Former BLM employee sentenced for government theftA Boise woman was sentenced Monday to one year in prison for theft of government property, U.S. Attorney Wendy J. Olson announced. Katrina Telleria, 35, pleaded guilty Dec. 17 to three counts of theft of gov-ernment gift cards, one count of making a false statement to a department or agency of the United States and one count of theft of government elec-tronics equipment. Chief U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill also ordered Telleria to serve three years of supervised release and pay restitution of $71,973 to the Bureau of Land Management.

Committee moves charter school funding bill ahead(AP) A House committee has taken a step toward putting Idaho’s collection of charter schools in a better � nancial position to pay their monthly build-ing and maintenance bills.Legislation approved by the House Education Committee Tuesday would give legislative budget writers authority to appropriate an estimated $1.4 million in relief for the 40 nontraditional schools operating across the state. That amount, which comes o� the top of the general fund allocation to state public schools, could increase to $2.1 million in the second year and even more in subsequent years, according to the bill.

Bill: Police can’t help feds seize banned guns(AP) Idaho law enforcement o� cers who help the federal government con� scate any newly banned � rearms or ammunition could get jail time and a $1,000 � ne, under a measure introduced by lawmakers Monday.The bill seeks to head o� possible attempts by President Barack Obama and Congress to outlaw semi-automatic weapons, high-capacity maga-zines or ammunition following the massacre of Connecticut elementary school students.Government employees in Idaho who help enforce new federal � rearms restrictions or registration requirements would be guilty of a misdemeanor, according to the measure.

S

lanted Rock Brewing Company’s name has quite the story behind it.

Not the traditional story you might imagine, like a slice of someone’s ancestry or a special memory for the owners.

Nope, Slanted Rock was named out of pure des-peration.

When I asked owner Alesa Lonseth how the brewery got its name, she laughed.

“One of the more diffi cult things we had was coming up with the name,” she said. “... It was probably a couple months of tossing and turning and not sleeping, trying to come up with a name.”

This seemingly hopeless search put her calm and collected husband Bob, the brewmaster, on edge.

“We were going to McCall driving past Interna-tional Stone, and his response is, ‘It doesn’t frickin’ matter what the name is, it could be Slanted Rock!’”

Alesa thought about it for a moment.“I was like, ‘You know, Sweetie, that’s not bad.

And it just kind of stuck.’”That story kind of reminds me how I got my

name. My mom resisted the idea of naming her daughter Holly all throughout her pregnancy.

Which makes sense, because her name is Molly. But my dad loved the name Holly Ann, espe-

cially after visiting the lake one day and hearing a father call out to his little girl, “Come on Holly Ann!”

The name sat in limbo for awhile, and it wasn’t until my mom was in labor that she screamed, “OK fi ne, have whatever name you want!”

People still get our names mixed up all the time. For a long time someone even thought it was my mom who wrote for the Idaho Press-Tribune and the paper was spelling her name wrong.

Whether funny, meaningful or coincidental, I love to learn the stories behind names.

See our feature on Slanted Rock Brewing Company, page 12.

ith each project and purchase, the Meridian Development Corpora-tion is working to turn downtown Meridian into an attractive destina-tion for businesses and residents.

“We want the look and feel of Hyde Park (in Boise),” MDC Project Manager Ashley Ford said. “You get there and you know you’ve kind of ar-rived somewhere special. It just feels good.”

Trees along the streets, walkable neighbor-hoods, restaurant patio seating and historic light posts would add to that vibe, she said.

Other hopes for downtown are a light rail train system, a robust line up of businesses, diverse housing options, more parking and easy access.

While the vision looks exciting, each step must be done little by little. Because property values in its taxing district decreased by 12 percent last year, MDC’s fi scal year 2013 budget was $790,000, down from $800,000.

“The reality is it’s going to take some time,” Ford, MDC’s only paid staff member, said. “... The stepping stones are being put into place right now, and that’s what’s important.”

But creating a distinct vibe for downtown Meridian is not something MDC can do on its own, she said.

“While MDC and the city can invest in downtown, it also takes private investment, too. We can’t do

it alone. It’s incredibly important to have those private part-nerships,” she said.

But MDC is working to do what it can. Three of its top priorities are:

1. StreetscapeStreetscape improvements include planting trees and

adding benches and historic lighting. Harvest Church, which sits on a city block at Main Street and Pine, received a $35,000 grant from MDC for streetscape renovations.

2. Flood plain studyProperties in the area south of the railroad tracks and

north of Franklin, between West Fourth and East Fourth streets, are in the Nine Mile Flood Plain, Ford said. MDC has been working on a study for more than a year, hoping the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) revises the fl ood plain map.

“These properties are all paying fl ood insurance now, which is very expensive, so it’s an economic hindrance,” Ford said. Businesses there also don’t have the same ac-cess to federal dollars for things like facade improvements, she said.

The goal is to have the study — in cooperation with health, tech and business partnership The CORE — out for public comment this summer and adopt a plan by the end of 2014.

3. Wine CooperativeWineries are popular in the Treasure Valley, and Merid-

ian is a good middle ground for selling the product, Ford said. A tasting room with a variety of brands would be a good draw for downtown, she said.

PARKING RAISES CONCERNS“As a business owner and in talking with other business

owners, I think that most of our concerns orient around parking and access,” said James Fullinwider with All Amer-ican Insurance, who’s involved in several downtown-fo-cused organizations.

There’s a range of opinions about how involved MDC, Meridian’s urban renewal agency, should be with parking, Ford said. MDC prompted more parking signs and enforce-ment in downtown, and the future vision includes larger, consolidated lots in the core of blocks, street parking and parking structures.

Downtown access has also been a challenge, Ford said, but the Split Corridor Project’s completion this fall will pro-vide for a smoother, safer traffi c fl ow.

m

ake Highway 16 safer.That’s the plea of a heartbroken Meridian

family that lost 16-year-old Shauna Hill in a De-cember car wreck. Hill’s passenger, another Ea-gle High School student, survived.

Students and staff at Eagle High have encouraged people at events to sign or comment on the family’s

petition. About 2,400 people have signed the petition,

and Edward Hill, Shauna’s dad, plans to use the momentum in his efforts to get a traffic light in-stalled at the Floating Feather intersection and reduce the Highway 16 speed in that area from 65 to 45 mph.

“It’s that extra speed that makes it lethal,” he said, noting that the speed reduction would add less than two minutes onto drivers’ com-mutes.

The accident shocked the school and pushed people to act, school counselor Car-

men Harm said.“I think the kids are looking for

change because they care and it’s crazy that we have to wait for

something like this to hap-pen before we do react,” she said.

This spring, ITD will conduct a roadway safety audit on Highway 16, ITD spokesman Reed Hollin-shead said.

But Edward Hill wants change sooner.

“I’m doing this as a passionate father

and a passion-

ate safety advocate because I know if something isn’t fixed, another kid is going to get killed,” he said. “So I’m saving some father the grief, and I wish some-one had done it for me.”

Shauna loved ice-skating and competed nationally. A self-described “orch-dork,” she taught herself to play violin and played in the school’s orchestra, Hill said. She hoped to study environmental science at Stanford.

“Of course I’m the daddy speaking, she was fabulous and sweet and gorgeous and every-thing,” he said, “but as a citizen she was a really tremendous person with tre-mendous potential.”

THE ACCIDENTShauna was crossing Highway 16 on Floating

Feather Dec. 10 when her car was struck by a northbound ve-hicle on the highway. The other driver survived.

From 2002 to 2011, there were nine intersection-related crashes there, Hollinshead said. None were fatal, and one involved a serious injury.

Installing a traffic light would cost about $700,000, plus possible right-of-way fees, Hollin-shead said. After the study, he said, the potential need for a light in that area will be weighed against other needs across the state.

Lou reisenberg, and many others. although, i didn’t really appreciate their impact until i was in college, i found a pathway that i truly enjoyed and fit my interests: agriculture, FFa and the ability to help students find their own pathway.”What is the most interesting, funny or memorable story from your teaching career?“Three years ago, one of my past students — (who is) now a fellow agricul-tural science (teacher) here at Meridian — was teaching a freshmen class on livestock evaluation and the importance of being prepared and thorough. as he was pressing his point … that each component of the judging card was cor-rectly filled out, Jack Blattner, a fellow instructor, went into his office and found

a judging card that our former student … had completed (in) high school — or had failed to fully complete.... it was a moment of deja vu.”As an educator, what has been the biggest challenge you’ve faced?“in the last two years, the lack financial support to the educational system. The increase in student load with less preparation time.”If you could give a piece of advice to those thinking about, or studying to become an educator, what would it be?“i believe that a key component of my teaching philosophy is that, i simply love my job. Outstanding teachers must love their job and take personal pride in student success. i believe that it is vital to create a sense of family in the classroom program. … (setting) a positive mood and showing genuine interest in the students helps to motivate them to higher levels of achievement. effective management of the instructional time and using a variety of delivery methods helps to keep me motivated as well. i am willing to try new approaches and strive to evaluate and col-laborate (to achieve) success or failure in and outside the classroom. i work diligently to be (a) communicator within the classroom, with parents, with my fellow advisers and staff, and especially with members of our community.”

School board approves Barbara Morgan principal

The Joint School District No. 2 School Board voted unanimously Tuesday to offer the principal position at Barbara Morgan STEM Academy to Ryan Wilhite, assistant principal at Heritage Middle School.

Linder Elementary will be re-desig-nated as Barbara Morgan in the fall, and current Linder principal Melanie Koch will transfer to the new Willow Creek El-ementary.

The district only opened up the Bar-bara Morgan principal position to cur-rent employees. Wilhite stood out among a handful of qualified candidates because of his experience in education — specifi-cally in areas of science, JSD2 Deputy Su-perintendent Bruce Gestrin said at the board meeting. As a STEM school, Barbara Morgan will have a focus in science, tech-nology, engineering or math.

Wilhite has been at Heritage for six years, where he plays an integral role in the school’s science education efforts, Gestrin said. Before that he was assistant principal at Sawtooth Elementary and before that, a science teacher at Meridian High School.

“In the interview he was very passion-ate, and we can see that he very much wanted the position,” Gestrin said.

sixteen-year-old shauna Hill, an eagle High school student, died as a result of a december car accident on Highway 16 and Floating Feather. The fam-ily, students and community members are promoting lower speeds and a traffic light in that area.

NAIA NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

Hillary Holt’s running career at Mountain View High wasn’t one of individual notoriety.

A strong distance runner, Holt was part of a 5A state cross country championship team and twice won titles as a member of the Mavericks’

4x800-meter relay squads.But as a senior, she was the sixth on the Mavericks’

state runner-up cross country team, and in track she was third at the 5A state meet in her favorite event, the 800.

College of Idaho track and cross country coach Pat McCurry can laugh about those days, as Holt wasn’t noticed for her talent, only her times.

“We knew coming out of high school she was a lot better than her high school marks and results showed, and her high school coach, Tracy Harris … also knew that,” said McCurry, adding that Holt dealt with injuries at times, and hadn’t yet matured as an athlete who knew how to set goals and achieve them.

“(Harris) just kept telling me — and really should give him the credit — he told me he thought she could win national titles and was that talented,” McCurry recalls.

The C of I coach brought Holt to the Caldwell cam-pus, and though she was receiving interest from NCAA Division I programs like Boise State, Oregon State and Montana, she quickly opted to be a Coyote.

“I was like, ‘No, this is the place I want to go,’” Holt said after meeting McCurry, the team and the coaching staff.

McCurry’s coaching would have a huge impact on Holt, but her own desire turned an underrated high school runner into a two-time NAIA national champion.

“Part of me kinda just got sick of being in the background and being overlooked and I decided when I’d come to college I would make a name for myself and that I was going to make every school that over-looked me regret it, and I think I’m doing that so far,” Holt said.

In May, she claimed her first national title, winning the outdoor 1,500 in 4:30.10 in Marion, Ind. She backed that up by claiming the individual national title in cross country in November in Vancouver, Wash.

Now the C of I junior is in Gene-va, Ohio at the NAIA Indoor Nation-al Championships looking to add to her championship resume as she enters this weekend’s title meet No. 1 in the mile (by 12 seconds) and No. 1 in the 3,000 (by 4 seconds).

She’ll also compete for the Coy-otes No. 1 distance medley relay (by 21 seconds), with the potential of winning three more titles.

“I want to show every high school runner out there that maybe you didn’t win all the state titles and weren’t the most glorified runner, that you can still be incredible, you can still be a great athlete, you just have to work hard for it, you have to work really, really hard for it.”

That’s been the key in Holt’s transformation into a national champion — which began when McCurry set her goal to win the 1,500 as a sophomore.

It was a huge goal after Holt frac-tured her fibula during the indoor season last winter.

Now Holt has two champion-ship plaques on her desk where she can see them daily and be inspired, helping drive her average week of running six to seven hours over five days a week, then training the other two days in the pool.

It’s all to drive her to achieve even more, like a team title in the distance medley relay.

“I want to help my teammates achieve some of that success,” she said.

Or to become the most deco-rated Coyote individual national champion of all time.

“That would be really, really, re-ally special to me, I would really love to do that,” said Holt, whose is chasing the four individual titles of snowboarder Evan Williams (2005-08) and skier Brent LaBounty (1986-87).

Or even make it to the U.S. Na-tional meet.

“Whatever it is,” Holt said of her future goals, even beyond college, “when I decide not to run any more I want to know I lived up to my po-tential and I did everything I could with running.”

Then, the formerly underrated Maverick runner can sit back and enjoy the rewards for her hard work.

Holt State wrestling recap

Three individual champions, 18 placers and a 5A record of 318.5 points led Centennial’s dominating run as state champions.

“I don’t know if I expected that record-setting number of points” said Centennial coach Collin Robertson, whose team finished 86.5 points ahead of second-place Post Falls. “It’s excit-ing.”

Centennial 138-pounder Hayden Tuma won his third-straight state title, the first in the school’s history to ac-complish the feat. Also, 220-pounder Jon Fisher won his second consecutive title and 145-pounder Jon-Jay Chavez (145) won his first.

It’s the program’s first title since 2007.

PLUGGED IN

This spring, students from Re-naissance High School will gradu-ate with an international bacca-laureate degree in one hand and an associate degree in the other.

At Meridian, Central and Eagle academies, students choose to at-tend an educational program that helps them achieve their goal to graduate from high school.

At the Meridian Professional Center, students can enroll in programs that will help them begin careers as welders, mechanics, pharmacy technicians or veterinar-ians.

At Ponderosa Elementary, stu-dents with hearing impairments can choose to attend a special pro-gram that helps foster their learning success.

The Meridian Joint School District No. 2 has a long tradi-tion of offering school choice. We began fi rst by offering programs for at-risk high school students in the early ‘90s and have expanded that program to include Crossroads and Pathways middle schools.

In the mid-90s we began offering school calendar choices for parents with the opening of Pioneer, Seven Oaks, Spalding and Chaparral elementary schools.

In the late 1990s we began expanding choices for high school students with the Dehryl Dennis Professional Technical School, a partnership school with the Boise School District that allows high school students to pursue interests in welding, auto body, repair, electronics and other profes-sional technical fi elds.

In fall 2004, the district broke more new ground with the opening of Chris-tine Donnell School of the Arts, the fi rst magnet school in Idaho. The educational opportunities have accelerated ever since: Pioneer Elemen-tary School of the Arts,

Eagle Elementary School of the Arts, Galileo Math and Science STEM Academy (imagine a school where the engineering curriculum begins in kindergarten), Sum-merwind Math and Science STEM Academy (envision a school where students begin in-depth study of environmental science in elemen-tary school), Spalding Math and Technology STEM Academy (where elementary students learn, among other things, about video produc-tion), Lowell Scott Middle School’s Primera Art Magnet, Andrus and Mary McPherson Gifted and Tal-ented Magnets — the list literally goes on and on.

Our district remains committed to offering students and their fami-lies educational choices. Next fall, our next choice school, the Barbara Morgan STEM Academy, will open, offering a new area in our district educational options for its students.

Our schools of choice are highly successful and have waiting lists for enrollment. Our district currently has about the same number of stu-dents attending magnet schools of choice as all the students in all the state’s charter schools combined. At the same time, while we know that there are about 8,000 students in a school of choice in Joint School District No. 2, there are also the parents of 27,000 students who have made the conscious and deliber-ate choice to stay at their children’s home school because they recog-

nize these are high-quality schools, and they love it

there, too. In the end, if the

goal is choice — choice for all kids — school districts are uniquely positioned

to offer it, and we do.

Linda Clark is superinten-dent of the Meridian Joint

School District No. 2.

What’s the fi rst thing that comes to mind when you think of Meridian Parks and Recreation? Is it all the great amenities at Settlers Park? Is it the beautiful new Julius M. Kleiner Memo-rial Park?

Those answers would be understandable because those parks are a wonderful part of Meridian’s park system and are tremendous assets to our community, but Meridian Parks and Recreation is so much more than just great parks.

We plan fun camps for the children in our community. We want to give kids great parks to spend time in, but we also want to make sure they have something exciting to do.

Later this month we have two spring break camps for 6- to 10-year-olds and 11- to 14-year-olds. Our camps are always hands-on and get kids active. We play games outside, make arts and crafts, go on fi eld trips — we even do science projects.

Some people are also surprised when they learn we offer community classes. We teach sign language and sports classes for preschoolers, music and drawing lessons for kids, dance and watercolor classes for adults, we even teach classes like yoga and zumba to help you stay in shape. Our list of classes goes on and on. We make sure there is something everyone in your family will enjoy.

The Parks and Recreation Department is also responsible for organizing community sports leagues. We offer softball, volleyball, basketball, fl ag football, even dodgeball.

If you want to play softball this spring, now is the time to start organizing your team. We offer co-ed and men’s slow-pitch softball leagues. And with over 100 teams in our league, you can always fi nd a division that is right for your ability level.

If you want to play, don’t wait too long to sign up. The dead-line to register is March 22.

Our city’s wonderful parks are just a part of Meridian Parks and Recreation. Remember, next time you want to learn a new skill, introduce your kids to a sport or you want to start playing a sport again, keep us in mind. If you have any questions, please visit www.meridi-ancity.org/parks_rec or give us a call at 888-3579. We hope to see you out and about in one of our parks or at one of the activities we offer soon!

Colin Moss is the Meridian Parks and Recre-ation Department’s recreation coordinator.

s lanted Rock Brewing Co., which opened New Year’s Eve in Meridian, was born out of

struggle.“I basically got to the

point that I hit a brick wall and I realized that what I was doing was not good for my life anymore,” owner Alesa Lonseth said, who left her job at Micron Technolo-gy to open Slanted Rock with her husband, Bob Lonseth.

The tech industry was all she knew, which made the switch scary, she said, but worth it. Bob still works as a software engineer at Micron.

“There was something strong in me saying that this was what we needed to do and that we would be suc-cessful at it, and I don’t doubt that to this day,” Lonseth said. “We’ve had multiple people come in here and go,

‘Wow, you guys are just blessed at how well this is going.’”

The brewing company has

four beer selections sold in-house and in almost two dozen local restaurants, such as Gino’s, Brewforia, Cheerleaders, Big Al’s, Red Robin, Bittercreek and Flat-bread.

The beer has been well-received.“Boise’s an IPA-driven town, a lot of people love the IPAs here,

but our Red, the dark ale, everything we’ve put out there has had great a response,” sales and marketing manager Amy Wardle said.

Slanted Rock doesn’t offer food, but Wardle books a food truck almost every Friday and Saturday evening. When the weather gets warmer, expect patio seating and live music.

It would have been cheaper to follow the trend of opening a brewery in Garden City, Lonseth said, but as Meridian residents, Alesa and Bob wanted to support their community.

The leap of faith seems to be paying off.“To me it was a God thing — he has a way of making people

pay attention to what he wants, and he wanted me to change di-rections,” she said. “...You have an idea and you have a concept in your brain, but actually seeing it materialize and now the accep-tance of the beer and the quality of the product we’re putting out, it’s just amazing.”

Camp Bow Wow pet sitting, boarding celebrates grand opening

MERIDIAN — Camp Bow Wow, a pet sitting and boarding service, will celebrate its grand opening in Me-ridian with a ribbon cutting March 5.

Dogs can spend the day or stay overnight at Camp Bow Wow where they get attention from “Certifi ed Camp Counselors,” while getting exercise and interacting with other dogs.

Locals help break record for Dump Hunger food donation drive

MERIDIAN — Boise and Meridian residents and businesses donated 213,706 pounds of food for the Idaho Foodbank in the fi fth annual Dump Hunger initiative.

Western states collected a total of 769,462 pounds of food for nonprofi ts — enough to fi ll the beds of 10 dump trucks and set a new record — and various companies contributed thousands of dollars, blowing the cam-paign’s expectations out of the water.

To date, Dump Hunger has received more than 2.75 million pounds of food.
