� e City of Issaquah could lay o� up to 20 employees in February, a� er a consult-ing � rm pointed out a major redundancy in its operations.

� e plan would save the city enough money to start an economic development department, which would focus on bring-ing in more business.

“� is city is not broken,” said Tom Krippaehne, a managing partner of Moss Adams, which provided the report. � e city’s � nances were in “reasonable shape,” but they need to be strengthened.

While the city wasn’t surprised by the is-sues the � rm pointed out, details about ac-tual changes weren’t certain until Tuesday.

City Administrator Bob Harrison proposed merging Public Works Engineer-ing and Public Works Operations under Sheldon Lynne, who runs PWE. Lynne’s number two, Keith Niven, would receive a promotion to the head of the new econom-ic development team.

� e major changes will happen by summer 2012 with the layo� s complete in February, Harrison said.

Making sta� changes right away is good for the city, because people work best with some certainty in their jobs, said John Tra-eger, Issaquah City Council president.

Over the past few years the city has slimmed back its sta� to the point where key administrators were doing clerical work. � is has been a poor use of resourc-es, and the city needs to hire more support sta� , Krippaehne said.

So while 6-20 employees could lose their positions, the total number of sta� could stay about the same.

� e city is o� ering a buyout option to the city employees, which would pay severance, but not allow workers to take unemployment bene� ts, Harrison said.

Moss Adams ran through a list of sug-gested improvements, which ranged from


Having begun college courses � ve di� erent times, Kim Nieves is

done with starting her college career. For the new YWCA resi-dent, it’s time to � nish.

A single mother, she wants to get an education as a linguist and to pick up a third language, but living so far from school made it hard to keep up with classes and spend time with her son.

Now, the new low-income housing in the Issaquah Highlands has made it possible for her to live close to Bellevue College, where she plans to enroll this winter.

Nieves isn’t alone. � e Eastside could use a few more low-income complex’s like Issaquah Family Village, but the area faces the stereotype that the poor don’t exist there, said June Wiley, a regional director for the YWCA.

It’s not just a matter of having low-income housing available in the region. It’s a matter of having it on the Eastside.

“Just because we’re not in a higher income bracket, it doesn’t mean we don’t want to be in nice surroundings,” Nieves said.

She came from a shabby, one-bedroom apartment she rented in an Auburn house. � e space was so small, she shared a kitchen. She was constant-ly worried about her son’s safety in the neighborhood, but there wasn’t space for him to hangout inside.

Gazing from the windows in her new two-bedroom apartment, Nieves com-mented on the beauty of the Issaquah Alps, which were highlighted by yellow fall leaves.

A generous courtyard, carved for

community, turns through play areas.“It’s peaceful here,” she said. “I don’t

worry.”� e move hasn’t just been good for

her education, it’s been exceptional for her eighth-grade son, Ruben.

He earned a fair share of A’s in his former district, where he was invited to enter a leadership program. When he transferred to the Issaquah School

District, he found he was behind the rest of the students.

A diligent student, he started com-ing home on the late bus, so he could spend extra time studying. When Nieves asked him where he had been, he told her that he knew she wouldn’t be pleased if he didn’t bring home A’s.

cutting out paperwork to do-ing a better job taking public input.

An internal focus was the Major Development Review Team, which fast tracks permitting for planned com-munities. � e team’s business model has caused tensions with the other planning departments, and frustrated developers who don’t get ac-

cess to the same streamlined process, according to the report.

While the review team has been e� cient at get-ting permits through, some suggest its taken too many shortcuts. For example, not all of the planned commu-nity information has been documented or completed, Krippaehne said.

When the review team was created in 1995, the plan was to shut it down in 2011. Moss Adams recommended continuing the program for at least the next few years, be-

cause the economy stymied Highlands development and new developers have started using the fast-track review team, including Rowley Properties and Swedish Hospital.

Part of the recommenda-tion was to consider stream-lining other permit processes or absorbing the review team into the planning depart-ment.

� e city was marked down for poor communication between departments and for weak and inconsistent performance reviews. One

director told Moss Adams he hadn’t received a review in years.

� e council was charged to boil down some of its 14 boards and commissions, such as the Planning Policy Commission and the Urban Village Development Com-mission, both of which look at development in the city.

While not all of the suggestions may result in changes, the city has planned an aggressive start.

“� ese studies are hard,” Krippaehne said. “� ey’re hard because of change.”

Extra police patrols planned in Issaquah

Issaquah police plan to have extra patrols dur-ing the holiday shopping season, aimed at warning people not to leave valu-ables in their cars.

Foot patrol o� cers plan to hang out at popular spots for vehicle prowls so they can warn shoppers.

“Even if shoppers are leaving gi� s and other purchases in their vehicles for a few minutes – that’s plenty of time for prowlers to act,” said Police Chief Paul Ayers. “Please be extra vigilant in locking up

and making sure none of your valuables are visible.”

Police published a list of tips for preventing car prowls that included locking your vehicle every time you leave, not leaving valuables in plain view, and not leaving your vehicle running while unattended.

Master Chorus Eastside will present � e Many Worlds of Christmas at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Eastlake Performing Arts Center, Sammamish.

� e event will feature a mummer’s song from snowy Latvia, a royal visit from the � ree Kings in a villancico from Spain, spicy numbers from Haiti and Trinidad, and two hot weather Christmas carols from Australia.

Familiar carols from Eu-rope and the United States will include: Silent Night from Austria, I Saw � ree Ships Come Sailing in from England and Angels We Have Heard on High from France.

Tickets are $15-$20 and are available at the Master Chorus Eastside o� ce at 425-392-8446. More infor-mation is available at www.masterchoruseastside.org.

ISSAQUAH | SAMMAMISH


We don’t really have a budget problem – we have a jobs problem. When the economy was good, the budget was fi ne. So the question is this: How

can we balance the budget while creating jobs?Budget cuts don’t create jobs, or fi x your economy. If

budget cuts created jobs, our state economy would be booming, since we cut $10 billion in spending.

Nobel-prize winning economist Paul Krugman rightly pointed out that states are wrong to cut jobs when the economy is weak. It only hurts you in the long run. Cuts are job killers, because state troopers, prison guards and teachers go to the unemploy-ment line.

What we need are long-term solutions.The question is how to create jobs

while balancing the budget. It all starts with jobs

When I was knocking on doors last year, every cul-de-sac had an empty

house and other people, who were still in their homes, often told me they were just waiting for the call from the bank, waiting to be evicted because the banks had played casino with the economy and they were the losers.

Even those folks who have jobs and are mowing the lawns of empty foreclosed houses in the cul-de-sac to prevent crime and keep property values up are concerned. They might be next.

When I talk to small business owners, they say they need customers, customers and customers. Tax breaks do nothing when you you’re not making money. Jobs mean small business owners have customers coming in the doors.

That’s why a strong coalition of business and workers are coming together to work on a plan to create jobs – right now – while building a better Washington.

These will be private-sector jobs in every corner of the state, with an emphasis on hiring unemployed veterans, construction workers and young people – those hardest hit by the recession – to fi x our schools, work in our forests and build projects that will benefi t our state for genera-tions.

We will join this coalition in their work because jobs are

our priority.Gov. Dan Evans did this in 1972, after the last great

Boeing Bust. He called his plan Jobs Now, Washington’s Future and voters approved more than $2 billion in today’s dollars to fund the work.

Franklin Roosevelt led a similar effort to combat the Great Depression in the 1930s. Not only did people go back to work, they built parks, schools and structures like the Grand Coulee Dam that provided the infrastructure and electricity that powered our state’s economic recovery – and still work today.

FDR was a Democrat and Evans was a Republican – and they did the same thing. Because it’s smart. Because it’s not voodoo economics. When people are out of work, the best solution is to put them to work. Not theoretically – in reality. Right away.

Connecticut just did a similar jobs program. It passed with a single no vote in the House and Senate because they understood that when times are bad, you put aside party politics for the sake of your state and your country.

Evans told the truth. He said Jobs Now, Washington’s Future was “the most important program I have proposed in my seven years as governor.” Dan Evans put people back to work and got Washington state back on its feet. We can do it, too.

Construction workers in our state face a 30 percent unemployment rate. Post-9/11 veterans are at 12 percent unemployment.

Let’s get construction workers and jobless veterans back on the job, building a better Washington for our kids and grandkids.

Let’s boost local businesses by having people with new jobs spending their money at the Ace Hardware down the street and the fl ower shop downtown.

Let’s do the right thing and remember what Dan Evans and FDR did to bring Washington state – and America – back on our feet: create real jobs, right away, in every corner of this fi ne state.

Rep. Hans Dunshee (D-Snohomish) is a former small

business owner and volunteer � re� ghter. He is chair of the Capital Budget Committee, which controls the state’s

construction budget.

With La Niña expected to make a return trip to the Northwest this winter, now is not the time to be complacent.

La Niña is de� ned as cooler than normal sea-surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Paci� c ocean that impact global weather patterns, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

“� e Paci� c Northwest is more likely to be wetter than normal in the late fall and early winter with the presence of a well-established La Niña,” according to the administration’s website.

Remember last November’s La Nina snow storm that hit right before � anksgiving? Or what about last December’s record rainfall that forced the Snoqualmie River to � ood?

It could happen again this year. Forecasters already predicted the snowfall we saw in the mountains last weekend.

With La Nina ready to bear her ugly head again, it’s time to “Take Winter by Storm.”

It’s more than just a catchy phrase — it’s a call to action.

“Take Winter Storm” is a four-county e� ort, includ-ing King County, urging families to create emergency-preparedness kits in the home, workplace and vehicle — just in case you are out driving when the worst of the weather hits.

� e kits should include � ashlights and extra batter-ies, warm blankets, rain gear and copies of important documents, among other important things.

� e “Take Winter by Storm” website — www.takewinterbystorm.org — suggests residents take these three steps to get ready:

• Create an emergency preparedness kit with at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food and water for your home and o� ce. Kits prepared for vehicle road travel and winter weather evacuation go-kits are also advised.

• Make a plan and practice the plan with your fam-ily and those who depend on you.

• Stay informed and know the weather approach-ing so you are prepared for whatever Mother Nature throws our way.

� e website o� ers other tools to help families get ready for another harsh winter.

Recent stories in � e Reporter noted how cities are prepared for the storms. � at preparedness is some-thing individuals should take to heart, too.

Don’t be le� out in the cold — or the dark — this winter, make a plan and execute it when La Nina makes her expected appearance this holiday season.

PREPARE NOWLa Niña headed here again

Balance budget , create jobs

Rep. Hans Dunshee

The following information was compiled from city of Issaquah and Sammamish police reports:

A student reported being stabbed several times by a pencil on the bus ride home from Skyline High School on Nov. 22.

He said he was leaning into the center aisle talk-ing, when another student grabbed him and stabbed him twice in one arm and a third time in another.

The teen told the officer he was bitten when he tried to fight the student off. The teen went to an urgent care clinic to get a couple stitches and Band-Aids for the wounds.

When the officer asked him why he didn’t call po-lice, the student responded that he had just “brushed it off.” The teen had shaken the officer’s hand when he spoke, leading him to think

he wasn’t in too much pain.The officer then observed

the student was swaying and avoiding eye contact, making him think he wasn’t probably telling the whole truth about the incident.

Trash fightA fist fight broke out

between a mother and a daughter on Southwest Clark Street in Issaquah, af-ter the daughter refused to take out the trash Nov. 11.

When she refused, the mother dumped the trash on the daughter’s bed. The daughter responded by dumping the trash on the mother’s bed.

The mother and daughter began to shove each other, which lead to punching and arguing. The daughter was punched 5-6 times in one arm.

Police decided to arrest the mother, who told them

there has been a long his-tory of domestic violence in the relationship and that they were going to fam-ily counseling to work it through.

Disorderly drunkSammamish police ar-

rested a man who was so heavily intoxicated while driving Nov. 14, that when he finally consented to take a breathalyzer, he had to go to the hospital to get detoxi-fied.

The officer first spot-ted the man for not using headlights. The officer used lights and chirped his siren a few times, but the man only stopped after pulling into his own driveway.

The man then began to argue with police about their intrusion on his private property. He then refused to get out of his car.

The officers warned him that they would use pepper spray, and he responded “go ahead.”

The officer pepper sprayed him, and pulled him out of the car with the help of another officer. They handcuffed him and took him to the Sammamish police station.

He told police he had “a couple” drinks, but after the man was processed in the Issaquah jail, the officer found he had a blood alco-hol of .262 percent (0.08 is the legal limit) and that the man’s blood alcohol rate was rising.

The man didn’t have a license, just a state ID. He had been convicted of drunk driving in the past, and was required to have an ignition interlock device.

Teen caught driving drunk

Police arrested a 17-year-old girl for drunk driving, after catching her speeding 57 mph in a 35 mph with her headlights off Nov. 21.

She was traveling on the Issaquah-Pine Lake Road when the officer saw her il-legally pass two cars. When the officer pulled her over, she smelled of alcohol, but only admitted to having “a little something.”

The girl’s blood alcohol test came back at .079 and 0.083. The legal limit for minors is 0.02 percent.

Stolen rimsThree, but not four, tires

were stolen from a tan 2001 Chevrolet Prism on Nov. 14, from the 500 block of Mount Everest Lane South-west. The rims were worth about $500.

Issaquah police apprehend � ve suspectsBY CELESTE [email protected]

A man who lost all of his posses-sions when thieves made o� with his rented U-Haul from a hotel parking lot has cause to celebrate this week.

Issaquah police apprehended � ve suspects and recovered the man’s most valuable possessions. King County prosecutors are reviewing recommen-dations for charges.

Police found the U-Haul in Seattle last February, two days a� er Zack Judson reported it missing. However, all of its contents were missing.

Police were able to recover 300 silver coins and 10 of Judson’s guns, which he used in instruction courses.

Perhaps the biggest prize was the recovery of several computer towers, which stored Judson’s digital art. He o� en performs as a VJ. He also used the machines for his work in special e� ects.

Police identi� ed the suspects back in April, but continued the investiga-tion until this month, according to Judson’s website.

Shortly a� er the U-Haul was sto-len, Judson put out a $10,000 reward.

He also published his story on his own website, communitycrime� ght-ing.com.

Issaquah made the arrests with help from the Tukwila Police and King County Sheri� ’s deputies.

Judson was in the process of moving from Los Angeles, when he parked the rented U-Haul at Is-

saquah’s Hilton Garden Inn, where he stayed.

He made a trip to Seattle that day, when he returned to � nd the truck missing.

Issaquah kids could lose four days of classes next school year if the gover-nor’s budget proposal goes through this spring.

The loss would be about $2.2 million to the Issaquah School District.

“The governor’s cuts-only plan is a colossal step backward,” said ISD Su-perintendent Steve Rasmussen.

The state is facing another $1.4 bil-lion revenue shortfall next fiscal year.

To earn back the four school days, Gov. Chris Gregoire has asked lawmak-ers to pass a half-cent sales tax in-crease, which would last three years.

State law requires tax increases to pass the state legislature by two-thirds vote, making the tax unlikely, observ-ers say.

Her proposal would cut Issaquah’s calendar from 180 days of instruction to 176 days, which accounts for about

$1.85 million of the proposed losses for the district.

The governor also proposed cutting health benefits to teachers, a $360,000 loss, and reducing bonuses for National Board Certified teachers by $1,000. About 80 teachers in the district are receiving bonuses from the program.

Gregoire mentioned she made a decision to spare classroom sizes from getting any larger, but ultimately that decision is left up to the school districts.

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn called the proposed cuts “catastrophic to basic education.”

“Our school year is already too short when compared to our economic com-petitors,” he said. “We simply can’t go backward on school day.”

� e former Evergreen Christian Fellowship, at 120 228th Ave. N.E. in Sam-mamish, is now part of the growing Mars Hill Church.

� e facility is only about two years old, with a gym/multipurpose room serving as the sanctuary. Evergreen was founded in the early 1990s, moving to the 228th site when the land was do-nated by Overlake Christian Church. Evergreen built half of what they projected to build before running into � nancial problems, said Mars Hill Sammamish pas-tor, Alex Ghioni.

“� eir heart was in it; they wanted to see a voice for the gospel continue on the Plateau,” Ghioni said. “Mars Hill was approached (by Evergreen) to see how they could realize that dream.”

Ghioni said Evergreen’s leaders voted unanimously to turn over the church to Mars Hill, which will purchase the real estate. Ghioni said Mars Hill has wanted to come to Sam-mamish because many of its parishioners who attend the Bellevue church live on the Plateau.

“It’s a chance for us to be living a gospel life in our neighborhood,” said Jason Cowan, a community group leader for Mars Hill.

Mars Hill is already holding services at the site, but will o� cially launch the Sammamish church Jan. 15, 2012, along with new churches in Portland, Ore., the Rainier Valley and Orange County, Calif.

“We’re growing fast,” Ghioni said.

Mars Hill Church was established 15 years ago by Pastor Mark Driscoll, in Se-attle, starting out with about a dozen people meeting for Bible study at Driscoll’s Wallingford home. In 2000, Driscoll founded Acts 29, a church-building network, which is a separate business.

Presently, Acts 29 has es-tablished 400 churches, with 400 more in the queue, said

Justin Dean, PR and market-ing director for Acts 29.

“Acts 29 is our church planning network,” Dean said. “We educate and train new pastors, and establish new locations.”

He said Mars Hill pours money and resources into Acts 29, tithing 10 percent of Mars Hill money to that operation. Acts 29 churches can be any denomination as long as they agree with certain doctrinal beliefs, Dean said.

“We believe it’s all about Jesus,” Ghioni added. “It’s all about planning churches and making disciples.”

Mars Hill Church has not been without controversy. Driscoll has called yoga demonic, and Mars Hill will not let women serve as pastors. Ghioni said he could not expand on those comments, other than to say that members are not against anything; rather, they’re for Jesus.

“I can’t speak for Mark. It’s not about judging someone, it’s about Jesus,” Ghioni said.

He said homosexuals are welcome at Mars Hill, add-ing that one of the things Je-sus does is to change people’s lives. He would not com-ment if that meant attempt-ing to convert homosexuals.

He said women serve at the church in meaningful ways, and that men and women have complimen-tary relationships, and are seen as equals. However, no women are allowed at the pulpit.

“We invite older women to speak to the lives of younger women,” Ghioni said, adding that included

advice on how to manage their household.

Mars Hill Sammamish is already close to having 600 people attend the church. It has two services: 9 and 11:15 a.m. Evening services will be launched when 80 percent capacity is reached at each of the morning services.

With the o� cial launch of the four new Mars Hill churches on Jan. 15, they will begin a new program called “Real Marriage,” based on a book by Driscoll and his wife, Grace. � at will be the focus of the � rst 11 weeks. � ere will be a announcement in January when the four churches o� cially open. With these four, there are 14 Mars Hill-branded churches.

“� e enthusiasm for

what’s been going on at Mars Hill Sammamish — we’re excited that it’s healthy and growing,” Ghioni

said. “It’s a very family and student-rich area. Rather than focus on anyone or anything, we want people to

know who Jesus is.”Sta� writer Linda Ball

Last season, Damien Greene made a de� ning play in the state semi� nals, intercepting Curtis’ potential game-winning two-point conversion in the � nal seconds.

� is season, the Skyline senior decided to one-up his performance.

“My dad was just saying, ‘Make the play, make something happen,’” said Greene, who received a pep talk be-fore Saturday a� ernoon’s 4A semi� nal matchup with Woodinville.

Greene certainly took the talk to heart. He caught two touchdown passes, ran for another, forced a fum-ble and knocked a pass away in the waning seconds, helping the Spartans to a 26-21 victory over the Falcons.

“Earlier in the regular season, we’re thinking this kid is such a talent, we just need to get him going,” head coach Mat Taylor said. “I think the big thing for him is con� dence.”

Greene helped Skyline to a 12-0 hal� ime lead, scoring both � rst-half touchdowns.

On the game’s opening drive, he capped a 10-play, 3 minute, 15 second drive snagging a 2-yard touchdown pass from Max Browne. Greene added another TD with 8:51 to go in the second quarter, rushing in a

1-yard score.He wasn’t done there.A� er allowing Woodinville to

score on the � rst drive of the second half, the Spartans answered with another big play from Greene. � e slippery 5-foot-9, 175-pound run-ning back took a third-down screen pass from Browne, brook a handful of tackles, and scampered 60 yards for his third TD and a 19-7 advan-taged.

Greene ended the game with eight catches for 128 yards.

“He’s a big-time player and he made big-time plays,” said Browne, who completed 22 of 31 passes for 287 yards.

� e biggest of Greene’s plays came in the fourth quarter — on the defensive side of the ball.

Woodinville cut into Skyline’s de� cit, 19-14, a� er quarterback Brett Arrivey’s 3-yard TD run. � e Falcons threatened to take the lead midway through the fourth quarter before Greene — also a starting defensive back — blew up Wood-inville receiver on a lateral pass. He forced the fumble and recovered the ball at the Falcons’ 42-yard line. � e turnover set up a 30-yard reverse for a TD from Nic Sblendorio with 5:50 le� in the game — a score that decided the game.

Woodinville marched down the � eld in just over two minutes, cut-ting their de� cit to, 26-21, with 1:28 to go via Arrivey’s 5-yard TD pass to Beau Vintertun.

� e Falcons then recovered an onside kick, getting the ball back at their own 45-yard line with 1:24 le� . � ey marched down to Skyline’s 18-yard line on two plays, before Greene batted yet another pass away. � e Spartans defense as a whole, held Arrivey (25 of 38, 272 yards, 2 TDs) without a completion on his � nal three attempts.

“I was terri� ed,” said Taylor, of the � nal 1:24. “It was like last year against Curtis. “You think you have the game wrapped up and here they come. Holy smokes.”

Saturday’s win marks the seventh time in the last eight years Skyline (10-3) will advance to the state championship game.

“I just think so much of it is just tradition and the kids just growing up in our program and seeing what the other guys have done — the expecta-tions,” Taylor said.

� e key to Skyline recovering from three regular-season losses and win-ning its last � ve games?

“� e cliche is right,” Browne said. “You hate to lose, but you learn from losing.”

Spartans target sixth state title

BY KEVIN [email protected]

� is Saturday marks the seventh time in the last eight seasons the Skyline football team has reached a state championship game in the Tacoma Dome.

But earning a � � h state title in that span will be no easy task.

� e Spartans (10-3) face Skyview of Vancouver (11-2) at 7:30 p.m. for the class 4A championship.

Since losing their � rst two games — one to Oregon 5A championship contender, Sherwood, and another to Idaho state champion, Coeur d’Alene — the Storm have rattled o� 11 straight wins. � ey’ve outscored opponents 526-143, or an average score of 48-13, in that span.

“� ey’re a very high tempo team,” Skyline head coach Mat Taylor said.

Skyview, which runs a no-huddle spread o� ense with several variations, is led by standout running back, Parker Henry. � e 6-foot, 205-pound senior brings speed and size to the back� eld. He has 2,165 rushing yards and 31 TDs.

“He’s a stud, he’s just a workhorse,” Taylor said. “He’s not easy to bring down.”

Quarterback Kieran McDonagh is also a load at 6-foot-2, 235 pounds. � e senior has completed 68 percent of his passes for 2,637 yards, 24 TDs and just four interceptions.

“He does a great a job, he does what they ask of them,” Taylor said.

� e reason for all the o� ensive success has largely to do with the o� ensive line, which Taylor said is far and away the biggest his team has faced this season.

“I think we � gured out they are almost 280 pounds across the line,” he said.

Of course the Spartans have plenty of weapons of their own, led by junior quarterback Max Browne. � e 6-foot-3 Division I recruit has completed 70 percent of his passes for 3,813 yards, 43 TDs and just � ve INTs.

Six di� erent receivers have 300 or more yards, led by Taggart Krueger’s 911 yards and nine TDs.

Senior running back Damien Greene has also come on. He has a combined 1,236 rushing and receiving

PREVIEW, 13

yards with 14 TDs. He has 406 combined yards and six TDs in the last two games.

In order to have success, Taylor knows the Spartans will have do what they’ve done in all their victories this season — avoid turn-overs. Skyview capitalized on two early Lake Stevens’ fumbles in the semifinals, converting the mistakes a 14-0 lead on their way to a 38-14 win.

“I think the biggest thing we’ve done in all of our 10 wins this season is not turn the ball over,” Taylor said. “When we get opportunities we’ve got to take advantage.”

Skyline is targeting the program’s sixth state championship. They won titles in 2000, 2005, 2007, 2008 and 2009. Skyview is competing for its first ever championship.

Saturday’s game will be broadcast live on Root Sports, Comcast channel 30, or High Definition channel 627.
