Meet the heat on the beat during National Night Out By Peter Clark pclark@isspress.com

IF YOU GO

The Issaquah Police Department will really work the community beat Aug. 5. In the city’s sixth celebration of National Night Out, officers from the department will join thousands of communities nationwide in reaching out to residents to create a stronger bond between the department and the people it serves. “We’re going to continue with our previous program and let the community have an opportunity to chat with our officers,” Police Chief Scott Behrbaum said. “I think it’s an opportunity to engage with that communitypolicing model that we have. It’s an extension of how we approach our policing focus in Issaquah.” Behrbaum said the goal of National Night Out is to promote awareness of crime and drug prevention and provide support for local anti-crime efforts. He said it also gives officers a connection to residents, helping with outreach and building a relationship. Free food, giveaways, music and tips on topics such as emer-

Costco asks to build up to 10-story buildings By Peter Clark pclark@isspress.com In exchange for open space, Costco is aiming for the sky. Company leaders want to construct possibly three more buildings on the campus, with anywhere from three to 10 stories each. “They are looking to expand their corporate facilities,” city Public Works Engineering Director Sheldon Lynne said. “They currently have surface parking lots that they are wanting to place buildings on.” After long negotiations with the city, a Costco draft development agreement has entered the City Council process. The potential agreement would replace the original Pickering Place Master Site Plan, which brought the global headquarters to Issaquah in 1987. The old agreement contains building height restrictions and commercial square footage allowances that fall below those allowed in the Central Issaquah Plan, according to the City Council agenda bill. Costco has bigger ideas. If approved, the development agreement would ensure Costco could grow its corporate office over the next 30 years. The proposed buildings could add up to an additional 1.5 million square

feet of commercial development to the property. The negotiations for further development of Costco’s 47 acres might require the business providing the city with open space. “The zoning is complex,” Lynne said. “If you want to go higher, you have to pay a density bonus. If you want to go higher than four stories, you have to pay the city some money or provide open space.” Though no definite plans were submitted for the sake of the development agreement, Costco did request the ability to build up to the maximum 125 feet. “This is as high as the code allows,” Lynne said. “They’re asking for the flexibility to go that high.” In the preliminary design, Costco planned to create a connected system of open space and parks in the center of the parcel and on the eastern edge, according to the draft development agreement. Additionally, Costco would partner with Issaquah in the street improvements currently underway in the north of the city. “This is tied into the suite of improvements of the north local improvement district,” Lynne said.

NOT A YOUNG MAN’S GAME Senior baseball league provides an outlet for veteran athletes

By Neil Pierson npierson@sammamishreview.com Dick Fitzgerald came awfully close to playing big-league baseball, and more than 50 years after he stopped playing professionally, he’s still finding ways to connect with the game he loves. Fitzgerald, a seven-year resident of Issaquah, grew up in Philadelphia. He signed a pro contract with the Baltimore Orioles and — sandwiched in between a stint with the U.S. Army — managed to work his way to the upper levels of the minor leagues. In 1960, he

May Valley Road traffic will get worse before it gets better By Peter Clark pclark@isspress.com Southeast May Valley Road has been down to only one lane near the 22500 block for months, and it may stay like that for a while. A March downpour led to a landslide and damaged the road, causing pavement to crack and settle, according to the King County Department of Transportation website. For safety reasons, the county closed the road and installed a temporary signal to shift traffic.

“This was kind of an act of God,” King County road engineer Rick Brater said. “After the prolonged rains we got last winter, we start to see these slides happen. We have a lot of roads that are old, and it’s in these areas where we have found unsteady ground.” He said lack of county maintenance or faulty barriers were not responsible for the pavement damage. “It was the result of heavy rainwater and induced by groundwater,” Brater said. “It was not triggered by the road service.”

King County designates Southeast May Valley Road as a Tier 1 road and a “lifeline route,” leading to prioritize a repair project. The county’s website said work would include construction of a stabilizing wall, pavement restoration, guardrail replacement and a telephone pole relocation. That work has not yet started. “We’re looking to begin construction in early 2015,” Brater said. He said the project would take See ROAD, Page A3

Seattle task force seeks Summertime Heat Robber

LE FRE CT E UR E

The Seattle Safe Streets Task Force now believes the Summertime Heat Robber may be responsible for three robberies in Issaquah: at about 10:45 a.m. Feb. 22, at about 12:15 p.m. June 25 and at about 2 p.m. July 11. All three robberies were of the KeyBank, 405 N.W. Gilman Blvd. Further investigation led the task force to revise its consideration of a connection between the subject and the June 21 Des Moines robbery, while identifying

two other robberies as possibly connected, according to a news release from the FBI. The subject hit the same bank three times in the past six months but at different times in the middle of the day. Witnesses describe the robber as a white male, between 5 feet 8 inches and 5 feet 10 inches tall, with thin, dark hair. During each See ROBBER, Page A3

Firefighters work to prevent people texting while driving The International Association of Eastside Fire Fighters recently launched the public safety campaign #JustifyIt, which asks, “Can you justify the next text message from your driver’s seat?” #JustifyIt uses firefighters’ first-hand experience with texting and driving disasters to educate the community and keep the public safe from these violent accidents. More than 1,000 people are injured every day due to texting while driving. Distracted drivers cause 3,000 deaths each year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Texting while driving a vehicle has now replaced drinking while driving as the leading cause of accidents and deaths of teenage drivers. Texting while driving has the same effect as driving after having drank four beers, according to the Allstate Foundation. In addition, 47 percent of adults now admit that they text while driving. Eastside Fire Fighters Local #2878 encourages the community to get involved in the #JustifyIt campaign through social media, and by talking to your children and loved ones about the dangers of texting and driving. They offer the following

tips: 4Never use your phone while driving. 4Put your phone somewhere you can’t see it. Out of sight, out of mind. 4Silence your phone while driving. If you can’t hear notifications, you are less likely to check them. 4Designate a texter. Ask a friend to read and reply to your texts while you’re driving. 4Pull over or wait until parked to check or send messages. Local #2878 urges everyone to be safe on the roads and avoid distractions while driving. Learn more on the #JustifyIt campaign website: http://justifyit.org.

County has world’s highest survival rate for cardiac arrest Someone who has a cardiac arrest in King County has a greater chance of survival than anyone else in the world, according the latest analysis by county officials. The survival rate for cardiac arrest in King County hit an all-time high of 62 percent in 2013. By comparison, the cardiac survival rates in New York City, Chicago and other urban areas have been recorded in the single digits. “People are alive today in King County who would not have survived in most other places in the country,” King County Executive Dow Constantine said in a news release. “Our system delivers rapid, high-quality critical care wherever you are.” King County’s success in saving lives is based in a coordinated, regional system where everyone — dispatchers, first respond-

ers, fire departments, law enforcement, paramedics, urgent care centers and others — is guided by consistent medical direction and evidence-based practice. The cardiac survival rate in King County has dramatically risen over the past decade or so, from an above-average 27 percent in 2002 to 62 percent in 2013. Strategies that have contributed to the rise include: 4Adoption of high-performance CPR method by emergency medical technicians to maximize oxygen circulation and increase survival chances. 4Adoption of telecommunicator CPR, whereby 911 emergency personnel provide instant CPR instructions by phone. 4Increasing public availability of automated external defibrillators,

including more than 100 in King County facilities, and placement of them in many law enforcement vehicles, including with King County sheriff’s deputies. 4High rates of CPR training for local residents. 4A regional paramedic training program, funded by charitable contributions, that exceeds national standards for certification. Officials also point to the success of the county’s EMS/Medic One System. Introduced in Seattle in 1970, the Medic One program was one of the first in the nation to provide paramedic services; the program spread to all of King County in 1973. The EMS/Medic One program has become a model nationwide for delivery of lifesaving first-responder services. Learn more at www. kingcounty.gov/health/ems.

79-year-old is a member of the Silver Foxes, a 55-andolder team that plays in the Everest Division of the Puget Sound Senior Baseball League. What has kept him going all these years? “I’m a disaster on the golf course,” he said, referring to the sport he said his wife would prefer him to take up. In reality, Fitzgerald was a solid, if unspectacular left-handed pitcher during his glory days, winning 22 games in six seasons in the minors. “I decided to quit before they asked me to,” he said. “I was a mediocre TripleA pitcher. Maybe with the 16 teams they had in the majors then, I could’ve made it.” In 1989, he saw a newspaper advertisement for the Puget Sound Senior Baseball League, which was forming teams for its inaugural season. He went to a tryout session at Lower Woodland Park in Seattle, and the rest is history. His time with the league has spawned connections to other playing opportunities. In 2005, he went on a monthlong world tour with a traveling team, and in October 2012, he pitched a complete game as his team, the San Diego Padres, clinched the Men’s Senior Baseball League 70-andover World Series championship in Arizona. ‘You’ve got to keep moving’ Tom Evans Krause, who has served as the league’s president since 2006, said he understands Fitzgerald’s attraction to the diamond. He was drafted to his first senior league team in 1995 — the league has nine divisions for men and

women ages 19 and older — and is still going today. “It’s kind of like when a shark stops swimming, they sink to the bottom. So you’ve got to keep moving,” Evans Krause said of why he plays. “To use a cliché, for the love of the game, honestly. That’s just a huge part of it. “And the camaraderie, the friendships you make,” he added. “I’ve made a number of friendships through my years in the league that will last past when I hang up the spikes. And I’m sure that’s true for many of our members.” The league has grown exponentially in its 26-year history. It started with four teams, and today serves more than 1,000 players on 66 teams. Between all nine divisions, the league plays more than 800 games between May and September’s championship games. It’s a far-stretching league geographically, with games played everywhere between Everett and Tacoma, and players coming from everywhere between Lake Stevens and Lacey. And it isn’t just for men. The league does have a few female players. Playing at great fields One of the benefits of playing in the league, Evans Krause said, is being on some of the best fields in the Northwest. The league schedules games at dozens of locations, but a portion are at Edmonds Community College, Bellevue College and the University of Washington’s newly renovated Husky Ballpark. Those are probably the best three surfaces the league uses regularly. In addition, the league played two exhibition games Independence Day weekend at Safeco Field. The Seattle Mariners have allowed the league to play there five times in the past few years, and this year’s games raised money for

robbery, he wore black sunglasses and a baseball cap, which led investigators to give him a nickname that acknowledges the robber’s penchant for sun protection. He has also worn different hooded sweatshirts and a scarf over his face in two robberies. The subject made threats and, on one occasion, implied he had a weapon. At the July robbery, he knocked down a security guard on the way out of the bank. Anyone with information as to the identity or whereabouts of the suspected robber should refrain

from approaching him and instead contact law enforcement immediately. He should be considered armed and dangerous. Anyone with information that can help identify this individual is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS (8477) toll free. Callers to Crime Stoppers may remain anonymous and are eligible to receive a cash reward of up to $1,000 if the information given leads to an arrest and charge of the person(s) involved. Callers may also call task force officer Detective Steve Hoover at 452-7868. The Seattle Safe Streets Task Force includes members from the FBI, Bellevue Police Department, Auburn Police Department, King County Sheriff’s Office and Seattle Police Department.

two months to complete and during that time, the traffic situation will worsen. “We will have to close the whole of the road for the construction,” Brater said. “There will be pretty significant detours, which we are still working out.” Currently, a “geotechnical investigation is underway” and county officials were expecting a preliminary repair design to be completed in July, according to the Department of Transportation website. Until the repair is complete, the southern lane will remained closed for safety reasons.

the Make-A-Wish Foundation. “It’s a big add-on (in dues) for each of the players to participate, but they think it’s worth it,” Evans Krause said. The 55-and-older league is split into two separate divisions — the Adirondack Division is for recreational players who may not have taken the field since Little League or Babe Ruth ball. The Everest Division is more competitive, with most players having played at the high-school or collegiate level. There are even some ex-pros, Evans Krause said. ‘A common thread’ Either way, the opportunity exists for older players to take the field, even if they haven’t done so in decades. “You have to be somewhat competitive because it is a team sport,” Fitzgerald pointed out. “With golf, you can play no matter how good or bad you are, but you don’t want to hurt the team.” Fitzgerald, in fact, has considered ending his playing career because of some recent injuries. He lives in Scottsdale, Ariz., part time and throws batting practices to a high-school team. A recent MRI shows a slight tear in his rotator cuff. People interested in forming new friendships can also find what they’re looking for in the league, Fitzgerald said. “Baseball is a common thread and you meet people from all over,” he said. “There’s executives, CEOs, laborers, all walks of life, but the bonds are there.”

Opinion

E ditorial

Please don’t feed the bears, ever “A fed bear is a dead bear.” Those were true words from an expert who spoke to The Issaquah Press several years ago about the bears people were reporting in their yards and trashcans in the Issaquah area. They are still true now. We have built our homes and businesses in their yards, and we are going to come into contact with wildlife. We are the stewards of this land, and we have a responsibility to keep those animals (along with our neighbors) safe. That means letting animals be when we encounter them. Don’t hassle them. Don’t try to pet them. Don’t feed them. Bears regularly prowl through the city, including in the Overdale Park area, south of Issaquah, in the downtown area and throughout the highlands. They are sighted annually on school grounds throughout the Issaquah School District. In May 2011, a surprised woman found one in her garage near the Sammamish Family YMCA. State Department of Fish and Wildlife officers recently learned about a woman off Issaquah-Hobart Road who was feeding bears 5-gallon buckets of birdseed. The woman thought she was helping the between six and 10 bears that have been seen on the property, but she was actually hurting them — not to mention likely scaring residents with a parade of bears in the neighborhood. When bears learn they can get food from a source other than in the wild, they become habituated. Not only is that bad for people, because the bears will keep coming back for more, but it’s also bad for the majestic animals. Once they become a problem (habituated and reported to officials regularly), bears have to be captured and moved. It isn’t always safe, for the people or the bears. Officers have to guess at the weight of a bear to tranquilize it, and like medical procedures, things can go wrong. The tranquilized bear is then taken to a mountainous area. The bear, which has become accustomed to eating what people provide, suddenly has to remember how to hunt and forage on its own, on top of competing with bears already in the area. Let the wild animals stay wild. Don’t feed the bears.

O ff T he P ress

And now, the rest of the story Over the years here at The Issaquah Press, I’ve been privileged to interview some fascinating people. Thinking back, however, some interesting tidbits from these interviews didn’t make the story. So, I thought I’d share three of my favorite looks behind the scenes of what can unexpectedly happen during a routine story assignment. The first was a feature about a group of families that were homeschooling their children. Homeschooled children undeservedly earn a bad reputation as being not socially well adjusted or being underserved by learning from home. On that day, when I arrived at the home they took common lessons from, a group of six or eight were playing a friendly game of soccer in the front yard. Looked pretty socially adjusted to me. After the interviews were over, I needed a photo to go with the story. Instead of having them just sitting there smiling for the camera, I asked the children to each grab a book from the prodigious library for a quirky concept photo. But a funny thing happened. After I was done taking images, they kept reading. Their moms didn’t recommend they study further. Rather, they all showed a natural curiosity for a random history book they pulled off a shelf. That’s something that might not be taught in a public classroom. Another time, I was surprised by the direction a story assign-

ment took at an open mic night at Malarky’s Sports Grill. Present that night was Issaquah’s own renowned music man, David HarDavid ris. But this Hayes time, while an Press reporter amateur band blared away on the miniscule stage, Harris yelled in my ear, “You don’t want to interview me. You want to interview him.” He led me to a table to an older gentleman with long, white hair flowing past his shoulders. The scraggly fella was none other than Goldy McJohn, the original keyboardist for Steppenwolf. It seems after the group broke up, lead singer John Kay was still touring, using the Steppenwolf name while other members were left holding an empty bag. McJohn was happy to share his personal story post-Steppenwolf, picking up where he was making ends meet as a landscaper for The Golf Club at Newcastle. Recently, a Hollywood bigwig recognized McJohn and eventually secured his share of royalties from Steppenwolf songs used in commercials. The significant sum was enough for McJohn to See STORY, Page A5

I found out only one of mine worked at the cash register, and said that was fine — no worries! Then, the couple behind me spoke up and went to the trouble of pulling up coupons on two separate cellphones just to give me 20 percent off on each of the three items I was purchasing. You made my day with your lovely gesture! I smiled through the rest of the day, and I promise you I will pay it forward. Since I don’t know who you are, it’s the least I can do to say thank you for your act of kindness. Heidi Rodgers Picnic: Kudos and a great big picnic with all the fixin’s to Kathleen Merrill for starting the Pets of the Week column! Kathleen has taken homeless cats and dogs and provided them with a chance to find their forever home and family! Kathleen, you are literally a life saver! The joy and companionship a pet brings to a family is immeasurable. Kathleen, you brought many, many people and their pets more love, happiness and comfort than you can possibly imagine with your compassion, kind heart and your Pets of the Week feature! Most gratefully! Pamela Timmons Poo Poo: Here’s a Poo Poo to the drivers who block intersections and driveways, especially when signs clearly indicate you’re not supposed to do so!

Costco

Night Out

from page A1

Three projects make up the bulk of the district, including an East Lake Sammamish Parkway widening, a Southeast 62nd Street road extension and improvements on the intersection of 12th Avenue Northwest and 17th Avenue Northwest. Lynne said Costco is collaborating with Issaquah on funding the projects to allow ease of traffic congestion in the area. City officials expect completion of all three projects by 2019. Though development would retain the commercial use of the land, Lynne said future buildings could be mixed use and provide upwards of 250,000 square feet of additional retail space. City officials plan to complete the development agreement by Sept. 15. “It’s a real quick turnaround,” Lynne said. “But the complexity of the development agreement is less than others.”

it gives us the chance to talk to people. It’s a chance to chit chat on a one on one basis.” City Communications Director Autumn Monahan said residents should interact with the city on social media to share their communities’ experience and, if neighborhoods hold separate block parties, receive an informational visit from an officer.

Three proposed new buildings are included in the city’s draft development agreement with Costco officials. The council’s Land and Shore Committee will discuss the proposed development agreement next on

at his Preston shop. One year, he was building from scratch his own hydroplane. As we were standing there chatting, it dawned on me he was just like some guys I knew back in high school. The rage back then was to rebuild an old pickup truck to become the main means of transportation to and from school. So, I asked Brown, “You rebuilt a truck back when you were in high school,

didn’t ya?” He got this stunned look on his face and replied, “How did you know?” I just told him it seemed natural for a hydroplane driver to go through the trouble of building his own mode of transportation would have done it before. His reaction was priceless. Great tales await when you wander off a list of prepared questions.

“We encourage people to let us know beforehand if they are holding a block party and want an officer to visit,” Monahan said. “Residents are welcome to share their events with us and with their communities as well.” Residents can connect with city staff on Facebook and Twitter, or email to schedule a visit at nno@issaquahwa.gov. Monahan said the city would use the hashtag #PartywithPolice and invited others celebrating the event to join. “It’s a really fun way

to spend a night out in Issaquah,” Monahan said. “You can attend and walk across the lawn and join the Concerts on the Green. It’s a great way to piggyback two fun events.” Behrbaum said the event offers the chance to benefit all Issaquah’s residents. “It’s about building relationships and that comfort level,” he said. “If people feel comfortable with us, then people will be more willing to call us. We care and it’s all about the quality of life in Issaquah.”

JUST LIKE THE REAL EXPERIENCE

Alena Hove wins Young Artist Award By Giancarlo Santoro news@isspress.com When she was a young child, Alena Hove’s first music teacher always told her and the rest of her classmates one thing when it came to music: On all the days you eat meals, you need to practice. Hove, who is heading into her sophomore year at Eastside Catholic High School this fall, took that piece of advice to heart, and it has paid off. Hove’s talent as a violinist won her the 2014 KING FM Young Artist Award for the junior division of ages 6-15. “I do a lot of competitions,” the 15-year-old said. “So, preparing for them helps me keep improving, as well as going to different teachers to see what they think about my music.” As with most talented

musicians, Hove’s love for the violin began when she was very young. At age 3, her mother Yuki signed her up for a “Sing and Play” class, where students were introduced to the cello, piano and violin. “I thought it would be a good idea for her to play an instrument, but I thought it would be piano because we have one at home,” Yuki said. “After putting her in the class, she heard another student playing the violin and said, ‘I want to play that,’ so we ordered her first violin as soon as we got home.” Having already made an appearance with the Seattle Symphony Orchestra at Benaroya Hall, Hove is a third-year member of the Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestra, as well as

Embrace the artistic you in your garden By Jane Garrison A few years ago, a friend of mine from the East Coast visited her son in Seattle. She is a professional floral designer with an eye for the artistic, as opposed to the scientific. We decided it would be fun to visit a nursery together and check out the plants. We each grabbed a cart and started out across the colorful, lush, potted landscape. She started filling her cart with everything colorful and beautiful. I was interested in odd specimens and natives that

fit the peculiar conditions in my yard. We went our separate ways for a while, searching and looking at each and every morsel. When we were ready to go, her cart looked amazing. It was brilliant with purples, blues, oranges, apricot and scarlet, plus many shades of green to set off everything else. It could have been photographed for the cover of a magazine. My cart looked practically empty, boring with no blossoms or lushness — just rather odd, wrinkled, little olive green things. It didn’t resonate at all.

Master gardener’s corner With Jane Garrison

I have to admit I was kind of jealous, and I thought, “Her plants don’t fit together. Some like sun, some shade. Others like wet conditions and some dry. Her son doesn’t garden. These plants won’t last a month.” But her basket was exhilarating, anyway! Did I know too much to have fun? Looking back on the experience, I found an unexpected

point of view: Starting your garden with inspiration can be a pretty cool way to go. But if you do that, you need to follow up. If a plant doesn’t do well, replace it with another inspirational one. If a plant gets too big, reshape it or allow it to be the focal point. The energy you get from the artistic approach can carry you through the “remove and replace” phase. Read the plant labels, try to match growing conditions, but allow the artistic sense to drive you. You could be surprised by the results. The garden that my friend planted surprised me. Some of the plants that I knew would not make it in this hot, dry condition lived. Some that I thought might make it died right away. An odd but interesting mix survived, and

the artistic basis for the planting lived on. I came to the conclusion that an artistic approach can lead you to an amazing, unpredictable gardening experience, one rich with inspiration and enthusiasm. Even if you don’t possess all the scientific gardening knowledge, you could eventually have a beautiful and unpredictable garden that fulfills your fantasy. And the best part is that your garden will continue to inspire you year after year as the plantings morph and change. Let your artistic, fun side dominate in the garden and see what happens. You will be surprised. Jane Garrison is a local landscape architect who gardens in glacial till.

Boyd Leroy Peterson was born Feb. 10, 1930, near Wild Rose, North Dakota, and passed Boyd Peterson away unexpectedly because of surgical complications on July 3, 2014, at Seattle’s Harborview Hospital. Boyd was well thought of and loved by all who knew him. We are feeling a true void without our Boyd! Boyd lived a rich life focusing on what mattered the most to him: family. Rising beyond his hardscrabble childhood on a farm in Wild Rose, Boyd worked hard and completed his education to become a teacher and coach. He met the love of his life, Nancy Emery Peterson, in Herman, Minnesota, and soon started his family. Boyd and Nancy’s three sons, Kyle, Mike and Todd, were the center of their lives and no effort was spared to provide them with the best opportunities that life could offer. Boyd was a firm but loving father, who offered great encouragement regarding education and in particular, participating in and following sports. Boyd passed on his best traits to his sons: honesty, loyalty, a strong work ethic, athleticism and fiscal responsibility. Boyd and Nancy were further blessed with the arrival of their sons’ wives and the growth of their six grandchildren. Boyd was a constant cheerleader for all their activities and was always there for good advice and support, as much a good friend as well as a devoted grandfather. Boyd and Nancy were deeply involved with all the aspects of their children’s and grandchildren’s lives. They devoted themselves to the well-being of their clan. Boyd’s extended tribe included his five siblings, their children, and also Nancy’s siblings and children. There was a strong web of family closeness that bound everyone together and Boyd was an essential ingredient in the family ties that exist today. The legacy of Boyd’s experience was rooted in his childhood and young adulthood growing up in North Dakota. Boyd had great nostalgia for his oftenimpoverished background, because he cherished most the people he was with at that time, a simpler time of getting to know your

neighbors of the prairie. If Boyd Peterson found out you had a connection to North Dakota, you had a good friend. Boyd’s accomplishments in life were many. He was an excellent athlete, particularly in basketball. Even today, his exploits on the court are recounted in revered tones in Wild Rose. Boyd graduated from college to become a teacher, and that became his career. He was a very good educator, and particularly enjoyed having his students think about and engage in discussions about current events. Boyd received a master’s degree in education from Colorado State. Boyd served honorably in the U.S. Army, and was very well-read regarding military history, particularly World War II. For a poor farm boy from North Dakota, Boyd followed his thrifty Scandinavian heritage to become financially secure, and made some wise investments. Boyd and Nancy were able to enjoy traveling together, with a trip to Norway to visit his roots a notable highlight. They also very much enjoyed their “get-aways” to Diamond Point on the Olympic Peninsula. But, for all his life, Boyd’s greatest joy was to visit his North Dakota home. His happiest moments would be when he could go back home to Wild Rose and strut his stuff walking down Main Street on a “Wild Saturday Night in Wild Rose.” Boyd Leroy Peterson is survived by his loving wife Nancy; his sons Kyle (Shawn), Michael (Lisa) and Todd (Cheryl); his grandchildren Dylan, Ryan, Lucas, Nikki, Hailey and Jessie; and also his sister Florence. Boyd’s legacy will live on with his large family, and with the many friends he made through the years. A strong belief in family and friendship is what made Boyd Peterson the singular man he was. He was a simple farm boy from North Dakota who done good. A celebration of Boyd’s life will be held at Our Savior Lutheran Church on Saturday, Aug. 2, 2014, at 4 p.m. A reception will follow at the Issaquah Senior Center. In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts in Boyd’s memory should go to the Issaquah Senior Center or to Our Savior Lutheran Church.

Robert Dewey Nelson Robert (Bob) Dewey Nelson, 89, died at his home in Issaquah on July 22. Robert Nelson Bob was predeceased by his father George Nelson, mother Bergie Nelson and brother Levi (Skip). Loved for his kindness and sense of humor, Bob Nelson was an avid traveler, explorer, crisis counselor, teacher and lifelong learner. Bob’s journey began in St. Paul, Minnesota. He dreamed of exploring the world, and trained as a pilot during World War II, serving in both the Atlantic and Pacific. After the war, Bob earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Minnesota and explored the Pacific Northwest on summer jobs. Returning to Seattle for his master’s degree at the University of Washington, Bob met the love of his life, Joanna Jones. Bob and Jo raised four sons in a home he designed on Beaver Lake. Bob served

the Pike Street Quartet, and she was invited to participate in the 2014 International Menuhin Competition. The KING FM contest, though, was something new for Hove. Comprised of three rounds, one a recording of her playing and the other two live on radio, a board of nine judges voted on 100 participants, eventually narrowing it down to six finalists. The final step was to send in a YouTube video to the KING FM website to be judged by the community. “I was very honored

the UW as counselor, associate professor and a leader in outreach for the university’s School Of Social Work. Eventually, Bob moved on to Edmonds Community College, where his work included emerging specialties in caring for the elderly. Upon his retirement, Bob and Jo enjoyed international travel and relaxing stays on the Pacific coast. Bob’s expanded love of gardening included relocating part of his orchard when moving to Providence Point. Bob is survived by his wife of 62 years, Joanna (Jo) Nelson; his sisters June and Carmen; his four sons Eric (Lorri), Michael (Jennifer), Daniel (Lori) and John (Cami); as well as 15 grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren. Following a private family service, the family will receive friends at a memorial reception on Aug. 3, 2014, at 4:30 p.m. at the Providence Point Clubhouse in Issaquah. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, memorials be made to the Edmonds Community College Foundation (www.edcc.edu/ foundation) or to the Issaquah Food Bank (http:// issaquahfoodbank.org).

and really excited that I won the competition,” Hove said. “It has brought me a lot of opportunities, and I even got to appear on the morning edition of KING 5 News, which was my first time on TV.” What separates Hove from the rest of the pack is her ability to balance violin practice with schoolwork, something she hopes will aid her in the future when applying to college. “My goal is to practice two to three hours during the weekdays and double that during the weekends,” Hove said. “I can’t think of a life without violin, but I want to keep my options open. Violin school is definitely one option.”

will become,” Waters said in a news release. “What we do as educators, parents, and people that care about students every day matters.”

Past, upcoming stars collide at Skyline football camp By Neil Pierson npierson@ sammamishreview.com There were roughly 140 players on the field at Skyline High School, but it was easy to form a consensus about who their favorite football player was. During the third day of the annual four-day Future Champs Camp at Skyline on July 24, several of the young boys had donned No. 2 purple-and-gold University of Washington Huskies jerseys. And it was no coincidence the player they idolized, former Skyline standout and current Husky wide receiver Kasen Williams, was there to partake in the festivities. The camp for students entering second through eighth grades was wellattended, and the youngsters got a few tastes of the Skyline football program’s rich history. Max Browne, who led the Spartans to state titles in 2011 and 2012 before heading off to play quarterback at Southern California, stopped by July 22. It also didn’t hurt that about two dozen current Skyline players served as coaching mentors. “I think the highlight of the camp for years has been the guys that are coaching, the high-school kids, they went through this camp and they looked

That, ultimately, is the No. 1 goal, because we want the kids to be excited about Skyline football.” At the end of a threehour session July 24, Williams spoke to the campers and signed autographs. The 6-foot-3 wideout, who has one season remaining at the UW, will try to show NFL scouts he’s back to full health after sustaining a broken leg in a game against California in October. Williams told the Skyline campers that

he’s learning a lot from Chris Peterson, the Huskies’ new head coach. “One thing he harps on a lot is discipline and selflessness,” Williams said. Selfless play, in fact, was one of the main themes Taylor was preaching during the week. “The No. 1 thing is that you can have the greatest football players, but you have to have a great team. Everybody’s got to come together,” Taylor said. The youngsters were divided into smaller groups based on their ages, and their Skyline player-coaches handed out Gatorades to those who best exemplified qualities like leadership and hustle. We “teach some of these

were first-time participants looking to better their skills on the gridiron. Scott said his favorite teams are the Texas Longhorns and Seattle Seahawks, and his favorite positions are left guard and safety. “I like left guard because you can push people

kids that maybe they scored four touchdowns, but they didn’t get a Gatorade award because they maybe didn’t have that trait we’re looking for,” Taylor noted. Many of the high-school players who served as mentors had formed a full circle. “It’s definitely fun, since we all went through it,” said Bo Longmore, a junior outside linebacker and tight end. “It’s kind of fun to see all the little guys and just know that was us back in the day — just a few years ago, actually.” Longmore was a youth player when Browne, Williams and quarterback Jake Heaps led the Spartans to five state championships between 2007 and 2012. “They were my idols growing up,” Longmore said. “That’s all I wanted to be.” While the camp was largely about having fun, competition wasn’t completely shoved to the back burner. During the daily flag-football scrimmages, for example, the Spartans players coached their kids from the huddle and the sideline, and were often screaming and celebrating alongside them after touchdowns. Some youngsters like Maddox Scott, an incoming fourth-grader at Cascade Ridge Elementary School,

around, and safety because you can tackle people,” he said. Scott added that he’ll “maybe” play for the Spartans one day, and he takes some pleasure in the sport’s physical nature. “Only when I’m doing the pushing around,” he said with a laugh.

Overlake clinics offer walk-in sports physicals

way S.E.

Grand Ridge Trail run is set for Aug. 2

Overlake Medical Center is offering lowcost sports physicals on a walk-in basis, seven days a week, at Overlake Medical Clinics’ urgent care clinic in Issaquah. The physicals are $40. Nearly all states, schools and youth sports leagues require players to have a complete sports physical prior to participating in practices or games. The exam helps make sure that those who play sports are physically capable of meeting the demands of that sport and don’t have any condition that may be provoked by intense exercise. Sports physicals are usually required about a month before the start of practice in order to allow time to address any medical conditions that are discovered during the appointment. This allows an athlete to modify his or her training routine if necessary. Learn more at www. overlakehospital.org/ urgent or call 688-5777. The clinic is at 5708 E. Lake Sammamish Park-

Teen makes ‘Unbreakable’ music bebut

By Rachel Osgood news@isspress.com

Fifteen-year-old Issaquah resident Sam Foster invites you to join him at the release party for his upcoming album, “Unbreakable.” “I really want people to enjoy the music and the story it tells. Hopefully, people can relate to the songs and it strikes a chord,” Foster said. “I hope people realize there is more to a person than meets the eye. “Although you may think that someone is doing fine from the outside, there are things you don’t know about them that they have to deal with.” Blakely Hall will serve as the venue for the celebration and

promotion of the album, which is available on iTunes, Amazon and Spotify. The six-song EP ranges in genre from modern rock, to pop, to R&B. Foster will perform some of his original songs as well as several covers with a live

band at the event. “Each song on the EP tells a different story. They’re all about real experiences. I only write about what I have experienced,” Foster said. “However, most of the songs are about struggles I went through, and I made it through them, and that’s why I named the EP ‘Unbreakable.’” Foster wrote and composed all the tracks on the album, recording them at a local studio with the aid of his producer Brian Fennel and mentor Elijah Myles. “I start by picking what to write a song about,” Foster said. “Usually, the topic is something that is very fresh in my mind at the time. Sometimes, I write melody first, sometimes lyrics. It depends on what inspires me

that day.” In helping Foster transition from a singer to an artist, Myles said, “Music and singing is about telling a story, painting a picture for an audience, baring your heart and soul, connecting. I like to give Sam the freedom to express himself as he just gets it, far beyond his years, and then I come in to help translate and polish from years of experience. I just want to be able to help give him the wings to fly, because I know he can.” Foster has been involved in music since before he was in kindergarten. As a child, he had a love of classical music that led to piano lessons and participation in select choirs as early as fourth grade. He plans to continue his

musical journey, pursuing a career as a touring artist. “Sam holds nothing back, and gives every fiber of his being, in every note and every lyric. Who does that at his age?” Myles asked. “He writes and sings from a place of honesty and emotion. I love the heart, the honesty, the talent and sheer desire to do nothing but write and sing. And when you hear and see him, there is no doubt that he is doing what he was meant to do.”

Get a simple, affordable steak fix from the grill By Maria Nelson No matter who you are or where you live at one point or another during the dog days of summer, your mind will turn at some point toward grilling. Regardless of what you cook, be it strictly vegetables or meat or some amalgamation of both, the undeniable allure of cooking over flame is a strong one. Steak, grilled to crispy outer deliciousness with a meltingly soft interior is often, for us, the way to go. A naturally easy and delicious way to grill most always involves minimal prep of both meat and marinade, allowing the delicious flavors of both shine through. Grilled skirt steak with chimichurri is a simple, and affordable way to get your steak fix that involves little time in the

Calaca Kings bring the funk to concerts series The 14th annual outdoor concert series at Pine Lake Park continues July 31 with The Calaca Kings. The concerts in the park are from 6:30-8 p.m. Thursdays through Aug. 28. There is plenty of lawn space, so you can bring your own picnic basket. There will be barbecue dinners and ice cream for sale. No alcohol is allowed. Three generations of Doughtys (Fred, son Andrew and grandson Jordan) bring together a smart compilation of perfectly mixed genres that appeals to all ages. They feature some of the Northwest’s top performers in their lineups. Performing with them July 31 is Tiffiny Theis, a prolific writer and guitarist with “a sweet and

kitchen and even less time on the grill. A staple of Argentinian cuisine, chimichurri sauce features bright and fresh flavors, and goes exceptionally well with steak of all stripes. Skirt steak is traditional but any favorite cut will do. To up the ante a bit, you could serve this with some blue cheese or goat cheese crumbles. Roasted tomatoes, garlic mashed potatoes or grilled Elote corn would be an excellent accompaniment and a perfect way to enjoy summer’s bountiful produce.

Grilled skirt steak with chimichurri For the steak 41 1/2 pounds skirt steak, trimmed 41 tablespoon olive oil

A free shuttle is available to and from the park & ride. No dogs are allowed on the shuttle. Learn more at www. sammamish.us/events/concertsinthepark.aspx.

‘Two Gentlemen’ comes to community center The Seattle Shakespeare Co. continues its summer Wooden O Shakespeare in the Park Series July 31 with “The Two Gentlemen of Verona” at the Issaquah Community Center. The performance is from 7-9 p.m. at 301 Rainier Blvd. S. In “The Two Gentle-

men of Verona,” best pals Valentine and Proteus find themselves rivals for the affections of the beautiful Silvia while Julia, Proteus’ forgotten gal, hatches a plan to win back her man. As the two gents play out their foolish ideas of love, their servants Speed and Launce create a comic contest of their own in a hilarious battle of wits. While blankets and picnic baskets are welcome on the lawn during performances, organizers ask that pets and alcohol be left at home. Wooden O, founded in 1994, started with annual summer Shakespeare performances at Mercer Island’s Luther Burbank Amphitheater. Demand for the free summer Shakespeare performances grew, and over the years, park venues from Lynnwood to

Auburn were added to the schedule. In spring 2008, Seattle Shakespeare Co. merged with Wooden O. Learn more at www. seattleshakespeare.org/ woodeno.

Georgetown Orbits features Jamaican ska Proof of Seattle’s diverse music scene makes its way east when The Georgetown Orbits swing hit the Concerts on the Green stage Aug. 5 at the Issaquah Community Center. Picnicking kicks off at 6 p.m.; bring a blanket. Music is from 7-8:30 p.m. As many as 500 revelers attend, come early to stake out your spot. The Georgetown Orbits boast a heavy regimen of traditional ska and upbeat, roots-influenced reggae. The band has garnered much attention

in the Northwest as one of the few to pay tribute to the old sounds of Jamaican ska, a style that has gained notable popularity in Seattle since the band’s conception in late 2004. The concerts, at 301 Rainier Blvd., are presented by Issaquah’s Parks & Recreation Department and the Issaquah Arts Commission, in collaboration with the Kiwanis Club of Issaquah. Kiwanis sells refreshments during the show, including hotdogs and hamburgers.

ArtWalk season continues in downtown Issaquah ArtWalk is from 6-9 p.m. Aug. 1. ArtWalk features up to 50 talented artists in media ranging from jewelry and photography to paintings and metal work.
