he Meridian City Council approved on Tuesday several zoning permits for construction throughout town.

The council approved a final plat for a residential area including 51 single-family lots as well as six common lots. The plat

by Zachary Chastaine located on the northeast corner zchastaine@idahopress.com of Fairview Avenue and North © 2015 MERIDIAN PRESS Hickory Way was put forward by C15 LLC. Some of the hearings were continued from a prior council meeting.

A public hearing for a church site also entered into its second round of consideration. The company Architecture Northwest proposed the building of Sulamita Church on the southwest corner of West Cherry Lane and North Black Cat Road. The company requested a conditional use permit to build the church in an R-8 zoning district.

During the previous council meeting, the church had 10 people testify in favor on the project. No one testified against.

The council approved the zoning and permit for the church, with Councilman Joe Borton abstaining on both votes.

Another zoning and permit hearing for a subdivision development by ZWZ Properties LLC located on 398 S. Locust Grove Road was also approved with one person testifying in favor during a previous hearing, but Rod Cullip, a neighbor to the north of the proposed development, testified against the proposal.

Cullip said in previous discussions with developers

on the project, the city had required to install a fence separating the properties. Cullip’s concern was that children from the subdivision would come into his property where he has horses and he was concerned for safety.

Mayor Tammy de Weerd said that it was concerning if the city had previously required the fence and it had not been installed.

A pathway on the development meant to be used for emergency vehicles was also a point of discussion.

Neighbors in existing homes worried the road would be used by normal traffic, but developer Ben Thomas said the pathway would be marked as emergency access only and be blocked by bollards. There were also concerns raised by the council about the gravel pathway being sufficient for fire trucks. However, Chief Perry Palmer had said since the road was blocked to normal traffic he was not as concerned about the road but that paved roads were always preferable.

Ultimately the discussion on the development was tabled until Tuesday to give more time to examine requirements on the development.

A final public hearing for zoning and permits on a proposed subdivision by Blossom 1 LLC brought neighbors and developers in for discussion. The original proposal for the Nesting Swan Ranch subdivision, a proposed gated neighborhood with private roads, was recommended for denial by the Meridian Planning Division. The developers had since reworked the plan to address the recommendations made by the planning division.

A major factor for developers with the Nesting Swan Ranch subdivision was that it be different from other

subdivisions. To achieve this, developers were adamant about having private roads. The 31 building lot and seven common lot subdivision had been called a leapfrog development and representatives for the developer Tamara Thompson and Gary Allen defended the design and choices of the development as well as explained changes they had made to the council.

One concern held by the planning division was that the subdivision would create a burden on over-capacity schools, but Thompson said with the passage of the West Ada School District bond to construct new schools that would likely not be an ongoing problem. Allen also said it was believed that more senior individuals would be the primary residents of the subdivision.

Neighbor Dan Luke gave testimony against the subdivision. Luke’s property sits at the intersection of the road which has been developed into a roundabout and the proposed Nesting Swan Ranch would surround his property, although developers took his property into account in their plan to provide road access in the subdivision. Luke said the homes were not similar to existing homes and that he felt the prices offered for his property were unfair.

“If you look at these houses what they’re putting in here, there’s no comparison about (Luke’s neighbor’s) house and these other ones,” Luke said. “These houses they’re putting in look like Hubble Homes compared to his house.”

Luke said area properties were worth $200,000 but that he had only been offered $70,000 for his property.

“These people don’t care about the people around there that’s lived there for a long time,” Luke said.

Library District joins partnership on new elementary school

T

he Meridian Library Board of Trustees announced March 3 it voted to join the West Ada School District and Treasure Valley YMCA for a joint-use facility.

The joint-use facility will be built in south Meridian near Eagle and Amity roads. The Meridian Library District was invited to the project last fall.

During an interview with West Ada spokesman Eric Exline, he said the partnership with the YMCA would be a part of a new elementary school planned in the area, and students would use YMCA facilities for their physical education activities.

Exline said the partnership with the Meridian Library District and YMCA has enabled the school district to save money on the new el-

ementary school site which Exline said would cost $10 million. The $10 million would come from a $96 million bond the district is seeking from voters March 10.

The land for the project was donated by Marti Hill and Dixie Cook of Meridian, who have long envisioned turning part of their family farm into a community park.

The plan calls for a 90,000-squarefoot building to house the YMCA facility, which would include a gymnasium and aquatic center.

Library Director Gretchen Caserotti said YMCA CEO Jim Everett has spoken with the library board about the project.

“We’ve known we needed to expand to meet the needs of our growing community,” Caserotti said.

“Right now we have less than one-

half square foot per resident, while the standard in libraries is one square foot. Our Silverstone branch in particular, while well loved by our patrons, is only 4,500 square feet. We did our research and explored our options, and the board voted unanimously to pursue the partnership.”

West Ada Superintendent Linda Clark said frugality of the project has its perks in a previous interview with the Meridian Press.

“Sharing resources will eliminate duplications and save taxpayer dollars,” Clark said. “Instead of the school and the Y both building a gym, for example, they’ll share one.”

The J.A. and Kathryn Albertson Foundation donated $4 million for the building construction.

Woman walks for Shriners cause out of the 22 Shriners Hospitals. Some specialize in burn care, orthopedics or clefts.

Harrington started her journey in Astoria, Oregon, with a 100-pound stroller with supplies, but by the time she got near the eastern border of Oregon the stroller was falling apart, so she traded it out for a backpack weighing around 45 pounds.

Harrington wanted to make sure she walked the entire length of the journey, but she only had to camp out four times.

“The Shriners heard about the walk and helped host me or find a hotel,” Harrington said.

Due to the spread of the hospitals in North America, she wasn’t able to visit each one during her trek, but Harrington is already planning another grand walk.

This time, she will be walking around the entire planet. While the walk itself is well in its planning stages, Harrington estimates it will take eight years opposed to her completed walk taking just 10 months.

She walked from about 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. At the end of the day, she made a mark on the road so she could pick up exactly where she left off the following morning. Harrington started with painters tape, but along the way one of the Shriners gave her a stencil with the Shriners’ logo on it to use for marking her starting and stopping points.

And for Harrington, one of the best parts of the whole journey was the people she met along the way.

“I would absolutely do it again,” she said.

If people have been tested for allergies and know they have them, many over the counter medications available at a drugstore can be taken.

Keiley said taking medications earlier in the season is one way to get on top of allergies if symptoms are expected.

Allergy shots work similar to a flu vaccine by providing a sample allergen for the body to get used to. Keiley said a new drug recently approved by the FDA works the same way as an allergy shot but doesn’t have to be injected. Instead it is taken as a tablet.

The clinic offers what are called scratch tests where skin is exposed to a tiny sample of allergens from different sources to see how their body reacts. These tests can be used to see if someone is especially sensitive to one allergen or another.

Avoiding allergens as well as some measures to control the environment in the home are also things people can do.

“Some people have HEPA filters and the bedroom, and some people feel it’s helpful to take a shower before bed,” Keiley said.

hen Meridian resident Anna Harrington, 43, heard that Shriners Hospitals for Children throughout the United States were struggling financially and at risk of closing, she wanted to do something to help.

So one year ago she put on her walking shoes and trekked from Astoria to Boston, stopping at Shriners hospitals all along the way.

by Zachary Chastaine zchastaine@idahopress.com The hospitals provide care © 2015 MERIDIAN PRESS for children regardless of a family’s ability to pay, and Harrington wanted to help the hospitals by raising awareness about their mission.

“It really all began several years ago when I had read about the Shriners Hospital considering the closure of a couple of their hospitals,” Harrington said. “That bothered me because the Shriners Hospital had treated my nephew back in 2005, and when I heard that, it prompted me to want to do something.”

Harrington’s nephew was treated by a Shriners Hospital for Scoliosis. Her goal for the walk is twofold: give back to an organization that has meant so much for her family and undertake an epic walk she had always wanted to try. For 3,800 miles, Harrington walked, making sure to speak with news outlets about the hospitals along the way.

“The route was based on where Shriners Hospitals are,” Harrington said. “It was not a straight shot.”
