BY MEGAN CAMPBELLISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

For long-time Sammamish resi-dent Harry Shedd, a “yes” for the initiative and referendum advisory vote is a no brainer.

“Who could vote against a con-stitutional privilege,” Shedd said. “This is a very simple deal. … We should have these voting rights.”

The advisory vote on the April 28 ballot is to gauge how many residents want these rights, but majority approval does not automatically give Sammamish citizens initiative and referendum powers. The city council would

still have to approve it.If the city council approves

initiative and referendum powers, the public would have the ability to initiate and enact certain types of legislation, as well as repeal or approve certain types of ordinanc-es adopted by the council.

The opposition to the ballot says the initiatives and referenda are not needed in the city, as it is one of the best-run cities in America. Some council members have their reservations as well, worried the powers could do more harm than good.

Patterson Creek gains 122 acres

SEE ADVISORY, 6

State transferred forestland to buy land better suited for timber revenue

On Tuesday, the Washington State Board of Natural Resources authorized the transfer of of just over 122 acres of forestland to King County to include in its Patterson Creek Park Natural Area. The State Board sold the land to the County for $3.025 million according to a press release.

The acreage is located between Sam-mamish and Issaquah, is nearly sur-rounded by residential development. The state Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will use the sale’s proceeds to purchase forestland better suited for pro-ducing revenue for the Common School Trust.

Council throws support behind county radio tax

Sammamish initiative, referenda power going to vote

BY DANIEL NASHISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

The Issaquah City Council on Monday voted unanimously to throw its support behind a county property tax measure to fund a new radio system for emergency services.

Proposition No. 1 on the April 28 special election ballot, if approved, would authorize an additional property tax of $0.07 per $1,000 of assessed value to fund the Puget Sound Emergency Radio Network, estimated by King County officials to cost $246 mil-lion.

The “yes” statement for the mea-sure — authored by King County Sheriff John Urquhart, Seattle Police Chief Kathleen O’Toole and Redmond Mayor John Marchione — estimated the median county homeowner would see a little more than $2 per month increase on property taxes.

Real estate database company Zillow estimates the median home value in Issaquah to be $533,600, an amount that would incur an annual property tax increase of $37.35.

Already the first person has announced her candi-dacy for the Sammamish City Council.

Christie Malchow, 41, has lived in Sam-mamish with her husband and

two children since 2011. Malchow earned her

MBA at Regis University in Denver and her bach-elor’s at the University of Kansas. She’s worked in the medical device and biotechnology industries before having children.

Two of Cougar Mountain Zoo’s resident Bengal tigers, Taj (background) and Almos (foreground) will celebrate their eighth birthdays April 18. They were the zoo’s first tigers.


The Cougar Mountain Zoo will recog-nize the birthdays of two of its Bengal tigers during its Earth Day celebration April 18.

The tigers, Taj and Almos, turn 8 this month.

The pair were born three weeks apart in captivity in a Florida tiger preserve.

They were relocated to the Cougar

Mountain Zoo in 2007 once they were old enough to be separated from their mothers. Taj, a rare Golden Bengal, was 7 weeks old and Almos, a Royal White, was 4 weeks.

“They’ve been inseparable since they were cubs,” zoo spokesperson Cari McKin-stry said. “They’re best friends and they’re like brothers.”

City manager to step down in 2016

Happy birthday to two tigers

After more than a decade, Sammamish City Manager Ben Yazici announced he would retire next year.

Yazici, 55, first joined the city as public works finance director in Janu-ary 2000, just six months after the city incorporated.

He chose to step down February 2016 in the hopes of seeing some larger city projects completed — like the commu-nity center, the Klahanie annexation and Mars Hill Church.

“That’s probably a good, clean time to say goodbye,” he said.

He looks forward to spending more time with his family, he said.

Yazici made the announcement during city council’s Tuesday executive session.

Eastside Fire & Rescue seeks volunteers

Eastside Fire & Rescue will accept applications for volunteer firefighters until June 15 at 4 p.m.

Volunteer firefighters are tasked with “protecting lives and property through activities associated with fire prevention, fire sup-pression, hazardous mate-rial management, rescue, and emergency medical assistance,” according to the job description.

Applicants must be at least 18 years old, possess a high school diploma or GED, live within EF&R service area or within five miles of a station, under-stand English and have a valid state drivers license. Applicants must also sub-mit their driving record.

Those who qualify must pass a pre-hire background check, psychological evalu-ation, medical physical and a drug screening.

After initial training, volunteers are required to attend weekly training ses-sions and when requested will assist in emergency and non-emergency responses.

There are nearly 70 vol-unteers in Eastside Fire & Rescue, which manages five volunteer-staffed and nine career-staffed stations.

The cities of Sammamish, Issaquah, North Bend and King County districts 10 and 38 are part of the East-side Fire & Rescue interlo-cal agreement.

To learn more about volunteering and to find ap-plication instructions, visit http://eastsidefire-rescue.org/Volunteers/Default.htm.

Boater safety classes to be held before summer

The local United States Coast guard Auxiliary Eastside Flotilla 22 will present three one-day classes on boating rules and safety.

Washington state law now requires all persons between the ages of 12 and 60 years of age to have a state Boater Education Card in their possession when operating a boat powered by a 15 horsepow-er motor or greater. Vessel operators who are required to have a Boater Education

Card must carry the card on board the vessel and have it available for inspec-tion by an enforcement officer. Not carrying a card can result in a fine.

The one day class will be held between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., on Saturdays; April 25, May 30 and June 27. The classes will be held at Bellevue Fire Station #9 in Newcastle at 12412 Newcastle Way. The cost is $30 for the class materials and the test. Registrants are asked to register and pay two weeks in advance in order to receive the book before the class begins.

Those who attend the one day class and pass the examination at the end of the day, will receive a cer-tificate which may be used to apply for a Washington state Boater Education card. The ABS class is taught by experienced boat-ers who are Coast Guard Auxiliary instructors.

For more information or to register, email Terrence Hooper at [email protected] or call 425-885-0259. For more on state law regarding boating and vessel registration, go to http://boat.wa.gov/regula-tions.asp.

gency radio network was completed in 1997 and has operated under the owner-ship of the county govern-ment, the city of Seattle, the Eastside Public Safety Communications Agency and Valley Communica-tions Center.

“It is not just in the times of dire emergency that this radio system is used,” Emergency Radio System Project Director David Mendel said. “It is used every single day by every single call by police or fire or (emergency med-ical services). Your school district has radios on this radio system. General gov-ernment has radios on this radio system. It’s a crucial

part of our everyday fabric of getting business done and protecting citizens.”

But the current system, known as KCERCS, has required increasing repairs over time, Mendel said. And the system will face an imminent end when its vendor stops supplying re-placement parts and repairs at the close of 2018, he said.

The “against” com-mittee on Proposition 1, comprised of fire commis-sioners Mark Thompson and James A. Fossos, have stated that they support a new radio system but are concerned with the prop-erty tax funding model. Their statement noted that revenues could potentially drop with property values, leaving fire agencies with the bill and forced to cut costs in other areas, such

as personnel.Issaquah Councilmem-

ber Stacy Goodman said that while she would ulti-mately support the city’s endorsement of Proposi-tion 1, she had reserva-tions about a lack of time to fully review the details of the proposition. She also noted a September 9, 2014 letter from King County Auditor Kymber Waltmunson that de-scribed network replace-ment as “an expensive and high-risk endeavor that could benefit from clearer and more comprehensive analysis and a greater focus on project manage-ment practices.”

Ballots for the April 28 election were mailed out Wednesday. The deadline to register to vote is April 20.

Opportunity lost

It is a huge disappointment that legislation pro-posed to raise the legal age to buy tobacco to 21 failed.

The bill, requested by Attorney General Bob Ferguson, would raise the legal age to buy tobacco from 18 to 21. However, House Bill 1458 did not make it through a committee hearing that reduced the proposed upper age limit of 21 for buying tobacco products to 19. The original proposal was essentially rendered useless. The new law, sponsored by Sen. Mark Miloscia (R-Federal Way) and Rep. Tina Orwall (D-Des Moines), would apply to tobacco and other nicotine products, including “vaping.” A mountain of research, including a recent report from the Institute of Medicine, indicates that increasing the smoking age to 21 would significantly reduce the number of young people who start smoking; reduce deaths from smoking; and immediately improve the health of adolescents, young adults and those around them. So why is this so hard? The period from late adoles-cence to young adulthood is when smoking begins. We should be pushing any way possible to stem the tide of new smokers. Research from the Centers for Disease Control indicates that each day in the United States, more than 3,200 people younger than 18 years of age smoke their first cigarette, and an estimated 2,100 youth and young adults who have been occasional smokers become daily cigarette smokers. More young men begin smoking than young women. But a newer trend has emerged with both young men and women using a variety of tobacco-type products. Smoking is expensive and gross. The effects of smoking not only kill smokers but harm those around them. We all end up paying the price.

Lets stick with the truth on the N.E. 42nd St. Barricade

While I can respect the right of

others to differ with me, that does not give them the right to disguise who they represent, make false statements, or to junk the sci-ence as is often observed in their demands to try and get this highly unique barricade removed.

The latest attempts to confuse the issue are claims that retaining this emergency barricade is creating unsafe situations within Timber-line. I am quite informed on this matter and know those making this argument do not truly represent the neighborhoods of Timberline, Timberline Park, WaterBrook, or Hid-den Ridge. Odd that those few now crying “safety” demanding the bar-ricade’s removal fail to tell the truth, that they are not really impacted by traffic flow by the barrier protect-ing residential neighborhoods from becoming arterials.

I believe the City Council knows the many unique road system dis-crepancies, challenges, expenses, and risks associated with this barricade’s opening, and that there are no safe, cheap, or easy fixes. The stark truth is that opening the barricade would solve no problem and create many se-rious problems. The Council showed understanding in its Feb. 17 resolution vote to leave the emergency opticom barricade in place.

Vote ‘Yes’ for Sammamish annexation

It has been my long-held belief that the Greater Klahanie Area (which in-cludes the planned community of Kla-hanie and also the adjoining neigh-borhoods) would be a good fit not only for the citizens of Sammamish, but also for the residents that cur-rently live in that area. Not only will the residents in this unincorporated area of King County enjoy the finan-cial windfall of their taxes going down

by joining the City of Sammamish (based on the study conducted by the City of Sammamish), but they will also benefit from enhanced police protection as well as the knowledge that their excellent fire services will continue to be provided by Eastside Fire and Rescue. One only has to look at the map and realize the Greater Klahanie Area is already bordered by a large area of Sammamish that appears as if a piece of a puzzle had been left out in the initial incorpora-tion over 15-years ago. In addition, many of those in the Klahanie Area enjoy the services that the City of Sammamish provides with desirable parks and an opportunity to have the park in Klahanie maintained to the same exceptional standards. Those in the Klahanie Area are already on the Sammamish Plateau and use the newer King County public library situated in the Sammamish Town Center. In addition, many of the youth in the Klahanie Area attending the Skyline High School across from the Sammamish City Hall and Civic Center will be taking advantage of the Community and Aquatic Center in partnership with the YMCA that will be opening soon in the Town Center of Sammamish. We also have a shared interest in improving the roadways used by both Sammamish citizens and Klahanie Area residents. A “yes” vote for annexation would provide a mu-tual benefit of focusing our combined tax revenues and provide the oppor-tunity to improve roadways to relieve

congestion on both the Issaquah-Pine Lake Road and SE Issaquah Fall City Road. A “yes” vote will be a cost sav-ings and lead to improved services to the residents of the Greater Klahanie Area with no financial impact to the current citizens of the City of Sam-mamish… a true win/win.

My hope is those that those living in the Greater Klahanie Area will have the opportunity to be welcomed with open arms by the citizens of Sam-mamish. I encourage those in this unincorporated area of King County to take this important step for a better future by voting “yes” and returning your ballots to join the City of Sam-mamish.

HUGE $5.97 SPRING PLANT SALEIssaquah, Washington

Oh my gosh, it’s barely spring, and we have way too many great plants! They have to go! We’ve had such an early spring they need to be in gardens!

We have quart, one gallon, and even 2 gallon size plants priced at just $5.97, including about 10 different kinds of trees and shrubs and over 25 flavors of perennials. Lots of them were grown right here in our front yard. Our plants are hardy and beautiful and ready for their forever homes.

My favorite is the Kousa Chinese Dogwoods. Some of these are almost 3 ft tall, in big 2 gallon pots. Honestly, these should be priced at about $20, and I should have my head examined for selling them for $5.97. That’s crazy. No way you can do that unless you grow them yourself. You have to see these.

We have Japanese Red Maple trees. Can you believe that? A Japanese Red Maple for $5.97? They’re about 2 ft tall, with bright red leaves and trunks, and they’re so darn cute.

Shrubs? We have big 2 gallon Fujino Spireas. Fujino is the first Spirea to bloom in spring. We have Nugget Ninebarks bright gold leaves. Some of these are 2 gallon size, also.

Lots of the Doublefile Viburnums are 2 gallon size, and they’ll be covered with white flowers

in about a month. Very showy, very easy.

All this stuff is $5.97!

We have about 9 kinds of Coral Bells. Some are fire engine red, some are sort of a frosty red, some are kind of peachy, some are burgundy, and some are so dark they are almost black. This is probably the largest collection of Coral Bells you’ll find anywhere, but it won’t last long.

Looking for plants for shade? We’re all over it with Hostas. I don’t even know how many different varieties we have. Green and white, green and gold, plain green, and they are all growing like crazy.

You know what looks great with Hostas? Old Fashioned Bleeding Hearts. These little guys are in bloom right now, with lots cute pink and while flowers, and the foliage is so feathery and light. These keep growing year after year, getting nice and full but not taking over. Well behaved.

There’s lots more, all $5.97. I can’t even think of it all.

We’ve got a great little plant that deer don’t like. It’s called Purple Euphorbia, and it is awesome. Deep wine colored leaves, with brilliant yellow-green flowers on top. Stays in flower for months, and the handsome foliage is evergreen. Can’t ask for much more than that. It’s coming into bloom right now, and the flowers will last for

months. Tuck in some Japanese Forest Grass, which is also deer resistant, and those golden girls will light up any landscape.

Are you looking for evergreens? We have Bird’s Nest Spruce. These fuzzy little guys will keep a green spot in your garden all year long without taking up too much space. And Rosemary, the kind you use for those delicious recipes, is beautiful with it’s blue green little needles and bright blue flowers.

We have good looking, low maintenance, high performance groundcovers. Emerald & Gold Wintercreeper, Emerald Gaiety Wintercreeper, and Bearberry Cotoneaster. These choke out weeds, fill in open spaces, cascade down hills, and are hardy as rocks.

Looking for groundcovers with flowers? Got that too! Candytuft has about a bazillion little white flowers and looks great cascading over walls, and Lithodora has bright blue flowers and is one of the easiest plants ever. Put it next to the driveway where the sprinkler doesn’t quite reach, and walk away. It’ll be just fine.

Nothing says spring like Azaleas in bloom! We have Hino Crimson, and Vuyk’s Scarlet, and Ramapo, which is really a Rhododendron, covered with purple blue flowers, only $7.97.

And I saved the best for last. We’ve got absolutely lovely Japanese Laceleaf Maples.

We’ve got hardy classics like Tamukeyama and Bloodgood and Crimson Queen, big 4-6 year old plants, for $29. If you’re looking for something special, we have Sango Kaku and Beni Kawa, both with brilliant red bark. We have Red Filigree Lace, Pixie, Orangeola, and even Mikawa Yatsubusa. Google that one if you’re looking for something amazing. Maple geeks welcome!

Come on over FRIDAY, SATURDAY and SUNDAY starting April 10 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Our little nursery is called The Daily Plant-It, and we’re open every weekend this spring. It’s first come, first served, and some of these beauties will go fast. We’re at 10603 Issaquah Hobart Rd, Issaquah. That’s about a mile south of Issaquah (98027 if you’re putting it into your GPS.)

There’s a yellow sign that says TODAY, HUGE $5.97 PLANT SALE on the west side of the road. Come on down the driveway, we’ve got plenty of parking right near the plants.

Want to know more about us? Our website is WWW.THEDAILYPLANTIT.COM. But really, do you want more screen time or do you want great plants? Just get in the car and come see us! We’re a real nursery where we grow our own plants. You won’t find that going on at pretty much any other nursery around Seattle. Okay? See you this weekend!

Coffee, conversation, and copsSammamish police held an informal meet-and-greet with residents April 2

Several Sammamish residents showed up and spoke with Sammamish Police at the informal "Coffee with a Cop" event at Starbucks at the corner of 228th Avenue and Northeast Fourth Street April 2.

Chief Nathan Elledge was among the several officers at the coffeehouse from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m.

The goal was to meet residents and give them an op-portunity to ask questions and voice concerns — or to just stop by and say hello.

Some people did just that, sharing their appreciation for the work the department does.

Others asked questions like what they should do when they see a suspicious car. A few voiced concerns regarding speeding vehicles.

The event was a success, Elledge said. And they will definitely do it again.

Next time, the department will look into holding the event in the evening so people who work business hours can join, Elledge said.

The next event has not been scheduled yet.

April 3HOUSE FIRE: Eastside Fire & Rescue Sta-tion 87 responded to a structure fire in a detached garage in North Bend at 7:27 p.m. in the 13800 block of 440th Place Southeast. Upon arrival, crews saw smoke coming from the eaves of the building. The home-owners used a garden hose inside the house to keep flames at bay. Crews completed extinguishing the fire. The cause is still

being investigated by the King County Fire Investigation Unit.CITIZEN CPR: Eastside Fire & Rescue Sta-tion 83 responded to a cardiac arrest at the Columbia Athletic Club on 228th Avenue Southeast at 9:46 a.m. The patient was conscious upon arrival. A citizen performed CPR and used a Public Access Defibrillator on the victim. It took emergency respond-ers four minutes to arrive. A medical unit transported the patient to the hospital.

Shedd, part of the grass-roots group Citizens for Sammamish, has been working to get the mea-sure on the ballot since November 2014; he’s been advocating for these rights, however, for several years.

He thinks the majority of people will vote yes; now it’s a matter of waiting to see how many turnout.

Shortly after the city council put the issue up for a public vote in February, Citizens for Sammamish took to the streets. Red signs supporting the mea-sure are stationed through-out the city.

“It’d be nice to have input on the council,” sign waver and long-term resident Dean DeAlteriis said. He and others were stationed at Issaquah-Pine Lake Road and 228th Avenue NE a few weeks ago.

An initiative gives voters the ability to enact legisla-tion directly, without coun-cil approval. A referendum gives residents a chance to vote on an ordinance

30 days after the council passes it.

At the state level, since 1912, all Washington residents have initiative and referendum powers, but only about 35 percent of Washington cities have them at the local level.

At the county level, about 43 percent of King County cities have initiatives and referenda, according to 2014 Municipal Research and Services Center data.

However, since most of the county’s top 10 largest cities have these pow-ers — excluding Kirkland, Sammamish and the county portion of Auburn — about 80 percent of county residents live in a town with initiatives and referenda. These percentages were generated using 2012 King County population data.

“About the only way we can express our interests is through these voting rights,” Shedd said. “It’s a matter of having it there. … We’d like it ready if we have a hot-button issue.”

The public would not use these right very often, Shedd said, in part because time consuming process.

It begins with a petition. The petition must have signatures from registered voters equal to 15 percent of the number of registered voters in the city as of the most recent general elec-tion.

There are 28,660 people registered to vote in Sammamish, as of King County’s April 1 records.

If a valid petition filed seeks a referendum, the ordinance goes to vote at the election. If a valid peti-tion filed for an initiative, the council can approve it within 20 days or they can send it to the polls.

There seems to be some fear over outside money influencing citizens, as the legislation would allow for paid signature collectors. In the voter’s pamphlet, Steve Teichler, who wrote the opposing statement, mentioned Tim Eyman’s initiatives in Issaquah, Sequim, Blaine, Chellan, Shelton and Mukilteo, as an example of how outside interest groups could cost citizens money.

Eyman, a conservative political activist for small government, has his-tory of taking on initiatives throughout the state, like

trying to repeal Seattle’s $15 minimum wage.

Deputy Mayor Kathleen Huckabay big concerns include the lack of public process. With initiatives and referenda, Huckabay is worried the short time period allotted to get these issues on a ballot would not fully explore the public’s opinion and it would curb in-depth analysis and con-versation.

The argument that this is a way to keep the council in check, doesn’t hold with Huckabay. The process to get something on the council agenda and then to approve it is a valid method for keeping tabs on council action, she said.

There is an extensive, and somewhat broad, list of topics citizens could use initiatives and referenda on. For space reasons, that list was not printed. It can be viewed online at is-saquahreporter.com.

King County ballot boxes will be stationed at city hall from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on April 25, 27 and 18.

elected leaders vote the idea down, the extremists get to bring their idea to a vote of the people — at a huge expense to the city. The tactic not only diminishes the City Council’s power, it also a new way for corporate money to flow into local politics.

I watched it happen in 4 small cities last Fall. The Freedom Foundation, an extreme right-wing think-tank in Olympia, tried to pass local city initiatives to destroy unions at the local level. It didn’t work because the City Attorneys were smart and diligent and the courts said that particular initiative was illegal — but the cities were all stuck with big legal bills.

The more troubling underbelly of this vote is that we don’t know who exactly is behind the campaign to implement this initiative process. Citizens for Sam-mamish is the front focus, but the political action group has refused to file with the Public Disclosure Commission (as required by law). The voters need to know exactly who is funding all the newspaper ads, signs and bumper stickers and if outside interests are coordinating the effort.

The initiative & referendum process will cost our city money each time someone wants to skirt the City Council, diminish local control and open the door for corporate legislation –Please, VOTE NO on April 28.

At its regular monthly public meeting on April 7, the Board of Natural Resources authorized DNR to purchase 1,720 acres of forestland north of Quinault Indian Reserva-tion on the western Olympic Peninsula. The $5.2 million purchase from The Nature Conservancy will be funded by proceeds from previous sales and state-funded conserva-tion transfers of under-productive trust lands.

The new purchase will become part of the Olympic State Experimental Forest, which DNR manages under its Habitat Conservation Plan for timber revenue to trust land beneficiaries, including the Common School Trust.

Taj, despite growing up to be smaller than Almos (though “small,” in a tiger’s case, could be 300 pounds) has maintained a big brotherly dominance in their relation-ship thanks to their relatively undisturbed seclusion. Zoo Education Coordinator Amanda Vandel describes him as having a regal attitude.

“He’s rare and he knows it,” she said with a laugh.

The two were the first residents of Tiger Encounter, a cozy and caged habitat that al-lows zoo staff to train and care for the ani-mals, as well as take guests on “tiger tunnel” tours and observe the animals more closely from a glass enclosure. Construction on Tiger Falls — a naturalistic habitat for adolescent and adult tigers — was already underway, promising Taj and Almos an open playground as soon as they grew large enough to use it.

The zoo has since acquired two more Bengals: Vitez and Bagheera, both now 6. The younger and elder pairs are kept sepa-rated, rotating between the two habitats.

Eight’s an interesting number for the Bengal. In the wild an 8-year-old tiger would be nearing the end of his life, able to expect — perhaps — two more years. In captivity that same tiger is only middle-aged, free from competition for resources and the threat of poachers.

“Life in the wild is hard,” McKinstry said. “So they might not live all that long out there. But here, we provide their food, their water, shelter, health care, dental care, so they live quite a bit longer.”

On a recent tiger tunnel tour given to a Snoqualmie woman and her visiting grandsons from Wisconsin, McKinstry and Vandel went through the daily life and pleasures of Taj and Almos. First, they demonstrated husbandry training and the process of giving treats to reinforce obedient behaviors that come unnaturally but allow the animals to receive care. They pointed out “chuffing,” a sort of controlled sneezing sound the tigers give off to show

affection. Vandel joked about the tigers’ relationship with the cougars in the neigh-boring exhibit.

“They do sometimes get into these fake turf wars through the gates,” she said. “They can see each other through the opening and they’ll pace back and forth to protect their territory even though they’re separated.”

Though the Cougar Mountain tigers live a comfortable life, they’re thought of as am-bassadors for conservation and the plight of tigers in the wild.

That’s because the species has dwindled to the lowest depths of endangerment, with three of its nine subspecies already extinct. The World Wildlife Foundation estimates current populations could be as low as 3,200 tigers — or roughly one-tenth of the population of Issaquah.

“They’ve been hunted to near extinction over the past 100 years,” McKinstry said. “There used to be enough tigers to fill every single seat of CenturyLink (Field). Now, there’s maybe enough to fill one section. Tigers have seen a 97 percent reduction of their population in just a century.”

However, she added that Bengal tigers in particular have seen some growth over the past four years. Vandel noted that India had declared the Bengal its national animal and had recently thrown renewed energy into the Project Tiger initiative originally launched in 1973.

“It’s much like how the bald eagle re-ceived national recognition here and was able to recover with the renewed attention of people,” Vandel said.

The theme of the Cougar Mountain Zoo’s Earth Day celebration is “Party for the Planet.” The event will be visited by the Pacific Northwest Herpetological Society and Mountains-To-Sound Greenway, with desserts from Nothing Bundt Cakes and Borracchini’s Bakery.

Taj’s and Almos’ birthday celebration will take place at 1 p.m., when they’ll receive gift boxes of meat.

“Once they are given to the tigers, they will tear them apart,” McKinstry said.

On April 1, King County launched a live camera feed of baby kokanee salmon — also known as fry — being raised in the Issaquah State Salmon Hatchery.

The fry are the spawn of kokanee taken from Ebright Creek in December and they will be kept in an environment of safety and plenty at the hatchery for the next several weeks before being returned to the creek, according to information on the Kokanee Kam Web page.

Lake Sammamish’s kokanee are one of only two populations native to the Puget

Sound basin and they will spend their entire lives in the lake and its tributaries.

The Lake Sammamish Kokanee Work Group will release the kokanee at the Hans Jensen area of Lake Sammamish State Park from 12-2 p.m. April 24. The park is located at 4460 East Lake Sam-mamish Parkway Southeast.

Until then, the Kokanee Kam can be found at kingcounty.gov, on the environ-ment page under the “Services” tab.Daniel Nash: 425-391-0363 ext. 5052; [email protected]


Officials from the Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery an-nounced April 2 that the organization had hired Karen Kane as its new executive director.

Kane began her duties April 1, the day after former Executive Director Jane Kuechle retired from FISH.

“I am just thrilled to be

returning to the Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery,” Kane said in FISH’s announcement. “I feel so honored to help carry on the legacy of FISH, just as the salmon carry on their magnificent legacy year after year.”

From 2002 to 2007, Kane worked as FISH’s education coordinator. Presently, the organization offers a number of salmon and watershed education programs, including tours, in-school presentations

and day camps at the Issaquah State Salmon Hatchery.

FISH is a volunteer support organization for the Issaquah State Salmon Hatchery, the most-visited hatchery in Washington state. Docents and guides for FISH educate the pub-lic on the watershed and the life cycle of salmon.

Your guide to Real Estate and Home Buying & Selling

BY MEGAN CAMPBELLISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Turning off the light when you leave a room is good practice — but that electrical outlet still might cost you. Loose outlets, like poorly insulated walls or poorly sealed win-dows, contribute to inefficient homes.

“You wouldn’t think about energy escaping through your light switches,” Sammamish homeowner Becky Henchman said.

Henchman, 50, lives with her husband and 10-year-old son in the “typical plateau house,” built in 1988 in the 22000 block of Northeast 23rd Street.

The couple hired Washington Energy Ser-vices to evaluate the two-story, 2,600-square-

foot house in early March. The three-hour home energy audit is a

comprehensive inspection, evaluating health and comfort concerns like insufficient insula-tions, defective ducts, gas leaks and ineffi-cient lighting and appliances.

“We find that air leakage is a huge problem in houses of this age,” Washington Energy Services home auditor Cory Tobin, 26, said.

Many of the Sammamish homes were built between the 1970s and ’90s, with room for environmental improvements.

One of the major reasons the Henchmans paid for the audit was to get a better under-standing of why the upstairs master bedroom can’t hold heat in the winter and why it boils in the summer.

No matter what they did, Becky Hench-man said, the room wouldn’t stay the right temperature.

The Henchmans pay about $239 per month in energy costs.

Washington Energy listed several recom-mendations and suggested prioritizing mak-ing the house airtight, by sealing penetra-tions in crawlspaces.

If the family makes all the recommenda-tions, Washington Energy estimates the family will save more than $8,000 in energy and fuel costs over a 10-year period.

Washington Energy boasts it program helped 70 Puget Sound customers save 21 percent in energy usage in the last year.

Since they bought their home in 2000, the Henchmans have tried to steadily improve the house. They’ve replaced some of the downstairs windows, but Becky said she would have never thought about some of the improvements Tobin pointed out.

“It’ll help you create the priority list,” Henchman said.

It costs about $400 for a Washington Energy home audit.

Puget Sound Energy, which contracts with many companies like Washington Energy Services, will pay for a first-time basic evalu-ation, valued at $100.

“Even though we lose a few dollars a month (by recommending people improve their home’s efficiency), we save millions on the whole scale,” Puget Sound Energy Advi-sor Rob Dunn said. “We want people to be more efficient.”

When people use energy more efficiently, Puget Sound Energy produces or purchases less electricity, saving money on a larger scale.

‘Tis the season to think green


Sammamish homeowner Becky Henchman watches Washington Energy Services home auditor Cory Tobin use a smoke pen to show air leaks within the home. The fan hooked up to the front door simulates winds all around the house to demonstrate how airtight the home is. Tobin, using the pen and infrared camera, walked throughout the house, evaluating areas like windows and vents.

Just about half of Puget Sound Homeowners consider themselves very energy conscious and try to do some-thing to help the environment daily, according to a Washington Energy Services study released this week.

The semi-annual Northwest Energy Survey was conducted online Jan. 29 through Feb. 27 among 1,065 Wash-ington State homeowners who were 25 years or older.

More than half of the responders said they use low flow toilets (65 percent), program the thermostat (66 percent) and perform furnace maintenance (54 percent).

Nearly all recycle.The survey also shows an appar-

ent generation gap between younger homeowners, Generation Y, and the baby boomers.

Baby boomers are more energy efficient, as almost 70 percent of the younger homeowners’ prioritize based on cost; if it helps the environment, too, it’s a bonus.

More than 90 percent of people said they don’t litter, which is up 13 percent from 2011.

Nearly 50 percent of people think they are more energy efficient than their nearest neighbor. For more information visit http://www.washing-tonenergy.com/articles-tips/how-are-our-green-habits.

Eastside Catholic junior Jackson Brodman scores the game-winning run after Kollin Malsam is hit by a pitch in seventhBY SHAUN SCOTTISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

The outcome of a Class 3A Metro League matchup between the Eastside Catholic Crusad-ers and Roosevelt Roughriders baseball squads came down to the final at bat in the bottom of the seventh inning. The game took place April 6 on Eastside Catholic’s diamond in Sammamish.

With the game tied at 1-1 in the bottom of the seventh, Crusaders senior Kollin Malsam stepped into the batters box with the bases load-ed. With two balls and two strikes Malsam was hit by Roosevelt pitcher Daniel Hunt’s fastball in the left arm which scored Jackson Brodman from third base.

The run advanced the Crusaders to a 2-1 vic-tory against the Roughriders.

Not too many games end on a hit by pitch but Crusaders’ head coach Kyle Larsen said the end-ing was fitting considering what had transpired earlier in the contest.

Eastside Catholic took a 1-0 lead when Hunt tried to pick off Brodman at third base in the bottom of the fifth. Hunt’s errant throw was just out of reach of Roosevelt third baseman Sam Cantrell, allowing Brodman to score easily. Roosevelt tied the game at 1-1 in the top of the seventh on a wild pitch from Crusaders’ pitcher Billy Dimlow.

Dimlow’s pitch sailed a foot over Eastside Catholic catcher Griffin Mueller’s head, allowing Roosevelt junior Jackson Simone to cross the plate from third base.

Eastside Catholic pitcher Billy Dimlow struck out 13 Roosevelt batters in seven innings of work. Dimlow surrendered just three hits and didn’t allow an earned run in the contest. The Crusaders improved their overall record to 8-1 with the victory.

Eastlake sprinter Audrey Knutsen has a goal of competing at the Class 4A state meet BY SHAUN SCOTTISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Eastlake Wolves senior track athlete Audrey Knutsen believes bursting out of the starting blocks as quickly as possible is the key to the success of any sprinter.

Knutsen, who competes in the 100-meter dash, 200M, 400M relay and 800M relay, said the first 10-20 meters of every race she partakes in is where she thrives. The 5 foot, 4-inch, Knusten said she is shorter than most sprinters she competes against which requires her to have a fast start in order to keep up with the best sprinters in Washington.

“A lot of girls catch up to me toward the end of my races because

they are taller and have longer strides,” Knutsen said. “My goal to combat that is to always get stronger and just work on my technique coming out of the blocks. That is my strength.”

Last year Knutsen was part of a 400M relay team that advanced to the Class 4A state track meet at Mount Tahoma High School in Tacoma. This year she not only wants to compete in the relays at the state meet again but also as an individual for the first time in her high school career.

“My goal for sure this year is to make it to state again in relays and I want to make it in the opens (100M and 200M). I haven’t been able to drastically improve my personal records in the 100 and 200. It would be awesome to do that.”

Knutsen said her best time in the 100M is 12.7 and her top time in the 200M is 26.5.

“Track is an amazing sport. You meet amazing people,” she said.

Recently the Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter had an opportunity to ask Knutsen a few questions about her life away from the world of track and field.

Issaquah Reporter: What is your favorite movie of all time?

Audrey Knutsen: Big Hero 6. It’s such a cute movie. It has a great plot and its different from a lot of other movies.

IR: What is your favorite television show?

AK: I like “Modern Family”. It is a quality show that always seems to make me laugh.

IR: If you could pick one person to go to dinner with, who would it be?

AK: Usain Bolt (gold medalist sprinter) or a really famous sprinter so they could tell me about all of their

secrets that make them so good.

IR: How many text messages do you send per day?

AK: Not too many, I probably send around 50 per day.

IR: What is your dream vacation spot?

AK: Fiji. No one ever goes there and it seems like a gorgeous place to go.

IR: Who was your idol growing up?

AK: Britney Spears. I used to love her music.

IR: What is something unique about you that nobody would know?

Charging out of the blocks with gusto

KNUTSEN

BEYOND THE

ATHLETE

“It was a weird game,” Larsen said. “It wasn’t the prettiest but, like I told these guys, we’ll take the win and we are moving on.”

With the exception of the wild pitch in the top of the seventh, Dimlow turned in a workman-like performance. He allowed just three hits and struck out 13 Roosevelt batters in seven innings.

“Billy did an excellent job for us,” Larsen said. “He kept us in the game for sure today, Some days you just don’t have it at the plate and someone has got to pick you up and Billy picked us up big time today. Billy had a great game.”

Dimlow was relieved to see his team pick up the victory after his blunder in the top of the seventh.

“It’s so frustrating when you battle the whole game and you make one mistake like that,” Dimlow said. “It ruins everything but once your team comes out and picks you up like they did (scored game winning run in bottom of the seventh), there is not a better feeling. Nothing is better than that. Any win is a win and I’m happy with that.”

Eastside Catholic improved its overall record to 8-1 with the win.

“These guys believe in themselves and trust each other,” Larsen said. “We got a lot of senior leaders on this team. It wasn’t the prettiest game today and we found a way to win. That has been this team’s MO (mode of operation). They are challenging each other and are playing well together. It is fun to watch.”

Joe Galloway, the Vietnam correspondent whose book “We Were Soldiers Once… and Young” and the movie “We Were Soldiers” that was produced from it, will be in Seattle doing a week of interviews with Vietnam veterans as a special project for the 50th Anniversary Com-memorative.

Galloway has been go-ing around the country doing three two-hour in-terviews a day with Viet-nam veterans from across the services spectrum and by now has well over 75 two-hour interviews done, as he explained it, “beginning with Colin Powell and working out-ward.”

Galloway was a Texas boy who became a cor-respondent for United Press International and, in the battle of Ia Drang that his book and its movie adaptation made famous, he was decorat-ed for heroism on the battle� eld, receiving the bronze star for rescuing two wounded soldiers while under � re. He was praised by the late Gen. Norman Schwartzkopf as “the soldiers’ reporter” because of his caring and regard for those whose battles he covered.

THE KEMPER FREEMAN FAMILYTHE KEMPER FREEMAN FAMILY

Seattle and Washington State have an unusual role in the Vietnam War Commemoration, a national initiative to thank Vietnam veterans a half century after the United States rapidly escalated its deployment of troops to South Vietnam following the Gulf of Tonkin incident. Many of the troops who returned home were met with disdain rather than with the thanks that veterans of other conflicts received.

Joe Galloway, the Vietnam correspondent who authored the book “We Were Soldiers Once... And Young” (adapted into the 2002 film “We Were Soldiers”), is in Seattle for a week of interviews with local Vietnam veterans. He will speak at Seattle Rotary’s noon luncheon April 15 and will be featured at a breakfast interview session at the Columbia Tower Club on April 17.

The Vietnam War Commemoration is aimed at spurring events and activities in states, cities and towns around the country to recognize Vietnam veterans and their families for their service and sacrifice.

The partners’ program is designed for state and local communities, veterans’ organizations and other nongovernmental organizations to assist in thanking and honoring Vietnam Veterans and their families.

To learn how to become a part of the 50th Vietnam Veterans Commemorative, communities may seek information or apply to become a Commemorative Partner by going to:
