Employees juggle deliveries, orientations as highlands hospital readies for debut

By Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporter The gurneys and greeting cards, mammography machines and mannequins, scalpels and Starbucks cups arrive in a seemingly endless caravan.

The pieces needed to open the Swedish Medical Center campus in the Issaquah Highlands started to trickle in months ago as the hospital neared completion. Now, as the July 9 opening celebration approaches, the trickle increases more and more each day to a deluge.

Inside the hospital, installation teams roam the corridors as construction crews add the last touches to the space. Downstairs, a physicist is testing a humongous linear accelerator, a piece of equipment used in the fight against cancer. On the loading dock, truck after truck drops off the interlocking pieces needed to operate the campus — a manifest encompassing medical equipment, office supplies and merchandise for the

shops in the sun-splashed lobby.

The campus’ initial phase opens to patients July 14. The portion containing the hospital beds is due to open in November — earlier than the projected February 2012 opening date.

In the meantime, staff members, such as Susan Terry, director of interventional services for the hospital, continue to settle in.

“So far, we’ve been working in a very virtual world, so everything is on spreadsheets or pieces of paper or in our heads or on a computer or filed away in a box somewhere, so it’s hard to keep all of that information straight in your mind,” she said days before relocating to the hospital. “I think, for us, it’s going to be nice to be able to get into the real world and be able to actually see what we have, so that we can identify where the gaps are.”

Terry leads the interventional platform team, the group responsible for all procedural areas on the campus, including the operating rooms and cardiac catheterization lab.

Issaquah residents face a choice in a single City Council race, and a trio of council members appears likely to cruise to election unchallenged.

Challenger TJ Filley entered the race against incumbent Councilman Joshua Schaer on June 10, as the candidate-filing period closed.

Incumbent Councilman Fred Butler, appointed Councilwoman Stacy Goodman and candidate Paul Winterstein did not attract opponents for the other council seats up for election in November.

In the races for the Issaquah School Board, incumbents Brian Deagle and Suzanne Weaver face challengers in the nonpartisan races.

Weaver faces Maple Valley resident Joseph Arnaud and Issaquah resident Brian Neville to retain the Director District No. 5 seat. Weaver, a Sammamish resident, has served on the board since January 2007.

Meanwhile, longtime board member Jan Woldseth Colbrese did not file to run for re-election.

Bellevue resident Anne Moore is running unopposed for Colbrese’s post.

Though political newcomers had a handful of City Council races to choose from, only Schaer attracted a challenger. The race is nonpartisan.

Filley, a downtown Issaquah

Almost every school in the Issaquah School District will start and end 15 minutes later this fall because elementary school parents complained about inconsistent start times.

Since 2003, Issaquah’s teachers have used early-release Wednesdays — called Mission Defined Staff Design Days — as time for meetings, lesson planning and professional development. In turn, students start and end school at different times on Wednesdays, compared to the rest of the week.

Most elementary schools start times began either 15 minutes earlier or later every Wednesday, a measure that confused parents

and resulted in more tardy students than on other days.

On Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, an average of 2 percent of elementary school students were tardy districtwide. On Wednesdays, the average of tardy students increased to 4 percent, Associate Superintendent Ron Thiele said.

District administrators reexamined bus route times so they could make start times more consistent. Originally, elementary schools had different start times on Wednesdays because bus drivers didn’t have enough time to get to their next route.

Eastside Fire & Rescue station showcases ‘green’ innovations City Council authorizes $47,000 art piece for building

By Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporter Construction is almost complete on Eastside Fire & Rescue Station 72 — a showcase for “green” innovations adjacent to the Issaquah Transit Center — and firefighters should start settling into the sleek structure in August.

The facility is designed to replace the aging Station 72 less than a mile down Northwest Maple Street from the construction site.

The city, architect and EFR

designed the modern Station 72 to use as little energy and water as possible.

The building includes a system to pump heat from the ground, photovoltaic cells to catch sunlight and triple-paned windows to reduce heat loss — enough features to achieve the toughest standards from the U.S. Green Building Council.

“This project is just much ‘greener’ than anything just about anybody has done,” city Project Manager Brad Liljequist said.

The existing Station 72, a temporary structure meant to last five years, opened 11 years ago. City Council members initiated the design process for a replacement in 2007. The updated station includes “green” features from early in the conceptualization.

Construction started on the $4.3 million station in June 2010.

Liljequist also serves as project manager for zHome, a townhouse community in the Issaquah Highlands designed to produce as much energy as the units consume.

The project offered important lessons for Station 72, he said.

“A lot of the time with these extreme ‘green’ projects, one of the things that I think holds people back the most is fear of the unknown,” he continued. “There’s always that, ‘OK, how far can we push the envelope?’ And there’s just always a learning curve associated with it.”

Issaquah man faces child molestation charge

By Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporter King County prosecutors said a 38-year-old Issaquah man molested a 15-year-old boy he met on craigslist.

Eric N. Victorson faces a thirddegree child molestation charge, after prosecutors said he responded to a “hook up” ad on the popular classifieds site and then met the boy in Redmond. The defendant is a convicted sex offender; he was charged with third-degree child molestation in 1998, court documents state.

Police arrested Victorson in Redmond for driving under the influence at about 2:30 a.m. June

2. The officer stopped Victorson’s Infiniti sedan for a traffic violation and noticed the boy in the passenger seat.

Prosecutors said Victorson appeared intoxicated, although he denied drinking alcohol. He then agreed to participate in field sobriety tests. Police arrested him for driving under the influence after he blew a 0.082 on a portable breath test device. The legal limit for driving is 0.08.

The officer then spoke to the passenger. The boy said Victorson had replied to a posting the boy had made on craigslist earlier in the night. The boy said he met Victorson after sneaking out of his home, court documents state. The

Local lawmakers rank high for missed votes

By Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporter The lawmakers representing Issaquah and the 5th Legislative District in Olympia ranked near the top for the number of missed votes during the 2011 regular and special sessions.

The information, released June 1 in a report from the nonpartisan organization WashingtonVotes.org, shows state Rep. Jay Rodne missed 120 votes during the during the 60-day regular session and the 30day special session due to family emergencies. State representatives held 714 roll-call votes during the sessions.

The absences put Rodne, a Republican, in the No. 2 spot for missed votes in the 98-member House of Representatives. State Rep. Glenn Anderson, another 5th District Republican, ranked No. 3 after missing 82 votes.

In the upper chamber, 5th District state Sen. Cheryl Pflug tied for No. 8 on the missed votes list after missing 49 votes. State senators held 648 roll-call votes during the regular and special sessions.

“There are many reasons why legislators miss votes, such as meetings with constituents, other lawmakers or dealing with unexpected emergencies,” WashingtonVotes.org Director Brandon Houskeeper said in a statement.

Legislators toiled throughout the sessions to slash spending in order

to plug a $5 billion budget gap.

“Typically, because they’re packing a lot of work into a short session, in the time leading up to these cutoff dates, activity ramps up,” said John Barnes, communications director of the Washington Policy Center, the independent, nonpartisan think tank behind WashingtonVotes.org.

“Right before the cutoff date, they can be voting on a whole slew of bills. In a very short span of time, a lawmaker can go from missing no votes to missing dozens of votes.”

WashingtonVotes.org asked the top five lawmakers in each chamber to respond to the 2011 missed votes report. Anderson did not include a response.

“This session, I was forced to miss many votes due to circumstances beyond my control. My wife unfortunately had two family members pass away during session that required my absence from Olympia to support my wife and her family,” Rodne said in a response included in the report.

“Additionally, the Legislature worked several weekends this session that coincided with my military reserve obligations, from which I could not be excused.”

Rodne serves as a colonel in the United States Marine Corps Reserve.

The tally represents a marked shift from the 2010 legislative sessions for the 5th District representatives. Then, Rodne missed

boy also told the officer he was 15 and his parents did not know he had left the home.

Prosecutors said Victorson sent lewd photographs to the boy’s cellphone, and then met him in Redmond. In a Redmond neighborhood, Victorson and the boy then disrobed inside the Infiniti, and Victorson touched the boy’s genitals, court documents state.

They left the area after a homeowner noticed the vehicle and told Victorson to leave. They planned to drive to Victorson’s home in Issaquah, the documents continue.

Then, officers arrested him for driving under the influence.

Questioned about the boy by the officer, Victorson claimed he is “a

Pflug, a Republican, held the No. 4 spot on the missed vote list last year and in 2009.

Democrat Deb Eddy, a 48th Legislative District representative, missed 39 votes — not enough to rank in the top 10.

good friend from work” he had known for a while, the documents said.

The boy claimed to be 18 in the craigslist posting. Victorson also lied about his age, telling the boy he is 27, prosecutors said. In addition, “a review of text messages shows that Victorson made no attempt to verify” the boy’s age, court documents state.

Victorson is being held at the King County Jail in lieu of $250,000 bail. He is due to be arraigned in King County Superior Court on June 20.

EFR could ask for more funding from cities

By Caleb Heeringa Issaquah Press reporter Eastside Fire & Rescue may need more than a 4 percent increase in funding from its partners in 2012.

The agency’s administration presented its draft budget to board members at their June 9 meeting.

The budget predicts an $855,000 increase in expenses, due to more than $600,000 in increased labor and benefit costs.

Deputy Chief Wes Collins said the projected wage increases are a best guess by the administration, based on current cost-of-liv-

ing rates.

The agency is in negotiations with its firefighters’ union and hopes to arrange for the current labor contract to be renewed for several more years, Collins said. If the existing contract is not extended and the agency and union start from scratch on a new contract, EFR may have to budget a placeholder amount until negotiations wrap up later in 2012.

The current labor contract calls for firefighters to receive wage increases based on how they compare to firefighters in neighboring departments. In years past, this

has led to automatic wage increases of 3 percent or 4 percent. But the union agreed to freeze its wages in 2010 and took a .2 percent increase in 2011.

Just like last year, Sammamish’s representatives on the board, Mayor Don Gerend and Deputy Mayor Tom Odell, have asked that the agency draft alternative budgets that show what would happen if the partners had a smaller 2 percent increase or no increase at all in their EFR bill.

The agency’s finance and operations committee will work on the budget in the coming months

move is Michelle Williams-Davis, logistics lead and process engineer. In order to coordinate the deliveries, she produces a list each morning and then, through constant communication, oversees the ebb and flow from packed trucks.

Because equipment is still coming, Williams-Davis and some other early arrivals work from lawn chairs in a high-tech command center.

Though the team is organized into shifts in order to smooth the transition to the hospital, “it doesn’t stop the emails late at night,” she said.

Despite the occasional logistics headache, Terry describes the hospital as a “1,000 percent upgrade” for the interventional platform team.

“Every time I’m out there, I have to stop at every window and take in the view,” she said. “Every view is just spectacular.”

The team is readying for the day patients shift from other Swedish campuses throughout the region to the highlands facility.

The imaging and emergency department teams should settle in before the end of the month. The completed hospital is designed to offer specialty care, including cardiology, oncology and obstetrics, as well as inpatient and outpatient surgery.

In the meantime, the move-in

process continues across the stateof-the-art campus.

“It will be the first time that many of the staff have actually seen the space they’ll be working in,” Terry said as the interventional platform team prepared for the move. “They don’t have a clue what they’re about ready to walk into, so I think it’s going to be pretty exciting for everybody.”

have consistent morning starts throughout the week.

Half-day kindergarten times are also changing. This fall, student release times are being rounded up to the nearest five minutes. For example, instead of getting out at 11:03 a.m., students will get out at 11:05 a.m.

“Ideally, it’s cleaner to round to the fives,” Thiele said.

The kindergarten time change will help equalize the hours morning and afternoon students spend in the classroom. Under the old model, afternoon students received about 14 more hours of instruction per year. With the new model, they will only receive one more hour of instruction.

The new school times are in compliance with staff contracts and state requirements.

Man rescued after paragliding accident Rescuers came to the aid of a man after a paragliding accident on Tiger Mountain on a sunny afternoon June 12.

The man, reportedly about 50 years old, had been on the west side of the mountain when he sustained injuries after colliding with a tree about one-quarter of a mile down Poo Poo Trail. He did not suffer life-threatening injuries and he remained conscious as rescuers transported him from the mountain.

The incident started at about 1:35 p.m. after the man slammed into a tree. Rescuers reached him about 30 minutes later and then plucked him from the mountain on a stretcher. Medics transported him to Virginia Mason Medical Center for additional treatment.

Crews from the King County Sheriff’s Office and Eastside Fire & Rescue aided the man.

Lawmakers to discuss legislative session in Issaquah Meet more than a dozen Eastside state lawmakers June 21 as business groups hold a legislative wrap-up in Issaquah.

The event is open to all Issaquah businesses. Join lawmakers at Timber Ridge at Talus, 100 Timber Ridge Way N.W., at 3:30 p.m. RSVP early at the East King County Chambers of Commerce Legislative Coalition website, www.eastkingchambers.org. The cost to attend is $20 and includes light appetizers.

The wrap-up will feature a chance to meet informally with Eastside legislators, followed by a moderated panel discussion on issues such as the state budget, education, job creation, economic vitality, transportation, state competitiveness, regulations and more.

The coalition included the Issaquah chamber and nine other Eastside chambers to advocate for local businesses and job growth.

“Issaquah’s businesspeople are looking forward to meeting with Eastside state leaders to discuss our shared goals of job creation on the Eastside, regional/state competitiveness, education excellence and more on June 21,” Issaquah Chamber of Commerce Matt Bott said in a news release.

EFR emphasizes training during safety event Eastside Fire & Rescue is joining other fire service organizations across the United States and Canada in observing the annual stand down for firefighter safety June 19-25.

The event’s theme, Surviving the Fire Ground, focuses on a firefighter’s situational awareness and personal safety during imminent danger.

The term “stand down” is a method used and recognized by the military to correct a problem.

For the event, the International Association of Fire Chiefs, the King County Fire Chiefs Association and other partners urge fire departments to suspend all nonemergency activity in recognition of the stand down and focusing entirely on firefighter survival.

The goal is to better prepare firefighters for daily activities. By incorporating federal regulations, proven incident-management best practices and other survival techniques, the training is designed to provide firefighters with the skills needed to improve situational awareness.

EFR firefighters recently completed live fire training at the Washington State Fire Training Academy. Starting June 19, the agency’s Training Division intends to focus on delivering survival-awareness training.

Police cite motorists for failing to buckle up Police issued 288 tickets for seatbelt offenses during a recent effort to encourage motorists to buckle up.

From May 23 to June 5, the Issaquah Police Department and other law enforcement agencies patrolled local roads at night, looking for unbelted motorists.

Overall, police issued more than 600 citations for seatbelt violations and other infractions.

The citations included 192 cellphone and texting violations, 40 speeding tickets and two aggressive driving infractions.

Officers made six misdemeanor warrant arrests, and issued 85 uninsured motorist and 24 suspended or revoked license violations.

Statewide, law enforcement officers and the Washington State Patrol wrote 6,681 tickets, including 2,994 seatbelt violations, during the patrols.

In King County, the Target Zero Task Force and local law enforcement agencies worked the extra patrols. Funding for the patrols

AT&T proposes constructing cell tower near school King County is considering a proposal from AT&T to build a 150-foot tall cell tower on the Sammamish Plateau near Endeavour Elementary School.

The telecommunications company applied for a permit from the King County Department of Development and Environmental Services to build a tower for cellular antennae and a shelter for equipment at 26325 S.E. 39th St., about a mile northeast of the Klahanie Center shopping complex and less than a half-mile from the elementary school.

The county permitting agency is in the process of determining potential environmental impacts of the projects. Residents can send comments about the environmental impacts to DDES — Building and Fire Services Division, 900 Oakesdale Ave. S.W., Renton, WA 98057-5212.

The public comment period ends June 30.

Residents can also review the applications and any environmental studies at the Renton office.

City approves replacing antennae on tower The city has approved AT&T’s application to replace antennae and add equipment to the existing cell tower near Providence Point.

AT&T applied to the city to replace some antennae, as well as add six remote radio heads, a surge protector and cable lines to the 110-foot tall structure. The remote radio heads optimize information being transmitted through the antennae.

The municipal Planning Department received AT&T’s application in late April and approved the application May 27.

The telecommunications giant intends to install the equipment alongside existing wireless equipment. The tower is near the base of a water tank reservoir at 4441 228th Ave. S.E. The existing reservoir and AT&T equipment sit near the southeastern end of the site.

Food bank launches Tuesday lunch activities This summer, the Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank is launching a Summer Lunch Program aimed at children looking for fun activities and healthy snacks.

Construction starts on Darst Park pedestrian path Crews are scheduled to start building a pedestrian path through Emily Darst Park soon.

The city awarded a contract to Sammamish-based WB Contracting for the project, part of the mitigation for the Interstate 90 Undercrossing Project. Plans called for crews to upgrade the park to replace wetlands destroyed during construction of the undercrossing and a pedestrian connector at the interstate and state Route 900.

The path should be completed

by June 30. Planners issued a notice for the contractor to proceed May 19.

The park encompasses 12 acres on the east bank of Issaquah Creek, south of Pickering Barn and north of the interstate. The regional East Lake Sammamish Regional Trail follows the park’s eastern boundary and the Pickering Trail traverses the property.

OPINION

Lack of challengers means lackluster vote PRESS E DITORIAL

To our complete surprise, it looks like this year’s Issaquah City Council races will be about as lackluster as they come.

We are not surprised that incumbent Fred Butler has no challenger, given his long history of service to the city, the county and numerous community causes. He was a shoo-in.

Only incumbent Joshua Schaer will have an opponent. Late Friday, TJ Filley filed against him. Only these two candidates will give us any real conversation about the way the city deals with growth and development issues, spends taxpayer dollars and provides basic public services.

Where the heck are the applicants who sought appointment to the open council seat in January? There were nine of them then, all espousing their desire to serve. Stacy Goodman got the appointment, and Paul Winterstein, the only other nominee for the appointment, has filed unopposed for retiring Councilman John Traeger.

City Council members went out of their way to express their pleasure that so many well-qualified candidates had applied for the open seat. And we agree, they were an impressive lot. So where are they now?

Of course, life changes could have occurred since then, but to all remaining seven? We have to assume that either egos have gotten in the way and they can’t face the rejection of a loss, or the work of a campaign is just too hard. Yes, a campaign is tough, forcing candidates to get clear on their public positions while soliciting votes. But it is also a good test for the hard work to follow, should they win election.

The only other explanation is that the citizens — other than Filley — are quite content with the way the city is being run.

O FF T HE P RESS

Class of 2011, embrace life’s bungee jumps In keeping with the tradition of previous years, this is the condensed commencement speech I heard from a student or adult at graduation that, in my opinion, stood out from the rest. Enjoy!

— Greg Farrar Boyd Cottom, student speaker Liberty High School I’m not here to make some profound statements about motivation and progress for the rest of our lives; I was voted as class speaker to tell you about what high school has done for me, and hopefully what it has done for everyone graduating today.

At the beginning of my Liberty experience I was that kid who didn’t talk much, didn’t do much, wasn’t very funny, never joined in with anything and didn’t have that many friends, and that lasted a good three years. I spent most of my lunches in the dungeon of Liberty eating with people in the hall, watching the clock so I could go to my next class. Yeah, I was kind of a loner.

During those years, my mom was dealing with the end of a long and painful battle with breast cancer, and so was my Aunt Denise. Thankfully they both beat it, and that whole time my mom never slowed down, never gave cancer an inch. She should have been resting and healing, but no, she was up and about, weeding gardens and going camping with me and my sister. She told me during her fight that you never know how short life is going to be until it ends, so you should live it up for all its worth. And I took that to heart.

Senior year started and I thought, ‘Well, I’m going to stop being boring.’ So I went to every single varsity football game this year; I went to Morp, my first school dance. I went to two of the plays this year, and the talent

show. I also hosted this year’s Mr. Liberty with J.D. Charest, and I’m not going to lie, it was one of the coolest things I have ever been a part of, even though I had to carry J.D. on my back most of the time. One of the biggest parts of my senior year was senior prom, the only dance I actually had a date with me.

Now, Mr. Darnell told us all last year that we would never remember our high school dances when we were all grown up. I disagree. I think I’ll remember senior prom in much more clarity than I will remember how to AVMS historical documents, but maybe that’s just me.

So, seniors, tonight is our night.

We have tonight to congratulate ourselves for the last 18 years of our lives, which have all led up to this moment. Now, parents, I know you’re really happy right now for us, but just remember there’s a good four to eight years of college for most of us, too, and remember that we love you so much.

I’m going to leave you with this idea, so years down the road, when you’re working in a cubicle or punching your time card, you can think about this.

You never know how short your life is going to be, or how long it’s going to be. So when you’re looking at vacations or trying to decide if you should go bungee jumping, or just hang out with a good friend, do it.

If my mom only taught me one thing, though she definitely taught me a lot, the most important thing is to live your life to the fullest, don’t let anything in your way stop you from just letting go and having fun. As Tim McGraw says, “Live Like You’re Dying,” because you never know when you might die.

So let’s live up the rest of the night for what it’s worth, and think about how much we’ve accomplished, because ladies and gentlemen, we made it. Thank you.

Elementary school science

Help replace state shortfall to fund local science curriculum replacement Every child is born a scientist, full of wonder, curiosity and a desire to explore, and elementary school is the perfect time to expand on that natural interest. We have the opportunity to do that through the Elementary Science Initiative, a community effort to bring new science curriculum to our district’s more than 8,000 elementary school students.

Did you know our state took back $1.45 million from our local school budget this year?

This was a huge unprecedented action and as a result our district cannot fund the full curriculum purchase. The district has committed $700,000 for two-thirds of the curriculum, and teacher training and development, and community groups are working to raise the remaining $500,000.

We were a bit underwhelmed with the science instruction when our kids were in primary school, so we fed our kids’ curiosity with family field trips and home projects. The new curriculum materials are fantastic — captivating, diverse, full of hands-on experiences, and in sync with our state’s new standards.

Let’s make sure our youngest students have this exciting, challenging curriculum to foster a lifelong interest in the wide world of science. It will serve them well personally, help them transition to the higher rigors of middle school and high school science, and maybe even lead them to rewarding career options.

Please, visit www.issaquahscience.org by June 30 to learn more and help fund this important cause.

In January, in an unprecedented maneuver, the state took back money allotted to the Issaquah School District in order to balance its own budget.

For this reason, the new elementary school science curriculum adoption in Issaquah is in jeopardy, as the money our district has budgeted for it is now gone. Our science curriculum is more than 10 years old and does not align to current state standards.

However, thanks to a partnership between the district, the Issaquah Schools Foundation and Issaquah PTSAs, the cause is not a hopeless one.

I encourage each resident of Issaquah to visit the Elementary Science Initiative webpage, to get excited about the possibilities for our students and to feel a responsibility to our own children, to our neighbor’s children and to all future students in Issaquah, and to pull out our checkbooks and give to this great cause.

Together, we can make a difference in the

Northwest Area senior manager, Allied Waste Services

Too much leeway is given to bicyclists Driving down one of our higher speed roadways recently, my progress was slowed as I approached a long line of automobiles and trucks.

Following in their tracks, I ultimately came upon the reason for the decreased speed in both directions — a bicyclist pedaling along the edge of the driving lane due to an almost nonexistent shoulder. As each vehicle passed, each driver resumed his/her faster speed.

Put in perspective, one individual is legally allowed to compromise the safety, time, convenience and expense of a majority. To further tip the scale, there are no licensing requirements for either bicyclists or bicycles.

According to an article in the June 1 Press, Washington is again ranked as the “friendliest state for bicyclists.” Unfortunately, I feel this is more a reflection of highly organized, effective, aggressive promoters and lobbyists than it is a general consensus of our state’s population.

Motorized vehicles are the work horses supporting our lifestyle. I think we need to examine what is prudent for the greatest number and what is being given up to allow this special-interest group its current privileged existence.

As one of the coordinators of this year’s Hire America’s Heroes events, I am pleased to see your coverage of House Bill 1432, which allows employers the option to give veterans preference for employment. In my work with this organization and in my role as the human resources manager for Allied Waste Services, a Republic Services Co., I am excited about the potential this legislation has to help transition veterans and their families to civilian life.

Currently, Allied Waste employs numerous veterans and, speaking from personal experience, they are some of the most talented and capable people in our company. It is an honor and a privilege to work side by side with those who have defended our country and freedom at home and abroad. We thank all of the men and women in the military, as well as their families, for their dedication and service.

On behalf of Hire America’s Heroes and Allied Waste Services, we would like to thank Gov. Gregoire and the many legislators who voted for HB1432. We also extend our deepest appreciation to David Black, the attorney who

World Humanist Day

Thank you, school board, for supporting secular group holiday celebration I want to thank the Issaquah School Board for becoming the first public school board in the nation (to my knowledge) to officially recognize World Humanist Day, a holiday celebrated by many secular humanists. The school district’s facilities scheduling calendar (www.events.issaquah.wednet.edu/VEMS2/BrowseEvents.aspx) and student art calendar (www.issaquah.wednet.edu/documents/artcal/10-11/June11.pdf) both show that World Humanist Day is celebrated every year on June 21.

Humanists of Washington, a local group based in Seattle, describes secular humanism as follows: “We espouse a life-affirming, secular view of the universe built on a foundation of reason, science and democracy. We support intellectual freedom, free inquiry, critical thinking and human compassion. As a result of these principles, we believe in self-responsibility and self-determination. We hold that human beings are autonomous centers of ethical and moral development and do not require the guidance or leadership of supernatural beings.

“We believe that each human being is born filled with promise and that no one is burdened with original sin, nor condemned to live in guilt nor in need of salvation from outside the self. . . . We take responsibility for our own lives and relish the adventure of being part of new discoveries, seeking new knowledge, exSee LETTERS, Page A5

The Mountains to Sound Greenway is a vital and important resource for everyone

s a college student, it’s easy to blame past generations for the rising national debt and any number of other problems my generation will be dealing with as we grow older. But in Washington, my parents’ generation did at least one thing right. Twenty years ago, a group of citizens came together to form the Mountains to Sound

HOW TO REGISTER TO VOTE In order to cast a ballot in the Aug. 16 primary election, King County residents must register to vote by July 18.

In order to register as a Washington voter, a person must be a U.S. citizen, a Washington resident, at least 18 by Election Day and not under the authority of the state Department of Corrections.

Voters do not have to register by political party or declare political party membership to vote in primary or general elections.

Find a full list of requirements and registration forms at the King County Elections website, www.kingcounty.gov/elections.

If a person does not register to vote online or by mail by the July deadline, he or she can register in person at the elections office, 9010 E. Marginal Way S., Tukwila, until Aug. 8.

after a competitive process. Plans call for a $47,000 piece featuring yellow, orange and red LED lighting. The artwork incorporates a resin made from about 50 percent recycled materials. “When she was designing the artwork, she was really mindful of the materials that she was choosing because she wanted something that would require the least amount of maintenance, since it is going to be large-scale and mounted on the side of the building,� city Arts Coordinator Amy Dukes told council members.

Under city code, such projects require one-half of 1 percent of the initial $5 million in a project’s budget, plus one-quarter of 1 percent of the amount exceeding $5 million, to be used for public art.

Using the formula, the city budgeted $32,000 for Station 72 public art. In addition, the municipal Arts Commission recommended another $10,000 in public art funding for the project.

The additional $5,000 in costs resulted because the artist changed the piece to incorporate more eco-friendly materials. “The total request is actually $47,000 because the artist designed an artwork and then, in order to have the artwork align with the LEED certification of the

ploring new options. Instead of finding solace in prefabricated answers to the great questions of human existence, we enjoy the open-ended quest and the freedom of discovery.�

The Issaquah School Board’s decision to embrace this secular humanist holiday is significant.

About 25 percent of our state’s residents are not religious, so it’s reasonable to estimate that roughly 25 percent of the students, parents and teachers in the Issaquah School District are nonreligious.

Surveys have repeatedly shown that atheists, a subset of that nonreligious group, are hated and distrusted more than any other minority group. Hatred and distrust lead to bullying and discrimination.

So, it is wonderful that the Issaquah School Board has taken a positive step toward helping students and the entire community to understand and respect everyone.

Schaer, running for a second term on the council, outpaced Issaquah Highlands resident Vincent Ippolito by a mere 274 votes out of 5,274 ballots cast in the November 2007 council election.

In the other council races, Butler is poised to clinch a fourth term.

have been permanently protected and now it’s time for the next generation to step up to make sure the greenway continues to thrive.

Following 20 years of growth, the greenway now runs from Ellensburg to Seattle’s waterfront, and the Greenway Trust continues to promote land acquisitions, connect the regional trail system, improve recreation access, and create new parks and trails.

From hiking the Snoqualmie Valley or taking in the view from the top of Mount Si, we living in Washington take for granted the outdoor recreation that’s all around us. It takes the effort of thousands of volunteers every year to maintain these natural areas, improve trails and keep the greenway healthy.

While college students are

home for the summer, there are dozens of ways to contribute to the greenway. Sign up for a volunteer weekend event clearing a trail or removing invasive species, volunteer for a youth summer camp, or if you are really ambitious, sign up for the nineday Greenway March from Ellensburg to Seattle.

The greenway came about because the community saw the threat of rapid population growth, and as the region continues to grow, we have to remain committed to protecting open spaces.

College students, business and civic leaders, and people who care about the Pacific Northwest way of life need to continue the work that began 20 years ago.

Enjoy the Seattle area summer, but do your part to help preserve the Pacific Northwest landscape.

The council picked Winterstein, a city Human Services Commission member, as the other finalist for McCarry’s former seat. In the initial balloting round, members deadlocked in a 3-3 tie between Goodman and Winterstein. Schaer cast the decisive vote to appoint Goodman.

Council President John Traeger opted out of a run for another term April 28, and endorsed candidate Winterstein for the seat.

Members serve at large and represent the entire city, rather than specific neighborhoods or defined geographic areas.

Unlike council members, school board members represent a defined geographic area. The school district includes 98,660 residents in a region from Preston to Newcastle, and from Sammamish to Renton.

Countywide, 503 people filed for election to city councils, school boards and special-use districts by the June 10 deadline. The lineup could change again, because candidates can withdraw until 4:30 p.m. June 16.

In the Issaquah area, only one candidate filed for each of the open seats on the Fire District 10 and the Sammamish Plateau Water and Sewer District boards.

In the water district election, incumbents Tom Harman and Lloyd Warren did not attract challengers.

The district includes encompasses North Issaquah neighborhoods, including Providence Point, and Klahanie in unincorporated King County.

In the fire district election, Michael Fisette and Donald Smith did not attract challengers, either.

Washingtonians to continue the legacy of the Mountains to Sound Greenway and now is the time to get to work.

Jacob McClelland, a sophomore at Montana State University in Bozeman, Mont., is a Preston resident and avid hiker. He has been a part of the Mountains to Sound Greenway since before he was born. His mother hiked in the original Greenway March from Snoqualmie Pass to the Seattle Waterfront in 1990, when she was six months pregnant with him. When Jacob was 10, he went on the Mountains to Sound Greenway’s 10th Anniversary March to raise awareness about this special area that is key to our quality of life in the Pacific Northwest. This summer, Jacob will lead youths in the Mountains to Sound Greenway’s 20th Anniversary Trek, a nine-day hike and bike adventure from Ellensburg to Seattle. Go to www.mtsgreenway.org for more information.

District 10 is a part of Eastside Fire & Rescue.

In a nonpartisan Port of Seattle commissioner race, Democrat Dean Willard, a Sammamish resident and onetime state House of Representatives candidate, is running against Republican incumbent Bill Bryant. Candidate Will “Walkin’ Will� Knedlik is also in the race.

Voters should start to receive primary election ballots after July 27. The deadline to return primary ballots is 8 p.m. Aug. 16.

Expect more than cars to cruise in to Fenders on Front Street

By Laura Geggel Issaquah Press reporter Dick Baker drove Harley motorcycles for 25 years until he switched to classic cars.

“My wife has always called me ‘motorman,’ because if it has a motor, I’m probably going to like it,” said Baker, of Issaquah. “I was born that way.”

One of his prize cars, a 1932 Ford Roadster, will be on display for all to see at the sixth annual Fenders on Front Street Car Show and Cruise this Father’s Day, June 19.

Car registration is free, as is admittance to the show.

“If anyone has a nice car or a fast car or an interesting car, we’re going to open it to anybody coming down and showing it,” Fenders on Front Street co-chairman George Naumann said.

Mountains to Sound Greenway and the DownTown Issaquah Association are organizing the event.

The show is somewhat weather dependent. Last year, pouring rain kept some car owners home, and crowds saw about 200 cars at the show. In sunny 2009, more than 600 cars lined up on Front Street North.

“If the weather’s good, they all

show up,” Baker said.

Fenders on Front Street caters to the whole family. The first 250 children who come to the show will receive a free toy car from White Horse Toys.

Bands from the Kaleidoscope School of Music will play the whole day. The Studebakers will play at 11 a.m. at the Evergreen Ford Zone near Spirelli’s Artisan Eatery and Cascade Spa, while at the same time a band at Vino Bella will begin making melodies.

Springfree Trampoline, of Issaquah, will bring its trampolines for bouncing, and Gravity Janes will provide CrossFit athletes to work the handcart on the trolley tracks downtown. About a halfdozen people can fit on the handcart at one time.

“You can get it going pretty fast if you got the human power behind it, and we do,” Gravity Janes CrossFit Gym Owner Dave Young said. “It’s a great way to get a different kind of a workout in and have fun at the same time.”

Meanwhile, at the car show, judges will inspect each vehicle and award prizes at the historic Hailstone Feed Store. Some of the winners will be featured on next

Sponsored charities Though the event is free, its organizers are raising money for

two nonprofit organizations, through donations and drawings.

The Issaquah-based nonprofit Life Enrichment Options, better known as LEO, helps individuals with developmental disabilities achieve their life goals through supportive housing, recreation and employment opportunities, and community education.

LEO already has two houses in Issaquah where adults with special needs can live independently; volunteers have raised enough money to build a third house in the Issaquah Highlands. Any donations will go toward building a fourth house, LEO co-founder Leo Finnegan said.

The second nonprofit, Art with Heart, also has Issaquah roots. Art with Heart helps sick children use the creative power of art as a form of therapy.

It reoccurred throughout her childhood, and when chemotherapy wasn’t enough, doctors gave her a stem cell transplant, her mother, Reisha Holton said.

more at Skyline High School, Hallie has been cancer-free for 10 years.

Her early days of treatment inspired the formation of Art with Heart.

“A friend of mine, Peggie Zuckerman, stayed overnight with Hallie in the hospital,” Reisha Holton said.

The next day, Zuckerman had a business meeting with graphic artist Steffanie Lorig, and shared the story about Hallie. That conversation stayed on Lorig’s mind, and she had a dream that night about how to help hospitalized children like Hallie.

“The dream was the brainchild of what is now Art with Heart’s ‘Oodles of Doodles’ therapeutic activity book,” Lorig said.

Hallie’s younger sister Katie Holton also inspired a book, “Magnificent Marvelous Me,” a publication aimed at the siblings of sick children.

LEO and Art with Heart will have booths at Fenders on Front Street.

The goal is to raise $3,000 total, Naumann said.

Eastridge Church invites the community to put a little “vroom” in their weekend at its second annual Eastridge Car & Bike Show.

The show has a long list of activities, including a children’s bicycle decorating contest; chili cook-off and tasting; music; dozens of cars, motorcycles and hydroplanes on display; food for sale; inflatable games; and fun for the whole family.

The event is free, but the Eastridge community plans to raise money through registration and food sales. Proceeds will benefit the church’s Royal Family Kids’ Camp Issaquah, a summer camp for children in foster IF YOU GO care. The Royal Family Kids’ Eastridge Camp is part of a Church Car & nationwide proBike Show gram, with 7 a.m. to churches across the country each 1:30 p.m.

June 18 supporting individual camps.

24205 S.E. “This is an op- Issaquah-Fall portunity for our City Road community and Free admischurch family to sion. have fun together while contributing to a program that has a beneficial impact on the lives of kids who have been emotionally scarred,” said Steve Jamison, lead pastor of Eastridge Church. “It’s a family-friendly way to enjoy the Saturday of Father’s Day weekend while supporting a great cause.”

For the past 13 years, the Royal Family Kids’ Camp Issaquah has served King County children in foster care. For one week each summer, about 65 children ages 7-11 go east of the Cascade Mountains to a campground in Easton for archery, horse back riding, rock climbing, covered wagon rides, hikes and swimming.

“The camp is very structured because foster kids like structure,” camp Director Paul Emmett said.

“They work better in a structured environment.”

The faith-based camp also celebrates the children’s birthdays with one big party. Throughout the year, church members donate gifts to the camp for the birthday celebration.

“A lot of these kids get bounced around from home to home and they don’t get a chance to celebrate their birthdays,” said Heather Retzlaff, Jamison’s executive assistant.

The camp costs about $37,000 to put on, with each child’s part costing $550. The camp is free to campers, so any donations from the Eastridge Car & Bike Show will help keep the camp operating, Emmett said.

Roar of the hydros creates a buzz on the lake

Kip Brown, driver of the U-17 Miss Red Dot, powers down the straightaway on Lake Sammamish at more than 150 miles per hour during exhibition laps June 12 at Tastin’ n Racin’.

Beaver Lake residents could hear the pulsing vroom of the beefy hydroplane engines at Lake Sammamish from five miles away June 11 and 12. All weekend long, the racing machines skimmed along the water, wowing crowds that gathered along the shoreline.

The 5-litre boat races created an ominous, pounding hum that reverberated up and down the lake from the waterfront at Lake Sammamish State Park. And the vintage “thunderboats” boomed a low drone as they tore through the water in a thrilling display.

Event coordinators expected better-than-normal turnout in 2011 as the sun came out and the park dried up enough to attract visitors

Charles A. London

Charles A. London, of Bellevue, died May 26, 2011, in Palo Alto, Calif. He was 70.

A memorial service will be held at Chuck’s longtime home Charles A. London next to Vasa Park on Lake Sammamish, 17108 S.E. 35th St., Bellevue, on Saturday, June 25.

Everyone is welcome; please call Chuck’s grandson Seamus at 2731880 for details.

Chuck was born Aug. 2, 1940, in Oakland, Calif., to Charlotte Marie (Letts) London and Alexander Louis London. He was raised in Palo Alto, Calif., and also lived in Naperville, Ill. (in the 1950s), and Bellevue (since 1966).

Chuck was married once to Janice K. Williams, from 1963 to 1970. He never remarried.

Chuck attended San Jose State and Stanford universities; he had a degree in electrical engineering.

He was a member of the Stanford Alumni Association, Society of Professional Engineers in Aerospace and Boeing Retirees.

Chuck (also known as “Chuckles” to friends and family) was a busy engineer and single dad, and later a loving grandpa who had a unique view on life. He loved to “pontificate” and often pondered aloud the value of wisdom gained from life’s experiences.

He was an avid golfer in the

Boeing Employees Golf League. He loved playing the piano, tinkering with computers and just hanging out with friends and family. He also had a lifelong interest in aviation, cars, all technology, and movies and television. He appreciated a shot of good Kentucky bourbon and loved looking for deals at garage sales or liquidation stores, which he called “dirty stores.”

He loved watching or playing golf. He played every week in local leagues, often winning tourneys and continuing to participate until shortly before his death. He also played for many years with his father (a professor) on the exclusive Stanford course. Late in life, he was able to attend the Masters, which was a huge thrill for him.

Chuck had a unique and quirky view that made him both beloved and accepted, in spite of many interesting opinions on the day’s most controversial topics. He adored his mother, grandmother and two siblings. He especially loved to spoil his grandchildren.

He is survived by his daughter Melissa London, of Seattle, grandson Seamus Platt, of Bellevue, and other family. He is missed every day.

He was preceded in death by his brother Allan Paul London (who died April 24, 2011, in San Rafael, Calif.) and his granddaughter Genoa Kayte London (who died Jan. 20, 2009, in Eminence, Ky.).

Memorial donations may be made to a nonprofit organization that Chuck helped support: the Evergreen State College, http://give.evergreen.edu/contact.html.

Charles A. London Charles A. London, of Bellevue, died May 26, 2011, in Palo Alto, Calif. He was 70.

A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m.

July 9 at the Charles A. London Maplewood Greens, 4050 Maple Valley Highway, Renton.

Charles was born Aug 2, 1940, in Palo Alto, Calif., to A. Louis and Charlotte London.

In 1966, Chuck moved to the Bellevue/Issaquah area, where he lived and worked for The Boeing Co. for 30 years until his retirement in 1996. He continued to live in his home near Lake Sammamish until his death.

He earned a Bachelor of Science from Stanford University in electrical engineering in 1963, and a Master of Science from San Jose State in 1965.

In his spare time, Chuck loved computers, and was the “go-to guy” for anything electronic. As a young man, Chuck loved skiing, judo and boxing, and continued his love of sports into his later years with an unrelenting attachment to

Shelter urges cat adoptions throughout June Cats rank as the No. 1 companion animal in the United States.

Though more than 80 million felines live in households across the country, many more remain still in shelters, waiting for a permanent home.

In June, Regional Animal Services of King County is joining the American Humane Association, Petfinder.com, and other animal organizations in the Puget Sound region and throughout the United States to promote Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat Month.

the golf course. He played the guitar and piano, and he loved to sing.

He was known as the guy who could fix anything electronic, and he was building and repairing computers before anyone else had heard of a personal computer. He was instrumental in bringing electronic timing to the hydroplane races, and in Boeing’s implementation of personal computers in the workplace.

Chuck’s deepest and most abiding interest was his family and friends. He was there when anyone needed him, greeting every situation with a touch of wisdom and humor. He was very proud of his children and grandchildren, and loved them dearly. He was a loving father, grandfather, brother and friend.

He is survived by a sister, Deborah; three children, Melissa London, Colleen London and Angela London; eight grandchildren; and one great-grandchild.

He was preceded in death by his parents A. Louis and Charlotte London, and brother Allen P. London.

Ask the

Audiologist...

There are many things you can do to facilitate communication with a hardof-hearing person. Get their attention before you speak and face them so they can see you as they will instinctively do some lip reading.

Remember to speak clearly, not just loudly, and slow down! Rephrasing is always better than just repeating the same word over and over, and don’t be afraid to manipulate your environment, like moving to a quieter place, or turning off the TV. But, most important, BE PATIENT! Remember that communication can be very frustrating and exhausting for someone with hearing loss.

Take that first step… call an Audiologist.

From deep-fried candy bars to bratwurst and burgers, smoothies to waffle cones, event goers perused the plethora of vendor booths. Children dug in the sand on the beach as their parents lounged in the temporary sun.

Others watched the races from the beer garden, enjoying beer on tap from Seattle and Snoqualmie. Classic rock band Chrome Molly blasted “Highway to Hell” and other AC/DC songs from the main stage.

the show can register their cars or motorcycles in one of three categories: street rods, classics and bikes. The first 100 registrants will receive a free dash plaque or kickstand plate.

The day begins with a $5 breakfast, from 7-10 a.m., followed by a barbecue lunch available for purchase. Hungry participants can also pay $5 to sample the dozen or so chili en-

races, featuring nearly 90 racers who performed jumps and tricks, and participated in obstacle course races. On shore, car enthusiasts perused a classic car show, as well as the vintage hydro museum exhibit.

Jason Murphy, of Kenmore, got to sit in the U-17 Miss Red Dot cockpit, he said, and meet its driver, Kip Brown, an Issaquah High School alumni. The unlimited hydroplane did laps for exhibition between races and was clocked at more than 150 miles per hour. Murphy said he liked the view from the driver’s seat.

“You can barely see out of it,” he said as he played in the sand with his cousin Drew Heiser, of Seattle.

“It’s awesome, just the atmosphere,” said Matt Murphy, who brings his family each year.

“There’s a lot of stuff going on.”

HEALTH

Local neurosurgeons: Study linking cellphones, cancer too preliminary Studies proliferate possible connection between cellphone use, cancer cases

By Laura Geggel Issaquah Press reporter

countries convened in France at a meeting with the International Agency for Reach on Cancer. The group did not complete new research, but it did review epidemiological data — basically looking at data of people who used cellphones and then seeing how many of them had cancer.

The data showed an increased risk among heavy cellphone users for glioma, a type of brain tumor.

After reviewing the group’s work, the organization called cellphones a possible carcinogen, placing them in the same category as gasoline engine exhaust and coffee.

The group acknowledged the epidemiological data was limited, the organization reported.

The group did not give a percentage for the risk, but another study, called the Interphone study, did.

The Interphone study, also an epidemiological study, studied two groups of people: those with and without cancer. Researchers asked both groups how much they had used cellphones in the past 10 years.

The Interphone study found a 40 percent increased risk for gliomas in the highest category of heavy users, or people who used cellphones for at least 30 minutes per day during a 10-year period.

Still, glioma is a rare cancer, so the elevated risk will affect relatively few people.

Ever since the World Health Organization announced that cellphones were “possibly carcinogenic to humans,” in May, many people have wondered if they should change their cellphone habits.

Two Swedish Medical Center physicians have said it’s too soon to tell whether people should modify their mobile behavior.

“Most experts in the field are skeptical about this recommendation,” said John Henson, director of the Ben and Catherine Ivy Center for Advanced Brain Tumor Treatment at Swedish Medical Center.

At a conference he recently attended — the American Society of Clinical Oncology meeting in Chicago — the attending brain tumor specialists “were amazed at this recommendation” and wanted to see the full report, which will be published in July in “The Lancet Oncology,” Henson said.

The research behind the statement In a world approaching 7 billion people, cellphones are nearly as ubiquitous. There are an estimated 5 billion cellphone subscriptions worldwide, the World Health Organization reported.

From May 24-31, a working group of 31 scientists from 14

AAA gives tips to teenage drivers Summer is the deadliest time of year for teen drivers and passengers, with six of the top 10 deadliest days of the year occurring between the Memorial Day and Labor Day holidays, according to an analysis of crash data completed

by AAA. The 10 deadliest days for teen drivers and passengers are Jan. 21, May 20, May 26, June 10, July 2, July 4, July 9, July 15, July 23 and Nov. 11.

More than 7,300 teen drivers and passengers ages 13-19 died in traffic crashes between the Memorial Day and Labor Day holidays during the five-year period of 2005-2009, according to the AAA. An average of 422 teens die in traffic crashes during each of the deadly summer months as compared to a monthly average of 363 teen deaths during the nonsummer months.

Parents can coach their teenage drivers about a few measures, including limiting the number of teenage passengers, limiting time spent as a passenger, restricting nighttime driving and signing a parent-teen driving agreement.

“I think it is a little early to say we should put our cellphones down. I do think it is going to drive a lot of good critical question asking.”

— Dr. Douglas Backous Medical director for the Center for Hearing and Skull Base Surgery at Swedish Medical Center

Other studies The International Agency for Reach on Cancer group’s study is only one of many about cellphones. Earlier this year, research from the National Institutes of Health found that cellphones could speed up brain activity. Researches observed that when people talked on the phone for 50 minutes, the area of their brain that was closest to the phone’s antenna had faster activity.

The significance of the findings is unknown, the group reported in the Journal of American Medical Association.

Reactions to the WHO statement The new study is a good start, but more research needs to be done, Douglas Backous, medical director for the Center for Hearing and Skull Base Surgery at Swedish Medical Center, said.

“Part of the role of the World Health Organization is to look at the best data available, and if there is enough concern, to at least draw attention to it until more analysis can be done,” he said.

He noted that cellphone use has dramatically increased during the past decade.

“People are using their phones extensively,” Backous said. “If cellphones are indeed a carcinogen, you should be seeing more

Washington children had fewer cavities in 2010

cases.”

People who are concerned could always use a speakerphone or an earpiece when talking on their cellphone, and Backous urged parents to weigh risks before taking away a child’s cellphone.

“Would I withhold a cellphone from my daughter?” he asked, and answered, “I’m much more worried about her being alone in a parking lot, not able to call me.”

Instead, people should continue to follow the news and learn about updates when new studies are released.

“I think it is a little early to say we should put our cellphones down,” Backous said. “I do think it is going to drive a lot of good critical question asking.”

Children’s pearly whites are getting whiter. Fewer preschoolers from low-income families had cavities in 2010 compared to 2005, according to the 2010 Smile Survey.

The survey also found that more preschoolers from low-income families across Washington are receiving dental care.

The Washington State Department of Health conducts the Smile Survey every five years on children in Head Start, preschool and elementary school.

Among low-income preschoolers, cavities decreased from 46 percent in 2005 to 40 percent in 2010. In more encouraging news, preschoolers’ rate of untreated tooth decay was cut in half from 26 percent to 13 percent during the same period. Untreated tooth decay also declined significantly among third-graders. This is an indication that access to care has increased, according to the survey.

Both private and public entities have stepped forward to make dental healthcare more accessible. Washington’s Apple Health for Kids, which includes dental care, has expanded to more children.

More counties are also linking Medicaid-eligible children up to age 6 to dental care through Access to Baby and Child Dentistry.

Garrett Knapp, doctor of physical therapy with Overlake Hospital, shares information about body mass index testing.

Overlake hosts local cancer-prevention event One hundred and fifty people attended the Learn and Live Well Cancer Prevention Event presented by Overlake Hospital Medical Center on June 11 at Eastridge Church in Issaquah.

Participants visited booths and listened to presentations about reducing stress, making exercise easy, and helping prevent cancer and other chronic diseases.

Pam Rock, director of Overlake’s Cancer Center, said the hospital has a real commitment to providing education events to the public.

“Our hope for this event is to increase awareness of choices people can make to reduce their chances of cancer,” she said.

Keynote speaker Zonya Foco, a registered dietician and certified health and fitness instructor, kicked off the presentations with her talk “Fight Cancer with Your Fork.” She offered tips about cancer-fighting foods and nutrition, and stressed the importance of knowing the balance of carcinogenic foods, like sugars and processed meats, and cancer-preventing foods, like fruits and vegetables.

“My No. 1 nutritional tip is to quit kidding ourselves that three or four servings of fruits and vegetables a day are good enough,” she said.

She recommends nine to 13

servings of fruits and vegetables a day.

“Never have a bowl of cereal without blueberries or bananas.

And instead of scrambled eggs alone, add spinach or tomatoes,” she said. “Eat often, and include a fruit or vegetable each time you snack.”

Erica Rayner-Horn, who has a Master of Arts in counseling psychology and works with Mindful Therapy in Seattle, then spoke about meditation for health. During her presentation, she led the audience through a breathing exercise for relaxation.

Lexi Harlow, doctor of physical therapy with Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, and Garrett Knapp, doctor of physical therapy with Overlake Hospital, gave the final presentation about preventing cancer through physical activity.

Garrett said most people are aware that exercise improves the overall quality of life. He said research also shows, “you can lower your risk of developing cancer in your lifetime with a healthy and physically active lifestyle.”

After the presentations, participants had the opportunity to meet the presenters at their booths, and receive free food samples, free body mass index testing and were able to ask questions at the “Ask The Doc” booth.

All work will be within the Gilman Blvd right-of-way and above the ordinary high water line. The proposed work will be conducted during the summer of 2011 by the Issaquah Public Works Operations Department. TESC will be installed, including a silt fence along the creek. A backhoe would be placed at the top of bank, between the Gilman Blvd Bridge and the pedestrian bridge, with a dump truck along the road or on the shoulder.

Anyone wishing to comment may submit written comments to the Responsible Official between June 16, 2011 and June 29, 2011.

The Red Dot unlimited hydroplane wows the crowd, hitting 175 miles per hour on Lake Sammamish during an exhibition June 12.

Snarlin’ hydroplanes rocket across Lake Sammamish at Tastin’ n Racin’ Unlimited hydro hits 175 mph during an exhibition run

By Tim Pfarr Issaquah Press reporter The faint roar of engines drifted across the city’s rooftops June 11 and 12. For unsuspecting residents, it was the tale-tell sign that the hydroplanes were back on Lake Sammamish, zooming across the water at frantic speeds.

From Saturday morning to Sunday evening, fans were treated to numerous classes of hydroplane races, exhibitions and stunt shows, culminating with the weekend’s APBA Inboard Grand Prix final, won by Snohomish-based GP15 Miss Peters and May. An unlimited hydroplane — the largest and most powerful class of

hydroplane in the world — also took to the water to show off for the crowd, blazing at 175 miles per hour several hundred yards from the shore. It was the second year the event featured the spectacle.

“I think the fans in the crowd really enjoyed just the exhibition,” said Tastin’ n Racin’ co-chairman John O’Brien, who co-owns the Red Dot unlimited hydroplane, which took to the water. “Just to be able to see an unlimited hydroplane this close and on this body of water is phenomenal.”

The radio transmission between the driver and the crew was broadcast over the loudspeakers on the shore during the exhibition,

announcing the speed the boat reached as it thundered across the lake.

“The crowd was screaming down here,” O’Brien said. “It was ‘150, 155, 160. Wow!’ I’m pretty sure that 175 has got to be a record on Lake Sammamish.”

The unlimited hydroplane can hit 200 miles per hour on larger bodies of water, thanks to its T-55 turbine engine.

Competition was tight on the water throughout the weekend’s races, and although gusty winds made for choppy water at times, there were no crashes.

The Grand Prix finals the evening of June 12 were marked

“She relied on her boat’s wing to keep from going airborne. She said the wing is controlled by a pedal in the cockpit referred to as the “oh crap” pedal.”

A fleet of runners took to the second race of the annual Cougar Mountain Trail Run series June 11, led by 39-year-old Uli Steidl, who took first place in the 8.2mile run with a time of 51 minutes and 31 seconds.

Peter Samuels, a 24-year-old sporting a purple T-shirt, took second with a time of 52:01, and Amber Taylor, 31, was the first female to cross the finish line, taking 39th place with a time of 1:07:25.

The youngest runner of the day was 14-year-old Ellie Hendrickson, who finished 70th with a time of 1:12:33. Conversely, the oldest runner was 62-year-old Chris Lemke, who finished 82nd with a time of 1:15:07.

A total of 239 runners took to the hilly course, which was slightly longer than in previous years, as it opened with a loop at the Sky Country Trailhead.

“The guy who finished second, he took it out really hard,” Steidl said. “He actually dropped me on the first climb.”

Steidl managed to catch Samuels — who won the May 14 five-mile race — farther down the course, and the two ran closely See RUN, Page C7

Lakeside hurlers toss no-hitter Connor Gilchrist, Aaron Sandefur and Andrew Kemmerer combined on a no-hitter June 11 as Lakeside Recovery’s Senior American Legion team blanked Garfield, 7-0, in the second game of a doubleheader.

Lakeside Recovery, 7-1 in league play and 7-4 overall, also won the opener, 11-1.

In the second game, Gilchrist was the starting pitcher and picked up his first victory of the season. The Skyline High School player worked the first three innings before getting relieved by Sandefur, of Newport. Sandefur pitched the next three innings.

Kemmerer, of Issaquah, worked the seventh inning.

Nate Anderson, a Newport High School player, had three hits, one a home run, and knocked in three runs for Lakeside. Kemmerer had two hits and two RBIs. In the opener, Lakeside scored 11 times in the bottom of the fifth inning to snap a two-game losing streak. Dan Altchech, a Newport graduate, had two hits and three RBIs to lead Lakeside.

Altchech capped the fifth inning with a home run. Wes Blackburn, of Skyline, had two hits and drove in a run. Winning pitcher Brandon Lundeberg, of Skyline, tossed a complete game, allowing two hits and striking out nine batters.

Lakeside Recovery dropped a tough nonleague game June 8 to Chaffey, 4-3, at the Husky Ballpark. Lakeside got a strong effort from pitcher Travis Snider, of Skyline, but poor defensive play cost the club, which made five errors.

ter the first two drivers were disqualified.

The Olympia-based GP-17 Shockwave Racing boat, which crossed the finish line first, was disqualified for cutting through the course around a buoy, and the Everett-based GP-19 Miss Everett boat was disqualified for crossing the starting line early.

Smaller class finals preceded the Grand Prix finals. However, even the smaller boats — including the relatively small 1litre boats — put on an exciting show for attendees, as every class’ top speed was in the triple digits.

In the 1-litre final, Sammamish’s Bianca Bononcini took first in her Y-6 Pile Contractors boat, beating out her brother Nick’s Y-8 Pile Contractors boat, which took second.

Bianca Bononcini was in the front of the pack throughout the race, and when the top competitor broke down, she was able to take the checkered flag.

However, she said the wind

made for a bumpy ride.

“That back stretch is really, really rough, and it was pretty windy,” she said. “It got a little flighty a couple times, so it was pretty scary.”

Bononcini said she relied on her boat’s wing to keep from going airborne. She said the wing is controlled by a pedal in the cockpit referred to as the “oh crap” pedal.

The S-83 Mega Bucks boat — owned by Dutch Squires and driven by JP Squires of Lakewood, Colo. — took first in the 2.5-litre stock finals, and the Kent-based E-55 Peters and May boat — owned by Jeff Bernard and driven by Jeff Bernard and Kip Brown — took first in the 5-litre finals.

The Shelton-based NM-1 Macks Out boat — owned by Mack Elliott and driven by Jeff Bernard — took first in the National Modified category, and SS-96 Simple 2 boat — owned

by Sid Rennells and driven by Charlie Marquard of Warren, Ore. — took first in the super stock finals.

The Eatonville-based A-9 Knelleken Co. boat, owned and driven by Jared Knelleken, took first in the 2.5-litre modified finals.

until Steidl managed to pull away.

“After I had a little bit of a gap, I switched more to tempo run mode,” Steidl said. “Every time I looked back at a switchback I thought, ‘There’s a purple shirt.

I’ve got to keep it up.’”

Steidl held the record for the previous, 7.6-mile course with a time of 47:58. It was a record he set in 2005.

The bridges on course were slick June 11, sending several runners tumbling to the ground.

Among those who wiped out was Liberty High School cross country and track coach Michael Smith.

Smith was near the front of the pack, focusing on those in front of him when he slipped on the bridge three miles from the finish line, splashing into the creek below and scraping his thigh. He managed to get back on his feet to finish the race fifth.

“That’s racing, I guess,” Smith said with a laugh after the race. “I don’t have to cool down now.”

Taylor also ran the five-mile race in May, taking 38th. She said the previous race helped her prepare for the terrain she faced in the longer run.

“It was a fun race. I love coming out on this trail,” she said. “The second hill killed me.”

Uli Steidl, having a slice of watermelon last year at the end of his 13.1mile win, this year took first place in the 8.2-mile run with a time of 51 minutes, 31 seconds.

Students create city of the future

r Gold Sta

By Christopher Huber Issaquah Press reporter The day after Ron Ciraulo’s fourth-graders presented their futuristic city project to city leaders, Kameron Gurol, Sammamish’s director of community development, personally commended the teacher for the students’ highquality work.

“For somebody like that to go out of his way to stop and tell you, ‘Hey, we were really impressed with that’ … The surprise for me was that it was such a huge hit for council and staff members,” Ciraulo said. “ I think they were really impressed with the quality of work these kids were doing.”

Ciraulo’s gifted fourth-graders (the SAGE program) at Creekside and Grand Ridge elementary schools recently finished their yearlong Polyhedraville city-building project. As a team, the 29 students presented the 8-by-8-foot, 3-D model to the City Council on June 7. Group leaders had rehearsed facts and features to highlight about the project, which covered lessons in math, social studies, community planning, building codes, communication and government.

“It was actually kind of fun. I was a little bit nervous,” said Cole Hinkelman, a Creekside fourthgrader.

Cascade Ridge students pack 5,456 meals By working with the nonprofit organization Children of the Nations, 110 fifthgrade students at Cascade Ridge Elementary School packed 5,456 meals for children overseas April 19.

Each meal included a dehydrated vegetable mix, a vegetarian flavoring with added vitamins and minerals, and rice and lentils.

The meals will go to Sierra Leone, Malawi, Haiti or the Dominican Republic.

For the third year, Cascade Ridge fifth-graders learned about common foods eaten in other countries, such as lentils and rice. Students also did household chores to raise money for the nonprofit, bringing in $1,360 that will help transport the food.

There is no time to wait The first time I heard “Waiting on the World to Change,” by John Mayer, I thought it was inspiring and motivating.

It talks about all of the problems in the world that need changing and how someday those problems will be solved.

However, my perception of the song was altered when my dad pointed something out that I did not originally notice.

“I don’t like that the message in the song is to wait for the world to change,” my father said.

“He shouldn’t be waiting. He should be changing it himself.”

I was shocked. How could I have overlooked such a crucial detail in the meaning of the lyrics? From then on, listening to the song has been my reminder that I do not want to wait for the world to change.

I want to change it myself.

With graduation behind them, students are planning out the next step of their lives. Once we move our tassels from the right to the left, we step out of the comfortable structure of high school and into an independent life. People won’t remind us to challenge ourselves, to try new things or to get involved. We will have to make those decisions on our own.

It is often easier to sit back and

Hall Monitor Shayna Waldbaum Liberty High School let others take the lead, because being a follower allows people to avoid responsibility and pressure.

However, when no one steps up as the leader, no progress is made.

The world is riddled with many serious problems that require motivated people to fix.

I can only hope that the class of 2011 goes out into the world with the motivation and perseverance needed to make such progress.

Everyone has the ability to be a leader and make a difference by taking initiative in his or her own life. I believe our class contains these abilities and could be the ones to accomplish feats like curing cancer, eliminating AIDS and alleviating homelessness.

It will not be easy, but we have got to go out and change the world ourselves and stop “waiting, waiting on the world to change.”

Schools in focus Grand Ridge Elementary School On the first day of school last August, the students were given a challenge: It’s 200 years in the future and the world is overpopulated. Compete to design a community for one of the few remaining undeveloped areas of the world.

“My favorite part would probably have to be creating our ideas, building our buildings,” Grand Ridge student Brian Park said.

“Through your imagination, you can kind of roam free and create whatever you want.”

The students had to address what types of buildings would be used, how the city would be organized and what city planners have to consider when planning development. To help the students understand using a comprehensive plan, Emily Arteche, a lead planner with the city of Sammamish, visited each class, Ciraulo said.

“I felt good and proud of myself because we worked hard on it. It turned out to be a really good city,” said Sami Bening, of Creekside. “To show it to the City Council was really fun with my team and my friends.”

Early in the process, the students learned about polyhedrons — three-dimensional geometric solids with flat faces and straight lines. They were tasked with designing their own idea of a futuristic city. Each class then voted on the best one. For the next eight months, they worked in small groups on eight smaller portions

Below, a group of 29 Creekside and Grand Ridge elementary school fourth-graders pose with the Sammamish City Council after presenting their Polyhedraville project June 7. of the city grid.

All the while, Ciraulo taught about architecture, engineering, collaboration, self-assessment and budgeting — each student had $50,000 to build a house and one other building, he said. Because the students were working at two different schools, Ciraulo developed the online Polyhedraville Wiki, which stored important project files, facilitated class votes and helped the students ask each other questions.

“Certainly, one of the greatest challenges to the success of the project was constructing the city in two different locations,” Ciraulo said. “This made effective communication critical.”

Ciraulo said this was the ninth year he’s conducted the project with fourth-graders.

“I really liked the project because it’s very unique. I’ve never experienced anything like it,” said

BY RON CIRAULO

Students said they had never completed such a large project, but it was rewarding in many ways.

“I like how we had to work together to create the whole city,” Cole said.

He said it was challenging to build the larger buildings to scale from the miniature model.

“We kind of had to move some stuff around,” he said. “My favorite part was actually making my building and my house, because I could design it however I wanted.”

Aubrey said one of the more difficult parts was to make sure the roads from the Grand Ridge half connected with the roads on the Creekside half of the city. The classes joined their halves together two weeks before the City Council presentation, Ciraulo said.

“The project touches on so many of their capabilities,” he said. “To see how much they invested through the year, I think the rewards were significant for them.”

EFR backs life vest requirement

By Caleb Heeringa and Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporters Eastside Fire & Rescue leaders offered support last week for a King County measure to require boaters and swimmers to wear life vests on major rivers.

The proposal calls for the King County Sheriff’s Office to enforce wearing a U.S. Coast Guardapproved personal flotation device on portions of the Raging, Snoqualmie, Tolt, Cedar, Green, Skykomish and White rivers in unincorporated areas. For firsttime violators, the penalty is a warning, but subsequent violators could face fines of up to $86.

If the council approves, the proposed ordinance is due to last through the summer recreation season until Oct. 31.

EFR Deputy Chief Jeff Griffin said the bill is designed to address higher-than-normal river levels.

The agency’s service area encompasses large unincorporated areas, including Preston and much of the Snoqualmie Valley.

The tumultuous winter flood season changed river channels and reoriented logs, creating a

challenge for boaters and swimmers. The snowpack in some Cascade river basins is about 200 percent of normal.

Griffin said King County experiences about 23 drowning deaths per year. EFR responded to a drowning last month, after a 29year-old Bothell man drowned in the Snoqualmie River after trying to rescue his dog. The dog made it to shore on its own after the man went in.

EFR board members offered unanimous support for the life jacket measure. Issaquah Councilman Mark Mullet said the requirement “seems like common sense.”

The proposed ordinance calls for the county to post signs at primary access points to major rivers, and to join regional organizations focused on drowning prevention to promote life vest use.

“It feels a little bit Big Brotherish, but then again, it’s been an unusual year,” board Chairman Ron Pedee said.

King County Executive Dow Constantine, backed by public and health officials and organizations, called for the life vest rule.

County Councilman Larry Phillips

introduced the measure.

“This proposal will help save lives,” Constantine said in a statement. “River flows are unusually swift and cold this year due to a heavy mountain snowpack that is melting into King County rivers.

Rivers are inherently dangerous places to play, but this year is bringing additional risks.

“The wearing of life jackets is as essential for swimmers and boaters as helmets for cyclists and seat belts for drivers.”

County Council members referred the measure to the Transportation, Economy and Environment Committee for consideration June 6.

“We support this proposal,” Sheriff Sue Rahr said in a statement. “The vast majority of river accidents to which our Marine Unit responds could have been prevented if recreationalists had simply worn a PFD (personal flotation device), had been sober or had a better understanding of the dangerous nature of rivers.”

The most recent drowning in the Issaquah area occurred in June 2010 at Lake Sammamish State Park, in unincorporated King County.

Councilmen focus on public safety

By Warren Kagarise Issaquah Press reporter Reagan Dunn and Bob Ferguson could face off for statewide office soon, but in the meantime, the King County councilmen proposed a measure to make protecting residents’ rights and public safety the No. 1 job of county government.

The councilmen introduced a charter amendment June 9 to add language to the King County Charter to make protecting the rights and public safety paramount.

Ferguson, a Democrat, is running for state attorney general.

Dunn, a Republican, is considering a bid for the office. The current attorney general, Republican Rob McKenna, entered the 2012

race for governor June 8. Washington voters pick a governor and attorney general next year.

If the council adopts the measure, voters could decide on the amendment in November.

Dunn represents unincorporated King County near Issaquah, as well as Newcastle and parts of Bellevue and Renton.

“The criminal justice system should be the top priority of local government. Without personal safety, none of the other freedoms that we enjoy can be realized.

This charter amendment reaffirms the county’s commitment to preserving public safety,” he said in a statement. “It was important that Councilmember Ferguson and I did this together to show unity in our resolve to put this amendment on the ballot.”

Issues related to public safety in unincorporated King County came to the fore last year, as council members reduced the King County Sheriff’s Office budget.

The proposed amendment calls on the county to establish service levels for the criminal justice system, and make ample provision for police and court services.

“Protecting the rights and safety of the people is always job No. 1 of government. This charter amendment signals our commitment to keeping the administration of justice our top priority,” Ferguson said in a statement.

“This is a fundamental value of government, and I am pleased to be partnering with Councilmember Dunn to put this amendment on the ballot.”

State links Issaquah traffic cameras into regional network

The state Department of Transportation has established a fiberoptic communication link between Issaquah and the regional traffic camera network.

The physical link between Issaquah City Hall Northwest and the Department of Transportation communication system — a fiberoptic connection at the state Route 900 and Interstate 90 westbound on-ramp — is part of the Traffic Buster project.

The effort connects 22 agencies in the Puget Sound region to share transportation data and video from traffic cameras. Once completed, planners said the Traffic Buster network should provide a

High school students win 5th Avenue Theatre best acting awards

By Laura Geggel Issaquah Press reporter

T

wo students from Liberty and Eastside Catholic high schools — junior Tucker Goodman and senior John Winslow — have landed the most prestigious acting awards of their young careers.

Liberty High School’s Goodman won Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role at The 5th Avenue Theatre’s annual awards honoring high school musical theater on June 6.

For the winning role, he played the Chairman of the Board for the Patriot Players’ performance of “The Mystery of Edwin Drood,” a musical based on an unfinished novel written by Charles Dickens.

This isn’t Goodman’s first nomination, although it is his first award from The 5th Avenue. In 2010, Goodman received a nomination for Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role for his performance as Cinderella’s prince in “Into the Woods.”

Goodman called the award “an honor” and said he received it with the “help of a bunch of committed people.”

“Acting is all about telling a story and making the audience feel something, whether they’re feeling happy or sad,” he said. “I like to share feelings and stories with people through acting.”

Goodman doesn’t only shine onstage.

His classmates recently elected him to serve as Associated Student Body president for the next school year, and he is also in the top 3 percent of students who took the 2012 National Merit exam.

Eastside Catholic High School’s Winslow, of Issaquah, earned Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble Group for his performance of “Once on this Island.” He shares the award with sophomore Nalani Saito, senior Aiko Suetsugu and senior Madison King-Foster, who played an ensemble of gods.

The musical also served as a fundraiser to give relief to victims of the Haiti earthquake. The Eastside Catholic actors and crew raised nearly $400 by selling handmade-from-thread “friendship” bracelets.

Both Liberty and Eastside Catholic’s productions earned several nominations from The 5th Avenue Theatre awards.

The Patriot Players received eight nominations for “The Mystery of Edwin Drood,” including Outstanding Choreography, Outstanding Costume Design, Outstanding Program Design and Outstanding Performance by a Chorus. Performer Paige Fabre, a senior, also received an acting nomination in the statewide competition.

The musical earned the Patriot Players honorable mentions in the Outstanding Overall Musical Production and Outstanding Direction categories.

Seattle’s Macklemore to headline Sammamish Teen Fest

By Caleb Heeringa Issaquah Press reporter One of Seattle’s most popular hip-hop artists will help kick off local teens’ summers June 17.

Macklemore, which recently sold out three consecutive nights at Seattle’s Showbox at the Market and performed at Safeco Field for the Seattle Mariners’ opening day ceremony, will headline Sammamish’s fourth annual Teen Fest.

Bands from local high schools will open for Macklemore, starting at 6 p.m.

The event is only for students from Redmond, Eastlake, Eastside Catholic, Skyline and Issaquah high schools, and their feeder schools. Students must show an Associated Student Body card or student ID. No one younger than 13 or older than 20 will be admitted.

The event will also include a skate competition that will be judged by semiprofessional skaters. The event is open to boys and girls 10 and older.

The event will also include sumo wrestling suits and other blow up games, and a photo booth.

Lynne Handlos, who is coordinating the event for the city along with the Boys and Girls Club, said bad weather limited

attendance to about 500 students last year, but she said she’s hopeful that up to 1,000 will attend this year. Handlos said organizers are in the process of booking local students’ bands and are getting much more interest than in years past.

“It used to be that we had to reach out to them, but now they are the ones contacting us,” she said.

Handlos said off-duty police officers will be on hand for crowd control, bags will be checked and no one will

be allowed re-entry for the safety of attendees.
