love interviewing people who are taking risks. The most recent example is Joe Kozlowski, who opened a law fi rm in downtown Meridian last month.

Read more about his story on page 10.For 10 years, Kozlowski consulted people who

wanted to open their own business. He integrated their business, tax and estate planning to stream-line the process for them.

He can thank some of these clients for moti-vating him to leave the security of working for an established fi rm in Boise and starting his own business.

“There are certain clients that have inspired me to do this. So I meet with them, I help them with these great deals, I see what they’re doing and it just motivates me to want to put my neck out on the line and do something with my name,” he said.

He doesn’t regret taking the leap.“I wish I had done it years ago. I thought about

it years ago.”

You should see the way he talks about his new law fi rm. The light on his face is hard to put into words. Not only is he overjoyed to be a part of downtown Meridian’s community, but he’s excited to continue building relationships with his clients.

“It’s not like I have clients, it’s like I’ve become friends with these people and they just seek my advice. It’s a nice way of doing things, really. It’s all about building relationships and being there to provide whatever it is they need.”

He remembers one phone call in particular that drove this philosophy home for him.

“I knew I had ‘made it’ when one of my clients called me … on a Saturday, it was something to-tally unrelated, but he knew that I could help him.”

Man charged with first-degree murder in infant’s deathMOUNTAIN HOME — A Mountain Home airman who was originally charged with felony injury to a child is now facing � rst-degree murder charges after the Ada County coroner ruled the 22-month-old’s death a homicide by way of abusive head injury. Airman Richard Ryan Laubach, 20, is being charged in connection with the death of his stepson, Joseph Wayne Graham, who was pronounced dead March 12.

Idaho House easily backs personal property tax cutBOISE — The Idaho House voted 67-2 Tuesday to eliminate the personal property tax for about 90 percent of Idaho businesses, favoring a plan by counties over a broader industry proposal that lawmakers decided was too expensive.The bill � ew through the House. Introduced Monday, it got a brief public hearing Tuesday morning and by mid-afternoon was dispatched to the Senate for consideration.The proposal exempts businesses’ � rst $100,000 worth of computers, tables, chairs and other personal property from taxation. Purchases up to $3,000 would be exempt from future taxes, while the bill would also streamline the process by requiring reports just once every � ve years, instead of annually.

Nampa victim named in Meridian rollover crashADA COUNTY — The Nampa man who died in a single-vehicle crash in Meridian has been identi� ed as 35-year-old Shane Lee Peterson, the Ada County Coroner’s O� ce announced Wednesday.Ada County deputies found the Toyota Tacoma crashed on West Chinden Road in Meridian, just west of North Tree Farm Way. Peterson had been thrown from the vehicle and was pronounced dead at Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center.Investigators say Peterson was traveling west on Chinden at about 8:40 p.m. when the pickup drifted onto the right shoulder. He apparently overcorrected, causing the truck to roll.

f you live in a safe, quiet neighborhood, you might forget to lock up your car at night or the back door to your house when you run errands.

But that mistake is one reason why property crime — no-tably theft from vehicles — is the issue Meridian Police of-

ficers deal with the most.“We’re such a safe community that people forget that they

can become victims, so they don’t lock things up,” Deputy Po-lice Chief Tracy Basterrechea said.

Having a stereo stolen from your car isn’t fun, but on the bright side, another reason why property crime is the No. 1 offense police deal with is because crimes against people are

dropping, he said. Theft and burglary crimes also de-

clined from 2010 to 2011, according to Idaho State Police records, but are still the most frequent offenses.

“We put out safety tips every year … yet we still go so often to places where a laptop is stolen, a purse is stolen from an unlocked car, or people leave it, they leave things right out in the open for somebody to see,” Baster-rechea said.

Police have seen cases where thieves comb through neigh-borhoods checking for unlocked car doors. Slipping an iPad from an unlocked car or a bicycle from an open garage is what Meridian Police officer Tyler Marston calls “crimes of opportu-nity” — crimes that don’t require confrontation with the vic-tim. It’s rare that someone would break into a home and rob or threaten residents.

“They want to make sure people aren’t there,” Basterrechea said.

Police officers on the graveyard shift patrol neighborhoods to deter crimes of opportunity. One task is alerting residents whose garage doors are left open — a prime target for a thief.

“The vast majority of time people are very, very apprecia-

tive. But you would be amazed at how angry some people get with our officers for waking them up at 1 in the morning,” Basterre-chea said.

Protect your stuff1. Lock your doors“That’s really our biggest issue

is people not locking things up,” Basterrechea said. “... Our spikes in burglaries usually come from vehicle burglaries because people don’t lock their cars.”

2. Write down serial numbersPolice check pawn shop

records online, so knowing the serial number of your valuables really helps them re-cover your stolen property, Baster-rechea said. If your valuable doesn’t have a serial num-ber, such as jew-elry, keep photos of it.

3. Conceal itDon’t leave your valuable lying on the

seat of your car on in your open garage.

yan Wilhite, the new principal at the soon-to-be Barbara Mor-gan STEM Academy, relates to students who are drawn to science.

“They are just curious about how and why things work, and they like to explore. And I was al-ways that type of kid,” Wilhite, of Eagle, said.

Linder Elementary will be-come Barbara Morgan STEM this fall, and Wilhite will leave his as-sistant principal position at Heri-tage Middle School to lead the transition.

The school’s redesignation might be concerning for Linder parents, Wilhite said. His son was at Eagle Elementary when it be-came Eagle Elementary School of the Arts a few years ago.

“I think the biggest concern for me as a parent was the fear of the unknown — ‘What is this go-ing to look like for my child? Are they going to just paint and play the flute all day or are they still going to be learning all the cur-riculum?’” he said.

He learned that state stan-dards still apply.

“Even a school of choice like Barbara Morgan, we are still held accountable to all of the Common Core State Standards and will teach them all,” he said. “So in that sense kids will receive a simi-lar experience that they would in any other elementary school.”

The difference will be the fo-cus on STEM education, includ-ing an elective taught by a STEM specialist to provide hands-on learning opportunities.

Although Wilhite is excited about where he’s going, he enjoys where he’s been. He helped devel-op the science magnet program at Heritage, where the staff is driven and innovative, he said.

“It’s been a very special group to work with.”

aurie Pogue is no stranger to being in the spotlight on the softball field. The Mountain View High junior received her first scholar-ship offer when she was in eighth grade, from Northern Colorado. Over the next few years, she received more offers from schools all over the country. But it was the University of

California Golden Bears who earned her commitment on April 3, 2012.

The Meridian Press’s John Wustrow spent a few minutes at practice this week talking to Pogue about her recruiting process.

MERIDIAN PRESS: Having your recruiting decision out of the way for your junior season, how much of a load is it off your shoulders?

TAURIE POGUE: It’s such a relief. It’s a lot more time for me to focus and work on myself. I don’t have to worry about get-ting recruited. I can focus on my skills and helping bettering the team here.

MP: Was it overwhelming for you how many schools were interested in you?

TP: The first time it happened, I went to a tournament in Washington and Heather Tarr from (the University of Washington) saw me and I was like ‘oh my gosh, what?’ because they were interested a little bit. When I went to Flor-ida last fall I got like nine offers that weekend, out of nowhere. Then I realized, okay I’m actually that good, I’m actually good enough to play ball.

MP: As an eighth grader, what was it like getting a scholarship offer?TP: Overwhelming. I was like ‘full ride, what does that mean, mom?’ She’s

like ‘you don’t have to pay for anything,’ and my dad’s like ‘oh, it’s great.’ I had no idea. I couldn’t even tell you how much I grew and matured over those six

or seven months. I was this inexperience little kid going and asking ‘where do you guys play football?,’ instead of ‘what is your academic setup here?,’ all these different questions I was learning to how ask. I grew up so quickly, and I think it’s kind of a blessing I was able to learn that.

MP: What was it about Cal that stood out for you and made you want to commit there?

TP: It was everything. The moment I got there, I’m not a cold weather per-son, but the fact that it was raining, but it was still warm. The coaching staff

is what won me away. They were just incredible. And the level of ball, that’s another thing that separated them from everyone else. They’re a great team and they have great academics. I’ll walk out with a great degree from there, no matter what I do.

MP: Why did you commit so early?TP: I had a deadline, I was going to go on a visit to the east

coast, see North Carolina, South Carolina, Syracuse, all these places. They were like ‘you only have a month, we’re going to need you to make your choice.’ I ended up getting it pushed back a couple months and I was like ‘this means they care about me.’ I would have cut it off if they didn’t. I went and made sure I saw Arkansas and Oklahoma, and I was like ‘nope, I’ve got to

go see Cal.’ So I went back to Cal for a second visit and was like ‘okay, here it is, it’s done.’

MP: Is it surprising to you that it’s almost been a year since you’ve com-mitted?

TP: It has. Just looking back on my life in the last year, I feel like I haven’t done the recruiting process in years. I feel like it’s been gone forever. Just looking back, a year, I’m growing up, I’ll be 18 this year.

MP: Do other coaches still try to contact you?TP: No, out of respect if a kid’s committed, they tend to back off. Some-

times they do go after kids, but I would never look into someone else.MP: So you’re pretty firm in your commitment?TP: Oh yeah, I look forward to being a Bear in 2014, easily.

D uring a time when private golf clubs nationwide have struggled to maintain membership, The Club at Spur-wing has gained 200 members in the last two years.

Membership isn’t the only thing expanding at the club. A new nine-hole golf course that includes three

lakes and 23 home sites is under construction off West Chinden Boulevard in Meridian.

“Instead of seeing an old potato field, now you’ll see a nine-hole golf course,” The Club at Spurwing Gen-eral Manager John Thomas said.

Nine-hole courses, as opposed to the full 18, are gaining traction as people’s lives get busier, he said.

The $7 million investment also in-cludes a video training facility, golf shop and lounge expansion.

Spurwing’s success stems from a few factors. Two years ago, the club’s management switched hands from members to The Sun-dance Company, which is investing in the expansion.

Plus, Meridian’s flourishing population helps.“The demographic is very strong for us here, and I believe also

that the growth factor that Meridian is seeing right now is a great benefit to us,” Thomas said.

The Spurwing community started out with about 70 homes in the early 1990s, Spurwing spokesman Jason Bideganeta said. After this expansion, there will be more than 400 homes in four Spur-wing neighborhoods.

NEARBY COURSE CLOSESNeighboring public course Foxtail shut down this year and will

become a subdivision, according to Foxtail’s Facebook page. Man-agement could not be reached for comment.

Thomas said it’s concerning to see another golf course close down, but it might draw new members to Spurwing.

“It helps our market share certainly here and allows us to pull from those people that have played (Foxtail) and to look at the pos-sibility of private club membership versus paying public fees on a daily basis,” Thomas said.

Spurwing’s family membership rate is $4,680 a year, but it’s not just about golf, he said. An outdoor Olympic-sized pool, fitness fa-cility, dining and community events are all part of the package.

“It’s more of, I think, a lifestyle choice when you come to a pri-vate club like ours because there are just a lot of things for every-body,” Thomas said.

fter studying law at University of Idaho and New York University, Meridian na-tive Joe Kozlowski knew that the Treasure Valley

was the only place he wanted to be, he said.

With 10 years of law expe-rience at a Boise firm under his belt, Kozlowski branched out and opened his own firm in downtown Meridian in February. He moved into an old, refurbished build-ing that reads “The Idaho 1913” across the front.

“There’s a certain excitement about historic downtown Meridian,” he said. “... That’s part of the fun of having a business here, is being a part of that, at the same time providing this service that I enjoy doing and helping people.”

Kozlowski specializes in estate, business and tax planning.

“You’re able to watch someone, they’ve got this great idea for a business, and I’m here helping them build that. I’m the person that they talk to when they have questions, when they have tax questions.”

His interest in estate planning peaked when he watched his grandparents pass down their ranch to the next generation.

“(To) help make sure the hard work of one generation is still avail-able for the next — that’s what motivates me, and it doesn’t matter

whether it’s a ranch or small business,” Kozlowski said.At his new office, he’s excited to take clients to neighboring busi-

nesses for meetings, such as Sunrise Cafe and Rick’s Press Room.“People come in and I get to brag about who’s down the street and

who’s here, being a part of the community. It’s exciting,” he said.Kozlowski sees the attraction growing in downtown Meridian —

he sees it becoming a core for community and foot traffic. “Two years down the road there’s going to be people that go, ‘Why

didn’t we jump on Meridian when we had the chance?’”

PLUGGED IN

The U.S. Attorney’s Offi ce, U.S. Marshals Service and all of our partner federal law enforcement agencies are committed to work-ing in close partnership with city police, county sheriffs, state police, the Idaho Attorney General’s Offi ce and Idaho’s prosecuting attorneys to ensure Idaho communities have the resources to identify and pros-ecute methamphetamine traffi ck-ers, aggressively pursue child sexual predators, target violent criminal street gang members and stop fi nancial fraud.

The laws we enforce are enacted by independent legislative bodies. However, we believe it is important to state that limits of any sort on cooperative law enforcement efforts jeopardize public and law enforce-ment offi cer safety. We believe no offi cer at any level should have to think about whether he or she will face criminal charges simply for as-sisting a fellow offi cer.

In Idaho, there are 50 state, county and city law-enforcement offi cers deputized federally to work with FBI, ATF, DBA and U.S. Marshals Service task forces. These forces deal with drug, gang, violent and child sexual exploitation crime. These forces function well because each offi cer knows he or she can trust every other offi cer on that task force in every operation.

Federal, state, county and city law enforcement offi cers work together on a number of task forces in Idaho. In just the last two years, the work of the Treasure Valley Metro Violent Crime Task Force,

comprised of federal, state and city law enforcement agencies, resulted in federal and state prosecution of more than 60 gang members.

Throughout Idaho, state, county and city law enforcement offi cers work with the U.S. Marshals Service fugitive task force. They identify and arrest those for whom warrants have been issued and who pose a direct threat. Six federal, county and local agencies serve on a Drug Enforcement Administration-sponsored task force that combats drug traffi cking in Idaho. Federal law enforcement also combines intelligence and training resources with state specialized investigating units, including Idaho’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and the Idaho Sex Offender Watch Task Forces.

We are both Idaho natives with long careers in law enforcement. We are committed to the public safety of the Idaho communities we grew up in and that we now serve as representatives of the federal government. We have been and will continue to be strong partners of state, county, city and tribal law enforcement.

A stable constitutional govern-ment relies on the rule of law as a foundation principle — and for law enforcement at all levels to enforce the law.

When I moved to Meridian from Riverside, Calif., in Febru-ary 1994, the dairy town had a modest population of about 16,500. The Challenge Butter tower still stood proudly near the railroad tracks.

There was no Eagle High School, let alone Mountain View or Rocky Mountain. There was only one Albertsons (where I got my fi rst after-school job), and certainly no Walmart.

I still remember getting off I-84 that fi rst day in Meridian, driving slowly past the water tower and the feed store and the bowling alley, and wondering, “What on Earth are my parents thinking?”

It took years for Meridian to feel like home. And I guess it’s true that history repeats itself, because Meridian is once again a strange and unfamiliar place to me. This time it’s not scary, though — it’s actually kind of exciting.

In the early planning stages of Meridian Press, I took our Meridian reporter Holly Beech on a tour of Meridian through the eyes of a local. And man, did I feel dumb. Every time we turned a corner, there was a new business I’d never heard of before, a new park I had never seen, a new subdivision I didn’t even know existed. Some tour guide I am.

Planning and producing the Meridian Press has given me a whole new perspective on my hometown. For example, when Holly reported on Rick’s Press Room — a beloved Meridian restaurant featured on Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives” — I was blown away by the number of readers who said they’d known about the place for years and dined there often. And I’d never heard of it.

A more bittersweet revelation: Linder Elementary, my old stomping grounds, will soon be transformed into the Barbara Morgan STEM Academy. You can read about the school’s new principal, Ryan Wilhite, on Page 6 of today’s edition.

Rather than be sad or overwhelmed at vast differences be-tween the Meridian of my childhood and this sprawling suburb of more than 76,000 people, I’ve decided to get reacquainted with my hometown. And I need your help.

I need you, my 76,000 friends and neigh-bors, to tell me about all the things I’ve been missing in my own backyard. Is there an amazing restaurant I haven’t lived until I’ve eaten at? A little-known park (bonus points for a bocce court) or a nifty family-owned boutique? I want to hear about it! You can reach me at (208) 465-8123 or [email protected].

Charlotte Wiemerslage is the Meridian Press local editor.

There’s no place like home?

Local law enforcement must continue to work with federal partnersto the high school stu-

dents who pledged to stay nicotine-free this week during the event Take a Stand Against Nicotine.

to the kids who tried out and are performing in the Missoula Children’s The-atre’s version of “The Secret Garden” this weekend.

to the dance team at Rocky Mountain High School for winning the 5A state championship.

to the re-striping of McMillan Road between Meridian and Eagle roads. It was very confusing driving eastbound as to where the tra� c lane was.

if more round-the-clock time was spent on these major road closures. It is not uncommon

to see road crews working day and night to expedite major interruptions to commuter routes. Speci� cally Me-ridian Road and Main Street. There are no close residential areas that would be disturbed by all-night crews.

I live on Cherry Lane, have to use 8th Street to Pine to Main to Franklin to Meridian just to get on the

freeway. Now Pine Street is closing? I really didn’t want to go down Linder. Geez, when is this going to stop? Hate all this crap.

Property crime in Meridian

“People have a false sense of security. I really wish people would lock their cars and home. We have lived here for 21 years, and there has always been crime. A lot that happens does not get on the evening news. Please start locking doors, even when you are home.” — Pattie McFarlin Walker

“Deterrence works best. Thieves get o� way too easily these days. Arm, alarm, do some harm. Lights, especially sensor lights, scare o� would-be crooks.” — Thom Hollis

“I also feel safe in Meridian, but I would never

leave my car unlocked, at home or elsewhere … temptation has a strong calling. And in Boise, I had my car stolen right out of my driveway while I was cleaning the inside of the garage. Lesson learned!” — Susan White

“Even in our wonderful city we have to lock everything because you just never know what could happen. It’s better to be safe than sorry!” — Alicia Wilkinson

“Meridian is safe, but there are still the elements from outside of our city that will take advantage. Crime is partially attributed to opportunity. If the opportunity is there, the crime will be committed. Lock your doors, whether it be your home or your

car, and keep your valuables out of sight. As the economy continues to spiral down, those people who look for opportunities will � nd them.” — Sandra Laney

“I had my car stolen right from my driveway with it locked! Nothing is safe.” — Eric R. Bush

“Thanks for the motivation. I rarely lock my car when I’m running errands. I don’t have anything in there to be stolen — maybe they will take my old French fry containers. I’ll try to be better.” — Angie Bramwell Wycherly

“Grew up in rural Texas and locked it all up. Duh.” — Renea Urquhart
