RECALL UPDATE

COURTS

Efforts to recall West Ada School District Trustee Mike Vuittonet ended last week after the committee against him decided it was time to move on.

Village Cinema could lose its liquor license because of an Idaho law that the theater owner says is antiquated and out of touch with today’s standards.

Meridian Press celebrates 3rd anniversary connect hbeech@mymeridianpress.com Phone: 208-465-8122 Twitter: @HollyBeechMP

When the Meridian Press first started, I would joke to my friends that I felt like it was my baby. I’d stay up late thinking about it. I had a picture of the front cover on my phone. The paper caused me bouts of worry and frazzled my nerves, yet it also rewarded me with a sense of adventure and accomplishment. Well ya’ll, this baby is growing up. I’m happy to report that on Monday, the Meridian Press celebrated its third anniversary. What a three years it has been! We’ve gone from being an obscure publication that no one had heard of to being a real part of this community, something people turn to for information and local stories. I’ll never forget an email I got from a local news anchor describing how she looks forward to sitting down with her cup of coffee and her Meridian Press every Saturday morning to catch up on local stories. The way you, our readers, have embraced the publication and have shared your stories with us has been the biggest highlight so far. Remember how I said this baby can also be stressful? This week started out as one of those weeks. It reminded me of finals week as a college student, yet with no summer break in sight. Then on Tuesday I sat down with Mayor Tammy de Weerd to talk about her upcoming State of the City address. Before we started the

interview, De Weerd shared with me that she sees the Meridian Press making a difference by connecting the community and boosting public knowledge. She noticed the Meridian Press on some doorsteps when she went door-to-door during her election campaign this year, she said, and residents seemed more informed about local issues. Hearing the mayor share that bit of perspective was meaningful, especially during an overwhelming week. What she described reflects the purpose of what we by Holly Beech do: informing you about what’s going on hbeech@mymeridianpress.com — the fun stuff, the important stuff, the © 2016 MERIDIAN PRESS heartwarming stuff, all of it.

TRENDING 4 The Ambrose School junior earns perfect ACT score



Noah Pauls, a junior at The Ambrose School in Meridian, recently received a perfect 36 out of 36 score on the ACT, a test that determines academic readiness for college. Noah said what helped him was repetition — he took the test four times and also used previous ACT tests provided by the Huntington Learning Center. He also credits his mom for all her help. Along with being bright, Noah is a humble servant leader, Dean of the Upper School Chris Browne said. Noah hopes to attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and study computer science and computer programming.

Idaho gas prices 8th highest in the nation



Americans were paying an average of $1.83 per gallon of gas this week, a 16-cent drop since Jan. 1. But Idaho and other primarily western states aren’t quite there yet. At $2.03 a gallon, Idaho’s average price is eighth highest in the country and down 10 cents this month. While Idaho’s average price continues to fall, it’s still 17 cents higher than a year ago, when the state average was among the lowest in the country. Reduced seasonal demand and falling crude oil prices combined to send national pump prices to the lowest mark in six years, according to AAA Idaho. As of Tuesday, the national average gas price had been $2 or less for 27 consecutive days, and Idaho gas prices per gallon were: Boise, $2.05; Coeur d’Alene, $1.87; Idaho Falls, $1.97; Lewiston, $2.03; Nampa, $2.06; Pocatello, $1.97; Twin Falls, $1.96. In December 2003, by comparison, Idaho’s average price for a gallon of regular grade gasoline was about $1.60. —Source: AAA Idaho

Meridian schools’ future cities score in top 5



Two Meridian middle schools scored among the top five teams in the 12th Idaho Regional Future City Competition, held at Boise State University on Saturday. Meridian Middle School team took second place, and a Lake Hazel Middle School team took fourth place. The competition included 31 teams from 22 schools across the region, including Idaho, Utah and Nevada. The project-based learning experience allows middle-school students to imagine, design and build cities of the future. First place went to a team from Sacred Heart Catholic School in Boise, which will represent Idaho at the national competition in Washington, D.C., Feb. 13-16. Third place went to Homedale Middle School, and fifth place went to Falcon Ridge Public Charter in Kuna.

Pickup hits school bus carrying 16 children



No students were injured Monday morning when a pickup rammed into the back of a school bus on West Chinden Boulevard. The 40-year-old driver, Richie Sandberg, was cited for following too closely, Ada County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Patrick Orr said. The bus, carrying 16 students, was stopped at the intersection of Chinden Boulevard and North Long Lake Way. The Chevy pickup couldn’t stop in time, hitting the back of the bus and damaging the rear emergency door. The pickup sustained significant damage, Orr said, but Sandberg did not need to be transported to the hospital. The bus driver was also OK. The kids were transferred to another bus and taken to school, Orr said.

LOCAL NEWS West Ada committee tweaks school boundary plan after hearing public input School board will review the plan Feb. 9

fter meeting for months and hearing from hundreds of parents, the committee working to redraw school boundaries in the West Ada School District is almost ready to take its proposal to the school board Feb. 9. The comby Holly Beech mittee, made hbeech@mymeridianpress.com up of 35 par© 2016 MERIDIAN PRESS ents and one district staff member, tweaked its proposal after hearing input from the community at three public hearings this month. The committee’s proposal is subject to change until the school board approves it, but some of the recent updates include: n Students who are juniors or seniors when the new high school boundaries take effect in the fall of 2017 will be able to stay at their current schools. The previous plan only grandfathered in seniors. With this provision, all students in high school this year will be able to graduate at their current high schools. Additionally, next year’s freshmen will be able to choose to start their high school career at their new school in 2016. As previously proposed, all middle and elementary school students will switch to their new schools in the fall of 2016. n The Meridian Greens/Observation Point neighborhood will stay in the Mountain View High School zone rather than move to Meridian High School. This neighborhood will also be in the Hillsdale attendance zone. n In a previous plan, Pepper Ridge Elementary was split to three middle schools. The committee fixed that so the students will all be in the same middleschool and high-school zones. n The Woodbridge neighborhood will stay in the Mountain View High School zone rather than move to Meridian High School. n Muir Woods will stay in the Mountain View High School zone rather than

IF YOU GO n What: West Ada school board’s review of proposed school boundary changes n When: 5:30 p.m. Feb. 9 n Where: Meridian Middle School auditorium, 1507 W. Eighth St. More details about the proposed boundary changes may be found on the school district’s website, westada.org.

move to Meridian High School.

GOALS The process to redraw boundaries is an emotional and detailed one that involves balancing parent and student concerns with the need to even out enrollment and prepare schools for future growth. Some of the committee’s goals Holly Beech/MP throughout the four-month process Parents give feedback about proposed school boundary changes at a Jan. 13 public hearing at Meridian Middle School, hosted by the West Ada School District’s redistricting committee. were:

1. FILL NEW SCHOOLS

n Hillsdale Elementary will open this fall near the corner of West Amity and South Eagle roads with a capacity of 650 students. Hillsdale will reduce overcrowding at Mary McPherson Elementary, which is 102 students over capacity, and at Siena Elementary, which is 149 students over capacity. n Victory Middle School will open this fall near the corner of West Overland and South Stoddard roads with a capacity of 1,000 students. Victory will reduce overcrowding at Lake Hazel Middle School, which is 485 students over capacity, and Lewis and Clark Middle School, which is 139 students over capacity.

2. BALANCE HIGH SCHOOL ENROLLMENT Drawing high school boundaries has been the most time-consuming and emotional part of the process, West Ada spokesman Eric Exline said. “Every time you try and respond to people’s concerns about neighborhoods or distance, you’re making your ability to reduce overcrowding that much harder,” he said.

Meridian High School — the district’s oldest school, built in 1975 — is almost 600 students under capacity. The district’s newer schools, however — Rocky Mountain, built in 2008, and Mountain View, built in 2003 — are overcrowded by more than 500 students each. If no boundary changes are made, this problem would only get worse over the next few years. The district estimates that if no changes are made, by the fall of 2017: n Mountain View High School would be 1,162 students over capacity. n Rocky Mountain High School would be 963 students over capacity. n Eagle High School would be 225 students over capacity. n Centennial High School would be 23 students over capacity. n Meridian High School would have room for 711 more students, as the remodel is opening up 250 more seats. When the boundary changes take effect, enrollment won’t be perfectly even, but it will be more balanced, Exline said.

“Rocky Mountain and Mountain View will have fewer kids than they do today,” he said. “Honestly, you really can’t get them to 1,800 (capacity), because in total we have 500 more kids than we have seats for anyway.” With the proposed boundary changes in the fall of 2017: n Mountain View High School would be 350 students over capacity. n Rocky Mountain High School would be 388 students over capacity. n Eagle High School would have room for two more students. n Centennial High School would be 117 students over capacity n Meridian High School would have room for 274 more students. Meridian High School’s remodel, which will be done by 2017, will upgrade the classrooms and equalize the learning environment between MHS and other district high schools, according to Exline’s PowerPoint presentation.

hen The Library Coffeehouse closed in downtown Meridian five years ago, it left a gap for residents. “There has not been a coffee shop downtown in a very long time, … you know, where you can go in and sit down,” said Linda Schwacofer, owner of the downtown salon Hair Art Gallery. Schwacofer had been mulling the idea of opening a coffee shop even before The Library Coffeehouse opened, she said. Then in October of last year, she and her husband, Daniel, finally took the leap and opened up Gallery Coffee in the front part of the historic Main Street building where their salon is located. “We just felt that we should,” Linda said. “And we’re in a really good location, so it just seemed right.” She hopes Gallery Coffee draws the community together by providing a place to hang out, to sit and read and enjoy a favorite drink. Gallery Coffee offers a cozy atmosphere with room to work or relax. There’s also patio seating outside. The shop plays a family-friendly movie every Saturday at 3 p.m., features a local artist’s work each month and plans to have live music when the weather warms up. Game nights and karaoke are also potential events. “I feel like the community is an extension of our family because we’ve been here for a long time, watched all the growth,” she said. “You know when we moved here there wasn’t even a Walmart. … Downtown Meridian, Main Street, that was the place, but there wasn’t really much there. And I think with everything the city is trying to do with the downtown revitalization, I just think it all kind of fits in.” This fall, Gallery Coffee will host a party to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the house it’s in.

The Schwacofers bought the building in 2004. “We want to set up a big party (in September or October), and then we’ll get as much history on that building as we can between now and then,” Linda said. The coffee shop and salon are set up in different areas of the building but are not completely separated.

LOCAL NEWS Meridian mayor shares preview of 13th State of the City address ‘Building Meridian Together’ theme highlights collaboration and growing energy

“B

uilding Meridian Together” will be the theme of Meridian Mayor Tammy de Weerd’s 13th State of the City address Tuesday. In her speech, the mayor will address highlights of 2015, such as the opening of the new Public Safety Training Facility and the reconstruction by Holly Beech of the Mehbeech@mymeridianpress.com ridian Road © 2016 MERIDIAN PRESS Interchange. She’ll also look ahead to exciting changes coming in 2016, she said, including new developments along Ten Mile Road. De Weerd had hoped to be able to make a big announcement about a downtown development — something that’s been in the works for years — but said that project isn’t quite ready to reveal. “We’ll all be talking about it,” she said. De Weerd sat down with the Meridian Press this week to discuss some of the topics in her address.

GROWING SENSE OF PRIDE “There’s a great sense of understanding of what growth has brought — not just the concerns, but you know the amenities at The Village, and … there’s been a sense of that transformation that something’s happening in downtown,” De Weerd said. “People are proud of their neighborhoods and the amenities within them. So it’s a growing pride. I’m on that same wavelength. I see my town and what it continues to accomplish, and it’s exciting.” In November, online financial news corporation 24/7 Wall St. named Meridian the best place to live in America. The study looked at 550 cities with populations of 65,000 or more and highlighted Meridian’s job growth and low crime rate. “The job growth comes when you have a community that people are attracted to,” De Weerd said. Residents may want to keep Meridian a hidden gem to preserve it, she said. But the growth is here in the Treasure Valley, and Meridian is at the center of it, she said. “One of the fundamental ingredients to maintaining a small-town feel in the midst of growth is communication,” she said. “And that’s been a high focus area for our city, is finding better communication tools to reach out and keep our citizens informed. But it’s also the people. People are friendly.”

Ada Co. sheriff’s office fires deputy charged with attempted strangulation Ada County jail detention deputy Troy Eisele was fired this week after being charged with false imprisonment and attempted strangulation. Meridian Police arrested Eisele, 29, in his home Saturday after he reportedly fought with a woman, according to the Ada County Sheriff’s Office. At his arraignment Monday, Eisele’s bond was set at Troy Eisele $50,000, and suspect a criminal no-contact order was filed against him that extends over the next two years. After the arraignment Monday, the sheriff’s office announced that Eisele was no longer employed at the jail. Eisele’s next hearing is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Feb. 8 before Magistrate Judge Theresa Gardunia. False imprisonment is a misdemeanor charge, and attempted strangulation is a felony charge. Eisele’s record on the Idaho Repository does not include any other violent charges from the past. —Meridian Press staff

WHY 3:59? De Weerd said for the last several years she’s started the event at 3:59 p.m. because it prompts people to be on time. “It’s something that someone shared with me a long time ago, that when you say 4 o’clock, it’s kind of 4ish. And when it’s 3:59, you’re remembering 3 something,” she said. “I didn’t do it at first, and people kind of straggled in.”

NEEDED ROAD IMPROVEMENTS

Mayor Tammy de Weerd will highlight the growing energy of downtown Meridian in her State of the City address Tuesday. done, the Ada County Realtors had a grant, and we brought in someone who looked at lighter, quicker, cheaper ideas of what you can do low cost to build the excitement, to bring the awareness of the importance of a downtown. So I’ll be talking about some of those things that you’ll be seeing in 2016 to build on what we did in 2015.” Downtown does not have to compete with The Village at Meridian, De Weerd said. The Village had 66 retailers and 10 offices open at the end of 2015. “People see there’s a great excitement and pride in The Village, and that should overflow into our downtown. They don’t have to compete. They’re two different deals. They offer two different venues, and they’re both exciting for our community,” De Weerd said.

The mayor has called on the Idaho Transportation Department to widen Chinden Boulevard/Highway 20/26, a major east-west route through the valley. “The service levels are very poor, and the accident rates are higher than other major roadways or highways on the state system,” De Weerd said. “The temple opening is certainly going to add new pressure in that area, and having Fred Meyer and some of the other things that are rumored — yet no application — is concerning. We’ve had to do that with Ten Mile, we had to do that with Meridian Interchange. We do know as the center of the Treasure Valley that we don’t just accommodate our growth, we WATER QUALITY REGULATIONS accommodate the valley’s growth, beCity officials anticipate stricter cause that growth travels through us.” wastewater regulations when the Environmental Protection Agency renews DOWNTOWN MERIDIAN the city’s permit in the near future. The Downtown Meridian gained new tenants in 2015 such as New Ventures Lab — a private sector resource for entrepreneurs — the unBound library branch, which provides tools such as a podcast lab and 3-D printers, and PreFunk Beer Bar in the historic Heritage building. “The downtown is extremely important to the community identity and community pride,” De Weerd said. “There’s this growing energy and this growing sense of what the opportunities for downtown (are).

It will cost an estimated $179 million over the next 10 years to improve and expand the wastewater treatment plant to meet the new standards and accommodate population growth. “The big price tag that we’re being hit with was anticipated,” De Weerd said, “and (the staff has) tried very hard to make sure that you spread that over time. They’ve been saving and already planning for those impacts.” Meridian typically has a pay-as-yougo philosophy, but that’s up for discussion in this situation. “That’s always a discussion you have — is pay as you go the best approach, or can you look at bonding for that and having a lower impact to your citizens? That’s what you weigh, right?” she said. “And I can’t answer that for sure yet, but they do run those different costs, those cost models.”

Recall group drops efforts against Vuittonet Separate committee, co-chaired by Vuittonet, still pushing for recall of other four trustees

he committee Veterans Against Vuittonet dropped its efforts last week to recall West Ada School District Trustee Mike Vuittonet, committee chairman Daryl Sallaz said. The group collected more than the 278 signatures needed to launch a recall election, Sallaz said, but felt the district needed to focus on other things, such as moving forward under the new leadership of Mary Ann Ranells and redrawing attendance areas. “We concur with the latest by Holly Beech Idaho Statesman editorial enhbeech@mymeridianpress.com dorsing the current board and © 2016 MERIDIAN PRESS superintendent and an end to all recall efforts, thus bringing peace and stability to the West Ada School District,” the group stated in a press release Jan. 22. “The Idaho PressTribune editorial described recalls as misguided. We agree.” The other four trustees are still targets of recall efforts by a separate committee called The Concerned Citizens of West Ada School District for Trustee Recall, co-chaired by BY THE NUMBERS Vuittonet. “We’re going forward, yes,” Number of signatures required in each zone to render he said last week.

But the group felt Vuittonet no longer had enough influence on the board to justify spending time and money to recall him, Sallaz said. Vuittonet said the reasons to recall the other four board members are still valid. The Concerned Citizens’ recall petitions against the four trustees states that they fail to listen and respond to patrons, place unreasonable demands on employees, act in disrespectful or disruptive ways at board meetings, and lack of transparency and fiscal responsibility. Madsen posted on her trustee Facebook page last week that if enough signatures are submitted for her recall, she will resign “immediately and allow somebody else

to serve (and save the taxpayers the thousands of dollars it would cost to place a recall on the ballot),” the Jan. 21 post reads. “In the meanwhile, I will continue to work tirelessly for our kids and schools, without distraction from this issue.” Vuittonet said his support of the recalls doesn’t hinder his ability to do his job as a trustee. “There’s obviously a sense of, you know, the situation, so we’re not really communicative, pretty much,” he said. “I still try to make Mike Vuittonet West Ada School District Trustee the best decisions, do what’s best for our district, the kids, families and our employees. That’s always been my mind(set).” Ranells, hired unanimously by the board in December, took over as West Ada superintendent Jan. 4. Clark resigned Oct. 23, citing issues with school board members. The board later voted 4-1, with Vuittonet opposed, to terminate her contract rather than accept her resignation, claiming Clark had breached ethical standards.

SUNSHINE LAW Though criticism has been hurled at The Concerned Citizens committee for not reporting on its fundraising, the law says the group isn’t required to. Under Idaho’s Sunshine Law, found in Idaho Code 67-6602, a school board recall is defined as a ballot measure; therefore, committees seeking to recall school board members don’t need to report financial contributions, Idaho Chief Deputy Secretary of State Tim Hurst explained in an email Dec. 17. “School Districts are required to comply with the Sunshine Law only for school board member election campaigns,” he wrote. “Contributions do not need to be reported for a recall of a school board member.”

COST OF A RECALL Ada County Elections Office administrator JoMeta Spencer said it’s too soon to even have a rough estimate of what a recall election would cost. “There are so many variables,” she said, such as which zone the recall took place in, how many precincts there were, how many poll workers the county needed to hire and how many ballots it needed to print. If the recall took place during another scheduled election, such as the May primary election, then costs could be minimal, especially if the recall measure doesn’t require extra pages on the ballot, Spencer said. The Concerned Citizens are aiming for the May 17 election. Either way, the county funds the cost of a recall election, she said, not the school district. The county is switching to a new system this year, so the former cost of roughly 30 cents a ballot no longer applies, Spencer said. The cost per ballot will be lower, but Spencer is not yet sure by how much.

LOCAL NEWS Meridian theater owner: Idaho’s alcohol law is antiquated, illegal Theater is suing the Idaho State Police over a citation that could revoke its liquor license

Pre-Owned Vehicles

eridian Cinemas is challenging an Idaho law that forbids businesses from serving alcohol while showing sexually explicit

content. The Idaho State Police cited the theater, better known as Village Cinema in The Village by Holly Beech at Meridian, hbeech@mymeridianpress.com for serving alcohol while © 2016 MERIDIAN PRESS showing “Fifty Shades of Grey” last year. The citation could cost the theater its liquor license. Meridian Cinemas, owned by the California-based Cinema West, filed a lawsuit against ISP officials in federal court Jan. 19 to challenge the complaint. “In order to prevent them from putting us out of business by revoking our alcohol license, we were forced to file this suit,” Cinema West owner Dave Corkill told the Meridian Press last week. “The law is antiquated. It does not reflect today’s standards, and it is not legal. Therefore, we are challenging it, and we are confident that the courts will agree with us.” The police have put a hold on revoking the liquor license until the court makes a decision, Corkill said. Whether or not the law is valid is for the courts to decided, Idaho State Police spokeswoman Teresa Baker said in a statement. “Alcohol Beverage Control is tasked with enforcing Idaho’s alcohol statutes as they are written,” she stated. The law in question is Idaho Code 23614, subsection (e). It says that no films, still pictures or other visual reproductions of simulated sexual acts or nudity may be shown on the premise of a business that serves alcohol. Corkill said the law violates First Amendment rights. “The First Amendment protects freedom of speech,” he said. “So what we’re saying is the content of the movies that we’re showing are not pornographic. These are PG-13 and R-rated movies. They are protected constitutionally, and Idaho should not be using an alcohol law to tell us what to show in our theater or not show when alcohol is being served.” Idaho’s law was modeled after a similar California law, Corkill said, which was repealed after being challenged in

3. REDUCE FEEDER-SCHOOL SPLITS

The committee tried to keep students together as much as possible as they moved through elementary, middle and high school. But because high schools hold more students than elementary or middle schools, a perfect ratio isn’t possible. With the current proposal: n 25 percent of Hillsdale students will go to Lake Hazel Middle School, and 75 percent will go to Victory Middle School. n Currently, Lewis and Clark Middle School students are split to three different high schools. The proposed boundary changes would reduce the split to just two schools — 38 percent to Mountain View High School and 62 percent to Centennial High School.

4. CONSIDER FUTURE GROWTH

There are about 10,370 undeveloped residential plats in Meridian, Exline

Village Cinema opened at The Village at Meridian, near the corner of North Eagle Road and East Fairview Avenue, in 2013. court in 1997. Corkill expects the same to happen in Idaho.

WHAT HAPPENED ISP had spoken with Cinema West officials before — including in February when “Fifty Shades of Grey” was released in Meridian — about the restriction on showing films with sexually explicit scenes while serving alcohol. In February, after receiving an anonymous tip that Village Cinema was showing “Fifty Shades of Grey,” ISP detectives bought tickets to the film and drank a beer and mixed drink in the theater while watching the movie, the police complaint states. The theater’s lawsuit claims the detectives ignored printed signs and staff members’ instructions not to bring alcoholic beverages into that auditorium. Corkill said Cinema West enjoys a good relationship with the government and doesn’t blame the police officers for doing their job by enforcing what’s on the books. “They’re in a difficult position,” he said.

said. When these plats are built out — a timeline that’s hard to predict — they will generate an estimated 8,296 more students, or roughly 638 more students per grade, K-12. If the district grows at its 20-year rate of 1,000 new students a year, the roughly 8,300 new students would move to the district by 2024. But if the district grows at the rate its grown over the past five years — only about 500 new students a year — this new growth won’t be realized until 2032. A new neighborhood is in the works is Century Hills Subdivision surrounding Hillsdale Elementary. The school will start out with 215 empty seats to accommodate this growth. Another committee will meet next year to redraw attendance areas in the Star/Eagle area, as Star Middle School is set to open in the fall of 2018. — Note: Data sourced from a PowerPoint presentation created by Eric Exline with the West Ada School District
