If terror remains the most vividmemory from Sept. 11, 2001, thenresilience emerged as the mostforceful message on the 10thanniversary.

In a series of solemn gestures,amid a ceremony steeped in sym-bolism, community leaders gath-ered beneath a crystalline sky Sept.11 to remember the 2,977 peoplelost in the attacks, and the morethan 6,000 military personnelfelled in Afghanistan and Iraqsince then.

“This is a time to remember thevictims of Sept. 11, as well asremember those who risk theirlives every day to protect ours,”Mayor Ava Frisinger said in astirring speech to the crowdassembled on the IssaquahCommunity Center lawn. “Myhope — and it’s an ongoing one —is that we as a nation and as com-munities may live without fear

and act without fear.”The experience on a sun-

splashed afternoon echoed a vigilfrom the day of the attacks, whenstunned residents gathered onthe same spot for a sunset cere-mony.

The crowd at the 10th anniver-sary, about 200 people strong, didnot match the attendance fromthen.

In the opening prayer, EastsideFire & Rescue Chaplain Mike Ryansaid 9/11 served as the catalyst for“this age of terror and thesemoments of remembrance” — a

theme repeated throughout theremembrance ceremony.

The ceremony, and others incities from coast to coast, acted asa bookend to calamitous decadestretching from a cloudlessSeptember morning. The citizensand leaders gathered outside onthe unseasonably warm afternoonfocused less on the attacks andmore on the unity Americansforged in the restive days after-ward.

“During such a dark time in ournation’s history, nonetheless wesaw signs of hope, resilience andlove, both throughout this countryand here in Issaquah,” Frisingersaid.

In the hours after the attacks, assigns pointed to al-Qaida terroristsas the perpetrators and a nationgirded for war, local churcheshosted services for people tomourn.

Eastside Fire & Rescue stafferswould receive a 2 percent raiseevery year through 2014 under alabor agreement that will go beforethe agency’s board Sept. 19.

Craig Hooper, president of IAFF2878, the firefighters union thatalso represents battalion chiefsand office staffers, said the 2 per-cent wage increase garnered thesupport of about 70 percent ofunion members. The EFR boardmust approve the agreementbefore it takes effect.

EFR Chief Lee Soptich confirmedthat the new labor contract —technically an extension of the oldcontract — contains automaticwage increases, but declined tocomment on the specifics until itcame before the board.

The contract had called for wageincreases to be determined bycomparing EFR firefighters’salaries to those of neighboringdepartments and averaging thenumbers out. In past years thathas led to wage hikes as large as 3or 4 percent. With the recessionsqueezing the budgets of EFR’spartner cities — Issaquah,Sammamish and North Bend —the union agreed to forgo thatcomparison process the last twoyears. Wages were frozen in 2010and tied to the cost of living in2011, meaning a one-fifth of 1 per-

cent increase.Fire admin-

istration offi-cials warnedS a m m a m i s hrepresentativesearlier thisyear that theunion may seekto “recapture”some of thewage increasesdelayed due tothe recession.

Hooper said the board came tothe union to offer the 2 percentincreases for the next three years.Though it’s not as big of a wageincrease as the union was gettingbefore the recession and likely isn’tas large as it could be if they hadused the normal comparison sys-tem, Hooper said 2 percent is agood compromise.

“If we had done (the comparisonsystem) we probably would havecome out a little bit higher,” hesaid. “But we’re satisfied with (2percent) based on what’s going onin the economy.”

The union also agreed to extendthe existing labor agreement,which expires this year, ratherthan start from scratch on a newdocument. Hooper had been hope-ful that they could renegotiate fire-fighters’ work schedules as part of

The steeply angled roofs andstreet-side rain garden attractattention to the townhouses alongNortheast High Street.

The effect is deliberate, becausethe 10-townhouse complex, calledzHome, is designed to encouragepeople to explore and rethinknotions about “green” living. Theproject is the first carbon-neutraland zero-energy multifamily com-munity in the United States.

“The way I think about it is, peo-ple don’t go out and buy a 1920s

adding machine if they need a com-puter, they don’t go out and buy aModel T if they need a car,” zHomeProject Manager Brad Liljequistsaid. “They go out and buy a 1920sbungalow, sure, and, partiallythat’s because they’re not all thatdifferent from a new house.”

But zHome, from the pebblyfloor surface made from recycledtennis balls to the glinting photo-voltaic panels on the rooftops, ismeant to upend traditional ideasabout homebuilding.

The homes’ net carbon footprintis meant to be as minimal as possi-ble. The complex is designed to use60 percent less water than a tradi-tional counterpart.

After passing their latest districtspending plan, Issaquah schoolofficials quickly stated that despitefunding cuts and the overall eco-nomic downturn, local class sizeshad remained the same.

“We were able to retain our classsizes from the prior year’s budgetcycle,” said Jake Kuper, IssaquahSchool District chief of finance andoperations.

That may be true, according toPhyllis Runyon, president of the

Issaquah Education Association,the local teachers union.

But Runyon also said teachersstill are struggling with oversizedclasses throughout the district. Sheadded there are at least a few over-loaded classes in every buildingand also talked about class sizeproblems at specific schools and inspecific grade levels.

14 CONSECUTIVEYEARS!

1996-2010


On Sept. 11, as families of peo-ple killed in the attack on theWorld Trade Center filed to thememorial site to mark 10 yearssince the tragedy, Issaquah resi-dent Elizabeth Case emergedfrom the security cordon andheaded uptown.

“Everything is a little bit qui-eter,” she said as Manhattan set-tled into a strange rhythm early inthe afternoon. “I think people wholive in New York are hanging outat home or doing family thingstoday or don’t want to be there.”

The “there” she referred to isground zero, a 16-acre site forev-er changed on a Tuesday morninga decade ago. President BarackObama and former PresidentGeorge W. Bush marked theanniversary at a ground zeromemorial to the 2,606 peoplekilled in the World Trade Centertowers.

Case joined husband Jeremiahon a business trip to Manhattan.The trip dates and the 9/11anniversary coincided.

The accommodations for thetrip turned out to be a Marriott inthe Financial District across thestreet from ground zero. Officialsincreased security in the city asthe anniversary approached, andtightened the restrictions furtheraround ground zero on theanniversary.

“I’ve never seen so many fire-fighters or cops in an entire placein my life,” Elizabeth Case saidfrom the line for “The Book ofMormon” — a hot-ticket Broadwayshow. “I’ve never felt safer.”

Even a trip downstairs at thehotel for morning coffee broughtthe Cases into the massive securi-ty net tossed across LowerManhattan.

Manhattan did not seem asbustling as usual, Case said, per-haps due to the date being theanniversary, a Sunday and a nice,late-summer day.

“We’re Americans — that’s ourconnection to any of it. We don’t

know anybody personally,” shesaid. “The best thing we can do isget out of the way and let the folkswho need to be there, be there.”

Still, the experience offered asingular — if unexpected — per-spective on the 10-years anniver-sary.

“We just happen to be here forwork and we just happen to bestaying across from ground zero,”she added.

that day, and those services gavepeople a way to place turning theirfear and their anger into hope andappreciation for each other,”Frisinger said as jetliner rumbledoverhead — a sound unheard inthe days after 9/11 as planes satidle under orders from the FederalAviation Administration.

Bill Lokey, a leading emergencyofficial responsible for managingthe long-term recovery from theNisqually earthquake before theattacks, reached the chaotic sceneat ground zero days after the tow-ers crumbled.

Lokey — accustomed to grimlandscapes in areas impacted bynatural and manmade disasters,

including the Oklahoma Citybombing in 1995 — faced a scaleof destruction unseen before.The rubble pile loomed tallerthan the Alfred P. MurrahFederal Building in OklahomaCity.

“One of the things that struck alot of us was, as a difference fromOklahoma City — where in therubble there were desks andporcelain sinks and things like that— at 9/11, it was all twisted steeland dust,” he said at the Issaquahceremony.

Boy Scouts in khaki-and-oliveuniforms, Veterans of ForeignWars members in pin-bedeckedcaps, and firefighters and policeofficers in dress uniforms —pressed and polished for the cer-emony — mingled alongsideattendees in ball caps and sun-glasses to reflect the glare.Glassblowers from artbyfire cre-ated enough multicolored floats

— etched to include a remem-brance message — for everyattendee on the community cen-ter lawn.

The ceremony included gesturesmade more familiar in the erasince 9/11 — a bagpiper playing“Amazing Grace,” Issaquah HighSchool Navy Junior ROTC mem-bers firing off a booming 21-gunsalute, and a tribute to emergencyresponders at the attack sites andin Issaquah.

“If it weren’t for the courage andthe strength and the love that isshown by these people,” Frisingersaid as firefighters and police offi-cers sat in folding chairs in therows closest to the stage, “wewould not be able to live withouttrepidation in our own communi-ties.”

The decade since 9/11 hasreshaped how Issaquah and KingCounty leaders prepare for disas-ters and manage the response toemergencies.

The attacks also meantincreased attention — and dollars— for emergency managementefforts, although local officials saidthe initial focus on counterterror-ism sidelined plans about otherdangers, such as floods and earth-quakes.

“All of the sudden there was abig focus on emergency manage-ment in general. That was goodnews from an emergency manage-ment perspective,” said BretHeath, city public works opera-tions and emergency managementdirector. “The bad news is that itshifted from all hazards to almoststrictly terrorism immediately fol-lowing 9/11.”

Issaquah planners focused onmore common emergencies —floods, snowstorms, windstormsand the like — in the years beforethe attacks.

“We had to really try hard to stayfocused on all hazards because ofthe federal-level push for terror-ism,” Heath said. “Fortunately,logic prevailed and they realizedthat terrorism is one of the haz-ards. It’s not the only hazard.”

The threat from terrorism exists,of course, although officials said aterrorist strike is not a top concernin the city.

“If you’re looking at it from a tar-get perspective, we don’t have a lotof high-profile targets inIssaquah,” Heath said.

Leaders also participated in

elaborate exercises to map outresponses to disasters. Mayor AvaFrisinger recalled a scenariomeant to test plans to keep localgovernment open if a natural ormanmade disaster left top city offi-cials dead.

Frisinger “died” in the mockincident. (If the mayor is unable toserve, executive power passes tothe City Council president.)

Other exercises illustrated theneed for closer collaborationamong local government agencies.

“We found that we needed tohave more coordination with com-munications,” Frisinger said. “Ittold us that, not only within citygovernment, but that we needed tobe able to communicate and coor-dinate with, for instance, theschool district.”

Officials also boosted outreachefforts to residents by installingelectronic message boards, addingmore updates to the municipalradio station and hiring a commu-nications coordinator.

“One of the biggest problemsduring emergencies is informingpeople about what’s going on, evenif it’s something that’s very dis-tressing,” Frisinger said. “The lackof information is frightening topeople.”

The attacks a decade ago alsounleashed a torrent of federal dol-lars for agencies to purchase emer-gency equipment and assembledisaster response plans.

Issaquah received about$100,000 through the Urban AreasSecurity Initiative — a FederalEmergency Management Agencyprogram set up to addressresponse needs — to improvesecurity at municipal facilities.Other grants funded communica-

tions equipment for the city andrescue equipment for Eastside Fire& Rescue, plus decontaminationequipment at nearby hospitals.

“There was kind of a mantrathat if you weren’t involved incounterterrorism, you probablyweren’t going to get funding,” saidHillman Mitchell, King CountyOffice of Emergency Managementdirector.

Communication among emer-gency response agencies — a con-cern in the confused days after the9/11 attacks — also emerged as afocus.

“One of the things that welearned from the tragedy of 9/11 isthat we had too many isolatedmeans of communication, so manyof the first responders that losttheir lives that day, that was due inpart to a lack of common commu-nication,” Mitchell said.

Officials said King County andlocal agencies emphasized interop-erability for communications sys-tems before the attacks.

“In King County and across ourregion, our emergency communi-cation systems are far more inter-operable, which means that duringan emergency, a police officer inone city can easily talk to a firechief in another,” Mitchell said.

EFR Deputy Chief Bud Backersaid disaster response plansencompass the region — Pierceand Snohomish counties, in addi-tion to King County — for a reason.

“We recognize that if there’s anattack, then it’s going to take theresources from our entire region toanswer it,” he said.

Citizens can offer input on a planto transform Issaquah’s businessdistrict in the decades ahead.

Longtime Issaquah developerRowley Properties is proposing to along-term plan to redevelop about80 acres along Northwest GilmanBoulevard and state Route 900from a commercial and light-industrial district into a mixed-use,pedestrian-oriented neighborhood.

The municipal PlanningDepartment issued a draft environ-mental review for the plan to rede-velopment Hyla Crossing andRowley Center on Aug. 31. Thereview, or environmental impactstatement, illustrates possibleimpacts on storm water, traffic,views and more.

Rowley Properties and city plan-ners embarked on a bold effort inApril 2010 to redevelop HylaCrossing and Rowley Center in

Central Issaquah.The city is in the midst of a par-

allel effort to define redevelopmentin 915-acre Central Issaquah in thecoming decades. The agreement toredevelop the Rowley Propertiesland is seen as critical to the over-all redevelopment push.

The city is hosting a public openhouse on the draft environmentalimpact statement Sept. 21. Themeeting is meant to provide infor-mation about the review, but thecity is not accepting verbal com-ments at the meeting.

Then, to address commentsfrom the public, planners preparea final environmental impactstatement for the City Council.The council then uses the reviewto make a final decision on theproposed development agreementbetween the city and RowleyProperties.

King County leaders bolsteredefforts to combat street gangs latelast month and directed $1.4 mil-lion from a law-enforcement emer-gency fund to confront a rise ingang violence.

The funds aid prosecutors, sher-iff’s deputies and communityorganizations in anti-gang efforts.The county intends to add threedeputy prosecutors and a paralegalfocused solely on gang-relatedcases. Plans call for the KingCounty Sheriff’s Office to receiveadditional equipment and training.

County Council members createdthe law-enforcement emergencyfund last year to address unfore-seen criminal justice needs.

Councilwoman Kathy Lambert,Issaquah’s representative, joinedCounty Executive DowConstantine, Prosecutor DanSatterberg and other leaders Aug.30 to announce the initiative. Thecouncil agreed to fund the initiativea week later.

“We want King County to be afamily-friendly and gang-unfriend-ly area,” she said after theannouncement. “We’re taking thisvery seriously. We’re not putting upwith it.”

Lambert said the gang-relatedshootout at Lake Sammamish State

Park in July 2010 also influencedthe decision to confront gang vio-lence. The lethal gun battle left a33-year-old Kent man and a 30-year-old Seattle man dead.

“It used to be that gangs had aneighborhood that they lived inand now they go all over theplace,” she said.

Officials rolled out the initiative alittle more than a month after ashooting at a Kent car showwounded 12 people. Police said aretaliatory shooting later injured a13th person.

Satterberg and Sheriff Sue Rahrsaid crime related to gang activityincreased 165 percent since 2005even as overall crime decreased.The county experienced 29 gang-related killings and 200 reportedgang-related shootings in 2008-09.

“This comprehensive proposal tofund dedicated gang prosecutors isa rapid response to an escalatingthreat to public safety,” Satterbergsaid in a statement. “It will allowmy office to build strong casesagainst the leaders of violent gangsand at the same time fund pro-grams for at-risk youth, so that wecan offer them an alternative to thegang life.”

Leaders ‘want to break that cycle’Officials estimate as many as

10,000 gang members in about140 gangs reside in King County.

Lambert and CouncilwomanJulia Patterson, a South KingCounty representative, said thenexus for gang activity is alongstate Route 99.

“We were concerned that wewere getting a lot of out-of-stategangs, but what we’re finding isthat that isn’t so,” Lambert said.“We are getting out-of-state gangs,but that isn’t exclusively wherethey’re coming from. A lot of themare our own Washingtonians thatare second- and third-generationgang members. So, Momma andGrandma and Granddad are allgang members, too. We want tobreak that cycle.”

The anti-gang initiative also pro-vides funding for social servicesmeant to steer at-risk Latinoyouths in South King County awayfrom gangs.

“In the long run we know wecannot arrest our way out of thisproblem, so this proposal balancesgang suppression with investmentsin tried-and-true solutions thatgive youth an opportunity for ahealthy start, an education and

employment — known factors thatreduce crime and gang involve-ment,” Constantine said in a state-ment.

Eastside residents contactedLambert’s office to call for actionagainst gang violence before theproblem worsened elsewhere in thecounty. In addition to Issaquah, sherepresents Redmond, Sammamishand the Snoqualmie Valley.

“They want it stopped. Theywant to make sure that it’s takenseriously,” she said. “I think thisreally responds to the fact that weare taking it very seriously.”

Plan bolsters prosecutor, sheriffThe other Issaquah-area repre-

sentative on the council,Councilman Reagan Dunn, andCouncilman Larry Phillips sent aletter to Constantine in earlyAugust requesting additional fundsfor prosecutors to confront gangviolence in South King County.

“As soon as I heard about thedeveloping gang war, I knew thiswas something that King Countyneeded to jump on right away,”Dunn said in a statement issuedAug. 30. “This level of violence inour communities cannot be tolerat-ed. I applaud Prosecutor Satterbergfor raising this issue quickly andmy colleagues for acting decisively.”

The allocation to Satterberg’soffice represents the largest piece— $456,000 — in the $1.4 millioninitiative. The plan calls for thesheriff’s office to receive $30,000for equipment and training,$179,000 to reopen the policestorefront in crime-plagued White

Center and $15,000 to fund out-reach efforts to the Latino commu-nity.

“The actions being taken by theexecutive and the council are athoughtful approach to an ongoingproblem, and we sincerely appre-ciate their working closely withthe King County Sheriff’s Office,”Rahr said in a statement. “Thiswill help our deputies and detec-tives do their jobs even better.”

Officials said agencies and

organizations can quickly imple-ment the efforts outlined in theanti-gang initiative.

“The problem is emerging quick-ly and our actions must be swift,”Constantine said. “We cannot andwe will not tolerate the criminalactivities of gangs in our communi-ties.”


King County leaders commit $1.4 million to combat gangsBY THE NUMBERS

King County leaders committed morethan $1.4 million Aug. 30 to criminaljustice agencies and social-serviceprograms to combat gang violence:�$456,000 to expand the KingCounty prosecutor’s anti-gang unitby supporting three deputy prosecu-tors and a paralegal focused solelyon gang-related cases.�$30,000 for equipment for theKing County Sheriff’s Office gangunit, including ballistic vests, binocu-lars, video equipment, training andsoftware for video enhancement,and supplies used to serve arrestand search warrants.�$179,000 to reopen a sheriff’soffice storefront in White Center, apresence eliminated in the 2011county budget.�$15,000 to continue funding for

the sheriff’s office’s Latino educationoutreach program for young mothersand other family members. The pro-gram focuses on gang preventionand keeping young children safefrom gang recruitment and activity.�$312,500 to add two nurses tothe Nurse Family PartnershipProgram, a Public Health – Seattle &King effort to help high-risk mothersand keep them out of the criminaljustice system.�$309,000 to restore two casemanagers for the Back to Schooland Employment Training Program toprovide education and employmenttraining for young offenders in SouthKing County.�$137,500 to continue funding forthe Avanza project, a training pro-gram for Latino youths at risk ofdropping out of school or falling intothe juvenile justice system.

Offer input on plan to redevelop business district

Beaver Middle Lake MiddleSchool, Runyon said. She alsotalked about crowded conditionsin secondary music classes.

Orchestra classes should haveabout 36 children each, she said.Instead, she said some classeshave between 40 and 56 stu-dents. That many students in oneroom put a real strain on teach-ers, she continued.

“The electives are really takingthe brunt of this,” Runyon said.

Runyon said district officialshave agreed to send help to“hotspots” around the district.

“Hopefully, we’ll hear that we’llhave extra orchestra teachers,”she said.

According to Kuper, the helpbeing sent consists of paraeduca-tors or teachers when they areavailable. He did not address anyspecific problems.

There are always a few classesout of whack, Kuper said, addingthat, “Students don’t come in per-fect ratios.”

According to Sara Niegowski,district director of communica-tions, the schools have about theusual number of classes at over-load.

At a school board meeting ear-lier this month, Runyon asked theadministration to reinstate the

benefits that teachers, under cer-tain circumstances, can collect incase of crowded classes. Boardmembers made no comment andtook no action on Runyon’srequest.

Runyon later explained that bycontract, potential overload bene-fits for teachers consist of educa-tional assistance or added pay.She also said the current teacherscontract has “horrible” languageallowing the district to waiveoverload benefits under certaincircumstances, including the lossof state funds and in case ofteacher layoffs.

According to Kuper, Issaquahschools have lost a total of about$16 million in state dollars overthe last three years. Althoughthey eventually all were calledback, the district began its budg-et process by planning for aworst-case scenario and sliced 36teacher positions.

The district does have student-teacher ratios it tries to maintain.For kindergarten through secondgrade, there should be 21 stu-dents for every one teacher. Forgrades three to five, the numbersare 25 to 1, and for grades sixthrough eight, 25.5 to 1. Theratios are all plus or minus threestudents, Kuper said. Once classsizes exceed those numbers, theoverload clause in the teachers’contract could kick in.

For secondary students, Kupersaid setting class ratios becomesmuch more difficult. Studentshave more electives and morechoice in their schedules.

“We always want lower,”Niegowski said in regard to classsizes. But she added the districtadministration is proud it wasable to maintain class sizes, con-tending many districts raised stu-dent to teacher ratios as amoney-saving measure.

On the last day allowed by statelaw, the Issaquah School Board onAug. 31 passed its 2011-2012budget.

The overall plan includes expendi-tures of $287.7 million, includinggeneral fund spending of $161.5million, according to district Chief ofFinance and Operations Jake Kuper.

As with most governmentalbudgets, the general fund pays forthe day-to-day operations of thedistrict and includes items likeclass materials and salaries.

Outside of the general fund, theoverall budget includes $1.5 mil-lion for the purchase of new buses,$68.2 million for capital improve-ments, $49.5 million for debt serv-ice and a $7 million allocation forspending by student groups.

During the recent board discus-

sion, board member ChadMagendanz warned that Olympialegislators still could have somesurprises in store for the district.Magendanz said he has seen hintsthat a special session of theLegislature could occur withadjustments to the state budget atthe top of the agenda.

If that happens, Magendanzfears Issaquah and other districtsacross the state could see cuts infunding, what he termed “claw-backs.” The district is doing what-ever it can not to be surprised bystate cuts, Superintendent SteveRasmussen said.

“We are very connected toOlympia,” he said. “We want to beprepared.”

In anticipation of possible budg-et slicing by the state, Kuper saidthe district has set aside a contin-gency fund of $1.5 million. He wasmore fearful of changes in local

levy structure, changes that mightprevent the schools from collectingdollars included in the budget.

In the past, Kuper and others saidthe Issaquah schools weathered thecurrent financial storm and theaccompanying state cuts better thansome other districts. That waslargely thanks to voter approval of alevy lid lift, Kuper has said.

As announced by the district inlate May, while state funding to localschools dropped $4.3 million, Kupersaid the lid lift and other cost-cuttingmeasures allowed the district torecall teachers handed layoff noticesin the spring. Officials promisedclass sizes would remain the same,but that still may be a growing issue.

Just before they passed thebudget, the board was blasted foroversized classes. IssaquahEducation Association PresidentPhyllis Runyon asked the board torestore so-called overload dollars

paid to teachers. The board tookno action on the request.

While the district officialsbragged that no teachers were cutin the current budget, some cutswere made in other areas. Studentathletes also saw fee increases.

According to Kuper and SaraNiegowski, executive director ofcommunications, Issaquah schoolscut the equivalent of five full-timecustodial staffers. As for highschool athletic fees, players willnow pay $150 per sport, up from$120. Students who take part inmultiple sports will pay a maxi-mum fee of $300.

Middle school athletes will notsee any fee increases. Other feeincreases were aimed at all-daykindergarten classes.

Issaquah School Board adopts $287.7 million budget

Police arrest 1,824 for DUIduring recent crackdown

Officers from the IssaquahPolice Department and otherlaw enforcement agencies inthe state arrested more than1,800 motorists for drunkendriving during the DriveHammered, Get Nailed enforce-ment campaign from Aug. 19 toSept. 5.

In King County, officers onroutine and extra patrolsarrested 452 motorists for driv-ing under the influence of alco-hol or drugs, and statewide, lawenforcement officers arrested1,824 drivers for DUI.

Officials said more than 40percent of the DUI traffic deathsoccur in Washington during thesummer.

The funding for extra patrolsoriginated as a grant from theWashington Traffic SafetyCommission.

For the second consecutive time, Eastside Fire &Rescue firefighters have stepped up and realizedthe gravity of the larger economic situation duringcontract negotiations. This time around, they’veagreed, with no acrimony, to a three-year contract

with 2 percent annual raises.It’s a reasonable pay increase for uncertain economic

times. The firefighters also agreed to opt out of the usualpractice of factoring in the salaries of other area depart-ments when considering what their raise should be.

They were also willing to drop the issue of changing theirwork schedule from contract talks, realizing the stickingpoint might hold up the overall contract. We hope the unionand EFR board can reach an agreement on this issue, oneway or the other, without the motivating factor of the con-tract.

Last time around, it was the firefighters who researchedhealth insurance plans and found a cheaper alternative, sav-ing firefighter jobs and taxpayer money in the process.

Locking in a three-year contract also has a side benefit.The agreement that created the multiagency EFR expires in2014. Without the distraction of labor negotiations, partnerscan focus on how best to continue forward, either in part-nership or separately.

Wildfire threat is no jokeThe unusual hot, dry spell of the last two weeks has turned

lawns dry and dead leaves and downed branches even drier.The opportunity for wildfires in your own backyard is veryreal.

Until there is a good, soaking rain, the danger will con-tinue. EFR responded last week to a brush fire in Klahanie,just north of Issaquah. The cause is unknown, but the firewould not have spread so quickly nor so far if not for a goodfuel supply of dry debris.

EFR officials suggest doing a little cautionary cleaningaround your home, watch where you dispose of cigarettebutts and be wary of overzealous barbecues. Better safethan sorry.

Thank you,firefighters

Hyla Crossing master site plan

Rowley has made changes thatare bad for the future of the creek

I have been reading the draft Rowley devel-opment agreement and I am totally disheart-ened. As the letter to the editor said lastweek, the Rowleys had committed to eithermove Tibbetts Creek or provide a 100-footbuffer to the creek in the Hyla master siteplan.

In the new draft development agreement,which allows for enormous density increases,Rowley is now requiring the city to “share” inthe cost of moving the creek. In the Hyla mas-ter site plan it was on their dime. Further,Rowley has simply redrawn the buffer linedown to about 10 feet, a 90-foot reduction inbuffer from the prior commitment. They aretotally ignoring the 100-foot wetland buffer asif it doesn’t exist.

This is a terrible thing.Our poor creeks and wetlands are not going

to get through this very well. Remember, whatRowley gets to do, the entire Central IssaquahArea gets to do.

I was so hoping for improvement.

Sustainability

It’s just another attempt to centralizegovernment control over our lives

I was appalled after reading in the IssaquahCity News about our attempted rights tram-pling by some city employees and their ac-complices using the “sustainability” Trojanhorse.

The tactic of sustainable communities firstsurfaced at a conference of watermelons(green on the outside and red on the inside) inBrazil in 1992, then it was promoted by theUN, then it slithered into the federal system atHUD with the first director of sustainable com-munities being Ron Sims! He’s the same per-son who destroyed your private propertyrights with the King County Critical Areas Or-dinance.

But sustainability is much more dangerous.It’s designed to rezone, downzone and up-

zone your property in ways that will effectivelystrip you of your property rights. Without thoserights you become a slave.

In a “sustainable” Issaquah, city employeeswould unconstitutionally control your energyconsumption, how much food you grow, howmuch you vote, how many “green” buildingsthere are, your food consumption, how muchyou volunteer, how much waste you produce,how much they can increase “open space,”whether you can drive your own car, yourhome sales price and “social justice.” Go here:www.ci.issaquah.wa.us/Files/SB%20Final%20Rpt.pdf.

In New York or here,the lesson is to love

Pundits and writers thisweek have been tryingto come up with someprofound things to sayabout the 10th anniver-

sary of the terrorist attacks onour country. What are the les-sons? What has changed?

Here is a lesson I feel I havelearned and would like to share,not only from the last 10 yearssince 9/11, but from my last 15years of being blessed with thiscareer at The Issaquah Press:

Love in the now. Love often.Don’t leave people guessing,make sure they know you lovethem.

One of our obituaries this weekis for Lillian Tucker, 81, of Is-saquah. “Auntie Lil” or “Mrs.Santa Claus” as I knew her, wasone of the first people I met herein 1996. She was famous for herholiday nutcracker collection andher love of the Seattle Mariners.She worked a number of years inthe deli at the Front Street Mar-ket, serving and smiling for hercustomers.

There have been so many peo-ple, some I was able to know andsome I wasn’t.

There was Ted Cook Jr., whowas named Issaquah Citizen ofthe Year one week and was gonethe next in a boating tragedy.There was Linda Ruehle, ourtown’s legendary city clerk. I got

to meet life-long Issaquahresidentssuch asOrville “Tiny”Campbell andhis wifeGeneva,Sunny andHooker Hail-stone, andLeonard“Chubby”Miles.

I rememberHarold and Myrtle Winslow, whoI met working here at The Press.Myrtle was an accountant herefor many years. I’m sitting in hervintage green Boeing-surplus of-fice chair right this moment.

There have been local peopleI’ve reported on, with names likeMary Johnsen, Kim Evanger,Rachel Beckwith and JoshWilliams, taken from us far toosoon.

I’ve been privileged to knowlocal teachers, like Ruth Roy andSteve Birdsall, who have passedon along with others.

There are also for me thecoworkers here at The Press,coming and going, very alive andvery dear, but some of them notseen since the day they left.

State changes emission testsIt’s amazing how unsafe vehicles are al-

lowed to drive in this state as long as theydon’t “pollute” the air. Cracked windshields,bald tires, duct-taped bodies are all right,but don’t dare let your car smoke a little.

Citizens throughout our nation are protestingand defeating this lawlessness in their commu-nities. Anyone supporting sustainable serfdomin Issaquah must not be elected.

King County Metro Transit fee

Editorial helped clarify a complexnegotiation for what worked for all

I just wanted to say thank you for youramazing and wonderful editorial on the car tabcompromise negotiation.

It was a most difficult decision, as we knewpeople would be angry at having an in-creased $20 fee and others would be angry ina few months when there were 120,000 lesshours of bus service on the Eastside and15,000 more cars in front of them on thehighway.

But I believe that the negotiation broughtmore transparency, cost efficiencies, fairnessand service to the Eastside and the overall sys-tem. The right-size busing is going to start inFebruary with three routes, and they believe itwill save $400,000 already that can be putback into more service.

The county is doing so well since Dow Con-stantine became executive with his manage-ment team to work on becoming one KingCounty with all needs being carefully consid-ered. So much has improved. I wish peoplecould see the difference between the countynow and the federal government. They wouldsee the county is becoming a role model for thefederal government in working together in acollaborative manner.

One point about the coupons for the rides —they will be distributed by household ratherthan by person. The distribution became somuch more expensive to do by driver thatmore rides could be given out if it was done byhousehold. That is a point that needs to be

clarified in people’s minds.We hope that people will use the coupons

and feel they got value from them that recoupssome of the money from each household, thatsome become regular bus riders reducing traf-fic for all and that everyone on the freeway willhave less car idle time in traffic burning gas.Those not wanting to use them can donatethem to a number of charities that get dis-counted coupons from the county, thereby re-ducing the money needed in the discountedcoupons account.

There were so many pieces to this negotia-tion that do not fit neatly into sound bites. Butthe many pieces is what made it a strong anduseful negotiation.

Again, thank you for your editorial.

National Museum of the U.S. Army

Help support new tribute toAmerican service members

For more than 236 years, we Americanshave owed our freedoms in part to the menand women of the United States Army.

Now, at long last, the American soldier willbe honored with the nation’s National Museumof the U.S. Army, near our nation’s Capitol.

Many members of our community haveproudly worn the uniform of the U.S. Army.As a founding sponsor to the museum, I askthat you help make everyone in our commu-nity aware of this long-overdue nationalproject by running a story about plans tobuild and open this important new museumon June 14, 2015, the Army’s 240th birth-day.

unit and a heat pump to pull heatfrom the earth to achieve carbonneutrality and zero net energyuse, hence the name zHome.

“During the summer, eachzHome will be, actually, a netenergy generator. It’s going tocreate way more energy than ituses in the summertime,”Liljequist said. “Then, in the win-tertime, which is when most ofthe energy use happens in our cli-mate because of lighting andheating and everything, it’ll drawfrom the grid.”

The city spearheaded the proj-ect and developers shoulderedthe $5.5 million constructioncost.

The complex is in the samemold as the house-of-the-futureexhibits at past World’s Fairs.Only, unlike the dioramas rootedin science fiction, zHome is readyfor occupants. Organizers expectresidents to settle in after theopen houses conclude.

“When people talk as thefuture, they talk about it in thetheoretical sense without beingable to attach that theory to prac-tice,” Built Green ExecutiveDirector Aaron Adelstein said.“This, I think, gives people a tan-gible demonstration that it’s beendone and this is how you do it.”

Built Green, a nonprofit off-shoot of the Master BuildersAssociation of King andSnohomish Counties, is a partnerin the zHome project.

“Part of what we’re trying to dois get the building industry up tospeed with the rest of the sectorsof the economy,” Liljequist said.“What’s interesting — and it’s

part of what we found with theproject — is that you can dothat.”

Overnight guests discover zHomeBefore the official opening,

Salmon Days Festival DirectorRobin Kelley, husband Oscar and18-year-old son Kelley Hailstonespent a night in No. 1739, a unitfurnished as a sales center.

The city invited the family inpart to demonstrate the differ-ences between a more traditionalIssaquah home and zHome.

The overnight occupants joinedLiljequist on a tour and thenreceived a key to the 1,700-square-foot home.

The smell — or lack thereof —attracted attention early. ThezHome team required strict limitson volatile organic compounds —the chemicals responsible for thedistinctive smell of paint — andother indoor pollutants.

“I keep thinking about howfresh the air smells in here, nothaving the off-gassing of the new-ness,” Oscar Kelley said.

Robin Kelley admired the blackswitches in each room to cutpower to idle electronics stillusing energy.

“From a consumer point ofview, we have so many things atour house — electronics and dif-ferent things — that are pluggedin, that I would love to have thatoption to have an on-off switch,”she said.

Recession imperils ambitious projectMayor Ava Frisinger and other

dignitaries gathered to launchzHome’s construction inSeptember 2008, on the sameday the stock market imploded.The collapse imperiled zHome, asbanks refused to finance con-struction.

“There were numerous banks

and people who would say, ‘Gosh,love it; can’t do it,’” Frisingersaid.

The fortunes changed last year,after Ichijo USA, a subsidiary of alarge Japanese homebuilder, andlocal developer Matt Howlandagreed to build zHome. Crewsstarted construction at theIssaquah Highlands site in April2010.

“It’s been a long and difficultroad to finally get the projectcompleted, so it’s part excite-ment, part relief,” Adelstein said.“We’ve put so much of our heartsinto making it happen — not justBuilt Green but all of the part-ners.”

The project presented dual chal-lenges for zHome architect DavidVandervort. The townhousesneeded to please the eye and fos-ter a comfortable environment,but zHome also required addition-al attention to bring it to fruition.

“Trying to do any kind of aproject that’s out of the box inthat sense through the maze ofjurisdictions and design reviewand putting this into a communi-ty that’s not used to this kind of aproject, I think brought somechallenges to the fore that wewere able to meet,” he said.

Stay nurtures ideas for improvmentsIn the morning, Robin Kelley

climbed a ladder to the loft abovethe master bedroom to proofsome festival documents.

The family noted the abundantnatural light pouring across theopen floor plan, and only usedlights during daytime in the bath-room.

“Before the sun really got hot,we were able to have the south-facing windows and sliding doorsopen, and we had a nice, littlebreeze, but when it started gettinghot, we closed that side and left

the back side open, and you canfeel the airflow,” Oscar Kelley said.

Robin Kelley said a flush on thelow-flow toilet could use moreoomph, but she said she did notnotice a difference due to the low-flow showerhead. The zHomeunits employ filtered rainwater toflush toilets and wash clothes.

Throughout the stay, theKelleys kept notes for possiblehome-improvement projects athome on Squak Mountain.

“We’re having to learn thisand shift our consciousness —because all of the things thatwe’ve done for 20 and 40 and60 years, all of the chemicals, allof the different things we didthat were improvements, or thatwe thought were improvements— because now we’re findingthat some of those things aredetrimental,” Robin Kelley said.


Elyse Edwards had the privilege of participating in the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Team program for her entire high school career at

Issaquah High…a program funded in part by the Issaquah Schools Foundation. The ability to design, fabricate andbuild mechanical systems with professional engineers, aswell as organize and lead large robotics projects, was theexperience that landed Elyse acceptance to theprestigious Johns Hopkins University’s MechanicalEngineering program-a program she will complete in 2013.

Elyse is just one of many success stories coming out ofour top-ranked Issaquah schools…and we know our great local school system is one of Issaquah’s most cherishedassets.

But great schools require additional annual funding andcreative involvement from the local business communityto support the ever-growing gap in state educationalfunding. In fact, without a strong business community,our schools, our local education foundations and ourstudents all suffer. A strong business community drivesthe economic vitality of Issaquah, thereby promoting a

healthy community and a prepared local and global workforce. Strong businesses are

critical ingredients to a strong school system.

As citizens and local businesses, we know that a solid education helps young people becomemature adults, successful professionals, and effective citizens. As partners in shaping ourcommunity, businesses invest in school programs that will make a difference, and support high learning standards as a means to improving education. We need to do everything we can tocreate a supportive environment for local businesses because Successful Issaquah Business

Means Successful Issaquah Schools.

So while we remember the ca-sualties of 9/11, the first respon-ders and our military servicemembers, better yet, let us lovethe ones still within our grasp!

A disaster with multiple casual-ties, whether natural or man-made, might lurk in the back-ground but is nearly always theexception to the rule in everydaylife.

Overwhelmingly, friends andloved ones come and go one at atime through the months andyears. And also overwhelmingly,we can’t guess when that last visitwill be.

So, I want to be ready everytime for the last time. For me, it’sOK to hug a man or woman. If it’sall right with a friend, I want togive them a peck on the cheek. Iwant to remember to text, emailor Facebook a smile or a heart, a=D or a <3.

Just to repeat, the lesson is this:Love in the now. Love often. Don’tleave people guessing, make surethey know you love them.

this agreement, but said theunion put the issue aside for nowin hopes of simplifying theprocess.

The department uses the so-called Modified Detroit model —one day on, one off, one on, oneoff, one on and four off — butmany in the agency would preferto switch to a schedule that allowsthem to work two 24-hour shiftsback to back in exchange for fourdays off more frequently.

Hooper and other firefightershave argued that going back andforth from on days to off days cre-ates irregular sleeping patterns,leading to more fatigue than one48-hour shift with some naps dur-ing slow times.

Hooper said it became clear dur-ing negotiations that getting theboard to agree to the schedulechange would be an arduousprocess, possibly stretching thelabor talks into next year, involvingprofessional arbitrators and mak-ing it difficult for the board to puttogether a 2012 budget. The unionwill continue to push for theschedule change outside of thelabor agreement, he said.

“It sort of convoluted every-thing else,” Hooper said. “Wewere trying to keep this agree-ment simple and save both sidesthe money and time and meet-ings.”

Citizens can offer input oncity’s marijuana proposal

Citizens can offer input on thecitywide moratorium on medicalmarijuana collective gardens asmeetings on a proposed marijuanaordinance continue.

Under direction from the CityCouncil, the municipal PlanningDepartment is developing a meas-ure to determine what — orindeed if — business, safety andzoning restrictions should apply tosuch gardens.

The city is offering opportunitiesfor citizen input on a proposedordinance in September andOctober.

Citizens can comment atPlanning Policy Commission meet-ing Sept. 22. The commissionmeets at 6:30 p.m. in the CityCouncil Chambers at City HallSouth, 135 E. Sunset Way.

The measure is expected toreturn to the council for discussionOct. 3. Citizens can also addressthe council about the proposal.Members meet at 7:30 p.m. in thecouncil chambers as well.

Issaquah is in the midst of a six-month moratorium on the collec-tive gardens. The council enactedthe ban in June and, per standardprocedure, held a public hearingon the issue July 18.

The council agreed to upholdthe ban, but after hearing frommedical marijuana users andadvocates, directed planners toformulate a solution as soon aspossible.

Firefighters extinguish flames atdowntown apartment complex

Eastside Fire & Rescue crewssnuffed out a blaze at the ChopakaApartments clubhouse in down-town Issaquah early Aug. 30.

Firefighters responded to areport of a natural gas leak in theclubhouse at 145 Newport WayN.W. at 7:28 a.m.

The maintenance employee atthe apartments said a gas leakoccurred in the clubhouse, butfirefighters investigated anddetermined the odor actuallyemanated from a fire still burningin some furniture. No gas leakexisted.

Firefighters said smoke and heatdamage had spread throughoutthe structure, but heat did notbuild enough to cause the flamesto spread. The fire, starved foroxygen, had almost burned out.

Heat did build, however, to thepoint of melting plastic itemsinside the building and vent cover-ings on the roof.

Crews conducted salvage andoverhaul operations. Firefightersalso ventilated the building toensure the flames had been extin-guished.

The cause of the fire is underinvestigation by the King CountyFire Investigation Unit and theIssaquah Police Department.

EFR and Bellevue FireDepartment units responded to theblaze.

�Bellevue College selects firmin search for president

Bellevue College leaders haveselected a Florida search firm tofind the institution’s next president.

The college selectedGreenwood/Asher andAssociates, a veteran inWashington State University andWestern Washington Universitypresidential searches, to findpotential successors to longtimePresident Jean Floten.

Bellevue College’s next presi-dent is expected to play a largerole in the institution’s expansionto Issaquah. Floten announcedplans last year to open a satellitecampus in the IssaquahHighlands.

Construction is expected to starton the campus in the years ahead.

Crews started construction in Mayon a road to serve the campus.

Bellevue College trustees alsostarted selecting a presidentialsearch advisory committee towork alongside the firm to helpdevelop a list of characteristicssought in the next president,review applications, narrow thefield and evaluate the top candi-dates.

The committee includestrustees, faculty and staff mem-bers, students, and communityand business leaders from withinthe college district.

Floten resigned from BellevueCollege last month to serve aschancellor of WGU Washington, anonprofit online university. LauraSaunders, a former BellevueCollege administrator, is servingas interim president.

Builders earn national awardfor Compassion House

Constructing the Julia L. PrittHouse for homeless familiesearned the Master BuildersAssociation of King andSnohomish Counties a nationalaward for community service.

Prosecutors said a local manarrested in Eastern Washington forcollecting card information at aPasco ATM is connected to ascheme responsible for skimmingmore than $500,000 at ATMsacross the West.

Issaquah resident Mihai Elekes,34, faces state and federal chargesbecause prosecutors said he placeda device on a Chase Bank ATM toread customers’ debit and creditcard numbers.

The state charge in FranklinCounty Superior Court is for theunlawful factoring of transactionscharge related to the ATM skim-ming incident.

Meanwhile, federal prosecutorssaid Elekes and a Renton manskimmed account information inWashington, Idaho and Arizona.Prosecutors said the operation hasresulted in losses of more than$160,000 so far.

The men targeted ATMs atBECU, First Tech Federal andWatermark credit unions, as wellas Chase Bank branches, prosecu-tors said. Investigators said themen sometimes installed the skim-

mer on the access door to thelobby housing the ATM.

Elekes and the Renton resident,55-year-old Ionut Buzbuchi, cameto the attention of law enforcementofficials for possible skimmingactivity in 2009.

In Pasco, Franklin County prose-cutors said Elekes and a 40-year-old accomplice installed a cardreader and mirrors attached tometal strips on the ATM.

Pasco police officers, SecretService agents and bank securityagents arrested Elekes and JanosChertes late Aug. 28 in a stingoperation at the bank.

The suspects placed the card read-er on the ATM at about 6 a.m. on aSunday — a day the bank was closed,authorities said in court documents.Officials then watched the ATM andwaited for the suspects to return.

Prosecutors said the device hadalso been placed on the same ATMon several Sundays in July andAugust.

The attorney for Chertes, aHungarian citizen in the UnitedStates on a tourist visa, withdrewafter a possible conflict due to rep-resenting Elekes as well.

If convicted on the seldom-usedunlawful factoring of transactions

charge, Elekes could face up to 10years in prison and up to a$20,000 fine under state law.Elekes pleaded not guilty to thestate charges Sept. 6.

The penalty for the federalcharges is stiffer. If convicted,Elekes and Buzbuchi could face upto 30 years in prison.

Elekes appeared in U.S. DistrictCourt in Yakima on Sept. 8 — thesame day Buzbuchi and anotherskimming suspect, Beneyam Asrat G-Sellassie, a 22-year-old Seattle man,appeared in federal court in Seattle.

G-Sellassie faces a possession ofcounterfeit or unauthorized accessdevices in connection to a Junearrest in Seattle. Investigators sus-pect G-Sellassie is connected tomore than 20 skimming incidentsin Washington, Oregon, Californiaand Nevada. If convicted, he facesup to 10 years in prison and a$250,000 fine.

Elekes remained in custody atthe Yakima County Jail withoutbail late last week, pending atransfer to Seattle for anotherappearance in federal court.


Issaquah man faces state, federalcharges in ATM skimming scheme

In 1994, Marilyn Davis invitedto her home four fellow Provi-dence Marianwood nurses who,like herself, were approaching re-tirement. It was the first meetingof the Fabulous Five.

Since then, the group (nowcomprised of six women) havemet regularly to laugh about oldtimes and support each other asthey confront the trials of growingolder.

With only a couple days’ notice,four of the six met at MarilynBoone’s house in Issaquah for aninterview. The only two missingwere Davis, who now lives in

Australia, and Diana Millikan,who lives on Guemes Island.

To clarify, the Fabulous Fivemet in the apartment behind the97-year-old house Boone boughtin 1977. “The worst house intown” is what she called it. Boonebecame a self-taught carpenterand electrician. She fixed up hernew home on her own — all thewhile raising three children andworking as a nurse — until shemet her husband.

“He was a retired engineer andhe just loved the fact that I hadtwo very old houses that neededredoing,” she said.

Boone was an evening nurseand her “seven-day-on, seven-day-off” schedule allowed her to

spend time with the love of herlife at the Case Inlet beach houseshe inherited in 1991.

“I worked until I was 75,” shesaid, her eyes glistening withtears. “I quit four years ago, justin time to take care of an oldman, my husband, while hedied.”

Boone had not only her familyto lean on as she mourned theloss of her husband, but also thefive women who she had sup-ported through similarly painfulexperiences.

Facing the future together“I think when we’re together

we can share what we’re reallyfeeling,” said Colleen Buck, amember of the group. “We cantalk about real life things, aboutdying and disability. We sharethoughts about death and whatwe have to face in the future.”

While the women relate to eachother on many levels, their simi-

Bob Jones remembers his intro-duction to Scouting, 75 years ago.It began with a knock at the doorof his home, when he was 11years old.

“My dad was making a big potof coffee and three men from theChurch of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were standing at thedoor,” he recounted.

His father wasn’t a member ofthe church, nor was he interestedin Scouting.

“The bishop told him that Godcouldn’t smell the coffee, and nei-ther could he, but the young menneeded a Scout leader,” Jonessaid.

A week later, he had his first ex-perience as a Boy Scout. Now 85,Jones has held every position inthe Boy Scouts of America, achiev-ing milestones accomplished byonly a handful of men, includinggetting the Silver Beaver Awardand the William Spurgeon Explor-ing Award. His dark-green uni-form is adorned with patches, rib-bons, recognitions and pins, andthe ribbons around his neck attestto his decades of devotion to aninstitution that has influencedthousands of young men.

“He has easily touched morethan 30,000 young men,” saidKen Kenyon, of Issaquah, a busi-ness owner and local Scoutingleader.

Kenyon had sons that werementored to the rank of EagleScout by Jones, and many ofKenyon’s 19 grandchildren wereinfluenced by Jones.

They are not alone. In the Is-saquah area, there have “beendozens of Eagle Scouts who havebenefited from Jones’ hands-onleadership,” Kenyon explained.“His work had been passed downfor generations.”

Kenyon is a great example ofmany men who are now grandfa-thers whose grandchildren are inScouting because of Jones, ac-cording to former Alpine Districtleader Philip Boynton, himself aBoy Scout for 33 years.

Jones has “been a mentor, a fa-ther, a grandfather, a friend, aleader and a constant to all of us,”Boynton said. “I can’t even thinkof him being gone.”

‘God, patriotism and family’Jones didn’t plan on serving the

Boy Scouts of America fordecades; it just continued when hehad a son of his own. After earn-ing his Eagle Scout, Jones earneda management degree, served inWorld War II and became a gen-eral contractor, working his waythrough the ranks until he ran hisown business. As he managedmultimillion-dollar projects acrossthe western states of Nevada, Ari-zona, Utah, California and finallythe Northwest, his dedication tothe Boy Scouts never wavered. Infact, it increased.

“The first thing Dad did in anynew area was get involved withthe BSA, volunteering, doing any-thing he could do,” explained his

The passing of a loved one is not oftencause for celebration or change. For Issaquahresidents Nick and Angela Xavier, it was theinspiration to follow a dream.

“Dad gave me some great advice,” Angelasaid. “He wanted us to be happy, to follow ourdream. In a strange way, losing him gave usthe motivation to fulfill our life to the fullest.”

That dream was to open Reds Wine Bar.(Angela’s nickname has been Red for manyyears because she wore red shoes.)

Located in Kent Station, Reds Wine Bar isthe newest hotspot in the bustling commercialspace that boasts 93 percent occupancy. Ac-cording to Sommer Ueda, spokesperson for thestation, Reds is exactly what the centerneeded.

“Our customer has really embraced the winebar concept,” Ueda said, referring to the immedi-ate flow of traffic enjoyed by Reds since it had itssoft opening in early January. “It’s not only hittinga niche for shoppers and those that go to the cen-ter across the street, but also the evening crowd.”

Reds has been equally busy during the dayand well in to the evening, Ueda said.

Where everybody knows your nameAlthough a broad selection of wines and

beer from the Northwest, Argentina, NewZealand, France and Italy lure customers asmuch as the heaping plate of spring rolls for$7, the biggest draw may be the proprietorsthemselves. Nick is an outgoing former salesexecutive who “always loved to host pool par-

ties,” and his wife Angela honed her peopleskills working at a loan company for a decadeprior to starting a family.

“We cooked and entertained together, onepouring drinks and making appetizers whilethe other manned the barbecue,” Angela said.“This is an extension of how we live our life.”

Ueda said the combination is working, andthen some.

“Patrons sense the chemistry at Reds, andsee it’s a really nice, comfortable place for

people to come and enjoy their wine but notbe surrounded by wine snobs,” she said.

As owner-operators, the Xaviers are all-around “great, good-hearted people,” sheadded.

With the end of the summer, the Xaviersharvested hay on the farm for the first timewithout her father. The experience for Angelawas bittersweet.

“Dad’s birthday is just around the corner,and I’ve been thinking about the advice hegave me over and over,” Angela recalled. “Healways said we could do and be anything wewanted to be in life. As long as we workedhard for it, we could achieve success.”

Angela takes a look around the deep, brick-red paint and the polished metal-finished fire-place with a sigh of satisfaction and remem-brance.

“We had a dream and brought it to life,” shesaid. “We just tried to deliver on the vision meand Nick had of a place we’d want to go to andreconnect with friends in a great environment.”

Last year, the local congrega-tions of the Church of JesusChrist of Latter-day Saints or-ganized a program to refill theinventory of this source of foodfor many families in need. Thecommunity responded by pro-viding 5,600 pounds of food thatwas given to the Issaquah Food& Clothing Bank, and more than30,000 pounds of food to sixEastside food banks.

This year, the annual eventwill be Sept. 17. In charge ofthe food drive is Robert John-son, president of the BellevueSouth Stake, who oversees 10congregations in five cities.

“We are striving to be mem-bers of the community, helpingour neighbors, strangers, thoseour members may not interactwith just on Sundays,” Johnsonsaid, adding that his personalgoal is to double the amount ofdonations received.

Members of the three Is-saquah congregations willleave flyers on doors the weekprior to the food drive. Resi-dents can set food out on thedoorstep for pick-up, or donatefood at any local participatinggrocery store. All food collectedin Issaquah will be given to theIssaquah food bank.

“This is one of the manythings we are asking our Saintsto do in serving their fellowman,” Johnson said.

Help for troubled teenagersand children is only a bus stopaway.

King County, local serviceagencies and Safe Place — anational nonprofit organizationformed to create communitysafety nets for young people incrisis — combined forces forthe effort.

Through the program, if ayoung person in crisis needshelp, all he or she has to do isapproach a Metro Transit busdriver and say, “I need a safeplace.” The driver places a callto trigger contact to a youthservice provider. The organiza-tion then arranges to meet andtransport the youth to safety.

Metro Transit and serviceagencies — including Friends ofYouth — joined to create thelargest Safe Place partner inWashington. The purpose of theprogram is to put the necessarycommunity resources in placeto aid young people quickly anddecrease the potential for harm.

“It will provide a way foryoung people who find them-selves in crisis to alert someoneright away to the challenges andfind help instead of findingthemselves without a place to goor on the street,” Friends ofYouth CEO Terry Pottmeyer saidlate last week. “We see it as away to quickly intervene when acrisis arises for a young person.”

Friends of Youth operates acounseling center along FrontStreet North in downtown Is-saquah.

YouthCare and Auburn YouthResources also participate inthe program.

County Councilwoman KathyLambert, Issaquah’s represen-tative, helped coordinate thepartnership.

“Preventing young people frombecoming homeless is a big steptoward our efforts to solve home-lessness and to keep at-risk kidssafe,” she said in a statement.“Safe Place expands the reach ofour existing youth services byconnecting with our network ofbuses and finding new ways toget help to youth in crisis.

Christian Arthur VikariDr. Christian

Arthur Vikaricompleted hismortal journeyon Aug. 31,2011, after along and diffi-cult illness. Tothose of uswho knew andloved Art, itseems too soonto say good-bye, yet, there is comfort inknowing this wonderful, compas-sionate man is now free of thepain and suffering he enduredthese last few years.

Art leaves behind a great legacyof love for family and friends; car-ing, compassionate service to oth-ers; and an unfailing love of God.All who came within the reach ofhis smile and warm embrace willlong remember how good they feltwhen they were with him.

Art was raised in Washington,yet his life journey truly began theday he married his sweet compan-ion, Valine. They have been de-voted partners in life for 27 yearsand will be companions forever inthe eternities. Art and Valine havebeen blessed with five beautifuland talented children.

Dr. Vikari practiced oral surgeryin Issaquah, and was loved and ad-

mired by his patients, staff and col-leagues. He cared deeply for his pa-tients and they loved and respectedhim in return. Art found manyways to help others. He regularlyshared his time and talents, andgave generously to others in need.

As a bishop in the Church of Je-sus Christ of Latter-day Saints, heministered to the members of hiscongregation. He opened thescriptures to the hearts of thosesearching for answers; he coun-seled those with heartache andloss; he visited the sick and weary;and encouraged the youth to liveup to the best within them. Artwas a true friend to all who camewithin the sphere of his influence.

Art accomplished much in lifeand enjoyed a variety of interests,however, his greatest joy and satis-faction came from his family.Home was where he most longedto be. Above all else he will be re-membered as a devoted husbandand father who loved the Lord anddid his best to serve those aroundhim. He lived a life of selfless serv-ice and optimism for a brighterday.

Throughout his life and evenwhen suffering from difficult med-ical issues, Art would share hislife’s motto: “It’s my best day yet!”

A memorial service was held forDr. Vikari on Sept. 6 at the Churchof Jesus Christ of Latter-daySaints, Bellevue.

Althena Opdyke Heidler

AlthenaOpdyke Hei-dler, of Is-saquah, passedaway of natu-ral causes onSept. 2, 2011.

Althena wasborn in Soud-erton, Pa., onJune 28, 1924.After graduat-ing from Soud-erton High School, she served asa yeoman in the United StatesNavy during World War II. Afterthe war, she was employed as anewspaper reporter in Lansdale,Pa.

She met Robert Heidler, of EastGreenville, Pa., while walking thebeach in Atlantic City in search ofa rocky coast like the one sheloved while serving at the Presidioin San Francisco during the war.She didn’t find the right coastline,but did find Robert, whom shemarried in 1948. He was by herside 63 years later when shepassed.

Althena was preceded in deathby infant daughter Janice.

She is survived by her husbandRobert and her two daughters andtheir families: Patricia andThomas Schaible, of New Bern,N.C., and Vicki and Edward

Kostenbauder, of Issaquah; fourgrandchildren (Tina, Laura, Boband Eric); two stepgrandchildren(Tim and Tom); three great-grand-children; and two stepgreat-grandchildren.

As an early mom entrepreneur,Althena started the SoudertonShopper in 1953 in which she re-ported on local merchants, soldadvertising and wrote articlesabout small-town life.

In Pied Piper fashion, she al-ways had more than a few neigh-borhood kids in the back of her‘51 Ford while picking up news orrunning errands. She became in-terested in herbs later in life anddecided to share her knowledge byopening The Country Herb Gardenin Sellersville, Pa., which she andBob ran until their retirement in1999.

They moved to Issaquah in2000. She was always ready toquote a line of poetry or beat herchildren and their children in agame of pinochle. She was proudof her Dutch heritage and will beremembered by her family andfriends as a true original with aquirky sense of humor and an un-matched sense of style.

Arrangements are by Flintoft’sIssaquah Funeral Home, 392-6444.

Please sign the online guestbook and leave a memory of Al-thena at www.flintofts.com.

least one thing — the nearest Metrobus is a safe place to get help.”

Sound Transit Express busesserving King County also partici-pate in the program.

“Young people in crisis with noplace to turn can now seek out anearby Metro bus and find an op-erator who is ready to help,”County Executive Dow Constantinesaid in a statement after officialsannounced the program Aug. 31.“Our coaches are out at all hoursof the day in all parts of thecounty, and this offer of a SafePlace should bring a little peace ofmind to families. I thank our oper-ators for taking this extra step toprotect our region’s youth.”

Once a young person reaches outto a bus driver, the next step de-pends on the youth’s needs. Some-

times, the problem means counsel-ing and providing help to reunitethe child and his or her family. Or, inthe absence of alternatives, youthscan be taken to a safe shelter.

WHAT TO KNOWIn addition to help from King

County Metro Transit drivers, youngpeople in trouble can use anotheroption to find help quickly. TXT 4HELP is a national Safe Placeservice to offer information aboutthe closest location to accessimmediate help and safety. Bytexting the word “SAFE” and a cur-rent location to 69866, youthscan get help within moments. InKing County, the service connectsyoung people to shelters.

larity in age and shared commit-ment to nursing is what broughtthem together.

“When we were young, womendidn’t have much choice,” groupmember Mary Ann Knowles said.“Women were teachers, nursesor secretaries. I grew up thinkingI was going to become a nurse.Not many people went to collegeat our age, but we all went.”

Originally from New York, shereceived her nursing degree atthe College of Mount St. Vincent’sin 1953 before driving to SanFrancisco, where she met herhusband. In the 1960s, Knowles’husband, who worked for ITECircuit Breaker, was transferredto Bellevue. There, the coupleadded five more children to theirclan of two.

In 1994, after eight years ofworking at Providence Marian-wood, she retired. A year later,she began taking classes at Seat-tle University, where she earneda master’s degree in pastoral ed-ucation.

Like Knowles, Buck raisedseven children with her hus-band, the director of finance atThe Boeing Co. They marriedwhen she was only 18.

“I was kind of a late bloomerinto nursing, because I didn’t goto college until my youngest wasgoing into kindergarten,” shesaid. “I eventually got my associ-ate’s degree, bachelor’s degreeand geriatric nurse practitionercertificate from the University ofWashington in 1981.”

Jo Ann Gazdik took quite a dif-ferent path, yet somehow endedup at Marianwood with the restof the crew. She grew up inChicago, but quickly became anexperienced traveler. After grad-uating from Evangelical School ofNursing (located just outside ofChicago) in 1967, she put hernursing degree to work for thePeace Corps in Kenya, and thenspent six months travelling theworld with friends.

She graduated from SeattleUniversity in 2003 with a Bache-lor of Science in nursing. She hasbeen teaching nursing at Belle-vue College since December2003. She has been the programcoordinator since 2004.

‘We sure did laugh’While the Fabulous Five

(which is what they still callthemselves) have encouragedeach other through surgeries, re-tirement, marriages and thedeaths of husbands and children,their conversation is not limitedto topics of a tragic nature, nordo their meetings consist only ofchitchat.

They ride bikes to each other’shouses, go to plays together, in-vite each other to their vacationhomes, and coordinate lunchesto meet their husbands and kids.Gazdik and Boone and Knowleseven visited Davis in Australia.

Boone recalled their most re-cent gathering — a lunch datethat turned into an all-day event.

“We did nothing but laugh andtalk from 11:15 a.m. to 7:15p.m.,” she said. “We talked aboutfunny things that happened atMarianwood and I don’t knowwhat else, but we sure did laugh.

We got served random things be-cause we’re hard of hearing.”

In Boone’s apartment, those ofthe Fabulous Five who werepresent laughed as they de-scribed the way Davis — thewoman responsible for all of thefabulousness — met her Aus-tralian husband.

Davis grew up in Worcestshire,Mass., married and had two chil-dren in Tennessee and later wasdivorced. She moved to Califor-nia before landing at ProvidenceMarianwood.

“She has always been outspo-ken and had been a singlewoman for almost 30 years,”Boone said. “She always said, ‘Ido not need a man in my life.’”

Ten years ago, Davis met anAustralian man on an Internetdating website.

“When she told us about thisnice guy she’d met on the Inter-net, it scared us all to death,”Boone said. “But he’s a reallynice guy.”

Davis visited her Internet loveand they married in the UnitedStates. They then moved to Aus-tralia.

Overlapping shifts, friendshipsThe ladies described their

sixth member, Diana Millikan, as“an absolutely lovely, elegantEnglish lady.” Buck said she wasa child living in England duringthe World War II London bomb-ing and carried horrible memo-ries of the war.

“She was sent away to thecountry to live with relatives,”Buck said. “ She used to carrycandy bars in the gas mask shehad to carry back and forth toschool.”

Millikan went to nursingschool in England. She had fourchildren with her first husbandwhen she moved to the UnitedStates. She is a cancer survivorfour times over and is “a greatphotographer of nature,” accord-ing to her friends.

Somehow, all six women’spaths serendipitously intertwinedat Providence Marianwood.

Their friendship developedduring overlapping nursingshifts. Knowles, Gazdik, Boone,Buck, Davis and Millikan wereProvidence Marianwood nursesfrom 1986 to 1994, 1990 to2003, 1986 to 2007, 1986 to1995, 1987 to 1997, and 1986 to1990, respectively. Combined,they gave a total of 65 years tothe Issaquah nursing home.

Working as geriatric nursesprovided the women with a pre-view of the aging process, but italso gave them patience and tol-erance, they said.

“We gave each other space totalk and everybody listened,”Buck said. “I’ve always felt veryrespected and listened to.”

The Fab Five share numerousqualities and interests, yet notwo women have the same story.No matter what the instance,they lend each other a hand or ashoulder and always a smile.

Though lately family illnessesand Davis’ move to Australiahave precluded the Fab Fivefrom meeting as often as theywould like, they still manage tosee each other.

“In every group there is onedrawstring that keeps us all to-gether,” Buck said. “It’s MarilynBoone. She keeps in contact.When she calls, we come — spurof the moment.”

son Dayle Jones. “God, patriot-ism and family. They are insepa-rable to Dad.”

Dayle earned his Eagle Scout,and had the fortune of workingside by side with his father toteach his own six sons leader-ship skills necessary to achievetheir own Eagle awards.

“Scouting has been around100 years,” Boynton said. “Bobhas literally shaped the organiza-tion, created leadershipprocesses and mentored thementors across the country.”

Zeal, leadership and serviceJones’ zeal hasn’t dimmed

with old age. At the recentWashjam, a jamboree in Wash-ington state attended by thou-sands of Scouts, Jones andBoynton engaged in a friendlycontest of cooking skills, wherethe 84-year-old Jones gave semi-nars on cooking and leadership,and interacted with hundreds ofScouts. Months later, in Febru-ary, Jones was in the snow atthe outdoor Klondike retreat,once again making food in hisfamous cast-iron pots, and ex-hibiting more energy than a 12-year-old.

“His quiet leadership style per-meates everything he does,”Boynton said.

Brad Allen, former councilScout executive for the ChiefSeattle Council in Seattle, servedwith Jones for three years untilhe took a position out of state.He recalls Jones as one of thefinest men and greatest Scoutshe has ever known.

“Bob has given a lifetime ofservice, living the Scout oath andlaw, all the while keeping theboys’ interest as his paramount

focus,” he explained. “He is thevery definition of a servant-leader, and he’s not done yet.”

Now serving as an area direc-tor for the six Boy Scouts’ coun-cils in Utah, Idaho and WesternWyoming, Allen knows first handhow vital volunteers like Jonesare to the health of the Scouts’organization.

“Bob is tireless, selfless andsingle minded in his dedicationto helping young boys becomeleaders,” Allen said. “Thanks tohim, we have two generations ofleaders now serving the BSA.”

On my honorFor the hundreds of Eagle

Scouts who worked for years onmerit badges and service projects,attended campouts and Exploreradventures, no experience wasmore nerve-wracking than at-tending the Eagle Scout reviewboard. During the formal process,always led by a senior member ofthe district, Jones interviewedhundreds of prospective EagleScouts.

In each one, Jones finished byasking one very simple question— “When we were done, I’d askthe young man to tell me whatthe words ‘on my honor’ meantto him,” Jones said with a twin-kle in his eye. “Not just repeatingthe words, but truly embodyingthe principles of a Scout.”

Jones said he believes that thosewho fully embraced the essence ofthe Scouts are the pillars of society,the leaders at Fortune 500 compa-nies and the fathers who are giv-ing back to the community.

“These men are all around us,”he said.

“The women, too,” he noted,talking about his deceased wifeElaine, his constant companionfor 60 years until her passing.

“Scouting is a gift the parentsgive to their children, and they totheir children,” he said. “It lastsfor generations.”

Not to put any pressure on theSkyline High School girls soccerteam, but after ranking third instate and at one point beingranked No. 1 in the country in2010, some teams in the balanced4A KingCo Conference might beout to get the Spartans in 2011.

Having lost eight varsity mem-bers to graduation, Skyline returns11 key starters this year to fillsome gaps left around the field.

While the 2010 team had stand-outs like Brittanee Randle, whonow plays at Missouri, and MadiBarney, now at Central Florida,Skyline won’t rely on a few stars,but on everyone doing an equalpart, coach Don Braman said.

“I look at it like it’s a totally newpuzzle,” Braman said. “I don’tlook at it like there’s new holes init.”

The Spartans will look to someof its top returnees for leadership.They include senior defenderJackie Wilson, senior midfieldersMaddie Christ and Nicole Candio-glos, senior goalkeeper Tina Var-gas — considered one of the bestkeepers in the state.

Vargas, bound for the Universityof Denver, recorded 14 shutoutslast season. Wilson, Christ andVargas all earned first-team all-

KingCo honors last fall.Skyline should have a strong of-

fense led by Christ, who scoredseven goals and had 15 assists lastseason; junior forward RachelShim, who also had seven goals;Candioglos, who had six goals,and Wilson, who tallied five goals.

After flying down and knockingoff a California power Sept. 3,Bellevue players had a built-in ex-cuse. The Wolverines had a shortweek to prepare and an opportu-nity to revel in the headlines andtheir national rankings.

However, this group came intoSept. 9’s game wanting to live upto its motto and take the next stepin leaving a legacy.

Skyline wasn’t about to go qui-etly in a matchup of the state’stop-two programs. But in the sec-ond half the Wolverines’ defensedelivered, forcing turnovers andmaking big stops deep in their ter-ritory during a 31-17 victory overthe Spartans in front of a packedhouse at Skyline High School.

“It’s Skyline-Bellevue and itlived up to that,” Bellevue coachButch Goncharoff said.

After they were held to just afield goal in the first quarter, theIssaquah High School footballteam got its offense back on trackin the second quarter and rolled toa 23-13 nonleague victory againstthe visiting Liberty Patriots Sept. 9in Gary Moore Stadium.

The Eagles came out flying inthe second quarter as senior quar-terback Ethan Kalin picked apartthe rival Patriots. Kalin finishedthe contest by completing 13 of 19passes for 225 yards and twotouchdowns. He went mainly towide receivers Jake Bakamus andReed Peterson.

Bakamus, a senior, caught sixpasses for 150 yards. He alsosealed the Eagles’ victory by inter-cepting a pass from Liberty quar-

terback Jordan West with 5:54 leftin the fourth quarter.

Peterson, junior, had four recep-tions for 55 yards.

“I’ve been working with thesereceivers a lot lately, and day inand day out we’ve been workingon our routes,” Kalin said. “I justfeel comfortable with everythingthey do out there.”

The victory was the secondstraight for Issaquah, which playsthe Ballard Beavers at 7 p.m. Sept.16 in Seattle’s Memorial Stadium.

Liberty (0-2) opened the gamewith a scoring drive that wascapped by a 3-yard run by seniorrunning back Hamilton Noel, whoraced into the end zone with 5:11left in the first quarter.

The Patriots were able to holdIssaquah to just a field goal in thefirst quarter — a 30-yarder byAlex Shane. However, because of

defensive pressure from the Eagles— including sacks by senior defen-sive linemen Trevor Alexanderand Eric Lemke in the first half —the Patriots struggled to get an ef-ficient offensive rhythm.

Issaquah’s offense, led by Kalin,rallied for an additional 20 pointsin the second quarter, to lead 23-7at halftime.

Sophomore running back JackGellatly complemented the passingattack by rushing for 95 yards andscoring a touchdown.

West tried to rally the Patriots inthe second half. He connected on a7-yard pass to junior wide receiverTynan Gilmore in the end zonewith 10 minutes to go in the game,bringing the score to 23-13.

“Their line was kickin’ our tailall night,” Issaquah coach ChrisBennett said. “They were physicaland made us earn every single

yard on the ground … we werebad in the red zone tonight andcould have had two more touch-downs. We have to get those in.”

Over the last three seasons, theSkyline girls soccer programearned 47 wins, with just sevenlosses and two ties.

The Spartans won 4A state titlesin 2008 and 2009 and placedthird in 2010 with an impressive19-1 record. Skyline’s only losscame to Tahoma 1-0 in the statesemifinals.

Braman, in his eighth season,has a 103-26-10 record. Two ofthe victories came in nonleagueaction last week.

Skyline opened its season Sept.6 with a 1-0 victory against visit-ing Liberty. Candioglos scored thegoal at the 72nd minute. On Sept.8, Wilson and Marshall scoredfirst-half goals at the Spartans de-feated host Mercer Island 2-0.

Young Eagles will be competitive

One of Skyline’s challengersshould be Issaquah again. Overthe past eight years, coach TomBunnell’s teams have been amongthe best in the state. However, in-juries plagued the Eagles last sea-son when they went 12-4-1 andjust missed qualifying for the statetournament.

This season the Eagles have ayoung team, composed mostly ofjuniors.

Key returners include seniormidfielders Deanna Dakar and Al-isa Evans, junior midfielder AudreyThomas; senior defender JuliaKnitter, junior defenders Sarah Le-land, Tara Eisenmann and MorganZach; senior forward Jocelyn Engand junior forward Sophie Kim.

Among the impact newcomersare defenders Tracy Pang, LexiRindler, Casey Kovarik, midfielderAnnie Hoffman and forward LyrikFryer.

Issaquah went 1-2 during its

first week of the season. The Ea-gles opened with a 4-1 victoryagainst host Lake WashingtonSept. 7. Thomas scored two goals.Eng and Hoffman accounted forthe other two scores.

After a strong opener, the Eaglesgot blasted by rival Liberty 9-1Sept. 8.

“We played poor defensivelyagainst a good team. We hadbreakdowns against an explosiveteam. Things just kind of got out ofcontrol,” Bunnell said. “Libertyhas a very good team. I was veryimpressed with them.”

Issaquah played better Sept. 10,although the Eagles lost to hostLake Stevens 1-0.

“We played well enough to win.It was a good bounce back afterthe Liberty game,” Bunnell said.“Lake Stevens got just one shot onus while we just couldn’t put theball in the back of the net.”

Despite two losses last week,Bunnell is impressed with histeam’s potential.

“It is going to be a fun season,”he said.

Patriots look strong again

Liberty has a new coach thisseason in Jamie Giger, who re-placed Malia Arrant.

Last fall, Arrant guided the Pa-triots to their best season in years.Liberty won the 3A KingCo titleand reached the state playoffs, los-ing in the first round to BonneyLake. The Patriots finished theseason 11-3-3, a dramatic im-provement from 4-9-4 in 2009.

But the new coach is about theonly new change to the Patriots,who should challenge for theleague title and the state playoffsagain.

Among the top returning playersare senior midfielder Kimi Fry,senior forward Cassidy Nangle,and juniors Kailiana Johnson andKiana Hafferty.

Fry, who was the league’s co-MVP last year, has committed tothe University of San Diego. Nan-gle, an all-league player last fall,has committed to the University ofOklahoma. Johnson, who earnedsecond-team all-league honors lastseason, got this season off to a hotstart. In the victory against Is-saquah, Johnson scored four goals.Fry had a goal and an assist.

Among the top newcomers aresophomore outside midfielder/de-fender Shaniah Adriano, freshmanoutside midfielder Kali Youngdahland freshman defender TaylorSekyra.

fourth-down stops in the fourthquarter that kept Skyline fromgetting back in the game.

“It shows a lot about our de-fense, how we’re always on it,”Constantine said. “We nevergive up. We’re determined towin state and be the best in thenation.”

Skyline (1-1) marched 80yards on the game’s openingdrive, benefiting from a 43-yardpass from quarterback MaxBrowne to Taggart Krueger thatwent through the hands of aBellevue defender. DamianGreene capped the drive with a1-yard touchdown run.

“I was very proud of our ef-fort,” Spartans coach Mat Taylorsaid. “Our kids fought. Theynever gave up. Give Bellevuecredit. It’s not that they were allunforced turnovers. They helpedforce some of those, too.”

The Wolverines scored thenext 17 points. Mitch Johnson hita 33-yard field goal, Andy Boul-ware had a 16-yard touchdown

run and Joey Moore scored on a14-yard run.

Just when it looked like theWolverines, ranked No. 1 in thestate in Class 3A and No. 15 inthe nation according to USA To-day’s Super 25, were pullingaway, Skyline stormed back.

The top-ranked team in 4A,which opened the game runningthe football, went to its signaturepassing attack as the game pro-gressed, riding Browne’s arm to 10second-quarter points, including a14-yard touchdown toss to NicSblendorio with 18.8 seconds leftin the half that tied the game at 17.

Browne, one of the top juniorquarterbacks in the country,completed 24 of 34 passes for300 yards, a touchdown and twointerceptions.

Bellevue struck quickly in thethird quarter with Tyler Hastyhitting Bishard Baker on a 59-yard pass that eventually led toHasty’s 4-yard touchdown run.Bellevue’s defense then took over.

“It shows we can compete with4A and 3A,” said Hasty, whothrew for 161 yards. “We can goagainst almost any team — (evenin) California — and we cancompete with them, we can staywith them and we can win.”

it needs to concentrate on downthe road.

“If you don’t play quality oppo-nents, if you’re not exposed,sometimes you don’t really knowwhat you need to work on,” hesaid.

Lemke, a 6 foot-4-inch, 250-pound starting tight end, sus-

tained a knee injury before half-time and was sidelined for theremainder of the game.

“He’s one of our better playersand other guys had to step up andfill in,” Bennett said. “That’s whatthey did. It was a nice team effort.”

Liberty will get its first homegame as it takes on the Sam-mamish Totems (0-2) at 7 p.m.Sept. 16 at Liberty.

For some time after it opened itsdoors in September 1951, the Is-saquah elementary school on Sec-ond Avenue Southeast was simplyknown as “the new school.”

At least that is how articlesfrom The Issaquah Press refer tothe school, which initially con-sisted of six classrooms servingonly grades one and two.

Somewhere between 1951 and aformal dedication ceremony heldin March1953, the new school be-came Clark Elementary, named tohonor former Issaquah School Dis-trict Superintendent George Clark.

Marking the school’s 60th birth-day, the Clark community held acelebration Sept. 9, complete witha birthday cake for one of Is-saquah’s oldest existing schoolbuildings.

“We really wanted to celebratethe history,” said Heather Mal-

oney, president of the Clark PTA.

She added that Clark holds aback-to-school event at the startof every school year and markingthe building’s past seemed like anatural.

While the school’s past is fairlyclear, its future could be consid-ered somewhat cloudy. Districtleaders are discussing replacingthe aging school. The projectcould be a major part of a capitalimprovement issue voters likelywill be asked to approve in Feb-ruary. The price tag for a newClark has been set at $19.5 mil-lion.

Clark’s original constructioncost was $486,000, or $10.76 persquare foot, including an additionadded shortly after the schoolopened.

Completed in the fall of 1952,the addition brought the totalnumber of rooms in Clark to 18 at

the time of its formal dedication. The district renovated the

school in the early 1990s, saidPrincipal May Pelto, adding someunique features such as a kiln, adedicated art room and a dedi-cated science room.

The building now has 17 class-rooms and holds about 350 stu-dents.

Back in 1953, that original ded-ication ceremony was apparentlywell attended. Dignitaries presentincluded city and school officials,along with state education lead-ers. A highlight of the ceremonywas the reading of a letter fromJessie Clark, George Clark’swidow. The Press reprinted theletter in its entirety.

“May his influence for good bepassed on from generation togeneration and the principles andhigh ideals he endeavored to in-

still in his pupils be imparted bythe teachers to their pupils withinits walls,” Jessie Clark wrote ofthe school.

George Clark died in June1950 at Shadycove Acres in Is-saquah, according to EricaManiez, executive director of theIssaquah History Museums.Jessie Clark had retired toFlorida, according to a newsstory about the dedication.

Having become superintendentin 1916, George Clark oversawthe first graduating class of theIssaquah school system, accord-ing to information provided bythe district. That first class con-sisted of four graduates. At leastfor that year, Clark served as aprincipal as well as superintend-ent.

The recent birthday celebrationincluded several Clark alumniwho now have children of theirown in the school.

Chris Prochazka and HeidiFuhs expressed fond memories ofClark, especially of a teacher whoalso ran a farm to which studentsoften took field trips.

Though he doesn’t necessarilylike the funding mechanism, Proc-hazka said he was in favor of re-placing the school “with some-thing better” as long as the namestays the same.

“I don’t want it to change,”chimed in another alum, BrandonPeterson, 12.

Helping out at one of the sev-eral games set up in the Clarkcourtyard, Brandon said Clark is“cool” just the way it is.

There are many aspect to highschool — the drama, the cliques, thestressful classes and the growingsense of responsibility placed on stu-dents, just to name a few. Ultimately,school is all about the student expe-rience, and it doesn’t get much bet-ter than fall Friday nights in the Is-saquah School District.

Skyline is perennially amongthe best 4A football teams in thestate, despite falling short of itsultimate goal last season. Is-saquah’s team sometimes getslost in Skyline’s shadow, but theirrecent play has been nothing toscoff at either. Liberty has pro-vided plenty of football drama inmy four-year tenure here, andhas found its way to the playoffsevery year, including a 3A statechampionship appearance.

Last year, when Liberty took onSkyline and Issaquah at home inconsecutive weeks, the schoolneeded overflow seating to handlethe massive crowds. Both Skylineand Issaquah sent out fans indroves and saw great games. Thisyear, Liberty traveled to take onthe opposing schools and the

stands were packed once again.There’s a reason “Friday Night

Lights” was so popular. High schoolfootball on a crisp autumn eveningis more than just a game. There issomething special about gatheringwith hundreds of your peers tocheer your team to victory, espe-cially against a rival. Divisivecliques fade into one cohesivecheer squad; the drama and stressthat bother you in school turn intothe drama and stress of excitementthat makes sports great.

Win or lose, there is no other ex-perience like it. Years into the fu-ture, when my hair grays prema-turely, my vision starts to falter andlesser memories are forgotten, Iwill remember these Friday nights.

In any number of ways, theclass of 2001 was a special one forSkyline High School.

In terms of sports accomplish-ments, Spartans of that vintagehelped win the girls state softballchampionship in 1999. The foot-ball team took the state title in2000 and just missed doing itagain the following year.

Still, probably most importantly,the graduates represented the firstclass to attend Skyline for all fourof their years in high school.

“I think it’s worth remembering,worth commemorating,” said KimBest, a member of the class of ’01and one of the principal organizersof the school’s first 10-year reunion.

The event is at 7 p.m. Sept. 23at the Issaquah Brewhouse, 35 W.Sunset Way.

Best has been joined in the re-union planning by Catie Beck, whohandles advertising sales for KISW99.9-FM. They said it’s odd theyhave taken the lead in organizingthe reunion as neither were allthat involved in high school activi-ties.

Still, Best, now the recreationsupervisor for the city of Cheney,said the idea of a 10-year reunionintrigues her.

“I always wanted to go to a 10-year reunion even though I wasn’ta big fan of high school,” Bestsaid. “I just thought it would becool to see what people’s lives arelike, how they’ve changed.”

“I just think it’s going to be fun,”Beck said, adding that there aremembers of the class of ’01 whostarted in school together at Chal-lenger Elementary School andstayed together all the waythrough high school.

Beck said she got involved be-cause a roommate was helpingplan her own class reunion andshe contacted Best with a fewideas and tips. Her involvementjust grew from there.

To help get things rolling, the pairand one other planner, RobbieSawyers, brought in a professionalreunion planning company. Thecompany located 336 of the class of‘01’s 367 members. In terms of ac-tually making contact with formerclassmates, Beck said Facebook hasproven an extremely effective tool.

Planners put together a Face-book page for the reunion andwith a few weeks left before theevent, about 50 people have con-firmed attendance.

“They’re sort of trickling in,”Beck said of reunion reservations.Both she and Best said the goal al-ways has been to attract about100 attendees.

While Beck said Facebook hasbeen a big help in contactingalumni, she also thinks the socialInternet site actually may have cutdown on the interest in the re-union. Classmates have stayed incontact through Facebook andother online methods. As a result,the class of ’01 isn’t as curiousabout their classmates.

“They already know whatthey’ve been doing, where theyare living,” Beck said.

KING COUNTY RIVER & FLOODPLAIN MANAGE-

MENT SECTIONFINAL PUBLIC NOTICEApplication for SevereRepetitive Loss Grant

King County Flood Control District has applied for Severe Repetitive Loss grant funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, (FEMA) to fund the Severe Repetitive Loss Home Elevations in Unin-corporated King County and the City of Issaquah. Pursuant to 44RFC 9.12 FEMA gives notice under Executive Order, (EO) 11988, Floodplain Man-agement and regarding the fol-lowing project:Project Description: This project involves the elevation of six repetit ively f looded homes above the base flood elevation in Unincorporated King County and the City of Is-saquah. King County Water and Land Resources Division (WLRD) is the project sponsor and sub-grantee.Program: Severe Repetitive Loss Grant ProgramStatement of why the homes are located in the floodplain:The homes included in this project were constructed prior to the establishment of the Na-tional Flood Insurance Pro-gram (NIFP), within the 100-year floodplain of the Snoqual-mie River and Issaquah Creek. Significant Facts: This proj-ect implements the goals of the 2006 King County Flood Hazard Management Plan. Proposed alternative projects were discussed at a public meeting held July 15, 2010 with home owners and repre-sentatives from FEMA, King County and the City of Sno-qualmie. Public notice was given prior to this meeting; however, no adverse com-ments were received. Each home was built prior to the adoption and implementation of floodplain development re-quirements. All six homes are classified as Severe Repetitive Loss Properties by the NIFP. The NIFP encourages com-munities to develop mitigation projects to mitigate repetitive loss properties. This elevation project includes seismic retrofit of the foundation systems in compliance with uniform build-ing codes.Alternatives Considered: Al-ternatives considered for the structures listed in this applica-tion included acquisition, ele-vation, and no action. This project is the best alternative to riverine flooding in each of the project locations because of the nature of the flood haz-ard and the likelihood of proj-ect success in mitigating the risk associated with this haz-ard. The properties included in this project are subject to deep floodwaters that do not often flow through the project sites at high velocities. As such, el-evating the homes is a practi-cal approach to the flood haz-ard, and by elevating the structures three feet above BFE, the elevation alternative provides a high likelihood of reducing future flood damages and protecting residents and their property. Elevation of the structures proposed here of-fers a cost effective solution that greatly reduces the need for future state or federal dis-aster assistance. Acquisitions are more suitable for areas where lateral channel migra-tion or severe erosion pres-ents a risk of undercutting a structure. Since these residen-ces do not face that type of risk, elevations are a more practical solution. Further-more, the high value of proper-

ty in King County makes ac-quisitions very expensive, and this approach rarely succeeds at being cost effective. The third option, no action, is not practical due to the fact that it would do nothing to mitigate the hazards faced by these structures, and the property owners would continue to be at risk, would continue to face the potential for disaster-relat-ed damages, and would con-tinue to file insurance claims under the National Flood In-surance Program.Applicability of State/Local Floodplain Standards: This project conforms to all applica-ble State/Local f loodplain standards.Affects to the Floodplain:These structures are located within the 100-year floodplain and may still suffer some ero-sion or foundation damage during flooding and structural and contents damages from floods greater than 100-year flood events. All materials used below the 100-year flood level will be flood resistant to minimize any potential dam-age, and hydrostatic openings will be placed in the elevated foundations. This project will have no affect on the flood-plains of the Snoqualmie River or Issaquah Creek.Responsible Official:Ms. Christine Jonientz-TrislerHazard Mitigation AssistanceBranch ChiefFEMA Region 10130 228th Street SW

By Jane Garrison

I was down at Boehm’s Candiesthe other day. The weather wasgray but warm, and I was feelinga little flat.

When I got out of my car, Isniffed the air to see if I could findthe wonderful scent of chocolate. Icouldn’t.

I couldn’t, because the smellof a fantastic rose overcameeverything. It flooded the park-ing lot, the air, and me. It wasterrific. I was uplifted just bythat smell.

The sense of smell is verystrong and capable of bringingback images and memories thatwe think are lost, including child-hood experiences or maybe a fan-tastic meal. A nice memory canlift your mood and change acloudy day into a sunny one. I’mnot sure if you can overload yoursenses or not, but it would be funto try.

It’s interesting to note that fra-grant plants and flowers aren’tcreating that wonderful smell forus; they are doing it for them-selves. They are trying to attractpollinators so they can reproduce.Certain bees, moths, beetles andbats are drawn to distinctiveodors, while birds and butterfliesare more interested in flowershapes and colors.

Bats like plants with musty aro-mas and will actually eat flowersat night when you can’t see themdo it. Remember, they eat mosqui-toes too.

Beetles have a good sense ofsmell but are colorblind. They likefruity, spicy scents and will eatflowers as they pollinate theplants. Most are beneficial and domore good than evil.

Flies are interesting. We knowthey like the smell of carrion anddung, so it’s no surprise that theypollinate skunk cabbage as well asother stinky plants.

Moths are usually nighttimefliers, pollinating flowers with thesweet odors, such as eveningprimrose.

Native bees like sweet smells,such as those you would find onroses, lilacs and fruit trees.

Insects do so much more thanjust bug us. Without them wewould not have many of theplants, flowers and fruits we enjoytoday.

In contrast, grasses are plain,ordinary, and dull colored, so theyare pollinated by the wind. Thewind doesn’t care what they looklike. But the insects and birds;they really care.

Some wonderful smelling plantsthat would bring pollinators toyour garden are:�Vines: Star Jasmine (mayfreeze) or honeysuckle�Shrubs: rosemary, (may freeze)lavender, roses, gardenia, Mexi-can orange and Burkwood Vibur-num�Herbs: thyme, marjoram,oregano and sage�Perennials: lily-of-the-valley,Cottage Pink, hyacinth, lily, stock,Sweet William, sweet violet

We need to appreciate our in-sects.

They suffered in our wet spring,which is why many people in theIssaquah area didn’t have fruit ontheir trees this year.

Protect the bugs by plantingbeautiful, smelly plants, and indoing so, make yourself happy,too.

Visit our clinics at the IssaquahFarmers Market, 9:30 a.m., and atSquak Mt. Greenhouses & Nurs-ery, 10 a.m., every Saturday.

Jane Garrison is a local landscape archi-tect and master gardener who gardens inglacial till on the Plateau.


Homeowners can take advan-tage of free soil tests from theKing Conservation District.

The conservation district offersup to five free soil studies per ad-dress for anyone within KingCounty, with a few geographic ex-ceptions. The exceptions do not af-fect anyone in the Issaquah area.

One main idea behind soilsampling is to prevent overfertil-ization, said Marcie Myers, a re-source planner for the King Con-servation District.

And, she added, there are sev-eral reasons why using too muchfertilizer is a bad idea.

Myers said the free samplingprogram was first intended forfarmers within the district, butofficials decided there was no

reason not to expand the offer.Myers said sampling could bene-fit all types of gardens, from veg-etable to flowers, as well aslawns.

Samples are tested by a privatelaboratory for pH, nitrate, phos-phate, extractable cations —potassium, magnesium, calciumand sodium — organic matterand cation exchange capacity.

Pronounced “cat ions,” almostas if it were two words, cations are

positively charged nutrients in thesoil. The exchange test calculatesthe level of nutrient holding capac-ity present in the soil. The higherthe number, the more nutrients thesoil can hold, Myers said.

Soil testing results generallyare available within three weeksand are mailed to the home of theparticipant along with a guide tointerpreting those results.

Excess fertilizer sets off whatmight be described as a chain re-action that is not at all beneficial tothe overall environment, accordingto comments made by Myers.

First, soil will only absorb somuch fertilizer material. The ex-cess material can end up con-taminating groundwater or joinrainwater in heading for stormsewers and, in either case, even-tually reach local waterways.Once there, the fertilizer can

cause algae blooms, robbing wa-ter of oxygen, which in turnhurts the local fish population.

Myers added that if you stillare unconvinced too much fertil-izer is a bad thing, just remem-ber you could be paying for fer-tilizer you just don’t need. Somegardeners simply need a littleeducation on the proper use offertilizer, she added.

For example, Myers said peo-ple sometimes assert that if theycover their lawn with twice asmuch fertilizer as they think theyneed, it will last twice as long.

Wrong. Myers said the excess simply

would run off or leach intogroundwater long before it is ofany benefit.

If house sparrows overtake aswallow nest box or Europeanstarlings claim a house meant forpurple martins, the problemmight be in the housing providedby gardeners and homeowners.

The design flaws can allow ag-gressive, non-native birds tothrive and push native speciesinto decline.

Some ready-made birdhousesmay look cute, but might not bedesigned to keep the bullies of thebird world out.

Birds do not need perches, forexample, but the features attracthouse sparrows and starlings.

The state Department of Fishand Wildlife recommends for de-sign and construction of bird-houses to be species-specific.

The most important part is theentrance hole. If the hole is toosmall, the desired bird cannot enter.If the entrance is too big, undesir-able wildlife — such as non-nativesparrows and starlings, and unin-vited squirrels — can get in andharm, evict or kill the intended bird.

As a rule, house sparrows can-not enter a nest box if the en-trance hole is less than 1 1/8inches in diameter. Starlings can-not enter if the hole is less than 11/2 inches in diameter.

Birdhouses often need to bemaintained on a yearly basis tostick to the specs. Patch or re-store the entrance holes aftersquirrels or woodpeckers attemptto enlarge them.

If aggressive, non-nativespecies persist, design alterna-

tives exist.A diamond-shaped entrance

hole measuring no more than 7/8of 1 inch deep and up to 3 1/2inches wide should exclude housesparrows and starlings.

To accommodate the slightly big-ger violet-green swallow, file downthe area inside of the entry hole byjust one-quarter of 1 inch.

The purple martin is a speciesin need of some suitable nestsites within Western Washington,because the species seems to bein decline. In fact, the purplemartin is a candidate for stateprotective listing, in part becauseof competition from sparrowsand starlings.

State Biologist Chris Andersonsaid although purple martins nestin colonies, “apartment complex”-style birdhouses can be a problemin urban areas with numerousstarlings and house sparrows.

“A cluster of gourds drilledwith holes seems to be much lesspreferred by starlings and housesparrows and the martins lovethem,” Anderson said.

Also, be more strategic in plac-ing bird nest boxes.

Martins, like all swallows, feedon insects, mostly on the wing,and often over water where in-sects concentrate. Hanging agourd collection over water makesthe nesting spot much more entic-ing to martins and less inviting tosparrows and starlings.

Neither non-native species usu-ally nests within 10 feet of theground. Placing nest boxes 4 to 5

feet off the ground and in brushyareas should discourage housesparrows and starlings, and shouldbe used by many native species,such as bluebirds to wrens.

However, nest boxes at thelower height can be vulnerable topredators, such as cats.

If push comes to shove, remov-ing house sparrows or Europeanstarlings from nesting in a bird-house is allowed under law. Be-cause state and federal law do notprotect the non-native species, itis legal to remove the birds’ nestsand destroy their eggs. Nests mayneed to be removed five or sixtimes before sparrows or starlingsfinally abandon the house.

Sometimes, the best thing to doin areas plagued by starlings orhouse sparrows is to let the birdswin and not use bird nest boxesat all.

Downtown Issaquah isn’t necessarily related to JaneGarrison’s duties as a docent for the Issaquah HistoryMuseums at the Gilman Town Hall Museum.

Still, it seems appropriate that Garrison can speakhappily and fluently about the background of various

downtown buildings and landmarks.“I love downtown Issaquah. I love the buildings,” said

the talkative and friendly Garrison, 70.With an architectural landscaping business of her

own on Front Street for roughly 25 years, Garrison saidthat after she retired she got to know and truly appreci-ate the feel of downtown Issaquah. Always having beenan artist, one of her side projects included pen-and-pen-

cil drawing of various downtown landmarks.The spots she sketched include Triple XXX Rootbeer

Drive-in, the Eagles Hall and the salmon hatchery. Gar-rison initially made the drawings strictly for her ownenjoyment. But now she has decided to use the sketchesto create some very unique and localized greeting cards.

A portion of the proceeds from sales of the cards willbenefit the history museums. The cards are blank in-side, but one of Garrison’s 12 drawings appears on thefront along with a history capsule about the location de-picted.

The histories contain some lesser-known facts. Forexample, you might have known that the XXX was oncea large chain that catered to the car culture of the 1950sand 1960s. But did you also know there are only twoleft? Or that the name comes from the fact that, duringProhibition, placing “XXX” on a product meant it con-tained no alcohol?

One of Garrison’s favorite drawings is of the Alexan-der House on Northwest Gilman Boulevard.

Built in 1902, the house once served as a resort on theshores of Lake Sammamish. Then Puget Power eventu-ally purchased both the home and the property it sat on.With help from the company, the local historical societymoved the home to a temporary new location in 1986.After another move to its current location, in 1989, it be-came the headquarters of the Greater Issaquah Chamberof Commerce and Issaquah Visitor’s Center.

For the most part, Garrison stayed carefully true tothe modern-day appearance of her subjects. One excep-tion was the hatchery. Her drawing is somewhat styl-ized, showing off aspects of the facility that are spreadout in reality. She also did away with the fencing aroundthe hatchery.

Garrison’s other cards include the historic Shell gasstation on Front Street, the Odd Fellows Hall andBoehm’s Candies.

While the cards are on her mind presently, Garrisonwrites a regular gardening column for The IssaquahPress. She also is working on a series of paintings shedubbed “Suburbanality.” They are snapshots of subur-ban scenes, but perhaps not the ones you might expect.

For example, a painting of Interstate 90 might em-phasize the ugliness of the freeway cutting throughgreen mountainsides. Garrison was able to sell the firstpainting in the series to Swedish Medical Center.

Issaquah and Sammamish residentsare among those involved in an up-coming dance production that detailsthe origins of five holy Hindu tem-ples.

The production, “Kshetram,” featuresdance, music and poetry from India thatweaves together the stories of the begin-nings of five of the 108 temples dedicated toVishnu, the god of Vishnavite Hinduism.The event is organized by Abhinay FineArts, an Eastside nonprofit organizationthat promotes classical Indian art in theSeattle area.

The production includes three differentand distinct forms of Indian dance. Sam-mamish resident Preetha Anandh perfoms“Bharatanatyam,” a fast-paced dance withstructured footwork that is said to repre-sent fire. Issaquah resident Smitha Krish-nan performs “Mohiniattam,” a more fluiddance with facial expressions and handgestures that signifies the “breeze blowing

through the paddy fields” of Kerala, astate at the southern tip of India.

Both Anandh and Krishnan were trainedin their dances while growing up in India.Anandh, who came to the United Statesfour years ago, said events like this helpkeep the traditions and art of the Indiancommunity alive. That’s especially impor-tant for the children of Indian immigrantswho were born here in America, she said.

“It’s an opportunity for the kids to seeour cultural heritage,” Anandh said. “For

lots of next-generation kids, this might betheir first time seeing this.”

In addition to the dance performances,the production includes original musiccomposed and recorded in India for theevent. Lakshmi Sanjay and Sanjay Subra-manian, co-founders of Abhinay FineArts, flew to India to recruit musiciansand record the music.

The production has been a six-month la-bor of love for Anandh and Krishnan. Withthe performance date approaching, thetwo have been rehearsing their parts daily.

“The dance is very demanding physi-cally,” Krishnan said. “If we don’t practiceevery day we won’t have the stamina toperform it.”

With all the hard work that’s gone intothe production, Anandh and Krishnansaid they are hopeful that Sept. 25 will bethe first of many showings.

“This is just the debut performance,”Anandh said. “We’re hoping we’ll havemore opportunities to perform it becausewe’ve put so much money and effort intoit.”
