City asks for input about truck routes

City planners could redraw the routes large trucks use to travel through Issaquah. Before the city takes action, officials encourage residents to offer feedback on proposals. The city has received feedback from residents concerned about truck noise, air pollution and the number of trucks along East Sunset Way. The soon-to-be-completed East Sunset Way approach to Interstate 90 has also raised concerns about increased truck GET INVOLVED traffic, after crews finish the City truck upgraded road- route open house way. The truck 6 p.m. route for the Sept. 23 street starts at Eagle Room the I-90 interchange, and at City Hall then progresses 130 E. along Newport Sunset Way. Way Southwest to Front Street South and the southern city line. The route and state Route 900 remain the only approved northsouth routes in Issaquah. In late spring, state Department of Transportation crews completed the yearslong effort to widen state Route 900. The road can better accommodate larger trucks. City planners want to know if the improvements justify closing the East Sunset Way truck route. Send comments to city Transportation Planner Gary Costa at 1775 12th Ave. N.W., Issaquah, WA 98027 or e-mail them to garyc@ci.issaquah.wa.us. Comments sent to Costa and received at the open house will be shared with the Council Transportation Committee on Sept. 30, before officials make any decision. The open house comes as state crews near completion of the $1.3million project to widen the Sunset Way approach to the interstate. Plans call for wider lanes bracketed by concrete barriers bordered by shoulders, curbs and a sidewalk. Workers also built a permanent support to replace a temporary retaining wall fashioned from dirt and high-density fabric. The project adds the final piece to the I-90 interchange. The rest of the project was completed in 2003.

Return of the king A salmon tries to make its way over the waterfall created by the weir at the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery last week as the change in weather signals their annual return to spawn in the eternal cycle of life.

Puget Sound Energy intends to make small increases to electric and natural gas rates Oct. 1 in order to adjust for costs of the utility’s lowincome assistance program. The utility made a request late last month to the state Utilities and Transportation Commission to approve the increases. The request filed Aug. 31 aims to increase electric rates by an overall average of 0.004 percent — or 4/1000th of 1 percent — and natural gas rates by 0.03 percent — or 3/100th of 1 percent. The commission is expected to review the proposal Sept. 30. The adjustment reflects the differences between the costs and the revenues collected during the past year to fund the Home Energy Lifeline Program, or HELP, and a small increase in total funding. If the state approves the increases, a typical monthly electricity bill — based on 1,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity — is projected to increase by 4 cents per month, bringing the total monthly average electric bill to $99.68. For a typical household natural gas bill — based on 68 therms of

natural gas — the increase is projected to be 3 cents per month, bringing the total monthly average bill to $81.35. Established in 2002, HELP is administered by 12 community action agencies and serves residents in the Bellevue-based utility’s 11-county Washington service area, provides bill-payment assistance to more than 25,000 customers and families each year. Depending on income and household size, a qualified lowincome customer can receive bill credits totaling up to $1,000 from HELP. The average grant amounted to about $400 per household during the 2009-10 winter heating season. In addition to HELP, the federal government offers home-heating assistance through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, or LIHEAP. From October 2009 through July 2010, more than 59,000 qualified low-income PSE customers throughout the service area received grants totaling almost $25 million — $13.5 million in LIHEAP and $11.3 million in HELP.

Golf tournament returns to Salmon Days sporting weekend Mayor moves closer

You can search for hidden treasure or your golf ball. The Salmon Days Sporting Weekend has a little something for everyone. The annual event takes place Sept. 25-26. Geoteaming and orienteering kick off the weekend Sept. 25. In the interactive and high-tech scavenger hunt, participants use GPS units to navigate to hidden treasures in and around Issaquah. Each found cache earns a team valuable points toward its final score. All equipment is provided along with a lunch catered by Rogue’s Issaquah Brewhouse. Location of the geoteaming event is at Issaquah Highlands, on 10th Avenue Northeast between Northeast Park Drive and Northeast High Street. There are three sessions. Session one runs from 9:30-11:30 a.m. with teams signing in at 8:30 a.m. Session two runs from noon - 2 p.m. with

to hiring city administrator sign-ins at 11 a.m. Session three runs from 2:30-4:30 p.m. with sign-ins at 1:30 p.m. All ages are welcome. Walking and weather appropriate clothing and shoes are advised. Space is limited and pre-registration is recommended. Learn more at www.salmondays.org. If maps and compasses are more to one’s liking, then the orienteering event at Lake Sammamish State Park might be the ticket. The event, hosted by the Sammamish Orienteering Cub, runs from 10 a.m. - noon. Orienteering requires navigational

skills using a topographic map and compass to navigate from point to point, as well as running ability. Learn more at the Sammamish Orienteering Club website — www.sammamishorienteering.org — or call 822-6254. The Issaquah Salmon Open Golf Tournament is back in the swing of things this year.

By Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporter The field in the search for a city administrator has narrowed, though officials plan to remain tight-lipped about the choice until he accepts the offer. City staffers, residents and community leaders met and scrutinized the five finalists last week, then offered recommendations to Mayor Ava Frisinger. The administrator serves as the No. 2 official in municipal government. The finalists included Thurston County Manager Donald Krupp, San Juan County Administrator

Pete Rose, Yakima Assistant City Manager David Zabell, Lake Forest Park City Administrator David Cline and Robert Harrison, the city manager in Wyoming, Ohio. “Any one of these folks have the skills, talents and abilities to do the job,” Bellevue headhunter Greg Prothman said. The city hired Prothman in late spring after longtime City Administrator Leon Kos retired. The recruiter sent letters to between 800 and 900 municipal officials — or, as Prothman said, See SEARCH, Page A3

Dino Rossi strives to be comeback kid in Senate race Longtime food bank Former Issaquah director departs legislator returns after dual losses By Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporter The story is classic Dino Rossi: a daunting policy issue framed as a kitchen table discussion. Not long before the Sammamish resident and GOP standard-bearer decided to run for the U.S. Senate, son Jake had a question about the national debt. “My 16-year-old asked me, ‘How much do I owe?’ Sixteen-year-olds shouldn’t be asking questions like that,” Dino Rossi recalled. “They should be asking, ‘Can I have the car keys? And get out the money

while you’re giving me the car keys.’” Rossi — father of four, self-made millionaire, former state senator and erstwhile candidate for governor — drops anecdotes about family life into stump speeches and interviews to remind people he has not been part of partisan squabbles in Olympia or the other Washington for years. Before he entered the U.S. Senate race in late May, he spent the 18 months since the 2008 election on “suburban dad stuff” — shuttling children to school and basketball games. The electorate remembers Rossi from the bruising races for the Governor’s Mansion, the achingly close margin in the 2004 contest — recounts, court challenges and, separated by a mere 133 ballots, the closest gubernatorial election in U.S. history — and the failed

2008 rematch against Gov. Chris Gregoire. Republicans hope Rossi, 50, can be a political Lazarus in the latest election battle. Supporters tout his up-by-the-bootstraps biography as a conservative counterpoint to “mom in tennis shoes” Patty Murray, the incumbent Democrat. Polls promised a competitive race, and national Republicans engaged in a high-profile courtship, but Rossi said he had concerns about how the tough election might impact life at home. “My 13-year-old, Joseph, he would have filed me 10 months ago if he could have figured out how to forge my signature,” Rossi said.

Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank leaders launched a search for a director in early September, after the sudden departure of the longtime manager last month. Executive Director Cherie Meier left the downtown Issaquah food bank at the end of August. Chairman John Williams said he could not discuss the circumstances surrounding the situation. Meier could not be reached for comment. The search — spearheaded by Williams and other members of the food bank board of directors

The board intends to appoint the next director in October before the holidays strain the food pantry. In the meantime, clients could notice longer lines at the food bank, as paid staffers and volunteers fill the gap left by the departure.

Amnesty period for Issaquah traffic snarled after truck unlicensed pets ends soon overturns at Highlands Drive exit A2 • Wednesday, September 15, 2010

The Issaquah Press

By Laura Geggel Issaquah Press reporter Traffic was snarled in Issaquah for hours after a flatbed tractortrailer carrying a load of I-beams overturned on Highlands Drive Northeast at Interstate 90’s Exit 18, scattering I-beams across the overpass. The accident occurred at 5:07 p.m. Sept. 7 in the middle of the afternoon commute. Police and fire agencies closed the interstate for 40 minutes at Exit 18, causing traffic heading east to back up for about seven miles, to near Exit 11. Initially, police did not allow drivers onto eastbound I-90 at Front Street North either, causing traffic to back up throughout Issaquah. Police later opened the interstate, but traffic still crawled more than two hours after the accident. The Sound Delivery Services Inc. driver, 51-year-old Gerard Dumont, was headed to the underconstruction Swedish Medical Center campus in the Issaquah Highlands, when the tractor-trailer overturned. Troopers said speed and a wet roadway might have contributed to the incident. In addition, the load of steel I-beams might have been improperly secured, Washington State Patrol spokesman Jason Greer said. Each I-beam weighs between 800 pounds and 1,500 pounds, depending on its length, Greer

Residents in Issaquah and 26 other cities, plus unincorporated King County, have 20 days before the amnesty period on unlicensed pets expires. The countywide no-tolerance policy for unlicensed pets goes into effect Oct. 2. Outlaw owners face $125 fines for unlicensed spayed or neutered pets, and up to $250 for unaltered animals. Purchase licenses at more than 100 locations across the county, including Issaquah City Hall, 130 E. Sunset Way, veterinary hospitals and QFC grocery stores. Find the complete list at www.kingcounty.gov/pets. License fees for spayed and neutered pets remain unchanged at $30. Owners of unaltered pets face a $60 fee, down from $90. Every dog and cat older than eight weeks in unincorporated King County, Issaquah and other contracting cities must be licensed.

“The amnesty period is a great opportunity for residents to comply with the law, protect their pets with a license and avoid a potential fine,” Regional Animal Services Manager Ken Nakatsu said in a news release. “After Oct. 1, we have to comply with the code adopted by King County and 27 contracting cities and issue a fine if you are caught without a pet license. Now is the time to prevent that risk and gain the benefits of a pet license.” If county officers find a lost pet, the agency attempts to skip the shelter and deliver the pet home. The shelter also holds licensed pets longer as strays. The updated animal control program took effect in Issaquah and across the county July 1. Seniors and people with disabilities can receive discounts. So can owners of pets up to six months old.

Troopers arrest wrong-way driver near Issaquah

booked into the King County Jail on DUI charges.

Troopers arrested a Federal Way man near Issaquah early Sept. 12 for driving under the influence after other drivers said he drove the wrong way on Interstate 90. The initial 911 call to the Washington State Patrol occurred at 1:53 a.m. Sept. 12; 11 callers updated dispatchers about the location of the vehicle as the driver headed west in the eastbound lanes. Troopers stopped the 40-yearold driver near Exit 20, the High Point exit just east of Issaquah. Troopers apprehended the driver without incident and determined him to be under the influence of alcohol. The driver — identified by troopers as Totta T. Leota — was

One of the I-beams went over the barrier and was teetering on the overpass over I-90. “The only thing keeping it up was a Washington Department of Transportation traffic camera,” Greer said. EFR worked with the Washington State Patrol, the Issaquah Police Department and the state Department of Transportation, closing I-90 for about a half-hour while a tow truck

worked to dislodge the beam stuck over the barricade. The tractor-trailer also had a diesel fuel leak, and firefighters at the scene poured sand around storm drains to keep the fuel from running into it. A sheen of fuel could be seen on the roadway from the truck all the way down to the bottom of the exit ramp. EFR called the state Department of Ecology to make sure there were no issues with the fuel leak, espe-

cially because it was raining, Eastside Fire & Rescue Battalion Chief Glenn Huffman said. There were no injuries, he said. A tow truck flipped the truck, a 1997 Freightliner tractor, back on its wheels and a forklift helped reload the scattered I-beams onto the truck for removal.

hikers in the area. “Please enjoy your visit to the park and have fun exploring the many miles of trails, but please do not go into or near the clay pit itself,” said George Beamer, of Mutual Materials Co.

Rossi: ‘Dino is so called to this.’

Goodbye, oak The largest oak in Issaquah, according to city Arborist Alan Haywood, broke Sept. 7 at the Oak Meadows Condominiums in the 200 block of Newport Way Northwest, due to its weight and old age. Ironically, ‘I was going to nominate it for Heritage Tree status this month,’ Haywood said. The white oak, with a spread of more than 100 feet, was one of the first trees Haywood was consulted on 20 years ago to help preserve during planning for the condos. Due to the severe wound, the rest of the tree will be removed.

statewide campaign, urged her husband to run. “Dino is so called to this, and it would have been selfish of me to keep him at home,” she said. Familiar terrain Issaquah has served as a springboard in the 18 years since Rossi ran — and lost — to represent the community in Olympia. The novice candidate lost a state Senate race to Democrat Kathleen Drew in 1992. In a turnaround, Rossi unseated Drew four years later. In the state Senate, Rossi attracted attention as the architect of the state budget in 2003. The state faced a $2.3 billion shortfall, and Rossi reached out to Democrats in order to enact deep spending cuts. “I found when it really was crucial, that it was really important to try to bring people together, then they knew I’d always been honest with them,” he said. “They knew where I came from, where I was going to go with legislation. So, there were no surprises for anybody.” Through the statewide campaigns since, Rossi has deployed the message countless times at fundraisers, Rotary Club meetings, parades, Labor Day picnics, inside American Legion halls and to newspaper editorial boards. “The secret to my success in Olympia — which is the way that I look at all of these things — is, I never cared if I got re-elected,” he said. “I was happy before I got into politics. I figured I’d be happy after. It’s very freeing. So, you can figure out what you think is right and go do it.” Slade Gorton, the last Republican elected to the Senate from the Evergreen State, said the affable Rossi has the personality and the résumé to appeal to independent-minded voters. “He isn’t harsh or hot or intolerant,” Gorton said. “He seems like the kind of person who would listen.”

Frisinger released the names of the finalists the previous day, after a summerlong search. “As much as we think we’re scouting them, they’re scouting us now, too, because the really talented manager knows that it’s a marriage,” Prothman said.

Not enough drivers use the center lane on the state Route 900 overpass at Interstate 90, causing construction-related traffic backups. The city Public Works Engineering Department and the state Department of Transportation tweaked traffic-signal timing through the corridor to address the congestion. The agencies made changes to travel lanes in order to accommodate construction of a pedestrian connec-

tor across the interstate. Despite the changes, backups often occur during mid-day and during the afternoon commute along northbound state Route 900. The problem: Many drivers do not use the lane closest to the centerline, causing blockages at nearby intersections. City staffers plan to track the traffic and make adjustments to ensure smooth travel through the corridor. Construction on the almost $6 million connector started in August. Plans call for a separate 12-foot-wide pedestrian bridge across the westbound I-90 onramps and modifications to the existing state Route 900 overpass to install a 10-foot-wide pedestrian crossing. The project should be

stands to earn $124,500 to $158,916 — plus benefits. Cline, the Lake Forest Park administrator, recalled growing up near Issaquah as No. 9 of 10 children. “From an early age, I knew I wanted to be a city manager or city administrator,” he told the Tibbetts Creek Manor crowd. Cline discussed the effort to preserve the tree canopy in Lake Forest Park, and balance commercial demands in the bedroom community. Cline has served as the administrator in Lake Forest Park in North King County since May 2007. Harrison, the city manager in Cincinnati suburb Wyoming, said a city administrator must remain grounded. “You need to be humble in this business, because there are plenty of opportunities to be humbled,” he said. Krupp, the Thurston County manager since July 2001, said he hoped to return to municipal government after service at the county

and state levels. “I’m ready to work for a city that’s got some great opportunities for doing some really wonderful things,” he said. Since 2005, Zabell has served as deputy to Yakima City Manager Dick Zais, the longest-serving city administrator or manager in the state. Kos held the title until he retired in late April. Zabell praised the City Council for a recent decision to preserve Tiger Mountain land amid protests from residents. “Too much nowadays in local government, people cut and run,” he said. “To see that kind of courage and that type of commitment to doing the right thing, that says a lot about your community. I’d like to be part of that.” Rose, a former Woodinville city manager, has served in the top San Juan County post since 2006. “My heart is in city work,” he told the Tibbetts Creek Manor audience. The next morning, the candidates headed into daylong inter-

views after meeting elected leaders, municipal department chiefs and community members. The pressure-cooker phase for the finalists included closed-door interviews with city department chiefs and a 10-person community panel appointed by the mayor. Finalists also toured the city. Some of the finalists in the Issaquah city administrator search also made the cut in a similar search in Oregon. Rose and Harrison reached the final round in the ongoing Milwaukie, Ore., city manager search. Milwaukie leaders and residents met and questioned five candidates Sept. 2-3. Prothman is in charge of the searches in the Portland suburb and Issaquah. The practice is common for candidates to be part of the search process in multiple cities at the same time.

needy, and singled out Meier for her service. “The executive director has provided 20 years of continuous service and is dedicated to the people she serves through the food and clothing bank,” the report states. “She is well respected and liked by staff, volunteers and clients.” The report suggested that the executive director role be redefined. Consultants called for the

manager to spend less time involved in collecting, shelving and managing donations and more time on fundraising, goal setting and community outreach. In addition, the report recommended better measures to refer clients to additional aid programs, manage volunteers and written procedures to outline accounting, human resources, volunteer coordination and other day-to-day tasks. The report also said the food

bank needed to foster better relationships with other nonprofit organizations. Williams said the food bank had tackled the “low-hanging fruit” recommended in the Moss Adams report, and had started to determine how to address some of the more difficult issues.

Finance staffers receive award Issaquah city finance officials have received the prestigious Professional Finance Officer award for 2010 from the Washington Financial Officers Association. Finance Director Jim Blake, Utility Services Coordinator Heidi Nagler and Financial Services Supervisor Roxanne Hagood received the award. The annual honor recognizes achievements of professional service, and ongoing continuing education and training. The financial officers group is a professional association comprised of finance officers from Washington towns, cities, counties, state agencies and other governments.

Family matters The always-on-message Rossi talks a lot about the American dream. The future state senator had a blue-collar upbringing in Mountlake Terrace by parents he described as “‘Scoop’ Jackson Democrats” in the mold of the late Washington senator. Rossi earned tuition money as a Seattle University student through odd jobs, including stints in construction and as a janitor at the Space Needle. The business student turned to the Republican Party in 1980, attracted in part by the cheerful conservatism of Ronald Reagan. Politics beckoned not long after Rossi, Terry and infant daughter Juliauna relocated from Magnolia to Klahanie. The family later settled in Sammamish. Then came the statehouse campaigns. Rossi launched both gubernatorial bids from Village Theatre in downtown Issaquah. Dino and Terry Rossi learned

during the 1992 state Senate race just how difficult a campaign schedule could be for a family. “We are the type of family that likes to have dinner together every night at 6:30,” Terry Rossi said. But dinner together seldom fits into the 12- to 14-hour days Rossi logs crisscrossing Washington from Port Angeles to Pullman. So, the candidate tries to sit down for breakfast with the family, or some of the children join Rossi on the trail. “Politics stuff, this all comes and goes,” he said. “You have to maintain your family.” Rossi also sprinkles kids-saythe-darnedest-things observations into campaign discussions. Take the exchange he and son Joseph had before dad entered the Senate bout: “I said, ‘Well, Joseph, they’re going to tell the same lies about dad on TV again if I do this,’” the elder Rossi recalled. “He says, ‘Yeah, dad, it’s just like junior high.’ I almost drove off the road when he said that.” Deep roots Luke Esser, a former state senator and current state GOP chairman, said Rossi has a compelling biography — a strong selling point in the neck-and-neck race against Murray. “Sometimes, I think Dino is shy or maybe a bit too humble about talking about his background,” Esser said. “He has a great story to tell.” On the stump, Rossi repeats a handful of the stories, some timeworn, and others fresh. Perhaps the relative the candidate discusses the most on the campaign trail is grandfather Silvino Rossi, a turn-of-the-20thcentury Black Diamond coal miner and immigrant from Taranta Peligna, Italy. Grandparents Silvino and Concetta Rossi “came here because they thought it could be a better place for themselves, their children and their grandchildren — the idea that you could rise to whatever level your talent or work ethic would take you, that their grandson could work his way through college as a janitor and become successful in the commercial real estate business and become a state senator,” Dino Rossi said. “That’s all part of the American dream narrative that I think a lot of people sense is slipping away.” Rossi — immaculately dressed in a navy blazer and wingtips at his threadbare campaign headquarters in a Bellevue office park — telegraphs success, despite the outcomes in both gubernatorial races. Rich Thrasher, a Sammamish businessman and Rossi family friend for a decade, said the losses to Gregoire had a longer-lasting effect on supporters than on Rossi. “I think we were all more mad than he was,” Thrasher said. “I believe he just kind of went about his business.” Rossi could rise from the political graveyard yet. The current race is different, he said, due to “huge headwinds” in a GOPfriendly election cycle and volatile electorate. If not, then the suburban dad could settle into the old routine. “What’s the worst case scenario? More time with my wonderful wife and my beautiful children?” Rossi said. “Well, that works.” Warren Kagarise: 392-6434, ext. 234, or wkagarise@isspress.com. Comment at www.issaquahpress.com.

OPINION

No Child Left Behind needs rewriting PRESS E DITORIAL

nother year has come and gone and test results related to No Child Left Behind have been released. Seven schools in the Issaquah School District are now considered “failing” — Issaquah Valley Elementary, Grand Ridge Elementary, Briarwood Elementary, Beaver Lake Middle, Issaquah Middle, Issaquah High and Liberty High. But before you consider moving your child to a different school, or your family to a new district, consider this. The distinction is virtually meaningless. The way the law is structured, it slices the student body of each school into slivers — mostly along racial lines, but also including special categories for children with special needs or who are just learning English. A percentage of students in each of these sub-groups must be proficient on the test for the school as a whole to be considered passing. Likewise, if enough students in one sub-group don’t pass the test, the school is failing, even if 100 percent of the students in all the other groups do make the grade. The system seems largely set up to create failure. In a few years, every student will have to pass the test in order for the school to be considered a passing school. Yes, by 2014, schools will have to achieve a 100 percent pass rate. We’re not statisticians, but common sense tells us that a 100 percent “pass” rate is impossible. In practical terms, this means that a single child (with a runny nose or raging hormones) could have a bad day on a single test, and the entire school would be considered failing as a result. The idea behind the No Child Left Behind law was admirable. It has helped focus attention on historically underserved student populations and made educators think hard about how to reach all of their students. But the law is rapidly outliving its usefulness. Once all schools are failing, then what? The term will lose its meaning and no longer motivate learning communities to improve, since everyone will be failing no matter what they do. Congress needs to overhaul this law long before we reach that threshold. Educators must find ways to continue to push student achievement forward without unrealistic goals.

O FF T HE P RESS

Issaquah makes cameo appearance in book

’ve been reading books lately like they’re going out of style. (With all the e-book readers on the market, they just might be.) I’ve read the gamut, from biographies (Ozzy Osborne) and social commentary (The Obama Diaries) to historical fiction (the Temeraire series, featuring a dragon air corps during the Napoleonic wars) and nonfiction (“Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joseph McCarthy,” fascinating). But it’s urban fantasy that has kept my eyes glued the most to the printed page. Unfortunately, I was getting a little burned out on vampires and werewolves in the oversaturated market of fantastical creatures in modern times. So, I was pleasantly surprised to find a new novel with a plot revolving around Norse mythology and a protagonist normally relegated to sidekick status in other fantasy novels — the blacksmith. I was further surprised the setting for “Black Blade Blues,” by first-time novelist J.A. Pitts, was the Seattle area. It had to be written by a local author as it featured specific locales from Everett to Kent. Then, to my total shock and delight, the main character goes for a run, parking in Gilman Village, in front of the White Horse Toy Store, and heads off down the East Lake Sammamish Trail

to Redmond. Now, I had to track down the author. My first surprise was, with the urban fantasy market cornered by female authors, J.A. Pitts is acDavid tually John Pitts Hayes — a Kentucky Press reporter transplant, living in Bellevue with his wife and two children, toiling in his day job as a computer consultant. The nom de plume was actually a suggestion by the publisher, Pitts said. “They could call me Susie for all I care, as long as the check clears,” he said. His debut novel, “Black Blade Blues,” is based upon one of Pitts’ several short stories. Its development progression started with a writing group assignment to develop a story about a famous sword. While others went the obvious route with Excalibur, Pitts chose Gram from Norse mythology, the famous blade that Sigurd used to slay the dragon Fafnir. Next, Pitts crafted a protagonist, Sarah, a lesbian blacksmith who unknowingly re-forges the See BOOK, Page A5

City manager

I usually see things differently, so there should be no surprise that the article “City invites input as mayor prepares to hire administrator” (Sept. 1), caught my attention. Issaquah has what is known as a “strong mayor” form of city government, so our mayor is elected by the voters to be the “chief executive and administrative officer of the city...” The other alternative is the “city manager” form, where the mayor is a figurehead position and the City Council hires a city manager to run the day-to-day staff functions. In the days when Issaquah’s mayor was a “part-time” position, it made sense to have a city administrator to coordinate the activities of the staff. Then, back in the day, Mayor Rowan Hinds created the position of assistant city administrator, though I have never found where the City Council authorized that change. In 2001, the mayor’s job was officially changed to a “full-time” position by Agenda Bills 4678 and 4721, with pay and benefits to match. The mayor’s salary was again increased in 2007, by Agenda Bill 5568, to $84,000 per year. So, why are we hiring a new city administrator to do the work of a city manager when we have elected a “full-time” “strong mayor” to do that work? Did anyone read about Bell, Calif., recently? But then, as I said, I usually see things differently.

Hank Thomas Issaquah

Second Amendment

Contrary to the opinion of Matthew Barry, that our City Council ignored “overwhelming opposition” at its latest hearing on a land swap to prevent developing Park Pointe, I believe that the council was in fact very responsive to what the people of Issaquah have been asking from the very beginning of this issue. Mr. Barry seems to forget there was “overwhelming opposition” to the development of Park Pointe and the desecration of Tiger Mountain. People turned out in droves, meeting after meeting, to vigorously protest this development. In response to what was clearly the desire of the people of Issaquah, the mayor and council worked very hard to find a way to stop Park Pointe — another cluster housing development like Talus and the highlands. So, this was no “sham” public hearing. The council acted upon what Issaquah residents (outside the highlands) wanted. The only question remaining is: Could the land swap have been arranged in any other location? It was asked, and the answer was that no other opportunity was available. So, the council chose to develop further an area that is already highly developed and to preserve a much-needed pristine mountain slope. And I believe council members should be commended for their good work and courageous decision. All that said, highlands residents nevertheless expressed important concerns and needs. As the details are worked out when the landswap deal proceeds, it is very important that Port Blakely take those concerns into consideration and make adjustments accordingly.

Hats off to Greg Farrar! As president of the Greater Seattle Chapter of Americans United for Separation of Church and State — and an Issaquah resident — I couldn’t agree with his column more. Freedom of religion is “freedom No. 1” and it has been perhaps the greatest foundation stone of American democracy. Some people today don’t realize that our nation was substantially founded by people fleeing religious persecution in their birth countries, for example, the Pilgrims, the Puritans, the Quakers and the Catholics. Indeed, in the debate among the colonies about ratifying the U.S. Constitution, a number of colonies demanded a bill of rights, and chief among them, protection of freedom of religion. For 63 years, Americans United has been the only organization in America with the sole purpose of defending the first freedom named in the First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” It hasn’t always been easy, as there are always those who want to impose their religious beliefs on others or prohibit others from practicing their religion, including through government action. But the history of our nation shows that religious toleration is always the wisest course. Anyone who would like to know more about the history of religious freedom in America or would like to join the cause can e-mail info@augreaterseattle.org.

F ROM THE WEB Proposed Issaquah Highlands dog park That Bark Park “is too far for many highlands residents to walk to from home” is not a reason for another dog park in the highlands. Bark Park is too far for us to walk to from Olde Town! Perhaps we can take our dog on the freebee bus that goes to the highlands? Where is our dog park in the lowlands of Issaquah? Perhaps we should be content to walk our dogs in front of the many art galleries and restaurants on Front Street? Bryan Weinstein

East Lake Sammamish Trail I oppose further expansion of the East Lake Sammamish Trail; it’s unnecessary to lay down asphalt and widen the trail. I’m on the trail nearly every day and it’s heavily used by both bicyclists and pedestrians who manage just fine. There will be a negative impact on the wildlife in the area that feeds on the streams along the trail that you intend to fill with asphalt.

Expanding the wetlands in Lake Sammamish State Park will not benefit the wildlife that lives on the plateau along East Lake Sammamish and relies on the streams. What do you think the wildlife is going to do — relocate to the park? It’s bad enough that there’s no passage for wildlife to get from the plateau to the lake. A few weeks ago, I saw a female duck with her six ducklings frantically struggling to get beyond the concrete barriers along the west side of East Lake Sammamish to the streams. Once you cover them up, the ducks will have no place to go; they certainly cannot get to the lake with the wall-to-wall housing along its shoreline. This is, in effect, a death sentence for indigenous wildlife on the Eastside and a shortsighted legislative effort to alter the effective balance in the name of “progress.” Carolyn Caffey

City accepts NOAA grant for fish passage By Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporter Though the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration could not fund the entire $3 million cost for a proposed fish passage near the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery, the federal agency has agreed to grant $172,375 to design and permit the project. The state Department of Fish and Wildlife — the hatchery owner and operator — has agreed to match the NOAA grant, bringing the total to $344,750. City Council members accepted the NOAA grant Sept. 7; the state money must be handled through a separate process. Plans call for the aging dam upstream from the hatchery to be demolished and replaced by a series of boulder weirs in Issaquah

County adds safety features near Briarwood, Pacific Cascade King County crews completed pedestrian-safety projects near Briarwood Elementary School and Pacific Cascade Middle School in time for students to return to campus. The county Road Services Division installed electronic speed limit signs along 168th Avenue Southeast and Southeast 314th Street near Briarwood. The signs use solar power to operate. Near Pacific Cascade, the Road Services Division added a curb, gutter and sidewalk to Southeast Issaquah-Fall City Road, plus electronic speed limit signs. Classes started Aug. 31 in the Issaquah School District. “Our department works with more than 15 districts that have

Creek. The project also includes replacement of the water-supply intake from the creek to the hatchery. Built in the 1930s and overhauled in the 1960s, the dam acts as a barrier for salmon and other fish to 11 miles of Issaquah Creek and tributary habitat upstream. Many adult salmon become marooned and die each year when the fish jump onto the shelf-like concrete apron at the base of the dam. “While some fish get past, most of them get beached on the shelf that’s part of the dam,” Gestin Suttle, executive director of the nonprofit Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery, said after the council accepted the grant. The total cost to design, permit and construct the weir and intake could reach $4 million. The city

applied for a $3 million grant in November 2009. In late August, NOAA informed the city about the grant allocation. The agency only funds construction for projects after design and permitting has been completed. Issaquah officials agreed to accept the grant money to complete design in order to make the project “shovel ready” and eligible for future NOAA dollars. “We’re going to be in a much better position,” city Surface Water Manager Kerry Ritland said. The city has received grant dollars to design the updated fish passage piecemeal. Issaquah received a $400,000 Salmon Recovery Funding Board grant from the state Recreation and Conservation Office in March 2008. The city, state Department of Fish and Wildlife, local agencies

and FISH provided the required 15 percent match for the grant. In addition to the dam blocking salmon from reaching upstream habitat, the hatchery has also had problems related to the intake. Nearly 200,000 coho salmon died at the hatchery in November 2006 after leaves blocked the intake, cutting water flow to the hatchery and causing the water’s dissolved-oxygen content to fall too low for the number of fish in the pond. The updated intake design includes airburst systems to remove debris from the intake screens, plus measures to limit the amount of sediment flowing into the hatchery.

schools in unincorporated areas of the county to keep students safe as they walk or bike to school,” Road Services Division Manager Linda Dougherty said in a news release. “It’s a healthy habit for students, and it helps reduce traffic congestion around the schools.” Dougherty said the Road Division works with school district transportation officials and school principals to make walking routes safer in unincorporated King County. The division has focused on paving road shoulders and adding curbs to create walking paths alongside the roadway, adding flashing lights to remind motorists about schoolchildren, and re-striping crosswalks and other road markings near schools.

mythical blade, when things really get crazy with dwarves, trolls and dragons, just as she’s trying to come to grips with her own inner turmoil of coming out while maintaining a burgeoning relationship. Then, he mapped out the setting. “I decided if I was going to write about a fantasy work within a modern setting, why not make it Seattle?” Pitts said. “There’s a lot of magic in this area.” The tale just fit, he said, after having driven around much of the region. Just be careful when reading the novel about spots you think you might recognize. I fell into that trap when I thought I knew exactly which out-of-theway Mexican restaurant in Everett he set a scene in. “Totally made that one up,” he confided. But the Issaquah location was real. Pitts needed a lengthy trail for Sarah to run down to work through a personal crisis. Looking at a map, Pitts discovered the East Lake Sammamish Trail was the perfect length for her to exhaust herself by the time she reached Marymoor Park in Redmond. However, Pitts discovered the perils of using real locations in a work of fiction. He admits he had a “brain fart” when he wrote “Cascade Peninsula” instead of “Olympic Peninsula.” It kills him that, he said, that after all of the research he did, from the blacksmith profession to medieval re-enactors from the Society for Creative Anachronism, he gets a regional geographical name wrong and none of his team of editors, publishers or friends caught it. Regardless of the small snafu, Pitts has penned a well-crafted debut novel, receiving overwhelming feedback leaving readers eagerly anticipating more. “For my next book,” he said, “everyone I know wants to be in it and says, ‘Can I die?’” As he pours over maps to discover the next out-of-the way location to set an epic battle, Pitts has outlined the plot all the way through the fifth installment, with book two already in the publisher’s hands. If ever Pitts needs a template for a local reporter, he’s got my number.

Smart Tips from a Dentist, who for 20 years, “works for his patients.”

“Seek out a Second Opinion”. Not all dentists think the same way. Find a dentist who won’t charge to offer a second opinion.

“You need to know that there are always multiple ways to address or fix a dental problem.” Find a dentist who outlines multiple options to help resolve your dental issues.

“Start somewhere.” Not all dentistry needs to be done tomorrow. Find a dentist willing to create a multi-year approach maximizing your dental insurance, possibly saving your “out of pocket dollars”.

4. “Up the Homecare.” In a questionable economy, you and your family should be practicing your best homecare ever. To save money and stay out of the office, listen to the broken record your dental staff is singing, and “floss, floss, floss.”

“Same Faces.” Building relationships within the same dental staff can be rewarding.

6. “Find a dental practice who builds on referrals more than fees.” Some beautiful dental offices are willing to keep their fees lower than most, because they grow their patient base with referrals, and not on high fees. 7. 8.

“PPO’S.” Dental offices enrolled with PPO’s have less out of pocket costs. “PPO’s using PPO’s.” Find a dental office that offers you the option to see specialists who also participate in your PPO.

Scouts add bat and birdhouses along trail Bats and birds received places to roost along Pickering Trail as part of a summer Boy Scout project. Scouts built four bat houses and six birdhouses along the trail near Issaquah Creek. The bat houses — built by Lars Boettcher as he worked toward Eagle Scout status — house little brown bats, a common species in King County. Using donations and grant dollars, he built the bat houses to state Department of Fish and Wildlife standards for the species. In addition, Boettcher and his troop installed six birdhouses for cavity nesting birds — flickers and downy woodpeckers — along the trail. Scout Sean Morris built the birdhouses and almost 40 others for the city Parks & Recreation

Department as part of his Eagle Scout project. Plans call for the other birdhouses to be installed on city open space and natural areas in preparation for next spring. Bats serve as important environmental indicators and insectcontrol agents. For instance, a single little brown bat can eat several hundred mosquitoes each night. In a single summer, a bat can eat thousands of night-flying pests. The city has asked trail users not to disturb the roosting bats. During the winter, bats migrate to warmer climates or hibernate in a roost by living off of fat built up during the summer. If disturbed, a hibernating bat uses the fat reserve, putting the animal in danger.

It takes a village to grant a wish Crazy for a good cause, UW grads take on Ironman By Paige Collins Best friends and University of Washington graduates Buddy Waddington and Kurtis Dane are putting their strength and persistence to the test with the hope of raising $10,000 for the Make-AWish Foundation. The crazy part? They aspire to complete the Ford Ironman Arizona 2010 on Nov. 21, with no triathlon experience as of yet. An Ironman is the ultimate test of endurance, according to the team, with a 2.4 mile swim, 112-mile bike ride, and a 26.2-mile run, all in a row. Waddington, of Newcastle, described the plan as a “self-appointed senior project,” in which they could use their marketing skills as business students to raise the money and the extra time they had as college students to train. “Why don’t we do a crazy college thing and do it for a good cause?” he said. Dane, of Renton, said he sees the project as a way to mark the completion of college with positive memories. “A lot of the time, people will look back on their college career and think of drunken nights,” he said. “I want to look back and think that I accomplished something in my college years.” The team, going by the name BudandKurt, aims to represent the local area in supporting the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Alaska, Montana, Northern Idaho and Washington. Their target, $10,000, is enough to grant wishes to two children with lifethreatening medical conditions, Waddington said. So far, they have raised just under $1,000 and are beginning their first real push for donations and sponsorships. Sponsors will have their logo displayed on both the official BudandKurt uniforms during the Ironman, as well as the training clothes they will wear before the race. Individuals are encouraged to donate as well. See IRONMEN, Page B3

Sick youth organizes walk-a-thon By Laura Geggel Issaquah Press reporter When Cullen Rogers fell ill, the Issaquah community reached forward to embrace him with support. Now, Rogers wants to help other children living with life-threatening conditions by fundraising for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. At age 12, Rogers, a Bothell resident, found his fingers hurt him. His parents thought he had sprained them and told him to be more careful during gym class. But a later X-ray showed no sprain, and anti-inflammatory medication didn’t help his fingers recover. By the time a specialist at Seattle Children’s diagnosed him with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, the disease had spread to his limbs, knees, wrists and ankles. “It was everywhere,” his mother, Shelley Rogers, said. Doctors prescribed him more aggressive medication, but Cullen still had to stop playing baseball and basketball. “He wasn’t able to swing the bat.” Shelley Rogers said. “His life

changed in a few months’ time from being really active to having lots of doctors’ appointments.” Then, life threw him another curveball. Doctors diagnosed him with severe obstructive pulmonary disease, meaning he had trouble getting air out of his lungs. He needed a double lung transplant to survive, and miraculously, within 36 hours of getting on the United Network for Organ Sharing, Cullen found a match. He and his parents flew to Stanford Hospital, and Cullen got a new pair of lungs in January 2008, when he was 13. Lisa Reinitz, of Issaquah, and her sisters, helped their nephew by babysitting his twin sisters when he and his parents stayed in California. As Cullen’s medical drama unfolded, Cullen found support from his immediate family in Bothell and Issaquah, and even Issaquah well-wishers he had never met. Issaquah lends a hand Issaquah resident Tom Cochran regularly receives emails from his sister-in-law, asking him to pray for people facing challenges or illness. When he heard about Cullen Rogers’ story in fall 2008, he decided to share it with his third-grade Sunday school class at St. Joseph Catholic Church and School.

Cullen Rogers, 12, waits in the sunshine while having his face painted with the team’s name. “I thought they could probably relate to that, to someone who was having trouble,” Cochran said. He mentioned it to his mother, another St. Joseph member, and she surprised him, saying she knew Cullen’s grandparents, who also go to the Issaquah church. At the next service, Cochran met Dorothy Rogers, Cullen’s grandmother. “She told me more of the story about his arthritis and lungs,” Cochran said. “She said, ‘It’s wonderful that the thirdgraders are learning about his story and praying for him.’ I said, ‘How about we send him a get-well banner?’” From there, Cochran’s class began sending Cullen get-well cards and paper snowflakes when it snowed in Issaquah, but not in Stanford, where he was recovering. “They started asking every class. It got to be where it was normal routine to have a report about how Cullen was doing,” Cochran said. Cullen’s grandparents, Dorothy See WALKATHON, Page B3

Students learn the simple things while volunteering in Indonesia By Jonathan Moore The world recently got a lot larger for two Seattle Pacific University juniors. Issaquah residents Hannah Sherwood and Chrissy Hughes recently returned from a volunteer mission to Indonesia, where they helped with community projects as locals prepared for Ramadan, the Islamic month of fasting. “I wanted to give back,” Hughes said. “The motto at SPU is ‘engaging the culture and changing the world,’ so I wanted to do that on a big scale.” The mission trip was part of Seattle Pacific Reachout International, a short-term missions program for students supported by SPU’s John Perkins Center for Reconciliation, Leadership Training

and Community Development. Fifty students volunteered in nine countries this summer through the SPRINT program. Owen Sallee, coordinator for Global and Urban Involvement at the John Perkins Center and staff advisor for the SPRINT program, said SPRINT helps students “expand their understanding of God and the world” by engaging them in communities around the globe. “Our hope is to help students develop cross-cultural competency, grow in their awareness of community development practices and learn from the example of local leaders who are deeply invested in their communities,” Sallee said. But before taking off, Sherwood and Hughes had some work to do in their own communities. They

sold tulips, held car washes and sent out support letters in order to raise funds for their trip. They spent their month abroad island hopping with a translator in tow. On each island, Sherwood and Hughes stayed with host families, sometimes in stilted houses raised over the surface of the water. Living with the locals was an experience that allowed for intimate cultural exchanges. They dis-

By Laura Geggel Issaquah Press reporter Bridget considers herself a strong woman, so strong that she found a way to save herself and her young son from her abusive husband. The two got help from the Eastside Domestic Violence Program, and now Bridget is giving back by cycling with the Lakemont Ladies Cycling Club during the annual Cycle the WAVE — Women Against Violence Everywhere — Issaquah bike ride. It takes seven times for an abused woman to actually leave her husband, Cycle the WAVE ride director Sharon Anderson said. “I was on time five,” said Bridget, who asked that her last name not be used, because she lives in confidential housing to protect herself and her son. She lived with her husband for 10 years and lived with multiple kinds of abuse: emotional, psychological, verbal, physical and financial. “Things really changed for me when I had my son,” she said. The family had lived in Seattle, but later moved to Las Vegas. Bridget said she had no phone, no computer and no car. Still, she found a way to call emergency shelters. Of all the shelters, the women at the EDVP were the most compassionate, Bridget said. EDVP has served more than 104,800 victims of domestic violence since it opened in 1982. For every person the EDVP shelters, the nonprofit has to turn 18 away for financial reasons and limited space. “I told my ex we were leaving to see family. Otherwise, I would have never gotten out,” she said. Her family, relieved she was finally leaving her husband, paid for her plane ticket and picked her up from the airport. She met the director of the EDVP at an arranged location, and the director drove her to an emergency shelter, where she stayed for one month with her son. The shelter was not a place to settle, but a place to help women make the break from their relationships and learn about local resources. “I compare it to an emergency room,” Bridget said, whose bedroom had a red button that would dial the police. “It’s a secure feeling, but you’re always aware of

your situation.” At the shelter, she received bus tickets, food, counseling and learned about the Department of Social and Health Services and child advocacy groups. Her son, then 3, had begun to verbalize the abuse he had experienced. “My husband would tell him to go punch me,” Bridget said. “My son is so sensitive. I knew that for his sake I had to leave.” With the help of the EDVP, Bridget moved to transitional housing and enrolled in Seattle Central Community College’s social and human services program. Now, she has custody of her son and protection orders in place. She also has a 4.0 grade point average and a full scholarship for this year. Once she has her degree, Bridget said she wants to write grants and work in legal advocacy. Cycle the WAVE In April, Bridget spoke at an EDVP fundraiser, where she met Issaquah’s Anderson. Three years ago, Anderson combined two of her interests: the Rising Star Guild for the Eastside Domestic Violence Program and the Lakemont Ladies Cycling Club. The result, Cycle the WAVE, debuted in 2008, with 253 riders raising $23,000. Last year, participation in the ride more than doubled, with 604 women fundraising $50,000. Her goal for 2010 is 1,000 riders bringing in $100,000. The ride — not a race — invites women to cycle 25, 40 or 62 miles. Women from the area, including Eastside Fire & Rescue and Issaquah schools, pedal throughout Issaquah for their sisSee BIKERS, Page B3

Ruth Barker Ruth Barker, of Renton and formerly of Issaquah, died at Overlake Hospital in Bellevue on Friday, Sept. 3, 2010. She was 94. Ruth loved being around Ruth Barker her family and fittingly she left this life surrounded by those she loved. Ruth was born Nov. 5, 1915, in Seattle, to Christina and Edwin Runyan. She lived most of her life in the Seattle area, graduating from Franklin High School in 1934. After high school, she held numerous jobs, including a stint as one of the early employees for the Eddie Bauer Sporting Goods Com., where she met her husband, Cliff Barker. Ruth modeled bathing suits and sportswear for the company, appearing in many newspaper ads. Ruth and Cliff were married in 1942. They raised three sons, James, Bradley and Edwin. After World War II, Ruth and Cliff moved to Rainier Beach, and then the Lakeridge area to raise their family. Following Cliff's death in 1997, Ruth married Elmer Jones in 2001 and they lived at the University

House in Issaquah until his death in 2007. Ruth then lived at an adult family home in Renton, where she received wonderful care. In addition to spending time with her family, Ruth enjoyed discussing current events, going to the casino to play blackjack and writing/reciting funny poetry, including “The Broken-Hearted Dutchman,” “De Soto” and “Whistling in Heaven.” Ruth’s ability to mess up even the simplest punch lines to her stories and jokes entertained and amused her family and friends. Ruth had an amazing ability to light up a room with smiles and endear herself to everyone who had the good fortune to know her. Ruth was a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. In addition to her three sons, she is survived by five grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Ruth loved life and was blessed with good health and a positive outlook. Her warmth and incredible sense of humor will be remembered by all who shared her life. Laughter and smiles always surrounded her. She will be greatly missed. Ruth belonged to the Children's Orthopedic Guild for many years. Remembrances may be made to the Seattle Children's Hospital Foundation in her name. Arrangements were entrusted to Flintoft’s Funeral Home, 392-6444.

Jack Sato Jack Sato, of Sammamish, died Sept. 8, 2010, at Evergreen Hospital in Kirkland, following a series of strokes. He was 88. Jack was born Jan. 10, 1922, in HonJack Sato olulu, Hawaii. In his younger years, he worked at a sugar cane factory, swam and bicycled for the high school teams, and enjoyed photography and developing his own pictures. He played tennis until he was 80. He was an avid chess and poker player and enjoyed solving all sorts of puzzles. Jack was an eyewitness to the attack on Pearl Harbor. It inspired him to volunteer for the U.S. Army, but at the time the army was very restrictive about admission of Japanese-Americans, so initially he was only allowed to join the reserves. Following the conclusion of hostilities, he was allowed to join the regular Army and was stationed in post-war Germany. There, he met his wife Elisabeth, a young German widow who had twin daughters. He married Elisabeth on July 29, 1954, in Hei-

delberg, Germany. After marriage, they moved to the U.S. to raise their family. He used the GI Bill to attend the University of Colorado, where he received a Bachelor of Science in chemical engineering, specializing in metallurgy. His field took him to the steel mills in Gary, Ind., and then to a copper plant in Hammond, Ind., where he worked the majority of his career. While living in Indiana, Jack and Elisabeth had two children, son Marc and daughter Kay. After his retirement, Jack and Elisabeth moved to California to care for their son Marc, who was seriously ill. Following Marc’s death in 1995, they moved to Sammamish. Elisabeth predeceased Jack just six months ago. In her final 18 months, Elisabeth was a resident of a nursing home, and Jack’s focus in life was visiting her daily. Jack is survived by siblings Larry Sato, of Sammamish, and Mamoru Sato, Dorothy Ham and Ruth Torigoe, of Honolulu, Hawaii; daughters Evelyn (Kriss) Peters, of Graham, Sibylle (Larry) Horvath, of Crown Point, Ind., and Kay (Ron) Soukup, of Sammamish. Jack also leaves behind five grandchildren and four greatgrandchildren. Friends are invited to share memories and sign the family’s online guest book at www.flintofts.com.

Their 40th wedding anniversary was a twomonth trip to Australia. After retirement, he and his sister Bertha compiled, funded and published a massive Lorenz family genealogy and distributed it to numerous family members. He was preceded in death by his parents Jacob Lorenz in 1958 and Katherine Lorenz in 1966 and later his brother Bob and sister Bertha. Survivors include his wife of 53 years, Barbara; sons Scott, of Lynnwood, and Jeff, of Issaquah; and six grandchildren. Arrangements are by Flintoft’s Funeral Home and Crematory. Friends are invited to share memories and sign the family’s online guest book at www.flintofts.com.

Robert “Bob” E. Ferguson, of Renton and Issaquah, died late Friday night, Sept. 3, 2010. He was 62. The family had a private celebration of Robert Ferguson life gathering Sept. 11. Bob was born May 4, 1948, in Seattle, to Robert and Sophie Ferguson. He was raised in the Renton area and graduated from Renton High School, where he met his wife of 30 years, Judy Hodges. They settled in Issaquah, where they started their family with the birth of their daughter Jodi in 1978. There were many wonderful

and Lyle Rogers, visited the class and shared Cullen’s story. Cullen wanted to come, too, but his immune system needed time to recover from his surgery. “It just made me almost tear up that the kids would think that much about a young man that they didn’t even know,” Dorothy Rogers said. “Every few weeks, I would get a ton of cards from the thirdgrade class,” Cullen said. “It meant a lot to know that people were there with you every day, because it was hard.” Cullen continued to receive support through his illness. The summer after his surgery, he received a wish through the MakeA-Wish Foundation. “When I found out from my doctor that I was eligible for Make-A-Wish, I knew right away I wanted to do the Seattle Mariners and meet Felix Hernandez and watch the game,” Cullen said. The day of the game, the sun shone, the Mariners beat the Minnesota Twins and Cullen got signed Mariners paraphernalia. “It meant so much to me,” Cullen said. “It’s not just the wish, the wish is great. It just kind of boosts your spirit. “Even before the wish, it gives you something to look forward to,” he added. “Before you make a wish, you’re just worrying about your health and all of your appointments.” He started raising money for the annual summer Make-A-Wish 5K and even spoke at a Make-A-

and happy years in Issaquah, where Bob considered home. Bob and Judy were divorced, but remained friends. The landscape maintenance business was Bob’s passion. He was considered very good at what he did. Bob is survived by his loving daughter, Jodi Duran (Ferguson); his 1-year-old granddaughter, who was the light of his life; his son-inlaw Mathew Duran; his loving exwife and friend Judy Ferguson; his loving sister Judy Brown; and numerous extended family and friends. The family sincerely thanks Flintoft’s Funeral Home for all of its help and support during this very difficult time. Friends and family are invited to share memories, view photos and sign the family’s online guest book at www.flintofts.com.

Wish Foundation fundraiser. In 2009, he raised about $1,200, and this year his team has raised about $6,300. Cullen thanked his Issaquah supporters and said he would continue to fundraise for the foundation. With the wish, “You can control it, and you can’t really control your health stuff,” he said. “You can go back to all of the memorabilia. It boosts your spirits. I want to help other kids have that.” Laura Geggel: 392-6434, ext. 241, or lgeggel@isspress.com. Comment at www.issaquahpress.com.

those stereotypes.” Sherwood and Hughes engaged with the communities through service projects that they carried out on each island they visited. They helped repair a dock, taught English, extended a terrace, built a retaining wall and renovated a mosque. Women were not allowed to work on some of the projects, so Sherwood and Hughes helped by going to the wells to fetch water for the men. As Ramadan approached, they assisted local communities in preparing for the month of reverence. “We cleared out a cemetery,” Hughes said. During Ramadan, “the Muslims on the island visit cemeteries to honor the dead, so we helped them get ready for that.” The students spent a lot of time repairing things, but they also got a chance to build relationships and have fun.

“We want our community not just to donate but to become a part of the team and the movement,” Waddington said. While the team has yet to participate in a triathlon, Waddington and Dane ran a marathon together in under four hours and completed the Seattle to Portland bicycle ride in one day this past July. Their swimming experience is limited at best, however, with the LA Fitness swimming pool in Renton being their only place of training so far, Dane reported. “Swimming is scary,” Waddington said. “Running is definitely our strong spot, but Kurt is doing really well swimming wise.” Battling shin splints and other injuries, they both train seven days a week for two to four hours each day, Dane said. Doctors tell him to rest, but he’s not capable, he said.

ters in need. Men and other volunteers can donate money or help on the course. “I think being in an allwomen’s ride is a great atmosphere,” Lakemont Ladies cyclist Linda Brummett, of Mercer Island, said. Tina Martinez, of Sammamish, agreed. “We’re women who can help women live the life they deserve,” she said.

“One night we went shrimping in the middle of the night,” Hughes said. “It’s what the fisherman do there for a living. We went out at midnight and walked through the water at low tide and caught the shrimp.” There was also a jungle hike, complete with monkeys and a jump off a waterfall. The volunteer mission was a lesson in humility for Hughes. “The people showed me how to be content with simplicity and really embrace that, and not always feel like you need to strive for more,” she said. For Sherwood, the importance of basic needs was also magnified. “I was able to understand families and see that everybody, no matter the language they speak, no matter the environment they have, that it all comes down to love,” Sherwood said. “Everybody needs to be loved and needs to give away love.” Jonathan Moore is a student in the University of Washington Department of Communication News Laboratory.

Best friends since high school, the two graduated from the University of Washington together in June, and rather than entering the corporate world are following their dream to build their own small company. Working with another friend, Tyler Smith, they built TBK Consulting, a marketing and consulting firm that focuses on social media marketing. As for the Ironman, both Waddington and Dane know that they have picked a difficult race, but they embrace the challenge, adding that it is worth the effort to support their community. “It’s definitely pretty nuts, almost stupid,” Waddington said. “But we want to show that we can make a change by doing something a little crazy and out of our comfort zone.”

Graham Hunter, owner of Veloce Velo Bike Shop in downtown Issaquah, has sponsored the ride since its inception. This year, he gave even more, donating a 24speed Scott Speedster to Bridget for the ride. Cycle the WAVE surprised her with the bicycle during a TV interview with “New Day Northwest” on KING 5.

Teenagers hearing less with hearing loss By Laura Geggel Issaquah Press reporter One in five teenagers is experiencing slight hearing loss, according to a recent study of the nation’s youth. Hearing loss can affect teenagers in more ways than one. In addition to asking people to repeat themselves, it can compromise social development, communication skills and educational achievement, according to the study. Published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the study compared teenage hearing loss from 1988-1994 and 2005-06, using data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The survey looked at youths ages 12-19 — 2,928 from 19881994 and 1,771 from 2005-06. Data showed that hearing loss had increased significantly, from about 15 percent in 1988-1994 to about 20 percent in 2005-06. Those with hearing loss were more likely to have trouble hearing high frequencies. Linnea Peterson, an otolaryngologist — an ear, nose and throat doctor — who works at Swedish/Issaquah, said even slight hearing loss can affect people. “If there is a lot of noise around you and you have a mild high-frequency loss, you can have much more difficulty talking to someone next to you, because you’ve lost some of the sound, some of the clarity,” Peterson said.

Sam Luna, 14, of North Bend, gets his hearing checked by audiologist Anita Johnson, MS, at Virginia Mason Issaquah. People who have trouble hearing high-frequency sounds often lose sounds like S and T. “The words start to get muddy and it’s a lot harder to understand,” Peterson said. “You hear that they’re talking, you know that they’re right there, but you can’t interpret it as well.”

The study also found that teenagers tend to lose hearing in only one ear. While this might sound good — one is better than none, after all — it can make hearing difficult, especially with highfrequency hearing loss. Virginia Mason Issaquah otolaryngologist Jamie Chang said the

body uses both ears to help pinpoint the location of a sound. “High frequency (loss) often times can affect your ability to be able to identify where sound is coming from,” Chang said.

Virginia Mason honored as top hospital in Northwest

Overlake’s Issaquah clinic offers classes

Seattle’s Virginia Mason Medical Center again received the highest overall score of any reporting hospital in the Northwest in the 2010 Leapfrog Group Survey. Virginia Mason also scored the highest in Washington in highrisk treatment safety ratings and overall patient safety ratings among all reporting hospitals. Virginia Mason has an Issaquah clinic at 100 N.E. Gilman Blvd. The latest results follow last December’s Leapfrog announcement that Virginia Mason was one of only 37 hospitals and eight children’s hospitals to be named to its prestigious Top Hospitals list. Virginia Mason fully met Leapfrog standards in 11 of 16 categories. Virginia Mason rated in the highest quartile in all four of the survey’s measures for cost of care, including heart bypass surgery, heart angioplasty, heart attack and pneumonia. Virginia Mason also is in the top quartile for Leapfrog’s “steps to avoid harm” ratings, which includes such practices as hand hygiene, reducing catheter-related infections, reducing ventilator-associated pneumonia, preventing urinary tract infections, and assessing and preventing blood clots.

Hearing through the ages Hearing screenings begin the minute babies are born, Chang said. When children enter elementary school, their hearing is typically screened once a year. Children develop language and social interactions in elementary school, and hearing screenings can catch ear infections, wax buildup or other maladies and help families seek medical attention if necessary. Most middle and high school children do not have regular hearing tests, but Chang said older children are more likely to tell an adult if they are experiencing hearing problems. Hearing decreases with age, but usually it takes time. “Most changes happen later in adult life,” Chang said. “You’ll have 25-year-olds with the same hearing as they were when they were 5.” Depending on the type and severity of hearing loss, a patient could be a candidate for a hearing aid or a cochlear implant. “There are some situations where there can be some recovery, but generally it is permanent,” Peterson said. Turn it down People listening to headphones are not always aware how loud their music is, but passers-by can help them, Chang said. “If someone can hear it from about an arm’s length away, it’s too loud,” she said. Not all teenagers listen to loud music. Issaquah High School senior Shannon Chen said she listens to classical music to help her con-

Shannon Chen listens to classical music at the Issaquah Library after school. Chen said music helps her concentrate, but some teenagers who listen to loud music may be damaging their hearing.

centrate on her homework. “It depends where I am,” Chen said. “I usually don’t like my music cranked up to the point where other people can hear it.” Her friend Elaine Huang said she listens to her iPod Touch almost everywhere: She plugs it into speakers at home, listens on the car ride to school, between classes and on the bus ride home. The music “gets me pumped,” she said. “The loudest I usually get is on the bus. I have a lot of middle schoolers on the bus. I make it louder so I can drown out their voices.” But Peterson warned against listening to loud music that is too loud for too long. “I think that there are a lot of times where the world gets to be so noisy that you don’t realize that the level has crept up to an

intensity level that is a problem,” she said. People listening to loud music or other loud noises can use earplugs or move away from the sound, Chang said. People who feel pressure or hear ringing in their ears should reduce the amount of noise they are hearing, she added. Concerned parents can set vol-

ume controls on Apple iPods and iPhones by using the volume limit adjustment. “We would encourage individuals to be careful with how loud and how long they are exposed to noise,” said Gary Curhan, the study’s senior author, of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. The study also found that teenagers from families living below the federal poverty threshold were more likely to have hearing loss. While they did not investigate the causes of the hearing loss, the study’s researchers did cite a 2010 Australian study linking hearing loss in children who use personal listening devices. Peterson said the best thing for parents to do was talk to their children about hearing loss. “I think, being the parent of a teenager myself, some of it is making sure the teenagers are aware of it,” she said, “because when you’re an adolescent, you’re not thinking about what your hearing is going to be like when you’re 60, necessarily.” Laura Geggel: 392-6434, ext. 241, or lgeggel@isspress.com.

Eagles beat Patriots in two OT stunner

BY GREG FARRAR

Taylor Wyman, Issaquah senior running back, is in the end zone on a 25-yard run, too late for Liberty’s Noel Hamilton (39) and Jay Chakravarty (33) to stop, to tie the score 21-all at the end of the first overtime. By Tim Pfarr Issaquah Press reporter

n the Sept. 10 battle between Issaquah and Liberty high schools, the game came down to a matter of feet. In the second overtime, senior Issaquah linebacker Nik Landdeck stripped senior Liberty running back Chandler Jenkins near the goal line, securing the Eagles’ victory 27-21. The match was the first between the teams since 2007, as Issaquah grew from a 3A to a 4A school. The teams traded blows throughout the game, and Issaquah struck first with a 2-yard touchdown run by junior quarterback Ethan Kalin, with 7 minutes and 32 seconds remaining in the first quarter. Liberty struck back in the second quarter, when Jenkins intercepted a pass from Kalin at Issaquah’s 35-yard line and ran it back for a touchdown, tying the game at 7. Issaquah lined up for a

38-yard field-goal attempt with 1:25 remaining in the half, but kicker and running back Taylor Wyman’s kick fell short, leaving the game tied at halftime. “Going into halftime, we thought we could have been up 28-0,” Wyman said. “We missed a lot of big plays, and we were destroying them on defense, but our offense didn’t really finish on drives.” Issaquah struck again in the third quarter, with a touchdown pass from Kalin to receiver Evan Peterson with 2:08 left in the third quarter. The fourth quarter kept fans on edge with a missed field-goal attempt by Liberty, an interception

by Issaquah’s Eric Rauch, a pass interference call against Liberty on a fourth and 14 attempt by Issaquah from the Liberty 20, and a high snap on an Issaquah fieldgoal attempt. Liberty came back to life when senior quarterback Trey Wheeler scrambled through the backfield and connected with sophomore receiver Tynan Gilmore on a 56-yard pass play for a touchdown to tie the game at 14 with 1:30 remaining in the game. Liberty head coach Steve Valach said Gilmore and other young players stepped up to make big plays in the absence of senior wide receiver Jake Bainton, who was out after dislocating his shoulder against Skyline Sept. 3. Liberty’s offense took the field first in overtime, and Wheeler connected with sophomore receiver Scott Dean on third and goal from the 14 for a touchdown. However, Issaquah running back Wyman responded with a 25-yard touch-

down run, tying the game at 21 and sending it to a second overtime. Wyman ran for another touchdown in the second overtime, but missed the extra point. Liberty took the field and marched its way to the 3-yard line, but Landdeck stripped the ball on a first-and-goal attempt to end the game. Members of the Liberty offense stood on the field stunned as Issaquah’s bench and fans charged the field. Bennett charged the field as well, running about with his arms spread wide above his head. “I saw the ball roll on the ground, there was a pile,” Bennett said. “Our kids started jumping and when I saw the referee point his hand, I just thought, ‘Thank god the night’s over.’” However, he said mistakes made the game closer than it should have been. “It’s a frustrating night for us,” Bennett said. “We felt like we should be up three or four scores. I thought we just dominated the ball game and just couldn’t put it away in the red zone.” Valach said the call was a tough one to swallow, at least at the time. “It’s hard when it kind of feels like a judgment call that ends the game,” he said. “But maybe it wasn’t. We might watch the film and find out that wasn’t a judgment call, it was really a crystalclear call.” Liberty won 25-6 when the teams last met in 2007. At halftime, Liberty held its first Hall of Fame ceremony. Inducted into the Patriots’ Hall of Fame was the 1988 3A state championship team and the late Aaron Armstrong, a star running back on the team. Issaquah has its home opener Sept. 17 and will honor the late Gary Moore, the school’s head coach for 28 years, with a special dedication. The Eagles’ stadium has been renamed Gary Moore Stadium. Moore passed away two years ago. Tim Pfarr: 392-6434, ext. 239, or newcas@isspress.com. Comment at www.issaquahpress.com.

Deep Skyline team eyes repeat state title By Christopher Huber, Bob Taylor and Tim Pfarr Issaquah Press reporters If anyone rooting for the Skyline High School girls swimming team was worried that it might not be as deep or thoroughly dominating in 2010 as last year’s 4A state championship squad, coach Susan Simpkins seemed confident the Spartans will remain strong. Although state champ and allaround powerhouse Andie Taylor graduated, Skyline brings back possibly more experienced young swimmers than it knows what to do with. And while the 2009 team was 78 strong, the 2010 squad has 92 swimmers, six of whom are divers, Simpkins said. If it wasn’t enough to return consistent district and state winners Nina Zook, Meghan O’Keefe and Maria Volodkevich, Skyline brought on former Eastlake phenom Katie Kinnear to begin the fall. Kinnear, who has competed among the best youth swimmers in the world, moved into the Skyline attendance area last year. “She’s an all-around swimmer,” Simpkins said. As the team is larger than ever, captains Zook, Adrian D’Alo, Kelly Freeman and Jackie Woods, all seniors, will have their hands full helping the girls stay focused on another team state title. But first, they have to beat perennial powerhouse Garfield and swim fast in the KingCo Conference and district meets. The Spartans got their season off to a winning start Sept. 7 by beating Issaquah 95-72 at Julius Boehm Pool. The key is “staying focused and just swimming well, so we can get to state,” Simpkins said. “If the girls stay focused, we will have a

In last week’s meet against Skyline, Maier, sophomore Kellie Langan, Borth and Flaten took second in the 200 medley relay. Other first places for the Eagles came from Borth in the 50 freestyle and Jamie Elderkin in diving.

Zook pulled ahead to win by three-tenths of a second. very strong season.” Volodkevich, a sophomore, won two events and swam as a member of two relay teams that posted state-qualifying times. Skyline won the 200 medley relay and the 400 freestyle relay. The 200 medley relay team posted a time of 1:53.33 and the 400 freestyle relay team won in 3:47.36. Volodkevich, Kinnear, O’Keefe and Zook made up both relays. O’Keefe, Zook and Volodkevich were members of last year’s Skyline state-championship 400 freestyle relay. Volodkevich had a state-qualifying time in winning the 100 breaststroke in 1:09.56. She won the 100 breaststroke at state last year, too. Volodkevich captured the 200 freestyle in a district-qualifying time of 2:00.83. Kinnear won the 100 butterfly in a state-qualifying time of 56.01. Freshman Stephanie Munoz, one of the promising newcomers

for Skyline this season, won the 500 freestyle in a district-qualifying time of 5:29.76. Issaquah sophomores Kayla Flaten and Stacy Maier each posted state-qualifying times. Flaten won the 100 freestyle in 44.29 and Maier captured the 100 backstroke in 1:00.78. Both should improve on last year’s efforts at the state meet. Flaten finished third at state in the 100 freestyle and Maier was seventh in the 100 backstroke. Issaquah, which showed strength in the relays at last year’s state meet, had a state-qualifying time in winning the 200 freestyle relay in 1:45.89. Marit Borth, Maier, Kelly Herman and Flaten made up the relay team. Last year, Maier, Borth and Flaten were members of the Eagles’ 200 medley relay that finished second at state. Maier, Herman and Flaten were on the 400 freestyle relay team that finished third.

Patriots look to seniors The Liberty High School girls swim team has phenomenal senior leadership this year, and it will need to rely on those experienced swimmers to lead a team primarily made up of freshmen and sophomores. The team’s top swimmer this year is senior Nicole Lecoq, who qualified for the state swim meet in four events during the team’s first meet of the season Sept. 7 against Mercer Island. “It’s pretty amazing,” head coach Kris Daughters said about Lecoq’s performance. Lecoq qualified for the state meet in seven of eight events last year and hopes to qualify in all of them this year. Daughters said Lecoq is versatile enough in the pool that she should be able to reach that goal. Lecoq is one of four senior captains, and she has taken a leading role among her fellow captains. “She’s channeled her energy to being a really good team leader,” Daughters said. “She’s gained a lot of confidence in the last four years.” Another swimmer to watch is junior Elise Tinseth. “She is right in there with Nicole,” Daughters said, adding that Tinseth should qualify for the state meet in at least four events this year. Junior Caitlin Duffner is sure to be a threat as well, as is senior diver Robin Bullock.

Max Browne, Skyline sophomore quarterback, winds up to complete a firstquarter pass Sept. 11 against the Bellevue Wolverines.

Steady sophomore rallies Spartans past Wolverines 28-21 By Mason Kelley Seattle Times staff reporter Every time Max Browne steps on the field, he takes a step forward. There is something for Skyline High School’s quarterback to learn, both when he succeeds and when he falls short. Early in the Sept. 11 matchup with Bellevue in Seattle’s Memorial Stadium, Browne faced plenty of adversity. His team trailed by two touchdowns and his offense struggled to move the ball. But the sophomore stayed steady, rallying the Spartans, ranked No. 2 in Class 4A, past the Wolverines, 28-21. “He grew because he just kept fighting,” said senior teammate Kasen Williams, who caught eight passes for 94 yards and a touchdown. “Every single time something bad happened, he kept fighting.” Early on, it was vintage Bellevue football. The Wolverines, ranked No. 1 in 3A, marched right down the field on their first drive. They showed a spread offense on their first play of the game and picked up 17 yards on a screen pass. For the most part, though, it was straight ahead Wing-T running, and it worked early. Bellevue (1-1) jumped to a 140 lead after a 7-yard, first-quarter run from quarterback Kendrick Van Ackeren and a 34yard run from sophomore Ari Morales. “They’re so well coached and they run that offense so well, and I know they’re going to get better and better each week,” Skyline coach Mat Taylor said about Bellevue. “That’s a fantastic team. It was two great teams of this decade. It was unbelievable.” Skyline’s offense sputtered in

the first quarter, but picked up midway through the second as Browne led a pair of scoring drives. He continued to show impressive poise for a sophomore, finding Michael Ford on a 6-yard touchdown pass with 3:21 to play in the second quarter and Williams, the Washington recruit, on a 25-yard scoring strike with just 12 seconds left. Browne was five of six for 79 yards on the Spartans’ final drive of the first half and finished 24 of 42 for 241 yards and three touchdown passes. Skyline (1-1) scored on its first two possessions of the second half, capping a string of 28 straight points. “They came out with all their weapons, but we executed very well and it’s a big win for us,” Browne said. Heading into the second half, Taylor told his defensive players to keep reminding each other to stay disciplined against Bellevue’s offense. Van Ackeren ripped off a 40-yard touchdown run to cut Skyline’s lead to a touchdown early in the fourth quarter, but the Spartans hung on. After playing two of the state’s top 3A teams, Liberty in the season opener and Bellevue last Saturday, the Spartans take on perennial power Lake Oswego, Ore., Sept. 17. Lake Oswego is 20 and coming off a 27-14 victory against Westview. Mason Kelley: 206-464-8277 or mkelley@seattletimes.com. Comment at www.issaquahpress.com.

G OLD STAR

Soccer girls net profit Riley Dean and Jessica Freeman spent the last days of their summer vacation baking treats for a bake sale. The girls made more than $440 at the Issaquah Farmers Market Aug. 28. They plan to donate the money to Soccer Saves, an organization committed to creating healthy lifestyles for disadvantaged youth. Soccer Saves partners with global humanitarian organizations working to provide HIV/AIDS education, nutrition and gender equality and to decrease gang violence by using the power of soccer. Both Dean and Freeman play soccer for GU-13, an Eastside FC team. They know that $50 buys a Soccer Saves child admission for a year, meaning they just raised enough money to help eight players.

Organization offers grant dollars for family programs Programs to help children and families can apply for grants from the Issaquah Community Network. Any grant-funded services must be delivered within Issaquah School District boundaries. Eligible applicants must be a nonprofit organization and meet requirements outlined in the program application. Programs must apply for grants by Oct. 22. Eligible applicants must improve parenting skills and family management skills, and increase knowledge about youth depression and suicide prevention and intervention, and social bonding skills. Contact Executive Director Barbara de Michele at 3910592 or issaquahcommunitynetwork@mindspring.com to request application materials. Due to limited funding, the most appropriate grant requests range from $100 to $2,000. Recipients will be notified in November. The youth-oriented Issaquah Community Network partners with the Washington State Family Policy Council — a state-funded agency set up to support communities by empowering citizens to define local needs, identify and implement effective strategies, and review progress on goals.

The definition of the prime meridian? The number of oceans swishing around the earth? Fourth-grade teachers at Challenger Elementary School are embarking on a yearlong geography unit, teaching their students lessons

about maps, trade and culture. “They’ll look at their shirts and see where they are made,” fourthgrade teacher Kathy Stimpson said. Later in the year, the students will learn about countries around the Pacific Rim, concentrating on one country for a final project. Stimpson and the other fourthgrade teachers give in-depth lessons about Vietnam, Peru and China; different cultures and landforms; and guidance about how they can do their final projects. But first, students had to learn about the continents and oceans. Each student made a paper mache globe and painted it blue. Once the paint dries, they will glue on the continents, creating their first 3-D map of the world. Before students dipped their brushes in the blue tempera paint,

Stimpson asked if they could remember the seven continents and four oceans. Every hand in the room shot up, as students spouted off the answers: North and South America, Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia and Europe. The oceans were a cinch, with students reeling through them one after the other: Atlantic, Arctic, Indian and Pacific. Student Riley McCabe remembered her geography terms well. “Latitude is like horizontal and longitude is straight up and down,” she said. Until the geography unit, “I didn’t know there were so many countries,” she added. Donovan Bahall said he was glad to learn the location of countries all around the world. How else would he know where ani-

mals were from when he went to the zoo and read the information card, he asked. Mauricio Hidalgo learned Antarctica is a continent, even though it has the fewest people. “I thought there were six continents before, but now I know there are seven,” he said, while painting his paper mache globe. Avery Taylor said the geography lesson had fixed a misconception she had about countries and continents. “I thought Russia was a continent, but I guess it’s not,” she said. Students also learned geographical vocabulary. “I did not know there was such a thing as the prime meridian,” Matthew Seminatore said. “It’s like the equator, except in the other direction.” Three mothers volunteered during the globe-making session, ensuring that paint stayed on the table. “It was so messy,” volunteer Yvette Artman said. “But it was a fun way to learn about geography.

When I was in school, we would look at the plastic maps on the projector. We did not do any arts and crafts in the classroom, ever.” She said geography could expose children to different career options. “Maybe they want to work with maps, or maybe they want to be an airline pilot or in the Navy,” said Artman, saying her husband saw the world when he served in the U.S. Navy. Volunteer Sandy Dong said she liked the hands-on aspect of the project. “It helps to make everything more meaningful,” she said. “You’re visually making the connection.” Her daughter agreed. Olivia Dong said geography was important, “so we can learn about where we live on the earth.” Laura Geggel: 392-6434, ext. 241, or lgeggel@isspress.com. Comment at www.issaquahpress.com.

Despite a decline in credibility, the media still matters By Daniel Pickering Liberty High School

t’s all the media’s fault. It lied. Blame the media. It wasn’t even a real mosque. They didn’t tell the whole story. That news station is too liberal; it’s not trustworthy. The media blew swine flu out of proportion. The media blew the Koran burning out of proportion. The media is trying to brainwash us! Sound familiar? These have all been common reactions to modern journalism, reactions that show just how much the population takes

what we do for granted. It is really frustrating as a student journalist to see such an important establishment earn such strong dislike for its bad choices, but to never receive praise for the service expected of it. It is certainly true that news publishers and broadcasters get a lot of stigma in our post-9/11 world, and I am not saying it is undeserved. Some news stations distort the facts — telling the truth, but not the whole truth; some align themselves politically, dividing their audiences; and some are prodded in the “right” direction by the govern-

Hall Monitor Daniel Pickering Liberty High School ment, effectively becoming nothing more than propaganda machines. All that negativity and blame has started to overshadow why we

even have news media. So, why do we have news media? Or rather, what would we do without it? There would probably be no America for starters. The print press was a cornerstone of civilization at that point, and it helped to rouse the colonies to war more effectively than any word-ofmouth could; the Watergate scandal might never have been exposed to the public if it weren’t for the investigative efforts of Bob Bernstein and Carl Woodward for The Washington Post; and relief efforts would never happen. The

areas affected by the 2005 tsunami, Hurricane Katrina and last year’s earthquake in Haiti would never have received the aid that they did if it wasn’t for media coverage. So, the next time a news outlet makes a mistake, and every blogger on the Internet pounces on it, take it at face value. Look for a story that will have some positive impact instead, because it is high time that journalism is praised for what it has accomplished for a change, rather than shamed for the damage it has done.

Park unveils new exhibit — public art By Elizabeth DeVos Issaquah Press intern

ougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park is not only home to species of wildlife and 36 miles of trails; it is home to 17 outdoor sculptures which will call the park home until next month. The “Overgrowth and Understory” outdoor sculpture exhibition at Cougar Mountain opened earlier this summer, and is the first time the park has had an exhibit of contemporary art. “Seattle City Parks liked the outdoor exhibit last year, at Carkeek Park, because it encouraged walking,” said David Francis, vice president of the Center on Contemporary Art. The exhibit at Cougar Mountain is installed at two different trailheads. By having it located at the Sky Country and Anti-Aircraft trailheads people can make a day out of checking it out. Art pieces are placed around the perimeter of fields at both locations. “By walking between the sculptures, you get exercise,” Francis said. “You look at the art, then walk through the woods and you get to reflect on what sculptures you saw. You may see a beaver dam and think, ‘I just saw something that looked like that.’ It gives you a chance to look at the art and think about nature.” The pieces are also weathered due to the outdoor elements; some pieces are specific to their locations in the park. Unlike with indoor exhibits, outdoor exhibits usually have fewer

the thought of it. It’s a real metaphor to use,” she said. “Life keeps going on and on. In our new art center, we keep pushing on forward. It’s a real fun piece to have accepted into the exhibition.” Many of the artists had only designed a sketch of their piece before applying for the exhibition. Once artists were notified that they would be able to participate, they began constructing their pieces. With only two weeks from the time they found out they were accepted to the installment date, many artists worked long hours to get done on time. “Some said, ‘Whether I get into the show or not, I want to do this,’” Francis said.

Japan honors founding member of The Ventures By Ari Cetron Issaquah Press reporter Don Wilson was just trying to stop all the heavy lifting. In 1958, he and friend Bob Bogle were working construction and were getting tired of the manual labor. The pair went to a pawn shop in Tacoma and bought a pair of beat-up guitars, marking the beginning of surf-rock band The Ventures. Within 16 months, their song “Walk, Don’t Run” had become the No. 2 hit in the country. After a career spanning decades, the band was honored this summer by Japan with the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Rosette. “This award is from the emperor of Japan. I mean, how big can you be?” Wilson, of Sammamish, asked. The award is presented in the name of the Emperor of Japan as recognition of excellence in a host of different fields. The Ventures were honored for their contributions to Japanese music and culture and for their work in promoting relations between Japan and the United States. This marks the first time the award has been given to a non-Japanese popular music group, and also the first time it has been awarded to all members of a

group, according to Japanese consulate officials. Wilson said he has yet to process all of the information about the award, which was presented during a ceremony at the Japanese consulate in Seattle. “There are rules about where you can wear it,” he said. The Ventures, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008 and known for songs including the theme to television’s “Hawaii 5-0,” first toured Japan in 1962. During the tour, Wilson said they opened for Bobby V. and Jo Ann Campbell, who had a movie about the Twist out at the time. “The first time we were there, nobody had heard of us — rock ‘n’ roll was almost unheard of,” Wilson said. Their instrumental music caught on, and when The Ventures came back in

1964, they were greeted by thousands of screaming fans at the airport, he said. “When we came over, we just blew everybody out of the water,” he said. The band sought to capitalize on their popularity and composed about 30 songs just for the Japanese market. In some cases, their instrumental version would be a hit, and then a Japanese singer would add vocal tracks to the song. Often, that version would also top the charts, Wilson said. They’ve been touring the island nation ever since and have had 20 No.1 songs there. The band still draws between 3,000 and 5,000 people to its shows, and last year played 47 dates there, Wilson said. The tour included a kabuki theater in Kyoto — the first time a rock group had been permitted to play the venue. This year’s tour is set for about 45 shows, Wilson said. It includes a Nov. 13 stop at the Snoqualmie Casino Ballroom. The band is still going strong on this side of the Pacific, as well. Later this year, “Hawaii 5-0” will return to television, said Leonard Haggarty, of the band’s record label. The theme will once again be the iconic song by The Ventures.

210-Legal Notices Maple Valley, WA 98038 The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency (the Agency) is seeking comments on a revised draft Order of Approval for Notice of Construction (NOC) Application No. 10052 for Cedar Grove Composting, Inc. (Cedar Grove). A comment period for an original draft order of approval was held from April 29 to June 15, 2010 and a public hearing to accept comments was held June 3, 2010. Based on comments received during that original public comment process, the Agency is proposing additional revisions to the draft order of approval. These additional revisions are sufficiently different from the original proposal to warrant a new public comment period and public hearing on this proposal. The proposed additional revisions to the draft order of approval include the following: (1) New requirement for continuous velocity pressure, static pressure, and temperature monitoring on the gas stream inlet to each biofilter onsite (2) Modify a condition to increase the frequency of the third party biofilter evaluations from semi-annually to quarterly

Additionally, the proposed action incorporates ongoing compliance requirements, primarily monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting, which were established through a Settlement Agreement between Cedar Grove and the Agency regarding Civil Penalty No. 08-064. The Settlement Agreement included a provision that Cedar Grove would submit an NOC application requesting the conditions of the orders of approval previously listed and the Settlement Agreement be incorporated into a new order of approval. This revised draft order is a result of that Settlement Agreement provision and reflects responses to comments received from the public.
