Salmon Days is more than fishy fun By Matt Bott Issaquah Chamber of Commerce After 44 years, most people around the Puget Sound area have an awareness of the Salmon Days Festival. For some out-of-towners, it’s “that arts and crafts festival with the huge salmon in that beautiful Eastside community.” To others it’s “the last big not-to-miss festival of the year.” To those who live in Issaquah, however, the festival is so much more. To most locals, it’s a yearly tradition spanning generations, a time for the community — businesses, nonprofit organizations, city leaders, citizens, young and old alike — to come together for a weekend of community pride and community showcasing. Some businesses report they have their busiest two days of the year. The two days of the festival are different than any of the other 363 for Issaquah. People seem to be everywhere in town — to explore, enjoy and discover. There are different traffic patterns, different activities, live music and more. But did you know the festival is good for the entire community’s health and sustainability? With more than 150,000 annual attendees, and having won numerous international awards, our fish-friendly festival has clearly put Issaquah on the map. The festival brings in millions of dollars of economic impact, substantial tax revenues and community exposure to potential new residents, new businesses and new visitors. People come from all over the

region to Salmon Days and many shop in our stores, eat in our restaurants, stay in our hotels, etc. What’s more, many return. Some even move here. The Issaquah Chamber of Commerce continues to use the festival to help tell the story of what a great community we have. Salmon Days is also one of the major fundraisers and exposure for more than 70 local/regional civic, service, charitable and nonprofit organizations that use the crowd access and visibility to build awareness for their cause. Thanks to generous sponsors and partnerships with the city, these organizations receive this exposure at a substantial discount. This will be Salmon Days’ 45th consecutive year of helping promote Issaquah and showcase community pride. Join in to the Coho Mojo fun Oct. 4 and 5.

Golf tourney to kick off annual festival

Salmon Days 2014 will introduce a competitive golf tournament to kick off the festival. The Salmon Days Golf Classic is at The Golf Club at Newcastle, Coal Creek Course, at 12:30 p.m. Sept. 22. Registration begins at 10:30 a.m. Organizers are trying to make a festive experience for everyone in attendance, so entrance to the event gets you lunch, dinner, drinks, contests and a lot more.

Each team even gets an iPad for use during its round that displays the scores live of all of the other teams furthering the competitiveness of the tournament. The event is followed by SalmonChanted Evening, the celebration dinner for festival Spawnsors. All players will be invited to stick around for the festivities. Learn more about the tournament at www.salmondaysgolf.com.

LIFE IS FAIR IN PUYALLUP By Peter Clark pclark@isspress.com Fried food, animal smells, concert music and carnival rides — yep, the Washington State Fair has returned. Until Sept. 21, you can find the best livestock, agriculture, horticulture and crafts the state has to offer in Puyallup. This year’s fair packs a whopping punch with a slew of high-profile music acts and the usual, if no less impressive, bunch of Washingtonian achievements. Walking in the gate, you might feel overwhelmed at the sheer number of things to do in the fairgrounds. Should you immediately head over and dive into a basket of fried butter? Head over to the livestock barn and hear which rooster crows the loudest? Visit one of the many crafts buildings and spot all the nuance and detail in the dollhouses? These are big decisions that a hardy fairgoer will have to make. Rest assured that if you get your fill of one type of entertainment, plenty more is right around the corner for the whole family. The livestock and agriculture staples remain the main draw of the 2014 state fair. Walking through the barns, you can see the prize-winning animals and learn how they earned their ribbons from those who raised them. Cattle, horses, rabbits, roosters and more fill the air with their sounds and smells. Then, be sure to check out the (air-conditioned) agriculture

Issaquah woman receives new hip, warm welcome back from Overlake By Peter Clark pclark@isspress.com One Issaquah woman is now taking things in stride with help from Overlake Medical Center. Anna Kaminska was in a car crash 21 years ago in her native country of Poland. The wreck shattered her hip joint and doctors fused her femur with her pelvis, greatly reducing her mobility at age 12. Over time, excessive reliance on joints above and below her non-existent hip, as well as her inability to sit or lie comfortably, gave Kaminska considerable pain. When she moved to Issaquah three years ago, the 33-year-old By Peter Clark began looking for an answer. Members of the Overlake Medical Center’s hip replacement team welcome After two recommendations to back Anna Kaminska, seven months after doctors gave her a new hip joint in Overlake Medical Center’s Dr. a challenging procedure. James Bruckner, a joint replace-

ment and months of physical therapy, she has found a “miracle.” “Sitting is really nice,” Kaminska said, smiling. “I didn’t realize what I had lost.” Seven months after the operation, she met again with lead surgeon Bruckner and the team that performed the procedure. A Sept. 3 reunion was emotional as they welcomed Kaminska back to the physical therapy center and watched her demonstrate the progress she has made and how her muscles have gradually strengthened with daily exercise. Bruckner talked about he and fellow surgeon Dr. John Clark making the decision to treat Kaminska. Others told of the aftermath of the surgery. “The first time she sat, she just started crying,” physical thera-

pist Mary Ann Welch said. “She just said, ‘I’m so happy.’” The original operation of fusing the two bones is hardly used at all these days. “Today, it’s very uncommon,” Bruckner said. “There are almost no circumstances in which we would do that. We will do anything we can short of a hip fusion.” He said a main reason modern medicine doesn’t perform the procedure on women is that it complicates the possibility of giving birth. Bruckner was delighted that Kaminska could have a son, now 3 years old. He said the lack of an existing ball and socket joint made the procedure all the more difficult, See NEW

Woodwork, fiber arts, collectibles and decorating all take center stage in intriguing displays as hidden craftsmen and women unveil their skills for fairgoers. If you get your fill of crafts and livestock, but remain hungry for something else, you can find relief in the expected smorgasbord of food carts. The usual cast of characters (krusty pups, elephant ears, brats) makes its appearance to the delight of many. Don’t be afraid to also try some of the more exotic fare like the authentic piroshky cart and, yes, fried butter. Whether you’d like to relax in one of the many beer gardens, drinking delicious Red Hook Longhammer IPA, or take a stroll along the Midway, you’re sure to spot another attraction worth your time. The carnival

encourages the community to learn more about local hazards, and prepare with plans and supplies. Be prepared for that occasional winter storm, power outage and anything else unexpected. In addition, the Issaquah Citizen Corps is taking signups now for its fall Community Emergency Response Team class. The nine-week course is from 6:30-9:30 p.m. Thursdays starting Oct. 2. There will be a hands-on disaster drill Nov. 15. The $35 class fee covers course materials and includes a basic Emergency Backpack Kit. The Issaquah Citizen Corps is also offering a basic first aid, CPR and AED class from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sept. 20. The course is $30 and includes training text material and a two-year certification. games provide many a chance to impress a date and the rides loom large, with three roller coasters to test your mettle. For a more leisurely experience, you can ride a gondola soaring above the event and get an bird’s eye view of the action. After you’ve seen the best raised animals, the best crafted art and the best fried fixin’s, you may want to make your way to the enormous exhibition hall. There, hundreds of vendors want to show you the latest in massage technology, the hippest in hair dye and décor galore. Look to the stadium for this year’s concert series that boasts Toby Keith, Chicago, REO Speedwagon, ventriloquist comedian Jeff Dunham and more.

muscles around her new hip joint. “It’s going to take two years,” he said. “She’ll continue to get stronger and stronger.” In the meantime, he said she has the perfect attitude. “The surgery’s the easy part, because the patient just sleeps during it,” Kaminska said, talking to the medical staff present. “You did an excellent job and I will keep doing all the work. I work hard because I owe you.” In the beginning, she

had physical therapy three times a week, and then once a week and now she does the exercises herself. “Miracles do happen,” she said. “But they need the right people, the right place, the right time, patience and a lot of hard work.” Now that her recovery is well on its way, Kaminska looks forward to visiting her mother and having her witness the change brought by Overlake Medical Center. “Finally, she’ll see me stride,” Kaminska said.

Hips and knees are replaceable because time spent missing out on life isn’t. What’s the one thing people who have had joint-replacement surgery say? “I wish I’d done it sooner.” That’s because it didn’t take long to get back to doing things they’d given up due to the pain. If you’ve put part of your life on hold, then come to a free surgeon-led seminar at Swedish — where our surgeons do literally thousands of jointreplacement surgeries every year. Swedish surgeons were also the first in this area to perform MAKOplasty®, robotic-assisted surgery for partial knee joint replacement. Register now.

he first fish have been sighted at the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery and it’s that time of year again — time to step up to help the amazing salmon that are returning home and the crowds of people that will follow them. The hatchery, with thousands of visitors every year, is the most visited of the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife’s hatcheries. There are many ways to do right by the salmon and visitors: 4Volunteer at the hatchery to lead Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery tours and be guides for the thousands of school children, local residents and people from all over the state who come to see this annual miracle. You get a hatchery tour, learn about salmon habitat and the salmon lifecycle, and how the fish return every year to where they came from, and then you get to pass it on. How cool is that? Learn more about FISH at www.issaquahfish. org or call 392-1118. 4Volunteer at the FISHop, the recently opened annual gift shop at the hatchery, where people can stock up on fun, fishy items. 4Put on waders and volunteer to help with the spawning that is done at the hatchery. 4Spruce up your yard and public places, so they look great for visitors coming to see the fish or the more than 150,000 attendees of the 45th annual Salmon Days Festival on Oct. 4-5. 4And finally, even though the volunteer sign-up dinner has passed, you can volunteer to do all kinds of jobs for the festival that celebrates the salmon’s return. Help with the Grande Parade; answer questions at information booths; be a booth Ohfishal, assistant or sitter; help set up stages for the great live entertainment; put up signs and balloons; help sell Salmon Days merchandise; be a festival “runner”; assist people with and help direct them to parking; and clean up during and after the festival. You’ll still even get one of those coveted volunteer T-shirts, although you’ll have to stop by the Festivals Office to pick it up. All ages are needed. You must be 12 or older, or be accompanied by a parent if you’re younger than 12. Apply at www.salmondays.org/volunteers.html or call 392-0661. The salmon have traveled for years and untold miles to return home for their last call. Help them and the public by giving a few hours of your time. You won’t be sorry you did!

Only a tourist could be this disrespectful

nce again, a perfectly good vacation moment was ruined by all of the dolts around me. Nothing sets my blood a boilin’ more than tourists who can’t stop being tourists for one darn second to appreciate what’s before them. Last month, my wife and I visited my sister outside Baltimore. The last day of the trip, we trekked into Philadelphia to take in a few sites. Top on my list was the Liberty Bell, one of the most iconic artifacts from our history that is uniquely American. It’s housed these days in a long building at the end of a string of displays detailing every tidbit of its history. For instance, did you know it was last rung in 1846 in honor of George Washington’s birthday, before a crack in it became so egregious that it rendered it silent? With a long line that wrapped around one side of the building, it nearly took us an hour to get to the bell itself. Finally, behind a narrow rope barrier, in all its 2,000-pound glory, was the Liberty Bell. And here’s what hacked me off — every single tourist ahead of me quickly took a photo in front of it and left. Imagine traveling halfway around the world to Issaquah, only to walk down the street to such landmarks as the Triple XXX Rootbeer Drive-in or the salmon hatchery, and saying, “Hmm. Interesting.” Then, leave without going inside or approaching either. Blaarhg! The same thing happened when we visited the Lincoln Memorial

a couple of years ago. In both instances, nobody, and that’s not hyperbole, stopped at either the Lincoln Memorial to glance up at Lincoln in all his David magnificence Hayes or in Liberty Press reporter Bell Center to actually pause before the bell and absorb its historical significance. For gosh sakes — you can get close enough to walk all the way around the bell and touch it. I was just too afraid to, fearing it would in some way be sacrilegious. It’s no wonder the latest generation of Millennials seem to have no appreciation of history. They don’t! Quick! Take a selfie. Post it to Facebook. On to the next landmark! Now that I recall, this phenomenon occurred about a decade ago when I visited the USS Arizona Memorial in Hawaii. A most solemn tribute to the 1,102 Sailors and 1,177 Marines killed during the attack on Pearl Harbor demands the utmost respect from visitors. When a group of tourists started horsing around, I wanted to pound them each into their own early graves. So, for the sake of my blood pressure, when you and yours next visit something of historical importance, help those around you appreciate the moment. They call them once-in-a-lifetime moments for a reason. Make ’em count.

“The Marines and my mother both taught me to do what needed to be done and to do it well the first time.” — Ron Musgrave

Mom vs. the Marines

Vietnam veteran and former Marine

Vietnam veteran credits his mother for actions that helped him earn a Bronze Star By Dan Aznoff da@dajournalist.com he same determination Ron Musgrave learned as a U.S. Marine that led to a Bronze Star for his actions in Vietnam are evident in the business he has nurtured for more than 45 years. Musgrave was barely old enough to buy a drink in the States when his outfit was sent to Hill 689 in June 1967. The young Marine had been trained to fire a 3.5-inch bazooka as part of a weapons platoon. The bazooka he carried was an updated version of the 2.5 bazooka used against German Panzers tanks during World War II. Musgrave was often ordered to use the antitank rocket launcher to flush enemy snipers out of the spider holes they had dug into the ground of the moist tropical jungle. Spider holes, Musgrave said, were trap doors above holes just big enough for an enemy soldier to hide. The doors opened just enough to allow a sniper to fire an automatic weapon before the door slammed shut. “The North Vietnamese soldiers were smart fighters. They did not kill the first few soldiers assigned to lead search-and-destroy missions. They only shot them in the leg,” Musgrave recalled. “They knew that additional soldiers would be sent up to rescue the wounded soldiers. That’s when they would open up on the whole platoon.” The tactic proved successful for the enemy in the steamy jungles of Vietnam. Musgrave said 30 of the 40 Americans on his patrol one day did not return, including the young lieutenant who had been in command.

After Musgrave was pulled to safety, he realized the bullet only grazed his side, penetrating his canteen. “It was only water,” he said, “so they sent me back to the front of my squad with my bazooka and wet pants.” When he returned to his position, Musgrave found the soldier lying next to him had been shot in the head and killed. “That would have been me if I had not been pulled away to the medic station,” he said. Before he had time to settle back into his bunker, Musgrave was ordered to move up so he could determine the distance and trajectory he would need to knock out the spider hole. His first shot sailed over the enemy position and landed in a gulley beyond the target. His second shot took out the sniper. Musgrave was firing phosphorescent shells. The enemy soldier came out of his hole engulfed in flames. “He jumped out of that hole on fire like he had springs on his feet,” Musgrave remembered. “His arms were waving as he ran through the dense vegetation. He looked like a human torch.” Musgrave’s tour of duty ended few months after the incident on Hill 689. He was reassigned to Beaufort, S.C., where he was awarded a Bronze Star with full military honors in front of the entire camp. The Akron, Ohio, native was originally nominated for a Silver Star, but Musgrave said the honor was changed to Bronze because he had not actually been injured during the battle. “That was OK with me,” he said with a smile.

A bazooka and wet pants Lying on the ground with gunfire all around him, Musgrave said he could feel one of the enemy bullets as it glanced past his face and along the side of his body. Almost immediately he felt the leg of his pants become wet and he screamed out for a medic. “I’ve been hit,” he called out.

From fighting to cleaning After being discharged in 1968, Musgrave returned to Seattle, where he had lived with his father for several years before being drafted. (He began his enlistment with the Marines in January 1965 and was shipped out five months after completing his basic training at Camp Pendleton in California.)

The returning veteran had cleaned carpets for DA Burns in Seattle before being called to serve his country, so he made the decision to launch his own carpet-cleaning business from the backseat of his ’66 Mustang. His first customers were homeowners in the Normandy Park area near Burien. In 1972, Musgrave said he purchased the first high-powered truckmounted steam cleaning system in the Northwest. Four decades later, Revive Carpet & Upholstery Cleaners runs multiple trucks with crews that clean carpets, upholstery and air ducts for residential and commercial clients in King County. Musgrave laughs when he tries to count his numerous ties to the community. The Revive office is in unincorporated King

County, has a Fall City telephone number and an Issaquah mailing address. He belongs to a networking organization that meets in Sammamish. Many Revive employees have been with Musgrave for several years. His longest tenured employee is his stepson, who has been cleaning carpets alongside the founder of the company for 22 years. Over the years, the family business moved to his first home, in Bellevue, and eventually to acreage south of Interstate 90 near Preston. The garage attached to Musgrave’s office is filled with accessories for his carpet-cleaning business. The walls of his workspace are covered with memorabilia of his time in the military. “The Marines and my mother both taught me to do what needed to be done and to do it well the first time,” Musgrave said, adding that he is proud of the fact that more than 85 percent of his business comes from repeat customers.

There is a certain mystique surrounding federal air marshals. Not much is known about these men and women who patrol the skies, relying on extensive training to keep the civil aviation system safe from attacks on airports, passengers and crews. They work independently, travel extensively, possess impressive skills with handguns and, most importantly, blend in with the flying masses. That man sitting next to you in seat 4B, reading the in-flight magazine, could be one of them, but you’d never know. Issaquah author Madison Doherty hopes questions about and intrigue surrounding the profession will entice readers to pick up her new book, “When The Sky Was Protected.” The story follows seasoned federal air marshal Grace Bryant as she enters the twilight of her career, transitioning from the skies to a desk job. After more than a decade of routine trips with little action, on Bryant’s very last flight, terrorists highjack the aircraft. It’s then up to her to save the passengers, get back to land safely and figure out the enemy’s motive. The book is fiction, and Bryant isn’t real, but she is based on a Doherty friend who spent 20 years as an air marshal. “I think we can only imagine the things she’s seen and done, and we’ll probably never know,” Doherty said. Doherty describes the book as a political thriller, modeled after some of her favorite authors, including John Grisham and David Baldacci. The difference is her book features a female protagonist, something Doherty said the genre lacks. That sentiment dates back to her grandmother, who always told her there was nothing a woman couldn’t do. “It just makes sense that why can’t there be this badass federal agent superhero that’s a woman?” Doherty asked. “So what she’s a woman?” Doherty graduated from Issaquah High School in

She’s putting that degree to use, drawing from knowledge she gained in classes about Eastern European history. One of the book’s conflicts focuses on the very relevant tensions between Israel and Palestine, she said. “The crazy thing about this book is I wrote it four years ago. I set it in 2008, but it’s more relevant today than it is when I wrote it,” she said. People who enjoy political thrillers or politics will enjoy her book, Doherty said. Readers who want to see strong female characters will also find value in it. Doherty, who still lives in the High Point neighborhood she grew up in, submitted the work to a few literary agents before deciding to go the ever more popular selfpublishing route. Her work can be found on Amazon. com, where she’s already received several positive reviews. Doherty released the first book in July, but she is by no means done with the Grace Bryant character. The Issaquah author has already finished a second book, and envisions publishing up to six more in the series. “In my mind, I have an arc for the character,” she said. “I know where she’s going to end up.”

joy and eventually she was able to leave the corporate world to focus on raising her children. She spent most of her life in Issaquah, where she resided for more than 35 years. She actively volunteered in the Issaquah School District for more than 25 years, where all five of her children attended Issaquah Valley Elementary, Issaquah Middle and Issaquah High schools. Pam had been a member of Covenant Presbyterian Church in Issaquah, since 1984, where she developed many close friendships, and considered her CPC family as a second family.

She had the voice of an angel and participated in her church choir for many years. Her children were her life and the majority of her spare time was spent driving them to and from their many different sports and activities, cheering them on from the sidelines, organizing events as the PTA president or Team Mom, and encouraging them to follow their dreams. She was preceded in death by her late husband Robert James Siems II in

1989, and her daughter Kyla Maree Siems in 1981.

SMASH AND GRAB

Spartans win the Coal Bucket in 48-21 trouncing of Eagles

Skyline High School junior quarterback

By Neil Pierson npierson@ sammamishreview.com If there were any doubts about the Skyline Spartans’ determination to start the 2014 season on the right foot, those concerns were shattered on the first play from scrimmage against the Issaquah Eagles. Quarterback Blake Gregory threw a short pass to running back Rashaad Boddie, who shed a couple of tacklers and raced down the left sideline for an 81yard touchdown. Skyline had a 7-0 lead after only 19 seconds, and it set the tone for what turned into a dominating, 48-21 victory for the Spartans in a Class 4A KingCo Conference football opener Sept. 5 at Issaquah High School’s Gary Moore Field. Gregory and Boddie, both juniors, led the way as Skyline won its 10th straight meeting with Issaquah and earned the Coal Bucket rivalry trophy. “Straight from the get-go, first play of the game, we opened up and we scored,” Gregory said. “We kept moving from there. Everyone bought in at that point.” Gregory, making his debut as the starting quarterback, completed 14 of 19 throws for 406 yards and four touchdowns, and also scored a rushing TD. Boddie looked every bit the feature back of the future for the Spartans, carrying 10 times for 65 yards and two TDs while catching five passes for 159 yards and two scores. The result was all but cemented at halftime as Boddie found the end zone four times, and Skyline’s lead grew to 34-7. “There was a lot of excitement in the locker

After Skyline kicker Kevin McGrane missed a 26-yard field goal, Issaquah went on a 10-play, 80-yard march to tie the score in the first quarter. Junior quarterback Cam Humphrey, also making his first start, dissected the Spartans with a series of short passes, and culminated the drive with a 29-yard strike down the middle to Ashton Sorrento. But it was all Skyline after that. Skyline went ahead 14-7 as Boddie hauled in anoth-

allowed Boddie to plow through for a 1-yard TD on fourth-and-goal, putting Skyline up 28-7. Derek Loville’s 49-yard reception set up a 2-yard keeper from Gregory for the final score of the first half. Gregory was pleased with the play of his offensive line. “The front, they’re the key part of this offense, and they did it all tonight,” he said. “Back there in the pocket, I had tons of time. It was awesome.” Boddie appears to be fully healthy after a high ankle sprain slowed him last season, and could be poised for a breakout season. “I’ve just been through a lot of training with certain coaches and certain skill players, going out and catching balls for them,” he said of his preparation.

And after Issaquah came up inches short of a first down on a fake punt, the Spartans were back in the end zone three plays later on a 16-yard Boddie run, nosing their lead to

21-7 after one quarter. The Spartans’ defense stiffened after that, with linebacker PJ Cox and defensive end Cameron Saffle leading the attack against Humphrey. Humphrey finished the night 22-of-31 passing for

235 yards and two TDs, but wasn’t given time to throw the ball deep. And running back Mikey Giannopulos was held in check, managing 68 yards on 21 carries. Skyline receiver Bradley Kim made a leaping catch for 22 yards to convert a fourth-and-11 situation for his team midway through the second period. That

Each team found the end zone twice in the second half as Skyline’s Logan Wanamker and Elijah Nichols traded scores with Issaquah’s Bryce Hughes and Luke Watanabe. The Eagles return to action Sept. 12 at top-ranked Bothell, while the Spartans make their home debut against Newport. Both games start at 7 p.m.

in need and handcrafted friendship bracelets for the Girl Scout World Center Sangam in Pune, India. Girl Scout Sammamish Day Camp has been a tradition for the past eight years and is open to any girl in the Issaquah/Sammamish area. “Every summer, we offer a weeklong Girl Scout day camp that has a diverse range of themes and activities,” said Helen Christian, a day camp core team member. “Our day camp gives girls, kindergarten through high school, time to lead, explore and learn things they do not do the rest of the year.

Teenagers in Issaquah and Sammamish will wear special T-shirts to school Sept. 10 as part of National Suicide Prevention Day efforts. Nick Pringle, a youth pastor at Pine Lake Covenant Church, is spearheading local awareness efforts. He said the last two years have been the hardest of his eight-year ministry career, with many area teens committing suicide. Five teens in Issaquah, Sammamish and Snoqualmie took their own lives during the past school year. And 2013 was considered the most violent year for teen suicides in King County in the past five years, with the number rising from three to 11. Students attending youth groups at five area churches will wear white-and-yellow shirts with the phrase “You Matter” emblazoned on the front. The participating groups are Faith United Methodist Church in Issaquah, and four Sammamish churches – Mary, Queen of Peace Catholic Church, Pine Lake Covenant Church, Sammamish Hills Lutheran Church and Sammamish Presbyterian Church. Amy Wisegarver, a student at Eastlake High School, produced a video about the “You Matter” campaign. See it at http:// youtu.be/6e0tvyB3FRs.
