Curtain rises on refurbished theater sign

King County residents called on leaders last week to preserve community councils in rural and unincorporated neighborhoods, despite directions from the County Council to slash dollars for the groups.

Residents from the Puget Sound shoreline to rural areas near Issaquah operate unincorporated area councils to conduct neighborhood programs and foster citizen participation.

The councils also act as liaisons for unincorporated area residents to the county government based in Seattle. The county is home to 1.9 million people, including 340,000 residents in unincorporated areas.

But County Council members winnowed the budget for the unincorporated area councils from about $330,000 to $50,000 late last year, as the county faced a $60 million budget gap.

The council also directed staffers to craft a plan to consolidate the groups into a single unincorporated area commission. Staffers must send the plan to the council by April 15.

In addition, the budget funds staff positions related to the unincorporated area councils — community service representatives Marissa Alegria and Bong Santo Domingo — through February.

The directive, or proviso, has prompted protests from rural residents and members of the unincorporated area councils.

The changes tucked inside the 119-page county budget document also surprised Lauren Smith, unincorporated areas adviser to County Executive Dow Constantine, and unincorporated-area leaders.

The restoration team at a

Kirkland sign manufacturer spent weeks to restore the decades-old sign. Crews installed the refurbished sign on the façade Jan. 14, as the theater reconstruction project nears completion.

Village Theatre plans to raise the curtain on a rebuilt First Stage Theatre soon.

The reconstructed theater is a doppelgänger for the old building.

Even the red-and-green color scheme is the same.

The same attention to detail imbues the refurbished sign. If the façade is the crown, the sign is the jewel.

Though plans required the decrepit theater to be razed, the sign — salvaged from the frontierera building — needed to be restored to glory.

The battered and blistered sign reached The Sign Factory in Kirkland not long before Christmas.

Issaquah Police Department and federal agents continue to probe a suspicious package delivered to a North Issaquah office building late last week.

Police said emergency crews mobilized at about 2 p.m. Jan. 13 after receiving reports of a package containing a suspicious powder.

Eastside Fire & Rescue and Issaquah Police Department teams responded to the building in the 1600 block of Northwest Sammamish Road, after workers reported concerns about the contents in a package sent to the business.

EFR sent a hazardous materials team to retrieve and remove the package. Officials also locked down the building and cordoned off the area for several hours.

Responders said three or four

workers reported headaches and sore throats. EFR did not transport any workers for medical treatment and the affected workers recovered not long after emergency crews arrived.

Crews ended the lock down and allowed workers inside the building to depart at about 5:15 p.m.

Investigators interviewed some workers at the scene.

The investigation expanded to include the police department, the FBI and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the agency responsible for mail-related crimes. Officials had not yet determined the contents of the package.

The incident occurred at the Lake Place Office Center near Costco and Costco headquarters.

Costco also owns and operates the building.

Questions linger in months after lethal shootings Backlog at crime lab could delay charges in state park incident

By Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporter Gunshots interrupted the summer hubbub at Lake Sammamish State Park just after sunset last July 17. The picnics and twilight dips in the lake clamored to a halt as a fistfight escalated into a firefight.

In the six months since gunfire

pierced the summer night, the lethal shootout at the packed Issaquah park has defied easy answers.

The investigation remains open, but tips to the King County Sheriff’s Office dried up not long after the incident.

Now, King County Medical Examiner’s Office reports, court documents, and accounts from law enforcement officers and park rangers offer a glimpse at the chaos inside the park amid the firefight and the ensuing investigation.

and Justin Cunningham, 30, a native Seattleite and a mechanic, died in the shootout.

Investigators hope ballistics tests help determine the shooter or shooters. Sgt. John Urquhart, sheriff’s office spokesman, urged observers to hold off on speculation until the investigation concludes — despite reports identifying either dead man as a shooter.

The investigation timeline remains uncertain, because the process has slowed as the state crime laboratory toils to process evidence in the case. The results could remain unavailable until

almost a year after the incident.

The long backlog at the understaffed and underfunded Washington State Patrol crime laboratories means evidence needed for upcoming trials or to charge jailed suspects receives more immediate attention.

“It’s not like ‘CSI’ by any stretch of the imagination,” Urquhart said.

“It just doesn’t work that way.”

The nonprofit organization relied on a dedicated volunteer crew to conduct tours and educational programs at the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery. FISH had 44 master and returning docents for the spawning season, plus 23 new docents. The team offered tours to more than 7,400 visitors during the 10-week fall season.

City plans to count vehicles using Interstate 90 Undercrossing A2 • Wednesday, January 19, 2011

By Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporter Motorists continue to discover Fourth Avenue Northwest, a shortcut beneath Interstate 90, and the city plans to start counting the number of vehicles using the undercrossing as early as next month.

The undercrossing opened to traffic in mid-December after the city resolved legal challenges and concerns about the potential impact on the environment. Mayor Ava Frisinger, flanked by the crown-and-robe-clad King and Queen of Issaquah, Nathan Perea and Renee Zimmerman, snipped the ribbon on the road during a Jan. 11 ceremony.

Construction on the undercrossing started last May. Planners estimate the undercrossing could cut 2,000 to 4,000 vehicles from Northwest Gilman Boulevard and 3,000 to 6,000 ve-

hicles from Front Street North each day.

City Public Works Engineering Director Bob Brock said crews plan to deploy tubes and sensors on the undercrossing road surface in the months ahead to count vehicles using the connector.

The long-planned link runs from a traffic signal at the Issaquah Post

The Issaquah Press

Office along Northwest Gilman Boulevard, connects into the rail corridor behind Gilman Station, forms a T-shaped intersection at Southeast 62nd Street, continues along 221st Place Southeast and then terminates at Southeast 56th Street.

The undercrossing supplements traffic-clogged Front Street North and state Route 900, the other connectors between north and south Issaquah. Both older crossings also provide access to the interstate, but the combination of local traffic and vehicles from the on- and off-ramps contributes to the gridlock.

Brock said he had received positive feedback from community members about the north-south connector.

Motorists should also be able to check traffic conditions on the undercrossing soon. Crews also installed a camera along the undercrossing as part of the Intelligent

Transportation System.

The city started offering realtime data from traffic cameras online late last month. Brock said the undercrossing camera should join the lineup as soon as testing is complete.

Though the road has opened to traffic and the mayor has cut the ribbon on the undercrossing, a portion of the project remains unfinished.

In the fall, crews started building a manmade wetland in Emily Darst Park to replace wetlands destroyed by the construction of the undercrossing and a pedestrian link across the interstate at state Route 900.

The wetland project has since stopped for the winter. Brock expects construction to resume in late March or early April.

park for 24 hours after the July shootout to scour for clues.

Investigators recovered four guns from a vehicle and in the brush near the shooting scene — including a handgun discovered near Cunningham’s head — and at least 20 spent cartridges from .40caliber, .45-caliber and 9 mm handguns.

The team also discovered a magazine containing ammunition inside Cunningham’s left front jeans pocket.

The shootout injured a 20 yearold North Bend man, a 22-year-old Seattle man and a 16-year-old Renton boy. Police said another man had been stomped in the fracas and suffered facial injuries.

Officers later made a single arrest tied to the case — a firearm possession charge for David Keowongphet, a cousin of the slain Keovongphet.

The widow Keovongphet left behind, Sann, said she had seen the cousin fire into the air amid the clash. Prosecutors said the cousin could not possess firearms due to prior felony convictions.

Keowongphet is due to be released in December from the Washington Corrections Center in Shelton after serving a sentence for unlawful possession.

Ian Goodhew, deputy chief of staff for county Prosecutor Dan Satterberg, said prosecutors had yet to decide to file additional charges related to the incident.

“None of those conclusions have been made in our office, because the sheriff’s office hasn’t closed out its investigation,” Goodhew said.

In September, the Seattle Police Department probed a possible link between the Issaquah incident and a lethal Seattle shooting, but the investigation has not led to any arrests in the park shootout.

BY WARREN KAGARISE

Officers from several law enforcement agencies blocked the Northwest Sammamish Road entrance to Lake Sammamish State Park after the July 17, 2010, shootings.

Officers face ‘scene out of a bad movie’ Issaquah Police Officer Tom Griffith happened to be on a routine patrol inside the park at dusk July 17.

The officer and some park rangers had stopped near Sunset Beach just as popping noises echoed across the 514-acre park.

In the split second before a phone call alerted a ranger to the shootout, Griffith thought the sound might be leftover firecrackers from Independence Day, either elsewhere in the park or across the lake in South Cove.

Griffith and the rangers hopped into patrol cruisers and roared to the Tibbetts Beach picnic area.

The longtime officer parked in the lot near the beach, grabbed a rifle from the car trunk and headed in the direction of the lakefront.

The crowd surged from the beach as Griffith and park rangers charged into the melee.

“We pulled into the south beach parking lot there, and it was just like a scene out of a bad movie with literally hundreds of people yelling and screaming, running away from the water toward the parking lot,” he recalled.

The initial officers on the scene encountered 15 to 20 people “still going toe to toe, yelling and screaming at each other, ‘Your bro shot my bro!’ ‘No, you shot first!’ and that kind of stuff,” Griffith said.

Officers pulled the groups apart and held people on the ground at gunpoint.

Then, a parkgoer approached Griffith, pointed out another man on the periphery and said the man had a gun.

Griffith held the man until another officer could tear free, handcuff the man and place him inside a patrol cruiser.

Parkgoers face confusion — and fear Police also chased a Ford sport-

utility vehicle speeding from the park, because observers said shooters could be inside the vehicle. So, a police cruiser pursued the SUV, lights blaring and sirens screaming, to the Swedish Medical Center emergency room just outside the park gate.

The officer held the driver and passengers at gunpoint as ER staffers hauled a bleeding and injured man from the SUV inside for treatment.

“We knew there were guns there, but they were unaccounted for, so we’re assuming that everybody is a potential threat at this stage,” Griffith said.

Help started to reach the scene less than 10 minutes after shots rang out. The sheriff’s office and state patrol sealed park entrances.

“It was a very, very volatile situation,” Griffith said. “We were afraid that we were going to have more shooting, because by the time we got there, there were a lot of shots that had been fired.”

In the meantime, Eastside Fire & Rescue and Bellevue Fire Department medical personnel set up

a staging area in the IHOP parking lot along Northwest Sammamish Road to await the signal to enter the park.

Griffith found people hunkered behind trees and beneath picnic tables as officers and rangers fanned across the scene.

“Of course, you can’t separate, necessarily, the good guys from the bad guys,” he continued. “They don’t wear a sign that says, ‘I’m a bad guy.’ Everybody is a potential threat at that point, until you can get the situation under control.”

Groups lob insults, then bullets Yang and Sann Keovongphet came to the park for a picnic at about 6 p.m. The crowd, about 30 or 40 people strong, included Keowongphet’s ex-wife and children.

The cousin, Keowongphet, happened to be part of another cookout about 200 feet from the picnic.

Members in both groups had gang ties — and numerous guns.

“I don’t think that they planned on meeting up out there,” Urquhart said. “It was more of a spontaneous dispute that arose.”

Just before dusk, Cunningham

and Keowongphet ambled to the other picnic area. Keowongphet had come to say goodbye to his children.

The lakefront picnic area changed from a site for countless summer rituals to a crime scene in the moments afterward.

Sann Keovongphet said the fight started after about 10 or 15 “homeboys” approached the other gathering. The men started “talking smack” and strutted across the grass separating the groups.

Then, as Yang Keovongphet and Keowongphet attempted to intervene, the insults escalated and punches started to fly. Sann Keovongphet said the cousin fired into the air.

Yang Keovongphet collapsed facedown onto the ground, dead from a gunshot blast to the left shoulder and chest.

Officers and medics attempted to resuscitate Keovongphet and Cunningham in the frenzied moments after the shootings. The medical examiner’s office later said the men died at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators focused on possible gang ties as a cause early on, but a domestic dispute could be another reason for the shootout.

“The gang connection was not the catalyst for the shooting, from everything that we’ve heard,” Urquhart said.

Shootout dampens park attendance Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission leaders sent counselors to meet the park staff after the incident, but Park Manager Rich Benson reported no long-term effects from the incident.

In the meantime, attention has turned to looming cuts to the state park system.

The gun battle prompted questions about alcohol and firearms at state parks — members from both groups consumed alcohol in designated picnic areas — in the aftermath, but the state has not changed park policies.

The state also allows firearms inside state parks, as long the owner obeys rules and does not discharge the weapon.

The lakefront park attracts more than 1 million people for outdoor recreation during a typical year.

Though attendance declined at the park after the incident, especially in the days after the shootout, Benson said the drop-off in attendance is easier to attribute to a cloud-cloaked summer than to the gun battle.

“Nobody came in and said, ‘Where did this take place?’ or anything else,” he said. “They just didn’t. I was a little surprised by that.”

Griffith said the shootings’ scale and scope do not compare to other the incidents in a 25-year career as a reserve and full-time officer for the Issaquah Police Department.

“We have a very transitory society. People come and go,” he said.

“Yes, this is Issaquah, but people from all over come through here.

Our own residents have problems and residents from other communities have problems. Wherever people meet and mix together, they bring their problems with them.”

Fate remains uncertain The fish is a candidate for protection under the federal Endangered Species Act. Kokanee conservationists — including environmental organizations, local governments and the Snoqualmie Tribe — petitioned in 2007 to list the species as endangered.

The petition remains under consideration, Doug Zimmer, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service spokesman in the Western Washington office, said in late December.

Kokanee used to thrive in Lake Sammamish. The freshwater salmon species formed the foundation of a robust ecosystem and a recreational fishery. Snoqualmies fished for the plentiful salmon as a staple.

In recent years, the number of salmon in the late-fall and earlywinter run has dwindled to less

part of the budget proviso,” Smith said during a Jan. 13 meeting at the King County Library System Service Center in Issaquah.

The meeting brought together representatives from the half dozen unincorporated area councils — citizen groups elected by residents in regions as disparate as Vashon Island and rural Maple Valley.

The group includes the Four Creeks Unincorporated Area Council near Issaquah. The area encompasses 14,000 residents in Maple Hills, May Valley, Mirrormont and other communities between Issaquah and Renton.

By Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporter Lake Sammamish kokanee salmon used to turn the creeks branching from the lake to the color of rust as thousands of fish headed upstream to spawn.

The once-plentiful fish has declined in recent decades, perhaps due to construction near the tributary creeks, increased predators, disease or changes in water quality.

But the imperiled fish has received a boost from local, state and federal officials in recent seasons.

Scientists started to comb the tributary creeks for spawning salmon late last year and, during the ongoing spawning season, King County and local, state and federal agencies coordinated efforts to restore the species.

Lake Sammamish kokanee — a landlocked cousin of sockeye salmon — return to creeks near the lake in the rain-soaked months from November to January.

King County, state Department of Fish and Wildlife and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service staffers deployed along creek banks throughout the season to collect fish in creeks near the lake and spawn the salmon at the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery.

The local hatchery receives half of the eggs to raise to juvenile salmon and the other half is shipped to the Quilcene National Fish Hatchery on the Olympic Peninsula. Scientists hope to harvest 110,000 eggs before the spawning season wraps.

“Incubating fertilized eggs in a hatchery’s controlled environment greatly increases their chance of successful hatching,” state Regional Hatchery Operations Manager Doug Hatfield said. “The goal is to jumpstart this very low population of fish and bring them back from the brink of extinction.”

Councils

than 1,000 in some seasons.

Kokanee return to only a handful of creeks — Ebright, Laughing Jacobs and Lewis — to spawn.

Teams collect adult kokanee from the streams and then spawn the fish. Then, hatchery staffers place the fertilized eggs in incubators to mature and hatch.

The hatchery program trucks in water from the tributary creeks in order to help the tiny fish “imprint” on the streams and then return to spawn in the tributaries instead of the hatcheries.

Scientists hope the technique provides the opportunity to boost the natural runs in Lake Sammamish tributaries.

“Salmon show a strong attachment to the streams and water in which they hatch,” U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service fish biologist Jeff Chan said. “Our assumption is that if we use the water from the streams that their parents returned to, the next generation will seek out that same stream during their own spawning run. It would be a big step forward if we get this approach to work.”

The next generation The time the BB-sized eggs spend at the hatcheries eliminates some lethal risks, including the

threat from flood flows. The eggs could be scoured from nests or smothered in silt, sand and rocks.

“When you bring them into the hatchery, what it does is remove that early part, the dangerous part where they take the high losses due to silting, predation and diseases,” Dan Magneson, assistant manager at the Quilcene hatchery, said in late December. “The hatchery is a protected environment, so you can get them up to the release size without that loss.”

Conservationists hope the hatchery program helps sustain kokanee in the short term. The effort to preserve the species also includes long-term habitat restoration projects. The goal is to create a species able to be sustained through spawning in the wild and, perhaps, restore a kokanee fishery in Lake Sammamish.

The effort includes dollars from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the state and the county, plus lakeside cities, including Issaquah and Sammamish.

Creekside residents and other citizens also contribute to the program. Residents alert scientists and other staffers to returning kokanee.

Plans call for agency staffers and citizens to release kokanee fry into creeks in the spring.

“During this time of extremely tight budgets, we have to work together even more closely and find ways to economize while we maintain our focus on our goals,” David St. John, chairman of the Lake Sammamish Kokanee Work Group, said in a statement.

‘Hey, we’re all different’ Peter Eberle, Four Creeks Unincorporated Area Council president, said the councils reflect the cultural and geographic characteristics of each region.

“Many of the current UACs are made up of citizen participants who are proactive in terms of county government,” he said. “It would be a great loss as a county to lose the participation of these dedicated people, the people that are in this room.”

Smith said staffers had received similar feedback from community leaders and residents in rural and unincorporated areas.

“Another thing the county has heard a lot from unincorporated areas is, ‘Hey, we’re all different.

Don’t treat us the same,’” she said.

“Vashon is different from Upper Bear Creek, which is very different from Greater Maple Valley.”

The unincorporated area councils face other challenges, too.

The entire Vashon-Maury Island Community Council resigned in August amid a dispute related to public disclosure rules.

The latest members could decide to break the formal relationship between the Vashon Island group and the county.

The episode has caused leaders on the councils and in the county to question if the groups should exists as nonprofit organizations rather than offshoots of county government.

The participants at the Issaquah meeting called for a meeting of the full County Council and unincorporated area representatives to discuss possible solutions.

Reagan Dunn, the only unincorporated area resident on the ninemember County Council, said the unincorporated area councils act as a key resource to residents in the

ABOUT THE UNINCORPORATED AREA COUNCILS King County and the unincorporated area councils formalized a relationship after then-County Executive Gary Locke enacted the Citizen Participation Initiative in December 1994.

Then, about one-third of the county population — 500,000 people — resided in unincorporated areas. The number has since declined to 340,000 due to annexations and incorporations.

Locke signed the measure to grant unincorporated area residents a larger say in issues related to growth and police protection.

In the years since, the King County Council has recognized a half dozen unincorporated area councils throughout the region. The groups vary in geography and population.

Four Creeks Unincorporated Area Council — The rural group serves about 14,000 people in rural

neighborhoods outside the 39 cities.

“If you live inside a city, you have a city council and a mayor and a city administrator and city staff to go to, and then above that, the county,” he said. “If you’re in unincorporated King County — like in my district, I have 220,000 residents; 100,000 of them are in unincorporated King County — you have me and you have Dow. That’s it.”

Dunn said the unincorporated area councils should remain in place, as long as county staffers can set some guidelines for insurance and public disclosure requests — potential problem areas for the groups.

Uncertain future for councils The county councilman voted against the 2011 county budget in part, he said, due to the cuts to the unincorporated area councils.

“It sounds like this unincorporated area commission is dead on arrival,” he added.

Dunn represents rural King County near Issaquah, plus Maple Valley, Newcastle and areas inside Bellevue and Renton city limits.

Carl Sells, Vashon-Maury Island Community Council acting president, said although the island has unique needs, unincorporated residents share similar concerns across the county.

“Every road and pothole in our community belongs to the county, and for major repairs, equipment and materials must be ferried to the island,” he said. “Our police,

neighborhoods from Issaquah to Renton.

Greater Maple Valley Area Council — The council represents the largest geographic area, including Hobart, and about 15,000 residents.

North Highline Unincorporated Area Council — The urban unincorporated area includes about 30,000 people in White Center and other neighborhoods between Burien and Seattle.

Upper Bear Creek Community Council — The group serves about 22,000 residents from Woodinville city limits to the Snohomish County line.

Vashon-Maury Island Community Council — The council has served the island community since 1933 and gained recognition from the county in 1996. The group represents about 10,000 islanders.

West Hill Community Council — The urban unincorporated area council serves about 13,000 residents along Lake Washington between Renton and Seattle.

fire and emergency medical services are all from the county and stand alone. Assistance is too far away to help our locally staffed facilities.”

Greater Maple Valley Area Council President Steve Heister said the creation of a countywide commission based in Seattle could mean scant attention for local concerns.

“My fear is, a rural commission is not going to be effective and it won’t have local representation,” he said. “It won’t be out there meeting in the community, in the rural areas, once a month as the citizen UACs do.”

West Hill Community Council President Paul Berry said the council had insulted the unincorporated area councils by calling for the groups to be folded into a single organization.

West Hill is a neighborhood wedged against Lake Washington, Renton, Seattle and Tukwila.

“Whatever you’re talking about in terms of a modified structure, it has to be locally based,” Berry said. “My people aren’t going to go get involved in a countywide operation. They’re not going to spend more resources and time fighting to just be able to do what we barely can get people to do anyway.”

Tom Carpenter, a former Four Creeks Unincorporated Area Council president, offered a suggestion to county staffers: “Don’t try to come up with a formula for the UACs,” he said.

OPINION

Council is taking too long to fill vacancy PRESS E DITORIAL

T

he race is on to fill the open seat on the City Council — but this time, instead of impressing voters, the successful candidate must charm four out of six council members to earn a coveted seat at the table.

We don’t see any reason why it should take nearly the length of an election season to choose a replacement for the seat left vacant by Maureen McCarry’s resignation.

Indeed, we look forward to a robust discussion about residents’ priorities and the city’s goals as the council interviews the candidates. But the drawn-out process gives us pause.

Potential candidates learned at the Dec. 20 council meeting, or shortly thereafter, about McCarry’s resignation and the open seat. The council set the application schedule Jan. 3 and declared Feb. 4 as the deadline for candidates — but then candidates have another 10 days to submit additional materials. The official application period alone stretches for 42 days, plus subsequent meetings needed for interviews.

If a person requires a more than a month to assemble application materials — a questionnaire, letters of recommendation, etc. — then he or she simply does not have the time to serve as a council member.

Though the job title describes the role of a council member as part time, make no mistake, the position is much more.

The council is not expected to appoint the newest member until March 7 at the earliest.

The timeline is too long, leaving the council to rely on the tiebreaking authority of Mayor Ava Frisinger’s vote until a seventh member is seated.

Issaquah residents deserve full representation in a timely manner.

O FF THE P RESS

Asking age does not warrant violence Do I mind if I ask your age?

As a reporter, I occasionally have to ask this question. Although people are often happy to disclose their ages, there are always those who get a little too self-conscious about how long they’ve been kicking around.

But when does this feeling of old age begin? Is it at 40 years?

Maybe 50? Perhaps as young as 30?! Then again, it might start when grandpa finds out you want to give him 90 spankings for his birthday.

The age seems to be different with everybody, and sometimes the ones who look younger than they are turn out to be the self-conscious ones. This is what makes asking about age so terrifying.

I usually have to ask for ages when interviewing children, working on human-interest stories or when interviewing people at festivals, such as Salmon Days.

Children are no problem. In fact, they usually tell you their age without asking. Rather, the real challenge with interviewing children is extracting answers longer than one word. Sometimes it takes asking the question six or seven different ways to get a child to give you a legitimate response.

Take my word for it: Education reporters are among the most patient people you’ll find anywhere.

Another problem associated with children is getting parents to tell you the ages of their very young children in years rather than months. There’s really no need to introduce math, because when they’re 24 months old, they’re 2. When they’re 30 months old, they’re still 2. Until their third birthday, that number won’t change.

When it comes to human-interest stories, asking one’s age often isn’t a problem, as a reporter is usually asking far more

personal questions.

Thus, we’re left with festivals.

As I prowl the festival grounds, wading through the mobs of peoTim Pfarr ple and searching for Press reporter an interview, I’m constantly afraid that I’ll ask one’s age only to be stabbed in the face with a plastic fork in response. So far, I’ve been fortunate enough to avoid any physical violence, although occasionally a woman with gray hair will tell me “she’s a little older than 40.”

Still, I can’t blame her.

I may not be self-conscious yet, but that could change anytime.

Nevertheless, when it comes to my parents, it’s my job to show my affection by offering euthanasia with each birthday gift I give them from age 45 onward.

Unwillingness to disclose age, oddly, tends to then reverse itself when people reach 65 or 70 years old. Perhaps it’s the obvious physical signs of aging that makes them simply give up hiding their ages at this point, or maybe it’s simply the fact that they’ve reached an adequate age of wisdom, venerability and discount tickets at the movie theater.

Perhaps any self-conscious feelings I will have about my age will reverse themselves at that point too. I hope so, because I have every intention of being a crazy old man someday, making my grandchildren uncomfortable with weird practical jokes.

T O T HE E DITOR Trees

Cutting down problem trees solves powerline, woodstove supply issues In the Dec. 22 issue of The Press, there were two articles that need to be addressed. There was one about trees knocking out the power to many residences. The other one was a letter to the editor addressing burning of wood.

Both seem to address the impact of the tree huggers’ policies on other people’s way of life.

If the trees were cut out along the power lines, the many wind storms that transverse the area would not cause so much discomfort for so many people, each and every year. These tree cuttings could be used by those people with wood burning stoves and/or fireplaces as a source of heat energy that comes from a renewable source.

Also, some of these fallen trees damage homes and endanger people’s lives.

But some, it seems, believe it is better to save a tree over the potential damage they can cause.

The letter writer, being an anti-wood burning advocate and a suspected tree hugger, does not seem to care that oil and gas is not used by everyone to heat their domiciles during the anti-global warming winters. His policy is to stop trees from being cut for potential heat energy and let them blow over and take out the aboveground power lines or damage homes, thus putting people in dangerous situations. He stated that one cannot leave his or her windows open because of wood smoke. Who opens their windows when it is cold outside and runs up the heating bill?

give it to people who do no work, burden my grandchildren with debt, and pass a health care bill that will cause me trouble.

I became frustrated, then mad. I became politically active. I helped organize a Tea Party and have since been to Washington, D.C., to advocate for less-intrusive government. I have been to the state capital to protest higher taxes.

I waived flags and door belled for candidates that shared my values. Not once did I carry a demeaning poster or impugn anyone’s character.

I am being accused of being an accomplice to the attempted murder of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. On “Meet the Press,” Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, DFla., implied the Tea Party was responsible for the horrific killings. Nobody challenged her!

The liberal media, following the template, are accusing conservative talk shows, Fox News, Sarah Palin and the Tea Party for the “inflammatory rhetoric” that caused a man to shoot Giffords and others at a political event.

All these accusations are without any facts.

Turns out the shooter appears to be a leftleaning nut case and a drug user.

So far, I have not heard anyone on the right try to tie him to the political left. Why? Because the facts do not support it. It’s fair to ask, Who is it that has politicized this terrible and tragedy?

I haven’t. The Tea Party hasn’t. The Republicans haven’t. The conservative media hasn’t.

Who’s left? (No pun intended.) You know who you are and you should hang your head in shame. It’s despicable.

I am a Tea Party member. That association makes me an accomplice to attempted murder, according to liberals. I may just as well have placed the gun in the shooter’s hands and pulled the trigger. I hope the police do not take me away for questioning.

I think this an honorable project that Nate has completed! This young man is an example of what younger people can do to contribute to a literate society with their spare time. My gut tells me that this young man will go far in life and be respected by his peers.

Bravo!

Science and language arts curriculum update planned

By Laura Geggel Issaquah Press reporter

GET INVOLVED

The Issaquah School District is preparing to adopt new curricula this June: one for elementary school science and another for high school language arts.

District administrators try to update curricula every seven years, but sometimes budget cuts get in the way. The elementary science curriculum was last updated in 2003, but the wait has been longer for high school language arts — it was last updated during a three-year period from 1999-2001.

Some parents said they felt unsettled after last year’s math curriculum adoption, saying the district did not allow them enough input, especially because a group of parents disagreed with the curriculum that the Issaquah School Board approved.

This year, district administrators inserted an extra step in the adoption process: a parent preview night.

At the preview nights, parents can thumb through various curricula and write feedback on comment cards next to each station.

The step is one of many the district takes when adopting a new curriculum.

Preview the publishers that could be used in your child’s classroom.

Both previews will be presented at the district Administration Building, 565 N.W. Holly St. Elementary school science, 4:307:30 p.m. March 11

Waiting seven years for each adoption is standard for the district, Executive Director of Teaching and Learning Emilie Hard said.

By the end of seven years, textbooks begin to show wear after hundreds of students have used them. Information becomes outdated, effective teaching practices evolve, technology changes and state standards adjust, she added.

“There is research that is done on an ongoing basis, and we want to stay as current as possible to give our students in Issaquah the best possible experience we can,” she said.

Some subjects, such as health or technology classes, have curriculua that are updated annually, ensuring they comply with state stan-

While district administrators are still unsure of the price for this year’s adoptions, last year’s chemistry curriculum adoption materials cost $120,000.

The Issaquah Schools Foundation has pledged it will use money raised during its Calling for Kids campaign to help pay for the elementary science curriculum adoption.

Hard said the recent budget cuts from the Legislature’s special session in December — a loss totaling $1 million for the Issaquah district — and the predicted $3.1 million the district could lose in 2011-12 if state legislators approve Gov. Chris Gregoire’s 2011-13 budget, are not expected to affect the curriculum adoptions.

How the process works Once the district determined it would proceed with two curriculum changes, it sent surveys to parents in June 2010. Parents answered questions about their children’s interests and abilities in science or language arts, and asked whether families liked the current curriculum.

The district then posted the survey responses on the district website.

After the survey, the district formed two committees — one for science and another for language arts. Each committee has one community representative from each of the district’s five areas, plus teachers and representatives serving specific student populations, including special-needs students and gifted students.

The committees decided the evaluation protocols, first seeing if each curriculum met state standards and later making sure the material was not biased toward one gender, if it was easy to understand, if it had online components for both students and parents and if it would appeal to students and teachers.

The top materials they choose will make appearances in Issaquah classrooms during a field test peri-

od. The committee asks teachers, students and parents to provide them feedback, seeing if the lessons were clear yet challenging.

During that time, the district will invite the community to two parent preview nights.

Using feedback from both the field tests and the preview nights, the committee will look at its resources one last time, and then make a recommendation to the Instructional Materials Committee.

The committee — composed of community members, teachers and librarians — will review the recommendation and make sure the committee properly carried out its work. Parents can also look at the recommendations at the district’s Administration Building during a two-week period: from May 24 to June 7 for high school language arts, and from June 9-23 for the elementary science curriculum.

If the IMC approves the work, it will send the recommendations the school board in June. If not, the committee goes back to square one, starting the process over again.

Metro offers data to riders King County residents and Metro Transit riders can track bus ridership, vehicle breakdowns, accident rates and how often buses arrive on time, as the transit agency rolls out performance data to the public.

Metro Transit offers Monthly Performance Measures — graphs and data about ridership trends, service quality measures, safety and security data, and some financial information at metro.kingcounty.gov/am/report s/monthly-measures.

The website launched Jan. 10. The agency plans to update some statistics monthly and other reports on a regular basis.

“As a public agency, Metro Transit is accountable to the people we serve,” Metro Transit General Manager Kevin Desmond said in a statement.

“We want to make it easy for our customers and others to find information about our performance, and see how we are measuring up to our targeted goals.”

Staffers developed the website during the past year.

Offering the performance information to the public is a recommendation from the Regional Transit Task Force. (Issaquah Councilman Fred Butler served on the task force.)

Desmond said he hopes to see the website evolve over time, and include more data and other information.

Also, if salmon go extinct, other animals that rely on salmon for food will starve. Besides, if salmon go extinct, we could not have Salmon Days, because there would be no salmon to welcome back to Issaquah Creek. Also, salmon are fascinating to study about.

The most important reason though, is that when we take care of the salmon’s habitat, we take care of our own, the habitat of other animals too.

I would be so proud if we could work together to keep the salmon environment healthy. For all of these reasons, people should do what they can to help the salmon environment. Thank you for helping.

Issaquah man faces charges in Metro Transit vanpool crash

By Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporter

Turning back the clock The project is the latest upgrade for a landmark theater to reach The Sign Factory.

The team crafted a sturdier and energy-efficient sign to adorn the Paramount Theatre façade in downtown Seattle. Crews installed the immense, blade-shaped sign in October 2009.

The project is almost complete.

The remaining gargantuan pieces — ready to be installed along the marquee — sit on the shop floor in Kirkland.

In order to restore the First Stage Theatre sign, experts had to repair the rusted metal cabinet, trade old neon tubes for a fresh set and upgrade the electrical guts to 21st century standards.

The initial steps entailed creating detailed stencils and patterns for the painted letters, neon accents and color palette. Then, the team pulled the curled letters from glass fasteners and set out to fashion replacements.

“I feel like I’m bringing up the Titanic!” owner Jeff Risher said just before Christmas, as he bounded across the shop floor to jimmy the old neon tubes from the sign.

The process felt like archaeology at times. The restoration team discovered bird nests amid the innards. Crews stripped paint from the surface layer by layer.

Long decades in harsh Pacific Northwest conditions had exacted a toll on the sign. The bottom segment had to be replaced, because rain pooled in the curved piece in the decades the sign spent perched along Front Street North.

The Sign Factory also beefed up the supports to connect the sign cabinet to the theater façade.

The team then sandblasted, primed and repainted the metal sign cabinet. Then, crews reapplied the chocolate, cream and lemon color ensemble in modern coatings meant to better endure a Western Washington winter.

Prosecutors charged a 27-yearold Issaquah emergency medical technician for smashing a pickup into a King County Metro Transit Rideshare van along Interstate 90 in September.

The early morning crash injured the vanpool passengers and snarled the commute near Issaquah for hours, as emergency crews cut trapped people from the crumpled van.

Douglas Burt Henderson faces a vehicular assault charge for the Sept. 24 incident.

Washington State Patrol investigators said Henderson had been traveling alone in the high-occupancy vehicle lane near Issaquah at the time of the crash.

The pickup rear-ended the Metro Transit van, a Chevrolet Uplander, in the HOV lane at about 5:35 a.m.

The van had been traveling at about 60 mph — the posted speed limit on the interstate near West Lake Sammamish Parkway Southeast — at the time of the incident, court documents state.

The force from the crash propelled the van across three travel lanes and off of the right road shoulder. The van then rolled and came to rest in brush alongside the interstate.

The rollover left three of the seven occupants pinned inside and partially beneath the vehicle. The occupants trapped inside suffered significant injuries, including head

Designer Shellee Miggins still handcrafts neon elements for signs. The process requires a steady hand — and plenty of patience.

“The first Q I made took me three days,” she said. “Now I can do it in about a half hour.”

Miggins uses a flame and elbow grease to turn glass tubes into curlicues and filigrees, letters and numbers.

The restoration team reassembled the sign in early January, after Miggins logged many hours to craft the glass letters and repaint the sign to be faithful to the original.

Miggins and colleague Chris Greytak, a router operator, bent into yogalike positions beneath the sign Jan. 11 to string wiring inside the cabinet. The colleagues used copper wire to secure the curled glass tubes.

Miggins and Greytak completed the task, and the sign radiated in green-and-pink splendor.

injuries and fractured vertebrae.

The crash caused a milelong backup on the eastbound interstate and a three-mile backup in the westbound lanes.

Troopers contacted Henderson as he sat in the pickup. He had the “odor of intoxicants” and then admitted to consuming alcohol in the hours before the crash, court documents state.

Henderson agreed to perform field sobriety tests, but he performed poorly, the documents continue. Investigators said the results of a blood draw conducted at Overlake Hospital Medical Center in Bellevue not long after the accident showed Henderson’s bloodalcohol content to be 0.23 percent, nearly three time the legal limit of 0.08 percent.

Police later booked Henderson into the King County Jail for vehicular assault and driving under the influence. Authorities released him from jail Sept. 28.

Senior Deputy Prosecutor Amy Freedheim has requested for Henderson to be re-arrested and held in lieu of $25,000 bail.

Prosecutors said he should be prohibited from entering liquor stores and be required to use ignitioninterlock devices.

Henderson has no felony history.

Investigators listed his occupation as a technician for a private ambulance company in court documents.

The online election runs from Feb. 15 to March 15. The district has enlisted Election Trust and Scytl Secure Electronic Voting USA to introduce online balloting. The step is a contrast to the in-person polling locations the district has used in low-turnout elections in the past.

The board of supervisors — five residents from inside district boundaries — oversees the district. The board includes three members elected by district residents. The state Conservation Commission appoints the other members.

County seeks volunteers FISH holds steady in 2010, but challenges remain to upgrade habitat along regional trails

By Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporter

King County boasts more than 180 parks, 175 miles of regional trails and 130 miles of backcountry trails — and leaders need citizens’ help soon to maintain the system.

The county Department of Parks and Natural Resources needs volunteers to pitch in to plant native vegetation to enhance stream corridors, forests and wetlands. The process improves wildlife habitat, because the plants provide shade, help keep water cool, and control runoff and erosion.

The agency has numerous projects planned in the Issaquah area — including in 3,115-acre Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park — and in the Issaquah Creek basin.

The upcoming volunteer opportunities run from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

Feb. 5 — Log Cabin Natural Area along Issaquah Creek Feb. 12 — Beaver Lake Natural Area in Enumclaw Feb. 26 — Lower Lions Natural Area along the Cedar River March 5 — Skyway Park March 12 — Tolt-MacDonald Park March 19 — Marymoor

Connector Trail March 26

— Chinook Bend Natural Area along the Snoqualmie River Contact county Parks and Trails Volunteer Coordinator Tina Miller at 206-296-2990 or tina.miller@kingcounty.gov to learn more or to sign up to volunteer.

Citizens can also pitch in to maintain backcountry trails in Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park, Grand Ridge Park near the Issaquah Highlands and Taylor Mountain Forest southeast of Issaquah.

The upcoming volunteer opportunities run from 8:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.

Jan. 25-29 — Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park Feb. 1-5 and Feb. 8-12 — Taylor Mountain Forest Feb. 15-19 and Feb. 22-26 — Grand Ridge Park Contact the nonprofit Washington Trails Association at 206-965-8561 or www.wta.org to learn more about the backcountry trail projects or to sign up to volunteer.

City Council nixes Park Pointe committee as deal nears finish

By Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporter City Council members decided to eliminate the committee responsible for the Park Pointe preservation deal as the council updated the way members conduct business.

The council nixed the Major Planning & Growth Committee and redistributed the responsibilities of the former group Jan. 3. The group handled agreements related to the proposed transfer of development rights between forested Park Pointe on Tiger Mountain and the Issaquah Highlands. The proposal is on track to be completed in the months ahead.

“This last year, there was an awful lot of major activity with the TDR and with the Central Issaquah Plan,” Council President John Traeger said.

“This year, we’re down to the Central Issaquah Plan and it’s kind of in autopilot mode. It’s working on its own timeline now.”

The plan to outline development for more than 900 acres in the business district is due to reach important city boards throughout the year. The city is also engaged in a separate planning effort to set redevelopment goals for almost 90 Rowley Properties-owned acres.

The decision to end the Major Planning & Growth Committee raised questions.

“Maybe it’s just because I live in the highlands, but I feel like there’s enough stuff still happening between that and the stuff with Rowley, that I would have thought that the sunsetting would have occurred later rather than sooner,” Councilman Mark Mullet said.

Councilman Joshua Schaer suggested ad hoc, or temporary, committees as a way to address key growth decisions in 2011.

The council overhauled the committee structure last year. The council president assigns members to the Land & Shore, Services & Safety, Transportation, and Utilities, Technology & Environment committees.

Though the council president handles internal appointments, the full council must decide the representatives on regional groups, such as Eastside Fire & Rescue.

The council also appointed Mullet as a city representative to the group studying a possible regional fire authority on the Eastside.

Memberships buoyed Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery and helped the nonprofit organization finish in the black for 2010, but challenges exist in the year ahead.

The organization experienced a 27 percent increase in funds due to more memberships last year.

Employees reined in expenses and FISH finished about 5 percent under budget estimates for the year. The steps helped to offset a drop in legacy donations last year.

FISH also relies on grant dollars from Issaquah and Sammamish.

Issaquah provides grant dollars to the organization each year, but FISH has lacked a key source of funding since cash-strapped King County dropped funding for the organization last year. FISH used a $23,750 grant from Issaquah to fund operations last year.

“We really count 2010 as a successful year, considering the num-

ber of local nonprofits that either had to close or make cuts because of the dire state of the economy,” FISH Executive Director Gestin Suttle said in a monthly update to members released Jan. 7.

The organization is responsible for conducting educational tours at the state-operated Issaquah Salmon Hatchery during fall salmon runs and the Salmon Days Festival. FISH members also assist in annual salmon-spawning activities and other programs.

King County used to contribute about one-third of the funds used for operations. The county allocated $25,000 to FISH in 2008, and then cut the amount to $15,000 the following year. The county did not steer any dollars to FISH last year, and future funding also seems unlikely.

“Just like everyone, we’re trying to do more with less,” Suttle said in a follow-up interview.

FISH relies on corporate support, too, including dollars from heavyweights such as Microsoft,

Waste Management and the Puget Sound Energy Foundation.

Kiwanis Club of Issaquah members also offer key support to the organization.

“I thank the people whose support and generosity make FISH’s work possible,” Ava Frisinger, FISH board president and Issaquah mayor, said in the update. “We are fortunate, indeed.”

The state budget crisis could also impact the hatchery.

Legislators gathered in Olympia on Jan. 10 for the 105-day session. The state faces a $4.6 billion hole in the 2011-13 budget.

The hatchery is part of the state Department of Fish and Wildlife.

The agency and dozens of others face deep cuts as legislators attempt to close the budget gap.

The hatchery hires a temporary worker to assist in salmon rearing, but the state has not yet authorized the position. In addition, the hatchery staff faces monthly furlough days through

“We really count 2010 as a successful year, considering the number of local nonprofits that either had to close or make cuts because of the dire state of the economy.”

early 2011.

“There is no doubt that FISH is going to have to weather more budget storms in 2011,” Suttle said in the update. “We are again going to tighten our belts, look for even more efficiencies and continue to offer high value for our donors. It’s as important as ever that we are able to provide our educational services to visitors, especially as so many other programs in the community and throughout the state face elimination.”

B USINESS BRIEFS

See’s Candies plans local shop Lovers can pick up some Scotchmallows in time for Valentine’s Day at the See’s Candies under construction in the Issaquah Commons.

The store is expected to open by Feb. 1 in the shopping center along Northwest Gilman Boulevard. The candy shop replaces a teriyaki restaurant in the space.

See’s Candies is known for numerous treats, including the Scotchmallow — marshmallow and caramel enrobed in dark chocolate.

Operators applied for a city building permit at the end of September. Construction started on the store in late November, and city inspectors issued a temporary certificate of occupancy Jan. 5.

The chain also has outposts in Bellevue, Redmond and Seattle.

See’s Candies — based in South San Francisco — operates more than 200 stores throughout the West and the Midwest.

AtWork! hires leadership staffer AtWork! has hired a senior leadership staff member: Karen Walters.

The nonprofit organization is dedicated to helping disabled people learn skills, find and retain jobs.

Plans call for the 6,600-squarefoot commercial space to become Wildfin American Grill.

The tenant plans to add a timber entry structure, space for outdoor dining area and planters. The plan calls for some minor parking modifications. The exterior of the building is also to be modified to include metal canopies, a fresher color scheme and stone wainscoting.

he women could not stop talking about Mary Sutter — the 20-year-old midwife who left home to train as a surgeon during the Civil War. Mary Sutter’s creator, Issaquah author Robin Oliveira, sat demurely on a chair near the kitchen counter, listening to the book club gab about her book between answering questions about her research and characters.

The Issaquah book club had spent the past six weeks reading, “My Name is Mary Sutter,” a fictional account of a woman aspiring to learn about medicine and surgery in the 1860s. Book club member Debbie Bichsel invited author Oliveira to join the discussion of her book at the group’s Jan. 11 meeting.

The book club started after four Issaquah friends held a dinner party in 2004 and quickly discovered they could not stop talking about their reading lists. A book club of four was too small, so they invited friends, bringing their number to nine and doubling the amount of hosts.

Their rules were simple enough — read a new book every six weeks. The moderator of the book discussion hosts the next group and serves dinner, sometimes adapting the menu to the book.

“Writing is rewriting.”

— Robin Oliveira

By Alysha Alibhai

BY GREG FARRAR

The members of a local book club sit down to one of their regular dinners to discuss ‘My Name is Mary Sutter,’ which they spent six weeks reading before meeting their invited guest, Issaquah author Robin Oliveira.

Issaquah author

Bichsel kept the tradition alive for “My Name is Mary Sutter,” pouring the women a popular anesthetic during the Civil War — a shot of whiskey.

Knowing they would meet the author caused some of the women to read the book differently.

“I was so enamored with the idea that I knew the woman who wrote this book,” Bichsel said.

“I’m not a writer and I’m so impressed by people who write so beautifully.”

The group agreed Oliveira writes beautifully, although she learned later in life. Like her character, Mary Sutter, Oliveira grew up in Albany, N.Y., and went into health care, earning a nursing degree. She moved to Issaquah in 1990 and stayed home to care for her two children.

“When my son went to kindergarten, I started teaching myself how to write,” she said. Oliveira attended Bellevue College, University of Washington extension classes in fiction and eventually received her Masters in Fine Arts in writing from the Vermont College of Fine Arts.

One day, an image came to her of a woman peering through a mi-

Oliveira began researching women in science and found a group of women who became physicians after their experiences in the Civil War. That, she decided, would be the basis for her story.

She flew to Albany, Civil War battlefields and Washington, D.C., where she accessed the National Archives, sifting through 150-yearold materials from hospitals in the

capital, including ledgers cataloguing admissions and papers detailing doctor contracts. She traveled to the Library of Congress and read the personal letters of Dorothy Dix, the woman who served as the Superintendent of Army Nurses for the Union during the war.

Research was only stage one in the seven years it took her to write the book, though two of those years were spent at gradu-

ate school.

“I rewrote the book three times,” Oliveira said. “Each chapter was probably rewritten 10 times. Writing is rewriting.”

Along the way, she received the James Jones First Novel Fellowship for a work-in-progress.

Community Church donates 200 pounds of food

Grace Longton (left), a longtime Community Church of Issaquah member, and Dawn Bonker, of Seattle Union Gospel Mission, load 200 pounds of food collected by church members into the gospel mission van.

olunteers carried boxes overflowing with JellO, Cheerios and Tuna Helper from the Community Church of Issaquah to the Seattle Union Gospel Mission van waiting outside. In a period of two months, the congregation collected more than 200 pounds of food for the mission in a drive that united the church in its quest to help others.

Mission Major Gifts Officer Dawn Bonker thanked the church for its gift.

“We can’t function without volunteer support,” she said. “We serve 1,200 meals a day and the majority of that is donated food.”

The Christian-based mission is the only shelter in King County that offers three meals a day,

seven days a week, and numerous services, including educational tutoring for homeless children, drug and alcohol recovery programs for men and women, and a dental clinic staffed by volunteer dentists and technicians.

Free meals are served throughout the day, with breakfast between 7:30 and 9 a.m., lunch starting at 11:30 a.m. and dinner beginning at 5:30 p.m. at the Union Gospel Mission men’s shelter at 318 Second Ave. Extended S., Seattle.

Charlotte Scherer, chairwoman of the Women’s Mission Fellowship at the church, said that she and her friends were thrilled to donate to a good cause. There was so much donated food, she had to make several weigh-ins on her bathroom scale.

Grace Longton has attended the church since the 1940s, when her

The ‘Zone’ marks the spot for online tutors

By Sebastian Moraga Issaquah Press reporter County libraries want children and adults in a zone. The Study Zone.

The tutoring program now offers online help to students in grades kindergarten through 12.

Children can now meet at the library virtually with their tutors, using library computers.

The yearlong program of in-person tutoring will continue at all King County Library System branches, including Issaquah and Sammamish.

Jessica Gomes, Issaquah teen services librarian, said students who seek the help of volunteer tutors will develop study habits, get homework done sooner and have someone to look over their work.

Tutors will also benefit, she said. High school students who volunteer can add it to their college résumés. Adults who volunteer can connect with youths.

“It’s a pretty chill atmosphere for them,” Gomes said.

Prospective tutors will be subjected to a background check by the Washington State Patrol, according to the program’s website. Those chosen will undergo a li-

brary-issued orientation.

Most tutors can handle kindergarten through eighth-grade material, and people who have an expertise, such as high school English or chemistry, can opt to help students taking advanced classes.

The program will run until June 16, and then go on hiatus until July 5. Then, a summer session will run until Aug. 26.

Tutors must be at least high school juniors. Students must be at least in kindergarten.

parents Edith and Albert Dahlby led it at its old location near the Darigold plant in downtown Issaquah.

Just as it did years ago, church members reach out to the community to help those in need.

Every year, the Women’s Mission Fellowship holds a drive — recently collecting food for the Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank and toys for underserved Issaquah children.

The Rev. Keith Madsen, the church’s new pastor, praised those who donated to the drive.

“I think it’s just wonderful,” he said. “I think the most important thing about a church is that it does things, it doesn’t just talk about doing things.”

Do you run a business? Chances are, you have a website and maybe even do business online. If so, an upcoming free marketing workshop at the Issaquah Library might be for you.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 87 percent of American adults had access to the Internet in 2009. Web-based vendors have an increasing share of the marketplace. Online marketing has IF YOU GO become a strong economic force Online for both busimarketing nesses and concourse sumers wishing Issaquah to buy and sell Library, 10 W. their goods on the Web. Sunset Way The work 7-9 p.m. shop, from 7-9 Jan. 25 p.m. Jan. 25, is being offered as a response to this economic trend.

The workshop, by GoGoPin, “is back due to customer demand,” Issaquah Librarian Mark Shields said. “The presenter of the upcoming program, Danny Chun, offers a creative way for people to market their products or services.”

GoGoPin, an online resource that provides easy tools and services for users to create Web content, is facilitating the event.

According to president and founder Chun, businesses often face difficulty when creating ads to sell their products online. Outsourcing the job can be costly, and doing it yourself often requires the use of challenging tech tools.

“We wanted to make this task easy so that anyone can do it as long as [they] know how to use a keyboard and a mouse,” Chun wrote in an e-mail. “We do the library event to tell business owners out there that there is an easy tool to create an ad or business website, which they can learn in an hour or so and use for free.”

GoGoPin tries to “help small businesses take advantage of technology” in an attempt to level the playing field, Chun added.

The library frequently holds a wide range of events geared for the needs of the community, said Philis Bodle, head librarian for the Issaquah Library.

Since the spike in unemployment, “more people are coming to the library to borrow materials because they have less income, but also to work on resumes and look for jobs,” Shields said.

Alysha Alibhai is a student in the University of Washington Department of Communication News Laboratory.

Habitat seeks volunteers for Issaquah, Renton sites Habitat for Humanity of East King County is in the midst of construction on homes in the Issaquah Highlands and the Renton Highlands.

The nonprofit organization seeks volunteers to help build homes at the construction sites. As an enticement, Habitat has created the Chilly Chili Challenge. During the event, volunteers chow down on a hot lunch of chili, soup and other goodies donated by local businesses and churches.

The event is scheduled for the Issaquah construction site on Thursdays through Feb. 10. The event comes to the Renton construction site Jan. 27.

Volunteers can register at the Habitat website, www.habitatekc.org, or send questions to volunteer@habitatekc.org.

Habitat coordinators broke ground for the Renton Highlands project last June. Plans call for the community, called La Fortuna, to include 41 homes. The organization is also nearing completion on Issaquah Highlands homes.

Habitat also plans to rolls out the Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative in communities near the La Fortuna neighborhood in the months ahead. Through the program, Habitat plans to assist low-income families in updating homes though weatherization, “green” building practices and home repairs.

Rural residents can file police reports, track crime online

By Tim Pfarr Issaquah Press reporter Residents in unincorporated and rural areas served by the King County Sheriff’s Office can used Web-based resources to report minor crimes and track crime in the region.

The sheriff’s office website offers a new feature known as Report to Sheriff, which allows residents to notify police of incidents by typing reports on their computers rather than by waiting on hold on the phone.

Through Report to Sheriff, residents can file and print reports for general property theft, mail theft, identity theft, bicycle theft, car prowls, vandalism and suspicious circumstances. They can also anonymously report narcotics activity or file traffic complaints.

To report an incident, there must not be a suspect nor evidence left by a suspect. It also mustn’t have occurred on a state freeway or King County Metro Transit or Sound Transit bus.

If the crime is in progress or it

is an emergency, the site reminds residents to dial 911.

Newcastle Police Chief Melinda Irvine said the new system should be helpful to those who are victims of minor crimes. “When people want to file a report over the phone these days, the wait can be long,� she said, adding that the convenience of the new system should encourage people to report minor crimes when they may not otherwise do so. “We want to know when crimes and activities are occurring,� she said.

In October, the sheriff’s office and its 13 contract cities joined the website Crime Reports, which pinpoints crimes and sex offenders on a map driven by Google Maps.

The site also links to the state sex offender registry, which gives details about each sex offender’s convictions.

The site also allows users to track trends in given areas, and sort crimes by type, date and location. Users can also sign up

ON THE WEB Report crimes online at

www.reporttosheriff.org and track crimes across the region at www.crimereports.com.

Learn more about what crimes can be reported online at the Report to Sheriff website. Or call the King County Sheriff’s Office nonemergency line at 206-296-3311.

for crime alerts. Some independent police departments, such as Renton, have also joined the site, allowing users to see crime data across jurisdictions.

The site also has an iPhone application. “It’s a great way for people to look at their area and see what criminal activity may or may not be around it,� Irvine said.

Is produce losing its punch?

Healthy choices remain as studies find nutrients in vegetables are in decline

By Elizabeth DeVos ating the recommended two cups of fruits and twoand-a-half cups of vegetables may no longer be enough to get the nutrients that our bodies need in order to survive.

A little more than a decade ago, Anne-Marie Mayer conducted research on 20 United Kingdombased crops from 1930-1980.

What she found was that the mineral concentrations in fruits and vegetables were decreasing.

No longer is produce as healthy as once thought.

The decrease in nutritional value is not just centered in British crops, but crops in the United States, as well.

In 2004, University of Texas research assistant Donald Davis looked at data from 43 different varieties of produce from 19501999. Davis found that in 1950 broccoli had 130 milligrams of calcium, today that amount has dropped to just 48 milligrams.

Calcium isn’t the only nutrient decreasing in produce. Davis’ study found that protein, phosphorus, iron, riboflavin, vitamin C and many other nutrients are declining.

A customer and a store worker share a conversation at a table of the early-season offerings during the 2009 opening day at Newcastle Fruit and Produce.

Still, people looking for a snack shouldn’t shy away from today’s produce.

“Even though they say that the nutrients are less, the amount of nutrients in food is still very high,” said Barbara Phippard, a clinical dietitian at Virginia Mason Issaquah. “People shouldn’t be afraid that food doesn’t contain any nutrition.”

Many Americans wonder why nutrients are disappearing.

Due to the high demand from

consumers for bigger produce items, farmers are selectively breeding and using synthetic fertilizers to help their crops grow not only bigger, but faster, too. By speeding up the growing process, produce does not have the time to develop the nutrients or absorbed them from the soil.

According to Jeanne Cullen, a clinical dietitian at Overlake Hospital Outpatient, it is recommended that consumers buy organic fruits and vegetables be-

cause they are more nutrient dense.

“If more people start buying organic, then there will be a high demand for organic farms,” she said. “And more organic farmers will help drive the prices down.”

Most people can tell the difference in taste quality of conventionally grown produce versus organically grown.

King County health panel stamps out e-cigarettes King County Board of Health members restricted sales and use of electronic cigarettes last month.

The e-cigarette is a battery-powered device designed to deliver a nicotine-based and flavored liquid vapor.

The board voted unanimously to restrict the sales of e-cigarettes or any other unapproved nicotine delivery devices only to people 18 and older. The board prohibited free or highly discounted electronic smoking devices or unapproved nicotine delivery products.

The use of e-cigarette devices in places where smoking is prohibited by law is also banned.

“I am pleased that the Board of Health acted today to prohibit the sale of e-cigarettes to youth and to restrict their use in public spaces,” Board of Health Chairwoman Julia Patterson, a county councilwoman, said in a statement. “E-cigarettes are used as a means to encourage people, especially our youth, to begin smoking. Their safety and long-term health impacts are untested and unknown.”

The e-cigarettes carry a special appeal to youth. They are sold in convenience stores and mall kiosks and come in candy flavors, including chocolate, vanilla and mint.

“The Board of Health’s responsibility is to create policies that foster the health and well being of our community, and today’s action will help achieve that objective,”

Patterson said.

The federal Food & Drug Administration is investigating ecigarettes, but the products remain unregulated at the federal level.

“This Board of Health proposal is a reasonable step to protect youth immediately in King County while federal authorities continue to look into these products,” Dr. David Fleming, director and health officer for Public Health – Seattle & King County, said in the statement. “Through this regulation, young people in King County have one less opportunity to get hooked on nicotine.”

The federal government has warned e-cigarettes can increase nicotine addiction among young people and may lead youth to try conventional tobacco products.

“The Board of Health’s action will help protect our youth from the addictive effects of nicotine,” Dr. Bud Nicola, a board member, said in a statement.

The devices mimic the appearance of regular cigarettes, because the user exhales a smoke-like vapor similar in appearance to the exhaled smoke from a cigarette.

The use is almost indistinguishable from the use of traditional tobacco products in public, causing the potential for confusion for people who use traditional tobacco See E-CIGARETTES, Page B5

Buying produce directly from farmers, at a local farmers market, can be a cheaper alternative than buying organic. These farmers might be in a transitional stage from conventionally grown crops to organic crops. There are also many local farms that allow people to essentially own a share of the farm. In turn these shareowners are able to go to the farm once a week and purchase produce directly from the farm, according to Tarynne Mingione, a registered dietitian and clinical nutrition specialist at Swedish Medical Center in Issaquah.

The 2011 farmers market runs from April 16 to Oct. 8.

Buy bold or brightly colored produce, because these richly colored crops will contain a higher number of healthy photochemicals.

Consumers can also try a different color, because colorful produce has more antioxidants. Always consume produce within a week of purchasing it.

To get the most nutrients out of your fruits and vegetables, it’s suggested that they are not boiled in water and cooked, but rather steamed, or cooked in a stir-fry with olive oil.

Eagles finally return to home floor Olivia Goree leads Issaquah to second-place on senior night

By Christopher Huber Issaquah Press reporter

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 19, 2011

Liberty grapplers’ comeback comes up short in pin bid over Bellevue Josh Muttart thrills with emotional pin in first match after injury

Olivia Goree capped off Issaquah High School’s first home gymnastics meet in a couple of years Jan. 13 by winning the floor competition.

Not only did her score of 9.8 help her garner a fourth-place finish in the all around rankings, but it put a nice little highlight on the team’s senior night of recognition, coach Ryan Fleisher said.

“It was a nice little neat and tidy bow at the end of the meet,” Fleisher said.

Bothell won the meet with 168.4 points, Issaquah took second with 167.85, Roosevelt scored 160.55 and Eastlake was fourth with its highest score of the year at 135.1.

The meet was Issaquah’s first and only home meet of the season.

“Getting that home meet was awesome,” Fleisher said.

Issaquah celebrated its senior night with strong performances from standout Goree, Anna Fairhart and A.J. Bowers. Goree placed fourth in the all-around competition after she tallied 35.35 total points in the four events.

Fairhart took fifth with 33.95 and Bowers placed sixth with a score of 33.85.

Issaquah lost to Bothell by just 0.55 points.

“It’s always tight between us and Bothell,” said Fleisher. “Olivia is always a standout. But even she’s trying new things.”

Goree led the Eagles with a first-place finish in the floor competition (9.8 points). She tied for fourth place in the beam event after scoring a 9.05. She and Bowers both scored an 8.3 in the bars routine and tied for fourth place.

Heading into the final four matches of the Liberty High School wrestling team’s final home meet of the year Jan. 13, the scene was grim. Bellevue High School wrestlers had manhandled the Patriots most of the evening, dampening Liberty’s spirits.

But when Liberty junior Hamilton Noel took to the mat, it was as if the Patriots’ passion had been reignited. It was the beginning of a thrilling late-meet comeback, and although it was not enough to get the win, it made the 46-35 3A/2A KingCo Conference loss feel slightly less painful.

In the first round of the 152pound weight class match between Noel and Bellevue’s Colin Small, Noel lifted Small from his feet, slamming him hard into the mat. Liberty fans cheered in excitement, and for two rounds, Noel dominated Small with brute force, winning 19-3 by technical fall.

Liberty senior Jay Chakravarty followed Noel in the 160-pound weight class match, facing off against Bellevue’s Sam Bassford.

The match was a quick one, as Chakravarty was on his game, pinning Bassford in the first round.

Next came the 171-pound weight class match, and time for Liberty senior Josh Muttart’s first — and likely last — match of the season. Muttart tore his ACL playing soccer last spring, and doctors cleared him to begin playing sports again Jan. 1.

Although they told him wrestling was risky and could jeopardize this year’s soccer season, Muttart simply could not give

up on wrestling.

“It’s been heartbreaking, but I told myself I need to wrestle at least once,” he said.

He took the mat with his knee braced and padded, facing off against Bellevue’s Jamey Mange.

Muttart and Mange grappled in the first round, and Mange took a 2-0 lead. In the second round, Mange increased his lead to 7-0.

In the third round, Muttart came out with a burst of energy, keeping Mange on the mat and bringing the hollering fans to their feet.

Muttart finally had Mange pinned, and in accordance with a deafening roar of excitement from the crowd, the referee slapped the mat to end the match.

After the victory, he was treated to embraces from several teammates.

“I started off slow, but this is what wrestling’s all about,” Muttart said after the match. “You can be the strongest guy in the world, but it doesn’t matter. If you have the biggest heart, you just can’t beat that. That’s what I was trying to do today.”

Muttart said he doesn’t plan to wrestle again this year, as not to See GRAPPLERS, Page B7

Shorthanded Issaquah girls fall to seventh-ranked Bellarmine, 64-37

By Sandy Ringer Seattle Times staff reporter They wore her number on their arms and carried her spirit in their hearts.

The fourth-ranked Issaquah Eagles wanted nothing more than to win this game for their fallen leader, senior point guard Blaire Brady, who suffered a knee injury Jan. 14. But inspiration and intention weren't enough against a

multitalented Bellarmine Prep team in the Northwest All-Stars Assist for Live girls basketball event Jan. 15 at Steilacoom High School.

No. 7 Bellarmine, with three NCAA Division I players, rolled to a 64-37 victory.

The Eagles (8-4), who had not lost to an in-state team this season, managed to play the Lions even at 14-14 through the first eight-and-a-half minutes — de-

spite 10 turnovers and a mysterious call that resulted in the ejection of another starter, Mackenzie Schlitz.

But Bellarmine roared away from there.

"We had the effort there," senior Maddey Pflaumer said. "It was just the execution that didn't work out."

An official said Schlitz threw a punch while jostling down court with a Bellarmine player, which

she denied and none of the coaches saw. She was ejected just two minutes into the game.

"It just broke our back," Issaquah coach Kathy Gibson said.

"After (Friday) night, it just took the wind out of our sails."

Brady, a three-year starter who has signed a letter of intent with Idaho State, does so many things for the Eagles, averaging 11 points, six rebounds, six steals and two assists.

"We're definitely a different team without her," Gibson said.

Brady was scheduled to see a doctor Jan. 17 to assess the injury.

That night, Issaquah had a key KingCo 4A makeup game with Inglemoor, which is partly why Gibson pulled her starters midway through the third quarter.

Pflaumer wound up leading Issaquah with nine points. Bellarmine got big performances from Sarah Hartwell (19 points, seven

rebounds) and Simonne Potts (18 points, seven rebounds, six steals, three blocks).

The Eagles defeated Redmond 64-36 Jan. 14 in a league contest.

Pflaumer led Issaquah with 17 points and Aimee Brakken added 10 points. Issaquah shot to a 116 first quarter lead and pulled away to boost its league record to 6-0.

Wolves girls basketball team overcomes Spartans, wins 45-33 A scrum of Eastlake and Skyline basketball players wrestles for ball possession during the third quarter Jan. 14. As the game went on, both teams struggled to control the ball.

BY CHRISTOPHER HUBER

By Christopher Huber Issaquah Press reporter As the clock ran out in the Eastlake High School gymnasium, the Skyline High School defense tried to make something work. The Spartans had pressed hard all game and fought for the team’s fair share of turnovers. But Eastlake sent junior guard Caleigh McCabe to the line three times in the final 1 minute, 39 seconds. She made four of six and put the score out of reach.

It was a physical battle Jan. 14, but the Wolves won it with strong rebounding, while the shots just wouldn’t fall for Skyline.

Eastlake beat cross-town rivals Skyline 45-33 to improve to 5-2 in 4A KingCo competition and 10-

2 overall and stand in second place behind the Issaquah Eagles.

The Spartans went to 4-4 in KingCo and 10-5 overall, currently in third place in the Crest Division.

“This is a little surprising for us,” Skyline coach Greg Bruns said. “We’ve been in every single game.”

They weren’t in this one for long. The teams went into the second quarter tied at 10-10. But Eastlake pulled away from there, leading by eight at halftime — the score at 24-16 — and maintaining a comfortable seven- to 10-point lead throughout the second quarter.

The key for Eastlake was staying focused on the plan and winning the battle in the paint, coach Sara

Goldie said. And the girls did that.

“We stuck to the game plan,” said Goldie. “It’s a big win because it’s a division win.”

McCabe led scorers at halftime with eight points. Teammate Sam Naluai had six points and made four of six free throws.

Skyline’s Haley Smith, a sophomore guard, went into the halftime break with six points, but scored only two more in the second half, thanks to Eastlake’s scrappy defense.

“We were a lot better in the second half and kicked it up,” Eastlake’s McCabe said.

Skyline also kicked it up a bit, but missed most short shots it See SPARTANS, Page B7

Eastlake gets surprise 54-50 win over Skyline Just when it looked like the Skyline High School boys basketball team was headed for a share of the lead in the 4A KingCo Conference Crest Division standings, the Spartans ran into Sammamish Plateau rival Eastlake.

Eastlake, which had been in the cellar with Issaquah, surprised the Spartans 54-50 Jan. 14 and snapped the Spartans’ three-game winning streak.

Skyline led 32-28 at halftime but Eastlake surged ahead in the third quarter, outscoring the Spartans 19-10.

Brandon Lester, of Eastlake, led all players with 21 points. Eastlake went to 2-5 in league action.

Lucas Shannon topped Skyline with 18 points. Will Parker contributed 13 points and Kasen Williams 10 points.

Skyline dropped to 5-2 in league play and remained in second place in the Crest Division, one game behind Newport and Redmond.

The Spartans whipped visiting Roosevelt 55-32 Jan. 13. Williams led Skyline with 16 points and Shannon added 13 points. Max

Browne and Bryan Cikatz each had seven points.

Skyline took control of the game early by grabbing a 17-8 first quarter lead. The Spartans led by 11 points at halftime.

In other action last week, Issaquah fell to visiting Redmond 66-60 Jan. 14. Redmond blew open a close game in the third quarter by outscoring the Eagles 22-11. Nick Price and Brian Watson each had 15 points for Issaquah, which dropped to 1-6 in league play.

In 3A/2A KingCo play, Liberty fell to host Sammamish 79-52 Jan. 14. The Patriots stayed close to Sammamish through the first quarter but fell behind by 12 points in the second period and never caught up. Chandler Jenkins paced Liberty with 21 points. Tynan Gilmore added 14 points.

Issaquah lost to Garfield 96-89 Jan. 14 at Evers Pool in Seattle.

Joining Matsuda on the 400 freestyle relay were Kersten, Melody and Ruggles. The relay had a winning time of 3:27.10 and continued to get closer to the state-qualifying standard of 3:26.90.

The Eagles completed their

week Jan. 15 by competing in the Kentridge Invitational. Issaquah placed eighth out of 37 teams.

Issaquah had no first-place winners. However, the Eagles did get state-qualifying times with a sixthplace in the 200 medley relay (1:43.33), an eighth-place finish in the 400 freestyle relay (3:23.12) from Ruggles, who was eighth in the 200 freestyle (1:49.43) and fifth in the 100 breaststroke (1:02.91), and from Matsuda, who took fifth in the 100 butterfly (54.65).

Liberty swimmers sink Saints Luke Duschl won two events and anchored the winning 400 freestyle relay Jan. 13 as the Liberty High School boys swimming team topped visiting Interlake 9189 in a thrilling 3A KingCo Conference meet at Julius Boehm Pool.

“They really picked up the press in the second half. But we found the open spaces,” McCabe said. “I think we just wanted it more, and it showed on the court.”

Bothell team. The Eagles have always done well on the floor exercise and are growing in the beam competition.

“We’re just continuing to build,” said Fleisher. “I feel like the things we tried worked out. But still lots of room for improvement.”

Eastlake has been working to improve in all areas this season, but it saw the greatest improvement in beam routines.

“I think our best event was beam,” Eastlake coach Jennette Fuller said. “It wasn’t the highest, score-wise, but we’ve improved on beam and it has been a confidence killer in past meets.”

No Eastlake gymnasts finished in the top three among the fourteam competition, but Fuller said this meet, overall, was a confidence booster.

Senior Bianca Barr led Eastlake in every category. She scored an

Liberty Manny Brown said momentum played a large role in meet, as most of the lightweight classes wrestled first, followed by the heavier classes, in which Liberty is more dominate.

“It’s kind of a rough way to end senior night,” he said.

Brown said he was proud of the seniors’ drive throughout their high school careers.

“They’ve worked hard going to clubs and camps to help make Liberty what we are today.”

Although the Patriots’ home matches are now complete, the team has several road meets before the KingCo qualifying meet Jan. 29. Next, they face off against Mount Si High School on the road Jan. 20.

“They have great press,” she said about the Spartan defense.

“We needed to stop their transition.”

Lacey Nicholson, Skyline’s sophomore guard, led Spartan scorers with nine points, while Smith had eight. Averaging a double-double per game, junior post Megan Weideman was not a factor against Eastlake. She finished with five points and, less than 10 rebounds, Bruns said.

In addition to McCabe’s 12 points, junior post Kendra Morrison had 10 points for the Wolves.

Noel won the 152-pound match by defeating Joseph Coronell, of Federal Way, 6-4. En route to the ti-

Organizers hope schoolwide 5K run inspires life fitness

By Laura Geggel Issaquah Press reporter

T Eastside FC takes on Eastside hunger The girls playing for the Eastside Premier Soccer Club joined forces for a Halloween food drive, challenging their rival teams to see who had the most giving spirit. Coach Dab Bubar’s G’97 Blue girls team won the challenge for the second year in a row. Coach Tom Turner’s G’97 White team took second place.

Hopelink has reported it is serving 14 percent more people this year, equating to 18,383 individuals who need a helping hand. The Eastside FC teams collected and donated more than 1,400 pounds of food to local area food banks after their drives.

“It was great to see our soccer club rally together for a good cause. There’s a feeling here of commitment to one another and to the community,” Blue Team manager Susan McGinnis said.

The Blue team girls include Coach Bubar, Riley Dean, Jessica Freeman, Kelsey Yin, Anna McGinnis, Kendall Zack, Hanna Lund, Meredith Troy, Taylor Martinez, Abby Olson, Brianna Gergen, Jenna Weber, Joselyn Heffron and Pawehi Cloutier.

he temperature hovered in the mid 30s, but that didn’t stop 621 Issaquah High School students from lacing up their shoes and donning their purple sweatshirts for the first schoolwide 5K run Jan.

11.

Sophomore Madison Wernik admitted the course was challenging, but said, “I was kind of excited, actually. It just seems like a good idea. It unifies us.”

Teachers Buddy Bland and Brenda Middleton spearheaded the run. Both are working on their National Board Certification and had to describe how they connected students with their school and community. To them, the run seemed like the perfect opportunity. The school used an assembly schedule so students would not miss class, and then required all physical education classes to participate, and invited the rest of the students at the school to run.

The race went so well the school plans to have another 5K this spring, Bland said.

“We know that 5Ks are life fitness events,” he said. “We thought we would have one to encourage kids to do these types of events in the future.”

Most participants ran because the race was mandatory for them, but a few volunteers, including junior Yeufef Tuku, ran just for kicks.

“It’s fun, it’s healthy,” Tuku said.

Some students resisted the race, saying

Art study takes students from illusions to surrealism

By Christopher Huber Issaquah Press reporter Art Walk chairwoman Monica Rockwell waited for Sunny Hills Elementary School fourth-graders to enter her makeshift art gallery with excitement in her eyes.

Rockwell was waiting to share her passion for the arts with the eager students on the second of the school’s two-day Art Walk

event Jan. 11. The Sunny Hills PTA sponsors six Art Walks throughout the year, and an allschool art fair every other year.

“The third-, fourth- and fifthgraders are really receptive when it comes to art,” Rockwell said before teacher Jane Ulrich’s fourthgraders entered the conference room-turned gallery.

The Jan. 10-11 Art Walk was the fourth of the year and, this time fo-

Outstanding high school reflects 1,800 accomplishments Every high school has a reputation that is acknowledged by their students and usually mocked by schools around them.

As current Spartans, we are extremely passionate about our school. With a three-peat, Ivy League students, a Presidential Scholar, you name it — we have it.

Looking at Skyline High School from the outside, it can be seen as the classic, affluent high school.

Take a deeper look into the 1,800 students, though, and it becomes apparent that Skyline has more to offer than a championship winning football team.

There is the financial genius who figured out how to afford

said they enjoyed the 5K. “I hate running. My teacher pushed me into it,” senior Rachel Mills said. Still, “I won’t lie, I’m really glad I did it.

“I was really proud, but mostly I was trying to breathe,” she added.

Students, red faced from the cold and excited to have crossed the finish line, headed

toward the gym where PTSA volunteers handed them bottled water, fruit and granola snacks.

Incentives By Design donated 100 “Issy 5K” T-shirts to the school for the top 50 runners and to 50 runners who demonstrated outstanding effort. FootZone and Eastside Kickboxing also donated prizes to award runners.

“Personally, I think the idea of having kids more involved with physical fitness and their overall health is a worthy cause, so we felt very good about supporting that,” said Incentives by Design Principal Bill Hirshberg, an Issaquah resident.

Parent volunteers and Junior ROTC members directed runners and traffic throughout the course, and cheerleaders encouraged students near the finish line. A few Junior ROTC students, including sophomore Alex England, joined the race once the last runners had passed by their checkpoints.

Senior Isaac Robinson placed first with a time of 18 minutes, 34 seconds, and senior Rachel Osgood was the first girl to cross the finish line at 20 minutes, 49 seconds.

Freshman Aidan Heninger finished close behind Robinson, in second place. Soccer, track and cross-country keep Heninger in shape and have taught him how to pace himself.

“I go fast at the beginning, slow in the middle and fast at the end,” he said. “I feel good.”

Hall Monitor Emily Walker Skyline High School their own car at 16, and the JSA debate club that won fourth in the nation out of 1,000 other chapters.

At a school with so many brilliant accomplishments, smaller successes can easily be overlooked or sometimes ignored.

This can cause students to become discouraged and feel as

though what they are achieving is not enough, even if in reality it is extremely difficult.

Taking three or four International Baccalaureate classes is not a rarity; take one or two IB classes and you could be considered a slacker.

Yet, when it comes down to graduation day in June, the infamous day where 400 students throw their hats up in the air, that is when the most profound and anticipated accomplishment happens.

Regardless of classes, assets, college choice or career, we are Sparta. And that is an accomplishment that is always going to be acknowledged.

cused on perspective. Rockwell chose to feature the work of M.C. Escher and other artists, such as Salvador Dali and Irvine Peacock.

Born in 1898 in Holland, Escher is known for combining various vantage points and special effects, such as looking up and down at the same time, according to the National Gallery of Art. He is also known for his “metamorphosis” work and his representation of impossible spaces.

All Sunny Hills students got a chance to learn about the art, methods and ideas behind certain Escher pieces, as well as participate in themed art projects.

Throughout the fall, they also studied and conducted projects in Dada — “nonsense” art — surrealism and illusion, Rockwell said.

During the 20-minute Art Walk sessions, Rockwell explained how a style of art is supposed to look, and then how artists broke rules to push the envelope in a genre.

She goes for that a-ha! moment in the students’ minds, she said.

“I like to make it interesting to the individual viewing the art,” she said. “I like to make an emotional connection to the student and the painting.”

As the students listened to Rockwell, they soaked in the dozen or so paintings on the wall, learning how perspective techniques worked in each varying scene.

“The kids that have this available get a certain kind of nourishment they don’t get from academic study,” Rockwell said. Even though

BY CHRISTOPHER HUBER

Sunny Hills Elementary School fourth-grader Hal Mady (front) and Averie Hasselbalch view perspective paintings during the school’s art walk Jan. 11. it’s a short experience every month or so, “They remember what they’ve seen before.”

The youth also learn about the cultural or economic influences surrounding a movement or a particular artist’s work, Rockwell said.

“It’s interactive, informative and it inspires them,” Ulrich said as her fourth-graders filed out of the gallery. “It ties in so well with what we do in the classroom.”

While many districts have mostly de-funded arts curricula, school PTAs have created their own arts programs, which include in-class lessons from volunteer art docents, specialty classes and art walks. Ulrich praised Sunny Hills PTA ef-

forts, as well as Rockwell’s passion and dedication to the program.

“She absolutely just pulls the kids into what she’s talking about,” Ulrich said.

The Sunny Hills program, which brings in professional artists and art docents, teaches more than typical arts and crafts techniques, Ulrich said.

“It’s through PTA that we have such a good art program,” she said. “Those kids were totally engaged today.”

Students snap photos to strengthen sister-city ties Leaders honor students in Issaquah, Chefchaouen for photography contest

By Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporter

AND THE WINNER IS… City and American Moroccan International Exchange leaders honored students in Issaquah and Chefchaouen, Morocco, in a recent photo contest between the sister cities.

The local winners in each category included: People

tudents snapped photos of a mountain panorama, football practice and “Copper Clad” — the metal horse sculpture downtown — to showcase Issaquah in a recent sister-cities photo contest.

The inaugural photo contest included students in Issaquah and sister city Chefchaouen, Morocco, in a transatlantic effort to foster cultural ties between students in both places.

The top photographers in both sister cities received cash prizes and recognition from the Issaquah City Council last month.

The city and the nonprofit American Moroccan International Exchange partnered to put on the contest. AMIE — the acronym is French for “friend” — President Mohamed Belali, a Sister Cities Commission member, lauded the top photographers in both cities.

“I thought they were beautiful pictures and representative of people,” he said.

Students competed to convey culture, landscapes and people in the photos.

Liberty High School senior Madeline Harnos earned the top prize — and $500 — in the landscape category among Issaquah students. The runners-up received $250 prizes.

“Taking a photograph is the only way to capture a moment forever, and you can access it whenever you want,” she

said.

The prizewinning landscape photo Harnos submitted for the contest depicts a forested mountain vista.

“The one that won in landscape is actually looking off of a mountain and just how far you can see absolutely blows my mind,” she said. “That’s a really big part of America — all of the different landscapes we have, from sunsets to mountains to forests to plains. It’s all here.”

Sarah Cluff, a Pine Lake Middle School student, earned the top spot in the people category for a snapshot of ducks and a galoshes-clad toddler, plus the first place honor in the culture category for a photo

of boy riding a scooter.

The contest is the latest cultural exchange between Issaquah and Chefchaouen.

Chefchaouen sent artisans — a wood artist and a metal craftsman — to the Salmon Days Festival in October 2009.

The cities formalized a sister-cities relationship in early 2007. The ties between the cities originated after Belali’s then-12-year-old daughter, Iman, founded AMIE to educate teenagers and dispel negative stereotypes in both countries.

For bountiful Italian options, that’s Amante Restaurant reviews are a regular feature of The Issaquah Press. Reviewers visit restaurants unannounced and pay in full for their meals.

By David Hayes Issaquah Press reporter Since Amante Pizza and Pasta moved from its old location on Locust Street to its newer digs in downtown Issaquah, we felt it was an opportune time to revisit this Italian eatery.

Those who were fond of Amante’s quaint, Italian villa vibe may be disappointed in the new mix of faux-industrial Tuscan décor.

A dining companion astutely noted the sparse interior could have done with booths lining the walls. And individual lamps extending over the tables would add some much-needed intimacy.

The mix of pop music originating from behind the bar would have been less distracting had it been subtly piped throughout the restaurant.

On a final aesthetic note, the old loca-

tion had outdoor seating to enjoy your meal in finer weather. Unless the plan is to cram a few tables on the sidewalk out front, outdoor dining will be missed in the downtown location.

But for those on the go, a place to sit to enjoy a quick lunchtime or dinner meal on a busy workday is found here.

Amante has kept its extensive menu to keep you coming back for repeat helpings.

Given a choice from either the lunch or dinner menu, our group selected from both.

Our lone dieter was pleasantly surprised by the portion size of the house salad. The roasted red peppers and feta cheese combined to make this more than the typical tossed salad. You will find myriad combinations in the 11 other salads the menu offers.

Looking to enjoy a staple of Italian dining, one member of our party ordered the old standby of spaghetti with meat sauce.

He experienced a surprising blend of seasoning he’d never before enjoyed, leaving him wanting for more. And the large lunch portion left plenty of leftovers for the next day.

The dinner menu’s calzones are almost criminally underpriced, considering the size of the giant hot pocket. The diner could only eat half and said he’d probably pay twice the $12 at any other upscale restaurant.

Amante’s recurring theme of pleasantly surprising combinations was present in their signature calzone, the Amante, which contains onions, black olives, shredded pepperoni and spinach.

nearly two dozen, all under $10.

I chose the meatball half-sandwich, anchored by toasted French bread. I wish there had been more marinara sauce and more spice in the meatballs — but that’s just a personal preference.

The dinner menu’s full Sicilian Sunset sandwich was good, except for the odd combination of goat and mozzarella cheeses and avocados, proving some outof-the-box flavor pairings don’t work as well as others.

As for Amante’s pizza, don’t go in expecting the old world, crispy crust.

Amante has chosen to feature a more American, softer crust for its pies. Our diner enjoyed his 10-inch lunch portion, slathered in sausage and mushrooms.

A bonus feature to the Issaquah Amante is an area near the front cleared for bands. With so few options for live entertainment in Issaquah, this is a welcome addition. Check Amante’s Facebook page for performance schedules.
