Police determine shooters’ identities in state park gun battle Investigators recommend firearms charge as case closes on lethal shootout

By Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporter Investigators said a gunman died during the shootout at Lake Sammamish State Park last July, before another parkgoer shot the gunman in self-defense, the King County Sheriff’s Office said as the monthslong investigation came to a close.

Investigators used statements from witnesses and forensic examination of firearms and bullets from the July 17 shootings to determine Seattle resident Justin Cunningham, 30, shot and killed Kent resident Yang Keovongphet, 33, before a 21-year-old Renton man shot and killed Cunningham.

The sheriff’s office recommended for King County Prosecutor Dan

Satterberg to charge the Renton man for unlawful firearm possession. The man cannot possess firearms due to a prior felony conviction.

County prosecutors must determine if the man indeed killed Cunningham in self-defense. Dan Donohoe, a spokesman for Satterberg, said the case is still under review.

The Issaquah Press typically does not name a suspect until he or she has been charged.

“You don’t usually end up with the shooter and the victim both

dead,” sheriff’s office spokesman Sgt. John Urquhart said. “That’s pretty unusual.”

David Keowongphet, a cousin of the slain Keovongphet, is in prison for a firearm possession conviction related to the shootings.

Prosecutors said the cousin could not possess firearms due to prior felony convictions.

Investigators concluded the investigation in late March and sent the case to prosecutors in early April.

Keowongphet is due to be released in late December from

medium-security custody at the Washington Corrections Center in Shelton after serving a sentence for firearm possession.

Gunshots echoed across Lake Sammamish State Park at about 9 p.m. on a summer Saturday, just after sunset.

In addition to the shooting deaths, gunshots injured a 20 yearold North Bend man, a 22-year-old Seattle man and a 16-year-old Renton boy. Police said another man suffered facial injuries amid the fracas.

Officers cordoned off the 514-

By Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporter Starbucks is coming to the Issaquah Highlands.

Only, rather than opening a shop on a street corner, the coffee giant is setting up inside the Swedish Medical Center.

The decision to include a Starbucks inside the light-filled atrium at the soon-to-open hospital illustrates how designers and executives plan to emphasize creature comforts and community outreach alongside medical treatment on the high-tech campus.

“It’s trying to be more consumer-friendly, family-friendly, less institutional,” architect Phil Giuntoli, health care principal at Seattle firm CollinsWoerman, said last week.

The steel-and-glass structure in the highlands is designed at Swedish executives’ behest to differ from other hospital campuses in the Puget Sound region.

“They were very cognizant of creating a community hospital — something that wasn’t the big downtown monolith,” Giuntoli said.

EFR starts contract talks Issues include firefighters’ health insurance, schedules

By Caleb Heeringa Issaquah Press reporter As Eastside Fire & Rescue union representatives and board members sit down to hammer out a new labor deal, firefighters point to the numerous concessions they’ve made in recent years in response to the economic recession.

Board members, beholden to their own city and fire district budgets and wary of the increasing costs of fire service, say their agencies are still feeling the effect of the recession.

Neither side will comment publicly on the specifics of ongoing negotiations, but the talks are

sure to be important to both sides in an agency that has seen contentious budget battles in the past.

“I’m hopeful that we can get a contract that is satisfactory (to firefighters) but still recognizes that economic conditions haven’t really improved,” said Sammamish Mayor Don Gerend, a representative to the EFR board. “Everyone is cinching up their belts across the board and public safety is a major expense at the city level.”

EFR Deputy Chief Wes Collins said the union and board hope to decide this month whether they’ll extend the current labor contract, renegotiate certain parts of the current contract or start from scratch on a new agreement.

A full-scale renegotiation would likely start in June or July and could last through the end of See EFR, Page A6

City closes sidewalk due to landslide risk

By Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporter The chain-link fence erected along the Southeast Black Nugget Road behind Fred Meyer and The Home Depot raised questions among motorists concerned about possible landslides.

City Public Works Engineering Director Bob Brock said municipal crews added the fence late last month as a precaution amid the risk for small landslides. The city is also addressing long-term issues related to the retaining wall along the same stretch.

“We’re trying to investigate what we can do to stop the earth movement above the wall, which is a separate issue from the wall itself,” Brock said. “The wall is in no danger of coming down, it’s just that it’s got a reduced lifespan because of some of things that were not done per plan.”

Instability on the slope is common after soaking rains, but city officials said the slippage does not

pose a risk to the residences perched above Southeast Black Nugget Road. Way Back Inn, a Renton nonprofit organization, owns the land on the slope.

“It seems like this year, we’ve had a lot more water. It’s moving

a little bit more and it’s got some fluidity to it that it didn’t have before,” Brock said. “So, as a precautionary measure, we closed See SIDEWALK, Page A3

YOU SHOULD KNOW Most state offices close for furloughs April 22 as a cost-cutting measure. The closure impacts most departments, plus dozens of other state agencies and commissions. Officials shielded services critical to public health and safety — such as Child Protective Services and the Washington State Patrol — from office closures, although the shutdowns affect some business functions at the agencies. The last mandatory closure day is scheduled for June 10.

Issaquah School District administrators, already facing $1.45 million in state cuts, decried the $3 million trim outlined in the state House of Representative’s proposed budget.

The proposal comes after legislators slashed $1 million from Issaquah schools in December and another $450,000 last month.

Under the plan the House unveiled April 4, the district stands to lose another $3.095 million in the proposed 2012 budget.

“While any cuts to our operations budget are devastating — especially on the heels of nearly $12 million in reductions the past two years — the silver lining in this proposal is that it maintains the instructional day and maintains our ability to collect local levy funding,” Jacob Kuper, finance and operations chief for the Issaquah district, said in a statement.

The proposed 2012 budget is similar to the proposed budget Gov. Chris Gregoire released in December. The state Senate is expected to offer different budget priorities. Then, legislators and the governor negotiate to produce a final budget. The task is difficult because the state faces a $5.1 billion shortfall in the 2011-13 budget.

Representatives proposed suspending the smaller class sizes and teacher-pay increases mandated in initiatives 728 and 732, and suspend a plan to reduce kindergarten-through-fourthgrade class-size class sizes.

Combined, the cuts could save the cash-strapped state more than $1 billion.

In addition, the proposed House budget increases employer contributions for pension plans and lowers a calculation factor for collecting local maintenance-and-operations levies. Unlike Gregoire’s proposal, the proposed House budget does not impact funding for gifted students.

Teachers seeking National Board Certification could also face reduced bonuses for attaining the prestigious certification: $3,000, rather than the $5,000 offered under the existing program.

“We’re disappointed by the weather every April — and that can actually last into June, our disappointment with the weather.”

Starbucks chief Howard Schultz greets fans, heckler in Issaquah

By Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporter Starbucks chief Howard Schultz and a disgruntled Seattle Sonics fan came face to face in Issaquah last week, as the coffee company president and CEO — and former basketball team owner — inscribed books at Costco.

The heckler cursed at Schultz and shouted, “You betrayed the whole city of Seattle!” before Costco employees and a police officer whisked the man out of the store during the otherwise-quiet event. Schultz smiled and signed “Onward: How Starbucks Fought for Its Life Without Losing Its Soul” — a bestselling account of Starbucks’ turnaround — for other patrons.

Schultz, a former Sonics owner, sold the team to Oklahoma City investors in 2006. Feelings about the decision remain raw among some Seattle-area basketball fans.

Costco employees and off-duty Issaquah police officers steered people in Sonics regalia away from the signing table. Overall,

“Sonicsgate” producer Adam Brown showed up in a Sonics ball cap and filmed the book signing on a handheld camera, before security intervened.

“They saw my hat, and I walked to the back of the line, and then

after about 10 seconds, they came and kicked me out,” Brown said.

“They wouldn’t tell me anything about why, and I said, ‘Is it because of my clothes? Is it because I’m wearing Sonics stuff?’ and they were just like, ‘Howard Schultz has asked that you leave the premises.’”

“Sonicsgate” is a 2009 documentary film about the NBA franchise’s relocation to Oklahoma City and reincarnation as the Oklahoma City Thunder. Brown produced the film alongside director Jason Reid.

“I have no beef with Costco, and I have no beef with the police officers or anything, but it’s just pretty funny that Howard would single me out for being the only guy wearing a Sonics hat and have me booted,” Brown added.

Other people arrived too late to meet Schultz. The initial publicity material for the appearance included a 1 p.m. start time, but signs at the store said noon, and Schultz started inscribing books before noon.

Elise Woodward, a host on KJRAM Sports Radio, arrived in a green-and-gold Sonics T-shirt just as Shultz departed.

“I just wanted to ask Howard Schultz why he wouldn’t be accountable to the fans,” she said later.

Some attendees turned out meet the man responsible for transforming Starbucks from a small coffee shop in Pike Place Market into a global behemoth.

Schultz joined Starbucks as director of marketing in 1982. In 2000, he stepped down from daily oversight of the company, but returned as CEO eight years later as the company foundered.

Starbucks’ distinctive mermaid logo adorns the cover and, inside the cover, the book features bitter headlines about the company’s troubles during the last decade.

The title comes from the word Shultz uses to sign company memos.

“Onward” reached No. 1 on The New York Times’ Best Sellers hardcover nonfiction list for April 17.

The stories about business acumen and Starbucks lore attracted company employees Sarah Gallagher and Katie Whitlock to Costco early.

Starbucks sent special editions of the book to employees — or partners in company lingo.

Gallagher and Whitlock met the CEO and chatted for a moment as Schultz inscribed the copies.

Whitlock, a Carnation resident and a barista at a Redmond Town Center shop, prepared a drink for the boss once, although she did not realize it at the time. “‘You know that was Howard Schultz?’” she recalled surprised coworkers asking.

Snowfall blanketed the Overdale Park neighborhood, in Issaquah, late April 7 and early April 8.

Surprising spring snow dusts city in white

By Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporter Sure, spring started last month, but Old Man Winter returned last week.

Snowfall blanketed Issaquah and surrounding areas — especially neighborhoods in the Issaquah Highlands and on Cougar, Squak and Tiger mountains — late April 6 and early April 7. Surprised residents reported about 1 inch of snow accumulation in some places.

“We’re disappointed by the weather every April — and that can actually last into June, our disappointment with the weather,” said Chris Burke, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Seattle.

Roads remained clear for the April 7 morning commute, although the rain-soaked ground resulting from the increased precipitation snarled Issaquah-area traffic.

Crews cleared a fallen tree from Issaquah-Hobart Road Southeast near Issaquah at about 8 a.m., after the large maple clogged traffic and forced motorists to detour.

King County Sheriff’s Office deputies directed traffic. Crews cleared enough of the tree to reopen the road just after 9 a.m. and then remained on the scene to

azine containing ammunition inside Cunningham’s left front jeans pocket.

Police said the trouble started after Keovongphet arrived the park for a picnic at about 6 p.m.

The cousin, Keowongphet, happened to be part of another gathering about 200 feet from the lakeshore picnic. Investigators said members in both groups had gang ties and guns.

Sann Keovongphet, the slain man’s widow, said the fight started after about 10 or 15 men approached the gathering from the other group. Then, insults escalated to punches and, moments later, from punches to gunshots. Sann Keovongphet said the cousin, Keowongphet, fired into the air during the incident.

Cunningham and Keovongphet lay dead in the grass after the shooting stopped. King County Medical Examiner’s Office investigators later said the men died at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds.

In the meantime, traffic backed up just south of Issaquah city limits. Motorists headed for Issaquah and Interstate 90 used crowded May Valley Road Southeast and state Route 900 to reach the city.

“With the ground so saturated, it’s not uncommon for the roots to give way, and the tree just kind of falls over,” King County Department of Transportation spokeswoman Rochelle Ogershok said.

The region is experiencing below-normal temperatures for early spring. High temperatures usually reach the mid to upper 50s in early April.

“We’ve been struggling to reach 50 each of the last several days, and the overnight lows have also been colder by an average of 10 degrees,” Burke said after the nighttime snowfall.

Blame La Niña for the colder temperatures and the additional precipitation.

The forecast for the day after the snowfall turned out to be the usual: rain showers and a high temperature near 48 degrees.

Sunshine and temperatures in the mid-50s — springtime weather — returned April 8.

shootout stretched for months as detectives awaited answers from the state crime laboratory.

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

Meanwhile, rangers at Lake Sammamish State Park prepared for a busy season — perhaps for a rebound after attendance dipped last year following the shootings.

“There were will be some people who may be a little hesitant to come back on out,” longtime Park Manager Rich Benson said. “I think that’s pretty much a minority. I think most people realize that these kind of things will happen occasionally.”

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

“I was surprised the following weekend after the incident that there were as many people who came to the park as they did,” Benson said. “I would have thought it would have been almost empty. It was a little quieter than normal, but not by all that much.”

Stacy Goodman, City Council appointee, launches campaign

By Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporter Stacy Goodman, a former journalist and attorney appointed to the City Council last month, announced plans April 8 to run for the seat in the November election.

“In just a short time, I see so many issues important to Issaquah and the region where I can represent people and make a difference,” she said in a statement.

Goodman, a past reporter and editor for The Issaquah Press, joined the council after a monthslong search to select a successor to Councilwoman Maureen

McCarry.

Because Goodman joined the council a little more than a year into M c C a r r y ’s unfilled term, she is running to serve until December Stacy Goodman 2013, rather than a regular, four-year term.

The novice candidate settled in the Issaquah area in 1989, and moved to Issaquah Highlands in 2006. Before attending law school

and joining Issaquah firm Carson & Noel, Goodman covered Issaquah City Hall as a reporter, and later editor, for nine years.

“I know this community well, and I know it from many viewpoints,” she said in the statement.

“I’ve experienced life in Issaquah as a resident, a parent raising children, a volunteer, a journalist and now as a business owner. Of course I’ve seen it change over the past 22 years, but change can present us with some exciting opportunities as we shape the future of Issaquah.”

The council picked Goodman for the open seat after members listened to applicants for 90 minutes

March 1 and cycled through a couple of rounds of balloting — and some political maneuvering — March 7 to fill McCarry’s former seat.

The former councilwoman resigned in December as symptoms from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, progressed.

In the initial balloting round, council members picked Goodman and applicant Paul Winterstein, a city Human Services Commission member, as top choices — and deadlocked in a 3-3 tie.

Councilman Joshua Schaer cast the decisive vote to appoint Goodman.

On the council, she serves on the

Join city officials April 16 to plant 10 native conifers to honor the 10 recipients of the Ruth Kees Environmental Award for a Sustainable Community. The city has invited past recipients to the celebration.

Plans also call for the grove to include a trail, decorative rock features and a small patio or courtyard, featuring recipients’ names engraved on paver stones.

Past recipients received the honor for efforts to establish the Mountains to Sound Greenway, blaze trails in the Issaquah Alps and protect Issaquah waterways.

Ruth Kees, a longtime environmental activist, fought for decades to protect Issaquah Creek, Tiger Mountain and the Lower Issaquah Valley Aquifer. The award namesake received the inaugural honor in 2003.

City extends honor to former councilwoman Former Councilwoman Maureen McCarry received double honors March 21, as she accepted accolades for environmental efforts and the city proclaimed the day as Maureen McCarry Day. Mayor Ava Frisinger and Swedish Medical Center issued the proclamation for McCarry’s efforts to bring a hospital campus to the Issaquah Highlands.

The hospital is scheduled to open in July.

The mayor announced the proclamation after McCarry received the top environmental honor in Issaquah, the Ruth Kees Environmental Award for a Sustainable Community.

The proclamation called on residents to thank McCarry for service to the community.

Following the Kees announcemost recent award in a ceremony last month.

In addition to honoring the

Proposed Eastside transit overhaul includes Issaquah changes King County Executive Dow Constantine proposed additional bus service to Issaquah in a plan to offer more and faster transit service on the Eastside.

Under the proposal, service is to be increased for Route 271 from downtown Issaquah to Bellevue and Seattle’s University District. The plan also calls for Route 211 to be extended to the Issaquah Highlands Park & Ride. Route 211 serves hospital-dense First Hill in Seattle.

In the proposal announced April 8, the executive called for additional Eastside transit service through the launch of RapidRide buses between Bellevue and Redmond.

“Rapid Ride will allow you to just show up to catch a bus between Bellevue and Redmond every 10 or 15 minutes, without having to check a schedule,” he said in a statement. “We heard from Eastside residents, businesses and public agencies, and this proposal reflects their wishes to consolidate resources and make Metro an easier alternative to driving a car.”

The plan aims to revise 24 King County Metro Transit bus routes at the same time the RapidRide B Line service launches between Bellevue and Redmond via Overlake and Crossroads. If the King County Council adopts the service changes, the updated

routes should take effect Oct. 1.

Some Eastside routes could be eliminated under the proposal, although none of the affected routes serve Issaquah.

The existing RapidRide line — serving a route between Tukwila and Federal Way — has proven to be popular among riders. In the initial four months, ridership is up 25 percent from the less-frequent route RapidRide replaced.

Through the partnership between Metro Transit and the First Hill Transportation Group — a consortium of Harborview, Swedish and Virginia Mason medical centers — the proposal calls for trips to be added.

Route 211 runs between First Hill and the Eastgate Park & Ride.

The proposal aims to extend the route to the Issaquah Highlands.

Implementation of the Transit Now partnership should add about 7,500 annual hours. If adopted, the agreement calls for Metro Transit to be responsible for two-thirds of the cost and for the partners to cover the remaining one-third.

Overall, Constantine said the proposed transit service changes should improve Eastside connections to take advantage of recent service additions made by Metro Transit and Sound Transit to the all-day routes between East King County and Seattle.

ment, McCarry’s husband, Tom Knollman, read from remarks she had prepared for the ceremony.

“When we last sat together, I told my husband that the worst part of my challenge was the inability to say thank you,” Knollman read. “That has not changed, and as Lou Gehrig said, ‘Today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth,’ and I, too, feel I am lucky.”

McCarry resigned in December as symptoms from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, progressed.

“Thank you again from the bottom of my heart, and know I feel the joy that Lou Gehrig expressed on a similar day when he said, ‘I might have been given a bad break, but I’ve got an awful lot to live for,’” Knollman read. recipients, the ceremony serves as the annual Arbor Day observance in Issaquah.

Crews also planted stakes in the hillside to track shifts in the slope. The fence and the stakes attracted attention from Klahanie resident Sandi Dong.

“My husband actually told me he preferred that I stop using Black Nugget, behind the Fred Meyer store, because of the evidence of land movement,” she said. “For the past year or so I’ve actually avoided the road and drive all the way down IssaquahFall City Road to East Lake Sammamish.”

Brock said the city is also addressing separate issues about the Southeast Black Nugget Road retaining wall.

The structure needs temporary construction in order to better brace against the slope.

“The look of the wall is pretty ugly, but that isn’t the real issue,” Brock said.

Attendees should park in the lot at Squak Valley Park South, 10319 Issaquah-Hobart Road S.E., and follow the markers to the ceremony site.

Participants should bring gloves and prepare for the weather if they intend to participate in the planting.

Call 837-3322 for more information.

The city is required to observe the occasion in order continue as a Tree City USA. The honor from the Arbor Day Foundation recognizes cities dedicated to community forestry.

Issaquah has been such a city for 17 consecutive years.

The foundation also bestowed a Tree City USA Growth Award on Issaquah last year, because the city demonstrated a process in generating publicity for tree-preservation efforts, educating residents and managing the urban forest.

Services & Safety and Transportation committees — the panels responsible for overseeing the Issaquah Police Department, transportation infrastructure and other key issues.

“As a newer council member, I am most excited about talking to citizens about how I can best represent them,” she said in the statement. “I pledged during the appointment process to work hard, be accessible, listen, and ask tough questions. I intend to keep that pledge.”

Goodman also serves on the Eastside Human Services Forum board and as the city’s alternate representative to the Cascade

Water Alliance.

Goodman joins councilmen Fred Butler and Schaer on the campaign trail. Schaer announced plans in February to run for re-election, and Butler joined the race in late March.

No other candidate has stepped forward. In addition to the seats held by Butler, Goodman and Schaer, Council President John Traeger’s post is up for election.

Candidates must file to run in Issaquah and other races by June 10.

Honor veterans in Memorial Day section

By Laura Geggel Issaquah Press reporter Dave Waggoner said he is worried that people are forgetting about U.S. veterans.

He recalled a phrase — selective disengagement — that journalist Bob Woodward had used.

“He said people across the United States selectively disengage from war, whether it be Afghanistan or Iraq or Korea or Vietnam or World War II,” said Waggoner, quartermaster with the Issaquah Veterans of Foreign Wars post.

When society selectively disengages from wars, it loses focus on the people who fight them and their experiences.

“The cost of war is people, and the people of Issaquah paid that price for their service,” Waggoner said.

The Issaquah Press is working to reverse that trend. For the second consecutive year, in its Memorial Day issue, The Press will publish profiles of Issaquah men and women who served in the U.S. armed forces.

Issaquah residents who would like to honor a family member or friend in the newspaper who was not in last year’s edition can download a form from the newpaper’s website, or pick up a form at The Issaquah Press’ office in downtown Issaquah.

Email photos to editor@isspress.com or mail them to The Issaquah Press to be scanned by May 18. There is no cost to submit a profile.

Last year, The Press honored 87 Issaquah veterans, including 19 who were killed in wartime — two in World War I, 13 in World War II and four in Vietnam.

The Memorial Day section will remind the public of those who served the U.S. during times of war and peace.

“I think as soon as they see pic-

tures of people who they knew who have served, and especially those who have served and lost their lives, they can no longer selectively disengage,” Waggoner said. “Now, they’re engaged. Now, they know.”

To support the Memorial Day section with a sponsorship, write a check to The Issaquah Press and put “Memorial Day” in the “for” section.

Veterans of Foreign Wars The Veterans of Foreign Wars invites veterans to join the club.

The VFW meets monthly, and does a panoply of volunteer work, including working with and sponsoring Boy and Cub Scouts, marching in the Salmon Days Festival parade, helping the Junior Navy ROTC and presenting the ceremonies at the Issaquah cemetery and City Hall.

To join the VFW, call Waggoner at 837-9478 or come to a VFW meeting at 7 p.m. the third Tuesday of every month at the Issaquah Valley Senior Center, 75 N.E. Creek Way. Prospective members should bring their Department of Defense discharge form, more commonly known as the DD Form 214. The club costs $33 annually to join.

Every Memorial Day, the VFW honors veterans in the Issaquah cemetery.

Family members who would like flags or religious symbols placed on graves can call Waggoner for a form for the VFW’s free service.

The problem is the reduced lifetime for the wall. Typically, such a structure might be built to last 75 years, but problems during construction mean the lifespan could be reduced by as much as half, Brock said.

The city annexed the slope and the surrounding area in the 2000 North Issaquah annexation.

Because the annexation occurred after development already started in the area, the county continued to handle the builder and conducted inspections.

Brock said city leaders hope for some county funds to help offset the repair cost. The municipal Public Works Engineering department also requested city dollars to complete repairs.

In the municipal budget, city leaders called for engineering design work to continue throughout 2011 as a prelude to needed repairs for the structure.

“We’re trying to work out what needs to be done there to make it not have the issues that it’s having right now,” Brock said.

OPINION

Look, there’s hope in Olympia!

PRESS E DITORIAL

In an otherwise dismal legislative session where the gloom of drastic budget cuts rules the order of the day, there is an unexpected bright spot.

His name is Glenn Anderson, the 5th Legislative District representative from Fall City.

We’ve always known Anderson to be colorful, but this year he seems more inspired to make waves even if it’s just for the sake of discussion. He has been doing less finger pointing and sometimes more inclined to follow his heart than his political party.

Take, for example, Anderson’s proposal to increase business-and-occupation taxes on high-revenue corporations.

What, a Republican wanting to raise taxes ever — let alone in the year when all the talk is about sparking businesses by lowering the B&O tax? Anderson is following his passion and commitment to higher education. The temporary increase would have bumped the financial support for colleges and universities.

That proposed amendment to the state budget went nowhere, but he has introduced House Bill 2032 that would eliminate the onerous B&O tax, opting instead for a flat-rate corporate income tax. If approved as part of a proposed constitutional amendment, the voters would get their say in November.

More in line with his conservative roots, Anderson wants a 7 percent cap on state sales tax, and the total state and local government sales tax to be capped at 10 percent. The sales tax in Issaquah is 9.5 percent. We hope other legislators are listening.

On the lighter side, Anderson proposed a joke amendment that would reimburse the price of pizza eaten by medical marijuana patients to help combat the food cravings while under the influence of medical cannabis. Anderson went so far as to limit the reimbursement to no more than three toppings, no delivery charges and no tips.

We like your light side, Anderson. Thanks for the chuckle.

But we also like the initiative to put forth some creative solutions.

Put up your dukes and keep fighting — for a better Washington.

Beware Lake Sammamish’s people-eating boar-dog-man

I

’ve had some pretty weird dreams involving T. rexes, really long waterslides and former college professors trying to kill me with samurai swords, but I recently had one of the strangest and most involved dreams ever.

In the dream, I was at work, and somebody called to tell me about a monster that lived alongside Lake Sammamish.

“That sounds like a great story for our summer Living magazine, which prints in June!” I said.

As I began conducting research for the story, I found an old book detailing the legend of the elusive Lake Sammamish beast.

The monster was amphibious, and it lived in a nuclear reactor buried deep in a cave on the lake’s eastern shoreline. It had an appetite for people, and it devoured anybody who stepped foot inside the cave.

As I flipped one of the old, weathered pages of the book, I came to a sketch of the monster: It had the head of a boar, the body of a dog and the legs of a man. Yes, it was the everdreaded people-eating boar-dogman, mutated by radiation from the reactor.

After making a few phone calls, I was able to find two guides to take me to the mouth of the beast’s cave.

However, the night before our journey, things got really weird. I received another phone call, this time from a man who wanted Tim Pfarr me to take Press reporter part in a muscle-man parade through town.

“I don’t have any muscles,” I told him. “I’m skinny and flabby.”

He told me it was no problem and to show up downtown at 8 a.m. the next day. Fortunately, I had just enough time before my trip to the lake to be in the parade, so I came by the next morning and was promptly fitted with a muscle suit. Along with a crew of people who were actually muscular, I walked through the streets for an hour, smiling and waving to all the people lining the sidewalks.

It was wonderful to see all the children’s smiling faces as I pumped my arms into the air and pretended to flex my massive rubber biceps.

After the parade, it was time to work. I met up with the guides, See BOAR-DOG-MAN, Page A5

Rachel’s Challenge

Thank you for continuing Columbine victim’s ‘chain of compassion’ Thanks go to Tim Pfarr for his March 30 Issaquah Press article about Rachel Scott and the nonprofit, Rachel’s Challenge, started by her family.

Rachel was the first student to die in the Columbine High School tragedy in 1999. Her living legacy of kindness and compassion was shared by her father, Darrell, in an assembly at Liberty High School on March 8.

Moved by words about his daughter’s life and how she wanted to impact the lives of others, Liberty students are taking on Rachel’s Challenge to “be a part of a chain reaction of kindness by showing compassion for other people.”

On March 29, Liberty ASB students did an outstanding job facilitating questions and discussions at lunch so students could share their feelings and reactions to Darrell Scott’s words.

DUI crash destroys classic car What an idiot. I love that year car. This is why I try not to drive anymore after I get home in the evening. It isn’t that I am not in control of my vehicle and my behavior; it is the others on the road who are constantly putting people’s lives on the line and risk by this sort of behavior.

Doing what’s best for the environment requires using more current data The city of Sammamish will be making decisions soon on the issues of sustainability and stormwater regulations. Environmental sustainability is the ability of earth’s systems to function as intended, providing us all with clean water and air.

We can’t talk about sustaining the environment without knowing first what the state of the environment is. The city has only updated two of the six drainage basin plans within Sammamish. We are still missing assessments of our streams for wildlife habitat, especially in Ebright Creek and other Kokanee salmon streams.

Ebright Creek is being impacted by development and has already been adversely affected in recent years by landslides in its ravine due to increased winter flows.

Friends of Pine Lake, a volunteer nonprofit organization, have monitored Ebright Creek for water quality, including temperature and turbidity since 2000. The city is taking over the

monitoring but will only monitor flow, eliminating monitoring of other indicators necessary in determining the stream’s ability to maintain its biological integrity.

Monitoring for habitat conditions is of the utmost importance if we are to make knowledgeable decisions regarding storm water regulations and issues of sustainability.

The salmon in streams are like our canaries in a coal mine. Kokanee populations have dwindled in the last decade to so few that a program of supplementation has been undertaken. However, that will not bring the fish back if their habitat continues to degrade. The wild food chain is unraveling to the detriment of everyone.

There are no more excuses. We must apply the most updated science to the whole city rather than continue to use the outdated 1998 storm water manual.

Issaquah recycling

Useful article would be more helpful whittled down into a checklist Laura Geggel’s article on recycling in this week’s edition contains very helpful information.

I intend to read it a second time, to prepare a summary for myself of the most useful points, so that I can readily refer to them from time to time.

It would be a service to all of your readers for you to provide such a summary. In today’s busy world most people will not make one themselves, and the article itself, though well done, is too long to be saved for reference.

If you have a booth at Salmon Days, you could distribute such summaries as fridge magnets.

and together we drove down a series of dirt roads in a Jeep, making our way toward the shoreline. After speeding around a curve, we suddenly arrived at the opening to the cave. It was surprisingly small, and sunlight shined through the opening, revealing a junkyard of discarded computers, refrigerators and air conditioners inside.

As I began taking photos through the opening, the guides ducked into the cave.

“What are you doing?” I asked them, my words echoing against the cave walls. “The monster will eat you if you go in there.”

“Look at all this trash,” one of them said. “We need to clean this up.”

Then, the other one chimed in.

“Come on, you have to help us with this,” he said.

I refused, and now afraid for my life, I took off running back up the dirt road. It was at this point that my alarm buzzed, snapping me out of the dream.

I’m glad everything that happened was imaginary, but I’m a little concerned about the implications the dream has for my personality. Am I always searching for the unattainable? Do I run away from housecleaning whenever I can? Do I have a secret desire to march around in some sort of weird muscle parade?

On the other hand, I am a little bummed that there is no monster, because a story about people-eating boar-dog-man really would have been a fantastic addition to summer Living.

See a slideshow of the Swedish Medical Center construction site in Issaquah at www.issaquahpress.com.

FROM PAGE A1

The campus is scheduled to open to patients July 9. The initial phase includes the medical office building. Then, executives plan to open the hospital portion in November — earlier than the projected February 2012 opening date. The facility is designed to accommodate up to 175 beds, although Swedish plans to open with 80 beds in November and to increase to 175 as the need increases.

The facility is designed to incorporate state-of-the-art cancer and heart centers, surgical facilities and a secure obstetrics and gynecology floor. The emergency room at the highlands campus is also set to replace Swedish’s standalone emergency room near Lake Sammamish.

The construction site started buzzing after Gov. Chris Gregoire joined hospital executives and Issaquah leaders to break ground on the facility in October 2009.

On a typical day, more than 500 people teem through the 18-acre site.

Giuntoli said a hospital is in some ways easier to design from the ground up, rather than adding to another structure.

Craig Hooper, president of IAFF 2878, the union that represents EFR firefighters, said union members have gone out of their way to help the board balance the agency’s budget when revenues fell in recent years.

Budget crunch prompted concessions The current labor contract calls for the agency to compare its wages with neighboring fire departments when determining annual wage increases, which has led to wage hikes as high as 3 or 4 percent several years ago. With

“You never get lost at Bally’s in Vegas,” Kevin Brown, Swedish senior vice president and chief administrative officer, said during a hardhat tour at the construction site. “You’re never going to get lost here.”

The setup is not a cafeteria, Susan Gillespie, Swedish administrative director of ambulatory care, said during the tour.

Rather, Café 1910 — as the hospital intends to call the dining area — plans to serve pizza from a brick oven and other fare more often seen on a bistro table than a hospital tray. (The numeral in the name nods to year the Swedish

Hospital opened in Seattle.)

Spare the jokes about hospital food, please.

“We will not serve Jell-O here,” Gillespie added, and then paused.

“I’m pretty sure we will not serve Jell-O.” Planners said the hospital included amenities lined up inside the atrium — a public café, plus shops and community meeting rooms — to encourage passers-by to use the facility for more than medical care.

“There was a very conscious plan to put retail into the facility,” said Janet Barry, a former Issaquah School District superintendent and the leader of a community advisory group for the hospital campus. “Along with the

the agency facing a revenue crunch, the union agreed to forgo that process, freeze wages in 2010 and tie their increase in 2011 to the cost of living — about one-fifth of 1 percent.

The union also agreed to change overtime rules to allow a lessexperienced firefighter to cover for a sick coworker who is higher up the organizational ladder, meaning the agency wouldn’t have to pay another firefighter overtime to cover that position.

Faced with a budget crunch in late 2009, the union leadership also took it upon itself to find a cheaper medical plan for employees, which has saved the agency more than $50,000 per year in medical costs. With medical costs rising every year, the union also agreed to a deal that caps the agency’s portion of increases to health insurance at 6 percent until 2014.

Hooper said some firefighters

feel the board doesn’t fully appreciate the compromises they’ve made in recent years.

“We do something that helps the budget and (the board) is grateful for it and then a few months later they come back and want something else from us,” he said. “It’d be nice if we could get more recognition (from the board) for what we’ve done for the department and the community.”

Hooper declined to comment on what, specifically, the union has requested be included in its new contract, but did say he was hopeful the board would consider changing firefighters work schedule to a “48/96.”

The department currently uses the so-called Modified Detroit model — one day on, one off, one on, one off, one on and four off.

Some firefighters say going back and forth from on days to off days prevents them from developing good sleeping patterns and

medical office building, which is bringing a fine range of physicians into the community, from which patrons will be coming and going, there will be a real focus on serving as a resource for a healthy community.”

In order to design a 21st century hospital, designers relied on input from the community advisory group, and residents throughout the Issaquah and Sammamish areas, plus lessons learned at other medical facilities.

A ‘big summer of openings’ for area Issaquah resident Dr. John Milne, Swedish vice president for medical affairs, said the hospital is also designed for efficiency.

“One of the most valuable things that anyone has these days is time,” he said.

The time patients spend to travel for medical treatment elsewhere in the region is another factor in the long-running effort to open a hospital campus in the highlands.

“When we looked about at other communities of comparable size and complexity, they have a hospital that serves them,” Barry said.

“Our community has traveled out, mostly, I think, to the Overlake area but also to Seattle, for servic-

increases the likelihood of a fatigued employee coming to work.

Union could seek to ‘recapture’ wages Hooper said firefighters would prefer to work two 24-hour shifts in a row and then receive four days off — allowing a smoother transition between on time and off time, and cutting down on commute time and sick leave.

The union asked the board to consider the schedule changes last September, but the board said it didn’t feel comfortable without more study of the potential impacts. At the time, the board suggested that the issue come up in this year’s contract talks.

“I’m hopeful the board will give some consideration to it,” Hooper said. “I’m disappointed with how it turned out (in September).”

At Sammamish’s City Council retreat in February, EFR Deputy Chief Jeff Griffin, who along with the rest of the administrative staff

es. So, we’re really excited that this is going to be in our community.”

Supporters also expect the hospital to boost the economy in the highlands. Some of the retail amenities promised in the neighborhood more than a decade ago turned out to be slow to materialize.

“I think the medical jobs will transform the community in a very, very positive way,” Brown said.

John Shaw, consulting director of operations for highlands developer Port Blakely Communities, said the hospital is helping to attract interest to the surrounding neighborhood.

“As we’re out in the market looking to attract retail developers to the project, it’s not lost on them, of course, that Swedish is there and about to open a beautiful, new facility,” he said.

The hospital also piqued interest from potential builders considering medical-related construction near the facility.

Swedish is scheduled to open the hospital at about the same time as the YWCA Family Village at Issaquah and the eco-friendly zHome townhouses. Bellevue College is also inching ahead on planning for a satellite campus in the highlands.

“This summer will be a big summer of openings, and it will show a lot of momentum, which is not lost on the market,” Shaw said.

State budget proposal outlines upgrades for Issaquah trails

is not unionized, warned the council that the union might be looking to “recapture” the wage increases it turned down in recent years.

The board has been able to hammer out budgets the last two years that saw relatively small cost increases. With the union feeling it has made plenty of sacrifices, Griffin warned that might not come so easy next year. “(Union negotiations) can turn in a heartbeat when things get contentious,” he told the council and city staff members at the retreat. “People feel like they’ve held back. They feel like they deserve a higher level (of wages and benefits) and they have nothing left to give … As a company, we care about the people that work for us, but we have limited resources to give.”

Outdoor recreation and wildlifeprotection projects in the Issaquah area received a boost in the proposed budget from the state House of Representatives, but hurdles remain before crews can break ground.

The proposed House budget includes a $500,000 Cougar Mountain Park-Precipice Trail grant, for King County to expand Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park, create a buffer and create a gateway from Issaquah to the park. (King County acquired additional land for the park late last year.)

Funds from the $500,000 East Lake Sammamish Trail grant could help King County expand and pave the trail along the lake from Redmond to Issaquah.

The proposal includes a $317,000 Duthie Hill Park trailhead development grant to enable the county to expand the trailhead at the popular mountain-biking destination.

Bridges along Tiger Mountain State Forest trails could also be replaced using the $247,870 proposed for trail upgrades in the forest.

The proposed funding for the half-dozen projects amounts to $2.18 million. The list also includes dollars for Covington and Snoqualmie Valley projects.

Legislators unveiled state capital construction budget April 5. The recreation projects form part of a proposed $50 million appropriation to the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program in the House budget.

Senators should release a proposed budget soon, although the recommended Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program projects could differ from the House choices. Legislators from both chambers and the governor must negotiate to produce a final state budget for 2011-13. The state faces a $5.1 billion shortfall.

Funding is determined using objective criteria, but the formula could change if the state Senate cuts funding for the program or alters the selection criteria.

“I think there is some concern this year that people will pick a different criteria,” said Cynara Lilly, a spokeswoman for the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Coalition, a nonprofit group set up to support the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program. “The reason why that’s the scariest thing is that once you change the mechanism for how you rank projects, it becomes the kind of thing where people could do pork or earmarks for their districts.”

The program funds high-priority wildlife habitat and outdoor recreation projects throughout the Evergreen State.

Leaders at the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Coalition praised the House proposal.

“We are thrilled to see that the House of Representatives understands the critical role that preservation projects like [this one] play in local communities across the state,” Executive Director Joanna Grist said in a statement.

Television series stars Issaquah business whiz kids Talents land young entrepreneurs in the limelight

By Laura Geggel Issaquah Press reporter Usually, people don’t learn about taxes and their multitude of alphabet soup forms —1040s, W2s, 1099s and 1040EZs — until they get their first job or start their own company.

Instead of waiting for employees and employers to learn about subjects, like taxes, on the job, the public television show “Biz Kid$” is working to empower children about the business world.

Issaquah High School graduates Riley Goodman (left) and Jake Director were featured on the TV show ‘Biz Kid$’ as well the Seattle skyline socks produced by their company, Sea Town Lax. “Biz Kid$” episode, “A World Without Taxes” would help people understand taxes and why they need to be paid.

“There is so much negative conversation about taxes politically,” Hammond said. “People forget in a civilized society you need taxes to pay for schools and roads and utilities and hospitals and things that really are important to maintaining the infra-

structure and care of a sophisticated society.”

During the 30-minute show, “Biz Kid$” reporters visit young adults and entrepreneurs who explain their journey and relationship with taxes.

Lectures seek to address questions for the faithful

By Laura Geggel Issaquah Press reporter How can people reconcile their faith with modern issues, such as immigration, gay spirituality or poverty?

The Community Keith Madsen Church of Issaquah invites the public to ponder these issues at a series of free lectures titled, “Faith and Today’s World,” in the meeting room at the Issaquah LiMichael Ramos brary.

Keith Madsen, pastor of the Community Church of Issaquah, said he and his congregants chose the issues that mattered most to them and found experts who could speak about the complexities coloring each topic.

“It’s not always easy to talk

about them from the pulpit of the individual church,” Madsen said.

The first speaker, Michael Ramos, the executive director of the Church Council of Greater Seattle, will speak about faith and immigration issues, from April 17.

“From a faith prospective, what does our faith say to use about how we should relate to immigrants?” Madsen asked.

“Michael Ramos obviously has a Hispanic name, but he is a Catholic man who is head of the Church Council of Greater Seattle, and as such has some solid credentials for speaking on it.”

The second speaker, Jawad Khaki, of the Iman Center in Kirkland, will give a lecture titled, “Interfaith Relations: ChrisSee LECTURES, Page B3

Evangeline Flickinger, of Snoqualmie, meets Maximus/Minimus, the pig-shaped sandwich truck, at last year’s opening day for the Issaquah Farmers Market.

By Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporter xpect a thoroughly modern market boasting artisan products and street snacks, plus the usual organic produce, as the Issaquah Farmers Market returns April 16.

Sellers and patrons descend on the bucolic Pickering Barn site from all directions. The bustling Costco across the street also attracts customers to the market.

The market is a boon. The historic barn can attract up to 4,500 people on a busy Saturday. Crowds build throughout the season as rain turns to sunshine, temperatures inch upward and sellers proliferate.

The historic Pickering Barn site nods to Issaquah’s agricultural roots. The local market predates other Eastside farmers markets by several years. The market opened in downtown Issaquah early, and then IF YOU GO settled at the barn more Issaquah Farmers than a dozen years ago.

The market includes Market farmers from East King 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

County and Eastern Saturdays from April Washington, artists and 16 to Oct. 8 craftspeople from throughout the Evergreen Pickering Barn 1730 10th Ave. N.W. State, and a Seattle food truck sporting ears and a pig snout. Entertainers plan to roam the grounds throughout the season.

Longtime sellers include beekeepers, carpenters, farmers and jewelers, though the market changes from season to season. The eclectic lineup includes fresh offerings as the bazaar returns for a 21st season.

Market is hog heaven for foodies Maximus/Minimus started rooting for customers at the Issaquah market last season.

The swine-shaped sandwich truck acts a magnet for the faithful following Maximus/Minimus on Twitter and uninitiated onlookers alike.

Skyline High School graduate Lance Marlow is the

general manager for the porcine purveyor.

“That is a big part of our marketing strategy, word of mouth,” he said. “By building a big pig — if you build it, they will come. Something about the snout and the ears certainly draws a lot of people.”

Indeed, Maximus/Minimus resembles a crossbred American Yorkshire pig and Airstream trailer.

she did. Her sewing and knitting were inspiring, and full of love for the recipients. Her photography held unique perspective and passion for the subject matter. Her gardens were full of wonderfully healthy foods to nourish the body, as well as plenty of flowers to nourish the soul. She cared for many things in her life, but her truest love and passion were for her family and friends.

Midge was a member of the Issaquah Eagles, as well as the Gilda’s Club in Seattle. She was a past president and treasurer of the Issaquah Swim Team and a faithful volunteer at the Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank.

Just before helping their team win the state finals in 2009, the two students sat in Goodman’s Honda in the Issaquah High parking lot, discussing their futures.

Each had received $700 as a graduation present, and they decided to combine their money to start a sock company.

The process was bumpy — they tried to find an American outlet

“Customers become curious and look at our menu, and figure out who we are.”

Offerings include a classic pulled pork sandwich gussied up in special sauces and macaroni featuring cheese from sister company Beecher’s Handmade Cheese.

“I grew up going to the market, and it was a big part of my weekend,” Marlow said. “I love the family vibe that the market has. I love seeing families out there getting involved in pure, all-natural food.”

Elsewhere at the market, proprietor Kirke Smith plans to dish out self-described old-school Italian food: sautéed sausage and peppers stuffed inside a Le Panier baguette.

“It’s an opportunity to build some bridges,” Madsen said. “If we can do that, it would not only be good in opening up life for American Muslims, but I believe in the long run help it could defeat terrorism by not making people into scapegoats.”

The Community Church of Issaquah can only reserve the library two months in advance, but as summer approaches, the congregation plans to invite more experts to address issues including gay spirituality, faith and responding to poverty, separation of church and state, and faith and civic responsibility.

When they got their first 1,000 socks two years ago, they sold out within three weeks.

“Right now, it’s going extremely well,” Director said.

The two founders tell “Biz Kid$” viewers about how they dealt with paying taxes when they started Sea Town Lax. As young entrepreneurs, they didn’t know to keep track of their inventory or their receipts, Goodman said.

“They were talking to us about how we dealt with not really knowing how to pay taxes,” Director said.

Since then, Director and Goodman have taken accounting classes at the University of Washington and have managed their taxes themselves.

“We like to say our business is kind of like a hobby,” Goodman said. “It’s something we love doing. It’s real life experience.”

“Biz Kid$” reporters also visited employees to get their side of the tax story. Stupich, a glassblower working at Issaquah’s artbyfire, said he learned to put money aside during the year to pay taxes every April.

Tuberculosis, global health scourge, threatens King County population

By David Hayes and Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporters

ON THE WEB

Tuberculosis, a public health menace throughout history, remains a concern in 21st century King County.

Public Health – Seattle & King County released new information about tuberculosis March 24 as part of World TB Day. The health agency reported 116 active, or infectious, TB cases last year — a decrease from 130 cases in 2009, but still a cause for concern.

Officials said six of the cases last year resulted from the recently discovered PCR0001 strain. The strain appears more likely to infect other people and cause active TB more often than common strains.

The strain has caused 76 cases in local homeless people since 2002, and is starting to reach the broader community. Of the six PCR0001 cases from last year, three came from outside of the homeless population.

“We aren’t immune in King County from the global epidemic or the changing nature of the disease itself,” Dr. David Fleming, director and health officer for Public Health – Seattle & King County, said in a release. “The wider spread of what appears to be a more potent strain is concerning,

King County’s active TB rate is consistently among the highest for any local area in the United States — a fact health officials said reflects the global nature of the population. Of the 116 people diagnosed with active TB last year, 84 percent had been born outside of the United States.

“We’re a pluralistic society in King County,” said Will Shelton, director of epidemiology at Swedish Medical Center. “We get individuals from all over the world who were exposed as a child to TB.”

State: Washington milk is safe, despite radiation concerns State agriculture and health officials said Washington-produced milk is safe, despite low levels of radiation detected March 25 in a milk sample from Spokane.

The federal Environmental Protection Agency is conducting radiological testing for Washingtonproduced milk. EPA results announced March 30 confirmed the presence of miniscule levels of radioactive iodine-131.

Sampling results from Tacoma and Spokane taken during the same week — and posted online April 4 by the EPA — did not detect any radioactive elements in milk, even in trace amounts.

“EPA monitoring confirms that Washington milk is safe to drink,” Dan Newhouse, state Department of Agriculture director, said in a statement. “These results raise no concerns for food safety or public health. Milk and other dairy products remain a healthy choice in your diet.”

In the sample indicating the presence of iodine-131, the levels

C LASSES

found in the milk amounted to 5,000 times less than the level the federal government considers a health concern, even for children.

State agriculture and health officials said drinking a pint of milk with the low levels of radiation exposes the consumer to less than half the radiation from a five-hour airplane flight.

The state Department of Health continues to monitor air for radiation due to ongoing nuclear disaster in Japan.

“There’s a lot of monitoring underway to see how much radiation from Japan can be found in the environment here, and as expected all of the results show very low levels that are well below any health risk,” Secretary of Health Mary Selecky said in a statement. “We understand people are concerned, and it’s important to know that only trace levels have been detected. The state continues to monitor air and rainwater, and in fact we expect to have results from our own state milk tests later this month.”

people. The rest of the nation averages 3.8 per 100,000, he added.

Shelton said people of color continue to account for a disproportionate amount of tuberculosis cases.

“This is due to some exposure and lack of access to medical care,” he said. “Also, American Indians have experienced a greater risk historically.”

The county’s TB Control Program has made efforts in recent years to help control the spread of the PCR0001 strain among the homeless population. Now, the program is focused on controlling the spread of the strain more broadly.

The program ensures that people with active TB receive a proper diagnosis and treatment until they have been cured.

More than 2,800 clients make almost 12,000 visits to the TB clinic for treatment each year. The program also evaluates immigrants and refugees suspected of having active TB. Due to state and county budget crises, the program faces continued funding challenges. The pro-

What are the signs and symptoms of TB? The most common symptoms include cough, usually for more than three weeks; coughing up blood or sputum, phlegm from deep inside the lungs; pain in the chest; fatigue; weight loss; fever; or night sweats. The symptoms usually come on gradually over a period of weeks.

What is the difference between TB infection and TB disease?

People with TB disease are made sick by germs that are active in their bodies. Often, they have several symptoms of TB, like persistent cough, fever and weight loss. If the disease is in their lungs they can give the disease to other people. Permanent damage and death can result. Medications to cure TB are almost always effective.

People who have TB infection have the germ that can cause TB inside their bodies. However, they are not sick because the germ is

gram has had to cut staffing levels and limit services to the highestpriority cases and contacts.

Shelton said a lack of funding could lead to greater problems.

“When there have been budget crises with cuts in funds in states like California, Florida and Texas, there were significant outbreaks of TB,” Shelton said.

Compounding the problem, not everyone knows they have been exposed to TB and may be carriers, Shelton said. Worldwide, 2.3 billion people — one-third of the planet’s population — might have been exposed to tuberculosis.

“When exposed, only about 2 percent get TB and another 7 to 10 percent chance they have latent TB,” Shelton said.

King County officials said the number of local cases requires

Medication is often given to these people to prevent them from developing TB disease.

How is TB spread?

TB spreads when someone who has pulmonary TB coughs. Bacteria from that person’s lungs are then expelled into the air, and may be inhaled into the lungs of another person. TB is not very infectious; it’s much harder to catch than the common cold. Usually a lot of time needs to be spent with a person with pulmonary TB for someone to catch TB. It’s not possible to get TB from sharing a glass with a person with TB or touching a doorknob after someone with TB has used it. Also, once a person with TB is on medication, he or she quickly becomes noncontagious. People on medication can quickly resume their normal patterns of life without fear of spreading TB to others.

careful attention.

“We estimate approximately 100,000 people in King County have latent, or dormant, TB infection. While they aren’t contagious now, some will develop active TB in the future and could infect others,” Dr. Masa Narita, TB Control Officer for the health agency, said in a release. “TB is curable and preventable, but controlling TB is an ongoing challenge, especially with fewer resources to protect the community.”

Issaquah rebounds from worst loss to best win

Some Patriots took the week because it was spring vacation.

Whether their absence made a difference or not would be debatable. The big issue for the Patriots against Juanita was putting the ball in the net.

Liberty failed to connect and Juanita took advantage of a second-half penalty kick to post a 1-0 upset victory.

“We were missing some key players but I’m not sure that would have made a difference.

Juanita really played well,” Liberty coach Darren Tremblay said.

“Our problem was that we just couldn’t get the ball into the net.”

The Patriots had ample chances as they outshot Juanita 10-2.

Juanita won the game with a penalty kick with 15 minutes left in the game.

It was a disappointing loss for Liberty, which dropped to 2-3-1 in league play. Juanita entered the game winless in league play and on the season. In fact, the Rebels had been outscored 29-2 in their first seven games.

“Juanita hadn’t been at full strength all season. They finally got some key players back and played well against us,” Tremblay said. “Juanita played hard and real aggressive.”

The loss was probably a head scratcher for Tremblay, considering the Patriots have been competitive against the league’s top

teams. Early this season Liberty tied perennial power Mercer Island, 2-2, and defeated defending KingCo champion Mount Si, 3-1.

Liberty had a strong effort March 29 but lost a 1-0 heartbreaker to unbeaten Sammamish.

“We really played well against Sammamish,” Tremblay said. “It was a tough loss. I really thought we played well enough to win the game. We just couldn’t put the ball in the net.”

Lack of scoring hasn’t always

been a problem this season. Riley Mackey and Aaron Potoschnik each have scored three goals, and Danny Dapper has a pair of goals.

Blake Kessler has three assists.

Liberty has also received some strong goaltending from sopho-

more Nate Mak, who has two shutouts.

Former Issaquah High School baseball star Ryan Aratani has become Pacific Lutheran University’s all-time career leader in runs batted in.

Aratani, a senior outfielder, took over the top spot April 10 by drawing a bases loaded walk in the Lutes’ 8-0 victory against Whitworth. It was his 118th run batted in. Aratani went 2-for-4 in the game.

G RAD R EPORT For the season, Aratani is hitting .340. Last year he hit .398 and earned Northwest Conference first-team honors. In fact, he has hit better than .300 every season at Pacific Lutheran.

Another local player who is off to a good start for the Lutes is Liberty grad Jaron Iwakami, another outfielder. Iwakami is hitting .280.

One of the best games for both Aratani and Iwakami came March 27. Aratani went 4-for-5 and drove in two runs. Iwakami went 3-for-4 as Pacific Lutheran topped Willamette 14-11.

Old teammates meet Jacob Kemmerer and Kyle Sutherland used to be battery mates at Issaquah High School and later at Edmonds Community College. However, they were on opposite sides in a game last month.

Both former Eagles transferred from Edmonds to NCAA Division I schools last fall. Kemmerer, a pitcher, plays for Liberty University and Sutherland, a catcher, plays for Virginia Commonwealth.

Their teams met March 29 with Liberty winning 11-1. Kemmerer pitched two scoreless innings and struck out two. Sutherland had a hit for Virginia Commonwealth.

Sutherland is off to an outstanding start for Virginia Commonwealth. Entering last week, he was hitting .389 with 10 runs batted in. On March 25, Sutherland had one of his best games of the season, getting three hits and driving in a run as Virginia Commonwealth defeated Georgia State 10-6.

Skyline grad has career game Ryan Somers, a Skyline grad, had the best offensive game of his Seattle University baseball career April 9 when the Redhawks lost to Nevada 11-10. Somers went 4-for4 with a double, a stolen base and two runs batted in.

Adrian Sampson, another Skyline player, is making a strong comeback this season as a pitcher for Bellevue College. Sampson missed all last spring as a senior at Skyline because of an injury.

Currently he has a 2-1 record with a 2.25 earned run average.

On April 9, he went the distance in pitching a complete game as Bellevue defeated Shoreline 6-2.

Sampson had six strikeouts. He had six strikeouts in six innings April 2 when Bellevue defeated Edmonds 3-2.

Prior to last spring, Sampson was one of the top pitchers in the KingCo Conference. He earned allleague honors in 2008 and 2009.

As a junior he had a 1.85 earned run average.

Entering this spring, Sampson was picked 45th out of the top 100 community college pitchers in the nation.

Local grads starting for Huskies Liberty grad Eric Peterson is playing first base and Issaquah grad Spencer Rogers is patrolling center field for the University of Washington this spring. Peterson was hitting .294 entering last week’s play.

Shoji lit it up Point guard Alyssa Shoji, a former Issaquah star, recently concluded her junior basketball season for Santa Clara University. Shoji ranked third in the West Coast Conference in 3point field goals with 64 and in assists with 3.7 per game. She led the conference in free throw shooting percentage (91.4).

Shoji finished the season with two of her best games, scoring 18 points in each of Santa Clara’s two conference tournament games. Shoji has scored 940 points during her career.

for the Eagles, who evened their league record at 3-3.

Issaquah capped its week with a 7-5 victory against visiting Mount Rainier in an April 9 nonleague game.

Issaquah fell behind 3-0 in the second inning but came back with a run in the bottom of the third and went ahead in the fifth inning with four runs.

Rosellini, Mahovlich and Kalin each had run-scoring hits in the inning. Issaquah put the game away with two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning. Matt Gonn scored the first by stealing home. David McIlvaine singled in Bakamus with the second run.

Relief pitcher Scott Boydston picked up his second victory of the season. Westover closed out the game to earn his third save.

“We’re getting better. Early in the season we were really struggling when it came to hitting. We looked a lot like the Mariners,” Reese said.

Prior to the three-game winning streak, Issaquah’s team batting average was .207. By the end of the week, the Eagles had boosted that average to .270.

“Some good things started to happen. Guys who we counted on to be our best hitters started hitting,” Reese said.

Curtis on disabled list Former Issaquah standout Colin Curtis, who got called up to the major leagues last year by the New York Yankees, is currently on the 60-day disabled list. Curtis, an outfielder, dislocated his right shoulder during a March 10 spring training game.

Last year Curtis excited local fans when the Yankees called him up on June 21. He later started for the Yankees in a series against the Seattle Mariners at Safeco Field. He was sent down to the minors July 21 but was recalled in September.

Issaquah lacrosse drops three in New Jersey The Issaquah High School boys lacrosse club had a fun but rough trip to New Jersey last week. Issaquah lost all three games against strong New Jersey opponents.

The final game of the tour was April 8 when Issaquah lost to Peddie, 6-4. Issaquah took a 2-0 lead in the first quarter and went ahead 3-0 in the second period on a goal by Matt O’Neill. The Eagles led 3-1 at halftime. However, the second half belonged to Peddie, which tied the game in the third period. Ashton Ritchie put Issaquah up 4-3 but Peddie again tied the score and put in two goals in the fourth period to win the game.

O’Neill led Issaquah with two goals.

On April 7, Issaquah lost to Lawrenceville, 10-3. Jake Fritz scored two of Issaquah’s goals.

Michael Hatcher accounted for the other goal.

Issaquah began its longest road tip of the season on April 6 when the Eagles lost a thriller to Rutgers Prep 10-9 in two overtimes. The Eagles led 3-1 in the first period but Rutgers prep rallied in the second period to lead 6-4 at halftime.

Issaquah fought back in the third period to lead 8-7. However, Rutgers Prep scored twice in the fourth period to regain the lead.

Issaquah’s Ben Director scored on a rebound shot with 12 seconds left in regulation to send the game into overtime.

Director, Fritz, O’Neill and Kevin Powers each scored two goals for Issaquah.

Issaquah resumes league action this week. The Eagles play long-

Kasen Williams wins high jump at Arcadia Skyline High School senior Kasen Williams cleared 6 feet, 11 inches April 9 to win the high jump at the prestigious Arcadia Invitational in Los Angeles. Arcadia is one of the nation’s top track and field meets.

Liberty’s Joshua Gordon also competed in the high jump in another division at Arcadia. He went 6-3 to finish seventh.

shown improvement.

“We’re playing better. I really think we’ve played well enough to win all of our games,” Tremblay said.

Liberty has a tough stretch of games coming up. Starting on April 15 at Mount Si, the Patriots play four straight away games. How well the Patriots perform during that stretch should determine their chances of reaching the league tournament.

County honors district schools as Earth Heroes

By Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporter

Youth wins President’s Volunteer Service Award

Wednesday, April 13, 2011

King County is honoring Grand Ridge Elementary School — plus teachers, a student and a staff member from the Issaquah School District — as Earth Heroes at School.

The annual honor highlights schools and people for contributions to environmental protection and student environmental education. The county Department of Natural Resources and Parks’ Solid Waste Division announced the 2011 honorees March 30.

“Winners of the Earth Heroes at School awards are a diverse group who share the common goal of making our world a better place,” County Executive Dow Constantine said in a statement. “It is an honor to recognize their achievements in environmental education, waste reduction, energy conservation and other positive efforts.”

Grand Ridge recorded a 35-percent recycling rate last year.

Eager to do more, students,

teachers and staff members improved recycling in classrooms and offices, and started a food scraprecycling program. The schoolwide Media Club created a video to demonstrate proper recycling and composting. Moreover, the Issaquah Highlands school promoted recycling at all school events.

The result: The recycling rate increased to 62 percent.

The county spotlighted Issaquah Middle School teachers Olga Haider and Michelle Pickard for spearheading a successful and sustainable resource conservation program at the school.

Pickard, the Associated Student

Body student leadership advisor, helped her students take ownership of the school recycling and composting program. Her ASB students pick up recycling containers from each class at Issaquah Middle School each week. Last year, the leadership students gave ecofriendly presentations in every classroom at the school.

“It’s helped improve our recycling efforts because our students get to see firsthand if students are recycling or are not recycling,” Pickard said.

Haider created a green team, and soon all types of students, not just those in ASB, were helping the school conserve resources and water.

Pickard helped the school reach Level 1 Green School status. Then, Haider helped the school reach the tougher-to-achieve Level 2 status through water conservation and by installing a school organic garden with the help of teacher and co-advisor Kurt Wieland.

“Kids at this age need to feel

that they are making a difference, that they can make a difference,” Haider said. “That they have the power to change things.”

The recycling rate at Issaquah High School concerned senior Kate Brunette, another Earth Heroes honoree.

So, Brunette gathered support from the city and the county Green Schools Program, and reached out to students, custodial staff members, teachers and administrators to implement strategies to increase recycling. The efforts included adding food waste collection to the program.

Brunette and senior Maria Schandl started the Roots and Shoots environmental club as sophomores. Students usually remember to recycle, but reminding classmates to compost is more work, Brunette said.

“People are pretty good at recycling because it’s a habit,” she added. “For the first two weeks (of composting), we had monitors at stations tell people where to throw

stuff away.”

David Holbrook started the recycling program on the first day of school at the just-opened Creekside Elementary School. In the first month, the recycling rate at the school reached 55 percent.

(Creekside opened last August.)

In addition, Holbrook supports all conservation efforts at Creekside, and uses eco-friendly cleaning products to maintain the campus’ sustainable features.

Constantine plans to honor the local honorees and others from across the county at a ceremony April 14.

Issaquah district schools often clean up in the Earth Heroes competition.

Cascade Ridge Elementary School, Maywood Middle School and Pine Lake Middle School received schoolwide awards last year.

Earthquake inspires students to delve into Japanese culture

By Laura Geggel Issaquah Press reporter The day after Japan’s March 11 earthquake, Skyline High School students sat in a concerned, stunned silence watching footage from the magnitude-9 quake and tsunami that had wrecked the country’s northern coast.

“As a group they immediately sensed that they were witnessing devastating history,” social studies teacher Cari Crane said.

Her class had studied Asian history and literature, and Japan was its next focus. Both Crane and her students wanted to raise awareness about Japan and its natural disasters, and they brainstormed the idea of a teach-in, she said.

The students worked with the Japanese club, targeting topics —

including earthquake preparedness and seismology, as well as Japanese art and religion.

Hundreds of students and community members filtered through the school’s upper commons March 30, learning about both Japan and the tragedies it experienced.

Freshman Courtney Cohen helped design a poster detailing how social media, such as Twitter and Facebook, had portrayed the devastation in Japan. Soon after the quake, people started tweeting at high rates, and people began forming Facebook groups telling people how to donate, she said.

Freshman Anya Niehaus developed a new respect for YouTube, the popular site that allows the public to upload, watch and comment on videos. She noticed peo-

ple left messages reaching out to Japan on videos about the earthquakes and tsunami.

“They’re showing their support of Japan or their experiences if they experienced the quake,” she said.

At another poster, students detailed how people could prepare for an earthquake, including making a first-aid kit and a go-bag filled with clothes, emergency money, water and food.

After doing her project, freshman Jessie Spung learned “that my family is not nearly as prepared as it should be.”

Across the commons, Crystal Liang manned a booth about Japanese energy, culture, food and religion.

She explained that though Japan has coalmines, it does not have enough coal to sustain its energy

Students need to know their rights Student rights. What do they mean? Where do we stand? At what point do the national laws cross the school rights?

These are questions few know the answer to, yet they hold a fundamental impact on our daily lives. The right to free speech, freedom of religion and the right to a public education — along with others — these essential human rights are the basis for the functioning school system.

Many students feel that their rights are violated when their phones are taken or their lockers are searched.

However, the law states that when there is reasonable suspicion, police are allowed to search any possession. Lockers are the only exception to the search-and-

Hall Monitor Marley Kirkham Issaquah High School seizure rule. Police are permitted to search any locker because it is school property, but police are not allowed to open bags or purses in them without cause. As for the possession of phones, no staff, teacher or any other student has the right to look through your phone without reasonable suspicion.

A key way to protect your student rights is to learn them!

If you do not know your rights, how do you know if they are being violated? Research online for state student rights, and for a narrower search look in your schoolauthorized planner. All of the major issues of public school are addressed in the school planner.

By signing the consent form in the beginning of the year, you are saying that you have read all of the rules and understand them. If you have questions about your rights at school, the best place to look for information is the planner or to speak to a staff member.

Student rights are incredibly important and set the underaged apart from adults and children.

Do not let yours or others’ rights be taken or violated. Educate about student rights!

needs, which could be part of the equation for why the nation depended on nuclear power plants.

Senior Andrew Yoon came to the teach-in to learn more about Japan — and to sample the Japanese cuisine.

“I’ve learned a lot from the news,” he said. “It was really sad because I have a lot of family in Korea, and like, it could have been them.”

Each booth had a collection jar, and by the day’s end the students had raised $450, an amount they are donating to Peace Winds America, a Seattle-based relief organization helping Japan.

The collection jar at the seismology table had amassed a handful of coins. There, four girls had created models showing the different types of earthquake faults. Their poster explained the different seismic waves — including the fastmoving compression and decompression P-waves, the slower wavelike moving S-waves.

Freshman Morgan Alverson learned that the fault that caused the Japanese earthquake is similar to a fault on Washington’s coast, called Cascadia. The Cascadia subduction zone has been dormant for about 300 years, and scientists ex-

Council declares Sexual Assault Awareness Month King County leaders declared April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month to recognize sexual assault survivors and highlight efforts to prevent future violence.

“This recognition serves as a reminder to perpetrators that sexual assault is not acceptable under any circumstances, and they will be prosecuted,” King County Councilwoman Kathy Lambert, the Issaquah representative, said in a release after the council issued the declaration April 4.

“We also can remind victims that sexual violence is not their fault, and they should seek help to escape abuse and to heal. It is time to ‘end the silence’ on sexual assault.”

Sexual Assault Awareness Month started a decade ago as a means to join communities in a concerted effort to stop sexual violence.

The council acted last year to preserve some funds in the 2011 county budget for organizations aiding sexual assault victims.

“Even during these challenging times with our county budget, King County continues to be committed to providing the survivors of these

heinous acts the resources they need,” council Chairman Larry Gossett said.

King County executive aims to boost electronics recycling King County could break ground by requiring responsible electronics recycling for county departments.

County Executive Dow Constantine proposed legislation late last month to ensure all county agencies recycle computer monitors, mobile phones, TVs and other discarded electronics through environmentally sound practices.

The county could become the first in the state — and the second in the United States — to enact such a measure.

“King County agencies recycled more than 90,000 pounds of electronic equipment in 2010 and they did it the right way — under contract with an excellent local e-Steward recycler Total Reclaim,” Constantine said in a release. “This ordinance will ensure that our agencies always use an approved recycler and pursue the most responsible recycling practices for their elec-

tronic waste.”

The proposed legislation also aims to update surplus auction practices by requiring all electronic equipment to be functioning and in working order.

The ordinance seeks to codify electronics recycling practices and qualify the county to earn the eSteward Enterprise designation from the Basel Action Network’s standard for responsible electronics recycling and reuse.

Santa Clara County, Calif., in the Silicon Valley, is the only other local government to achieve the certification.

The certification calls for King County to agree to make the best effort to work with e-Steward recyclers. The recyclers undergo a professional audit every year to guarantee the companies do not export hazardous recycling byproducts to developing countries, use prison labor in the United States or dump in municipal landfills.

“At this pivotal moment in the worldwide e-waste crisis, King County joins a growing number of business, academic and governmental leaders taking action to stem a toxic tide,” Basel Action Network Executive Director Jim Puckett said.

Twin Falls hike offers twice the fun

goes to Twin Falls

By Rusty Rae and Sheila Hunter

Y

ou don’t need to spend an arm and a leg to get away — a simple hike can do wonders for your psyche, and in the Snoqualmie Valley there are numerous choices, including Little Si, Mount Si and Rattlesnake Ridge.

But a favorite is the Twin Falls hike, because it offers something for everyone in the family and is a walk that everyone — including grandparents, toddlers and the family dog — can manage.

This family-friendly Twin Falls hike meanders along the South Fork of the Snoqualmie River, through the forest of the Iron Horse State Park portion of the John Wayne Trail. Power hikers can do the whole hike in less than three hours while those looking to explore further can easily make it a day round-trip. Setting this trek apart from others is that the journey abounds with the soul-soothing sounds of the rushing river, the many views of the river, the pacifying scents of pine trees and an eyeful of restful greenery.

Like your favorite novel perhaps, the 1.5-mile hike to the falls can be divided into thirds, which we humorously dubbed the stroll-and-strain, the sideshow and the prize.

The stroll-and-strain The first third follows the river. Here, there are ample opportunities to stop for breaks, sip some water, throw rocks into the river or partake of your favorite trail snack, like apples, trail bars or nuts. We really find a rainforest feel to the trail from the variety of moss that envelops the trees.

At one point, the trail sharply bends left around a huge stone wedge and starts uphill. This section may be a bit taxing if you are not in shape, so slow and steady is the best advice. After a series of short switchbacks, you’ll arrive at

GETTING THERE Take Exit 34 off Interstate 90, known locally as “the Truck Town exit.” From eastbound, turn right onto 468th Street. A small sign for Olallie State Park is on the right.

Turn left there and follow the paved road to the trailhead. Note: If you cross the bridge on 468th Street, you have gone too far.

A few things to remember If you pack it in — please pack it out.

Keep Fido on a leash — the fine for not doing so is $87.

Hiking in the Cascades requires the 10 essentials — Google “10 essentials” if you’re unfamiliar with this.

Temperatures are 10 to 15 degrees cooler than in the Snoqualmie Valley, and the accumulated annual rainfall is twice that of Seattle’s, so dress accordingly. And remember, the layered look is Northwest chic when hiking the Cascade trails.

a ridge where there are benches for resting, and you can take in a sweeping view of the forest and your first glimpse of Twin Falls.

The sideshow The second third spans from the bench on the ridge to the base view of the falls, with a fork along the way that leads to the sideshow. From the bench, descend down to the level of the riverbed. The trail splits at an ancient fenced-in cedar tree. The path to the right takes you to a breathtaking view of the magnificent lower falls.

This route to river’s edge is not an easy trail, so a word to the wise. At the river, follow the riverbank upstream.

Eventually you come to the spectacular viewpoint looking up at the lower falls.

Be a little careful here. Not only is the

Once you arrive at the top of the ridge, there are ample places to stop for a rest, including two benches.

As the water leaves the falls there are many rocks that it swirls over, under and around.

But the view is well worth the effort and offers boundless photo opportunities.

The prize To reach the “official” viewpoint of the lower falls, take the trail to the left. This is a short uphill hike that, after about 400 feet gain in elevation, takes you to a set of stairs that leads to a prize viewpoint of the falls. Continuing this gentle uphill journey leads to a bridge where you have a close-up view of the upper falls. For the more adventuresome, you can walk past the upper falls and take in the view from further uphill.

The three-mile round-trip hike has an elevation gain of 500 feet and can be completed with children in a few hours — longer, if you stop to smell the proverbial roses, eat a snack along the way and make a photograph here and there.
